Chapter 480 Little Ashton Martin

Supercar is here, please subscribe, please give me a monthly pass!

Currently, the supercar cooperation plan between Wang Jiao and General Motors of the United States has reached a deadlock. With Jin Xiaoqiang behind the wheel of the negotiations, Huayang Dynamics maintained a tough attitude for a time.

In fact, the focus of the negotiations is on profit distribution. Of course, the Americans hope to obtain more profits, but this time Huayang Dynamics is even tougher than the last time on Qoros.

After the Paris Auto Show, Jin Xiaoqiang had thoroughly seen the weakness of Americans, especially General Motors, a giant plagued by all kinds of diseases. Although the current size of the other party is still disproportionate compared with Huayang Power, in Jin Xiaoqiang

From Xiaoqiang's point of view, the current GM is nothing to be afraid of.

In the past, he planned to make certain concessions, but now he no longer wants to make any concessions at all, because since he and the Germans began to cooperate, the sincerity shown by the Germans and the many times they have given Huayang Power

The trial made Jin Xiaoqiang understand that in fact, apart from the Americans, the Germans were also a better partner for cooperation.

Although he is still very dissatisfied with the Germans' usual arrogant attitude, when it comes to matters, Americans are indeed inferior to Germans in terms of down-to-earth work.

Moreover, the appetite of Germans is not as big as that of Americans, and Americans' attitude of wanting to get involved in everything really makes Jin Xiaoqiang feel disgusted.

At the beginning, he was still thinking about using this supercar plan to delay the Americans and prevent them from pushing too hard. But later, after understanding the Americans' true and false intentions, he no longer took the Americans seriously.

Here, we are about to enter 2006. In a year's time, GM will probably be hit hard by the financial crisis. As long as it is delayed until then, they probably won't have much time to argue with themselves again.

By then, they would not even have time to save themselves, and there would be no time to compete with themselves, so the negotiation with GM was just put off.

Even if GM disagrees, what can they do if Huayang Power goes it alone this time?

They really didn't dare to push Huayang Dynamics into a hurry, because in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, what would happen if they fell out with General Motors?

The products of Huayang Dynamics are now very popular in the American market, and the brand image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the American people. Moreover, there is a stalemate with General Motors. At worst, they will go to Ford. I am afraid that Ford will come up with products that are not weaker than General Motors.

The cooperation plan is to share the sales of Huayang Power's Qoros models and other ordinary models in the United States. After all, these are businesses with hundreds of millions of profits every year. You don't have to be responsible for production, but you are only responsible for the circulation, so you can get such profits.

Any company would be happy to accept the deal.

So now the negotiations between Wang Jiao and GM have reached a deadlock, but Jin Xiaoqiang does not plan to wait until the conclusion of this negotiation before he starts to get involved in the supercar field.

After all, Huayang Dynamics has the strength and ability to complete this project alone, so there is no need to wait until GM agrees to their conditions before starting research and development work, not to mention their conditions are so harsh.

I believe that GM, which has always been arrogant, will not agree immediately.

Although Nick Reilly was very unhappy, he probably didn't dare to cause trouble. After all, GM still had one billion in funds in the hands of its own Thunderbird company. If he wanted to announce the Thunderbird company,

truth, then he must be prepared to suffer huge losses.

And the most critical point is that this old boy is not that honest. After seeing the extremely high return on investment of his Thunderbird company, this guy continued to invest in his own Thunderbird company.

few.

If he dares to reveal that he is the boss behind Thunderbird and that Thunderbird made huge profits from the Hurricane Katrina disaster, then he may also cause himself a lot of unnecessary trouble.

At that time, I believe that just going to the U.S. Stock Exchange Commission to explain and the internal integrity investigation of General Motors will make him suffer.

Therefore, Jin Xiaoqiang believed that Nick Reilly would not be so stupid as to reveal his trump card.

Now that he has decided to completely ditch GM and Nick Reilly and go it alone, Jin Xiaoqiang must make preparations early. The development of this super sports car is different from ordinary civilian family cars.

This kind of car obviously consumes much more resources than a civilian family car, and because the high-tech content required for such a car is very high, its development and road testing will take a very long time.

Usually, Jin Xiaoqiang designs an ordinary civilian car. It is estimated that it will take about a year until the car is launched. But this super sports car is different. According to Jin Xiaoqiang's estimation, this car will take at least

After about two years of research and development, even if it goes very smoothly, it is estimated that it will take about a year and a half before it can be launched on the market.

After all, this supercar represents a classic and cannot be fooled casually, so if anything goes wrong, it will not only destroy the Huayang Power brand, but will even leave a reason for those foreigners to criticize us Chinese people.

Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't want such bullshit to happen to him because he's just not suitable for high-tech products.

In fact, in Jin Xiaoqiang's mind, he already has a plan for the future super sports car, and this plan is also inseparable from Ford.

Because the first supercar belonging to Huayang Dynamics that he planned to 'design' in his heart was the 50th Anniversary Edition of the Ford Mustang, the appearance of the new generation Ford Mustang 2015 that abandoned the retro version of the original Mustang.

.

And that car was nicknamed Little Ashton Martin by many car fans because of the similarity between the grille and Ashton Martin.

The reason why Jin Xiaoqiang chose such a model to copy is also because this car not only has this style, but it also has a derivative, and this derivative happens to be the 2013 Ford Mondeo Fusion 2013

.

