Chapter 735: Flickering
Miles was drinking coffee at this time, because he wanted to hide the embarrassment of saying the wrong thing just now, but this sip of coffee had not yet entered his stomach, and when he heard Jin Xiaoqiang's condition, this sip of coffee almost didn't spit out......
What's the matter? Actually open your mouth to ask for the underframe of our Umonik's U4000?
Aren't you a lion with a big mouth? The underframe of Umonique U4000 is the proudest place in Mercedes-Benz, the only one in the world, and there is no other branch!
The reason why Umonik can be called the ultimate off-road king is because of the fame of this U4000, and it is the underframe of this U4000 that gives this car the title of the king of off-road.
The technology of this chassis is not given in vain, how many manufacturers have wanted to copy this chassis technology of Ulmonic, and finally it is not on the threshold of the patent, or it is poured on the lack of technology, or the problem of unknown parameters, the underframe technology of the Umonik U4000 is undoubtedly one of the crown jewels in the field of Mercedes-Benz brand technology.
But this Jin Xiaoqiang actually shamelessly opened his mouth to ask for it, what did he think?
Is it true that when we are Mercedes Benz is a soft persimmon, pinch casually? We need your skills to be true, but don't take yourself too seriously.
Miles's face was blue and white at this time, and his heart was churning like a river and a sea, and at this time he really wanted to get up and lift the table and leave.
But several negotiation assistants sitting next to him were constantly hinting to him with their eyes not to have a seizure, this was not a small fight.
It took Miles a long time to calm down, as he remembered the analysis made by their company's internal technical department before coming to Huayang Power.
It is not impossible to develop Mercedes-Benz's own second-generation turbocharging technology, as well as 8AT transmission technology. But this could cost Mercedes-Benz almost a billion dollars in R&D funding, and it will take about two years.
But in the past two years, will Huayang Power stand still?
You have to know where they are, but Jin Xiaoqiang, a demon-level figure in the modern car design industry, God knows two years later. What kind of height will this guy take to improve Huayang Power's technology?
Maybe two years later, when Mercedes-Benz understands the second-generation turbocharging technology and the 8AT transmission, people have already figured out the third-generation turbocharger and a more awesome transmission.
One of the most peculiar hateful possibilities is that maybe when Mercedes-Benz's technology development is about to succeed, this guy will announce that he has developed a new generation of technology. As a result, the money they spent on the second-generation turbocharger and the 8AT transmission, as well as the human resources, and the time, were all wasted.
Just like Toyota, which suffered an internal injury at the Frankfurt Motor Show not long ago, it spent a lot of time and money, as well as manpower and material resources, to develop the latest generation of 8AT transmission, but it was judged to be outdated technology before it was launched. Who can afford it?
Therefore, after several comparisons and choices, the best answer Mercedes-Benz got in the end was to obtain such technology from Huayang Power, and then develop a new generation of technology by itself. This saves both time and money.
But the conditions of Huayang Power are too harsh, which of the technologies they want, which are the brainchild of Mercedes-Benz, just hand it over, Mercedes-Benz is really unwilling.
And Jin Xiaoqiang sat on the Diaoyutai unhurriedly at this time, waiting for Miles to reply to him.
In fact, the reason why he is so obsessed with Mercedes-Benz Umonik is also because he had a meeting with Liu Changshan and several other engineers who are fond of big trucks a few months ago. …,
At that time, Jin Xiaoqiang had already decided to set up a truck company of Huayang Power, and he also specially called Liu Changshan and several other engineers who were engaged in truck research and development, and now are engaged in special vehicle research and development, to study this project together.
Even Fang Shanhai, who joined Houla, who is very good at studying the new generation of trucks, and Liu Changshan, who is of the older generation, are all very respectful of Mercedes-Benz Umonik.
Plus the chassis of their Warframe off-road vehicle. There is also a part of the system copied from Mercedes-Benz's Umonik chassis, so Jin Xiaoqiang got a second-hand truck of the Umonique model, which is currently the best-selling U4000 model, for everyone to disassemble and study.
It's no wonder that Umonique's truck can have the reputation of the ultimate off-road king, and it turns out that this name is really not blown.
4X4 truck with a load of 4.5 tons. Jumping over a 49cm obstacle is like walking on the ground, and when you challenge a 55cm obstacle that is the limit for ordinary off-road vehicles, you can easily pass without blinking an eye.
