Zhou Minhui said: "That's not the case. It's mainly because I don't see you often."
This statement was already quite explicit, and Shen Dong suddenly didn't know what to say.
The wedding banquet that night was extremely lively.
After the four couples had an hour-long wedding ceremony, many celebrities came on stage to sing and bless them.
Shen Dong didn't know how much wine he had drunk. For the first time since he traveled through time, he felt drunk.
Seeing that something was not right, Qiuti immediately changed the water for him.
Since the brothers were already too drunk, there was no bridal chamber prank after the wedding banquet, which made everyone feel very regretful.
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Dong received a call from Xiao Ma Ge.
"Brother Dong, our first Tengfei car has rolled off the assembly line." Xiao Ma's voice was a little excited.
Shen Dong's eyes lit up and he asked, "How is the test data?"
Xiao Ma said: "All data are 30% better than those best-selling cars in Europe and the United States. The most amazing thing is the engine. The car engines on the market are not comparable to our Tengfei car engines. I bet that as long as we release the engine, car manufacturers all over the world will have to buy from us."
Shen Dong was very happy and asked, "Have you driven it before?"
Xiao Ma said: "I have driven it, and it is comfortable."
Shen Dong said: "Okay, I'll go to Pengcheng now."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Dong immediately asked Jimmy to prepare the car.
Jimmy was also very excited when he learned that the first car of Tengfei Automobile Factory had rolled off the assembly line.
He was well aware of Shen Dong's emphasis on Tengfei Automobile. He would go to Pengcheng almost every month to check on the progress, and even went so far as to buy land in various first- and second-tier cities in advance to build automobile factories.
The production line has already entered the factory before the car is even built.
Because of this incident, Shen Dong was often laughed at by the media and his peers.
Now, the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is visible.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Dong arrived at the Tengfei Automobile Factory.
In the workshop, he saw at a glance a brand new black Tengfei sedan sitting there quietly.
Brother Xiao Ma pointed at the black car and said proudly, "Brother Dong, Jimmy, do you think he's handsome?"
Jimmy looked at it carefully, nodded, and said, "This is the most handsome car I have ever seen. Even a Rolls-Royce is not as beautiful as it."
Shen Dong waved his hands and said, "That's exaggerated. The cheapest Rolls-Royce costs five million, while a Tengfei car is only a few hundred thousand. If the appearance of a Rolls-Royce cannot even compare to that of a Tengfei car, then it's really underestimating it."
Xiao Ma said, "Brother Dong, we already have all the upstream and downstream industrial chains of Tengfei Automobile, and the automobile production line is also in place. Now as long as you give the order, we can start working at full speed."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Let me try it first."
After getting into the car, Shen Dong drove the car in the test area.
After turning dozens of circles, the car finally stopped.
Xiao Ma asked: "Brother Dong, how do you feel?"
Shen Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "Very good. Xiao Ma, how many can we produce in a month?"
Brother Ma thought for a moment and said, "In the first month, we need to integrate resources, and we can produce at most 10,000 vehicles. In the second month, we can produce about 30,000 vehicles."
Shen Dong said: "Then start production. Remember, the quality of the car must be guaranteed. I don't want to be criticized by customers as soon as the car is launched."
Xiao Ma nodded and said, "I understand."
Shen Dong said: "Let's go, drive the Tengfei car to Pengcheng City Government."
Jimmy and Little Mago said in unison, "Yes."
Chapter 665, Chu Xinghua's Excitement
On the way, Shen Dong called Chu Xinghua's secretary.
Chu Xinghua was in a meeting. When he learned that the call was from Shen Dong, he immediately walked out of the office and answered the call.
"Mr. Shen, do you have any instructions?"
"Comrade Lao Chu, are you busy?"
"That depends on what your matter is. If it's very important, no matter how busy I am, I will make time to serve you, the richest man in the world."
“Is the matter of Tengfei Automobile important?”
"of course."
"I am now driving the first Tengfei car produced by Tengfei Automobile Company to your city government."
"Really?"
