After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 552: Cadillac -year old fan
"Boss Wang, how is the matter going?"

After leaving the dock, Lu Liang came to Zhangjiang Science Park, where he met Xiao Wang.

In order to help him better retain those people in General Motors and thank him for his contribution to the improvement of the new car.

Lu Liang gave him the title of informal consultant, with no responsibilities and no salary, to make it easier for him to move in and out of the R&D department.

"Eight have already indicated they want to stay, and another five have softened their stance a bit but are still hesitating."

Xiao Wang rolled his eyes and handed over a document: "The last five have families and families in the United States, so I can't handle them."

When he is needed, he is called Mr. Wang, and on weekdays he is called Little Wang. Lu Liang is really not an ordinary dog.

"Eight are enough." Lu Liang smiled and handed the information to Xu Jiawei, asking him to be responsible for the follow-up arrangements.

Suddenly asked: "Do you have any plans for next month?"

"Except that the pandas are about to be released from the six-month ban, there shouldn't be any problems."

"I heard that Route 318 is very popular recently. How about taking a trip with me, heading west, and enjoying the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland?"

Lu Liang smiled and clapped his hand on the front of the car. The chassis tuning has come to an end. What follows is various official and unofficial tests, and finally the warm-up before the press conference.

He issued a task, requiring administrative executives such as Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng, and technical executives such as Zhang Peiqiang and Qin Siyuan to each drive a minimum of 3,000 kilometers and participate in the vehicle performance and energy consumption test.

Lu Liang plans to pick a time, take a few people, drive thousands of kilometers, go directly from Shanghai to the snowy area, live broadcast the entire journey, and be a travel blogger for a few days.

"Don't go."

Xiao Wang refused without a second thought, his face full of contempt: "I think you just want to find a free driver."

It's not like he hasn't driven a coupe before. This thing is only suitable for fun in the city. Once the range exceeds 300 kilometers, everything will feel wrong.

Three thousand kilometers from the Magic City to the snowy area, it sounds good, all the way west, admiring the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland, but after this trip, the lumbar disc is probably going to herniate.

"We have a smart cockpit and massage seats. We can make it cool or hot as you like. It's very comfortable."

"I'm not going either."

Xiao Wang waved his hand and left decisively, as if he had made up his mind.

“It’s getting better and better.”

Life is not easy, Lao Lu sighed.

He came to the workshop where the chassis was adjusted.

Lauterborn looked worried. In at most a week, they would finish their work in China and return to Detroit.

But he suddenly discovered,
People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.

Although he has not received any resignation letters from members, he has heard and seen some clues.

Some people got girlfriends, some are studying Chinese hard, and some got local cars for no apparent reason.

As expected, the situation he was most worried about occurred. There were nineteen people when they came, but there were probably less than ten left.

Flannery earned 50 million U.S. dollars in training fees from Lu Liang, and directly sacrificed half of the team's technicians.

This deal is a huge loss. Although the technical patents are still universal, talent is the foundation of everything.

"Mr. Lauter, are you used to living in the Magic City during this period?" Lu Liang greeted with a smile on his face.

"I'm quite used to it." Laut called a young man and handed the chassis data report to Lu Liang.

Traditional fuel vehicles, because of the presence of the engine, can easily lead to a front-heavy and rear-light chassis imbalance.

However, new energy vehicles do not have this problem. The battery that replaces the engine is installed under the car, and the body of the car is relatively heavier, which can balance the front and back well and achieve a stabilizing effect.

It can now pass the moose test at a speed of 80 km/h. After being tuned by their team, it can drive smoothly even if it encounters shallow potholes or uneven roads.

If compared with fuel vehicles, such as Pame and President, he cannot guarantee that this system can completely surpass the others.

But if it only competes with Ideal One, NIO es8, Tesla Maodou 3, Maodou Y, X and the like, then it will definitely beat the opponent.

Fifty million US dollars, to tune a coupe and an SUV, an average of 2500 million US dollars each.

Lu Liang didn't waste the money, especially since he seemed to have chosen NIO as his scapegoat.

If a new car launch conference is held one day, he can confidently say that their new car's chassis system is far ahead of its peers in the industry.

