Chapter 119 Are You Threatening Me? (6K for subscription)
"Don't worry, I'll take it slowly..."

Hu Lai didn't know much about the Isle of Man TT.

After asking Huang Chen and the others from the engineering department, they searched the Internet deliberately, and everyone was dumbfounded.

This Nima.

Good guy.

Just outrageous!
The so-called Isle of Man TT race is not a professional race in the racetrack that you usually watch on TV.

It's a road motorcycle race on the road track along the periphery of the island of the Isle of Man!
This track has been famous for a long time. Not only is the road condition complicated, the whole journey needs to pass through streets, villages and even mountains, but also there are as many as 226 large and small bends!
It is under such complicated road conditions that all racers raced fearlessly, and the average speed of the entire track can reach 200KM/H!

Even more terrifying!
The highest speed can reach a terrifying 330KM/H!

This Nima!
brutal!

At a speed of 330KM/H, the plane can take off!

And it is in such a state of rapid competition that racers need to drive six consecutive laps on the world's longest track, a 60.7-kilometer track!

That's right!

60.7 kilometers times six!
Such is the horror of the Isle of Man TT!
I usually feel tired driving for ten kilometers to and from get off work, but this is sixty kilometers at 200KM/H!

Horror!
This is not only the pursuit of absolute speed, but also a great test of the endurance and concentration of motorcycle riders!

But this is the game.

Although it is known as the motorcycle racing event closest to death in the world!
Although it is the motorcycle race with the highest death rate so far!
Although so far, more than 250 professional racers have died in the race!

But every year there are still countless warriors participating without fear!
After Hu Lai understood clearly, the way he looked at Li Chengfeng was completely different!
What a warrior!

This is completely beyond the field of ordinary motorcycle racers, which belongs to a higher level of extreme challenges!
pursue freedom!

Go forward fearlessly!

Challenge yourself!

"You're going to compete in the Isle of Man TT with your electric motorcycle?"

Hu Lai's eyes were full of shock, he had no idea that the thin Li Chengfeng in front of him would want to participate in such a competition.

"That's right!"

"Mr. Hu, I just saw what you said in the call for submissions design, and wanted to create a brand new high-end electric motorcycle that can be used for overseas competitions, so I submitted it!"

"My dream is to participate in the Isle of Man TT race with a motorcycle designed by myself!"

Hu Lai felt a bitterness in his heart, what the hell...

Who are you messing with!
The idea at that time was just to design a high-end electric motorcycle to make up for Phoenix's gap in high-end electric motorcycles.

By the way, push the model to domestic and foreign markets, and if possible, choose an opportunity to participate in foreign competitions!

But the race I thought of was just an ordinary rally or ordinary racing.

It's not so exciting, not the kind of dead people!

you!

It is directly upgraded to participate in the Isle of Man TT race with a top speed of 330KM/h.

Too much!

Hu Lai showed embarrassment, and if the situation allowed, Phoenix would not mind helping Li Chengfeng to compete.

But after actually understanding it, I found that the difficulty is not ordinary!
Needless to say, spending money to build a dedicated racing car and setting up a complete support team to fund training.

The important thing is that if you want to participate in the competition, the electric motorcycle must have strong performance and meet the competition standards!
It is impossible to ride a rainbow with a speed limit of 45KM/H to compete!
And the current Phoenix really doesn't have these top competition skills!
Participate in the Isle of Man TT with a CCSR electronic control technology?
To be funny?

Hu Lai thought for a long time before and after, and finally sighed.

He looked at Li Chengfeng and said helplessly:

"Sorry, I refuse!"

Li Chengfeng's originally hopeful eyes suddenly showed a sense of disappointment, he looked at Hu Lai, wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.

He also can't remember how many times he was rejected.

Yang Wenliang on the side also sighed, and said:
"Mr. Hu, we also know that this matter is really difficult."

"This time I accompanied Brother Li Chengfeng, just to find you and see if you can help me!"

He looked at Li Chengfeng and said, "My brother is a top racing driver himself. He has obtained a SuperBike super driver's license and is eligible to sign up for the Isle of Man TT race."

