Chapter 323

Time flies by like water.

On October 17, the negotiating team sent by Yang Nian arrived at the headquarters of GM.

After nearly a week of evaluation and business negotiation, the cooperation was finally negotiated on October 23.

Xinghai Group will acquire the ownership of the original Hummer brand, trademark and trade name for 150 million US dollars, and then pay another 200 million US dollars to acquire the original Hummer manufacturing plant and equipment.

On November 1, the two parties completed the transaction process, and the civilian Hummer was officially transferred to Xinghai Group, with rapid efficiency.

The process can be so fast, which is also due to the efforts of GM. After multi-department approval, there is no technology related to GUO home security. If you use Hummer, you will definitely not be able to pass the approval of the relevant departments of the beautiful country. It is not Xinghai Group that has money. can be acquired.

The factory officially changed its name to "Xinghai Hummer Company", in English "XH"

, Xinghai Group will send 100 technical talents to enter the Hummer Company to study and assist in the development and production of the new Hummer EV.

At the same time, on this day, Xinghai Hummer Company announced that it would invest another 300 million US dollars to transform the original Hummer factory production line, company operating expenses and research and development expenses.

It was not until this day that Mu Yang in China breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the acquisition of Xinghai Group can be successful and the efficiency can be so fast, and there is also the help of super bosses.

When Muyang sent a team to negotiate, the super boss had a secret call with Muyang and talked about the acquisition of civilian Hummers. After all, this matter has attracted a lot of attention at home and abroad. Besides, the acquisition of hundreds of millions of dollars is not a trivial matter. Yang himself is also very sensitive about the identity of a scientist, and the above attaches great importance to this matter.

Mu Yang explained the specific situation to the boss, which was probably the routine of "borrowing chickens to make eggs", and at the same time said that he would not go abroad, including traveling.

On November 5th, according to the survey results of the product personnel and the previous life, Muyang

Knowledge of EV for car styling design.

brand new hummer

EV

The dimensions are 5506mm, 2202mm, 2060mm, and the wheelbase is 3218mm.

This size is also the size of the original Hummer electric car. Those who are familiar with the car know very well that this is definitely a big guy.

Generally, a compact urban SUV is about 4.5 meters long and about 1.8 meters wide, and a medium-sized SUV is about 4.8-5.0 meters wide and about 1.9 meters wide. It is already full size when it reaches 5.2 meters.

The size of the new Hummer is exactly the size of a pickup.

In terms of size and shape, the Muyang is completely designed according to the original Hummer EV, with little change.

There are big changes, such as changing five seats to seven seats. The seats in the second and third rows can be folded down. After they are folded down, they need to be flush. It is a large bed, which is very suitable for camping and sleeping without affecting the loading space.

In terms of power, the new car will provide dual-motor and three-motor drive modes. The former has a combined output of 625 horsepower and the latter reaches 830 horsepower. Different from the torque amplification of fuel vehicles, the Hummer electric SUV no longer needs a transfer case. In the electronically controlled distribution mode, its maximum wheel peak torque exceeds 1559N m, and the acceleration time at 100 km/h is only 3.5 seconds, which is comparable to many super sports cars. . This parameter can also be achieved in the original Hummer.

The entry-level model of the original Hummer EV has a range of about 402 kilometers. The new car will be equipped with a power battery from Xinghai Group. The body is generally made of aluminum alloy automotive panels to reduce body weight.

The front face follows the design elements of the Hummer. The middle grille adopts the unique closed design of electric vehicles, and is separated by vertical trims. The middle grille is embellished with English letters, and there is an XH (Xinghai) logo below the middle grille.

In front of the driver, it is equipped with a brand-new steering wheel, a full LCD instrument, and the Xinghai Group's super cruise assist system with fatigue monitoring, which supports L2-level automatic assisted driving.

The current level of hardware such as electronics and chips cannot reach the level of 2022, and it is impossible to configure a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, but a slightly smaller one is possible, and automatic assisted driving can only reach the L2 level.

Even the L2 level, before 2017, was the top level in the world.

The classic straight high waistline and clamshell engine compartment design, with 22-inch wheels and new through-type headlights, the overall shape is more modern.

Although the appearance is still a tough guy style, the interior of the car adopts a more technological design style, equipped with a variety of large-size LCD screens, electronic gear levers and touch buttons.

