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

Chapter 441, 184-185: Hillhouse Capital is about to start its IPO! (4000 words)
"There happens to be a parking lot nearby, and there happens to be a parking space at the very back."

"But our car is very long. Let's park it in that parking space and see how it works!"

Dean Meng had no choice but to let him experience some safe projects.

He said, pointing to the parking space in front.

Leader Wang looked forward and discovered that if the conventional method was used at this location, even a small car like the Mitsubishi Swift would find it difficult to turn around and fall in.

This car is so big, how could it turn around and fall in?
As they were talking, Dean Meng asked him to drive the car to the end and then turn around on the spot.

Adjust to ninety degrees on the screen.

Then click the Start button!
Amidst Leader Wang's exclamation, the car turned 90 degrees and then slowly aligned itself with the parking space!

"Oh! My God! Domestic cars actually have such a magical function!" When Leader Wang saw that the rear end of the car was pointed straight at the back, the surprise on his face became even more intense.

"Now you can reverse into the parking space." Dean Meng looked a little surprised, then said with a smile.

This kind of function requires very strong capabilities for precise control of the vehicle.

In his opinion, the fact that Hillhouse can achieve this shows that their research and development of automobiles has reached a very advanced level!

After Wang parked the car in the parking space, Dean Meng said with admiration, "I originally thought that this on-the-spot U-turn was a fancy ability, but now it seems that in some usage scenarios, it really sounds very easy and natural."

"Indeed, if I don't have this function, when I park at some corners, I have to try and maneuver the car dozens of times before I can finally back in. But one thing is that using the car like this is a bit taxing on the tires." Leader Wang seemed to be in a very good mood and said jokingly.

"If those rich people change a few more tires, they can make a greater contribution to the country's domestic demand." Dean Meng replied humorously.

However, for the testers outside, it was a different scene.

They watched from a distance and saw that this U-turn seemed more exciting and interesting.

They all took out their mobile phones to take pictures and have heated discussions.

"Wow! This U-turn is so cool!"

"Yes! If you turn around in the middle of a crowd, you will definitely get a lot of people turning their heads to look at you."

"It was originally supposed to be an emergency function, such as entering a dead end, but now it seems that this function is more suitable for showing off."

"When the traffic light turns green, if the car behind you uses the high beam to illuminate you, you can turn around and use the high beam to illuminate him."

"Turn around with one click, then turn on the searchlight to blind the high-beam dog behind you, then turn it back and run away? Is that right?"

"The traffic police camera is watching us. Go on with your show. I'm recording it."

"You're driving such a luxury car, and you're still afraid of being fined? Of course, the emotional value is the most important!"

"You guys, what you said is too funny."

Then, the car came to the side of a pool. Seeing that Leader Wang didn't understand why Dean Meng asked him to come here, Dean Meng could only apologize and said, "Leader Wang, this car can enter the water for emergency floating. Let's test the wading effect. Otherwise, we should let the tester do the test. After all, the water here is quite deep, more than two meters and close to three meters, which is a bit dangerous."

Hearing what President Meng said, Leader Wang became even more interested.

There are many cars that run fast, but only a few of them can go into the water!
If there is any, it is in the military, and only armored vehicles have such capabilities.

"It's only two meters of water. What are you afraid of? It will be fine if we open the window at the back. Let's give it a try!" he said decisively.

As an off-road enthusiast, I like to drive off-road vehicles, but I have never been to the desert.

With this identity, he is not allowed to go.

But now that he has encountered such an interesting thing, how could he not give it a try?

When Dean Meng heard him say this, he could only nod helplessly.

As he spoke, he pressed a wading button under the instruction of Dean Meng, and then drove the car slowly into the deep water test pool!
I saw that the front of the car was leaning forward slightly, and the wheels had already gone deep into the water, turning slightly. The water waves were surging wildly with the turning of the wheels!

At this time, the two people in the car did not feel much, but the testers outside the car were all stunned after seeing it.

There was a moment of silence, and then thunderous applause broke out!
Before they tested the car, they knew it could function as an emergency float.

But he was skeptical and didn't think it could float on water.

A car is not a boat, there are too many leaking points.

But after the car slowly made a long circle in the wading pool, they had to believe it.

This car is really awesome!
"The skylight opens automatically as soon as it enters the water. This design really pays attention to details!"

"Except for the awkward posture in the water and the slow speed, everything else is perfect."

"The front of the car must sink so that there is downforce in the river to get it back up. The dynamic design of this car is very good."

"Another reason is that there is no one in the back seat and no load! If there is a sudden wading in reality, the front of the car will not tilt that much, but this tilt is not a big problem, it looks really fierce!"

"After wading through the water, it should be re-inspected! The cost should be a lot of money."

"Would the person driving this car care about this little money? It's not enough to spend on a drink! But if you drink with friends to show off, the effect will be different!"

After Leader Wang drove the car into the water, he himself became a little cautious.

When he drove the car to the other side of the pool, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Awesome, really awesome! This is the reason why Hillhouse is so awesome! This is the ultimate way to play with cars!"

"It's expensive for a reason. You get what you pay for." Dean Meng was also somewhat happy.

Just based on its appearance, these two functions and its high power, this car will be highly anticipated not only in China but also abroad!
Today's Hillhouse Auto can really make the Chinese people proud!

"Let's test the last function, the automatic launch of the drone. As for the ultimate power of this car, let the people below do the final test?" Dean Meng asked cautiously from the side.

He was really worried that Wang might have too much fun and drive the car to its top speed of 200km/h. That would be really crazy! "Okay, let's try it." Wang also heard the hidden meaning in his words and nodded with a smile.

He also knows how to prioritize.

This car is fun, but you can't play with it willfully.

