Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

Chapter 109 Orchid Auto, HK$200,000

At this time, Tao Xin's face was not only surprised, but also a little proud. The reason why she rushed to be the first to be interviewed was that she vaguely felt that Orchid Racing was unusual.

As the first reporter to conduct an exclusive interview with Orchid Racing, she will not only receive a commendation from the president, but will also become famous in the industry, and may become a great reporter.

Tao Xin took the microphone and asked cooperatively: "We can see that there are no fuel tanks and engines required for conventional cars in the racing car. We can confirm that this racing car is powered by batteries. One car can reach a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour.

It can be said that it is self-evident what electric vehicles that need to reach 800 kilometers per hour mean to the world."

With that said, she turned around and interviewed Wang Weidong again: "Director Liu, since the Orchid Car has appeared on the field and has achieved good results, does it mean that the Orchid Car will be put on sale soon?"

Wang Weidong glanced at Tao Xin appreciatively, this little reporter is quite smart.

"Yes, the first batch of our Orchid Motors cars have been manufactured and will be sold simultaneously in the mainland and Hong Kong cities in five days. We hope that all car enthusiasts will come to buy them."

Hearing this, Tao Xin became interested. The driving experience of electric vehicles is unmatched by fuel vehicles. Especially in this era, the automatic clutch system of fuel vehicles is immature and the frustration is extremely serious. If the price is cheap enough, she also wants to

Own one.

Those reporters also had the same idea. Among other things, the price of fuel is high. If you have an electric car, you can save a lot of fuel every month.

They all extended the microphone to Wang Weidong: "Director Liu, how many Lanhua cars are there in the first batch and how much does each one cost?"

Wang Weidong adjusted his collar and said with a smile: "Due to limited production, the first batch of Orchid cars is only 5,000 units. In order to make it affordable for everyone, we are offering a grand opening bonus. Each unit is priced at HK$200,000."

200,000 Hong Kong dollars. As soon as this price was announced, the faces of the reporters turned dark.

In this era, the monthly salary of ordinary employees in Hong Kong City is only HKD 300, and the rent of public housing is HKD 80-200 per month. Even if the monthly salary of a reporter is higher, if you want to save up to HKD 200,000, you will not have to eat.

It would take ten years to get over it without drinking.

"The price is really too high... The five-door hatchback version of Prince Scarlett's oil-repellent touring car only costs HK$12,000. A car produced in the Mainland sells for HK$200,000. It's really too expensive."

Too much."

"That's 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. Some people can't save that much money in their lifetime."

"No one should buy it. The price of Orchid Cars will definitely drop."

.......

Soon, those reporters realized that as long as everyone boycotted Orchid Cars, Orchid Cars would have no choice but to sell them at a reduced price.

They only need to save money for a few years and borrow some money from the bank to buy it.

Wang Weidong knew their little thoughts and shook his head with a wry smile. He wanted to use this method to force Lanhua Auto to lower its price. He didn't know whether to call them cute or stupid.

With its excellent performance, Orchid Auto has no shortage of customers. There are many poor people in the world, and there are also many rich people.

They can pay extremely high prices to have something that others cannot have.

Orchid Auto's current production capacity is completely unable to meet the needs of the entire market, so it can only increase prices to screen customers.

Sure enough, just when those reporters were hoping that the price of Orchid Cars would be reduced, a voice came from the distance.

"Director Liu, I have ordered one hundred Orchid cars. Here is the deposit."

A fat man in a suit and tie walked in with two subordinates. As he walked, he waved the check. The vague amount on the check instantly attracted everyone's attention.

What worried Wang Weidong was that the fat man actually wore a huge gemstone ring on his finger, and a gold necklace as thick as the belly of a finger hung around his neck. It was exactly the same as the Northeastern veterans of later generations. But there was no need to test it.

You know, the fat man’s gold necklace shouldn’t be fake.

The reporter quickly recognized the person, and their expressions suddenly changed.

"It's Li Junxi, Li Junxi from Nanyang Bank. Why is he here?"

"Hey, you may not know. I just heard from people outside that before the game, Li Junxi bet on Orchid Auto to win the championship and made two million Hong Kong dollars with 200,000 Hong Kong dollars. He came to help Orchid Automobile Factory support

Facely."

