Chapter 734: The drunkard's intention is not to drink

In fact, when it comes to Mercedes-Benz's technology, it is indeed very bullish, but in recent years, Mercedes-Benz's bull has focused on certain aspects.

For example, in terms of on-board electronic control systems, especially autonomous safety systems, and in terms of the mechanical properties of its engines, Mercedes-Benz has really nothing to praise in recent years.

For example, in the field of automobile engines in recent years, the most sought energy saving and emission reduction, especially how to report that the displacement of the engine has declined, while saving more fuel, but also to ensure that the power and torque output of the engine remain unchanged in the core area, in fact, Mercedes-Benz really does not have any too good technology.

Of course, this is also related to their previous business strategy, you must know that even now, Mercedes-Benz has been insisting on the design and management of large displacement, luxury cars, and in their opinion, consumers who can afford such luxury cars, who will care about those few fuel dollars?

Therefore, they really do not make much contribution to the field of energy conservation and emission reduction of modern engines

This is where their business strategy fails the most, you must know that their business philosophy is indeed correct, consumers who can afford their luxury cars do not care about the gas money, but they care about face, is the trend.

In the next few years, the engine energy saving and emission reduction, to ensure that the high power and output torque remain the same, how to be more fuel-saving is the trend of the world's automobile engine development.

Even if you don't care about the gas money, if you can't keep up with the trend, you will be despised by others and eliminated by the trend.

Therefore, Mercedes-Benz's current business philosophy, in fact, the most neglected is the face of consumers.

THIS IS THE SAME AS APPLE'S THEORY, APPLE'S IPUONE WAS RIDICULED BY NOKIA AND MOTOROLA AT THE BEGINNING OF ITS DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THAT SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS PEOPLE WOULD NOT USE SUCH A MOBILE PHONE AT ALL, BECAUSE MANY OF THE FUNCTIONS ON THE IPHONE WERE ACTUALLY UNNECESSARY, AND MANY OR EVEN WOULD NOT BE USED OFTEN AT ALL.

But they ignore one point, that is, petty bourgeoisie like such mobile phones, so this mobile phone has become a trend, and in the face of the trend, even if you are a rich person, you must pay attention to this, because if you can't keep up with the trend, then you will be despised.

SO THE IPHONE SUCCEEDED, WHILE NOKIA AND MOTOROLA QUICKLY FELL.

The decline of Mercedes-Benz is also based on the same reason, when BMW and Audi are thinking about how to make their high-performance large-displacement engines, while keeping the data of high power and high torque unchanged, but more fuel-efficient than before.

Mercedes-Benz is still sticking to their luxury and safety design philosophy, and they have equipped their cars with a variety of electronically assisted safety systems, such as the nineth-generation Mercedes-Benz S series that they launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

On this model, they showed the night vision system, which is an infrared camera installed on the car, and when the car is driving at night, the driver can see the outside road conditions at a glance on the electronic screen in the car.

And their deviation warning system, these electronic auxiliary systems, all look very dazzling, very high-tech.

However, such an electronic high-tech system, when the engine system of the car is developed, is destined to be a system that will be ignored.

Because they ignore the most important point, that is, no matter how dazzling your electronic system is, the most critical core of the car is always the same three things: the engine, the gearbox, and the chassis! …,

Mercedes-Benz's obsession with electronic safety systems is the main reason why their market share fell sharply a few years later, and was eventually surpassed by BMW and Audi, and fell into business difficulties.

This is not to joke, in 2011, Mercedes-Benz was overtaken by Audi in one fell swoop and became the third largest in the luxury car series.

The absolute high-end luxury cars corresponding to the three major luxury car series, Rolls-Royce and Bentley are in the Celestial Empire, while Maybach is mixed to the point of being delisted.

And his own Mercedes-Benz, is the first to put down the skin, began to cut prices sharply, and BMW, Audi started a price war, C-class cars, often 100,000 yuan discount, and S-class is often more than 200,000 discounts, the highest level of ABKG is often 80 tens of thousands of discounts, but also stirred the market into a pot of porridge.

Although after a few years, they also realized the problem, and also focused their efforts back on the engine and transmission, as well as the chassis.

