"What do I want your head for?" Lin Hongfei couldn't help laughing, although he said so, Mao Donghai's statement was undoubtedly an affirmation of himself, Lin Hongfei's mood was still quite happy, "But to say a little arrogant, in my opinion, the car I designed may be able to lead the trend of the development of the domestic automobile industry." ”

Lin Hongfei's words are not untargeted, in the last life, when the Oriental Volkswagen's Passat B5 was listed in China, it had a profound impact on the development of the domestic automobile industry, since 2000 after the sale of high-end sedans in China, and even later small cars, in the overall appearance design is almost in pursuit of smooth design, this situation, in the eyes of people who are now accustomed to the appearance of the square corner, like a brick car, almost unimaginable.

But Mao Donghai did not dare to agree with Lin Hongfei's words, in Mao Donghai's view, Lin Hongfei's design of this car is undoubtedly an excellent to make foreign car designers jealous of the model, with such a model, Lin Hongfei can reach the level of "internationally renowned designer", but in Mao Donghai's opinion...... Perhaps it is the incompetence of the domestic automobile industry over the years that has left him without the courage to straighten his waist and make accurate judgments...... If you want to rely on such a model to lead the development trend of the domestic automobile industry, it is simply impossible, Volkswagen's Audi 100 is really a model that can lead the development trend of the domestic automobile industry, Lin Hongfei's evaluation of the car he designed, is a little too arrogant.

It's just that although Mao Donghai felt that Lin Hongfei's words were too arrogant, he didn't mean to be dissatisfied. Lin Hongfei, who can design such a model, is obviously a person with real skills in his hands, but these people with real skills have a common problem: they are a little overconfident in themselves.

Mao Donghai just smiled, neither nodded nor shook his head, but said vaguely to Lin Hongfei, "Mr. Lin." The car you've designed is really good and I'm very optimistic about it. ”

Although Mao Donghai said vaguely, Lin Hongfei understood the meaning. But Lin Hongfei did not have any unhappiness because of this, the reason is very simple, the national autobots of this era. For themselves really have no confidence, the entire automobile industry is permeated with a wave of "take-it-ism" and pessimism that admires foreign flattery, under the influence and propaganda of the public, even absurd to the point that it is impossible for the Chinese to do a good job in the car There are many people, relatively speaking, Mao Donghai's words are already relatively fair and fair.

"Editor-in-Chief Mao, why don't we make a bet?" Lin Hongfei paused and said to Mao Donghai, "I bet that this car will sell so well that it will be difficult to find a car and even increase the price to pick up the car, do you believe it or not?" ”

Mao Donghai naturally didn't believe it. He admits that this car is a good car, but let him admit that this car will sell so well that it is difficult to find a car and even have to increase the price to pick up the car, he will never believe it, the reason is naturally very simple: I admit this car but it is a good car in terms of appearance, but what about the actual handling performance? What about tuning the chassis and suspension? What about the overall driving feel?

In Mao Donghai's view. Lin Hongfei, who designed a car for the first time, can design such a car with excellent appearance is already the limit, with the BJ18 engine he designed to match, presumably the power system will not be bad, but if he is required to be very good in chassis and suspension, it is inevitably a little difficult. Do you think you're a mass? If this car is launched by Volkswagen. With Volkswagen's years of experience in designing and building cars, this car is bound to be hard to find, but you North County Industrial Manufacturing Company ...... Who has heard of your company's name before?

It is precisely because of so many reasons that Mao Donghai would never believe that this car would sell so well that it would be difficult to find a car and even have to increase the price to pick up the car, but he was also a little curious about Lin Hongfei's confident attitude, hesitated, and asked Lin Hongfei, "Oh? What to bet on? ”

"It's simple, if I lose, I'll give you a car that we make ourselves, or an Audi 100, and you can choose between two cars." Lin Hongfei said.

Mao Donghai's heart jumped when he heard it: Although the car designed by Lin Hongfei looks very beautiful, he is not sure what it is, but Audi 100, not to mention that a car costs more than 400,000 yuan, this is a car that only leaders at or above the department and bureau level are qualified to use, and there are good things that money can't buy, Lin Hongfei is willing to take out an Audi 100 to bet with himself? !

With an Audi 100 as a bet, there is no doubt that in the early 90s, this was really a big gamble, Mao Donghai's breath suddenly became heavy, Lao Wang. Lao Li and Xiao Liu's reaction was not much better, they didn't expect that Lin Hongfei would be willing to spend such a big capital, and in excitement, they repeatedly signaled to Mao Donghai to quickly agree to Lin Hongfei's conditions, and for a while they forgot the information they ignored in Lin Hongfei's bet: at least in Lin Hongfei's own opinion, the car he designed was qualified to sit on an equal footing with the Audi 100.

