Rebirth of the Evil Life

Marcos Mosley doesn’t understand why Jürgen Hubert and Lin Feng, the president of Mercedes-Benz, can reach an agreement so quickly. You must know that this not only involves an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, but also concerns Mercedes-Benz. It was beyond Marcos Mosley's imagination that the two parties could reach an agreement on the most advanced automobile production line in the world in just a few words. Although Marcos Mosley has been the president of the FIA ​​for more than ten years, he is well-informed and has never seen such a fast negotiation.

Compared to Marcos Mosley's surprise, Lin Feng was not surprised. Because even if "Mercedes-Benz" sells this car production line to itself, it will not conflict with the "Mercedes-Benz" market. The market orientation of "Mercedes-Benz" family cars is mid-to-high-end, and this production line can only produce low-end cars, and it is An extremely entry-level low-end car, there is no conflict between the two. What's more, "Mercedes-Benz" never hopes that Japanese cars will eventually dominate the Chinese market with this sales volume bet.

Chinese market! China has a population of 1.3 billion and about 330 million households. According to China's current development speed, it is entirely possible that in less than 15 years, there will be one car per household on average. That is 330 million cars. How big is this? A market. What's more, this is just the sales market, the annual car maintenance market, the car modification market, etc. After all, China can be said to be a gold mine in the global car market that has been exposed to everyone's eyes. It depends on who can Mining rights were obtained.

Therefore, "Mercedes-Benz" is willing to help Lin Feng this time and sell this car production line to Lin Feng. On the one hand, it is the general trend, not to mention that "Mercedes-Benz" will also obtain sufficient profits from this car production line. The second plan proposed by Jürgen Hubert is that the automobile production line "Mercedes-Benz" will be sold to Lin Feng for US$200 million, and "Mercedes-Benz" will be responsible for remodeling it to satisfy Lin Feng. To meet the needs of producing energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars, we also provide five-year after-sales service and bear all the costs of after-sales service. But correspondingly, for every car sold by this automobile production line, Mercedes-Benz will withdraw 0.5% of the profit.

For Lin Feng, this condition is a bit harsh, because in Lin Feng's view, this automobile production line will produce millions or even tens of millions of energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars, "Mercedes-Benz" A 0.5% increase for each car is a bit much, but for now, Lin Feng cannot find a better car company than Mercedes-Benz, so he can only accept this condition.

After bidding farewell to Mercedes-Benz, Lin Feng visited the World Environmental Protection Organization, the World Meteorological Research Organization, and the World Archeology Organization. All three organizations promised to release a report on global warming and energy conservation and emission reduction in the near future. As for why these three global organizations are willing to sell Lin Feng's face, it is very simple. Lin Feng promised to provide each of the three organizations with a sponsorship of US$10 million per year in the future to help them study issues such as earth change. Naturally, these three major organizations all agreed. Originally, publishing such a report does not violate their conscience. This is a fact. Why not do it!

One month later!

When time entered the early summer season, when Lin Feng came to "Shenlong Automobile" again,

Mercedes-Benz has modified, installed and debugged the energy-saving and environmentally friendly car production line ordered by Lin Feng at a cost of US$200 million.

"SS, you are so awesome. This production line originally cost the Mercedes-Benz Company 150 million U.S. dollars. Including this modification, it costs about 210 million U.S. dollars. It was actually sold to you for 200 million U.S. dollars!" German Deputy Minister Mark exclaimed.

Originally, Mark proposed that Lin Feng go to Mercedes-Benz to purchase a car production line, but that was just that. Mark himself did not have any hope for this. He had been recruited from Mercedes-Benz by Lin Feng with a high salary, and he knew the principles of Mercedes-Benz. With such an advanced car production line, "Mercedes-Benz" would never sell it to people. It would rather rot and never thought of selling it to Lin Feng this time.

Lin Feng smiled. This time it can really only be said to be a coincidence. If it weren't for its bet against Japanese cars, if the outside world didn't look down on Shenlong Motors, if it wasn't for Mercedes-Benz to have a rotten car production line in its arms, and if it wasn't for itself to be the richest man in the world, Mercedes-Benz hopes to be able to compete with itself. Establish a little relationship, and with so many opportunities and coincidences, I am afraid that Mercedes-Benz will never sell this car production line to Shenlong Motors.