...

HK$200,000, earn HK$2 million?

Wang Weidong frowned vaguely. He received a report from Zhou Lanzi before the game. After Zhou Lanzi bought the Lanhua racing car and won the championship, another person placed a heavy bet.

He originally thought it was someone in the competition committee who knew the inside story, but he didn't expect it to be Li Junxi.

Orchid Racing did not leak too much information before the game. In everyone's opinion, there was no possibility of winning the championship. Li Junxi dared to directly bet 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, which shows that this person's courage is not ordinary.

In this age of Hong Kong, if you want to succeed in your career, you must be timid.

While he was talking, Li Junxi had already walked up to Wang Weidong and handed over the check: "Director Liu, I am very interested in your Orchid Auto and decided to order 100 cars. This is the deposit. Please help me."

Of course, Li Junxi did not come to support Orchid Auto just because he made money. In his opinion, the reason why he won the bet was entirely because of his good luck and had nothing to do with Orchid Auto.

Even if another car wins, he will definitely bet on the other car to win.

He, Li Junxi, is so lucky.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The reason why Li Junxi appears here is entirely because he has seen the advantages of Orchid Racing.

In his opinion, the price of HK$200,000 for Orchid Racing is too low.

There are so many wealthy people in Hong Kong, and they would spend millions of Hong Kong dollars just to invest in a female star.

Isn't this kind of orchid racing car with cross-era significance more valuable than female stars?

.....

Facing the check handed over by Li Junxi, Wang Weidong accepted it without any hesitation.

"Don't worry, the car is already on the way to be transported and will be delivered to the port city in five days! However, out of curiosity, can you tell me, with one hundred Orchid racing cars, do you have so many girlfriends?"

Li Junxi laughed for a while, waved his hand and said: "Brother, you mainlanders are really honest. You don't really think that I would give such an expensive car to my girlfriend, do you? To be honest, I am planning to ship these cars to my girlfriend."

You may not know about Nanyang. I am from Nanyang. I have many relatives and friends there. They are very important in Nanyang. They look down on ordinary cars at all. Only new high-end cars like yours are suitable for them.

identity.

In fact, this is just the first batch of cars I purchased! If you don’t mind, our Nanyang Bank can definitely become the agent of Orchid Auto in Southeast Asia.”

Hehe, this fat man turns out to be a second-rate dealer! As expected, a person cannot be judged by his appearance!

However, Wang Weidong is not disgusted with Li Junxi's behavior. If Lanhua Automobile wants to go global, the power of Lanhua Group alone is not enough.

Since Nanyang Bank has a strong presence in Southeast Asia, it is the best choice to use them to deal with traditional automobile manufacturers.

After thinking about this, Wang Weidong enthusiastically took Li Junxi's hand and said with a smile: "Of course I want your company to join. Let's go to the headquarters of our Orchid Group to discuss it in detail."

When everyone saw the two of them leaving hand in hand, they finally realized: "Hey, our interview isn't finished yet!"

At this time, Tao Xin was so happy that she turned around and ran outside the venue with the tape recorder in her arms.

She had to get the interview published in the newspaper before other reporters.

.......

Back at the newspaper office, Tao Xin spent less than thirty minutes writing a 3,000-word report. She took the report to the editor-in-chief's office.

With a click, he threw the manuscript on the table: "Chief Editor Jin, this is the report I wrote. I think it can be published as a front page headline."

Jin Yong was stunned for a moment: "Tao Xin, you also know that our "Ming Pao" is no longer the same as before. We are now the most famous newspaper in Hong Kong. To appear on the front page, we must have extremely high social value and news

value."

He knew that Tao Xin was going to cover the car race today. The car race could be said to be a big event in the circle of Justices of the Peace, but for ordinary people, it was of little significance.

Can you get a guy who can't even afford the cheapest car to focus on racing? Are you kidding me?

Tao Xin raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Chief Editor, please read my manuscript."

"Ha..." Jin Yong also knew that Tao Xin was not the kind of person to talk too much. He was a little surprised, put on his glasses and started to read carefully.

After just reading two lines of words, Jin Yong couldn't help but take a breath. He raised his head and looked at Tao Xin: "Are you sure the data in the report are not exaggerated? Four hundred kilometers per hour, this speed is faster than ordinary airplanes.

