Chapter 1809 Enough to Amaze the World

For Alexander Vikander, he was standard dogmatism.

Around him, people like him are very common. Everyone is very sticky to the rules. They always choose to be conservative and never take the radical line.

People like him have a lot of stubborn persistence, such as those who study hard, those who kidnap others with the Bible, and those who do things the same way.

Vikander's insistence on car design stems from his failure to establish an aesthetic system that is truly close to the times.

He felt that Volvo should be designed to be clumsy and unremarkable, because this is the root of its low-key and introverted.

Moreover, he felt that any brand that designed cars with fancy designs would not produce cars that were practical.

Volvo needs this sturdy line and unchanging design language to convey a message to the world: "We are conservative, we insist on the inner, our car is always the most practical and safe."

Therefore, he scoffed at the car styling Li Mu wanted.

He even taught Li Mu, saying: "Mr. Li, look, the side of your V adopts a downward sloping line, the front is high and the back is low. In this way, the upper space of the rear seat is reduced for no reason. People who are eight meters in size can sit in without feeling headed, but after you design it like this, people who are eight meters in height will feel depressed when they sit in."

Li Mu nodded: "Yes, I will let him suppress."

Vikander sneered: "Mr. Li, IMHO, you really don't understand car design, people's pursuit of space is very extreme, especially v, most people buy v for more space, not for Better passability."

Li Mu said indifferently: "Most cars don't usually sit in the back row, so it doesn't matter if they do, they can do it, because it's not his car after all."

Vikander said: "How does this work? Our customers will give up this car as long as they sit in the back seat when they buy it!"

Li Mu asked back, "The back row of the two-door four-seat coupe is too crowded for dogs, isn't there still someone buying it?"

Vikander argues: "But that's not a mainstream car! A mainstream car still has to take space and ride comfort into account."

Li Mu said seriously: "In the future, car consumers will pay at least 50% for the appearance. The key that really affects whether they buy it or not is whether the car looks good or not.

It's not whether he has enough space in the back seat. "

Vikander said: "I don't think this car looks good even if I look at the appearance, it's too weird! And the side lines you designed, these relatively geometric angular designs will increase the production process and cost, and also increase the cost. The probability of damage on both sides of the car and the cost of repairing, if it is a shape with a larger arc and a more rounded shape, most of the bumps can be avoided, but if it is this shape, it will be difficult to restore after a touch, requiring sheet metal, which is flashy! "

"Also, why should two tail throats be designed at the tail? Our displacement is not large. One tail throat is enough, and two will increase the cost, which is completely unnecessary."

Li Mu asked him, "Have you ever seen a 20-displacement car with four tailpipes?"

Vikander said disdainfully: "Hanging four tails? Unless he is crazy, it is impossible to do such a thing!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "You should have a chance to meet in a few years."

After finishing speaking, Li Mu said lightly: "Okay Vikander, I paid you to hire you not to make you talk nonsense with me, but to ask you to do things for me, I am the boss, so whatever I ask you to do, you can do it. How to do it for me, don't tell me how professional you are and how amateur I am. You designers, one of them is considered one, none of them are qualified in my eyes, look at the models you designed. You can see how lacking design ingenuity you guys really are from the changed shape, and looking at Volvo’s sluggish sales, at least 60% of the blame lies with your designers.”

When Vikander heard this, his face immediately turned red and white.

It was really heart-wrenching to be so questioned by Li Mu about his professional ability.

But the point is, he didn't know where to refute at once.

Volvo's car sales are indeed quite sluggish.

Li Mu continued at this time: "The cars you designed are like the most common middle-aged people in the world, with big fat faces, shiny faces, sparse hair, sloppy clothes, and sloppy clothes, making it difficult for the opposite sex to lift them up. The interest in that aspect, so the car you designed is also very abstinent. If people see it, it will not be generated. Originally, after seeing the car you designed, that point was instantly extinguished. If you If I’m not convinced, I can use a budget of one million dollars and ask a world-renowned survey company to conduct surveys in several major cities around the world to count how many people think Volvo’s models are ugly.”

After speaking, Li Mu raised his voice a little and said, "I only want to ask your opinion for your face, it's not really for you to use your ascetic aesthetics to point me, from now on, if you still want to If you want this job, just listen carefully to what the man who pays you is saying, do what he tells you to do, otherwise, you can immediately resign and go back to Sweden to see. Will I ever find a job as a designer in my lifetime?"

Vikander dared not complain any longer.

Originally, I wanted to give the new boss a slap in the face, so that he would not have any thoughts of interfering with his work in the future, but he did not expect that the new boss would not interfere with his own work at all, but completely decide his own work.

He also knew very well that when he fought against Li Mu, his only end was to pack up the bedding and go home, so he had no choice but to give up immediately. Whatever Li Mu wanted, he could do whatever he wanted with him. As for whether the car he designed could work or not, it was up to him. As for him, when he makes enough money, he will go back to Sweden. Volvo's death has nothing to do with him.

So, he said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, what kind of design do you want, I will cooperate with you completely according to your ideas."

Li Mu nodded and said, "You raise the front of the car for me first. Don't tell me about vision issues. If you want a good vision, you can try Changhe Bread."

"I said, the wheels should be bigger, the car should be shorter, what? Incongruity? All I want is incongruity!"

"Add the dual exhaust, yes! It must be dual, one on the left and one on the left, and don't give me such a round tail throat, replace it with a square one!"

"Side waist, the waist line is more obvious..."

On the computer, a car has been perfected little by little from the most common line draft, and finally has the prototype of the aurora.

Although this short fat Bigfoot looks really weird, what surprised all the designers is that such a weird combination doesn't look ugly at all. On the contrary, the more you look at it, the more delicious it is. .

At this moment, these designers do not realize that they are designing a v that is enough to amaze the world...
