"From a simple technical perspective, the sports cars of those Japanese car companies have good performance."

"It's just that the brand is a little worse."

"But it doesn't matter if it is used in the R&D field."

Zao Yongxiang immediately agreed.

The boss has spoken, and he has to agree if he doesn’t agree.

Soon Cao Yang's words made a lot of sense, and he had no reason to refute.

"Mr. Cao, then our sales department will readjust the report information of the start-up meeting in the direction you said?"

"Can you release some news appropriately later so that we can keep our Star Cars' popularity?"

"It can also further enhance the style of the coupe model of Ziweixing."

In addition to considering cooperating with the research institute to develop new models, Zeng Tingting now needs to consider how to sell Ziweixing, which is about to enter mass production.

After all, according to the current situation, although the price has not been finalized, it is definitely more than 500,000 yuan.

This price is really not cheap.

"No problem, I will provide some renderings and cooperate with the sales department to carry out some early promotions."

Continuously releasing various news and maintaining the popularity of Star Cars is the general direction that Cao Yang himself set.

So he naturally had no objection to Zeng Tingting's proposal.

Soon, the start-up meetings of Star 2 and Star 3 were officially held within Star Circuit Automobile.

Although some people inside know that Xingchen 2 is the large SUV Wenqu Star, and Xingchen 3 is the sports car Leo.

However, in the future, you need to send out pictures and quotes to the outside world. In order to keep them as confidential as possible, you must still use codes during various communications.

It’s just that the code of Star Cars is quite straightforward.

...

"Brother, I'm still very awesome!"

"Next to Nanshan Industrial Park, investing specifically for Xingchen Automobile a hot stamping production line and a stamping line with four doors and two covers."

"Now it seems that when Xingchen 2 and Xingchen 3 are mass-produced, our production lines will be at full load, and we need to consider adding a hot stamping production line."

The new model has been officially launched. As a purchasing department, we must grasp the production capacity of key components.

After all, it takes a certain amount of time to invest in new production lines or factories.

If the notification is too late, it will not be able to catch up.

So although how many hot stamping parts will be used in Xingchen 2 and Xingchen 3 will eventually be used, it has not been determined yet.

However, the number of hot stamping parts on each car will not be less than that on Star One, which is certain.

Even the integrated hot stamping forming technology of door knockers was mentioned at the launch meeting of Xingchen 3.

This means that the reinforcements around the cockpit will be made using hot stamping technology.

At that time, the production capacity load of Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory will definitely be increased to a satisfactory level.

"Mr. Cao never treats people unfairly."

"Since they arranged for someone to notify us to build a new factory, it means that there is a relatively comprehensive plan within Nanshan Group."

"It's just that some news people may not necessarily speed us up ahead of time."

Guo Shuyin's mentality is relatively stable.

When Xingchen Automobile Procurement Department asked them to confirm the production capacity, he just breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now BYD is also preparing to use some hot stamping molded parts on next year's S6 facelifted models."

"Gely and Chery also have demands in this regard. Brother, are we going to make a new hot stamping production line near the Magic City? Is it almost necessary to confirm?"

At the current Yangcheng Huaqiang Factory, the hot stamping forming technology is already well-known in China.

In addition to the models of Great Wall Motors and Star Motors, several other manufacturers have basically determined the hot stamping molded parts to use them.

This is definitely a very good sign.

"There should be a conclusion this month."

"If the orders of the MoCity Volkswagen and MoCity General cannot be confirmed, we will go directly to buy land to build a hot stamping factory, which is still relatively risky."

"It's better to add a production line directly to Yangcheng."

Guo Shuyin is not such a radical person.

Although hot stamping forming technology is very popular now, after all, except Great Wall Motors, no one has yet to mass produce.

Huaqiang Factory has not made much money in this field.

Even most of the investment in factory equipment has not been recovered yet.

To continue to expand the factory, it means that you need to continue to seek bank loans.

This also made Guo Shuyin feel a little pressure.

"I will start to go to various customers next week and finalize all orders for new models."

Guo Shufu was no longer worried and was about to go out and implement the order in person.

...

"Mr. Cheng, can your w12 engine be developed smoothly this year?"

Even if the engine fails, the responsibility is not on Yongxiang.

But this will definitely affect the development schedule of Star II and Star III.

It will even affect everyone's confidence in development.

So after the start-up meeting, Zao Yongxiang soon came to Nanshan Engine alone to confirm the progress of the research and development of the w12 engine.

"The prototype has been produced, and the parameters in all aspects are very good."

"This engine is definitely not worse than Volkswagen's W12, and it is not weak at all compared to other manufacturers' v12."

"But now is the development of crankshaft parts of this engine, and there are still some details that need to be improved."

"Otherwise, the engine noise and durability life will not meet the design requirements."

Cheng Tao naturally had nothing to hide from Rao Yongxiang.

The w12 engine is a product spliced ​​with two Nanshan 3.0t turbocharged engines.

As the two 3.0t crankshafts shared by them, they are the most critical component in w12.

However, the processing technology requirements for parts like crankshafts are also very high.

A little difference in accuracy will affect life span.

"Our Star II and Star III will not need to use the w12 engine in the second half of next year."

"However, Cao always wants to launch the high-performance version of StarChen One in the first half of next year."

"You have to hurry up."

After hearing Cheng Tao's words, Rao Yongxiang felt some confidence in his heart.

Although the w12 engine has not been developed, the overall progress is still good.

The difficulties that are currently left should also be solved within six months.

Then he wasn't very worried.

"Let's try to use the five-axis CNC lathe newly developed by Nanshan Equipment to process the crankshaft, and at the same time discuss with Nanshan Special Steel to improve the composition of the crankshaft special steel."

"There should be hopeful that these problems will be solved this year."

"If it really doesn't work, we will report to Mr. Cao again to seek support."

Cheng Tao naturally knew why Rao Yongxiang was so concerned about the development progress of the w12 engine.

As the main engines of Star II and Star III, the importance of the W12 is unquestionable.

"If you need any cooperation from the institute, you have to say it directly."

"As long as there is no problem with the powertrain and the appearance of the model, our new model will be more than half successful."

Zao Yongxiang’s daily task is to confirm the supply and development of major components one by one.

As for the specific design tasks, he doesn't need to do it.

You can't let him, the vice president of R&D, draw pictures, right?

...

"Mr. Cao, the Nanshan gearbox has been discussing whether to start the development of 9at or 10at in the past few days."

"Although the current plans of Star II and Star III use 8at automatic transmissions, as technical reserves, 9at or 10at may need to be involved sooner or later."

"Now the development of the 8at automatic transmission has been basically completed, and the subsequent improvements will be made only in a targeted manner."
To be continued...
