Since Rodriguez is so frank, Zhou Jingming will also tell the table, anyway, the auto show will be officially launched in a few days, and everyone will know at a glance what Tianming Group wants to exhibit.

"Mr. Zhou definitely didn't come to me this time just for the auto show, right?" After about half an hour, Rodriguez took a sip of coffee, looked at Zhou Jingming and asked with a smile.

Zhou Jingming nodded, "It's really not just for the auto show, I want to ask, when does your company plan to carry out the technical handover of the V12 engine with us?"

According to the original agreement between the two parties, Tianming Group exchanged ESP technology and the Bentley brand for the full set of BMW Group's V12 engine technology, but since the agreement was signed, both companies have been busy reorganizing the newly acquired brands, and this matter has been delayed.

Since Zhou Jingming wants to develop a new Rolls-Royce model, the engine as the heart of the car does not dare to be sloppy, the V12 engine is like the Rolls-Royce logo flying goddess, it has long become a kind of its culture, Zhou Jingming will not easily change the engine equipped with Rolls-Royce.

Of course, Zhou Jingming is so eager to obtain V12 engine technology, there is another layer of intention, the millennium formula 1 championship will officially settle in China, just at the door of Tianming Group's Shencheng International Automobile Circuit, Zhou Jingming also wants to take this opportunity to let Tianming team fill the last gap in domestic auto events.

In addition, Zhou Jingming also wants to take this opportunity to officially enter the sports car market!

The V12 engine will be an important part of this. By digesting and absorbing the technology of BMW's V12 engine, Zhou Jingming wants to make Tianming Group's engine R&D and manufacturing technology to a higher level on this basis, and help the F1 Chinese Grand Prix and even sports cars four years later.

"As long as Mr. Zhou's Tianming Group has time, it can carry out the technical handover at any time. Rodriguez replied unequivocally. It's written in black and white, and the BMW Group is not going to say that it doesn't admit it.

"Okay, then after this auto show, I'll get people in touch with your company. ”

"No problem, BMW will fully cooperate, but ......" Rodriguez looked at Zhou Jingming, looking like he wanted to say something.

Zhou Jingming smiled, "Mr. Rodriguez, is there anything else to do? Although I bring it up, the two of us are a partnership, and I will try my best to meet your needs." ”

"I would like to ask, Rolls-Royce's production base in Crewe, Mr. Zhou really doesn't think about selling it to us? The price or something is negotiable. Rodriguez said.

According to the agreement between the two parties, after the end of this year, Bentley Motors will not be able to produce at the production plant in Crewe, and BMW will have to build its own production workshop to carry out the subsequent production of Bentley cars.

Of course, Zhou Jingming understands what BMW has in mind, Crewe can be said to be the most British car production base, Bentley and Rolls-Royce, as the two pearls of the British automobile industry, can continue to carry out assembly and production in Crewe, is an important symbol of "blood", and the BMW Group certainly wants to buy the production base there.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rodriguez, this matter is not negotiable, and I will not sell the production base in Crewe County under any circumstances. Zhou Jingming shook his head and declined with a smile.

Rodriguez didn't have much hope, seeing Zhou Jingming's refusal, he didn't say any more, and after the two sides talked for more than ten minutes, Zhou Jingming got up and prepared to leave, BMW Group is only the first customer he met, and there are still many things waiting for him to deal with.

"Mr. Zhou, I see that this time your company's exhibits include an all-aluminum body, and the all-aluminum body is not a novel technology, how did Mr. Zhou think of taking this technology as the focus of the exhibition?"

Before leaving, Rodriguez asked curiously. He has read all the newspapers in the past few days, and consumers in Europe and the United States seem to be a little disappointed with Tianming Group's exhibition.

"It's not convenient for me to say more about the specifics, anyway, Mr. Rodriguez will have to wait and see. Zhou Jingming smiled and didn't say anything.

The more public opinion looks down on the all-aluminum body on display this time, the easier it is to fight a beautiful counterattack.

After coming out of Rodriguez, Zhou Jingming met with the relevant persons in charge of Volkswagen and Audi cars successively, and originally wanted to talk to Mazda about the joint venture project, but the person in charge of the other party happened to be absent, so Zhou Jingming did not wait, but returned to the hotel.

As we get closer to the start of the Geneva Motor Show, fans and media from all over the world gather here to enjoy the first automotive event of the year.

In the past two days, Zhou Jingming went to the exhibition hall to see the preparations for the Tianming Group Auto Show, and strived that there would be no mistakes in the auto show this time.

On March 18, 1996, the 66th Geneva Motor Show officially kicked off.

Different from the past, Tianming Group also added the popular element of "car model" in this Geneva Motor Show. As an indispensable highlight of the auto show culture, car models have appeared in large and small auto shows in Europe and the United States as early as the fifties and sixties, but they have not competed as much as in the first decade of the 21st century.

With the rise of the domestic auto show, the "car model" has become a major car manufacturers to attract the attention of a big weapon, every auto show, countless people around the car model, flashing lights one after another, can not tell whether these people are to see the car, or to see the car model.

It was only later that domestic measures were introduced to prohibit car models from wearing too revealing clothes, and this momentum was slowly extinguished.

Although Zhou Jingming disdained to attract people's attention by this means, he was forced by the situation, so he could only listen to the opinions of the group, and officially launched the car model to stand on the platform from this auto show.

However, unlike other car manufacturers who often show swimsuits, Tianming Group's car models, uniformly dressed in cheongsams, have become a beautiful scenery in the entire exhibition hall.

At the beginning of the auto show, many media reporters rushed in and took a wild shot at the various show cars and the car models on the side.

As an automobile event at the beginning of the year, major car manufacturers naturally seized the opportunity to show their latest products, and the most popular car before the launch was the Jaguar (Jaguar) XK8, which is also the first newly developed model since Jaguar was acquired by Ford in 1989.

This coupe sports car with V8 and double overhead camshaft engine has already earned enough eyeballs before the start of the auto show, and at this moment it has become the car with the largest number of onlookers in the entire exhibition hall.

The strong jaguar style, the special shape of the headlights, and the crash bar integrated with the body, Rao is in the vision of Zhou Jingming, and I have to admire the designer's unique design concept.

"Xiao Zhou, the all-aluminum body we built with a lot of money this time doesn't seem to have brought us the effect we originally envisioned. ”

In the lounge of Tianming Group, Xu Weidong said with some concern. He happened to be developing business in Europe this time, so he went to Geneva to meet Zhou Jingming.

"The auto show has just begun, what are you anxious about? Besides, I haven't shown up yet. Zhou Jingming smiled, then sorted out his clothes, and walked straight towards the exhibition area of Tianming Group.
