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

Chapter 95 Whoever says it first is the original author!!
Over time.

The more questions she asked, the more uneasy Li Yufei felt.

Something's not right—

...

I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

Anyway, I just felt really uncomfortable.

When she faced Xu Yi, she felt that he was completely slippery and untrustworthy.

To say he got a perfect score? Not really.

If this were broadcast in many places, people would definitely laugh at it.

As an entrepreneur, how could he so openly admit that his company manufactures low-end products? And even publicly admit that his company has insufficient R&D funding?
That's incredibly shameless.

one person--

Someone so young who has founded a company and achieved such success.

Facing the CCTV camera.

How can he have absolutely no desire to show off?

Xu Yi's answers are always filled with simple and unpretentious logic.

It is also extremely mindless and violent.

It made it difficult for her to use her language skills to type out more information.

Time was ticking away, second by second.

Li Yufei was getting impatient.

So I remembered that I had looked up information about this company before coming here.

Strictly speaking, Xingchen Automotive is not just a new energy vehicle manufacturing company; it also has some other business operations.

She definitely wouldn't have asked about this kind of business before.

But now, in order to increase the exposure and appeal of this episode, she has secretly made up her mind.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for your answers above. As the program is nearing its end, I would like to ask one more question. Could you please answer it directly?" Li Yufei asked, pursing her lips.

“Of course, no problem.” Xu Yi nodded.

...

"It is said that before Xingchen Motors engaged in the automobile manufacturing industry, it had other businesses, namely producing low-speed four-wheeled vehicles, commonly known as 'old man's cars,' which became Xingchen Motors' first pot of gold..."

However, Mr. Xu, there are also some people in society who believe that "elderly-friendly" vehicles are a marginal product and shouldn't be on the road. As the original manufacturer, what is your opinion on this?

This interview remark was quite artistic from the start.

It just so happens to be at a very ambiguous point.

It is not so sharp, but it is full of space for criticism and debate.

...

Xu Yi fell into thought.

Looking at the eager eyes of the CCTV host.

He realized that he wouldn't give up easily today unless he created some hype and highlights.

If it's an entrepreneur who makes "outrageous remarks" from the start, CCTV would be more than happy to let them have their say.

But someone like him is not so good.

At least from the perspective of the production team and the host, it's not a good idea.

CCTV during this period had a much more unrestrained style.

Let's not even talk about trivial topics like "old people's entertainment".

There have been even more incisive topics and viewpoints.

then.

He thought for a moment, then spoke:

"Yes... Compared to cars, the four-wheeled vehicle for the elderly is definitely not a convenient means of transportation on the road. Even our factory, which used to produce four-wheeled vehicles, was a marginal manufacturer. We only started making four-wheeled vehicles because we had no other choice..."

However, during the manufacturing process, I found that there was nothing wrong with it.

Because there is a group of people in society who need four-wheeled electric vehicles for the elderly, or they buy them out of necessity or due to limited resources.

Society often looks down on this and has an instinctive rejection of it.

But we at Xingchen Automotive are always very grateful to these consumers. It is because of these people that we have the opportunity to enter the automotive industry.

"And I also have a message for everyone here..."

...

"What I want to say is—being born into humble circumstances is not a disgrace; a true man is one who can bend and stretch!"

"Today's unknowns may one day become famous, but no one can say for sure... A person may have many cars in their life, but often the first car is unique and unforgettable."

Just like our Xingchen Motors, even if we manufacture many cars in the future, we will not deny that this was the first car that officially marked our entry into the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry.

A thought-provoking statement.

Li Yufei, the host, was slightly shocked!
I never expected Xu Yi to answer like that.

It has a slightly chuunibyou (delusional) vibe.

But for some reason, it has a strange, infectious quality.

It draws you in without you even realizing it!
……

"Hello, host. I'd also like to say something here."

Yu Nian, who was listening in, couldn't sit still any longer and couldn't help but join in the conversation.

“During a previous R&D meeting, General Manager Xu casually mentioned a slogan that has been circulating internally ever since. I don’t know if I should say it out loud…”

Li Yufei nodded.

Yu Nian took a deep breath:

"At that time, President Xu said, 'Whatever the people need, Xingchen will build that car!'"
We don't know if he was joking or just saying it casually.

"But in the context of today's program, I think it's quite fitting!"

……

The words fell.

The entire production crew looked slightly taken aback!
This slogan—it's very profound!
However, it seemed to serve a perfect purpose in connecting with what Xu Yi had just said.

"We at Xingchen will build whatever the people need... This is the first time I've ever heard of such a car manufacturing philosophy."

Li Yufei pondered those words for a moment, then froze on the spot.

Compared to what I just said.

This slogan is no longer measured by numbers, but by pure mechanism!
And it happened right in front of their CCTV cameras.

Compared to the "statements" of other entrepreneurs, Xingchen Automotive is a breath of fresh air.

……

"Mr. Xu, thank you very much for your comments during this interview program."

Li Yufei put down the microphone and smiled.

finally.

The interview ended in a relaxed manner.

After the CCTV program crew left.

...

"Mr. Xu... how did I perform just now? Was it genuine enough?"

Yu Nian winked slightly.

"Very good...we've managed to get our slogan out there."

Xu Yi nodded.

Plan pass——

originally.

He didn't intend to promote it this way.

But when I heard that the CCTV program crew was visiting, it suddenly came to mind.

Free exposure? Why not take it?

Getting CCTV to run an advertisement is a very prestigious thing!

Moreover, this slogan... is very much in line with their current products and situation at Xingchen Motors.

It was originally supposed to be Wuling Motors' slogan.

But according to his recollection, Wuling Motors only launched this slogan after officially releasing the Wuling Mini and after a period of market operation.

He even looked it up online.

The result showed that there was none.

Similar phrases exist online, but no car company has ever used them in their advertising.

That's fine.

I felt absolutely no psychological burden.

Perhaps Wuling hasn't even come up with this slogan yet!

No matter——

Whoever says it first is the original creator!
