Chapter 653: Stealing the Master
It's sun! I really don't give myself face! Seeing that he blatantly violated traffic rules, even Zhang Lan saw an intersection not far in front of him, and a traffic police officer from Rizhao City waved his hand at him. It's a bit of a feeling of being molested.
Looking at Zhang Lan's blatant red light, it seemed that he was waiting for himself to go up and stop their behavior, and all the traffic police told themselves in their hearts: I didn't see it, I didn't see anything!
Compared with the administrative area of Linshi, the administrative area of Rizhao City is really small, and after entering the boundary of Linshi after leaving Rizhao, it took more than two hours to reach his company.
These cars, there seems to be some places that can't be parked, directly thrown outdoors to let these single amount of cars worth millions of dollars in the wind and rain seems to be a bit of a violent thing, the best place to park is the Alice Automobile Factory that is specially used to put the "Longxuan" series of luxury cars in those large warehouses, anyway, there are only ten cars, looking at the area is not small, but compared to the entire large warehouse, the area used by these ten cars is really not worth mentioning.
When the team arrived at the Alice Group's automobile production plant, it was just the time to get off work and have lunch at noon, and the workers looked at such a group of huge cars in their own company, led by the iconic big car of their own little boss, and the rest were some strange cars that they had never seen before. But they are all the treasures of their own fleet.
Zhang Lan held his chin in his right hand, standing in front of these cars, Xixi looked at the ten Mercedes-Benz 6X6 military all-wheel drive heavy trucks that had been heavily modified by AMG, and his heart was also very beautiful: with these cars, his team will basically not have much to worry about the logistics supply of the team in the future. Well, but these cars are all-wheel drive military heavy trucks, isn't it a bit of a waste to use them?
All-wheel drive military heavy trucks? Zhang Lan was excited, and suddenly remembered the project that he was assigned to the truck R&D and design department of the group with Vladimir as the main designer at the turn of autumn and summer this year, Zhang Lan called Jill who was preparing to go up there to join in the fun, "Sister Jill, call Vladimir and say that no matter what they are doing now, there are good things for them, let them come over quickly, come now." ”
"Well," Jill nodded, although he didn't know what Vladimir from Zhang Lan Khan's truck was doing, but since Zhang Lan called him over, he naturally had his own ideas. took out the phone and dialed the office phone of Vladimir, the chief designer of the truck R&D department of Alice Automotive Industry Group, without even thinking about it: at this point, Vladimir, a working maniac, must still be in the office.
"What's the matter?" In less than twenty minutes, Vladimir drove a car from the truck R&D department of the Alice Institute of Integrated Applied Science and Technology. got out of the car and trotted to Zhang Lan, with an excited face, "I heard Miss Jill say that there is any good news to tell me?" Have something good for us truck design department? Where is the stuff? ”
"Well, of course there are good things for you to see," Zhang Lan took Vladimir's arm and came to the front of the ten Mercedes-Benz 6X6 military all-wheel drive heavy trucks, pointed to these cars, and proudly showed off to Vladimir, "Look, how is this guy?" ”
"Mercedes-Benz Military Trucks' latest 6X6 military all-wheel drive heavy-duty truck?" Vladimir asked in surprise and disbelief, "This is a good thing, it can't be done without a way." He was a little curious, "Boss, where did you get these cars?" ”
This is despite the fact that the exterior of these Mercedes-Benz military all-wheel drive heavy-duty trucks is painted with the Alice Racing logo and the logos of various sponsors. Even in order to adapt to the requirements of the Dakar Rally. Even the appearance has been changed. But as the truck fought all his life to hand over to Vladimir. I just took a look at the basic structure of the car. Or at a glance to see the essence of this painted bells and whistles truck: 6X6 Mercedes-Benz military heavy truck!
"It's a good thing, isn't it?" Zhang Lan was also smug at the moment. "This truck was a logistics vehicle that we bought at a high price from the Mercedes-Benz military truck department in order to participate in the Dakar Rally. And that's not all. These cars have all been heavily modified by Mercedes-Benz's royal tuning manufacturer AMG. Just a car costs more than $100! ”
"Can you lift the cockpit and show me the engine and chassis structure?" Heard Zhang Lan say this. Vladimir asked with an eager look on his face.
