reborn industrial empire

In fact, compared to this tree-lined track, Jin Xiaoqiang feels that the new LaCrosse-shaped Qoros 8 is enough to meet the purchasing standards of an official car.

However, considering that the current national official car standards do not stipulate prices and displacements as they did in the past few years, the current government officials are very expensive, and they also like to ride in big cars.

Especially for senior officials at the provincial and ministerial levels, the Audi they make must have an "L" at the end. If it is not a luxury model, then it is obviously a disgrace to their status.

They don't care about the powertrain, how awesome the engine is, etc. What they care about is their identity and status. If they are traveling, if their car cannot reflect their identity, they will disdain it.

So after thinking about it, Jin Xiaoqiang decided to make this Boulevard copycat.

In my previous life, this boulevard was completely outclassed by Audi in the Chinese market. It could not compete with Audi in the high-end segment, and could not compete with the Camry and Accord in the mid-range segment.

Of course, this is mainly related to the fact that American cars have large displacements and consume a lot of fuel, which easily leaves the impression of being a gas guzzler.

And in fact, although the boulevard before the end of the year had a very obvious atmosphere of the Buick family, the dull triangular lights arranged in a triangle and the mediocre interior detracted a lot of points from this car.

Although it was not included in the purchase list of official cars, its appearance was indeed unflattering, which was hated by many senior government officials.

Therefore, even if it was included in the official car purchase list, there were still very few government officials purchasing this car. It was not until 10 years later that Buick launched the 10th version of the new Boulevard, changing the silly front of the car.

The lights make the whole car more pleasing to the eye.

But before we had no choice, the impression left on people was too bad, and Audi has firmly established the official car purchasing system, so although these 10 boulevard models look much better than before, their sales volume in China is

But we never talked much.

A model like the Shansai could be said to have failed in sales in its previous life. In fact, the pressure on Jin Xiaomo's heart was quite considerable.

You must know that even after this car was launched, its appearance has become much more chic and elegant, but its sales have not increased. This has a lot to do with their previous defeat by Audi's subordinates.

Once a company occupies a leading position in the market, it is not that easy to overthrow it. So although Jin Xiaoqiang copied the 10-model Boulevard model this time, and it no longer has so many defects in appearance, but he

In my heart, I was still uneasy.

This car may not be paid for by Chinese consumers in the mid-to-high-end market, but Jin Xiaoqiang’s intention is for government procurement.

As long as this car can be included in the purchase list and as long as the local government can purchase this car, no matter how much is purchased, it will more or less serve as a demonstration.

Moreover, China is an official-based society, and the situation of top-down effect is very serious. Once there is a provincial and ministerial-level unit that purchases this car, then someone below will definitely purchase Qoros models.

Even if you don't purchase this car, you will still purchase the Qoros 8 or Qoros G. The main purpose of copycatting this car is just to serve as a demonstration and take the lead.

You must know that although the number of cars purchased by the government every year is incomparable to the sales of family cars on the market, the title of government car purchase can set a good example for others to buy cars.

How did Audi gain a foothold in the Chinese market? Isn’t it just a demonstration role in government procurement?

Therefore, when copying such a car, Jin Xiaoqiang's idea was not the sales volume of this car in the market, but the number of government cars purchased. As long as government officials buy it, it will definitely have a certain impact.

Take the lead.

Even if this car is not a good buy, Qoros 6 and Qoros 8 are good buys!

And in fact, although this car has an appearance problem, it is not without merit. The nearly 5.2-meter-long car gives this car a golden ratio of front and rear load.

This makes this car have extremely strong stability and control when cornering at high speeds and driving at high speeds.

Moreover, this car also has its own unique skill, which is its super strong body strength. The ultra-high-strength octahedral front longitudinal beam welded by laser is twice as strong as that of ordinary models.

The high-strength steel body uses one-piece laser welding method, which greatly improves the safety performance of the entire vehicle.

Not to mention the rest of the car's comfortable and luxurious configurations, such as eight-way adjustable massage seats, six-way adjustable pillows, a 7-inch LCD screen at the back, etc., all of which are displayed

A touch of luxury.

Therefore, in Jin Xiaoqiang’s opinion, this car is definitely a perfect match for the status of a provincial and ministerial official!

As long as provincial and ministerial-level officials can pay for this car, will the various units below still open their eyes and pretend to be blind?

