When the island country's top executives and car company chairmen are in despair, world-renowned car companies such as BMW Group, Ford Group, and Mercedes-Benz Group in Europe and the United States have already felt the same way. All members of the board of directors have remained silent and confused.
The new energy reshuffle came so fast that they had no way to deal with it.
The new energy concept was proposed at the beginning of the year, and a "family portrait" was created for you at the end of the year. This speed is comparable to The Flash.
In Washington, D.C., Renato Marotta directly sounded the alarm to all congressmen and sent a mass message to convene an emergency meeting.
You know, whether it is the United States, Germany, Japan or South Korea, the automobile industry is an important support for their domestic economies.
The industrially powerful countries look sad, while the industrially weak countries look happy.
Why do you say this?
Industrially powerful countries are afraid of being disrupted.
Industrially weak countries cannot manufacture cars in the first place and can only rely on imports. How will the world structure change and what does it have to do with them?
This is just like when consumers buy goods. As long as your company does not involve issues of principle or quality, who cares whether your boss will mess with the relationship or there will be some family strife. People only focus on the product itself.
However, some people are also wondering, can new energy vehicles really sell well in the Middle East and Africa?
You know, gasoline prices are very cheap in the Middle East and Africa, which are also the biggest battlefields for fuel vehicles.
……
The imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
Bird's Nest Stadium.
As the new energy "family portrait" came to a halt, Chen Xing also introduced it vigorously: "As you can see, in addition to flying cars, we will also sell pickup trucks, coupes, heavy trucks, SUVs and mini models at the same time." < br>
"Let's talk about our pickup truck first."
Chen Xing came to the side of Conquest 001 in the audience, and the official photographer quickly followed to ensure that the camera was always locked.
"Conquest 001 is 5.3 meters long, 1.85 meters wide, and 1.77 meters high. It is equipped with a 200-kilowatt-hour Thor solid-state battery, with a full-load endurance of 1,900 kilometers. It is also equipped with Star Flash fast charging technology. It only takes just 17 minutes.”
"Since this is our first time building a pickup truck, we lack a lot of experience. At the beginning of the design, we conducted a survey with 100 riders and came to the conclusion that as a pickup truck, other performance is secondary and the most important thing. It’s built to last.”
"Therefore!"
“Conquest 001’s main focus is durability!”
Chen Xing's words instantly brightened the eyes of countless pickup truck owners, looking forward to conquering the shining point of 001 Durable Manufacturing.
For them, the main purpose of buying a pickup truck is to transport cargo and cross-country.
Because the pickup truck has a three-car design, and the last car is an open-air cargo box, it was originally designed to carry cargo.
But because it is so durable and has high horsepower and torque, it has gradually been given off-road attributes.
Many owners who like off-roading and run small businesses have a soft spot for pickup trucks.
Facing the audience's expectations, Chen Xing did not give up, pressed the remote control and said: "In order to reduce the vehicle failure rate as much as possible, our designers have redesigned the connection ports of important electronic components, and strengthened the waterproof and waterproof properties of the chassis. Sandproof and dustproof performance. ”
"Of course."
"This is not enough."
Having said this, Chen Xing pressed the remote control again, and the original optimized detail screen of the electronic component connection interface disappeared, replaced by the optimization of the three major components.
What are the three big items?
Batteries, electronic controls and motors!
"In terms of battery protection, we redesigned the steel structure outer body and adopted a double-layer structure. It was measured that the chassis was scratched at 90 kilometers per hour without damaging the battery body."
"As for electronic control, our designers have added an independent intelligent control chip, which can not only reduce the burden on the main chip, but also manage energy output more professionally and efficiently to avoid failures due to overload."< br>
"The last motor, Conquer 001 is equipped with four main and auxiliary motors. Normally, it has dual motor output, but when you turn on the roar mode and all four motors are turned on, its maximum horsepower will reach 1,297 horses and its maximum torque will also reach 1380N·m.”
"Wow——"
Exclamations once again filled the bird's nest.
The Kapi owners who were watching the live broadcast at home were stunned for a few seconds, unable to imagine that these parameters were real.
"1297 horses? Is this crazy!"
"Does four motors mean that this pickup truck has four engines?"
"1,380 Nm is the king, okay? If I drive this off-road, will I be the most handsome guy in the crowd?"
"Awesome! Really awesome!"
