There is no need for Ford's affirmation, Angelber and Lin Zheng heard the back, and they were already ninety percent sure in their hearts, what General Motors did must be something similar to what Lin Zheng said, for a while, Angelber looked at Lin Zheng's gaze a little hairy: Did you kid get the news from General Motors?

Although Anjiber is not a person in the automotive industry, he still says that the intersection between the automobile and the semiconductor industry is getting deeper and deeper, and he also has a considerable understanding of the automotive industry, so he naturally knows how passive it is for Ford to let General Motors come up with such a thing and Ford Motor does not know it: General Motors has been thinking so much about users, and you Ford Motors are so indifferent to the needs of users? What do you think...... Aren't the lives of our users precious?

Everything is afraid of going online, this kind of thing is not only in China, but also in foreign countries, and it is also first-class, in case some idle eggs hurt what committee, this will, that will, and so on jump out to express some dissatisfaction with Ford Motor, Ford will look at its own declining sales and cry, this is really no way, who let you Ford Motors make a bad move.

An Jibo was even sure that if Lin Zheng hadn't made such a thing by mistake, Ford would not have been passive at that time.

Ford himself also knows this truth, and he has to say, "Then in this project, Lianchuang Technology is a technology shareholder, mainly responsible for the early stage of software development and later software maintenance; Texas Instruments is responsible for the hardware and the follow-up platform development; Ford Motor Co., Ltd. has a stake in the platform and capital. The required hardware and software were purchased from Lianchuang Technology and Texas Instruments, and the operation of the customer service center was handed over to Ford Motor, with Ford Motor, Texas Instruments and Lianchuang Technology accounting for 4o, 3o, and 3o% of the shares respectively. What do you two think? ”

What do you think? Very good, with the annual output of Ford Motors, the purchase of hardware equipment alone will cost millions of sets a year, which is not a small amount for Texas Instruments;

The same number of hardware platforms need to be equipped with the same amount of software, and for Lianchuang Technology, the cost of software is ...... Ahem, they seem to be earning a little more than Texas Instruments;

As for Ford cars. With such a real-time voice security system that can interact with the driver, the price of the car is naturally slightly higher, as for the stake and profit. Compared with the influence of such a platform, the revenue is not what they value the most...... Lin Zheng just said that for the sake of early promotion, it is best to implement the method of no charge for the first two years. That's understandable. Before the public really sees the benefits of this system to themselves, it is too difficult for them to pay, and even the price increase of the vehicle can only be added implicitly, which basically means that there is only input in the first few years, no output, Lianchuang Technology wants to ensure its share of shares, and it is estimated that at least one-third of the money earned from this project will be re-invested.

However, Ford was able to come up with this plan, which is enough to prove that Ford Motor has shown full sincerity. Of course, Anderson will not have an opinion, but Lin Zheng put forward a point: "It is not Lianchuang Technology that cooperates with Texas Instruments and Ford Motor. Rather, ICQ and SmartNetbsp; “icq？” Angelber and Ford glanced at each other, both of them thoughtful in their eyes, "Well, it's okay for ICQ to be in charge of the software part, but what is this smartcity?" ”

After all, ICQ nominally has nothing to do with Lianchuang Technology, and its registration location is in the United States, so it will be much less troublesome in the future...... Local protectionism has never been lacking in the United States under the banner of "free market economy", but this can also be understood. Just smartcity? City elves? What is this?

"SmartCity is a small, pocket-sized, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly mini car that our company is driving, and my vision is to equip this car with this OnStar system." That's right, Boss Lin shamelessly and without feeling ashamed to move the name onstar over...... Anyway, the current General Motors should not have registered the "onstar" brand.

"What do you mean, your company plans to drive a car?" Lin Zheng's words made Ford and Anjiber almost bite their tongues, looking at Lin Zheng's gaze, it was really as weird as it was: Boy, do you know where this is? This is America! There are all the car brands in the world, all the models in the world are competing here, and you still think that the competition here is not fierce enough, and you are planning to open a car brand that you have never heard of before, what are you...... Don't you think you're dying fast enough?!

