Automotive Black Technology Chapter 275: : I am also a celebrity, okay? (2
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
In addition to Mazda, both old sports car brands like Rolls-Royce Fast and Alfa Romeo, as well as brands like Chevrolet and Barker that have never made sports cars at all, all use TT as their brand name. For reference, I look covetously at the car market for young women.
No way, who made TT too popular?
In less than five days, one thousand sales and a turnover of more than 500 million! The huge profits and market prospects contained here are enough to make a company excited.
Originally, they only had Linyuan Xianyu.
But when they saw that Zhengshin really kept his promise and no longer continued production after the first batch of 1,000 units was sold out, these car companies were extremely happy.
What a great opportunity!
Alfa Romeo China CEO Hobrek opened the champagne directly at the company's internal meeting.
And commented that Zhengxin’s limited sales will become “an absolutely classic negative marketing case in the history of automobiles in this century.”
Afterwards, he described Zhengxin and Li Fanyu with words that he thought were humorous but were actually playful and frivolous, such as "I am willing to make wedding dresses for others, and I am a live Lei Feng in the automobile industry."
At the end of the meeting, Hobrek even used the words "Zhengxin has opened up a new way of thinking for us" to describe the opportunities facing Alfa Romeo and ended the entire meeting.
Alfa Romeo itself is known for its sports cars and performance cars, and its reserve of sports car models is very rich.
If you see such a good opportunity, you will naturally not miss it.
After some research, Hobrek also submitted a plan to the head office like Mazda's Maori Benefit.
But unlike Mazda, after all...Alfa Romeo still has a face.
They don't have the thick skin and the brainpower to replace a sedan with a sports car shell and sell it as a sports car.
From this point of view, there is a reason why Alfa Romeo cannot outsell Mazda in China...
But when it comes to sports car research and development, whether it is in terms of models and technology reserves, or in terms of the number and quality of R&D engineers, this Italian brand is infinitely better than Mazda.
So with a clear market target, and using the TT, a competitive model that has been discontinued, as a reference, Alfa Company immediately started research and development of a new sports car.
The new model is tentatively named Lamondo. In Italian, it means lover.
After careful discussion, in the end, the Ramondo is almost a replica of the TT in terms of performance and body size; the estimated price is about 500,000 yuan, 4200 mm long, 1800 mm wide, and the wheelbase is also Almost the same as TT, 2500 mm.
Only in terms of power, the stubborn Italian engineers disagreed with the 2.0L standard set by the company and firmly stated that as long as it is still called a sports car, it must use a large-displacement self-priming engine!
So, it is different from the 2.0T turbocharged engine of TT. Lamondo is equipped with a 3.0L V6 self-priming engine.
But because of cost issues, this V6 engine is not actually new. But as early as 1996, it was an old guy that was mounted on the Alfa Romeo 156GTA.
But just because the model is old, it doesn’t mean it has poor performance.
There are some old guys who have a loud nickname. That nickname is called classic.
Although this sentence is not universal, it is absolutely appropriate for this engine.
V6 cylinder, 24 valves, 4 camshafts, displacement 3200CC, maximum output horsepower reaches 250 horses.
The above are the data of this Alfa Romeo self-developed engine.
The biggest feature of this engine, which once gave 156GTA a high reputation, is not only based on these data!
It has an extremely complex recent hose air collecting tube chamber. Through technical means that were ahead of the times at the time, it improved the recent air pressure and vortex, greatly improving the air intake efficiency.
A by-product of the application of this technology is that this 3.0L engine has a unique intake sound similar to "crocodile burps".
This voice alone has won Alfa Romeo a large number of fans and loyal users!
It can be said that no matter how long this engine has been in use, in the eyes of Alfa Romeo engineers, it is the most unique one.
After learning about the research and development requirements this time and the decision made by the senior management to save costs and maintain performance, the engineers took this old guy out without hesitation.
They are ready to use "crocodile burps" to conquer thousands of beauties in China.
