Chapter 487
Sitting together, eating and drinking is indeed the fastest way to get closer to each other. The meal was less than half finished. With his proficient Japanese, Zhang Qihang was able to joke with Yamada Jiro. It was also at this time that Zhang Qihang took the lead He asked: "Mr. Yamada, I believe that Mr. Yoneyama has already told you that I am more interested in your Mitsubishi Corporation's new-generation DELICA, right?"

"Yes, Yoneyama-kun has already told me, and this is what I am curious about," Yamada Jiro glanced at Yoneyama Takaichi, nodded and said: "Zhang Jun, what method am I going to use to communicate with our Mitsubishi Motors Corporation?" What about cooperation?"

Zhang Qihang did not fulfill Jiro Yoneyama's wish, but said: "If possible, I hope Mr. Yamada can help me briefly introduce the new generation of DELICA you designed."

"Of course no problem," Yamada Jiro nodded happily, and introduced to Zhang Qihang: "Our new generation of DELICA is code-named L400, which means the fourth generation of DELICA, and it uses the same 2.0 and 2.4 gasoline engines as the previous generation of DELICA. , Of course, there are also 3.0-powered engines to choose from.

Different from the previous three generations of DELICA, our generation of DELICA adopts a design concept similar to that of the Miracle minivan, with an independent engine compartment, but compared with the American minivan with a long and prominent engine compartment, our generation DELICA adopts a short front overhang design, and the front of the car is shorter. In the case that the overall body length is equivalent to that of mid-level cars such as Accord and Camry, our generation of DELICA provides a wheelbase as long as 2800mm, which is the longest for any such car. Can't reach similar products... I describe it like this, can you understand? "

Zhang Qihang nodded: "No problem, I can understand."

Yamada Jiro was a little surprised: "You really understand?"

Zhang Qihang nodded and said: "Although I haven't seen your new generation of DELICA, but since this generation of DELICA is developed based on the previous generation of DELICA, then I think it should not be difficult to understand." Draw a sketch of a side view from the side with a pen and paper: "If I understand correctly, your generation of DELICA should roughly look like this?"

How could I not know what Jianghuai Ruifeng and Fengxing Lingzhi looked like?

Looking at this sketched side view, Jiro Yamada first looked at Zhang Qihang in surprise, and then looked at this sketched picture, he couldn't agree more: "This is really... Mr. Zhang, if this is not our first meeting , I wonder if you have been to our club and visited our DELICA project."

Strength is the best pass. At this moment, Yamada Jiro's tone also brought respect, instead of just looking at Ryuichi Yoneyama's face like before.

His senior looked at Zhang Qihang's appearance with admiration, which made Mishan Takashi wholeheartedly and proudly, and he immediately introduced to Yamada Jiro proudly: "Yamada-kun, maybe it was when I introduced Zhang Jun to you. For some omissions, Zhang Jun still thinks that he is an excellent engine designer, and the motorcycle engine he designed has achieved annual sales of over 100 million units in the Chinese market since last year."

Hearing the words, Yamada Jiro was even more shocked. He looked at Ryuichi Yoneyama and then at Zhang Qihang, and said in disbelief: "Mr. Zhang, is this really the case?"

Zhang Qihang is very humble: "Thanks to everyone for your help."

Hearing the words, Yamada Jiro looked at Zhang Qihang again with a different look: Although Zhang Qihang said this very modestly, it was also a tactful admission.

"This is really...remarkable," Jiro Yamada, who silently raised his evaluation of Zhang Qihang by several levels in his heart, shook his head and said with emotion: "Since Mr. Zhang is knowledgeable, it's easy to say... yes , the overall structure of our DELICA is similar to the sketch you drew.

In addition, in addition to the standard wheelbase version, we also launched a long-axis version of DELICA. The long-axis version of DELICA has a wheelbase of 3000mm and a body length of 5.1 meters or more. This version of DELICA can accommodate The lower 9 to 11 seats;
In addition, we also designed a four-wheel drive version of DELICA, which is equipped with the same super-selective four-wheel drive system as our Mitsubishi Pajero. It is the world's first minivan with relatively strong off-road capabilities. "

Speaking of this, Yamada Jiro looked at Zhang Qihang and said sincerely: "Mr. Zhang, I can't give you any answer on behalf of the club, but I can promise that if your company really intends to introduce Our new generation of DELICA, I will try my best to help you convince my superiors and help you promote this matter."

"Thank you so much."

Zhang Qihang also breathed a sigh of relief, with Yamada Jiro's words, the next thing will be easier to handle.

"You're welcome, you are Mi Shanjun's friend, you should help."

Yamada Jiro answered very politely, but Zhang Qihang knew very well, if it wasn't because there were huge benefits to be gained from it, how could this guy answer so happily?
"Thank you very much, you are such a warm and kind man."

"Hehe...hehe..." After Zhang Qihang issued a good person card, Yamada Jiro was very happy: "Mr. Zhang, you are too polite."

"This is not being polite, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart. If you didn't really treat me as a friend, how could you help me so much?" Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang changed his tone and asked sincerely: "Samada Sir, may I ask again, will the retail guide price of the new generation of DELICA increase?"

"Uh... this," although he was a bit surprised why Zhang Qihang would ask this question, but thinking that such a thing could not be kept secret after all, Yamada Jiro hesitated for a while, and said: "There will be about [-] million, [-], [-] A slight rise in the yen, but not by much."

Zhang Qihang's eyes flashed!
He already knows the ex-factory price of the fourth-generation DELICA.

After more than 20 years, under normal circumstances, the ex-factory price of a car is about 70% to 80% of the suggested retail price. Of course, the "90% off Kai, 65% off Leopard" cars are exceptions, but now it is the early 75s, Worldwide, automobile manufacturing is also a lucrative industry. During this period, the starting price of sedan products in a mature automobile market is about 25% to [-]% of the retail price, depending on the grade. ——After [-] years, the internal car purchase price for internal employees of car companies is about [-]% of the retail price. It can be judged that this price is the cost price.

Of course, compared with sedans, the profits of light passengers such as Sea Lion and Delica are relatively thinner, but their ex-factory price is about 75% of the retail price. The market price of the third-generation Delica sold in Japan is now equivalent to The meter price is between US$9500 and US$12000, which means that the ex-factory price of this car is between US$7100 and US$9000.

Although the price of the new generation of DELICA will rise a little bit, it is only a matter of one or two hundred, two or three hundred dollars. For the next negotiation, Zhang Qihang has a bottom line in his mind.
