I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

Not only COMAC, but also many international manufacturers that are expected to participate in the C919 project are paying great attention to the C822 and C832 plans and the newly established COMAC.

They all know that once this resolution is passed, it will be of great significance to the people and the government.

"Complete localization" is absolute political correctness in China. As long as it is based on this goal, it is destined to stand in a high position. The national significance of C919 is not that important.

In addition, regarding orders, airlines are definitely willing to order their own domestically produced aircraft. It is generally accepted that domestically produced aircraft are cheaper, and China’s strong industrial capabilities also have the ability to reduce costs.

There will no longer be the embarrassment of having to purchase designated products for every napkin box on Boeing passenger aircraft, and there will no longer be the situation of paying exorbitant prices for repairs by foreign engineers.

Driven by the interests of many parties, Commercial Aircraft Shang Shang made misery while inquiring about the situation.

When it is known that the 611 Institute \u0026 132 Factory jointly manufactured it with the Civil Aviation Administration and Xinyuan Company, it means that the project has been confirmed, and Sichuan locals will fully protect it.

Moreover, both C822 and C832 have military orders to make their first flights within two years, which COMAC cannot achieve.

It is possible to manufacture the casing alone, but it is difficult to say about other internationally supplied components.

However, a blessing in disguise was that companies such as General Electric and Honeywell suddenly relaxed their delays in supplying key components of the C919 and began on-site negotiations to reach cooperation as soon as possible.

COMAC was well aware of this, but still accepted it smoothly. In this way, the C919 project accelerated its progress in a completely unexpected way.

At the same time, the 611 Institute and Xinyuan were once again announced as sanctioned, although they had already been on the sanctions list.

However, Air China later announced that they intend to purchase two C832s from Southwest Commercial Airlines as special planes!

You know, there is no such thing as a special plane in China. The planes used are all 747s operated by Air China, and commercial flights will resume later.

Of course, there are other factors involved, but they have disappeared with the emergence of C832. In order to show support for Air China, Air China did not hesitate to take action and signed a contract of intent with a high profile.

Special planes are what made the Yun-10 so popular in the first place. Under this premise, a lot of resources can be allocated.

You know, at this time there is no trace of the commercial aviation company!

Officials began to endorse and support, and many people immediately understood that the C822 and C832 projects had been registered at the top, and their status surpassed that of the C919.

The superiors still know which one is more important, the biological son or the godson. No matter how good the latter is, people cannot be completely reassured.

However, these twists and turns have little impact on ordinary people. As the New Year approaches, Xin'an Automobile has become a hot search topic.

Because on this day, the first 1,000 XC4s were delivered to users.

Xin'an Automobile's sales network is divided into two. One is the traditional 4S store channel, which Southern Motor has directly squeezed. The other is the online car ordering, where the factory directly dispatches the car to the place of delivery. The advantage of the former is that it has an existing car, while the latter does not have so many twists and turns, there is no increase in price to pick up the car, and you can freely choose the color and style you like, but you need to wait.

After all, in order to save shipping costs, the outgoing cars must either save a certain amount and ship them together, or find a truck with empty space to hoist the XC4 and take it there. This takes a long time.

Now the number of XC4s undelivered by Xin'an has exceeded 80,000. After Chen Jun announced that the first 50,000 car owners will be lucky enough to enter space and the XC4 will be immediately installed with parts from spacecraft wreckage or scrap processing, the number increased overnight. Orders for nearly 20,000 vehicles were placed.

If all these cars are delivered, Xin'an Automobile's sales of XC4 alone will exceed 40 billion!

Even after deducting various early investments and various additional expenses, the profits brought by the XC4 alone are enough to ensure that Xinan Automobile's first fiscal year profits are positive.

If not for the fact that so many new forces ended up building cars later, this thing would be as profitable as a mobile phone!

On January 28, Xinan Automobile announced 10 lucky car owners, 9 men and 1 woman. They were absolutely random without any secret manipulation.

