Chapter 565: SEMA show
CCTV really wants to make the standard king a trump card resource of CCTV, under the all-round resource mobilization of CCTV, Lisheng VCD DVD player has instantly become a topic of discussion throughout the country, as the parent company of Lisheng Electronics, Lianchuang Technology has also attracted great attention from government departments at all levels, and for a time Lianchuang Technology was busy with his heel hitting the back of the head.
But at this time, Lin Zheng had already gone to the United States.
This time I came to the United States, in addition to inspecting the work situation in the United States, I also participated in the SEMA modified car show held in the United States in mid-November.
As one of the world's largest modified car shows, SEMA modified car show was held in Las Vegas on November 10 this month, participating in this auto show not only the world's top modified car companies, but also such as AMG and other major automobile manufacturers of the royal modification manufacturers, of course, do not rule out such as Lin Zheng for Waldegard to do this Siberian Tiger custom car modification company such a small modification company.
For Lin Zheng's arrival, Waldegard's face was about to laugh, this guy has been busy like a dog for more than half a year, not only to make final preparations for the Dakar Rally that he is about to start, but also to help Lin Zheng debug the horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine on his Yangtze River 750 and make in-depth and detailed adjustments to the SmartCity car...... Suffice it to say, this thing doesn't sleep more than seven hours a day, but it's no wonder, probably because the life of the previous years was too depressed, and Waldegaard did not complain about this busyness, but enjoyed it. In Waldegard's words......
"Now I have finally found the true meaning of life," this thing looked at Lin Zheng seriously and said, "Lin, now I feel that this is the life I should have." It's the oil that flows in my blood. ”
"Is it engine oil? I think it's gasoline. Lin Zheng was in a good mood and didn't forget to joke with Waldegard.
"No, it's engine oil," Waldegard corrected the mistakes in Lin Zheng's words seriously, and looked at Lin Zheng's eyes full of gratitude: "Boss, thank you." ”
Lin Zheng waved his hand nonchalantly: "You are my employee, don't you know." Employees like you are what I like the most, and by the way, tell me about the SEMA Modified Car Show. I'll tell you the truth, I'm really curious. ”
"Okay, of course," Waldegard nodded immediately. The current Waldegard has a kind of blind trust in Lin Zheng. In the words of this guy who claims to have rediscovered his faith in life, that is, "I will only doubt when your words conflict with the Bible", although Lin Zheng was skeptical of Waldegard's words, but for Waldegard's words, Lin Zheng was still very useful. "This year, 2,200 exhibitors from dozens of countries around the world participated in this SEMA modified auto show, and according to the information released by the organizing committee, at least 80,000 industry leaders and 50,000 professional buyers attended the exhibition."
"So many businesses?" Lin Zheng was taken aback, although he knew that the SEMA modified car show was known as the world's largest modified car show. But as for what kind of big method this "world's largest" is, Lin Zheng did not have an intuitive impression before. But now it's different, hearing that there are more than 80,000 exhibitors alone, Lin Zheng can't help but be shocked.
For example, if you sign up for the vehicle modified car show as a modified car manufacturer, the organizing committee will inevitably arrange you to the modified car exhibition hall, and will definitely not arrange you to the auto parts exhibition hall;
Another point, SEMA modified auto show is not based on the strength of the exhibitors and the amount of money to determine the location of the exhibitors, but completely according to the order of enterprise registration to divide the booth, even if the financial strength is not so enough small enterprises, as long as you sign up early enough, you can also occupy a relatively good position, Lin Zheng knows too well how important a relatively fair exhibition environment is for a company.
"More than 80,700 to be exact," Waldegard nodded: "According to the nature of the exhibited products, the exhibition is divided into 12 sections. With more than 1,400 new products on display in the new product launch area, this year's SEMA show will also hold a number of seminars and product demonstrations for exhibitors and visitors, and we can learn a lot of advanced experience. ”
"Then you should learn more." Lin Zheng nodded, although he used to be a small shareholder of a second-hand car dealership, he often changed all kinds of good cars in his hands...... There's no way, the second-hand cars that come up always need to be re-adjusted...... But if you talk about how much Lin Zheng has feelings for the automobile industry, it may not be.
