Next chapter

Ibeka said without thinking about it: "Yes, as long as they pass the TOEFL test and the cultural class is not bad, there will definitely be American universities to accept them." You know that the United States welcomes outstanding talents to study abroad, and now the United States and China are engaged in a 100-person plan, hoping to recruit 100 outstanding Chinese in all aspects to study in the United States! ”

Looking at Ibekka's smiling hypocritical face, Lin Qiangsheng really wanted to ravage her again. Of course, he knows that this plan is ostensibly for the good of China, but in fact it is to attract outstanding Chinese talents to the United States, and it is best to serve the development of the United States if they do not return to China in the future.

In fact, it is true that most international students eventually become American citizens or get green cards, and there are many celebrities, such as dancer and famous talk show host Jin X.

He nodded and said, "Well, the students who go abroad also represent China in some ways!" ”

Thinking about it again, I still can't let it go like this, the Americans are going to mess around in their own academies, who knows if something will happen in the future!

Lin Qiangsheng said: "Actually, Dongxing College also has a student union, but we are a new school, and we are not yet mature, and it is okay to accept the mature student union system in the United States, but it must be approved by the school board." In addition, Americans must abide by Chinese habits in school, and they can no longer mess around in school, especially male college students in the United States, I hope they are all 'good' students, I don't want garbage! ”

Ibecca hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know what your standard is?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "Whether it is physical or mental, it must be healthy!" ”

Ibeka smiled extremely indecently and said, "This standard is really not easy for American male college students!" ”

She nodded: "Okay, your appeal, I will report it to the American College Student Association!" ”

"Shet, I've never heard of such an organization in the United States, it can't be new!" Lin Qiang sneered.

In the real room of Dongxing Automobile, Lin Qiangsheng stood outside the big glass window, watching the engineers control the CNC cutting center and cut the 1:1 car model.

Now car designers have completely adopted the metal cutting method to manufacture car models, eliminating the cumbersome clay mold modeling and greatly saving time.

Lin Johnson plans to launch a new high-end car brand at the end of the year, mainly sold to the American market, that is, Akula, Chinese translation name - Acura!

He had already registered the brand, and now was the time to take it out.

Acura, speaking of which is actually a standard American brand, this brand is registered in the United States, and in order to facilitate exports, it is planned to start construction in the United States and China at the same time. Fortunately, the new automobile production line is also more flexible and digital, which can meet the needs of the simultaneous production of many models, and it is no problem to produce multiple models on one production line at the same time.

Now, according to the drawings given by Lin Qiangsheng, the engineers used a large CNC machining center to cut out two models, and then welded, stamped, painted, matched with the engine, transmission, chassis, instruments, and various parts of the system, and the two cars will be born in the near future.

Two cars, one named legend, the Chinese name legend, is positioned as a mid-size luxury car. The other integra, known as Intergra in Chinese, is a compact sports sedan.

First of all, the Integra Intergra is equipped with a double overhead camshaft 16-valve 4-cylinder electronic fuel injection engine with DOC adaptive chassis tuning, which allows the driver to select different chassis tuning according to different needs via the Guò button.

In terms of exterior styling, the Intergra has a sense of the times compared to sports sedans such as the Golf GTI, which was popular in Europe and the United States at this time.

In fact, Johnson Lin adopted the second-generation design of the Intergra. If the Ford Taurus was the first modern sedan in the United States with a sleek curve, then the Intergra also adopted the same design scheme as the Taurus.

A little arc has been added to the front, side, and rear of the car, and the rear windshield of the car is no longer a straight slope like the Jetta, but the curvature of the glass has been increased, making the Intergra full of American style.

In addition, Lin Qiangsheng also tried the VTEC variable valve timing and valve lift electronic control system on this car.

VTEC not only has super horsepower, but also has the characteristics of environmental protection and low fuel consumption at low speeds, which appears on the same engine, just because it has a variety of cams with different angles on a camshaft, in order to calculate these angles, Dongxing Automobile has been tackling tough problems for two years!

And the Legend Legend, which is a real mid-size luxury car, seems to be like a copy of the Lexus LS400.

The front grille is still horizontal, with chrome edge strips, the headlights are more evil than the Lexus LS400, and the part near the grille is like the Chinese's Danfeng eyes, which is full of mysterious oriental atmosphere from a distance.

Unlike the Lexus LS400, which feels neutral and stable, the Legend is more lively and adds a little dynamism to the design.

At the same time, in order to enhance the sense of luxury of the legend, the rigidity of this car has also been deliberately improved, and the advantage of high rigidity is that it feels like "this car is more advanced".

