Chapter 413 BMW Motorcycle President's Self-Promotion
Sun Zhengxiao, chairman of Yucheng Jialing Group, spoke to a man who looked like a secretary beside him: "Xiao Xu, who is the person around Mr. Li? Have you found out?"
When the man named "Xiao Xu" heard this, he said with a distressed look on his face: "Mr. Sun, I have only found out that this young man is named Zhao Guoyang. He appeared at the booth of Siyang Group two days ago."
"But, in the next two days, he went to the exhibition hall platform of an unknown small factory... The specific situation is really hard to say!"
When Sun Zhengxiao heard this, he frowned slightly and waved to "Xiao Xu".
On the other side, Li Qinan, the boss of the Chongqi Group, happened to look at Sun Zhengxiao. When he saw the impatient face, Li Qinan felt happy.
Speaking of which, Li Qinan and Sun Zhengxiao are also considered old acquaintances.
Both are members of the China Automobile Industry Association and vice presidents of the association's internal motorcycle branch.
At any meeting, everyone looks up and sees each other, so naturally they become familiar with each other.
After seeing Sun Zhengxiao, Li Qinan thought for a moment, then greeted the two entourages beside him, got up and walked towards Sun Zhengxiao.
Seeing Li Qinan slowly sitting beside him, Sun Zhengxiao was stunned.
Li Qinan was quite generous. He greeted happily and said, "Mr. Sun, why don't you welcome me?"
As soon as Li Qinan started, Sun Zhengxiao immediately reacted: "No, Mr. Li, please sit down quickly, please sit down quickly!"
After sitting down, looking at the second speaker who was already in place on the stage, Li Qinan smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, we must listen to this speech carefully."
Sun Zhengxiao was stunned for a moment, then started to speak: "Yes, Mr. Isenmeier, general manager of the motorcycle business department of German Bavaria Machinery Manufacturing Factory Co., Ltd. He is a big shot in the world motorcycle industry, and he is going to tremble in the industry."
Li Qinan nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Sun. Speaking of which, it's not just Mr. Ethanmel, but there are quite a lot of big guys coming to attend the conference this time in our Asian Motorcycle Summit Forum!"
"Oh?" Sun Zhengxiao was stunned for a moment and smiled, "I hope to hear it clearly!"
Li Qinan grinned and said, "Mr. Sun is deliberately trying to test me? I don't believe those big guys, wouldn't you know?"
Sun Zhengxiao's old face turned red and he coughed, "Well, Mr. Li, let's tell the truth. The big guys I know about are Suzuki Kei, the chairman of Suzuki Group, and Honda Sojiro, the president of Honda Co., Ltd., I really don't know much about the rest..."
Upon hearing this, Li Qinan nodded to the stage and said, "No, Mr. Ethanmel, Mr. Sun has seen it too. In addition... the old man sitting in front of him, have you forgotten?"
Sun Zhengxiao looked towards Li Qinan's finger and suddenly saw Li Kejian who was communicating in a low voice with Zhao Guoyang.
Seeing this figure, Sun Zhengxiao looked at him and said, "Uh, Mr. Li, you said that, I really missed the position."
"Although Mr. Li is too broad to be considered a person in our motorcycle industry, his identity here is undoubtedly enough to be called "big boss"..."
"But, why did Mr. Li sit with a young man who is still not dry? I don't understand this very much! Just because he was at the booth of Siyang Group two days ago?"
After hearing this, a smile appeared on Li Qinan's face: "Mr. Sun, it seems that you still have a little understanding of this young man!"
When Li Qinan seemed to be very meaningful, Sun Zhengxiao's eyes condensed.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Guoyang for a long time, then slowly asked: "Mr. Li, don't tell lies in front of the real person. I know this young man named Zhao Guoyang very little."
"I don't know what the specific situation is. Can Mr. Li give me some advice?"
Li Qinan was amused when he heard this: "I dare not take the advice. In short, this young man is definitely not simple."
"As for what kind of ability he has, I haven't collected any detailed information now, so I can't tell you why..."
"However, Xue Ming, the vice president of our Chongqi Group, seems to have dealt with him and has a deep impression of him, so I am very interested in this young man!"
Li Qinan seemed to remember something, and then said again: "By the way, Mr. Sun. I heard from the people below that Zhao Guoyang is going to give a speech today."
"Let's listen carefully in a while and see what novel things he can say!"
Seeing Li Qinan's interest-filled appearance, Sun Zhengxiao nodded subconsciously.
In fact, although he kept saying that he didn't care much about Zhao Guoyang, in fact, he didn't think so in his heart.
