Fang Hao looked at Kreuzer very calmly: "What, is there any problem?" ”

"Yes, of course! And it's a big problem! Kreuzer immediately said, "I don't talk about the construction of the plant and the commissioning of the production line, nor do I say that the procurement of parts and components requires a process to stabilize the quality!" Some of these factories may not be able to improve after one or two years of commissioning! Let's talk about a car! From the prototype to the real energy production, it takes at least a year, and it can't be less! ”

Fang Hao frowned and asked, "It takes that long?" ”

Kreuzer nodded: "The car is a system engineering, it doesn't mean that we just have to bury our heads in it, but we also need the cooperation of the parts factory!" ”

Fang Hao was a car layman at this time.

Kreuzer took Fang Hao to visit the workshop first, and introduced while visiting: "What we are doing now is the first step, digital model!" ”

To put it simply, now it's about styling the car on the computer.

But it's not just a simple drawing, it's a cool car picture that can be done in a few hours.

When designing a digital model, automotive engineers are fully involved in the design.

When Fang Hao and Kreuzer walked through a conference room, several engineers were arguing with the stylist.

"You stupid X, what does this R corner let me do?"

"You make sheet metal pieces like this, can I stamp them out?"

Fang Hao looked at Kreuzer.

Kreuzer shrugged: "This step will take a long time, in my experience, if you want a car that is properly controlled in all aspects, even if the digital model is copied from other car series, it will take at least two or three months!" ”

Fang Hao gradually understood the point, and the reason why it took time was because it had to be adjusted back and forth according to the opinions of automotive engineers.

After the digital model is determined, the stylist will also make a clay model - which can be understood as a 1:1 plasticine car model.

Engineers then use this model to study engineering feasibility.

After all, the styling can be very cool, but in the end, it can't be realized at all when it is mass-produced, and it is completely meaningless.

After all the styling modifications that may affect the engineering design and subsequent assembly are completed, the styling of the car is completed.

The stylists breathed a sigh of relief, and the ensuing chaos between the engineers ensued.

The process engineer will say that this sheet metal part is too difficult to make.

The parts engineer will say, Gan Lin brewing, control the cost!

The interior engineer began to curse mother, your engine has encroached on the space in my interior.

The electrical engineer scolded, I am not rich in special code space!

Eventually, the general arrangement engineer was there and the mud, oops, you let let, you let a little.

Depending on the size of the conflict, this step can take anywhere from three months to a year or more.

Finally and the thin mud is finished and opened.

The first step is to get the parts out of the body, and this step has to contact the parts supplier, which is also the biggest difficulty for laymen to enter the automotive industry.

Because you need a few parts for a trial car, the supplier will open a mold for you to build a few parts? How much are you going to give?

Of course, Fang Hao has Kreuzer's face here, and the name of the former BMW CEO is still very useful.

And the Sioux city government will also build a platform for the future.

After the trial installation is completed, it generally has to go through several rounds of "review, improvement", "review, improvement" and other processes.

During this period, there were all kinds of problems, and some of them could not be imagined.

But it's okay to find the problem at this step, if you can't find it, it will be troublesome when it comes to mass production.

Citroen used to have a car, and it was difficult to install a screw in the cabin, and I didn't find it when I tried to install the car, and I found this problem after debugging the assembly line and starting mass production.

Originally, it only took 10 minutes for a car to add up to other processes on the assembly line, but it took 3 minutes to tighten this screw.

In the end, it was the facelift that changed the problem.

At this point, the car is built.

The next step is to carry out various tests on the prototype, mainly for performance and durability.

This step is actually very hard, the test engineer needs to drive the prototype car all over the world, and have to spend a completed winter and summer.

In winter, in the northernmost Heihe, the car condition is tested at minus 40 degrees.

In the summer, the weather in Hainan is minus 40 degrees Celsius to test the car.

350,000 kilometers a month is a small meaning.

And sometimes you have to run tens of thousands of kilometers in a row on all kinds of bad roads that can make, which is used to simulate the situation after the user runs hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

This step is not coincidental and must take time to do.

Because to spend a complete winter and summer, the fastest and fastest, it will take half a year.

Once this step is complete, the various tests of the car are considered complete.

The next step is for the process engineer to start matching the assembly line and studying the production and assembly steps.

In Kreuzer's office, Kreuzer spent a full two hours on this PPT before finishing these processes.

Fang Hao did a series of car tasks, but in fact, he drove ducks to the shelves, and he didn't think about it so much at all.

Hearing that it would take so long, the coordination of dozens of departments and hundreds of parts suppliers, Fang Hao felt particularly big, and he asked, "Is this ...... Wouldn't it cost a lot of money? ”

Kreuzer smiled and said, "I heard that you have a car called Hongqi, and tens of billions of dollars have been invested in research and development alone!" ”

Fang Hao's face is black, has this face been thrown abroad?

Kreuzer continued: "Although this figure is exaggerated, I have a data here, Qoros Automobile, a joint venture between Quantum Group and Chery, has a total investment of 15 billion Huaxia coins!" They did three things with the money.

1. Establish a R&D center to improve design, experiment, supplier management, etc.

Second, the construction of the Hucheng factory, and put into the production line and other supporting facilities, the cost of this is actually the largest, the annual output of 100,000 factories need to invest about 5 billion, every 100,000 vehicles almost need to add 5 billion!

Of course, a lot of Qoros R&D and design are outsourced, which is an inevitable waste, so in terms of cost, we will be much cheaper! ”

Hearing 15 billion, Fang Hao's mind was a little confused.

He thought he was quite rich before, although he hadn't calculated it carefully, but all his net worth added up, and he still had 1 billion.

But 1 billion and 15 billion don't seem to be the same concept.

Kreuzer said with a smile: "Of course, I think this money must be trivial to you, boss!" It's really not good, we can still raise money! ”

Fang Hao said with a straight face: "Financing is acceptable, but I won't give out the shares!" These things will be talked about in the future, after all, money is not invested all at once, if you do it well, I will definitely not lose money! ”

Kreuzer nodded: "I never doubt that!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to China from BMW. ”

Fang Hao said: "But now there is a key problem, we have to find a way to shorten the time of mass production cars, according to your process, at least one and a half to two years, I can't wait!" ”

It took two years to complete a task, although the reward was not bad, but Fang Hao felt that it was too slow. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Daddy Wanjie Rescue System Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
