Chapter 441: Art School

Lin Xiangrong is in the office and several department heads in the factory have a meeting, since Lin Qiangsheng handed him two new model design Land Rover Defender, Range Rover at the end of last year, Lin Xiangrong began to lead all the technical staff and workers in the factory to brainstorm, they increased the number of machinery and equipment to adjust the production line, four months Binqi No. 2 branch factory production and procurement of thousands of processing equipment.

During the Spring Festival, Lin Xiangrong was still busy on the production line, he mobilized dozens of the most experienced and intelligent engineering and technical personnel and front-line workers who understand the processing technology and assembly process, and assembled ten new cars, five Land Rover Defenders and five Range Rovers in a short period of time!

On February 5, the new car was built, and many of the more than 700 employees who were still on vacation in the factory came to watch from home. The workers on all lines came, and the factory was crowded with gongs and drums, and the colorful flags were displayed for a while, which was the most lively since the establishment of the second branch of Binqi!

The new car was parked at the gate of the factory office and tried several laps on the widest field between the factory gates. The employees looked at these two models with novelty, and everyone commented that these two cars looked really tall and domineering and heroic, and they felt that the body was very large when they stood in front of them, and even the tall man was not very easy to climb on!

Previously, people looked at the Wrangler Jeep and felt imposing, but when compared with the Land Rover Defender and Range Rover, it suddenly seemed that the Wrangler was a lot shorter. The Wrangler has become even more delicate, and the tall appearance and tough lines of the new car make the whole car look domineering!

In particular, the front face of the Land Rover Defender adopts a rectangular design, which is more masculine and sweaty compared with the round light arc front face of the Wrangler, and it also makes people like it more!

The shape of the Range Rover car makes people feel bright, and everyone wonders in their hearts, how can this be an off-road vehicle in a sedan, and it is definitely not like a sedan to say that it is a car. But its front face is very much like the product of Jetta's widening and enlargement. Although it is weird, but in short, this square and handsome and angular big physique model is just something that people like to look at!

The two cars selected by Lin Johnson are the most classic designs in the British automobile industry, the Land Rover Defender has been inherited from the 50s to the present, and the Range Rover has not changed much from the most classic appearance at the beginning of the design to the third generation, and the British do not need Range Rover to change the appearance, just make it more and more luxurious!

Wearing a suit and a bow tie. With the same elegant female companion, British gentlemen can drive a Range Rover to the famous New Year's Symphony Concert, the Range Rover is completely competent, not weaker than luxury cars such as the Rolls-Royce Bentley next to it, it is known as one of the most classic designs of British automotive craftsmanship, and it is also a model of the world's automotive industry!

Lin Johnson pirated the second generation of Range Rover, the model is straight and simple, but this Range Rover has gotten rid of the first generation of simple thinking, it began to wear a gorgeous dress.

Lin Johnson has made a lot of gains in terms of craftsmanship. The manufacturing standard has been improved a lot, so the uniformity of the paint surface and the uniformity of the seams between the covering parts of this Range Rover have basically met the standards of luxury sedans, and the sense of grade is immediately obvious!

The styling Range Rover is not too ostentatious, the lines are simple and durable, the neat front face is very charming, and the agility of the floating roof bids farewell to the overly practical and imaginative era of off-road vehicles in the past.

Larger windows and a low waistline give the car a classy look, and the stacked bonnet design makes the front more square and wide. The distinctive E-pillar allows for a lot of space at the rear, and the split tailgate makes it easy to open and close the trunk without bumping. The car's many innovative designs give off-road vehicles a taste for the first time!

In order to not lose off-road performance, both cars adopt the front and rear hard axle non-load-bearing body design, they have strong off-road body panels, and the off-road ability is self-evident!

Due to the fact that the non-load-bearing body has a complete set of steel tube girders, its passive safety will be higher than that of the load-bearing body with only one iron sheet when resisting frontal, rear and side impacts, whether driving on the road or off-road sections.

Among the many urban SUVs 30 years later, the vast majority of them use the same load-bearing body structure as sedans. However, there are still quite a few off-road fanatics. Always follow the off-road vehicles with a non-load-bearing body. The non-load-bearing body structure has the advantages of high frame strength, good body twist resistance and good comfort.

In terms of power, Lin Johnson equipped the two cars with three engines, namely a 2.5LV6 turbocharged diesel engine and two upgraded V8 gasoline engines, with a displacement of 3.9L and 4.6L respectively. The Range Rover with a 4.6-litre V8 engine can reach a top speed of 200 km/h and accelerate to 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds. The transmission is available in a five-speed manual or automatic version.

However, since both cars have all-steel bodies. This allowed both cars to exceed their dead weight of 2 tonnes and reach or approach a weight of 3 tonnes. With such a heavy body, the driver and passengers inevitably have a feeling of sluggish power, especially when cornering, as if the whole body is about to be thrown out!

