Zhang Shiqian walked into the office of Guangwan Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. holding the new car model designed by Nanwan for GAC.
Xie Yinping, general manager of GAC Motors, looked at the concept drawing of the new car for a long time without saying a word.
This car, named Meirui by Nanwan, looks much better than the Peugeot 505 they produced previously.
This Camry model does not adopt the boxy design of the original Camry. Wanfeng uses its sixth-generation model.
That is the 2007 version of the Camry model, but its size is slightly smaller.
This certainly has nothing to do with Toyota. Their car models still don't know where to find their sunshine.
The original car was a 2.0L car, but now it has become a 1.6L car, making the whole car look more compact.
The car will have three models: regular version, pilot version and elite version.
They use the inline four-cylinder NW478 engine, NW478A engine and NW478B engine respectively.
The last engine is a multi-point electronic injection engine.
The engine has a maximum horsepower of 135 and a maximum torque of 172.
The transmission options are a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic.
Front-wheel drive, front suspension is McPherson independent suspension, and rear suspension is link strut independent suspension.
The front brakes are ventilated discs, while the rear brakes are drums.
There are airbags in the driver and passenger seats. The regular and pilot versions do not have sunroofs, while the elite version has a single sunroof.
There were also some configurations that Xie Yinping had never heard of. They looked very high-end, but they also made him worry about the cost of the car.
"Mr. Zhang! I wonder how much a car like this would cost?"
Zhang Shiqian is now also one of the two CEOs of Guangwan Automobile.
"Mr. Xie! Don't be fooled by this car's appearance of exceptional luxury. It's actually quite affordable. Nanwan said the standard version won't cost more than 80,000 yuan. The Pilot version will cost a few thousand yuan more, but definitely no more than 10,000 yuan. Only the Elite version is more expensive. After all, it uses electronic fuel injection and an automatic transmission. These two things alone will add 20,000 yuan to the cost. Add in the interior trim and everything, and the estimated cost will be close to 110,000 yuan."
Xie Yinping was greatly surprised when he heard these numbers: "So few?"
"I understand Nanwan's approach to car manufacturing. They've only just started using electronic fuel injection and automatic transmissions. Once they become widely available, the price will drop significantly."
"So how much will we sell this car for?"
"Nanwan said that GAC has the final say on pricing, but as long as the price isn't too outrageous, it's fine."
Xie Yinping was very happy with this suggestion.
Next, GAC will dismantle the original logo production line and replace some mold equipment.
Nanwan has a professional mold supporting factory that can provide all of these things.
Of course, Xiwan can finally produce cars. The car that Xiwan wants to introduce is the Qingfeng model, so as to avoid a conflict of interest with Guangwan.
GAC is busy dismantling old equipment, Xiwan is busy installing equipment, and Nanwan is building the new Meirui automobile production line and supporting molds.
Everyone is busy, only someone is idle.
It can't be said that he was idle, he was seeing off Peng Guangming and others.
Peng Guangming has been studying in Nanwan with twenty or thirty people for half a year. Today is the day they return to Changqi.
Over the past six months, they have gained a comprehensive understanding of the entire Nanwan microvan process from manufacturing to marketing.
"Mr. Wan! After watching your company's operations, I feel hopeless. Without the country's support, I think Nanwan will crush Changqi in a matter of minutes."
Wan Feng laughed heartily. "Mr. Peng! We absolutely have no intention of knocking down or stepping on our domestic counterparts. Our country is big enough, and as long as your products are excellent, we can definitely accommodate them. In fact, if Changqi can lower its profile, I would be happy to cooperate with Changqi."
Peng Guangming shook his head: "Alas! It's hard to put it into words!"
"If it doesn't work out, why not become independent and be responsible for your own profits and losses? Nanwan will give you full support then."
Peng Guangming carefully considered Wan Feng's suggestion, then smiled bitterly: "That's like building a new car factory. That won't work. I don't have the conditions for that."
Yes, if Peng Guangming really wants to build cars independently, it would be equivalent to building a new factory, and Changqi will not provide him with any resources.
"Maybe I'll build a branch factory in Tianjing Beihe in the future, and then you can bring your team to manage the branch factory for me."
Wan Feng really admired Peng Guangming. If he wasn't a little older, Wan Feng would have kept him at all costs.
Peng Guangming smiled bitterly: "Let's see. If there is really no way, I will consider it."
Peng Guangming and others chartered a bus back to Changchun. When the bus arrived, Peng Guangming and others boarded the bus.
Watching the car that Peng Guangming was riding in slowly leaving, Wan Feng somehow remembered the lyrics of a song: Silently shedding tears, the sound of camel bells ringing in my ears.
It is seven o'clock in the morning. It is 1,200 miles from here to Changchun, and the bus takes about ten hours. It is estimated that it will be dark when Peng Guangming and his friends return to Changchun.
After seeing Peng Guangming off at Wankou Station, Wan Feng returned to Nandawan and walked into the useless factory site.
This place has been transformed into a learning and entertainment base for Nanwan Group employees.
The original building only needs to be divided and renovated, and then one side needs to be redecorated and some learning and entertainment equipment can be purchased.
Therefore, although this entertainment and learning center was completed several months later than the Jiangwei Cultural Center, it was completed earlier than the village cultural center.
All the equipment in the old factory youth activity center was moved here, and a lot of new equipment was also purchased.
Starting tonight, it will be open to employees of South Bay Group.
Zhou Liming accompanied Wan Feng to inspect each area.
The factory area covering 100 acres was divided into two parts.
The front half is the entertainment area, and the back half is for studying.
The entertainment area includes areas for playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, areas for playing musical instruments and singing, and areas for sports activities.
The sports area covers a large area. Not only does it have an outdoor lighted court, but Zhou Liming also converted a workshop originally intended for assembling cars into a basketball court and swimming pool.
This surprised Wan Feng a little. Is this height enough?
When I walked into the basketball hall, I saw that the ground inside the basketball hall had been dug two meters deep, so the height was created.
Although the area of the stadium is not too large and can only seat a few hundred people, it is indeed an indoor stadium.
The study area is located in the back half of the center and includes a library reading room, computer room, etc.
The computer room is equipped with 500 computers and is divided into a game area and a network area.
There is a special area for those who play games and make noise. Once the door is closed, no one will care how noisy they are.
This center also cost tens of millions.
Wan Feng nodded in satisfaction. This way, the Nanwan Group's staff, whether they were staying or commuting, would have a place to vent their energy.
This will save these wild mountain cats who have no wives or men from thinking about foreign things all day long.
