i have an electronics factory

Chapter 144 Publicity Road Test
"Polestar Motors will definitely allocate capacity for taxis and buses first. There are currently about 28000 taxis in Haicheng City, 276 bus operating lines, and 5000 operating vehicles..."

"That is to say, we have to wait for Polestar Motors to produce [-] cars before we can produce ours? Does Polestar Motors have such a high production capacity? Look at the Xinghan mini, the orders are already scheduled for the next year! "

"I still prefer the Xinghan 001 in the Haishi Phantom game... The exposed configuration of that car is really exciting, and the exterior design is also so handsome that it explodes, but after looking at the price, I also looked at my pocket..."

"If you still don't have money, you will be in trouble. If you have money, you will wait. When Xinghan 001 is launched next year, Xinghan Zhixing has already increased its production capacity. The price of Xinghan 001 is too high. There will not be so many orders. The waiting time for the car will definitely be fast!"

"What are you afraid of? I still buy it if I don't have money! I have 5 in my hand. I originally planned to earn two more months to buy Xinghan mini. Then I saw Xinghan 001. Why should I buy Xinghan mini? It's not good to just buy a good family sedan ?"

"I think so too, deposit 6 to 8 as a down payment, and the rest will be directly loaned for five years, 60 installments over five years, and an interest-free event, and you only need to repay about 2000 a month. The key is that the cost of using trams is low. !"

"That's great, my monthly salary is less than 2000, Xinghan mini is already my extravagant wish..."

"Aren't you afraid to be the first batch of guinea pigs?"

"When Xinghan mini first came out, many people thought the same way, but now they are still waiting for the bus..."

"It's okay, when Polestar X comes out, you can infer the approximate level of Xinghan 001, eh? You can make an appointment for the press conference on October 10 on the Polestar Auto APP! The venue is on Stardust Square!"

"Fuck! It's Haicheng again? I'm really convinced!"

"Why are you not at the Xinghai Gymnasium this time, but instead went to the Stardust Plaza for an open-air press conference?"

"I don't know..."

"Why so much?"

At present, the road condition of the Xinghai Highway in the urban area of ​​Haicheng City is relatively good. It is not in the construction area, the road is wide, and the five-kilometer straight road is the most suitable for a test drive.

It just so happens that Polestar Motors has an official direct-sale store next to the Xinghan direct-sale store on Xinghai Highway. By the way, it can also advertise Xinghan mini and Xinghai driving school. After all, Xinghan mini is 3 yuan cheaper than Polestar X.

But in general, Polestar X is more in line with the positioning of a "family car", with large space and low car cost.

There are some other configurations of Polestar Motors that have not been announced. Chen Zifan is already preparing to include Polestar Motors in the Haishi Mirage game. In this way, Polestar Motors will have new models in the future that can be revealed in advance.

The automakers that joined Haishi Phantom can also choose not to disclose their products, it all depends on their own wishes, but the concept cars of the first few domestic automakers that participated in the investment must not have to run away.

Chen Zifan needs to rely on their strength to turn domestically-produced cars upside down, disrupt the market and at the same time strive for more development opportunities for Xinghan Zhixing and Polestar Automobile.

As soon as the announcement of Polestar Motors came out, Chen Zifan also sent the Stardust Marketing Department to allocate some channels for them to promote it. In less than an hour, the number of people who made appointments for the Polestar Motors conference exceeded 10.

Due to the open-air conference mode, the Polestar Automobile Conference does not have a fixed auditorium to limit the number of people like the Stardust Conference.

In other words, this is not a "press conference", but a "test drive meeting". The area of ​​Stardust Square is also large enough to accommodate a large number of passengers. Besides, how many talents can come from Haicheng or surrounding cities to participate?
More users who make appointments will only pay attention to the online press conference and the follow-up evaluation. In this regard, Chen Zifan, Mo Shaokun, Yang Zhirong and others have already prepared, and Yang Zhirong even recorded a promotional video himself.

This is also the promotional method of the Stardust press conference. Chen Zifan went off to test drive in person, and he really drove it at ordinary times, which strengthened the confidence of countless consumers to buy.

Even the chairman is using the Stardust mobile phone, Kai Xinghan mini, and even dared to do some "dangerous experiments" at the press conference to show his product strength, isn't it reassuring?In fact, Chen Zifan still has some serious news to tell.

When Xinghan 001 is released, he will come to two more "violent" experiments to show Xinghan Zhixing's product strength and confidence in his own products.