Chu Xinghua was surprised and delighted.
Tengfei Automobile Company is the first domestic automobile company to settle in Shenzhen.
According to the information Shen Dong had given him before, once Tengfei Automobile goes public, it is very likely to break the global market structure dominated by three major Japanese, European and American automobile companies.
The most important thing is that Tengfei Automobile uses completely its own technology.
If it can really occupy a place in the world automobile market, it will have great strategic significance for Pengcheng, Guangdong Province and even the entire Xia Kingdom.
Not to mention other things, the upstream and downstream factories alone can create jobs for hundreds of thousands of people.
Chu Xinghua originally thought that it would take Shen Dong at least three years to produce the first car, but he never expected that he would be so fast.
"Old Chu, I'll be there in ten minutes. If you're all right, go downstairs and meet me."
"No problem. I'll be down there waiting."
Back in the conference room, Chu Xinghua said with a happy face: "I have good news for you all. The Tengfei car manufactured by Tengfei Automobile Company will soon arrive at our municipal government. This is the first domestically produced car in the country with complete independent property rights, and all the technologies used come from the Tengfei Automobile R&D Department. If you have nothing else to do, come with me to see the elegance of this domestically produced car."
Deputy Mayor Chen Ke said happily: "Great. Mayor Chu, let's go downstairs quickly."
"Okay, let's go."
Chu Xinghua took the lead and came downstairs with more than a dozen Pengcheng officials.
Five minutes later, a brand new black car appeared in front of everyone.
"Is this the Tengfei car? It's so beautiful."
“It feels much better looking than our city government’s car.”
"Amazing, so amazing."
Looking at the Tengfei car in front of them, a group of officials couldn't help but express their admiration.
Shen Dong opened the car door, got out of the car, and laughed: "Mayor Chu, leaders, our Tengfei car is pretty good, right?"
Chu Xinghua said: "From the appearance alone, it is almost better than the cars imported from abroad. But when it comes to cars, it's performance that counts."
Shen Dong said confidently: "The performance is also a complete victory. Mayor Chu, I can tell you clearly now that Tengfei Automobile's engine technology and transmission technology are already the best in the world, surpassing any other automobile company in the world. The chassis technology is a little worse, but it is also on the same level as them, at least not worse than those century-old automobile companies."
Chu Xinghua asked: "Can I go up and try?"
Shen Dong made a gesture of invitation and said, "Of course."
Chu Xinghua got into the driver's seat, started the car carefully, drove around the yard, and then drove directly out of the city government.
It was a full fifteen minutes before Chu Xinghua came back.
After he got off the car, he said excitedly: "This Tengfei car is amazing. It is much better and more comfortable than the car used by our municipal government. Lao Chen, you take everyone to try it out."
Deputy Mayor Chen Ke had already been eager to try it out, and said, "Okay."
After you sing, I will appear!
Officials from the Pengcheng Municipal Government tried it for more than an hour before stopping, feeling unsatisfied.
At this time, Shen Dong, Chu Xinghua and Chen Ke were already chatting in the conference room.
"Mr. Shen, what are you going to do with such a nice car?" Chu Xinghua asked with a smile.
Chen Ke, who was standing next to him, didn't expect Chu Xinghua to call Shen Dong like that, and immediately realized that the relationship between the two was not simple.
Shen Dong glanced at Chen Ke, and Chu Xinghua said, "Deputy Mayor Chen will most likely take over my position in half a year."
Shen Dong said, "Then I'll just talk to Mayor Chen, and you can leave now."
Chu Xinghua laughed and scolded: "As the saying goes, when a person leaves, the tea gets cold. I haven't even left yet, but the tea has already gotten cold. Mr. Shen, don't you think this is a little inappropriate?"
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "It's a little inappropriate. Then you can stay here and listen."
Chu Xinghua said: "Stop talking nonsense. Tell me, when will Tengfei Automobile be listed?"
Shen Dong said: "Three months later."
Chu Xinghua asked: "Why three months later?"
