The five-way army set off separately, of course, there is some moisture in it. Although the richest man Bao also personally led a team, it was tested in the factory, and there was no way to start.
Oblak took a ground-effect aircraft with two George Patton military vehicles directly to Saudi Arabia, which is also one of the important sales places for military vehicles. It is normal to give potential customers a first look, and the political situation in Saudi Arabia in the Middle East is relatively stable.
For this matter, Bao Zixuan personally called Prince Sultan. Hearing that the Black Cloud Group came to verify the new military vehicle, he readily agreed and said that he would give all necessary help for the new vehicle experiment.
The advantages of high-level friendship in the same country are reflected, and the average person Sultan himself is not so enthusiastic.
After Oblak came to Saudi Arabia, he quickly arranged for someone to plan the experimental site. The task given to him by the boss is very tight, but he cannot lose the chain at a critical moment.
Seeing Sultan greet him in person, Oblak did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly arranged his clothes, walked quickly to the other party, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, I'm really flattered that He Dehe would let you greet him in person."
Having worked in the Middle East for a while before, there was no problem with simple communication in Arabic. Hearing that the American was quite proficient in Arabic, Prince Sultan was in a better mood. I came here just to see the situation of Heiyun's new military vehicle for the first time. How can this kid have such a big face in front of him.
At least someone above the US Secretary of State came to Saudi Arabia, otherwise Sultan would not need to greet him in person. I still have to talk about polite words, at least in terms of face.
Prince Sultan said with a smile: "The Black Cloud Group has close cooperation with Saudi Arabia, and this time, the newly developed military vehicle has been put into Saudi Arabia for experimentation. As the host, of course, you have to come to greet him. I am saying that Mr. Bao Zixuan and I have a good personal relationship. , don't be rude."
"For the new products developed by Heiyun, it will definitely not disappoint. Being able to see it for the first time is also one of the purposes of this trip."
Before coming to Saudi Arabia, of course, I have learned about Saudi information. Primarily the positions and spheres of influence of members of the royal family. It is no secret that Prince Sultan, as the head of the military, has a keen interest in new weapons.
Know that the other party is looking at the boss's face and is interested in the new military vehicle. Oblak is not a fool with no sense of the world, so he hastened to arrange for the George Patton military vehicle to be put out of the warehouse.
Seeing the two mighty and domineering military vehicles, Prince Sultan instantly felt his blood boil. This is the kind of car a man should own, and seeing the Rolls-Royce next to him is not pleasing to the eye no matter what.
Prince Sultan, who has been adventurous since he was a child, looked at Oblak and said: "This car is very good, at least I like the appearance. And it is produced by Heiyun, it must be a fine product. It must not be bad in performance, can you let me Feel it."
This is a test model, and the data collected is not comprehensive. There are many problems that need to be solved. People are precious, but they dare not let them take risks.
Oblak said embarrassedly: "His Royal Highness, there are still many problems with this car that have not been found and resolved, and it needs continuous testing before customers can use it. Therefore, I dare not call the shots, after all, your identity is not suitable for adventure."
"In case of any accident, no one can afford this responsibility."
Prince Sultan was also impulsive, and knew that many things could not be done by temper. So I can only say with a regretful expression: "You are right, but wait until the test is over. I must experience it, or I may not even be able to sleep well."
While Oblak was testing the new car in Saudi Arabia, David Bruce had just arrived near the North Pole. At this time, it is already winter in the northern hemisphere, and the weather has been very bad in recent days, making the temperature outside the Arctic plummet to minus 50 degrees. This is beyond everyone's expectations. Although careful preparations have been made before, everyone still feels cold at this time.
Detroit's temperature is considered low in the United States, and it is still far from the North Pole. Engineers have not received professional cold protection training, and many people feel that this is not a place for people to stay.
Just one day after arriving at the North Pole, many engineers fell ill. Bao Zixuan paid a certain price for his youth. If he hadn't pressed hard and insisted on him, such a serious problem would not have arisen.
