Chapter 456 Investment Cooperation (Part 1)

"Engine?" McLaren's receptionist spread his hands and replied to the Swede: "As you can see, it's just a high precision machining." He will tell his possible competitors when he is full. The truth.

The Swede looked at the engine again, and felt that he was thinking too much. The Chinese person should be someone from Rolls-Royce and Pagani he met at the last car auction. Otherwise, he couldn't explain why those two companies It would be such a fun conversation with him.

The Swedes don't care, though. It's just a fake yellow-skinned monkey, and even joined forces with the Japanese to fake it. Although the speed of 385 kilometers per hour they said was amazing, it was obviously bragging. Chinese people, how is it possible?

Koenigsegg's first model is under intense design testing. When Guo Tailai auctioned the car last time, Koenigsegg couldn't spare any manpower to pay attention, let alone attend. Swedes are more willing to believe that it was the Japanese who introduced Guo Tailai to co-act in order to increase the popularity of the new model for hype. No, now the whole world knows that Mazda will launch a high-performance version of RX7 soon. In fact, this advertisement does It's very good, and the effect is great.

Just a small person, the Swedes quickly left Guo Tailai behind and began to think about the engine in front of them. The all-titanium alloy engine is indeed a gimmick, but if you really want to achieve higher performance, there are better choices. For example, lighter carbon fiber can be used for the engine cover, and even some parts can also be replaced with carbon fiber. The cost may be higher, but the performance will be better.

However, the all-titanium alloy engine is not without benefits, at least in terms of life and thermal efficiency, it will be greatly improved. McLaren's F1 car is probably the same idea. And the gimmick is even more gimmick, a little exaggeration of the processing difficulty of titanium alloy, basically a car equipped with this engine can be justifiably marked with a super high price.

The processing precision of this all-titanium alloy engine is extremely high, and the Swedes even began to consider whether it is possible to order one or two from Mercedes-Benz and try it on their own new models?

Guo Tailai chatted very speculatively with representatives of Rolls-Royce and Mr. Pagani. They are all obsessed with creating top-level artworks by hand, and they are all people who do this by themselves. Of course, the more they chat, the happier they are.

Rolls-Royce is extremely interested in the all-titanium alloy engine, which can naturally enhance the style of the car. Although Rolls-Royce has now been sold to BMW, parts are still produced by Volkswagen, and this situation will continue until the end of 2002.

"If we are willing to provide engine design drawings, can you accept us to order a very small amount of all-titanium alloy engines?" Rolls-Royce's request is not high, only this.

Guo Tailai is of course willing, as long as he does not demand exclusiveness, Guo Tailai is completely willing to maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with Rolls-Royce. Although Rolls-Royce is slightly declining now, the old classic brand is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. They have their own unique engine design, just like Mercedes-Benz, they are willing to let Guo Tailai earn a processing fee.

The specific price must be negotiated by Lin Jiayi. The people from Rolls-Royce did not stay for long, but left after drinking a cup of coffee with Guo Tailai and Mr. Pagani. The rest of the matter will wait for Lin Jiayi to contact and negotiate in detail.

Mr. Pagani is not only interested in Guo Tailai's processing ability. Before meeting with Guo Tailai, Mr. Pagani studied Guo Tailai very carefully. Of course, it is limited to the part known abroad, but it is enough for Mr. Pagani.

First, Guo Tailai sold the top-equipped RX7 to Mazda. The power and output torque of that rotary engine were greatly improved by Guo Tailai. What does this mean? This shows that Guo Tailai's car engine is far more than just high-precision machining.

Pagani also learned from Mercedes-Benz that Guo Tailai only spent one afternoon looking at the design drawings, but he casually mentioned a few figures. After a night of hard work by dozens of people from Mercedes-Benz, he found that the thickness figures were just right. What does this mean? It shows that Guo Tailai is definitely a master of engine design.

Such a master in engine design, and also has first-class hands-on processing capabilities. Even the titanium alloys that are recognized as difficult to process in the world can be handcrafted so beautifully. Why is such a partner not interested? Is there any reason not to cooperate further?

Mr. Pagani himself has been an assembler to a designer, and he is very experienced in production and assembly. He is also very eloquent when talking about these with Guo Tai. Although the two of them are not very proficient in English, they can chat very speculatively.

Facing this middle-aged man who also pursues the ultimate in performance, Guo Tailai did not hide his assembly techniques at all, how to achieve precision, how to achieve an even distribution of the center of gravity, and how to achieve the best performance, he explained everything.

Although Mr. Guo Tailai's handicrafts can't be done by himself, it doesn't prevent him from sharing some of his experience in manual assembly with Guo Tailai. Not only in assembly, but also in car design, there is also a lot of common language. The two chatted like this for hours without knowing it, and they didn't stop until it was meal time.

"Mr. Pagani, you are about to launch the zonda." Guo Tailai said what he always wanted to say at the dinner table: "If possible, can you let me see your new car?"

"Of course!" Mr. Pagani didn't care at all. In fact, the model has already been finalized and production has already begun, and it is only ready to be launched at the Geneva Motor Show. Guo Tai came to an expert like Guo Tai to take a look and give some advice. There is no problem at all. Mr. Pagani couldn't ask for more.

Naturally, when Pagani talked about possible engine manufacturing cooperation with Guo Tailai, Guo Tailai also agreed. This middle-aged man is very suitable for Guo Tailai's appetite, has the same pursuit, and does not show any racial discrimination. He has great respect for Guo Tailai, and Guo Tailai is very happy to cooperate with him. If possible, Guo Tailai is even willing to invest in Pagani and build an independent studio for himself here.

Building an independent studio in Modena, Italy, the hometown of supercars with Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Pagani and even Ducati, is much more high-end than casually buying a car repair shop in other places, especially There are supporting industries around. Even if Guo Tailai wants to play with a new car, he can easily find a supplier. He doesn't have to wait for imports like he is in China.

Especially in this small town there is Ducati, and motorcycles can also be played.
