Chapter 1283 It has to be him
Hearing Jiang He mention the guest escort, Shi Zhen said subconsciously: "Mr. Jiang, hasn't our guest escort stopped using motorcycles?"

Hearing this, Jiang He and Zhang Qihang looked at each other, and they both laughed at the same time.

Speaking of which, from the HTC 80 in the early 750s to the BMW R80 RT later to the BMW R2003 RT before 85, China actually had a long history of using motorcycles as lane-clearing vehicles for national guest escorts, until 2003. Afterwards, after considering all aspects, the above decided not to use large-displacement motorcycles as the trailblazers for the national guest escorts.

Of course, the official statement is correct, but when Zhang Qihang chatted with Jiang He and others before, he felt that the official statement was actually a relatively euphemistic statement. The fundamental reason was that he continued to use foreign large-displacement imported motorcycles as state guests. The escort's lane driving is inconsistent with our national strength.

In 2003, China's total GDP ranked sixth in the world, and its total motorcycle output soared to 2100 million units due to the emergence of Huateng Group, far exceeding the 1461 million units in the same period in history, and its total output ranked first in the world. !

However, such a huge performance gap cannot cover up the situation that China's motorcycle industry is "big but not strong". Not to mention the national total output of 2003 million units in 1461, even taking the first half of this year as an example, the total domestic motorcycle production capacity It has reached 1600 million units. It is estimated that the total production capacity for the whole year is expected to exceed 3300 million units, exceeding the 2500 million units in the same period in history. However, even with such a huge production capacity, it is still dominated by mobility and tool motorcycle products, 250CC The total production capacity of motorcycles with the above displacement (inclusive) is only tens of thousands, and more than 99.9% of the products are still products with a displacement of less than 150CC.

This makes the higher-ups a little embarrassed. If they continue to use imported motorcycles, foreign guests ask: "Friends, I heard that your motorcycle industry is very developed, with an annual output of more than 2000 million units. Why do you still use foreign motorcycles?" What about the car as the lane opener?"

How embarrassed do you think the leader's face looks at this time? How to answer this?

The leader's face was also burning.

You can't use a 150 or a Japanese-made 250 on a motorcycle that's used for clearing the road, right?
The speed cannot meet the requirements of lane driving.

So just stop it and don’t use the motorcycle!
We don’t use motorcycles, and we have all kinds of excuses when foreign guests ask.

But do the escorts really not use motorcycles?

of course not.

Using motorcycles as lane clearing vehicles has become an internationally accepted etiquette for reception of foreign guests. However, our children failed to live up to expectations, so the higher-ups could only make the decision not to use motorcycles as escort vehicles to clear the way for the time being. However, in 2011, Dongfeng After buying a CF650-TR, I was immediately moved. After two years of observation, it was determined that the performance, stability and reliability of this car could meet the requirements of the Guobin Guards' lane-opening car, so on October 2014, 10 In Japan, our country resumed the history of using motorcycles as diplomatic concierge vehicles, and the model is the Guobin type CF21tr-G, which is based on the Dongfeng CF650-TR.

Looking at Zhang Qihang and Jiang He who were smiling happily, Shi Zhen was a little confused. He didn't understand why the two bosses were smiling so happily: the country decided in 2003 not to use motorcycles to clear the way for foreign nationals' escorts. Isn't this true?

Jiang He smiled and patted Shi Zhen on the shoulder: "Xiao Zhen, our country does not use motorcycles as the lane guide for the national guest escorts. This is a fact, but let's put it this way, as long as our Huateng Group can come up with the appropriate The required motorcycle products, Mr. Zhang has the ability to allow the Guobin Guards to use motorcycles again."

"..."

When Shi Zhen heard this, his eyes widened in shock, his face full of disbelief: Mr. Zhang actually has such great ability?
There is no need to say some things to Shi Zhen. Jiang He frowned and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's okay to use this car to develop a Guobin-type motorcycle, but America's Guobin-type motorcycle is a Harley, and our car is a standard American model. Cruiser, this...if I choose this car as the state guest car, won't it reflect poorly on the country?"

"I have also considered the issue you mentioned," Zhang Qihang nodded: "So the car you see now is what I use to focus on the high-end American cruise motorcycle market, and the car below is what I plan to focus on. It’s in the market for sporty luxury cruising sports cars, what do you think about Lao Jiang?”

