Li Fanyu has actually wanted to come to Austria for a long time, but due to various reasons, he never had the chance.
Not for Schönbrunn Palace or the State Opera House in Vienna, nor for Salzburg Castle and Mozart's former residence. He is not a young man and has no interest in these places of interest.
The reason for my interest in Austria is the country’s automotive industry.
In the EU's automotive industry, if one country is the strongest, then many people's first reaction is Germany.
It is true that whether it is in the time and space before the history of automobiles changed, whether it is the super luxury car brand with BBA and Yishuishui, or the original Euroleas Fast in this time and space, Germany With his mechanical attainments and outstanding historical accumulation, he has indeed set a considerable example and led the automotive industry.
However, among all the EU countries present here, without Austria, the German automobile industry would undoubtedly become a castle in the air and the moon hanging in the well.
The industry in Austria is very unique. It is not like other EU countries, which are all century-old factories. In this country, the degree of nationalization of enterprises is very high.
How high?
Basically speaking, it is on par with China in the 1970s.
Here, state-owned enterprises control 95% of basic industries and more than 85% of power industries. The output value and number of employees involved account for 70% of the country's total!
In the automotive field, there are approximately 700 companies in the Austrian automotive industry, with more than 200,000 employees and an annual turnover of approximately 21.5 billion euros. If related industries and services are included, the total employment in the automobile industry can reach 370,000.
Let's put it this way, in this country, one out of every eight jobs is in the automotive industry.
However, unlike the development path of Germany's automobile industry, Austria's automobile industry is not focused on complete vehicles, but vigorously develops the spare parts industry.
In Austria, there are more than 600 suppliers fully or partially engaged in the automotive industry, with an annual output value of more than 12 billion euros and a steady increase of 8% per year.
Ninety percent of the products produced by these companies are exported to the EU and internationally, and about 90% of the products in this industry are exported. Among them, the production of engines and transmissions alone accounts for more than 2.3 million units every year.
When he was dealing with the British Sino-British Alliance Group, Li Fanyu’s idea was based on the Austrian automobile industry as a template.
Listening to Li Fanyu talking about the Austrian automobile industry that he was not interested in at all like a fat man counting all the Gundam figures in the past, Cheng Ke pouted: "I said, you are now Can’t you just feel the charm of architecture and history while standing in Schönbrunn Palace? Look at this, the portrait of Marie-Antoinette as a girl! This is the only one that has been handed down. ”
"Marie Antoinette?" Li Fanyu frowned, "Who is that?"
Cheng Ke rolled his eyes, "Louis XVI's queen!"
Seeing the confusion on Li Fanyu's face, Cheng Ke was completely defeated: "Do you want to ask who Louis XVI is?"
Li Fanyu chuckled and scratched the back of his head.
As a science student, he has never studied history well. China has been in China for five thousand years and has not yet figured out its own affairs. How can it bother to deal with matters abroad?
Cheng Ke pinched him hard, then looked at the portrait of the queen in her youth in the corridor of Schönbrunn Palace, and said with longing: "Although Louis XVI was a failed monarch, his relationship with Queen Mary But the relationship was very good. Even in Louis XVI's most difficult days, she always stayed by his side. Even in the end, when faced with the tide of the French Revolution, she did not give up. But he went to the guillotine with Louis XVI. Before Louis XVI died, the executioner asked him if he knew that he would end 800 years of French history. Louis XVI's answer was to shut up and do your job. Her last dignity as a monarch, Queen Mary stepped on the executioner's foot when she was pushed to the guillotine. Her last words in her life were, I'm sorry, you know I didn't mean to maintain the cultivation of a royal family." /
"..."
Li Fanyu looked at Cheng Ke, whose eyes were full of little stars, and felt simply inexplicable!
"Damn, I finally remembered." He pointed at the painting on the corridor and said: "Isn't Louis XVI the one who died on the guillotine he improved?"
Finally matching the task with his limited historical knowledge, Li Fanyu expressed considerable contempt for the pair of desperate mandarin ducks;
"What the **** is the difference between this and being killed on the road while driving a sports car produced by yourself? I'll be laughed at and be in disgrace for eternity, hurry up, let's go, this is too unlucky."
"Li! Fan! Fool!"
Looking at the disappearing piece of wood, Cheng Ke felt like he was about to explode.
"Straight male cancer! Humph!"
As she chased him out, she angrily condemned him behind her.
……
It was just a way to visit Schönbrunn Palace. After walking around with Cheng Ke, the two took a car directly to the F1 headquarters in the east of Vienna.
After Cheng Ke negotiated, he met Masakar, who is in charge of parts supplier affairs in F1.
Massakar attaches great importance to Zhengxin, a young car company that has developed rapidly in recent years, and is interested in getting involved in F1. After Cheng Ke looked through it and talked with Li Fanyu for more than two hours, after learning that Zhengxin had developed a power system suitable for F1 racing cars, Masakar immediately said that he would immediately submit a power supplier to the headquarters for Zhengxin Apply, and kindly invited Li Fanyu to visit the F1 headquarters.
Coincidentally, Bernie Ecclestone, who had just finished the FIA meeting, just returned to the headquarters.
With Masakar's help, Li Fanyu had another brief meeting with the F1 boss.
Although Zhengxin Team has not set foot in F1 in the past two years, it has achieved dazzling results in the previous Dakar and Le Mans. Formula FE has gained considerable vitality in the past two years due to the addition of the Zhengshin K2 team. Both the number of viewers and the number of live broadcasts in China have increased significantly.
This is a very interesting thing in Bernie's opinion.
In recent years, F1 has fallen into a strange circle. In order to cater to the market, competitions and various systems have been changed. But every change has the opposite effect.
It is said that the more you change, the worse it will be.
Recently, due to dissatisfaction with the monopoly of power unit suppliers, the veteran Red Bull Racing Team once submitted an application to withdraw from the race.
This made Bernie's already gray hair become bald.
Now, seeing Li Fanyu ambitiously setting his sights on engine supply, Bernie also started to think about it.
"Mr. Li, why don't you just form a team and join the F1 family?"
Facing Li Fanyu, he asked.
