Rebirth: From catering group to world’s richest man

Under the arrangement of the staff, a prototype of Tesla’s new model drove onto the indoor track.

Next, the computer will control the prototype car to collide with the obstacle on the track sideways at a relatively high speed.

The test site was cleared, and then the staff started the computer. The prototype car on the track immediately accelerated, raising the speed to a high speed. In the next scene, the entire car crashed sideways into an obstacle in the venue.

The entire car was immediately deformed and shattered, with muscles and bones damaged, and the side airbags also popped out. But overall, the damage is not particularly exaggerated.

Seeing the collision like this, Lin Shen looked at Zhang Dongjie standing aside.

Zhang Dongjie said:”Mr. Lin, this crash test is qualified after the crash. And it is better than many other brands of models. Even if it is tested at China Insurance Research Institute, it will definitely be an excellent rating.”

Lin Shen nodded. , in fact, he also saw that this collision test must be qualified.

After watching the experiment, Lin Shen stopped reading.

Lin Shen originally wanted to take a look at the production workshop, but after thinking about it, there was nothing interesting to see. I have worked at Tesla for two years and am very familiar with the production workshop here.

“Let’s go to your office and have a chat? Lin Shen said to Zhang Dongjie

“good.”Zhang Dongjie said immediately.

The two left the R&D center, went to Tesla’s office building, and then to Zhang Dongjie’s office.

Zhang Dongjie’s secretary brought tea to the two of them

“How many technologies of this new model are our own? Lin Shen asked

“We have our own technology for engine technology.

It was with the help of Mr.

Lin and combined with the engine technology of Daewoo Motor’s Gorky Power Research Institute that we made a breakthrough.

Now we can say that it is no longer weaker than most overseas car companies.

As for the gearbox, we have also made our own breakthroughs.

As for the chassis, judging from the current situation, we are still slightly behind in terms of material technology.

But it has been quite difficult.

“Zhang Dongjie said

“Um. Lin Shen nodded slightly. The industrial chain covered by the automobile industry is too long, radiating almost all manufacturing industries in a country.

Speaking of engines, accessories include throttle bodies, engines, engine assemblies, oil pumps, oil nozzles, and tensioners. There are dozens of types of wheels, cylinder blocks, bearings, water pumps, etc. With so many accessories, it is obviously impossible for Tesla Motors to produce them all, and many parts must be purchased from other suppliers. , the best suppliers are not in China, so we have no choice but to buy from abroad.

Tesla Motors has worked very hard and has its own engine technology and transmission technology, but after all, its energy is limited. It is impossible to be world-leading in everything.

Therefore, although this new model has its own core technology, some parts still need to be imported.

However, Lin Shen believes that these problems will be solved sooner or later.

“What are you going to do with this new model? Lin Shen asked.

Zhang Dongjie said:”That’s what I think. Our company should produce small batches first and sell this car in a small area to see the market response and consumer feedback.” After all, there is too much of our own technology in it, which is directly produced in large quantities. If consumers don’t buy it, it will be a big blow.

Lin Shen nodded and said,”It can be handled this way.””

“At this rate, new models will be available for sale soon.”Zhang Dongjie said

“In this way, give me one first. The car I’m driving now is a bit old, and it’s time to replace it. Lin Shen said

“Okay, don’t worry, Mr. Lin, when the first batch of official products comes off the production line, I will definitely send one to you first.”Zhang Dongjie said.

Lin Shen took a sip of tea and expressed satisfaction.

“By the way, Mr. Lin, our new model has not yet decided on a name. How about you give it a name?”Zhang Dongjie suddenly said

“oh? Well, let me think about this. Lin Shen thought for a few seconds, came up with a name, and said,”I have a name, I don’t know if it’s good or not, why not call it ‘Taichu'””

“Taichu? Zhang Dongjie was stunned,”Tesla Taichu?””

“Well, Taichu means a new starting point in Taoism, so we take a new meaning. Lin Shen said

“Huh? It seems pretty catchy.”Zhang Dongjie said in surprise.

“Then call it that. Lin Shen said

“OK. Zhang Dongjie said.

After sitting in Zhang Dongjie’s office for a while, Lin Shen stood up and said,”Keep working hard, then I’ll go back first.” Remember to deliver the car to my house later”

“I know Mr. Lin. Zhang Dongjie said quickly.

Zhang Dongjie sent Lin Shen downstairs and watched Lin Shen drive away from the company.

On the way home, Lin Shen was still thinking about Tesla cars.

The car market has long been divided up. After all, it is not easy to get a foot in the door. The main reason is that this market is very mature. It is basically impossible to dominate the market with one model, because cars are more powerful than photolithography. The industry chain involved in the industry is still wide, and it does not mean that as long as you master a certain technology, you can directly become the leader of the industry.

However, there is still time in the long journey. If you can’t do it in one year, then it will take ten years. His good daughter rushed forward. Lin Shen picked up Lin Lu and sat on his lap.

Lin Shen played with Lin Lu for a while, and Lu Yueyao came down from upstairs.

“Lin Shen, Mr. Tang just sent someone here and said that Tang Chen will hand over the apartment in two days. So send us the keys in advance. Then we won’t have to go to the site to get the keys.”Lu Yueyao took out several keys, walked to Lin Shen, and stuffed them into Lin Shen’s hands.

“oh? Already handed over the house?”Lin Shen was a little surprised. This was two years earlier than in the previous life. Although the house was only handed over in one phase, it was still earlier than Lin Shen imagined.