Unlike the domestic military, China has been widely used in the field of the kind of engine front-mounted pointed military vehicles. this
The 6X6 military all-wheel drive heavy-duty trucks are all flat-top designs. TTTL puts the engine in front of the cab ground military truck design concept. This design allows the driver to have a better field of vision. While not reducing the maximum load of the vehicle, it also effectively shortens the length of the body. This military truck ground design concept. Now it is gradually becoming popular among military truck design companies all over the world - this design concept. It has also begun to gradually spread to the field of civilian heavy-duty trucks. In 1994, the Alice Group launched the "Transformers" series of heavy-duty trucks. This design concept, which was still ahead of its time at the time, had already been used. Want to see the most important engine and chassis structure of such a flat-top car. It can only be to lift the cockpit up. This one is simple. On the ground side of the car there is a hydraulic lever specially designed for engine servicing. Just pull down this handle. It is easy to use the cockpit as a fulcrum from the front bumper. Lift up 60 degrees. The entire engine and transmission mechanism are enough for maintenance personnel to repair the vehicle.
"No problem. Charlie. Come over here. "Zhang Lan signaled that he was almost slaughtered in Qingdao, that unlucky guy." Please raise the cockpit of this car. Let's take a closer look at the structure of the car and the ground for Mr. Vladimir. ”
"It's really a classic," as the cockpit rose, Vladimir carefully watched the layout of the car's engine and gearbox, while pointing to several places and praising in his mouth, "Mercedes-Benz is Mercedes-Benz, the accumulation of a hundred years of car design concepts is really not blown, why didn't we think that this place could be arranged like this?" And this place, alas, is a problem that our Soviet military trucks have not been solving; And this place, well, not bad, nice. ”,
He finally turned his head and looked at Zhang Lan eagerly, "Little boss, can you give us a copy of this car for our truck design department, so that we can use it as a design reference for the new project of military all-wheel drive heavy-duty truck products that are currently underway?" With this car as a reference, the project of the Alice Group's military all-wheel drive heavy-duty truck designed by us can be completed at least half a year ahead of schedule, which not only can save a lot of wrongful roads in the design, but also estimate that the performance of the final designed truck can be much better than we expected. ”
"Of course, why else I'm going to let you rush over in a hurry?" Zhang Lan smiled very proudly, "But I have to tell you, this car was heavily modified by AMG and specially used to participate in the extremely bad conditions of the Dakar Rally, and the final thing you designed should not be as expensive as this car." I'll tell you, the price can't even be higher than the price of this modified Mercedes 6X6 military all-wheel drive heavy truck! ”
This is nonsense, if the price of the military all-wheel drive heavy-duty truck series developed by himself is much higher than that of Mercedes-Benz and Volvo, then who will he sell this car to? Who wants to buy it? Sell to European countries? They have never used their own products, can they rest assured? Sell to the Chinese side? With such a high price, they would rather spend money to import the same type of military heavy truck products from Mercedes-Benz or Volvo than use Alice Group's - Mercedes-Benz's military heavy truck has been tested countless times, and Alice Group's car is like a newborn baby, but it has not experienced any test.
"You can rest assured of this," Vladimir was overjoyed when he heard Zhang Lan promise to give his truck R&D and design department a design reference for the military all-wheel drive heavy-duty truck project that is now underway, "Of course I know this." Little boss, don't worry, I guarantee that the performance of the things we design will definitely not be lower than similar products of Mercedes-Benz and Volvo, but the price will definitely not exceed two-thirds of the price of their products! ”
With Vladimir's words, Zhang Lan was relieved and waved his hand, "Okay, you can pick a car and drive away, and hurry back to work." ”
"Okay," Vladimir didn't have the slightest sense of being exploited, and when he heard Zhang Lan say this, his heart was suddenly overjoyed, lest Zhang Lan regret it, and hurriedly let the driver who came with him rush into a Mercedes-Benz 6X6 military all-wheel drive heavy logistics truck of Alice's "Snow Leopard" convoy, as if there was a big wolf dog chasing after him.
As for Vladimir, he drove the small car specially allocated to him by the company and happily followed the back of the big truck back to the Alice Comprehensive Applied Science and Technology Research Institute: this guy looked at the Mercedes-Benz 6X6 all-wheel drive heavy logistics truck that originally belonged to the Alice "Snow Leopard" team in the back of his special car, as if he was looking at his lover who had just met, and the enthusiasm in his eyes seemed to be able to melt the car in front of him.
