The next morning, Wang Ye, who had been on the train all night, finally arrived at Quancheng Railway Station.

Wang Ye had been taking the train in Quancheng several times, so he came to the exit with his travel bag in a familiar car, but surprisingly, before he came out, he heard shouts from outside that he had never heard before!

"Master! Do you sit in a sedan chair? Where are you going? ”

"Teacher! Are you going to the bus station? Fast! Get on the bus, it's going to be full, and when it's full, we'll go. ”

"Where are you going, little girl? I'm sorry, I'm not going over there, you ask them. ”

"It's full, let's go! Everyone pays a fee, five dimes per person! ”

"Why do you want five corners? I won't sit anymore, the big brother next door will only ask for four dimes, so I won't sit! Don't sit anymore! I only have four corners! ”

"Hey? Then get out of the car, I'm not going to wait! ”

With a burst of scolding and scolding, Wang Ye walked to the exit of the station, and saw that on the side of the road not far away, there were at least a dozen or so three-wheeled motorcycles produced by the Red Star Consortium, the kind with carriages, which were obviously soliciting customers.

Seeing Wang Ye walking out with two big bags, a middle-aged man in a padded jacket suddenly came over and asked with a smile:

"Little brother, where are you going? Let's sit in a warm sedan chair, fast and warm. ”

"Isn't it more comfortable than waiting for the bus or transfer bus?"

"However, because you have a lot of luggage, you have to pay one more person's money, and your luggage is as good as one more person!"

"Where are you going? Get in the car, right? ”

Hearing the voice of this middle-aged man, Wang Ye waved his hand and was just about to say that I will not sit and someone will pick him up, when he suddenly looked at the person in front of him and felt a little familiar, and the next second Wang Ye reacted, and couldn't help but smile and said:

"Huh? Big brother, you don't know me anymore? In the summer, they still sell atlases, and in the winter, they buy cars and start pulling people? ”

"Looks like business is good!"

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man seemed to take a closer look, after all, people who can grow to Wang Ye's height in this era are rare even in Luqi Province, and suddenly the middle-aged man sneered:

"Oh, it's you, little brother? Why are you on a business trip again? With this big bag and small bag, you have also made a fortune! ”

"I'm working with a few other brothers, and six people are working in three shifts."

"We're acquaintances, I'll give you a cheaper, where are you going? I'll take you alone's money, and put the luggage in the roof frame, count me as yours, don't need money! Let's go! ”

At this moment, Wang Ye looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there was a person guarding the tricycle next to it, who was helping to move luggage to the roof of the car, it was obvious that these tricycle owners, in order to pull more goods, plus the original roll cage was very strong, so they all welded the "storage basket" on the roof, so that the large luggage could be placed on it, and as many people could be pulled in the carriage.

After all, a person soliciting guests, there must be a person guarding the car, otherwise the tires will be gone in minutes, and the tires will be gone, and the cars will be gone!

Not to mention, if you run to the suburbs, you have to worry about whether you will encounter robbery, and even whether the passengers in the car will be evil, so two people sitting in the front driving position can just act together, and it is easier to scrape together money to buy a car.

Looking at these modifications, Wang Ye had mixed feelings in his heart, in the eyes of later generations, this must be an unsafe hidden danger, but in this era, it is a very normal operation, after all, decades later, in Africa, doesn't Ao Debiao want to drive a "Ford Raptor F150" to pull bananas? Didn't he know that it wasn't safe for a bicycle to pull a few hundred pounds of bananas? But there's no way! It's all a desperate way to make a living.

So what Wang Ye can do is to improve some safety guarantees as much as possible when leaving the factory, such as the roll cage, so that the carriage will not be deflated after rollover, and finally the whole car will become two-dimensional, such as auxiliary support wheels, to reduce the probability of overturning.

"To go or not to go? Let's go! ”

"It's basically full! He's too tall to sit down! ”

At this moment, the man guarding the car shouted, Wang Ye waved his hand to the middle-aged man next to him with a smile and said:

"I won't sit down, someone will pick me up, you guys go!"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, the middle-aged man showed a touch of pity on his face, as if he didn't get this order, and then he turned around and walked towards the tricycle, and at this moment, accompanied by a unique engine roar, a familiar and surprising voice came!

