Chapter 694 Take Me to Play Together (4K Chapter)

In the forest in the south of Frankfurt, the Main River, a tributary of the Rhine River, flows through. The aroma of grass leaves floats in the air. You don’t need to measure it to know the high oxygen content. It is absolutely amazing. It is a veritable natural oxygen bar.

A group of people walked towards the villa, and Wu Qian said with a smile when passing by the Baoma [-] series.

"Stefan, everyone knows that the rich in your country live a low-key life. It is easy to understand that the mansion is built in the forest, but isn't it a little too much for you (one of the young owners of Baoma Group) to drive a [-]-series?"

Regarding this matter, Wu Qian was very worried, walked to Stefan's car, and asked a question.

While talking, Wu Qian walked around the white Baoma [-] Series, looked carefully at the driver's seat, and then squatted down to check the exhaust. If it wasn't inconvenient, he even wanted to open the hood have a look.

Wu Qian suspects that this is a high-performance car in disguise, just like the Golf used by the chairman of the Big Three, it can go up to [-] kilometers per hour with just one kick of the accelerator, and only the shell remains from the inside out. Golf, other parts that have long since been replaced by supercars.

However, Wu Qian felt that he was wrong. No matter from which point of view, this Baoma three-series is a very ordinary family sedan on the market. It is not much different from the ones sold by Tianchao. right hand drive car.

Seeing Wu Qian's curious expression, Stefan smiled and said, "Wu, you misunderstood. This is not my car. This is a three-series model that went on the market this year. I'm doing a long-term evaluation."

"My friends say that you like cars very much, so you must know that some flaws in the design will be fully exposed in daily use. I just want to see what flaws are in the details, and then submit the found problems to the designer. department, let them improve."

Wu Qian does know that even if a car goes on the market, the car company will still conduct long-term tests. After all, the test time before the launch is limited, and some problems cannot be fully exposed.

When car companies discover hidden dangers during the testing process, they will conduct recalls. Of course, sometimes recalls are also due to customer complaints. In short, it is good to have a recall to solve the problem.

But he really didn't expect that Stefan was testing the vehicle for the group, and the big boss did it himself. This attitude is very worth learning.

Without waiting for Wu Qian to express his emotion, Stefan continued: "Usually I seldom drive, so if I want to drive normally, I drive a test car, otherwise I spend more time using helicopters."

The corner of Wu Qian's mouth twitched. Is this low-key or high-key?

Let's talk low-key, there are millions or even tens of millions of helicopters, and talk about high-profile, flying around in the air, ordinary people can't even see people, it's really hard to define.

Chatting, a group of people walked into the villa.

From the exterior of the villa, the extensive use of wood makes the whole villa blend well with the forest, but when entering the interior of the villa, there is a different feeling immediately.

From the beginning of the door, there are modern design elements everywhere, very distinct German industrial style design style, full of regularity and toughness.

For this decoration style, Wu Qian can't say how much he likes it, but he doesn't dislike it too much, but one problem can be seen from this decoration style.

Although Stefan Kwant is nearly forty years old, he is still single...

This matter was the answer obtained by Yao Xinlu through the analysis of the decoration style after Stefan left the villa.

The decoration style in the whole villa is too rigid, it is the favorite of straight men, there is no soft element, even German women may not be able to stand it, this is a villa built by Stefan for himself, Didn't think about the other half at all.

A man whose mind is full of career, I'm afraid he can't move his position to pretend to be a woman.

"I have arranged for the servants to clean up the villa in advance, and I have prepared enough ingredients. The servants are afraid that you will not get used to it, so they withdrew."

While showing Wu Qian a tour of the residence, Stefan said that the biggest reason for removing the servants was that he didn't want Wu Qian to misunderstand.

"It's a bit far from downtown Frankfurt. Wu, if you don't think it's convenient to travel by car, there's a helipad in the backyard. I've arranged for a helicopter. I think the people around you should be able to drive it."

