Lin Qiangsheng also sent the news of the all-round cooperation with Honda back to China, and asked the company to organize people to go to Japan in the near future.

Tian Jianpeng felt very surprised, and after listening to the conditions mentioned by Mr. Lin, he was even more surprised, and felt that this project was very important.

He felt that if Lin Qiangsheng's expectations could be achieved, it would be of great help to Dongxing Group, not only affecting Dongxing's automobile industry, but also if he could make good use of this opportunity to extend Honda's experience to Dongxing Group itself, then Dongxing Group would be reborn!

Tian Jianpeng said excitedly to Lin Qiangsheng: "Mr. Lin, you have really done a great job!" Don't worry, I will organize the personnel to go to Japan immediately, and I will definitely select elite soldiers! ”

Lin Qiangsheng laughed and said: "Okay, it's better to find some people who are proficient in Japanese and have dealt with Japanese companies, and hire them to participate in the delegation to Japan!" And don't forget to inform the government so they can be prepared. Then you go to Japan to negotiate with Honda, the location is set in Tokyo, and then you will visit Honda's headquarters in Aoyama Tokyo and Honda Automobile R&D Center in Tochigi Prefecture. ”

Tian Jianpeng said in surprise: "Mr. Lin, let me lead the team?" But I've never organized such a big negotiation project, and it's a big Japanese company like Honda! Mr. Lin, I'm afraid that I have a heavy trust, do you want to think about it again? ”

Lin Qiangsheng said categorically: "I decided to let you lead the team this time, and I also value your hard work in the Dongxing Group in the past four or five years, I want to give you this opportunity, because you have never complained about the work to the company, such an opportunity will not be given to anyone, you have to complete this task well, don't live up to my expectations of you!" ”

Tian Jianpeng thought. It turned out that Mr. Lin's evaluation and expectations for him were so high, and seeing his efforts, Tian Jianpeng was extremely excited, and he said loudly: "I know, Mr. Lin!" I'll try to lead the team, and I'll go and gather people to make a negotiation plan now! ”

Lin Qiangsheng said: "Go ahead." The plan should be improved, and a timetable should be formulated for each project, and what kind of goals should be achieved, what people should be sent, and what kind of people should be received. ”

Tian Jianpeng nodded yes, and after hanging up the phone, he waved his hand happily and walked around the office twice excitedly.

This is the first time that Mr. Lin has given him such an important project, a large project completed by him alone. Cooperating with a famous company like Honda, Tian Jianpeng's mood at this time was both excited and apprehensive.

Soon, he walked out of the office in a high mood and said to the secretary: "Inform the general manager and vice president of the automobile development division to come to me for a meeting and convey Mr. Lin's instructions, immediately!" ”

"Yes, President Tian!" The secretary stood up and nodded

The nine-day New York Auto Show has come to an end. At this year's auto show, major car companies exhibited more than 10 new models. At the same time, hundreds of improved cars and facelifted models were also brought to the audience's eyes.

At this year's New York Auto Show, the most eye-catching and glamorous is the LS400 luxury car launched by Lexus Motor Company, a top-of-the-line model that gave North American audiences a taste of the third style in addition to the high-end models in Germany and the United States!

The Lexus LS400 also attracted the most media attention, and it was the most beautiful figure at the auto show. The area around the booth was always crowded with visitors.

The LS400 was compared to the other two top-of-the-line models on display, Mercedes-Benz's W126 series and BMW's 735i and 745i.

In the past two years, the U.S. economy has regained its vitality, and American consumers who like large displacement have responded most quickly, and they have driven large displacement models again.

Mercedes-Benz W126 is the most familiar Daben in China. It has a 5.0-litre V8 engine with 239 hp, and its enhanced version has a major overhaul of the power unit, with a 5.6-litre V8 engine with a maximum power of 200 kW (271.92 hp), first introduced to the W126 model.

