#30 - Section: Three major parts of a car

Lu Haifeng had long known that Xu Zhilin and the others would be curious, so he brought a portion of the Audi design drawings he had drawn.

Undoubtedly, they were both stunned when they saw a part of the Audi car design drawings for the first time, because the car was too beautiful.

"Xiaofeng, you want to build a sedan," Xu Zhilin said, looking up.

However, this model is a bit similar to the Alto, but that model belongs to a B-class luxury car. However, this car is definitely not at that level, because the data is different. Paired with a four-cylinder 1.8T or 2.0T engine, this should be a civilian and affordable model, but what does T mean?

Although he hadn't seen it before, based on his many years of experience, as well as the body size and engine data marked on the drawings, this was definitely a car designed for civilian affordability, only the size was a bit large.

Lu Haifeng said: "You have already guessed it, this is a family car I designed."

"For this car, I have decided to establish a separate brand called Audi, specializing in civilian luxury models. Uncle Zhao, I will entrust you with the trademark registration."

"Okay, leave this matter to me, I'll take a trip," Zhao Jianhua said.

"Uncle Xu, please arrange for someone to make a 1:5 scale model. Later, I will send you all the information. You organize all the information and then have someone report it to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and strive to get it approved in the short term, so that we can enter the production experiment stage."

After a new car is designed, all the information needs to be submitted to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology for registration. After the approval is passed, prototype car experiments can be carried out. After the prototype car is produced, it is also necessary to do various experiments to debug the engine, gearbox and chassis.

Finally, after everything is mature, it can be launched on the market for sale. The complexity is definitely needless to say. A car takes at least two to three years from research and development to testing to production before it can be directly launched on the market for sale.

However, Lu Haifeng does not need to be like a car company. He only needs to produce according to the drawings and parameters purchased from the system. He doesn't even need testing, because all the test numbers of the data are in the drawings. As long as the approval is passed, then he can produce new cars and sell them directly.

"But, Xiaofeng, how can it work to directly enter the production stage without testing?" Xu Zhilin said.

"Uncle Xu, to be honest, all the data of this car has been tested by overseas research institutions. We only need to complete the modeling, and we can start work after the production line arrives."

Xu Zhilin was shocked. He still understood Lu Haifeng and knew that as long as he said it, he must have a certain degree of certainty.

"Since that's the case, then I won't ask. But there is another question, whose engine, gearbox and chassis technology are you going to use, Mitsubishi's?"

Compared with the three major components of other manufacturers, Mitsubishi's is not only technically mature, but also relatively the cheapest.

The three major components used by domestic car companies are basically all bought over and assembled after their own debugging, which is of course relative.

If a sedan sells for 100,000, the manufacturer's ex-factory cost is about 75,000, and the price for delivery to dealers is 90,000, and the rest is their own profit.

The manufacturer earns only ten thousand yuan per car. In addition to paying employee wages, they also have to pay the freight for transporting the car to the dealer. It seems like a lot, but in the end, the net profit is not much.

The cost of the vehicle, of which the three major components account for two-thirds of the total cost. This is still a low-displacement engine. If it is a large-displacement engine for a sedan, the price is even more expensive.

They work so hard to assemble cars to sell, but in the end they don't earn as much as those who sell the three major components. This is the disadvantage of not having technology.

"Foreign technology is not necessarily that good, so we don't need it. We will use our own technology," Lu Haifeng said.

Wow, as soon as these words came out, Xu Zhilin and Zhao Jianhua were shocked.

Use our company's technology? What technology does the company have? Don't you have any idea in your mind?

"Although I admire your courage, Xiaofeng, where does the company have technology? Although the country has come forward to purchase a castrated version of Mitsubishi's engine technology, we will have to wait until those state-owned enterprises have researched it before it will be our turn to get it," Xu Zhilin coughed and said.

He thought that Lu Haifeng was planning to use the engine technology that the country had bought, but it would take at least a year or two to get that technology, because those state-owned joint ventures would definitely conduct research first, and finally it would be the turn of their private car companies.

Zhao Jianhua's view was the same as Xu Zhilin's. He smiled at Huo Lu Haifeng and said: "I forgot to tell you that I have already asked overseas research institutions to build an engine production line and a gearbox production line."

"There is also a set of mature engine technology and a set of gearbox technology, and a set of chassis technology."

As soon as he finished speaking, after a burst of shaking tables and chairs, they both stood up immediately and looked at Lu Haifeng in shock.

Oh my god, an engine production line, and a set of mature engine technology.

A gearbox production line, a set of gearbox technology.

And chassis technology.

How did Xiaofeng get it back? How could those foreign companies sell this core technology to Daxia's enterprises.

"President Lu, is what you said true?"

The most excited person here was Xu Zhilin, because he had been engaged in automobile technology for his whole life, and he dreamed of being able to manufacture a purely domestic car with his own hands. Unfortunately, those foreign car companies guarded the technology to the death and would not allow domestic engineers to have any contact opportunities.

Lu Haifeng heard that Xu Zhilin didn't even call him Xiaofeng anymore, which shows that he was shocked enough. He said: "It's true. If there are no accidents, the engine production line and the gearbox production line will be shipped tomorrow for installation."

"Okay, okay, I will start not going home tonight. I will live in the company from now on, and no one can stop me."

After listening to Lu Haifeng's words, Xu Zhilin rubbed his hands excitedly, and then went straight back to the laboratory. It seemed that he really planned to live in the laboratory.

The next day, before work hours in the morning, Xu Zhilin and Zhao Jianhua were waiting at the door and notified all employees.

So now everyone knows that their boss is very resourceful and has brought in an engine production line and a gearbox production line, and there is also a complete set of mature technology.

This news shocked the employees. No one understands better than them what two production lines and related technologies mean.

This means that with this technology, they can get rid of the technological blockade of foreign car companies and truly have their own engine technology and gearbox technology.

And you didn't see Xu Zhilin, he will never go home without understanding these technologies, which made Xu Zhilin's wife think he was crazy and didn't go home. She found the company early in the morning, fearing that something would happen to Xu Zhilin.
