Niu Xiaoqiang saw that Linda was interested, and felt that it was promising to make money, so he immediately replied: "This material is related to carbon elements, I call it carbon steel, although it is a metal material, but the weight is lighter than aluminum, and the hardness and flexibility are more superior than aluminum materials. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang spent so much effort, of course, he would not be satisfied with such a list, he looked at the wheels and chassis of the car as he spoke, and then said: "In addition to reshaping the body shell, I can also use carbon steel materials to rebuild the wheels and chassis frame of the vehicle, and the transmission shaft and engine are not a problem. ”

Three hundred catties is already a very scary number, and it is simply a great blessing for racing. Linda and Packard's eyes widened when they heard this, revealing expressions of disbelief.

After a moment's pause, Linda asked excitedly, "Are you sure?"

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded very affirmatively: "I'm very sure, in fact, I use this material to make the engine in China, according to my actual comparison, the engine made of carbon steel is at least 25% lighter than other engines of the same volume." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang quietly set a trap, he deliberately took out the engine for comparison, mainly to get the engine technology in Packard's hands.

Packard's mastery of engine technology makes Niu Xiaoqiang salivate, if you rely on the Asian machinery factory to develop it yourself, I don't know how much time and energy, how much manpower and material resources are consumed, and how many detours are taken. It would be wonderful to be able to take this opportunity to get his hands on Packard's engine technology.

Of course, this will definitely cause Packard's displeasure, and the consequences are unpredictable, if Packard learns that he has stolen his engine technology, will he retaliate against me?

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but hesitate when he thought of this, although he wanted to take advantage of this big advantage, he didn't want to bring a threat to his own security. There are so many outlaws under Packard's men, and if he lets these people do it to him with a hot head, it's really hard to say what will happen to him.

Thinking of this, Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Packard, I don't know where you learned your modified car technology?"

Packard was still shocked by the superior performance of carbon steel, but when he heard this, he came back to his senses with a look of loss on his face.

Seeing this, Linda helped answer this question: "You are not an American, so you don't have any impression of the name Packard, if you are an American of my age, after hearing the name Packard, the first thing you will think of is a car brand that was once extremely brilliant in the United States - Packard Cars." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang looked at Packard with a lonely face in disbelief: "Could it be ...... Could it be that Mr. Packard is the boss of the Packard Motor Company?"

Linda shook her head first, then nodded: "That's not entirely true, it's not entirely wrong. ”

"Why?"

Linda explains: " Packard is a descendant of the founder of the Packard Automobile Company, the automobile company was founded by his grandfather, and later his grandfather passed away, the company was inherited by his father, due to several mistakes in decision-making, the Packard Automobile Company finally disappeared completely in 1958, his father suffered this heavy blow, and died of depression within a few years, at that time Packard was just twenty years old, he was originally studying in college, after learning the news of his father's death, Packard dropped out of school, he sold all the assets of the family, paid off the debts owed by the company, and kept the Packard Automobile Company label。 ”

Linda sighed when she said this: " In the eyes of people at the time, this was definitely a very stupid approach, because there are relevant regulations in the United States, if a car company wants to keep the brand, it must reach the number of 1,000 annual production and sales, Packard Automobile Company did not even have a production line at that time, it is impossible to complete this task, but Packard did not admit defeat, he found the company's former employees, and begged everyone to lend a hand to jointly care for Packard Automotive Company's last hope, some people were moved by his sincerity and agreed to his request, Packard obtained more than three million dollars in cash from them, he did not use the money to rebuild the production line, but took advantage of the law, organize people to specialize in the business of modified cars, and fill the number through modified cars, which has persisted until now. ”

"I just said that he can't really be the boss of Packard Automobile Company, because he has defaulted on more than 30 million US dollars in bank loans, and he has long been insolvent, if it were not for the valuable patented technology in his hand, I am afraid that the bank would have liquidated Packard Automobile Company a long time ago, even so, Packard's life is getting more and more difficult, and the bank's loan interest rate is too high, which makes him breathless. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang heard what he thought of here, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what patented technologies my aunt just said?"

This time Packard didn't let Linda answer, he spoke first: "It's mainly engine and transmission technology. ”

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help but think: Sure enough, I guessed it, engine technology is really among them, it seems that if you want to get engine technology, you can only use other methods.

Niu Xiaoqiang thought for a moment, and then spoke: "Mr. Packard, why do you want to borrow such a large amount of money from the bank?"

Packard gestured to a corner of the workshop, "To upgrade the equipment in the lab." ”

Niu Xiaoqiang was taken aback: "Packard Automobile Company actually has its own laboratory?"

Packard smiled a little proudly: "Linda just said that I used the three million dollars to run the modified car business, which is not entirely true, I have long had the foresight, knowing that the modified car business alone can only barely retain the brand of Packard Automobile Company, but it is difficult to rebuild the company, if you want to make Packard Automobile Company reborn, you must master the core technology, for which I invested more than two million dollars that year, and bought this repair workshop of Packard Automobile Company here in Boston." ”

"The main reason why I want to buy this place is because there happens to be a small laboratory here to test the performance of cars, and it is precisely because of the existence of this small laboratory that the price is so high, otherwise it would be enough to buy more than 100,000 US dollars just to buy the land. ”
