Chapter 285 Too Advanced
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng knew the tempers of these foreigners and immediately changed the subject.
"Mr. Jack, I wonder if you brought the blueprints of the car models you designed last time. I'd like to take a look."
Jack, who was sitting opposite, lit up his eyes when he heard that Lu Feng wanted to see the drawings of his design.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I've saved them all on my computer for your convenience. I'll get them right away."
After saying that, he ran out again without caring about Lu Feng and Zhao Yun’s reactions.
Looking at the anxious Jack, Lu Feng couldn't help but wonder, can a person with this kind of temperament really sit down and draw blueprints and design things properly?
"Mr. Lu, don't be fooled by Jack's impulsive appearance, but the car he designed is truly perfect. I believe you will be satisfied after seeing it."
"The only drawback is that most of the models he designed are too expensive and too advanced, and they probably don't suit modern people's tastes."
Zhao Yun spoke, his words showing admiration for Jack but also a hint of worry.
In fact, Pagani's designers had already told Lu Feng all this information about Jack.
The major European car companies are unwilling to use Jack's designs because his designs are too advanced. Otherwise, a designer genius like Jack would never have been let go by the car companies there and would have been hired with a high salary long ago.
"Lao Zhao, I've known about what you said for a long time. Just because European car companies don't dare to use it doesn't mean we don't dare to use it. After all, the technology we have is also future technology.
"And if Fanli wants to make a splash, it can only make a car that no one else dares to make. That way, it will become an instant hit once it's released."
After hearing Lu Feng's words, Zhao Yun fell into deep thought. Obviously, he still had some conservative ideas in his heart.
At this time, Jack, who had gone to the car to get his computer, returned to the private room.
As soon as he came in, he couldn't wait to sit next to Lu Feng and turned on the computer.
"Mr. Lu, look, this is one of the models I designed."
Jack pointed at the computer screen and introduced his work to Lu Feng.
Lu Feng was very curious about his work. He also wanted to see what the car model that even those foreigners with unconventional behaviors did not dare to use looked like.
As Jack's fingers slid across the computer screen, Lu Feng's eyes were attracted by the design drawings.
Jack's designs are full of futuristic sense, and every line and every angle reveals his unique understanding of automotive aesthetics.
Lu Feng looked at the first car model displayed on the screen. It had a streamlined body and a smooth surface with almost no unnecessary decoration. The whole car looked like it came out of a science fiction movie.
The vehicle's headlights utilize a unique laser technology that delivers high brightness while consuming minimal energy. The rear end is equally impressive, featuring a novel airflow guidance system that significantly reduces drag and improves vehicle efficiency.
"Mr. Jack, I have to admit that the car you designed is truly perfect, but let's put aside the issue of it being too advanced for now. I'd like to ask, taking the first design drawing as an example, how much did it cost?"
Lu Feng asked curiously, and his question was crucial to whether a car could be mass-produced.
Because if the cost of a car is too high, then it will not meet the conditions for mass production, let alone generate profits for the company.
Although people often say that stupid people have a lot of money, the reality is that rich people are often very smart. If you want to make money from them, you must have real skills.
Hearing Lu Feng's words, Jack nodded and answered frankly: "Indeed, the manufacturing cost of this model will be higher than traditional models. Not counting other components, the cost of this model is about 900,000 RMB."
"But I think the market effect and brand value it brings cannot be measured in money. Moreover, as technology develops, the cost issue will gradually be resolved."
After listening to Jack's words, Lu Feng finally understood why the drawings he designed were not accepted by European car companies, because Jack was too idealistic.
For those old car companies, their brand value has long been established, and they no longer need an expensive car to build their brand.
What they really need is a car that is cheap to build and has high profits.
"Mr. Jack, to be honest, your car is too expensive. The frame alone costs 900,000. If you include the other parts, the cost will soar to around 1.1 million."
"This doesn't even include all the other costs, including worker wages and processing and manufacturing equipment. If you add everything up, including taxes, the cost is simply too high to even imagine."
"For a product that's so expensive and doesn't guarantee it will sell well, the risks are simply too high."
Lu Feng lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke and said.
Jack, who was introducing his work to Lu Feng, immediately stopped introducing it when he heard this.
"Mr. Lu, do you mean that you also don't agree to use these drawings?"
His tone was different from the passion just now, and it was filled with disappointment and sadness.
"Yes, Mr. Jack, even the established European car companies don't dare to use this blueprint easily, let alone a small company like mine."
"I bet if we actually built this car, we'd be damned."
Lu Feng continued to speak, without any intention of considering Jack's face.
Zhao Yun, who had been silent on the side, was about to say something when he saw this, but was forced back by Lu Feng's look.
The reason why Lu Feng did this was because he wanted to win over Jack. After all, if Jack continued to produce these cars with high costs and full of uncertainties.
Then no car company would dare to accept him, because people produce cars not to realize their dreams, but to make money.
But Jack's approach is clearly to use car companies to realize his dream, and no car company would agree to this approach.
When Jack heard Lu Feng's ruthless attack, the disappointment on his face became more obvious.
"Mr. Lu, I understand what you mean. Thank you for your hospitality and for giving me this opportunity."
As he spoke, he stood up with his computer and prepared to leave the box. Zhao Yun was anxious to say something, but under the pressure from Lu Feng, he didn't dare to say a word in the end.
Just as Jack walked to the door of the box, Lu Feng spoke again: "Mr. Jack, please wait a moment."
"Do you have anything else to say, Mr. Lu?"
Jack stopped and turned to ask.
