Super Game Empire

"Wow...Why, after choosing a Chinese team, there are only 10 companies in the sponsor list that can choose? And there are at least thirty Japanese Mitsubishi Racing team just now?" This is the first question that James couldn't figure it out.

Jiang Shaoyun smiled bitterly: "Because the overall level of China's automobile industry is not good, and the country is not rich enough, everyone does not have much spare money to sponsor a rally that has no future. Don't be afraid to tell you the truth. Before participating in the competition last year, Great Wall Motors was preparing

Half of the battle was prepared by themselves, and the other sponsors were finally brought in only three, and they were not big companies in the automobile industry.”

This sounds like a very tragic story.

At that time, Great Wall Motor decided to go to Dakar, but FAW ignored it. BAIC even took it as a joke. Dongfeng Company said that it was not available. Changhe claimed that he was a military industry and was not convenient to intervene. There was also a SAIC holding hands with General Motors to participate.

There is really no automobile company in China to lend a helping hand, and even those technicians who have been mobilized by administrative orders are forced to be mobilized.

In the end, Great Wall Industrial Company invested 40% on its own, Longteng sponsored 40%, CCTV Sports Channel used broadcasting fees and advertising fees as investment sponsorships of 15%, and another 5% came from Cummins Engine Production Company in the United States, which were all so hard.

Wei Guangrong of Great Wall gritted his teeth and persevered. He swore with red eyes, saying that he would participate in the competition even if he was selling his body. He thanked everyone who helped Great Wall Motors. He said a lot of things like "Don't forget each other if you are rich or noble."

As a result, Great Wall Longteng Racing successfully completed the entire Dakar Rally, ranking 40% of whom did not fall behind and withdrew from the race. In the first race, he won 72nd place, although he ranked second to last. However, he could not be more than 60%.

Other vehicles that run the entire journey perform much better, which shows that Great Wall Motors is indeed durable and reliable in quality.

When they were successful and had great sales prospects, the grandsons of Huanghai Group took the initiative to come up and wanted to invest in Great Wall Company. Wei Guangrong was almost driven crazy. Are those people all him? What a thing!

Jiang Shaoyun also knew some of the situation. When he thought of this, he shook his head secretly and didn't want to say anything.

Fortunately, there are many options in the game, not as cruel as reality, and there are only a few SAIC that holds hands with General Motors, but there are Cummins, Longteng, and Great Wall Industrial Company. There are also FAW, Erqi, Dongfeng, Changan,

GAC, China Petrochemical Corporation and Bank of China.

This is also the number of big-name companies that Longteng took the initiative to add to the game to make good use of it. Last year, he didn't pay much attention to them, and his attitude has improved a lot this year.

Finally, James talked to each company, after a short soft ad. He received a total of $1 million in sponsorship fees...

That's right, it's $1 million. Mitsubishi Pajero can get 5.5 million, while Great Wall only gets 1 million. This gap makes James completely unacceptable.

"Hey! You can't do this! The hardware of Great Wall's vehicle is not good, and the sponsorship fee is so small. How can you compete?"

Faced with James' complaint, Jiang Shaoyun could only shrugged, and Paris asked: "Jiang, is this also a reaction to the real situation?"

Jiang Shaoyun sighed: "Of course, to be precise, Great Wall Motors received a total of about 695,000 US dollars in sponsorship funds last year, and there were 200,000 in-kind sponsorships, namely auto parts, consumables, advertising exemptions, and free of charges.

Free insurance premiums, free shipping on these. Now you can get $1 million in the game, James, you should feel lucky..."

Everyone was shocked. Is this trying to show the perseverance of the Chinese or the high quality of Chinese cars?

I'm afraid that I can't even splash in the Dakar Rally. James and Paris know that if WRC wants to get results, it can easily be smashed in for millions, while F1 racing cars can be tens of millions of dollars.

All are common things!

"OK! OK! Even in hell mode, it won't hurt me. I will choose the accessories myself!"

James quickly entered the modification workshop and muttered: "It is impossible to form a support team by himself. It seems that he can only pay to be affiliated with other large teams, and the $100,000 is gone again. Registration fee, accommodation fee, transportation

The fee is 50,000 yuan. Even if there is free shipping and sufficient spare parts, I have only less than 800,000 yuan left... OK, let’s start with the most important bearing system!”

Jiang Shaoyun asked with interest: "We have included 4 professional modification companies that support Dakar Rally, and they all have mature modification plans. Last year, 184 cars participated in the competition, and almost 120 of them used their mature technology.

Only professional manufacturers like Mitsubishi, Subaru, General Motors, and Citroen will do it themselves. Why don’t you choose them?"

James was proud: "I'm not an ordinary person! My Lanqia has personally debugged ten sets of plans before it was finalized. I know what a good modification plan would look like!"

