Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

At this time, the scene about the car has ended, and the camera returns to the studio. However, most people did not react for a while. Heiyun Auto brought too much shock to the audience. Even though the automobile industry has been developing for a hundred years, it is not until today that we know how difficult it is to build a powerful car.

Engineers are required to work in extreme environments, and not everyone can withstand minus 50 degrees. Even though I was wearing protective clothing, it was scary just thinking about it. No wonder the Heiyun car can successfully ignite in the Arctic in one go. It turns out that the engine itself was assembled in this extreme environment. I have adapted before. In the past, the North Pole was almost like going home.

At this time, Alice was not alone in the studio, but there were also two automotive experts. They wanted to comment on the test results of several military vehicles; Alice was not worried at all about what they said, as she had paid enough public relations expenses before.

Stant Roy, a member of the American Automobile Association; a well-known automotive expert, currently works for Consumer Reports, the world's authoritative automotive review magazine.

"Consumer Reports" is a magazine sponsored and published by the Consumers Union of America that affects American consumer culture. It is a news magazine published to the public at home and abroad.

As an independent, nonprofit organization, Consumers Union of America's mission is to provide consumers with unbiased information on products, services, personal finance, health and nutrition.

The Consumers Union of America was founded in 1936 during the Great Depression. Its original intention was to stop American companies from using extravagant product promotion methods. Interestingly, because there was so little money to start the magazine at the time, they could only use the cheapest products for testing, such as breakfast oatmeal and effervescent tablets. At that time, the Consumers Union was not "popular" with public opinion. Reader's Digest labeled it a "dangerous heretic," saying the founders were bent on challenging the integrity of big business and "if they didn't want to destroy the economic system, at least they wanted to discredit it."

Currently, it is definitely an authoritative media in the automotive field. At least in the minds of the general public, Consumer Reports' evaluation of automobile manufacturers and models is very authoritative and pertinent. It is definitely a magazine of conscience that is impartial and always neutral.

Advocate Joy, member of the American Automobile Association. A well-known car critic, currently working for Car Magazine.

Different from Consumer Reports, Car Magazine is a single and professional car magazine with deep influence in the car enthusiast circle.

The "CAR AND DRIVER" brand was founded in the United States in 1955. Its original name was: SPORTS CARS ILLUSTRATED. In 1961, it was officially changed to its current name: CAR AND DRIVER.

"CAR AND DRIVER" has unique content resources. Its parent magazine "CAR AND DRIVER" is one of the most famous and authoritative magazines in many countries around the world.

We usually publish the latest and most professional test reports, objective and impartial opinions, and select the latest and hottest models in each issue for comparative testing, so that readers can see clearly, as if they were there in person.

It will also provide car owners with tailor-made, large-capacity, practical, thirst-quenching information, modifications, driving skills, tires... to make driving a fun-filled journey.

It can be said that both magazines have their own merits, but both are authoritative media in the automotive industry.

ABC TV station invited these two people, and its purpose is self-evident. I just want to hear the opinions of two experts, so as to give the public a more macro-level appreciation.

Alice smiled and said: "The testing work of new cars by various car companies just now is eye-opening. At least I was shocked. But like ordinary viewers, I just want to watch the fun at most."

“In order to allow consumers and TV viewers to better compare the performance of new cars from various car companies, we are honored to invite two absolutely authoritative experts on automobiles, Stant Roy from Consumer Reports and Ai from Car Magazine. Devo-Joy editors-in-chief.”

After Stant Roy and Edvard Joy greeted the audience in front of the TV respectively, the interview got down to business.

In order to be fair and satisfy the public's curiosity, a telephone consultation session was specially added. In other words, the director will pass the content of the phone call received from the audience to Alice through the earphone, and then ask questions on the spot.

Alice: "Some viewers are curious as to why Heiyun Automobile's engine is assembled in a low temperature environment of minus 50 degrees Celsius, and what are the benefits of doing so."

