Chapter 203： own car

After communicating with Martin Griff and Romansky, Bao Zixuan came to the Detroit Black Cloud Factory the next day. It's only been a few months, and now the two auto plants in Heiyun have changed considerably from the Chrysler era.

John Chambers was a great man who was in charge of the world's largest company by market capitalization in his previous life, and now he only manages two factories. Not a single worker was dismissed, but just through personal ability to make workers obedient.

Now the Heiyun Automobile Factory has installed a large number of automation equipment, and many workers who cannot operate it are studying hard. They cherish the job very much, seeing the cars that come out of the factory look so beautiful and perform so well. With their years of experience in car production, everyone felt that it would definitely sell well.

Especially the Black Cloud 1 Series sedan, this car has achieved the ultimate in terms of appearance and fuel economy. It will definitely support the sales of Heiyun Automobile for 20 years in the future.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "John, how is the test of this car now?"

John Chambers used to be a layman in the auto industry. That is to say, the level of driving, but during this period of time, he has supplemented a lot of car knowledge, and every day he discusses car issues with engineers in the factory, which can be regarded as the top half of the experts.

John Chambers: "Boss, now we have obtained the safety certification from the North American Automobile Association, and also obtained the road permit certificate. Now these cars are sold without any problems, just waiting for the new car to be released on a large scale. "

Originally, the speed was not so fast, but when the acquisition agreement was signed, Bao Zixuan approached the American Automobile Association and the road safety department through relationships to make special explanations on a series of issues in the development of new models. The two U.S. agencies that approve cars on the road and for sale have also pledged to take due care of Black Cloud Motors without violating principles. At the same time, they also believe that the Black Cloud Group can produce cars that meet safety requirements. After all, the foundation of the car factory is Jeep and Dodge. However, American car companies that can produce military vehicles have no problems with technical reserves at least.

Bao Zixuan: "What's the fastest speed of the Black Cloud 1 series car now?"

John Chambers: "Our car has 4 levels. The fastest Black Cloud 135 series can reach 186 kilometers per hour. If the speed is increased, the whole body shakes very much."

Bao Zixuan felt relieved when he heard that he could reach a speed of over 180 km/h. This speed can definitely meet the needs of most customers for speed.

Bao Zixuan: "What about the cost! What is the cost of our current car?"

John Chambers: "Range from $12,000 to $20,000. The cheapest 120 series costs $12,000, and the most expensive 135 series costs about $20,000. Mainly the engine and the interior. The difference in decoration configuration, others are standard parts used, which can be used in common use.”

Bao Zixuan: "There are several colors of the body now."

John-Chambers: "5 colors, in addition, customers can customize the color and seat cover according to their own preferences. We will charge different customization fees according to the corresponding material."

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan knows that capable people are the same everywhere. In just a few months, John Chambers has been able to start a car company. This learning ability and management ability are really not ordinary people. It seems that the time to dig out the great talents of the previous life is ripe. At present, it seems that the Black Cloud Group has the ability to compete with other companies for high-end talents.

Bao Zixuan couldn't hold back his excitement, so he personally took the driver's seat of the Black Cloud 135 series. It’s still the same as the previous BMW’s handling. Whether it’s starting or braking, it’s all in place. The only difference is that the sound of the engine is very different. At low speeds, the sound of the engine can hardly be heard because the motor has already started to work. There is almost no need for a gasoline engine to provide power, so although the horsepower of this car is not as good as that of the previous BMW 2013, the engine's fuel-efficient state can throw the other side for several streets.

In the limit test, only about 4 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers are required, which is a very remarkable achievement. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the previous Toyota engine was only 3.7 liters, mainly because the increase in body weight and the processing capacity were not as good as those of 1997.

However, under Bao Zixuan's training, the generator and battery pack are much better than in the previous life, which makes the battery use more time. This is also a big improvement. Toyota is so embarrassed to want to use this engine in the future; it can only pay royalties to Heiyun.

Then Bao Zixuan went to the Jeep factory again. Now that the Grand Cherokee and the Compass have passed the test, they are all waiting for the launch of the new car. The Black Cloud Group signed up relatively late this time, while Jeep and Dodge used to follow Chrysler to sign up. Each exhibition is a shared exhibition hall. So what to do, just throw money at it.

According to Bao Zixuan's request, John Chambers made Chrysler sell half of the showroom to Heiyun Auto at double the price.

Chrysler now lacks Jeeps and Dodges, and it doesn't need the large showroom it had originally reserved. However, considering the pain that Heiyun Automobile could not get a booth to participate in the exhibition, he took the opportunity to knock Heiyun a slap in the face. However, Bao Zixuan didn't say anything. Chrysler would feel better at the exhibition. The three models Heiyun launched are all classic models, especially the Heiyun 1-series sedan. Stylish and fuel efficient, it will definitely be enough for a Chrysler to drink.

Bao Zixuan knew that he didn't have much time in Detroit, so after inspecting the three cars, he began to develop the next model with the engineers.

Bao Zixuan was going to copy the BMW models to the end, and he took out the BMW 5 Series and 7 Series. At the same time, it also took out three styles of SUVs: BMW x1; x3; x5. It can be said that all the cars currently produced by Heiyun are the models that BMW is going to market after 2010. If Heiyun Auto can't succeed, then it is a bit unreasonable.

As for the Jeep Bao Zixuan, it is going to copy the Mercedes-Benz big g, and it is still the most classic 1983 model of Mercedes-Benz Now the Mercedes-Benz has not yet approved the project. The main reason is that there is no patent application for the model and appearance.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class is one of the most powerful all-terrain off-road vehicles in the world. Its simple and clear lines outline the strong lines that off-road vehicles should have, and also have the unique luxury and classic temperament of the Mercedes-Benz family.

At the same time, the combination of "travel comfort" and "off-road function" allows those who love outdoor off-road and recreational activities to enjoy the most advanced travel quality and off-road performance. It also attracts high interest from off-road players and car lovers. The standard version of the G-Class model will use the V8 engine that represents the latest technological development level of the S-Class model, which can reach a peak power of 184 kW, 250 hp and 560 Nm of torque at more than 1,700 rpm, which is the most powerful in the world. One of the most powerful diesel engines for passenger cars.

As for the diesel engine of this car, Bao Zixuan is going to use Rheinmetall's existing engine to improve it, and I believe it will become a classic car.

Looking at the Heiyun Automobile Factory, Bao Zixuan knew. As more and more cars roll off the assembly line in the black cloud, his war with the traditional car giants is about to begin.

Entering the 21st century, people have introduced companies that can be inherited for a century. Most of the companies that can be passed down for more than 3 generations are concentrated in the financial industry, the automobile industry, and the watch industry.

There must be a reason why the auto company can be inherited for so long, which proves that it is difficult for outsiders to enter this company. Especially in developed countries, the automobile industry is extremely stable, and it is difficult for foreign forces to develop. However, Bao Zixuan's acquisition of Jeep and Dodge is a bit special, but as a Hong Kong native, his development in European and American countries is very limited, and now he must be more careful when competing with auto giants. The road in the future will be even more difficult, and it is estimated that it will be even more difficult to enter the aviation industry, but Bao Zixuan knows that he can only keep walking along this road.
