reborn industrial empire

Chapter 286 rivals at the auto show

………,

At this time, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Umbrella Xiaoqiang’s mind: Hurricane Katrina!

If you remember correctly, this year will be the day when Hurricane Katrina makes landfall in the United States. This hurricane not only caused catastrophic consequences to Americans, but also caused a heavy blow to the U.S. economy.

Haha, but Americans’ suffering is an American thing. For Jin Xiaoqiang, this is an absolute good opportunity to make money. Generally speaking, large-scale natural disasters like this will bring difficulties to the financial market.

The shock of metaphor, if you can grasp such

.

A golden avenue seemed to suddenly flash before Jin Xiaoqiang's eyes, but there were still some vague things in his mind that he had not yet figured out.

As for what the remaining things are, Jin Xiaoqiang no longer cares. What he cares about is only that rare hurricane.

After turning off the TV, Jin Xiaoqiang called Alice regardless, and explained this to Alice on the phone.

A few days later, Jin Xiaoqiang appeared in Shanghai, but this time he came to Shanghai not to acquire a certain company, but specifically to participate in the Shanghai Auto Show.

In his previous life, he had been to this city known as the Magic Capital of the East several times, and he was somewhat familiar with it.

But at that time, he always came to Shanghai to visit with his colleague from his previous life, and lived in their homes, but this life was different. After he had money, of course he wanted to live in a better place.

The Jin Mao Tower, which he has passed by countless times and longed for, has certainly become his best choice this time. He has decided to stay at the Shangri-La Hotel next time!

The exhibition hall of this Shanghai Auto Show is the Shanghai New International Expo Center on Longyang Road in Pudong, Shanghai. Since it was built in 2001, the international exhibition center in Beijing has become the second largest exhibition hall in China, and here

Became number one in the empire.

The total indoor area of ​​the exhibition hall is as high as 103,500 square meters, and the outdoor area is as high as 100,000 square meters. It is said that it has entered the expansion state. After the expansion is completed, the indoor area of ​​the entire exhibition hall will become 200,000 square meters, and the outdoor exhibition hall area will be even more.

With a total area of ​​130,000 square meters, it will become the world's largest exhibition hall.

Although the area of ​​this exhibition hall is amazing, Jin Xiaoqiang is a little disdainful of these. In many aspects, people in China like to strive to be the number one in the world, but such a number one in the world, in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, is really a bit boring.

Tasteless.

How can such a large exhibition hall be maintained on a daily basis? You must know that major projects like the auto show are not held every day. If there are no projects like the auto show, this exhibition hall will be just an empty space.

It's a waste of taxpayers' money and is simply useless. However, he can't say these things in front of the organizer.

This auto show will be officially held tomorrow, in April. This auto show can be said to be a gathering of strong players such as General Motors, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Honda and other world-renowned major car manufacturers who will make a collective appearance.

In the past, China's auto shows might not have received the attention of these car dealers at all, but this year's situation is a little different.

Last year, Huayang Dynamics emerged in the Chinese market. Under the leadership of their talented designer boss Jin Xiaoqiang, this company has been constantly conquering the Chinese automobile market.

As of April this year, Huayang Power, with only three models, has occupied about 10% of the market share in China's family car market.

Although in terms of total sales, there is still a gap between GM, Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda and other major car manufacturers, such results have already made these international major car manufacturers feel a little scared.

You must know that they currently have only three cars in circulation on the market, but these three cars have already turned China's family car market upside down.

This year at the Shanghai Auto Show, Huayang Power announced a model that will make its global debut. In addition to the Qoros series, there will be many other supplementary models.

Once these models are put on the market, God knows how much trouble this damn Huayang Power will cause in the Chinese market?

Therefore, these car companies that were originally aloof and did not think much of China's auto show have also shown their skills this time, vowing to compete with Huayang Power at this auto show.

.

Although GM has formed a strategic alliance with Huayang Dynamics, it does not mean that they will give up the Tianchao market. You must know that this has become one of their most important overseas markets and has become their heart.

A battleground for military strategists.

Although they have reached a cooperation intention with Huayang Power on the Qoros series of models, the profits of Qoros in the Chinese market have nothing to do with GM, so this time they also brought their own flagship product, the Cadillac King series.

