Just came to the headquarters of the "Water Cube", Navali, CEO of Ambrera Transportation Equipment Manufacturing Company, came to Ling Shizhe's office and said: "BOSS, the inverted three-wheeled motorcycle has been debugged, when will it be listed?" ”

"Debugged so quickly?" Ling Shizhe was a little surprised and said, "I thought you would need at least five years." ”

"Five years, BOSS, you also underestimate our engineers, generally a new motorcycle can be debugged in a year, this motorcycle took us nearly three years, this is already very slow, five years? So how bad are we? ”

Ling Shizhe didn't believe Navalli's words a little, he knew too well what kind of technical level this motorcycle was, and it used too much high-tech. Generally, a new motorcycle on the market, it is generally not more than 20% of the new technology applied on it, and once it exceeds this value, the reliability and stability of the new product can not be guaranteed, high-tech is good, but poor reliability is also the biggest obstacle to the popularization of high-tech.

Not to mention anything else, in the case of ECU forming computers, this system has been out for several years, but so far no car company has purchased it, and the reason is not because car manufacturers do not trust ECU as a new thing. In addition, if the ECU is purchased, then the engine of the car has to be redesigned, and the previous engine is not used at all.

If we start from a new design, the question arises, how to design the engine under the management of the ECU driving computer is the most correct? No one knows, now is not the next generation, in the 21st century ECU has long been flying all over the sky, not only the engine is equipped with ECU, but also the brake system, stability system, power traction system, chassis system, transmission system, electronic steering system, etc., all integrated into the ECU, people in later generations have a set of mature solutions on how to apply ECU.

Therefore, there is not the slightest obstacle in how to design an engine that matches the ECU, but it is not possible in this era. ECU trip computer is a new thing that has never been heard of by automotive engineers in this era, and the engine at this time does not even have the concept of EFI, how do you ask them to design, how to match, how to tune. How can they do it when they have no direction at all?

Therefore, Ling Shizhe's ECU was tragic, and none of them were sold. On the contrary, oil solenoid valves and circuit controllers with certain ECU functions are very popular with automobile manufacturers. Because this thing can be mounted directly on a conventional engine. Its associated retrofit ideas were easily accessible to automotive engineers of this era.

It is precisely because the ECU has been slow to play the road, Ling Shizhe agreed that Navali will install the driving computer on the newly developed motorcycle, as long as the new motorcycle is recognized by the market, the ECU will definitely attract the attention of automobile manufacturing giants, with attention, will carry out research on related aspects, and then some companies will have the courage to try this new thing.

As long as they dare to try, Ling Shizhe can take advantage of the situation to sell them Ambrera's new engine.

No matter what era the market is, there will always be only three kinds of consumers, the first is the kind of consumer who has the courage to try. They are full of curiosity about new things, they are willing to try anything, as long as they feel good, they will sell to the people around them, so as to drive the second type of consumer, that is, ordinary people to buy, thus driving the whole market.

Apple's iPhone, for example, was driven by consumers who were brave enough to try new things.

The third group of consumers is those who are particularly conservative, and most companies don't target them as consumers. Because for this kind of person, no matter how hard you sell, many times it is useless.

And how many new technologies are used in this inverted three-wheeled motorcycle, separation lubrication system, "pei" contactless ignition device, "sacs" system, "saec" automatic exhaust system, rectangular four-cylinder engine, electronic fuel injection system, ECU driving computer full control. That's not all, the DCT dual-clutch transmission, ABS+EBD brakes, front and rear brake linkage system, TCS traction control system, and motorcycle chassis drive-by-wire system are all installed on this new motorcycle.

The application of new technology is more than 20%, and it can be said that every part of the inverted three-wheeler is completely new. It is equivalent to building a new motorcycle out of thin air, a motorcycle concentrates so much high-tech, Ling Shizhe gave them the estimated five-year adjustment period, and he already looked highly at them, but he didn't expect it to be adjusted in less than three years.

With great suspicion, Ling Shizhe came to the test site to drive it himself to see if there was really no problem with this motorcycle.

The test track was already full of people, and more than 50 inverted three-wheeled motorcycles for testing were lined up in five rows, and since they were only test motorcycles, the bodies were not retouched, and the appearance looked as ugly as it was.

Seeing Ling Shizhe coming, everyone automatically got out of the way, Ling Shizhe patted a black inverted three-wheeled motorcycle and said, "Bring the key." ”

Seeing that the boss was going to test the car in person, the people below did not dare to slack off, a middle-aged white man in his fifties handed the key to Ling Shizhe, and said: "BOSS, I am the chief engineer of the inverted three-wheeled motorcycle, Kebo, I know that after you learn the news, you will definitely have some doubts, because the new technology on it is used too much, and it has been adjusted in less than three years without reducing the allocation, which is an incredible thing for anyone, but it did happen." ”

Taking the key, Ling Shizhe inserted it into the keyhole, and did not start it, but said to the people around him: "I will personally check, especially the reliability and durability and the stability of the system." ”

After saying that, the motorcycle was started, and the one-time ignition was successful, which was good. As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the motorcycle rushed out like an arrow from Lixuan......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Navali, you guys did a good job, the motorcycle is very good, very reliable." Ling Shizhe got off the motorcycle in the dust, he spent nearly a month to test this motorcycle, almost the whole of Canada was run by him, in order to test whether the new motorcycle is reliable and durable, in the past month, he was so hard to toss, and finally just like Navali said. No matter how much you toss, it's still so reliable.

