Volume 1 Chapter 154: The Shanghai Competition
The research and development of accessories is a familiar road, and those workshops that DMAX has cooperated with in the past can do it, which is nothing more than changing the shape and installation position.
It's just that Pei Jiahao, who has been hiding behind, was found by his family after the stunt team of Hong Yeshan's junior brother emerged.
At this time, Xing Yu knew that Pei Jiahao's family was also extraordinary, it was a very famous car stunt show company in China, and it was his old man who asked the two brothers to draw lots to decide, one to learn modification, and the other to practice technology.
Seeing that his brother has been in front of the stage, enjoying the pursuit, handsome and chic, he can only do the hard work of modifying sheet metal behind the scenes.
During a performance, Pei Jiahao did not do a good job of vehicle maintenance in time because of exhaustion, causing vehicle failure and causing an accident. His brother gave him a hard lesson.
Looking at the appearance of those stunt cars, they may still be the design of the original manufacturer, but there are no holes in the interior.
There are also a lot of things to be tested before the performance every day. As a simple example, some brand 4S stores, when taking customers for a test drive, have a classic action, after accelerating to 100, release the handlebars with both hands, brake sharply, and directly stomp the car to death.
In fact, many vehicles can do this now, you only need to check the brakes, tire pressure, tire wear, dynamic balance, wheel alignment, ...... before each performance It is also necessary to ensure that the test section is smooth and dry...... A small pebble or a small puddle of water will affect the effect.
The main reason for the accident was because there were streamers thrown by crazy spectators in the venue, but Pei Jiahao's brother put all the blame on him.
The old hatred broke out together, Pei Jiahao left home in anger and hid in the corner of Qincheng to start a sheet metal business.
The last time the stunt team performed, Pei Jiahao showed an extraordinary talent for car stunts, and he didn't know how to be fooled by Hong Jianjun, so he resigned from Xing Yu and threw himself into the arms of car stunt performances.
Many years later, when Xing Yu saw Pei Jiahao again, he was already the owner of a stunt performance factory, recalling this experience, Pei Jiahao said with emotion: "At that time, I wanted to surpass my brother's achievements in stunt performances and show my father ...... performance."
An excellent sheet metal worker left, and no one re-recruited could meet Xing Yu's technical requirements, don't look at these are high-tech talents who have learned mechatronics, but there is too little experience, and they can only complete the task roughly, so that they can innovate and strive for excellence, which is too difficult.
It took Xing Yu more than a month to mold a chassis guard plate, not to mention the design of the front and rear bars...... The slow progress disappointed Wei Xiong, and he had to invite an old blacksmith from his village, and the welding and docking problems that had been troubled were solved......
This old blacksmith, an old technician from a state-owned factory, scolded the current skilled workers every time he finished his work and smoked and drank: "I have learned a hammer, and I can control it by computer, and the things I make under computer control are not as ......fine as my own manual polishing."
There is good news from the frontier over there, there are a few verbal appointments for Rattaniva, and the appointment is missed, and it was originally planned that it would be good to leave three or four cars for Xing Yu, but now there are more than ten left.
In addition, there is another news, there are financial resources, more than 100 units have been booked, and there is still half a month to arrive in Hong Kong, if Xing Yu wants, he can help Xing Yu book a few, but the vehicle can arrive first, and the invoice will have to wait for more than 20 days.
A car needs to be pressed for nearly 40 days, which is not good news for car dealers, especially now that they need a loan to run, pressing the funds is equivalent to paying interest in vain, plus the pre-sale cycle, at least two months will have to pay interest in vain.
You can look at the current pre-sale price on the Internet, and the rate of return is still very high.
I remembered a sentence I heard before: I was born poor, and if I toss right, I will become rich, and if I don't toss right, I will still be poor. If you don't toss, you will be poor for the rest of your life.
With the arrival of five Lada, all of them were sold, and Xing Yu decided to give it a go.
After calculating a detailed account for Wei Xiao, she also agreed with Xing Yu's opinion.
How much is one Lada? Ten Lada may only be worth the price of a Range Rover, and how much profit is a Range Rover? As soon as the account was calculated, Wei Xiao's two eyes lit up.
In addition, three of the five cars sold have become Xing Yu's newly modified test products, and some customers who have made an appointment for the vehicle in other places have received news that there are not a few people who book modified accessories here in Xing Yu.
This concept of prepayment and membership fee is the same, and it is a form of quick withdrawal of funds and liberation of one's financial pressure.
Seeing that the car has not yet arrived and the product has not yet been produced, Xing Yu has received a lot of deposits, Wei Xiao is a little worried, in case something causes disgust, these customers who originally believed in the company very much will be dissatisfied.
Xing Yu didn't care about this, when he went to work before, he encountered too many problems.
At the beginning, there was no such thing as advancing money to pick up the car, and they were all waiting for the end of the audit and the capital to release the loan.
The loan procedures of the employer are complicated, and the loan cannot be disbursed on holidays, the loan cannot be disbursed on the account date, and the loan cannot be disbursed due to the failure of the internal system......
There was even a period of time when a company, for its own savings task, deliberately delayed two or three days after remittance before it was transferred to the other party's name......
At that time, all companies did not advance their own funds, and the car dealers could not deliver the vehicles if the payment was not paid, and both sellers and buyers would be anxious.