It is such ultra-new styling and the continuation of a series that makes Jin Xiaoqiang very optimistic about this series of models, and at present, just one Qoros model can no longer satisfy his ambition for high-end models.

Although the Qoros car series is currently very popular in the market, it is basically priced as a mid-to-high-end model. In the minds of many people, it is only an above-average level.

The most popular models in the Qoros series are the Qoros 6 and Qoros 8. As for the Qoros 9 series of large sedans that were previously launched at the Paris Motor Show, they are currently the most popular in the domestic and international markets.

Sales are average.

It cannot be said that it is not good, but compared with the other two mid-size cars, the sales volume of Qoros 9 seems a bit embarrassing.

Even in China, the sales of this car can only be said to be above average, tepid and not popular.

Therefore, Jin Xiaoqiang is serious about entering the high-end car market this time. Not only does he want to make a fuss about high-end supercars, but he also plans to put down capital even when it comes to real high-end luxury cars.

The real rivals of this car are not only Mercedes-Benz's S-series and BMW's 7-series, it also has to face the challenges of Jaguar's x-series and even models of the Maserati Quattroporte level, so it must be done in terms of appearance.

Complete the article and come up with enough gimmicks to attract attention.

So Jin Xiaoqiang chose Ford, which had unveiled two cars at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show in his previous life. When those two cars were first unveiled, they immediately made many consumers feel amazing.

One of these is the latest generation 2015 Ford Mustang prepared by Ford to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Ford Mustang, while the other is the new Mondeo, which is planned to be launched in 2013.

To be honest, when these two new cars were unveiled in front of consumers, if people did not look at the logos of these two cars and only looked at the front faces of these two cars, I am afraid that the first thing they would think of was Ah

Shiton Martin, that classic British brand.

In particular, the exaggerated front faces of these two cars and the design of the grille are very reminiscent of Ashton Martin's vantage model that was just launched on the market two years ago.

However, that vantage model was only born in 2009. As for the current Ashton Martin, it is still in the hands of Ford. However, due to poor management, this brand is already facing problems in Ford's hands.

On the verge of bankruptcy.

A brand with a history of nearly a hundred years is still likely to go bankrupt in the hands of Americans, which shows the ability of Americans to mess around over the years.

The current Ashton Martin brand is already on its last legs. The factory in Newport, England, has not been operating for more than a year, and they have not launched a product for five consecutive years.

What new model is there? All of this is thanks to Ford in the United States.

Since the birth of the Ashton Martin brand, it has actually been focusing on designing and producing high-end luxury models. Their products mainly include convertibles, racing cars, and limited-edition sports cars.

Unfortunately, this brand had an ill-fated fate and was not very smooth. Later, in the 1960s, it had a short period of glory, but it soon sank under the attack of Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and other brands.

In 1987, this brand was acquired by Ford of the United States and began to become a sub-brand of Ford. In a short period of time, Ford made this car popular through capital injections, vigorous advertising, etc.

Back into people's sight again.

At that time, the advertising method that most attracted people's attention was probably James Bond's car in the 007 movie.

Unfortunately, in recent years, as Ford's products have encountered challenges around the world and have been losing ground in the market, Ford has no energy to devote more attention to this luxury brand.

Since the beginning of 2005, this brand has been in the negative news of discontinuing production due to poor management, and Ford is also planning to find a suitable seller for this brand around the world.

It stands to reason that Jin Xiaoqiang has a good chance of making a business, but he does not intend to take over this brand, because after all, this brand is a national treasure brand in the UK. If he takes it over rashly, it will easily arouse the resentment of the British, and if

They have bad intentions for you, and maybe things like turning a well-known international brand into a domestic brand will happen again.

So Jin Xiaoqiang doesn't want this to happen to him, so he plans to start a new business. Anyway, Ford hasn't launched those two new cars yet, and Ashton Martin hasn't changed owners yet and is rejuvenated.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that I copy their later models, and no one knows, so why not do such a thing?

The current Ashton Martin is still stuck in the old db7 series. In terms of appearance, there is still a big gap between the models that this brand will launch in the next few years.

.

Therefore, it can be said that there is no pressure to copy the appearance of his descendant, and it will not make people think of being a copycat at all. Moreover, Ashton Martin is still in an uncertain stage, so if Huayang Dynamics produces and designs

The Ford Mustang, which was later developed based on Ashton Martin, and the new generation Mondeo were the perfect time.

And it is very different from the relatively harmonious appearance of the current Ashton Martin db7 series. The two later Ford cars had a very fierce appearance, especially the modified headlights of the two cars.

It gives people a very fierce temperament, which makes people not associate these two cars with the current Ashton Martin.

It was the transformation of the front faces of these two cars by Ford engineers that made Jin Xiaoqiang like these two cars even more, because in his opinion, such front appearance will be more in line with the taste of consumers in a few years.

Aesthetic concept...

Moreover, the 5.4L V8 mechanical positive pressure engine they are currently developing came from the Ford Shelby Cobra a few years later. Now that this engine is installed on this supercar, it is also a natural thing.

Return to original owner.

However, it was only the original owner of this car that returned, not Ford. It was thanks to Ford's special vehicle research and development team that such a perfect combination fell into the hands of Jin Xiaoqiang and Huayang Power.

What he has to do now is to draw the sketch of little Ashton Martin and then hand it over to Liu Changshan. The rest of them will toss around to their heart's content and build this super sports car as soon as possible.