The car below?

Hearing Zhang Qihang's words, not only Jiang He but also Shi Zhen was shocked.

The two people hurriedly turned to the next page of renderings, and a sports luxury cruiser similar to the three-box version of the BMW R1200 RT caught the eyes of Jiang He and Shi Zhen.

There are actually two subdivisions of cruise motorcycles. If Harley's Glide series is a standard road cruise motorcycle, then such cruisers represented by HTC ST1300, Yamaha FJR1300, Kawasaki GTR1400 and BMW R1200 RT are Representatives of sports cruise motorcycles, and the ultimate representatives of sports motorcycles that are truly qualified to be called sports luxury cruise sports cars, are PhiHTC's "Gold Wing" 1800 and the BMW K1600-GTI that has not yet appeared. None other than.

Harley's Glider series emphasizes the comfort of cruising on straight intercontinental highways, while Sports Cruise emphasizes comfort while also placing great emphasis on maneuverability, so the HTC ST1300 and BMW R-series sports cruise motorcycles are the same It is used as the trailblazer for the national guest escorts in many countries. Even the motorcycles used by our country's national guest escorts before 2003 were BMW's R85 RT motorcycles.

What Zhang Qihang took out was the K1600 gti, which BMW would launch as its flagship motorcycle in a few years. The only difference from the BMW K1600 GTi was that because it did not have an inline six-cylinder engine, Zhang Qihang planned to directly use the one on the Excelle. Modify the 1.6 self-priming engine and move it up - since you already have the previous NC series, it's not too much to just move the entire engine up now, right?
But when this rendering fell into the eyes of Jiang He and Shi Zhen, it was different. Looking at the beautiful angel eyes on the front of the car, the beautiful LCD screen and the densely packed various buttons on the handlebars, Jiang He was excited. Patting his thigh: "Mr. Zhang, I knew I was right to come to you!"

Zhang Qihang smiled and said: "Do you think this car is qualified to enter the guest escort team?"

Jiang He said flatly: "If this car can't enter the guest escort team, I can't think of any other car that has this qualification!"

Shi Zhen also nodded excitedly!

If Shi Zhen had doubts about Zhang Qihang's design talent in the field of motorcycles before, then at this moment, seeing the several renderings in front of him, he could only feel happy: Mr. Zhang That’s Mr. Zhang, he’s really awesome!
"Then you have to act quickly," Zhang Qihang said: "Although the launch time is uncertain, we still need to come up with a prototype that can be exhibited as soon as possible. In addition, we can also consider starting the preliminary market warm-up."

What is preliminary market warm-up?
It is through some influential reporters, big Vs, etc. to publish some specious and uncertain news, or even some information such as hand-drawn drawings, to arouse the interest of the audience.

Jiang He responded without hesitation: "Don't worry, let me arrange this."

A month later, Momi.com.

A netizen opened a post with an unremarkable name, "Tell me, will QJ launch a domestically produced platoon after absorbing Benelli's technology? If so, what do you think will be the first domestically produced Benelli?" Will a car be a four-cylinder engine or a three-cylinder engine?”

Bored netizens immediately responded:
"You expect QJ, which can't even make 150, to do a big platoon? Brother, are you mistaken?"

"Benelli is good at three-cylinder engines. From TNT899 to TNT1130, they are all three-cylinder engines. If you expect QJ to absorb Benelli's technology and launch three-cylinder engines in China, you might as well expect QJ to make the 899 and 1130 domestically."

"Upstairs, how old is the technology of Benelli's three-cylinder engine? With a fuel consumption of 12 mpg per 400 kilometers, you would be a fool to buy one! Sir, instead of thinking about QJ's domestic Benelli, you should think about five books or The new domestically produced CB400." "With how searching they were in my childhood, do you still expect them to produce domestically produced CB400s? Let's put it this way, even if domestic motorcycle companies can produce domestically produced CB[-]s, HTC cannot produce domestically produced CB[-]s."

"I don't have any hope if it's domestically produced. When will we be able to import Thirteenth Aunt on a large scale? Just buy it if you don't have more than 20 W buddies..."

"The Benelli 1130K costs more than 10, and the HTC 20K costs [-]W? Brother, just go to bed..."

"The atmosphere is here, let's discuss it. Let's talk about these domestic motorcycle companies. Who is most likely to be the first to launch a large platoon? Is it Huateng Huayun, the luxury J-Suzuki, or the domestic Shell? Nally?"