"This is the pickup truck with the highest horsepower and the largest NM that I know of!"
The barrage in various live broadcast rooms has exploded. No one expected that Chen Xing could actually achieve this level of pickup.
The reaction of market users at this time has explained everything.
Some car owners who like pickup trucks are very honest. While Chen Xing was still introducing them, they had already called the local vehicle management office to inquire about the local vehicle trade-in policy.
After explaining the parameters, Chen Xing pressed the remote control. Before he could speak, the audience who witnessed the content on the screen exploded again.
"No! Two-year warranty?"
"Mr. Chen is so serious about it?"
"How confident are you in your own skills?"
Listening to the exclamations at the scene, Chen Xing smiled calmly and said: "As you can see, if any non-human fault occurs on Conquest 001 within two years, you can enjoy free warranty service."
Just after he finished speaking, he explained: "To put it simply, as long as you drive normally, such as daily transportation of goods, running in urban or rural areas, and there is no intentional damage due to off-road behavior, we will provide a 2-year warranty service."< br>
From the beginning of the design of Conquer 001, we went for durability. For this reason, we also cut off many unstable designs and performances.
Two years is still a conservative figure. Hua Ming promised Chen Xing that the Conqueror would not break down for at least five years without intentional damage, directly competing with Toyota's Hilux.
Of course.
Damage in individual cases cannot be ruled out.
But overall, the number of potential users brought by the warranty, as well as the financial expenditure of individual extreme damages, the former is definitely greater than the latter.
This is similar to mobile phones, which generally provide half-year warranty service.
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 it is only a few hundred units, the maintenance expenses will be much larger.
“Mr. Chen is awesome!”
“The car comes with a warranty, it’s really awesome!”
"Other car companies provide ten maintenance services or other things. Mr. Chen provides a two-year warranty. He is really far ahead and the only one in the world!"
“I have to buy it this time!”
While the Bird's Nest audience was collectively excited, car company CEOs such as Wang Fu, Masik, and Jiang Ye were completely in disarray.
The vehicle has a two-year warranty…
Is this justified?
Is there any law?
Is there any trace of humanity left in this?
For consumers, this is a good thing, but for manufacturers, it is a choice whether to follow this card or not.
This is a bit similar to Landlord. The opponent plays an Ace, and you have to consider whether to play a 2 or a king. Otherwise, they can continue to play cards, and they may even take you away in one wave.
"Rectify the industry..."
Wang Fu murmured to himself.
Luo Hao, who was on the other side, looked directly at Rebus and Ren Guofei, raised his thumbs and exclaimed: "Damn it, you are worthy of being born in mobile phones, and you have used all the warranty routines."
I am no stranger to mobile phone warranties. Car warranty, that's unheard of.
"It seems that Conquest 001 is really something. I will build one later." Zhou Hongwei also expressed his opinion.
"As the saying goes, self-confidence is the peak, and this is the embodiment of self-confidence." Baidu CEO Li Yanhong said with a smile.
"Indeed."
"I see it."
The other bosses nodded.
If you are not confident in your own products, you will definitely not dare to call for warranty.
But if you call 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 only secondary, market coverage is the most important."
"You're right."
Rebus echoed.
Low prices or promised discounts to grab market share are commonplace in the mobile phone industry.
But in the automotive world, marketing and competition seem to be relatively primitive.
Perhaps it’s because the days of just lying around and making money are too comfortable. Automobile manufacturers have never experienced infighting. Now that Longxing Heavy Industry has come in to disrupt the situation, it can just stimulate the potential of its friends.
It is a consensus that only competition can lead to efficiency.
Why do people who have resigned from the system often complain online that after entering the system for a while, they feel like they are becoming "waste"?
The big reason is that there is no competition.
Getting into the exam is an iron rice bowl.
Without competition, there is no motivation.
It is said that senior high school students are the pinnacle of theoretical knowledge accumulation. The biggest reason why they can accumulate 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, Rebus and Ren Guofei also discussed in private that they not only wanted to confuse the world's car companies, but also put appropriate pressure on domestic car companies and could no longer let them make money lying around.
Want to make money?
Can!
Technology is also provided 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 Ueoka Hideki, who were far away in the island country, felt heavier.
This is no longer about burning bridges, but drawing fuel from under the cauldron!
