Endless Gods and Heroes

Wang Tieniu's motorcade slowly drove out of the small road where the hotel is located, heading towards Ciro Menotti Street where Maserati's headquarters is located.

From a distance, Wang Tieniu saw a huge trident sculpture reflecting metallic luster standing on the roadside. Wang Tieniu knew that Maserati's headquarters had arrived.

When Wang Tieniu's motorcade stopped next to an arc-shaped building decorated with glass curtain walls, Wang Tieniu saw Rod, who had met him at the banquet the day before yesterday, standing in a suit with a group of Maserati executives. Wait for yourself in front of the building.

"Welcome to Maserati, Mr. Wang." After Wang Tieniu and the goddesses parked the car, Rod couldn't wait to give him a warm hug. "I can't wait to share information about Maserati with you and your family." ~Everything.

Wang Tieniu raised his head and looked at the huge English letters and the huge Trident logo on the roof of the Maserati headquarters. He couldn't help but sigh that in terms of car logos alone, Maserati's Trident is definitely at the top. This car logo is really - It's so handsome now.

"The total area of ​​our factory headquarters is approximately 5.1W square meters. The entire factory area has been completely updated in recent years. This high tower and this office building are our new administrative center, and the ground floor of the entire office building is Our showroom." Rhodes led Wang Tieniu and the goddesses to the showroom, where many staff members wearing dark blue Maserati uniforms were already waiting for them in the showroom.

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Tieniu saw a white Maserati sports car with blue and red parked quietly in the exhibition hall. Seeing Wang Tieniu cast his eyes on the exhibition car, Rod proudly introduced, "Wang Sir, this is our main sports car MC20. You must know that the sales of this car are very good around the world. We produced a total of several thousand MC20 units last year. Although we have worked very hard overtime to produce, the order It’s still scheduled half a year or even a year later.”

Wang Tieniu nodded and took the graceful car for a spin. I have to say that the aesthetics of this sports car are quite online, and the price starting at 237W is also cheaper than the mainstream Niu Malun's main model. Quite a few, and Maserati's MC20 is divided into three versions: soft-top, hard-top and first-run limited edition. There are not so many time-consuming, labor-intensive and brain-cell-consuming options. All of these have created this explosive sports car and saved the world. Maserati was in poor financial shape before.

There is also another Maserati sports car GranTurismo, or GTS for short, parked in the showroom. However, the popularity of this sports car is very low. The price of 188W to 229.8W cannot attract any attention of Wang Tieniu. Instead, he went into the showroom to display some A medium-sized SUV named Grega made Wang Tieniu take a second look.

"You are going to compete against Porsche, the Levant against Cayenne, and if nothing else goes wrong, this car should be against McCann." Wang Tieniu pointed at the car and asked Rhodes with a smile.

"Yes, Porsche has swept the world with its McCann and Cayenne in recent years, and it is especially popular in the Chinese market. Naturally, we have to learn from their strengths." Rhodes smiled slightly awkwardly but was calm. Admitted, but the fact is that these two cars have no sales in China [Song Cao] The reason is that Maserati's poor quality control in the past has dissuaded a large number of consumers.

Wang Tieniu smiled and followed Rhodes' footsteps deeper into the exhibition hall without making too many comments.

When you reach the depths of the exhibition hall, you will see a completely different scene. Countless old Maserati racing cars, classic cars and some classic models from history fill the entire exhibition hall. The photos, trophies and models displayed on the wall are worse than those of Ferrari. Not much, obviously this is a sports car manufacturer with a long history.

"Maserati first participated in racing in 1926, and in 1957 the 250F won the Formula One World Championship." Rod introduced, caressing each classic car, "In the 30 years of official participation in racing, Maserati has won nearly 500 race wins and countless class wins, a brilliant record, plus even after Maserati officially retired from racing in 1957, there were still many private drivers driving Maserati racing cars or cars equipped with Maserati engines. Won the game.”

Wang Tieniu nodded noncommittally. This may be the reason why classic car culture is so popular in Europe, because they have so many car companies that are over a century old, and countless stars have been born in the cultural history of these car companies. Models, these models have now become the best memories of those aging Europeans. On the other hand, China's modern automobile industry has only a few decades of history, and due to various reasons, no star models have been born, let alone Not to mention classic sports cars, this is also destined to prevent the classic car culture from becoming popular in China.

