Chapter 204: The Insulted Ah San
Asmara is located in the northernmost part of the East African plateau, with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, is a small city of 150 square kilometers, and the population is only a few hundred thousand, that is, it is about the same as a small county town in the east.
However, in Africa, this is already quite a good city, with wide streets with tall coconut trees on both sides, blue skies, cool air, and despite the war, the streets are still clean and tidy, except for the occasional BTR armored car seen on street corners, the whole city looks orderly.
The city has a history of hundreds of years, before the Italian colonial rule, so, the architectural style of the whole city is Italian, churches, Qing * temple, cinemas, hotels, etc., all with Italian style, the exterior walls are generally yellow, clean and tidy, the government building is just a low three-story Italian building, with many flagpoles in front of it, fluttering bright flags.
The city's main thoroughfare, which has just been renamed Jiefang Avenue, is moving fast along this avenue, and it looks like it is about to reach its destination, but a group of people are gathered on the street in front of it.
The people were clapping and applauding, not knowing what was going on inside, and the roads were clogged up because of the increasing number of people.
The convoy stopped, and in the front car, Gal walked over quickly, shouting, "Hey, what are you doing, get out of the way!" ”
After saying that, his hands had skillfully operated the automatic rifle from behind.
"Don't do this, Gal, these are our people, not enemies." Mulatu also got out of the car, watching Gal's movements, a little anxious, do you still think it's a war? The big guy just watched the fun, are you going to use the gun? The muzzle of the gun cannot be pointed at its own people, otherwise their newly established regime will be unstable.
However, when Gal shouted like this, everyone dispersed, and the entire field was empty, and the situation in the center of the field could be clearly seen.
There is a motorbike there.
The red fuel tank, the red partial cover, there are also two diagonal stripes printed on it, the largest letter on the fuel tank is Honda, on this row of letters, there is a slightly smaller word HERO, and the word CD100 is written on the partial cover.
As long as you look at these, you can know that it is the most famous hero motorcycle of Ah San.
In 1984, in order to enter the Asan market, Honda cooperated with the Hero Group of Asan to establish Hero Motorcycle, and the first product launched was CD100.
At that time, the three market is also two-stroke motorcycles, high fuel consumption, noisy, CD100 as a typical four-stroke motorcycle, immediately caused a sensation, they carefully selected a young man named Salman Khan to ride this motorcycle for a long time, played out the advertising effect, so, this motorcycle became the most popular motorcycle in the country, and the hero group is not short to grow and grow, and finally became the first brand in the three market occupies 50% of the share, the top three motorcycle sales in the world, Even beat Honda.
With Ah San's urine, after success, of course, I want to get rid of Honda alone, I don't know how Honda will feel, I just wanted to sell Honda motorcycles with the help of HERO's sales network, but I didn't expect to cultivate a strong competitor in the end, however, it is also wise for Honda to withdraw from the Ah San market as soon as possible, no matter how much money you make, you can't bring it back.
Now, in 88, HERO motorcycles have entered the African market!
They opened a motorcycle sales point in the Eritrean capital and put on a show.
How many people can be crammed into a bus? The answer to this can be found in the East.
How many people can fit in a train? This can only find Ah San, after all, Ah San not only has sitting tickets and standing tickets, but also hanging tickets.
How many people can a motorcycle carry, but also have to ask Ah San, at this time, on the fuel tank in front of the rider of the motorcycle, a pole is inserted, and there are several belts tied to the pole, front and back, left and right, there are people standing, leaning back, anyway, the belt is tied, there will be no danger, and at the top of this pole, there is a board, on the board is lying on the stomach, spreading his hands, as if to take off.
Together with the motorcyclist, there are eight people in total, all of whom are doing acrobatics on this motorcycle, and just looking at this pomp, you know that only Ah San can do it.
Pity this little motorcycle, with a displacement of only 100 ml, it is still a horizontal cylinder, with so many people, it can only be put in a low speed of first gear, the exhaust pipe of the motorcycle is still emitting black smoke, and the engine is also struggling to turn.
Originally, they performed vigorously, but the crowd dispersed, and the motorcycle could only stop, and one person jumped off the motorcycle, and the rider was on one leg, looking at the people who came by, his eyes were full of excitement.
When he saw one of the old men clearly, he quickly set up his motorcycle, stood beside him, and nodded.
"Your Excellency, what do you think of our motorcycle? By the way, to introduce myself, I am Hrytik Chopra, the overseas sales representative of Ah San Hero Motorcycles. Hritik asked in English, his heart filled with excitement.
Today's action was planned by him a long time ago, that is, to take advantage of the return of Terxiaomei and others to perform, block the way of these people, attract their attention, and then successfully sell this motorcycle.
Their hero motorcycles will not only be sold in Asan domestically, but also overseas! They can't open the markets of developed countries for the time being, so they can only find Asia, Africa and Latin America, and Eritrea as their first stop!
They have that confidence!
