Chapter 2772 Bentley's Representative
The warrior engine factory has done a lot of things like developing engines for others, but they all need the manufacturers to provide R&D funds and buy out patents.
But Bentley's representatives are a bit arrogant. They believe that as the world's top cars, being able to use warrior engines is to give them face, so naturally there is no need to buy out any patents.
It was originally a negotiation with Mei Ting's sales company, but the negotiations broke down after a few times, because the positions of each other were destined to be impossible to reach the conclusion.
Speaking of the "Bentley", most of us actually know that it is one of the world's top luxury car brands that are on par with Rolls-Royce.
Since its birth, this car was as arrogant and conceited as the traditional British, and was not produced for ordinary people at all.
This means that we have to introduce the development history of Bentley.
In the early 20th century, when the early stages of automobile development, Walt Irving Bentley took inspiration from the racing stadium and came up with the idea of creating a car that focused on performance and was lighter in weight.
This was an era when people's understanding of cars was limited to vehicles, and his idea seemed avant-garde and alternative, and it was destined that Bentley was not born for the "popularity" from the beginning of its birth.
In 1912, the Bentley family raised funds to introduce French DFP sports cars and established the Bentley & Bentley company in 3 Hanover Square in London.
W.O. has made improvements to the introduced DFP and switched the engine to aluminum pistons, which has improved the performance of the car.
During World War I, W.O. was hired by the Royal Navy Air Force Technical Committee to improve the engine of the French Klegate.
The aluminum alloy piston he designed was soon widely used by aircraft engines. Not only did his improved aircraft engines be famous for BR1 and BR2, but he also accumulated a lot of manufacturing experience and mastered sufficient engineering technology.
So after the war, he was full of confidence and began to design and build his own car in a flash.
In early 1919, the new car was designed. At this time, the company also raised funds and established the later famous Bentley Motors Ltd..
At that time, the company's nominal share capital was 200,000 pounds, but in fact, the cash in the bank was only more than 18,000 pounds. Therefore, the company was short of funds from the beginning, which laid hidden dangers for Bentley's future financial difficulties.
From its establishment in 1912 to its invincibility on the Le Mans track in 1924, to its inclusion in the early 1930s due to its closure, until it was acquired by Volkswagen in 1998, Bentley has been tempered, but every Bentley car has a legendary experience.
In 1921, Bentley produced a 3-liter model with a power of 85 horsepower and a speed of up to 128 kilometers, which was the fastest mass-produced car at that time.
This model was considered to be a highly innovative product in the car industry at that time, and it pioneered the concept of performance cars.
This 3-liter car broke almost all endurance and speed records at that time. Later, its derivative models also won the 5-year Le Mans 24 Hours Championship for Bentley in one fell swoop.
Bentley has become famous all over the world since then. In 1998, Bentley was acquired by Volkswagen, and some people were worried that Bentley's image would be changed.
But the elegant RedLabel launched later completely eliminated people's concerns, and the Germans did not change Bentley, which was still pure in British royal descent.
After seeing this, everyone will understand that yes, Bentley, as a top British brand, actually did not belong to the UK, but was acquired by Volkswagen.
However, for the sake of sales and brand awareness, the Germans did not change his style, but instead developed him as a brand.
This will maintain and create Bentley's current brand status.
Otherwise, he would have become a branch of Volkswagen and produced Volkswagen, so where would he have the Bentley?
Speaking of which, the UK is also miserable. Rolls-Royce and Bentley are both products that the British are proud of. As a result, they do not belong to the UK now, which is also a kind of sadness!
However, this kind of thing did not affect the arrogance of Bentley, so the negotiations were deadlocked.
The representative who came to negotiate this time was Bentley's executive president Irving, a direct descendant of Bentley's founder Mr. Bentley.
As a descendant of a family with such a famous name in the history of world automobiles, he naturally has his own pride.
Irving is 32 years old and has his own unique insights and keen perspective on cars, so he can become Bentley's executive president at this age.
Speaking of which, as old empires, they have an unparalleled sense of pride in their hearts.
Even the United States, according to their evaluation, is just a country without history, but it just happens to become a developed country with no background at all.
Irving is a typical British man, so he has such a serious thought. Although he looks polite, his arrogance is hard to like.
Mei Ting is a soft-hearted person on the outside and strong-hearted person on the inside. After several contacts, she no longer meets him. In fact, she just doesn't want to scold him.
This made Owen very angry, but helpless. He felt that he could come to this small town to negotiate to give face to the Warrior Group. As a result, the boss of a sales company dared to be so unreasonable to him!
But what can he do if he, a British man, in the Military Reclamation City?
He tried to contact the military reclamation city official and wanted to use his identity to attract their attention, but he didn't even miss him.
Although his identity is well-known in the UK, it seems that he has no weight in the customer base of Military Reclamation City.
Even Mei Ting doesn’t care, let alone the city. Don’t buy an engine if you are so awesome? No one invites you.
The reason why Irving came to Sofia Restaurant is that he often heard people talk about it in the hotel, so he came to try it.
The group of five people originally wanted to book a private room, but they didn't have any more choice but to sit in the hall.
Just as he came in, his brows frowned because the smell made him feel uncomfortable.
You should know that most of the white rice is actually very light, and even dishes like fried steak are not rich when served.
But what's the story about the strong roasted lamb in a Western restaurant?
And he found that it seemed that roasted lamb was on every table, and whether Chinese or foreigners, they ordered every table.
After sitting down, he questioned the waiter unhappily:
"Isn't this a Western restaurant? What are you doing?"
The waiter's English proficiency was limited, so he didn't understand that he was talking. He waved to Sophia and called him over.
Now Sally has gone to the new store, Sophia is responsible for the operation of the old store, while Tom is running on both sides, and Liu Qinghua is responsible for the purchase of all raw materials.
Sofia smiled brightly: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
