"Isn't that right, Brother Fan?! Do you want to make three models at once so scary!"
"My Chao, Brother Fan, I don't want to die young! One model before was enough, let alone three models!"
"Herbs and Qingzi are right, Brother Fan, you are going to tire us to death,"
Looking at the complaints of the three top students, Li Fanyu chuckled. Then a list was pulled out from the data - that was the directory of current R&D engineers in the R&D center.
"You three, don't think about sabotaging my work! If I don't understand, can I make this decision? Take a look at the herbal medicine. Is this list correct?"
Xu Fufang picked up the list with a grin and glanced at it quickly. After roughly comparing the number of people and names above, he nodded, "Absolutely."
Li Fanyu was confused when he came up, "What do you mean they are almost the same? The people on this list are only formal R&D engineers. This does not include those who are in the internship period and those from cooperative universities, right?"
"Ouch!" Xu Fufang covered his head and nodded.
"Now our number of formal engineers has reached 625. Do the internship and cooperative university teams add up to 300 people?"
"Um..." Liu Qing raised her hand guiltily, "To be precise, there are two hundred and eighty-two people."
Li Fan smiled stupidly and nodded, "There are about nine hundred people in total. Don't complain to me that there are not enough people. How many people were there when we were working on the A4? I remember the power experiment at that time Counting me, there are only one hundred and twenty people in the room, including Professor Zhang and An Ning, right?”
Seeing the three top students nodding in agreement, Li Fanyu pinched his waist and smiled and said: "What was the situation at that time? The R&D team had basically no development experience, and that was the first time the big girl turned it in. Now you have handled seven models The backbone of each team has sufficient experience in the research and development of mass-produced models, but don’t tell me that you can’t master these three models!”
"Um..."
Hearing this, the three top students shrugged feebly.
This is not to say that these three people are passive and slow in their work. In fact, what Li Fanyu said contains some elements of distorting the facts.
In terms of R&D and design alone, the size of the R&D team of 900 people is definitely enough. But what Li Fanyu asked them to do was a production car, not a concept car.
For a mass-produced car, if you design it on one side and communicate with the engineering and manufacturing department, then there must be another side as well.
Regarding this question, Li Fanyu waved his hand, "I don't care, this is your business. Overcome any difficulties. I want to see the results as soon as possible."
Seeing Li Fanyu knock the final hammer, although the three top students felt a lot of pressure, they still silently accepted the order.
Immediately, he picked up the three piles of drawings on the table.
"Huh?"
Seeing the car model on the drawing, the three top students all looked puzzled.
"Brother Fan, do you want to put SUVs on the market?"
"That's right!" Li Fanyu snapped his fingers, "Now that SUVs are so popular, we Zhengxin must also have a foothold in the market! We have always focused on cars as our main research and development direction, now it is time to expand our products The lineup. What, do you have any opinions?"
"No, no, no! How dare you. You are the boss and we are the younger brothers. You crack the whip and we work, how dare you have an opinion,"
"However, it seems that the gap between these three models is quite large. Brother Fan, is this not conducive to R&D and production?"
It’s no wonder that the three top students questioned it. Judging from the three drawings, two of the three models are medium-sized SUVs and one is a pure off-road vehicle. Judging from the body data, there is not much connection between the three cars.
Now, both in the market and within Zhengxin, it is clear that Zhengxin dominates the martial arts world by relying on platform technology;
At present, not only is Zhengxin itself using the A4 platform to upgrade and derive the CC2CC8, but it is also developing divergently based on the previous A4 front-engine chassis platform. Even some car companies on the market, such as Guangqi, are now using the A4 platform to quickly launch new products.
TT may be a model developed in the early days of Zhengxin that does not rely on platforms. But Li Fanyu extracted the PQ chassis platform from the TT. Now some small and medium-sized compact car companies are also using the PQ platform that Zhengxin exported to the outside world before.
Except for the Mini and the Fighter, they are out of place among all Zhengxin's products. Even the F150, aimed at overseas markets, is the younger brother of the QS15.
With platform research and development, the workload can be greatly reduced and the research and development cycle can be shortened to the maximum extent. But this time they have to develop three models at once, and the platforms are not yet interoperable, which puts the three of them in a bit of a dilemma.
Li Fanyu had long expected that these three people would feel this way, so he directly took the drawings from their hands and placed them side by side.
Pointing to the first one, the model concept picture above said: "Don't look at the fact that these three cars have not been related before, but in fact, these three models are also derived from our existing product platforms, such as This. The Q5 is actually an SUV model derived from the A4 platform. The internal structure and even the interior can basically follow the A4. ”
He didn't give the three top students much time to digest, and then opened the second drawing, "The Q7 is similar to the Q5. Although this car does not rely on the A4 platform, it can be expanded using the A6 chassis. This shouldn’t be difficult for you.”
The three top students looked at the two drawings and nodded thoughtfully.
They didn't look at the drawings carefully just now, but now that Li Fanyu said this, they understood.
If we rely on existing platforms for research and development, then as Li Fanyu said, it is not difficult.
Using a car platform to develop SUV models is nothing more than making some adjustments in chassis tuning, power matching and suspension selection. This is simple for the current Zhengxin R&D Center.
But looking at that off-road vehicle that looked particularly rough and crazy on the drawings, the top three students had questions again, "Brother Fan, what is this? Can this be derived from our existing platform?" ”
Li Fanyu nodded, "Of course! Otherwise I wouldn't give you the research and development tasks for three models at once."
"Where did this come from?"
Li Fanyu smiled slightly, "Fighter!"
"Pickup truck chassis?"
"That's right! Among these three models, it may be a little difficult for you to own this model. The non-load-bearing body has already been used on the Fighter, so we will continue to use it directly. But in terms of drive, suspension and In terms of internal structure, this car needs to be distinguished from the Fighter.”
As Li Fanyu said this, the three of them quickly picked up the drawings, held them in their hands and looked at them carefully.
After a long while, Xu Fu raised his head and said to Li Fanyu: "Brother Fan, compared to the Fighter, this car has undergone some major changes."
"Well, so the three of you will discuss it and see which model is more suitable for your respective teams."
As soon as he said this, Liu Qing directly held the third blueprint in his arms, "I will take care of this most difficult one! Don't compete with me for the auspicious prize, you two!"
Looking at the way this guy was protecting his food, Li Fanyu said curiously: "What? Why do you have a soft spot for this car? I have to say hello to you. The development difficulty of this model is much higher. The Q5 is slightly better than the Q7. Both the engine and the drive structure are very different from our existing products.”
"Brother Fan, you don't need to challenge the generals." Liu Qing grinned and said, "Have you forgotten that I was the one who led the team when the fighters were developed! Herbs and Brother Yu can't compare with me in this regard."
Seeing Li Fanyu nod his head in agreement, the fellow said: "Also, I don't care about the name of this car!"
After saying that, he showed the concept drawing and pointed to the model name on it
——Land Cruiser!