Now that Muratu has come down, Teshomee and the others have also come down, the war has ended, and the security situation here is not bad, and Tershome is not afraid of anything.
At this time, looking at the heroic motorcycle, Te Xiaomei pondered for a moment and looked at a yellow-skinned young man beside him: "Qin, what do you think?" ”
When did there be a yellow man next to this old man who was full of words? Where did it come from? Islanders? Khritic's heart was a little surprised, but he still had a confident smile on his face: "This is our most advanced motorcycle!" ”
"This motorcycle has a design flaw." Qin Feng replied in English.
"This is designed by Honda, how can it be flawed!" Khrytik was not convinced at the moment.
"Didn't you just say that it was your Ah San? How did it become Honda's? ”
"It's a joint venture between our Ah San and Honda, is there any problem?" Hritik gritted his teeth, what the hell is this guy's way of? English is spoken so fluently, it shouldn't be an island country, the island country's tongue can't be rolled, is it an Oriental?
Thinking of this, he had a little more vigilance in his heart, and then looked up into the distance, and he could see that there were trailers hanging behind those tall off-road vehicles, and there were actually motorcycles on the trailers!
Is this a peer? How did it just happen!
"Hmph, you're here to sell motorcycles, and you want to take the high-end route? Where are there advanced motorcycles in the East, do you want to compare? Hritik gritted his teeth.
"There's no need." Qin Feng said: "Uncle Teschau May, we still have important things to discuss, and we can't waste too much time here. ”
Teschaome nodded: "Yes, let's go." ”
"Wait, you haven't made it clear yet, what exactly are the design flaws in our motorcycles? If you don't, it's slander! "Hrytik believes in the quality of his motorcycles, and those motorcycles made in the East can't be compared, he has to find a way, stay with each other, and then compete! Crush each other with absolute quality superiority, and let these sunspots in front of you see whose motorcycle is better!
This is related to whether their hero motorcycle can gain a foothold on the African continent, and they must not back down!
At this time, the sun had already sprinkled the last rays of afterglow on the earth, and the street lights on the street were also lit up, Qin Feng glanced at the other party again: "Okay, then I'll make a long story short, what is your education?" Did you go to college? ”
Hearing this, Khrytik felt as if insulted: "Of course I went to college, my full name is Khrytik Chopra!" You don't know what this last name of mine represents! ”
In Asan, there are high and low people who are born, the most noble is Brahmin, and when you come down is Kshatriya, Chopra, Tiandu Tandon and the like are Kshatriya surnames! They are noble warriors, who have received an advanced education since childhood, how can they not go to college, this guy is clearly insulting.
"Oh, it's good that you went to college, you don't have to be so excited, I didn't ask your last name, so, you should know about gravity, right?"
"Yes, of course I know the gravitational pull of the Earth." "This knowledge is available in secondary school," Hritik said. ”
"Now that you know, why do you still use horizontal motorcycle engines with a displacement of 100 ml?" Qin Feng said: "The engine of this displacement should be vertical!" ”
Motorcycle engines have the saying of water cooling and air cooling, which has a heat sink, that is a proper air cooling, the layout of the heat sink is not the same, some are in front of the shiny chrome partial cover, this is the horizontal engine, some are above, this is the vertical type, the former piston reciprocating horizontally, the latter piston reciprocating vertically.
Generally speaking, small displacement motorcycle engines are horizontal, after all, this space-saving, the common Jialing 70 is a typical representative, and above 100 ml, it will generally be made upright, because it can't be put down horizontally, and the distance between the front and rear is too long.
In fact, there is not much difference between vertical and horizontal, you can take a look at BMW motorcycles, which use a two-cylinder opposed engine, that is, a proper horizontal large-displacement engine, and only Qin Feng, here is a serious nonsense, ridiculing Ah San's motorcycle.
The horizontal type is the low-end type, and the high-end type is vertical!
Hritik gritted his teeth: "What's wrong with using the horizontal type?" What does this have to do with Earth's gravity? ”
"Alas, how did you go to college, I said it so clearly, you still don't know." Qin Feng said: "In the horizontal engine, the piston moves in the horizontal direction, and under the action of the earth's gravity, the pressure below is definitely greater than the pressure above, and for a long time, it will cause the wear below to be greater than the above." ”
He said while making a gesture, everyone understands this truth, isn't it just walking and falling to blame the earth's gravity, if this force is reversed, people should fall to the sky.
"Small displacement engine, the piston is relatively small, this wear is not large, so you can use the horizontal type, with the increase of displacement, the quality of the piston is getting bigger and bigger, and the wear will of course be serious." Qin Feng continued: "The 100cc engine, except for Honda's win100 motorcycle for women made in Southeast Asia, I have never seen a horizontal engine. What did you just say, this motorcycle is Honda technology, could it be that women's motorcycle? ”
Honda, win100! Hearing this, Khritic's mind was in a trance, could it really be so?