In the past life, I only learned some information about the Arctic from the data, and I have seen some car manufacturers go to the Arctic for testing. But people have gone through a lot of preparation work before, and the plan alone has been done for several months or even more than a year. How can there be an order like Bao's richest man; engineers without professional training set off directly.
If it is not done, it will kill people. After all, there are not many places to supply the Arctic at this time. Moreover, affected by bad weather, ground effect aircraft are not useful at all. At best as a permanent residence, but that also requires a lot of fuel to maintain.
David Bruce was also a little regretful at this time, thinking that he would test it on the edge of the Arctic. I took a few photos, recorded some video data, and went back to use it for publicity, but who would have thought that the photographer would just get down on the ground when he arrived.
How to say David Bruce is also a man in his 40s, and his physical abilities are definitely not as good as that of a young guy. In addition to so many years of basically engaged in research and development work, just arrived and fell ill.
The project leader could not get up to work, making a lot of work impossible. Fortunately, David Bruce knows the task given by Bao Zixuan, and the boss doesn't care how difficult it is for you. If you fail to achieve it, you are incompetent, and even alumni have nothing to say.
At this time, the assistant walked into the tent where David Bruce was, and came over to ask how the next work should be arranged.
For this assistant, David Bruce is still very satisfied. Although this kid just graduated from the University of Detroit, which is not considered a prestigious school in the United States, fortunately, graduating from a major in automotive testing gives him a lot of extra points. At this time, the value is fully reflected, and the football players in college were not knocked down by the cold.
Now we can only see if this kid can provoke the lead, otherwise the mission may really not be able to continue.
David Bruce: "Hughes, how is the situation now; can the work continue? We are very pressed for time, but it is difficult for me to continue to direct the work like this."
The purpose of this is self-evident, the first is to understand the situation, and the second is to let this young man named Hughes take over his command of various tasks.
Hughes: "It was very bad, most people fell ill. Now we have a working cameraman who is also a woman."
"The multi-angle lens required by the boss is definitely not good, but there is still no problem in the routine test. The two drivers have no problems and can drive at any time. However, it is difficult for other vehicles to operate in extreme weather. It's a bit of a risk, but I have absolute confidence in a George Button-type vehicle, taking the engineering crew and doing a full track test of another car."
Let engineering staff ride in vehicles that have not been finalized and are still in extreme weather. This is a risk in itself and doesn't fit the operational flow. But now there are no more options, but it is a way.
David Bruce: "Are you sure!"
The older the rivers and lakes, the smaller the burden is not unreasonable, not to mention in the case of illness.
Hughes: "I'm not 100% sure, but there's no better choice at the moment. Do you want to go back in a daze, and how will you explain it to the company?"
"Have confidence in the George Patton military vehicle, after all, this is a product that we have built by ourselves."
Hearing this, David Bruce feels that he can't catch up with a young man now Is it really old? So he said decisively: "Just do as you said, but pay special attention to a few of them."
"The amount of oxygen required for each fuel in a hybrid fuel engine is different. The weather here is too bad, so you need to pay special attention. The rest is up to you. It's hard for me to get up now."
"In addition, the test time should not be too long every day. You can't eat a fat man in one breath. You have to worry about the sickness. Now this team must obey all your orders, including me."
This is unconditional trust, and David Bruce has no other good way. We can only pin our hopes on young people. After all, they have not fallen down at this time. Except for the logistics support staff, the engineering team is basically young people.
Later, a reporter interviewed David Bruce. Did he regret promoting Hughes? After all, he is already the head of Heiyun Automobile, and he is only a chief engineer.
In this regard, David Bruce said with a smile: "If there was no Hughes, I may not be inseparable from the North Pole. As for the position, Hughes is obviously more suitable."
Mike Hughes, the future head of Black Cloud Auto, has embarked on the beginning of a brilliant career.