This may be the only thing that makes Lin Qiangsheng unsatisfied, this is a luxury version similar to the previous life that has been transformed and upgraded according to his vision, and it is naturally much heavier than the original British car! Moreover, the domestic design and manufacturing level is not as good as that of the British, and the structural redundancy is also high, which adds weight to the body!

But in any case, although the employees of Binqi No. 2 Factory do not understand what is called SUV and what is called sports utility vehicle, but they including the factory leaders understand after seeing the two real cars, these two new cars can definitely be welcomed by the Chinese automobile market by relying on such a good-looking appearance, and even they have liked the two new cars, and the big sale is not far away!

Recently, Lin Xiangrong has been busy with the preparation for the production of new models, and the most important task is to contact and mobilize the parts factories and cooperative manufacturers under the Binqi Group.

Their second automobile branch is a little different from the main factory, the production base of the main factory is huge, with more than 60,000 employees! It has a large-scale automobile industry base with a complete set of systems, which can produce almost a full set of spare parts for the whole vehicle.

Moreover, these manufacturers are almost all joint ventures with Dongxing Company, some of which are 50% owned by Binqi Group, 50% of Dongxing, and 50% of the new factories formed by other enterprises in the city, and Dongxing still holds 50% of the shares. The administration of these enterprises is under the state-owned enterprises, and most of the product quality, production and operation are the responsibility of Dongxing.

The second branch of the automobile plant has a small number of people, and the scale of the factory is not large, it has a production workshop with an annual output of 5,000 engines; A production line with an annual output of 6,000 vehicles, including stamping workshop, welding workshop, painting workshop, assembly workshop; In addition, there are several other spare parts production plants, as well as a large special vehicle modification plant. In fact, this is a car assembly factory that was very common in the previous life, and the spare parts factory produced parts were shipped here for assembly inspection to complete the vehicle assembly.

The door was open, Lin Qiangsheng knocked on the door and walked into his father's office, just in time to see Chen Yao standing aside and sticking out his tongue at him, while his father was still listening to the report of his subordinates.

Lin Qiangsheng waited for a while, and when he saw that his father had finished his work and waved his hand, everyone walked out, and some even said hello to Lin Qiangsheng, and Lin Qiangsheng also smiled and returned the salute. He treats these colleagues and subordinates of his father's unit very politely, which also makes Lin Qiangsheng's reputation in Binqi Group very good!

"Dad, the two models are about to be produced, right?" Lin Qiangsheng asked his father with a smile.

Lin Xiangrong closed his notes and said happily: "Yes, the parts factories under the group have begun to process according to the new requirements, and the spare parts of the new models will be available in a week, and our factory will soon have two new models!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng shook his head and said: "It's not two new models, but one more brand, called Land Rover!" ”

"Yes, it's a Land Rover!" Lin Xiangrong nodded happily and said, Lin Qiangsheng had also told him this before, and Lao Lin and the others were not used to the name of this brand.

He looked at Lin Qiangsheng and Chen Yao and asked, "What's the matter with you two?" Let's run over together! ”

"Father Lin, I think" Chen Yao said cautiously to Lin Xiangrong, she looked at Lin Qiangsheng beside her, suddenly hid behind him, grabbed his arm and shook it, and whispered: "Qiangsheng, you can help me say it, I don't dare!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled, and he said to his father: "Dad, I want Chen Yao to run an art school or something, teach dance and music, and you can leave her without pay, right?" ”

Lin Xiangrong's eyes widened suddenly, glanced at Lin Qiangsheng, and then looked at Chen Yao, who was hiding behind Lin Qiangsheng, and asked, "Xiao Yao is doing a good job here, why do you want her to run a school?" Besides, can the school do what it says? What should I do if I can't recruit people? ”

Lin Qiangsheng pulled Chen Yao forward and said to his father: "Dad, Chen Yao's gossip at work in the factory is always unpleasant, so just let her come out and do what she likes happily!" ”

Lin Xiangrong looked at Chen Yao, he sighed and persuaded: "Alas, there are inevitably contradictions when there are many people in the factory, and there is no need to leave without pay!" ”

Chen Yao said to Lin Xiangrong: "Dad Lin, I want to dance, I have always dreamed of being a dancer!" Although I can't be a dancer now, Johnson & Johnson has given me a chance to run a school and teach others dance at the same time, I think it's good, you just let me go! ”

Looking at Chen Yao's determined eyes, Lin Xiangrong finally smiled, he nodded slowly and said, "Alas, girl, I will promise you!" But you have to go to your parents and say it yourself, I have a position here for you, and you will come back if you want to come back in the future! ”

Chen Yao showed a big smile, she glanced at Lin Qiangsheng and then turned to Lin Xiangrong and said, "Great, thank you!" I'll go back and tell my parents, and they'll agree! (To be continued.) )
