Seeing this, General Manager Gianvito Blank smiled unconsciously and immediately came to Fang Lang's side, pointing at the blueprint and saying:
"Boss, this is a beauty, right?"
Fang Lang did not answer the other party's question, but continued to observe the design carefully. Gradually, he found that he seemed to have seen this car in a car magazine in later generations.
According to reports, this is one of Mercedes-Benz's most successful models after the war. The model seems to be called Mercedes-Benz 300SL, and there should be a convertible entry-level Mercedes-Benz 190SL later.
Both cars are enthusiastically admired by car enthusiasts. Even though their selling prices are nearly four times higher than ordinary Mercedes-Benz sedans, their sales are still booming.
Many famous people in later generations are proud to collect a Mercedes-Benz 190SL, including Elvis Presley and Mark Jackson.
What really impressed Fang Lang about the Mercedes-Benz 190SL was a woman, a beautiful woman named Grace Kelly, who was known as the most beautiful princess of Monaco.
But when she was driving an orange-red Mercedes-Benz 190SL on the coastal highway of Monte Carlo, her charming smile when she turned around left a deep impression on Fang Lang's mind.
When Fang Lang saw the design drawing today, the memory of this classic scene instantly came to his mind.
...
...
Hearing the words of General Manager Gianvito Blank, Fang Lang murmured unconsciously:
"Yes! She is such a beauty."
At this moment, Gianvito Blank understood that his boss was deeply attracted by this car model. He calmly waved to a middle-aged man in the office.
The middle-aged man walked quickly forward with a little excitement and came in front of the few people.
"Boss, this Mr. Rudolf is the chief designer of our first design studio and the designer of this car. If you have any questions, he can answer them for you."
Apparently, Gianvito Blank also admired this talented designer and wanted to recommend him to his boss.
Hearing this, Fang Lang slowly withdrew his gaze from the design drawing, and followed Gianvito Blank's guidance to look at the middle-aged man beside him.
It was a short and fat man in his forties, at most 1.65 meters tall, holding a courtesy in his hand, bending over to salute him, with the shiny scalp of his Mediterranean hairstyle facing him.
It was hard for Fang Lang to imagine that a designer who could design such an excellent appearance would actually look like this. Is it true that one can become stronger just by becoming bald?
Of course, these were just fleeting thoughts in his mind and he would never reveal them.
He extended his right hand to the designer named Rudolph and said with a smile:
"Mr. Rudolph, your work is amazing."
Rudolf bowed and saluted, knowing that his work had caught the boss's eye, and he was very excited. Seeing Fang Lang's outstretched right hand, he quickly shook it.
"This is also the most proud work of my life. I'm glad you like it."
Fang Lang smiled slightly when he heard this, then turned to Janvito Blank and said:
"Has the model of this car been determined?"
Gianvito Blank was stunned when he heard this, not understanding why his boss changed the subject so quickly, but he still quickly replied:
"not yet."
"Then let's name it Rudolph!"
He said, patting the designer Rudolph's arm.
Rudolph, who was wondering why Fang Lang turned around to ask other questions, was a little surprised. His eyes widened and he looked at the boss in front of him in disbelief when he heard what was said.
What an honor it is to have a car model named after you! At this moment, Rudolph felt like he was floating in the clouds, and his legs felt weak.
The other people in the office also looked at them in disbelief. Slowly, everyone's gaze turned into envy, and the thought of "he can be replaced" arose in their hearts.
Obviously, this is what Fang Lang wants to achieve.
As the general manager, Gianvito Blank also reacted quickly. Although he understood the boss's intention, he couldn't help but envy this guy Rudolph.
He quickly replied:
"Yes, boss! From now on this project will be called Mercedes-Rudolf."
After saying this, he did not forget to stretch out his hand towards Rudolph and said:
"Congratulations, Mr. Rudolph. You will have to work hard next."
Gianvito Blank's words made Rodolfo almost forget his own name. He reached out his hand in a daze and shook hands with Gianvito Blank.
Seeing Rodolfo's look, Gianvito Blank glanced at Fang Lang without saying a word, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
When Fang Lang heard Gianvito Blank name the project Mercedes-Benz-Rudolph, he smiled slightly and turned his gaze to the design drawings again.
"Mercedes-Benz-Rudolf, um! It's a good name, I think we can make it into a series!
The gull-wing doors that open upwards are a genius idea, and the graceful curves are fascinating. I think we can consider designing the next model of this model as a convertible sports car!
What do you think, Mr. Rudolph?"
Rudolph, who was floating in the clouds, was shocked when he heard the words and was pulled back by the sky. He looked at his own design drawing. His eyes gradually became firm and gradually his eyes began to shine.
