Detroit Engine Plant, commonly abbreviated as DDC.

Engine model numbers will include letters such as ddc-number.

Xing Baohua visited the site as a client.

A little joke happened during the visit, leaving Xing Baohua both amused and exasperated.

Detroit is indeed the Motor City, with the entire automotive industry chain.

Many supply chains have been divided up by the three giants, such as Ford's engine plant and chassis plant.

The Detroit Engine Plant doesn't seem to belong to any company, so let's come and take a look.

I thought their main business was gasoline engines, but it turns out their main business is diesel engines.

Gasoline engines are rare, though they exist. But those are mostly just toys made for fun by people who aren't really in the business.

Since we're here, let's take a look at gasoline engines.

They have V6, V8, and V12 engines. The V12 also comes in several versions, with the smallest displacement at 5.2 liters and the largest at 6.5 liters. They generally range from around 400 to 900 horsepower.

Don't worry about fuel consumption; the more you think about it, the more of a headache you get.

They're using the same approach as truck engines, and perhaps they originally intended to use it in gasoline-powered trucks.

Xing Baohua didn't know whether this engine was good or bad. He could only ask an expert to test the data later.

However, according to the on-site commentators, their main customers are those who make engines for American trucks.

In other words, its quality is exceptional.

After getting the documents from the engine factory, I returned to the hotel for the time being.

On the road, Xing Baohua saw a car that looked like a Jeep, but its logo was a Mercedes-Benz triangle.

But the appearance wasn't like the G-Class he knew; it looked very rugged, and he couldn't quite describe the feeling about it.

I just felt something was off, but I didn't pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, the car also stopped in the parking lot in front of the hotel where he was staying.

Only then did Xing Baohua have the opportunity to go forward and take a look.

Aside from recognizing the Mercedes-Benz logo, I've never seen this car model before.

The driver got out and saw Xing Baohua looking at the car, and seemed quite pleased with himself.

"Hey buddy, what model is this car?" Xing Baohua asked.

"It was modified by AMG," the driver said with a smile.

"May I take a look?" Xing Baohua asked.

The driver seemed a little disagreed, glancing at his time to indicate that he was in a hurry.

Xing Baohua took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket, and randomly pulled out two hundred-yuan bills.

Two hundred dollars was a lot of money at that time.

The driver didn't seem to be short of money, and shook his head slightly.

Xing Baohua drew out three more bills. Five hundred US dollars.

Okay! That's quite a lot. The driver took the car and started introducing his modified vehicle to Xing Baohua.

This car was modified by a tuning shop called AMG.

The engine was also replaced with a modified V8, 6.2L, 487 horsepower engine from their factory.

Xing Baohua asked curiously, "Can this AMG company produce engines?"

"Of course they can, they only modify the engine of the W140," the driver said, opening the hood for Xing Baohua to see the engine compartment structure.

The first thing he saw was that huge disc, which was probably a filter; Xing Baohua had seen many of these things before.

Interestingly, this car uses an electronic ignition system, is four-wheel drive, and even has a differential.

According to the introduction, this car weighs 4.3 tons.

It can reach a top speed of 200 km/h.

It has a speed of 200 km/h, like a small tank. It's probably modified from a muscle car.

Xing Baohua felt that the five hundred US dollars were well spent.

At least we know that at this time, Mercedes-Benz had not yet acquired AMG.

We need to quickly arrange for someone to find out the details about AMG.

Try to acquire it before Tigerhead.

If the acquisition fails, then buy the technology. If the technology can't be bought, there's nothing Xing Baohua can do.

It's not easy to get anything done these days.

Xing Baohua's trip to Detroit has come to an end, and he will return to Los Angeles to watch the Grammy Grand Prix live.

He didn't care whether Andy Lau and Zou Wenjuan won awards or not; the important thing was participation, raising their profile, and competing again next year.

Actually, there are quite a few Grammy Awards, so those two might actually have a chance.

But you should also be prepared to be viewed through tinted lenses.

Xing Baohua was dressed very formally in a suit and sat in the VIP seat in the front row.

Everyone sitting in this area is a prominent figure, and this guy doesn't seem to recognize any of them.

The central government and Hong Kong also sent people to give special coverage.

Everyone is eagerly anticipating the two people with yellow faces winning one of the awards, which would demonstrate that our people have the strength and ability to stand on the highest stage.

"Big Fish" is an ethereal song. Xing Baohua didn't know why she chose this type of song for the two of them. The first one was probably because it was nice to listen to, and the second one was a bit difficult.

Unfortunately, Andy Lau is not a classically trained singer, and his singing style is already fixed. Even after several months of training, it still lowered the overall quality of the song.

After their performance, the two were greeted with enthusiastic applause, and Xing Baohua also stood up to applaud them.

The yellow faces in the VIP seats were also captured by the camera.

A wealthy young lady at a hotel happened to see that face, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

All that was left was the awards ceremony, and to Xing Baohua's surprise, Zou Wenjuan won the Best Newcomer award.

Best female pop singer.

Best Pop Vocal Album.

Best Rock Singer

Xing Baohua thought that if he was just a runner-up, he might get a decent one, but who knew that four people would come.

Andy Lau won the Best Male Pop Singer award.

This one award brought him to tears.
