Ferruccio called a young worker of twenty-five or sixteen years old and asked him to give Lin Qiangsheng a detailed explanation, after all, the old man was old and his memory was a little difficult to keep up.

The young worker looked at the valve cover in Lin Qiangsheng's hand and thought for a while, he first greeted Lin Qiangsheng and then said, "Hello sir, this is SMC sheet molding compound. SMC composite material, a kind of FRP, it has superior electrical properties, corrosion resistance, light weight, and it has the advantages of easy engineering design, flexibility, etc., its mechanical properties can be comparable to some metal materials, so SMC is widely used in transportation vehicles, construction, electronics/electrical and other industries. ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and asked the young worker: "This SMC valve cover is much lighter than the metal valve cover, can it still be used on fenders, bumpers, and interior panels?" ”

"Yes, this is also a trend in the development of automotive materials in the future!" The young worker nodded.

Then the young man looked at Lin Qiangsheng's eyes and said: "As the world's top supercar, Lamborghini is bound to use a large number of composite materials in the future, from the front to the rear, from the interior parts to the exterior parts, from the body panels on the A-class surface to the structural assembly; From the body to the valve cover and oil pan; At present, major companies such as GM, Ford, and Toyota are conducting research on the substitution of composite materials for components such as drive shafts and leaf springs. Composite materials have shown incomparable advantages in the application of various automotive parts, it has lower mold investment costs, lower vehicle weight, higher design freedom and higher component integration, etc., which have prompted various automotive brands to adopt more composite materials! Mr. I ask the company to increase its research on composite materials so that Lamborghini does not lag behind other car companies! ”

"The company will increase investment in the research and development of composite materials!" Lin Qiangsheng looked at the young worker who was looking forward to it, nodded heavily, and said.

The world's famous automobile companies are increasing the development of new automotive materials, it seems that their capital investment in this area can not be slack!

At the same time, he thought of the backwardness of China's national automobile industry in the previous life. Many people lament that China can't make good cars and can't make good engines, in fact, if everyone uses cast iron, aluminum alloy and other materials, China's ability is not backward, but in the research and development and application of new materials, China has always followed behind foreigners!

When foreigners have used these advanced materials, we can only use imported goods, even if we have developed them, we have to pay expensive patent fees to foreign countries!

Another domestic R & D level is backward, the product standards are low, and the alternative materials used by foreign goods after localization are several grades lower than the original, and a spare part is how many low-grade localized parts on the car are so low. The combination of these poor parts greatly reduces the performance of the car, and its impact on quality is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two!

Lin Qiangsheng thought of acquiring a supercar company, although the investment was larger, to engage in technology research and development, to support Lamborghini's motorsports brand management, and so on. But the benefits that Lamborghini brought him were also enormous!

The research laboratory cooperating with Lamborghini has received investment from Lin Johnson & Johnson, and the scientific research results they have developed, especially the new materials, have been directly pocketed by Lin Qiangsheng and become his patented technology, and these R&D investments will continue!

Moreover, Modena, as the world's famous sports car capital, has many laboratories engaged in research and development around sports cars. In particular, the University of Modena is surrounded by a number of laboratories. Some of these laboratories are for Ferrari and some for Maserati.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiangsheng turned his head to Ferruccio and asked, "Do you know anyone at the University of Modena, I want to establish a Lamborghini laboratory in this university!" ”

Ferruccio was amazed, "You're going to invest in their labs?" Lamborghini cooperates with them, and the professors will surely go crazy with joy! ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "No, it's not to invest in them, but to invest in ourselves!" ”

The full name of the University of Modena is Modena. Reggio. The University of Emilia is a public university directly under the Italian Ministry of Education. The headquarters are located in Modena, Italy, with a branch in Reggio Emilia, both of which are part of the Turin region.

The University of Modena was founded in 1175. The school has a history of more than 800 years! It was founded during the so-called dark medieval period of Europe. (Now that this assertion has been proven wrong by archaeology and research, the Dark Middle Ages were not so dark.) The Renaissance was not so bright, and the revival was not so sudden. Before the Italian Renaissance, there was a similar movement in Europe, even if it was not as widespread. Nowadays, European history no longer mentions the term "dark Middle Ages", but medieval European history. But there are still a lot of people in China who take the erroneous assertions of early European Romanticism as the truth, and everyone is bad anyway, and ours is good. ）

The University of Modena is one of the earliest universities in Italy, with more than 20,000 students, including about 5,000 graduate students and 2,400 international students. There are more than 800 professors and more than 2,000 associate professors, lecturers and researchers.

