Chapter 642: I Deliberately Sent It to the Door to Find Abuse...... (Four more, four more)
Lin Hongfei's words made Rostock feel a strong crisis is quietly attacking himself and the public, and at the same time there is a chilling feeling, the development of a new type of Santana, in order to replace the mid-80s in the Chinese market Santana heavy responsibility model work, if Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. also began to develop this grade of models, then the aim is not the Volkswagen Santana replacement model?
This is snatching meat from the rice bowl of the Oriental public, and this is worth it!
Rostock, who was about to step out of the road, suddenly stopped, nodded with a smile, and said, "Of course, as a friend, in my personal capacity, I would be happy to help with this.\\"
Although he understands very well that this is very likely to be a demonstration and provocation by Lin Hongfei to the public, but at this moment he can't care so much, first find out the plans of Lin Hongfei and Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. It is serious, in order to be able to find out the actions of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Lin Hongfei's thoughts, face? What's that? How much is a pound? Why don't you give me five pounds first?
"Okay, please come with me." Lin Hongfei smiled and nodded, he was not afraid that Rostock would not come, but he was afraid that they would not come.
…………………………………………
"This is ......" Rostock's eyes widened and his hands trembled as he looked at what might be called a sketch in front of him.
Familiar, so familiar!
That's right, it's really familiar, Lin Hongfei showed Rostock this drawing, Rostock has also seen, although some places are not the same, but the general appearance is still the same, and I only saw last week, the design sketch of the new Santana that Oriental Volkswagen is developing is exactly the same!
Rostock was so confident in his memory that he had absolutely no doubt that he could be mistaken.
However, if it is said that Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. stole the design of Oriental Volkswagen, it is not necessarily, in several details, Rostock can still see that there are still many differences with the design of Oriental Volkswagen, although the similarity between the two is very high. But it is true that it will not pirate the design of Oriental Volkswagen...... Up to now, those designers of Oriental Volkswagen have only come up with a rough sketch, and Lin Hongfei has already come up with a detailed design and appearance drawing.
When I saw the body data such as the length, width, height and wheelbase of the car marked by Lin Hongfei on the drawings. Rostock suddenly felt his eyes darken for a while!
Lin Hongfei smiled secretly in his heart: This is the effect you want!
That's right. What Lin Hongfei took out was the upgraded version of the Santana 2000, the main model used by Oriental Volkswagen to focus on the mid-level public and commercial vehicle markets a few years later: Santana Vista Zhijun!
The Santana Vista is the product of the Santana 2000 after several times of skinning and lengthening the wheelbase, but in any case, there are many similarities with the Santana 2000. No matter how similar they are, they are two cars, at least there are many differences in appearance.
If I remember correctly, Oriental Volkswagen has only begun to develop the Santana 2000 now, and it will not be until 1995 when the first Santana 2000 officially rolls off the production line...... Lin Hongfei smiled: Rostock. My old friend, do you know that it's normal for you to want to vomit blood at this moment.
In 1991, Volkswagen and Ford Motor Company of Brazil established a joint venture Autolatina, which initially wanted to produce Volkswagen's latest Passat B3, but the joint venture decided to design a new car based on the Santana sedan, that is, the Passat B2, and the new car was sold under two brands; The names are Volkswagen Quantum and Ford Versailles.
The new car inherits the contours and chassis structure of the Volkswagen Santana, and adopts some new manufacturing processes to make the appearance cleaner, and the technical level is between the Santana and the Passat B3.
In the early 90s, when Volkswagen needed new products, Volkswagen and Volkswagen Brasil designed a new car based on this Brazilian version of Volkswagen. Domestic designers and engineers have redesigned the chassis of the Brazilian version of the prototype, redesigned the rear body, increased the ground clearance of the body, enhanced the vehicle's passability, and the wheelbase has been increased by 108 mm compared to the regular Santana. The rear seat space has been expanded, making the ride more comfortable and convenient.
In 1995, this new car designed for China finally began production, the Santana 2000, which was famous in the Chinese business sedan market in the late 90s. But now, Lin Hongfei is a little worried about whether this car, which has written a strong mark in the history of automobile manufacturing in the Republic and established the myth of Volkswagen's "god car", will come out.
