Chapter 1529: BMW Isetta
"Do you like Chinese food?" Li Zitao asked Victor while holding a plate, choosing dishes.
Victor shook his head hesitantly and said, "I'm not very used to it, but it tastes good."
"It's a pity that you missed the best food in the world." Li Zitao said regretfully.
Returning to the table with the tray, Li Zitao looked at him and sighed: "Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"I would like to ask you to give me another month." Victor said seriously.
"Why?" Li Zitao took a mouthful of rice and chewed it slowly in his mouth: "I can't see the reason for doing this!"
"Give me a reason, Victor." Li Zitao replied indifferently.
Victor is not surprised by this. As a successful businessman, he has given BMW many opportunities.
It can be said that he is definitely one of the most generous bosses in the world.
However, Victor has his own plans and reasons, and what he has to do now is to convince this generous boss to believe in himself for the last time.
Victor took out a crumpled document from his arms, flattened it and pushed it in front of him, pleading solemnly: "It only takes a month, I can do it."
BMW Isetta, a new sporty compact sedan, opens up a new concept of travel.
BMW Isetta?
The name Li Zitao has no concept at all.
However, he still opened the paper and looked at it while eating.
The more you look at his expression, the weirder it becomes, 'This is either the old scooter on the bad street, or the door is placed in the front. '
Oh, by the way, there is one more difference, it has four wheels.
Although viewed from the side, it looks like three wheels, but in fact its rear wheel is composed of two wheels with an interval of no more than 25cm.
Therefore, it is not a tricycle, but a real car.
Compact sedan!
There is only room for two people, and the 'trunk' behind the seat can only hold two ladies' handbags.
"Is there a finished product?" Li Zitao raised his head and asked.
Seeing that he was interested, Victor hurriedly said, "Yes, it's in the laboratory."
"Go and have a look." Li Zitao was indeed somewhat interested in this, because it saw business opportunities from above.
This mini model may be able to pry open ladies' wallet buckles for Aegis.
Putting the dinner plate back in place, Li Zitao followed Victor to the BMW studio.
The location of the BMW studio has changed from the central location at first, to the periphery of the second echelon later, and to the edge of the current experimental area.
What they experienced during this period can only be understood by those who are in it.
Li Zitao said nothing about this, in his opinion normal competition is very necessary.
The capable go up and the mediocre go down, just like the law of nature.
Looking at the somewhat shabby studio with rusty locks hanging on the door, Li Zitao asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"
"It's our own problem. It's the greatest privilege not to have been split up without knowing it!" Victor smiled wryly with self-knowledge.
What he said is a normal situation in the enterprise.
Any team or department that cannot create benefits for the company, no matter how important it is, will eventually be cut off.
Not being notified until the time of dissolution is an effective tactic for large corporations.
It is the most efficient and thorough method for the management to avoid entanglement and cut losses quickly. There is no one.
Despite the constant threat of being dismantled, BMW's engineers remained focused on their work.
Walking into the studio, everyone inside is busy with the work at hand.
Even after he turned around inside, no one looked up at him, let alone noticed his existence.
He appreciates this work attitude, 'I believe that these people will maintain the same spirit when they are assigned to other laboratories. '
Li Zitao is very confident in this, because the requirements of other studios will only be higher than BMW, not easy.
"Boss, that's it." Victor didn't disturb the other colleagues, and led him to the deepest part of the studio, pointing to the round object covered by the dust cloth in the corner and said.
Li Zitao stepped forward, pulled the dustproof cloth and yanked it.
Wow!
A sky-blue 'ostrich egg' appeared in front of his eyes. It was so small, so small.
The height of the whole vehicle is about the same level as his chest, and the front face does not have the double-kidney grille as a symbol of BMW.
There is a recessed handle on the right side of the front of the car, which is the door handle to open the door.
"Try it." Victor said encouragingly.
Li Zitao reached out and clasped the handle, and gently pulled it outward, 'Zi Zi...'
Hydraulic support!
With just a little effort, the door opens under the force of the hydraulic lever.
"I don't think it suits me very well." Looking at the seat inside, the steering wheel was blocked in front of the seat and needed to be bypassed by the co-pilot.
Standing there alone, it looks a bit dazzling, but also has a different kind of beauty.
"I'll do it." A voice came from behind, and Tia stepped into the car excitedly.
Victor immediately stepped forward to instruct her on the specific operation. In fact, except for closing the door, it is no different from a normal car, and even more convenient.
"We expect to involve two different grades for different groups of people." Victor began to talk about his plan.
The two cars differ in power, interior and color schemes.
Part of the color system will only appear on Isettati, in order to distinguish its identity, nobility and wealth from ordinary car owners.
Another point is the "electronic door" of the bad streets in later generations, but it is more crude in this period, and the person in the cab needs to press the button all the time to complete the "automatic" closing.
Finally, after the door is closed, press the buckle by hand to complete the closing action.
"Boss, do you want me to drive out?" Tia opened a face-sized side window and asked with a smile.
‘Boy, where are you going? I’ll give you 5 yuan! '
Shaking his head to drive away the thoughts in his mind, Li Zitao stepped aside and motioned her to drive out to try.
Beep!
The horn is short and crisp, just in line with the positioning of the car.
As for the effect, look around and put down the work at hand, and the engineers who come around will know.
"Boss, it will definitely catch fire." The familiar engineer leaned over to him and said.
Li Zitao said lightly, "Let's see."
While talking, the car drove out, Tia's operation seemed very easy, and he already understood the canceled kidney grille when he sat on it.
I believe that no one wants to be seen by outsiders what color pants they are wearing when they step on the brake or accelerator.
"Go out and have a look." At Victor's invitation, the crowd surrounded Li Zitao and came outside to experience Isetta's performance more intuitively.
Its appearance, to be honest, in Li Zitao's eyes, is a bit ugly.
But if you look closely, you find it very funny and cute.
"Turn around and have a look." Li Zitao shouted to Tia who was playing happily.
Hearing the boss's order, Tia put away the excitement on her face and turned slightly harder.
The car immediately tilted to the right, but there was no phenomenon of flying or rolling over.
"A few more times." Li Zitao shouted to her seeing the angle of the car tilted: "Turn harder."
