567 What to Do? (Above)
"The tricycle...... It's crazy......"
Wright took two sips of water, and then said to Lin Zheng excitedly: "Boss, do you see, these people are all coming for our car, God, I have never seen a car that can be so popular...... Even Harley's latest car doesn't attract so much attention. ”
"It seems that I sent this car over here," Lin Zheng nodded with a smile, and then asked the two of them, "Waldegard, Wright, what do you think is the upgrade potential of that engine?" ”
"This ......"
Waldegard and Wright glanced at each other, nodded slowly, and then said: "Boss, in our opinion, the design idea of this engine is simply the design idea of the World War II period, if it is improved...... It's not much easier than redesigning an engine. ”
The two thought that the boss might retreat, but to Waldegard and Wright's surprise, in the face of this answer, their boss didn't feel anything wrong when he died, so he nodded: "Then it's decided, you continue to change after you go back." ”
"Continue to change?" Wright was stunned for a moment, and carefully reminded his boss: "But boss, if we really do this, it may cause some trouble, and BMW will not watch us do this and be indifferent." ”
Wright's words made Lin Zheng a little surprised: "Oh? Do you know the relationship between this car and BMW? ”
"I asked someone to check the relationship between this car and the BMW R71," Wright nodded: "This car is no problem for you to sell in China." But if it's sold internationally, I'm willing to bet BMW won't let us go. ”
"Don't worry about them," Lin Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "Have you forgotten about the patent validity period?" Think about how many years has R71 been until now? Think about how many years our country has been producing this engine? ”
Wright was stunned for a moment. That's when I suddenly realized! The patent is usually valid for 20 years, BMW produced the R71 side three-wheeled motorcycle during World War II, and now the World War II has ended half a century, no matter how much technology on this Yangtze River 750 side three-wheeled motorcycle has something to do with the R71, BMW can no longer talk about this. Realizing this, Waldegard and Wright were both a little embarrassed: "Sorry boss, we forgot ......"
"It's okay." Lin Zheng said nonchalantly. But I sighed deeply in my heart: This is the poison of capitalism, look at these poor children, what are they all scared of?
But after realizing that BMW can no longer do anything to itself. Wrightden became excited: "Boss, don't worry, it will be ...... a year at most."
"No, you only have half a year." Before Wright could finish speaking, Lin Zheng unceremoniously interrupted him. "Half a year later. I'm going to see a proven and improved version of the engine powertrain come before my eyes. ”
"Oh God, half a year?!" For his boss's request, Wright almost bit his tongue, and it took a long time for Ai Ai to say: "Boss, this is impossible......"
"I don't look at difficulties, I just want results," Lin Zheng's eagle-like gaze was fixed on Wright again: "Wright, if you can succeed." You'll get a cut of the engine's sales, and if you don't think you're up to the job. I'm sure the after-tax share of more than $500,000 a year will get engine experts to step up and take over the job. ”
Although the job of smashing people with money is quite untechnical, it is undeniable that the effect of smashing people with money is also quite good, hearing that he can get a share of more than $500,000 after taxes every year, Wright instantly threw what he just said into the clouds, and his mouth trembled like the waist of a stripper in a song hall: "5...... $500,000 ......"
"If you think that's a big number, we can discuss it." Lin Zheng smiled and quipped: "Of course, if you are willing to accept this job, the company can prepare two BMWR80GS and BMWR100GS for you as a reference." ”
Stimulate! It's so exciting! What is the concept of $500,000 after taxes? This is almost equivalent to an annual salary of one million before tax, in the United States, what kind of people can get an annual salary of one million, all of them are senior managers of those famous large companies, what CEOs, CFOs, chief officers and other big people, and themselves, a car tuner, now have an annual salary of only about 70,000 US dollars, and there is also a chance to earn an annual salary of millions?
It must be admitted that capitalism is still very good at educating the common people, that is: as long as there is enough profit, there is nothing that cannot be negotiated!