"He is powerful!"

"Before, Ben Tian and Chuan Qi from Sea Island Country approached him and asked him to represent the Sea Island Country team, but he refused!"

Speaking of this, the silent Li Chengfeng raised his head and shook his head slowly:
"If you can't compete with a motorcycle designed by yourself, at least you must be a motorcycle company from Yanguo!"

"I will not compete for a motorcycle company in an island country."

Yang Wenliang went on to add: "In the past two years, we have contacted several Yanguo companies, but they all refused due to various reasons such as cost, safety, and technology."

Speaking of this, Yang Wenliang showed a bitter look on his face.

"No, I learned that Li Chengfeng's design was selected by you, so I followed."

"I thought, Mr. Hu will not let us down!"

Hu Lai felt helpless for a while, this matter is indeed too difficult to handle.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he really has no power!
He is the clearest about the current situation of Phoenix Factory.

The computing power platform of the "future operating system" is more intelligent, and it has no effect in such a race for speed.

And Phoenix's CCSR electronic control technology is nothing more than improving a certain battery life.

These are of no use to improve the racing ability of motorcycles.

Even with the super blue sky motors obtained from the system, there are still more problems to be solved.

Motors are important, but racing is not just about motors!
Energy recovery, braking, wind resistance, suspension, and even team security, each is very important!

You know, when it comes to competition level, even a small detail can determine success or failure!

Moreover, Phoenix Factory has absolutely no experience in racing competitions.

Just rely on a few scooter development engineers from the electrical department of Phoenix Factory to participate in the Forza Motorsport competition?
It's funny even thinking about it.

After thinking for a long time, Hu Lai still felt helpless in his heart. This level of competition is too reluctant for Phoenix.

"Hey! Old Yang."

"We have known each other for a long time, if I can help, I will definitely help!"

"But this time, there's really nothing we can do!"

Before the nonsense was finished, Li Chengfeng's eyes were full of disappointment.

Hu Lai looked at Li Chengfeng sincerely again, and said:
"Although we can't agree to your request, we will pay the 500 million yuan for the design draft to your account."

"If you want to use this money to build your own exclusive racing car, we can help make it."

"But the top-level racing car, at present, the Phoenix Factory really does not have the ability to build it."

Li Chengfeng looked at Hu Lai, then at Yang Wenliang, was silent for a moment, and forced a smile:
"Boss Hu, I'm thinking about it."

"I will sign the design draft for the solicitation contest and transfer the appearance patent, don't worry."

Hu Lai nodded and didn't try to persuade him any more.

Li Chengfeng was disappointed, and didn't say anything more. After finishing the design draft, he left with Yang Wenliang.

When the two left, Hu Lai felt even more regretful.

If it can really sponsor Li Chengfeng to participate in competitions like the Isle of Man TT, it will also greatly promote the reputation of Phoenix Factory in the world.

Then he called and asked familiar traditional motorcycle manufacturers. After learning more about racing motorcycle information, he also had a more detailed understanding of racing motorcycle technology.

He once entered the domestic product system to search, and finally found that in terms of competition technology, his current points of more than 100 million were only enough to buy a manufacturing technology.

And if you want to buy all the technologies like chassis, handling, springs, braking system, rims, rocker arms, suspension, shock absorption, chainrings, and chains, you don’t have enough points for yourself!
Hu Lai sighed in his heart, if he agreed hastily, but the motorcycle he made couldn't achieve the effect, then what's the point.

He calmed down, there was really no solution to this matter at the moment.

But now that the design draft is finalized, the next work must be carried out in an orderly manner.

And the power combination mentioned by Han Ming before, the problem of the motor is in front of us again.

Although the laboratory has started trial production of "Super Blue Sky Motor", it is still some time before mass production.

Hu Lai has been struggling with whether to use other people's motors to launch high-end motorcycles before mass production, or wait for the "Super Blue Sky Motor" to be mass-produced before launching high-end motorcycles.

