City: I, A World Car Overlord

After some explanations and discussions, Lin Fan officially decided on the V series of pickup trucks, that is, the V2 beggar...the basic version, the V4 universal version, and the V6 deluxe version.

After receiving Lin Fan's instructions, Zhang Kai and his team started the fighting mode. As a member of the Baolong Group, they came to the North American market. They were fierce dragons.

The structure of a pickup truck is different from that of a car. Because of the cargo box, the rear axle is relatively independent, which is different from any previous Baolong models.

So the amount of research and development work can be imagined, but don't look at Zhang Kai and other people usually laughing and joking, and some are not even formal, but once they work, all of them are desperate.

There are actually many reasons for the desperate effort. First, these people are young people, and they are all young men who graduated from mechanical engineering. Since they have chosen mechanical engineering, they naturally have a certain interest and hobby in this industry.

Secondly, Lin Fan gave them a very high salary, not to mention the salary treatment, which is several times that of the same industry in China, and Lin Fan has a car for everyone.

Although the ownership of these cars belongs to the group, as long as you work in the Baolong Group, the right to use is yours, and it is yours until you drive them until they are scrapped.

Moreover, Lin Fan threw a sweet jujube to these goods. After the V-series pickups are on the market, give them one week to play wherever they like, and they will be reimbursed at the highest standard of the group’s travel expenses.

This can make these guys happy. You have to know that this is in a free country. For them, there are not many opportunities to go abroad, that is, work and travel opportunities, including board and lodging, how many people are envied.

so.

Although Lin Fan set a very tight schedule for them, and even very inhumane, the boys were full of enthusiasm, and no one complained.

This can shock the original OBM R&D engineers who have modified and lifted the Q9 off-road vehicle to suit the free country market.

In a free country, there are labor laws and trade union protections. Generally, enterprises and employers strictly follow the eight-hour work system, and even overtime is restricted.

When they get off work, they are still working here. When they get to work, they don’t know when they have started working.

After they inquired, they learned that when these guys were working in two shifts and the R&D progress did not stop at all, the old people were even more shocked.

"Virgin Mary, are you going to die~~?"

"You are destroying your lives, you are committing suicide."

"What the hell are you working so hard for, to pay for overtime?"

"This is exploitation, this is squeeze, this is inhumane, and I want to have a serious talk with the boss."

However, Zhang Kai and others laughed, and pointed to Lin Fan who was asleep in a corner, wrapped in a blanket: "Now, the boss is there. Go talk to him."

this...

The old crooks are all dumbfounded. As big bosses of hundreds of billions, it is really unimaginable to stay up late to catch up with the employees together with the employees.

Lin Fan can only say that this was the case when Baolong's first electric car started to be developed. He didn't think it was wrong.

If you have to say why, it is because the empire did not have cars with independent intellectual property rights before, and because of the urgency of backwardness, it was hard to work. I don't know if this reason counts.

It is precisely because of this hard work that the Baolong Group has today's achievements, and in less than two years, so many electric vehicles have been built, and the models are selling well.

Only when they worked with Simmons to develop the M2 before, Zhang Kai and their R&D work was the easiest, because they had to take into account the feelings of these old crooked engineers.

Now, Zhang Kai and the others are working hard to complete the research and development task in one breath, and then happily go on the 7-day free country tour, relax and relax.

In fact, this is the case for every model in the past. No one has ever been in charge of it before.

The research and development of the V-series pickup truck is proceeding so intensively. Thanks to Deteri's complete industrial system, it is progressing very smoothly.

Detroit is a huge industrial city, and vehicle manufacturing and parts manufacturing are also quite developed. Almost all the R&D and production of spare parts can find suppliers here.

Even if some spare parts manufacturers are missing occasionally, Simmons only needs to get the design data from Lin Fan, engage in a bidding of spare parts, and publish it through the Automobile Manufacturers Association.

Then there will be a large wave of spare parts companies rushing to the branch to negotiate, and even for some precision parts, they will send product engineers to participate in the development of Baolong's new car.

The spare parts and the whole vehicle have been coordinated from the beginning of research and development. In addition to the profit-seeking reasons of free country businessmen, it also illustrates the fierce competition in the free country's spare parts production.

This makes the development of Baolong's new car smoother. This kind of fluency is hard to see in China.

When Lin Fan started to make A4 and subsequent models, if it hadn't reached a cooperative relationship with Guangqi and cooperated with dozens of spare parts suppliers under Guangqi, it would never have been so smooth.

But even so, there are still many domestic parts manufacturing that rely on imports, such as trip computer systems, electrical unit assemblies and other components, which are still under the monopoly of foreign companies.

For these high-tech auto parts, Baolong has to hand over part of the manufacturing and production of parts to these foreign manufacturers.

When Baolong came to the Free State Development Branch to develop and produce new models, he met many of the auto parts suppliers of the Tianchao Development Branch in the headquarters of the free country.

Therefore, any vehicle manufacturer is inseparable from parts suppliers. Lin Fan also sees the gap between the level of the domestic automobile industry and the (money-rich) free country from this aspect.

Apart from research and development, Lin Fan began to think about a very important issue.

Domestic automobile supporting production is too weak and very scattered, which is very detrimental to the follow-up development of Baolong Group.

If a large-scale automobile supporting production industrial base is formed, and domestic and foreign spare parts manufacturers are integrated, it will definitely bring great convenience to the subsequent research and development and manufacturing of new cars.

It can be said that Lin Fan came from a branch of China Development Bank this time, which can be regarded as an experience, and he has a clearer understanding of the current situation of the domestic automobile industry.

The so-called being born in trouble and dying in happiness, Baolong will still face great trials and challenges in the future, and it needs to change a little bit for the shortcomings and deficiencies of the domestic industry.

Because Lin Fan's goal is to be the global auto hegemon. To achieve that kind of height, in addition to constantly innovating new models, a complete automobile spare parts industry base is also indispensable. .