Shen Dong said: "First, we need to advertise. Second, the production of Tengfei Automobile is too small, and the maximum can reach 4 vehicles per month. Third, the S stores in major inland cities have not been built yet. All these will take time."
Chen Ke asked in confusion: "Mr. Shen, what is a 4S store?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "A 4S store is a car sales and service store that integrates sales, after-sales service, and spare parts supply. It has long been popular in the foreign car market."
Chen Ke said: "In this case, your costs will probably be very high."
Shen Dong said: "If we want Tengfei Automobile to gain a firm foothold in the global market, in addition to performance and appearance, after-sales service is more important. As long as the service is good, Tengfei Automobile's reputation will be established. With a good reputation, sales will definitely not be bad."
Chu Xinghua asked: "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
Shen Dong held up three fingers and said, "Three hundred and fifty thousand."
Chu Xinghua and Chen Ke exclaimed at the same time, "This is too expensive."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "A Santana costs more than 200,000 yuan. The appearance, quality and performance of our Tengfei car are much better than Santana. Why can't it be 350,000 yuan?"
"Old Chu, Mayor Chen, our Tengfei Automobile is positioned as a high-end car. If it is only sold for a few hundred thousand, it would be a waste of resources."
Chu Xinghua took a deep breath and said, "You capitalists are really greedy. Tell me the truth, how much money can you make from a car?"
Shen Dong spread his hands and said, "I'm not sure, but it should be no less than 100,000."
Chu Xinghua sneered, "It's at least 200,000, right?"
Shen Dong said, "Even if it's 200,000, I won't make any money. Lao Chu, you have to know that the automotive industry is the same as the technology industry. If you want to win in the market, you must work hard on research and development. Next year, my research and development funds at Tengfei Auto will be 10 billion. You can calculate how many cars I need to sell to make 10 billion."
Chu Xinghua said: "I calculated it. One hundred thousand vehicles is equivalent to three months of production."
Shen Dong said unhappily, "Production is production, the key is whether we can sell it. Besides, even if I can make 4 yuan from a car, it won't all be mine. Do the R&D staff need money? Do the employees in the manufacturing plant need money? Do the car sales need money? Does the S store rent need money? We have calculated that in order to break even, we have to sell at least cars a year."
Chu Xinghua was skeptical and asked, "Is it true?"
Shen Dong said: "I lied to you and got candy."
Chapter 666 Friendly Communication
In fact, the manufacturing cost of a Tengfei car is only about 70,000 yuan. Taking into account R&D costs, labor costs and various taxes, it is at most around 120,000 yuan.
Shen Dong sold it for 350,000, which was equivalent to a huge profit of 230,000.
As long as it can sell 500,000 vehicles a year, Tengfei Automobile Company's profit will reach more than 100 billion, which can be said to be a huge profit among huge profits.
However, Shen Dong is very clear that in a few years, the import tariffs on automobiles will be greatly reduced, and the prices will also be greatly reduced accordingly.
By then, if you can make 30,000 to 50,000 yuan from a car, it would be considered quite good.
Chu Xinghua said, "We have only three cars in the Pengcheng Municipal Government, which have been used for almost ten years. They can be described as old and worn out. Mr. Shen, if you want us to help you advertise, how about donating a few Tengfei cars to us?"
Shen Dong was amused and said to Chen Ke, "Deputy Mayor Chen, you heard everything just now, right? Is Mayor Chu's behavior considered blatant solicitation of bribes?"
Chen Ke said: "This is not called blatant bribery, it should be regarded as the advertising fee you give us."
"Hahaha"
Chu Xinghua smiled and said, "Old Chen, that's a good point. Mr. Shen, don't be so petty."
Shen Dong rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry. In two weeks, I will donate five Tengfei cars to your city government and ten Tengfei cars to the Guangdong provincial government. I have only one request, these fifteen cars must run day and night, and run as much as possible in the first two months. If there is a problem, tell us immediately and we will correct it immediately."
Chen Ke said: "You are using us as testers for Tengfei Automobile."
Shen Dong asked: "Then are you willing to be the test subject?"