In the subsequent experiment of crossing the axle over the steep slope on the rough road, as long as the twist angle is within 30 degrees, the truck can actually keep the wheels on the ground.
After the experiment of climbing and wading, Jin Xiaoqiang was even more dumbfounded, a 45-degree slope, such a behemoth was actually a problem, and it was easy to cross the slope.
It's no wonder that the German Wehrmacht has such a high opinion of Umonik, and knowledgeable off-road players will hold this Umonik so highly in high esteem.
So although Jin Xiaoqiang had already obtained the chassis technology of the Czech Republic's too dragged large trucks from Volkswagen at that time, he was still impressed by the chassis technology of Umonik.
It is said that after the Detroit Auto Show at the beginning of the year, he negotiated with the top management of Volkswagen, and did get a lot of good things from them.
Too much drag is a famous truck brand in the Czech Republic, but it is in the hands of the Germans, and the Germans do not pay much attention to too much drag because they have too many good cards in their hands, which makes Jin Xiaoqiang successful.
But from the lion truck, Jin Xiaoqiang just got a transmission, as for the engine technology of this kind of big truck, because of the presence of Mr. Liu Hong, Jin Xiaoqiang is not too worried.
But as a technical control of Jin Xiaoqiang, he always felt that his truck company was still short, until he got the truck of Umonik and watched the experiment of climbing mountains and wading in the water with his own eyes, he knew what the truck company he wanted to engage in was lacking?
What they lack is this unique technology, in the field of household passenger cars, they Huayang Power has entered the high-end, but in the field of trucks, why can't they strive for better brand influence?
The chassis technology that is too dragged is indeed very good, but it is generally 8X8, or 4X6 paved road large truck technology, but for this 4X4 small truck technology, they are still lacking.
And even the kind of big eight-wheeled, or ten-wheeled, sixteen-wheeled trucks, Umonik also has its own unique skills, their U2450 series can also be used by the United States, Britain, France and more than two dozen other countries, as a missile tow, or howitzer armored vehicles, command vehicles, ambulances and so on.
Moreover, in many mining areas of the world, such as the iron ore mining areas on the west coast of Australia, the Vale of Brazil, and the diamond and gold mining areas of South Africa, there are many places where the terrain is rugged and difficult to transport, and it is also the place where Umonik gallops.
Considering the booming resource industry in the Celestial Empire in recent years, especially the development of the mining industry, they also continue to use this kind of multi-functional transport truck that can adapt to various terrains and frames, so Jin Xiaoqiang had the idea of getting the underframe of Umonik. …,
And this time Mercedes-Benz came to the door by himself, but it was exactly what he wanted.
"Mr. Kim......"
Miles pondered for a long time, he couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't know how to talk to Jin Xiaoqiang, after all, he had just said a big thing, and if he regretted it now, it would make people criticize him for being insincere, which was a taboo in negotiations.
"Hehe, I know it's hard for you to decide, Mr. Myers, so let's talk about my thoughts. As one of the ace brands of Mercedes-Benz, we can understand this, this brand has a very glorious history, but now I think the influence of this brand is gradually shrinking, and his real influence has not been released to the maximum, don't you think? Mr. Myers? ”
Jin Xiaoqiang's rhetorical question silenced Miles, it is true that Umonik's car is very good, but it is not as well-known as Scania, Volvo, and even Volkswagen's lion can't be compared.
Why is that? The reason is simple, because Umonik has always followed the tradition of Mercedes-Benz, which is that their selling price is too high, and they want to be the nobility of the truck, so that even if many people know that the car is good, they can't afford it.
If it weren't for the German Ministry of Defense, as well as some European countries because of national defense, the incumbent Umonik would have paid the bill, and this brand would have been yellow a long time ago.
"Mercedes-Benz can't always have such an aristocratic idea, you know that if you want to gain a foothold in the market, then you have to occupy the market to the maximum, and this is something that your Umonik does not do well. Look at the current truck market, it has become the world of Scania and Volvo, but is their technology really better than that of Umonik? No! Not really! Now I know that Mercedes-Benz has some bottlenecks in sales, so why can't we choose a breakthrough point? If you don't plan to adjust the price of your family passenger car, why not take a different path when it comes to trucks? ”
Jin Xiaoqiang's flickering of the river made Miles immediately moved...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
