Chapter 115 Steel Plate Pickup
Hearing the young man's voice, a flash of joy suddenly appeared on Wang Ye's face, and he glanced at the members of the rocket engine project team who were present with sad faces, and then said with a smile:
"Okay, then I'll go first, let's think about the issue of range extension."
Then Wang Ye waved his hand and left the conference room, everyone in the conference room looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but start to smile bitterly, led by the female committee member who seemed to be in her fifties, and said with a helpless smile:
"Alright, let's move on!"
In the factory area, Wang Ye and the young man were in a hurry.
Regarding a series of product design drawings such as motorcycles and tricycles, Wang Ye had already issued them reference drawings before, but now Wang Ye is no longer the Wang Ye of the past, and the Red Star Consortium is not the former Red Star Machinery Factory, so what Wang Ye gave is just the simplest structural drawing, or even just a concept drawing, requiring them to refine the design in this direction, of course, if there are any other brilliant ideas, they can also put forward.
After a while, Wang Ye and the young man came to the door of a workshop, only to see the sign next to the workshop that read "A variety of light vehicles and vehicle engineering research laboratory", and at the end there was a green mark, representing the lowest level of secrecy.
"Factory director? The factory director is here! ”
Wang Ye walked into the workshop, accompanied by a sound of surprise, Wang Ye's eyes did not stay in the crowd, but looked behind him!
"That's a good job! Looks weird and stylish! ”
Following Wang Ye's gaze, I saw two products not far away, and on the left was a motorcycle, but it was very different from the motorcycle of today's era, not the conventional 125 modeling, but the ADV motorcycle shape of later generations, that is, the adventure motorcycle, which can be slightly equivalent to the SUV model in the car, not pure off-road, but compared with road cars, there are certain passability advantages.
In fact, the world's first ADV motorcycle has been born, just two years ago, the manufacturer is located in Germany Bavaria Engine Factory GmbH, but at this time the concept of ADV has not been clarified, but it is called off-road, endurance and street motorcycle.
Therefore, this ADV motorcycle of the Red Star Consortium, Wang Ye is very shameless to refer to the classic ADV model of later generations, and is jokingly called the "water bird" motorcycle by many motorcycle friends.
It's just that the motorcycle headlights, Wang Ye did not copy the big and small eyes of the water bird, but engaged in a set of five-pointed red star shapes, coupled with today's production technology and manufacturing industry, which is far less exquisite than later generations, resulting in the whole motorcycle revealing a rough, durable, aggressive, and irritable industrial beauty.
Another difference is that most of the future ADV models will only consider single and double rides, but in this day and age, it makes sense to have four people on a motorcycle?
So Wang Ye lengthened the length of the seat, making the whole motorcycle look more coarse and perverted.
In addition, the reason why Wang Ye was the first to get the ADV model out is also very simple, now the domestic road situation is very worrying, and the ADV with better passability is obviously more dominant, and the higher practicability can make it accept by more people, and even enter the sequence of official procurement.
After all, for today's China, there are still a lot of field workers, such as geological prospecting, land surveying, engineering construction, they all need transportation, and the main domestic field car, or Yanjing Automobile's 212 jeep, to be honest, the off-road ability is average, sometimes it is not convenient enough, the passage is not as convenient as the motorcycle, and the cost is a little higher.
Therefore, Wang Ye's definition of this motorcycle is a kind of "work car".
All in all, there is definitely a market, and whether you can get it or not is another question.
Except for motorcycles.
Another product, it looks ordinary, that is, a small three-wheeler, but it is not quite correct to say that it is a small three-wheeler, because it is slightly larger than the electric three-wheeled and motorcycle three-wheeled in later generations.
Also taking into account the characteristics of the times, although there are only three wheels, the operation method is not a motorcycle handlebar, but the steering wheel on the left side is hard-connected to the front wheel spindle through a chain, so that two or even three people can sit in the front row.
These two cars use a single-cylinder engine with a displacement of 300cc, and a twin-cylinder engine with a displacement of 600cc, especially the latter, the transmission system is specially tuned, which can further amplify the low-speed torque and greatly improve the starting traction.
For an engine, in a sense, horsepower determines its ultimate power, which corresponds to the maximum speed of the car, and torque determines the level of its explosive power.
As long as the starting traction is strong enough, the burden on the engine after running is actually small, which is why the single-cylinder tractor can pull so much, because the low torque is very strong.