"Director! Director! You're finally back! ”

At that moment, the eyes of many people in the square in front of the station looked in the direction from which the voice came, and then instantly became full of astonishment and surprise.

And the most conspicuous thing is that in front of their car, there is a palm-sized red star logo!

"Is it the car of the Red Star Consortium? Hiss! It also looks so weird! ”

"Isn't it? I feel that the paint has not been painted, and it is still the background color of the steel plate! ”

"Don't you think it's weird? How do you feel straight, with an angular appearance, which is different from a normal car! ”

"Hey? There must be a special reason for people to design it like this! What do the experts think, can you know? ”

"And there's a car bucket behind the butt, do you see? You can sit in two rows of people in front like a jeep, and you can still pull goods in the back? What kind of car is this? ”

"It looks a little weird, but the more I look at it, the more I think it's a little better!"

At that moment, as soon as this strange-looking car appeared, it instantly became the focus of attention of everyone in the square in front of the station, after all, there were very few cars in this era, and you could see 212 jeeps normally, such a strange car, everyone has never seen it!

Later, under Wang Ye's gaze, I saw Li Baojun rushing over with two powerful young men, and when he saw Wang Ye, his face was full of eagerness and excitement, after all, Wang Ye had been away for more than a month!

"Director! Director! You're finally back! ”

"The big guys in the factory miss you, and my mother has been talking about you every day lately!"

Li Baojun, who ran over, said breathlessly, and then happily pointed to the strange car behind him and said:

"Our pickup truck was put out, and it happened to be tested recently, so we drove over."

"Pretty easy to open! The factory director hurry up and get in the car, it's cold outside, it's warm in the car! ”

Hearing Li Baojun say this, Wang Ye nodded with interest, as for the two powerful young men, they had already taken Wang Ye's luggage, and then put it in the car body, and the four of them got into the car and left, leaving only the people in the square stunned!

"That person is actually the director of the Red Star Consortium?"

"Hey, I've heard it's very young, but it's too young, isn't it?"

"That's amazing! It's so powerful at a young age! ”

"By the way, did you hear that? They say that weird car is called a pickup! ”

"Of course I heard it, no wonder I haven't seen it, it turns out to be a new model other than a sedan or jeep!"

"Hehe, I don't know how much it will cost to sell?"

In his ears was the chatter of the crowd coming and going, and the middle-aged man standing there was stunned, but he didn't expect that the target he encountered twice, this tall young man, was actually the director of the famous Red Star Consortium in Luqi Province!

At this moment.

The pickup truck was driving on the city streets, and the turning rate was directly full, and everyone's eyes were staring at this car with strange shapes and colors, and the three young people sitting in the car all put on a cold appearance without squinting, only Wang Ye looked left and right like a dirt bun, looking left and right, looking like he had never seen the world and never sat in a car.

"How? How many kilometers have you driven? ”

"How about the pickup truck designed by the factory director? Come on, come on, evaluate it objectively! ”

After a while, Wang Ye, who was sitting in the co-pilot and studied the environment of the carriage, turned his head to Li Baojun next to him and asked, Li Baojun looked very excited and happy, and said in a rather exaggerated tone:

"Director, you are really amazing! This car is so good, to be honest it is 10,000 times better than the 212! ”

"Don't say anything else, at least there is no air leakage in our car, and the air conditioner is also hot, there is a heating system under the buttocks, it is comfortable to sit and drive in winter, if you drive 212 today, I am wearing cotton pants, knee pads, windshields, military coats, and my legs are numb from the cold!"

When this car was designed, Wang Ye took this problem into account, the current 212 jeep is really not driven by people in winter, it is called a panic from the cold.

So this car, Wang Ye directly designed two versions, one is a high-end version, the sealing and comfort configuration is basically full, and the other is a low-end version, the sealing and comfort configuration is pure none, and it is not leaky, even if it is not leaky, this is a special model that is ready to be exported to the African region and produced for those fighters who pursue freedom and liberation.

