Chapter 1284 Play a big one
The motorcycle company with the strongest parent company and the most advanced technology?
They are all in the motorcycle circle. Deputy moderator Gao Dawei instantly understood: besides Hua Teng Group's Huayun Motorcycle, who else could be there? He couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up the phone and called Frog. As soon as the call was connected, Gao Dawei said excitedly: "Frog, is it really Hua Yun?"

Now that the old man had guessed it, the frog naturally stopped hiding it and nodded: "Mr. Shi from Huayun told me that this project was finalized personally by Mr. Zhang of their group. In addition, the group's aero-engine department, The automotive engine department will also provide technical assistance and support."

"Good! Good!"

Gao Dawei nodded excitedly: "Speaking of which, if our domestic motorcycle industry wants to develop and grow, it needs the support of a powerful enterprise like Huateng Group."

As one of the earliest senior motorcycle fans in China, he sincerely hopes that the domestic motorcycle industry can develop. When everyone was traveling and gathering together on motorcycles before, Lao Gao said that among the domestic motorcycle companies, one of them is considered The first one that truly has the ability to become bigger and stronger is Huayun Motorcycle, which is backed by Huateng Group.

"Ha ha……"

Since they are all old brothers who have known each other for many years, Frog did not hesitate to reveal a little more information to Lao Gao: "Lao Gao, let me tell you a little bit, haven't you always regretted not having a liter-class highway sports cruiser made by one or two countries? Maybe there will be a chance this time.”

When Gao Dawei on the other end of the phone heard this, his eyes widened instantly: "Toad, you mean..."

"Well," Frog responded and said, "Huayun's Mr. Shi revealed to me that in their research and development plan, there is a 1600CC road luxury tourer and an American cruiser with a displacement of perhaps 2000CC. "

"hiss……"

When Lao Gao heard this, he immediately took a breath of cold air.

Lao Gao's current car is a HTC ST1300 sports road tourer. He has traveled all over the country on this car. This car has not let him down. It is stable and reliable. Lao Gao likes this car very much. , but apart from being happy, Lao Gao also has a little regret, that is: it would be great if he could drive a domestically produced liter-class road station tour around the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

Originally, based on the development status of the domestic motorcycle industry, Lao Gao felt that there might be no hope within ten years, but now, his friends say that Huayun Motorcycle is actually preparing to develop such a car with a similar positioning to his own Hongda ST1300. ?

After the initial excitement, Lao Gao quickly said: "Brother, did you lie to me?"

The frog also knew how much his old friend cared about this matter, and patiently explained: "Old Gao, I know the weight of this matter in your heart. Do you think I can joke with you about this matter? Here you go. You name it, Mr. Shi told me that although everything is still in the early research stage, the positioning of this road trip sports car has been determined, that is, it is higher than the FJR1300, ST1300, GTR1400 and R1200 RT. It is said that it is a brand new car developed with BMW. It’s almost like a flagship road cruiser of a generation.”

Is it positioned on par with BMW’s new generation flagship road cruiser?
Hearing this, Lao Gao's eyes were full of disbelief!
BMW Motorrad's flagship sports road trip sports car has always been the R series model using the "Boxer" engine. It has developed from the R90 RT in the 85s to the current R1200 RT. It can be said that it is equipped with BMW's horizontally opposed twin The RT station wagon with a cylinder "boxer" engine is synonymous with control, luxury and road travel.

But BMW Motorrad is not satisfied with this. They hope to create a true flagship product that can compete with the HTC Gold Wing GL1800. The HTC Gold Wing is known as the "Rolls-Royce of motorcycles", but it really Rolls-Royce is a brand controlled by the BMW Group, so the "Rolls-Royce of motorcycles" should be built by BMW.

Adhering to the concept of "creating a road-travel sports car that is better than the HTC Gold Wing", BMW has launched a plan for a new generation of flagship sports road-travel sports cars. To this end, BMW has come up with its most proud The in-line six-cylinder technology is ready to be installed on a motorcycle, and with this as the core, a true BMW flagship motorcycle will be built.

