Chapter 459: Unable to reduce prices, unable to restrict, unable to resist
“Holy shit!”
“Holy shit!”
“Are you crazy, this price?”
When the price of 209,000 appeared, the audience at the press conference all stood up, their eyes shining with disbelief.
I thought it was a million dollar coupe, but now you tell me that you can drive it home for less than 210,000?
"Crazy, crazy, Chen Xing is crazy. Who can beat him at this price!" Chen Hong, the boss of SAIC, completely surrendered and muttered in a deep voice.
Masik, who was at the entrance to the second-floor stands, saw the price of the standard version of Pilot 001, and his whole body was in a state of shock.
“209,000 dragon national currency, is this crazy? This is not about entering the automobile field, but about overturning the entire automobile field!”
He did not expect this price at all. , even if it's just the standard version.
Self-repairing top-grade tires, 120-degree polymer semi-solid battery, 850 kilometers of extreme endurance, 2000 MPa vehicle structural strength, zero to zero acceleration in 2.81 seconds, and L3 level unmanned autonomous driving. Even if you take out one of these configurations alone, It is enough to become a promotional selling point for other competitors’ new cars.
But what did Chen Xing say?
Pack it all up and take away 209,000 yuan!
Turn over the table?
This is no longer just flipping the table!
This is a thorough and original price war, the purpose is to tap the foundation of global car companies and friends!
“Hiss!”
Otaki Kazuki, the CEO of Honda Group, looked at the price and pinched his thigh so hard that the pain instantly spread throughout his body.
“It’s true!”
“It’s not a dream!”
"This price is real!"
Otaki Kazuki admitted that he was already panicking. He did not expect Chen Xing to be so rude and would not even try to test him. He would kill other friends as soon as he came up. From business.
“Baga!”
“Price war? Damn it!”
“Damn it!!!”
Mitsubishi Group, Nissan Motor Group , Honda Group CEOs all broke their defenses one after another. No one could have expected that Chen Xing would pay this price. This was completely a "nuclear bomb of business war."
BMW Group CEO Nagel, Mercedes-Benz Group CEO Olaf Leiter, Audi Group CEO Dusmaier, and General Motors CEO Noemi Paschal also lost their gentlemanly demeanor and were all cursing. .
They thought it was a million-level coupe, but they didn’t expect it to be a million-level performance coupe with a price of 200,000 yuan.
Can’t play!
They really can’t play anymore this time!
And at the same time.
The other side.
New York, USA, on the other side of the ocean.
Davich, who had been following the live broadcast, also broke through. The coffee cup in his hand was thrown to the ground, and brown coffee liquid flowed all over the floor.
“For 209,000 Dragon National Coin, the standard version of Pilot 001 is only sold for 209,000 Dragon National Coin. Damn Chen Xing, he wants to do his same trick again and muddy the market!”
< br>Davich gritted his teeth and showed a fierce look in his eyes, wishing he could eat Chen Xing alive.
If Chen Xing is really served to the dinner table, he can really guarantee that he will transform into a five-star gourmet Hannibal!
But he doesn’t want to go abroad at all and will not give him this opportunity.
“Repeat the same trick? Is there no way to deal with it?” At this time, sitting not far from Davich, wearing a corset vest, with an all-seeing eye tattooed on his chest, with the words The seductive woman with heavy European and American makeup asked.
The history of the Longxing Group's fortune, the twists and turns and crises it has experienced, are basically known to the members of the National Congress by heart.
The so-called repeating the same old trick is to first use "quantity" to open up the market.
For example, the Longxing X1 mobile phone in 2014, priced at 1,599 yuan, perfectly served as a stepping stone for Chen Xing, completely opening the Longxing mobile phone market to the Longxing Group.
Assuming that the price at that time was not 1,599, but 2,999 yuan, then it is very likely that the friendly merchants would be the first to start a price war.
At that time, except for rice phones, the net profit of a mobile phone from other rival manufacturers was about 30%-40%. The premium was very serious, which also meant that there was ample room for decline.