"Lin. Did you really design this car? The first time his head came to his senses, Rostock's reaction was to grab Lin Hongfei's sleeve and ask Lin Hongfei, excessive nervousness and excitement made Rostock's hands bruise.
He is really too nervous, this matter must be clarified, if it can't be figured out immediately, this new car of Oriental Volkswagen will face the fate of being shorter than others before it is "born", which is really terrible...... Having spent so much time in China, Rostock has learned the fact that people in this country have an incomprehensible fanatical pursuit of car space, as if as long as the car is large enough and the wheelbase is long enough to satisfy their face, as for the rest, it doesn't matter at all.
It is precisely because of this that he tried his best to suppress the opposition within the company and insisted on launching this car, but now, if this matter is not handled well, he is a little afraid to imagine what kind of outcome he will face.
Lin Hongfei couldn't help frowning, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Rostock's appearance, "Rostock, my friend, I treat you as a friend, but this doesn't seem to be the way friends get along, right?" ”
Rostock, who was obviously a little too excited, realized that there was something wrong with him, and hurriedly let go of his hand, but his eyes kept staring at Lin Hongfei's eyes and did not move away for a second.
"Of course, who else designed it if I didn't design it?" Lin Hongfei was a little angry, and his tone naturally became not polite, "Mr. Rostock, you should be very clear about the staffing of our Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in terms of automobile design, right?" With only a few of my assistants besides me, who do you think is there in our company who can do the design task alone? ”
That's right! Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Rostock lowered his hand dejectedly: That's right, the design team of Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is very clear, and Volkswagen is also very clear, except for Lin Hongfei, who carries the beams, there are only a few assistants, but how many assistants can design such a simple and smooth car with a simple and smooth appearance that has undergone thousands of modifications at a glance? Joke!
After the "reprimand" of Rostock, Lin Hongfei seemed to suddenly react in hindsight, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he cautiously asked Rostock for verification, "Rostock, my dear friend, tell me your reaction...... You Oriental Volkswagen are not also developing such a model, right? ”
At this moment, what else can I do but smile bitterly? Although he was reluctant in his heart, in the end, facing Lin Hongfei's cautious gaze mixed with ecstasy, he nodded his head reluctantly.
"How is this possible?!"
"yes, I don't think it's possible, but it's happening right now." Rostock said with a wry smile, but he wanted to leave immediately: the Oriental public was in big trouble, and he needed to convene an emergency meeting to discuss the matter as soon as he returned, and he needed to report to the headquarters immediately.
"This is really a coincidence," Lin Hongfei nodded, revealing a smile that seemed to be completely described in Rostock's eyes with words such as "fake, cat crying mouse, weasel giving New Year's ......greetings to chickens" and so on, and then said shamelessly, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, the design drawing of this car, we have applied for a patent with the National Patent Office, this ......"
Hearing Lin Hongfei's words, Rostock stumbled and almost fell to the ground: Nima?! You've even applied for a patent?! Doesn't that mean that we can't produce this car in the East?!
What could be more tragic than hearing bad news? Rostock didn't think such a thing would happen before, but now he finally knew the answer to the question: What is more tragic than hearing a bad news is that after you hear a bad news, you hear the bad news that is no worse than the one you heard before.
I'm probably the most unlucky person in charge of the German side of Oriental Volkswagen, right? At this time, Rostock suddenly realized that he still had the heart to make his own jokes, and he even envied his predecessor: Hans. Dieter. Boucher...... This is absolutely abnormal, have you been hit by this series of bad news?
Hateful, Rostock threw out a sentence, "Lin, I remember that you Chinese never cared about patents." ”
"But I care," Lin Hongfei's expression was very innocent, "There have already been so many people who have suffered losses to remind me, if I don't know the importance of applying for a patent early, wouldn't I be a stupid pig?" ”
Rostock only felt that his throat was salty for a while, and he really had an urge to vomit blood: yes, you are not a stupid pig, I am the one who is a stupid pig, and I deliberately sent it to the door to find abuse......