Rod asked Maserati employees who spoke Chinese and English to explain Maserati's glorious history to Wang Tieniu. Later, Wang Tieniu didn't seem too interested, so he decisively took Wang Tieniu to the next step, visiting the MC20 production factory.

"Our MC20 has achieved 0 inventory." Rod proudly told Wang Tieniu, and Wang Tieniu strolled through the Maserati production line and watched many white-haired workers of the level of grandfathers and ladies at work, without even a moment's notice. Know how to feel.

"The retirement age of Tieniu is as high as 67 years old, so many of our employees have to continue working after the age of 60." Seeing Wang Tieniu's eyes, Rod shrugged and actively explained, "The average age of our employees is over 45 years old. I think this is also a factor that prevents us from further increasing production."

"With so many experienced workers here, I have no worries about Maserati's ability to maintain high quality as always." Wang Tieniu smiled and gave a positive comment. In fact, it doesn't matter what he thinks, and the MC20 does not If he has a car now, he won't order too many cars, because waiting in line for a hundred years for a car worth 2-3 million is obviously not his style.

After a quick tour of the Maserati MC20 assembly factory, Rhodes took Wang Tieniu out of the building and came to a track inside their factory.

"Mr. Wang, are you and your family interested in test driving the MC20 and GTS?" Rod smiled and pointed at the Maserati sports cars parked in two rows.

0Please ask for flowers......

"Of course!" Zheng Yao couldn't wait to cheer before Wang Tieniu agreed. She was so happy to be able to drive different supercars on different tracks.

The goddesses also showed quite emotional expressions. After yesterday's 488 track experience, they have already experienced the charm of traffic jams, and today they feel like they can drive different supercars on different tracks. Who would say no?

Seeing the goddesses putting on their helmets and going for a test drive with smiles on their faces, Julia couldn't help but gently pulled Wang Tieniu's sleeves.

"Julia, you just crashed yesterday and want to run on the track again today?" Wang Tieniu was quite speechless and asked Elisa to translate | Who would have thought that Rong Lia, who was already her woman after hearing Wang Tieniu's words, was speechless. The teacher learned the unique skill - acting like a baby.

"Please~~." Using simple English words that she had learned not long ago, Julia threw herself directly into Wang Tieniu's arms, her big blue watery eyes full of pleading, and even steel would turn into wind. Finger soft.

0

"Well, remember to tell anyone that you are over 18 years old, and behave naturally." Wang Tieniu was finally defeated, and Eliza told Julia again and again, even though a Yaomi robot had already entered. Her body gives her immortal skills, but if she crashes into a car, it will still cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. For example, crashing into a traffic jam in front of everyone and almost being scrapped without leaving anyone unscathed is something that can never be done again.

"Boo", the happy Julia kissed Wang Tieniu hard on the face and ran quickly to the goddesses in the distance. She also had to hurry up to register and line up for a test drive.

Since Maserati's MC20 and GTS are slightly inferior to Ferrari's 488 track version in terms of power and handling, each of the goddesses said they were fine after just two laps of the test drive, and today's test drive The event went very smoothly without any hiccups, except that Julia was a little reluctant to leave.

Wang Tieniu, who was thinking about his appointment with Mars at noon, took the goddesses and politely said goodbye to Rhodes. Rhodes did not ask Wang Tieniu if he wanted to order the MC20. The rows of supercars at the door of Wang Tieniu silently told him that Wang Tieniu Tieniu only plays with hypercars, and his warm hospitality to Wang Tieniu was also because of the instructions of Mr. Kan Air, the head of the group.

Fortunately, the small town of Modena is not big, so when Wang Tieniu and the goddesses rushed to the Francescana restaurant in Mars, he was still sweating profusely and preparing lunch with his team of chefs.

"I really regret agreeing to you, Wang." Mas complained to Wang Tieniu in a hurry. In order to receive Wang Tieniu and his party, he also specially adjusted the arrangement of the seats in the restaurant, crammed in countless sets of tables and chairs, and then put them in place. It’s enough to entertain Wang Tieniu’s large team.

"Hamas, thank you." Wang Tieniu laughed and sat down casually under the guidance of the waiter. He began to look forward to what kind of surprise the top three restaurants in the world could bring him. .
