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

Chapter 488, Chapter 284-286: Launching new products! (4000 words)
Soon Xiaoju got in the car and was about to conduct the dynamic test on this product that he had been interested in for a long time!

A car is of no use if its static indicators are exaggerated.

If your dynamic ability is poor, that would be fatal.

The first group of people will buy your product because they think it looks good and has a good gimmick, but the second group of people will definitely not buy it.

The most important thing when buying a car is not the publicity, but the tap water!
You bought this car, I looked at it for a while and thought it was good, so I decided to buy one for fun.

In fact, in many cases, cars are sold this way.

This is the importance of product positioning in circles.

Hillhouse has launched two models with different positioning in the A-class car market. Song PLUS is mainly aimed at male customers, which is equivalent to the positioning of the Mate series of business phones in mobile phones.

The Gaoling Xingyao is equivalent to the P series mobile phone products, and its focus is on making targeted recommendations to women who like high-value and fashionable products.

"We have been using this vehicle on the viaduct in Cheung Chau for some time now."

“It was a very smooth ride.”

"The road in Cheung Chau is very flat, and if you want to take the mountain road, there are many options to go to Xicheng."

“You could say this is a great place for road testing.”

“When I came here, I actually didn’t have particularly high expectations for the dynamic test of this car, because after all, this is an A+-class car with a price of 12 yuan.”

"But I just saw the static aspects of this car, including the configuration of the interior and exterior, and Hillhouse's high level of supply chain control, which made me have certain expectations for this car."

"After all, Hillhouse has been looking up to this model for its good performance, and it also has a certain consumption volume. Now we are going back to make such a low-end, or not low-end, mid-to-low-end model. In addition, the amazing sales performance of this car in the first month also makes me have some expectations for this car in the face of similar competing products from other car companies."

As he spoke, Xiaoju was driving slowly from Tianning Temple in Changzhou to the outside of the city.

Although it is not rush hour now, there are still some people walking in groups of three or five on the road.

When they saw this car with beautiful colors and high recognition on the road, many people stopped and raised their mobile phones to take pictures.

Xiaoju was also very happy to see this scene.

In China, those who can enjoy this kind of treatment are generally those who drive luxury cars like Lamborghini and Ferrari. Even if you drive a Mercedes-Benz, you probably won't be able to enjoy such treatment.

It is indeed a happy thing that this car is attracting so much attention now.

"If the full score is 10, how would you rate this car, Xiaoju?" the photographer asked in a voice-over.

"If the full score is 9, I would give this car a !"

"I was originally going to give it 8.5 points, but this car is so eye-catching now, so in terms of appearance, it has a certain bonus."

"In terms of driving experience, this car's driving experience is even better than many fuel-powered cars that cost more than 20 yuan."

"Whether it's the directionality of the Hillhouse Map, which is a collaboration with Hillhouse Technology, or the tracking of the brakes and accelerators, I think it's done very well."

"At least I think it is far beyond the limit for home use."

Xiao Ju couldn't help but say with emotion.

It is now possible to achieve such a high level of technological integration in A-class cars. Compared with the three major Japanese brands led by Corolla and Sylphy, it can be said to be a crushing existence.

And although this car uses a semi-suspension mode, it uses a simplified version of Hillhouse's Yunnian D system.

Although this is the lowest-level model of the Yunnian system, the functions inside are so simple that they cannot be simpler.

However, on Yunnian D, the strength of active suspension damping can still be adjusted by controlling the solenoid valve of the shock absorber, and the hardness of the chassis system can be adjusted according to road changes.

Compared with a bare-bones car like Corolla, the Yunnian D has only three sofas on top of a roof, except for the engine. No Chinese person will buy this A-class car from aunties!
"For the intelligent driving of Gaoling Xingyao."

"For this purpose, I interviewed Mr. Zhou Zhou, the marketing director of Hillhouse Vehicles."

"According to him, the biggest application of this car for intelligent driving is in urban road use under non-extreme circumstances and normal driving on highways. At the same time, when driving, you need to put your hands on the steering wheel every 15 seconds."

"And this type of scenario is also where smart driving is used most."

"So, in order to control the total price, they also put such an L2-level intelligent driving system on this car."

Xiao Ju said excitedly on the side.

In the past, Hillhouse’s intelligent driving system was generally placed in the Tang and Yangwang models due to the high R&D costs.