"I don't even have any hope. Brother, just take a shower and go to sleep."

"That's right, for the same single-cylinder air-cooled 250, Yamaha can produce 15.4 kilowatts, while domestic motorcycle companies can only produce 12 kilowatts. These cowards in China have not even figured out the single-cylinder air-cooled 250. , and also build a multi-cylinder large-displacement car? It is better to count on them than to count on QJ’s domestically produced Benelli! Having said that, if QJ’s locally produced TNT899 can reduce the price to 6W, I will buy one by selling everything.”

"6W? Quasi-liter upgrade tnt899? Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"Haha...brother, you are thinking shit!"

"Brother, what are you thinking about? +1, stay in formation downstairs..."

…………

Just when everyone was ridiculing this motorcycle friend for wanting to buy a three-cylinder, quasi-liter Benelli TNT6 for a price of 899W, a motorcycle friend whose profile picture was a black and white photo of a child in the early 80s said: "According to reliable information, According to the news, some domestic motorcycle companies have received support from the parent company of the group and have launched a large-scale displacement project, and there will be two products at the beginning, one of which has a displacement of liters."

As soon as this netizen with a slightly funny avatar said something, the forum went silent at first, and the next moment, the entire forum exploded...

"Moderator! Damn it! The mysterious moderator appears!"

"Moderator! Don't scare me! Is there really a domestic motorcycle company working on a domestic big-name brand?"

"Domestic high-end public upgrade? If someone else said this, I would definitely spit on him, but... frog moderator, please beg for further information!"

"Frog version, which motorcycle company is so awesome?"

"Frog version, tell me more, I like to hear this."

After the frog moderator said these words, the traffic of the entire post instantly skyrocketed, and countless motorcycle friends asked the frog moderator for relevant information. Even Gao Dawei, the deputy moderator who likes motorcycle tours the most, bubbled up: "Frog, tell me more, I want to hear it too..."

If we were to say which forum was the favorite forum for motorcycle riders in 2007, it must be Motorcycle.net.

After several years of development, Motorcycle Fans.com, founded in 2005, has become the hottest community for motorcycle enthusiasts in China, and the moderator Frog has also become a recognized leader in the domestic motorcycle fan circle. Any new trends or actions, the frog boss must be the first to know. On the other hand, if a piece of news is not particularly certain, then it is absolutely right to ask the frog boss for confirmation.

Under the "pressure" of many motorcycle friends, the moderator Frog who had just bubbled up had to bubble up again: "Brothers, I got this news very accidentally, but now this project is still in the top secret period, and the project has just The specific model has not been confirmed yet, so please don’t ask. If I say too much, I will make my brothers passive. If the products launched in the future are different from what I said, you may still scold me. I beg you all. Don’t embarrass me, and don’t embarrass my brother.”

If the frog moderator said it directly, everyone might still have doubts, but if the frog moderator Yue said this, everyone became more certain that it was true: the frog moderator with great supernatural powers really learned about it through his personal relationship. There is a domestic motorcycle company that is developing large-displacement motorcycles, and this company has started this project for some time, and has entered the product selection stage. It is just limited to various reasons, which cannot be said.

Motorcyclists immediately asked:
“Moderator, we won’t ask which company it is, but just tell us, do they have a four-cylinder version?”

"What four-cylinder engine do you want? I want to ask if there is an American cruiser?"

"Moderator, will there really be a liter upgrade?"

"Moderator, can you tell me a little bit about which motorcycle company is so awesome that it dares to upgrade to public?"

At the same time, countless private messages poured in from the frog moderator's backstage...

"Frog, no one else can tell, tell me, who is so awesome?"

"Frog, based on our friendship, let's be more transparent."

"Frog, let's go out to drink tonight, bathe in the KTV one-stop service, all brothers are invited by me! Just for a moment, let's talk about that domestic high-end restaurant you mentioned? Hehehe..."

Looking at the lively scene in the forum, the face of the frog moderator was full of excitement: Sure enough, thighs are thighs, they taste so good! Just this one order is enough to feed myself for a year...

He suppressed his excitement and replied to deputy moderator Gao Dawei: "Old Gao, I can't say much, but think about it, among these domestic motorcycle companies, which parent company has the strongest strength and the most advanced technology? X?”