"Director Lin, with this new automobile production line and our transformation of other automobile production lines, the company's annual production capacity can now reach 850,000 units!" Zheng Jie said with shining eyes.

Although the annual output of 850,000 units is still very immature compared to companies such as General Motors and Toyota, which can easily produce millions of cars per year, DPCA has an annual output of 850,000 units right after its establishment. The capabilities of the car are already quite gratifying.

Of course, for now, what troubles Zheng Jie is that all the current production lines of "Shenlong Automobile" can only produce energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars. As for other car series, there is no production line at all. This is undoubtedly quite embarrassing. The productivity is too single. Once the energy-saving and environmentally friendly car series is not welcomed by the market, or is not as good as expected, then "Shenlong Automobile" will really die.

When the factory was originally built, plus the purchase of automobile production lines and renovations, the founding capital of "Dragon Automobile" was 10 billion yuan, but it has already been spent. If future advertising expenses are deducted, "Dragon Automobile" will have liquidity in its account It is only for the company to operate for 12 months. If the car cannot be sold within 12 months, there is only one result waiting for "Shenlong Auto" - bankruptcy.

"Don't worry, energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars will definitely sell well!" Lin Feng said confidently.

Everyone on the side nodded. No matter what, we are now at a critical juncture, and we can only move forward and not retreat.

Three days later, the first energy-saving and environmentally friendly car officially rolled off the production line.

As the chairman of the company, Lin Feng was naturally the first to test drive. After leaving the company for a week, Lin Feng nodded with great satisfaction. Although this energy-saving and environmentally friendly car has a displacement of less than 1.0 liters, it can reach speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour, and at the highest speed, the body will never feel floating, unlike the "Chery" A low-end car series, once the speed exceeds 80, the whole car feels a bit floaty. Of course, the reason for such a strong contrast is the introduction of a brand-new technology, which is also the first and unique technology in the world.

This technology was of course invented by Solo and others, a top student at Harvard. When it came to the requirements for energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars, Lin Feng put forward several major suggestions: 1. Stylish and beautiful; 2. Good quality and low price; 3. Driving feel; 4. Rugged and durable; 5. Speed.

Regarding fashion and beauty, Lin Feng has issued an order. Once a car is produced, it must not give people a shoddy feeling. It must not be said that energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars are parallel-imported cars. Therefore, the appearance must not be worse than those high-end cars. Everyone is having trouble with Lin Feng's request. Low-end cars should look no worse than high-end cars, and moreover, they should be more distinctive. Isn't this a difficult thing to do?

After some deep thought, everyone shook their heads helplessly. Regarding Lin Feng's request, everyone asked themselves if they couldn't do it. I'm afraid no one in the entire automotive industry could do it.

"Director Lin, I think this request is still too difficult. After all, a low-end car is a low-end car, how can it look similar to a high-end car, or even better!" Zheng Jie explained to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng shook his head. The low-end cars of other automakers are not as good as high-end cars just in terms of appearance. That is the business of other automakers. However, the cars of "Dragon Motors" cannot be worse than high-end cars just in terms of appearance. Otherwise, its sales volume will be twice that of high-end cars. Affected. Now that no one can produce a car that can meet their own requirements, they should ask people outside the automotive industry to design it.

When it comes to design, Lin Feng naturally thinks of one person - Allegra.

"Allegra, long time no see, how are you doing?" Lin Feng greeted warmly. Due to the small relationship between himself and Allegra, Lin Feng has always been a little guilty of Allegra and has always been a little embarrassed to see her, so he rarely communicates with her. Whenever I contact Allegra, something always comes up. For example, the last time Lin Feng held a birthday party in "World of Warcraft", he used Allegra's connections to invite the world's top ten supermodels in the virtual world for free. It can be said that Allegra helped Lin Feng very much, but Lin Feng did not help anything except funding Versace with US$200 million in exchange for 20% of its shares when it was in trouble.

"Hmph, why, do you need my help with anything else?" Allegra snorted.

Lin Feng felt embarrassed.

"Can't I just call and catch up with old friends?" Lin Feng smiled awkwardly.