After all, Stant Roy was a senior, so Edvard Joy made a gesture of invitation, and the other party understood it and said: "There are many benefits of assembling an engine at low temperatures. To put it bluntly, it is to use thermal expansion of metal. The properties of cold shrinkage.”

"Although the effect of thermal expansion and contraction is not obvious for high-density alloys, this characteristic exists in all metals. The parts of the Heiyun engine are processed very precisely; the gaps are very small when assembled. It stands to reason that it can be achieved without using cold assembly. According to technical requirements, after using cold assembly technology, the assembled engine is almost in an absolutely sealed state. This is also one of the reasons why the Heiyun engine is very powerful and fuel-efficient."

As worthy of being an expert on automobiles, his words are still very easy to understand.

Alice then asked: "What is the difference in cost between using a cold assembly workshop and assembling at room temperature."

This is completely an advertising act, except for other car manufacturers. The audience didn't care. After all, they knew more and felt more confident when buying in the future.

Advocate-Joy: "Cold installation technology has high environmental requirements. The refrigeration workshop alone requires a terrible amount of electricity to operate every day. All equipment needs to be specially customized. It can be said that the cost of the engine will increase by at least 20% or even higher."

"Of course I'm talking about engines of the same material and same precision. I once dismantled a Black Cloud engine at a modification shop, and encountered many difficulties during the entire disassembly process; several wrenches were scrapped just by themselves."

"I still felt a little confused at the time, but now I finally know the answer after watching the video. Try not to disassemble the Heiyun engine next time. The Heiyun engine assembled by ordinary garages will not achieve the best results at all."

Advocate-Joy's words have almost made Heiyun Engine an industry benchmark; at least ordinary people will think that if any company does not use cold assembly technology to assemble engines. It just lacks strength and is irresponsible to consumers.

Alice continued: "Some viewers asked, if both of them were senior officials of the Ministry of National Defense, which car company would they place an order with."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows how to answer, even though they get a lot of public relations fees. But after all, we still have to work in the automobile industry, and we don't dare to offend automobile giants like General Motors and Ford easily.

Stant-Roy: "From the perspective of comprehensive performance, the new Heiyun military vehicle does have merits. However, the service of a weapon and equipment depends on a variety of factors, among which the defense budget is very critical."

"The performance of Heiyun Automobile and the application of new technologies. The price will definitely not be cheap, so large-scale procurement is obviously not suitable. However, it depends on the national strategic needs, and the two of us have nothing to say."

"The General Hummer military vehicle and Ford's new military vehicle designed based on the F150 Raptor chassis both have merit. As long as the price/performance ratio is right, they are also very good choices."

Although there is no specific preference for whom, the answer has been given. It's good to dare to say this. At least the audience felt that the two of them recognized Heiyun Automobile more.

Alice: "What do you two think about the technologies used in new cars? Which technologies are more practical and which ones are useless."

The new technology is definitely a black cloud, but other manufacturers have seen nothing.

Advocate-Joy: "The new technologies displayed by the Black Cloud military vehicle are very meaningful, such as hybrid oil-powered engines; if they can be applied on a large scale, they will play a huge role in promoting future engine development."

"In addition, judging from the external power system of the car, Heiyun should have made a huge breakthrough in battery technology. High-density batteries are not only used in the automotive field, but are widely used in many fields."

"The on-board inflation system can make people feel more at ease while driving, at least they will not be thrown into the wilderness due to a flat tire."

"Heiyun military vehicles have too many new technology applications. If these technologies can achieve the effects shown in the video, it will definitely be a subversion of the automotive industry. However, new technologies may be immature in many ways and can only be explored and developed through continuous research and development. Improve."

"What I want to do most at this time is to buy a new Heiyun military vehicle. I hope that the civilian version will be launched as soon as possible. The bulletproof strength does not necessarily need to be that high. Don't be castrated in the application of other new technologies."

After that, the two experts reviewed several other vehicles, but everything seemed bleak in front of Heiyun's new car.