Once the Longxing X1 is priced at 2999, people can simply price the new flagship priced at 4,000 yuan or even 5,000 yuan at 1,999 yuan and sell it, cutting off the Longxing X1's escape route.
Why is it said that Longxing X1 can be cut off?
It’s very simple, because you ordered 2999 yuan, you can’t drop it to 1999 yuan in a short period of time to compete with them. This involves the price guarantee issue of the previous batch of purchasers.
This is why Chen Xing insisted on pricing the product at 1,599 yuan. The purpose was to knock on the door of the market and prevent his eager friends from starting a price war.
You know, according to the original configuration of the Longxing X1 and the mobile phone configurations of its friends, they could only kill Chen Xing if they priced the new flagship at 999 yuan.
Do they dare to follow?
They didn't dare to go out and play hard.
Because of this, the Rice Company, Kunpeng Company, Iron Hammer Company, and Blue and Green Factory at that time did not end up in a price war with the Longxing Group, because the bosses of these friendly businessmen knew very well that they The odds couldn't be beaten. Chen Xing set the price of the mobile phone too low, and they had no room to operate.
Now that Chen Xing is repeating his old tricks, Davich can finally understand the helplessness of Ren Guofei, Rebus, Luo Hao and others.
With a million-level coupe configuration and a price of 209,000, how can this be compared with Chen Xing's bayonet?
Is it possible to say that top luxury cars such as BMW M4, McLaren, Ferrari, and Maybach have lowered their status to enter a price war with Pilot 001?
This is simply impossible!
Once they choose to cut prices, the brand’s premium will be wiped clean.
People buy Maybach, Ferrari, and Lamborghini just to show off their superiority and attract the attention of passers-by and the opposite sex. If the street is full of people with one, who would be envious?
Unable to lower the price, unable to restrict, unable to fight, Davich took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, and said sincerely: "Chen Xing is too scheming and has a very far-sighted vision. He almost made us target Pilot 001 All points are closed.”
The price is floor price.
Performance, far ahead.
The most important thing is that Linghang 001 also has L3 level unmanned autonomous driving, which is a feature that Chen Xing has told the world to help people with severe amputations drive again.
Once brutal means are used to ban it, the relevant groups will definitely be dissatisfied, and there may be another demonstration by then.
"Then let him attack the automobile market?" the enchanting woman asked in confusion.
Davich glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "At this point, I can only let your Angsa Consortium cooperate with my father's actions. I hope you can suppress Chen Xing."
< br>The Angsa consortium represents the traditional manufacturing industry, while the Jewish consortium represents the financial industry.
What Longxing Group is now attacking is the traditional manufacturing industry controlled by the Angsa Consortium. Due to emotions and reasons, they should not sit idly by.
"I'll try my best."
The enchanting woman took a sip of coffee.
As a senior executive of the Angsa Consortium, she knew very well that the senior executives of Angsa had always wanted to use Chen Xing to disrupt the power of the Jewish consortium and thus take over the financial industry in the United States.
But now it seems that there is no choice. If Angsa does not contribute, the Jewish power may not be disintegrated, but the US economy will collapse first.
The two waves of people have cooperated several times in the past, but both sides have spared their efforts and do not like each other. Now they can only cooperate in depth.
At the same time.
The Capitol Hill of the United States.
The emergency meeting bell was rang, and all members were rushing to the chamber.
Renato Marotta, who was sitting in the main seat, had a gloomy face. He had already realized that Chen Xing was frantically "stacking armor" for Pilot 001. It is very likely that this car will be launched in the US market in the future. This forced him to treat it with caution.
“What happened?”
The female congresswoman who arrived first asked.
"Take a seat first. In this emergency meeting, we are going to revise the import and export regulations for complete automobiles. The relevant bills must be passed today." Renato Marotta explained briefly.
"Passed today? Are you serious?"
The congresswoman looked surprised.
In the past, it took at least three days to pass a bill because it had to be submitted to the Senate for review.
But now Renato Marotta actually demands that it be passed within one day, which is simply unbelievable and unheard of.
However, what the female congresswoman does not know is that this car bill can only be passed quickly, not slowly. If the public is aware that it is targeting the Pilot 001 car, there will be a parade.
