In the woods south of Frankfurt, the main river, a tributary of the Rhine, flows through the air, and the aroma of grass leaves floats in the air.

The group walked towards the villa, and when they passed by the treasure code three series, Wu Qian said with a smile.

"Stefan, everyone in the world knows that the rich people in your country live a low-key life, and it is easy to understand that the mansion is built in the forest, but is it a bit too much for you to drive a three-series family?"

Regarding this matter, Wu Qian was worried, walked to Stefan's car, and asked a special question.

As he spoke, Wu Qian circled around the white treasure code three series, looked carefully at the driver's seat, and then squatted down to check the exhaust, if it wasn't inconvenient, he even wanted to open the hood to take a look.

Wu Qian suspected that this was a high-performance car in disguise, just like the Golf of the previous chairman of the third year, it could easily soar to 300 kilometers per hour with one foot of the accelerator, and only the shell was still the Golf from the inside out, and other parts that had long been replaced with supercars.

However, Wu Qian felt that he was wrong, no matter from which point of view, this treasure code three series is an ordinary family sedan on the market, which is not much different from the one sold in the Celestial Empire, and it is also a right-hand drive car.

Stefan saw Wu Qian's curious look and said with a smile: "Wu, you misunderstood, this is not my car, this is a three-series model that will be launched this year, and I am doing a long-term evaluation." ”

"My friends say that you like cars very much, so you must know that some flaws in the design will be fully exposed in daily use, I just want to see what flaws are in the details, and then submit the problems found to the design department for them to improve. ”

Wu Qian did know that even if a car was put on sale, the car company would still conduct long-term testing, after all, the testing time before the market was limited, and some problems could not be fully exposed.

When car companies find hidden dangers in the testing process, they will carry out recalls, of course, sometimes they are recalled because of customer complaints, in short, it is good to recall and solve them.

But he really didn't expect that Stefan was testing vehicles for the group, and the big boss did it himself, which is very worth learning.

Without waiting for Wu Qian to express his feelings, Stefan continued: "Usually I don't drive much, so if I want to drive, I usually drive a test car, otherwise I use helicopters more." ”

The corners of Wu Qian's mouth flicked, is this low-key or high-profile?

Let's say it's low-key, there are millions or even tens of millions of helicopters, let's say it's high-profile, flying around in the air, ordinary people really can't even see people, it's really hard to define.

While chatting, the group walked into the villa.

From the exterior of the villa, the extensive use of wood makes the whole villa blend well with the forest, but when you enter the villa, you immediately have a different feeling.

From the beginning of the entrance, there are modern design elements everywhere, a very distinctive German industrial design style, and everywhere is neat and tough.

For this decoration style, Wu Qian doesn't like it much, but he doesn't hate it very much, but a problem can be seen from this decoration style.

Stefan Covante, who is nearly forty years old, is still single......

This matter is the answer that Yao Xinlu came up with through the analysis of the decoration style after Stefan left the villa.

The decoration style in the whole villa is too rigid, it is simply the favorite of straight men, without a trace of soft elements, even a German woman may not be able to stand it, this is completely Stefan's villa built for himself, and he has not considered the other half at all.

A man who is full of career may not be able to move his position to pretend to be a woman.

"I have arranged for the maid to clean up the villa again in advance, and at the same time prepare enough ingredients, the maid is afraid that you will not be used to it, so I will leave. ”

While taking Wu Qian to visit the residence, Stefan said that the biggest reason for removing the maid was that he was afraid that he didn't want Wu Qian to misunderstand.

"It's a bit far from downtown Frankfurt, Wu, if you don't think it's convenient to travel by car, there is a helipad in the backyard, I've arranged a helicopter, presumably someone around you should be able to drive it." ”

As a partner who is about to carry out in-depth cooperation, Stefan showed great courtesy to Wu Qian.

