Great Power Reclamation

The Warrior Engine Factory has developed engines for others many times, but the only problem is that the manufacturers need to provide R&D funds and buy out the patents.

But the representatives of Bentley were somewhat arrogant. They believed that as the world's top automobiles, being able to use Warrior engines was a gift to them and there was naturally no need to buy out any patents.

Originally, it was Mei Ting's sales company that negotiated with them, but the negotiations broke down after a few times because each party's positions meant that no agreement could be reached.

Speaking of the brand "Bentley", most people actually know that it is one of the world's top luxury car brands, on par with Rolls-Royce.

From the moment it was born, this car was just like the traditional British, arrogant and conceited, and was not made for ordinary people at all.

This requires us to introduce the development history of Bentley.

In the early 20th century, when automobiles were in their infancy, Walter Owen Bentley drew inspiration from the racing circuit and came up with the idea of ​​building a performance-focused, lighter car.

In an era when people's understanding of cars was limited to means of transportation, his idea seemed avant-garde and alternative, and it also destined that Bentley was not a product for the "masses" from the beginning.

In 1912, the Bentley family raised funds to introduce the French DFP sports car and established Bentley & Bentley at 3 Hanover Square in London.

WO made improvements to the imported DFP by replacing the engine with aluminum pistons, which improved the performance of the car.

During World War I, WO was employed by the Royal Navy Air Force Technical Committee to work on the improvement of the French Clerget engine.

The aluminum alloy piston he designed was soon widely adopted by aircraft engines. Not only were his improved aircraft engines known as BR1 and BR2, he also accumulated a wealth of manufacturing experience and mastered sufficient engineering technology.

So after the war, he was full of confidence and started designing and manufacturing his own car at lightning speed.

In early 1919, the design of the new car was completed. At this time, the company also raised funds and established the later famous Bentley Motors Ltd.

At that time, the company's nominal share capital was 20 pounds, but in fact there was only more than 1 pounds in cash in the bank. Therefore, the company was short of funds at the beginning, which laid the hidden danger for Bentley's financial difficulties in the future.

From its establishment in 1912 to its invincibility on the Le Mans track in 1924, to its merger with Rolls-Royce due to bankruptcy in the early 30s, and until its acquisition by Volkswagen in 1998, Bentley has gone through many hardships, but every Bentley car has a legendary experience.

In 1921, Bentley produced a 85-liter model with a power of 128 horsepower and a top speed of up to 3 kilometers, which was the fastest mass-produced car at the time.

This model was considered to be a highly innovative product in the automotive industry at the time and pioneered the concept of performance cars.

这款3升车打破了当时几乎所有的耐力和速度记录，后来，其衍生车型还为宾利历史性地一举夺下1924年、1927年、1928年、1929年和1930年5年勒芒24小时耐力赛冠军。

Bentley has since become famous all over the world. In 1998, Bentley was acquired by Volkswagen, and some people were worried that Bentley's image would be changed.

But the elegant Red Label launched later completely eliminated people's concerns. The Germans did not change Bentley, and Bentley's British royal bloodline remained pure.

Seeing this, everyone will understand that, yes, Bentley, as a top British brand, actually no longer belongs to Britain, but was acquired by Volkswagen.

However, for the sake of sales and brand awareness, the Germans did not change its style, but developed it as a separate brand.

This is how Bentley maintains and creates its current brand status.

Otherwise, it would have become a branch of Volkswagen and produced Volkswagen cars long ago. How could there be a Bentley?

  Speaking of which, Britain is also miserable. Rolls-Royce and Bentley are products that the British are proud of, but now they no longer belong to Britain. This is also a kind of sadness!

However, this did not affect the arrogance of the Bentley representative, so the negotiations came to a deadlock. The representative who came to negotiate this time was Bentley's CEO Owen, a direct descendant of Bentley's founder, Mr. Bentley.

As a descendant of a family with such a great reputation in the history of the world's automobiles, he naturally has his own pride.

Owen is 32 years old this year and has his own unique insights and keen perspectives on cars, which is why he can become the CEO of Bentley at this age.

Speaking of which, as an old empire, they have an unparalleled sense of pride in their hearts.

Even the United States, according to their evaluation, is just a country without history. It just happened to become a developed country and has no foundation at all.

Owen is a typical British man, so this kind of thinking is very serious. Although he looks polite, his arrogance in his bones makes it difficult for people to like him.

Mei Ting is a person who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. After a few contacts, she stopped meeting with him. In fact, she just didn't want to scold him.

This made Owen very angry, yet helpless. He felt that he was giving face to the Warriors Group by coming to this small town for negotiations, but a sales company CEO actually dared to be so unreasonable to him!

  But what could a British man like him do in the military reclamation city?

He tried to contact the officials of Junken City and use his identity to attract their attention, but they ignored him.

Although his identity is well-known in the UK, he seems to have little weight among the customer base of Junken City.

Even Mei Ting doesn't care, let alone the city. If you are awesome, why don't you come to buy engines? No one invited you to come.

The reason why Owen came to Sofia Restaurant was that he often heard people talking about it in the hotel, so he came to try it.

There were five of them in their group and they had originally wanted to book a private room, but it was sold out, so they had no choice but to sit in the lobby.

But as soon as he came in, he frowned because the smell made him very uncomfortable.

You have to know that most white people's meals are actually very light, and even dishes like grilled steak do not have a strong flavor when they are served.

But what's the deal with the strong smell of roast lamb in a western restaurant?

He also found that it seemed that every table had roasted lamb, and every table, whether Chinese or foreigners, ordered it.

After sitting down, he asked the waiter unhappily:

"Isn't this a Western restaurant? What have you done?"

The waiter's English was limited, so he didn't understand what he was saying. So he waved Sophia over.

Now Sally has gone to the new store, Sophia is responsible for the operation of the old store, and Tom runs between the two. Liu Qinghua has become a buyer, responsible for the purchase of all raw materials.

Sophia smiled brightly: "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Although she was born and raised in Africa, it did not prevent Sophia from speaking fluent English. (End of this chapter)
