Chapter 259: New Boulevard
In fact, compared to this boulevard, Jin Xiaoqiang feels that the Qoros 8 with the shape of the new LaCrosse is enough for the procurement standard of official cars.
However, considering the current standard of national official cars, there is no price and displacement as in the next few years, and the current official lords are very expensive, and they just like to ride in big cars.
Especially the provincial and ministerial-level senior officials, the Audi they make, it must be an L added to the back, if it is not a luxury type, then it is obviously sorry for the identity of others.
They don't care what powertrain, what engine is awesome and so on, what people care about is identity and status, when they are traveling, if their car can't show their identity, people disdain.
So thinking about coming, thinking about going, Jin Xiaoqiang still decided to bring out this boulevard cottage.
In the last life, this boulevard can be said to be beaten by Audi in the Celestial Empire market, the high-end competition is not Audi, and the mid-range competition is not Camry and Accord.
Of course, this is mainly related to the large displacement of American cars and the consumption of fuel, which is easy to give people the impression of oil tigers.
And in fact, the boulevard before 2010, although it also has an obvious Buick family atmosphere, but the triangular arrangement of sluggish triangular lights, as well as the mediocre interior, has reduced a lot of points to this car.
Although it is not included in the procurement list of official cars, it is really unpleasant in appearance, which has been hated by many senior government officials.
So even if it was included in the official car purchase list, but the government officials who purchased this car were very few, until 10 years later, Buick launched the 10th version of the new boulevard, changing the previous silly headlights, which made the whole model a lot more pleasing to the eye.
But before the helplessness, the impression left was too bad, and Audi has firmly stood on the procurement system of official cars, so although these 10 boulevards are much better than before, the sales in the Celestial Empire have not been talked about much.
Shanzhai can be said to be a very failed model in the previous life, in fact, the pressure on Jin Xiaoqiang's heart is also quite large.
You must know that even after this car, the appearance is much more chic and atmospheric, but the sales have not been able to rise, which has a lot to do with the fact that they lost Audi's subordinates before.
Once people occupy a leading position in the market, you want to overturn people off the horse, where is it so easy, so although this time Jin Xiaoqiang's cottage is a 10-style boulevard, and there are no so many defects in appearance, but his heart is still uneasy.
This car may not be paid for by consumers in the mid-to-high-end market, but Jin Xiaoqiang's idea is government procurement.
As long as this car can be included in the procurement list, as long as there is a local government to purchase this car, then no matter how much is purchased, it will have a more or less exemplary effect.
And the Celestial Empire is an official-based society, and the situation of upward and downward effects is very serious, once there is really a provincial and ministerial-level unit that purchases this car, then there will definitely be people below who purchase Qoros models.
Even if you don't purchase this car, then you will purchase Qoros 8 or Qoros 6, and the reason why you copy this car, in fact, the main purpose is just to demonstrate and take the lead.
You must know that although the number of government procurement cars and the sales of family cars on the market are not comparable at all, the procurement title of government cars has a considerable exemplary effect on other people buying cars.
How did Audi gain a firm foothold in the Celestial Empire market, and is it not the exemplary role of government procurement?
Therefore, when copycat such a car, Jin Xiaoqiang's idea is not the sales of this car in the market, but the number of government cars purchased, as long as there are government officials who buy it, then it will definitely play a certain leading role.
Even if you don't buy this car well, you can buy Qoros 6 and Qoros 8 well!
And in fact, this car has a problem with the appearance, and the others are not useless, with a length of nearly 5.2 meters, giving this car a golden ratio of 50:50 front and rear loads.
This makes this car have strong stability and handling when cornering at high speeds and driving at high speeds.
And this car also has his unique ability, that is, his super body strength, laser welded octahedral ultra-high strength front longitudinal beam is twice the strength of ordinary models. …,
The high-strength steel body and the integrated laser welding method greatly improve the safety performance of the whole vehicle.
The rest of the comfortable and luxurious configuration in the car, not to mention, what eight-way adjustable massage seats, what six-way adjustable pillows, the back 7-inch LCD screen, etc., all show a luxurious atmosphere.
Therefore, this car, in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, is definitely a perfect match for the current identity of provincial and ministerial-level officials!
As long as the provincial and ministerial-level officials can pay for this car, will the units below still pretend to be blind with their eyes open?
Even if they don't buy this car, then there are Qoros 8 and Qoros 6 for them to choose from.
