Thanks to Xiao Zhu Xingzhe, Bao Ge I, and the standers for speaking without back pain, and Bo Bo for the reward.

These two fake models are not enough for Jin Xiaoqiang.

If you want to become a world-famous car company, how can you only have a few models?

You must know that the truth that is difficult to reconcile is not only true in China, but also in other countries in the world. As a conscientious person who wants to make China's automobile industry bigger and stronger.

Jin Xiaoqiang is not just looking at China's automobile market with short-sightedness. His eyes can be said to be looking at the world. There are many consumers in this world.

Even if there are only a quarter of the potential capable consumers, there are still more than one billion potential consumer groups. By then, he only needs to grab a small piece of these people, which will be enough for Jin Xiaoqiang to develop.

.

In fact, as far as Jin Xiaoqiang himself is concerned, compared to those of family cars or urban SUVs, he prefers hard-core SUVs that are more rigid, have large space, and have strong passing capabilities.

Hardcore SUVs refer to cars that generally use a non-load-bearing body.

With the development of the automobile industry to this day, with the continuous strengthening of scientific and technological research capabilities, earth-shaking changes have already taken place in the body models of automobiles.

As early as a few decades ago, cars generally used non-load-bearing bodies. Now, with the advancement of human smelting technology, ordinary family cars and urban SUVs have already adopted load-bearing bodies.

The main difference between a load-bearing body and a non-load-bearing body is that there are no beams and no rigid frame, which means that the front, side walls, rear, floor and other parts of the car have been strengthened.

In this way, the weight of the load-bearing body is much smaller than that of the non-load-bearing body. In this way, the body is also much lower, which is more in line with the principle of aerodynamics, and its own fuel consumption is also better than that of the non-load-bearing body.

The body of the car is small and it will feel very comfortable to drive.

This kind of body is generally used on the bodies of cars and urban SUVs, and it is a relatively popular body structure on the market.

The non-load-bearing part is the body. Because there is a rigid frame at the bottom, the weight of the whole vehicle will be much greater, and the body is also relatively high. It will be noisy to drive and consume high fuel consumption.

However, in terms of safety performance and ability to pass on bad roads, it is not comparable to cars using a load-bearing body structure.

Generally, this kind of body structure is used on hard-core SUVs, trucks, and buses.

In the SUV market, SUVs that use a non-load-bearing body structure are generally called hardcore SUVs. The most typical representatives of these are muscle cars such as the Hummer.

As a man, there may not be many people who dislike muscle cars like Hummer.

Although he looks square and has no streamlined beauty, his fierce appearance, strong power, and ability to pass unimpeded on any bad road surface are still attractive to any car enthusiast.

longed for.

In China, there are many bad roads, so there are many cars using non-load-bearing body structures. However, with the popularity of roads and the construction of highways all over the country, there are more and more cars using load-bearing bodies on the market.

The more.

At present, in addition to trucks and buses, there are also automobile factories in China that are manufacturing non-load-bearing body structures, that is, the only ones left are Great Wall and a few others.

If Jin Xiaoqiang wants to get involved in the SUV market, he can't just make urban SUV models, he also has to take into account hardcore SUV models.

In fact, as early as when the idea of ​​making an SUV model came up, there were already two car models that entered Jin Xiaoqiang's field of vision.

One of them is the BAIC b40, which BAIC once wanted to launch on the market in later generations, but was unable to launch it.

The other one is the 2013 five-door Wrangler launched by American Jeep.

In fact, the first foreign-invested SUV introduced to China was the Jeep Cherokee introduced by BAIC. After that, the Americans successively introduced the Wrangler and Compass to the Chinese market.

The Wrangler became famous all over the world after the Tomb Raider starring the sexy thick-lipped beauty, Angelina Jolie.

That boxy small off-road vehicle once set off a craze for hard-core SUVs in the international off-road vehicle market.

However, as the U.S. economy declined, oil prices became higher and higher, and people paid more and more attention to issues such as energy conservation and emission reduction. Those hard-core SUVs gradually faded out of people's sight.

But within a certain range, such models still have a large audience.

BAIC's b40 was originally a copy of Jeep's Wrangler series. It was born in 2008. It is a new model that BAIC plans to promote to the market after BAIC ends its cooperation with Jeep.

Originating from the Wrangler's lineage, it has a square appearance. However, BAIC has made slight adjustments to the car's air intake grille and re-optimized the headlights, making it still quite different from the Wrangler.

the difference.

