The news that the Dongxing 1 team was established at Lamborghini Company has also attracted the attention of Italian media. In addition to interviews, Lin Johnson was also invited to attend several cocktail parties held by political and business people in Modena and Bologna.

He met some local upper-level figures and established some contacts. At a cocktail party, he also met the person in charge of Kajiva in Ducati.

It is also a famous Italian motorcycle company, which acquired all shares of the poorly managed Ducati in 1985.

So, Johnson Lin expressed his intention to acquire Ducati to the person in charge, but he flatly refused. However, he still invited Johnson Lin to visit Ducati.

"After Ducati was acquired, he began to develop in racing. Although it has improved financially, it has not invested much money in it. Instead, it has been using Ducati to provide it with engine technology. Ducati is more famous than Kajiva in markets outside Italy, so it can retain this brand.

In recent years, it has been expanding to multiple fields, dispersing its energy and financial resources. They should be very eager to cooperate with you." Veranika introduced.

The two arrived at the Ducati factory, the headquarters of this famous motorcycle brand is in the northwest of Bologna, which is also the famous "Motorcycle Valley" in Italy, surrounded by Ferrari, Maserati and Lamborghini.

The general manager of the Ducati branch, Cardo and the director of the factory, Liviolodi, Cardo was very enthusiastic. He first led them to visit the Ducati Museum, and then sincerely invited Lin Johnson to enter the production workshop.

Lin Johnson discovered that Ducati does have some traditions of traditional European old motorcycle brands. It is not like some new factories in China, and it has a very historical charm.

However, Lin Johnson soon discovered that many workstations had been shut down, and the workers in the workshop were sparse and did not look like a large motorcycle brand at all, which was somewhat inconsistent with what he imagined.

He asked Cardo in confusion: "Why are many of the production lines here idle?"

Cardo was embarrassed and said, "Japan motorcycle technology has made rapid progress over the years and has sold very well in Europe. Ducati's overall technology has lagged behind, so we stopped production of a project here.

The parts were actually outsourcing out of the work, which not only reduced contracting but also improved technology. Parts such as steel frames and car bodies were manufactured by other factories and then shipped here for assembly."

After translating to Lin Johnson in English, Veranica said: "The reliability of Ducati motorcycles is very low, the product is defective, and the quality is not strictly controlled. These are all things that the outside world has always criticized."

Only then did Lin Johnson realize that Ducati's current situation was not good.

He asked the factory director Livio, "How is Ducati's production now? Are you using order production?"

Livio looked at Caldo, then nodded to Johnson Lin and said, "The production and sales situation is OK. We can produce up to 15 motorcycles a day. It is indeed an order-based production, which basically ensures the balance of production and sales."

Lin Qiangsheng liked motorcycles very much in his previous life, especially the Ducati brand. It turned out that this factory only produced 400 motorcycles that could get on and off every month.

He asked, "I like Ducati motorcycles very much. If I order one, will it be delivered next month?"

Levio shook his head and said, "It's impossible. At least it's half a year before you can receive the car. Maybe we can get two months in advance for you."

Lin Johnson was even more surprised. Japanese motorcycles are now flooding the European market, but he did not expect that these old Italian brands would live quite leisurely.

In fact, Lin Johnson had a mistake in his understanding. He felt that Italian motorcycles should be mass-produced like Japanese motorcycles, with factories spreading across all regions.

But in fact, the production scale of old European motorcycle factories such as Italy is very high. Most of their suppliers are hand-made, so it is not uncommon to have hundreds of cars a month and it is very leisurely.

He looked at the motorcycles on the assembly line, which was producing a large-encircled car. The large-encircled motorcycles in the 1980s were very popular, while models like the Ducati's 1990s NSS have not yet appeared.

"Hey?" Lin Johnson's eyes lit up. Since a rough steel frame motorcycle like NSSR has not appeared, wouldn't he have a chance!

At this time, Cardo said to Johnson Lin: "Mr. Lin, you have plans to establish a motorcycle factory in China. You can contact us directly. Our headquarters is in Varese and belongs to the Milan area. Ducati is now just a subsidiary of us."

Lin Qiangsheng felt in his heart that he had never even heard of it in his previous life, so he must have been a disappearing brand again. Ducati has lived for decades, but it is very brilliant. Ducati motorcycles are very expensive in China and can be regarded as luxury goods.

He nodded and said, "I want to introduce a full set of technology for a street car, but it seems that there is really no model that I can like now. Is there any model that Kajiva can recommend?"

Cardo quickly said, "Please follow me. There are several Kagiva models in the company. You can take a look. I can help you contact Chairman Breto, who will communicate with you in person!"

So Johnson Lin nodded. Under the leadership of Carterdo, he saw the rr model equipped with Ducati's twin-cylinder 90-degree right-angle N-engine. This is Kajiva's Blue Wing Series, which focuses on a medium-sized motorcycle with a displacement of 06 and 647. This level is considered heavy in China.

The remaining other large-scale racing cars are either too old or too ugly. Old street racing cars like 1 are simply too terrible.

He suspected that if Japanese motorcycles had not entered the European market, Europeans would probably have been retro and funny!

Lin Johnson is very optimistic about the Blue Wing series. He personally spoke with Kajiva's chairman Breto, intending to introduce this series to be produced domestically. Blue Wing is a technology in the mid-1980s, while Honda and Yamaha introduced domestically are both technologies in the mid-1970s, such as the 70s that Jialing put into production in 1984.

Breto is very interested in Lin Johnson's cooperation project. Now Kajiva is expanding from all directions and needs financial support. They are unable to intervene in the Chinese market. Authorizing the car model to China will not affect the European and American markets.

Furthermore, Lamborghini led by Lin Johnson, performed well at the Frankfurt Motor Show and the design of the new B-Ghost Supercar, which made him famous in the Italian car industry.

If Kajiva can complete this technical authorization with Johnson Lin, he will not only obtain funds but also gain fame and fortune. Therefore, Breto came to Modena very actively and personally negotiated with Johnson Lin's technology transfer plan.

Lin Johnson here not only contacted Ducati and Kagiva, but also contacted Benali Motorcycle Company, Agusta Motorcycle Company and Biagio Motorcycle Company.

Now that the European motorcycle market has been conquered by the Japanese, these Italian brands are suppressed in great difficulty. Small factories like Benelli are short of funds and are in business difficulties like many European motorcycle companies.

However, Lin Qiangsheng is not a philanthropist. Now Japanese motorcycles are the king of the market, and he doesn't want to touch the stone with eggs. China's motorcycle market has not yet developed and is in its infancy. Now is a great time for development. To be continued.
