Chapter 549: Aftermath
Compared with Africa, there are more things that need to be arranged in Shenzhen, not to mention that Lu Shaohua still has his own plans, he had to give a special explanation to Chu Lei at that time, as for Chu Lei, such a big thing happened to Phoenix Motors, and he, the person in charge of the Phoenix base, also knew it, Lu Shaohua suddenly called him, and he also knew that there was something he needed to do, so he listened quietly.
Lu Shaohua did not disappoint Chu Lei, and quickly cut to the topic and began to explain. "Our steel is a big loser right now, but don't worry, I've got people working on a new refining technology, and it will be delivered in two days."
After a pause, Lu Shaohua didn't wait for Chu Lei to interject and continued. "All you need to do now is prepare the interior of a car, and then wait for the steel refining technology to come and start manufacturing and capping the shell."
"Understood, I'll be ready." Chu Lei on the other end of the phone didn't dare to relax, and said seriously.
"Wait." Lu Shaohua seemed to think of something, called a pause, and asked after thinking about it. "Our Phoenix cars are only those models now, right?"
Lu Shaohua rarely cared about the affairs of Phoenix Motors, only when he first started to build a few models, he didn't care about it anymore, and now what the situation is, I don't know if a new model has been designed.
"We now have four models, two of which were designed by you at the time, and two of which are bulletproof car models, which have not been designed since. Chu Lei replied.
"Hmm." Lu Shaohua responded, fell silent, thought for a while, and then said. "Well, I'll design another model, well, I'll be able to get it out later, you have to get people ready for everything, and when my model arrives, the engine and other things have to be changed quickly."
The model of a car is related to the architecture of the whole car, and many spare parts must be designed according to the situation of the model, so if you want to make a new type of car, you must first design the model, and then manufacture it.
As for why the design of new models, Lu Shaohua of course has his plans, always use those two models, Lu Shaohua feels that this is not good, although it can still maintain the sales volume of the market, but some consumers like freshness, if it goes on for a long time, the sales of Phoenix Motors will definitely decline.
Therefore, the emergence of new models will definitely make the sales of Phoenix Motors reach a new high, which Lu Shaohua can be 100% sure. Of course, there is also a premise in this, that is, Phoenix Motors must surpass other cars in all aspects.
Advantages, Phoenix Motors has never lacked advantages, even if the steel is weaker than Toyota, Phoenix Motors will not be in a weak position, Lu Shaohua has this confidence, not to mention that the so-called steel weakness will be solved immediately.
Lu Shaohua designed a new model for a more important reason, that is, to take advantage of this opportunity to promote, according to Lu Shaohua's arrangement, invite well-known media from all over the world to participate, this is a rare experience, if the new model of Phoenix Motors appears this time, and win the final victory, Lu Shaohua can save a lot of advertising costs.
Kill two birds with one stone, oh, no, more than that, it is more accurate to say that it should be three birds with one stone, because Lu Shaohua has a better excuse to make the challenge a week later.
Now it is different from the past, the last time against the car manufacturers of the stick country, because it was the first time, Lu Shaohua would be fine even if he postponed it for a month, but now it is different, looking at the posture of Toyota and Honda, they have been investigated and demonstrated, and they wish to hold a challenge immediately, so Phoenix Motors will definitely lose.
And if Lu Shaohua said that Phoenix Motors is manufacturing a new model, and it will be able to leave the factory in another week, it will be reasonable to delay it for a week, and another week is not a long time, I believe no one will object.
Everything is in Lu Shaohua's plan, but in the emergence of a new plan, Phoenix Motors will also have some losses, after all, the emergence of new models and new steel, so what about the cars that have been produced or are being produced?
Reclaim? No, it is impossible to recycle, and if it is recycled, Phoenix will have a greater loss. After all, the refining technology of new models and new steel, consumers will definitely choose new models to buy, and people who buy old models account for a minority.
There is only one way to deal with it, and that is to reduce the price, and only by reducing the price can the cars that have been produced or are being produced be emptied, but in this case, there is also a loss, and the loss is not small.
"What about the cars that have already been launched on the market and are being produced at the base?" Chu Lei on the other end of the phone obviously thought about this problem and asked.
This is a big problem, Lu Shaohua's new plan has not thought about this problem, but this problem exists, and Lu Shaohua's new plan must also be implemented, which suddenly makes Lu Shaohua difficult.
The two are indispensable, and Lu Shaohua must come up with a solution in order to smoothly implement the next things.
