CHAPTER 260 12 GREAT WALL WINGLE VS AMAROK
If you talk about American car culture, you have to mention pickup trucks.
But if you talk about pickup trucks, then most people can tell you with certainty that such models are not the strong point of the Germans.
And that's exactly what happened, this AMAROK pickup truck was a work that Volkswagen hastily completed in 11 years in order to improve their product line.
Speaking of this model, it can really be said that it is foolish, and there are many gimmicks.
The design concept of this car is completely based on the concept of the Volkswagen, and it can be said that there is no domineering style of American pickup trucks.
And in terms of appearance, this car uses the front face of Volkswagen's family, and it can even be said that it is the front face of the Touareg, and it has lost more than a chip in appearance.
One of the few highlights of this car is the chassis and four-wheel drive system he configures, and the reason why Jin Xiaoqiang chose this model to copycat is entirely because of these two key points.
To design this car, then it is necessary to figure out who he is consuming, in the United States, Canada, and Australia, which are vast and sparsely populated, and have a large number of farmers in the countryside, and the favorite model of these farmers is, of course, this multi-functional pickup truck model that can not only off-road, but also pull goods.
But after all, not every farmer is rich, and not all people can afford Ford's F series pickups, as well as Qoros P6 pickups, so this ordinary pickup came into being in Jin Xiaoqiang's mind.
The design concept of this car, in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, is the same as Volkswagen, just enough, the configuration of the 2.0TDI diesel engine, plus a 6-speed manual transmission, is not without the taste of testing the water.
And with the increase of highways in the Celestial Empire, the major road companies also need such a pickup truck that is enough, if it is great, the engine can be upgraded to 2.4 or 3.0 configuration, but this also depends on the performance of this car in the market in the future.
However, since the shape of this car is not a bright spot in the first place, Jin Xiaoqiang does not plan to copy the shape of this car, he intends to use the shape of the latest generation of Fengjun pickup truck exhibited by Great Wall at the 2012 auto show.
In fact, if you want to talk about the shape of this car, many people say that the shape of this car is copied from the Volkswagen's AMAROK, but in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, it doesn't matter whether it is plagiarized or not, it is precisely because of the shortcomings of the AMAROK in the original appearance, and the corresponding changes made by the Great Wall designers have given the Great Wall pickup a smaller and fresher style.
At that time, the pickup truck of the Great Wall leather brand had dominated the pickup market of the Celestial Empire for thirteen years, although in terms of engine and chassis technology, there may be some gaps compared with old brands like Volkswagen, but it is actually long
The city's pickup trucks are not weak, you must know that the first car company to go out of the Celestial Empire is also the Great Wall, and the best they bought overseas is also this Great Wall Wingle pickup, and the main dumping ground for this car is Australia!
In Australia and New Zealand, the leather brands that have dominated the pickup position for many years have always been Toyota's Hilux, Mitsubishi's TRITON, and Isuzu's T series.
Now if Jin Xiaoqiang wants to challenge so many companies in the low-end price pickup truck, then he must make new ideas.
In the eyes of those farmers, whether a pickup truck is good or not depends mainly on whether it can save fuel and whether it is resistant to operation.
And Jin Xiaoqiang chose Volkswagen's AMAROK to come to the cottage, it is because the chassis of this car is very durable, as for the engine, it is not necessary, to be honest, the current engine design and production level of Huayang Power is not much weaker than Volkswagen!
And if the shape of the Great Wall Wingle of 12 models is adopted, then it will add a lot of bright color to this pickup truck, you must know that in this era when the appearance of pickup trucks is prevalent in silly and simple, such a pickup truck with a small and fresh shape once it is launched on the market, then it will definitely give those people who need pickup trucks, bring a great shock.
After all, everyone has a love for beauty, and the factor of whether a car sells well depends largely on whether his appearance is beautiful, even for those foreign farmers who like to pull radishes and shear sheep in the mud, Jin Xiaoqiang also believes that they also have a certain aesthetic.
