Pentium moved to San Francisco because of its Silicon Valley, proximity to a well-developed air port, and highways running through the country.

The monthly shipment of the Besturn 1st generation computer is now heading towards the sales target of 2,000 units, and it is expected that the annual sales volume will exceed 20,000 units. Then the annual sales amount may reach 6 million US dollars, and a few million dollars can be completely self-sufficient.

This level of a small company that has just been a little famous is not bad, and it took Jobs nine months to sell Apple's first batch of 200 Apple I computers.

Lin Johnson established the LS Automotive Research Institute in Los Angeles, California, which is one of the major centers of science and technology in the United States, with the largest number of scientists and engineers in the United States, and enjoys the title of "City of Science and Technology", and it is also the financial center second only to New York.

For a long time, the Jetta sedan of Bincheng Automobile Factory has been plagued by the inability of large-scale production of automobile factories because of the quality problems of spare parts. Although relying on the shortage of cars in China, the officials have no other choice, and the sale of cars is still in full swing, but Lin Qiangsheng knows that this kind of behavior will not last long.

Lin Qiangsheng placed an order in a headhunting company to hire technical engineering talents such as chassis tuning teachers, automotive system integration masters, and automotive electrical experts with superb technology.

Lin Qiangsheng purchased ten Jetta cars from China to the United States, and this foreign purchase made the automobile factory happy enough! The leaders of the factory thought that the American people also fell in love with the cars they produced, so much so that the general manager Li Gang and others thought that it was Lin Qiangsheng's business and praised Lin Qiangsheng.

This is a real achievement, Jetta sedan can go abroad to generate foreign exchange, this is a good thing worth writing about, even such a big newspaper as the central newspaper has reported this purchase!

But actually. After the cars arrived at the LS Automotive Research Institute in Los Angeles, they were quickly unloaded. Wayne looked at the chassis of the Jetta sedan and was amazed.

Wayne successively worked as a chassis tuning teacher at Chrysler and Ford's technical research centers, and Johnson Lin found Wayne, who was retired at home, and hired him with a high salary.

Came with him. There's also Williams, a master of automotive system integrators, and Cordinan, an electrical engineer who both have worked for major automotive companies, and Cordinan also has research and development credentials in electronic fuel injection systems.

"The front overhang of this Chinese car actually uses a double wishbone independent suspension! This complex structure is hard to see on a compact economy sedan! This kind of suspension is generally used in sports cars such as Ferrari! Wayne exclaimed.

Lin Qiangsheng pondered: Haven't you seen this kind of suspension also used by Lada! I'm this transplanted Lada technique!

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "The front overhang of this car is a double wishbone structure, and the rear overhang is supplemented by an integral plate bridge with coil springs. Although this combination has great advantages in sports and comfort, it is still too high-end for economic cars, with high manufacturing costs and difficult to adjust chassis parameters! I now want to change the front suspension of this car to a simple, low-cost MacPherson independent suspension. Strut shock absorbers and A-line lower brackets. The task is very simple, it is to give its chassis a simple configuration! At the same time, add an electrical system to the car, with a tape recorder, air conditioner, power windows, and a single-point EFI fuel system on the engine! ”

Kodinan smiled and asked, "Boss, are these tasks too easy?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng was stunned for a moment, he forgot that this is the United States, and he can buy any equipment directly in the market, where he wants to configure these things in China, and he doesn't even know who to find to study them!

Lin Qiangsheng blushed and said to a few people: "Just do it!" Wait until this task is completed. There are bigger tasks waiting for you! ”

Three engineers and six technicians began to redesign the Jetta's chassis system, replacing the front wheels with MacPherson independent suspension. The rear wheels are still built with reliable and robust bridges. They also gave it a try, adding a shock absorber to the axle and tuning the chassis.

Foreigners have formed a whole system of this kind of engineering system, and they have recorded the number of each item, so that in the long run, the number of the car series has been formed. For example, there is no such work in China, so after so many years, China has not summarized a set of available chassis parameters for automobiles and fuel conditions under various working conditions. So it's time for the EFI era. The domestic automobile industry has become blind and ignorant of anything, and it is to blame that at the beginning of the production of automobile manufacturing, there was no such work at all, and the long-term neglect of step-by-step work, not paying attention to the records of the number of jù, and the researchers immediately disbanded after the completion of the project, and finally paid a heavy price for these erroneous ideologies!

Wayne et al. at the time of their research. Lin Johnson has successively registered the trademarks of Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Lexus, Infiniti, and Acura in the United States and major countries, and of course, MAZDA has only registered an English trademark with no logo supplemented by it. After these trademarks were registered, he even planned to change the trademark of Bincheng Automobile Factory to Kou H.

Seeing that the trademarks of these later Japanese giant automobile companies fell into his own hands, Lin Qiangsheng laughed happily. I wonder if the Japanese will cry when they can't design a good trademark!

Think about it, even the trademarks of South Korea's Hyundai and Samsung are in the hands of Lin Qiangsheng, and sometimes he feels a little guilty!

I don't know if Koreans and Japanese will come to me and beg me to sell them my trademark. The Japanese may not come, but the Koreans may not.

Although it is a little unkind to take these trademarks as his own, Lin Johnson has a huge pleasure when he thinks that their products will occupy half of China in later generations!

Jetta's improved model has not yet been completed, Lin Qiangsheng hand-painted a design drawing of the second generation of Camry, LS Automotive Research Institute determined the specific body size according to his requirements, and then designed the specific configuration requirements of the car, the whole car adopts the popular FF front-wheel drive design, increase the interior space, and lengthen the wheelbase.

