Chapter 206 Innovation in the Automotive Field

Richard arranged follow-up services for him, as well as the beautiful flight attendants he needed, while Li Zitao took Greta and the little elk to Milwaukee.

The last time I came here, the road was still uneven, but this time it has become a brand new asphalt concrete road.

"Who built this? The government?" Li Zitao asked curiously.

"Boss, you did it." The little elk replied.

"Me?" Li Zitao was a little stunned. He didn't understand what was going on until the little elk finished speaking.

To be precise, this road was funded by the Milwaukee government tender, and Bechtel was responsible for building it.

The government's bidding money came from the IL bonds issued by the Union Bank, and the purchasers of the bonds were the First National Bank of Chicago, the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and McCormick.

So this road was built by him, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it!

Arriving at the A.O Smith factory, all the iron grids of the year were removed. Around the old factory, there are several gray and white steel frame simple factory buildings.

This kind of simple steel-frame factory building has no sound insulation at all, and the sound of machines humming and steel beating can be heard from a long distance away.

However, the internal environment has been significantly improved under the strict requirements, at least there will be no slippery oil stains and disgusting defecation on the ground.

"BOSS." Karen, who is currently the director of Pioneer Technology R&D Experimental Center, trotted over.

"The environment here is good." Li Zitao looked around at the busy workers.

Compared with the laziness and numbness of the past, everyone is now in a hurry, and there is hope on their faces.

"Yes, although everything is simple, it is enough for us." Karen nodded in affirmation.

Car research and development relies more on researchers and assembly machinery, various testing equipment, and an empty site that can shelter from wind and rain is enough.

All the conditions are met here, and more importantly, there is a high salary.

"How is the progress of the transport vehicle I requested?" Li Zitao is most concerned about two, one is a Wrangler and the other is a heavy-duty transport vehicle.

Wranglers are prepared for World War II, which has not yet been seen, and heavy-duty transport vehicles are needed now.

"We have just finished the technical exchange with Pekka, and the shape frame is entering the manufacturing stage, and I believe there will be results soon."

Karen's confident answer gave Li Zitao a better understanding of his ability and efficiency.

In the days when he placed the royal family, a final agreement was reached on the acquisition of Capet, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce Holdings.

"What do you think about the hydraulic shock absorbers I mentioned?" Spring shock absorbers have been installed on horse-drawn carriages as far back as the 15th century.

A spring steel plate plus an upright compression spring is the unified configuration of all vehicles at present. Regarding its shock absorption effect, Li Zitao does not want to complain.

As for the hydraulic device, Li Zitao probably knows its working principle. The hydraulic cylinder located inside the spring, the important components inside are the piston, valve hole and oil.

When the spring on the shock absorber is pressed, the piston rod will move up or down, but no matter whether it is up or down, the oil will be squeezed.

At this time, the resistance caused by the oil passing through the valve hole will allow the oil to absorb most of the momentum, thereby offsetting the multiple acting forces of the spring.

As for how to do it, Li Zitao didn't know, who made him just a keyboard engineer!

"We have finished the product." Karen said with some excitement: "Its effect is far beyond my expectations, Boss, you are a genius."

"..." If this sentence was uttered by a cute and cute girl, Li Zitao would feel more satisfied.

When he came to the No. 2 workshop, Li Zitao saw the hydraulic shock absorber under experimentation, which was being installed on a Ford Model A body.

This classic best-selling car built by Ford in 1927, which can generate $300 million in annual revenue, has become an indispensable scenery in every city.

"Boss, do you want to try?" Karen invited him.

"I'll drive." Li Zitao took the key, started the car, and then stepped heavily on the accelerator with his right foot.

hum!

The car let out a painful roar, and then rushed towards the obstacle made of sand. The sound of 'bang bang' made Karen's heart skip a beat.

This was not the test plan he expected, especially when he saw Li Zitao driving the car quickly past various obstacles, Karen's heart was trembling.

bang!

After a crisp cracking sound, Li Zitao finally stopped the car when the left front of the car tilted downward.

"You still have a lot of work to do." Handing the key to Karen, Li Zitao said as he looked at the hydraulic cylinder that was broken and yellow oil was flowing out.

"..." Karen only felt despair in his heart.

Who would drive his beloved car like a wild horse, and it is still in estrus.

"BOSS, it is the most qualified product for the current urban road surface." Karen also wanted to win recognition for his efforts.

"But it may also appear on the battlefield." Li Zitao smiled without denying it, and left happily when Karen was lost in thought.

After experiencing the spring steel plates of other cars, Li Zitao has a more direct feeling for the comfort of the hydraulic shock absorption designed by Karen.

But he is still not satisfied with the quality of the hydraulic cylinder.

This cannot be done without the efforts of Karen and his team, but they have not yet met Li Zitao's requirements.

The gap of nearly a century made some of his ordinary standards an impossible challenge.

Back in Chicago, Li Zitao transferred to the Ace headquarters in the west of the city.

"Samuel, you're still so young!" Seeing the old and vigorous Samuel, Li Zitao praised humorously.

"Thank you for your compliment. It seems that I can go on a date with a hot girl tonight." Samuel led him into the building, followed by other executives.

"Do you need me to show you around?" Samuel didn't know the purpose of his visit. If it wasn't for the advance notice from the secretary's office, he would already be on the flight to New York.

"I need to know something about it in the conference room first." Hearing what Li Zitao said, Samuel was a little happy.

Whether he wants to admit it or not, Ace is currently Li Zitao's property.

Only by getting the attention of the BOSS can it get more support, a lot of funds and resources.

Only in this way can Ace develop faster and stronger and become a real industry giant, which is also Samuel's biggest wish now.

"Looking at the company he built and becoming an industry giant in the United States, this sense of pride and satisfaction will become his spiritual wealth."

When they came to the meeting room, the people led by Li Zitao, headed by the little elk, sat on the left hand side, and Ace's executives sat on the right side collectively.

"Let's get started!" With Li Zitao's smiling tone, the development of Ace appeared in his brain.
