Chapter 115: Born for Speed
"There is no problem at all," Jet Li's lawyer looked at the contract prepared by Alice for Jet Li, carefully studied it word by word, and looked pious like a pastor reading the Bible, and the excitement in his tone could not be suppressed, "I can use my reputation as a lawyer for more than 20 years as a guarantee, there is no problem with this contract at all, you can rest assured that you can boldly sign your name." Jet, I'm sure you must have been favored by God, otherwise it's unbelievable that Alice Group would offer you such a lucrative contract. ”
The lawyer didn't expect that the contract given to Jet by the Alice Group could be so generous, and in 89, the endorsement fee of $400,000 is what is the concept of Jet Li, who has just come to Hollywood and is basically not famous? In fact, only a few of the most celebrities in Hollywood can get so much endorsement fees, and the lawyer has to sigh that JetLi is very lucky to step on shit. Of course, the lawyer is very excited, in any case, his legal fee will not be less, maybe he should pay attention to this small Chinese in the future? This guy thought to himself.
The contract prepared by the Alice Group is quite careful, no matter which party it cooperates with, the contract is written again and again in English, and it will also be written in the official language of the country where the company is located.
Huang Qiuyan was stunned on the side, and still can't believe that this is the truth: as long as you sign your name, $400,000 is your own, and there are no traps at all? Is there really such a pie-in-the-pie thing in the sky?
Since there is no problem, let's sign it. Jet Li grabbed the pen, Long Feifeng danced on the contract to sign his own name, although Jet Li is illiterate, but his name is still written well, in order to sign a good hand, but he has worked hard.
"Really?" Zhang Lan asked excitedly. "Really signed? So fast? ”
"Is this still fast?" Alice was smiling coquettishly on the other end of the phone, Zhang Lan can now imagine this girl's proud appearance, if she is in front of her now, she will definitely ask for a reward from herself. "I really don't understand what you're happy about, aren't you just a little star who doesn't make it into Hollywood, as for being happy like this?"
"You don't understand," Zhang Lan said with a smile, "this is called investing in potential stocks." I dare to assert that in 1991 at the latest, that is, the year after that, this guy will be a hot mess, and now we are helping him at this time, with this guy's temperament, he will definitely give us sufficient rewards in the future, you see, right? ”
"Are you sure of that kind of thing?" Alice was curious, "Can you predict the future?" ”
"Huh." Zhang Lan smiled but did not answer.
How can this kind of thing be talked about, I really didn't believe it at the time. But now you can't help but believe it, when you see the bull and the horse face and be reborn, can't you still believe in the providence in the dark? There are gods in the first three feet, Zhang Lan doesn't want to make this matter known to the world, only if he knows, Zhang Lan is very worried about whether he will be canceled by God when he says it.
"Jet Li will rush over to shoot a commercial in a month at the earliest," Hearing that Zhang Lan didn't answer, Alice also took this matter as a joke, and instead of continuing to dwell on this issue, she continued with the question just now. "When the time comes, I'll send an advertising crew over at the same time, so you don't have to look for an advertising agency over there."
"Well, okay," Zhang Lan nodded. This is the best, what good advertisements can these domestic advertising companies shoot now? Zhang Lan hardly had any confidence in these guys.
Engine Design Office, Ducati S.p.A., Italy.
"How?" DelTorchio asked, "Pretty much about it, right?" How long will it take to complete? ”
"Soon. The design of the engine has been completed," the engineer is confident, "and now what is going on is the matching connection between the engine and the body, which will be completed soon." ”
"Of course," DelTorchio patted the guy on the shoulder, "come on man, we Ducati will always be the best." Do a good job this time, I will apply to the boss to give you a bonus. ”
"Hehe, thank you, boss." Hearing DelTorchio say this, the engineers get excited, add bonuses, what an exciting word! I'm tired like a dog, isn't that what I'm for?
"Well, you guys keep trying, I'll go and have a look." DelTorchio patted the guys on the shoulder encouragingly and walked over to the mold design and body design departments on the other side.
Ducati engineers have done a great job, the engine redesign work has been completed, compared to the previous 250CC engine in the 60s, the new engine directly transplanted a lot of advanced technology of the current engine, multi-valve and overhead camshaft plus water-cooled design, in addition to the increased cylinder capacity and re-optimized design of the connecting rod crankshaft, can make this naturally aspirated 250CC engine burst out of 50% more power than the original, what is even more rare, While adding such a strong power, the weight of the entire engine has been reduced by 5 kg compared to the previous one thanks to the new engine material! Don't underestimate these 5 kilograms, you know, how much does a motorcycle engine weigh in total? Being able to lose 5 kilograms, DelTorchio thinks it's a miracle!
Compared to the previous one, even if the current engine is installed in the old Diana MARK3, DelTorchio can be sure that this car will definitely be able to break through the top speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and if it is combined with the new design of the body, it should be able to reach a top speed of at least 220 kilometers per hour, and it is likely to be higher.
In the design department, the body shape has been made, and there is a frame without an engine installed, and the frame is still Ducati's permanent and blood-red body paint, which makes people shudder because of the horror, this Diana Mark is completely different from the Diana Mark 3 in 1968, no, or rather, this is not Diana Mark 3 at all, the body has been re-optimized, the posture is lower, the wind resistance is smaller, and the newly designed large surround and fairing design, It is very effective in reducing the wind resistance at high speeds, the streamlined fuel tank is more beautiful, and the lower rider posture effectively reduces the wind resistance and also helps the rider to play the strong performance of the car; In terms of braking system, the drum brake system used before was abandoned, and the disc disc brake was not used for a long time only in high-end cars, and the single disc brake design of the front wheel double disc brake and the rear wheel enlarged single disc brake design ensures that the car has good braking performance at high speed, and there is no need to consider the thermal attenuation effect of the braking system too much, because the large and small heat dissipation holes on the disc brake are designed to dissipate the heat on the brake disc at the fastest speed.
No matter what the original intention of the design is, the speed gene has been deeply integrated into the bones of the designers, and through their hands, infiltrated into every Ducati motorcycle, Ducati is born for one purpose: that is, speed! Unbeatable speed!
"Boss," the design department members yelled at DelTorchio excitedly as they saw DelTorchio walk in, "Well, we're doing a good job, aren't we?" ”
As the result of their own hard work, these guys have plenty of self-confidence and have designed one of the toughest cars in the 250cc class, and Ducati was born to beat all opponents, even in the "small" displacement class like the 250CC.
"Great," DelTorchio praised, "was great! ”
Now, DelTorchio no longer worries about the design of the car, but has begun to worry about another question: how much does such a good and powerful car cost? Can it be sold at such a high price in that poor part of China?
Although the exact price is not yet known, DelTorchio can roughly guess that the price of this car will definitely not be lower than that of those 400cc class cars in Japan.
At this price, do Chinese really consume? DelTorchio was very suspicious, if it couldn't sell a few cars a year, wouldn't Alice lose a lot of money?
Of course, DelTorchio has good reason to be suspicious, but of course he won't know that Zhang Lan originally didn't plan to sell this car as a cabbage, a good car, of course, there must be a price worthy of it, otherwise it will also be a big insult to the car itself!