Today, the high-end motors on the market are headed by German and island motors.

Siemens and Bosera Electric are representatives of German companies, while Sanleng, Songxia, Anchuan, and Mitsuba are the main manufacturers of Sea Island companies.

Siemens and Bosera are slightly more expensive, which will not only increase the cost of car manufacturing, but also, like the island series, high-end motors are not sold at all.

There are a lot of cooperation between the island system and Yanguo. Although the price is cheaper, the same top-notch new-generation motor will not be sold at all, and the next-generation motor is also limited in supply.

After much deliberation, I haven't made a decision yet.

But there is no rush for this matter.

On the third day after the design draft was finalized, the headquarters of Phoenix Factory received another call from the outside world.

……

Phoenix factory headquarters.

Hu Lai came to the company early in the morning. As soon as he arrived at the office, he found that Yi Yi was already waiting for him.

Hu Lai was quite surprised, but Yi Yi looked helpless.

"Boss, the Kirishima electric motorcycle that contacted us a few days ago contacted us again this morning."

"They said that they are going to the Phoenix factory early this morning, hoping to meet you in person, presumably because of the electronic control technology..."

When Hu Lai heard this, he frowned slightly.

Phoenix's electronic control technology, blue sky motor technology, and spraying polymer technology will receive requests from different companies for technical cooperation or patent authorization.

Generally speaking, as long as the Phoenix Factory refuses in a firm tone, everyone will stop there.

After all, these technologies are the core technologies of the Phoenix Factory, and it is normal not to authorize them.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the Kirishima electric motorcycle was so persistent.

But it is not surprising that most people in the island country have such a character.

"Okay, let's take it to the reception room when we arrive later!"

"Okay, boss!"

……

Noda-kun is the marketing manager of Kirishima Electric Motorcycle, a brand under YAMH.

Over the years, YAMH's motorcycle business has been developing steadily. Facing the future trend of new energy, YAMH established the electric motorcycle department naturally.

However, the brand Kirishima electric vehicle under the name of YAMH has not entered the Yanguo market, and has always been oriented to European and American customers and its own domestic market.

After Kirishima noticed the amazing press conference of Phoenix Factory on the "Moto Show" before, he began to conduct in-depth research on Phoenix Factory.

Because the headquarters of YAMH has a traditional motorcycle business in Yanguo, and it is located in Shancheng City, as soon as I inquired about it, I was immediately shocked!

Although most of Yanguo's electric motorcycle industry is scooters, he knows the research and development capabilities of companies like Didi and Xiaoma.

When he really knew that Phoenix couldn't lift the heads of Didi and Pony Shock in China, Kirishima keenly realized that this was an absolutely leading technology.

After a more careful analysis, Kirishima immediately knew Phoenix's strengths and weaknesses!

The only strength of Phoenix is ​​the battery life of the software. Apart from battery life, they do not have any core technology!

95% of the components of the electric vehicles they manufacture are mature solutions purchased from other manufacturers!

Whether it's batteries, motors, or springs, shock absorption, none of them belong to their own research and development!

Kirishima is keenly aware that this is an absolutely serious shortcoming. If it is technically blocked and cut off, the entire production will be greatly affected!

At this moment, Mr. Noda learned that Phoenix Factory is about to launch a brand new high-end electric motorcycle, which needs a high-power motor!
And the object they want to buy is the famous electric motor in the island country, and it is also an affiliated company of YAMH, An Chuan Electric!

After some contact, Noda-kun thought the opportunity had come!

If An Chuan's high-power motor is used as a bargaining chip in the negotiation, Phoenix will definitely not be able to refuse the deal!

"Kentaro, thank you Anchuan Electric for coming to Yanguo with us this time. If we can get the patent transfer of Phoenix, our company and even the YAMH head office will reward you!"

"Noda-kun, you are too polite. We need to go to Yan Country to deal with matters. We just do a small favor by the way. The companies in our island country have always helped each other like this!"

"Hi, Kentaro-kun, thank you very much!"

Kentaro laughed heartily. Anchuan Electric is not only the top electric company in the island country, but their customers are all over the world.