The so-called rigidity is the toughness and torsion resistance of the car, the better the rigidity and sufficient strength, the stronger the anti-twisting and deformation ability of the body, and the dynamics of the body in the curve will not be smooth because of deformation, so that the handling performance is improved. The rigidity of the body also determines the results of emergency line changes and determines safety.

The rigidity of the car is more related to the comfort of the car on the bad road, which is not only related to the suspension system of the body.

The body with low rigidity is in a more obvious state of twisting and deformation all year round, and more friction and displacement will occur inside the body. Metal will fatigue, and if a car with good rigidity is used for seven or eight years, the gap between the sheet metal parts of the body will not increase by 2 mm, and the low-rigidity body may be loose everywhere.

When building a car, the engine accounts for about 30% of the cost, and the body accounts for at least 25%. When evaluating whether a car is worth the money, rigidity is an important reference criterion!

In addition, the suspension system is also the key to enhancing the sense of luxury, with the Legend using front double wishbone-rear pillar suspension, and the chassis is well-tuned for excellent straight-line stability. The use of equal-length propeller shafts also makes it difficult for the Legend to have torsional steering.

On the fly in the ointment, the Legend lacks cornering limits, but it offers a lighter driving experience that doesn't weigh heavily on the 1.3-ton car.

The car is powered by Dongxing's newly developed V6 engine, which has a 90° angle between the two rows of cylinders and is in the form of a four-valve SOHC single overhead camshaft, and a double overhead camshaft engine will be developed in the future.

For the first time, Legend used a two-stage variable-length intake manifold, or a two-stage two-stage intake manifold, which is called differently by different manufacturers, and Dongxing uses the former.

At 3500rpm (rpm/min) as the watershed, the variable intake manifold technology changes the length and cross-sectional area of the intake duct to improve combustion efficiency, making the engine smoother and more torque at low rpm and smoother and more powerful at high rpm.

The application of this new qiē technology certainly hopes to be welcomed by the market. However, the price of the Legend is not too ostentatious, and the price of its lower-spec model is comparable to that of the MarkX luxury model.

U.S. car consumers prefer novelty and believe that Legend and INTEGRA will bring them a sense of novelty. Of course, large-scale publicity, advertising and improvement of supporting services must also be adhered to.

Don't think that Americans like to pick up a board and fix their own cars, although this is often seen in American movies.

In fact, it is because of the high cost of car maintenance and repair in the United States, and the reason why Japanese cars and South Korean cars do well in the United States is because of the cheap, intimate and thoughtful after-sales service.

The European market is another phenomenon, which cannot be compared with the United States, Volkswagen, Audi and other brands have done too well and won the hearts of the people in Europe. And Europe itself is the birthplace of automobiles, and the public has a soft spot for local cars, and Japanese cars are difficult to compete with local European car companies when they reach a more perfect Europe.

Seeing that it is going to November, Lin Qiangsheng, who is tired of the wine table culture these days, relaxes in the car room and breathes fresh air. However, in the three major factories in Bincheng, Lu Dong and others, who were busy investigating, were not easy.

These three state-owned enterprises can be said to have the typical phenomenon of all state-owned enterprises in China, with aging equipment, backward technology, and large-scale degradation of employees.

The follow-up development of enterprises is weak, and there are some phenomena that do not adapt to the market economy. There is an urgent need to invest in improving equipment and technology, and there is an urgent need to change the management system and management thinking of state-owned enterprises.

Moreover, the most important thing is that it is an urgent task to immediately change the mental outlook of the workers of state-owned enterprises, raise their wages and benefits, introduce measures, encourage talents, reward the advanced, and retain skilled craftsmen.

In today's state-owned enterprises, the phenomenon of improper cadres entering the state-owned enterprises has long since disappeared. The dormitories are dilapidated, and the simple buildings that were built fairly well at the time are dwarfed by the new residential buildings that have been built in the city in recent years.

The comparison of wages, treatment, living conditions, and various realities has made the workers of state-owned enterprises no longer prosperous, and the loss in the factories has spread rapidly, which has affected the production enthusiasm of enterprises, and the rising prices and wages that have not risen for many years have also severely hit the enthusiasm of workers.

Director Lu Dong inspected a circle and found that if such an old state-owned enterprise wants to be rejuvenated and upgraded, it cannot be done without money and investment, and there is an opportunity in front of him.

After several days of thinking, he wrote an investigation report to the central authorities, and made a truthful and detailed report to the higher authorities on what he had seen and the actual situation at the grassroots level. The investigation team is anxiously waiting, but all the employees of the three major factories are in an unprecedented state of contradiction, this is a choice of fate! (To be continued.) )