After several years of preparation, some key information points of this car have gradually been revealed to the world. Motorcycle fans all over the world have also agreed that this is a flagship product carefully built by BMW Motorrad. But now, their own The old friend actually said that Huayun Motorcycle is planning to build a product that can compete with this car?

At this point, Lao Gao felt a little uneasy. He couldn't help but said: "Well... Lao Gao, Huayun Motorcycle is bragging, isn't it?"

No wonder Gao Dawei thinks so. In fact, before this, Huayun Motorcycle had no experience in developing products similar to the R1200 RT, or even in developing middleweight touring sports cars like the Hongda VFR800. He Why should it be benchmarked against BMW’s new generation flagship product?

Frog sighed: "To tell you the truth, I think Mr. Shi's words are more of a boast, but I think about it, not to mention compared with BMW's new generation flagship road trip sports car, even if it can reach the Yamaha FJR1300 It is on the same level as your Hongda ST1300, or 80% of the level of these two motorcycles. I will also help them blow it up... Finally, a domestic motorcycle company has appeared that is willing to make large-scale motorcycles. We must help them more. say something."

This is the truth!
After hearing what Frog said, Gao Dawei quickly calmed down and nodded: "You are right. As long as they can take the first step, we will definitely support and encourage them... By the way, Frog, did they say anything?" When can we take out the prototype car?”

The frog took a deep breath: "They are preparing to participate in next year's Motorcycle Expo."

"What? Next year's Motorcycle Expo?!" Gao Dawei was stunned for a moment before reacting: "Frog, are you kidding me?"

As the leader in the domestic motorcycle industry, Huayun Motorcycle is of course indispensable at every Motorcycle Expo, but Frog’s answer is more interesting: He is telling himself that Huayun Motorcycle is preparing to participate in next year’s Motorcycle Expo. Let’s show the prototype of our own liter-class motorcycle to the world!

But how is this possible?

Lao Gao thinks this matter is too unrealistic: From now to the Motorcycle Expo in April next year, it will only take 4 months. Can we produce a prototype car that can be exhibited in 7 months?

Frog understood the shock of his old friend and explained: "It's not a real car, it's just a display prototype. It's used to show the shape of the whole car. It's similar to the mobile phone models displayed in mobile phone stores."

"..."

Hearing what the frog said, Gao Dawei suddenly felt relieved: It turned out to be just a model. If it was just a display car, it would be fair to say that. After all, this display car is a 1:1 appearance model.

Even so, he was still very excited. This was the first liter-class motorcycle in the history of the Chinese motorcycle industry. He said without hesitation: "Originally, I was hesitant to go to next year's Motorcycle Expo. After all, it is held every year. But looking at those things now, I will definitely go there next year!”

"Haha..." Frog smiled and nodded: "I'll go too..."

A domestically produced liter-class highway sports cruiser, even if it is just a display prototype, you must check it out.

........................

As the largest gathering area for motorcycle fans in China, Motorcycle.com released the news that Huateng Huayun Motorcycle will develop a liter-class motorcycle in this way, which means that the entire domestic motorcycle circle knows about it.

For a time, the major motorcycle forums were very lively. Some motorcycle friends were very happy and excited about this, while others expressed doubts about it, thinking that even Huayun Motorcycle did not have the strength to develop liter-class motorcycles. Everyone in the forum It was so noisy...

Compared with the motorcycle enthusiasts who are watching the excitement, the major motorcycle companies are much more serious about this news. They know very well how strong the technical strength of the Huateng Group behind Huayun Motorcycle is: it can develop aero engines. The super giant can even produce and develop aircraft engines, let alone a traditional four-cylinder piston engine? They even have V8 motorcycles!

It's just that before this, Huateng Group didn't seem to attach much importance to the motorcycle industry, but now, it seems that their attitude has changed...

In the office of the chairman of Dachangjiang Group, Director Wang asked his secretary: "Xiao Chen, have you understood the situation?"

"I understand," secretary Xiao Chen bowed slightly: "Chairman, through various channels of verification, Huateng Group does have plans to develop large-displacement motorcycles. However, as for whether it is a liter-class large-displacement motorcycle, in addition to uploading it online, Apart from the liter-class sports cruiser that is coming out, there is no other news yet.”

Director Wang nodded and was not surprised.

