Chapter 292 The Upcoming BMW
"Is there anything I need to take away?" After Li Zitao asked, Mitchell took out a leather bag.
"It's all here." He patted the leather bag, which was full of documents, and his flying glasses, which were all his belongings.
After receiving General William Sims, the plane returned to Los Angeles, and then headed to the city of New Orleans again, returning after dropping off Sims.
"Let's go to the factory together."
"my pleasure."
The three arrived at Skunk by car, and the R&D center completed at the end of May was fully put into use, including the production line and its automatic mechanization improvement.
Li's Engineering Machinery Research and Development Office, which cooperates with the University of Champaign, is in charge of this project, and the cooperation between the two parties is in charge of the cooperation between the two parties.
"The commissioning of the assembly line is over, and there are still 4 days to complete the 10-day inspection. If it goes well, the production capacity will increase by 40% compared with the current most advanced assembly line—"
Kelly Johnson, who oversees administration and power research and development, took everyone on a tour of the entire research center.
After two months of running-in after being put into use, the Skunk R&D Center is on the right track.
"Is this place only used to produce your toys?" Mitchell asked with a dark face.
In his opinion, such advanced technology is only used to make luxury goods like Gulfstream' toys. '
Isn't this reckless?
"These can satisfy the assembly of any small and medium-sized aircraft, but currently there are only Gulfstream orders." Before the BOSS could speak, Johnson took the lead.
"What about fighter jets? Do you have any relevant research?" Mitchell said thoughtfully.
"Of course, our appearance research and development team has been working hard on this aspect. Hughes is a fighter fan—"
Johnson and Mitchell walked forward while discussing. They were going to find Hughes in the Shape R&D Center, and Mitchell had fallen in love with it.
"The mission is over." Li Zitao said and walked out.
"When will my Gulfstream be delivered?" Lawrence couldn't wait.
"Wait a minute, who asked you to ask for too many things, all of which need to be specially customized." The voices of the two gradually faded away.
The number of hangars next to the small airport has increased by six, and the Gulfstream 100 is parked inside.
These are orders that will be delivered soon, and the buyers are all members of the No. 22 Club, as well as members of the Fuguo Centurion Black Card.
With the expansion of the business territory, the members of Club No. 22 began to enjoy various exclusive and distinguished services.
Take the Gulfstream 100 as an example, each $240,000, the price remains unchanged.
Members of the No. 22 Club can enjoy free customization services, and the interior materials will also be upgraded to a higher level.
Of course, if you want the best materials, you need to pay more.
After all, this thing is just like decoration, only better, not the best, and all the burdens will become a bottomless pit.
Also, like the Fuguo Centurion Black Card, the application requirements for Club No. 22 members can be appropriately relaxed and lowered.
Who made them their own!
This condition is mainly aimed at politicians, as well as well-known scholars and scientists like Dewey.
A businessman who can become a member is not worth enough.
Now the order for Gulfstream 100 has been scheduled until next year. The various performances of this aircraft, as well as its convenient and luxurious interior, have been recognized by the rich.
Orders from club members and royal families are at the top of the list to be delivered.
On the way back to Los Angeles, Li Zitao saw a number of F931s passing by on the road. This pickup is the hottest on the market today.
Carrying people and goods, as well as towing functions, the diesel engine is powerful, and is sought after by many farmers and families living in the suburbs.
"At the beginning, you should swap the prices of the diesel version and the gasoline version." Watching another F931 pass by, Lawrence suggested.
The price of the F931 gasoline version is 550 US dollars, and the diesel version is 450 US dollars. The difference of 100 US dollars, in Lawrence's view, is a misjudgment of the market.
"No, that's exactly what I want to see." Li Zitao smiled,
With the same configuration, stronger power, and cheaper price, the desire to buy will be stimulated immediately.
Moreover, compared with the gasoline version, the performance of the diesel version on bad roads is also more stable and firm.
If possible, Li Zitao hopes that they will all choose the diesel version, because compared to the cost of the gasoline version, the cost of the diesel version is more than $100 lower.
As for the gasoline version, its price can be raised a bit more, perhaps this contrast can further increase the desire to buy.
Compared with the development of Cadillac, the performance of Aegis Motors is not eye-catching.
Cadillac released the top luxury sedan at the beginning of the year, the Cadillac V-16.
With a 16-cylinder engine, a retractable soft top, beautiful streamlines, a variety of color options and excellent sound insulation, it further expands its market share.
Cadillac, which is in the limelight, is the opponent that Chrysler, Ford and General Motors are concerned about.
Li Zitao's Aegis car is still a small ant. At most, the giants will smile and say "interesting," and then order people to study its structure, and they will no longer take it seriously.
In addition to the Aegis F931 currently on sale under Aegis Motors, what really makes people look forward to is BMW, the 309 series that will be mass-produced.
The kidney grille radiator at the front of the car is the predecessor of the iconic front face of the BMW family that has lasted for a century. It has a straight-line six-cylinder engine with a braking power of 15kW.
The world's first coupe will also come out this year and next year, the BMW 231.
Anyone who is familiar with the history of BMW will find that the BMW 231 under development is the most evocative coupe in BMW history, the BMW 328 series.
Aegis is exactly the previously defined Aegis. Compared with this name, Aegis sounds easier to remember.
...
The car arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Li Zitao got out of the car, Lawrence waved his hand and said, "I'm dating a hot girl, let's go first."
"This bastard." After cursing with a smile, Li Zitao straightened his collar, took a long breath and walked towards the hotel.
"Boss, I miss you so much!" Jessie the elk said and was about to pounce on him.
"Okay, you're thinking of Paris, London, Milan, Rome, buy, buy, buy—" Li Zitao lowered her head when she said a name.
"Where's Bergman?" Li Zitao had already given up on her treatment, so let it be!
"I'll take you there, BOSS." Jessie turned around hurriedly with her head buried in her chest, patted her chest and muttered, "Fortunately, BOSS doesn't know anything else."
"..." Li Zitao squeezed out a well on his forehead.
After deciding to appease Bergman, he asked carefully, what else did this elk do in the past six months?
"Boss, Bergman is inside, I, I'll stay here." Jesse stood at the door, lowered her head and said obediently.
"Well, don't run around, let's talk about it later." Squeezing out a smile, Li Zitao pushed open the door and walked into the room amidst the shivering expression of the little elk.
"Don't touch me, go find your fiancé...No, oh...Yeah, Yes——" Blinking her cute eyes, Jesse clenched her legs unnaturally.
