Chapter 536: You're the One Who Bullies

"This car, we are going to use it to participate in the World Rally Championship in the future," Zhang Lan said to Agatta, "so the research task on your shoulders is not light." ”

After a pause, Zhang Lan said, "Well, let's divide this car into two versions according to performance, the first is the high-performance version, this is what we will use in the World Rally Championship in the future, this model is set for hatchbacks, that is, there are two versions of the hatchback, one is a normal version, and the other is a high-performance version." As for the sedan, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, just a regular version. ”

Belch? This task? Agata listened with a confused expression: what the hell is going on?

Looking at Agata with a confused face, Zhang Lan had to continue to explain to him, "The ordinary version we just talked about, well, the ordinary version of the car is similar to the high-performance version in appearance, but the performance is not so high, as long as it can meet the daily needs, and then drive it with the feeling of a sports car, for example, when you step on the accelerator to accelerate, it is a little faster, and it has a strong sense of pushing back; When cornering, you need to be more agile, and the chassis should be solid, not like a Japanese car, and the body creaks and rattles when you turn sharply. In short, it is necessary to ensure that it has the appearance and partial performance of a high-performance car, but also to ensure that the price is not too high. \///\\ But it should be different from the high-performance version, for example, some unique small details on the high-performance version, and so on on the normal version. If you still don't know, you can refer to the difference between Mitsubishi's regular version of the Laner and the high-performance version of the Lanerevoluion, and after reading how the little Japanese do it, you will know how you should do it. ”

Zhang Lan finished these words in one breath and let out a sigh of relief. Hurry up and get some water to drink: my throat is so dry that it's going to smoke.

"To what extent do we want to control this cost?" Seeing Zhang Lan's little confusion, he didn't seem to understand what he meant. Agata hurriedly added, "It's the cost of the ordinary car you said the little boss." ”

"Oh, this one." Zhang Lan pondered for a while, remembering that the price of the Ford Focus back then was only between 1120,000 and 140,000. After deducting the dealer's profit, the cost is about 60,000 to 70,000. Now the cost of these cars in my own company is basically maintained at this level, but it is a little higher, and finally nodded, "The cost of the ordinary version can be maintained at the cost of our current cars." \///\\”

Heard Zhang Lan say this. Agata breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that his little boss, who had always been known for his whimsical whimsy, would come up with something. The cost of the resulting stuff is unaffordable: the price factor is quite sensitive compared to such a small car.

The cost of about 60,000 yuan is not high, and Agata has full confidence in the design plan that Zhang Lan gave him. "That's right," Zhang Lan suddenly remembered one thing, "the ordinary version of the engine can use a 2000CC naturally aspirated engine, but the high-performance version of the engine, although it also uses a 2000CC displacement engine, but in addition to the engine material is made of our company's unique high-performance materials, we must also use our company's unique gasoline in-cylinder direct injection technology." It is necessary to ensure that the high-performance model of the car is far superior to the ordinary 2000cc engine in terms of power and torque. In terms of transmission, the automatic transmission can be fitted to the regular version of the car. But the high-performance six-speed manual gearbox is sure to be a special accessory for the high-performance version. \\In addition, it is important to ensure that this engine and the whole car have a deep potential for modification, so that he can cope with the fierce conditions of the World Rally Championship, how about it, is there a problem? ”

"I'm tempted to say there's a problem, but is it useful?" Agata smiled wryly, "There is a limited capacity of one person for this work, so I need the assistance of both Cosworth and the Racing Design Center, otherwise I can't do the work, and I also need a design team led by me to complete this task." ”

"No problem!" Zhang Lan smiled, "The notice of letting their two departments assist you will be able to send it to them soon, and I suggest you start forming your own team in the past few days." After a pause, Zhang Lan added, "Remember, you don't have much time, only half a year, and this half year includes the completion of two versions of the vehicle manufacturing, and the matching of two engines and gearboxes with different performances." and subsequent vehicle testing. ”

"Is it only half a year?" Hearing Zhang Lan say this, Agata suddenly fell to the ground and twitched, feeling very much like he suddenly had epilepsy.