In the eyes of many people, there is no need for Chen Zifan to do these things. The market will verify whether the product is good or not, so why put himself in a dangerous situation?What if something goes wrong with one of the products and it gets screwed up?
But Chen Zifan thinks it doesn't matter at all. Nothing in this world can be guaranteed [-]%. He will only do his best to make electronic products develop to a new height in his own way.

The so-called danger is nothing at all~

Polestar Automobile Headquarters——

The current headquarters of Polestar Motors has been directly moved to the Bund of Haicheng, which is relatively close to the Xinghai Driving School. The original Pegasus Automobile factory is also on the Bund of Haicheng. The combination of several industries is another "development zone".

Yang Zhirong was very satisfied to see the number of appointments on the official website of Polestar Motors and the background of the APP.
"Hahaha! It's so fucking cool! This is what labor and management should do! Dealing with those car manufacturers for a few broken cars every day, labor and management have long since been unbearable! We can also build cars! We can also sell cars!"

What Jetta, what Santana, Passat, all go aside, now Haicheng is the world of new energy vehicles!However, the strength of the public is too strong, and Xinghan Zhixing can't afford it for the time being.

It doesn't matter, there is always a development process in everything, if you can't compare with the public, why do you have to compare with them?Isn't it over if you do your own thing?

After their official announcement of the press conference date, the APP of Polestar Motors directly exceeded 100 million downloads within a day. Before that, its downloads were just over 10. One can imagine the influence of the Stardust community.

The downloads are all concerned about new energy vehicles. After all, the quotation of Polestar X is too attractive, 8.58 yuan, 40kWh super large battery, the supplier is Stardust New Energy, and there is no need to worry about after-sales guarantee.

The battery life, appearance design, space, and configuration are also all right. It is a real family car sold to ordinary people. The most important thing is that the Polestar X is exempt from purchase tax and first-year insurance, and the landing price is cheap.

Of course, the most important market for Polestar X is Haicheng and several surrounding cities where charging stations are being built, and other regions are not yet available.

The number of downloads of 100 million means nothing. The current number of Stardust users is conservatively estimated to have exceeded 6000 million, and the number of daily active users is around 1800 million. Moreover, this is only the number of downloads, not the number of registered users.

Yang Zhirong is more concerned about the number of reservations for the Double Star press conference. After all, apart from the on-site, Stardust official website, Stardust community, and Polestar Auto APP will broadcast the press conference live. Unfortunately, there is no barrage function.

Otherwise, the online atmosphere will be even hotter~
Three days later, Yang Zhirong looked at the data on the screen and made a special call to Chen Zifan: "Hello? Director Chen, we have nearly 200 million reservations for the double star press conference. Look at this..."

"It's okay, don't worry."

"That's fine..."

If you’re worried, look at Stardust Technology’s “Internet of Everything” theme conference in June this year. The number of reservations on the official website of Stardust Technology alone has exceeded [-] million, not to mention the Stardust Community and Stardust Mall.

After all, the attention of new energy vehicles is much lower than that of smartphones, and Chen Zifan can't ask for anything. At the same time, he also heard Yang Zhirong's implication. Asking the number of appointments is just an introduction. Ask him everything.

Sure enough, Yang Zhirong continued: "When will Mr. Chen and Mr. Mo come to Polestar Motors? We have prepared everything that needs to be prepared, and we have brought out a few cars from the mass-produced cars for test driving..."

"Okay, I'll be there at five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Got it!"

Whether the test drive or not is not important, the important thing is to let Chen Zifan approve of this product, and then devote more resources to Polestar Automobile. Yang Zhirong has great ambitions, and he will not be satisfied with only producing taxis and buses.

Xinghan Zhixing has a higher product positioning?so what?Xinghan Zhixing always has a segmented product market that it can't take care of?Polestar Automobile can completely become the "supplement" of Xinghan Zhixing, making up for the short-board models.

Moreover, the new energy vehicle market is so large, and there are still many development directions, which cannot be swallowed by Xinghan Zhixing. More sub-brands or cooperative manufacturers are needed to create products together to eliminate fuel vehicles as soon as possible.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Zifan and Mo Shaokun drove their own modified Xinghan mini all the way to the Jixing Automobile Factory. On the way, many people and cars were gathered to watch, and some even followed them to take pictures.

There is also Xinghan mini, which is more distinctive than the modified cars of the two of them, but everyone surfs the Internet every day and knows who these two cars represent.

Chen Zifan didn't care, it didn't matter if there were people watching, unless it was something confidential, the rest he didn't care if his actions would be exposed.

