Chapter 913 Collaboration with Kajiva/Ducati on the development of new models
The Kajiwa 600 introduced by Lin Johnson has a maximum engine power of 25kW (34 horsepower) and a top speed of 160 km/h, which is not a problem to soar to more than 200. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The 602cc large-displacement single-cylinder engine, 18L gasoline volume, air-cooled, four-stroke, four-valve, electric start, splash pressure lubrication, and the transmission is a traditional five-speed constant mesh.
The Blue Wing series of motorcycles is the real technical level of the 80s, stronger than the technology imported from Japan, but Japanese motorcycles are notoriously fuel-efficient, Italian motorcycles can not be compared with Japanese technology in this regard, but the power is absolutely explosive, especially at high speeds, like a surging river.
The displacement of 602cc is a proper large displacement machine in the country, although there are various Japanese motorcycles on the market. Private goods, the style is very novel. The Italian motorcycles are a little old-fashioned in appearance, but they are the difference between Baoqiang and Liu Xiang, and the introduction of such heavy machines into the country will definitely cause a sensation in the car world. The irascible style of Italian motorcycles is obviously different from the gentle routes of Japanese motorcycles, and it is sure to bring a breath of fresh air to the domestic motorcycle market, and make motorcycle enthusiasts who have never been exposed to the world's top rows ecstatic!
.................
On the way back, he said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Mr. Lin, your government does not allow the introduction of these 20,000 motorcycles, what is going on?" We've made an agreement before, and if you don't fulfill the contract, you're in breach of contract! ”
Lin Qiangsheng is also quite helpless, the current situation is very similar to the Cherokee incident, the higher authorities do not give the import license to the card, even if the Italians transport the parts over, they can't leave the port, they are in a hurry, 20,000 motorcycles are not a small number for Kajiva and Ducati, and they can't compare with the Japanese brand, and attach great importance to each order.
He said to Caldo and the Kajva commissioner named Elvalo: "We don't have a permit, and you can't leave the port when your goods come, and now we have to find another way to cooperate." ”
He said helplessly to the two: "Although I have signed an agreement with you, some people in our government are not optimistic about this project, and we can't help it!" ”
Elvalo and Caldo glanced at each other, and the former then asked Lin Qiangsheng, "Then Mr. Lin, what is your other method, and can we still reach any consensus with you now?" ”
Kardo shook his head again and again, and said complainingly: "Damn GC elements, they have to take care of everything, this is interfering with the freedom of trade, disrespecting the agreements that have been signed, this is a serious violation of the spirit of the contract!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng spread his hands and said to Kaldor: "It's useless to say this, now we can only find a way to continue to cooperate, don't let my introduction plan be aborted, I think you think the same way, I don't want to see the failure of this cooperation, this is also a big loss for you." ”
Elvalo said: "Mr. Lin, is there any way to continue our cooperation now? ”
Lin Qiangsheng looked at the more than 10-minute drive from the city, and said to the two: "In this way, you guys will take a rest today, and we will discuss specific measures tomorrow." ”
Caldo glanced at Elvado, turned to Lin Qiangsheng and said: "No, you have to give us the answer before 3 o'clock this afternoon, we have to send the news back to China as soon as possible, Italy is 7 hours slower than China, and we have to have a result before the directors go to work." ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded: "Okay, I'll let you know in time, before 3 o'clock!" ”
Returning to the company without saying a word, Lin Qiangsheng hurriedly contacted Li Gang, general manager of China Automobile Company, and asked on the phone: "Mr. Li, can we really not approve the 20,000 motorcycle parts applied by Dongxing Group?" Over the years, I have contributed a lot to the development of the country's automotive industry, why did I get stuck at a critical moment? ”
General Manager Li Gang also knew about this and said, "Xiaolin, don't worry. It's not that the central government doesn't agree with your introduction plan, it's just that the higher authorities are still studying it, and there should be no problem in passing it, but I'm afraid it will have to be delayed a little in terms of time.
You also know that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the central government has a lot of work to do, and you have this matter a little bit lower. Besides, this is a large-displacement motorcycle, and many leaders still have concerns about the safety of this motorcycle. ”
He continued: "If you were to introduce a displacement of less than 250, it would be much easier. But you don't have to worry, cooperating with Italy, the introduction of large-displacement motorcycles is also a useful attempt, and the leaders will fully consider these. ”
Lin Qiangsheng was a little anxious, and he said helplessly: "The Italians have come, so I'll delay it a little longer." ”
This time, he was a little dissatisfied with the central government's approach, perhaps because his consistent good speech made some people above feel that they were easy to bully.
This is too bad, he believes that what can be solved with money can be solved with money, looking for common interests on both sides, but it does not mean that he will be manipulated and silent.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Qiangsheng came to the East Star Hotel and met Elvalo and Caldor, he had already found that Elvalo was the more talkative person among the two, with a higher status, and Caldo completely obeyed the command.
Elvalo asked straight to the point, "Mr. Lin, did you bring any good news?" ”
After a few people sat down, Lin Qiangsheng said: "I asked about some situations, and the government departments have doubts about our cooperation, they are optimistic about Japan's motorcycle technology, and they are a little worried about Italian technology!" ”
He added to his heart, wanting to see what else he could get from the Italians, and he didn't mind squeezing them.
The two of them were very angry after listening to Lin Qiangsheng's words, and it was still the bad guy who played the white face by Kardo and said: "Mr. Lin, if you can't fulfill the contract, we have every reason to sue your Dongxing Group in court, which is not good for you and your company's reputation!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng looked at him in surprise, spread his hands and asked, "Where is the court, Italy?" ”
Cardo said angrily: "Of course, it is the court of your country, and we will also report to the Italian Foreign Ministry!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng laughed, shook his head and said: "Kaldor, we don't need to make trouble to this extent, you also know that in our country you can't sue me at all, there are countless ways to make you return in vain!" ”
Cardo was annoyed for a while, and then Elvalo pretended to be red and said: "Mr. Lin, we don't want to make things out of control, I think that will also affect China's image." And I guess you're not here to quarrel with us, are you? ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said to Elvalo: "Indeed, I have thought of a solution, maybe we can reach a new consensus!" ”
Elvalo hurriedly said: "What way, I hope this is a useful suggestion!" ”
"Smack!"
Lin Qiangsheng snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my method is absolutely constructive." ”
"We can work together to develop a new motorcycle, I'll design the exterior, and Kajiwa and Ducati will help me develop and finalize the bike and the engine, with an investment of about $20 million," he told the two. If you're optimistic about it, we'll work together on this motorcycle after it's done. ”
Elvalo thought about it, this is more than half of the price of 20,000 motorcycle parts, but the development of motorcycles is not 20 million US dollars can be done, and this Mr. Lin in front of him is too underestimated by the technical content of motorcycles.
"I will contact China, and if Mr. Lin insists on entrusting us to develop a motorcycle, $20 million is not enough, and the development cost must reach at least $60 million," he said.
We need to develop a new engine and other subsystems, this is a completely new model, and the technology should be completely new.
And, I'd like to remind Mr. Lin that Kachwa doesn't necessarily produce the models you design, and although you're an expert in car design, you obviously don't know much about motorcycles! ”
Lin Qiangsheng shrugged his shoulders, and did not refute Elvalo's doubts about himself, but said: "That's not necessarily, maybe you will be very optimistic about the motorcycle I designed, don't beg me in turn when the time comes!" (To be continued.) )
