Chapter 212 At the same time ceramics, why is the difference so big?
Zhang Lan, who was hiding in the corner and watching the excitement, looked over, and was shocked to find that it was a lewd little man with a mucus mustache, anyone who could tell that this guy was a standard little Japan as long as he looked at it, and only Little Japan could grow into this kind of short man with radish legs, not to mention the standard muggy mustache under the nose.
This gentleman from the Asahi Shimbun, "Since Zhang Lan doesn't have a good impression of the Japanese, then Alice naturally won't have a good impression either; People that the boss doesn't like, the boss's assistant naturally knows how to deal with it, "Violating the rules?" You're talking about violating that rule? As far as I know, it seems that there is no FIA rule that prohibits the use of more efficient and advanced braking systems, right? Speaking of this, Jill seemed to have a threat in his tone, "As for the security risks, is this gentleman doubting the strength of our Alice Group?" ”
All the reporters who knew a little bit about the Alice Group were gloating and waiting to see the unlucky guy's fun: touch the moldy head of the Alice Group? Japan, we don't dare, are you Japanese so strong? Well, I wonder if you're going to be thrown into the Atlantic tonight to feed the sharks?
Seeing this radish leg sweating profusely and retreating, all the old men let out a knowing low laugh, wishing this guy good luck tonight! Once again, I hope the sharks of the Atlantic have been kind enough to give this guy a lot of kindness tonight! Amen!
The launch was back on the right track once again.
"Excuse me, has your company's new brake system passed the quality and safety certification? Will it be sold in the market in the future? One of the reporters who was called asked asked his own question, "If it can be sold, how much will it cost?" ”
"Sir, you're not a question, it's already three," Jill smiled gracefully and nodded slightly, "but I'm still willing to answer your question." Our products have passed the China National Quality System Certification, the United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Certification, the United States Department of Transportation Safety Certification, and the American Society of Automotive Engineers Safety Certification. Similarly, in Europe, our products have also obtained the German DEKRA quality certification and E-Mark certification, so you don't have to worry about the quality of our products. ”
"As for whether it will be sold in the market, the products developed by any manufacturer are to be brought to the market." Gilles paused, "It's just that the cost of this product is too high, so now we only sell it in the field of professional racing and the international top car modification market, as for the price, you can refer to the price of the F1 car braking system." And our products are a little more expensive, if you are interested in the team, you can contact us directly. "Beautiful Jill didn't forget to make an advertisement by the way.
"Wow!" The reporter below was in an uproar, a little more expensive than the current braking system of F1 cars? What's that concept? Nowadays, the cost of a F1 car alone has exceeded 2 million US dollars (after 2000, the cost of Ferrari's racing bike has reached 4.2 million US dollars), of which the cost of the engine is about 150,000 US dollars, and a team needs about 80-100 engines per year.
The cost of the braking system is lower than the cost of the engine, the cost of four brakes is about 80,000 US dollars, but the annual brake consumption of each team is definitely not lower than the consumption of the engine, generally speaking, the consumption of brakes is 2 to 2.5 times the consumption of the engine, so calculated. The amount of brakes consumed by a fleet in a year translates to between $1.6 million and $2 million in dollars.
The Alice Group has stated that the price of this brake will only be higher than the current brake, which means that if a team intends to use this composite ceramic brake system from the Alice Group, each team will pay at least $2.5 million per year, or even more! This is just the F1 team, not to mention other large and small races and those Middle Eastern tycoons who don't know how to spend a lot of money, Japan, Alice Group alone can earn at least hundreds of millions of dollars a year!
But. If compared to the brakes used by the teams, it seems that the brakes of the Alice Group are better, but all the people of the teams who came to the press conference were thinking in a completely different way from the minds of the reporters present: although they spent about $500,000 to $700,000 more. But now that Scuderia Ferrari has already used it, and the results are so obvious after the trial, what if your own team doesn't use it, but other teams do? Doesn't that mean that your team's car is completely behind the other teams in terms of braking performance? Damn, so what's the game about itself?