The oldest selected candidate is 48 years old and the youngest is 23 years old. Their physical conditions meet the standards.

After receiving one month of training, they are expected to fly into space in two batches on available space shuttles around August 2016.

After all, they are all owners who can spend 500,000 yuan on a car. They can still make it together in a month.

And none of them have the financial resources to purchase commercial space travel, which has become the focus of media attention.

Also, these are 10 people, a whole 10 people!

Before the Progress mission, it took the Chinese Space Administration 10 years to send 10 people to space. Then Xinyuan Company said: Come on, you can buy my car worth 500,000 yuan, and I will send you 50 million yuan to go to space.

For ordinary people, they can feel that the distance between themselves and space is quickly closing. Now there are 500,000 car owners. Is it possible to have 50,000 cars in the future?

It’s not necessarily true. After all, Lin Ju has calculated that sending people into space through lottery may be more cost-effective for Xinyuan than spending hundreds of millions on advertising.

Even if the factory net profit margin of a car is only 8%, the XC4 still brings a net profit of 3.2 billion yuan. Moreover, the profit margin of the XC4 is not so low. 8% is about the same for a civilian family car. The more expensive the car, the higher the profit margin. High, the added value accounts for much more than the increase in configuration.

If there is a 100,000-class family car that can sell 1 million units and make a total net profit of 10 billion yuan, would it be difficult to use 500 million yuan to fly the space shuttle 10 times and send 50 people into space?

But for these car owners, the 50 space travel quota is a huge number, and even if they don't resell it, they can transfer it for an astronomical sum.

If you think about it carefully, this probability is already higher than the probability of winning tens of millions in sports lottery and welfare lottery. The latter is based on hundreds of millions.

Therefore, buying a Xin'an car is not like buying an ordinary car. It is simply an excellent financial channel.

And the performance of XC4 also has excellent advantages.

Although it will take some time for the mobile Internet to take off, various posts and videos of XC4 test drives have begun to circulate on the Internet.

The best among them is of course the generation-changing XW151 intelligent driving system.

Once many people get the car, because the car is in transit, the car owner must first conduct fingerprint authentication to confirm the identity.

After that, the car machine will tell the user how to operate the XC4 intelligent driving system, artificial intelligence Xiaoxin, native support for Chinese/English bilingual, and a small number of entertainment functions.

The other is the assisted driving function that is focused on being introduced to users. Although the word "assisted" has never left the promotion and name, anyone who listens to the introduction can feel that the displayed functions are almost equivalent to autonomous driving.

In 2016, country bumpkins who had never seen the world began to upload videos of themselves interacting with cars, which not only became popular in China, but also spread abroad.

The good performance of XC4 has also brought benefits to Xinan Company. This year’s year-end award has three special prizes: 24-hour space tour*2 and 7-day space station tour*1.

Of course, the 7-day tour of the space station fell on CEO Chen Jun. Among other things, his sales of 40 billion were enough for him to be proud of. The ability of luxury cars to attract money made Southern Motor very jealous, and it was also rapidly developing its own of luxury models.

Two 24-hour space tours were awarded to two engineers with outstanding performance and contributions to BMS and intelligent driving systems respectively.

They will also complete space travel in the middle of this year, so H1 launches will be very frequent this year. It is rumored that the third H1 passenger model Steadfast is being manufactured and will be specially designed to serve high-frequency space tourism.

Magic city, port.

An XC4 sports car was loaded into a container and fixed, and then placed on the upper level of the container ship by a crane.

There are also a small number of export orders for the XC4, and this is one of them. The owner ordered the highest configuration, and requested that it be adjusted to support English at the factory. Since the car was ordered early, it was ready to be installed and shipped to Aramco today.

At the same time, Aramco Customs printed a 200% tax bill for the cross-border car and sent it to the car buyer's mailbox.

In the column of the name sent, it is written: Elon Musk.
