Chapter 455 Dissatisfied (Part 2)

Basically, as soon as Pagani learned about McLaren's all-titanium alloy engine and asked about McLaren's engine manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz knew what Guo Tailai meant.

This is indeed something that Mercedes-Benz did wrong. They dragged on for a whole week to live and die on an exclusivity clause. Guo Tailai has made it clear that it is impossible to accept the exclusive clause, and they still have to drag it out, and they dragged it out for three more days. Fortunately, Mercedes-Benz knew that it wanted something from others, so it didn't show the arrogance of the Caucasian, but was very polite.

Now as soon as Guo Tailai contacted Pagani, Mercedes-Benz knew something was wrong. There are Mercedes-Benz engineers at McLaren. After a little understanding, Guo Tailai also contacted Rolls-Royce and Koenigsegg, all of which are manufacturers of high-end cars by hand. It is completely meaningless for Mercedes-Benz to want to monopolize it. . Based on this situation, Mercedes-Benz provided comprehensive data on all titanium alloy engines that they have tested in detail.

When Guo Tailai met the representatives of the three companies, Rolls-Royce and Pagani already had a detailed understanding of the engine data, and only the Koenigsegg family was still in the dark. However, after all, it is a car manufacturer that produces supercars. Even if you use common sense to estimate, you know that the performance of an all-titanium alloy engine must be better than that of cast iron. Even under the premise of the same output power, the weight must be greatly reduced.

This is why Koenigsegg is willing to talk. However, when Guo Tailai appeared, the representative of the Swedish supercar company did not seem to believe that Guo Tailai could achieve the super precision he saw. He believes that the German high-precision CNC machining center can do it, but he never believes that one person can do it by hand.

As for McLaren, the people from Koenigsegg saw that the engine was already at its limit. They are all supercar manufacturers. They would never tell the representatives of Koenigsegg that this engine was really handmade by a Chinese. build assembly. After all, there is a big Mercedes-Benz logo on it, and of course they ordered it from Mercedes-Benz. Moreover, what McLaren said is completely correct. It is Mercedes-Benz that signed the contract with Guo Tailai. The production and factory inspections are all carried out at the Mercedes-Benz headquarters. There is no problem with saying that it is a Mercedes-Benz product.

"We are here to see the all-titanium alloy engine, not to conduct business negotiations with you, Mr. Guo." The Swede is very arrogant and does not take Guo Tai into his eyes at all: "What we need is this kind of world-class super engine. It's not a performance here by a Chinese boy with no hair. Huaxia? Is there an automobile industry? Is there a supercar?"

Of course China has the automobile industry, but it seems that there are no supercars. Guo Tailai has nothing to say, but basically Koenigsegg is definitely out. There are too many such people in Europe and America, and Guo Tailai doesn't bother to pay attention to them.

"Our ordinary car, designed and built by Mr. Guo, ran a top speed of 385 kilometers on the New Nordschleife last year, and it was still under uneven conditions." Lin Jiayi was unwilling to be humiliated like this , immediately confronted him and asked coldly: "Of course, the highest speed record is 386.7 kilometers per hour set by the McLaren F1. I don't know what kind of good results your company's super sports car has achieved. ?”

The car designed and built by Guo Tailai himself has an official lap time on the New Nordschleife, but it is not a mass-produced model. As for the highest speed record, although many engineers from major manufacturers were present at the time, they also recognized this speed. High-speed records are not official records. After all, that car was privately built, not a mass-produced car, and the lap time had already achieved good results, so Guo Tailai didn't care about the highest speed.

In fact, it was last year that a McLaren F1 model set the top speed record, just over a kilometer ahead of Guo Tailai's car.

Koenigsegg's representative was a little annoyed by Lin Jiayi's question, and quickly responded: "Our model has been designed and is in the final stage of finishing. Believe me, beautiful lady, when our car comes out, the world record will be over. will be ours."

When speaking, the representative of Koenigsegg made no secret of his confidence in the technology of his own factory and his contempt for Guo Tailai. He didn't even mention Guo Tailai, only the world record. Naked ignorance is his most suitable attitude towards Guo Tailai.

"Are you sure?" Guo Tailai felt uncomfortable looking at this guy, and if he didn't talk about it, he wouldn't talk about it, what are you talking about?

"I'm pretty sure!" The arrogant Swede said with a sneer, "Don't think you're so great just because you can sell a car to Mazda. You yellow-skinned monkeys have come to Europe to play tricks, go back to your Asian territory and play." Your cheating little game."

"Believe me, you will never have any records in terms of speed." Guo Tailai smiled and said nothing more. This guy doesn't want to see Guo Tailai, and Guo Tailai doesn't bother to talk to him. After saying this, Guo Tailai turned around directly, without even looking at the arrogant Swede, and went straight to the representative of Pagani who was not far away and looked at the situation here and smiled.

Pagani did not simply send a technical representative, but Pagani's current boss. Seeing Guo Tailai approaching, Mr. Pagani's eyes shone with a strange light of excitement.

"Mr. Pagani, are you interested in creating a record-breaking super sports car?" Guo Tailai just asked with a smile, and Mr. Pagani immediately nodded quickly, and said in the same unproficient English: "I am very happy! Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo..."

"You can call me G." Guo Tailai smiled and said to Mr. Pagani. Foreigners are not good at speaking Chinese. If they are not familiar with it, they can’t pronounce the correct pitch. Every time they have four tones, or three tones. To save trouble, Guo Tailai let them call himself G more easily.

"Okay, Mr.G." Mr. Pagani changed his words politely: "I am very interested in the engine you built, and I am also very interested in the record-setting super sports car you mentioned. I think we can have a good time. chat."

"Hey!" Someone next to him was unhappy, it was a representative of Rolls-Royce: "Actually, we came first. Mr.G, we are also very interested in the engine you built, and we can build a long-lasting partnership."

"Of course, the reason why I contacted you is to see if there is any possibility of cooperation." Guo Tailai laughed: "I don't think there should be a competitive relationship between the two of you, but you both adhere to the concept of hand-crafted products. You can sit down and have a drink, don't you think?"

Seeing Guo Tailai talking and laughing happily with Rolls-Royce and Pagani, the arrogant Swede froze on the spot. Is there something in this that I don't know about? How could the two of them have such a good relationship with that Chinese man?
