Chapter 89 I don't want 20, I only want 10

"Jiang, if you were to design a new off-road vehicle or sedan, would you be confident that it would become as classic as the new BJ212?"

Please ask Jiang Hui to help General Motors design the appearance of a car.

This is Austin's main purpose.

Of course, it would be best if we could poach people directly to General Motors.

Whether it is studying abroad or going directly for exchange study, as long as Jiang Hui is willing, General Motors can handle all the arrangements in the United States.

"Whether a car can become a classic or not will ultimately be verified by the market."

"But I do have some ideas in my mind, and I can simply draw a sketch for everyone to feel."

Words are not enough. Without some real evidence, there is no way to shock those old foxes at General Motors.

Draw some rough sketches to give people a sense of the stunning appearance, and don't worry too much about being copied.

Of course, Jiang Hui was also gambling.

If there is someone in Austin or elsewhere who is proficient in exterior design, then the appearance of a car model can be further improved based on sketches alone.

As for non-professionals, even if the complete appearance design drawings are shown to others, they will not be able to copy them.

At most, we can bring back some ideas and let the designers design according to these ideas.

But this kind of thing is too illusory and will most likely be useless in the end.

"My suite is fully stocked with all kinds of paper and pens. I think everyone should have finished eating. Why don't we go upstairs to my suite to continue the conversation?"

Murphy is looking forward to what Jiang Hui's next sketch will look like.

If it is really amazing, then there will be a lot of topics to discuss.

Jiang Hui also wanted to know what General Motors was planning. Since they had almost finished eating, they decided to go upstairs and talk.

Soon, the group arrived at Murphy's suite.

This is a large suite with three rooms and a living room. It is estimated to be over 100 square meters, which is quite large.

Of course, as the chairman of General Motors, it is normal for him to live in a villa, let alone a suite.

However, at this stage in China, the suite at the Capital Hotel is basically the most luxurious room for receiving the General Motors delegation.

Without waiting for Jiang Hui to find a seat to sit down, Austin actively handed him a pen and paper.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, you will know it by taking it out for a walk.

Jiang Hui didn't waste any time and just drew the LS400 that Toyota used on Lexus in its previous life with a few strokes.

Although the exterior sketch is drawn with only a few strokes, one can get a clear idea of ​​the car's appearance.

It is actually very difficult to achieve this.

Whether it is Murphy or Austin, they both know what they are doing.

"This car looks very grand and has a sense of luxury. Are you considering Cadillac?"

Austin stared at the sketch on the table and was shocked.

The Lexus LS series was born in 1989. It made its stunning debut with the first model LS400, and quickly set a new benchmark in the global luxury car market.

The body lines are smooth and elegant, revealing solemnity in low-keyness, like a solidified symphony. Every arc and every light and shadow have been carefully carved to show the ultimate balanced beauty.

The iconic chrome grille and deep headlights complement each other, like a humble aristocrat, exuding an aura that cannot be ignored even in silence.

This is a rare treasure that carries deep emotions and witnesses the glory of the times.

Its existence is not only a mechanical masterpiece of art, but also a vivid portrayal of the noble taste and exquisite craftsmanship of that golden age.

It can be said that Jiang Hui’s first move was a trump card, in order to open up the situation first.

On the way here, he was also thinking about the impact of this meeting on his future construction of the automobile empire. Everything is difficult at the beginning. It is simply not realistic to set up a private automobile company in China in a short period of time.

Even if Jiang Hui was allowed to do it later, a capital and technology intensive enterprise like automobiles is not something that ordinary people can handle.

So no matter from which angle you consider it, it is essential to make as much first pot of gold as possible.

Now is a good opportunity.

Although General Motors is now facing pressure from Japanese car companies, they are also very wealthy and can feed Jiang Hui with just a little bit of their money.

"It can be used on Cadillac or Buick."

"But I personally support using it on Cadillac as a new generation flagship sedan."

"GM has a very deep technical background in large-displacement engines, which can be used in this car. I think it will become a more classic car than the Cadillac El Dorado."

Jiang Hui did not continue spending. The conditions had not been negotiated yet, so why draw so many paintings?
It is enough to be able to divert people's attraction and bring them a huge impact.

"Jiang, come to GM. Whether you want to study abroad at an Ivy League university or come to GM for a job exchange, I can help arrange it."

Austin was hit hardest.

He is the design director of General Motors. When has he ever seen his designers come up with a car that is so stunning and can become a classic at first glance in such a short time?

Even if Jiang Hui did not draw it on the spur of the moment but had designed it beforehand, it would still be very remarkable.

"Austin, I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to settle abroad at the moment. The Capital Automobile Factory still needs me."

Jiang Hui directly rejected Austin's invitation.

Although the craze for going abroad will soon emerge, his views on foreign countries are really different from those of most people of this era.

There is nothing wrong with going out for travel or business trip occasionally.

If you want to settle down abroad, then forget it.

Why can't you just live a good life in your own country? Why do you have to be a fifth-class citizen?
Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?

"If I understand correctly, your salary in China will not exceed 100 RMB per month."

"As long as you go to GM, your monthly salary can reach at least $10000."

Coercion and inducement.

Intimidation is definitely not going to work, so the only option is bribery.

I have to say that they are willing to invest.

In 1978, the monthly salary was over US dollars. If one could work abroad for a few years and then return to China, it would be a clear leap in life.

But Jiang Hui remained unmoved. Apart from a smile on his face, he did not give any response.

"Can you help me draw the appearance of this model? General Motors is willing to pay a high price of $20 to buy this design. Is that okay?"

Jiang Hui's reaction did not surprise Austin.

When we were communicating today, he actually already had the answer.

But if we can't get the people, we must get the new car's exterior design.

Since the other party is willing to draw this sketch, it means everything is possible.

"I don't want $20, I just want $10."

"But I have a condition!"

Jiang Hui's answer once again surprised everyone.
