When the car industry was in a collective earthquake, Saito Ii also learned that the Linghang 001 car was about to hold a press conference.

At this time, his face was ugly, like a dead fly that had eaten a pound of food, and his eyes were fixed on the preview blog video in front of him.

At this moment.

He thought of a possibility.

That is, the threat that Japanese car companies such as Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi announced that they would withdraw from the Longguo market and transfer their factories to Southeast Asian countries had no effect on Longguo.

"Is it going to backfire?" Saito Ii didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to believe it.

Originally, he wanted to use the withdrawal of Japanese cars from the Longguo market to put pressure on Longxing Group, so that Chen Xing would sit down and negotiate with them and give up intervening in and sniping the island country's economy.

It really worked before, and Longguo's unemployment rate was soaring.

But what about now?

Longxing Group really made an electric car.

If the island country is a top player in fuel vehicles, then electric vehicles, it is the last student.

In the scientific and technological research and development direction announced by the island country, lithium batteries have never been deeply explored as automotive power batteries. The "new energy vehicles" they are researching are hydrogen energy.

What is hydrogen?

Those who have attended nine years of compulsory education know that water is a compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen elements, and its chemical formula is HO. Each water molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom connected by a covalent bond.

The hydrogen fuel required by hydrogen energy batteries can decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis.

The decomposed hydrogen is a colorless, odorless and insoluble gas in water at room temperature and pressure. It is extremely flammable and its calorific value is about three times that of gasoline.

So can hydrogen energy cars run?

Yes!

Is it green and environmentally friendly?

Very green and environmentally friendly!

But it has a fatal flaw, that is, the extrusion and deformation of hydrogen energy batteries does not spontaneously combust, but directly explodes.

Yes, it explodes directly!

If you say it more popularly, hydrogen energy batteries are equivalent to "hydrogen bombs". If you dare to hit it, it will explode for you to see.

This is why the West and Longguo did not choose hydrogen energy to build new energy vehicles, but chose electric energy drive.

When lithium batteries are hit, squeezed and deformed, they will spontaneously combust at most, and there is time to escape.

But hydrogen energy batteries are different. This is equivalent to detonating a bomb. Not to mention ordinary people, even the flying man Bolt will have to suffer in the northwest.

"If new energy is a major trend, we must keep up with the progress."

After thinking again and again, Saito I decided to go to Toyota Group to find out the specific research and development progress of hydrogen energy batteries.

At the same time.

After staying in a star-rated hotel in Shenzhen for nearly ten days, Miyazaki Junhui, the eldest daughter of Miyazaki Yu, the president of Neon Telegraph Communications Company, also received a call from her father.

"Okay."

"I know."

"I will continue to pay attention to the launch of the Linghang 001 car. If the sales volume meets expectations, I will immediately find Chen Xing to discuss cooperation."

Miyazaki Junhui answered very straightforwardly, without any hesitation. She knew very well what it meant for Longguo's domestic cars to stand up.

As an island country, Neon Island has extremely scarce real estate resources.

So why can it become a developed country?

You know, the Dragon Country, with its vast territory and abundant resources, is still just a developing country.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, the island country industrialized early, and its technical reserves and talent training are in the world's leading position.

After the end of S2, even if it was defeated, it did not decline, but quickly recovered and achieved industrial heavy chemical industry and economic take-off by introducing foreign patented technology and equipment.

From the 1960s to the 1970s, the average annual economic growth of the Neon Island Country exceeded 10%, becoming the world's third largest economy.

To put it more bluntly, the island country industrialized early, has technological advantages, and achieved economic growth by exporting products.

Among the products exported by the island country, automobiles account for a very large share.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the island country's automobile industry is destroyed, its foreign trade economy will collapse instantly.

Seeing that Miyazaki Junhui answered so straightforwardly, Miyazaki Xiong reminded him earnestly: "Remember, this is related to whether our family can continue to prosper."

"I understand."

Miyazaki Junhui nodded in response.

As the call ended, she came to the French window of the hotel, looking at the busy night scene below, and her heart became more and more melancholy.