“I’m very sure.” Renato Marotta replied, looking directly into her eyes.
……
Longguo Internet.
Weibo information platform.
At this time, the hot search list has been flooded with entries related to Pilot 001, among which the entry "Standard version of Pilot 001 only costs 209,000" is topping the list.
Click to enter the entry.
Discussion blog posts are still being published.
[Little Fish Meow Meow]: "No, this is for this beauty. I don't have 1 million, but I really do have 209,000!"
[Invincible God of War] ]: "It's hard for me to refuse a 209,000 yuan pilot 001, because it is like an unattainable goddess in my youth. It makes my heart beat faster and my breathing difficult. I didn't dare to confess to the goddess before, but now I have the conditions. I want to Get your own goddess!”
[Monkey King 666]: “Is there any adoptive father in Bincheng who wants to buy a Pilot 001 car? Can you let me take a few photos?”< br>
[Society Your Brother Mao]: "I can find many faults with the 3 million Linghang 001. I can accept its flaws calmly with the 1 million Linghang 001, but with more than 200,000 Linghang 001, just Let’s put it this way, even if it explodes, I will still have to praise it when it is flying in the air.”
When the price of the standard version was released, the voice of the anti-fans was no longer visible on the Internet.
Because according to the data released by Chen Xing, the entire Internet is speculating that Linghang 001 is a million-level coupe. Unexpectedly, it only costs 209,000.
What is this concept?
Let’s put it this way, it’s as magical and shocking as going to a Ferrari store and buying a Ferrari with a 10% discount.
A multi-million dollar car can be purchased for 200,000. What kind of bicycle do you need?
Even if the anti-fans continue to criticize it, for a car costing more than 200,000 yuan, it is not a shortcoming. Its shining points are enough to cover up everything.
When the Internet trend was one-sided, the press conference was like a large-scale military training scene, with the audience shouting slogans in unison.
“Far ahead!”
“Far ahead!”
“Far ahead!”
Even in an open-air venue, facing this overwhelming mountain of people Screaming, Chen Xing on the podium felt his eardrums hurt. After waiting for a few minutes, the shouting subsided slightly, and then he pressed his hands to signal for silence.
After a while.
The shouting stopped completely.
Chen Xing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The price of 209,000 must be surprising to everyone, and they may even wonder if this price is a castrated version of Pilot 001. I will make a promise to everyone here first. , what it looks like at the press conference is what it looks like when you drive it home.”
"Okay!"
"Mr. Chen is awesome!"
"Mr. Chen is mighty and domineering!"
"Bah bang bang——"
Applause Like rain, continuous.
After waiting for another moment, Chen Xing raised his voice a little and said above the applause: "The reason why we set this price actually combines many factors and also encountered great resistance, but I want to say What is important is that technology should be democratized so that everyone can enjoy the convenience brought by technology. This is also the meaning we pursue.” The applause sounded again.
In response to the applause, Chen Xing looked back at the LED screen, and then continued: "The price of the standard version of Linghang 001 has been announced, and then the price of the exclusive version of Linghang 001 will be announced. Before the price is announced, we have prepared small guessing gifts for everyone.”
“Visitors at the scene and in the live broadcast room can open the official Weibo of Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company. Click on the pinned blog link to enter our betting page, and the first 100,000 people with the closest price will receive a mysterious gift.”
"I'll take a sip of water first. After 10 minutes, we will announce the final price and the mysterious gift."
After Chen Xing finished speaking, he walked off the podium, and the director in the background immediately cut the live broadcast to the bleacher seats.
With the emergence of the "mysterious gift", millions of people were instantly attracted to open Weibo and look for the top link.
Rebus, who was sitting in the stands, took out his mobile phone and searched for the top link on Weibo. Luo Hao saw it and asked in confusion: "Lao Lei, are you going to smoke too?"
“It’s a bit of a foul.”
Duan Yongping joked.
Rebus is a manufacturer, so he must know the specific price. He guessed that Chun Chun was the default contestant and was guaranteed to win the prize.
