Chapter 131 Extraordinary craftsmanship, the birth of a classic
“Some changes have indeed begun to occur in various fields.”
“The Second Automobile Works Group has canceled a number of military vehicle projects some time ago and switched to civilian production. Trucks to support economic construction.”
Based on some of the information he obtained, Zhu Jiansheng had a deeper understanding of what Jiang Hui said.
He now has great trust in Jiang Hui's views.
Even if some of his words were unbelievable, his first reaction was not to refute, but to reflect on whether he had not considered some issues thoroughly enough.
"If our 'Hummer' project goes well, we can consider exporting it to the Middle East and other places. There are oil-producing countries there with deep pockets, and the demand for various military vehicles is also very strong."
Jiang Hui knew that in the 1980s, the Middle East was not peaceful at all.
The Iran-Iraq war has been going on for so many years, and it contains huge opportunities.
Even the war in the "Imperial Cemetery" may benefit China's military industry system.
How to better grasp these opportunities, in addition to personal vision, it is also important to make advance arrangements.
Some products are in demand, but you have to wait several years to produce them, and the day lilies are already cold.
Jiang Hui is absolutely confident that as long as the "Hummer" is successfully mass-produced in the next few years, the wealthy people in the Middle East will definitely place large-scale orders.
When the time comes, not to mention one million dollars, as long as one is sold for one or two hundred thousand dollars, the Capital Institute of Technology will benefit a lot.
Of course, the premise of this process is that the leadership of the "Hummer" project has always been with the Capital Institute of Technology. It is best that the assembly and production are also within the school-run enterprises.
Anyway, all kinds of parts are purchased from supporting factories. If you just build an assembly line with a low output, the cost will still be within the controllable range.
And this assembly line can also serve as a teaching resource for the Department of Vehicle Engineering, contributing to enhancing the influence of the Vehicle Engineering major of Capital Institute of Technology.
"According to the performance of the 'Hummer' we are currently planning, those countries in the Middle East may really be interested."
Zhu Jiansheng thought about what Jiang Hui said, and thought about "Hummer" in his heart “The emphasis on the project has gone up several levels.
He was thinking about the "Hummer" project throughout the night, while Jiang Hui didn't care about so much, holding his wife in his arms and doing repetitive exercises in the warm quilt.
The next day, when it was still dark, Jiang Hui got up when he heard his mother-in-law getting up to make breakfast outside.
“Do you really have to go to the laboratory so early?”
Zhu Lin turned over lazily, with only a small head exposed.
"Getting it done early will give dad peace of mind, and we can also have fun."
Since it was something that was agreed upon last night, Jiang Hui was definitely very punctual.
And just when he went to wash up, Zhu Jiansheng also got up.
It’s just that I didn’t sleep well last night, and the circles under my eyes were obviously a little dark.
“Why don’t you go after breakfast?”
Fang Zhen saw the husband and wife after washing and preparing to go out, and felt that he had lost the motivation to cook.
If only she and Zhu Lin are left, then just one bite for breakfast will be enough.
"When you get hungry later, just go to the cafeteria and eat something. Let's go and see how the clay model is being made first."
Saying goodbye to his mother-in-law, Jiang Hui and Zhu Jiansheng headed towards the laboratory of the Department of Vehicle Engineering.
The family area is in the northwest area, and the laboratory of the Department of Vehicle Engineering is in the southeast, which is considered to cross half of the school.
Along the way, from time to time I could meet some teachers who got up early for a morning run, but the whole campus was still quiet.
At the door of the laboratory, Zhu Jiansheng took out a copper key and opened the big lock at the door of the laboratory. Accompanied by the sound of the iron door being pushed, an unfinished 1:5 clay model appeared in front of Jiang Hui.
"We designed the first version of the appearance drawing based on the situation of the 'Hummer' you described before and the arrangement of some parts."
"But when it comes to appearance design, the teachers in our department I’m still not very good at it.”
Zhu Jiansheng didn’t hide it at all and directly handed Jiang Hui the appearance drawing of the Hummer designed by the teacher in the department.
This Hummer is quite different from what Jiang Hui imagined.
To a certain extent, there is still a bit of BJ212 in it.
"Dad, this appearance is not tough enough, we have to change it a little."
Jiang Hui picked up a pencil and A4 paper and quickly drew a sketch of the "Hummer".
It was obviously a sketch, but Jiang Hui drew the outline of the front of the "Hummer" with just a few strokes, giving people a very sturdy feeling.
In contrast, the original appearance is completely unsightly.
“It is also necessary to add automotive exterior design to the courses in our department.”
“Or we can consider cooperating with some surrounding art schools to recruit some students who are interested in designing automotive exteriors.”
< br>Jiang Hui feels that if the Vehicle Engineering Department of Capital Institute of Technology wants to become an independent automotive college in the future, many things still need to be further strengthened.
Segmented majors such as automobile design are actually very necessary.
Of course, the number of personnel in this profession needs to be limited. It is enough to recruit a small class every year.
If there are more, it will be difficult to find qualified teachers.
"Our people are indeed not very good at car exterior design. These things are more the work of art students."
There is nothing hard to admit in front of his son-in-law.
Besides, if I want to secure my position as the head of the Department of Vehicle Engineering, my son-in-law's help is absolutely indispensable.
If you think about it this way, there is no need to worry about it.
"Sooner or later, cars will enter ordinary households in the future, and people will pay more attention to the appearance of the car model when buying a car."
"How to design the appearance of a car model that meets consumer expectations is very important. "
"Otherwise, even if your car's various configurations are very good, if the appearance is not good, the sales will not be good. "
When Jiang Hui said this, it was really true. Quite an experience.
The ideal MPV of future generations, its configuration is definitely very impressive, but the appearance is so special that people cannot appreciate it, and even feel resentful in their hearts.
If you have money to buy a car, you definitely don’t want to bring it home and make yourself feel uncomfortable.
"I will communicate with the school then to see how to arrange it more appropriately."
Zhu Jiansheng and Jiang Hui were chatting while watching Jiang Hui quickly draw various pictures there. Appearance sketch.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhu Jiansheng couldn't believe that Jiang Hui had drawn such a visually striking appearance of the car with ease.
It is as if these classic design concepts can be easily grasped.
A generation of classics was born step by step.