In the 80s, Honda began to focus on the development of the Southeast Asian market, they found that the road conditions in Southeast Asian countries are not good, and there are many women who go to the fields to farm, and they need a motorcycle with a simple structure and reliable performance that is convenient for women to drive in the road.
The displacement can not be too large, otherwise the weight is too large, the structure can not be complicated, the horizontal 100 cc engine is the best solution, so, Honda's win100 motorcycle came out like this, however, it turns out that they still did not look at the market, Southeast Asia's favorite is the bending beam motorcycle, so, this motorcycle was not promoted.
Then, they cooperated with Ah San, this CD100 engine, and the Win100 engine is exactly the same, directly take the doctrine.
Qin Feng's volume was very high, and Muratu helped translate, and soon, the big guys knew that this motorcycle was actually ridden by a woman! In Southeast Asia, where women work in the fields and ride motorcycles, which woman in Africa has such qualifications? We are all men, how can we ride a woman's motorcycle!
"No, no, you talk nonsense!" Faced with Qin Feng's splashing of dirty water, Khritic was furious: "You are slandering, saying that our horizontal engine is worn, and the vertical one is not worn?" ”
"Of course, the vertical piston rotates vertically, not only will it not wear out, but gravity will also help every time the piston drops in height, so the explosive power of the vertical engine will be stronger." Qin Feng said: "Since you have gone to college, you should know this basic knowledge. ”
The so-called explosive power is just an individual feeling, generally speaking, the displacement of the vertical engine is large, and the explosive power is naturally large, however, some people will ignore the displacement factor, and promote the strong explosiveness of the vertical engine, because of gravity, the piston is easier to be sucked down Yunyun, now, Qin Feng took out this set of folk rhetoric and ridiculed this Ah San, and the other party was really speechless, because this sound like it makes sense.
"Hmph, don't talk about this, we're still Bibi, our motorcycle can fit nine people, how much can your motorcycle fit?"
Up to now, Qin Feng has not revealed his identity as a motorcycle dealer, but, in the eyes of Hritic, Qin Feng is here to compete with him, he decided to bypass these theories to play actual combat, when it comes to actual combat, Ah San's motorcycle has never lost!
Qin Feng glanced at him: "What is compared, no need to compare, if you are not convinced, just disassemble the engine to see if it is worn." If it is demolished, we will stay and see, if not, we will leave, we still have important things. ”
Khrytik gritted his teeth: "Okay, dismantle it, whoever is afraid of whom!" ”
After speaking, Hritik beckoned to his companion behind him: "Take the tool and take the engine of my motorcycle apart!" ”
After just a long day of fighting, the motorcycle engine has cooled down and can be completely disassembled.
Moreover, the engine of the motorcycle is small and simple, and when a few socket wrenches are played, the top cover is removed, and the inside is very smooth.
"See? It's very shiny inside, and like new, where there are signs of wear! ”
"It's the piston that's worn, it's not the cylinder."
"Okay, then let's remove the pistons!"
Soon, the piston connecting rods were removed, and Hritik took the shiny piston and showed it to Teschaome and others: "Everyone see, this piston is very clean, the same as new, absolutely no wear!" This person just now is slandering! ”
Syllable!
Qin Feng was sitting on the side of Mazha watching the excitement at this time, and suddenly seemed to have reacted to something, and slapped him on the thigh: "Yes, this motorcycle is new, and the wear and tear generally takes 20,000 kilometers to appear, thanks to you for reminding me!" If the new one is not worn, the quality is too poor, you better install it back, and let's see after running 20,000 kilometers. ”
"You, you're talking nonsense!" Khrytik is angry, you said the wear and tear, let us take it apart, after dismantling, it was said that it was a new car, you said it earlier! Let's take it apart in vain!
"Hmph, 20,000 kilometers is also good, but unfortunately, it will be a few years later."
For the road conditions in Africa, a motorcycle can run at a speed of thirty or forty kilometers per hour, but 20,000 kilometers has to run for several years.
"In this case, you install it, and then hit the throttle to the end, run it for an hour and then take it apart, and if it doesn't wear out, I'll take back what I just said and apologize to you."
"That's what you said!" Hritik gritted his teeth and said, "Let's let you throttle for an hour!" This also shows the quality of our hero motorcycles! ”
At this time, the onlookers came up again, and when they heard about what happened here, they were all amazed.
The motorcycle was quickly loaded, and Hritik had people fill up the gas, and then kicked the starting lever, which caught fire in one fell swoop, fully demonstrating the excellent performance of the motorcycle! With a smile on his face, he began to twist the throttle, but with a small twist, his face changed.
The noise of the motorcycle has become significantly louder, and the vibration has also become louder, and the engine of this Honda motorcycle does not seem to have had such an accident, what is going on?
Qin Feng had a smile on his face, Ah San, you finally fell for it, right? After tossing for a long time, Lao Tzu just wants you to disassemble the engine and install it again, Honda's engine, can you disassemble and install it?