On the contrary, Mo Shaokun was very excited and kept waving his hands to the people around him. He pretended to be calm on the surface, but he also knew that the business was important, so he first followed Chen Zifan into the Jixing Automobile Factory.

The layout of the factory is also based on the Xinghan Automobile Factory, but what Chen Zifan and Mo Shaokun went to was not the production area, but the storage area. Yang Zhirong greeted them on the way and showed the results:

"This is our stock car..."

Chen Zifan:? ? ?

What a stock car, it's new!
The inventory area is full of taxi versions of the Polestar X, and the rows of sea blue paint are very conspicuous. On the other side, the bus version of the Polestar G is painted in green, representing "green new energy". .

The color scheme of public transport vehicles in each city is different. For example, in some cities, taxis are green and yellow, and buses are white. In other cities, taxis are blue and white, red and white, and buses are yellow and green.

Chen Zifan didn't say much, and he and Mo Shaokun drove a car from the garage and went out. We can talk about work later, and now they just want to drive first, which is equivalent to a road test by the way. .

Polestar X also inherits the keyless start of Xinghan mini, but it needs to carry something similar to an NFC key. After starting, the LCD instrument of Polestar X looks very clear and bright.

And the light is relatively soft, which is good for the eyes, and the seat comfort is not bad. There is no peculiar smell in the car, only a slight plastic smell. This is because Xinghan mini does a good job, and there is no peculiar smell after leaving the factory.

It can only be said that in order to save costs, Polestar X has also discarded some good materials. In other respects... all are quite satisfactory. You can regard Polestar X as an enlarged version of Xinghan mini, but some configurations have been reduced.

Many problems cannot be felt through static experience, but dynamic experience is needed. As soon as Jixing X moved, Chen Zifan immediately felt its difference:

"This chassis...is okay."

Chen Zifan doesn’t usually drive a good car many times, most of the time he drives the Xinghan mini, but he can still tell whether the chassis is good or bad, like the Polestar X, he can feel the chassis is very neat as soon as he gets in the car.

This is a very natural feeling, and it will make people feel that driving the Polestar X will be very solid and safe.

Due to the use of a motor with a higher specification than Xinghan mini, Polestar X also performs very well in acceleration, and the sound feedback when stepping on the switch is also very pleasant, without the sharp and sharp current sound.

It can be heard that this is a specially adjusted switch sound, which makes people feel the feedback and is very comfortable at the same time. By the way, it also covers up the general problem of sound insulation.

The driving experience of the main driver and the co-drivers are almost the same. The more convenient point is that the main and co-drivers of the Polestar X have electric four-way seat adjustments. But for taxis, the comfort of the rear row is more important than the comfort of the front row.

Chen Zifan has no way to experience the riding experience in the back row for the time being, but he can also see that Polestar X has a lot of space in the rear row, the seat materials are relatively solid, and the sitting angle seems to be more comfortable.

The brakes are also very linear, which is also in line with the intuition of normal driving. The Polestar X is a car that is sufficient for everything and does not stand out anywhere, but it is better than fuel vehicles of the same price, and the price/performance ratio is relatively high.

The car was fine, but Chen Zifan was having a hard time driving, because not long after he drove out, countless people waved at him to hail a taxi on the road.

"So I'm a taxi driver now? Shall I go over and get a customer, experience the charging function of the Polestar X taxi version, and make some money by the way?"

Shaking his head, Chen Zifan quickly shook this idea out of his mind. He was just about to ask Mo Shaokun to go for a run in the Xinghai driving school grounds, but when he turned around, hey, this guy has already started soliciting customers.

Also pulled three young girls at once!
"Damn! I despise you guy!"

Chen Zifan was speechless. If he had known earlier, he might as well not have brought this guy here. He found an angle and turned around and headed back to the Polestar Automobile Factory. Let this guy play by himself.

As for the Polestar X, he originally provided a kinetic energy recovery solution and technology in his plan, but he did not adopt it in the end, because the kinetic energy recovery would affect the operating experience too much, and the power of several kilometers could not be recovered.

After seeing Yang Zhirong, Chen Zifan said directly: "The road test can be arranged. It will be arranged within three days, and there is still a week to promote it. But this time the road test is different. Let the driver go directly."

It is said to be a road test, but in fact the road test on the product has already been carried out, and some extreme car environment tests are still in progress. The road test mentioned by Chen Zifan refers to the road test for publicity, which is used for advertising.
