Chapter 1238 : Not a Gentleman!
Seeing Roskov, Maupo hurried over.
"Roskov, my friend. Why are you so interested in coming to the exhibition hall? News Day is still waiting for tomorrow."
Roskov is not old this year, and he looks like he is in his thirties. When he sees Maupo, he immediately reports to smile. However, he has no answer to his question.
The previous turbulent situation in Russia and the domestic economic downturn have brought extremely painful blows to all walks of life in the country. Roger Automobile Economic and Trade Company is a new enterprise. If you want to build its business, you need a clear route and many brands that can adapt to the Russian automobile market.
Russia's automobile market is actually a very distorted market. Automobile consumption is like the social form of this country, showing serious polarization.
In terms of low-end models, models mainly based on the local brand Lada occupy half of the consumer market. In terms of mid-end models and some low-end models, Toyota, Honda, and many foreign models are contending, making this less large consumer market seem a bit scattered.
In the hands of Roger Automobile Economic and Trade Company, it has now obtained the agency sales rights of three brands Kia, Hyundai and Nissan. The company is currently interested in making efforts to high-end imported models and luxury cars targeting the top Russian wealthy people.
In this case, there are actually not many choices left for Roskov.
It can be said that Europa League is a relatively good partner in theory. This brand not only has high-end models comparable to Mercedes-Benz, but also has Ricohn, known as one of the "three diamonds of luxury cars in the world".
If Roger wants to simply do car sales, then Europa League is undoubtedly suitable.
However, it is obvious that Roger's ambitions are more than that.
Seeing that Roskov was deliberately alienated, Maupo was not embarrassed. He followed Roskov's gaze and said, "Roskov, my friend. Are you interested in this red flag?"
Roskov spread his hands and replied in English with a rolled tongue sound: "It's not bad. It seems that China Automobile has developed very rapidly over the years. I remember when I went to China before, the Hongqi brand could not even make an intermediate car. But now it seems that they are doing well in the field of top luxury cars."
When Mau Bo heard this, he curled his lips, "It may not be."
"Oh?" Seeing his expression, Roskov said: "Mr. Mauper, do you have any different opinions?"
Maupo smiled complacently, "If we talk about the technology equipped on the two models of Zhengxin Hongqi, it is quite amazing to be honest. Whether it is the unprecedented holographic projection technology or the magnetic levitation suspension that claims to be able to achieve zero bumps, it is a rare breakthrough in application technology.
But, my friend. Sometimes technology cannot make a car top-notch.”
Speaking of this, Mauper pointed to the Hongqi promotional video on the LED screen where Zhengxin staff was debugging, and said: "Look, they are proud of their technology, but you have to know, my friend.
The connotation of top luxury cars lies in respect of tradition and the ultimate goal of making machinery possible for humans. In other words, the first design standard for top luxury cars is to have doubts and wait-and-see attitudes towards all new technologies. This is not conservative, but for the best reliability and the best user experience.
Take Ricohn for example. Our company did not start using load-bearing bodies until 1965, and this technology has been used by our competitors for ten years. However, it is undeniable that Ricohn Abraham, which we produced in 1965, is the best car in the world to use load-bearing bodies.
For example, Rolls-Royce did not install starter motors for their products until 1919, and its competitors used this technology five years ago.
Making classics more classic is the quality that top luxury cars should have. Instead of using new technologies that have gimmicks but have not yet been verified by the market and users to increase their value.
Zhengxin has used this routine on his X-car's Chunjun. In our industry, it is just a sensationalism."
Li Fanyu and Cheng Ke were standing not far from the two. They naturally heard Mo Bo's words.
"Who is this person? Why are you so annoying? I'll scold him!"
Someone was chewing the root of Zhengxin’s tongue behind his back, and Cheng Ke’s temper immediately became angry, rolled up his sleeves and was about to go forward.
Li Fanyu quickly pulled him away.
"Wait, let's see. Ricoen also makes top luxury cars. I don't believe that their people are so uncultured and speak bad things behind their backs for no reason. If you can pay attention to us behind the scenes, the person around him must be very important."
He glanced at Roskov deeply and said to Cheng Ke.
Although Cheng Ke didn't go up, it was obvious that some people in the crowd disagreed with Mau Bo's words.
"Mr. Mauper, the prerequisite for conservatism is to not understand a technology thoroughly.
It did take five years to use the ignition system that competitors use, but that was because the success rate of the first ignition of cars at that time was less than 70%.
For five years without using this technology, we have been looking for ways to enable Rolls-Royce to start with just one turn of keys.
And we do this because of our brand culture; make good better - if not, we will create!
To be honest, if these magnetic levitation technologies and system-wide technologies are from the R&D department of Rolls-Royce, we will definitely use them on our own models as soon as possible.
The true essence of top luxury cars is to provide users with the best. Under this premise, we can follow traditions, but at the same time, we are not opposed to epoch-making for the automotive industry.
In addition, my respected gentleman and gentleman never express his opinions behind the object of his opinion.
This is Geneva, the global automotive technology exchange center. If you have any thoughts about this young brand, then I suggest you might as well raise this young brand in person during the exchange session after the media day.
I think if you can get face-to-face teaching from a veteran like you, they will be happy to accept it."
This man is not young, with a thick beard on his face, but his suit is meticulously taken care of.
His voice was loud, with a very authentic London accent. In an instant, it attracted the attention of the onlookers.
"Oh! Oh my god, Sir Gerald!"
When people saw this person's appearance, they all exclaimed.
