Chapter 1312 Everyone has their own agenda

Costacurta had great expectations for Jianghe's arrival, but when he learned that Jianghe only wanted to jointly develop a sports street bike frame with MV-Augusta Group, he was shocked: How much money does it cost to develop a bicycle frame?

"Sir, NV-Augusta Group has the best motorcycle technology," Costacurta said after pondering for a moment, "Whether it is complete vehicle technology or engine technology, our MV-Augusta Group is the best in the world." First class.”

He just said, "Just tell me what technology you need. We will sell everything! As long as the price is right, we can also consider selling you the entire brand and full set of technology like Benelli Motorcycles." Speak out.

Jiang He didn't expect Costacurta to be so eager, but this just suited him: if the MV-Augusta Group was so eager, then there was no need for him to be anxious.

Jiang He, who had an idea in his mind, smiled and said, "Mr. Costacurta, you should know something about our Huateng Group's motorcycle business, right?"

"Yes," Costacurta nodded, with a hint of pride on his face: "As far as we know, more than 90% of your company's motorcycle products have a displacement of less than 250 cc."

"You are right," Jiang He nodded: "In fact, 90% of our products have a displacement of less than 200 ml, but you may not be very clear yet. Our group has a piston aero-engine business and has a level of There are two-cylinder, four-cylinder and six-cylinder aerospace engines with different structures. As an expert in the motorcycle industry, you should know very well that our company can easily transfer the technology of these aerospace-grade engines to motorcycles.

So you see, in the field of motorcycles, what our company really lacks is not engine technology, nor vehicle design technology, but frame technology, and these are what MV-Augusta is good at. "

"..."

Costacurta stopped talking and frowned slightly.

The previous understanding let Costacurta know that Huateng Group does have ultra-light helicopter business, and as the CEO of MV-Augusta Group, Costacurta is not a person who does not understand technology. Although piston aero engines and motorcycle engines are not the same thing, they actually have many things in common. For example, they both pay special attention to the high-speed performance of the engine. Another example is that they both pay special attention to the overall lightweight of the engine. Even many Private flying enthusiasts will modify motorcycle engines and transplant them into homemade sports aircraft or ultra-light helicopters.

And Huateng Industrial Group can design, produce and manufacture piston aero engines on a large scale, which means that they can indeed easily transplant these aero engines to motorcycles - this is even simpler than producing motorcycle engines, because aviation The production requirements for engines are much higher than those for motorcycle engines.

But in this way, everything he had imagined before became useless.

But to reach the current position, how could Costacurta not be able to cope with such a scene? He quickly adjusted his mood and said to Jiang He: "Jiang, what you said is indeed very reasonable, but since you are the person in charge of the motorcycle business of your group, you should know that although the motorcycle frame looks very It’s simple, but it directly determines the handling of the car. The development process of a frame is also very long.”

"Yes."

Jiang He nodded, of course he knew what Costacurta said was right. If it is a single cradle frame used on popular motorcycles such as the 125 and 150, it does not have much technical content, but if it is used on a large-displacement motorcycle The high-performance frame used is another story.

Looking at the river, Costacurta said sincerely: "So I think we have a broader space for cooperation, not just in the field of frames... MV-Augusta Group has a good relationship with its Chinese motorcycle counterparts. History of cooperation: We once cooperated with the Chongqi Motorcycle Company in your country to produce a batch of Kajiwa 600 cruise motorcycles in the CKD method.

After learning about your arrival, our chairman Mr. Massaro specifically told me that MV-Augusta Group is very much looking forward to cooperating with you, and there is no upper limit to the cooperation between the two parties. "Costacurta believed that since he had made his hint so obvious, the other party would definitely understand what he was talking about.

Sure enough, after listening to Costacurta's clear statement that "there is no upper limit on the cooperation between the two parties," Jiang He was suddenly moved. He immediately confirmed with Costacurta: "Mr. Costacurta, are you sure there is no upper limit on the cooperation between the two parties?" ?”

Costacurta nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I'm sure, this is also what the board of directors means."

"What if, I mean if," Jiang He looked at Costacurta and said slowly, "What if Huateng Group wants to acquire a certain motorcycle brand under your group? Can this be discussed?"

"Acquire the brands under our group?"

Costacurta was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "This...Mr. Jiang, this matter is too big. I can't give you a clear answer for the time being, but if you really have this idea, we can sit down and talk." "

We can actually talk about it!

Costacurta's answer made Jiang He's heart suddenly excited.

Although Costacurta's answer was vague, it was not Jiang He's first day dealing with foreigners. How could he not know the habits of these foreigners?

To put it bluntly, these European foreigners are not much different from the old and young people from the Qing Dynasty during the Republic of China. Even if the poor people drink gruel at home, they still have to wipe their mouths with a piece of fat lard when they go out. We must also put on enough airs outside, and we must not lose our status as a bannerman and our airs.

The same is true for these old Europeans. Even if they are poor and have to sell their pants, they still have to put on a posture of "I don't want to sell it at all, you have to beg me." The rice is in the pot.

Costacurta's ability to say "we can sit down and talk" shows that the situation at MV-Augusta Group may be more serious than he had previously guessed.

Thinking of this, the smile on Jiang He's face became even brighter: "In that case, I would like to give you an answer on behalf of Huateng Group: Regarding this cooperation, Huateng Group is very sincere and has great determination and strength. "

It’s not right to be a wolf with nothing. When fishing, you still have to build a nest and hang bait on the hook, right?

Happy Costacurta!

with honesty? This is good;

Determination and strength are also very strong? That's even better.