Who is Li Kejian and Mr. Li? Who doesn’t know in the industry? Can a young man who can be seen by him be a simple person?
Li Qinan is right. When Zhao Guoyang's turn comes to the stage to give a speech later, I really need to pay more attention!
While Li Qinan and Sun Zhengxiao were thinking about their own thoughts, the beautiful host on the stage was already introducing the new guest beside you.
"Dear guests, let us welcome the BMW Motor Company and General Manager of the Motorcycle Division, Mr. Ethanmeier, to give you a wonderful speech! Welcome everyone!"
BMW Automobile Company, its full name is German Bavarian Machinery Manufacturing Factory Co., Ltd.
In the eyes of many people, BMW is one of the world's most famous automobile companies. However, few people know that it is actually the master of the world's motorcycle industry.
Ethan Mell, president of BMW Motorcycle Division, has a technical background and a double doctorate in the machinery manufacturing industry and the automotive industry. It is definitely one of the best technical experts in the industry.
His ability to come to participate in the Asian motorcycle summit forum reported by Sheep City in person, to some extent, also shows BMW Motor Corporation's expectations for the Asian market.
The title of Ethanmeier's speech was "The Key to the Development of Modern Motorcycle Technology".
He talked about the development of motorcycle engine power from the small displacement dispute of 50ml and 80ml. He also analyzed their respective advantages and disadvantages from the aspects of vehicle insurance and emissions of two displacements.
Ethanmel then introduced the topic to the comparison between two-stroke engines and four-stroke engines.
He looked around the stage and spoke confidently: "Based on some feedback from the current European motorcycle market, I think that if a two-stroke engine is to successfully withstand the competition of four-stroke engines and continue to exist for a long time, it must achieve similar performance to a four-stroke engine under the conditions of maintaining production and low cost."
"In other words, the technology of two-stroke engines must be further improved on the existing basis. This will be a huge challenge for major motorcycle companies around the world!"
When Ethanmel was expounding his point of view, Li Kejian turned his head and asked Zhao Guoyang, "Guoyang, Mr. Ethanmel, you must have heard of it? What do you think of his point of view?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guoyang thought for a moment: "Old Li, Mr. Ethanmel of BMW, of course I have heard of it."
"I also agree with most of the suggestions he just proposed for improving the two-stroke engine. However..."
"But what?" Li Kejian immediately became energetic when he heard this.
Zhao Guoyang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "However, I think our domestic motorcycle companies should not consider this kind of thing first."
"You know, even the four-stroke engine technology has just been launched. It is too difficult and the cost is too high to further improve, improve the two-stroke engine technology, and raise it to another level."
“And even if the research is successful, it is impossible for a four-stroke engine to be widely used…”
Zhao Guoyang pointed to the stage and said, "So, I think this kind of thankless thing is enough to give it to big companies like BMW and Suzuki."
"After all, everyone is facing different situations. Our domestic cars do not have the ability to be 'high, exquisite, and sharp' yet."
Zhao Guoyang said this very simple.
Indeed, the engine technology mentioned by Ethanmel just now is not advanced?
There is no doubt that it must be advanced!
However, if you want to develop it successfully, the energy and money it takes to be spent is also an amazing number.
At present, when the international and domestic motorcycle industries are moving towards large displacement and four-stroke engines, it is really not cost-effective to spend so much effort to improve the two-stroke engine.
Perhaps, it will be better to do such a thing when the domestic motorcycle industry level reaches a certain level in the future.
After Zhao Guoyang's explanation came out, Li Kejian nodded repeatedly and said yes.
In fact, this view that Ethanmeier said was previously seen by Li Kejian in international motorcycle journals.
At that time, although he was amazed at the results of this two-stroke engine technology innovation, he did not particularly agree with domestic motorcycle companies to follow the trend.
Mr. Li did not consider this issue from the cost aspect, but he felt that the current major motorcycle companies in China really did not have this technical ability.
"By the way, if any motorcycle company asks Guoyang to intervene, maybe you can consider this matter!" Looking at Zhao Guoyang who was calm beside him, Li Kejian secretly complained in his heart.
On the podium, Ethanmel's speech continued.
After talking about the technological innovation of the engine, the boss explained his views from two aspects: improvement of the cooling system and lightweighting of the walking mechanism.
Finally, Ethanmel introduced the application of brake anti-lock devices (ABs) on motorcycles.
In fact, the BMW company where Esanmeier is located was indeed the first to use this new technology on its K 100 motorcycle the year before yesterday.
When he talks about it now, he naturally feels a bit proud.