How to choose between country and family?

...

When the island power was surging undercurrent, the consortiums of various Western countries held seminars to evaluate the impact of Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company's car manufacturing.

In the eyes of laymen, a car is just a car, but in the eyes of insiders, a car is not just a car, it represents the industrial level of a country.

If a country can build a car independently, then it has the ability to build airplanes, tanks, and warships.

Among the 197 sovereign countries in the world, only less than 7 can build cars independently, namely the United States, Germany, Italy, France, Japan, South Korea, and the last Dragon Country.

Needless to say, the six countries of the United States, Germany, Italy, France, Japan, and South Korea almost monopolize the global automobile market.

As for the last Dragon Country, it has only had an independent car manufacturing system in recent years, but it has no brand to show off, and domestic joint venture cars are basically the mainstream.

If Pilot Auto breaks out of the joint venture situation, no one can imagine that Longguo will not rise and become a real super industrial power.

After Davitch put his plan to falsify economic data on hold, he was not idle. As soon as he learned that Chen Xing was going to hold a car press conference, he made a video call with the two CEOs of General Motors Group and Ford Motor Group.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Davitch." General Motors CEO Noemi Paz was the first to say hello.

He is a middle-aged man with no eyebrows and a bald head. His head is a bit pointed and he looks very fierce at first glance.

"Did Mr. Darvitch come to see us for something?" Robin Gifford, CEO of Ford Motor Company, did not mince words and chose to go straight to the point.

As Longxing Group was about to hold a press conference for electric vehicles, car companies around the world were in chaos, and he was in no mood to chat with Davich.

"Good afternoon, both of you. Do you know about the Longxing Group?" Davich did not leave any ink, and directly talked about business.

"You came to us to talk about Longxing Group?"

Robin Gifford asked.

"Yes." Davich did not deny it, but asked directly: "I hope you can make a trip in person to Longguo to attend the Longxing Group's electric vehicle launch conference, and then quickly take countermeasures. "

He suffered a loss in 2014, and he didn't want to do it again in 2016.

If they could have reacted and united with Gaotong Company to kill Longxing Technology Company, there would be no Longxing Group today.

He wanted the pilot car to die in its infancy.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, General Motors CEO Noemi Paz was the first to express his position: "Since Mr. Davich has said so, I will go there myself."

To be honest, he is not optimistic about pilot cars or electric cars.

In his opinion, building a car requires the accumulation of technology. Can the cars made by three outside companies, Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company, threaten the status of established car companies?

Four words.

A fantasy!

Robyn Gifford does not look down on new car companies like Noemi Paz, but he also does not think so-called electric vehicles can replace fuel vehicles, but he still has to give them the respect they deserve.

"I will go there myself."

After getting answers from the two people, Davidic asked the most concerning question: "Do you think this new energy vehicle driven by electric energy can threaten the status of fuel vehicles?"

"cannot."

"No way."

The two unanimously rejected it, and then Robyn Gifford answered: "The internal combustion engine is the soul of the car."

"That's right." Noemi Paz quickly agreed and expressed his thoughts: "If a car loses its internal combustion engine, it is equivalent to losing its soul."

In their view, as long as they are men, they cannot refuse the roar of the engine. This is a romance that belongs only to men.

Electric cars?

It’s just a wicked way!

"That's good." With the two well-informed CEOs expressing their opinions, Davich breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Chen Xing would overturn the automotive industry again. This was the last thing he wanted to see.

…

Time flies, and with the arrival of the Longxing Shopping Festival on January 25, the connections Chen Xing accumulated began to come into play.

Taowu.com and Wangdong platforms have successively launched special promotions to give Longxing Group’s products extra traffic support.

In less than 5 minutes, the four mainstream mobile phones, Longxing X3, Geek X2, Tianyu X1 and Cuichan X2, have sold 2 billion in sales. Other accessories, such as headphones, air purifiers, air conditioners, Water purifiers also enjoy the platform’s discounts.

