Supercars are not so easy to study, and if Danshi is tinkered with, then the profits of this thing will be great.
And compared with buying an ordinary car, this thing is definitely a deal of fame and fortune, you look at the current few companies that specialize in high-end luxury cars, which one is not alive and well?
What Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston. Enterprises like Martin and Porsche, in a year, the number of products sold is less than a fraction of that of ordinary models, but the profits brought by such cars are dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary family cars.
And such a high-end luxury supercar, once it becomes famous, then a series that follows will sell well, and will be hyped as a classic, and it will endure forever!
At this point, the German guys took advantage of it, taking advantage of the rigorous and precise characteristics of their manufacturing machinery to hype an industrial product into a luxury product, and they made a lot of money every year, but it made the American car companies very red.
Although the three major car companies in the United States have also launched a lot of high-end luxury cars to fight, but after so many years of fighting, the final result is that the high-end luxury cars in the United States have been completely defeated in front of brands like Lamborghini and Porsche, completely giving up the real high-end luxury market and can only retain a place in the second-level market.
In fact, it is not a matter of one or two days for Americans to be jealous of this market, but Danshi has always been powerless about this market, and now Jin Xiaoqiang, who has the name of a genius designer, actually wants to take the lead in challenging this market, Nick. Reilly's side can't help but be full of motivation.
Jin Xiaoqiang is currently recognized as a genius designer in the global automotive industry, although his previous achievements have been in the design of ordinary family cars, and he has not set foot in the field of supercars or real high-end luxury cars.
Danshi: Who can say that this guy doesn't have the strength to design such a supercar or high-end luxury car?
Nick. Reilly has not been in contact with Jin Xiaoqiang for a day or two, and he is very confident in Jin Xiaoqiang's ability, because at least so far, what he has witnessed in this guy is a miracle, and he really hasn't seen this guy fail too much.
In the cooperation of the K series, it seems that GM Yijing is impossible, and Huayang Power has no obligation or need to give up such a gold mountain, if Danshi can participate in the research and development of this Huayang Power's supercar model, then this is not a kind of compensation?
Losing the east corner and harvesting the mulberry elm can not be said to be a blessing for Saiong to lose his horse!
If Huayang Power can successfully develop this model, how much profit can GM get in the future? It's hard to say how much he can achieve, and whether the old ghosts on the board of directors will look at him again.
Nick. Reilly's face was constantly changing, and his heart was struggling fiercely at this time.
Jin Xiaoqiang's meaning is very clear, the K series will definitely not take you to play, if you want to play, I can consider letting you get involved in our supercar, luxury car research and development plan.
And the conditions are also very clear, we will contribute to the design, but the funds for research and development, of course, must be provided by you.
This amount of money is not a small amount, in fact, compared with investing in factory construction and production, the funds required for research and development are the majority.
And there is a certain risk in this investment, in case the R&D plan fails, or it drags on for ten or eight years, then the only one who will suffer at that time can only be GM.
In case GM suffers a loss, then don't look at the old ghosts in the current board of directors, who will laugh when they see themselves, once they let their purse suffer losses, then these grandsons will be able to turn their faces and deny people immediately. …,
So at this time Nick. Reilly's inner battle is also very intense, and he can't help but be very cautious and cautious about Jin Xiaoqiang's proposal.
If the operation is good, then of course everything is fine, there is no need to worry about anything, and you are waiting for yourself to be promoted and rich in the future, but once the operation is not good, what awaits you is a catastrophe, and you are also the boss of the age, and you can't afford to fail.
Nick. Reilly's heart is still fighting fiercely, while Jin Xiaoqiang on the opposite side is a good time, and now the situation has turned over and is controlled by himself.
It is very reasonable to take advantage of the matter that the public came to negotiate yesterday, and he will dissolve GM's aggressive strategy to force the palace, and now he throws a quick bone casually, and lets Nick. Reilly was in a dilemma, of course Jin Xiaoqiang was not in a hurry in this situation, and the initiative was back in his hands.
"Mysterkin, I want to ask, how long will it take for your R&D plan to start hands-on research and development to the appearance of finished cars?"