It can be said that except for the level of chips and electronic hardware that cannot reach the level of 2022, other configurations are better than the original Hummer EV.

The car modeling has been completed. In fact, Muyang has almost completed the car shape design, and can almost produce the 3D data modeling map.

The 48th plan, the company's first major goal, has reached 8.5% of the progress of car manufacturing.

During this period, many people from the media and the auto industry came out to question Xinghai Hummer, thinking that even if it was transferred to Xinghai Group, the success of building a car would not be a problem, but it is absolutely impossible to build a good car and sell it well.

This time, Mu Yang was too lazy to come out and refute, and quietly engaged in research and development.

They discuss theirs, and Muyang plays with his own.

November 7.

John, the former president of civilian Hummer, came to Huaguo, H City.

On October 25th, John had already planned to come to China to find Muyang, and was preparing to go to China for visa procedures.

After the Hummer fell to the altar, John also left the Hummer. It has been more than a year. He has not gone to work and is living at home.

He is not short of money at the moment, but there will always be time to spend it. Moreover, he wants to personally come to Huaguo to hear about Muyang's car-building plan. If he can talk about it, he will be happy to serve Muyang again.

On November 3, he got a visa to go to China. Before going to China, he was afraid of going to China for nothing, and entrusted the Huaguo employee in Xinghai Hummer to express his thoughts.

The employees of Xinghai Group knew what happened between the chairman and John, and conveyed John's thoughts to the headquarters, and soon got the reply of chairman Mu Yang: "Agree to meet John, Xinghai Group is responsible for John's round-trip air tickets."

At three o'clock in the afternoon on the 7th, John, who was in his fifties, led by Luo Zhize, secretary of Xinghai Group, came to the chairman's office and met Mu Yang.

"Hello, Mr. John, welcome to China."

"Hello, Mr. Mu, I didn't expect you to be willing to meet me at such a young age." John was stunned for a moment, and saw Mu Yang communicated with him in fluent English with a smile on his face, and shook hands with him warmly.

Before he got off the plane, he had already made two plans.

If Mu Yang met him in a very arrogant manner and disrespected him, he would definitely not accept the invitation;

On the contrary, if Mu Yang respects him and communicates sincerely, he is willing to accept criticism and apologize for his previous words.

What John did not expect was that Muyang respected him very much, and sent a car and secretary to the airport to pick him up, and arranged a high-end hotel for him.

He put down his luggage at the hotel and took a shower, but he didn't plan to rest and wanted to visit Muyang directly.

Seeing Mu Yang now, John could not have imagined that the young man in front of him had a very strong affinity. He just had to smile and feel that any resentment was resolved.

It made him re-acquainted with the young rich man in front of him. It was different from what he imagined, and he did not feel arrogant or domineering.

John hesitated for a moment, then lowered his posture and said, "I'm very sorry for what I said before, please forgive Mr. Mu, and thank Mr. Mu for his warm hospitality."

Mu Yang chuckled and waved his hand indifferently: "Don't care about it, I don't care about it at all. If you are willing to take the initiative to come to China, you have already shown your attitude.

Of course, what I said before also counts. I am willing to recruit you as the president of the new Hummer Company. I wonder if you are willing? "

"Thank you very much for Mr. Mu's invitation, but, I also tell the truth, I have no confidence that the sales of 50,000 Hummers a year, I have worked hard, but it has not stopped the decline of Hummers in my hands."

John didn't expect Mu Yang's direct invitation, but he didn't think the new Hummer could shine again in his hands, and asked cautiously, "I'm also curious why Mr. Mu is so confident that the bet with Nathan, vice president of GM, will definitely win."

Mu Yang nodded, he was quite satisfied with John's performance, at least not arrogant enough to despise everything.

After being silent for a while, he said, "To be honest, at the beginning, I didn't have the confidence to win him, but you're here, and you have one more point."

After Mu Yang finished speaking, he saw that John, who was in his fifties, couldn't believe it, and his expression was very rich, so he explained: "This 100 million dollar gambling contract, to be honest, you can just treat it as a young man's impulse. .

Of course, if I lose, I'm willing to pay Nathan $100 million, and I won't lose my commitment for that money. "

John's eyes widened, he didn't know what to say, daring to love this hundred million dollars is just a joke in your eyes.

Mu Yang stood up, picked up a few pages of printed information from the desk, with the shape and configuration parameters of the Hummer EV, sat on the sofa again, and handed the document to John: "You look at it first."