In addition, this university and the domestic on. Several colleges and universities in the sea are very closely connected. There are a lot of international students at several universities in the sea. On the surface, Modena is a small city with a population of 180,000, and an ordinary town in the country has a larger population than Modena, but the city's population includes one-ninth university students, as well as so many workers in the automobile industry and employees of sports car companies, so the quality of the city's population is very high, no wonder it is called the safest tourist destination in Italy!

Ferruccio tilted his head and said indifferently, "You're the boss, just tell me what you want to do." I'm going to call a couple of older guys I know in college, wait a minute! ”

Although Ferruccio was very indifferent, when he turned his head, his expression immediately stopped, and the old man couldn't help but smile happily.

Partnering with a university is a treat that only the world's largest companies have! Ferrari also thought about a joint laboratory with the University of Modena, but in the end they found that working with the university was far less financially free than investing in a few labs. Private labs can be closed at any time, but joint labs within universities are not closed.

Lin Qiangsheng turned his head to look at the young worker and said: "Thank you for your introduction, you are right, composite materials are indeed very important, and Lamborghini will work harder in this regard!" ”

The young worker smiled and nodded, he hesitated for a moment and then plucked up the courage to say to Lin Qiangsheng: "Sir, I think carbon fiber will be the most important material in the future car manufacturing technology, the cutting-edge field of composite materials!" Lamborghini should be the first to use carbon fiber materials in the body, which will help Lamborghini gain more reputation! ”

"Oh?" Lin Qiangsheng handed the valve cover to the assembler, he turned his head and looked at the shorter young man in front of him seriously, and asked with interest, "What's your name?" Listen to your Italian is not very proficient, where are you from? ”

Hearing the boss ask his name and origin, the young man's face was obviously excited and he said, "Sir, my name is Olacio. Pagani! Previously, I had done some F3 car body styling work in Argentina, and my users were GM, Toyota, etc., and I am an Argentine! ”

"Oh, another one!" Lin Qiangsheng sighed helplessly, there are so many Argentines in supercars and racing cars, and there are many practitioners in this country!

"Pagani? What a familiar name! The son of Pagani wind, a supercar worth 60 million yuan! Lin Qiangsheng reacted immediately, and he looked at the young man in front of him who was not tall and had thick hair.

This person turned out to be Pagani, the founder of Pagani sports car company, why did he work as an assembly worker in Lamborghini at this time in 82, and he was so young!

Lin Qiangsheng shook hands with Pagani and asked, "Pagani, how long have you been working at Lamborghini?" ”

Pagani replied: "Sir, it didn't take long for me to come to Modena under the guidance of a senior racing driver, and then to work at Lamborghini!" ”

"Oh? Have you ever designed an F3 car and then worked as an assembler at Lamborghini? Lin Qiangsheng asked with a smile.

Pagani blushed a little and said, "I want to know the whole process of manufacturing top sports cars, I want to set up my own sports car studio and create my own brand!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at the somewhat immature young Pagani, he patted Pagani's shoulder arrogantly and said: "The young man has a future, when you plan to establish your own studio, you must tell me, I will invest in you!" ”

"Really? Mr! Great, I'll do my best! Pagani was very excited to hear the boss say that.

Pagani only came to Lamborghini this spring, starting as a front-line worker, with the goal of learning all the mysteries of the world's best sports cars. He dreams of one day being able to build a supercar brand with his own hands, and now with the promise of this wealthy Oriental boss, it seems that he is not far from his dream!

Pagani came to Modena instead of Ferrari or Maserati, he went straight to the best sports car company in his mind, Lamborghini. In his heart, Lamborghini is the world's top sports car company, and Lamborghini is like its logo, like an angry bull, always challenging one limit after another!

Although it is rumored that the supercar company was in a bad financial situation in the past few years, with Ferruccio as a stubborn founder who refused to admit defeat, Pagani was not worried about Lamborghini's business situation at all. After arriving here, he did not disappoint, the best workers and the best production technology here will definitely bring him closer to his dream, and now it is so! (To be continued......)