Wu Qian saw Bauer glaring at him, and said in his heart: "Stefan, thank you, when I bought the plane, Airbus gave me a helicopter, which was on the A380." ”

Stefan smiled: "Oh, it is very convenient to have a helicopter in Germany, Wu, you give the relevant information of the helicopter to my assistant, let him apply for a helicopter route, and you can fly." ”

Germany is only a few hundred kilometers deep from east to west, north to south, and the endurance of a helicopter can meet all travel needs, which is simply not too convenient.

Stefan can understand Wu Qian's caution, the safety of air traffic is negligent, and it is normal for him to be unwilling to use the helicopter he provides.

"Stefan, I liked this villa very much, especially the setting, it is very peaceful, thank you for your hospitality. ”

After introducing the relevant things of the villa, several people sat down in the living room, and Wu Qian asked: "Which car of your group is the test car you said on the phone before?"

"The latest M8. ”

As he spoke, Stefan snapped his fingers, and it was obvious that he was looking forward to it.

Wu Qian raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "That GT sports car that just went on the market?"

Stefan nodded and said, "It's the same platform, but the test is a high-performance version that will be launched next year." ”

Wu Qian has always had a soft spot for GT sports cars, and the first car he bought, the Aston Martin DB11, was a GT sports car, which was not a pure sports car, but a model that ensured comfort and sportiness as much as possible.

He is no stranger to the M8 Wu Qian that Stefan said, although he is not interested in the treasure code M5 for some personal reasons, but it does not prevent him from paying attention to this excellent brand.

The design of the M8 is derived from a racing car inside the M8GTE, because the M8GTE won the championship of the 24 Hours of Daytona, so the M8GTE has created a civilian version according to a series of data of the M8GTE, that is, the M8.

At that time, when the M8 was launched, Wu Qian paid a little attention to the basic parameters, and finally gave up the plan because the appearance was not stunning enough and the engine was only a 4.4-liter V-shaped eight-cylinder engine.

But I didn't expect that it was just a relatively low-power version, and Baoma Group would launch a high-performance version in the coming year.

"I would venture to ask, how high is the performance of the high-performance version?" Wu Qian asked with a smile.

This kind of thing is a corporate secret until it is officially reported by the media, but in the conversation between Wu Qian and Stefan of this level, there is no secret at all.

Seeing Wu Qian's very interested appearance, Stefan made a strange expression and said, "Oh, Wu, it's just that the performance has improved a lot compared to the current M8 version, you don't think it will be the same as your Phantom......"

Wu Qian's Phantom is a 9.0-liter V-16 engine specially ordered by Rolls-Royce, which is not much in the world, but due to the orientation of the vehicle, the overall tuning is very soft and not irritable, but if necessary, Rolls-Royce engineers can make that engine burst out with wild energy.

"The high-performance version of the M8 uses a 6.6-litre V12-cylinder engine, which is a considerable improvement over the version launched this year, and accelerates from zero to 60 miles in less than three seconds. ”

"I believe that the high-performance version of the M8 will be much more competitive in the market. ”

Stefan has high expectations for the M8 high-performance version.

Wu Qian said in his heart that the price of the M8 ordinary version is already very high in the Celestial Empire, and if it is a high-performance version, the price will definitely rise further, which has touched the price field of real performance cars, and he is not as optimistic about the market as Stefan of the M8 high-performance version.

Not only the Celestial Empire, no matter where in the world, the price of the treasure code M8 has reached a higher range, and the positioning is a bit awkward.

Wu Qian didn't say what was in his heart, this was not a topic that should be discussed between the two.

Moreover, Baoma Group does not expect to use M8 to make money at all.

The most profitable car model of a car company is definitely not the one that sells the most expensive, just like Baoma Group, the model that helps Baoma Group make the most money is X5, accounting for 16% of the total revenue.

"I'd like to buy one when you say it's so wonderful, haha, when the M8 performance version is tested at the Nürburgring, please allow me to be the first customer in the world to own an M8. ”

Wu Qian said with a smile.