"What a foul, to be honest, except for that boy Chen Xing, neither Mr. Ren nor I know the specific pricing of Pilot 001." Rebus shrugged and said helplessly.
“I really don’t know.”
Ren Guofei agreed.
They only knew that it was in the range of 200,000 to 400,000, but they had no idea how much it was and whether there were any temporary changes.
Seeing that Ren Guofei, the corporate veteran, had spoken, the other bosses no longer questioned the authenticity of what Rebus said.
“Look, Boss Ren doesn’t even know that I am an honest person.”
As he spoke, Rebus opened Weibo, flipped to the top blog post, and then clicked on the link to jump Turn to the page, and the application for granting location information permission will pop up immediately on your phone.
“I also need location information.” He muttered and clicked to confirm.
If it were someone else’s link, he wouldn’t click it, let alone authorized location information. After all, as the “Cash King” of the Imperial City, Rebus’s bank card is notoriously rich. .
With the authorization of the location information, the page jumped twice, and a national emblem came into view, which shocked Rebus.
“Damn it, where did this take me?”
“I’m just an honest person.” Luo Hao was still muttering to Rebus in his heart, but saw a sudden jump When the national emblem webpage came out, he was also startled and said in a voiceless voice: "Holy crap, this... this seems to be the official website of Shencheng!"
Wang Fu: "???"
Duan Yongping: "???"
Ren Guofei: "???"
Isn't it about a lottery?
Conduct a lottery on the city’s official website?
Not only the bosses, but also tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were shocked, because after authorizing the location information, they all automatically jumped to the official website of their region.
"What's going on? After authorizing the location information, it jumps directly to the local official website. When filling in the form, I need to enter my ID number and mobile phone number. Do I need to enter it?"
" The moment the national emblem came out, I was completely confused. At first I thought someone had done web hijacking and boldly forged the official website. But if everyone jumped to the local official website, there would be no problem. It should be Chen What kind of cooperation have they reached?”
“If you don’t understand, just ask, who filled in the information?”
“I have already filled it in. The guessed price is 390,000, so there is no need to panic. Mr. Chen didn’t panic at all in the audience, so I knew that this must be part of it.”
“Yes, if someone had really hijacked the web page, Mr. Chen would have stopped us from filling in the information. Don’t worry. .”
Gradually, more and more viewers filled in their information and entered their guessed prices on the relevant pages.
After waiting for 10 minutes, Chen Xing in the audience came back to the podium.
"The time has come." The moment he finished speaking, he explained again: "Everyone must have questions as to why we fill it out on the local official website. This is because we have reached strategic cooperation with many regions. The gifts given to each other can be roughly divided into these types. "
Chen Xing pressed the remote control, and a bubble diagram appeared on the LED screen, with the words of the type of gift floating in it.
Local specialties.
Cash rewards.
Charging rights.
Digital products.
Consumption subsidies.
There are various types of prizes, but the most eye-catching one is the bubble with the words "Limited License Plate", which also surprised many viewers who live in big cities but did not win the lottery.
"Limited license plate? Mr. Chen, please don't tell me that you can get a license plate when you buy a car!"
"As a Beijing drifter from the imperial capital, if you really get a license plate when you buy a car, even if the Pilot 001 is a castrated car I won’t hesitate or blink.”
“Not to mention the Imperial license plate, the Modu license plate is also very tempting. Of course, forget about the Shanghai C license plate.”< br>
“The owner of the Shanghai C license plate was in tears. If it hadn’t been said that he could switch to B or A in the future, he wouldn’t have wanted this license plate!” Cities, "Going North" Since the city has been developing for a long time, the street pattern has been basically finalized, and there is no way to make in-depth adjustments. In addition, there are many migrant workers and the population is extremely dense. The local license plate resources are worth a lot of money, and a lottery policy is basically adopted. .
Take the Imperial City license plate as an example. As long as you draw the number, it is no less than winning the 200,000 grand prize.
Listening to the discussion at the scene, which was like a wet market, Chen Xing was very satisfied with this, and the leadership teams from various places were also very satisfied.