"No, no, no! I think that's a good number...... Very good......" Wright's brain is already a little unable to think normally, Lin Zheng's annual sales commission of 500,000 US dollars after tax makes this brain's brain full of flying Franklin, in front of these flying Franklin, to hell with any difficulties!
Fortunately, this guy still remembered where he was, resisted the urge to hug his wife's hand and kiss him violently, and patted his chest hard: "Boss, don't worry!" I assure you that you will definitely come up with an engine that will satisfy you within half a year! ”
After speaking, he seemed to feel that these words could not express his respect for the boss so much, and patted his chest vigorously: "In addition to this, I will continue to develop this engine in depth, from 750CC to 1000CC, from two-cylinder to four-cylinder...... Form a complete sequence! ”
Was it necessary to develop a horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine? Lin Zheng was a little skeptical of Wright's words, but it was not a problem, the point was that he couldn't hit Wright's morale at the moment, and patted Wright's shoulder with satisfaction: "Very good, not bad, Wright, you remember, this engine will be used in our smartcity in the future, so ......"
"Don't worry, boss, I know what to do!" Wright, who was still faintly worried about the market prospects of this engine, suddenly turned red as if he had drunk too much: Since it will be installed on the smartcity in the future, do you still have to worry about your share?
……………………
Looking at Wright, who was already impatiently ready to make a big move, Waldegard's eyes were a little envious, an annual salary of one million dollars, for more than 99% of Americans, this is a number that can make them crazy, even Waldegaard, the former WRC world champion, as an American, he knows too well what this money means in the United States.
Looking at Waldegard's reaction, Lin Zheng smiled secretly in his heart: What I want is your envy and jealousy!
After a deep groan, Lin Zheng asked Waldegard directly: "Waldegard, can you get the engine?" ”
"Engine?" Waldegard was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the boss had just assigned Wright the task of improving the Yangtze River 750 engine, and he even had to build the engine, but he quickly reacted, as a world-class racing driver, if he couldn't make the engine, it would be a big joke, and he had a faint premonition in his heart and nodded quickly: "Boss, no problem!" ”
"It's okay if there's no problem," Waldegard's answer made Lin Zheng very satisfied, what he wanted was Waldegard's self-confidence: "I need to look at the gasoline engine, it doesn't need much power and torque, it needs to be able to reach the ordinary level of engine performance of the same displacement in the world at present, or even slightly inferior, it doesn't matter, this engine doesn't need to have advanced technology, what variable valve lift technology, double overhead camshaft technology, variable intake and exhaust technology...... There is no need for all, it is a simple gasoline engine, the only requirement is that the engine structure is simple, the performance is reliable, and the technical requirements for production and processing are as simple as possible. ”
After a slight pause, Lin Zheng simply gave an example, "If it can be like the 4G63 single overhead camshaft engine used on the Mitsubishi Lancer." ”
As a top automotive expert, Waldegard is no stranger to the single overhead camshaft 2.0 naturally aspirated engine used on the Mitsubishi Lancer, which does not have any advanced technology, not only uses single overhead camshaft technology, but also uses timing belts even when maintenance-free timing chains have begun to be widely used in the world, and even the torque and power of the engine are not medium, but it is undeniable that the 4G63 is a very reliable and durable engine, which even the Americans who have always been above the top in automotive technology have to admit.
"If you want to reach 4G63, you ......" Waldegard smiled bitterly, hesitated, and said: "Boss, that's impossible, in my opinion, 4G63 has reached the limit of gasoline engine reliability, and it may be difficult to surpass 4G63 in terms of reliability and durability." ”
"That's it......" Lin Zheng groaned for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and stared at Waldegard: "What if you develop a similar engine based on 4G63." ”
The three words "almost" were bitten very hard by Lin Zheng.
Waldegard, who had been cooperating with Lin Zheng for a while, naturally understood what his boss's words meant, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said cowardly: "Boss, this is an infringing ......" (to be continued......
