Chapter 1631 So confident and confident)
Nissan and Toyota pickup trucks are not cheap. The price of a brand new Nissan or Toyota pickup truck is calculated in rmb. The price in the Middle East and Africa is more than 300,000 yuan. This price is a bit high. But the Japanese don’t look down on the blacks, and they do very badly in the after-sales service. Many “modification work” also requires the blacks to explore by themselves. Lin Hongfei was very angry about this: How can business be done like this? As a business operator, you must do your best to help customers solve problems.
Of course, in Lin Hongfei's opinion, this is an excellent opportunity to kick out Nissan pickup trucks and Toyota pickup trucks. For this opportunity, Lin Hongfei set the tone for the entire project, "In two months, I must take out the sample car for me!"
"This is impossible!" As soon as Lin Hongfei said this, Shi Lei was like a cat who was stepped on his tail. "Two months are not enough for us to assemble a car, and we can't even test it."
"You don't have to worry about the test problem, and there will naturally be someone to help us test it," Lin Hongfei was unmoved. "In the past two months, I will spend at least half of my time in the laboratory to work with you on this project. My requirements are very simple. After 2 months, at least 10 prototypes will be produced and handed over to me!"
Shi Lei looked at Lin Hongfei blankly. As everyone's reactions, he only had one feeling in his heart: the boss is crazy!
Lin Hongfei was crazy, but it seemed not crazy, but there was no doubt that Lin Hongfei, the boss Lin, had entered a strange working state at this moment. He even called Sigmund Mia over with a phone call. He didn't care whether the girl was busy now, "Mia. I want to get a pickup truck and I need your help."
"Pickup?" Unlike Shi Lei and others who were born with tinted glasses, Sigmund Mia, who has seen many pickups in Europe, would not have any special opinions on this relatively alternative model. What she was even more curious about was, "Okay, what do I need to do?"
"I'm involved in a chassis here. I need to install our 115-kilowatt diesel engine, and there is also. Our engine usage environment is very harsh. Maybe our customers will not think of providing the most basic maintenance of the car with oil replacement, so... you have to find a way to do this."
"The engine oil will not be replaced for 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers..." Sigmund Mia was speechless for a moment, "Are these guys primitive people? Why don't we set up some after-sales service points in the local area and remind them to maintain their cars on time?"
"Uh..." Lin Hongfei thought for a while. Since he had to send someone to do "technical guidance", it seems that it is not impossible to set up an after-sales service center in the local area. "This seems to be a good idea. I will consider it... I need to design the chassis, suspension system and related parts of the car as soon as possible. Mia, I need you to help me."
"Can I refuse?" Sigmund Mia sighed quietly.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
As a great man who designed a motorcycle in one week, with the complete engine, transmission, transmission system and suspension accessories, the company's designer team led by Shi Lei finally saw Lin Hongfei's terrifying design skills: in three days. Mr. Lin has completed the design of the cad drawings of the chassis beam. Without a high-quality imported shock absorbing system, Lin Hongfei chose the most primitive shock absorbing equipment: the front and rear shock absorbers composed of 5 spring steel plates... This simple and backward shock absorbing device can only be seen on the 212 Jeep, and it is comfort. Cough cough... The guys who drive the 212 Jeep don't think this shock absorbing is so uncomfortable.
However, Shi Lei, who is the youngest and most expected to become the top international designer, has a bit of a literary temperament in his bones. He raised some objections to Lin Hongfei's choice of suspension system, "Boss, is this kind of leaf spring shock absorption too..."
"Do you think this kind of shock absorption is too behind?" Lin Hongfei didn't mind what Shi Lei thought in his heart, and he asked with a smile.
"Yes," Shi Lei nodded, "As for calculations, we can also consider strengthening McPherson's rear leaf spring shock absorption before and after, right? The front and rear leaf spring shock absorption is used... the comfort cannot be guaranteed."
"It is true, but if I tell you, what our target customers care about is not comfort at all, but throughability, the strong impact resistance of the chassis during high-speed off-roading and a minimum load-bearing capacity of 1 ton or even 2 ton?" Lin Hongfei asked.
"This is impossible!" Shi Lei returned without thinking, "The pickup truck that meets this requirement should be a full-size pickup truck of the Ford F150 level, rather than a medium-sized pickup truck like us that only sells 200,000 yuan... Who would have such a strict requirement for pickup trucks?"
"In fact, our customers are just such harsh people," Lin Hongfei glanced at Sigmund Mia, "You already know who our customers are, right?"