And in Yanguo's market, An Chuan Electric has the best reputation and the highest market share!

Director Han of the Phoenix Factory had contacted An Chuan many times before, hoping to obtain a large-scale supply contract and obtain An Chuan's top high-power motor.

This time, the sister company Kirishima Electric Vehicle asked for the Phoenix Factory, but it was cheaper for the Phoenix Factory.

He is full of confidence in his heart, he is very clear about Phoenix's needs, and he has no worries about Phoenix's acceptance of the trade plan.

As soon as nine o'clock arrived, the two arrived at the headquarters of the Phoenix Factory on time.

They are all insiders in the electric motorcycle industry. When they entered the Phoenix headquarters and saw from a distance that the Phoenix production line was still the production line of the island country ten years ago, they felt full of confidence.

It seems that Phoenix is ​​indeed as stated in the information, a small enterprise with not too strong strength and outstanding software technologies!

Both of them were in high spirits. Not long after they came to the living room, Hu Lai also came to the reception room!

At this time, Noda-kun and Kentaro have been waiting for a long time.

Hu Lai saw the two of them at a glance, and walked in with a smile.

Noda-kun and Kentaro were obviously a little surprised. They originally thought that the owner of the Phoenix Factory was at least a middle-aged man, but they didn't expect to be so young.

Kentaro is the manager of An Chuanyan Country, and he already speaks fluent Chinese.

He took the lead in introducing: "Mr. Hu, hello!"

"This is Mr. Noda, the marketing manager of the Kirishima electric motorcycle brand under our island country YAHM."

"I'm Kentaro, the person in charge of the marketing department of Yakushi Electric's Yan Country."

An Chuan Motor!

Hu Lai was taken aback!
Isn't this the electrical machinery company in the island country mentioned in Han Ming's previous report?

The new motorcycles need their motors, but they have been stuck in the neck to limit the production, let alone the next-generation motors!

Is An Chuan Motor's visit this time also for CCRS electronic control technology?
Hu Lai thought to himself, when he received Yiyi's notice in the morning, he still wanted to directly reject the Kirishima electric car.

Unexpectedly, even An Chuan Electric was involved.

Hu Lai found it interesting, but he was not in a hurry, and simply calmed down to see what Kirishima was up to.

When Hu Lai's expression froze, Kentaro also clearly noticed that he was more sure that Fenghuang could not refuse, but seeing Hu Lai's appearance, he felt a little pity in his heart.

The group's top motor was actually sold to Yanguo company like this.

He felt sorry, but Noda-kun from Kirishima took out a letter of intent for cooperation and handed it to Hu Lai.

"Mr. Hu, these are some cooperation plans proposed by our Kirishima."

Hu Lai took it, opened it and looked at it seriously.

The content of the entire cooperation plan is not complicated, and the plans are all typeset in Chinese.

Hu Lai watched while Kentaro translated Noda-kun's words.

"Mr. Hu, we are very interested in your company's CCSR electronic control technology, so we hope to cooperate with your company."

"We would like to do a patent buyout if we can."

Hu Lai happened to see this, smiled and shook his head.

Noda-kun is not discouraged either, he also knows that it is impossible to buy out directly.

His expression remained unchanged, and he continued:
"Of course, we have another way of cooperation, that is, your company authorizes the patent to us, and will not transfer it to a third party!" [Technical term is called: patent implementation exclusive license]

Hu Lai was amused. He had no intention of authorizing or transferring any technology.

I can listen to Noda-kun, but I just want to see what Kentaro of Akusei Denki wants to do.

He looked at Noda-kun, still shaking his head slightly.

Noda-kun was a little anxious, and added:
"Mr. Hu, our Kirishima electric motorcycles do not have electric motorcycle business in Yanguo, and we have no plans to enter the Yanguo market in the future."

"We will not compete with your business."

He looked at Hu Lai and continued:

"Even in overseas markets, our Kirishima electric motorcycle products are completely different from your company's."

"Your company is electric scooters, we mainly deal in electric motorcycles!"