It can now be placed in mid- and low-end products. Although entry-level L2 intelligent driving still requires a high-end car of 15 yuan, it is far better than before.

With the continuous advancement of technology, the entry threshold will definitely become lower and lower.

At this time, when he stopped at the intersection of Longyou South Road and Zhongwu Avenue, he suddenly found a left turn arrow on the smart map, and at the same time, the left turn signal of this Gaoling Xingyao was turned on!

"Fuck! That's awesome! He can actually enter the turning area directly, this is too awesome!" There was a hint of excitement in Xiaoju's voice at this time, and he shouted.

This action looks simple, but it is not easy at all to do.

The essence of vehicle control is an issue of electromechanical control.

This is just like everyone who comes out of a driving school knows clearly whether to go straight or turn.

However, after a massive amount of learning and correction, the behavioral decisions of intelligent driving can be made better than most drivers in terms of navigation path selection. However, details such as when to overtake and when to give way depend on the manufacturer's tuning.

The environmental perception technology used in Hillhouse's product senses the location, analyzes various activity instructions, and then gives the correct choice, which is actually a very difficult task.

Because this involves a dynamic game process of artificial intelligence algorithms!
It is very different from the different objects seen by the human body. The actual objects perceived by artificial intelligence are numbers composed of 0s and 1s.

Now you ask it to make a reasonable judgment among so many numbers, which shows that the high-end version of this car has indeed transcended the low-end assisted driving technology of L1, making intelligent driving more like a real person!
When the technology of this product reaches L5, this person will be truly personified and become a being beyond ordinary humans!

Although Xiaoju only saw a very small detail, he was still deeply shocked by Hillhouse's technical implementation.

He can now clearly perceive the true meaning of Hillhouse's statement that "technology changes life".

If he is an ordinary person, he cannot feel the changes brought about by this, but as a car self-media person who has been engaged in self-media for ten years, he can feel the amazing vitality that China's automobiles currently have after becoming intelligent.

The source of this vitality is the owner of the car he is driving now, Hillhouse Vehicles.

He has sensed the changing times.

At this time, after the red light in front of the car he was driving turned green, the Gaoling Xingyao started moving on its own.

However, a white van suddenly came out from the side and turned from the driver's side. Then the white van suddenly changed direction and almost hit the Gaoling Xingyao. The Gaoling Xingyao suddenly braked and waited until the white van passed before resuming its driving speed.

All I heard was Xiao Ju exclaiming, "It's hard to believe that this A+-class car can actually respond to such an emergency."

Under the camera, Xiaoju's expression was clearly that he was deeply shocked.

Although this is just a simple car-changing maneuver, any average driver can handle it.

However, many experienced drivers are still prone to accidents if they are not focused.

The car was able to react instantly.

what does this mean?
This means that the intelligence level of this car has far exceeded his imagination!
He originally thought that the most this driverless car could do was to be able to drive on the highway for a long time.

Who would have thought that this thing is so awesome?
hard to imagine!

It’s really hard to imagine!

No words could describe his shock and excitement at this moment. This Gaoling Xingyao was not weak, it was far stronger than he had imagined.

The entire video is about an hour long.

From the initial product appearance, interior style, suspension method to the final test drive intelligent driving system, every aspect reflects the core characteristics of this car.

The number of views of this video increased from a few thousand at the beginning to millions in a short period of time.

It can be said that this was beyond the expectations of Xiaoju, a small reviewer with only more than 100,000 fans.

You know, he used to write articles for car magazines. After he became famous, he tried out new media, and the growth of his fans was very slow.

But now, just a small evaluation video, and the first test video of Gaoling Xingyao, has made the number of his fans soar from over 100,000 to over one million!

He was extremely shocked and incredulous.

Because he knows that these fans are not the zombie fans he bought.

This is a real live fan!

And in this video, there are more than ten thousand people leaving comments, which also shows how popular this video is!
[The Gaoling Xingyao is really beautiful, and the headlights inherit Volvo's "family-style Thor's Hammer style", and are even better looking than Volvo's. And Xiaoju's assistant is so pretty, and her clothes are so beautiful! I like it three times in one click. I hope Xiaoju will have more Vlogs of new cars in the future, and more shots of the assistant!]

