Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 357 release date

  An Feng naturally agrees with the plan to have a flagship model.

He loves the house, not to mention that it was his idea to acquire Maserati in the first place. In a sense, he is the boss, and he naturally hopes that the company's brands can go long. Competition banner.

  Maserati wants to use electric vehicles to establish a new brand image. It has to be like a "horse and bull". There are corresponding competing models. Ferrari has 458, Lamborghini has Huracan, Ferrari has F12, and Lamborghini has Aventador. That's the case with Maserati's current GT-MC.

  Cars, competitions, and discussions about Maserati's new flagship. Originally, Duke and the others wanted to get some inside information from An Feng, but he didn't know much. When I went back in the afternoon, I chatted with Bruno on the phone, and he admitted that Maserati was developing a flagship.

  An Feng's gossip came, asking about the name, structure, motivation and so on.

Bruno did not hide: "The plan is to design a mid-engine supercar, the body follows the aerodynamic shape, and the power is expected to be around 1100 horsepower, aiming at Ferrari's new flagship F80, the name may be called Esplosione, Italian for 'hurricane' the meaning of."

It turns out that it is not really called "La Maserati" in the legend. It seems that after the separation, the close cooperation cannot be maintained. An Feng thinks that the name Esplosione is very good—at least it is much better than Maserati's previous name. To be honest, Italians are lazy.

   It’s like the Chinese translation of the “President” model. Its Italian is “Quattroporte”, which means “four doors”. Then Maserati has a concept SUV called “Cinqueporte”. It looks very tall, right? Actually it means "five gates".

  Catch Minger China's independent car companies also give the new car a "three-door" to try, and guarantee to be sprayed to death.

  So the name of the new car is good, Bruno also broke the news that the new car may not be able to do wind tunnel tests-this is only Ferrari, but they have separated. However, An Feng thinks it can be borrowed, and Fiat has to ask GP Energy for the battery! Otherwise, it will be cut off due to insufficient production capacity next year.

But there is also good news, they can’t use wind tunnels, but they have “Ares”, which is a big killer. It uses supercomputers for aerodynamic research and development, and uses computer fluid mechanics technology to simulate more comprehensive and extreme conditions. Wind speed, high-speed body changes.

  The current top F1 teams, except for the wind tunnel, are using computers to simulate.

  Maserati can use supercomputers, which will greatly shorten the development time. Angler Industries will also develop electric motors for them, which may use superconductor technology. Bruno hopes that the Esplosione model can have 1100 horsepower, which means that the two electric motors must be very strong.

  An Feng was a little suspicious: "Dual motors in the middle? Are you sure you can squeeze out so much horsepower?"

Bruno said: "We have also considered the idea of ​​an FE racing car, installing an electric motor on each wheel, and the combination of four motors has a stronger horsepower, but FE is a formula, and its shape can be very streamlined. If it is used in a civilian sports car, we Poor control of front-to-rear weight ratio, brakes and aerodynamic shape issues."

An Feng thought about it. If the four wheels are equipped with motors, the horsepower is indeed not small. Civilian cars or large transport vehicles can be considered for use, but sports cars pursue speed. Although the horsepower is large, the shape is not easy to coordinate, at least it cannot be like an equation. , appearance is compromised for performance.

   I'm afraid there is still a long way to go.

  An Feng said: "I will ask the company to help in the research and development of these aspects."

   Maserati is now covered by GP, Angus Industries and Superconductor, and the conditions are even better than before.

Bruno was very happy after receiving An Feng's affirmative answer. He knew that An Feng was not an ordinary shareholder. According to this person's behavior, he has a very large weight in GP company, and almost no one can stop him from doing what he wants. Now There is also superconductor company's strong material to help out, which is naturally strong enough.

After finishing the call with An Feng, Bruno contacted the Italian headquarters. He attached great importance to An Feng's attitude, and the headquarters also agreed that part of the design of the new model should be carried out in California. There are royal race tracks, supercomputers, and high-tech industries. Conditions are actually better.

  …

  An Feng also waited until the day of the Monterey auction.

This time his target is two weight models, Ferrari 250GT-California, McLaren F1-GTR-97, the starting price is very high, Ferrari’s starting price is 8.5 million US dollars, McLaren’s starting price is 5.5 million US dollars, and the popularity is also very high , there are private collectors and businesses present.

   But no matter what, as long as someone sends it to the auction booth, it is almost An Feng's.

There are also Rolls-Royce models for auction, including the classic Gintama. Unfortunately, An Feng only likes old classic sports cars and does not like classic cars that fall apart quickly. This time he simply took the long wheelbase 250GT-California at 9.3 million , and the McLaren racing car was also settled for $6.1 million.

  This 250GT is a long-wheelbase convertible. According to the traffic laws of the United States, as long as it can still move and stop, it is allowed to be listed on the road, and there is no such thing as scrapping. So An Feng can also go for a drive in the future, but it is estimated that he will not bear it, more than 9 million US dollars!

  …

  At the end of August, An Feng set off for China.

  Wang Le, who couldn't be contacted before, is already in China and is participating in the construction of the authorized store, which is quite caring. Anyway, it doesn't matter to Anfeng, it's selling from franchised stores to consumers, and selling in batches to authorized stores is also selling. The latter has a market and can help an old friend, which is the best of both worlds.

