I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 438 178-179: Can you actually play like this? (4000 words)
Hillhouse is no longer the small shrimp that produced electric fans more than 10 years ago. The introduction of new energy vehicles into this era can be said to have greatly advanced the progress of China's automobile industry.

Now the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China has reached about 25%. Although most of this penetration rate is dominated by hybrid vehicles, compared with the previous era, it is considered to be much ahead of schedule.

The rise of China's automobile industry is naturally inseparable from Hillhouse's acceleration.

Now, not only Hillhouse, BYD, Jili, Changan and other domestic second-tier companies have also been involved in the new energy automobile field on a large scale, and their development is relatively good.

Now the judges of the China Automobile Review Committee are discussing here, although aimlessly and without focus, the topic they are discussing naturally revolves around Hillhouse.

Because this company entered this industry unexpectedly, directly triggering a very different catfish effect.

Although they are working overtime, the reviewers do not have much complaints.

After all, they entered this unit with a certain passion for the automotive industry.

More importantly, this kind of overtime is different from the long-term overtime of other slavish workers. It is just one or two days of overtime occasionally in a month.

"Oh my god! This is... the best off-road vehicle under 500 million yuan that Gao Ling mentioned! Oh my god! The appearance of this car alone looks so domineering!"

It was already around ten o'clock in the evening, and the auditors had already started packing up and preparing to go home after get off work.

Although there are still a lot of cars in the capital city at 10 o'clock in the evening, it is much better than the rush hour around 6 o'clock when the traffic is jammed.

However, when they heard the judge's call, they all gathered around!
Gao Huaijun has set such a high goal. Although many friendly competitors say that they want to learn more from Hillhouse's innovative spirit, they secretly hope that Hillhouse will fail.

This high-profile approach is very different from the impression that ordinary Chinese people have of an entrepreneur, but no matter what.

This method is very effective!

Whether inside or outside the circle, everyone is curious about this upcoming off-road vehicle.

Curious about what they are like!
Now. . .

It finally appeared!
But as soon as it appeared, it caused the judges to exclaim!
Most of them had already packed their bags, and some were even preparing to go downstairs.

But when they heard about this off-road vehicle, they all came to watch.

"Oh my god, this is not Dynasty, this is the new series! What does this brand symbol represent?" Another judge standing by couldn't help but exclaimed after looking at the appearance of the car and then seeing the brand symbol of the car.

"Let me take a look at their brand description... Wow! This is awesome! This symbol represents the oracle character 'electricity'! This is the first company to integrate Chinese culture into car culture!" After seeing this, another judge looked up some information and exclaimed in admiration.

The LOGO represents the direct image of a brand.

Hillhouse Vehicles is now starting with the Dynasty model, using the first Chinese characters as its logo, Tang, Song, Yuan and Han, giving automotive culture a Chinese flavor.

Not only are Chinese characters used on the car logo, but they are also repeatedly emphasized on the steering wheel, seats, and footrests.

To strengthen the brand identity of this high-end "look up to" brand, which is based on Chinese luxury, Hillhouse is now truly working on redefining Chinese luxury.

It's not just the advanced technology, what's even more amazing is the advanced culture. Advanced culture is the most powerful!
Now, Hillhouse's new car not only uses Chinese characters, but also uses completely Chinese elements that other automobile companies dare not use, without any cultural factors from other countries.

It can be seen how stubborn Gao Huaijun's paranoia is.

But the judges present liked it very much.

In their view.

Chinese people should have this kind of mentality. Whether others say we are arrogant or paranoid, let them be.

"For thousands of years, China has always lived in this unique way on this eastern land. I like things that carry the core elements of China!"

"That's right! I hope that the names and models of subsequent models of Gaoling will not contain English letters. If you want to be paranoid, then be paranoid to the end. Who said that car logos must have English letters? We Chinese people want to redefine cars!"

