Chen Geng's eyes fell on Grigory Biaggio: he understood why Grigory Biaggio didn't tell him, he came to ask for investment.

Seeing Chen Geng's gaze fall on him, Grigory Biaggio knew that he had to speak, and he said to Chen Geng apologetically: "Mr. Fernandez, I'm very sorry for not making an appointment in advance, but please understand my urgency, I really want to communicate with you about this matter." ”

"It doesn't matter. Chen Geng nodded and said, "This is not a place to chat, Mr. Giugiaro, should we find a place to have a cup of coffee and chat while drinking, or do we first look at the car I designed for Ford, and then we will find a place to order a cup of coffee and chat slowly?"

Grigory Biaggio and Giugiaro breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The reason why Grigory Piaggio was relieved was that Chen Geng had already shown his attitude with this action: he was not annoyed by his low status, and he was willing to talk to him about it - in Western social etiquette, his practice of coming without telling him was undoubtedly quite impolite, but Chen Geng was still willing to talk to himself, which was very face-saving for himself, although nine percent of the reasons for his doing this were for Giugiaro's face.

As for Mr. Giugiaro, the reason for his relief is even simpler: in the final analysis, this matter is still not authentic for himself.

Although Fernandez did not say anything, Mr. Giugiaro felt that it must have taken considerable effort to persuade Mr. Henry Ford, the chairman of Ford Motors, to allow him to tour the highly secret model they were developing.

As a bigwig with extraordinary influence in the automotive industry, Giugiaro is well aware of the whole favor that Chen Geng has given him: there has never been an example of an OEM allowing a third-party car designer who has nothing to do with the project to visit in the early stages of the development of a top-secret project, even if he is the owner of Giugiaro Design Studio, one of the "world's three largest automotive design studios".

It's a very, very big favor!

But he didn't say hello in advance and brought his old friend here, Giugiaro even felt very ashamed in his heart, if he didn't really resist the request of his old friend, he would never do such a thing that lost his identity.

Grigory Piaggio was the first to speak, "Why don't we find a place to have a drink first, as my apologies, I will invite this meal," and after a pause, he said with some embarrassment: "I have to visit a friend in the afternoon." ”

Well, a smart person who knows what he can and can't do.

Chen Geng's impression of Grigory Piaggio was much better, and he said with a smile: "When I arrive in Detroit, I am the host, how can there be a reason for the host to let the guests treat? ”

........................

said that it was Chen Geng's invitation, but in the end it was Grigory Biaggio who was invited.

After casually commenting on the coffee in this coffee shop, Grigory Piaggio took the lead in opening the topic: "Mr. Fernandez, since you already know that our Piaggio Group intends to make business jets, I wonder if you are interested in working together?"

Chen Geng didn't answer, but looked at Giugiaro.

Giugiaro shrugged his shoulders and said bluntly: "Gregory and I both admire your talent in industrial design, and besides, not only do you have the idea of making airplanes, but you also seem to be very rich. ”

Giugiaro did not taboo the reason why the Piaggio Group chose to cooperate with Chen Geng was because he investigated Chen Geng's financial situation - in fact, after Chen Geng left, Giugiaro specially asked friends in the United States to investigate Chen Geng's situation.

After the American friend made it clear that it was most likely only part of Fernández's wealth, Giugiaro and Grigory Biaggio were determined to bring Chen Geng on board: very rich, and with a desire to make airplanes, could there be a more suitable collaborator than him these days?

It's a big truth!

Chen Geng immediately smiled: "The Piaggio Group wants to make business jets...... Mr. Gregory, can you tell me a little bit about your vision for this business jet, or who are you setting for the competition?"

"Do you know anything about the King Air series aircraft of the Beechcraft company?" Grigory Piaggio thought for a moment and asked Chen Geng.

"Well," Chen Geng nodded: "I have an Air King 200." ”

“......”

The old man Giugiaro was immediately sad: he has lived for more than 50 years, and he has not even mixed up a private jet, and the kid in front of him, who is less than half his age, actually has a mid-to-high-end twin-engine propeller business jet like the Beechcraft King Air 200......

There is a feeling that all these years have lived to a dog.