"Tch, my Mr. Richest Man in the World, you have gone to pick up girls when you have time. How come you have time to come to me? Tell me, if you need my help with anything!" Allegra exposed Lin Feng's lies mercilessly. Fake love.

"Well, it's like this. My Shenlong Automobile wants to design the appearance of the car. My requirement is that the low-end car should look similar to the high-end car, and it should be more distinctive. The designers in our company have the ability It's too bad to do, so I can only come to you, a master in the design world!" Lin Feng kept giving Allegra high praise.

"Humph, you are smart enough to know what I do. Lin, there is no problem with this. But I have a condition." Allegra said.

condition? ! Lin Feng was instinctively startled. What will be the conditions for this? You wouldn’t want to force yourself into marriage, right? ——I never do anything wrong in my life, and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door in the middle of the night. Lin Feng is obviously the kind of person who does something wrong.

"Tell me about it." Lin Feng agreed vaguely.

"Don't worry, it's definitely not what you think." Allegra was unhappy with Lin Feng's tone and said coldly and sarcastically.

Lin Feng helplessly laughed a few times.

"My request is very simple. You come to Milan with Zhiyou and the others on the 18th of this month." Allegra said.

The 18th of this month? Lin Feng thought for a moment, why did Allegra want to go to Milan on the 18th, and why did she insist on Li Zhiyou and the others going together.

"Lin, have you forgotten everything?" Allegra's voice suddenly rose an octave on the phone.

Lin Feng suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. This, this, it seems that I really forgot something. Why do you want to go to Milan? ——Lin Feng was quite confused.

"Humph, Lin, if you can't remember it, forget it. You don't have to use it. But I won't help you design the appearance of any car!" Allegra said and was about to hang up.

I have to say that Lin Feng really admires his quick wit sometimes. Whenever he encounters some problems or threats, at that critical moment, Lin Feng is always able to think out of his wits and come up with a way to solve the problem.

"Haha, Allegra, look what you said, I was joking with you just now. Isn't the 18th of this month your adult ceremony? You said it half a year ago, how could I forget it! By then I will definitely attend on time with Li Zhiyou and the others!" Lin Feng was sweating on his forehead. Fortunately, Lin Feng remembered at the critical moment.

June 18th is Allegra’s coming-of-age ceremony. Half a year ago, Allegra issued an invitation to herself, Li Zhiyou and others in a very formal manner, and this time she reminded herself that she was really thoughtful.

snort! ——Allegra hummed a few times, expressing satisfaction with Lin Feng's answer. But for some reason, Lin Feng felt secretly happy that he remembered his adult ceremony.

"By the way, who will be attending?" Lin Feng asked casually.

"Well, everyone in the fashion industry will probably come back, Pierre Cardin, some of the world's top supermodels will be there, and Mr. Berluscoli, by the way, my master will also be there!" Allegra said proudly.

"Your master?" Lin Feng was stunned. He didn't expect Allegra to have any master.

"Humph, you forgot, the car king Schumacher is my master!" Allegra said proudly.

Schumacher! ——Lin Feng’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

My own team will join F1 next season. The external hardware facilities and software are easy to implement and cost a little money, but the driver problem has not been solved. Moreover, the technology of "Dragon Motors" is definitely not as good as other teams for the time being, so the best racing drivers must be there to make up for the gap. If you ask who is the best F1 racing driver today, there is no need to ask - car king Schumacher. Lin Feng has been thinking about Schumacher, but he always felt that there was no chance to take action. Now, God has given me an opportunity.

"Huh, Lin, why are you smiling so weirdly? Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I have something to do. I will give you the car design you want within 3 days." After that, Alai Guerra hurriedly hung up the phone. Allegra, who is about to hold a coming-of-age ceremony and officially take over the Versace empire, obviously has too many things to be busy with.

Three days later, Allegra received design drawings from Milan. According to the three grades of energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars of "Shenlong Automobile", Allegra designed a total of three different styles of design drawings. The low-end ones give people a sense of simplicity and elegance. Although they are simple, they do not make people feel vulgar, but have a fresh feeling; as for the mid-end ones, they are fashionable, beautiful, and unforgettable at first sight. ; As for high-end car series, there is only one feeling - low-key luxury. The appearance is not eye-catching at first glance, but the more I look at it, the more I like it, and the more I look at it, the more graceful and luxurious it becomes.