"Yes, I can guess," Sigmund Mia nodded and faced Shi Lei's puzzled gaze, saying, "This pickup truck is not sold to Europe or the United States at all, but to guerrillas and military in the war-torn areas of the Middle East and Africa... You must know that these countries are very poor and cannot afford main battle tanks, armored personnel carriers or wheeled armored vehicles. Install machine guns, machine cannons, and Type 63 107mm16-barrel rocket cannons on the pickup truck.
,RPG bazooka launcher, anti-tank missiles, and even shoulder-mounted low-altitude air defense missiles have become the common choices for these guerrillas and countries. "When Shi Lei opened his mouth wider, Sigmund Mia made the last sentence, "Compared with standard military tanks, armored vehicles, and wheeled armored personnel carriers, the cost of modifying various armed vehicles with pickup trucks is too low, which is very consistent with the style of "spend less money to do big things" in these areas."
"This... aren't we supporting them in war?" Shi Lei's face turned pale and his lips were trembling. He couldn't help asking Lin Hongfei, "Our country has made a public promise to not interfere in other people's internal affairs."
"How are we interfering in other people's internal affairs? We just bought a batch of civilian pickup trucks that can be used freely under their poor traffic conditions and have the potential to deeply modify. As for how they got this batch of pickup trucks, what does it have to do with us?" Lin Hongfei looked at Shi Lei with surprise, "Why do you think so?"
"No...I..." Poor Shi Lei felt that his head was mixed up by Mr. Lin. Things shouldn't be like this, but why does what Mr. Lin said seems to make sense?
Before he could figure it out, Lin Hongfei said, "Let's say that, we are just kitchen knives, and we still sell the kind of kitchen knives that are not sharp. As for the kitchen knives that are bought by others to cook or chop people, or tied up a stick to use as a Pub knife, that's not what we can do, right?"
"It seems...it makes some sense..." Shi Lei frowned. What Mr. Lin said was indeed reasonable, but he always felt that something seemed to be wrong.
The bad boss Lin would never tell Shi Lei that he was actually trying to make someone change it into a murderous kitchen knife or even a Park knife.
Sigmund Mia looked at Lin Hongfei with a smile and did not explain to Shi Lei. In her opinion, since the company has decided to take the military route, it is not bad to make some money from the lowest-end pickup truck. By the way, it can also let the African Hei Shushu help her company test the actual performance and performance of the car. As for things like world harmony... God has not done, so we mortals should not think about it.

After working for a day, Sigmund Mia sent an invitation to Lin Hongfei, "Go to have a drink?"
"This..." Lin Hongfei's scalp was a little numb. A few years passed. Although Sigmund Mia didn't say anything, Lin Hongfei could feel that this German beauty had no intention of giving up. But now, she was just having a drink, and she really couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"If you are worried, just drink a cup of coffee." Seeing Lin Hongfei's embarrassing appearance, Sigmund Mia couldn't help but smile, but a trace of gloom passed through her eyes.
"Coffee? No problem." Lin Hongfei breathed a sigh of relief: As long as it wasn't drinking, just this thing, he was prone to being confused after drinking.
They said they were drinking coffee, but after each ordered a cup of coffee, the two of them were relatively speechless. Sigmund Mia was holding the coffee cup in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking. As for Lin Hongfei, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, as if there were two boils on her butt. The one on one side was so uncomfortable that she couldn't sit.
But this silent atmosphere made Lin Hongfei feel more and more embarrassed. Just as he was thinking about saying something to resolve the current embarrassment, Sigmund Mia, who had not spoken, finally spoke and asked quietly, "I heard that Dongfang is going to give birth to a baby for you soon?"
"Yes, I'm about to give birth, and there's less than a month left..." Lin Hongfei responded. For some reason, he always felt the atmosphere was very awkward and a little guilty.
"Congratulations, you're about to be a father." Sigmund Mia smiled, "I wish you can be a qualified father, and let's have a drink for this."
What else can Lin Hongfei say? He picked up the coffee cup and drank it in one bite, trying to pretend that he couldn't see the resentful look in Sigmund Mia's eyes.
"By the way, you will go to Moscow in a few days, right?" Sigmund Mia asked Lin Hongfei as if he was thinking of something.
No matter what Sigmund Mia remembered, for Lin Hongfei, as long as he didn't talk about this embarrassing issue, it would be a good thing. He nodded quickly, "Yes, the Moscow Air Show is a good opportunity for us. We can advertise our company's products as soon as possible."
"If so, can you do me a favor..."