As a partner who is about to start in-depth cooperation, Stefan showed Wu Qian a very high courtesy.

Seeing Bauer winking at him, Wu Qian knew it, and said, "Stefan, thank you. When I bought the plane, Airbus sent me a helicopter, which was on the A380."

Stefan said with a smile: "Oh, it is very convenient to have a helicopter in Germany. Wu, you can give my assistant the relevant information about the helicopter and ask him to apply for a helicopter route, and then you can fly."

Germany's east, west, north, south, and north are only a few hundred kilometers deep, and the helicopter's endurance can meet all travel needs, which is simply not too convenient.

Stefan can understand Wu Qian's caution, and the safety of air traffic must not be neglected. It is normal for him not to want to use the helicopter he provided.

"Stefan, I like this villa very much, especially the environment, it is very quiet, thank you for your hospitality."

After introducing the relevant matters of the villa, several people sat down in the living room, Wu Qian asked: "The test car you mentioned on the phone earlier, which car is it from your group?"

"The newest M8."

While speaking, Stefan snapped his fingers, showing that he was looking forward to it.

Wu Qian raised his eyebrows lightly, and said, "Which GT sports car just launched?"

Stefan nodded and said, "It's the same platform, but the high-performance version to be tested will be available next year."

Wu Qian has always had a special liking for GT sports cars. The first car he bought, the Aston Martin DB11, was a GT sports car. This model is not a pure sports car. Increase mobility.

Wu Qian is no stranger to the M8 mentioned by Stefan. Although he is not interested in Baoma M5 due to some personal reasons, it does not prevent him from paying attention to this excellent brand.

The design of Baoma M8 is derived from a racing car inside Baoma, the M8 GTE. Because the M8 GTE won the Daytona 24-hour endurance race, Baoma created a series of data based on the M8 GTE. A civilian version, which is Baoma M8.

When the M8 was launched at that time, Wu Qian paid a little attention to the basic parameters, but finally gave up the plan because the appearance was not stunning enough and the engine was only a 4.4-liter V-shaped eight-cylinder engine.

But I didn't expect that it was just a relatively low-power version, and Baoma Group would launch a high-performance version in the coming year.

"May I ask, how high is the performance of the high-performance version?" Wu Qian asked with a smile.

This kind of thing is a corporate secret until it is officially reported by the media, but in the conversation between Wu Qian and Stefan, there is no such thing as a secret or not.

Seeing Wu Qian's very interested look, Stefan made a weird expression, and said, "Oh, Wu, I just said that compared with the current M8 version, the performance has improved a lot, you don't think it will be the same as your Phantom Bar……"

Wu Qian’s Phantom is a 9.0-liter V-type sixteen-cylinder engine specially customized by Rolls-Royce. There are not many in the world, but due to the orientation of the vehicle, the overall adjustment is very soft and not violent, but if necessary , Rolls-Royce engineers can make that engine burst out with wild power.

"The high-performance version of the M8 uses a 6.6-liter V-shaped twelve-cylinder engine, which has considerably improved performance compared to the version launched this year. It takes less than three seconds to accelerate from zero to [-] miles. How about the specific handling, you need to go to the Nürburgring Only after the test will we know."

"I believe that the market competitiveness of the high-performance version of M8 will increase a lot."

Stefan talked eloquently, and he had high expectations for the high-performance version of the M8.

Wu Qian said in his heart that the price of the ordinary version of the M8 is already very high in China. If it is a high-performance version, the price will definitely rise further. It has already touched the price range of a real performance car. He is not as optimistic about the M8 as Stefan. performance version of the market.

Not only Tianchao, but no matter where you look at it in the world, the price of Baoma M8 has reached a higher level, and the positioning is a bit embarrassing.

Wu Qian didn't say what was in his heart. This is not a topic that should be discussed between the two.

Moreover, Baoma Group does not expect to use M8 to make money at all.

The most profitable car model of a car company is definitely not the most expensive one. Just like Baoma Group, the model that helped Baoma Group make the most money is the X5, which accounts for the total revenue.

