Back in Detroit, Bao Zixuan seemed to be a different person. After so many days of business negotiations, it seems that I have forgotten my job. Born as an engineer, doing research and development is his favorite.

Seeing the boss wearing a work uniform, he appeared in front of everyone with a revitalized spirit. The engineers and technicians thought that the boss must have been comforted physically and mentally in Hollywood, or how could he have done so.

Detroit is also a big city in the United States. Of course, there are many gossip media reports that Bao Zixuan is dating a beautiful star with Chinese descent. The richest man in Bao is also a man with strong blood and energy, and it is normal for him to fail to resist mixed-race beauties. And there is no need for him to take the initiative to soak in others. As long as the wind is released, many girls will take the initiative to pounce on him.

Ignoring the complicated expressions of the engineers and technicians, Bao Zixuan organized the first discussion meeting on new military vehicles. Generally speaking, the research and development of new cars will be divided into 5 stages.

The first step is to do a good job in the market research stage; the development of a new model requires a large investment of hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. Market research companies and automobile companies will entrust them to conduct research on the needs, preferences and habits of domestic consumers, and clarify the model form and market target, that is, the price strategy.

The second step is the conceptual design stage; the conceptual design is mainly divided into three stages: general layout, modeling design, and making clay model.

The third step is the engineering design stage; after completing the modeling design, the engineering design stage begins. Engineering design is a process of detailed design of the entire vehicle, and each general component is distributed to the relevant departments for design and development.

The fourth step is the prototype test stage; after the engineering design stage is completed, the prototype vehicle trial production stage is entered into the test stage. The test of the prototype includes two aspects: performance test and reliability test.

The fifth step is the mass production stage; the production start-up stage includes formulating the production process chain, various production equipment in place, production line laying and so on. It takes about half a year for the start-up stage of production. During this period, the stamping, welding, painting and final assembly production lines must be repeatedly improved. On the condition of ensuring the production process and prototype performance, start small batch production to further verify the reliability of the product. To ensure that there are no major problems in small batch production for 3 months, mass production will be officially launched.

According to the general progress of forward car development, the time is about less than 5 years. That's still relatively quick, otherwise it might have dragged on longer. However, because of the existence of Baozixuan, many steps can be omitted. Moreover, Heiyun Automobile already has relevant technical reserves before, and there is no need to design the power system, power system and interior matching.

And Bao Zixuan had already arranged the task before he left some time ago. Now it's time to look at the research and development progress of various departments and the overall effect of the platform integration.

The Black Cloud Group has the most advanced mainframe computers in the automotive industry, as well as a more complete software system. As long as each department completes its own work, it can be integrated within the computer; it can be said to be very convenient.

At the same time, market research can be omitted. After all, this time it was the US government who put forward the technical requirements. As long as the design is based on other people's technical blueprints, it can only be high, not low. Otherwise, there is no qualification to be shortlisted, let alone to compete with other manufacturers.

At this time, the second step is also ready, and the shape design Bao Zixuan has come up with a plan. The clay model has been made by senior mechanic and preliminary inspection and testing has been completed.

The people who come here are all engineers and understand the boss's work style. Everyone was wearing work clothes, waiting seriously for the boss to formulate a work plan.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were a little different from before, Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "Is there a flower on my face! It still feels funny, why is this expression all the same."

Everyone didn't know what to say, after all, it was the first time they saw the boss's expression so serious. Companion is like a tiger, so don't pay special attention to the boss's private life.

Seeing the serious expressions of the engineers and technicians, Bao Zixuan changed his words and said with a smile, "Have you all read the entertainment news? These newspaper reporters are really amazing. If it didn't happen to me, even I would believe it. "

"As a science and engineering man, it's good to watch gossip news occasionally to regulate some emotions. But don't indulge in it; don't take it too deeply. You still have to be serious when you work. If you can't get good grades at work, it's useless to say other things."

"You may have to work hard in the next period of time. We have a tight schedule and heavy tasks. It is necessary to complete the assembly of the engineering prototype within half a month, and then airlift it to all parts of the world for testing."

At this time, an engineer said: "Boss, the media are currently promoting GM and Ford. Is it not worth our investment, after all, the orders will basically not be given to Heiyun Automobile."

It is normal to have this idea. The last thing engineers and technicians want to see is to develop new products and not get a good destination. Heiyun Group's research and development of new military vehicles was originally a good thing. But without orders, a labor-intensive project is doomed to fail. It is not conducive to the confidence of engineering and technical personnel, and even adversely affects the professional resume of engineers.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Although it is basically unrealistic for the US to purchase Heiyun military vehicles in large quantities, I am afraid that the whole world knows about it. But so what, Heiyun aims to develop the world's most advanced vehicles with the highest performance. Superior product."

"As for whether the U.S. government purchases or not, it is not something we need to consider. As long as the products are good enough and the U.S. government does not purchase, people in other countries are not blind."

Hearing Bao Zixuan finish speaking, the engineer was very emotional. The boss can even sell old military vehicles. Of course, there is no big problem with the new products developed by Heiyun itself.

Bao Zixuan continued: "It's not wrong to consider market factors. After all, products are developed to face the market. They can't be limited to one city or one place. The military vehicles we develop must be able to adapt to any geographical environment. To achieve the ultimate product, customers can Will take the initiative to find us."

"If you don't have a great product, everything is for nothing."

Bao Zixuan said it very clearly, and he didn't want engineers to think about whether it was worth it or not. As long as they can develop products with peace of mind, this is the most urgent and important thing.

Bao Zixuan continued: "How is the clay model made?"

The pace of change is really fast, starting with the gossip problem at the beginning; then the market problem; now jumping to the clay model. If it is not unorganized and the brain is confused; then it is the super ability of thinking transformation. Obviously, Bao Zixuan belongs to the latter, and encountering such a boss is also a challenge to engineers.

An old mechanic stood up and said, "The clay model has been made and has been tested quantitatively. The data size provided by the boss is very detailed, and there is no difficulty or challenge for our department at all."

Hearing that Bao Zixuan was very relieved, it was not only the work efficiency, but also the confidence of the old mechanic. When the Black Cloud Group first took over, the workers left by Chrysler were not so confident and with such a work attitude.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the factory was half dead at that time. It is difficult for workers to guarantee even the most basic wages, not to mention the improvement of welfare benefits. After Heiyun took over, he not only raised the salary standard, but also paid very sufficient overtime expenses. These old workers, their income has reached three times or more than before. Standard American middle-class income, what's not to meet.

If you don't work hard~www.mtlnovel.com~, then not only will you be sorry for the salary given by the company; you will even be sorry for your own conscience. After leaving Heiyun Automobile, he will not have such a good life in the future, and basically he will never meet such a generous boss.

Bao Zixuan: "Very good, how is the engineering design stage completed?"

The clay model has passed the test, so the total achievements need to be assigned to different departments. As the boss, Bao Zixuan is also the chief designer, as long as the person in charge of the assembly is responsible for it.

The person in charge of the assembly is a middle-aged man in his 40s who previously worked in Jeep. After Bao Zixuan acquired the Jeep brand, it was reused. The main reason is the identity of the other party, who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The person in charge of the assembly stood up and said: "In addition to the power distribution system, there are still some problems, and others have been designed. The bus design required by the US government is very different from that of traditional cars. We have to re-develop the entire power distribution system. "

"It is expected that the entire design can be completed in three days, and it has been successfully simulated in the computer. It only takes some time for the cooperation of several factories."

"I heard that Bao Zixuan didn't say much here, I'm quite satisfied with this progress."