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, have fewer children, and grow more trees, which is essentially the role of transportation capacity in promoting economic development.
But today's roads are sparse, the key car is very few and pitiful, that is naturally not conducive to commercial development, so the role of the three wheels is reflected, the price is low and the goods are strong, if the original factory roll cage and ceiling are selected, you can become a "bouncing car", "rat head", "rabbit car" and other different names around the tricycle, the key has the original welded roll cage, not afraid of overturning, pulling people is also a must!
"How about Zang Gong? Have you tried it? ”
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye walked to the side of the two cars with a smile and asked.
"Tried it! Already tried! Everybody tried! ”
"It's said to be very easy to ride, and it's said to be much stronger than the Honda King, and it's also comfortable!"
Hearing Wang Ye say this, an old man with glasses, medium stature, but quite stout said excitedly, he is a member of the vehicle engineering project team, his strength and resume are quite strong and rich, he has been in FAW, in Yanjing Automobile Factory, in Jialing, responsible for Jialing's military-to-civilian related work, after retirement, I can't be idle, I heard that there is a need for re-employment here in Hongxing, and he came directly.
And the reason why this one is so excited is very simple.
Jialing was called the state-owned Jialing Machinery Factory before, and Jialing is actually a river name, just like there are still people who call the Red Star Consortium Laiyang Machinery or Laiyang Iron and Steel is a reason, in fact, Jialing in 79 years, it has begun to turn into civilian soldiers, they are the first batch, it is a very exploratory unit, unlike the Red Star Machinery Factory and the follow-up more than two hundred, it is already shit blocked to the door of the asshole, and it is not good to turn around.
It was at that time that the Zang worker was transferred to Jialing to assist in the production of motorcycles, and the slogan at that time was "raising the army with the people", because Jialing itself was more competitive, after all, the construction was completed in 75 years, and the equipment was relatively good, plus the Ministry of Defense of the Fifth Machine Department was not under much pressure at that time, and gave more support, so their motorcycles were quickly made, and they were called "Jialing Light Ride", with a displacement of only 50cc.
After working in Jialing for two years, after the completion of the light riding project, he retired directly, until the news of the Red Star Machinery Factory reached his ears, and then he came to the Red Star Machinery Factory again with the idea that he was idle and idle.
When I first came, I thought it was also a light ride, the kind with a 50cc displacement, but I didn't expect that after seeing the technical information and development expectations given by Wang Ye, the whole person was directly shocked, and then directly became a workaholic!
After all, for him, he has never done a motorcycle with a displacement of 300cc!
For men, who doesn't like a big one when he dies? Coupled with other car ideas proposed by Wang Ye, it directly opened up a new world for this old man, and he only hated that God could not give it another five hundred years, especially the six-wheeled six-wheel drive small off-road vehicle project!
At this moment.
Accompanied by the voice of this committee member Zang, an excited echo sounded in the workshop.
"Yes, it's better to ride than the Honda King, at least 10,000 times!"
"Hahaha, I don't think it's that exaggerated, the main thing is that we have a lot of energy!"
"Yes, I didn't even dare to twist the accelerator, it felt like the whole car was going to fly out."
"Our suspension is also more advanced than theirs, and it is comfortable to sit on, the same as a big sofa!"
"Hey, what's so good about little Japanese stuff? Let's Red Star card, how open! ”
"Especially our headlights, it's pleasing to the eye!"
In an instant, there was a echoing voice at the scene, it was obvious that they were suspected of Wang Po selling melons and boasting, and Wang Ye spent a huge amount of 39,000 yuan to buy one as a test car in order to accurately compare the top motorcycle Honda King in the current domestic market, that is, Honda CBT125 motorcycle.
After all, in this era, whoever rides the Honda King is tantamount to driving a Mercedes-Benz Maybach in later generations!
"In that case, why don't I take a lap?"
Hearing the noisy voices of everyone, Wang Ye pointed to the motorcycle and said, and then under the gaze of everyone, Wang Ye skillfully got into the car, started and then started, and finally rode out directly from the door of the workshop.
"Uh, where's the director?"
"I don't know! He can't be a fake factory director who came to steal cars, right? ”
"Haha, that's funny!"
Watching Wang Ye run farther and farther, everyone in the workshop who was originally smiling was stunned, and couldn't help laughing after looking at each other, while Wang Ye rode a motorcycle sometimes accelerating and sometimes slowing down, and came to the outside of the manufacturing plant workshop after a while.