And for every design drawing, Allegra comes with a variety of replaceable partial modification drawings. For example, in terms of appearance color, each model is equipped with four colors, representing the four seasons; each model also has small differences in appearance. The more masculine ones are suitable for male drivers, and the more feminine ones are suitable for female drivers. . It can be said that Allegra took great pains to design the "Dragon Motors" car.

"Dr. Lin, that's great! I didn't know until today that a car can be so stylish!" Zheng Jie exclaimed.

The rest of the people were also amazed. It turned out that Lin Feng solved a problem that was so difficult to solve in their eyes in only three days, and the solution was so perfect. It can be said that they are all eager to buy such a car immediately.

As for the appearance problem, it is perfectly solved. Of course, as for the favor that Lin Feng owed Allegra, he could only repay it by himself.

As for high quality and low price, that's no problem. The three cars developed by Shenlong Motors this time are low-end (less than 1.0 liters) for only 38,000 yuan, mid-range (1.0-1.4 liters) only for 58,000 yuan, and high-end (1.4-1.6 liters) only for 78,000 yuan. Absolutely good value for money. It can be said that it is definitely the most cost-effective car on the market.

As for the driving experience, Lin Feng hopes to provide the most comfortable environment for all drivers and passengers. Originally, everyone put forward many suggestions, but most of them were not satisfied. After all, this is an energy-saving and environmentally friendly car. The space inside the car is limited and it cannot be as comfortable as a luxury car. After all, space determines everything. But obviously, this definitely does not meet Lin Feng's requirements. If "Dragon Motors" cars want to surpass the sales of Japanese cars, they must strive for perfection. The driving feel is one of the keys.

Therefore, Lin Feng approached IKEA, the leader in the international furniture decoration industry. IKEA is fully responsible for the interior design of all "Shenlong Motors" cars. In the end, when the "IKEA" plan was put forward and a model was created for everyone to experience temporarily, it once again proved how wise Lin Feng's decision was. "IKEA" uses their decades of experience in the furniture decoration industry to make full use of all the space in the "Dragon Car" energy-saving and environmentally friendly car. Although the energy-saving and environmentally friendly car looks small from the outside, in fact, after you sit in it, due to the combination of various interior decorations and the design of the seats, it does not feel small at all. Its matching automatic ergonomic equipment allows people from the shortest 1.4 to 2 meters to feel a comfortable driving experience.

As for durability, don't forget that the deputy director of the production department is German. Although he is nominally the deputy director, he is actually the future director. Once Zheng Jie is promoted from deputy general manager to general manager, Mark will be promoted to director. Therefore, Mark proposed that we should not build cars like Japanese cars that disregard human lives. We should be able to withstand collisions and impacts, so the steel plates must be good. As a result, in the end, if we don't count the invention costs of Harvard top students Solo and others, the cost of all low-end cars is as high as 350 million, the mid-end is as high as 500 million, and the high-end is as high as 65,000 yuan. This does not include advertising costs. If we calculate it this way, the production of low-end cars will lose a little money, the mid-end cars will not make money, and the high-end cars can only make a little money.

If we count the invention technology usage fees of Solo and others, not only will we not make money, but we will lose money.

Therefore, at first, everyone had a verbal battle over Mark's proposal. After all, starting a company is to make money. Although "Shenlong Automobile" carries the hope of Chinese cars, it cannot continue to operate at a loss. This matter caused the managers to quarrel whenever they met, and they almost fell out.

In the end, everyone gave the decision-making power to Lin Feng, who would make the final decision. After thinking it over again and again, Lin Feng decided to use the German Mark's proposal to use good steel to ensure the safety of every driver and passenger. Although the company produces energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars, it is absolutely not energy-saving in terms of steel materials.

As for the problem of production costs, Lin Feng naturally considered it, that is, to get the goods directly from the source. To purchase iron ore veins, the cost can be reduced to the lowest.

The above three points are easy to solve. The real problem is speed. Although good steel has been used, it can greatly enhance the safety of drivers and passengers, but the speed cannot be guaranteed. For a car, if you want to speed up without floating, then its own weight must be increased, especially the chassis must be heavy. But once the chassis is heavy, the car consumes more fuel, which is definitely not energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Therefore, this problem has been bothering everyone.

