Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Lin Zheng has always thought that oaths are not reliable, although the sentence "Women don't care about decency, decency is because they are not tempted enough; Men don't care about loyalty, loyalty is because the stakes for betrayal are too low", it is too extreme and absolute, but it does work in the shopping mall, for these people who have lived in capitalism since childhood and are accustomed to measuring every qiē with money, when the interests are so big that they make their oath, the oath becomes a joke for them, but even so, it is still a little difficult to make a person with an annual salary of nearly 3o yuan betray his oath, Lin Zheng smiled and nodded, "Do it well, um." In the past few days, you and Mr. Tan have thought about the type of our business and how to develop our business in the future, and when we think about it, tell me, I will help you think of a plan to see how we can make our popularity as fast as possible. ”

"Thank you, boss." Bijon. Waldegard nodded respectfully, although he didn't think that Lin Zheng could come up with any good solutions for himself, it didn't prevent him from expressing his gratitude to his boss.

"You're welcome, we'll be partners from now on," Lin Zheng paused, looked at Tanna and Waldegard, and said, "That's what I think, isn't it a bit condescending to just let Waldegard be a car appraiser and engineer?" ”

"Huh? What are your ideas? Tanna's eyes lit up!

She knows Lin Zheng too well, this guy must have a very good idea if he dares to say that now.

"I can't say it's an idea, it's just an idea. Waldegard, in my impression. Whether it is F1 or Rc, in the initial program demonstration stage of deciding to develop a car, the driver must be involved, from the program demonstration to the next plan determination, modification, road test, adjustment and final finalization, the driver must participate in the whole process, saying that the main driver is the car collection of engineers, modification technicians, test drivers and the final car driver The role can also be said in the past, every driver has deep technical attainments and experience in the car, and everyone is an expert in the car. Is that so? Lin Zheng asked Waldegard.

"Yes." Waldegard nodded, his face couldn't help but show memories of the past, and said, "I personally finalized the modification plan of the Ford escortRs I drove back then, from the engine, the gearbox to the chassis, not only did I participate in all the projects, but the core system was finalized by me and the chief engineer." ”

"That's going to do it." A smile appeared on Lin Zheng's face, "Since your technology is here, can we use a certain car as a prototype...... I'm leaning towards the Dodge Challenger, the Ford Mustang or the Chevrolet Camaro...... I can help you design the exterior and interior for an in-depth custom modification, and you can design the powertrain, chassis, brakes and shock absorption systems, and we bring this customized high-performance race car to the market. It's like the big dog motorcycle company that was just launched last year. ”

In fact, not only Big Dog Motorcycle Company, but every major car manufacturer in the world has its own "royal" tuning department, such as Ford's sVT special vehicle group, such as Mercedes-Benz's royal amg department and the rising star Carlson...... Not only do these companies have close relationships with car manufacturers, but their modified cars can be sold on the market.

Waldegard's mouth is wide open. The eyes are bright and scary, but the heart has already set off a stormy wave: yes! What is it to only sell used cars. What does it mean to evaluate the quality of a used car? I'm out of the racetrack, but my knowledge of racing allows me to do it.

He never imagined that he would be able to return to the world of racing again in this way.

"I ...... I ......" Waldegard's face flushed with excitement, and he didn't know what to say.

"I remember that in the United States, as long as the relevant regulations are met, this kind of modified car can be sold and put on the road, right?" Suddenly thinking of this, Lin Zheng hurriedly asked Waldegard.

"That's right, but you need to be professionally modified."

"Is this qualification easy to obtain?" Lin Zheng is most worried about this problem.

"The problem is not big, the most important thing is the problem of environmental protection regulations, as long as the environmental protection and safety are not reduced when refitting, there is no problem." As a former professional, Waldegard knows everything about it.

