Looking at a steel plate with a thickness of about 1.0mm on Nikolayevich's experimental table, Zhang Lan picked it up and looked over and over again, and really couldn't see the difference between this steel plate and ordinary steel plates.

Nikolayevich ignored Zhang Lan, who was holding the precious steel plate and looked at it curiously, and excitedly showed Alice a copy of the information. It is estimated that it is probably some data of this steel plate, Zhang Lan poked his head and looked at the dense writing on it, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it at all - it was all in Russian.

"What did you say above?" Zhang Lan asked curiously, "What is the performance?" ”

"The above data is very good, it completely hits our original design requirements," Alice said, picking up the steel plate and breaking it with her hands, "Nodding, at least the yield strength is enough, I can't try anything else for a while, but according to my analysis, at least there is no problem in corrosion resistance." ”

"That's good," Seeing that Alice had no opinion, Zhang Lan nodded, the most important steel plate for the body is these two indicators, if the yield strength and corrosion resistance cannot be reached, no matter how good the other data is, it is useless.

"So how long will it take to develop the production process?" Xiao Chenxi asked Nikolayevich that with the formula of this steel, now Xiao Chenxi is more concerned about the next production process.

"Based on the current progress," said Nikolayevich with confidence, "I estimate that in two months at the latest, a complete production process for high-grade steel plates for cars will be developed." ”

"Two months?" Zhang Lan pondered for a while, "Give you three months, don't worry, although the company needs this technology very much now, the time is not very tight, be careful, don't have any problems." ”

"Okay," Nikolayevich nodded: since the boss is not in a hurry, why should he be in a hurry? The more time you have, the better it will be for you.

The solution of this problem of steel for car body. finally solved a piece of Zhang Lan's heart disease, so what should you do next? Do you produce your own components or do you license this technology to a domestic steel mill for a fee, so that they can make extra money while providing them with suitable steel for the body of the car?

As for transferring technology to others, Zhang Lan never thought about it: this is a baby bump to make money. Fools would think of selling the technology - and even if it did, it would be a few years before they could figure it out!

Day! I want to be evil, huh? Zhang Lan pondered, this doesn't seem to be something that a child bathed in the warm sunshine of a socialist country should think.

Shiryakov did not disappoint himself, and by the beginning of September, seven cars. They are two "Future Vehicles", two all-terrain vehicles, two nephews, two Alice-Ducati Diana MARK-5S, and seven of the three new vehicles developed by the company (including two nephews), a total of 16 vehicles used in the exhibition are all in place.

Sixteen cars, except for Alice-Ducati Diana MARK-5S, which is re-improved on the basis of Alice-Ducati Diana MARK-5, the rest of the exhibited vehicles are all dead on the machine tool using CNC machine tools to process one part by one, the degree of hard work can be imagined.

By the time the sixteen cars were fully made, Shiryakov was exhausted. If you peel off the skin on your body, you can directly pull it off and use it as a teaching framework.

Seeing this guy so desperately tired into this dignity, Zhang Lan also felt embarrassed, and directly asked Alice to give this guy a week of long vacation, take a good rest, and then go to the V-twin engine research and development team as the team leader, Shiryakov was not polite, this guy didn't say a word, just went home and fell asleep.

Later, according to Shiryakov's wife, she complained to Xiao Chenxi that Shiryakov collapsed on the bed after returning home. It took more than 20 hours of sleep to wake up!

Zhang Lan felt a little guilty, as if she had gone too far to summon people, Xiao Chenxi solved this problem very simply, very simply. The entire research team was given a large bonus each, and as the leader of the group, Shiryakov received the largest of them, which made everyone envious. Shiryakov's wife did not complain about the company at all except for feeling sorry for her husband's desperate efforts, but her face smiled.

Friday-Sunday, 17-19 September 1992. The American International Motorcycle Show will be held at the Indianapolis Convention and Exhibition Center in the United States! The time left for the company was very tight, and Alice had to use air freight to transport the fifteen cars to the United States, which was quite a considerable expense just for shipping!

On September 16th, Zhang Lan had returned to this land in the United States with Xiao Chenxi and Alice again, as for Zhang Zongjun, although he also wanted to come and see, someone always had to watch the company's big mess there, so he had to watch the three little guys get on the plane depressed.

Indiana is not close to New York, but Arnold's movement is still not small, and the pick-up team at the airport once again shocked the Yankees, and five Mercedes-Benz cars in front and back for protection let the old beauties know what it means to be rich.

Compared with the first time Zhang Lan arrived in the United States, the pick-up team did not change at all except for the Rolls-Royce Silver Charm replaced with an extended Cadillac.

The hotel has already been arranged by Arnold and others, Zhang Lan is full of expectations for this exhibition, I don't know how many motorcycle companies can be seen at the auto show this time?

By the time Zhang Lan and his entourage waited for the exhibition venue the next day, the booth of Alice Group had already been arranged.

Alice Group's booth is quite good, located in the first booth on the left after entering the main entrance of the convention and exhibition center, with an area of 15 meters X 15 meters, a total of 225 square meters, which can be regarded as a super large booth. Of course, with such a large booth, the location is not quite wrong, so the price of the natural booth fee is also quite expensive, and it is estimated that the price of this booth fee is only the price of the booth fee, which will be frightened to retreat after being heard by any motorcycle manufacturer in China.

Originally, Alice wanted to take down the booth facing the entrance of the convention and exhibition center, but unfortunately it was a little late and was taken away by Honda motorcycles, so Alice was depressed for a long time.

Fortunately, the best three booths, that is, the three booths directly opposite the entrance of the convention and exhibition center and on both sides of it, have one of themselves, which can be regarded as a small comfort.

Although the company's booth has been arranged, the vehicles used in the exhibition have not yet arrived, and they are still in the airport, and it is estimated that it will take until noon to arrive.

Zhang Lan was bored and wandered around the convention and exhibition center to see how the booth layout of other motorcycle manufacturers was progressing, and he found that the booth on the right side of the door was actually a Harley-Davidson motorcycle booth, with the same area as his own. Looking at their posture, it is obvious that they want to maintain their status as the boss of American motorcycles at their own doorstep.

Very good, the three best booths are three motorcycle companies from the United States, Japan and China, two veteran motorcycle companies, and a little brother who participated in the exhibition for the first year.

In addition to these three, Zhang Lan looked at the venue one by one, the world's well-known motorcycle manufacturers have arrived, in addition to their own companies, Harley-Davidson and Honda, BMW, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati, Piaggio, Apulia, KTM, almost all the famous companies they know have arrived, and there are some manufacturers that they can't name and some exhibitors who seem to be modified cars, and some motorcycle parts suppliers, Buyers and dealers' booths, in general, this is a carnival of the world's motorcycle related supporting enterprises!

Of course, it is an imminent, bloodless war.

The manufacturers who have arranged the booth have covered the products they brought to the exhibition with motorcycle coverings early, lest their products be exposed in advance, and the products of Alice Group are of course no exception, in fact, among the seven cars that came to the United States to participate in the war, four of the cars belong to the first model. In order to do a good job in this exhibition, Arnold and others have already arranged a number of motorcycle experience activities to interact with riders.

Zhang Lan was idle and wandering around the exhibition venue, and naturally there were many staff members of other motorcycle companies who looked at each other and said that they were visiting, but there was no meaning to explore the details of the object, especially before the booth of Alice Group, there were already staff from other manufacturers who came back and forth.

Some were curious about this company that they had never seen before, or even heard of, and took the initiative to come up and talk; Some people are very dismissive of this, thinking that a company they have never seen before is not worthy of their attention, and just take a cursory look and walk away.