After he pressed a confirmation button, a voice came from inside the car, "The drone is starting up. Please keep the vehicle still and make sure there is no obstruction above the vehicle."

Then the large screen on the vehicle turned to the interior of the drone cabin.

After half a minute of battery replacement, another voice came from inside the car, "The drone is ready to take off, please keep the vehicle still."

Then, the roof of the car was opened directly, and then a drone flew out of the cabin!
"Oh! Very interesting, and the visual effect is also very good. What should I do?" Leader Wang said to himself.

Then, the drone paused at a height of about dozens of meters above the car, and then a voice came again, "The car has been successfully identified, and the drone has automatically followed it. It is recommended that the vehicle drive at a speed lower than 40 kilometers per hour."

Then Dean Meng clicked on Surround to see what would happen.

Then we saw the drone circling the car. Then Leader Wang at the side pressed a red dot on the screen, and the camera stopped. We saw the testers outside gathered together to watch the excitement.

Dean Meng couldn't help but laugh and scold when he saw this, "These little bastards, they are not working properly, but are just standing around watching. I will teach them a lesson after I get off the car."

"Haha! They are also participants in the rise of Chinese automobiles. Don't be too harsh on them." Leader Wang laughed at the side.

Dean Meng nodded.

In fact, he didn't really want to punish them, but Leader Wang was standing by and seeing his subordinates like this, he had to express his opinion.

However, the testers standing by did not have this awareness and were still in heated discussion.

"When you go out to play with an off-road vehicle, whether it's a G-Class or a Cruze, you'll look so proud when you fly this drone."

"You are being too narrow-minded and overqualified. If a country in the Middle East bought several thousand vehicles from second-hand cars in several Central Asian countries, made a DIY ammunition supply module, and installed bulletproof armor, wouldn't that be a small land aircraft carrier?"

"Fuck! You are the beggar version of the second artillery, right?"

"Wading, turning on the spot, extreme off-road performance, one-button drone control, laser radar, infrared recognition, chassis steel plate protection, this civilian version of the armored vehicle, even if I'm Mo Ge's drug dealer, I'd drool just looking at it!"

"It's still missing a vehicle-mounted machine gun! Only the kind with fully automatic search for the enemy is qualified. The glass is replaced with bulletproof ones, the body is replaced with armor, the wheels are replaced with a version of reinforced tires, and the five people are killed. The model is changed to a cross-travel type. Okay, now, Camel brothers, how much do you offer?"

"That's probably going to be a big scramble! Take my money and get out of my car!"

The test site supervisor at the side saw that the testers were going too far the more they spoke, so he couldn't help but frown and scolded them, "Stop talking, the leaders are all here, you are so disrespectful."

After Wang drove the car around again and stopped, he exclaimed, "This car is really great! It has so many technologies, and they are cross-cutting technologies with other fields, which have never been involved before."

"The progress of Chinese cars is really visible to the naked eye!"

"Indeed! Among the models we are reviewing this year, many are domestically produced models, and they are all very eye-catching models."

"Interior, power, and appearance all have their own advantages, and now the industrial chain has also emerged."

"However, these highlight models are basically focused on new energy models."

Dean Meng's expression couldn't help but become excited, and he added.

After hearing what Dean Meng said, Leader Wang showed an expression of understanding on his face.

It seems that China's encouragement of the development of new energy vehicles is correct in a sense.

China's new energy vehicle strategy not only exempts vehicles from purchase tax, but also provides a heavyweight benefit of green license plates, as well as subsidies of varying degrees.

With these three approaches, China's new energy vehicles are now showing a catching-up trend, based on the emergence of automobile companies such as Hillhouse and BYD.

You know, when the country first formulated the new energy vehicle policy, it was under tremendous pressure.

It's not just the people who think the country is wasting money. The first people to enjoy the subsidies are a bunch of scumbags. It's literally the same as throwing money into a puddle.

More importantly, some joint venture factories, backed by the reputation of old state-owned enterprises, are also collectively attacking the country!
If you can make money without doing anything by making joint venture cars, then there is really no need to play with new energy vehicles.

They have to do new research and development, and if the products they develop are not good, they will be scolded by their superiors for wasting money on crap, so they really don't want to play with these.

In this situation, under pressure from both inside and outside.

After several years of development, it is really not easy for new energy vehicles to develop to this level.

. . . . . . .

Because of a series of previous squeezes and the development of China's automobile industry.

Recently, the Chinese automobile industry is not optimistic about Hillhouse's future prospects.

The most important point is that Hillhouse’s development time is really too short!

In just a few years, so many new models of cars have been produced like making dumplings. Even if your product strength is good, the accumulation of quality control, channels, consumer reputation, etc., these things cannot be accumulated with money.

Your production capacity is increasing so quickly. Do you have enough manufacturing personnel to strictly control the quality of each vehicle?
Your cars are to be sold throughout China, and the majority of car buyers in China are middle-aged people over 30 years old. When they buy a car, they tend to go to 4S stores. So, through the establishment of offline channels, how can you make this group of people with conservative consumption habits buy your products?
This is a car brand that has been around for several years. This is not a mobile phone. If it breaks down or becomes overheated, you can just replace it with another brand. There is no possibility of personal safety issues.

But cars are different.

If your car is in trouble, it may affect your life!
Naturally, many conservative consumers will not choose Hillhouse's products.

Therefore, even though many people in the industry think that Hillhouse’s product strength is very good, if all foreign companies pay attention to it and attack it together, it will be very dangerous!

After all, they have money, connections, resources, and even have been around for a long time. Why do you compare with them?
In such an environment of public opinion, Hillhouse successfully obtained the certificate of qualification and is about to start the listing that Hillhouse has been longing for!
