General Nan Zheng is bold and courageous, with his waist crossed by autumn water and his sword extended.
The wind blows mountains and rivers, and the lightning flashes high.
There is a unicorn in the sky. How can the ants in the cave escape?
My husband and I unbuttoned our shirts the day we came back from peace.
19 July 10, ferdinand porsche's classic Volkswagen Beetle stopped its production line and bid farewell to the car world that has been operating in Puebla for 80 years. More than a month later, on August 25th, 2065438+2009, when the world was still in a trance, the Ferdinand family revealed the bad news-ferdinand porsche's grandson "the godfather of the public" ferdinand piech died. Last time we talked about the death in the prime of life in Malchow, this time we will talk about the legendary life of ferdinand piech, an automobile master.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that "the poor are rich in martial arts", which roughly means that poor scholars can dig a wall to borrow light, hang beams and stab stocks, and borrow some travelling expenses to go to Beijing to catch the exam, so once they become the top scholar, they can work part-time and improve their quality of life, but it is easy to understand that children from poor families can hardly make achievements in martial arts. Because nutrition can't keep up, it is obviously more difficult for the poor to practice muscles than to recite texts. Han Fei said: "The prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce soldier must be born with a stroke." This means that whether it is a civilian or a military post, if you want to achieve the highest official position, you must go through the forging and tempering of grassroots work.
As for the dialectical relationship between literature and martial arts, the above two sentences have made it very clear. If it is applied to the automobile industry, literature is a kind of civil servant, marketing and legal work, and Wushu is a kind of technology, vehicle research and development and performance engineering-and Piech is the absolute "Wushu champion".
There is a saying in Broken Array: "At the end of Qin Dynasty, the dynasty declined and heroes were everywhere. There is a hero in the state of Chu, surnamed Xiang, whose eyes are stiff and he can carry a tripod, which makes people breathless. " Xiang Yu is the best example of "being poor in literature and rich in arms". He was born in a noble family in Chu, and he didn't have to worry about his livelihood since he was a child. He studied swordsmanship and art of war with his uncle since childhood, so he had enough time and energy to learn how to lead troops to fight, and he had no worries about food and clothing, which supported him to exercise a strong body, so he had a brave and incomparable "King Chu".
Pierre's situation is similar, because he is an out-and-out "rich three generations"-according to his autobiography "Cars and Me", children at home can practice "listening to the sound and shifting gears" every day from the age of five. 18 as soon as he got his driver's license, his mother gave him a fashionable red convertible Porsche 356 as an adult gift, and soon he had a Porsche Super? 90(356 racing version), one is responsible for pulling the wind and the other is responsible for speeding; After the racing accident, super? /kloc-scrapped in 0/990, Pierre bought a mountain sports car with insurance compensation, and installed an old engine and modified it during his college years, thus starting his automobile engineering practice; Later, due to puppy love, early marriage and early childbearing, Pierre sold the mountain sports car to supplement his family and drove the Beetle at home again. His mother was distressed and gave him two worn-out Mercedes. Pierre actually pieced together two old cars and continued to use them. Now this modified car with the license plate number "S20 1" is still on display at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. When I got my engineering degree at the age of 25, my graduation project was already amazing 1.5L? V 12 air-cooled F 1 engine.
This is like, it is impossible for captain America to lead the troops to fight before he accepts the physical transformation experiment. It is impossible for poor children to know the engine speed at the age of 5, 18 to drive the track version, and at the age of 22, they are proficient in automobile transformation. Pierre's later brilliant automobile career has a lot to do with the family history of this rich family and the automobile industry family.
Besides, "a valiant soldier is born in a pawn." No one is a born general, so we should start with soldiers, such as the famous soldiers in Qin, Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the early years of Sui Dynasty, Qin Qiong worked under the account of Laihuer, Zhang Xutuo and Pei, with a lower rank. Later, he went to Shimi, the leader of Wagang Rebel Army. Although he was defeated, he gradually improved his ability to lead troops to fight. After the defeat, he defected to the king. Zheng was not ashamed, but he was treacherous and finally defected to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, fought in the south and fought in the north. He made outstanding achievements and was eventually promoted to General Zuo Wuwei and Duke Yong.
His career also has two characteristics similar to Qin's: First, he moved to several automobile brands. Second, start from the bottom and eventually become the head.
When he first entered Porsche, Piech was just a grass-roots employee in the racing engine laboratory, which coincided with the completion of the design of the 9 1 1 model and the simultaneous development of the 906 model by his eldest cousin Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, but he had just finished the exterior design. Jealous of his outstanding ability, in order to compete for the Piech family, he came first, led a design team with only a few people to win the 9 1 1 team, and completed the design of the track version 906 engine earlier. Of course, the classic models he left at Porsche included the Porsche 9 17, which was later famous for its speed and light weight.
However, Piech left Porsche and worked in Mercedes for half a year because of the smoke of the earlier succession struggle. Due to the pressure of cost control, his play was limited. Later, he switched to Audi at 1973, and still quickly solved the "big problems" such as the loose screw of Audi 80 cardan shaft and the substandard exhaust gas of Audi 100. Later, by promoting the introduction of quattro technology and the use of TDI engine, Piech was a great hero who completely saved Audi from the marginal car brand camp, so he went from technical researcher, director of experimental department to engineering manager to vice president of Audi.
During the period of 1993, Piech joined audi ag as CEO and chairman, and gradually optimized the production and procurement of Volkswagen. During the period of 1996, initial results were achieved in business restructuring and streamlining. Volkswagen Group successfully acquired Lamborghini and Bugatti SAS brands, and upgraded Volkswagen and Audi to high-end car brands. After retiring in 2002, Piech served as the chairman of the supervision committee of Volkswagen and the business consultant of the group until his death on 20 19. During this period, under his instructions, the new beetle was mass-produced and achieved initial success in the North American market.
As mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, the legendary life of the Beatles and Piech is full of drama step by step-childhood gear enlightenment, lush years, lingering in old age. I sincerely wish this "champion of martial arts in the car industry" who has a car and a life and brilliant achievements will still be a teenager after going to heaven.
