Chapter 80 The Noble in the Car
"We have been in contact with Rolls-Royce before. Although the economy is in recession, Royce does not want to sell their company." In the car, Erich said to Cyric.
Now the company is losing a lot of money, but the current British economy is constantly improving, so it is understandable that they do not want to sell the company.
"Yeah, these British people are very stubborn. They won't give in without any other means." Cyric said: "To deal with Rolls-Royce, we must start from many aspects. Let me meet them for the first time."
At the headquarters of Rolls-Royce, Cyric and his party met the head of Rolls-Royce, now the most famous engineer and car designer in Britain, Frederick Henry Royce, who is now grizzled.
"Nice to meet you." Royce stretched out his hand and shook hands with Cyric and his party.
Although he knew that the other party came here to annex himself, Royce remained graceful and calm, and his every move showed a noble temperament.
This is also because of the identity of the other party. Royce does not value Cyric very much, but behind Cyric are Royce's colleagues, famous engineers from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. In the field of automobile manufacturing, they are all It is sympathetic.
"Mr. Royce, the purpose of our coming here is for our cooperation." Cyric said to Royce: "We have established Volkswagen in our country, and we want to produce a national car, but now , we lack plant and equipment, so we want to seek to buy Rolls-Royce to produce our main models."
Merging the other party always needs a reason, and Cyric's reason is Volkswagen!
Now, Germany's economy has got rid of its burdens and is undergoing earth-shaking changes. German people will have their own cars! In order to produce this kind of car, Germany even established a state-run Volkswagen company, and Cyric bought it on behalf of Volkswagen!
Complete commercial behavior, no other use at all!
"We are now extremely lacking in equipment. At the same time, Rolls-Royce workers are the most skilled." Cyric said: "As long as you agree to be acquired, we can accept any price."
"We, Rolls-Royce, will not sell our company," Royce said. "After Charles and I created this company, we hope to carry it forward."
Royce looked at Cyric quietly and said, "Now, our Rolls-Royce sedan is a symbol of dignity, and it is only for the nobles. If we let Rolls-Royce produce civilian cars, I would I would even consider it an insult to us.”
Old Royce is quite a stubborn person. As an engineer, he always adheres to principles, or is called stubbornness, and the concept of Rolls-Royce is to make the most noble car!
From this point of view, the old Royce is successful.
Rolls-Royce is the only symbol of grace and nobility in the automotive kingdom. No matter how old and expensive her style is, there is still no challenger.
At the beginning of its establishment, Rolls-Royce was committed to creating "the best car in the world" and being "a nobleman in the car".
It embodies the belief, standards and persistence of generations of Rolls-Royce people in pursuit of perfection. Rolls-Royce is not just a car, but also a symbol of status. For example, now, Rolls-Royce is the special vehicle of the British royal family, and it is also exclusive to each aristocrat.
Want a noble car factory to make Volkswagen cars for civilians? What a joke! For that alone, Royce disliked it quite a bit.
Royce looked at the person in charge of BMW and Mercedes-Benz on the opposite side. The other side also produced high-end cars, but the cars produced by the other side were still not as high-end as Rolls-Royce!
Royce's words were told to them.
"It's not good, it's not good." At this moment, a secretary hurriedly ran into the reception room.
Royce turned his head and looked at his new secretary, quite dissatisfied. Don't be so impolite in front of guests! As an Englishman, etiquette must be observed!
"President, Sir Henry's son, driving our car half an hour ago, hit a stone on the side of the road, the car exploded and caught fire, burning Sir Henry's son to death!"
Sir Henry! The representative of the British aristocracy has a very close relationship with the royal family! His son had an accident!
"Go, take a look." Royce stood up and said, he turned to Cyric and others, and said, "I'm sorry, I'll deal with it, we'll talk later."
This was to drive people out politely. Cyric stood up and said to Royce, "Okay, then we'll come back in a few days."
Come back in a few days? Royce didn't catch the meaning of Cyric's words, he was very anxious.
London streets.
The fire brigade had arrived in time, the water tank on the carriage was empty, and next to the road, a car had been burned to the point where only the skeleton remained.
Rolls-Royce Phantom! A luxury car built by Rolls-Royce!
This is a model that Rolls-Royce has worked hard to build, and it is now a Phantom 2, with a soft roof added or removed, and an improved engine. In particular, the engine, clutch and transmission are designed as one piece and are separated from the chassis and are no longer fixed to it as before.
At the same time, there are countless luxurious handcrafted designs on this car, showing the kingship of Rolls-Royce.
Rolls-Royce, for example, added powdered herring scales to the paint to give the paint a pearly glow. As another example, the interior materials use the finest French leather and small fig wood that matches the blue of the body, which can show sky blue.
This kind of car is expensive, and only nobles can buy and use it! In later generations, only 1767 units were produced until production was discontinued!
Only people with enough status and status can drive it! And now, it has been burnt, burned to an empty shell!
When Royce arrived, he saw a sad face of Sir Henry Schorff, this son, his only son!
"Royce, what's the matter with the car you produce?" When he saw Royce, Sir Henry immediately cast his anger on Royce. If it weren't for this car, his son, won't die!
"Sir, we'll find out," Royce said. "Please give us time."
