Chapter 985: Still trying to save face with Brother Huo

The launch of Yi'an T9 directly scared Mercedes-Benz into delaying the launch of the new S-Class model.

According to previous information, the design of the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is full of controversy.

Some people compare it with the new BMW 7 Series, especially the front face and headlights, saying that it is a tribute to the new BMW 7 Series.

I mean it's ugly.

It also caused quite a stir on the Internet.

After seeing the T9's appearance, interior, configuration, materials and high-tech, Dieter Zetsche feels that the new Mercedes-Benz S will not only be unable to beat the T9, but will also be crushed to the ground.

If the T9 sells well, Mercedes-Benz will even have to consider redesigning the new S model?

You have to know that it costs a huge amount of money to design and produce a car.

Mercedes-Benz suffered huge losses this time.

This might be the one that died in the womb.

They were so scared that they didn't dare to start the car, but the press conference here was still going on. After Holly proposed the open source solid-state battery technology, he personally announced the price of T9.

Three configurations.

Ranges from 89 to 109 million.

This price is also aimed at Mercedes-Benz S.

Every S model it compares to is more than 200,000 yuan cheaper.

The whole crowd cheered.

"God Huo" has once again been deified by the public.

After announcing the price, Holly did not leave immediately.

Instead, he enjoyed the applause and cheers, and then continued, "Everyone knows about the exchange between me and the president of Mercedes-Benz not long ago, right?"

There was a burst of laughter.

Knowing that Holly was making fun of himself.

Holly continued: “Mr. Cai said he welcomes competition, encourages exchanges, and invited me to visit Germany.

I was actually planning to go, but right after I got on the plane, I was hit with a round of sanctions.

Mr. Cai, it’s not that I don’t want to come, it’s that Germany and the EU don’t welcome me.

How about this, I invite you to visit China and we can communicate and learn.

I still admire you very much. You saved Benz from fire and water three times. Now the times have changed. I hope you can continue your legend.

See you in China.”

"Hahahaha, it's murderous!"

"The two-faced Dieter Zetsche probably doesn't dare to come."

"I was wondering why Mr. Huo didn't respond to Mercedes-Benz's provocation. It turns out he was planning something big."

"Boss Cai, do you dare to come?"

"I admit that this Mercedes-Benz president is very powerful, but he is still a little bit behind our CEO Huo."

"I just like Mr. Huo's tough attitude. No matter who your opponent is, I will fight to the end."

"..."

Netizens had heated discussions.

When Dieter Zetsche's translator saw the sarcasm and provocation in the barrage, he didn't know how to translate it to him.

"Please give an accurate translation," Dieter Zetsche said to the translator.

The translator just randomly picked a few barrages to translate for him, and his face turned green.

It was visible to the naked eye that there was a murderous look in his eyes.

Where are we now?

What Holly offers is just an appetizer. Next, Brother Holly is going to attack your high-performance sports car brand AMG.

Dieter Zetsche took a look at his work arrangements and schedule. He will have a few days of free time next month in mid-March. Coincidentally, the F1 Shanghai Grand Prix will also be held during these days, so he plans to go on a business trip to China.

He extended an invitation to Hawley, and it made sense for Hawley to give up his European trip because of the sanctions.

But Holly was named and mentioned at the press conference today in front of so many influential media and hundreds of millions of netizens at home and abroad who were paying attention to this matter. If he didn't go, he would really lose face.

I was thinking about how to save face from Holly.

Set your sights on the F1 Shanghai Grand Prix.

It is undeniable that after the former Red Bull chief technical officer Newey joined the E-On team, its performance improved by leaps and bounds, and it rushed from the last team to the middle of the league.

But compared with the top teams like Mercedes, it is still far behind. Since its establishment in 2010, Mercedes has created history in F1 events with eight championships in ten years.

Dieter Zetsche is preparing to keep his appointment and meet with Hawley in Shanghai to watch the F1 Shanghai Grand Prix together and regain the face he has lost during this period.

……

"Sir, the global president of Mercedes-Benz has replied to you and invites you to meet in Shanghai in the middle of next month to watch the F1 Shanghai Grand Prix together."

Holly was sitting in the tea room drinking tea when Zhong Yiwen came in to report.

Holly immediately understood Dieter Zetsche's intention. He wanted to save face on the track.

He shook his head and smiled: “OK, I will be there on time.

In addition, I invited the president of McLaren, the president of Ferrari, and the president of Lamborghini and Bugatti to visit Shanghai in my name.

He wants to save face, so we make the place more lively."

"I'll do it right away." Zhong Yiwen responded and left.

Ferrari and McLaren are both giants in the F1 paddock and strong rivals of Mercedes.

However, Holly invited the presidents of Ferrari and McLaren to China to watch the race not for F1 events, but to discuss cooperation.

Mr. Frank, the chief designer of E-Sun Auto, once worked for these two car companies and created the most globally influential models during his tenure.

If the two high-performance sports car manufacturers want to take a step forward in the field of pure electric or hybrid vehicles, Yian is willing to cooperate with them and serve as their technical service provider.

When it comes to vehicle design, they can rest assured that with old man Frank in charge.

The reason we invited them here is to let them see Yian’s technical background.

Winkelmann, global president of Lamborghini and Bugatti, is an old friend of Holly.

The two met when Holly went abroad for the first time to attend the Los Angeles Auto Show.

The two established a deep friendship because of a customized pure electric Bugatti coupe.

However, the car had been in production for seven or eight years and had not yet been delivered to Holly.

It can also be said that Bugatti has not yet solved the power system problem of manufacturing pure electric sports cars.

The high-profile announcement of Bugatti entering a new era of pure electric vehicles caused a huge sensation in the global high-performance supercar market. Everyone knew that Bugatti's advantage lay in the power system, and other car manufacturers thought that Bugatti had found an engine solution to replace Volkswagen's V16.

As a result, after so many years, we are still rehashing fuel-powered vehicles.

On the contrary, several other high-performance supercar manufacturers have successively produced real pure electric supercars.

Winkelmann could not raise his head.

His face was swollen.

If Holly had a solution to Bugatti's powertrain problems, Winkelmann would probably travel to China to meet with him immediately.

Almost as Holly predicted, several presidents gave positive responses and said they would meet with Holly in Shanghai as scheduled.

……

When Holly left for Shanghai to watch the F1 race, the Yian T9 had been on the market for exactly one month, and Fu Qiang sent him the sales data.

After reading it, he was very satisfied.

Sales exceeded 7 units within one month of launch.

More than 50,000 units are sold domestically, and 20,000 units are exported to Southeast Asian and South American markets.

This data is astonishing.

You have to know that it is a high-end car worth millions.

Mercedes-Benz S sold only more than 23,000 units last year, and the highest sales volume in recent years has been no more than 25,000 units.

But it is also a revenue of 20 to 30 billion.

After all, the price is there.

Yian's first executive sedan T9 sold over units in one month after its launch, with revenue of to billion yuan, which has never been seen in the high-end market.

He performed a miracle again.

It also proves that electric cars can compete with gasoline cars in the high-end market.

Holly told Fu Qiang: "Increase production capacity, ensure quality, and don't let users wait too long."

"As long as the production capacity can keep up, I will personally take care of the quality issues," Fu Qiang replied.

He also didn't expect that the million-dollar sedan would sell more than 70,000 units within a month after its launch.

Even if you have confidence in the technology and believe in Holly's influence and appeal, you will still find this data terrifying.
