Chapter 347: Lamborghini's Gigafactory

Morality? Thomas does have this capital, the launch of the twin-turbo engine model greatly shocked a European, so that the sales of Maserati's car 81 exceeded 40,000 units, in the first 9 months of this year, Maserati's Biturbo also sold more than 30,000 units, and the annual sales are expected to exceed 40,000 units, and the sales performance of this car is also a sales record that Maserati has never had since its establishment!

Maserati's financial turnaround can naturally refuse capital acquisitions. Tommaso himself even has time to run his own supercar company, De? Tomaso Supercar Company.

Relying on the sales of Maserati to drive his own brand sports cars also sell well, especially relying on the technical strength of Maserati to make Tommaso sports cars have a big leap, De Tommaso has been lucky since taking over Maserati, this company has brought him a lot of benefits.

Lin Qiangsheng is very curious about this De Tomasso, this guy is more like an investor, and even De Tommaso has a Benelli motorcycle company, Italy's violent machine high-performance motorcycle; and a motorcycle brand, MotoGuzzi. The two motorcycle brands that Lin Qiangsheng likes very much are in the hands of this Argentine!

Driving into Lamborghini's new factory on a concrete road in the suburbs, you can see many employees at work at Lamborghini's headquarters from the outside. The office building with glass curtain wall is modern but not tall, and residential areas are scattered everywhere around, although it is more casual, but the location of the house is not chaotic, and there is a certain rhythm of beauty!

The area around the factory is not big but not small, compared to the large factories of several square kilometers in Ben Thanh, it is like a small bakery, but the layout and process equipment here are definitely built with the idea of building the world's most advanced factory!

Employees are allowed to live in the vicinity of the factory, and those who wish to live closer can apply to the company and build a wooden villa on their own with the help of friends and relatives.

On the whole, Lamborghini's new headquarters is far from the image of the world's top international enterprises, but a bit of a pastoral style.

This is a typical Italian business. Pride, self, not the biggest but the best. The architectural planning and design here are entirely carried out by local Italian engineers and designers, so it has a classic Italian elegance.

When the outside media saw that Lamborghini had changed its owner, its Italian blood did not disappear, but it was better inherited and carried forward, many Italians and Europeans breathed a sigh of relief, at least the Lamborghini brand was preserved!

Lin Johnson and Ferruccio both wore hard hats, and although it is already late autumn, Modena is much cleaner than domestic factories!

At this time, the weather in Modena is sunny and the air is neither dry nor dry. It can be said that the climate here is very good, which is ideal for the assembly and processing of fine spare parts, and perhaps this is one of the reasons why many supercar companies have made Modena their headquarters.

Lin Qiangsheng saw that the workshop was also kept very clean, and there was not even a little dust on the upper of the shoe when he came in from the outside! This is unimaginable in China, it seems that if you want to make a supercar, you have to choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, fresh air and warm climate, which is a good lesson for Lin Qiangsheng!

"Lin, this is our new Lamborghini factory, Lamborghini's Gigafactory, I'm proud of it!" Ferruccio patted Lin Johnson's shoulder vigorously. He was very happy, no matter what, it was very difficult to meet such a generous patron as Lin Qiangsheng, and Ferruccio was very glad that he chose Lin Qiangsheng and did not sell Lamborghini to anyone else!

Not counting the construction of the headquarters, Lin Johnson & Johnson has invested more than 150 million US dollars in the establishment of this super factory, and most of the technical equipment used here comes from the world's top equipment manufacturers such as GE Electric Company in the United States and Siemens in Germany!

Ferruccio saw that Lin Johnson was really willing to spend money for Lamborghini, and he gradually became very cooperative. This old man's personality is a little maverick and a little stubborn, and when he saw Lin Qiangsheng's sincere development of Lamborghini, he immediately recognized the new boss, regardless of whether he was Chinese or yellow. This company was founded by him Ferruccio himself, and no one can say anything, and as long as he is there, he can continue the glory of Lamborghini!

Lin Qiangsheng was also shocked by the modernization of this factory. He muttered to himself, "This is the Super Factory!" I didn't expect to see a gigafactory more than 20 years later! ”

"Lin, please don't speak Chinese, we'd better communicate in Italian and don't even speak English!" Ferruccio laughed and pulled Lin Qiangsheng into the workshop.

