Chapter 501: Geneva Motor Show Continued II
Guo Tailai didn't know how they discussed it, but Guo Tailai's starting point was definitely not to directly study military technology, but to want a super lightweight but strong enough composite material for vehicles. It's just that according to the research direction proposed by Guo Tailai, the research results are a bit unexpected and can be used on airplanes.
Even if the country is blocked, Airbus will develop it within a year or two at most. It doesn't make much sense to them to block or not.
The matter of finding a manufacturer in China will still be in charge of Christina Company, which has rich experience in authorized production.
In addition to composite materials, Guo Tailai also ordered ten tons of heat-resistant metals from the domestic special steel factory, all of which were sent to the factory of Pagani in Italy. This is the most suitable steel for engines that Guo Tailai has seen so far, except for titanium alloys. It can definitely increase the power of the engine by at least 50% on the basis of maintaining the life of the engine.
The domestic matter came to an end, because it was delayed for a day, and the next day, Guo Tailai and Long Fei finally boarded the flight to Switzerland.
This year's Geneva Motor Show is very lively, and all major car manufacturers have participated in the exhibition. However, Guo Tailai is not interested in the ordinary models exhibited, what he is most concerned about is how popular Pagani's Zonda C12 will be. This is the first official appearance of Pagani, and Guo Tailai is looking forward to it. The other is the ultimate version of the RX7. I don’t know what modifications have been made after it was mass-produced by Mazda, and what changes have been made in the data.
Because of a delay of one day, when we arrived in Geneva, the auto show had already opened. Countless car enthusiasts came from all over the world to participate in this grand auto show. The lively posture is comparable to that of the Forbidden City Museum, which is on National Day holiday more than ten years later.
Speaking barely proficient English, Guo Tailai quickly found the Pagani exhibition area with Long Fei. As soon as he entered the exhibition area, Long Fei stared at the silver-gray Zonda C12, his eyes straightened immediately, wishing he could jump on the hood of the car and never come down again. That feeling is like a hungry wolf seeing a lost lamb, wishing to swallow it in one gulp drooling.
It's so beautiful, Long Fei can swear that this is the most beautiful supercar he has ever seen, a real supercar. He asked Guo Tailai all the way on the way, no matter how detailed Guo Tailai's explanation was, nothing he saw on the spot was more touching.
It's a pity that there were so many people that Long Fei couldn't squeeze in front, and didn't even have the opportunity to sit in the cab for a closer look. He could only watch a group of people line up in front of him like perverts who coveted beautiful women and caress that beautiful car. show car.
"G, you came too late, you didn't see the moment when the curtain covering the Zonda was pulled up." Mr. Pagani was all smiles, looking at the big and tall Guo Tailai who came over, although Guo Tailai's figure was a bit Changes, but this big tall man and this familiar feeling will not change. After giving Guo Tailai a bear hug, Mr. Pagani excitedly said to Guo Tailai: "The moment the answer to the mystery was revealed, all the people present were amazed by it. Believe me, there will be hundreds of media outlets publishing our story tomorrow." the son of."
"I have no doubt about this!" Guo Tailai's smile was also blooming, but his eyes had passed through the crowd, passed through the beautiful and elegant show car, and saw a model with higher performance.
"Are you ready?" Pagani suddenly asked under the inexplicable eyes of a group of people.
"Of course!" Guo Tailai's answer was also puzzling: "Believe me, this time, I came here for this reason."
Mr. Pagani's eyes lit up when he heard Guo Tailai's answer. That question was said last time after Guo Tai visited the unreleased version of Zodiac. He had to make some preparations and then recreate a high-performance version of Zodiac. Now, is Guo Tailai ready?
"I plan to finish the auto show, go to the Louvre to see the real "Mona Lisa Smile", and then rush to our factory to start manufacturing." Guo Tailai happily shared his schedule with Mr. Pagani: " Pagani, my friend, have you prepared the workshop I need?"
"Of course!" Mr. Pagani replied without hesitation, and then began to express his dissatisfaction: "G, you see, I have omitted the honorific title of Mr., and you still call me Mr. Pagani, which is not fair. In response, I think it's only fair that you should call me P."
"As you wish, P." Guo Tailai was not pretentious at all, nor did he laugh at Mr. Pagani for not knowing Chinese and not knowing what the pronunciation of a single P letter means in Chinese, so he called out casually. Looking at the excited visitors, Guo Tailai asked Mr. Pagani: "Do you have an order?"
"We have built five prototype cars, one of which has been subjected to a crash test. This one is on display, and the other three have already had buyers." Mr. Pagani is really happy now: "Now I can finally say that we It worked!"
"No, P, you succeeded." Guo Tailai was very happy for his friend: "Congratulations, my friend."
"I also look forward to your success." Pagani enjoyed the congratulations from his friends very much, and happily wished Guo Tailai.
"I have no doubt about it." Guo Tai replied confidently, both of them had happy smiles on their faces.
"By the way, P, have you seen the ultimate version of Mazda's RX7?" Guo Tailai asked Mr. Pagani while he was happy.
"I have seen it before the opening." Mr. Pagani replied affirmatively: "G, a very beautiful car with very beautiful performance."
"Thank you. I want to go and have a look." Guo Tailai expressed his gratitude to Mr. Pagani for his appreciation, and at the same time planned to go and see for himself. So far, he doesn't know how Mazda's mass-produced and retuned car will perform.
Without further ado, Mr. Pagani immediately helped Guo Tailai find a staff member to lead the way. Guo Tailai greeted Long Fei. Although Long Fei was reluctant to give up, he thought that RX7 had his own contribution and wanted to see the changes in the mass-produced version, so they walked over together.
The rotary engine was originally designed by the Germans, and Mazda bought it later. In a certain sense, some people in Europe still relatively recognize the rotor. When Guo Tailai walked over, many people were looking at the ultimate Mazda RX7.
"Mr. Guo!" Hisashi Matsuyama was actually there at the scene. When he saw Guo Tailai coming, Guo Tailai was a little thin at first, but he didn't dare to admit it. After confirming, he immediately greeted him in surprise: "Welcome, please take a look and evaluate our quantity." The performance of the production version."