"Then I'll be relieved." Lin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Tan Na finally digested Lin Zheng's words, and she was a little confused as she had never been in contact with a modified car, "Is this thing very profitable?" ”

Without waiting for Lin Zheng to speak, Waldegard said strongly, "Very profitable, very profitable, a deeply modified car can even be sold for three or even five times the original price, such as Ford's Mustang sports car, their cheapest entry-level model is less than 20,000 US dollars, But the price of the top-of-the-line mustanggT version is 2.5 times that of the entry-level model, which is still mildly modified, and the price gap between the entry-level model of the first-generation Ford Mustang and the top-of-the-line Shelby gT5oo is about 5 times, and after removing the cost, they even earn more than $10,000 per car. ”

"Hiss~~" Tan Na gasped like a toothache, she finally understood why Lin Zheng wanted to encourage Waldegard to do this modified car business, it turned out that this thing was so profitable! "If they produce tens of thousands of modified cars a year, isn't that big?"

"How can there be so many," Lin Zheng explained to her, "these modified cars, most of the modification work is done by hand, and many of the parts required are completed by hand, and the production of such a car is very time-consuming and troublesome, and the general modified car factory can produce three or four hundred vehicles a year, such as Ford's sVT, Mercedes-Benz's amg and BMW's M department, which is only three or five thousand units per year, which is already a huge scale. Most of them are also minor modifications in the form of kits. ”

"Oh oh......" Tan Na nodded again and again, but even so, she was also very satisfied, thinking that a car could earn more than 10,000 dollars, and as long as she produced four or five hundred cars a year, it was nearly 10 million dollars, and the little witch's big eyes turned into the shape of copper coins.

"But if you want to do that, a few million dollars won't even be enough to buy equipment, let alone recruit engineers and the like." Waldegard knew that it was very profitable, but he also knew how much money he would need to burn in the early stage, and he suddenly had a headache when he thought of this huge investment figure.

"It doesn't matter, isn't there a lot of modified car competitions in the United States, we can get one to participate in the modified car competition first, as long as we are in the limelight and get an order at the meeting, we can take these things through guò economic means." Lin Zheng said arrogantly, even if it is just a technical nerd, for Lin Zheng, who has experienced the information bombardment of later generations, he will not be very unfamiliar with this most ordinary means of business operation.

"But what do we use to change it? You come from a design background, and you know how important a stylish shape is to a car, which is even decisive in many cases......" Thinking about this question, Waldegaard couldn't help but feel a little worried, the technical problems of modification are not a problem at all for him, a former Rc champion, but a stylish shape is not what he is good at.

"Leave it to me," Lin Zheng said to Tan Na confidently, "Girl, go and bring the set of things I sketched." ”

Tan Na glanced at this guy who dared to pretend in front of her: How dare you instruct Miss Ben to me?

But for the sake of this guy's face, he decided to forgive him.

The set of things used for sketching was quickly brought in, and although Waldegard was extremely optimistic that his boss would be able to come up with any good ideas in such a short period of time, the boss's face was always to be given, and he had already decided that even if the boss drew a piece of shit for a while, he would praise him against his will.

But Waldegard, who was already prepared against his will, was stunned for a moment when he saw the car on Lin Zheng's sketch paper that was quickly taking shape, and rubbed his eyes desperately in disbelief: How could it be possible?!

The boss drew a Ford Mustang, which is undoubtedly, or more accurately, a Ford Mustang with a sixty or seventy years of metabolism Erby Cobra gT5oo style, the bulging curves on the engine hood, the nose that is completely different from the now popular, "lean-to-back" style, there is no doubt that it has a strong style of the glorious heyday of the Mustang in the sixties and seventies.

But it has a lot of differences from the Ford Mustang in the heyday of the sixties and seventies, the Ford Mustang on the picture is more modern and three-dimensional, this is a modern version of the Mustang with a strong retro style of the sixties and seventies, well, it is the Mustang Shelby gT5oo.

"It's ...... Wild horse? Waldegard couldn't believe that his boss had scribbled on a Mustang in his mind.

"Of course this is a Mustang," Lin Zheng's hand moved quickly, and at the same time said, "Since it is a Mustang, it should be wild and uninhibited, indulge in galloping, and give a Mustang with a V8 motive with only 12o Malay?" I think the people in Ford have been kicked by donkeys collectively, American muscle sports cars, you have to have high horsepower, so powerful that it is quite unreasonable, the rear wheels will slip and sway left and right when starting The power and torque are the essence of American muscle cars, sissy American muscle cars, is it still called American muscle cars? ”
