For Alexander Vikander, he was a standard dogmatism.

People like him are very common around him. Everyone is very consistent and always chooses conservative, and never takes a radical route.

People like him have many particularly stubborn persistences, such as those who study hard, those who kidnap others with the Bible, and those who do things in a uniform manner and remain unchanged.

Vikander's persistence in automobile design originated from his failure to establish an aesthetic system that is truly close to the times.

He felt that Volvo cars should be designed to look a little clumsy and plain, because this is the foundation of its low-key and restrainedness.

Moreover, he felt that any brand that designs a fancy car, the cars they produce were not practical.

Volvo needs such solid lines and unchanging design language to convey a message to the world: "We are conservative, we stick to our inner self, our cars are always the most practical and safe."

So, he scoffed at the car look that Li Mu wanted.

He even educated Li Mu and said, "Mr. Li, look, the side of your SV uses a lower tilted line, with the front and the back low. In this way, the upper space of the rear seats is reduced for no reason. Originally, people who were 1.8 meters tall would not feel the top of their heads when they sat in, but after you designed this way, people who were 1.8 meters tall would feel depressed when they sat in."

Li Mu nodded: "That's right, I'll let him suppress it."

Vikander sneered: "Mr. Li, I am frank, you really don't understand car design. People's pursuit of space is very extreme, especially SUVs. Most people buy SUVs for larger spaces, not better passivity."

Li Mu said lightly: "Most of the cars don't usually sit in the back seat, so it doesn't matter if they sit. They can settle for it because this is not his car after all."

Vikander said: "How can this work? Our customers will definitely give up on this car when they buy it!"

Li Mu asked back: "The rear row of the two-door four-seater coupe is crowded when the dog stays. Isn't anyone still buying it?"

Vikand argued: "But that's not a mainstream model! Mainstream models should still fully consider space and ride comfort."

Li Mu said seriously: "In the future, at least 50% of car consumers will pay for the appearance. The key to the real impact on whether they buy it is whether the car looks good or not, not whether the rear space is large enough."

Vikander said: "Even if it looks, I don't think this car looks good. It's too weird! And the side lines you designed, these geometric edges and corner designs, will increase the production process and cost, and will increase the chance of damage and repair costs on both sides of the car. If it is a larger curve and a more rounded shape, it is mostly easy to avoid bumps, but if it is this shape, it will be difficult to restore it once you touch it. It requires sheet metal, which is flashy and unreal!"

"Also, why do we need to design two tail throats at the tail? Our displacement is not large. One tail throat is enough, and two will increase the cost, and there is no need to do it."

Li Mu asked him: "Have you seen a 2.0-displacement car with four tail throats?"

Vikander said disdainfully: "Have four tail throats? Unless he is crazy, it is impossible to do such a thing!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "You should have the chance to meet you in a few years."

After saying that, Li Mu said lightly: "Okay Vikand, I'm not hiring you to make you nonsense with me, but to let you do things for me. I am the boss, so you can do whatever I ask you to do. Don't tell me how professional you are and how amateur I am. One of you designers is counted as one, and none of them are qualified in my eyes. Look at the models you designed and the unchanged shape for thousands of years, you can tell how lacking your design spirit is. Look at Volvo's sluggish sales. At least 60% of the responsibility lies with you designers."

When Vikander heard this, his face immediately turned red and white.

It is really heartbreaking to be questioned by Li Mu so much about his professional ability.

But the key is that he didn't know where to refute it at once.

Volvo's sales are indeed quite sluggish.

Li Mu continued at this time: "The car you designed is like the most ordinary middle-aged man in the world. He has a big and fat face, a greasy face, a sparse hair, a sloppy dress, and a unkempt edge, which makes it difficult for the opposite sex to be interested in that aspect. Therefore, the car you designed is also very abstinent, and people can't get a ***. I originally had a ***, but after seeing the car you designed, that ** was instantly extinguished. If you are not convinced, I can get a budget of one million US dollars, and ask a world-famous questionnaire company to conduct a questionnaire in several big cities around the world to count how many people think the Volvo model is ugly now."

As he said that, Li Mu raised his voice a little, and said, "I'll ask for your opinion to give you face. I'm not really asking you to use your ascetic aesthetic to point fingers at me. From now on, if you still want this job, listen carefully to what the man who pays you is saying, what he asks you to do, and you will do whatever he wants. Otherwise, you can immediately resign and return to Sweden to see if you can find a job as a designer in your life!"

Vikander dared not complain any more.

I originally wanted to give the new boss a warning and let him not have any idea of ​​interfering in his work in the future, but unexpectedly, the new boss is not interfering in his work at all, but has to completely decide on his work.

He also knew very well that he had to go against Li Mu, and his only fate was to pack up the bed and roll it home, so he could only be afraid immediately. Whatever Li Mu wanted and how he cooperated with him. As for whether the car he designed could work, he would care. When he earned enough money, he would go back to Sweden. It had nothing to do with him if Volvo died.

So he said with a slight silence: "Mr. Li, I will cooperate exactly according to your ideas for what kind of design you want."

Li Mu nodded and said, "You raise the front of the car first and don't tell me any vision. If you want a good vision, go and try Changhe bread."

"I said, the wheel hub should be larger and the car should be shorter. What? Not coordinated? What I want is inconsistency!"

"Add the double-exhaust exhaust, yes! Be sure to double-exhaust, one on the left and right. In addition, don't give me a round tail throat like this, change it to a square one!"

"The waistline is more obvious..."

On the computer, a car was improved little by little from the most ordinary line draft, and finally had the prototype of an aurora.

Although this short, fat bigfoot looks really weird, what surprised all designers was that such a weird combination did not look ugly at all. On the contrary, the more you look at it, the more you feel it tastes more and more.