"The price of the cars that have been launched on the market has been reduced, and the cars that are being produced at the base will have their shells removed, and the steel will be replaced with brand new ones, and the original models will be produced." Lu Shaohua came to the result after thinking about it carefully and gave the order decisively.
Cars that have been put on the market cannot be recycled, and Lu Shaohua can only deal with them by reducing prices, and strive to sell the cars outside. As for the cars that are being produced at the base or have already been produced and placed at the base, the shell will be removed and replaced with a new one.
It is not difficult to change the new shell at all, and it will not affect anything, anyway, Lu Shaohua does not plan to end the old model, the old model still has to let it exist, since it wants to exist, then the spare parts inside do not need to be changed, only change one model, and the loss can be minimized.
The problem has been fundamentally solved, and other things can be handed over to Chu Lei to solve, and he, Lu Shaohua, has nothing to explain. It's just that Lu Shaohua's plan is immediate, and the future development direction has not been arranged, so Chu Lei has to start from the overall situation and say some suggestions.
"The momentum of our Phoenix car is very good, after changing the steel and models, I think we will have to develop in this direction in the future, such as models, new models will definitely be popular for a while, so I think that it is far from enough to design only one model, it is best to design three to four models, we can also cope with future challenges." The meaning contained in Chu Lei's words is obvious, be prepared.
For this kind of suggestion, Lu Shaohua also agreed, design a few more to meet the challenges of the future, after all, with the change of the times, the pace of automobile reform will also be accelerated, the replacement of models will also be accelerated, and the design of a few more models will be able to be used in the near future.
"Yes, I'll design a few more." Speaking of this, Lu Shaohua paused, and then continued. "But now is not the time to talk about that, what we have to do now is to meet the challenge and win the final victory, so I'm just going to design one first, and you have to hurry up and make it."
No, after finishing speaking, Lu Shaohua didn't wait for Chu Lei to interject, changed his breath, and said. "We don't have much time, we only give you a week in total, and I'll let people out today to fight Toyota and Honda next week."
"A week?" Chu Lei on the other end of the phone roared, very surprised by this schedule. "A week is too little."
"Less has to be done." Lu Shaohua said in a deep voice, as if he was giving a death order. "We can't delay, we can't drag, I only have a week to buy you, and you only need to make new steel and make a set of new models of shell installation in this week's time, as for other spare parts should not be much changed, because the new model I designed will not be too different from the old model."
Lu Shaohua has long thought that the new model will be based on the old model, and the difference will not be too big, and only in this way will a new car be manufactured in a week, otherwise it will not be able to complete the task at all.
Having said that, Chu Lei has nothing else to say, but he is still relieved, because Lu Shaohua has already said that the difference is not very big, so it means that there will not be too many changes over there, and the pressure will be reduced.
"I'm going to go over and arrange it right away, so that all the parts are ready, and as soon as your model comes, I'll get people to work." Although the two were talking on the phone, Lu Shaohua could still hear the tone of Chu Lei's words, which was very urgent.
"I'll be there in two hours." Lu Shaohua also gave a positive timetable.
"Okay."
…… After talking to Chu Lei, Lu Shaohua made another phone call to Qin Sichen, and the general content of the call was to ask her to add an excuse when she announced that she would deal with the challenge, this excuse was that the new model of Phoenix Motors would leave the factory in a week, and the new model of Phoenix Motors was required to collide with it, so it was necessary to wait for the new model of Phoenix Motors to appear.
Fortunately, Qin Sichen has not let people release the news, and Lu Shaohua's sudden call is also very timely, but it has passed.
Qin Sichen said that he understood on the phone, and then hurriedly hung up the phone to arrange the release of the news, and then prepared to be interviewed by the media, to determine the correct surname of the news, and then invited well-known media from all over the world to participate at that time.
As for Lu Shaohua, after hanging up the call with Qin Sichen, he began to design a new model, at this time, the memory of his previous life once again showed its power, and all kinds of famous cars he had seen in his previous life flashed in his mind, and the pencil in his hand did not stop, and he began to draw.
An hour passed quickly, and an hour later, Lu Shaohua finally designed the new model, called Li Shangkui, took the new model to Li Shangkui, and asked him to fly the escort fighter to Shenzhen and deliver it to Chu Lei.
At this point, everything arranged by Lu Shaohua has officially come to an end, and then it depends on Chu Lei to produce a new model in a week, and then participate in the challenge.
