Chapter 564 Tempted but Not Dared (Part 1)
Guo Tailai proposed to launch a new red flag car during the military parade of the century, which was Guo Tailai's whimsy. Although it wasn't impossible for Guo Tailai, from Mr. Zhang's point of view, it was absolutely impossible.
There is only three months in total, how can we have the time to develop a new car and make a few prototypes? Even if it is built, can the stability and reliability of the prototype be guaranteed? Can you guarantee that there will be no problems on that highly anticipated occasion?
As long as he has this worry, Mr. Zhang will definitely never consider Guo Tailai's suggestion. Guo Tailai could only settle for the next best thing, and strive to build a brand new inspection car for the supreme leader himself. He also wanted to use this method to intuitively express his gratitude to the party and the country.
You know, Guo Tailai did not cause less trouble when he went abroad these few times, and they all helped Guo Tailai clean up his mess at home. In the past, Guo Tailai expressed his gratitude by doing as much as possible for the country. Now that this matter happened, Mr. Zhang happened to be in charge of the big red flag of FAW, so Guo Tailai took advantage of the opportunity to bring up this matter.
"You built an all-titanium Rolls-Royce in a week?" Mr. Zhang was stunned. How could it be possible?
Even for the master craftsmen of FAW, if they really want to produce a Hongqi car by hand, it will take several months of work. That is still using ordinary materials, not titanium alloys. The difficulty of processing titanium alloys can increase this time several times. Guo Tailai only spent a week alone?
"It's not a secret, is it?" Guo Tai looked at the time. It should still be around noon in Europe. He picked up the phone and called Mr. Morris.
After a few pleasantries with Mr. Morris, Guo Tailai asked if Mr. Gu Lian's car had been delivered. Mr. Morris was a little surprised, but still told Guo Tailai that the car had been officially delivered to Mr. Gu Lian yesterday, and Rolls-Royce also held a special handover ceremony. These things have been notified to Guo Tailai's assistant, and there are live reports, which should have been sent to Guo Tailai.
After hanging up on Mr. Morris, Guo Tailai called Lin Jiayi again. Sure enough, Lin Jiayi received the notification from Mr. Morris, but she had already been told by Guo Tailai that there was no need to notify her about the entertainment for the time being. Knowing that Guo Tailai had just returned to China, it was definitely impossible to make a special trip to the UK to attend the handover ceremony, so it was just treated as an ordinary event. deal with. However, all the materials have been sent back to Zhengyifang Technology, and the fax should already be in Guo Tailai's office.
"That car has already been reported in Europe." Putting down the phone, Guo Tailai smiled and said, "If you want to see it, I have a fax in my office."
Obviously, Guo Tailai will not tell lies about this matter, and Brother Hai knows that Guo Tailai's whereabouts must be recorded by the relevant national departments, as long as he checks, he will know. He was quite tempted, but Brother Hai knew that he had no right to speak on this matter.
Anyway, it was a very enjoyable meal. He has an appetite for Guo Tailai, and Brother Hai successfully introduced Mr. Zhang and Guo Tailai to each other, and eliminated the misunderstanding, and there is a possibility of cooperation. In particular, Guo Tailai may also get a license to design and manufacture cars in China, helping Guo Tailai solve this problem. I believe that the next cooperation, as long as FAW does not go too far, should have a great possibility of success.
"I don't know whether I should agree to you." Mr. Zhang is a little bit undecided now. From a safe point of view, now that the inspection car has been handed over, it is the best choice not to worry too much. But from a personal emotional point of view, he also felt that Guo Tai was right. It is indeed a bit ashamed to refit a few old cars on such an important occasion.
"Old Zhang, you can settle this matter after you say it?" Brother Hai saw Mr. Zhang's entanglement from the side, shook his head with a wry smile, and then reminded him.
Mr. Zhang reacted instantly. That's right, this matter is not at all in Mr. Zhang's hands! Then what is he still struggling with? The most I can do is to reflect this matter with the above. Naturally, the high-level executives of the final assembly will discuss and make a decision on this. Which green onion am I?
"I'll go back and report it!" Mr. Zhang finally felt that he was not entangled. Anyway, if I report it, I won't take any responsibility, so let the people above have a headache!
"By the way, Fatty, if you design a new model, can it be produced within three months?" Brother Hai asked insinuatingly from the side. Since Mr. Zhang wants to report, we must let him know more about the situation, right?
"As long as the preparation is sufficient and the raw materials are not lacking." Guo Tailai gave a prerequisite first, and then he replied with certainty: "When I was making the Zonda Model T at Pagani, it took me two months. Some of them The technology patent has also been completed, so there is no need to develop it from scratch.”
Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up again. I don’t know the Rolls-Royce T-marked car, but the Zonda Model T is famous. Guo Tailai only spent so much time abroad, so it can’t be fake, right? In other words, Guo Tailai is likely to complete the design of a new model within three months.
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang suddenly became excited. If Guo Tailai can really make a noble and luxurious car, then maybe he can really think about some possibilities that people can't refuse! Like that car. The more he thought about it, the more excited Mr. Zhang became. He didn't even eat or drink, so he just sat there thinking.
Brother Hai couldn't see it anymore, so he kicked Mr. Zhang secretly, and Mr. Zhang woke up from that reverie.
"By the way, Xiao Guo, don't you have some patents on automobile technology?" Mr. Zhang remembered another item that he wanted to cooperate with today, and hurriedly said it while he was still awake: "Look , we FAW want to authorize, is that okay?"
"Of course!" Guo Tailai laughed: "Mr. Zhang gave me money, which is a great thing! As long as the price is right, there is no problem at all. You can directly send someone to talk to Mr. Mi from our company!" With that, Guo Tailai sent Mi Feifei's contact information to Mr. Zhang.
After eating here, it can basically be said that everyone is happy. Mr. Zhang said everything he wanted to say, Guo Tailai also expressed his position, and there is no problem with the cooperation. It's just that something unexpected happened. Guo Tailai, a young man who dared to do something, dared to think, but what he said made Mr. Zhang hesitate several times. Mr. Zhang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he really is a young man who is not afraid of anything, even dare to use that car to make such an idea.
Guo Tailai left by car, but Mr. Zhang lost his composure. After Brother Hai asked some more about Guo Tailai, he finally couldn't help it. In front of Brother Hai, he called the leader and reported everything that happened today.