Already."

Tao Xin smiled and shook his head: "Actually, I am conservative. According to Director Li, the top speed of the Orchid Racing Car can reach 525 kilometers per hour, but the upper limit of the speed measuring tool at Happy Valley is 400 kilometers per hour."

Jin Yong's expression became solemn, he picked up the manuscript and studied it carefully. It actually took him a full twenty minutes to read the article of more than 3,000 words.

"Amazing! I didn't expect that a mainland car factory could actually build such an advanced car. And, according to the factory director Liu there, graphene super batteries can not only be used in cars."

He thought for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed the printing factory: "Hey, Lao Wang, has tomorrow's newspaper been printed? What, it hasn't started printing because of the power outage. That's great. I have a new copy here.

I will ask reporter Tao Xin to send the manuscript to you immediately and publish it as a front-page headline. In addition, an additional 100,000 copies of this issue of the newspaper will be printed!"

Putting down the phone, Jin Yong looked at Tao Xin and said: "For such important news, we must be the first to do so. I have already notified the printing factory. You can send the manuscript over now. By the way, it is more than twenty miles from here to the printing factory.

You go there in my car."

With that said, Jin Yong took out a car key from the drawer and handed it to Tao Xin.

"yes!"

Tao Xin took the key and hurried out.

.......

The fast pace of Hong Kong City has begun to take shape in this era.

As soon as it gets dark in the morning, office workers walk out of their homes and go to a tea restaurant at the corner of the street to have breakfast before getting ready to start their busy day.

Of course, a copy of today's newspaper is indispensable when eating.

In addition to paying attention to the news, they also like to read the horse racing information in the hope that one day they can buy it, become rich overnight, and no longer have such a difficult life.

In the past, horse racing discussions were noisy in teahouses. Whoever happened to win would feel proud and get compliments from his peers. The more generous ones would even pay for breakfast for their colleagues.

But what the diners were talking about today was not a horse race, but a car whose name they had never heard of before.

"Speeding 500 an hour, I'm so jealous of you. What kind of car is so powerful? It's a hearse!"

"200,000 Hong Kong dollars, my dear, it's more expensive than those luxury cars."

.......

Not only in Hong Kong City, the Orchid Car was born, and it soon aroused widespread discussion around the world.

Images of it during the game were made into a VCR and played on a loop on TV.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Human beings are animals with pursuits. From the first primitive man who looked up at the stars, the pursuit of extreme speed has been engraved in the bones of human beings.

Humans also want to gallop like a cheetah, but are limited by their own body structure and can only place their hopes on external objects.

So the wheel was invented, the carriage was invented, the steam engine was invented, and the internal combustion engine was invented.

The emergence of Orchid cars has given mankind new pursuits.

On the third day after the competition, trading companies from all over the world came to visit, hoping to obtain the exclusive local agency rights of Orchid Auto.

After Wang Weidong warmly received them, he expressed his inability to help with their requests.

Although Orchid Group is temporarily unable to develop the global market, it will not hand over its lifeline to others.

Although Nanyang Company has become the agent of Orchid Group in Southeast Asia, they are only responsible for selling Orchid cars and do not have pricing power.

Zhou Lanzi felt a little frightened when she saw that Wang Weidong had rejected hundreds of millions of dollars in gifts in one morning.

She lay on Wang Weidong's chest and asked in a low voice: "Boss, we don't have the strength to take care of the North American market for the time being anyway, why not use those markets to make some money! That Smith, who owns the largest car sales company in North America, is willing to

There’s a signing fee of 20 million US dollars!”

Wang Weidong stretched out his hand to lift her hair, looked at her beautiful face, and said with a smile: "That Smith is a cannibal. As soon as our car gets into his hands, he will immediately dare to pay two million US dollars for it."

Price is for sale.

With such a high price, only the rich can afford it, and they will regard the Orchid car as a social tool rather than a means of transportation.

This goes against my original intention of founding Orchid Auto.

I hope Orchid can become the world's best-selling car, not the most expensive car."

Zhou Lanzi was stunned for a moment. She felt that she understood what Wang Weidong meant, but she didn't.

Forget it, never mind.

hey-hey.
