After receiving a hero-like courtesy at the headquarters of the Williams team, Li Fanyu had to delay for another day. He is currently the largest shareholder of the team, and the following team managers and people who hold employee shares still need to be wooed.

After completing the post-race analysis of the two engines used in the British F1 Grand Prix the next day, Cheng Ke, who had been wasting for more than ten days, also reluctantly rushed to Italy with Alonso and Lou Lu and others.

Since then, Li Fanyu has finally been able to withdraw with peace of mind and devote his energy to the preparation of the dark horse brand. With Wang Rui, an engineer and a group of people drawn from Zhengxin's British branch, he came to the dark horse factory near London.

The Black Horse factory was converted from a temporary assembly plant of Rolls-Royce, and the building is an arsenal built during World War II. At the time, the factory was dedicated to assembling Spitfires for the Royal Air Force. It was later taken over by Rolls-Royce and turned into an assembly plant for Rolls-Royce cars.

The reason why I chose this place is mainly because Li Fanyu thinks this place is so cool!

Around the factory, you can still see the craters left by the Luftwaffe bombing. On both sides of the factory, there are still a few Spitfires that were hastily assembled but destroyed in the bombing.

Although the hardware in the factory was extremely rudimentary due to Rolls-Royce's previous manual work methods, before the start of the F1 British branch, he had already had the interior redecorated and urgently transferred a batch of micro-series machine tools for precision machining from the Chinese department.

At this time, the factory gate has been renovated by Li Kai. The neat press road has been repaired for the sake of beauty, and the rusty fires and seafires have been renovated into oversized sculptural ornaments, which are neatly displayed on both sides of the factory.

In the interior of the factory with the huge black Prancing Horse logo, looking at the pure white soundproof decoration, the precision parts processing area, and then seeing the rows of manual workstations, Li Fanyu was quite satisfied.

Li Kai, who was in charge of the preparation of the new factory, saw him practicing and nodded, and immediately stepped forward to invite him: "Hehe, boss, this job is not bad, right?"

Li Fanyu nodded, "Pretty good!"

Li Kai rubbed his hands, "Then look at it, I'm going to do things with Angelella next month, can you give me a honeymoon vacation or something?"

Li Fanyu glanced at him meaningfully, "Big brother, marriage is the grave of love, are you sure you want to get married?"

Li Kai nodded seriously.

Seeing that this thing didn't seem like a joke, Li Fanyu could only beat the mandarin duck. Now the group has fully opened the layout of the European market, as a bridgehead to enter Europe, and the British Zhengxin is about to usher in the biggest place after its establishment. In this case, it is definitely impossible to have a honeymoon on a honeymoon, and a three-day trip to London is okay.

Wang Rui on the side was not as excited as Li Fanyu when he arrived, as the person in charge of XCAR, he had been in Zhengxin's industrial base for a long time, and he was really not used to a factory of this size.

Not only that, but he deeply did not understand Li Fanyu's decision to create a new supercar brand when Zhengxin clearly already had XCAR, a department specializing in the production of high-performance sports cars.

"Brother Fan, XCAR hasn't produced a new car for a long time, if you want to do a supercar, how good is it to just hand over this job to us?

Obviously, Wang Rui's question reflects the voices of many Zhengxin engineers present.

In terms of supercar performance, XCAR has now topped the entire sports car industry, not to mention the pure Jun that has broken the Guinness World Record for car prices, not to mention the Le Mans circuit shining on the Le Mans R, or now it has been regarded by fans as a god-class street car longbow, XCAR's product array has covered all levels of the sports car segment.

And, according to Li Fanyu's instructions, this dark horse brand is mainly based on F1 technology, and it is such a brand that has been changed for civilian use.

One thing to know is that at present, the FeType engine is also undertaken by the XCAR part. So in his opinion, if Li Fan foolishly builds a new brand, it will be a waste of money and labor.

Everyone is in line with Wang Rui, Li Fan smiled foolishly.

How could he not have taken these things into account?

However, in his opinion, the dark horse, that is, the Ferrari before the historical mileage has not changed, is completely necessary to exist at this time and in this place.

Reason?

At present, Zhengxin has greatly promoted the development of the world's automotive industry with highly advanced electric solutions. As far as Zhengxin's products are concerned, except for Hongguang for the lowest-end market, most of the models have been launched in electric versions for the market.

Take Audi as an example, the current sales ratio of the A4L and A6L, electric versions of urban commuter cars, has risen from less than 5% to 17% at present.

With the continuous expansion and improvement of Zhengxin's charging base station network in China, and with the continuous efforts of Zhengxin Energy and Tangdian Group throughout the country, the coverage and utilization rate of stratospheric power stations is getting higher and higher, and the era of electric vehicles is coming.

The era of the internal combustion engine, which has been developed for decades, is coming to an end.

According to a statistic made by Zhengxin Group, in the next five years, the Chinese auto market is expected to bring the new increment of electric vehicles on par with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. In the next 10 to 15 years, the use rate of internal combustion engine vehicles will be reduced back to 30 percent, which is called a complete underdog.

All of this heralds the end of the era of the internal combustion engine.

At this time of turbulence and the change of dynasties, Li Fanyu wanted to draw a perfect end to the internal combustion engine car, showing the era of gasoline and machinery...... The last splendor!

So at this time, in the face of Wang Rui's question, he gave his own answer: "XCAR is my dream." The purpose of creating this brand in the first place was to make a difference in the automotive industry because of the existence of this brand. If you take a closer look at the development of XCAR, you will find that every model is a breakthrough and an innovation. But the dark horse is different, what we want to do is not to innovate, but to take the existing internal combustion engine technology to the extreme, and keep this style all the time. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Rui and the others, and said solemnly: "What I want is when many, many years later, there will be no internal combustion engine cars on the roads of this world." When people think of pure internal combustion engine cars, the first thing that comes to mind is not Mercedes-Benz, not the Europa League, not Swiss-French, but ...... Believe in the dark horse!

That's why I started this brand. ”