"Mr. Lauter, have you ever thought about continuing to work at Dongda?"

Lu Liang handed the data report to Liao Jie. Before Lauterborn could say no, he said, "GM is a regular in the Fortune 500, but it has been around for too long." "The longer a company exists, the more complicated its internal relationships become, and the dividends have long been reaped by the first generation."

"Not only do they take everything away, they also bring in their own relatives and friends to become vampires attached to the company."

"Cadillac was once so glorious. It was the presidential car and the luxury car that countless successful people dreamed of."

"But what about now? They can't compete with BMW and Mercedes-Benz in the mid-to-high-end market, and they can't compete with Honda and Toyota in the mid-to-low-end market."

"I've been stuck in the middle for many years."

"Without the CT5 and XT5 developed under your leadership, our basic market competitiveness would no longer exist."

"However, even if you led the team to develop these two cars, are the revenues good now?"

Lu Liang is like a 30-year-old fan of Cadillac, angry at its lack of fighting spirit and sad at its misfortune.

He saw that Laut no longer had the resistance he had back then, but he just needed someone to help him speak his mind.

Lu Liang was very happy to be the mouthpiece and find a reason for him to convince himself to leave General Motors.

"New energy is a brand new market. It will definitely not be able to completely replace the market position of fuel vehicles. However, our country has the largest population and the largest market in the world. With the support of the state, it can definitely compete with fuel vehicles."

"Mr. Lauter, on behalf of Tianxing Technology, I sincerely invite you to join us as CTO to make up for our shortcomings in the chassis field."

Lauterborn was silent for a long time and thought for a long time. Lu Liang really valued him very much, much more than Flannery.

CTO, also known as Chief Technology Officer, is the company's technical administrative manager, responsible for formulating technical vision and strategy and overseeing technological research and development.

Although Lu Liang did not mention the salary and benefits, the position itself is enough to explain the benefits, which are often ranked in the top five in the company, and sometimes even in the top three.

Lauterborn groaned for a while and said, "Mr. Lu, I need some time to think about it. I will give you an answer before I leave the Magic City."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Lu Liang bowed slightly and said no more.

After all, he has said so much and invited me to be CTO. If I still don’t agree, it only means that they are not destined to be together.

Leaving Zhangjiang Science Park and returning to New International.

Lu Liang found Chen Jinchun, and she could start her performance in the next two months.

"Boss Lu, we are ready~~"

Xiao Chen looked excited and was ready to go.

Over the past year or so, she has stored a total of ten terabytes of video material, which are now finally being put to good use.

These video materials are divided into two parts. One part is the construction process of the Sucheng production base from scratch.

Another part starts with the design sketch of the first model, telling how they selected a dozen from more than a thousand sketches, and then went through ten rounds of voting before finally choosing the coupe model.

The coupe model is just the beginning, there are also safety structure compression tests, collision tests, and the most recent moose test.

The frame code of their first internal test car was not 00001, but 00175.

This number represents the 174 samples that were scrapped due to previous testing, and also represents 174 improvements.

The warehouse is piled high with bicycle frames, with an average custom price of around 200 million yuan. The expenditure on this aspect alone is 3.48 million yuan.

"Next month, I'll take you to the snow area for some fun." Lu Liang suddenly said with a smile.

A car has four seats. Originally, he had reserved four seats for himself, Li Jiahui who was responsible for developing the car system, and Zhang Peiqiang's assistant Liao Jie. The last one was originally reserved for Xiao Wang.

But the sad man refused. Fortunately, he was not irreplaceable, so he decided to take Xiao Chen, the funny guy, with him. At least the journey wouldn't be too boring.

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, he raised his hand and cheered, "Great~ Youth has no price tag, drive straight to Lesa?"

"That's the plan for now. As for the specific departure time, let me see when I'm free during that time."

Lu Liang couldn't help laughing and asked her to edit the video of the production base first and release it directly after it was completed.

"Okay." Xiao Chen giggled. She was going on a self-driving tour at public expense, and her destination was the Potala Palace, which she had always longed to visit.

It was such a great honor to be selected by Boss Lu and come to work at Tianxing.

In this life, she would die here.
