From knock-off old-man's electric vehicles to industrial giant

Chapter 252 Far Ahead... Who's Opposing?

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone could taste the flavor.

End-to-end technical solutions...

Isn't this just the "standard licensing + core component procurement" model?

It's clear who benefits and who has management rights.

Heh~~
Do they really think they're in charge?!

But then again.

The supercharging protocol shared by Xingchen Automotive is indeed convincing.

Without "brand discrimination," it would be much more convenient for their vehicles to charge at Xingchen Supercharger stations.

Unlike other purchased components, developing closed systems and proprietary protocols for charging piles is a disadvantageous business. Unless a company is large enough, it will definitely want its vehicles to be as compatible as possible with the charging piles on the market.

Some people have already begun to think about it and weigh the pros and cons.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think?" Zeng Yuqun asked again.

Wang Chuanfu was still wavering when this question abruptly interrupted his train of thought.

Why do you keep asking me what I think?

Zeng Yuqun: "Well, Ningde doesn't manufacture cars after all!!"

Wang Chuanfu pondered for only a few seconds.

The conclusion has been reached.

"Joining... is not out of the question, but BYD will still develop its own supercharging protocol."

The logic behind this is very simple.

Since Xingchen is so open, it's entirely possible to include a few of their vehicles in the other party's protocol, which would increase compatibility and charging competitiveness.

The self-developed supercharging protocol is still based on the principle of not putting all eggs in one basket.

Once their own supercharging protocol and charging pile network are advanced and large enough, they can kick Starstar aside.

This is a win-win solution.

This is what BYD thinks.

Many OEMs present shared this view.

After all, Starry Sky's lead in this area is only temporary.

Since we're in the lead, it's fine to use the opponent's standards as well.

Once we catch up, we can establish our own standards.

Domestic car manufacturers are best at imitating their competitors' tracks, bringing their products to the same level, and then using their rich experience in this competitive process to drive their competitors out of the game.

what?
You're saying we can't catch up?

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!!
...

The atmosphere at the scene was harmonious.

The representatives from various brands smiled and engaged in positive and friendly exchanges regarding the development of China's new energy industry.

……

the other side.

Toyota's situation has become quite dire.

An hour after Glaucus released Denso's report on fuel pump defects, The Wall Street Journal published its first article pointing the finger at Toyota regarding the fuel pump problem.

It's important to know that the United States is a huge market for Japanese cars, with at least 200,000 vehicles involved. This caused intense fluctuations in the consumer market, and the stock prices of Denso and Toyota began to fall accordingly!
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) has announced that it will launch an emergency investigation!

The old-fashioned yogurt was completely unaware of this.

Her account has been very popular recently, and she's been busy launching commercial campaigns.

The topic of "refrigerators, color TVs, and large sofas are useless" and "Japanese cars are unbeatable in their class" quickly gained 50,000 followers.

Black fans are also fans!
What's more, many of these people aren't even haters.

After multiple rounds of refinement in terms of discourse and ideology, the "old yogurt" has gained a lot of fans of Japanese cars, as well as novice fans who want to buy cars.

These... are all precious assets!

With a large number of fans, the recent videos have also received a lot of views.

He can easily persuade a large number of people to buy or choose a car simply by opening his mouth.

This is the power of self-media!
The manufacturer also recognized this and invited Lao Yogurt to participate in the promotional activities of filming the offline store display vehicle.

"The car next to me today is a Toyota Highlander. I can tell you openly that this is a commercial project video shoot. I was invited by the brand to promote this car."

"But don't think that commercial orders are garbage or useless promotion... because even the best wine needs advertising, and even the best products need promotion."

"You can think about why I don't recommend other brands, why I don't recommend the currently popular new energy vehicles, and why I don't recommend a few domestic brands, even though they offered me very high prices."

"Because I am a person of principle, as I have said before, Toyota is the most reliable brand in the world. So even when I am taking on commercial orders, I will recommend Toyota. You can drive a car with peace of mind, and I am not afraid that you will talk behind my back if there are any problems later."

The brand paid a high price for dual promotion through live streaming and video.

The old-fashioned yogurt also enabled live streaming permissions while recording the video.

It outputs to the camera.

Her logic is bizarre.

But its strength lies in its concise language and clear tone.

"Take this Highlander for example. It has a 2.0T turbocharged engine, 220 horsepower, and a 6-speed automatic transmission. It's the benchmark for family 7-seater SUVs. For several years, it had no direct competitors in the market, and its resale value exceeds 80% within three years..."

"You should know that this car used to require an extra charge to get it, because the consumer market was so optimistic that the manufacturer couldn't keep up with the demand."

"Now the price of picking up a car at the store has dropped a lot, and some stores don't even charge extra. This is also due to the strong supply chain of Japanese brands. Their production capacity is guaranteed all over the world, and their channel management is very strict. So as soon as the production capacity comes up, they release a lot of goodwill to the consumer market. If you don't seize the opportunity, you might lose money when the price goes up after the New Year."

"If your budget is really tight, you can also consider the Fit, which is the best commuter car under 500,000 yuan."

The old-fashioned yogurt is delivering its message with a powerful and resounding voice.

Despite their professionalism, car reviewers can still turn black into white and white into black.

……

"support!!"

"The Highlander's resale value is unbeatable!!"

"I didn't know much about cars before, but after reading about Japanese cars, I realized that Japanese cars are the most suitable and reliable for ordinary people."

Comments and bullet screen messages flooded in.

But some people couldn't stand it.

It's truly an eyesore.

"No, sis... I heard online that the Highlander isn't being sold at a premium anymore, apparently because it was driven down by the Star C5 L7. How come you're saying the manufacturer is being incredibly generous? The Highlander has been selling at a premium for years, so why is production capacity suddenly increased this year during the peak sales season? That doesn't make sense, does it?"

"That's right, this woman's views are very distorted."

……

There were also many people watching the spectacle in the live stream.

Because these two cars have been getting a lot of traffic lately.

And there are many domestic households, who have a strong desire to speak on this matter.

Originally, Lao Yogurt did not reply to live stream comments.

But I saw someone mention the words "Starry Sky L7".

She immediately remembered her duties, and a sneer curled at the corner of her mouth:
"The Xingchen L7 is not worthy of being compared with the Highlander. No matter how many features it has, it is still a new energy vehicle, but it is a new energy vehicle with an engine installed. It is neither fish nor fowl, neither oil nor electricity."

"Don't you know what level domestically produced engines are at?"

"Oh right, I remember Xingchen Motors, the car company, they always liked to shout that slogan at their press conferences... something like 'far ahead' again."

"If I were to say that Toyota's engines are far ahead of the competition, would anyone disagree?"
