Born In England

In a flash, another few months passed.

In the blink of an eye, we came to the second half of 1900.

It is the annual International Automobile Salon Automobile Exhibition Conference, and the location of this exhibition conference is in Berlin, Germany!

This international auto show originated from the International Automobile Salon in 1898 and was held every year until 1976.

"It's been a while since I came to Berlin." Li Lin looked at the city with a little emotion.

This time, as the big boss, he didn't need to come. His car company's participation in the auto show can be handed over to his subordinates. But it's rare for him to have nothing to do, so he plans to take his wife and daughter over for a stroll, just to relax.

A few days later.

The exhibition site of the Automobile Exhibition Conference of the International Automobile Salon.

This year, there are quite a few car companies participating, about 30 or so.

Of course, there is still water in it, and some large and medium-sized automobile workshops have come to participate.

Of course, the real big car companies still have more than a dozen of them.

Each car company has a special showroom for displaying their cars for exhibition.

In the showroom of BMW Motor Company, that is, in the showroom of Li Lin Motor Company, there are 2 cars.

They are all called three lines.

At present, they have only developed a model.

I have to say that there are quite a lot of people who come to watch this international auto show. Thousands of people came to watch the scene, and as time goes by, there will be more people.

Not only the local citizens, but also many dignitaries who want to have the idea of ​​buying a car.

"Boss, I went to see the cars of other car companies just now. They are really ugly! After reading it, I think our car is really handsome." After walking around, Li Zhi came back full of confidence. full way.

"Well, of course!" Li Lin smiled.

The shape of the current car basically follows the shape of the carriage, so it is called the "horse carriage" without horses.

So the appearance is really indescribable!

Even if the appearance of the cars manufactured by some car companies has changed slightly,

But the change is still not too big.

In this era, it was difficult for horse-shaped cars to withstand the invasion of wind and rain, until Ford Motor Company produced a new type of Ford Model T in 1915. The cabin part of this car was like a large box, called " box car".

In order to increase the speed of the car, people began to reduce the height of the car to reduce air resistance. However, due to the reduced roof height affecting forward visibility, this method was eventually abandoned in favor of a method of increasing power. In this way, the engine changes from a single cylinder to 4 cylinders, 6 cylinders, and 8 cylinders. The cylinders are arranged in a row, and the engine cover also becomes longer. A typical example is the appearance of the Alfa Romeo car produced in 1931.

As a high-speed car, the box car is not ideal, because its resistance greatly hinders the speed of the car, so people began to study a new car model - streamlined.

On the other hand, Li Lin's BMW car doesn't look like a carriage at all. It has a roof, doors, wiper, windshield, and an exterior design similar to a Beetle, which is quite streamlined.

From the appearance, compared with the cars of other car companies, the appearance is of course very fashionable, avant-garde and exquisite!

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Li Lin's BMW to attract many people to stop and watch!

"What brand of car is this? Why haven't I heard of it!" A potbellied white man came over to take a look, and was immediately attracted by the three-series BMW in front of him!

Different from the appearance of the 'carriage', its overall shape caught his eye!

Especially the logo on the front of the car (Ferrari's logo), which gives people a huge sense of uniqueness.

These days, many cars don't pay much attention to the car logos. Many car logos don't have any, and some of them are very small, the size of your thumb, and you can't even read them!

"Is this glass?"

"This, isn't this a parasol? This is, what design is this?"

The crowd of onlookers began to increase!

"It's so beautiful!"

"Compared to other cars, this car is really too big!"

Seeing that there were close to hundreds of onlookers, the staff on Li Lin's side began to introduce.

All salesmen with big beauties began to show their three-inch tongues.

"Beautiful lady, can you introduce us?" A gentleman asked the beauty.

"Of course, our car is called a BMW car, and the model is called a three-series! Our car uses a four-cylinder engine with more horsepower and faster speed! Our speed is definitely faster than other car companies' one-cylinder engines. !"

"In addition, the cars you have seen before almost only have a canopy to protect the sun and rain, but we designed a hard-top canopy design, which can well protect the sun and rain. Also, it has a four-door design and a windshield ..."

"Let's take a look at our two rearview mirrors. It is a device independently invented by our BMW Motor Company. It is used to view the conditions of the cars behind us..."

"Our seats are all made of cowhide seats, which are more comfortable to sit on!"

"Look at its appearance, it is different from the design of the carriage. It has a more streamlined feel. You will ask, what is the effect of the streamlined sense? The streamlined sense is not only beautiful, it can also reduce air resistance, allowing the car to drive It's more stable and faster..."

After the introduction wave after wave, the people watching around were shocked again and again!

"Four-cylinder engine? More power? I've been discussing the car at home for a long time. The power is too poor and the speed is very slow. Sometimes it's too late!"

"The exterior design is really nothing to say, I want to buy one!"

"The tires are also designed in a big way, and they look even better."

"I see, I really like it!"

A group of people are all talking, most of them are all kinds of praise.

At this time, people from other car companies nearby also sent people to take a look. When they saw this BMW car, they were all shocked.

"This design is really the pinnacle of our cognition!"

"We should plagiarize, oh no, learn!"

"It's really a bold design!"

"BMW Motor Company? A new company?"

I have to say that on the first day of the car exhibition, Li Lin's BMW car became the focus of the audience! No way, whether it is inside or outside, it beats all the cars of the same period!

Even, many dignitaries wanted to place orders to order cars in person, but they were all rejected by Li Lin.

Because he announced that at that time, BMW car sales points will be opened in major cities such as Berlin, Paris, and London, and you can buy them there!