This is the difference between professional and amateur. Generally, players will only have a headache when they look at the modification term, but this person is interested in it. This is actually a selling point of the game - fanatical modification fans can study the details, and ordinary players can also enjoy it.

To professional service.

James first sold all the useless accessories except the engine and the basic frame, and could exchange them for some money. However, he looked at the empty shell body, and then looked at the $1.012 million in his account, which was speechless.

Very good.

Jiang Shaoyun said awkwardly: "The price of this mass-produced car is around US$25,000, so..."

Ordinary cars, ordinary parts, and even recycling, Great Wall Motors is really so cold!

James didn't talk much nonsense, so he bought a full-vehicle welding service, which cost $30,000. Fortunately, the beam of Great Wall is still solid and does not need to be replaced for the time being. CG animation is manual welding, and about 500 welding points are required to be reinforced at the bottom of the vehicle.

Next, we replaced the main frame steel, used aviation aluminum alloy to replace the important supporting keel part, used to reduce the weight of the car, and installed an anti-roll frame. We purchased 60-meter seamless alloy steel pipes, which was another 50,000 US dollars.

Replace the transmission part, this is a big head, four-wheel drive is essential, and the transmission must also be purchased for cheap goods that are suitable for Cummins engines and are economical and affordable.

The differentials and reducers in the transmission axle assembly are all used to maximize the engine torque and reasonably allocate them to each drive wheel to make the vehicle more precisely operated. None of them can be missing, so this item costs...62

Ten thousand dollars!

Seeing the money spent like flowing water, Jiang Shaoyun asked expectantly: "James, that's all right, right?"

James shook his head: "There are also shock absorbers and anti-roll bar systems, which can ensure the maximum comfort of the vehicle. The Great Wall Motor's budget is only $100,000. Do you know how much does Mitsubishi's set cost about? 500,000!

So their vehicles have very good shock absorption. I am sure that the Great Wall will surely bump into the Great Wall later, like an earthquake, and the shaking of the TV screen will not stop at all!"

Paris smiled and said, "The Dakar Rally is also a money-burning game!"

James agreed: "The good stuff is expensive. Look at this set of Lens shock absorbers, $480,000, which is also suitable for WRC. I have wanted to change one in my own Lancia car, but unfortunately the budget is

It's really limited!"

While talking, Great Wall Motor replaced the Taiwanese shock absorber of $100,000, and then replaced it with the brake system. It purchased three sets of spare wheel hubs in different venues, explosion-proof fuel tanks, automatic fire extinguishing devices, and safety protection equipment in the cockpit.

The $1.01 million was used cleanly, and there was still $2,000 left. James laughed and said that this was a tip to the modification store!

In terms of performance, the modified vehicle should be rated at 65-70 points, because the real system defaults to the Great Wall modification plan only costs about 3 million yuan, which is about 400,000 US dollars. Many modifications are in the Great Wall Motor Factory.

Do it yourself, it is not like this that you can directly purchase mature products from well-known companies in the world.

Saving money is one aspect, but the technology is really different from well-known products. Great Wall itself does not deny this, and Longteng also reflects it in the game. The new Great Wall RedDragon modified by James himself has been sprayed and slightly different from the original version.

Different, the strength has improved a lot.

In this game, the CG animation of each team is different. Before the Chinese team set off, there is also a mobilization and oath-taking ceremony, opening the scene of champagne drinking and respecting the world, which makes James and Paris feel special after watching it.

interesting.

"This is called a memorial to the army. China has had this tradition for thousands of years. When soldiers go to war, the monarch will give way!" Jiang Shaoyun explained with a smile. Longteng likes to show them to the whole world.

The first stop from Paris to Clermont, James deliberately used the same operation at that 30CM deep pit, comparing the different feelings of the two cars.

"The car weighs 1.7 tons, which is a little lighter than the Pajero, with a horsepower difference of 25 horsepower, and the acceleration and maximum speed effects are not as good as Pajero. In addition, the tires are anti-slip tires suitable for gravel, which is one grade worse than the Bailuchi, so driving at high speed

I was a little floating, and I couldn't help but increase the strength of the handle, and the control sensitivity was not as good as Pajero."

"Look at this pit! Oh, dangerous! God, it's still a little short of being overturned! The speed of 100km still cannot reduce the pressure of the shock absorbers and anti-roll bars. They do not perform well in rapid cornering and collisions.

I hope! Can I complain? The screen shaking is really a bit big!"

"Let's try to regame, this time I want to try another team with a higher gear modification."

James tried about six tracks, which took an hour, and then recreated a new file, used different modification plans to repeat the same track multiple times, carefully experienced the slight differences, and gave his first-hand information the truth.

The land is provided to Paris and Jiang Shaoyun.

The most common fact is "you get what you pay for", and the most common word is "real"!