Make the ride feel more comfortable; Appearance requirements, more beautiful atmosphere!

The time-consuming clay mould mould was simply discarded and the body was cut out directly in a machine shop. Then I bought the powertrain and other spare parts on the black market of auto parts, and soon created a new pure B-class sedan!

It is equipped with a 2.0-liter inline-four, naturally aspirated 2S-ELC engine with a maximum horsepower of 91 ps, and two diesel engines, 1.8 liters and 2.0 liters, with a maximum power of 74 ps. The transmission is available in a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. Among its contemporaries, the car has a fairly spacious interior, with a wheelbase of 2600mm.

Lin Johnson named the new car VISTA Vision. The Camry has already been registered by the Japanese.

Study the models, large companies have big company play, small companies have small company practices.

At the end of the year, the revised Jetta II and VISTA Vision were finalized, and LS Research designed a new engine for VISTA, discarding the Japanese products that had been purchased from the market.

The new engine, codenamed Kmr, is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with four valves per cylinder, a compression ratio of 10.4, and a DOHC double overhead camshaft valve. The cylinder diameter is 90mm, the maximum horsepower is 165ps, the maximum power is 124kw, the maximum speed power is 5600rpm, and the maximum torque is 228N?m. This engine is widely adapted to the new environmental regulations of European and American countries.

The transmission is a Magna 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission.

In January, Johnson Lin led the LS team to the Detroit Auto Show with two new cars, Jetta II electrification-improved Jieda and VISTA Vision. The two new cars were presented to a wide range of car enthusiasts.

Seeing the improved Jetta II, the people of Volkswagen were taken aback again. Unexpectedly, this oriental designer has already serialized the Jetta family, and it seems that Volkswagen is lagging behind in this regard!

In advance, Lin Qiangsheng carried out extensive publicity and coverage in Chinese newspapers in North America, so the automobile research team led by Lin Qiangsheng and the two new cars have also received wide attention from the Chinese society.

This legendary Chinese mainland boy, who has made his fortune abroad in a short period of time, has become a household name in the Chinese community in North America.

The Chinese generally believe that this is a miracle boy who made his fortune on finance. Automatically ignored his identity as a sedan designer.

Now Lin Qiangsheng is really leading a new car and an improved car, once again making people realize that he is not only a nouveau riche, but also a young car designer!

On January 5, the 1980 North American International Auto Show was grandly opened. The event welcomed car manufacturers from all over the world!

The annual Detroit Auto Show is a large-scale event, but also a large-scale Patty event, because the auto show holds a wealth of cultural activities for tourists, visitors can also eat, drink and have fun, so the annual auto show is also a large-scale entertainment event, the venue and the venue is very lively!

The usual Detroit Auto Show has nothing to do with the Chinese community, and the Chinese people are not keen on this kind of white activity.

But this year, Lin Qiangsheng, a Chinese designer, participated in the auto show, and the news has long been known to Chinese newspapers, so for the first time, Chinese Americans began to be interested in the auto show, and the Chinese who came to join in the excitement also appeared around the auto show on a large scale for the first time.

The Detroit Auto Show is entirely a world of automakers, not a place for tuners or private car enthusiasts. Therefore, Lin Qiangsheng also took advantage of the identity of Bincheng Automobile Factory in H Province to participate in this event, and the organizers specially gave the Chinese designer a good position, next to the large exhibition hall of Toyota in Japan, and I don't know whether he attaches too much importance to Lin Qiangsheng or is despising Toyota! Toyota's large booth of more than 500 square meters, but Lin Qiangsheng's booth area is only a small loss!

But from the day Lin Qiangsheng showed the two cars in front of the audience, Toyota Eiji Toyoda, the head of the Toyota delegation, looked at VISTA how unpleasant, if it weren't for Lin Qiangsheng's modification of this car and a lot of changes, Toyota Eiji really wanted to rush up and grab Lin Qiangsheng, and asked him loudly, did you copy our Camry!

In addition, Eiji Toyoda looked at the bull head global logo on the front of the VISTA, and his expression was like eating a fly, and the whole person was not good!

For some reason, he felt that Toyota had lost something extremely important! It seems to be right in front of you!

At the auto show, there is still someone who eats flies, and that is the Volkswagen exhibitor. Their exhibitors looked at the second generation of Jetta that had changed its name to Jieda, how familiar they looked, isn't this the naked Jetta generation of leather cars!

Lin Qiangsheng looked at these Volkswagen and Toyotas who were often looking at the luck, and his heart smiled, "Brother has always been a porter, and he never wanted to surpass!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and introduced a new engine in front of the booth to the audience: "Everyone, please see, this is a new fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly engine newly developed by our company!" We have adopted a new technology, VVT System Variable Valve Timing Technology! This set of technology can adjust the amount of intake (exhaust), and the time and angle of valve opening and closing according to the operation of the engine, so that the amount of air entering can reach the best and improve the combustion efficiency, so that the engine can achieve the two advantages of fuel saving and significantly increasing the power lift ratio! ”

"To put it simply, VVT is a device that adjusts the valve lift, which can ensure low speed and high torque, and can obtain high speed and high power, which is a great breakthrough for automobile engines! Our company is extremely confident in this technology, which will be an extremely important auxiliary technology for future engines! ”

Many media gathered around Lin Qiangsheng's booth were interested and enthusiastically asked Lin Qiangsheng questions, while many auto exhibitors stared at the engine and fell into deep thought, only Eiji Toyoda seemed to be particularly excited! (To be continued......)
