Technology company, I will become the light of China!

When the island country's senior executives and car company chairmen were in despair, world-renowned car companies such as BMW Group, Ford Group, and Mercedes-Benz Group in Europe and the United States had already felt the same way. All members of the board of directors remained silent and were in a state of confusion.

The reshuffle of new energy came too fast, and they had no way to respond.

The concept of new energy was just proposed at the beginning of the year, and at the end of the year, you have a "family portrait". This speed is comparable to that of the Flash.

In Washington, D.C., Renato Marotta directly sounded the alarm for all members of Congress and sent a group message to convene an emergency meeting.

You know, whether it is the United States, Germany, or France, Japan and South Korea, the automobile industry is an important support for their domestic economies.

Industrially strong countries are worried, while industrially weak countries are happy.

why would you say so?

Industrial powers are afraid of having their status quo disrupted.

Industrially weak countries cannot produce cars and can only rely on imports. What does the change in the world situation have to do with them?
This is like consumers buying goods. As long as your company does not involve issues of principle and quality, no one cares whether your company's CEO has fickle relationships or whether there is any family infighting. People only care about the product itself.

However, some people are wondering, can new energy vehicles really sell well in the Middle East and Africa?

You know, the price of gasoline in the Middle East and Africa is very cheap, which is also the largest battlefield for fuel vehicles.

……

The imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

Bird's Nest Stadium.

As the new energy "family portrait" came to a complete stop, Chen Xing also introduced earnestly: "As you can see, in addition to flying cars, we will also launch pickup trucks, coupes, heavy trucks, SUVs and mini Lao Tou Le models at the same time."

"Let's talk about our pickup truck first."

Chen Xing came to the side of Conquer 001 in the audience, and the official photographer quickly followed to ensure that the camera was always locked.

"Conquer 001 is 5 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 1 meters high. It is equipped with a 85-kWh Thor solid-state battery, with a full-load range of 1 kilometers. It is also equipped with Star Flash fast charging technology, which takes only 77 minutes to fully charge from zero."

"Since this was our first time making a pickup truck, we were inexperienced. At the beginning of the design, we surveyed 100 vehicle owners and came to the conclusion that, as a pickup truck, other performance is secondary and durability is the most important."

"therefore!"

"The main feature of Conquer 001 is its durability!"

Chen Xing's words instantly brightened the eyes of countless pickup truck owners, who were looking forward to conquering the durable highlights of 001.

For them, the main purpose of buying a pickup truck is to transport cargo and go off-road.

Because the pickup truck is a three-box design, with the last box being an open-air cargo box, it was designed from the beginning to carry cargo.

But because it is so durable, and has high horsepower and torque, it has gradually been given off-road attributes.

Many people who like off-road driving and small business owners have a special liking for pickup trucks.

Facing the audience's expectations, Chen Xing did not keep them in suspense. He pressed the remote control and said, "In order to reduce the failure rate of the vehicle as much as possible, our designers have redesigned the connectors of important electronic components and strengthened the waterproof, sand-proof and dust-proof performance of the chassis."

"Of course."

"This is not nearly enough."

Having said that, Chen Xing pressed the remote control again, and the original optimization details of the electronic component connection port disappeared, replaced by the optimization of the three major components.

What are the three major items?
Batteries, electronic controls and motors!

"In terms of battery protection, we redesigned the steel structure and adopted a double-layer structure. The chassis was scraped at 90 km/h, but the battery itself was not damaged."

"As for the electronic control, our designers added an independent intelligent control chip, which not only reduces the burden on the main chip, but also manages the energy output more professionally and efficiently to avoid failures caused by overload."

"The last motor, Conquer 001 is equipped with a total of four motors, main and auxiliary. Normally, it is dual-motor output, but when you turn on the roar mode, when all four motors are turned on, its maximum horsepower will reach 1297 horsepower and the maximum torque will reach 1380N·m."

"Wow—"

Exclamations filled the bird's nest again.

The Capi owners who were watching the live broadcast at home were stunned for a few seconds, and could not believe that these parameters were real.

"1297 horses? That's crazy!"

"Does quad-motor mean this pickup truck has four engines?"

"1380 Nm is the best. If I drive this off-road, won't I be the coolest guy in the crowd?"

"Awesome! Really awesome!"

"This is the pickup truck with the most horsepower and Nm that I know of!"

The comments in each live broadcast room have exploded. No one expected that Chen Xing could make the pickup truck to this level.

The reaction of market users at this time says it all.