  The cabin of the Global 8000 is as comfortable as ever, and the space to move around relieves the fatigue of flying. After the plane landed at S City International Airport, the bear child was still alive and well. Of course, she has been consuming snacks and refreshments on the plane, and now her belly is full.

   "Mom, I can't walk..." Xiaoyu grabbed her mother's clothes and fell behind.

  Sister sighed: "Let you eat again!"

  In the end, the bear child was taken away sitting on a trolley case... It was getting late, and after a day of rest in the hotel, they flew back to the south tomorrow. An Fengde and his brother-in-law stayed in City S and signed the agreement. By the way, they took a look at the Nokia directly-operated store in City S to appreciate the grand occasion of simultaneous global sales.

Because of Anfeng's idea, the value of mobile phones lies in market value rather than profit, so it is a good idea to take advantage of the opportunity to speculate. Although the first mobile phone has just been launched, Berg is already considering listing... Now the second model is released, it is The low-end version forms a high-low configuration.

Berg held press conferences in Europe and North America in August, showing off the second artifact, which is positioned lower than the R series. In terms of configuration, the function of smashing walnuts has not been pulled down. Ever since Ans Industries sold them the regular version After the 3D printer, the fuselage is easy.

  The chip performance of the integrated CPU and GPU is reduced accordingly, and the battery life is also reduced. You can't let the low-end ones compete with the high-end ones. Considering the surprise for the first time, the press conference focused on the operating system, which is more complete and easier to use this time.

  …

  The next day, Xiongzi and her mother went back first, and the rest of the team joined up.

  Four friends arrived and chose a restaurant to eat and chat while talking about some problems with mobile phones and the company, etc.

Xiang Yang, who is in charge of the company, said: "Let's register a company first, and we can find an agent quickly. The share ratio will be in accordance with our previous negotiation, and then the company will reach an agreement with Berg Company to obtain the authorization, and then we will let each city's authorization The store opened and opened."

   "Succinct enough." An Feng applauded, "Have you considered my company's work?"

  Wu Chao hurriedly shouted to stop: "You big capitalist has already kidnapped our brother Le to the United States, now is the opportunity to make a fortune, so don't kidnap us to the boss!"

  An Feng was unmoved: "The salary is easy to talk about..."

  Xiang Yang said with a smile: "Thank you, but let's talk about the serious business first. Besides, I'm dragging my family along. It's not easy to leave even if I want to."

  An Feng smiled: "Okay, continue."

   Xiang Yang said: "It's really gone, the plan is all in my head, but I don't know how to describe it."

  Wang Le said: "As long as you know how to do it, we shareholders are just waiting for the meat to be eaten, and let you do everything else."

  An Feng nodded: "I agree."

According to the agreement, An Feng's family has 40% of the shares, Wang Le has 30%, Xiang Yang has 25%, Wu Chao has 5%, and because of the preferential treatment of Berg Company, in addition to direct stores in the Chinese market, authorized stores Growth has slowed temporarily, giving them time to prioritize development.

  …

  The next day, they went to the first directly-operated store in S city together to see the release date.

  If it is correct, it will start business this morning and release the second mobile phone. At present, there are already fans waiting in line at the door. Some are young people, but some are a little older. Xiang Yang took a few glances and said, "These are old fans of Nokia, they came from the black and white screen."

  An Feng looked at the line with folding chairs, and was surprised: "I didn't expect that there would be a queue to buy kidney machines at the entrance of the directly-operated store."

Wang Le is not surprised: "Didn't you watch it in New York last time? The scene on the release day in New York is the real horror. There are tents set up in the evening in advance. Before entering the Chinese market, there are people in China who go to foreign countries to queue up to buy , and was investigated by the customs for a lot of human flesh smuggling.”

Xiang Yang, who was very concerned about the matter, also said: "At that time, there was a lot of noise on the Internet, saying that our country had no mobile phones or something. As a result, the power of word-of-mouth **** everything, and Nokia had many potential fans. In fact, China really didn't have such powerful phones, so Looking forward to more."

   While they were talking, the directly-operated store officially opened.

There were cameras and cameras on the scene to record the grand occasion, and the clerks wearing the global unified employee uniforms started to work. The first lucky person who bought the walnut-smashing artifact came out with a happy smile on his face, and showed the exquisite packaging box in his hand to the camera. , with a smug face.

  The people who were waiting next to him also watched enviously.

  And a dramatic scene happened, this buddy was about to say "I'm very excited" to the camera, and with a shake of his hand, he threw the much-anticipated artifact directly to the ground, causing the crowd to burst into laughter. However, Nokia has withstood the test. A fall of this scale...Next time, it will be on the sixth floor!

  An Feng smiled and said, "Isn't this a babysitter?"

   "You are the nurse!" The buddy who made a false alarm carefully checked his artifact.

   Several friends looked at An Feng and laughed too.

The grand occasion of the release day is also staged in various places, including foreign countries, but it is not as popular as the release of the first model. Even now, people’s priority for buying is still the R series that is so powerful that no friends can throw away the computer. . This one is out of stock.