"Don't look like you're going to die," Zhang Lan scolded with a smile, "The 2000CC engine and the six-speed high-performance manual transmission are available in the company, and you can use them directly." \\\\ All I want you to do is the design of the engine, the chassis, the exterior and the interior, the design of the engine seems difficult, but isn't there Cosworth to help you? Isn't there a team of engineers from the Racing Design and Development Center to help you in the design of the chassis? With so many powerful conditions and so many assistants, if you can't complete this work within half a year, I still think your ability is worthy of the company's trust. ”

Yes, complaining to the boss did not complain, but was criticized by the boss, and Agata began to busy himself with his own affairs - in the next half a year, the days will not be so leisurely, sure enough, as the book says, capitalists are vampires, well, vampires give a lot of benefits.

After explaining the research on the models participating in the German Touring Car Masters, the models participating in the World Rally Championship and the ChmpCar WorldSeries racing cars, plus the Dakar Rally, which is about to start in more than a month, Zhang Lan is in a happy mood: two years, as long as there are two more years, it is the time for Alice Group to shine in the world's automotive field, and then Alice Group will not only be a leading automobile manufacturer in China, but will also be able to gradually grow into a car manufacturer that can compete with General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota and Volkswagen and other internationally famous automobile giants are world-class automobile manufacturers. \\ I'm really looking forward to this day.

October and November are a paradise for all financial speculators in the world, in this short period of two months, the entire financial crisis that began in Southeast Asia gradually began to affect the United States and Europe, and Japan, South Korea and Taiwan in Asia are even more suffering, among them, especially the unlucky Japan, under the secret promotion of the Alice Group, the Japanese economy, which has been in a sluggish state since the signing of the "Plaza Accord", has been devastated by Soros and his behind-the-scenes boss, Alice Group, To add insult to injury. As for whether or not the Japanese economy can revive its vigor in the 80s, Zhang Lan's view is: After the "Plaza Accord" and the current Southeast Asian financial crisis, and the hands and feet that he can do in the Japanese economy, at least within 20 years, it is very suspenseful! ,

In October, compared with the Japanese stock market, which has only fallen by 4.4 percent in history, because the Alice Group has secretly made waves in it, it has fallen by an unprecedented 5.5 percent, which means that the value of the entire Japanese stock market, which is worth more than one trillion dollars, has shrunk by 5.5 percent, of which nearly 10 billion dollars of wealth has fallen into the pockets of the Alice Group -- if it were not for the fear that the danger of its own leakage would be too great, it adopted a relatively conservative strategy. The Alice Group will get more money from the Japanese financial market.

South Korea, Malaysia and Thailand suffered worse than Japan, just because following Zhang Lan's opinion - because Zhang Lan just looked at the Koryo stick and the little Japanese devil is not pleasing to the eye - the Alice Group put most of its energy and financial resources on the financial markets of Japan and South Korea, the two most developed countries in Asia, for Japan and South Korea, the result this time is also disastrous, in Japan and South Korea, because of the overnight bankruptcy led to bankruptcy, the number of people who can't accept this fact and choose to commit suicide is much more than in history, As a result, Thailand and Malaysia have suffered slightly less – and not much, of course, than they have historically suffered.

If October was an aperitif before the start of the feast, then in November, the real Manchu-Han feast began: in late November, the South Korean currency market and stock market, which had been devastated by the Quantum Fund of Alice Group and Soros, fell in turn, and by the end of November, the exchange rate of the Korean Wook against the dollar fell by 30 percent. South Korea's foreign exchange market is not doing well, and South Korea's stock market is not much better, and at this feast of carving-up, the guests waved their bloodshot knives and forks in their hands, and the Korean stock market fell by more than 20 percent.

At the same time, Japan's financial crisis has also deepened, with several banks and securities companies going bankrupt or failing in November, and the yen also falling below the 14 yen mark per dollar against the dollar, depreciating by more than 17 percent from the beginning of the year.

In the original history, the ratio of the dollar to the yen was 1:130, and the wealth that Japan had accumulated over the years was cut off by its own masters.

Counting the profits from the European and American financial markets, by the end of November, the Alice Group had swept away more than $50 billion from the Southeast Asian financial crisis that almost swept the entire world, including countless companies that were acquired and controlled by the Alice Group. For example, South Korea's Samsung and LG, Japan's Sharp, Sony, Panasonic, Fujitsu, and the shadow of Alice Group can be seen everywhere.