In addition to Taowu and Wangdong platforms, ByteDance’s Douyin platform has thoughtfully created promotional pop-ups for the Longxing Shopping Festival. All users who click on Douyin must watch at least 1 second of advertisements before entering the software.

In addition, Penguin also created pop-up ads on mobile QQ. You must watch the 1-second ad before you can enter the list.

Under the overwhelming publicity on the entire Internet, the concept of Longxing Shopping Festival has gradually been "implanted" into the brains of users.

Don’t think it’s an exaggeration. You must know that Double 11, Double 12, and March 8th Goddess Day are all concepts deliberately created by the online shopping platform itself.

Take Double 11 Singles’ Day as an example. Before the shopping platform had a hundred flowers blooming, who knew that Singles’ Day was originally on November 11?

Another example is Women’s Day on March 8th. In order to make girls happy, people even changed the name of the holiday and turned it directly into Women’s Day. They just want girls to buy and buy. On this day, facial masks, cosmetics, and bags is the best seller.

While users are buying and buying, there are also countless netizens waiting for news.

You must know that some time ago, Longxing Group issued a document saying that it would hold a press conference for Linghang Auto on January 25.

Now almost half a month has passed, and the venue of the press conference has not even been announced. Everyone is speculating whether it is a pigeon.

At this time, millions of people gathered in the Square on the Weibo platform for discussion.

[Invincible Kitten]: "It's January 25th. When will Mr. Chen hold a press conference? I want to buy a pink car!"

[Society Your Brother Mao]: "It's been ten days, and the official blog has not updated the progress. Could it be that the childbirth is difficult and there are no plans to hold a press conference?"

[I am God]: "Mr. Chen, please don't pigeonhole me. I gave my dad 1 million gold coins to buy your car!"

[Second Brother of the Street Group]: "Fuck, 1 million gold coins, Brother Fu, look at me, I am willing to be your little car~"

In the discussion of netizens, the entry "Linghang Automobile Failed?" appeared in the top 30 of the hot search list, which also made Yao Nana urgently inform Chen Xing beside her of the situation.

Headquarters of Longxing Group.

Office building.

In the office area of ​​the marketing department, Chen Xing and members of the marketing department are waiting for the sales data and net profit of the Longxing Shopping Festival for one hour.

The current Longxing Group is not as big as before. It can be said to be a big family.

There are four series of mobile phones: Longxing, Geek, Tianyu, and Brilliant.

Home appliances include air conditioners, water purifiers, dishwashers, water heaters, TVs, humidifiers, air purifiers, sweeping robots, etc.

Digital accessories also include sports bracelets, Bluetooth headsets, noise reduction headphones, wireless chargers, mobile phone cases, mobile phone films, etc.

In addition to physical products, Longxing Group also sells insurance products.

For example, mobile phone insurance, home appliance insurance, personal safety accident insurance, major medical insurance, critical illness insurance, travel insurance, etc.

It is no exaggeration to say that the products under the current Longxing Group can be said to cover all aspects of life.

"Dinglingling——"

The alarm clock rang.

"The 1-hour data is out." The employee in charge of the data raised the volume to remind.

"How much?"

Chen Xing asked hurriedly.

"The total sales of the official stores on the two mainstream shopping platforms in 1 hour was 20.3 billion, and the net profit was about 6.9 billion."

"Not bad."

Chen Xing had a bottom line in his heart.

Without launching new products, subsidies alone can create tens of billions of revenue. Apart from Longxing Group, which other companies can do it?

If there is heat, it is natural to use it. Chen Xing looked at Yao Nana and said, "Announce the time of the press conference and get the heat up."

"Understood."

Yao Nana nodded.

After receiving specific instructions, she personally sat in the operation position, sent the manuscripts that had been prepared long ago, and immediately contacted the official operations of multiple platforms to let them manually provide traffic support.

"Ding Dong!"

At this moment.

Countless fans who follow the official blog of Longxing Group have popped up new blog post notifications on the notification bar above their phones.

Not only Weibo, but also Toutiao, Penguin Views, and Douyin short videos with the largest traffic have popped up update notifications.