BMW's 735i, on the other hand, is equipped with a 185-horsepower 3.4-liter inline-four naturally aspirated engine with a maximum torque of 290Nm, and is equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission as standard. BMW's 745i, which landed in the North American market in '82, had to tune the 3.4-liter six-cylinder turbocharged engine in order to meet the strict emissions regulations in North America, and in the end, its maximum power was locked at 233 horsepower, and the 0-100 km/h acceleration time was also "slow" to 8.8 seconds.

Americans have always loved large-displacement and high-horsepower models, but due to strict emission regulations, the power of the North American version of the BMW 7 Series has been limited, which is obviously very unsuitable for American taste.

In the mid-80s, a part of the high-power 745i entered the North American market through different channels, and was deeply loved by consumers, and after further upgrades, its maximum power was increased to 290 horsepower and maximum torque of 340 Nm.

But the high-power versions of these two models can be said to have almost exceeded the displacement limit in the United States. The Lexus LS400 has a 4.0-liter V8 engine with a maximum output of 250 horsepower and a top speed of 250 km/h, which is not far behind the performance of the high-power versions of Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

And to the surprise of the media and the public and other car manufacturers, such a large displacement, Lexus LS400 actually meets the strict requirements of the United States emission regulations, and the emission qualification certification issued by the authoritative department shows that the LS400 meets the standard, which surprises many people and shocks the technical strength of this enterprise!

In fact, it is all thanks to the introduction of the multi-point electronically controlled fuel injection system and the VVT-i variable valve timing system introduced by the LS Automotive Research Institute. They can try to obtain the most power in the most reasonable fuel consumption range, with these two technologies, truly achieve fuel saving, environmental protection, economic and applicable, and let the engine achieve the best power performance, after the launch of the market surprise and affirmation!

It is precisely because of the emergence of these two sharp weapons that the V8 engine of LS400 has achieved much more power performance than other brands under the same displacement!

The stunning debut and excellent performance of the Lexus LS400 also made it the most eye-catching model at the New York Auto Show.

The automotive press also unanimously voted this model as the best model at this year's New York Auto Show, although its performance has yet to be tested, but with the data published by the manufacturer, as well as the tests of various rating agencies, the performance of this car is very advanced and worthy of the name. And its rich configuration and luxurious interior, it has indeed achieved the level of a top luxury car, many visitors immediately fell in love with this model, and the order call is very hot!

LS400 performance is also very perfect, its drag coefficient has been below the 0.3Cd this recognized threshold, although those curved cars in the thirties and forties have a lower drag coefficient, but since the car manufacturers have changed the design, the model is more and more square-headed, it has become extremely difficult to exceed 0.3, major manufacturers are trying to make their cars beat other competitors, to achieve the minimum resistance.

Among them, Mercedes-Benz's W126 series models have always performed well, its drag coefficient is only 0.36, and the Mercedes-Benz S-class model W116 in the seventies has a drag coefficient of 0.41, Mercedes-Benz is making progress in each era, and the lower drag coefficient and the application of lightweight materials have improved the fuel economy of the current W126 by about 10%!

However, the performance of Lexus LS400 in this regard suddenly surpassed the Mercedes-Benz W126, which is unimaginable!

The LS400 performed very well, its drag coefficient was only 0.29, which surpassed the Mercedes so much at once, and the Germans were quite depressed. And it is very fuel-efficient with such a large displacement, and the media exclaimed that this car should be the best performing model of the year!

Although there are still the Frankfurt Motor Show and the Geneva Motor Show behind, they believe that European manufacturers will not be able to catch up with the fuel economy and drag coefficient of this car in a short period of time. With these advantages, as well as the LS1 engine's advanced technologies of multi-point electronically controlled fuel injection system and VVT-i system, this engine can be named the engine of the year, which is a remarkable achievement!

As for the American car manufacturers, there is still nothing new this year, just the old models have been improved, and the media and the public can only laugh awkwardly, but with the new Lexus factory, it still makes Americans a lot excited! (To be continued.) )
