reborn industrial empire

Chapter 236 Another classic is born

A week later, after working with Nick Reilly and Carl Stark, they left Nanyang with a contract to cooperate with Huayang Power.

Although both parties have certain dissatisfaction with some details of the cooperation, in the end this does not prevent the two parties from reaching an agreement and forming a cooperative relationship.

Regarding the Qoros series, although GM was very dissatisfied with the shares and profit stratification of the newly established brand..." But in the end, it had to agree to Jin Xiaoqiang's conditions.

Huayang Power also paid an annual agency fee of US$30 million for Huayang Power's other series of products to a sales company under General Motors to be responsible for sales in North America.

However, the pricing power still needs to be negotiated by both parties.

According to Jin Xiaoqiang’s estimate... “This part alone will bring hundreds of millions of profits to GM every year.

At the same time, in return, GM..."will transfer a second-hand production line with an annual output of 500,000 vehicles to Huayang Power for free.

It happened that GM wanted to close a factory in Oklahoma, so this production line was given to Huayang Power at a free price. It happened that this production line was the latest production line that was used after Kuangguo, so Huayang

In terms of power, it can be considered a bargain.

At the same time, in terms of cooperation with Qoros, GM also emphasized again that Jin Xiaoqiang must serve as the chief designer and general manager of this new car series. After all, although they value the Qoros car series, they value Jin Xiaoqiang even more.

Xiaoqiang is a very popular designer in the industry.

In their view, it is more beneficial to tie the talented designer Jin Xiaoqiang to their warship than to get the new car series Qoros..."

During the negotiation, Nick and Carl also visited the new car series designed by Jin Xiaoqiang for the Qoros model. They also visited the Qoros A (new Enclave) designed by Jin Xiaoqiang, as well as the old Qoros (new Buick).

g name)...and Qoros 3 (Yinglang) are appreciated by everyone.

The new model is very beautiful, which also proves the ability of Jin Xiaoqiang's talented designer, and also strengthens GM's confidence in cooperation with Huayang Power.

This is also the main reason why they have repeatedly emphasized that Jin Xiaoqiang will serve as the boss and designer of the new joint venture company..." Because they are more superstitious about Jin Xiaoqiang's design ability.

After Nick Reilly finalized the contract with Jin Xiaoqiang, he also gave Jin Xiaoqiang his own suggestion, that is, why Jin Xiaoqiang does not design a pickup truck model.

You must know that in the hearts of the American people, pickup trucks are vehicles that can go all over the world... and can do anything.

Whether they are farmers living in the countryside or white-collar workers living in the city, Americans have a deep love, obsession, and even worship of pickup trucks.

In this aspect, Ford's pickup truck is undoubtedly the largest pickup truck model in the United States. As Ford's mortal enemy, General Motors looks at Ford's pickup truck every year... It is already the top pick-up truck sales champion in North America.

I have been harboring hatred for a long time.

Ever since Nick Reilly saw the entire car series designed by Jin Xiaoqiang for Qoros, he has become convinced, or even superstitious, about Jin Xiaoqiang's design ability.

In his opinion, as long as this talented designer can design an outstanding-looking pickup truck for Qoros, equipped with the e+powers powertrain of Huayang Power that made a big splash at the Frankfurt Motor Show, then this

Pickup trucks are definitely going to be hugely popular in the United States.

It is not impossible to even overthrow the Ford F-series pickup truck, which has dominated the U.S. pickup sales list for decades, from its throne.

As someone who has experienced this, Jin Xiaoqiang will certainly not understand the status of pickup trucks in the hearts of the American people.

So after Nick Reilly and his entourage left Nanyang, he began to design a pickup truck, and this pickup truck was launched by Ford in later generations..." It was very popular in North America and has always occupied the market.

Ford Raptor, f15a, tops pickup sales list

When it comes to Ford's off-road vehicles, the first thing that probably comes to people's minds is Ford's F-series pickup truck. This F-series... was actually born some years ago.

It has a history of g years since its birth. When it was originally designed, it was just to facilitate the farmers and wealthy landowners working in the countryside to buy goods.

But I didn’t expect that the excellent off-road capabilities of this car series...and the large-displacement design, as well as the wide body design, made this car not only win the love of the majority of farmers... but even quickly won the

The love of urban consumers.

Ford also quickly realized this and quickly serialized this product, from F series to e series, from Qinq to Fwang)

There are dozens of models and two car models at the front and back... Although there are many types, it does not affect people's understanding of this car.