He quickly loosened his right hand that was holding that of Gianvito Blank, picked up the drawing board beside him, and began to draw graceful arcs on it with a sketch pen.
Soon, a vehicle that was similar to the design drawing appeared on paper, except that the original roof was removed, turning it into a convertible sports car with only a windshield.
As Rudolph painted, everyone's attention was drawn to the painting. When the concept drawing of the vehicle appeared, everyone's eyes became excited.
Fang Lang also showed a satisfied smile. He didn't expect that just by his casual remark, the designer named Rudolf in front of him immediately burst into inspiration and drew the appearance of the world-famous Mercedes-Benz 190SL that Fang Lang had seen in later generations.
Gianvito Blank had a look of astonishment on his face, and his eyes kept sliding across Fang Lang, Rodolfo, and the concept map.
Even Rudolf himself was looking at the work in his hand with amazement. When he looked at Fang Lang again, there was gratitude and a hint of admiration in his eyes.
After Fang Lang looked at it for a while, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Rudolph:
"Do you have any paint? I want to see if the orange-red car body will look amazing."
Hearing this, Gianvito Blank couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect that Fang Lang would want to make the car orange-red, which is a very bold color.
Compared with the almost monotonous black car bodies nowadays, it is even a bit unorthodox.
But when Rudolph heard it, his eyes lit up, and he turned around and began to search on the table, but there was obviously no such color on the table.
Rudolph did not give up. He took out a box from under his desk, took out a set of watercolor paints, mixed several different colors together, and soon it turned into orange-red.
Fang Lang saw this and stepped forward and said:
“I think it could be redder.”
Hearing Fang Lang's words, Rudolph added some red, and soon after a while of stirring, a brand new color appeared in front of everyone.
Fang Lang nodded. Seeing this, Rudolph picked up the paintbrush and began to color the concept map. The picture was not big to begin with, so Rudolph painted it in no time.
As the color on the car body began to appear, everyone's attention was once again deeply attracted, and they couldn't help but take a breath. It was truly amazing.
Gianvito Blank, who had been frowning, was now so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. A voice in his heart told him that as long as this car was manufactured, Mercedes-Benz would be completely repositioned.
A series of nouns such as "luxury, elegance, and precision" flashed through his mind. In front of such a vehicle, no Ford is good enough.
Even Rudolf himself did not expect that this coupe would become so attractive after changing to such a color. Now he can imagine what the scene would be like when such a car is driving on the road. The attention of people around him should be attracted by it!
Fang Lang felt that the product on the drawing was almost the same as the Mercedes-Benz 190SL in his memory, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by this work, Fang Lang's mouth curled up slightly, and he said to Gianvito Blank beside him:
“Such an excellent exterior design must be matched with a sufficiently excellent powertrain and a comfortable suspension system. Only in this way can our Mercedes-Benz-Rudolf series become a classic.”
Gianvito Blank, who was standing by, of course understood this and nodded seriously.
"We originally planned to transplant the powertrain of the racing car outside to this new model. From the beginning, we positioned this model as a sports car, so we used such a bold design."
Hearing this, Fang Lang nodded. Since these two Mercedes-Benz cars were so popular all over the world, it goes without saying that the powertrain and suspension system of this car would definitely not be bad.
My appearance will probably at most speed up the launch of these two models.
After all, the car model that the boss likes will definitely be paid special attention to by the subordinates, and will be given priority!
Looking at Rudolph who was still thinking about the blueprint beside him, Fang Lang smiled, patted his arm and said:
"Well done, Mr. Rudolph.
Please continue to work hard and bring more excellent works to our Mercedes-Benz-Rudolph series."
Fang Lang's approach of only giving incentives but not rewards is too capitalist. Gianvito Blank on the side was also a little surprised.
In fact, it was not that Fang Lang was reluctant to give money to reward the other party, but that he did not want to undermine the company's system. Needless to say, every company has its own clear reward and punishment system, and the boss cannot arbitrarily distribute rewards to individuals based on his personal preferences.
This can easily cause dissatisfaction among other employees, leading to disharmony within the company. This is different from Fang Lang's proposal of a task achievement reward to the company's management when he first came in.
Rudolf was now apparently still immersed in the excitement that a series of car models would be named after him, and he was completely unaware that, apart from some false reputation, Fang Lang had not given any actual material rewards.
After hearing Fang Lang's words, he looked serious, bowed solemnly to Fang Lang again, and said seriously:
"Thank you for your trust, boss. I will work harder in the future for Mercedes-Benz-Rudolf!"
Finally, when the words "For Mercedes-Benz-Rudolf" came out, Fang Lang could hear the trembling in the voice. Obviously, Mr. Rudolf might be bound by this name for the rest of his life.
In response, Fang Lang just smiled slightly and winked at Gianvito Blank, indicating that he could move on to other things.
