Chapter 1067 Modified Ferrari to compete
Lausanne came over at some point, and she nodded slightly when she heard the words: "Linda is right, the higher the specification of the race, the more expensive the car will be. Let's take the F1 race as an example, the engine used by the Ferrari team The unit price is 100 million US dollars. If the price of other parts is added, the cost of an F1 racing car will be at least 600 million US dollars. If the research and development costs are included, it will be even more exaggerated. The races Linda participated in are already considered Ultra-high specification, because this kind of competition has very strict requirements on the car, so the investment in the car will be much larger than that of ordinary competitions.”

Only then did Niu Xiaoqiang figure out the market conditions, and couldn't help sighing: "This kind of car competition really burns money."

Watson was very concerned about his wife's safety, so he couldn't help interjecting: "Xiaoqiang, you must take the safety of the racing car into consideration. You can't be sloppy in this regard."

Linda nodded: "I just paid for the engine, Xiaoqiang, please help me install high-strength anti-collision beams, and other parts of the modification, safety must also be considered, I will pay for it separately .”

Niu Xiaoqiang hummed: "Please rest assured, I will definitely take safety issues seriously and do everything possible to ensure Auntie's personal safety."

Linda smiled and took out the car keys of her Ferrari, and handed it to Niu Xiaoqiang: "I'm going to convert that Ferrari into a racing car, please help me drive the car to Packard Motor Company, it's up to you Take charge of the modification work yourself.”

Linda has a Pontiac GTO, which is a modified car with very powerful performance.However, this car can only participate in amateur modified car competitions. If it is a professional advanced event, it will not work.

The biggest problem is that the drag coefficient of this Pontiac GTO is too high. Even after replacing many lightweight spare parts made of super carbon steel, the body is still very clumsy and heavy, which is a disadvantage in the speed race. .

Ferrari is different. The sports car designed by them is originally for the purpose of pursuing speed. The body is very light, the drag coefficient is very small, and it is very easy to handle. It only needs to be slightly modified and replaced with a more powerful engine to participate in the racing competition. up.

Niu Xiaoqiang put the car keys in his pocket: "No problem, I will find someone to drive my aunt's Ferrari to the factory tomorrow, and I will make a modification plan as soon as possible, and I will personally supervise the modification process later to ensure that there are no problems. .”

Only then did Linda feel relieved, and after a few people chatted for a while, Niu Xiaoqiang was called aside by Luosang.

Niu Xiaoqiang asked curiously: "Miss Lausanne, you are looking for me...?"

Luosang said with a half-smile, "I heard Kailina say that you want me to work for you. Is that true?"

Niu Xiaoqiang said: "It's true, I have already discussed with Kailina, she will take charge of the overall affairs of the Packard Motor Company in the future, but she may not be able to do it alone, if you want, You can serve as her assistant."

Lausanne asked: "If I promise you, what should the Lausanne used car market do?"

Niu Xiaoqiang looked at Pete who was walking this way, and said with a smile: "Mr. Pete can help you manage the second-hand car market in Lausanne. You don't have to worry about problems."

As soon as Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, Pete had already walked up to him.He looked at Niu Xiaoqiang with unfriendly eyes, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Lausanne glared at Pete angrily: "What are we talking about, do we need to report to you? Who do you think you are? My father or my husband?"

Pete didn't have the slightest temper in front of Lausanne, so he quickly put away the hostility on his face, and said with a dry smile, "I'm just asking casually, nothing else."

Niu Xiaoqiang secretly sighed, and said to himself: You can tell at a glance that Pete regards me as his rival in love, so what is the point?

After all, Pete has followed his elder brother for many years, and usually cares for him very much. It is not easy for Lausanne to continue to refute his face.She sighed and said helplessly, "Peter, don't worry about it. I'm talking about work with Mr. Niu."

Pete couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words: "You don't work in the same company, what's there to talk about?"

Lausanne told Niu Xiaoqiang's thoughts, and Pete immediately showed a vigilant look after hearing this: "Mr. Niu, Lausanne has only been in the second-hand car market, and has never worked in other industries. Do you think she is suitable for Packard Motors?" Work?"

Before Niu Xiaoqiang could speak, Luosang stretched out his hand helplessly and pushed Pete aside: "Okay, I'm an adult, I can make decisions on my own, I don't need you to help me as a consultant, you go Go drink with Bosa and the others."

Pete nodded in embarrassment, turned around and went to Bosa for a drink.

Seeing this situation, Niu Xiaoqiang gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Lausanne. He was mainly worried that Pete's impulsiveness would threaten his personal safety.Niu Xiaoqiang felt that it was not worth taking such a big risk for an unimportant matter.

"Miss Lausanne, I still need to think about inviting you to work for Packard Motor Company. It's getting late now. I still have something to do. Let's go first. Goodbye."

After Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he turned around and greeted the Watsons and Robert, and then walked out with Karina.Luosang looked at his back angrily, and said in a bad mood, "That guy Pete is really too much, he actually scared people away."

As soon as he came out, Niu Xiaoqiang asked: "Karina, what did you do upstairs? Why did you take so long to come down?"

Karina opened the bag: "I'm going to get the evening dress."

There was a very flimsy red evening dress in the handbag, and Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help being taken aback: "What are you doing with the evening dress? Could it be that you are going to a banquet?"

"It's a class reunion, and it will be the third anniversary of our university graduation soon. The students want to have a party, and everyone gathers to relive the good times of the past."

Only then did Niu Xiaoqiang understand, and he joked: "Americans seem to have to find a companion at a party, right? Do you want me to accompany you?"

Kailinna nodded as a matter of course: "Who else can I look for besides you? Of course you will go with me."

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help being stunned: "Is it appropriate for me to go with you?"

Kailinna asked curiously, "Why isn't it appropriate?"

"I'm an oriental, and I have no status in the United States. Besides, I'm so much younger than you. If your classmates see me, will they laugh at you?"

Kailinna couldn't help laughing and said, "It's just a simple class reunion, you don't have to think about it so complicated, just deal with it and it'll be over."