Even if they don't buy this car, there are still Qoros 8 and Qoros 6 for them to choose from. And the most important thing is that Jin Xiaoqiang quietly commissioned Naruto Shinyuki to get a complete set of them from Japan.

Laser welding equipment, you must know that these equipment have not yet been introduced to China.

Even if it can be introduced through other methods, the products that are introduced are products that have been used for decades and are several generations behind now.

The complete set of laser welding equipment that Jin Xiaoqiang introduced through SI is now the world's top laser welding equipment. In order to get such a set of equipment, Jin Xiaoqiang spent a lot of money.

The cost is almost 100 million yuan.

From laser mold welding machines, to automatic laser welding machines, laser spot welding machines, to the most advanced optical fiber transmission laser welding machines, Jin Xiaoqiang has developed a whole series of products.

The reason why I didn’t do much this time is that firstly, these machines are not easy to handle even in Japan, and secondly, in a few years, this thing will not be blocked on a large scale.

With the booming development of the automobile industry, those foreigners allowed these laser welding machines to flow into China. After all, this would bring them more benefits.

With these welding machines, Jin Xiaoqiang certainly wanted to try the one-piece molding technology. After all, the body of another Enclave model he developed also required this kind of laser welding to be integrally molded.

She handed the drawings to Wu Yun Gaowa and asked her laboratory to quickly make a car model. Don't ask about anything else. Wu Yun now has many apprentices, and the work efficiency has been greatly improved than before.

Moreover, what we wanted this time was just a prototype car, as long as it looked decent, so we concentrated our resources this time to get things done. In just ten days, a prototype car like this was completed.

The core of the car is of course Huayang Power’s most advanced ecoboos+powepshfit.

This powertrain is much more powerful than the so-called full-pot ecotec engine of the original Boulevard 3a.

Although the current displacement of this Miaoxi coboost engine is only set at 3.2l, this power core specially designed for leaders can provide a surging power of 280 horsepower, coupled with Huayang Power's po/ The acceleration of h is only 6.9 seconds, which is nearly one second faster than the acceleration of the original model.

These are all buying points. The reason why I am so anxious to get this car out this time is to take this car to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in Beijing to apply for the approval number.

Now relying on the big tree of Liu Yonghao, it is a piece of cake for any product of Huayang Power to obtain a batch number from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

As long as the batch number is obtained, the car can officially join the Qoros family and be unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in April.

After it was unveiled at the auto show, Jin Xiaoqiang didn't believe that such a "purely made, domestically produced car would not attract the attention of Chinese people, especially officials."

As for the pickup truck outside the nose, it is also prepared for civil servants.

It's just that this Amarok pickup truck, which originated from Volkswagen's launch in Sichuan, is certainly not prepared for senior officials. It is intended for provincial and municipal road administration, agricultural bureaus and animal husbandry bureaus, traffic management, or those who often need to run. Prepared by civil servants at the construction site.

At present, there are not many types of pickup trucks in the Tianchao market. Beyond Great Wall, there are several car manufacturers in Jiangnan that are manufacturing pickup trucks, and the one with the best performance among them is probably Great Wall.

The reason why Jin Xiaoqiang built this pickup truck was not to challenge Great Wall, but to satisfy domestic low-level civil servants and also to prepare it for export.

Before that, he copied Ford's Raptor F-150, but everyone knows that that model is very big and domineering, but the price is also very big and domineering, and not everyone can afford it. Started.

This is not the case with ordinary pickup trucks. You must know that there are quite a lot of places influenced by Americans these days, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other rich countries. Their spending power is also considerable, and their purchasing power is similar to that of Americans. Lifestyle habits make pickup trucks quite popular in these countries.

Especially Australia. Jin Xiaoqiang just returned from Australia not long ago, where he experienced the local car culture first-hand.

The best ones you can buy there are Japanese cars, and then there is the Holden brand owned by General Motors in China. As for European cars such as Volkswagen and Audi, they are rare. Rich people only recognize Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and others German cars have to be sidelined. Although there are supporters, the overall sales are still not very good.

Moreover, this trip to Australia allowed Jin Xiaoqiang to see the love of these Australian kangaroos for pickup trucks, so he developed a civilian pickup truck. After returning from Australia, Jin Xiaoqiang had already started preparations. !.