Stefan readily agreed, and again invited Wu Qian to go to the Nürburgring to watch the M8 high-performance version tested.

"Stefan, I know that normally the Nürburgring is not open, and it is basically used by your car companies for vehicle testing or holding competitions. ”

"This time I brought a car, which I haven't driven since I bought it, and I want to have fun on the track, and I really want to see the prestige of 'Green Hell', is it a big problem?"

Wu Qian asked.

There are not a thousand but eight hundred formal racing tracks in the world, but there are not many that can really be famous in the world, and the Nürburgring is a very famous one.

The Nürburgring Circuit is located in the small town of Nürburg, about 70 kilometers south of Cologne, Germany, and once hosted a Formula 1 race, divided into two circuits, the south circuit is just over five kilometers long, and the north circuit is nearly 23 kilometers.

The "green area" Wu Qian refers to is the Nürburgring Nordschleife, named because of the high accident rate, which caused many drivers to lose their lives on this track, but that is the old calendar, and the safety of the track has been greatly improved after the rebuilding in 1984.

However, the 305-meter track drop and the complex and changeable corners still make the Nürburgring Nord famous.

Nowadays, there are very few races scheduled at the Nürburgring Nord, which has basically become the queen test track of major car companies, and it is also the touchstone of performance cars!

For example, if a car company creates a confident performance car, before the release, it must go to the Nürburgring Nordschleife to run a lap, and if there is no lap time on the Nürburgring Nord Circuit, it will not have the face to open a new car press conference.

But there are occasional exceptions.

After Stefan heard Wu Qian's words, he suddenly became very interested, and hurriedly asked, "No problem, Wu, what car did you bring?"

Wu Qian smiled embarrassedly and said, "The parent company is also a company in your country, but this car is a French brand ......"

Stefan clapped his palms and said, "......Bugatti! I see, the new LaVoiture Noire, right?"

There are many brands under the big three, but the only one that can build a high-performance car is a French brand.

The trend of the top supercar company, as long as the industry will be very concerned, the first time Bugatti in the United Arab Emirates LaVoiture Noire press conference, when the president of Bugatti said that the first two supercars have been sold, one of which is owned by a wealthy man of the Celestial Empire.

Stefan synthesized the information he knew, and immediately guessed that the toy brought by Wu Qian was the Bugatti LaVoitureNoire.

It is true that Wu Qian bought that car and never drove it, it was placed in a manor in England at first, and then the new gym opened, and it was transported to the Celestial Empire for exhibition.

Wu Qian nodded, not denying it.

Stefan made an exaggerated expression and said, "There are only two cars in the world at present, Wu, you really surprise me, I have a request, I don't know if I can say it." ”

Wu Qian raised his hand and said, "Stefan, we are good friends, you can say anything about it." ”

Stefan organized the language for a moment, and then said: "Can you bring that Bugatti LaVolitureNoire back to the factory and ......study it before it goes to the track?"

Wu had a strange look in front of him, he really didn't expect Stefan's request to be so interesting, and a brand-new Bugatti LaVoiture Noire suffered from dissection before he could hit the track.

If cars could talk, LaVoitureNoire would have scolded.

"Truth be told, Wu, I was very interested in the engine in the Bugatti supercar, and I talked to the engineers about it when it was released. ”

"I tried a lot of ways to order one from my junior year, but they all failed, and no matter what method I used, I was rejected......"

Stefan said helplessly.

It's not easy to sneak a peek at a competitor's technology.

It's like this car now, the first two customers, except for Wu Qian, the other one is a prince of the United Arab Emirates, whether it is Stefan himself or in the family, no one is a friend of the prince, and there is no way to talk about this kind of thing.

Stefan knew that in addition to the two on the market, there was actually one more, and under the name of Mr. Ferdinand, the chairman of the Big Three Group, it was even more unthinkable for him......