Among the 10 teams, except for Ferrari, which was able to accept the sponsorship of the Alice Group, the other teams that came to the press conference were all moved. Sunday's strong performance at Scuderia Ferrari was a wake-up call for all teams: if their team didn't adopt the new brakes, they would be at a disadvantage in the fierce competition ahead!
All the people secretly made up their minds to inform their convoy of this earth-shattering news when they returned!
"I wonder how much money I can make on the brakes this year after this press conference?" After the press conference, in the room in the hotel, Zhang Lan was very obsessed with money and counted one item by one, "MotoGP, SBK, F1, WRC, DTM, V8, GT, Le Mans Endurance Race...... "Ten fingers have been counted, and he still found that there are still many races that have not been counted, and he suddenly looked happy, "It's all money!" ”
"Come on," Xiao Chenxi's words ruthlessly broke Zhang Lan's dream, "I suggest that you first calculate whether the company's production capacity can keep up!" ”
"yes!" Hearing Xiao Chenxi's words, Zhang Lan's smiling face suddenly fell, "The output of this thing is really too low!" ”
"It's okay," Alice reassured, "anyway, it's going to take a while to use all of our stuff now, and that's enough time for us to add two more lines." ”
"That's right," Zhang Lan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned her head to ask Xiao Chenxi, "Sister, how far has the ceramic components for engine periphery we developed now?" ”
"It's progressing well," Xiao Chenxi said, "It is estimated that the physical object will be available by the end of next year." ”
"That's good." Zhang Lan nodded, and finally reassured, the peripheral components of the ceramic engine are the key to the company's next development, and there is no room for mistakes.
The next day, as expected, almost all the major media wrote about the cooperation between the Alice Group and the Scuderia Ferrari, and touted the brakes of the new material of the Alice Group into an epoch-making product, and even the domestic Xinhua News Agency was alarmed, and in the next few days, some foreign reports were selectively forwarded in a conspicuous position on the second page.
There is no taste in the heart of those who advocate it, especially a certain brake company in Japan that is now developing a ceramic brake system and is about to develop a successful brake company, and it is not a taste in the heart, and constantly tells the media that it is China's company that has stolen its own technology.
Everyone who heard the news almost laughed their big teeth off: stealing your technology? Who believes this! Who in the world doesn't know that you Japanese people like to steal other people's technology the most? Could it be that all the theft technology has been successfully developed, and the stolen ones have not even made samples? Even if this is just to fool the ghost, the ghost won't believe it, right?
"I didn't expect that the little thing that these two children insisted on doing back then would be so big now," Zhang Zongjun put down the newspaper and smiled bitterly at Yang Zhi, "Isn't it just a brake, why is it so big now?" I just can't figure it out, why does a set of brakes sell for $120,000? It's more expensive than my Lincoln! ”
In the past two days, the domestic newspapers have all introduced Alice Motorcycle's major breakthrough in the field of automobiles, and it is natural to regard it as China's achievements in the field of automobiles.
"This shows that our children have vision! At that time, I expected that this thing would have a future," Yang Zhi was beautiful, "Look at our children, all the money earned is foreigners' money, didn't you say it just now, and now foreigners are waiting in line to buy what kind of ceramic brakes we made?" While talking, he still muttered a little puzzled, "A ceramic plate is only a few yuan, and a brake can be sold for millions of yuan?" Shaking his head, it was obvious that Yang Zhi couldn't understand why they were all made of ceramics, and the price was so different.
"I remember," Zhang Zongjun suddenly remembered something, "I still remember our Lincoln, no, I asked the two children to modify it into this composite ceramic brake, I didn't expect it," said and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Inadvertently, I sat under my ass for more than 100,000 dollars!" ”
In fact, where does Zhang Zongjun know that his set of brakes is more expensive than the ceramic brakes on the F1 car, the reason why the braking distance of this Lincoln is longer than that of the F1 car, don't forget how heavy the F1 car is? The upper limit for filling up fuel with a driver is 600 kilograms, and this Lincoln is already close to two tons just empty.