Jin Xiaoqiang believes that as long as this car is made, it will definitely become a Great Wall pickup truck and a big rival in the Celestial Empire market. …,
Although at first, he was still a little worried, but when he saw the outline design of the pickup truck that he had drawn, which originally belonged to the Great Wall Fengjun 5, his worries immediately disappeared.
Compared with the rugged pickup trucks that are popular on the market now, the shape of this pickup truck is too flattering and fresh.
The length of the rear bucket of 1.68 meters, coupled with the site of AMAROK, and the 2.0TDI diesel engine specially developed by Huayang Power for this pickup truck, the load capacity of this car has reached 1.6 tons, and there is a decoupling in the back, and the maximum towing capacity of decoupling has reached 3.2 tons.
This handsome guy with a small and fresh appearance, don't look at the appearance is very delicate, but he is an out-and-out strong man, with such a load capacity and towing ability, this car can definitely dominate the same type of car!
When Jin Xiaoqiang himself saw such powerful data, he already had a preliminary concept in his mind, that is, this car can't be wrong!
At the moment he only plans to produce a basic model of this car, and if this basic pickup truck is to become a big hit in the market, then he will immediately start expanding the lineup.
When the time comes, 2.4TDI, 2.8TDI, 3.5TDI, and even the 5.6TDI of the eight-cylinder configuration may follow.
However, this car does not need a physical car at present, because it is a little too late in time, and secondly, there is no need for a physical car at present, they just need to take the design drawings and then go to Liu Yonghao to get a batch number.
After all, such a tool car will not be included in the procurement list of official cars, although the road administration, or what the Agricultural Bureau, the Animal Husbandry Bureau is also a state unit that eats iron rice bowls, but such a tool car, they can completely purchase according to their own preferences.
Jin Xiaoqiang believes that as long as his car is launched on the market, it will definitely be very popular in these systems, after all, this car can be said to be the best in China in terms of appearance and built-in power system, and the price will not be too expensive!
After finishing the things in hand, Jin Xiaoqiang took Wang Jiao to set up a local public relations team and went to Jinglu City.
This time, the main purpose is to open up the joints of the Central Office of the Central Committee, so that those in charge will put their Qoros series models into the purchase list of official cars.
Since Wang Jiao served as the general manager of Huayang Power for more than two years, he has often run to Beijing City, and there are many acquaintances in Beijing City, and his relationship network can be regarded as open.
Moreover, there is also a related Zhang Chi in Jinglu City to help, so he has already inquired about some of the key people of the public relations this time, and the team brought to Beijing Langcheng this time has already divided their public relations goals.
As long as they land in Jinglu City, then everyone will immediately follow the original division of labor, but look for their own goals, public relations, of course, the means of public relations, just like the current mainstream, what you like, we will send you what!
Although Jin Xiaoqiang is also disgusted by this kind of behavior, but after all, this is the Celestial Empire, this is the reality, if you want to give gifts, you can do things with the government department, even if you are the king of heaven, it will also let you taste what is called the king of Hades, and the little ghost is difficult.
Huayang Power is a well-known automobile manufacturing enterprise in China, and has appeared on the news express program of the imperial court station several times, and many important leaders have visited their enterprises.
Even at the national level, Jin Xiaoqiang has met several times, such as the current prime minister, who visited their auto show site on the day of last year's Beijing City Auto Show and said a lot of words of encouragement to him.
Of course, Jin Xiaoqiang will not his tail just because he has met this big man once, he knows that the prime minister can come that day completely because of the face of the old Du family.
Maybe after that, people have forgotten about themselves!
So this time when I came to Beijing City for public relations, others had other people's tasks, and Jin Xiaoqiang also had his own tasks, and his task was to make sure that Lao Du's family was brought down for public relations.