"Boss, give it a name, we can't reverse three rounds. That's what the reverse three rounds call it. ”

"Call it Spyder." Ling Shizhe said that this motorcycle is copied from the classic Bombardier Spider-Man inverted three-wheeled shape, Spider-Man is the name given to him by the Chinese people after it came to China, and its official name should be Spyder. Since Ling Shizhe copied it, he simply named it after its original name.

"The engine of this motorcycle is still only air-cooled, and the water-cooled engine must be brought out as soon as possible."

Navali said: "We have been designing the GS water-cooled engine for a long time, and I believe it will not be long before it can be installed. ”

The reason why Bombardier's 4-stroke water-cooled 8-valve V-twin engine produced in Austria did not use Bombardier's own engine, and the reason for this is that since 80 years later, Bombardier has focused its business on large vehicles such as aircraft, railways and urban rail transit, and has paid much less attention to motorcycles, snowmobiles, motorboats or ATVs, and the motorcycle business has only been treated as a toy by Bombardier.

So in the new century, Bombardier's motorcycle engines are increasingly unable to keep up with the times. Eventually, the engine division was sold, and Bombardier would later produce all motorcycles, including snowmobiles, jet skis, and other vehicles, using engines purchased from other companies.

This led to a serious consequence, Bombardier fell from the first echelon in the motorcycle field to the second echelon, and if it were not for the Spyder façade, it is estimated that it would not even be able to keep the second echelon.

But in this life, Ling Shizhe will not let this kind of thing happen again, after Bombardier was acquired. Ling Shizhe merged the engine power department into the aviation power company, and the engine was completely handed over to Wang Yuanzhuo, and the vehicle transportation equipment manufacturing company was responsible for the design and manufacture of motorcycles.

"What is your market pricing?"

"How about $40,000?" Navali said.

Ling Shizhe nodded, the Spider-Man in his previous life was almost the same price. Compared to ordinary motorcycles, this is simply a behemoth, with a body length of 2667mm, only 28mm shorter than the smart, and a width of 1506mm, coupled with a 225-wide rear tire. First of all, he overwhelmed all the opponents of this era in terms of momentum, not to mention that he also used so much high technology, and the price of 40,000 US dollars was definitely worth the price.

"By the way, widen the rear wheel a little more, make it a little taller, and I feel a little bit slippery on the rear wheel." Ling Shizhe thought for a moment and added.

At this time, a BMW drove into the test site, this is Foster's newly bought car, he got out of the car and walked to Spyder to take a closer look, and said: "BOSS, this car is really too stylish, on the road it must have a 100% return rate, it is definitely a weapon for picking up girls." ”

Navali teased, "Do you want to make you a horse fisherman?" ”

"No, I already have a family, and I love my wife very much." After speaking, Navali turned his head to Ling Shizhe and said, "BOSS, have you heard of the Rotax Company?" ”

"I've heard that this is an Austrian engine manufacturer known for producing high-performance small aircraft engines." Ling Shizhe replied.

"He doesn't just produce small aircraft engines, but also motorcycle engine manufacturers, as well as car engines and small diesel engines, BOSS, are you interested in buying it?"

Ling Shizhe said: "What's the matter, is something wrong?" ”

"Rotax President Stey. Mohr was a classmate of mine in college, and we were in a dorm, and he asked me if you were interested in Rotax. Foster explained.

"Isn't Rotax running very well, why is it suddenly going to sell?"

"It's not the economic crisis that's not the case, a lot of companies are in a bad financial situation," Foster said. Rotaxy's parent company has not been doing well in recent years, so it plans to sell Rotax to raise funds. Ambrera has been doing well over the years, and even the economic crisis has not affected you in the slightest. More knows you're interested in aero engines and even has an aero engine manufacturing company, so let me ask. ”

Listening to Foster's words, Ling Shizhe suddenly remembered that Rotax had always been a subsidiary of Bombardier in later life, and it seemed that the Navali in front of him had acquired Rotax during his tenure, so he looked at Navalli and asked, "How much do you know about Rotax?" ”

Sure enough, Navali knew Rotax very well, "Rotax was originally a German company, specializing in the manufacture of automobiles, motorcycles and aircraft engines during World War II, after the surrender of Germany, Rotax moved all the companies to Gunskirchen, Austria in 1947, and became an Austrian company, which has nothing to do with Germany."

Bombardier has been doing business with Rotax since the day it was born, when the engines used in Bombardier's sleds and motorboats were purchased from Rotax, and after the United States declared war on Germany, the two companies broke off business, after which Bombardier began to produce its own engines.

It wasn't until '66 that Rotax approached us again, hoping to continue the previous cooperation, but at that time we already had our own engine factory, and there was no interest in Rotax producing engines, not to mention that Bombardier had already begun to decline at that time, and we couldn't take care of it ourselves, and there was still effort to take care of it, so there was no way to talk about cooperation.

After moving to Austria, the 50s were the golden age of Rotax, but in the 60s, with the rise of the Carlisle Group and Honeywell, as well as the Japanese company, Rotax began to decline, and today Rotax is a half-dead company affected by the economic crisis. (To be continued.) )xh123
