Chapter 477: Focus on family cars

At the Xinghai Group, positions are divided into four categories:

administrative positions, technical positions, research and development positions, and sales positions. Administrative positions have the lowest salaries, and generally only receive a fixed salary and year-end bonus.

Of course, the higher the administrative position, the higher the salary.

As for sales positions, they live directly off sales commissions; if sales performance does not meet targets, Xinghai Group will never keep idle people on.

Either they will be transferred to another position or they will be let go.

Many people quite like sales positions, after all, if they do a good job in sales, they can earn hundreds of thousands or even millions of RMB a year.

Xinghai Group will not withhold wages just because someone is earning too much. As long as the wages are paid according to the rules, Xinghai Group will pay them immediately.

Compared to technical positions, R&D positions pay a lot more; the real difference between R&D and technical positions is the profit sharing for R&D projects, which is 3%, which is quite high.

Among them, the highest level of a technical position is also the master level, and there is no more if you want to go higher.

The highest rank in the R&D position is chief.

Han Songlin looked at the badge on Xiong Molin's chest and saw: Platinum III!

Han Songlin was a little surprised, but also felt that it was reasonable.

He was surprised that Xiong Molin was already Platinum III at such a young age, and it was reasonable because as the chief R&D engineer at Furuise Motors, he should be at that level.

After completing the development of Furuise and achieving good sales, Xiong Molin should be promoted to Diamond.

Once he becomes a diamond, he will not be far from becoming a master, and he can vaguely see the position of academician.

Han Songlin created this kind of promotion like a game in order to motivate the R&D personnel to keep moving forward.

In fact, humans naturally have an analogy mentality; they want to know where they stand in a group.

In other words, not giving scores and rankings in an exam is actually a kind of behavior that goes against human nature.

With rankings, you can know more about what level you are at.

'Hello, Chief Engineer Xiong!'

Xiong Molin wore black-framed glasses, and judging from the thickness of the lenses, he must be short-sighted by 500 or 600.

Wearing glasses for a long time had caused some changes to the shape of Xiong Molin's face.

'Oh, yes,' Xiong Molin subconsciously replied, glanced at Han Songlin, and then looked away directly, unfocused and staring at a place.

Xiong Molin gave the impression of being a little dazed and silly.

Han Songlin didn't feel any problem at all about this. He had seen many people like this.

Yang Zixing smiled helplessly at Han Songlin. This was how Xiong Molin was like. After he gets lost in his thoughts, he will just be like that with other people.

If you call him, he will give a subconscious response, like saying something back to you.

As for you trying to have an in-depth conversation with him, it's impossible.

People simply won't pay any attention to you.

After searching the crowd with his eyes, Yang Zixing waved at a young girl, 'Xia Qiong, come here!'

Gold I

Xinghai Group has been divided into such ranks by Han Songlin, and in fact there are still corresponding ones.

For example, from black iron to platinum corresponds to assistant, junior, intermediate, senior, and senior.

Xia Qiong is not a simple person either!

Han Songlin was not worried about the mismatch between talent and rank. You can't just want to be promoted; you have to perform well.

In the R&D department, they pay particular attention to R&D results.

If you have no results to show and you are promoted, you will definitely be demoted when the promotion is announced.

If you are demoted when the promotion is announced, you will not be promoted for the next three years.

'Boss, this is Xia Qiong, in charge of interior and exterior design. She was also in charge of the design of the Fuxing Ruikang.'

Han Songlin couldn't help but take a second look at Xia Qiong. He was very satisfied with the interior design of the Fuxing Ruikang.

Although it is said to be a plastic interior, it has been designed without that cheap feeling.

Yes, it's the cheap feeling!

Many cars, the cheaper they are, the cheaper the design makes them feel.

A 50,000 yuan car that has been designed to feel like a 100,000 yuan car will definitely sell very well.

Because for consumers, there is a sense of surprise.

Many people buy cars just for transportation, plus a little bit of showiness.

Anyway, as a car company, it is important to satisfy a consumer's needs.

Understanding the psychology of consumers is the only way to produce a successful product.

'So you designed it! The interior of the Fuxing Ruikang is quite well designed, it's very surprising.'

Xia Qiong's mouth curled up into a faint smile, 'Thank you boss for the compliment, there is still a lot we need to work on.'

'How about it? Introduce me to the development of the Fuxing Ruikang?'

Xia Qiong looked at Xiong Morin subconsciously before smiling and saying, 'Of course, come this way!'

Due to restrictions, Furuida Motors could only exploit loopholes and design the car as a hatchback.

Of course, the lack of a trunk did not mean that the car was smaller.

In fact, it was still the normal size of a car.

There was no dedicated trunk design, but of course, the lack of a dedicated trunk did not mean that there was no room to put things.

In fact, there is a large area between the back seat and the back door where things can be stored.

It seems that this area can hold more things than the boot.

'Boss, our car can also be used as a station wagon. You can see that we can lower the back seat directly, and then put two inflatable cushions in the place where the back seat rests, so that people can rest in it.'

Han Songlin was sure that he had never mentioned the station wagon to anyone in the Frey research and development team.

So they came up with it themselves?

'A station wagon would be really good. Who came up with it?'

It was indeed a selling point.

But in modern-day Huaren, self-driving is not yet popular.

Never mind, it's not popular in Huaren, but it is quite popular in Europe and the United States.

Is it popular in South America?

It should be fine. After all, economically speaking, South America is quite good.

Xia Qiong smiled lightly, but there was a hint of self-satisfaction on her face.

She had read European car magazines and knew that people like to travel there, and the Frey is really quite suitable for this kind of self-guided tour.

Yang Zixing did not lead the team that designed the Frey, but he has always paid attention to its development.

'The station wagon idea was proposed by Xia Qiong.'

Han Songlin: 'Yes, this will definitely become a major selling point for our cars in the future.'

Han Songlin thought for a moment: 'When promoting the car, we can focus more on the family car segment, taking the family on a trip.'

Very few cars nowadays pay attention to the needs of the family.

So is there a demand for family cars?

Han Songlin believes that there definitely is, the market has always been there, it just depends on whether it has been developed.