"Uh......" Grigory Biaggio was also stunned for a moment: "I also have one, but it is the King of the Air 90......"

"So the target you are aiming at is the King of the Air?" Chen Geng asked curiously, "Can you tell me why?"

"Because this plane makes me very uncomfortable to sit on," Grigory Biaggio was depressed at the mention of his plane: "This cabin makes me feel like I'm in a small dark room every time I sit in, it's too cramped, this shouldn't be the treatment that people like us who enjoy business jets should have, and most importantly, the speed of this plane is so slow."

After I had enough of this broken plane, I wanted to make a new aircraft that was inexpensive, had a lot of space, and was propeller-propelled at a speed comparable to that of a business jet. ”

Chen Gengxin nodded sympathetically: the cabin space of his King Air 200 is indeed a little cold, if Piaggio can really make such an aircraft, then this aircraft can be called epoch-making - in fact, they did it, in Chen Geng's opinion, Piaggio P180 is much more significant to general aviation than Honda's HondaJet.

But the old man Giugiaro unceremoniously exposed Grigory Piaggio's old bottom: "That's not the case at all! Fernandez, let me tell you, the reason why this guy decided to make an airplane is because when this guy went out to play with friends some time ago, he was laughed at by his friends who went out to play together." ”

Well?

Hearing that there was such gossip, Chen Geng's interest suddenly came, and then looked at Grigory Biaggio's wry smile, but he didn't stop Giugiaro, and immediately understood the deeper meaning of the other party, and nodded with a smile: "Can you talk about it?"

"Of course, it's a topic that we all talk about," Giugiaro said, "and it's nothing, Gregory and a few of his friends went to Switzerland together, and his friend's plane was a Falcon 10, which was a business jet, and there was a lot of space in it, and it could even make you straighten your back and lift your head, so, huh...... You should be able to think of the rest of the ......"

Chen Geng can really think of what happened behind him, just like a few car friends driving out to play, others drove a Mercedes-Benz C, you drove a Suzuki Swift, everyone is friends on weekdays, but at this moment the gap in the car has made you feel a little unable to raise your head in front of your friends, but this buddy who drives a Mercedes-Benz C keeps stimulating you, patting the Mercedes-Benz C of the self-frame and keeps spitting Xingzi to tell you that your little swift is not good, it is not good, it is like a big scalp shoe, and it is also a car that people sit in? Spacious, face-saving...... Something like that, right......

One can imagine what Grigory Piaggio would be stimulated.

If Gregory Biaggio is really poor, he can only buy a small swift in the field, but people are not the owner who can't afford to buy Mercedes-Benz C, but he has always felt that it is not necessary, but he was stimulated by this, Grigory Biaggio immediately quit: Isn't it Mercedes-Benz C? What's wrong with Mercedes-Benz C? If you start construction S600, brother will endure it, as if who can't afford to buy an entry-level Mercedes-Benz C......

Look at your cowardice!

Isn't it Mercedes-Benz C?,Buddy really disdains to buy.,Dude directly has a similar ox X to Mercedes-Benz C.,When the time comes, brother can toss as much as he wants.,That's called cow beep!

That's pretty much what it looks like......

This is probably the initial motivation of the Piaggio Group to make the P180 aircraft? Speaking of which, the P180 business jet really does the above:

Great space!

With a height of 1.75 meters and a width of 1.85 meters, the cabin has the largest and most spacious space in the same price range, and women can walk in the cabin with their chests held high, while tall men need to show a little "humility" - but Grigory Biaggio does not need to;

High speed!

Although it uses two propeller engines, it can reach a maximum flight speed of an astonishing 730 kilometers per hour, and the cruising speed is more than 600, which is similar to the cruise speed of Embraer's Glesay 600 series, and a propeller-powered aircraft has the speed of a jet-powered aircraft, which is really enough for a cow beep;

As for the comfort and quietness of the cabin, it is also an existence that cannot be surpassed or even surpassed in the same class.

"Hearing you say this, I do have some interest in such a business jet," Chen Geng nodded and said, "Do you have a sketch now?"

When he said this, Chen Geng's eyes looked at Giugiaro, and he didn't believe that Giugiaro had nothing to do with this plane.