Lin Zheng didn't care, but it didn't mean that Waldegard didn't care, he nodded heavily: "Of course, this is a rare opportunity for me." ”
……………………
Time was pressing, and Lin Zheng, who had been sleeping on the plane for a few hours, did not go to the hotel to rest, but directly asked Waldegard to take him to the convention and exhibition center.
Since it was an exhibitor prepared by Waldegard for Lin Zheng in advance, the group naturally entered the venue without any obstacles, since it was a modified manufacturer, Lin Zheng directly asked Waldegard to take him to the No. 4 exhibition hall where the modified car was located. Ford-Wolf?!
Like Shelby, Wolf is also one of Ford's royal tuning car factories, but it is slightly funny that Wolfe's logo looks very much like the sports brand Puma, and a wolf poses with a Puma logo, how to look at it.
"Wolfe's booth isn't cheap, is it?" Looking at the size of the booth, Lin Zheng asked Waldegard in some surprise.
This booth is more than 200 square meters, which is indeed a considerable booth for SEMAshow, and Lin Zheng even doubts that Mercedes-Benz's royal tuning manufacturers AMG or Babos have such a large exhibition area.
"Of course it's not cheap," Waldegard nodded unexpectedly, "It's said that it won't be less than $600,000." ”
"But this booth can't be won with money, right?" Lin Zheng was still surprised that Wolf was able to occupy such a good booth.
Waldegard smiled: "Of course not, this position can only be obtained by close partners of American automakers, such as Ford, Chrysler or General Motors, which are officially recognized designated partners." ”
"But one of the basic principles of the SEMA Modified Car Show is not that whoever arrives first ......"
"I know what you mean, but what if they booked this seat last year?" Waldegard asked Lin Zheng lightly: "For these royal modification manufacturers, this money is nothing. ”
Lin Zheng was speechless for a moment, isn't it, for the royal modified car factories of these world's top manufacturers, this money is indeed nothing.
Along the way, Lin Zheng has opened his eyes, and names that have been talked about by countless car enthusiasts continue to appear in front of Lin Zheng's eyes: AMG and BRABUS, which are specially modified for Mercedes-Benz cars, ACSCHNITZER, the royal tuning manufacturer of BMW cars, ABT which is modified for Volkswagen and Audi cars, HRC and MUGEN which are modified for Honda, TOM'S and TRD which are modified for Toyota, STI and TEIN modified for Fuji Subaru cars, NISMO modified for Nissan cars, RALLLATT modified for Mitsubishi Motors and other well-known royal car modification manufacturers all appeared in front of Lin Zheng's eyes, and even the world's top modified car manufacturers such as famous off-road vehicle modification companies and supporting product manufacturers such as JAOS, AIBAWORKS, TJM, ARB and WARN also appeared in Lin Zheng's field of vision.
It's just that what makes Lin Zheng a little strange is why the modified cars displayed by these modified car factories are almost not covered with car clothing? Strictly speaking, it is not nothing, take a closer look, but there are more Japanese brand modified car factories that use car clothing to cover their show cars, and almost none of the car manufacturers in Europe and the United States use car clothing...... The reason why the word "almost" is used is because Lin Zheng did not finish the entire exhibition halls 4 and 5.
"The reason is of course very simple, the Japanese are like this, no matter what they do, they are sneaky, they look unsightly, our modified car factories in Europe and the United States will not have this mentality, since it is a modified car, it is to be generously taken out for people to see." Waldegard said with a look of disgust, I don't know what is going on with this guy, as long as he talks about the Japanese, he doesn't have a good face.
"That's right, the Japanese do do everything secretly." For Waldegard's evaluation, Lin Zheng agreed with 10,000 in his heart, and gave Waldegard 32 likes by the way, speaking of which, Lin Zheng suddenly remembered one thing: "By the way, I remember you told me that you even got the Yangtze River 750 side three-wheelers that I asked you to help me debug this time?" ”
"Of course, this is a living chariot," Speaking of the three Yangtze River 750 tricycles that Lin Zheng sent to the United States to help him debug, Waldegard's eyes were burning and shining: "God, if it weren't for those three cars in front of me like this, I can't believe that there are such original World War II chariots in this world!"
