"It's just a basic design concept that I take into account when thinking about what kind of car we want to be: minimise machine space, maximize ride space, and provide passengers with as much space as possible with limited body size." Chen Geng took the design concept of Honda housekeeping without guilt...... Anyway, Honda hasn't quit the "MM" concept now, has it? In addition, the "MM" concept is not an exclusive patent of Honda, and the most popular K-car cars in Japan are basically made according to this concept.

The power of the "MM" concept is huge, and the eyes of Huo Dongfang, Wang Damin, and Feng Hua lit up in unison: "Minimize the machine space and maximize the riding space?" ”

All along, they just considered copying a Fiat 126P, never thought of developing a car from scratch, as for proposing a design concept, it was something that never appeared in their minds, and now Chen Geng's concept of "minimizing machine space and maximizing riding space" is like a sunshine piercing the dark clouds, making their whole hearts brighten:

That's right! In the case of limited body size, how to maximize the available seating and use space? How do you make users feel as comfortable as possible? The Fiat 126P is definitely not a comfort-oriented car, he just solves the most basic problems of a car: it can walk, it can shelter from the wind and rain, and as for comfort, it is needless to mention.

Feng Hua's eyes lit up terribly: "With only a body length of 3.4 meters, can you really make this effect?" ”

Chen Geng thought for a while and said, "There is no evidence. So be it. Let's go back and make a 1:10 clay model first. After that, I will make a 1:1 clay body model and a 1:1 ride space model at the same time, and the time for about half a month should be about the same, what do you think? ”

"Good!" Feng Hua didn't say a word, and immediately agreed.

――――――――――――――――

In order to show the strength of Runhua Industry to the comrades of Xiangjiang Machinery Factory, the old man specially arranged a lot of projects, but to the old man's surprise, the comrades of Xiangjiang Machinery Factory looked a little absent-minded.

What's going on? Could it be that they feel that they are not being well received here? Seize the opportunity. The old man grabbed Chen Geng and asked him what was going on.

When Chen Geng explained the situation, the old man's surprised mouth couldn't close, and after a long time, he looked at Chen Geng as if he was looking at an alien: "What do you mean, you have already independently designed a car by yourself in the past few days in the capital?" ”

"Shh......h Be quiet," Chen Geng covered Old Man Xie's mouth in fright, desperately lowered his voice, and whispered: "I told them that I borrowed mature products from the Japanese, you can't tell me that I missed my mouth." ”

"Is it a leak now? It's just a shadowless thing. With our technical level, how can we come up with a car with a high degree of maturity? Old Man Xie was anxious: "Xiao Chen." Is this a joke? ”

"I'm not kidding, I did complete the main concept design, and I sorted out the follow-up development ideas smoothly......"

"The key is not this," Old Man Xie interrupted Chen Geng's words, and said: "You are learning cars, and I have also dealt with cars all my life, we all know that the car is a complex mechanical aggregate, to design a car, at least a technical team of hundreds of people must be there to perfect various details, just like that, in the early stage of a product launch, there will inevitably be all kinds of strange problems."

If we take a mature model as a reference, these problems can be avoided to the greatest extent, of course your idea is good, just take this opportunity to train our own manpower, but have you considered it, how can we be a company that has not developed a car at all?

If you look at our neighbors Japan and South Korea, their auto industry is developed enough, right? But what did they do in the early stages of development? Isn't it the same as I said, starting from learning mature foreign models, step by step to the present? ”

After a pause, Old Man Xie said earnestly: "Xiao Chen, your idea is good, but to do industry, the most important thing is to be down-to-earth, and you can't get quick success, don't think that you can become a big fat man in one bite, even if you really eat a big fat man, it is fat!" When our company grows in the future, when the funds are sufficient and there is a strong technical team, it will be the time for us to develop a car by ourselves......"

The old man Xie Minsheng persuaded Chen Geng to give up this idea, he felt that Chen Geng was carried away by his previous success, for the old man Xie Minsheng, who had already regarded Runhua Industry as the last career of his life, Runhua Industry was not his Chen Geng's alone, it belonged to the owner of Runhua Industry, and he would never allow Chen Geng to make such a mistake and he was indifferent.