Clicking on the update notification, the copy content is very short, only 6 words.

[Today, ready to go! ]

The short copy is also equipped with a video, which is only 4 minutes long.

Clicking on the video, a pair of car lights suddenly lit up in the originally dark screen, and then the surrounding lights lit up one by one.

"Boom--"

With only a roar of the engine, the pilot 001 car drove out of the garage, and the video camera immediately gave a bird's-eye view. From the bird's-eye view, it was in a closed racing venue.

The moment it entered the race road, the speed began to soar.

30 kilometers.

70 kilometers.

100 kilometers.

Gradually, vehicles from other competitors appeared in front of us. The first one was BYD, the second one was Honda, the third one was Toyota, the fourth one was Mercedes-Benz, and the fifth one was BMW...

The camera turned and the competitors' cars were in a fierce chase with Linghang 001. One car after another was overtaken by Linghang 001 and left far behind.

At the moment of crossing the finish line, it can be clearly seen that the speed of Linghang 001 is as high as 310 kilometers per hour, far exceeding the maximum speed of ordinary cars.

"Squeak"

The tires rubbed against the ground, leaving a long tire mark.

After a handsome drift parking, the main driver's door slowly opened, and a man in a racing suit walked out of the car. The video camera immediately gave a close-up.

He took off his helmet, revealing his handsome face, and said to the camera: "Hello everyone, I am Chen Xing. At 2 pm on January 25, at the Shenzhen International Racing Circuit, I will hold the launch conference of the Pilot 001 car here, and evaluate the performance and special features of this car through live broadcast. Let's meet there."

Continuous warm-up, and finally set the launch venue at the Shenzhen International Racing Circuit, even a fool knows what Chen Xing wants to do.

Shenzhen Huaqiangbei.

Lin Xiaolong watched the video and said with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Chen, you are going to cross the industry to kill me, and you even do the evaluation yourself!"

But he also had to admire that Chen Xing's move was really amazing.

The most difficult thing for new car companies to guarantee is product quality, and domestic car owners are really scared by the uneven quality of domestic cars.

But what about Chen Xing?

No tricks, self-evaluation on the spot!

This is equivalent to being a review anchor, showing the advantages and disadvantages of the vehicle to the audience without any waves.

What is this called?

Absolute confidence!

"Ding!"

When Lin Xiaolong was about to cry, a text message popped up on his phone.

[Hello, Mr. Lin, we, Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Dami Company sincerely invite you to attend the "2016 Linghang 001 Automobile Launch Conference" and witness the launch of the first domestically produced new energy vehicle with you. You can send "1" to confirm within 8 hours of receiving the text message. ]

"Fuck!"

"Invite me!"

Lin Xiaolong was very surprised and immediately replied "1", and then quickly found out what clothes he should wear tomorrow.

Since it is a racing track, the stands are also dangerous. Chen Xing did not sell tickets to the public, but took the approach of internal invitations to invite celebrities from all walks of life.

…

12 hours passed in the blink of an eye.

At noon.

The sun is not as hot as in summer, because its presence dispels the cold of winter and makes the earth warm.

At this moment, the Shenzhen International Racing Circuit is full of people outside the field.

In order to avoid congestion and stampedes, police officers came to the scene to maintain order.

The traffic police also implemented regional traffic control on the way to the Shenzhen International Racing Circuit, guiding social vehicles to bypass the relevant sections.

In order to find out, a large number of car company CEOs appeared one after another.

BYD CEO, Wang Fu.

SAIC Group CEO, Chen Hong.

GAC Group CEO, Zeng Hong.

In addition to domestic car company CEOs, foreign car company CEOs also arrived.

BMW Group CEO Nagel, Mercedes-Benz Group CEO Olaf Reiter, Audi Group CEO Dussmeier, Honda Group CEO Otaki Kazuki, Toyota Group CEO Saikawa Takahiro all arrived at the scene.

Even Tesla Group CEO Masick, a competitor of new energy vehicles, came to the Shenzhen International Racing Circuit.

