Chapter 375: The Two Decisive Models

However, when the automobile company was busy selecting negotiators and cataloging the details of the negotiations, news suddenly came from Bincheng that made everyone even more shocked, Lin Qiangsheng, chairman of Dongxing, suddenly went to the United States, and the venue for the talks was also selected in Los Angeles, USA.

The automobile company had to contact Lin Qiangsheng directly, and he said that the LS Automotive Design and Research Institute near the University of Southern California in Los Angeles is his company's automotive technology research and development base, and it is the best choice for China to choose a model to understand the latest technology and go directly here!

Hearing this answer, the leaders of the automobile company couldn't help but nod. Indeed, domestic automobile research is still in the initial embryonic stage, what can be seen in China, if you want to really understand the world's leading technology, you still have to go to the home of foreigners!

It is also good to look at the foreign automobile research equipment by observing the automobile research institute to understand how foreigners carry out automobile development, although they may not understand the essence but look at the foreign automobile research equipment is also good, maybe they can also talk about the introduction of research equipment, which is also high-tech!

Yao Bin and some people also think that the domestic automobile industry has developed rapidly in the past two years, and the development of foreign automobile technology has become increasingly advanced. If we want to keep up with the pace of the world, but the domestic automobile research institute research unit is very short of test equipment, the automobile company has also formulated some research equipment introduction projects according to this situation, this time I happened to take the opportunity to observe the situation of foreign research institutes in the process of visiting LS automobile research institute, through this observation will definitely bring a lot of benefits to the future introduction work.

China is actively planning and negotiating to select elites to sort out the matters of going abroad, but Lin Qiangsheng is racing against time in the LS Automotive Research Institute to plan to manufacture alternative models, and the two models he came up with must be made before the domestic negotiation team comes to the United States!

There is not much time left for Lin Qiangsheng, and Li Gang of the automobile company said that several factories in China will also send people and some people from the head office. After notifying the list of personnel, the institute issued an invitation letter, and the procedures for going abroad would be completed within half a month, leaving only nearly 20 days for Lin Qiangsheng to manufacture!

As Johnson Lin has always done. Plagiarism is king, and he has never thought of surpassing those classic models that have appeared in history.

Lin Qiangsheng quickly gathered manpower, and now the LS Automobile Research Institute is strong, and it is no longer a small team of only seven or eight foreign technicians leading some young technicians in the previous two years. Now it has become a large-scale research institute with more than 40 engineers of various types and more than 200 skilled workers, and it is already a research-oriented enterprise with advanced technology and complete facilities!

It is worth noting that nearly half of the institute is made up of genuine nationals who have been transferred from China for the past two years. These people are all selected from several factories of Lin Qiangsheng, and the workers are mainly front-line workers.

After a long time of observation and comparison, Lin Qiangsheng finally found that the people who came out of his factory were more reliable, and these people themselves worked in his company for a long time, cared more about the collective, and had a greater sense of belonging and feelings!

And those who are recruited from the United States and from China, who come from China are better, but they don't identify with domestic companies, and loyalty still needs to be cultivated slowly. The Chinese Americans recruited in the United States are really a group of people who rarely integrate into this collective, don't look at the appearance of Chinese people, but two generations later, they can rarely communicate with people from China in Chinese, and these people also strangely show the feelings of conflict and rejection with the Chinese people. Their attitude towards their countrymen is more white than white!

Lin Qiangsheng felt very uninteresting, these people's minds were more active and their attitude towards domestic compatriots was also problematic, and there was no advantage over those transferred from China in terms of management and loyalty, and he gave up his expectations of these people after learning about them, and just treated them as ordinary employees.

On the other hand, even if the procedures are more complicated and take longer to transfer people from China to the United States, it is more worth looking forward to cultivating them in the long run!

The institute is already under the overall responsibility of automotive electronics engineer Cordinand, an Italian who has not only been exposed to high-end models such as Porsche Mercedes. He also spent some time at the Lamborghini factory. Lin Johnson believed that Italians have a mind and cell that pursues excellence, so the automotive research institute was eventually handed over to Cordinand.

In the field of automotive design. The Italians and Germans are more famous, and Lin Qiangsheng certainly hopes that LS Automotive Research Institute can come out of its own glory, although there is no master like Giugiaro, a genius of automobile design genius Italian design company, but it is not impossible to take a long-term development and accumulation road.