"The logo design of this car is very thoughtful. The overall design inspiration comes from the Chinese character "electricity" in oracle bone script. From the insistence on using Chinese buttons to Gaoling's Chinese tail light design, and then to the Oracle-style "electricity" logo this time, it can be said that Gaoling adheres to the design concept of traditional Chinese culture. The overall logo design can be said to be recognizable."

At this time, another reviewer looked at the same common main brand name.

"The name of this sub-brand is actually Yangwang! Awesome!" another reviewer exclaimed.

To look up to something deeper means...

respect!

In addition, this also means that this car has high technology.

If this car does not perform well in the subsequent review, or even just does not stand out.

Then this car will definitely be a hit among the crowds who are looking forward to it to the highest point, as well as the friendly competitors who are highly involved and paying attention to it!

You deserve to be called an admirer of this crappy thing?
Amid the hustle and bustle of the judges, half an hour passed by unknowingly.

In the past, if we had worked overtime until this time, the reviewers would have become impatient and would have started working faster and wanted to leave work as soon as possible.

Who doesn’t want to go home early to be with his wife, children and a warm bed?

But today was different. Everyone stayed behind without any prior agreement. Even when the small leaders urged them to leave work, no one moved.

It has come to this point, and everyone wants to see how awesome this model called "Yangwang" can be.

"Oh! The appearance of this car looks interesting!" After discussing the logo of the car, they turned to the appearance of the car.

"It's really good. We have redesigned a design language. You know how intensive this kind of work is. This is built completely according to the standards of building a completely new car. Hillhouse has invested a lot of money this time."

"Indeed, no wonder they have launched a new series. Even the design language has been changed. This is probably Hillhouse's future high-end sub-brand. The design is really cool and domineering!"

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.

When ordinary people see this car, they will only say "this car is awesome" and at most add a sentence of C language.

But these reviewers saw the core problem right away.

This disruptive design, like redesigning the B737, will cost a huge amount of money.

Otherwise, why would a broadcasting company prefer to produce an iterative product with huge hidden dangers rather than redesign a new car?

Hillhouse is really courageous!
The ambition is also extremely great!
And now the appearance alone has aroused their interest.

Gao Huaijun has set such a high standard. Apart from anything else, his domineering appearance is a great plus.

Why is a luxury car a luxury car? The core purpose is not just that the owner knows that the car is luxurious.

The most important thing is that the general public thinks it is luxurious!

The Phaeton, a luxury car of Dazhong, did not sell well when Dazhong was at its peak in China. It can be said that it was a complete flop.

The core reason is that the Phaeton looks too low-key!
This car is so low-key that most ordinary people think it is a Passat when they see it!

You said that as a luxury car owner, I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then others told me that this was a Passat?

Isn't this a failure of pretending to be cool?
The core attribute of a luxury car is to show off!
In comparison, Hillhouse's new hard-core off-road vehicle, which is designed based on the U8, does not look low-key at all.

The new design of sci-fi level headlights in the shape of a time-space gate gives people a shocking feeling.

And according to the design description, this car is taller and more powerful than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which is a bit exaggerated.

You know, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is known for its tall and mighty appearance.

More flamboyant than the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, it seems that Gao Huaijun has firmly grasped the most important points of the C-end customer base!
Isn’t it said that Hillhouse’s brand is new?
I made this car look high-end and majestic in appearance. Even a car novice would not think that this is a low-key Phaeton-style model.

The main point is that this is a 'luxury car' that makes everyone feel luxurious!
"Eh! What the hell!"

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

"It's just a nice exterior, but the interior is just average?"

"I guess it's not that easy to be comparable to the G-Class."

"The G-Class is a benchmark product, occupying the majority of the market share in the luxury off-road vehicle market. This has allowed Mercedes-Benz to take the fattest piece of the pie, making the other two BBA brands extremely envious."

Just when everyone had prepared themselves mentally and accepted that Hillhouse's new car was slightly inferior to the G-Class, but not by much.

