A few days later, Stuttgart, Porsche's headquarters. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info countless reporters in the financial sector were called, and the spotlight flashed.

Hatsune Intelligent invested 3.5 billion euros, intervened in the Porsche-Volkswagen project, and acquired a 45% stake in Porsche Motors!

An additional 500 million euros of borrowing funds will be invested in Porsche's smart electric vehicle development program!

The weight of this bombshell is far more sensational than Li Shufu taking Volvo a few months ago.

Gu Mojie's contribution is more than twice that of Li Shufu. The brand he is involved in is much higher than Volvo's, and it is the pride of Germany.

Is that still the legendary Porsche that rejects foreign investment and maintains the glory of Germany?

Or is the potential of Hatsune Intelligence's AI technology really attractive to this extent?

Outsiders don't know, they can only guess excitedly.

……

"Mr. Gu, happy cooperation. I have to admit that your negotiation team is really good. ”

At the signing ceremony of the framework agreement, the gray-haired Wolfgang. Porsche, after writing his name, shook hands with Gu Mojie. A female secretary next to her brought champagne and poured a glass for each of them.

"We hope that the cooperation with Hatsune Intelligent will bring Porsche's product technology to the next level in the next two years."

Gu Mojie and Wolfgang, speaking the same language, clinked glasses and dried the wine. This action, captured by dozens of reporters, will soon make headlines on major portals.

After drinking, Gu Mojie did not forget to paint a cake for Wolfgang:

"Yes, that day will come soon. We at Hatsune Intelligence have real experience in the R&D and production of intelligent hardware, which is different from Google's pure air-to-air model. Even if we don't make the 'ultimate completeness', the phased results achieved in each step will make the Porsche brand shine.

Perhaps, if we give us half a year, by the new model at the beginning of 2011, we will be able to add the function points of 'automatic lane centerline driving' to the Porsche sports car. The stability improvement of cruise control will also be very noticeable. In 2012, we will be able to add 'semi-autonomous pathfinding in manned mode'. When the time comes, Porsche will definitely be able to make a name for itself in the high-end sports car brand. ”

"Hopefully, I'd like to see Porsche snatch some of the Ferrari and Maserati Italian cars in two years' time. As for Rambo...... That's also in my company's name, so it's not necessary for the time being. Wolfgang said a few words of pointing, not forgetting to show how big his car empire really was.

Under the name of Volkswagen, there are already ten brands.

The matter of capital injection and equity exchange will have to be busy for two months to be completed - don't be too slow, you must know that Li Shufu signed to buy Volvo in October 2009, and it was already March 2010 when all the rights were officially handed over and Geely Automobile was preparing for the Volvo Industrial Park in Mingzhou. In this kind of large-scale M&A case, half a year is short from signing the contract to the beginning of the factory relocation.

Giving Hatsune Intelligence two months is only to completely clear up the equity issue, that is, the time point of the summer vacation of 2010.

The establishment of a Porsche factory in China will start in at least 2011. It is necessary for such a large-scale industrial base to be built and put into operation in two years. In other words, it will not be until January 2013 at the earliest that the first Porsche produced in China will roll off the assembly line.

The question of whether to allow factories to be set up in China has not yet been agreed between the two sides.

The German side is extremely reluctant to reduce Porsche's compulsion.

Many luxury car customers, as soon as they hear that the production workers used in a certain luxury car are Chinese, they directly do not want it.

Moreover, this mentality is not unique to the white plutocrat, but also to the rich in China itself. Even the Chinese rich look down on the cars that have been handled by Chinese workers, and feel that they can't afford to buy them back.

It's not a matter of how skilled Chinese workers are, it's not about technology at all.

Hatsune's final compromise on this issue is this:

"Even if we set up a Porsche factory in China, we will guarantee that we will not hire a single front-line Chinese worker. If skilled workers are to be used, 100% of them will be brought in from Germany with high salaries.

However, Hatsune Smart does not rule out the recruitment of Chinese engineers in Chinese factories one by one, as well as the use of industrial robots with a higher degree of automation to achieve unmanned operations. ”

This plan was left by the German side for investigation for the time being. The Germans' demand was to make sure that if they had to do so, they had to do a good job of propaganda and that the Chinese factories were high-tech, fully automated factories and that there was not a single Chinese industrial worker.

If this is not possible, the German side would rather stop setting up factories abroad.

……

After the signing was completed, Gu Mojie planned to leave Stuttgart and go to Munich, where he had several other resources that he needed to integrate for the Porsche program.