However, the bad reputation they had accumulated in the market before had already made it difficult for them to return, the arrogant attitude towards consumers, the later maintenance price was expensive, and the quality and durability were the worst among the three luxury brands......

Of course, it is impossible for Mercedes-Benz to predict this, and now they are still a little arrogant and triumphant, after all, Audi is not yet a climate, and there is no obvious threat to them, and BMW is just fighting with them.

Although now in the field of luxury high-end cars, another Huayang power has emerged, but Mercedes-Benz firmly believes that this shallow-rooted brand will take a long time to be recognized by the market.

And don't look at the technology they showed at this auto show, but the gap between them and Mercedes-Benz is still obvious, especially in the car's active safety control system, as well as electronic assistance systems, there is still a long way to go between them and Mercedes-Benz, so there is no need to panic at all.

And they still attach great importance to the two electronic control systems they fought at this auto show, especially the night vision system, which is the key to their efforts over the years.

Now that Jin Xiaoqiang said that he would change it, how could this Miles not be bleeding in his heart?

This kind of technology is specially assembled on luxury high-end cars, to reflect the high-end and luxury of your car, if it is replaced by Huayang Power, they are assembled on their Skyline Light F and J models, then their high-end cars are not like a tiger with wings?

So when Jin Xiaoqiang put forward their conditions, this Miles suddenly became entangled, and sat there and did not rush to communicate with Jin Xiaoqiang, but vigorously communicated with a few negotiation assistants around him, whispering something.

And Jin Xiaoqiang, who was sitting opposite, was not in a hurry, just watched them discuss with each other with a smile, and then waited for their reply.

In fact, if you are honest, Mercedes-Benz's two sets of autonomous safety systems, he really can't see it, the night vision system, and the lane keeping warning system, now it may seem to be quite high-end.

But after two or three years, such a system is really not a high-end thing, and a few years later, Volkswagen only bought more than 300,000 CC technology, isn't it the same?

And the reason why he proposed this exchange was actually that the drunkard did not mean to drink, and he knew that it might be difficult for Mercedes-Benz to agree to his condition, so when that time came, he proposed his second voluntariness in passing. …,

And by that time, Mercedes-Benz, which has already rejected itself once, is probably not so good at rejecting itself, right?

In fact, what he wants most is, of course, the Umonik of Mercedes-Benz, if he can get the technical support of this Umonik in truck technology, then his truck technology can be said to be a great achievement.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jin, I'm afraid it's hard for us to accept your proposal, you must know that this on-board night vision system, as well as the lane keeping warning system, but our Mercedes-Benz electronic engineer, the hard work of the past few years, he is also the current Mercedes-Benz unique technology, so ......

Miles very tactfully rejected Jin Xiaoqiang's conditions, at this time, Mercedes-Benz, still don't know the priority, these bullshit electronic auxiliary technology, in fact, compared with the engine technology, what can it be?

Jin Xiaoqiang secretly scolded in his stomach, but he didn't show anything.

When Miles saw that Jin Xiaoqiang was silent, and his face was not very good-looking, he thought that Jin Xiaoqiang was unhappy, so he immediately continued.

"Of course, Mr. Jin, if you have any other conditions, you can also put them forward, and of course we can continue to talk."

Jin Xiaoqiang raised his eyebrows, and deliberately pretended to be very angry and said to Miles.

"Still talking? What else is there to talk about? The second-generation turbocharger you need, and our latest BAT system, which set is not the latest technology key to our current Huayang Power? You say your electronic systems are key, aren't these technologies key to us? Is the hard work of our engineers worth a few years? ”

Jin Xiaoqiang's question made Miles feel very embarrassed, it is true that like other Germans, they are not very used to it, as soon as they come up, they put Huayang Power in the position of an equal cooperation negotiation object, and always feel superior, but after Jin Xiaoqiang reiterated it several times, they found that they really have no technology that no one else has.

"It's not like that...... That's not true...... Please rest assured, Mr. Kim, your other conditions, we will definitely agree to ......"

As soon as he said that, Miles knew he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late, because he had already seen a wicked smile on the face of the damn guy opposite......

"Well, Mr. Myers, in fact, I have always admired the technology of your Umonik truck, especially the underframe ...... of your Umonik U4000 model." )