……
Tiancheng, a unique restaurant.
Li Fanyu, Zhou Qingyu and Ma Rao were toasting in celebration.
Ma Rao's new film has been completed, and he swears to God that this is definitely the most satisfying film he has ever made.
Damn it, it was so smooth from beginning to end without the dictation of investors. It was really great for Tate!
So after finishing filming, Ma Rao returned to the capital and sent the new film to Optoelectronics for review, and then came to Tiancheng.
In fact, according to his plan, he should come to see Li Fanyu after finishing filming. Now that the movie is finished, I should at least give the co-investor Li Fanyu an overview of the movie.
But when it comes to the **** film review process, Ma Rao, an old man, is still furious.
Dealing with the Censorship Section of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is not a pleasant experience. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "the three corpse gods are jumping violently, and the five internal organs are filled with smoke".
Because this new film is not yet titled "A Perfect World", some settings in it are slightly sensitive.
There are three main points that have been questioned by radio and television; first, the protagonist is a fugitive. This is a completely marginalized group of people! Second, at the beginning of the movie, it revolves around the plot after the prison escape. What a complete crime! Third, during the run, the protagonist also kidnapped the little **** played by Lou Lu, and along the way, he also developed Stockholm Syndrome, which is close to the relationship between father and daughter! This...well, actually the people at Radio and Television didn't know what was wrong with this section. But it just doesn’t look pleasing to the eye.
Because this script was carefully choreographed by Ma Rao, and his goal was even more ambitious, directly targeting awards at the three major European film festivals, so he was not prepared to compromise on the radio and television's revision opinions this time.
After using all his efforts and convincing the radio and television review team one by one, Ma Rao found that he had been promoted.
I scolded the person next door. With this mentality, it would be a pity not to become the abbot of Shaolin Temple!
With such twists and turns, it was not until a week after the completion of the project that Ma Rao finally came to Tiancheng, ready to tell Li Fanyu the details of the investment expenses.
Brothers are still settling accounts. Ma Rao has been in the entertainment industry for a long time and has seen too many cases. Whether brothers or friends, they are all fine. But when it comes to money, that's not the case.
In the entertainment industry, everyone said that Ma Rao was an anomaly. Why do you say that? On the one hand, this person attaches too much importance to friendship, but on the other hand, he is very clear about money.
Too much friendship makes it impossible to survive in the entertainment industry.
But distinguishing too clearly is not good for friends.
So there are always some people who have worked with Ma Rao who complain in one way or another, saying that he has a split personality.
But only the big guys and old people know that this is the power of Ma Rao.
How do you say that sentence? Become a villain first and then a gentleman. Everyone calls you a gentleman. First a gentleman, then a villain, and in the end, they are all **** villains.
Li Fanyu is different from him. He no longer hangs out in the entertainment industry and doesn't care about money. This film cast Ma Rao out of sheer loyalty.
Ma Rao always remembered Li Fanyu's kindness in his heart. So this time, in addition to handing over accounts to Li Fanyu, I also came here to give him a good reward. Liaobiao gave me financial support during the filming process, and gave up my trust without hesitation.
But he came all the way to Tiancheng, but secretly he still had a third reason... it was for Lou Lu.
It is said that during the filming process, Ma Rao was completely convinced by this little loli.
That acting skill really made him, a famous director who is used to seeing spring flowers and autumn moon, praise him again and again; even though the child is young, as long as he explained the plot clearly to her, he could really give her all kinds of emotions. Extremely accurate.
Few of the A-list and super-A-list female stars I have worked with before have reached her level of understanding.
During the filming process, there were many times when Lou Lu’s occasional flashes of brilliance made Ha Lu panic—the pace was too fast and the acting was too realistic, and she couldn’t keep up.
So Ma Rao really has very high expectations for Lou Lu.
He really hopes to have contact with her parents; he can provide opportunities to cultivate this child.
In what he said to the crew in private, if you rub it well and become a movie queen, it won’t be a problem.