The judge who said "WTF" laughed sarcastically, and then continued, "Big G? If the research and development results of this car can be realized one by one, then the Big G is worthy of being called a luxury off-road vehicle? Subversive design! This is definitely a truly subversive design!"

"Oh no! This is no longer a disruptive design. The research and development of this product is aimed at redefining industrial products such as automobiles."

"After so many years, the automobile has been developed for 100 years, and it still has four wheels, a shell, and a steering wheel. Everything else has not changed much. Now China is redefining the automobile industry!"

At this time, team leader Zhang Heng, who had already packed up and was preparing to go home, also looked over with curiosity.

He knows these employees too well.

When you ask them to work, it's like you push me and I push you.

But after get off work, everyone runs away faster than rabbits!

But what happened tonight?
It's almost half past ten now!
It turns out that none of them have left work yet and are still gathered together.

"What's going on? Haven't they all left work yet?" Zhang Heng heard the employee's loud shout and walked over curiously.

"Manager Zhang!"

"Manager Zhang hasn't left work yet!"

"Hello, Manager Zhang!"

After he nodded and greeted these people, he pushed aside the employees outside and walked in to take a closer look.

What the hell!

No wonder!
It turned out that Hillhouse's new off-road vehicle had completed research and development and had been sent here for the certificate of conformity.

He quickly flipped through the previous logo page, and a hint of difference flashed in his eyes.

It seems that Hillhouse Capital is going to be high-profile this time and it intends to do so to the end!
However, he still had some concerns about Hillhouse.

He is aware of Hillhouse's strength, but it is directly competing with G-Class, Mercedes-Benz's highest-level product.

Is this definitely a Chinese car, or is it more of an unpopular off-road vehicle? Can they be compared?
Then he flipped open the exterior of the off-road vehicle called Yangwang and nodded slowly.

It is indeed quite good and it plays to Hillhouse’s strengths.

But. . .

When he came across the function description of this car, he couldn't help but say "Oh my God!"
"This car can actually go into water!" a judge nearby shouted excitedly.

"The emergency floating mode is fundamentally different from amphibious armored vehicles." Zhang Heng said calmly.

The reviewer standing by urgently checked the relevant information about Hillhouse.

This floating mode is similar to the principle of amphibious armored vehicles, both of which strengthen the body structure and maintain the necessary water tightness.

This vehicle weighs only over 2 tons, while modern common armored vehicles are over 10 tons.

With this vehicle's size and 2-ton mass, it should have no problem maintaining buoyancy for a short period of time.

The difference is that amphibious armored vehicles have the ability to drain water. The principle is that there is a water pump inside the vehicle, which will pump out the water that enters the vehicle body, so that the vehicle body can float on the water for a long time.

However, Hillhouse's Yangwang does not have this function. It directly uses the body sealing technology and has a dust and water resistance level of IP68, so it is expected that it can only float on the water for a short time.

Therefore, it was not promoted as amphibious, only said to be used for escaping from distress.

"It's already very impressive. Does he dare to advertise that it can float on water for a long time? If someone tries to cross the Yangtze River and someone dies, wouldn't it be terrifying!" said another judge on the side.

"Right! After all, amphibians are not very useful in normal times. It's good enough to be able to escape from water, but this is also a very important guarantee for safety."

"You never know! I'm really excited when I think of this. The basin and bucket for fish will come in handy. If I drive to the lake to fish, guess what? Hey! I will definitely be the most handsome guy in the village at that time!"

"He's the most handsome guy in the village. Come on! Let's not talk about this kind of car. It's worth at least a million. And now it's comparable to the G-Class. It's priced at more than two million. Three million is not surprising. Do you have the money? More importantly, your air force can catch anything except fish. Just forget it~"

When they saw the amazing functions of Hillhouse, they started discussing it in a buzzing manner, some even saying a word from Hillhouse: the most handsome guy in the village.

They don't notice that time is passing by.