"What about motivation? How's the motivation? ”

Then, Wang Ye asked Li Baojun a second question, Li Baojun smiled directly, looked left and right, and at this moment he had come to the outskirts of the city, and there was no one on the road.

"Director, you feel it all at once! Anyway, I haven't driven a sedan, so I don't know what the power of a premium car is. ”

"But it's definitely much better than 212!"

Accompanied by his voice, Li Baojun stepped on the bottom of the accelerator, and instantly accompanied by the roar of the engine, the car accelerated violently, and even felt a lot of pushing back!

Of course, this acceleration can't be compared with the family cars of later generations, but in this day and age, it is already good!

After all, this pickup truck currently uses the homologous water-cooled version of the rotorcraft engine, which is essentially a motorcycle-like engine, with a much higher speed than a normal car and quite abundant power.

In addition, although the pickup truck looks like silver on the outside, it is all thin iron sheet, and the inside is a frame, and the overall weight is not as good as a normal car, so the acceleration is naturally good.

"How does it feel to drive?"

In the end, Wang Ye asked another question, this time Li Baojun was much calmer, he knew that Wang Ye's problems were not for his own sycophancy, he should say that it was good, but if he should say the problem, he must also say the problem.

"Overall, it feels like that, not too good and not too bad."

"But at low speeds, the overall is still good, and the off-road ability is very strong, in the last rally, we pulled over and tried it, and the passing performance was very good, very suitable for driving in the wilderness."

"But the high speed is not good, as long as you drive a little faster, you feel that the grip of the whole car is falling rapidly, very floating!"

Regarding Li Baojun's statement, Wang Ye nodded in approval, after all, when this car was designed, Wang Ye did not really design according to the standards of the car, because the consortium did not have the ability to produce real cars, so the design of this car is basically equivalent to a big toy!

It adopts a very rare "true" mid-engine layout in the field of civilian automobiles, the engine is located under the butt of the second row of the cockpit and the junction of the cabin, and then through two propeller shafts, connecting the front and rear integral axles, and finally driving the whole car to move, this is a full-time four-wheel drive, in essence, the structure of those toy cars decades later.

The benefits of this are obvious, the overall passability is extremely good, the center of gravity of the body is close to the middle of the body is relatively stable, the utilization rate of the body space is very high, but the disadvantages are also very obvious, on the one hand, the high-speed performance is extremely stretched, and secondly, the vibration and noise will be stronger when sitting in the rear row, and the sound is also more enjoyable, after all, the engine is under the buttocks.

Wang Ye's reason for this design is also very simple, this car will be mainly for export in the future, for friends in Africa, vibration should not be a problem, can pull is an important problem, and in terms of their rainy season and dry season alternately, it is estimated that there will be no chance to run to seventy or eighty kilometers per hour, then the high-speed handling is not worth mentioning, and it doesn't matter whether it is stable or not.

The key is that after the heavy machine gun is placed in the bucket, the engine is close to the middle, and the whole car is stable, and the shooting is also stable!

But even if it is such a thing, it can make Li Baojun list a long list of places that are much stronger than the 212 jeep, causing Wang Ye to suddenly feel that maybe this thing may have good sales in China?

But if it is sold in China, this thing cannot be completely regarded as a car, and if it is attributed to a car, it may be more troublesome to have a formality problem, but it can be regarded as an old man's agricultural car, Wang Ye thinks it is a good direction, after all, Luqi Province is also an important production area for old man's music and agricultural vehicles after 30 years, and now it is not too much to do it in advance, right?

"By the way, has there been any big thing in the factory lately? Tell me about it? ”

Then Wang Ye no longer pondered the problem of this car, but asked Li Baojun to report the situation after leaving, and when he heard this, Li Baojun shook his teeth and said with a smile:

"Factory director, our V8 diesel engine sample machine trial production has been successful."

"Recently, the teachers of the graduate school are testing it! And they also gave you two surprises, absolute surprises, anyway, the first time I saw it, I was really surprised! Hahaha! ”

"But what exactly, I can't tell you right now! You'll find out when you go back, the factory director! ”

As soon as Li Baojun's words fell, the other two young people also nodded frantically in agreement, with an excited look on their faces, and Wang Ye's curiosity was aroused in an instant!
