"Yes, Mr. Stephen, can I produce a Bugatti Bolide now?"
Xia Yu asked this question again.
Buying an entire car company for the sake of a car, this kind of behavior of a wealthy person is probably hard to replicate.
"Of course, you're the boss, you can have any prototype car you want."
After confirming the ownership of the Bugatti, Winkelmann changed his previous attitude. After all, the car was Xia Yu's property.
"The prototype is cool, but I want a Bolide all my own. My friend Albert and I are going to put the Bolide into production. How about 10 units?"
Xia Yu took on the role of boss in advance, guiding the company's future development and discussing with Lao Wen.
"No problem, but you have to come over for the specific pricing. We can decide after the meeting."
Winkelmann is a qualified CEO of a supercar brand, whether he was previously in charge of Lamborghini or currently working for Bugatti. The pricing of each limited edition model originally had to be reported to and negotiated with the headquarters, and now the headquarters has become Xia Yu's personal responsibility, and the same is true.
"Well, after I finish here, I will go to the country of hair. See you then!"
After Xia Yu finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Many things had to be discussed face to face and could not be explained over the phone, especially the future development of Bugatti.
The Bugatti Bolide is a small matter, but the future development of Bugatti is a big matter.
In addition to paying 1 billion euros to acquire Bugatti, Xia Yu will continue to invest in the company to develop the next generation of models.
Bugatti has been releasing limited edition models in the past two years, and has been nicknamed "Bugatti" by many keyboard racing enthusiasts. However, more than half of the 500 units of the mass-produced flagship Chiron have been sold, and the development of the next generation model has become imperative.
Due to uncertainty about the company's future, the design team launched the almost swansong Bolide. Now that it is confirmed that the new owner has no plans for electrification, the W16 engine can still last for a few more generations.
This requires capital, a lot of capital. According to Winkelmann's understanding, Xia Yu is not short of money. His wealth is constantly doubling every year, unlike the previous Rimac, whose founder was so poor that he had to exchange shares for Bugatti.
If Matt succeeds, maybe the electric version of Bugatti in the future will be a Rimac with a "pig nose". In that case, Bugatti will lose its soul and might as well disappear in the long river of history.
At least, that's what Winkelmann thought, but he was just a CEO hired by Volkswagen and had no choice but to resign.
Things are different now. After accepting Xia Yu's employment, Volkswagen is just a thing of the past for him, and his future is closely linked to the future of Bugatti.
I can have a good sleep today, and I'll treat everyone to a drink. A bright tomorrow awaits everyone.