Some car owners who like pickup trucks are very honest. While Chen Xing was still introducing the car, they had already called the local vehicle management office to inquire about the local vehicle trade-in policy terms.

After explaining the parameters, Chen Xing pressed the remote control. Before he could say anything, the audience who were watching the contents on the screen went wild again.

"No way! Two-year warranty?"

"Mr. Chen is playing such a big game?"

"How confident are you in your skills?"

Listening to the exclamations on the scene, Chen Xing smiled calmly and said, "As you can see, if Conquer 001 encounters any non-human fault within two years, you can enjoy free warranty service."

Just after he finished speaking, he explained: "In simple terms, as long as you drive normally, such as daily hauling, driving around the city or the countryside, and there is no intentional damage due to off-road behavior, we will provide a two-year warranty service."

When Conquest 001 was first designed, it was intended to be durable, and for this purpose many unstable designs and performance features were removed.

2 years without breaking down is still a conservative figure. Hua Ming originally promised Chen Xing that the Conqueror would not break down for at least 5 years unless it was intentionally damaged, which is a direct competitor to Toyota's Hilux.

Of course.

Individual damages cannot be ruled out.

But overall, the number of potential users brought by the warranty and the financial expenditure for individual extreme damages are definitely greater than the latter.

This is similar to mobile phones, which generally provide a six-month warranty.

Will a normal mobile phone break down in half a year?
There are bad ones, but not many.

But just this half-year warranty may attract users to place orders, even if there are only a few hundred, and the maintenance expenses are much higher.

"Mr. Chen is awesome!"

“The car is under warranty, that’s awesome!”

"Other car companies offer ten maintenance services or other things for free, but Mr. Chen offers a two-year warranty, which is really far ahead and the only one in the world!"

“I have to buy it this time!”

When the audience at the Bird's Nest was collectively excited, car company CEOs such as Wang Fu, Masike, and Jiang Ye were completely confused.

The vehicle is under warranty for two years...

Is this justified?

Is there any law?

Is there any humanity in this?
This is a good thing for consumers, but for manufacturers, they have to choose whether to follow this card.

This is a bit like playing Landlord. If the opponent plays an A, you have to consider whether to play a 2 or a joker or a king. Otherwise, he will continue to play cards and may even take you away in one wave.

"Clean up the industry..."

Wang Fu murmured to himself.

On the other side, Luo Hao looked directly at Lei Jun and Ren Guofei, gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Damn, you are worthy of being from the mobile phone industry. You even used the warranty routine."

Mobile phone warranty is not new. Car warranty is unheard of.

"It seems that Conquest 001 is really something. I will get one later." Zhou Hongwei also took the opportunity to express his opinion.

"How does the saying go? Confidence is the pinnacle. This is the embodiment of confidence." Baidu CEO Li Yanhong said with a smile.

"really."

"I see it."

The other CEOs nodded.

If you are not confident in your own products, you certainly won't dare to ask for warranty.

But if you ask for warranty, it means that Chen Xing is absolutely confident in conquering 001, at least within two years.

Ren Guofei listened to the conversations of other CEOs and responded to them: "Making money is secondary, market coverage is the most important."

"You're right."

Rebus agreed.

Offering low prices or promising discounts to grab market share is not uncommon in the mobile phone industry.

But in the automotive industry, marketing and competition seem to be relatively primitive.

Perhaps it is because the days of making money without doing anything are too comfortable, and automobile manufacturers have never experienced internal fighting. Now that Longxing Heavy Industry has come in to disrupt the situation, it will just stimulate the potential of friendly competitors.

It is a consensus that efficiency can only be achieved if there is competition.

Why do people who resign from the system often complain online that after working in the system for a period of time, they feel like they are becoming "useless"?
A big reason is the lack of competition.

If you pass the exam, you will have a stable job.

Without competition there is no motivation.

It is said that high school students are at the peak of theoretical knowledge reserves. The biggest reason why they can reserve so much knowledge is because they have to go through the baptism of the college entrance examination.

What is the college entrance examination?
Competition among tens of millions of students!

Chen Xing, Lei Jun and Ren Guofei have also discussed privately that they not only want to disrupt the global auto industry, but also put appropriate pressure on domestic auto companies and not let them make money without doing anything.

Want to make money?
you can!

Technology is also available to you.

But you need to compete with your own advantages under the existing conditions.

……

Every time Chen Xing explained a car, Otaki Kazuki and Kamioka Hideki, who were far away on the island, felt more depressed.