Mao Donghai's reaction was not much better, but he was better than the three people under him, although Lin Hongfei's conditions were very tempting, but he was more worried: what kind of bet did he need to pay? …… Although he didn't doubt that he would lose at all, for the sake of insurance, Mao Donghai still thought it was safer.

"What if I lose?" Resisting Lin Hongfei's temptation, Mao Donghai asked Lin Hongfei with difficulty.

"If you lose, I won't ask you for an Audi 100, as long as you publish a special issue to introduce our company's car."

I thought it was a great condition! Mao Donghai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief!

If the car designed by Lin Hongfei is really hot to the extent that it is difficult to find a car and has to increase the price of the car, even if Lin Hongfei does not make such a request, as the most authoritative automobile media in China, if "Friends of the Auto" does not publish a special issue of this car, it is simply sorry for his authoritative position in the field of domestic automotive media.

It's just that despite this, Mao Donghai still can't believe it, how can this be considered to be his own advantage, and repeatedly confirmed to Lin Hongfei, "Mr. Lin, there is only such a condition?" ”

"There is only one condition!" Lin Hongfei nodded affirmatively.

"Deal!" This time, Mao Donghai didn't have any hesitation, not only did he not have any hesitation, but he still couldn't wait, as if he was afraid that Lin Hongfei would regret it in the next moment...... They are really careful, but in fact, Lin Hongfei is worried that the possibility that they will not agree is a little greater.

In the eyes of Mao Donghai and the four of them, Lin Hongfei lost this bet, and when they thought that Xiao Xiali of the magazine could change their shotguns into an Audi 100, the four of them couldn't stop laughing.

"Deal." Lin Hongfei also smiled, on the surface, no matter whether he lost or won, he didn't seem to take too much advantage, but sometimes winning or losing can only be seen clearly outside the market, he believes that even if it takes another half an hour, I'm afraid the expressions of these three people will not be so bright.

…………………………………………

"Mr. Lin, according to the plan, the next step is our test drive, right?" After determining that Lin Hongfei would definitely "give" himself an Audi 100, Mao Donghai was in a good mood and asked Lin Hongfei with a smile.

Since he has taken the benefits of others, he naturally has to help Lin Hongfei do something, as the saying goes, take people with short hands and eat people with short mouths, although Mao Donghai doesn't agree with this sentence very much, but he still agrees with this sentence in his heart.

"Of course," Lin Hongfei didn't see any pain on his face, nodded and asked, "Editor-in-Chief Mao, who will be in charge of the test?" Not enough to say first, this test is to give you confidence that according to our previous agreement, you are not allowed to take interior photos...... Since it's a spy photo, it should look like a spy photo, right? ”

"That's right." Mao Donghai nodded, although Mao Donghai was a little regretful that he couldn't take interior photos, but just like Lin Hongfei said, according to the previous agreement between the two parties, since it is the so-called "spy photo", then naturally there must be a spy photo, if even a clear interior photo has been taken, can it still be called a spy photo?

With a straight face, he said to Lao Li, "Lao Li, you should work hard." ”

"Editor-in-chief, you're polite, what's the hard work of driving a car?" Lao Li laughed twice, he really didn't take this simple test seriously...... It's just a lap on the asphalt, and there is not even a pile bucket needed for the test, what kind of test is this?

Mao Donghai naturally knew this and nodded.

Lin Hongfei suddenly interjected, "By the way, Master Li, which car are you going to drive?" ”

There were two cars at the scene, one manual and one automatic, which everyone had known for a long time, but now, Lin Hongfei's words made Lao Li, Mao Donghai and others a little puzzled, "What?" Mr. Lin, don't you try both cars? ”

"Of course not, how can such valuable news break out all at once?" Lin Hongfei smiled thiefly and turned his head to look at Mao Donghai, "Editor-in-chief Mao, don't you think it's a good idea to send a simple observation of the readers' reactions?" ”

yes, how did I not think of that? Mao Donghai's eyes were sharp, and he thought for a moment, and then instructed Lao Li, "Lao Li, you will drive that manual transmission car today...... Well, I haven't heard of any automatic transmission car in the world that has six forward gears, maybe readers will be interested in this. ”

As a car evaluator, he naturally has nothing to do with his boss's orders, although he was slightly disappointed that he couldn't drive an automatic car this time, but thinking that the next luxury cars are all automatic, Lao Li's mood suddenly became a lot happier.