Chen Geng knows that what Mr. Xie said is the truth, under normal circumstances, from imitation to originality is the only way for any automobile manufacturing enterprise to develop, such as Mercedes-Benz, Ford, which have come step by step from the early stage of the development of the automobile industry, those automobile giants developed after World War II, all of them are "imitation first and then original" road, even if Toyota, which is already the world's top giant in the automobile industry, wants to continue to go up when you have to go again "imitate first and then original" The old road, such as Toyota's Lexus (Lexus) model that is now secretly launched, careful friends will find that the first-generation Lexus LS400 is simply the same as the contemporary, chassis code W126 Mercedes-Benz S-class is carved out of the same mold, almost the same chassis suspension structure, exactly the same two-tone body design, the same square headlights...... Even Toyota, when asked about the relationship between the LS400 and the W126, has to use words such as "learning" and "borrowing".

"I know you're for the company, I'm glad you can do this, really," Chen Geng took a deep breath and said, "In this way, you give me a month to help, and after half a month, if you still stick to your current views after seeing my works......"

Old Man Xie interrupted Chen Geng's words and said, "Do you think you can convince me in half a month?" ”

"Anyway, it's only half a month, and I can't do anything, right?" Chen Geng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile.

Staring at Chen Geng's eyes fixedly, after a while, Old Man Xie finally nodded: "Okay!" We'll see in half a month. ”

It's only half a month, he doesn't think that Chen Geng can do anything shocking in half a month to make him change his mind, but on the other hand, if Chen Geng can change his mind in half a month, even if he accompanies him crazy?

………………………………

What can you do in half a month? For many people, half a month has not changed at all, but for Chen Geng, this half a month is in a sense half a month of Genesis.

On the morning of the first day, looking at the confused people standing in front of him, Chen Geng handed over a stack of materials to each of them: "Comrades, the next half month is the half month of our team to create miracles, and it is also the hardest half month in everyone's life, this half a month, everyone will work more than 18 hours a day, if anyone feels that they can't bear this hardship, they can quit now, I can assure you that no one will be affected by the current launch, After all, the next month and a half was too hard, and even a young man like me felt that it might not be able to bear it. ”

"Isn't it possible to sleep more than 5 hours a day," Du Sirui said nonchalantly: "In the past, when we were busy with research work, it was not uncommon for us to only sleep four or five hours a day for a month or two. ”

"Okay," After waiting for a while, he didn't see anyone willing to come out, Chen Geng nodded slowly: "Since everyone refuses to quit, then be prepared to endure hardship." ”

Day 1:

At 10:00 a.m., a 10:1 model of oil clay was born from Chen Geng's hands.

At 11:30 a.m., the first drawing was officially completed from Chen Geng's hands.

At 11:40 a.m., the chassis construction of the clay model was completed at 1:3 a.m.......

At 14:15 in the afternoon, the design drawing of the central control was released, and the 1:1 car interior space construction project began to be manually ......

Day 2:

At 10:45 a.m., the 1:3 clay model operated by Chen Geng was 60% complete......

Day 3:

…………

Day 4:

Construction of the 1:1 clay model begins......

Day 6:

The main and co-pilot seats were completed......

Day 8:

1:1 clay model completed......

On the tenth day, whether he was worried about Chen Geng's nonsense, or worried about Chen Geng's body, the old man Xie Minsheng, who had been silently watching the movements here, finally couldn't hold back, the moment he walked into the studio, looking at the 1:1 clay model in the center of the huge studio, and then looking at a few engineers with unshaven beards and sleeping on the floor, the old man's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

Looking left and right, but he couldn't see Chen Geng's shadow, Old Man Xie Minsheng grabbed a person casually and asked eagerly, "Where is Manager Chen?" ”

"Manager Chen? Isn't that ......" The man who was pulled by casually pointed to the man next to him whose hair was covered with sawdust and dry mud, and who was dirty and looked so thin that he didn't look like a talker.