However, Wolfgang kept him and invited him to a final luncheon and a mysterious gift for him.

German food, that's really nothing to eat. The unpalatable degree can be called the most of all countries in Gu Mojie's trip to Europe.

It's either cabbage roll fried ****, or slippery egg tartare steak.

However, Gu Mojie is still very interested in the mysterious gift.

Because it was a personal gift, Lei Jun, Gu Yongjiang, and Zhang Tuohai did not appear. Gu Mojie only took a few of his own women and followed Wolfgang to Porsche's secret experimental base.

It was a secluded park in the forest on the western outskirts of Stuttgart, with only a few laboratories, two workshops, plus a test track, and even guards with guns all around.

Fei Liluo, who was curious, snuggled up to Gu Mojie's side and asked narrowly: "How does it look like the secret base of the Führer in a zombie movie." ”

Gu Mojie smiled and was noncommittal: "What are you talking nonsense?" ”

The car stopped in front of a sci-fi-looking laboratory building. It was here that Wolfgang and Gu Mojie got off the bus, then passed a guard and a barbed wire wall to the door of an elevator hall that required a combination lock.

Wolfgang swiped his fingerprints and retina, and the elevator doors opened. There is a lot of space inside, like a freight elevator instead of a passenger elevator, and it feels like a container can be plugged in.

After everyone came in, the elevator went down for more than ten seconds, and the speed was not fast, and it felt as deep as three floors underground. When the elevator doors reopened, everyone's eyes were bright, and the light was very soft, and there was no glare at all.

The lighting in this basement is all provided by LED light guide panel lights - that is, it is the same material as the backlight screen used in the "Chuxin 2" mobile phone.

In the middle of the room, there is a metal table surrounded by many robotic arms, which is illuminated by the LED panel lights of the whole room. On the metal platform, a matte silver concept car is parked.

Wolfgang pointed to the car and said: "The 918Spyder concept prototype in development, currently codenamed 918X. The car was almost ready to complete its full testing. Now that you Hatsune Smart are involved, let's try it out on this hybrid, and I hope that within this year, we will see that this car has the test intelligence of automatically keeping tracks, automatically uploading cloud maps, and automatic pathfinding - can it be done? ”

Gu Mojie forcibly retracted his mind and did not show an expression of eagerness.

"It's just a car, it's fine. However, this kind of data can only be realized in the section where the car is always open, after all, there is not enough big data yet. ”

Wolfgang is already quite satisfied with this answer: "Okay, if I can, I will promise you that at the beginning of next year, I will use the additional 500 million euros you invested to set up a factory in China." ”

"Okay." Gu Mojie was very refreshing.

Wolfgang didn't talk much nonsense either: "This car will be given to you." Let your people, set the software expansion interface to be reserved, we will adjust the hardware here, and give you air freight to China in two months. The follow-up software testing can be done while you are using it in China. ”

"How much will this model cost when it comes to sale? You haven't gotten into the technical details of the project yet. ”

"You ask the engineer for technical details, this car was originally scheduled to be launched on New Year's Day in 2013, and the price is based on the high and low configuration, and it is imported to China for about 200~3 million euros."

Gu Mojie did the math, that is 1500~20 million yuan.

And it's also a mass production machine.

The car I have in hand is a conceptual prototype, and I don't know how much higher it is.

As for the money...... What is it worth, and it is still money?

"Then I won't thank you, happy cooperation." Gu Mojie politely humbled a sentence.

Wolfgang patted Gu Mojie on the shoulder and shouted to the side. A Porsche systems engineer came over and greeted his boss.

"If you want to test the car, or understand the technical specifications, just tell Balmonk, who is the best system test engineer we have here." Leaving this sentence aside, Wolfgang flashed.

"Hello, Mr. Balmunck." Gu Mojie smiled warmly and stretched out his hand to the 40-year-old German tech nerd.

Balmonk shook hands flatteringly.

"Can you tell me about the car? You should be fluent in English, right? I have just joined the company, and I am not very familiar with the company's R&D projects. ”

"Yes, sir. Let's get in the car and introduce it. Balmonk said, walked to the console, lowered the metal platform carrying the car, and then walked into the driver's seat himself, letting Gu Mojie sit in the co-pilot.

This car only has two seats, which is a fly in the ointment, Gu Mojie's sisters have no seats, so they can only walk back into the elevator. Balmond then drove the 918x lightly into the elevator and went up.

