Chen Shaojie asked. He felt that with the current situation of Bailong Motors, there was no need to establish a branch factory. It was a waste of resources.
If you want to establish a branch factory in a southern city, Tianhuo Technology, which has just surfaced, is the best choice.
The role of southern coastal cities in new energy vehicles is self-evident. They can land in Guancheng early and compete with BYD for official favor in advance.
Tianhu City is still too backward and has little reputation. Although the leadership team fully supports it, it is not as influential as a quasi-first-tier city like Guancheng.
Lu Beifeng said with a smile: "Of course it's Tianhuo. From now on, Bailong Motors will retain some of its related businesses, and all the company's focus will shift to Tianhuo Technology."
"I know what to do." Chen Shaojie pondered for a long time and exhaled a long breath.
He built a company that he personally participated in the design of appearance and style, and I am afraid that it will be completely reduced to an empty shell in the future.
Although he had known that it was a trial work, he had once devoted himself wholeheartedly to it. He could not be as ruthless as Lu Beifeng, who said he didn't want it and just didn't want it.
But he should get used to it.
Lu Beifeng continued to ask: "How is the design of Tianhuo Technology's first new energy vehicle?"
Chen Shaojie was looking through the information, and after a while he said: "According to the original goal, one SUV will be a hybrid, and one pure electric car will be a sedan."
"I will send the appearance concept drawing and various parameters to Assistant Zhang's work email later. You can see what needs to be improved..."
"If there is no problem, the chassis design will be carried out according to the strength of this model."
"Two new energy vehicles have two different styles, and people in the design department can't argue."
"I can't make up my mind for the moment, so I think I'd better let you make the choice."
Lu Beifeng smiled and expressed his interest: "Okay, I'll take a look at it later."
After finishing the conversation with Chen Shaojie, Lu Beifeng called Zhao Zhiming. The public opinion momentum was almost the same, and the finishing work could be carried out. Let Tianhuo Technology appear in the public eye again with a positive image.
Not long after, Zhang Jiali knocked on the door and came in, holding a computer on her chest.
Chen Shaojie has sent the concept drawing of the car and various parameters to her work email.
Each luxury car has its own distinctive appearance. For example, BMW’s kidney grille, Mercedes-Benz’s eagle-eye headlights, and Audi’s large-mouth grille.
Naturally, Tianhuo Technology will not lag behind others. It is different from Bailong Automobile's simple bun style and innovative convertible style.
The appearance of Tianhuo's first car is extremely imaginative. Husky's three fires are not only the car's logo, but will also become their unique appearance features.
Chen Shaojie said that people in the design department were arguing about the design of the air grille on the front of the car.
Mainly divided into two parties.
One side says that new energy must abandon all the characteristics of traditional cars, and the air grille is one of them. Without an internal combustion engine, what is the use of an air grille?
For example, with the Maodou 3, Tesla has given up on the air grille. Are we still stubborn?
The other side says that new energy vehicles without air intake grilles are inferior and backward designs!
Take the Edamame 3 as an example. It has no air intake grille, no front face, and no obvious recognition. It is definitely a major design mistake.
In this age of looking at faces, a car without an air grille is equivalent to wearing a mask.
people wearing masks,
Will others still find it pleasing to the eye?
Pure electric vehicles do not require an engine or air cooling, but the vehicle also has other electronic equipment. As the functions of the vehicle become more and more abundant and the equipment becomes more efficient, there will naturally be a need for cooling.
Air grilles should not be abandoned.
The two sides were at loggerheads,
The father-in-law said that the father-in-law was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right.
Until it was handed over to Lu Beifeng, no party could convince the other party, so Chen Shaojie said to let him decide.
Lu Beifeng crossed his legs and scratched on the tablet, looking at the difference between cars with and without air grilles. He looked up at Zhang Jiali with a smile and asked, "Which one do you think looks better?"
Zhang Jiali pointed to the car that retained the air grille: "This one looks good. A car without an air grille looks like a middle-aged bald man without hair."
"This metaphor is really vivid."
Lu Beifeng laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. After a while, he said: "The function of the air grille is actually not important."
"I more agree with the designer's point of view to strengthen brand awareness and brand recognition."
"If you blindly follow Tesla's footsteps, you won't be able to surpass him."
After some thought, he decided to adopt a design that retained the air grille. For high-end cars, brand recognition is very important.
When a new car comes on the market, the biggest fear is that it will be ignored by everyone.
The three-fire grille style will become one of the main features of their future cars.
The car's appearance adopts an all-electric intelligent design. The front and rear door handles and rearview mirrors all automatically retract into the body when the car's motor is turned off.
All the gaps in the car body are perfectly integrated and natural, and the lines of the whole car are smooth, like a bullet.
It adopts frameless door glass, panoramic sunroof, and simulated panoramic sunroof.
The body length reaches 4.85 meters and the width reaches 1.8 meters, reaching the longest C-class body length on the market.
It is enough to satisfy the Chinese people’s car buying concept that longer is better and bigger is more beautiful.
In terms of interior, the level of luxury and comfort is on par with Mercedes-Benz.
As for Tesla’s simple style, it’s better to leave it to Tesla owners to enjoy it slowly.
Most car buyers value a good-looking car that is comfortable to sit in and drive.
Technology is people-oriented, and its purpose is to make people's lives more comfortable.
The simple style is the same as Apple’s environmental protection concept.
He talks about doctrine, but his heart is all about business.
Car buyers spend money, but they feel uncomfortable while pretending to be simple and classy.
Lu Beifeng especially despises this kind of people.
If he dares to do this to those luxury cars in his garage that cost millions or even tens of millions, he will definitely throw money into the faces of those car companies in a matter of minutes.
In terms of motors, after constant spending money on research and acquisition of scientific research teams, it only takes 2.1 seconds to go from zero to 100%.
If there is no safe speed limit, the fastest speed can reach 330 kilometers per hour.
The battery uses the latest ternary lithium battery from the Jude era, with a battery life of up to 800 kilometers.
After many studies on fast charging technology, secondary improvements have been made to the original charging interface to make it more suitable for new charging technologies.
The 800-hour lithium battery only takes 35 minutes to fully charge. Such charging efficiency is enough to beat all peers in the industry.
As for other SUV hybrid models, the motor parameters are similar. It takes three seconds to go from zero to 100 km, and the range is only about 400km.
Now it can be said that everything is ready, all that is left is a high-quality chassis to carry these functions.
Lu Beifeng knew that this matter could not be rushed, but when he called Chen Shaojie to confirm the appearance and style, he couldn't help but ask more questions.
Chen Shaojie is also not sure: "It can take a few months in the shortest time, or three to five months in the long time."
Boss Lu was really itching and suggested: "Don't consider the cost of the chassis of the sample car. Build it first and think about suitable replacement materials later."
A special explanation: "You can submit it for approval as soon as the sample car comes out, so as to avoid too long delays."
Chen Shaojie couldn't help laughing and let out a long sigh: "I thought you wanted to experience it first."
Lu Beifeng said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
It is my duty as a guinea pig to build my own car.