This price guessing activity is actually Chen Xing uniting with leadership teams from various places to promote new energy vehicles in various ways and stimulate people to spend their money.
Due to the U.S. dollar interest rate hike, other countries except the United States have experienced economic sluggishness. There is a serious lack of liquidity in the market and consumption is downgraded.
If people in other countries have no money, then the situation in Dragon Country is exactly the opposite.
Because their elders often teach them not to spend money indiscriminately and to save money to fight future risks, the people of the Dragon Kingdom are famous for their love of saving money, and their total savings are the largest in the world.
Anyone who likes watching American TV series or Western TV series will know that once the protagonist encounters an unemployment crisis, he will definitely be urged to pay back the money in various ways, and then transition to a plot of committing crimes to make money.
This is because in the West, most people have no concept of saving, and they are accustomed to spending in advance. They often start with a few credit cards. Once their income is cut off, they will soon be entangled in debt.
When Chen Xing proposed that he could help stimulate consumption, almost all places responded and showed their sincerity.
"Okay, dear viewers, the standard version of Pilot 001 is 209,000, and the price of the exclusive version is..."
Chen Xing plays a long tail note, like a violin. The bow pulled everyone's strings, making them all hold their breath.
“299,000 yuan!”
When the price was officially announced, Masik’s whole body trembled, and his heart completely died at this moment.
299,000 yuan, equivalent to about 50,000 US dollars, this price is not to enter the automobile market, but to truly overturn the global automobile market and reshuffle it.
“Does he really make money?”
The moment BMW Group CEO Nagel saw the price, he blurted it out subconsciously, his voice trembling.
For 299,000, you can’t even buy an entry-level BMW 3 Series. Is it really possible to make a million-level performance vehicle like Pilot 001?
"They should be spending money on subsidies. He is going to start a war with us." Olaf Leiter, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Group, narrowed his eyes. Although he looked calm on the outside, in fact, he was already in a state of turmoil inside.
“Madman, this is a madman!” Audi Group CEO Dusmai stood up and pointed directly at Chen Xing and cursed.
However, his curse could not be heard at all, because thousands of spectators in the stands had already stood up and cheered.
“299,000! Mr. Chen! You are my god!”
“The configuration is far ahead, but the price is far behind. It’s a pity that Mr. Chen was not in ancient times. If it were in ancient times, this would be A saint who wants to be enshrined in a temple!”
“He could have sold it for 1 million, but he only sold it to me for 300,000. Could it be that Mr. Chen has a crush on me, but if Mr. Chen opens his mouth? I will definitely get rid of him.”
“Damn it, you have Tong!”
“Mr. Chen, I can really afford 299,000, you are mine. Light! ”
The cheers at the scene were wave after wave, and each wave was more violent than the other. Everyone's neck veins popped out, their faces turned red, and they were shouting at the top of their lungs. Correspondingly, they were the faces of the CEOs of foreign companies.
Without exception.
Everyone is as gloomy as eating shit.
Since they were all in the front row, Chen Xing, who was standing on the podium, could naturally notice and guess what they were thinking.
You don’t have to think too hard to know that these people must be wondering why a coupe with million-level performance is priced in the range of 300,000.
The pricing is 209,000 and 299,900. On the one hand, it is to knock on the door of the market and build up the brand reputation of leading cars. On the other hand, the performance and mechanical structure of new energy vehicles naturally have advantages over fuel vehicles. .
The power core of new energy vehicles is the motor, while the power core of fuel vehicles is the engine. The former can directly convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Compared with the energy loss in the combustion process of the engine of fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles The energy conversion efficiency of the car is higher.
In terms of acceleration, the motor can reach peak torque instantly and usually has better acceleration performance than fuel vehicles of the same level.
To put it bluntly, it is more energy-efficient than a fuel vehicle and starts faster than a fuel vehicle.
BYD CEO Wang Fu looked at the excited crowd around him and could only forcefully smile and applaud. However, only he knew that he was in the same mood as other CEOs of domestic car companies. He was like a dumb man who had eaten coptis. The pain is unspeakable.