[I’m a die-hard fan who has watched so many of your videos, but I really want to buy this car (with a dog head). ]

[I tried this car, and also tried several sedans and SUVs at the same price. Because my budget is like this, my family has the conditions to install a charging station, and I plan to go all-electric. I personally prefer sedans and am satisfied with the Gaoling Xingyao. My girlfriend also likes the appearance of this car at this price, but currently my family has an old car that I plan to scrap to receive subsidies. If I change the car, my parents will often sit in it, and the sedan will not be so comfortable for my parents. I am still struggling with the SUV or sedan. If it is an SUV, I will choose Gaoling's Yuan or Qin. Damn, how did I become a Gaoling fan without realizing it. ]

【A trunk with a large opening and large space is more practical than an independent suspension. Why? Because most people who buy cars at this price do not have a high income. They may have just graduated and worked for a year or two, or they may be a young couple. The back seat is only used occasionally. A large trunk is used for moving house and storing sundries. If you have children, a large trunk is more practical because children have more things than adults. The front seat and trunk belong to you, and the back seat is for others. It is enough for you to use it practically. 】

[What the above person said is right. I can feel that Hillhouse's positioning of this car is still very accurate. There are no messy ideas that influence Hillhouse's thinking. It is also well differentiated from Hillhouse Song PLUS. It is hard to imagine that a car company that has been established for less than ten years can be so accurate in product diversity. ]

[This car is very smart because it does not use Tang's LiDAR version of the intelligent driving system. Customers do not actually need very many intelligent driving systems in extreme situations. The market has always been cruel. You cannot gain a foothold in the market just because you are good. LiDAR is undoubtedly good, but the hardware cost is high. Pure viewing angle can be improved through continuous iteration of data, and the effect can be close to that of LiDAR. By then, cars of the same level will all have similar intelligent driving systems. Because of the advantage of low cost, they can gain a foothold in the market, while cars with high prices will be difficult to sell.]

[Indeed, from the evaluation, the effect is very good! For the general public, the ordinary version of L2 level intelligent driving is completely sufficient. When it comes to L3 and above, laser radar is definitely needed for adaptive gaming, which involves the game algorithm. My God! Not to mention the high-precision laser radar, the high-precision chips in the car are probably going to smoke. ]

[This is a very realistic one-shot video. This is the correct way for normal people to use smart driving. This video feels very real.]

[With this price and this product strength, if it was a foreign car, people would probably go crazy. Unfortunately, it is a domestic car. Those workers must be dejected. How could such a car be made by Chinese people? If Chinese companies do well, wouldn't it be more painful than killing them? Now compared with the Tesla that costs 25 yuan, doesn't it seem stupid to buy a Tesla? ]

[The salarymen know nothing. China is a big bug whose industrial capacity accounts for more than 40% of the world's total. It is also an evil god that cannot be looked at directly, cannot be described, and is inexplicably terrifying. When it comes to climbing the technology tree, Industrial Cthulhu is still much better than Financial Hastur. ]

[What can America show off in terms of cars now? Tesla is doing well under America's protection policy, but that's it. What about the others? Is there anything else? Nothing! What else does the Bath Emperor have except the bathing joke? Volt's workers go on strike every day to show their presence, and now they are all driven out of the Chinese market. Although GM is half-crippled, it is the only company still lingering in China. What about the others? None! ]

[They say that those who buy Hillhouse are stupid and have a lot of money. ]

[People are stupid but have more money, so shouldn’t these workers reflect on whether they are too smart and therefore have always been poor? ]

[If you drive the car yourself, what is the need for a driver? ]

[Apart from being in a hurry and traveling up the mountain, I don’t have much of a job as a driver.]

What surprised everyone was that Hillhouse’s autonomous driving technology was so powerful.

It is really beyond everyone's expectations that a product that costs just over 100,000 yuan can achieve such a powerful level of artificial intelligence.

If the first wave of people who bought cars in the first month were following the trend and mainly valued the good looks of the Hillhouse Xingyao car, then now, many consumers who are interested in new things and Hillhouse's artificial intelligence system are immediately interested.

Many people rushed to Hillhouse’s city flagship store to make appointments for test drives.

Just like the message said: Who wants to be a driver except when rushing and traveling in the mountains?

Isn’t it nice to scroll through your phone in the car, rub your girlfriend, or even make love on the highway?

If the conversion of driving is a rigid need, then now intelligent driving is an improvement need.

In the past, when there was no smart driving, people had no choice but to accept gasoline cars that were low in power, had simple interiors, and had not been upgraded for many years.