Unfortunately, Lou Lu’s parents went abroad just last week.
Ma Rao could only express his thoughts to Little Loli's mother through international long distance.
However, the reply I got was... "We listen to the child and see what her opinion is. If she agrees, as long as it doesn't delay her studies, there will be no problem."
Ma Rao was really speechless about such a free-range education and giving children a high degree of autonomy in education.
So...what is Lou Lu’s opinion?
Little Lolita doesn’t want to be an actress!
Her dream is to be a racing driver who can beat the sky and race to the end! It's better to be the F1 kind...
The first thing Lou Lu did when she returned to Tiancheng was not to go home. Instead, she immediately rushed to Zhengxin Company to collect debt from Li Fanyu.
Don’t forget... Li Fanyu promised to teach her how to drive after filming the movie in order to get rid of this guy.
So, Ma Rao, who had longing in mind, could only ask Li Fanyu again - let him talk about opening Lou Yatou, so that she can be a good actress with peace of mind...
But this matter... his parents didn't care, so Li Fanyu didn't dare to intervene rashly, but since he couldn't resist Ma Rao's stalking and emotional kidnapping, he could only say give it a try.
After several days of continuous struggle, Zhou Qingyu finally finished the brand affairs. I happened to catch up with Ma Rao in Tiancheng, and it was finally possible to get together with Li Fanyu.
So, today's situation has emerged.
Under the dusk of two waiters and a group of surprised diners, two men and two women Shi Shiran walked into this stylish restaurant.
Two boys, one in middle school and one in youth, and two girls, one older and one younger.
The painting style is indescribably harmonious.
When the waiter brought the tea, her hands were shaking slightly - she was so excited.
Tiancheng is a place that is big or small, so for big stars like Ma Rao and Zhou Qingyu to come to this small restaurant to eat, it is something she has never dreamed of in her life.
"Hello...Hello...what would you like, please? Our special dishes today are..." The little girl was halfway through naming the dishes, and finally she couldn't hold it any longer.
She blushed and took out a small book from her arms, "So, can I ask you to sign your name first?"
Ma Rao, who was closest to her, smiled, nodded and said it was no problem, then crossed the pen and paper and signed the names of a dragon and a phoenix.
Zhou Qingyu's signature is much more delicate; after the elegant and lively traditional Chinese character "Yu", he adds his English abbreviation Jc.
Different from the casualness and calmness of these two people, this is the first time that Li Fanyu has encountered such a high-level thing as signing someone's autograph...
Suddenly, a good feeling about myself emerged that "my brother is a big shot too".
But just when this guy wanted to take the small book, sign it for the waiter, and show off his signature that he had practiced for a long time.
The book... was ruthlessly taken back...
"Hey, hey, I haven't signed it for you yet?" Li Fanyu was instantly dissatisfied.
Li Fanyu is a regular visitor here, otherwise he would not have brought Zhou and Ma to eat here.
The waiters here almost know him. These young girls at the bottom of society don't care much about business matters.
I just heard the boss lady say that this guy is the boss of some kind of car company. But Li Fanyu usually doesn't have any airs. Every time he comes to eat or treat, the friends around him look like they are either students or relatives. They don't have the temperament of a rich person at all.
So...no one really treats him as a piece of cake.
Seeing his dissatisfied look, the waiter smiled; "Mr. Li, I had your signature the last time I swiped my card!"
Li Fanyu frowned, "Don't you have to give the credit card receipt to the boss lady? This time it's different. I'll sign one for you!"
The little girl was not happy to let him doodle on this piece of paper that had become precious because of Ma Rao and Zhou Qingyu's signatures.
But... he is a regular customer after all, so if he is not allowed to sign... it would be really hard to save his face,
So I could only hand over the notebook with a reluctant expression.
Looking at her painful expression, Li Fanyu felt his heart bleed...
Mom! I am also a celebrity, okay? (To be continued.)