Nick. Lei Li rang for a long time and gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, and asked Jin Xiaoqiang to arrive, he Yijing was determined to come in.
"Nick, you know, the supercar model is not as simple as an ordinary family car, to develop such a model, the first thing we have to get is a new platform, such a platform is very time-consuming. If it is an ordinary family car, I am not exaggerating to say that with my design ability and our company's ability, I estimate that it will take about a year and a half to get it done, which is half the time compared to other companies. Danshi supercar and luxury high-end cars are different, this kind of model must be refined, it takes time and energy, if we are zhende on this model cooperation, start design and development, even if I lead the team, I am afraid it will take more than three years, this is still the minimum setting. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang looked straight and answered Nick very professionally. Reilly to.
Nick listened to Jin Xiaoqiang's words, not only did he not get angry, but his brows relaxed, he knew that what Jin Xiaoqiang said was not a lie, but the truth.
As a senior practitioner in the automotive industry, he knows how long it takes to develop an ordinary new car, and it will take at least 36 months, that is, three years, to go from design and drawing to the public launch of the car, which is the most basic time consumption.
If Danshi wants to design a supercar, or a truly luxury high-end car, you're going to have to take a little longer.
After all, people who can afford such a car are people who have extremely high requirements for the quality of the car, you must definitely achieve 360 degrees without dead ends, and you must also install a variety of eye-catching gimmick technology on the car, etc.
Not to mention the shape of the car, it must be unusual, distinguish from ordinary family cars, and ensure the beautiful appearance at the same time, but also ensure the high-tech content of the car.
Therefore, from all aspects, designing a supercar or a high-end luxury car is the ultimate test for an automobile designer to be a true master!
What's more, in order to ensure the quality of such a supercar, you still have to spend a lot of time designing the powertrain of this car, as well as key parts such as the chassis?
Therefore, even those companies that specialize in high-end luxury cars, if they want to design a new high-end luxury car, it will take five to six years, or even longer.
As for the so-called new cars they launched during this period, they are generally all variants of the original generation of models.
And Jin Xiaoqiang said that he can talk for more than three years to get a high-end luxury car, or a supercar, Nick. Reilly still believed him. …,
Judging by his magical performance over the past two years, and his most famous speed of innovation, he may be able to design a brand new supercar in three years' time, after all, he still has Peter by his side. A master like Rishiel helps.
You must know that Peter once again proved to the world at the Paris Motor Show that he is still not old, and he has previously born a new Audi A6 from his hands, as well as Audi TT, he is very experienced in this area, with the assistance of such an old courtier, I believe that Jin Xiaoqiang should not be bragging.
"So according to your estimates, how much money will be needed to develop such a supercar?"
Nick. Reilly asked again, it seemed that he was zhende tempted.
"Three years, about a billion dollars."
Jin Xiaoqiang replied without thinking about it, spending one billion dollars in three years to create a new high-end luxury brand, such a price is not too much in this year.
Of course, Jin Xiaoqiang's shouting price was also deliberately raised a lot, he didn't want to work for GM in vain, and he had to take advantage of it.
If a new car is developed, it will be untold for decades to come, and Nick knows the benefits of investing in R&D.
"Well, if we want to join this project, then we have to know the progress of the research and development of this project at any time, and the most important thing is that once the new car is successfully developed and launched, we will be layered between us, and we must not be like the previous Qoros!"
Nick. Reilly has always been obsessed with the way Qoros was divided into previous car series.
"OK!
"In addition, our people will also be involved in this design, keep abreast of the progress of research and development, and also monitor the flow of funds we have invested."
Nick. Reilly added another one.
"Well, that's not non-negotiable...... But first of all, can GM provide us with some platform parameters of similar models such as Cadillac or Dodge for our reference? ”
The two sides began to bargain, since you have so many requirements, of course, we Huayang Power can also put forward some conditions.
"I'm going to go back and talk to the board about this......"
The two sides argued for a while and finalized some basic details, but at this time, Jin Xiaoqiang kept sneering in his heart, I'm afraid that this time GM is going to be planted, and I don't know if their company can be kept after three years?
This time, I'm afraid they made their wedding clothes for nothing!