This is not just about crossing the river and destroying the bridge, but about cutting off the source of the trouble!

If the island country's top leaders and car companies were given the choice again, they would definitely not form a joint venture with Dragon country's car companies for the sake of profit and allow the latter to master basic car manufacturing technology.

However, for Hideki Kamioka, what he regrets most now is that he did not conduct business negotiations with Chen Xing in time.

If the island country had abandoned the Toyota Group and reached a cooperation with the Longxing Group, it could now have a share of the new energy field, or at least would not be in the current predicament.

Just when the senior executives of the island country and the chairman of the car company were feeling heavy-hearted, Iwata Tomoo, the vice chairman of Mitsubishi Group, raised a question: "Can the shabby basic power facilities in the Middle East and Africa really meet the charging needs of new energy vehicles?"

"!!!"

"!!!"

The moment the words fell, the Mitsubishi board of directors was collectively stunned.

"Yes, in such chaotic regions as Africa and the Middle East, there are not only constant wars, but also terrible power facilities. New energy vehicles are too limited. No matter how awesome the parameters of Longxing Heavy Industry's vehicles are, they can't threaten our base!"

"Yes, that's the truth!"

“In the Middle East, fuel vehicles are king!”

"That means we don't have to worry about Chen Xing further squeezing the market. Thank God, this is really good news."

The directors of Mitsubishi Group breathed a sigh of relief and could finally feel a little more at ease.

however!
Will Chen Xing do useless work?

impossible!

When Wang Shan went to Longke Institute to discuss the technical support of Beidou navigation, he had a phone discussion with Chen Xing about taking advantage of the favorable trend of new energy vehicles to complete the global construction of power facilities.

Simply put, countries with poor power infrastructure can invest and entrust the State Grid Corporation of China to build power facilities.

For example, in Saudi Arabia, Longguo has already begun planning the construction of power infrastructure, and the State Grid Corporation of China has announced that any attack on Longguo’s overseas infrastructure will be regarded as a provocation against Longguo.

If it were in the past, most countries and organizations might have turned a blind eye.

but now!
Saudi Arabia has the Dragon Kingdom's heavily armored combined brigade.

It is precisely because of the presence of the heavily armored combined brigade that Saudi Arabia’s safety factor has skyrocketed in the past year.

In addition to Saudi Arabia, countries such as Iran, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Laos and Cambodia are negotiating to relax electricity control and supply electricity from the national power grid of Dragon Country.

It is worth mentioning that the Ancient Elephant Kingdom also had the intention, but considering the serious problem of electricity theft in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, its request was not agreed to.

Longguo Electric Power provides global supply and provides free after-sales maintenance, which has attracted many countries in the Middle East and Africa.

As for why global electricity supply is needed, one is to anchor the Dragon Country's currency, and the other is that controlled nuclear fusion is progressing smoothly, and Dragon Country has to win over BRICS members in advance.

To put it bluntly, it is about rebuilding a new world order around electricity.

……

"The last model, the mini model, is also often called the old man's car."

Chen Xing opened the car door so that the photographer could take a more detailed picture.

"As for Lao Tou Le, it was not actually within our consideration range at the beginning, because the technical content is not high and there is not much challenge."

"But."

Chen Xing changed the subject and said helplessly, "I can't help but have people send me private messages on Weibo every day, asking for Lao Tou Le."

"No."

"And by the way, I made a music for old men."

As soon as the words fell, bursts of laughter were heard from the Bird's Nest Stadium, and the number of comments in the live broadcast room also increased sharply.

"Hahaha, who on earth is so obsessed with Lao Tou Le?"

"Listening to Mr. Chen's story, it feels like the old man is enjoying the leftovers, like they were a bonus!"

"Lao Tou Le really doesn't require much technical skills. Just give me a three-wheeled motorcycle and I can modify one for you."

"The old man Le car owner passed by."

While people were discussing it online and offline, Chen Xing suddenly changed the subject and continued, "But to be honest, after I actually drove it and experienced it, I found that the Lao Tou Le is indeed very suitable for urban transportation."

You can only know whether a car is good to drive by trying it yourself.

The main reason why Laotoule is so popular all over the country is because it is simple to operate and very easy to use.

Chen Xing moved his feet and returned to the center of the podium. He then glanced at the screen behind him and pressed the remote control, saying, "That's all about the vehicle configurations and parameters. Now we will announce the Dragon Country Guide Price for Conquer 001, Pilot 002, Open 001, Climb 001 and Verna 001."
