Super Craftsman Chapter 454

Chapter 454 - Rejection (1)

A few handmade cars, Guo Tai Lai thought for a while and nodded.

Indeed, just as Lin Jiayi had said, Guo Tailai's current style was more similar to the styles of these small factories than the Mercedes-Benz style produced by the industrial plants.

It would be good to contact them, but at least it would give the Mercedes-Benz some pressure, letting them know that they had more than one choice.

Lin Jiayi immediately contacted them happily. Among her classmates at Wharton, she could still find a way to communicate with these companies.

During the negotiations, in a place Guo Tai Lai at the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz didn't know about, a team of old craftsmen was analyzing the video of Guo Tai Lai installing the engine over and over again. They were also analyzing the parameters recorded by Guo Tai Lai during the process of installing the engine.

Without needing to change the design, just relying on its powerful assembly ability was enough to increase the engine's overall capabilities by a few percentage points. How could the Mercedes-Benz side miss out on this ability? Although Guo had no solution for manufacturing accuracy, it was still possible to learn his assembling skills.

Dozens of experienced and knowledgeable engineers are working on it, analyzing it, trying to learn Guo's assembling ability.

Unfortunately, the camera angle was limited. Some angles were blocked by Guo Tailai's body, so he couldn't see how Guo Tailai did it. According to the description given by the two engineers in charge of recording the process, Guo didn't seem to have done anything special.

What they couldn't understand was that Guo Tailai clearly didn't use any measuring tool s, but he could install them perfectly in place, even more so than what they installed after measuring with a precise instrument.

Afterwards, they analyzed that part of the titanium alloy engine s installed by the Mercedes-Benz team. It could be that they did not adjust it perfectly on the same axis, or it could be that the moment of one of the screws was a little bit larger, or it could be that it was a little bit smaller. As a result, there was a slight malfunction in the overall operation of the engine, resulting in the overall engine's overall performance.

It was even possible that it was due to the design length of one of the screws, which was slightly different from the one that was used by Guo Tailai when it was fastened according to the designer. This would affect the engine's overall performance and center of gravity even if the screw was very slightly different from the one that was used by Guo Tailai. But was it really to such an extent? Isn't this too precise?

Everything is just a possibility, only a possible reason for my analysis. However, I am unable to confirm whether it is actually true or not because I can't put it back after dismantling it. How awkward. The result of the analysis was that the old craftsmen could not replicate Guo Tailai's technique at all.

If the maximum score was 100, ordinary installation workers could only get 60 points, those who were skilled could get 70 points, those with experience could get 80 to 85 points, and this group of old workers' installation skill could get 95 points with the aid of all kinds of precise equipment. But Guo Tailai could get 99 points.

The Mercedes-Benz side also used a "drag" sign, to see if their engineers could replicate Guo Tailai's installation ability. It was a pity that after a whole week, he had only managed to obtain a few possible answers and a clear gap. He wasn't completely sure of the reason. Since there was no substitute for Guo Tailai, he could only relax the restrictions on him.

In the eyes of Mercedes-Benz itself, such behaviour is indisputable. If it were any other capitalist, they would probably do the same thing, let alone a foreign one, even a domestic one. After all, there was no way for a craftsman to apply for a patent. It couldn't be said that one could achieve this level of accuracy, so they couldn't allow others to achieve this level of precision. It was for the best that there could be a replacement, preferably an old trusted employee within the company. If not, then he could only raise the price to try to work with Guo Tailai.

"Sorry, the negotiations need to be suspended for a few days. We need to go to the UK immediately. "So …" When the people on the Mercedes-Benz realized that there was no other choice but Guo Tai Lai and wanted to negotiate with Lin Jiayi, Lin Jiayi gave them such an answer.

To England? The person in charge of negotiation at Mercedes-Benz was a bit confused. What was he trying to do? To McLaren?

Guo Tai Lai wasn't a Mercedes-Benz employee, and the Mercedes couldn't stop Guo Tai from leaving either. They could only watch as Guo Tai left Stuttgart.

The Mercedes-Benz guess was right, Guo Tai Lai's group was indeed rushing to McLaren, but not only to see the performance of the new engine on F1, more importantly, to meet with the representatives of the three car factory s, Rolls-Royce, Koenicek and Pagni, at the same time, to let them see the performance of the handmade perovskite engine.

She had not wasted her years of studying at Wharton Business School, so she might not have been able to bring out her strong student connections in the country. However, in Europe, she had only used one night to contact the people of the three car factory s, and had clearly expressed Guo Tailai's superiority. There was nothing to be said, so the technical managers of the three families were specially invited to McLaren's side to observe the real perovskite engine.

Of course, before that, Lin Jiayi had asked for McLaren's opinion. In theory, the perovskite engine must have been kept a secret before the competition as their secret weapon this season. However, once they signed up and used it, it had to be made public. In fact, it was no longer a secret, so if any of these non-F1 competitors wanted to see it, they could just come and see it.

The concept of the perovskite engine was already coveted by others, and it was even handmade. Instantly, the three manufacturers contacted by Lin Jiayi were piqued, especially when they heard that it was Guo Tai Lai who sold the new model last time, they did not doubt him and rushed to the McLaren's team to look for him.

By the time Guo Tai arrived, Rolls-Royce, who was also in the UK, was already close to home. Not only had he arrived at McLaren's side ahead of time, he had even seen the finished product.

The two brands of Koenicek and Pagni, one was Swedish and the other was Italian, both were supercar brands. They both had a common characteristic, which was that the business was not big, and the employees were both of high quality. This time, after hearing the news about the handmade titanium alloy engine, both sides were extremely interested and quickly rushed to England.

What was even more interesting was that the engine that Pagni was currently using was an AMG. It could be said that it was also a Mercedes-Benz engine. The information that they had obtained was much more detailed.