It is no exaggeration to say that this new car launch event brought together decision-makers from the entire automobile manufacturing industry.

"It's Chen Hong, the CEO of SAIC Group!"

"I'm not mistaken, Masik is here too, as is Wang Fu from BYD. That guy seems to be a little bastard from the island country, could he be Otaki Ikki, the CEO of Honda Group?"

"That's him, he spoke at the last car exchange forum!"

"Nagel, Olaf Zeit, Robien Gifford and Noemi Paz are all here, my goodness, all the bigwigs in the entire car industry are here to watch the launch of the Pilot 001 car offline, it's so impressive!"

The audience around them exclaimed when they saw so many bigwigs in the car industry gathered, and took photos and posted them on WeChat Moments.

At the same time.

The horror of "huge purchase volume" is allowing the Pilot 001 car to dominate the entire Dragon Country Internet, and the front-page headlines of countless events are ruthlessly washing the eyes of netizens.

"There are only 40 minutes left before the launch of the Linghang 001 car. More than 20 car company CEOs have gathered at the Shenzhen International Speed ​​Racing Circuit. Can Linghang 001 hold the whole venue? "

"The launch of Linghang 001 is about to be held. Electric-powered cars VS fuel-powered cars, who will be better? "

"Has the solid-state battery been successfully developed? Has there been a new breakthrough in the safety of lithium batteries? Can electric cars replace fuel cars? Who will have the last laugh at this launch? "

"Under the crazy posting of marketing accounts and water armies, the topic of "Electric Cars VS Fuel Cars" also appeared on the Weibo hot search list along with "Linghang 001 Launch Conference", with a popularity of over 170 million, equivalent to tens of millions of people paying attention.

The live broadcast room of the official blog of Longxing Group was also opened when the popularity was the highest.

In an instant.

A large number of viewers poured in.

"Has the press conference started?"

"Damn, you don't know how terrifying it was offline just now. The big guys in the entire automotive industry are here. I don't know if Mr. Chen can withstand the pressure and reshuffle the automotive field!"

"If you don't understand, ask, where is Mr. Chen? Where is my male god Mr. Chen?"

"I like the appearance of Linghang 001 very much. As long as the configuration is not particularly lagging and the price is not particularly expensive, I can still support one."

"I'll tell you the number, 99,000, go to the link!"

"99,000, do you think it's a fake? 99,000 can only buy a low-end commuter car, and it's basically impossible to buy a coupe."

The barrage kept coming out, and the number of people in the live broadcast room kept increasing. In less than 10 minutes, it had reached 970,000 people, only 30,000 away from 1 million online viewers.

In the underground garage of Shenzhen International Speed ​​Racing Circuit, Chen Xing was wearing a red competition suit and holding a competition helmet in his right hand.

Although Linghang 001 is not a professionally designed sports car, he mentioned at the beginning of the design that it should be given certain sports car performance.

In other words, the Pilot 001 is a vehicle between a family sedan and a sports coupe.

"Is Mr. Chen ready?" asked the staff of the Shenzhen International Speed ​​Racing Circuit, and then he reminded: "Turn right after you drive out of the garage and enter the track. The end of a lap is the speech venue you arranged."

"By the way."

He thought of something again, looked at the short boy on the side and said: "His name is Ajie, he is your guide. If you accidentally drive into other tracks, he can help guide you out."

"Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Hello."

The two shook hands, and after a brief familiarity, Ajie looked at the time and said: "There are 25 minutes to 2 o'clock. Mr. Chen, your press conference is not at 2 o'clock, we should set off."

"Okay."

Chen Xing responded, put on a fully wrapped safety helmet with a dragon totem printed on it, and then sat in the main driver's seat.

Ajie trotted to the co-pilot, quickly opened the door and sat in.

"Bang Bang——"

The door closed.

The moment Chen Xing started the car, the staff of Shenzhen International Speed ​​Racing Circuit made a gesture to start the journey.

Ajie was afraid that Chen Xing didn't understand, so he held the handrail above the car door with his right hand and quickly reminded him: "You can start, Mr. Chen."