I plan to use products from this car series to compete with Qoros in China.

There are eight Cadillac series products brought by GM this time. The most eye-catching among them is undoubtedly the Cadillac luxury sports sedan CTS with closed-cylinder fuel-saving technology, as well as their luxury SUV, Cadillac SRX.

There is also the top sports car xlr.

It seems that in China's mid-to-high-end car market, GM is locked in a battle with Huayang Power.

Shanghai Volkswagen, which plays at home, is not to be outdone. Last time at Volkswagen's home stadium in Frankfurt, they were humiliated by Huayang Power. This time they vowed to regain their place, but they also know that their models are already seriously damaged.

It's aging, so they plan to work on the price.

Moreover, when it was too late to develop new models, they also rushed to produce several luxury cars this time. For example, the Santana 2000 became the Santana 3000 surpasser, and the Passat, which had been criticized a lot by Chinese consumers in the past two years,

, they also tinkered with a 2.8L v6, a luxury business version.

In addition, Polo, which best represents their specialty, this time they also brought automatic transmission models, and also brought a total of eight models including the golf, which is best-selling in Europe.

Although there is nothing new in terms of models, Shanghai Volkswagen cannot bear it this time. They plan to reduce prices. As for the specific price reduction, we will have to wait until the auto show is officially held before we can get a conclusion.

FAW-Volkswagen, the brother of Shanghai Volkswagen, is also aggressive this time, not to be outdone. This time, in addition to the Audi with their bargaining skills, they also have several models equipped with RSH, the so-called automatic gap adjustment roller rocker.

Arm engine models, including Jetta, Bora, Golf and other models.

The RSH engine they use, if we are honest, can be said to be nothing new. Even with this engine, the power and torque of these models are only comparable to those currently sold by Huayang Power on the market.

Three models, just comparable.

In terms of engine performance alone, consumers may not necessarily pay for such a model. However, it is said that FAW-Volkswagen is planning to make a fuss about its three-guarantee promise this time. The specific situation will have to wait until the exhibition.

Only after the meeting can we get a conclusion.

However, when Jin Xiaoqiang saw this information, he didn't take it too seriously. So what if they fulfilled their three guarantees?

In Jin Xiaoqiang's view, whether it is FAW-Volkswagen or SAIC-Volkswagen, their products are still far behind Huayang Power's products.

Toyota also attaches great importance to this Shanghai Auto Show, and they have also brought many new models.

Among them are the Reiz, which was extremely popular in later generations in China, especially in South China, and their luxury car Crown. It seems that they have already felt enough power from Huayang in the mid-to-high-end market.

threaten.

Moreover, they have also equipped these models with their vvt-i technology. It seems that they no longer dare to fool Chinese consumers with their original shabby technologies.

Because this time they also specially brought Toyota’s luxury brand, Lexus!

You must know that last month, they reached an agreement with GAC to produce their flagship model Crown in China, and it was also in March that they obtained the Lexus operating license in China.

But it was only April that they brought Crown and Lexus models to the Shanghai Auto Show. From these anxious actions, we can see how much they attach importance to this Shanghai Auto Show.

And they also brought their hybrid car this time: Prius!

It can be said that Toyota has spent a lot of money this time, and the real appearance it brings belongs to the super luxury level. It seems that they are also going to compete with Huayang Power in the mid-to-high-end market!

Honda, another major Japanese car manufacturer, is not to be outdone. They have brought the latest Accord. Of course, this model is also equipped with vtec technology that they are proud of. You must know that they will definitely not use such technology.

I came to China to buy it.

And they also brought a brand new Odyssey, as well as a hatchback Fit and a sedan Fit.

In terms of models, Honda may not have anything new, but in terms of technology, it can be said that they have shown sincerity this time and used their original skills to develop engines with vtec technology that would only be sold in European, American and domestic markets.

, was taken out, of course this was also forced by Huayang Power.

And the most important thing is that Jin Xiaoqiang has received the news that this time Honda seems to be planning to make a fuss about after-sales service and vehicle prices, and plans to compete with Huayang Power through these improvements in soft power.

It seems that in this year's mid-to-high-end car market, there will be a bloody storm coming! (To be continued.!.