And the most important thing is that Jin Xiaoqiang quietly entrusted Naruto Shenxing to get a complete set of laser welding equipment from Japan, you must know that these equipment have not yet been introduced to the Celestial Empire.
Even if it can be introduced in other ways, the products that have been introduced for decades are still generations behind the current ones.
Jin Xiaoqiang through smuggling, the introduction of this complete set of laser welding equipment, is the current world's top laser welding equipment, in order to get such a set of equipment, Jin Xiaoqiang did not spend a lot of money, the whole cost of almost 100 million yuan.
From laser mold welding machine, to automatic laser welding machine, laser spot welding machine, to the most advanced fiber transmission laser welding machine, Jin Xiaoqiang has made a whole series of products.
The reason why I didn't get much this time is because firstly, these machines are not very easy to do even in Japan, and secondly, in a few years, this thing will not be blocked on a large scale, with the vigorous development of the automotive industry in the Celestial Empire, those foreigners have also allowed these laser welding machines to flow into the Celestial Empire, after all, this will bring them more benefits.
With these welding machines, Jin Xiaoqiang of course wants to try the integrated molding technology, after all, the body of another Enclage he developed also needs this kind of laser welding to be integrally formed.
handed over the drawings to Wuyun Gaowa, and asked her laboratory to quickly make a car model, don't ask the rest, there are many apprentices on Wuyun's side now, and the efficiency of the work has been greatly improved than before.
And this time I just want a sample car, as long as the appearance is passable, so this time it is also a concentration of resources to do things, just ten days of effort, such a car will be completed.
The core of the car is of course equipped with the most advanced ECOBOOST+POWERSHFIT powertrain of Huayang Power, which is much stronger than the original 3.6L all-aluminum ECOTEC engine on the boulevard.
DON'T LOOK AT THE CURRENT V6 ECOBOOST ENGINE IS ONLY SET AT 3.2LITERS, BUT THIS POWERTRAIN, WHICH WAS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR LEADERSHIP, CAN PROVIDE 280 HP
EQUIPPED WITH HUAYANG POWERSHIFT'S DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, THIS CAR CAN REALIZE THE ACCELERATION FROM 0-100KM/H IN ONLY 6.9 SECONDS, WHICH IS NEARLY ONE SECOND FASTER THAN THE ACCELERATION OF THE ORIGINAL MODEL
time.
These are all buying points, and the reason why I am in such a hurry to get this car out this time is also to take this car to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in Beijing to report the approval number.
Now relying on the big tree of Liu Yonghao, any product of Huayang Power, if you want to get a batch number from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it is a piece of cake.
As long as the batch number is obtained, then this car can officially join the Qoros family, and then be unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in April.
After it was unveiled at the auto show, Jin Xiaoqiang didn't believe that such a purely domestic car could not attract the attention of the Chinese people, especially the officials.
As for the other pickup truck, it is also for civil servants.
However, this AMAROK pickup truck, which originated from Volkswagen's launch in 11, is certainly not for high-ranking officials, but for provincial and municipal road administration, agricultural bureaus, animal husbandry bureaus, traffic management, or civil servants who often need to run construction sites.
At present, there are not many types of pickup trucks in the Celestial Empire market, and there are so many car factories in Jiangnan that are making pickup trucks, and the best performance in this is estimated to be the Great Wall.
The reason why Jin Xiaoqiang made this pickup truck was not to compete with the Great Wall, but to meet the needs of low-level civil servants in China, and it was also prepared for export.
Before this, he copied Ford's Raptor F-150, but everyone also knows that the model is very big and domineering, but the price is also very large and domineering, and not everyone can afford it.
The ordinary pickup truck is not, you must know that there are quite a lot of places influenced by the Americans in these years, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other rich countries, their spending power is also considerable, and their similar living habits to the Americans, so that pickup trucks are quite popular in these countries.
Especially in Australia, Jin Xiaoqiang has just returned from Australia, where he has experienced the local car culture firsthand.
The best ones to buy there are Japanese cars, and then the Holden brand belongs to the country, which belongs to General Motors, as for European cars, Volkswagen, Audi and the like are rare, the rich only recognize Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and other German cars have to stand aside, although there are supporters, but the overall sales are still not very good.
And this trip to Australia can be regarded as allowing Jin Xiaoqiang to see the love of these Australian kangaroos for pickup trucks, so he developed a civilian pickup truck, and after returning from Australia, Jin Xiaoqiang has already started to work