"This is the assembly workshop, the Lamborghini body and chassis are made in another company and then shipped back here for assembly, we use more than 30% of the automation equipment, but many spare parts still need to be manually operated by workers to complete, only people can better grasp the essence of supercars!" Ferruccio pointed to the production line and said to Lin Qiangsheng.

If you assemble it quickly, you can build a Lamborghini in two hours. And the ordinary car is 2 minutes off the assembly line.

Lin Qiangsheng saw very professional sports car assembly workers, most of the workers here are over 30 years old, and everyone has skilled assembly skills. Lin Qiangsheng feels that if the workers here are taken to China, they may be able to use each of them as technical engineers!

Looking at their focused expressions, Lin Qiangsheng sighed, sure enough. The domestic automobile industry still has a long way to go, and the earnestness of the Italian workers is difficult to find in the domestic industrial workers.

Lin Qiangsheng frowned, thinking about why domestic workers are not as professional as Italian workers, this is a big deal, at least this is the reason of the workers themselves, and at a large point this is a problem of industrial development thinking.

He looked around and wondered what circumstances made these people happy to work!

Ferruccio looked at the absent-minded Lin Qiangsheng in confusion, and he complained and said: "Boss, Lamborghini is your property, I hope you can be more serious when I explain it!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng saw that the old man was dissatisfied and quickly apologized and said, "Please forgive me, Ferruccio!" I was wondering where you found these serious workers who look professional! What environment forged them?! ”

Ferruccio was surprised, he looked at the assembly workers, and when he saw that each worker was working seriously, he smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Lin Qiangsheng: "After you bought Lamborghini, I also know a little bit about your country, China's industrialization is only more than 20 years, while Italy's industrialization has a history of more than 100 years, I think this is the reason." ”

Lin Qiangsheng was stunned, shook his head and said: "Although China's industrialization is much later than yours, we are not short of industrialized education!" ”

What Ferruccio mentioned was nothing more than the impact of industrialization on the people's minds, but China has experienced several large-scale industrial constructions, and even more so, the whole people have engaged in large-scale production movements. Workers in China's state-owned enterprises are almost always in factories, and state-owned enterprises are even small societies. After so many years of development, there is no shortage of ordinary workers who have studied hard and worked hard in the practice of factories in China, and there is no lack of collectives that are very good at teaching and learning from point to point.

This kind of subtle industrial education has been carried out in China for almost 30 years, and it is not backward than industrial ideology China, there are tens of millions of industrial workers in China, if there is no ideological propaganda and technical education, how tens of millions of workers are produced, Lin Qiangsheng does not think that whoever is older will develop well!

Seeing that Lin Qiangsheng was still puzzled, Ferruccio thought for a while and said: "Maybe you can read some books by famous psychologists, I recommend to you Marloes's hierarchy of needs theory to study human needs, I think this theory is also very effective when applied to factory management!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng said repeatedly: "Marlos, hierarchy of needs theory? ”

Ferruccio continued to take Lin Johnson to visit every detail of the factory, and the two arrived at the power workshop, he pointed to the testing area and said: "Every engine produced by Lamborghini must be strictly tested, and all data must meet the specifications before it can be assembled on the car, and every supercar of Lamborghini must have the smallest defects!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng saw a V6 engine on the test bench, the sound was very slight, and various connectors and sensing devices were plugged into the engine to monitor the data.

"This is the engine assembly area, and you see workers assembling the V6 engine. At present, many countries in Europe stipulate that a 38% consumption tax is levied on cars with a displacement of more than 2.0L, so we also have to develop and manufacture small displacement sports cars! Ferruccio said helplessly.

Lin Qiangsheng saw a worker pick up a valve and press it on the cylinder block, to see that its material is not metal, Lin Qiangsheng carefully picked up a valve and observed it carefully, it was much lighter than metal, only about one-fifth of metal, and Lin Qiangsheng even felt lighter than the same volume of plastic!

"What kind of material is this made of, I can't remember it for a while!" Lin Qiangsheng turned his head to Ferruccio and asked. (To be continued......)