"We're targeting a completely different set of customers."

"Even if our product lines overlap in the future, I believe that the patent fees we give to your company will be enough to make up for the losses caused by competition."

There is indeed no problem with what you said. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for non-direct competitors to authorize patents. After all, there are a lot of patent fees.

After Noda-kun finished speaking in one breath, he was immediately full of confidence. Even he himself was convinced by these words.

He looked expectantly at Hu Lai, but Hu Lai still shook his head!

asshole!

How greedy!

Hu Lai smiled and shook his head, which made Noda-kun feel a little bit of a joke, and he felt a little aggrieved. This feeling of asking for help is really uncomfortable!
Once upon a time, companies in the island country actually needed such a low-profile begging for a company in the country!
Although he was unwilling in his heart, he could only endure it!

He is well aware of the importance attached by the headquarters to CCSR electronic control technology!

This electronic control technology is too powerful. Once the technology is authorized, the competitiveness of all models of Kirishima electric motorcycles will be improved several grades!

Noda-kun glanced at Kentaro next to him, and An Chuan Electric was his last hole card.

After slightly adjusting his mood, his tone became much lower:

"Mr. Hu, I read the news recently and saw that you are finalizing the design of a high-end electric motorcycle."

"It must be necessary to buy a matching high-power motor!"

When Hu Lai heard this, he was secretly amused.

Eighty-nine are inseparable from ten, as expected!

Companies in island countries have always liked to engage in these things.

He didn't speak, and listened to Noda-kun continue:

"Before, your factory manager Han contacted Mr. Kentaro of our An Chuan Electric, hoping to purchase An Chuan's high-power 8KW electric motorcycle motor."

"It just so happens that Kentaro-kun is here today. If you can reach a cooperation with us in Kirishima, An Chuan Electric can sign a motor contract with you."

Kentaro, who has been acting as a translator, translated this sentence, and added a sentence with a smile:
"That's right, we can not only guarantee the timely supply of your motorcycle motors, but also sell you some of the latest technology S-1 series motors."

"Mr. Hu, you have to know that the S-1 series motorcycle motors are the best mass-produced motorcycle motors. We supply top companies like Zreo and Energica."

"After you get it, it can be used to build your flagship model!"

Hu Lai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Kirishima electric vehicle would spend such a large amount of money in order to obtain its own CCSR electronic control technology!

He heard from Han Ming that the motor of the S-1 series is the top configuration of all mass-produced cars in the world!

That is, this S-1 series motor. When Phoenix wanted to buy it, An Chuan Motor was very straightforward and directly refused to sell it!
Unexpectedly!

Hu Lai was a little moved.

His expression was seen by Kentaro, at this moment, Kentaro suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Kentaro suddenly thought of a Chinese idiom.

Germany does not match.

This is the top-notch motor of An Chuan Motor, even the low-level motorcycle companies like Yanguo can use such a top-notch motor!
Hey!
He was full of confidence before, but now he is worried about gains and losses!
what a shame!

It's like flowers stuck in cow dung!
But seeing Noda-kun beside him made me feel better.

Once the deal is reached, Kirishima Corporation and even YAMH headquarters owe themselves a favor.

This can be used to great advantage.

Thousands of thoughts swirled in his mind, but the only thing he never thought about was that the Phoenix Factory would reject the deal.

Just when he contemptuously looked down on Phoenix Factory and felt very sorry, he glanced at it from the corner of his eye.

Hu Lai was still the same as before, smiling and shaking his head.

Nani!

Kentaro's eyes widened in disbelief!

Phoenix actually rejected An Chuan Electric!

Crazy!
No, this is absolutely impossible!
They don't want the motor anymore?

Kentaro opened his mouth wide, and Noda-kun next to him couldn't believe it!
After a long time, Noda-kun finally came to his senses with an angry expression:
"This is already our greatest sincerity!"

"Don't go too far!"

"If you're really in a hurry, you can't even buy a motor!"

Hu Lai thought it was a little funny.

Are you fucking threatening me?