Until Solo and others proposed a new idea-magnetic weighting.

Magnetic weighting! This is a brand new concept and a brand new attempt. Considering the speed of the "Shenlong car", everyone has not been able to find a perfect solution to this problem. By chance, when Harvard top student Solo and others witnessed the news of China's maglev train, they suddenly had an idea. Since it is possible to use the earth's magnetic force to levitate such a heavy train, can we do the opposite and use the geomagnetic force to temporarily increase the weight of the car to ensure that it will not drift due to the light body during high-speed driving.

After Solo and others tried and went to Harvard University for help, half a month later, after an accidental attempt, the "magnetic weighting" technology came out. Through this "magnetic weighting" technology, no matter how light the car is, as long as Cage's "magnetic weighting" technology is used, the weight of the car can be guaranteed in a short time without worrying about floating at high speed. Moreover, this "magnetic weighting" technology magically does not increase the extra fuel consumption of the car, and it also has a certain effect on improving the speed. Otherwise, how could an energy-saving car below 1.0 liters reach a speed of 120 kilometers per hour?

But it is very strange that the owner of this "magnetic weighting" technology does not belong to "Shenlong Automobile", but to Lin Feng. The reason is very simple. When Solo and others proposed to develop solar panel technology, they were rejected by many shareholders of the company. Solo and others were naturally unwilling to accept this. At this time, Lin Feng came forward to build a research institute with his own funds for Solo and others to study the projects they are interested in. Of course, Solo and others are still technicians of "Shenlong Automobile", but they are also researchers of "Linfeng Research Institute".

In "Shenlong Automobile", Solo and others are responsible for improving automobile technology, and in "Linfeng Research Institute" they are responsible for studying various projects they are interested in, such as solar energy, aerodynamics, and magnetic weighting. In short, they can study whatever they are interested in without any restrictions. And Lin Feng guarantees them enough funds.

And this time, this "magnetic weighting" technology was successfully researched in "Linfeng Research Institute". Its ownership naturally belongs to Lin Feng. However, Solo and others can enjoy 20% of the profit share for each car equipped with "magnetic weighting" technology.

As for each car equipped with "magnetic weighting" technology in "Shenlong Automobile", Lin Feng symbolically charges 100 yuan for the use fee.

"Everyone, come and try it!" Lin Feng got out of the car and opened the door with high spirits.

"I'll do it!" Zheng Jie jumped on first.

Rumble! -- With a burst of roars from the motor, the first energy-saving and environmentally friendly car flew out at lightning speed. 10 minutes later, it drove back at lightning speed again.

"Haha, so cool! It can really drive up to 120 kilometers, and there is no floating feeling. And I accidentally bumped into it just now. The body is so solid, far from being comparable to Japanese cars! I think only German cars in the world are better than us. As for the driving feeling, there is nothing to say, it is definitely not worse than "BMW"!" Zheng Jie said proudly.

Although the cars of "Shenlong Automobile" are not the most solid and durable in the world, you have to know that this is an energy-saving and environmentally friendly car. It has always given people the impression of being light and not durable. As a result, it has completely overturned this tradition. Don't you think this is amazing?

Then everyone took the test drive one by one, and they all looked excited after getting off the car. They are proud. This is a car produced by "Dragon Motors", but it is so excellent. The low-end price is comparable to mid-to-high-end cars (in terms of appearance and driving feel). How can they not be proud of it!

"By the way, boss, what do you think would be a good name for this car?" Zheng Jie asked.

Everyone looked at Lin Feng. Now the sedan is rolling off the assembly line, but it doesn't have a name yet.

Lin Feng thought for a while.

"Do you have any good suggestions? I haven't thought of any good names for the time being. How about calling the low-end one 'Dragon 1 Series', the mid-range one 'Dragon 2 Series', and the high-end one 'Dragon 3 Series'!" "Lin Feng said.

Everyone thought for a while and temporarily approved the proposal. I'll change it when I find a good name.

"By the way, boss, how are we going to promote it? Which celebrity should we invite?" Zheng Jie asked. There are many celebrities under Lam Feng's "Second Entertainment", so Lam Feng has the most say in this regard.

Lin Feng smiled strangely. Which star to invite? This is too petty.
