The meeting in the R&D center lasted for a whole morning, and it was not until around 10:20 noon that Li Fanyu walked out of the center surrounded by a circle of Zhengxin senior R&D engineers.
The LA data package has been handed over to Liu Yu. Although strictly speaking, Dark Horse LA’s research and development is mainly led by XCAR, as the first model to officially enter the European market, both technically and All regulations require pure technical institutions such as R&D centers to implement them.
After finishing this part, Li Fanyu felt at ease.
My own work has been completed, and the remaining issues are communicated between the Dark Horse Factory and the R&D Center.
Currently, Zhengxin Group is actively communicating with various EU departments to negotiate for Zhengxin BMW, Audi and other brands to enter the European market. According to the EU's ethics, this work cannot be smooth sailing. When he came to Birmingham yesterday, Li Fanyu received reports from the heads of several departments of the group.
In the report, we learned that as the earliest brand of the Zhengxin Group, the Audi part is relatively smooth at present and has obtained the EU certification license. We can further proceed with localized production.
However, several brands that were established later, such as X-CAR, Land Rover, and BMW, a pure electric brand that Zhengxin had high hopes for, did not have such good luck.
For XCAR, the EU's opinion is that it is not environmentally friendly enough. In addition to directly vetoing localized production at the hearing, it also imposed certain tax restrictions on vehicle importers.
That's fine.
The output of all XCAR models is not high, and most users who really like this brand will not spend more than one million in taxes. Even in the form of high-tax imports of complete vehicles, Li Fanyu is not worried that this brand will be popular in Europe.
Because even before contact with the EU, a large part of XCARs were settled and used by European car owners in the EU by various means.
It doesn’t matter to Land Rover. Currently, a large amount of productivity in the British production base is idle. The branch is planning to mass-produce the Land Rover-branded Range Rover and Discovery models at the British base. The reason for this decision is that the current general manager of the British branch, Li Kai, turned out to be the executive director of the Land Rover brand. I am quite familiar with the positioning of this brand. After inspecting the British market, I found that this luxury SUV has certain market potential. And the current main profit points of the British branch are Rolls-Royce, Bentley and MINI. After introducing two models of this brand, a high-end four-piece set can be formed. That is, the small luxury car Mini, the luxury sports coupe Bentley, and the luxury sports SUV Land Rover.
From this point of view, Land Rover can take the lead in the UK and wait until it is successful by using common dealers with Rolls-Royce and Bentley before entering Europe.
But BMW was rejected by the European Certification Committee, and Li Fanyu was a little confused.
As the most capable and adept regional alliance in the world at flaunting its emphasis on environmental protection, the European Union has always given the green light to clean energy and energy-saving products.
BMW’s current product line already covers the BMW 7 Series electric car, the BMW I8 pure electric supercar and the I2 economical B-class car.
The motor and battery technologies used in these three products are currently the world's highest-level environmentally friendly car solutions.
Under such circumstances, Li Fanyu was confused by the European Commission's targeting of BMW.
The EU Certification Committee's statement is that BMW, as a brand new power model brand, has been on the market for no more than three years. There is no good guarantee in terms of safety, and given the current road conditions and electric pile network infrastructure in the EU, there is no way to open the current Zhengxin interface.
According to their requirements, if BMW wants to enter all regions of the EU, it must first have a feasibility report of more than five years and 10,000 pure electric vehicles driving safely without accidents. In addition, if you want BMW to enter the EU, Zhengxin needs to provide current charging interface information and a complete set of electrical solution information.
This is a bit embarrassing.
The accident-free report of 10,000 pure electric vehicles is easy to solve. Not to mention China, there are currently about 10,000 I2s in the UK, which are used as shared cars in the streets and alleys of various large cities.
It is not difficult to issue a report as long as the requested time is up.
But you must know that the BMW brand has only been established for more than two years. According to the European Commission's five-year accident-free reporting requirements, at least it will take more than two years to wait!
The automobile market is changing rapidly. Let alone two years, even two months, you may face a completely unfamiliar market. Pure electric vehicles are now on the rise. By entering the market one day earlier, Zhengxin Group can gain greater market initiative by relying on the excellent technology and good performance of BMW's current products and other electric vehicle products.
So Li Fanyu cannot afford to wait for more than two years.
After finishing his visit to the Bi Minghan R&D Center and handling the research and development matters of Dark Horse LA, he immediately took a private jet to Munich.
Prepare to personally go to the negotiation site to sit down and compete with the EU's hearing committee.
On the plane.
Looking at the white clouds floating outside the hanging window, Li Fanyu felt that his life was really weird. If he didn't eat well, he would be so busy.
For a while, I need to think of ways to make my life wonderful. And in the next while, I will be traveling all over the world without any time to breathe.
Looking at the laptop on his lap, he sighed leisurely.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid, why do you think I am so miserable?"
"..." Benben was silent for a while when he heard his complaint, and then replied: "Dad, through comparative analysis on the Internet, Benben thinks that you claim to be a hard-working person seems a bit unobjective. Your wealth It exceeds 99.99% of the people in the world. Among the remaining 0.001%, your age is much lower than the average age of 49. So to sum up, At least in terms of material things, there is no connection between you and the word bitter."
Li Fanyu was stunned. He found that through the autonomous learning function, Benben became more and more humane except for the lack of human humor in some places and Thailand's reliance on data analysis.
This made him angry: "Can't I just pretend to be cool! Where did you get all this nonsense! Have you found out the reason why the EU Certification Committee rejected BMW that you were asked to check?"
Under his scolding, Benben felt aggrieved, "Dad, I have found out. Currently, among the auto manufacturers in the EU, the Liu family is conducting product research similar to the three models positioned by BMW. Among them, There are four in Germany alone: Mercedes-Benz, Euroleague, and German..."
After hearing the information given by Benben, Li Fanyu understood.
The EU is buying itself time!
Faced with this situation, Li Fanyu not only sneered.
Want to keep dad out?
What you think is beautiful!
