Chapter 40: The Factory Director (5)
This kid, talking nonsense. Liu Kun shook his head, full of disbelief. He didn't know that among the world's top 10 engines in 2009, five were manufactured with Lin Hongfei's participation, and he was also a technical consultant for Japan's "Four Great Kings" motorcycles. As for overall vehicle design, he wouldn't dare say, but when it comes to engine alone, in this era, Lin Hongfei claimed second place, and no one dared claim first.
Although he thought Lin Hongfei was bragging and didn't think Lin Hongfei was really more powerful than the Japanese, he couldn't help but admire Lin Hongfei's skills in front of him. He had personally manufactured an engine, which wasn't something anyone could do. Laughing, "Alright, I'm looking forward to it..."
After finishing speaking, Liu Kun looked at Lin Hongfei's car again and said, "How about it? Shall we swap cars and take a drive?"
"Great, I haven't driven for a while either, just in time to get some exercise." Lin Hongfei did not refuse and readily agreed, with an excited look on his face.
To be honest, since "coming back", he hasn't touched the steering wheel, Lin Hongfei is a bit itchy, 212 Jeep isn't easy to drive, but at least it's four wheels, right?
Liu Kun was greatly surprised, and in his impression, it seemed that Lin Hongfei didn't know how to drive. After careful consideration, he had no impression of it, but Liu Kun didn't think much of it either. In the eyes of ordinary people in this era, knowing how to drive was still a relatively technical task, but for Lin Hongfei and Liu Kun, these "high-ranking officials' children", it wasn't that mysterious after all. For example, Liu Kun himself could drive a 212 Jeep on the road at the age of 16, and what made him regretful was that he couldn't get a Santana to try out... The Audi 100, which had just been introduced domestically as a provincial and municipal leader's vehicle, wasn't even something Liu Kun dared to think about.
"Alright, here's the key," Liu Kun generously tossed the keys of the 212 Jeep to Lin Hongfei and excitedly said, "I'll try out the car first."
"The car's momentum is quite large, and it will be fine with just a slight touch of the accelerator." Lin Hongfei reminded kindly. The car's power is sufficient, but in terms of horsepower, it only surpasses the 750 by 2 horses, yet its weight is a whole 200 kilograms lighter than the 750. The feeling it gives people is that this car's momentum is too fierce, making it somewhat difficult to control.
"Don't worry!"
Liu Kun is very confident, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Japan's four major motorcycle brands, brothers rode three, what car haven't brothers ridden? A car you made yourself, how can it be more powerful than a Japanese car?
Fine, just wait until you suffer a loss and you'll know how great this guy's momentum is. Lin Hongfei had some despicable thoughts in mind as he waited to see Liu Kun's good show... For people of this era, it was hard to imagine that an engine with only 250cc displacement could produce 22 horsepower. At that time, the maximum power of a 4.7L V8 engine was only 156 horsepower. If Lin Hongfei's designed engine were converted to that 4.7L engine, its maximum power would have reached an astonishing 418 horsepower. This is simply impossible!
Ke Liu Kun's words were not yet finished, his face changed color.
Just as he floored it in his usual aggressive driving style, the car shot forward like an enraged beast, like an arrow off the string, and a strong jolt of acceleration hit him, as if trying to throw him out of the car.
What a powerful force?! Liu Kun was suddenly frightened! He didn't expect the car to have such great strength.
Lin Hongfei sneered from behind: Ah, you think it's that easy to snatch our car?
…………………
A moment later, Liu Kun came back with an excited face. The car screeched to a halt in front of Lin Hongfei, Liu Kun's hair was blown into some disarray by the wind, but at this moment, his face still showed more excitement, laughing and patting Lin Hongfei on the shoulder, "Brother, your car is too awesome, haha... it's so cool! Too cool!"
Lin Hongfei smiled but did not speak, with a 22-horsepower engine driving a body of only 175 kilograms, how can this be described as excessive? Now is still the era of motorcycles with displacements of 50, 60, 70, and 80.
"Alright, that's settled. I'll borrow this car for a few days, you can use my 212 first." Liu said excitedly, stepped on the gas and sped away... Apparently he went out to show off.
What's going on here? Look at the keys in my hand, and then look at Liu Kun who has already run away without a shadow. Lin Hongfei couldn't help but smile bitterly: Brother, I really haven't driven that car for many days.
……………
Lin Hongfei made a motorcycle himself, but it was snatched away by Liu Kun's son in just a few minutes. This became a joke in the military district compound, with everyone bursting into laughter whenever they mentioned it. Lin, the deputy chief of staff's child, was indeed very unlucky - he couldn't even use something he made himself? It's said that Liu Shangshu's son has been showing off these days, asking around about which factory produced the motorcycle and even planning to buy it from Liu Dagu at a high price. However, after finding out it was made by Lin, the deputy chief of staff's son, they had to reluctantly give up on this idea.
Although Deputy Commander Lin cannot be considered a major leader in Beiguan City, he is not someone who can be ordered around by just anyone. Let the young master of Deputy Commander Lin make another car for himself? Everyone has a sense of self-awareness and knows that if they really open their mouths, they will have truly offended Deputy Commander Lin to death: "You bastard, how dare you order the young master of Deputy Commander Lin to 'work' for you?"
Especially in the past few days, a relatively reliable rumor has been circulating within the military division's compound that Deputy Chief of Staff Lin is going to be promoted and may even be transferred to the provincial military division. At that time, Deputy Chief of Staff Lin will become a leader at the provincial level, and city leaders who meet him will have to show respect. If they were to arrest his beloved son as a "laborer" now, wouldn't that provoke Deputy Chief of Staff Lin's displeasure?
This business is really hard to do.