In Jin Xiaoqiang's view, whether Qoros can be on the list of official car purchases this time depends on whether the old Du family can help or not. …,
The first thing I did when I came to Jinglu City was, of course, to visit Liu Yonghao, who was also one of the key figures in Jin Xiaoqiang's public relations this time, but Jin Xiaoqiang believed that with the relationship between his family and Liu Yonghao, as well as the strength of Huayang Power, Uncle Liu would definitely help him in this matter.
Sure enough, in the villa of Liu Yonghao's family, after meeting with Liu Yonghao's family for dinner, Jin Xiaoqiang and Liu Yonghao entered the study, and proposed his purpose of entering Beijing to Liu Yonghao in person.
After Liu Yonghao listened to Jin Xiaoqiang's request, he neither showed surprise nor displeasure, his appearance was thoughtful, which made Jin Xiaoqiang, who was sitting opposite, a little confused.
Liu Yonghao sat behind the desk in the study for a while, and then turned his head and said to Jin Xiaoqiang.
"Xiaoqiang, the development of your Huayang Power, to be honest, is really beyond my expectations, in just two years, it has developed to the point where it is today, which cannot but be said to be a miracle. Of course, you're the god
There is no doubt about the role played by the designer, I have seen the model report of your current Qoros series, and this car has passed the audit of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and there is no problem at all. You want to get the four cars of the Qoros series on board
I also support the government's procurement list, but ......"
In fact, Jin Xiaoqiang has long known that Liu Yonghao said here, and there will definitely be a turning point.
"But what? Uncle Liu, just say it! ”
Liu Yonghao heard Jin Xiaoqiang's question, turned his head and glanced at Jin Xiaoqiang lightly, and then said to him.
"Xiaoqiang, you also have to know that the procurement of this official car is not up to our Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, although I support your idea, but this matter needs to be approved by the Central Office of the Central Committee, and the relationship between the people over there and the FAW in Changchun is very good. You get the idea, right? ”
Liu Yonghao's words told Jin Xiaoqiang very directly, I am afraid that their public relations will be very difficult this time, because although you Jin Xiaoqiang have a relationship here, I Liu Yonghao can also help you, but the Changchun gang has a better relationship with the people in the Central Office of the Central Committee.
Whether your car can appear on the procurement list and be sent to a few bigwigs for approval depends on the pen of the comrades in the general office.
After Jin Xiaoqiang heard this, his brows suddenly wrinkled, and when they came, they estimated the difficulty enough, although they had figured out the preferences of many key people, but it seemed that Liu Yonghao was talking to himself now!
It seems that the difficulty of whether he can complete this task this time is not only to public relations, but also to deal with the people of Changchun FAW!
So who is the key person in this?
"Uncle Liu, then in this office, we need ......"
"What you need to pay attention to is a person named Zhang Junze, this person is the key, and many documents submitted to important leaders for approval have to go through his hands."
Liu Yonghao frowned slightly, and a few fingers gently tapped the table of the executive table rhythmically, and said to Jin Xiaoqiang, looking at his expression, Jin Xiaoqiang knew that it seemed that this Zhang Junze seemed to be very difficult.
"He is a deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China, and his grandfather is also an old Ge Lu."
Liu Yonghao followed up on what he had just said and lightly clicked Jin Xiaoqiang's words, Jin Xiaoqiang heard this, and he already understood, it seems that this Zhang Junze is a red second generation, and it seems that he is still a promising red second generation.
However, since they have come, Qoros has also been developed step by step, then they are ready to send it, if they want Qoros to quickly gain a foothold in the Celestial Empire and open up the mid-to-high-end market situation, then they must be on the list of official car purchases.
Although this Zhang Junze sounds like a very difficult bone to gnaw, then he can only have no hesitation on his side!
When he came out of Liu Yonghao's house and returned to the hotel where he stayed that night, Jin Xiaoqiang immediately brought Wang Jiao and Zhang Chi to give me a task to find out the details of this Zhang Junze.
After finishing the order, he took out the phone and called Ouyang Fenqiang again.
"Brother Qiang, it's me Xiaoqiang, haha, I'll ask you about personal ......." )