As the CEO of the second largest motorcycle company in the country, he knows very well that the previous news was actually deliberately released by Huayun Motorcycle. He can only know how much they released. As for more, he wants to know. It’s also difficult. But even this bit of news deliberately released by Huateng Group made Director Wang feel heavy pressure: while he was still trying his best to find a way to introduce GW250 from Suzuki, Huateng Group had already decided to develop a liter-class product. If you have technology and R&D capabilities, you are awesome.

Director Wang didn't speak, and his secretary Xiao Chen was waiting obediently.

After a while, Director Wang finally spoke: "Well, Xiao Chen, please inform Suzuki of this news."

When Xiao Chen heard this, he couldn't help but be startled: Is it just an announcement?

Looking at Xiao Chen who was a little dazed, Wang Dong suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Do you still know the temperament of Japanese people? It's useless to talk too much now. Let's wait for next year's Motorcycle Expo. As long as Huayun Motorcycle is really Suzuki is more anxious than us about showing off their prototype car at next year's Motorcycle Expo."

In recent years, with the vigorous development of the domestic automobile industry, Suzuki, which specializes in small cars and mini cars, has been increasingly difficult in the country. On the contrary, Suzuki's motorcycle industry has developed well in the country. Suzuki It is also paying more and more attention to this, but it is important to pay attention to it. Suzuki Group is very guarded against these domestic motorcycle partners and is resolutely unwilling to introduce good products and technologies into the country. In order to introduce the "Ruishuang" EN- 150, the Dachangjiang Group spent a lot of effort - this is just a 150CC air-cooled single-cylinder motorcycle, but it is such an air-cooled single-cylinder motorcycle with low technical content. The Suzuki Group still delayed it for several years. , Angry Wang Dong cursed several times.

Combined with Wang Dong's reaction just now, Xiao Chen suddenly understood: It is useless to say anything to the stingy Suzuki now. After Huateng Group's large-displacement motorcycles are displayed at next year's Motorcycle Expo, Suzuki will naturally Worry, it will be useless even if Suzuki complains by then. We have already told you and reminded you to respond and react, but you have done nothing. What can we do?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen responded: "Chairman, I will make arrangements right away."

........................

Dachangjiang Group responded quickly, and other motorcycle companies were also slow to respond. However, everyone regarded Huateng Group's move as a magic weapon to put pressure on external partners - everyone saw it clearly: Don't It seems that Huateng Group is preparing to develop large-displacement motorcycles, but the mainstream of domestic motorcycles is still consumer-grade products below 150CC. To be more specific, even the sales volume of 110CC curved beam motorcycle products is higher than the sales volume of 125CC and 150CC More.

In terms of domestic motor vehicle consumption, ordinary people who have no money will buy an electric car or a curved beam motorcycle to travel. If they have some money, they will buy a cheap second-hand car. Only when they are really rich will they buy a new car.

Have a big platoon?
Let others do it - in this era, no one is optimistic that big rows can be profitable.

However, QJ Group, which had already put the large-scale platoon project on its schedule, was a little nervous after hearing the news. General Manager Guo Jian specifically discussed the matter with Chairman Xu Zhi: "Chairman, you said, Should our R&D plan be accelerated?"

In the past few years, QJ Motorcycles has been proactive. Not only has it drawn on advanced international styling design concepts, it has launched a number of new 125CC motorcycles, which have achieved good results in the market. This year, it has launched two new models. The "flagship" product of the 150CC class has a big meaning in the market. Originally, QJ's idea was to develop a large-displacement four-cylinder motorcycle to make an upward impact, but Huateng Group suddenly The research and development plan for liter-class motorcycles has made the entire QJ Group a little panicked. Those who know their peers best are their peers. QJ is very aware of how powerful Huayun Motorcycles, which is backed by Huateng Group, is.

Xu Zhi frowned.

In fact, ever since he heard the news that Huateng Group was preparing to develop a large-displacement motorcycle, his brows had not relaxed in the past few days. Now that he heard the old man's question, he pondered for a moment, but he did not answer Lao Guo's question. Instead, he asked slowly: "Is there any good solution for the problem of frame adaptation?"