Here, we can only rely on the art of language to persuade both sides, and the procrastination trick is fully displayed.
Xing Yu believes that he has enough experience to deal with these situations. So I haven't taken Wei Xiao's worries to heart.
was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the new car, Wu Shimo's old watch suddenly came to summon Feng Yongpeng and others to go to Shanghai to participate in the national venue cross-country competition.
Rallycross is also known as crossover rally, and Rallycross is in English. In Europe and the United States, the crossover car event of the field rally has sprung up in many competitions and has become a mess. This form of racing breaks the tradition of previous automobile races, as the name suggests, it is a trendy event created by the mixing of track racing and rally racing - multiple rally cars start together, drifting, overtaking, and crashing in a circular closed track composed of asphalt, gravel, flying and other road conditions... Sand and gravel mixed with asphalt, group hair mixed and collided, two events with hundreds of years of accumulation came together, and their advantages have been released to the greatest extent.
Let's not talk about the strength of the organizer and social influence. The rules of the competition alone are very different from the cross-country track races that Xing Yu has participated in.
Multiple cars single lane at the same time, no seesaw and other obstacles, there is a big puddle to die, the car can also appear under the conditions allowed by the rules many times to occupy, grab the position, etc., each car has been very strict safety modification, can be said to be for the benefit of "killing" a bloody road.
The course is set up with many short bends, and all drivers will do their best to overtake their opponents in order to challenge for the position.
The design of the venue is also very interesting, much like a gladiatorial arena, the audience can see every corner, all the leaps, collisions, overtaking and even rolling, the audience can have a full view, such a visual impact is not available in track races and rallys.
The most important thing is that there are points for this race, and in addition to the rewards for each stage, the drivers with the highest total points at the end of the year will also receive other rewards.
People who have seen related news before have long wanted to experience it. Now that someone is sponsoring it, it's really sleepy and touching a pillow.
As for Lao Yao's thoughts, Xing Yu also understood that he had already moved the idea of organizing his own team when he saw the various business opportunities between Xing Yu and Shi Hui after the return of the Ring Tower and the Great Off-Road.
If you have a team, if you can still achieve a certain ranking, it is very helpful for your company to show its strength.
This is also known as the celebrity effect, and the effect of attracting attention, reinforcing things, and expanding influence achieved by the appearance of celebrities, or the psychological phenomenon of people imitating celebrities is collectively referred to as the celebrity effect. The celebrity effect has had a profound impact on all aspects of life, such as celebrity endorsement advertisements can stimulate consumption, celebrities attending charity events can drive social care for the weak, and so on.
To put it simply, the celebrity effect is equivalent to a brand effect, which can drive the crowd.
In real life, there are many people who use "personal names" and "celebrity effects" to make money, and they are becoming more and more intense. With the repeated reports of celebrities being squatted, those as far as Zhuge Liang and those as close as Jet Li and Yao Ming have not escaped the catastrophe of becoming trademarks. Not only are the artworks created by celebrities worth collecting, but the items used by celebrities are not to be taken lightly. The investment and collection of art also have a celebrity effect.
Lao Yao has been engaged in large-scale project investment, and in some key projects, he has a certain social influence, so he will have more right to speak.
In fact, many people can see that Lao Yao organized this competition because the drunkard did not mean to drink.
But who cares? If you organize a competition, we will play with you in our own racing cars, see the gap between the top domestic masters and ourselves, and maybe stand out and be favored by that large team and become a professional driver. As for the rest, that's not our concern.
Wei Xiao, who received calls urging cars and accessories every day, once again stopped Xing Yu's plan to follow him to the game.
"There are so many things in the company, and you don't have to deal with them well, and you want to play again? I get annoyed when I answer the phone every day, are you still in the mood to play?"
"Those calls, didn't they all end up on my mobile phone? Now the inland port policy is a bit new, the delay will not be too long, the processing plant is already working overtime, the car has not yet arrived, what is the urgency of modification?"
"Besides, this race is not a long-distance rally, I will not be able to get out of touch for more than ten minutes from preparation to finishing, and I will not lose contact. ”
"Also, the game is in Shanghai, you follow us to see the Huangpu River, the Oriental Pearl Tower, buy something, go shopping, just leisure, how about it? Don't you like lively places? Isn't Shanghai lively enough?"
Wei Xiao, who was worried, was fascinated by Xing Yusan and a few words about this competition, going to Shanghai, not all of them are competitions, he doesn't like racing, and it's not bad to go to Shanghai.
"Then I'm going to take Ma Duo with me. Wei Xiao snapped his fingers and thought for a while and said.
"You still take her with you?" Fei Long arranged it early, and when the time comes, we will compete, and you can just hang out......"
After solving the backyard problem, Xing Yu devoted himself to the repair and maintenance of the racing car.
DMAX is not going to participate in this kind of competition, and it was first built to adapt to long-distance rallying. Short tracks, acceleration, agility are not enough.
Feng Yongpeng's car is specially designed for this kind of competition, but the organizing committee has regulations that a car can only be driven by one racer, unless there are also female drivers who sign up for the Women's Cup.
Fortunately, there is also a UTV class in this competition, the Bombardier that has been parked for a long time and has not been sold, slightly modified, removing the big fuel tank, spare tire or something, is strong enough to compete with other cars......