"I heard you say so wonderfully, I want to buy one, haha, when the M8 high-performance version is tested at the Nürburgring, please allow me to be the first customer in the world to own an M8."

Wu Qian said with a smile.

Stefan readily agreed, and once again invited Wu Qian to go to the Nürburgring to watch the testing process of the high-performance version of the M8.

"Stefan, I know that under normal circumstances the Nürburgring track will not be open, and it is basically used by your car companies for vehicle testing or competitions."

"I brought a car this time. I haven't driven that car since I bought it. I want to have fun on the track. I really want to see the prestige of 'Green Hell'. Is there a big problem?"

Wu Qian asked.

There are [-] or [-] formal racing tracks in the world, but not many of them are truly world-famous, and the Nürburgring is a very famous one.

The Nürburgring is located in the small town of Nürburgring about 23 kilometers south of Cologne, Germany. It once held a Formula One race for a period of time. It is divided into two tracks, the north and the south. The road is nearly [-] kilometers.

The "green area" mentioned by Wu Qian is the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The name comes from the high accident rate, which caused many drivers to lose their lives on this track. After rebuilding in 1984, security has been greatly improved.

However, the track drop of [-] meters and the complex and changeable corners still make the Nürburgring Nordschleife famous.

Now there are very few races arranged on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, which has basically become a test track for major car companies, and it is also a touchstone for performance cars!
For example, if a certain car company builds a confident performance car, it must go to the Nürburgring Nordschleife for a lap before it is released. Launch a new car launch event.

But there are occasional exceptions to this.

After hearing Wu Qian's words, Stefan immediately became very interested, and hurriedly asked, "No problem, Wu, what car did you bring?"

Wu Qian smiled embarrassedly and said, "The parent company is also an enterprise in your country, but this car is a French brand..."

Stefan clapped his hands and said, "Bugatti! Which one is it... I know, the new La Voiture Noire, right?"

There are many brands under Dasanren, but Bugatti is the only one that can build high-performance cars and is a French brand.

The trend of the top supercar company, anyone in the industry will be very concerned about it. In the early days, Bugatti held the La Voiture Noire conference in the UAE. At that time, the president of Bugatti said that the first batch of two supercars had been sold, and one of them was owned by a A rich man in heaven.

Based on the information he knew, Stefan immediately guessed that the toy Wu Qian brought was Bugatti La Voiture Noire.

It is true that Wu Qian bought the car and never drove it. At first, it was placed in a manor in England. Later, when the new gym opened, it was transported to the Tianchao for exhibition. This time, I seized the opportunity, and of course I will not let it go.

Wu Qian nodded without denying it.

Stefan made an exaggerated expression, and said: "There are only two cars in the world, Wu, you really surprised me. I have a request. I don't know if I can say it."

Wu Qian raised his hand and said, "Stefan, we are good friends, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Stefan organized the language, and then said: "Before your Bugatti La Voiture Noire goes on the track, can I take it back to the factory and study it..."

Wu Qian looked weird. He really didn't expect Stefan's request to be so interesting. A brand new Bugatti La Voiture Noire suffered from dissection before it had time to have fun on the track.

If cars could talk, La Voiture Noire would be swearing.

"To be honest, Wu, I am very interested in the engine of Bugatti's super sports car. When that car was released, I discussed related issues with engineers."

"I tried a lot of ways to order a car from the juniors, but they all failed. No matter what method I used, I was rejected..."

Stefan said helplessly.

It is really not an easy task to take a sneak peek at the technology of competitors.

Just like today’s car, the first two customers, except for Wu Qian, the other is a prince of the United Arab Emirates, no matter whether it is Stefan personally or in the family, no one is the friend of the prince. There is no way to speak.

Stefan knew that apart from the two on the market, there was actually another one under the name of Mr. Ferdinand, the chairman of the Big Three Group, which he couldn't even imagine...