"Yes, a kind of urban mini car, there are two specifications, the body length is about 2.7 meters and 3.5 meters, corresponding to 2 and 4 seats respectively, the displacement is O.81, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5 liters, mainly to facilitate urban commuting and parking...... "I can't say, Lin Zheng has to introduce his smartcity plan to Ford and Anjiber.

This one...... It seems that the United States really doesn't have this type? After listening to Lin Zheng's explanation, Ford and Angelber glanced at each other, both of them were a little shocked in their eyes, at first they were really unimpressed, thinking that Lin Zheng was dying fast enough, a completely emerging car brand wants to make a name for itself in the United States? Do you think this hall is so easy to fight?

But after listening to Lin Zheng, they have to admit that Lin Zheng's idea is indeed quite feasible: small, lightweight, flexible, convenient to park, cheap, low cost of use, 2.7 meters of body length can almost be parked horizontally in a standard parking space, for those who struggle to find a parking space all day long is really too tempting, but Ford has been engaged in cars all his life, and he can't think of how to make the body length less than 2.7 meters......

"We're similar to a traditional hatchback, but the powertrain is rear-wheel drive, and the traditional front engine compartment is very short, with only a water tank, a fan, a glass kettle, a coolant kettle and other things underneath that are easy to maintain, uh, and a cushion space for impacts......"

Listening to Lin Zheng talk about his smartcity idea, Ford's expression became more and more strict, and when Lin Zheng finished speaking, he muttered for a while, and suddenly asked Lin Zheng, "Lin, you can use mature standard universal parts for the suspension system, but how do you solve the power system and chassis design?" As far as I know, your company doesn't have this kind of power system. ”

"We invited Billyon. Mr. Waldegard came to help us design the chassis. Lin Zheng said with a smile.

"Than Jon. Waldegard? Ford's brow furrowed, "This name is somewhat familiar......

You really should feel familiar, if you don't feel familiar, then it's a problem, Lin Zheng nodded with a smile, "Than Jon. Mr. Waldegard is a former World Rally Championship 1979 overall champion and driver for Ford, and as for the powertrain, we already have that proven powertrain from the Japanese Suzuki A1to to work with. ”

Ford Fleet ...... 1979 World Rally Championship Overall Champion...... Ford suddenly realized, and then shook his head with a wry smile, a World Rally Championship annual champion designed such a toy-like car, it is indeed not a big problem, as for Suzuki's car called A1TO, he really knows, very small, very fuel-efficient, although the tall Americans sit in it is very aggrieved, but with low price and low fuel consumption, sales in the United States are still considerable......

Of course, sales are one thing, but the margins of this small car are very small, and the considerable sales volume does not bring much economic benefit to Suzuki.

He smiled bitterly and said to Lin Zheng, "Lin, out of the advice of a friend, I can only tell you that the A1TO car is not as popular in the American market as it was in the 8o. ”

"I can understand, after all, A1TO began to design in the 7O years, although they have launched several generations of models, but the basic structure of the car has not changed essentially, our car is different, at the beginning of the design to determine the 'maximum space in the car, the minimization of the model volume, the most fashionable appearance' design concept, I have reason to believe that the annual sales of this car can reach about 1O units in three years."

Annual sales of 1o units? Ford was slightly shocked by Lin Zheng's self-confidence. The annual sales of 1o thousand units is not such a terrifying number, among the brands controlled by Ford Motor and Ford Motor Holdings, there are no less than 8 models that can achieve annual sales of 1o units, but an emerging car brand can reach annual sales of 1o units in three years? This is a bit scary, even if the profit is meager, but there is a base of 1o vehicles, and the profit of a year is not a small amount.

After hesitating for a moment, he still said to Lin Zheng, "Lin, if you don't mind, can you show me your exterior drawing?" Maybe I can help you with some advice. ”

Of course, Lin Zheng wouldn't mind, it would be fine if someone else came over, but with Ford's identity and status, he didn't have to worry about this guy stealing his creativity, and quickly drew two sketches, including a front view and a side view.

it! Seeing these two pictures, Ford finally knew where Lin Zheng's confidence came from, if it could really do this kind of process, it would be possible to ensure that their smartcity could really reach the scale of 1O units of annual sales. Ya immediately decided, "Lin, I want to take a stake in your smartcity project, what do you think?" (To be continued......)