In order to simplify the work and save time, the engineers abandoned the use of clay molds and machined the exterior of the new car directly with large precision cuts. Punching, drilling, cutting and milling directly on the steel plate, so that the only time spent is the size layout design of each part of the previous model.

In order to hurry up, Lin Qiangsheng began to draw various views of the appearance of the two cars according to his memory after getting on the plane, transferred the plane once in the capital, and then took a 15-hour passenger plane to the United States.

After that, he handed over the design to the graphic design group of the Automotive Research Institute. The length, width, dimensions and wheelbase of the car's exterior were fine-tuned in the computer, and then the project was divided into several small project teams to work together. Spare parts layout group, electronics group, chassis group and powertrain group, as well as interior design group.

The two cars that Lin Qiangsheng took out use the same chassis platform, which are the two same models derived from the famous Volkswagen PQ45 platform, Audi A6 and Passat B5!

The A6 and Passat are both B5 models, except for the torsion, chisel rod, ingots beam, steel rim size, interior and appearance, their engines, arms, three-way catalysis, including the chassis structure are exactly the same. Park two A6 and Passat with the same engine in the same class, and when you open the hood, you will see that everything is the same, nothing chic. Because the two cars belong to the same B5-PQ45 platform, they have the same chassis, and the N more parts are common.

That's right, what Lin Qiangsheng wants to imitate is the existence of these two cars known as god cars in the domestic market, and they are also the two masterpieces that have established the hegemony of Audi and Volkswagen in the Chinese auto market!

With these two uncrowned king-level god cars, Lin Qiangsheng believes that the domestic negotiation team will be satisfied, no matter how advanced the test model they have seen before, as long as they see these two god cars, Lin Qiangsheng believes that they will be attracted to the unique appearance of A6 and B5.

Although these two cars are early models, the old A6 version has a similar trunk to the Passat, but its sleek front hood and roof are absolutely classic designs, while the old B5 has a more atmospheric look. Although the 83-year-old process technology does not reach the level of 2000, for example, the headlights of the two cars are ordinary combination headlights like Audi 100 to lose a lot of points, but these two models can be said to absolutely meet the Chinese appreciation standards and tastes for cars!

The time limit for development is very tight, so many components on the body are "borrowed" from other existing models, and after the design and development of the spare parts layout, the engineers immediately used UG software to cooperate with the CAD scheme to prepare for processing, and the program was entered into the program, and the appearance work in the early stage was completed in four days under the urging of Lin Qiangsheng.

The current UG software is just a prototype, and it is a product sold by UnitedComputer, the developer of the Unigraphics CAD/CAE/CAM system. In use, UG's engineers will build the system platform according to the customer's unique requirements, of course, as long as there is money for UG personnel to be stationed in the institute.

In the institute, there is a small set of automotive processing equipment, each car design company has its own factory, and after entering data to match the working environment, a large galvanized mild steel sheet is stamped and formed, and the body blank is transferred from the other end. This was the A6 model, and then the engineers selected another styling data, and the body blank of the other B5 was quickly stamped out.

The engineers carried the car shell directly to the welding line and began to make the body-in-white.

Cordinan has long been surprised by Lin Qiangsheng's high-yield and high-speed design models, but he just regrets that Lin Qiangsheng's talented car designer comes from China, which has no industrial design background. If Lin Qiangsheng was an Italian, he would have been famous in the automobile industry for his design, and becoming famous is exactly what every car designer dreams of, only in this way can he receive invitations from famous car manufacturers to participate in the design of new cars, and Lin Qiangsheng's low-key behavior after designing the car made Cordinand puzzled.

Just like now, in less than ten days, two epoch-making models have been designed and manufactured, but Lin Qiangsheng said that these two cars were prepared for the Chinese delegation and were produced in cooperation with China!

"Why?" Mr. Cordinan exclaimed, staring at Mr. Lin's office with the deep eyes of an Italian, and the two had an argument over whether to exhibit the two cars at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

"There is no reason Cordinand, these two models are for joint ventures with Chinese car companies, I don't think their appearance can be liked by the European and American car market, their Chinese style is too strong! And these two cars are too sleek compared to the current models, and I think it's hard for the market to accept such a change. Moreover, we are a car company that is not well-known, and we do not have the conditions to be accepted by car consumers! The launch of new models by large automobile manufacturers is to lead the times, while the launch of models with different design styles from those on the market by small manufacturers is not an attempt to measure their own strength! Lin Qiangsheng spread his hands and said. (To be continued......)