"What a strong start!" The moment the car started, Gu Mojie felt a feeling of pushing back like an explosive tension. It is not uncommon for him to have ever made a sports car in his life, and he has never seen such a fast push back.

Even if you take a jet, it's nothing more than that in terms of instantaneous explosiveness.

Hearing Gu Mojie's surprise, Balmund proudly boasted: "It's normal for an electric car to start quickly in an instant." The 100 kilometers acceleration announced by this car is 2 seconds 6 seconds, but this prototype car is the best in all configurations, and even tried to achieve 2 seconds 3 seconds per 100 kilometers. You won't find a car on earth with more instantaneous acceleration. ”

Gu Mojie bowed slightly: "It turned out to be an electric car, no wonder the starting noise is so low...... No, it's still a little louder than a pure electric car, and there is engine vibration, it should be a hybrid, right? ”

"It's a hybrid. 520 hp V8 engine, plus 240 hp electric motor. Full power at a top speed of 350 km/h. The V8 engine can also be overloaded by 20% in the ultimate state. ”

With a top speed of 350 km/h, it is not worth boasting about at all.

In 2006, Lamborghini, which was also owned by Volkswagen, ran to 420, and by 09, the facelift exceeded 450. And Ferrari, a subsidiary of the Italian Fiat Group, has long had a 380 km+ road sports car, and it has also exceeded 400 in recent years.

However, the Porsche 918's acceleration of 100 kilometers per hour in 2.6 seconds is absolutely shocking.

Because even a Lamborghini takes more than 4 seconds, and Ferrari's top-of-the-line models don't break 4 seconds (2010 technology, Ferrari's La-Ferrari didn't break 3 seconds until 2014.) ）

This is due to the "instantaneous start" nature of the motor. Compared with the gasoline engine, the electric motor of the car is not easy to run at a high top speed, but it also saves the trouble of "increasing the speed step by step" (after the gasoline engine is started, it must slowly increase the gear at 1000 rpm, 2000 rpm, 3000 rpm, while the electric motor can turn to 6000 rpm in an instant. ）

This car is a hybrid car, and compared with other pure gasoline locomotives, it is undoubtedly a bully in terms of acceleration indicators. To compare, we also have to wait for other top supercars to come up with hybrid or pure electric cars.

"I really didn't expect that other people's motivation for making electric or hybrid vehicles is to save fuel or reduce polluting emissions in downtown areas. You Porsche are good, electric cars are purely for the sake of acceleration. It's really a matter of taking what you need. ”

Balmonk did not comment on Gu Mojie's emotion, nor did he feel anything shameful.

He smiled proudly: "That's a must, whoever buys a luxury car still depends on whether it is fuel-efficient or not." Electric and hybrid are the trend of the times, and we can't do it if we don't do it. But having done so, it's about finding differentiated value for our customers. From the time of the design project, we rushed to analyze here: in addition to fuel saving, in addition to emission reduction, what are the technical advantages of electric vehicles? Those advantages that other electric vehicles don't care about, we just want to give full play to. ”

Balmunch's words made Gu Mojie nod frequently: "To provide differentiated value, the idea is right." ”

"That's not all, if you want, you can continue to see how we can take advantage of the hybrid advantage in this car."

"Okay, I'll see."

The two chatted that the car had already driven to the ground floor and entered the test site.

"Then sit tight and push your glasses a little tighter." Balmond said, adjusting his racing mirrors, then drove the car to the start of the test track, stopped first, and then slammed the accelerator to the end.

The feeling of the explosion pushing back that he had just been familiar with twice struck again, which recalled that Mo Jie was much more mentally prepared, and it was impossible to be frightened.

After adapting to it for seven or eight seconds, seeing that the car had already raced to more than 230 kilometers, Gu Mojie smiled puzzledly: "To this extent? Isn't that the same as before? Don't tell me you're trying to test your top speed, I'm not interested in the top speed of this drizzle of 350 km/h. ”

"Of course it's not this, look at it!" Balmonk said, slamming his brakes.

Rao is Gu Mojie tied the seat belt very tightly, and also felt a fierce force slammed into the flesh of his chest and abdomen. In an instant, his glasses flew out and bounced on the windshield. The speed of the car dropped from 230 km/h to less than 30 km/h in an instant.

"Poof—what is this?"

Before Gu Mojie could finish asking these words, Balmonk let go of the brakes and slammed the accelerator again.

"Shhhh

A thought popped into Gu Mojie's mind - this is not scientific! (To be continued.) )