At least when it comes to the modification of the lights of this car, Jin Xiaoqiang thinks they are much better looking than the silly round head bulbs of the original Wrangler.

As for the 2012 Wrangler, which is the Wrangler Sahara version, it is actually just a facelift surgery on the original three-door version, turning the original three-door version into a five-door version.

Unfortunately, BAIC's b40 plan ended up being aborted. In 2008, their b40 participated in many auto shows and once caused a sensation among the majority of off-road enthusiasts.

At that time, everyone was eagerly waiting for the birth of this car. Some even said that as long as this car comes out, everyone will accept it even if it costs 150,000 yuan. You must know that domestic cars at that time did not have any advanced engine and transmission technology.

Under such circumstances, few would dare to sell it at this price.

It's a pity that the appearance of this car is too similar to the Jeep Wrangler, and the Americans also held a grudge because BAIC terminated their cooperation with them and turned to join hands with Hyundai.

At one point, we started to build relationships with China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and went all over the place for public relations. In the end, BAIC's B40 model was stuck, and it was still unable to obtain the birth certificate.

You must know that although they have a car production catalog, before each new model goes on sale, it must be reported to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and then it must be approved by a series of departments such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Public Security before it can be produced.

In the end, because of the Americans' stumbling blocks, this car was not born until Jin Xiaoqiang traveled through time. In Jin Xiaoqiang's opinion, the model of the car was definitely in line with the aesthetic views of the Chinese people.

Now that he was reborn, how could he not get rid of the car that was once his favorite model?

You must know that BAIC and DaimlerChrysler are closely involved in the integration, and Jeep's Cherokee is also produced in China.

The cooperation between the two parties was terminated in 2007. Now that I have come to imitate the Wrangler, I believe those people have nothing to say.

After all, this is the case in the car manufacturing industry around the world. Many car companies started by imitating other famous brands.

For example, Toyota started by imitating Ford, Hyundai started by imitating Mitsubishi and Toyota, and even among the so-called major manufacturers in Europe and the United States that emphasize intellectual property rights, which one did not start by imitating?

This trend remains the same even today.

For example, after Mazda launched the new 626, it led automobile companies around the world to imitate the Mazda 6's eagle-eye headlights and streamlined appearance...

Since everyone is imitating each other, then no one should criticize the other. It is really meaningless to laugh at the same time.

Moreover, Jin Xiaoqiang intends to imitate this car, and he is not going to copy it entirely. He still plans to modify the body, lights, and recently the grille. To be honest, he always believes that the modified model will be better than the original Wrangler.

Much prettier.

Anyway, a copycat car is a copycat, and several copies of a copycat car are all copycats, not to mention that these models have not yet been born. In this world, these models were born in the hands of Jin Xiaoqiang, and they are his original works.

Jin Xiaoqiang is determined to carry out the copycat business to the end. He wants to make those unsatisfactory state-owned enterprises and those black-hearted foreign car companies have no way to go in China.

With a plan in mind, Jin Xiaoqiang immediately started to take action. In just a few days, he designed the Octavia model, and the interior was also designed. However, the clay model of the car's body was designed by him.

Not intending to do it himself, he left it to Wang Guoqiang and others to do it.

After all, he has recruited more than 300 graduates from famous universities majoring in automobiles from all over the country. Now is the time to give them the opportunity to hone their skills. He does not want them to wait for three years or longer before they can personally

Participate in the vehicle design and development of a vehicle.

Giving them a chance and training earlier is not necessarily a bad thing in Jin Xiaoqiang's opinion.

As for the clay model of the Hyundai ix35 body, he could only do it himself. After all, with such a streamlined body and a very visually impactful clay model of the body, he is currently the only one in the entire car factory.

Good at.

Other people's concepts are still at the concept stage of mediocre models and boxy box cars.

After working in the studio for more than ten days in a row, Jin Xiaoqiang was eating, drinking, and having sex here. In Alice's opinion, he was already obsessed, but when he saw the 1:1 clay model of the car's body,

, Alice once again exclaimed a few times, this car is really beautiful.

The only thing Alice feels now is that she is so lucky to be able to keep up with such a talented boss.

The clay model of the car body was completed, and it was mid-December. Jin Xiaoqiang felt that he should ask Wang Jiao how the acquisition of the car factory was going.

But when he just returned to his office and planned to call Wang Jiao over, he found that Liu Mei had actually arrived...
