The leader bent down and got into the car, first trying out the feel of the sofa, then turning the steering wheel a few times.

Wan Feng stood one meter away from the car and introduced the features of the car, mainly talking about its various configurations.

The leader sat in the car for a few minutes, got out, turned around and sat in the passenger seat.

"Young man! Drive me around." The leader waved at Wan Feng.

Wan Feng stood there and didn't dare to move. There were several security guards looking around behind him, and he would not tinker with the car without permission.

“Come on!”

Wan Feng pointed at himself and said, "Chief! Are you saying it's me?"

"Right, right! You, if you don't drive your car, who will?"

Wan Feng looked embarrassed: "Is this... is this appropriate?"

"Something inappropriate."

Wan Feng looked back at the various leaders and security personnel behind him.

"Xiao Wan! Go ahead and open it, it's okay." A leader of unknown rank spoke.

Wan Feng then opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

Two people also opened the back door and tried to get in.

"You guys don't need to come up here. We're not going far."

The two men were still hesitating.

A middle-aged man with a dignified look said, "You don't need to follow."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he took the car keys from the Nanwan factory custodian and handed them to Wan Feng: "Young man! Drive slowly!"

Although his tone was a reminder, Wan Feng could hear a strong threat in it.

Wan Feng was tired, but I couldn't do anything, so why was he so nervous?

Wan Feng started the car and slowly drove it away from the original parking spot, explaining as he drove.

"Commander! This is the second sedan our company has developed. The engine and transmission also come from the engine technology of that small Japanese automaker we acquired. This car was launched in 1996. Its biggest feature is its low fuel consumption, around 5 liters per 100 kilometers."

The big boss listened carefully.

Wan Feng said as he drove.

Of course, he couldn't drive the car out of the factory, and even if he drove it in the yard, he couldn't drive too far. If he drove to the other end of the yard, it would be a long distance.

He drove about fifty or sixty meters before turning around and driving back.

"Not bad, not bad. You can hardly hear the sound of the engine when sitting in the car, and the car is also very stable." The car returned at 7 o'clock, and the leader gave his comments after getting off the car.

Wan Feng's car was not as fast as a bicycle, but of course it was more stable.

There are only two types of cars parked on this playground. The Xiongfeng and Hurricane are parked in the eastern half of the yard of the new factory. They cannot be seen from here because there are trees and gardens in the middle of the yard.

"Take us to the workshop."

Wan Feng brought a group of important people into the assembly workshop of Qingfeng Automobile.

The workshop is exceptionally clean.

This is not the time when the leader comes to check the hygiene. It is usually like this here, almost spotless.

The production line in the workshop is working in an orderly manner. Robotic arms are performing their own processing in a regular manner. There is no confusion in each procedure.

There are not many workers in the entire workshop, only about twenty or thirty.

"Is your production line quite advanced? Is it imported from abroad?"

Wan Feng shook his head: "No! We designed and built it ourselves."

"Oh! You also make such an advanced production line?"

"It's too expensive to buy foreign production lines. Even the best ones won't sell them to us. We think it's better to rely on ourselves than on others. So we started to do it ourselves many years ago, from manual production lines to semi-automatic lines and finally flexible fully automatic lines. Now we can design and produce almost all of our production lines ourselves."

"Amazing! Really amazing! This is what it means to do business. I never thought I'd see the spirit of self-improvement that I was hoping to see here. What a surprise."

The big leader sighed.

“Do you still have an automotive R&D department?”

"Yes! The automotive R&D department is currently developing the car the country has assigned them. Would you like to take a look?"

“Go and have a look!”

Coming out of the workshop, we walked west to the scientific research building located between the old and new factories, leaning against Nandashan Mountain.

The car design department is on the fourth floor.

After going up to the fourth floor, Wan Feng first led these people into the design department.

The most common thing in the design department is computers, there are more than a dozen of them, and there is someone typing on the keyboard in front of each computer.

This department is in charge of Gun Fulai. Also here at the moment are designers such as Yimeng. They are currently gathered around a computer to study the three-dimensional image of a car.

"You guys move aside. One of you will stay here to demonstrate our new car to the leaders."

The leaders gathered around this computer, and Wan Feng served as the commentator.

"This is the new car we designed for government agencies. This is a concept drawing of its appearance."

Gun Fulai operated the mouse to display the 3D stereoscopic image of the car from all directions.

This is a sedan that has never appeared on the market. It is dignified and majestic. Although it is just a concept map, it gives people a solid feeling.

"It's so beautiful! I never thought we could design such a beautiful car ourselves." The leader praised sincerely. He really liked the appearance of this car.

Not only did the top leader think it was beautiful, but the other leaders also praised it.

"This is a B-class sedan, and its name is Great Wall! It will be equipped with our own NW479T turbocharged engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, a 2.0 displacement, and a maximum horsepower of 170."

"The Great Wall! Great! The Great Wall is the cultural symbol of our nation, and this name is good." The senior leader praised.

"Comrade Xiao Wan, when will this car be available on the market?" asked a leader behind the big leader.

"That... probably won't be until next year. It's still in the design phase, which will take several months. After the design is completed, the technical integration will be done, and then the prototype will be built. After the prototype is built, it will undergo various tests, including wind tunnel, various environmental tests, and extreme endurance tests. Once the car is fully qualified, it will go through the approval process. The new car is expected to roll off the production line in August next year."

"That's not a long time! You can come up with a new car in just over a year. That's amazing!"

It takes more than a year for a new car to go from design to production line, which is really fast.

It’s unlikely that a new car from abroad will be released in three or four years.

“By the way, is GAC cooperating with you?” the leader asked again.

"Yes! We have partnered to establish a car company called Guangwan."

"So, is GAC producing any new cars now?"

"Yes, they are currently producing a sedan called the Meirui. It rolled off the assembly line in May, and it's only been off the assembly line for over a month now."

"So fast!" Both leaders were surprised.

They just started collaborating last summer, and they’re producing new cars this year?

Isn't this a bit too fast?

When they visit the south this time, they must go and see GAC’s new cars.