If the top management of the island country and car companies are given the choice again, they will definitely not jointly build cars with the dragon country car companies for the sake of profit and let the latter master the preliminary car manufacturing technology.
But for Hideki Ueoka, what he regrets most now is that he did not enter into business negotiations with Chen Xing in time.
If it had abandoned the Toyota Group and reached a cooperation with the Longxing Group, the island country could now get a share of the new energy field, at least it would not be in the current predicament.
Just when the island nation's top executives and car company chairman were feeling heavy, Mitsubishi Group's Vice Chairman Tomoo Iwata raised a question: "Can the dilapidated basic power facilities in the Middle East and Africa really meet the charging needs of new energy vehicles?"< br>
"!!!"
"!!!"
The moment the words fell, Mitsubishi's board of directors was collectively stunned.
"Yes, Africa and the Middle East are such chaotic regions. Not only are they at war all the year round, but their power facilities are terrible. New energy vehicles have too many limitations. No matter how awesome the parameters of Longxing Heavy Industries' vehicles are, they cannot threaten our fundamentals! ”
"Yes, that's the truth!"
"In the Middle East, fuel vehicles are king!"
"That means we don't have to be afraid of Chen Xing further compressing the market. Thank God, this is really good news."
Mitsubishi Group directors breathed a sigh of relief and could finally feel at ease.
However!
Will Chen Xing do useless work?
Impossible!
When he went to Longke Academy to discuss the technical support of Beidou Navigation, Wang Shan had discussed with Chen Xing on the phone to use the new energy vehicle as a shareholder to complete the global construction of power facilities.
To put it simply, countries with poor power infrastructure can invest in and entrust Longguo’s National Grid to build power facilities.
For example, in Saudi Arabia, Dragon Kingdom has begun to lay out the construction of power infrastructure, and the State Grid has announced that any attack on Dragon Kingdom's overseas infrastructure will be regarded as a provocation against Dragon Kingdom.
In the past, most countries and organizations might have dismissed it.
But now!
Saudi Arabia has the Dragon Kingdom's heavily armed combined brigade.
Precisely because of the presence of heavily armed synthetic brigades, Saudi Arabia's safety factor has skyrocketed in the past year.
In addition to Saudi Arabia, countries such as Iran, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, as well as Laos and Cambodia, are all negotiating to liberalize power control and provide power from the national grid of the Dragon Kingdom.
It is worth mentioning that Guxiang State also had a wish, but considering the seriousness of electricity theft by Guxiang State, it did not agree to its request.
Longguo's global power supply, as well as after-sales maintenance, has attracted the attention of many countries in the Middle East and Africa.
As for why global power supply is needed, firstly, it is to anchor the Longguo currency, and secondly, controllable nuclear fusion is progressing smoothly, so Longguo must win over BRICS members in advance.
To put it bluntly, we need to rebuild a new world order around electricity.
……
"The last one, the mini model, is also often said to be Lao Toou Le."
Chen Xing opened the car door so that the photographer could take a closer look.
"For Laotou Le, we were not considering it at the beginning because the technical content is not high and there is no challenge."
"But."
Chen Xing changed the topic and said helplessly: "I can't stand it anymore. People send me private messages on Weibo every day, saying they want to make the old man happy."
"No."
"By the way, I made an old man's music."
After the words fell, bursts of laughter erupted from the Bird's Nest Stadium, and the barrage in the live broadcast room also surged.
"Hahaha, who is so obsessed with old man's music?"
“Listening to Mr. Chen’s story, I feel like the old man enjoys the scraps, as if they come as a bonus!”
"Laotou Le really doesn't have any technical content. As long as you give me a Taisan Bongzi, I can modify one for you."
"The old man was happy that the car owner was passing by."
While there was a lot of discussion offline and online, Chen Xing suddenly changed the topic and continued: "But one thing to say is that after I actually drove it and experienced it, I realized that Laotou Le is indeed very suitable for urban transportation."
You won’t know whether the car is good to drive or not until you try it.
The main reason why Laotou Le is popular all over the country is that it is simple to control and very easy to use.
Chen Xing moved his steps and returned to the center of the podium, then looked sideways at the screen behind him, pressed the remote control and said: "That's it for the vehicle configuration and parameters. Now we will announce Conquer 001, Pilot 002, Open 001, Climb 001 and Yuedong 001’s Longguo guide price”
