Bugatti Bolide is just one of the company's projects. What Xia Yu is going to talk about next is the company's future development.
"Stephen, you know, I don't want Bugatti to electrify. Faced with increasingly stringent emission regulations, we need to invest more money to solve the emission problem."
The W16 engine used by Bugatti is actually two parallel V8 engines. Double the pleasure also brings double emissions. This problem seems unsolvable, but as long as humans believe in science, they can create miracles.
"Diesel vehicles can use urea, and the current solution for gasoline vehicles is the GPF gasoline engine particulate filter. However, because the technology is not yet mature, this device is prone to clogging and is not suitable for Bugatti."
Old Wen thought for a moment and said.
Although he is not in charge of technology, he has a relatively good understanding of policies, regulations and market conditions. If GPF cannot make a breakthrough in the short term, they will have to find new solutions.
"I'm going to start with the engine. It's time to develop the next generation W16 engine."
Xia Yu has read Bugatti's production capacity plan. It is expected that only more than 100 Chirons will be produced out of the estimated production of 500 units. The production will definitely be completed before 2023, so it is necessary to launch the next generation flagship in 2022.
Volkswagen just doesn't want to bear the research and development costs of the next generation of models, so it sold Bugatti in a hurry. Now the problem becomes Xia Yu's. Fortunately, he didn't intend to make money from Bugatti, so it doesn't matter if he burns all the profits.
"Stefan is still in charge of the new models. I like the Divo and Bolide he developed."
Xia Yu made the final decision, and Lao Wen also agreed with his idea.
"In addition to the new car, I have another plan that requires Bugatti's cooperation."
After reaching a consensus, Xia Yu took out another document from his briefcase and handed it to Lao Wen.
“This, this is…”
Old Wen was shocked, his eyes shifting between the document and Xia Yu.
"Yes, Bugatti will establish a space division and cooperate with JERUI Power to provide extraterrestrial transportation for space mining."
Xia Yu talked about his plan. As a supercar brand, it should also have its own scientific research dream.
Lunar rovers and Mars rovers have great potential in future interstellar development, and from another perspective, this will be a successful commercial hype.
Tesla should have been the first to try this, but they didn't realize it.
Now Xia Yu's lunar mineral laboratory is about to be launched. It is only equipped with a relatively simple lunar rover with only sampling and photography functions. In the future, he will definitely launch a more advanced lunar rover. With the idea of keeping the benefits within the family, he handed this difficult task to Bugatti.
We don’t build trams, but our newly established space department does!
Xia Yu obviously has high hopes for Bugatti. He hopes that Bugatti can build a "car" like the landing shuttle in the future, which can ignore the terrain and be called the strongest on the earth.
"Boss, I really don't know what to say. You have a longer-term vision than I do."
Lao Wen said with emotion that he never thought that this could be done, and even if he had thought of it, only Xia Yu had such ability to integrate resources.
Not only do you have to be able to build cars, you also have to be able to sell them. To put it bluntly, how to sell them is all about telling stories.
Xia Yu thought he told the story well and he should be able to gain a lot of fans this time, even though most of these fans couldn't afford the cheapest Bugatti.
"I'll announce this news tomorrow. The media will definitely come to the factory to block us. You guys better be prepared!"
"Well, I'll tell everyone to be careful, but wouldn't it be a bit too hasty to do it tomorrow?"
Old Wen asked, and at this moment, Xia Yu's phone vibrated.
"Don't worry, this is a great opportunity. I just made it into the top 10 of China's richest list!"
Xia Yu raised his phone, and on it was the list sent by Xiao Jiang.
The "2020 Hurun Rich List" was released 10 days later than last year and has just been released.
The richest man is still Jack Ma, but there will probably be a change next year. This time, Xia Yu found his name without turning the page.
Ranking: 6
Wealth (RMB): 230 billion
Name: Xia Yu
Age: 23
Related companies: Jierui Power, Xia's Catering
Main industries: lithium batteries, catering, investment, film and television entertainment, biopharmaceuticals
It has moved up 24 places compared to last year, with an increase of 328.6%, surpassing a number of veteran predecessors.
Xia Yu can be said to have accumulated a lot of experience. The listing of Xia's Catering brought a surge in wealth, and many factories of Jierui Power were completed and put into production, and the production capacity drove up the valuation. The combination of these two factors led to the sixth place and the result of 230 billion.
Because he was mentally prepared, Xia Yu was not too surprised. Instead, the third place this year attracted people's attention.
Zhong Dandan may seem like an unfamiliar name to ordinary people, but everyone knows Farmer's Three Punches, which is the brand he founded.
He had never been on the list before, but after Farmer Three Punches went on the market, his net worth skyrocketed to 365 billion, making him famous overnight.
Wow, Xia Yu exclaimed wow, this guy is much better than him, but his advantage is that he is young, and there is still a lot of time for him to surpass him.
"230 billion?"
Old Wen also saw the number on the phone. It was the first time he knew how rich Xia Yu was.
"Not much, less than 30 billion euros."
Xia Yu waved his hand, indicating that these were all trivial matters, and it would not be too late to be proud of it when he broke into the top ten in the world.
He was just pretending, but Old Wen still thought he was very capable. It was because of his wealth that he dared to make such a plan.
