Chapter 255 Platform Strategy
After talking about luxury cars and direct-injection engines, Zhou Fei asked about the sales company, and then let Li Jianneng and Zhang Xiang leave.

However, Zhou Fei is not idle. There are two important meetings that need to be chaired tomorrow, and Zhou Fei has to prepare the meeting materials himself. There is no way to help him prepare, so Zhou Fei can only do it himself.

The meeting in the afternoon was fine. Anyway, he has the models of both cars, so he just needs to capture some pictures. The main thing is the engine meeting in the morning. Zhou Fei has to temporarily prepare the technical plan for direct injection, otherwise he will It's not easy to assign work.

***
In the morning of the next day, Zhou Fei summoned several experts in the company's engine field to seriously discuss with them the matter of developing an in-cylinder direct-injection engine, focusing on demonstrating Zhou Fei's technical transformation plan.

The result of the final demonstration was naturally passed. After all, the technology of direct injection in cylinders was already very mature in the previous life. Zhou Fei just copied the theory from the previous life. How could it fail?
Now that the plan has been approved, Zhou Fei then assigned the specific work plan, requiring the establishment of an in-cylinder direct injection engine project team, and completing a series of development work according to the specified time nodes.

After completing the morning meeting, Zhou Fei held the first high-level meeting this month in the conference room at two o'clock in the afternoon. The theme of the meeting was naturally related to the development of luxury cars.

"Everyone, I called everyone here today. There are two main things I want to tell you. These two things, in the final analysis, can actually be counted as one thing."

After everyone arrived, Zhou Fei said to everyone.

"Including the MPV project being developed by Weipeng Motors, our Mercedes-Benz company currently has a total of three cars, two mass-produced cars, one is still under development, and the Golf is currently selling well. According to our company's mass-produced one, Based on the principle of developing one car, we should enter the development of the next car.”

To be honest, the speed at which Mercedes-Benz launches new cars is really too fast. It has only been more than three months since the Golf was launched on the market, and Zhou Fei is already busy with the development of the next car. , It is simply something that I dare not even think about.

Mercedes-Benz has entered the field of complete vehicles with full budget, that is, in four years, but it has already sold two cars. On average, it can launch a new car every two years. Such a frequency is not unpleasant.

For any other car company, the launch cycle of a new car is at least four to five years, and it may even take longer than five years!

However, Mercedes-Benz only needs half the time of others to launch a new car. If it can maintain this speed of development and surpass other competitors, it is only a matter of time.

"Many people may be concerned about what kind of model our company's next car will be. To be honest, I have been thinking about this issue for a long time. Just a week ago, a piece of news reminded me that this I believe many people have read the news, that is, Dafeng Motor’s Lufeng has once again obtained the exclusive authorization for official vehicles of senior government officials, so the next car of our Mercedes-Benz company will be benchmarked against Dafeng Motor’s Lufeng!”

Zhou Fei looked at everyone and said ambitiously.

Compared with the Lufeng series, isn't that a luxury car?

There was an explosion in the conference room!

To be honest, Zhou Fei's idea is too surprising. Mercedes-Benz has only been manufacturing cars for a few years, and is so eager to launch a luxury car. Will anyone agree?

"Mr. Zhou, don't you seem a little anxious to enter the luxury car market now?"

"Our company currently has a weak foundation, and the development of luxury cars is beyond our reach."

"Lufeng is not a pioneer. Its position in the luxury car field is too stable. There is almost no car that can replace it in the domestic market. If you rush to benchmark this car, it may bring losses to the company. .”

Similar to the initial reactions of Li Jianneng and Zhang Xiang, except for these two people, the rest of the executives felt that it was not a good proposal to deploy the luxury car market.

"I have already discussed the development of luxury cars with Mr. Zhang of the sales company and Mr. Li of the finance department. There are no technical problems. Moreover, I have already designed the first two luxury cars. Today This meeting is held to arrange the work.”

After speaking, Zhou Fei opened the PPT, and soon, everyone saw the 3D models of Audi A4 and A[-].

The moment they saw these two models, everyone's expressions were the same as those of Li Jianneng and Zhang Xiang at that time, with their mouths wide open and their faces full of disbelief!

Not only fast speed, but more importantly, high quality!

"Boss Zhou is too powerful. Just from the appearance, he is not inferior to the Lufeng series at all!"

"I was slapped in the face again, and I knew it, but I shouldn't follow the trend to question any ideas that Mr. Zhou put forward. Why don't I have a long memory?"

"I take back what I just said. If these two cars can be produced, they may not be able to fight head-to-head with Lu Feng!"

…………

Soon, the conference room changed from doubts to full support.

This face-changing speed is simply faster than Sichuan opera actors!

Zhou Fei is very satisfied with the reaction of these people. To be honest, he did not come to discuss with these people. No matter whether they support or oppose, Zhou Fei will do it to enter the luxury car market. In the general direction, Feichi company must be controlled by him.

"This car brand, I call it Audi, will be our Mercedes-Benz company's first luxury car brand. The two models currently developed mainly belong to the A series. In the future, we will develop more cars for the Audi brand. Series models..."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Fei introduced his development plan in detail for these two Audi cars. Finally, Zhou Fei made it clear that he wanted to make the Audi brand one of the most famous luxury car brands in the world!

"The above is my preliminary development plan for Audi. Next, let's return to reality and focus on the Audi A3 and A4. The powertrain of these two cars still uses the EA888 engine and the gearbox. With dual-clutch gearboxes, many people should find that the powertrains of these two Audi cars are exactly the same as the current Golf in production!"

Zhou Fei paused, and then continued, "This is not a coincidence, but I deliberately arranged it this way, because in the future, I will implement a platform strategy in the company. Golf and Audi A3 belong to the same platform! "