"Defend the army! Come out! ”
"I'm looking for you to discuss!"
With a sound of "hey", Li Baojun rushed out after a while, and when he saw the big motorcycle Wang Ye was riding, his eyes were shining!
"! Director! That's too handsome, isn't it? Is this our motorcycle? ”
"At least 10,000 times cooler than the Honda King!"
Li Baojun, who rushed out, looked at the car under Wang Ye, his eyes were straight with envy, and then Wang Ye said:
"Get in the car, I'm looking for you!"
Li Baojun didn't ask himself to ride, and obeyed Wang Ye's orders, and then Wang Ye took him back to the workshop, and when everyone in the workshop saw Wang Ye coming with Li Baojun, they were even more confused.
Wang Ye parked and explained:
"Baojun, everyone knows each other."
"Now that our motorcycles and tricycles are ready for mass production, the next step is a series of vehicle tests and preparations for the launch."
"So I'm going to leave the sales to the young people in the manufacturing plant."
No one present had an opinion on Wang Ye's statement, anyway, they didn't understand sales, the young people were slippery, and the facts had proved that this group of young people was very reliable, so there was naturally no problem in handing it over to them.
"But I don't think I can sell it directly."
"So I'm going to do something big, I'm going to make a TV show! Baojun, you ride the motorcycle over there, call Jiaojiao, Zhang Yue, Lei Lei, Xiuli over, and the old factory director and others, go! ”
Hearing that Wang Ye was going to shoot a TV show, everyone present showed surprised and shocked expressions, they didn't understand what the relationship between selling motorcycles and making a TV show was!
Then Li Baojun rode away on three wheels in confusion.
In the expressions of everyone who were still puzzled and thinking, Wang Ye said to Committee Member Zang:
"Zang Gong, in addition to these two, how are the other three?"
At the beginning, Wang Ye identified a total of five initial products, namely large motorcycles, large three-wheels, small four-wheels, small pickups, and six-wheel six-wheel drive off-road cars, so in addition to motorcycles and three-wheels, there are three products.
Hearing Wang Ye ask this, Committee Member Zang stopped thinking about what TV program to do, and said with excitement on his face:
"The progress is very good, the samples have come out, but they are still tinkering with the commissioning."
"And I have to say, the plan you said is really good, practical, simple, and cost-saving."
"Let's go, let's take a look!"
Subsequently, under the leadership of Committee Zang, Wang Ye and others walked through the workshop and pushed open a door marked with a yellow sign, only to see that there were three samples in this workshop.
The one on the far left has nothing to say, it is a small four-wheeler, much larger than the big three-wheeler, which has reached the level of later agricultural vehicles, and the rear wheel uses a double row of tires, which is obviously a load-bearing vehicle.
But the two next to them are quite "outrageous"!
I saw these two cars, all of them showing a silver-gray metallic color, and the surface was horizontal and vertical, as if they were welded together one by one, and this is exactly the case, and the traces of welding can still be seen on the edge!
The pickup truck in the middle looks only about four meters five in length, while the one on the right is a six-wheeled six-wheel drive small off-road vehicle, which is also about four meters five in length.
"I have to say, factory director, you sometimes, that's really a golden sentence!"
"A car is not just an engine and four wheels, plus a sofa, which inspires me a lot!"
"What else is the problem of sheet metal modeling, since the lack of equipment, the process is troublesome, and the cost is high, it is better not to do it, anyway, we are working vehicles, what is the use of bells and whistles? Ha! ”
Next to him, Commissioner Zang looked at the product in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and Wang Ye next to him almost couldn't help but blush, because this was not what he said at all, he just used it for reference.
In essence, even if the consortium has been expanded and a lot of new equipment has been obtained, it still can't save up a car production line, even if you engage in a tricycle, pickup trucks and six-wheeled six-wheel drive small off-road vehicles are already serious cars!
But Wang Ye just wants to eat this mouthful, so he can only think of a way, in order to reduce the difficulty of car production, so Wang Ye said something similar, anyway, driven by practicality, as long as it can be used, no comfortable control is considered!
It is precisely because of this that the small pickup truck and the six-wheeled six-wheel drive off-road vehicle in front of him are quite similar in appearance to the cyber pickup truck of the old Majia Tesla decades later, because Wang Ye has completely given up the appearance design, which is too troublesome!
Moreover, the shell welded with steel plates can also add a certain degree of bulletproof ability, which black friends will definitely like!
