Chapter 870

Back in Detroit, baozixuan seems to have changed. Having been conducting business negotiations for so many days, I seem to have forgotten my job. Born as an engineer, he loves R & D.

I saw the boss in overalls and appeared in front of everyone. Engineers and technicians all think that the boss must have been comforted physically and mentally in Hollywood, otherwise how can he be so.

Detroit is also a big city in the United States. Of course, there are many gossip media reports that baozixuan dates beautiful stars with Chinese descent. Bao Shoufu is also a vigorous man. It's normal to fail to resist mixed race beauties. And he doesn't need to take the initiative to soak people at all. As long as it's a rumor, many girls will take the initiative to pounce on him.

Ignoring the complex expressions of engineering technicians, baozixuan organized the first discussion meeting of the new military vehicle. General new car R & D is generally divided into five stages.

The first step is to do a good job in the market research stage; The development of a brand-new model needs a large amount of capital investment of hundreds of millions or even billions. If it does not go through very detailed market research, it may be "floating in the water"; At present, there are special market research companies in China. Automobile companies will entrust them to make research on the needs, preferences and habits of domestic consumers, and clarify the model form and market goal, that is, price strategy.

The second step is the conceptual design stage; Conceptual design is mainly divided into three stages: general layout, modeling design and making sludge model.

The third step is the engineering design stage; After completing the modeling design, it begins to enter the engineering design stage. Engineering design is a process of detailed design of the whole vehicle, and each total component is sent to relevant departments for design and development.

The fourth step is the sample vehicle test stage; After the completion of the engineering design stage, enter the sample vehicle trial production stage and the test stage. The test of the sample vehicle includes two aspects: performance test and reliability test.

The fifth step is the mass production stage; In the start-up stage, the production process chain shall be formulated, various production equipment shall be in place, the production line shall be laid, etc. It takes about half a year to start production. During this period, the stamping, welding, coating and final assembly production lines should be repeatedly improved. Under the condition of ensuring the production process and the performance of sample vehicles, small batch production should be started to further verify the reliability of products and ensure that there are no major problems in small batch production for 3 months.

According to the general progress of forward automobile development, the time is less than 5 years. This is still relatively fast, otherwise it may take longer. However, because of the existence of baozixuan, many steps can be omitted. Moreover, before, heiyun car had relevant technical reserves, and there was no need to design the power system, power system and interior decoration.

And baozixuan had arranged the task before he left some time ago. Now let's look at the R & D Progress of each department and the overall effect of platform integration.

Black cloud group has the most advanced mainframe computer in the automotive industry and a more complete software system. As long as each department completes its own work, it can be integrated within the computer; It can be said that it is very convenient.

At the same time, market research can be omitted. After all, this is the technical requirement put forward by the U.S. military. As long as it is designed according to the technical blueprint of others, but it can only be high, not low. Otherwise, they are not even qualified to be shortlisted, let alone compete with other manufacturers.

At this time, the second step is also ready. The shape design baozixuan has come up with a plan. Senior technicians have finished making the sludge model, and the preliminary inspection and test have been completed.

Those who come here are engineers, and they also know the boss's work style. Everyone was wearing overalls and seriously waiting for the boss to make a work plan.

Seeing that the people's expressions were somewhat different from before, baozixuan smiled and said, "do I have flowers on my face! I still feel funny. It's all this expression. "

People don't know what to say. After all, it's the first time to see the boss's face so serious. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Don't pay special attention to the boss's private life.

Seeing the serious expression of the engineering and technical personnel, baozixuan turned the conversation and said with a smile: "have you all read the entertainment news? These newspaper reporters are really powerful. If it hadn't happened to me, I would have believed it myself. "

"As a man of science and technology, it's good to watch gossip news occasionally to regulate some emotions. But don't indulge in it; Don't take it too deep. When working, we should still be serious. If we can't get good results in our work, it's useless to say anything else. "

"You may have to work hard in the next period of time. We are short of time and have heavy tasks. It is necessary to complete the assembly of the engineering sample vehicle within half a month, and then fly it to all parts of the world for testing. "

At this time, an engineer said, "boss, the media are building momentum for GM and Ford. Isn't it worthless for us to invest so much? After all, the order will not be handed over to heiyun automobile. "

It's normal to have this idea. The last thing engineers and technicians want to see is to develop new products without a good destination. The development of new military vehicles by heiyun group was originally a good thing. But without orders, a costly project is doomed to failure. It is not conducive to the confidence of engineering and technical personnel, and even has an adverse impact on the professional resume of engineers.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "although it is basically unrealistic for the U.S. military to purchase black cloud military vehicles in large quantities, I'm afraid the world knows these. But what? The purpose of black cloud is to develop the world's most advanced cars and products with the most superior performance. "

"Whether the US military purchases or not is not something we need to consider. As long as the products are good enough and the U.S. military does not purchase, people in other countries are not blind. "

When Bao Zixuan finished, the engineer was very moved. The boss can even sell old military vehicles. Of course, there is no big problem with the new products developed by heiyun itself.

Baozixuan continued: "it's right to consider market factors. After all, the product development is to face the market. Can not be limited to one city, one place. Our military vehicles should be able to adapt to any regional environment. If we make the best of our products, customers will take the initiative to find us. "

"Without excellent products, everything is in vain."

Baozixuan made it clear that he didn't want the engineer to consider whether he had something or not. As long as they are at ease to develop products, this is the most urgent and important thing.

Steamed stuffed bun Xuan continued: "how's the oil mud model made?"

This rhythm changes a little fast, from the beginning of gossip; Then there is the market problem; Now jump to the sludge model. If you are not disorganized, your mind is confused; Then it is the super strong ability of thinking transformation. Obviously, baozixuan belongs to the latter and meets such a boss; It is also a challenge for engineers.

An old mechanic stood up and said, "the oil sludge model has been made and tested. The data size provided by the boss is very detailed, and there is no difficulty or challenge for our department. "

Baozixuan is very pleased to hear that it is not only the work efficiency, but also the confidence of the old technicians. When the black cloud group just took over, Chrysler left behind workers; But I don't have such confidence and working attitude.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the factory was half dead at that time. Workers, let alone improve welfare benefits, can hardly guarantee even the most basic wages. After heiyun took over, he not only raised the salary standard, but also paid enough overtime. The income of these old workers has tripled or even more. There is nothing unsatisfied with the standard income of the American middle class.

If you don't work hard, you will not only be sorry for the salary given by the company; I'm even sorry for my conscience. After leaving heiyun car, I don't have such a good life. I basically can't meet such a generous boss.

Bao Zixuan: "very good. How is the completion of the engineering design stage?"

If the sludge model has passed the test, the total achievements need to be allocated to different departments. Bao Zixuan, as the boss and chief designer, as long as the person in charge of the assembly is responsible for it.

The person in charge of the assembly is a middle-aged man about 40 years old, who used to work in jeep. After baozixuan acquired Jeep brand, it was reused. The main reason is the identity of the other party. He graduated from MIT.

The person in charge of the assembly stood up and said, "in addition to the power distribution system, there are still some problems, and others have been designed. The bus design required by the US military is very different from traditional cars. We need to develop the whole distribution system from simultaneous interpreting.

"It is expected that the whole design can be completed in three days. At present, it has been successfully simulated in the computer. It only took the cooperation of several factories to delay some time. "

"Hearing this, baozixuan didn't say much. He was quite satisfied with this progress."