John took the information with some doubts, moved his glasses, and was a little surprised when he first saw it.

Twenty minutes later, he asked Mu Yang politely: "Mr. Mu, the shape drawing is very beautiful, and the configuration parameters surprised me even more, but please let me bluntly say that a concept car and a production car are completely different things;

Moreover, the performance of lithium batteries in the data is a little exaggerated, and it is very difficult to achieve. For other things, you should understand what I mean. "

Mu Yang nodded and explained: "You are right, but there is a situation, you may not know much about our Xinghai Group, the lithium battery project has been in progress for a month or two, I can assure you that if you want to achieve Performance in the data is not an issue.

Well, let me take you to our aluminum alloy automotive sheet workshop and headquarters base first, let's chat while walking. "

"Well, it's a great honor, I also want to visit your company's production base."

John knew that Xinghai Group's welding machine was very good, but he thought that it was made by a large number of workers.

Three years ago, he had been to Huaguo once before. In his impression, the factory equipment in Huaguo was relatively backward, but the workers in Huaguo were very able to endure hardships.

Mu Yang first took him to walk around the laboratory building of the Automotive Research Institute at the headquarters base. The site was clean, the equipment was advanced, and the staff worked actively. John nodded frequently, and it could be seen that Xinghai Group was really determined to build a car.

After reading the situation of the laboratory building, and then moving the position, Muyang took John to the aluminum alloy automobile sheet factory.

This time, John was really shocked when he saw the fully automated production equipment. The doubts in his heart were the same as those of the guests who came to visit before, thinking that these production lines were purchased overseas.

Mu Yang said lightly: "These production lines are all developed and manufactured by Xinghai Group, including formulas and processes, to produce the world's first aluminum alloy automotive panels, not by blowing them out."

John raised his thumb to Mu Yang: "It's very powerful, I was a little underestimated before, I'm very sorry."

After visiting the aluminum alloy automotive panels, Muyang took John to a nearby battery factory.

At present, the construction progress of the battery factory is still relatively fast, but it will definitely not catch up with the progress of car building, and only samples from the experimental building can be used.

In any case, John believed the information in Mu Yang's hands.

After visiting the construction of the battery factory, it was more than 6 o'clock in the afternoon.

Mu Yang accompanies John to dinner, during which he did not talk about car building.

At 8:30 the next morning, John came to Xinghai Group again to meet Mu Yang.

This time, the foreigner's attitude has undergone a big change. After seeing Mu Yang in the chairman's office, he directly said respectfully: "Mr. Mu, I am willing to accept the task.

I thought about it for a night, and I am confident that I can make the Hummer in the documentation and shock the world auto industry once again. "

Mu Yang patted the excited John~www.mtlnovel.com~ and asked him to sit down: "It's good to have confidence. As I said, the salary and benefits are up to you."

"It's 70% of what I was before, and for me, seeing the Hummer EV shock the auto industry makes me happy."

"Xinghai Group is not short of money, so let's say the salary is tentatively set at 120% of your previous salary. If the Hummer EV goes into mass production, you can get an additional 0.5% profit dividend;

If the sales reach 50,000 units, you can get a 1% profit dividend;

In addition, there is a 0.5% profit dividend, which can be used to motivate the team.

I will send a Chinese vice president, who is mainly responsible for finance and Chinese technical personnel, and will not interfere with the operation of the company. You are solely responsible for it. "

Different levels of incentives, especially special talents, and the lack of John who is familiar with Hummer, it is difficult to run smoothly, especially since this company is not in China, Muyang is not easy to control, it is equivalent to authorizing John to be responsible, and the money is insufficient, Of course not, Mu Yang was not at ease.

A 1% profit dividend is not too much, but not too little.

John was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect such a big surprise. He stood up and bowed slightly to Mu Yang: "Thank you BOSS for your trust!"

For him, the finances are in charge of the Chinese staff. Anyway, it makes him easier, and only in this way can the boss trust him.

Next, Mu Yang chatted with John.

Before, Mu Yang just chatted with him casually, and didn't discuss the car-making technology in depth.

John is a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from MIT and is certainly proficient in Mechanical Engineering. It was only later converted to full management, but the technology did not fall behind.

This time, the two sides talked a lot about car building. John didn't expect Mu Yang to be so proficient in car building technology.

On the third day, John left China with satisfaction with Mu Yang's mission.