And even in the era of rising oil prices, the American people have never abandoned their pickup trucks. They may not buy Hummer or Land Rover... but they cannot help but buy Ford's Soleil pickup truck.

And Ford’s F-Series pickup truck has been the North American pickup sales champion since a year ago..." Annual sales are calculated in hundreds of thousands of units.

The Ford F-series pickup truck that Jin Xiaoqiang wants to copy this time is, of course, the latest 12th-generation Ford Raptor h-150 model launched by Ford in 2010.

I think that when this car was launched, it immediately caused a sensation in the North American market, and then it became a hit, continuing the glory of Ford pickup trucks in North America.

The powertrain configuration of this car is a 37L engine and a 5av8 engine configuration. In the past, it would be difficult for Chinese manufacturers to imitate such a model, mainly because of this and large-displacement engines.

, we can’t do that well. But now that Jin Xiaoqiang has developed Ford’s Chen Zhaoda engine in advance, all the problems will be solved.

Moreover, Jin Xiaoqiang also plans to lighten this model as soon as possible. After all, this guy's weight is really too big... "This will consume a lot of fuel. Even if Americans like pickup trucks, every car..." Yue also has to face that.

The bill was high, so in order to win the hearts of ordinary people, Jin Xiaoqiang decided to use the lightweighting that was later implemented by Ford..." This will also be more conducive to improving the technical content of the entire vehicle.

In fact, the reason why I chose to do this was because of the problems that this car had to face later..."After 2008," the economic performance of the United States has been very sluggish.

Although the American people still love pickup trucks, the rising gas prices have forced many people to tighten their wallets and live a prudent life.

The social issues of the American people changing their lifestyles have also affected the sales of this pickup truck in the United States. Although the latest 12th generation Ford F1 has been welcomed and praised by the market once it was launched, its sales volume is compared to

In the past, there was still a decline.

So later in the year, Ford had to withdraw from the new lightweight F1. In fact, it used a large amount of aluminum alloy to replace steel in some non-critical parts of the body, such as fenders, door panels, etc.

By doing so, the weight of the car was reduced by more than 300 tons, which greatly saved fuel.

Of course, Jin Xiao...qiang is not stupid enough to copy the entire concave body of the Ford F1. He just copied the general shape of the vehicle, and of course he will make it more harmonious and harmonious in terms of the front face.

Similar family design.

Fortunately, the front face of this Ford H-shaped car is already very aggressive and domineering, so all Jin Xiaoqiang had to do was make some subtle adjustments.

For example, the air intake grille was changed to a waterfall-type air intake grille that is more family-like and Qoros-like, and corresponding changes were made to the headlights, making the entire model..." It looks more domineering and grand.

Just two weeks after Nick Reilly and the others left Nanyang, the sketch of this new pickup truck, the latest model of the Qoros family, was already born on the drawing board in front of Jin Xiaoqiang.

But this is just a sketch. It may take some time to turn the entire car from a sketch into reality, and because this car is too overbearing in size, it is completely different from other models, so

Jin Xiaoqiang had to redesign the chassis for this car.

This is also the first time that Jin Xiaoqiang has tried to design such a domineering car. To be honest, he himself feels that it is extremely exciting.

Fortunately, in my last life, when this car was first launched on the market..." Several models and second-generation people in Beijing couldn't wait to order a few units from the United States.

These second-generation people also happened to be Jin Xiaoqiang's old customers, and their relationship was very suspicious, so Jin Xiaoqiang was fortunate enough to be invited by them to taste this huge road monster.

As a pure technical person, Jin Xiaoqiang was fascinated by its domineering appearance when he saw such a car..." Then of course he shamelessly pestered the second-generation people to make him feel good.

In the past few days, I also studied this car thoroughly.

It was precisely this kind of close contact with friends that gave Jin Xiaoqiang an extraordinary understanding of this car, especially its chassis.

The non-load-bearing body "leaf spring" and the overall axle suspension ensure the vehicle's rigidity and good passability, coupled with the expensive slit four-chamber shock absorber from F, it is even more

It has become the finishing touch of the entire chassis, making this car with a huge body and weight feel as if it is walking on flat ground when passing on non-paved roads.

And this time when Jin Xiaoqiang is in the territory of the behemoth of Shanzhai..." Of course he will not let go of these selling points!

After Wu Yungaowa saw Jin Xiaoqiang's latest design, he could only feel a little speechless. Needless to say, another classic seems to be born soon.