Now Hillhouse has made great progress and has developed an A+ class car with extremely high cost performance, which can be completely described as a dimensionality reduction attack!
At this time, Feng Xiaochen, who was in the office of Hillhouse President, couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the video, but he still hummed softly in his mouth.

Because down there, too many workers have lost their defense.

Or they say it's just a little prettier in appearance, what's the big deal? Fuel vehicles have a history of hundreds of years, and they are safe, stable, and have good value. The cost of maintenance is much higher than that of an electric car. If you buy an electric car, it will be extremely expensive to replace the battery in the future!

What’s more, Hillhouse Capital is a new force. It has only been established for a few years. It is estimated that it will go bankrupt in a few years. After it goes bankrupt, who will you turn to for maintenance of your products?
Or else Hillhouse uses its own chips, which are very unstable. If your car loses power during a journey, it will be very sad.

"What is Xiaochen looking at?" At this time, a gentle male voice came from behind.

"Oh, it's Mr. Gao!" Feng Xiaochen blushed slightly when she saw Gao Huaijun bending down to look at her computer screen.

She smelled a slight scent of sweat mixed with women's perfume on Gao Huaijun's white shirt. Although the smell was very faint, her sense of smell was very sensitive and she still smelled it.

For some reason, she felt a little jealous.

She knew that Gao Huaijun was most likely accompanying some woman last night and she was just a small secretary.

However, the jealousy in her heart still emanated unconsciously.

"These workers are like dog food from Western countries. They are attacking us one by one. You don't need to care about them."

"These people only criticize Hillhouse for not telling the truth and for fraud, and don't criticize anything else. This shows that they also know that Hillhouse's product strength is very tenable, and there is nothing to criticize about other things. This time Hillhouse should thank those who criticize it. Without them, Hillhouse would not have such high popularity. After all, the media did not report on it. Without them, Hillhouse's popularity would not have been so long-lasting. The most critical point is that this group of people who criticize Hillhouse have completely rooted Hillhouse fans, especially the new generation of young people, in their hearts. The reasons are, first, the rebelliousness of young people, second, the national propaganda is just at this stage, and third, Hillhouse's quality has been acceptable for a long time."

"The more you step on it, the more I will buy. I just want to support Hillhouse."

"This is the benefit brought by the user base, so you don't have to pay attention to those who criticize Hillhouse or step on it. Instead, you should thank them. It is mediocre if you are not envied by others!"

"This group of people are also our free promoters!"

Gao Huaijun said lightly with a smile.

But to be honest, the fact that Hillhouse was increasingly criticized by employees was beyond his expectations.

Although Hillhouse had been ridiculed for its salary in the past, the scale was not large, but Zhongwei attracted a lot of attention.

Gao Ling Xingyao was able to break down this group of people's defenses this time, which still surprised him.

"Also, please prepare the conference room. We at Hillhouse Technology mainly require the development of a new product. I am going to listen to what you are going to do." Gao Huaijun instructed at this time.

After hearing what Gao Huaijun said, Feng Xiaochen's eyes lit up!
After she came, Gao Huaijun would basically come up with a stunning product every six months.

The first one is the Xiaoling APP, which is now very popular in China and has exceeded 100 million daily active users.

The more she used this app, the more addicted she became. Sometimes she couldn't stop even until one or two in the morning. She felt like she was addicted.

The second product is Hillhouse Star, which is currently selling hot in the market.

This product is so powerful and beautiful that it has the potential to crush A-class cars from big-name car companies. It is hard for her to imagine that this car was made by a car company that was established less than ten years ago.

But Hillhouse did it!

Generally speaking, Gao Huaijun will not participate in product seminars for Hillhouse Vehicles and Hillhouse Technology’s micro-innovation products.

The CEOs of these two companies would only show the finalized plan to Gao Huaijun. If they found any problems, they would send it back for revision. If there were no problems, they would take it down and continue with research and development and iteration.

And now, Gao Huaijun told her that a meeting was going to be held because a new product of Hillhouse Technology was going to be launched?
Is it possible for Gao Huaijun to personally participate in the launch of this new product?

That would be terrible!

This is definitely a product that, in her opinion, should have a very big difference!

Sometimes she feels a little dreamy that Hillhouse, a company ranked more than 100th in the Fortune 500, can actually have such strong technological innovation capabilities instead of relying on its past achievements year after year like Pingguo Company. This is completely incredible!
