Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"The open-air conference venue is also set up at the Shenzhen International Speedway. What trick is Chen Xing trying to play?"

"I want a real test. It seems that he is particularly confident in Pilot 001."

"I have admired Mr. Takahiro Saikawa for a long time, but I didn't expect that the number one leader of the Toyota Group would also come here. I am Nagel, the CEO of the BMW Group, whom I met at the last exchange forum."

"Hello."

"It's almost 2 p.m., why hasn't Chen Xing shown up yet?"

At the terminal of Line 1 of the Shenzhen International Speedway, the big names in the racing circle gathered in the stands to bask in the warm winter sun.

In the open space on the opposite side of the runway, a temporary podium has been set up, and a three-in-one super large LED screen is showing live audience comments in the live broadcast room.

At first glance, it feels a bit like an open-air concert.

"The press conference was held at the racing track. This guy Chen Xing is really good at it." Ren Guofei glanced around at the guests who came to the scene and couldn't help but sigh at the influence of Longxing Group.

Not only all the CEOs of domestic car companies arrived, but most of the top leaders of foreign car companies were also present. This is not something that ordinary companies can do. Only Longxing Group has this strength.

Of course, it's not because they want to save Chen Xing's face, but because they are too afraid.

You must know that 2014 was only two years away from 2016, and Longxing Group's market value soared from one billion to today's trillion market value. Who dares to despise this technology giant?

to be honest.

These people are afraid that fuel vehicles will be replaced.

"Lao Lei, Mr. Ren, please tell me what the battery life of Pilot 001 is. If it has 800 kilometers, I will build one for fun." Luo Hao smiled playfully, thinking of getting some useful information in advance.

"It's 800 kilometers, but you'll know the exact amount later."

Rebus gave it a try.

Only four people, Chen Xing, Rebus, Ren Guofei, and Hua Ming, knew the specific parameters of the Linghang 001 car. The other workers responsible for production only knew one, but not the other.

"Solid-state batteries are no joke." Ren Guofei smiled.

"Is there really a solid-state battery?"

Not only Luo Hao, but also other bosses, such as Duan Yongping, Chen Yong, and Wang Fu, all looked surprised.

The CEOs of car companies who were far away, such as Chen Hong, the CEO of SAIC Motor, and Zeng Hong, the CEO of Guangzhou Automobile Group, their ears almost stood up like antennas, and they didn't hear what Ren Guofei and Rebus were saying.

Anyone who has attended nine years of compulsory education knows that even if the volume of speech in open areas and indoor environments is the same, the listening experience will be different.

This is because the ambient sound in open areas is relatively loud, which will weaken the sound of people's speech. For example, if a gust of wind blows, your ears will have a whistling sound, and naturally you will not be able to hear clearly what others are saying.

"Did you hear anything?"

Masik suddenly spoke and looked towards the bend in the distance.

"sound?"

Olaf Zeit followed his gaze, shook his head and said, "Except for the sound of the wind, I didn't hear anything."

"No, there is!"

Nishikawa Takahiro suddenly stood up and looked at the curve in the distance.

It was the last curve into the straight runway, and because of the barrier of the crash wall, the road conditions on one side of the runway could not be seen.

"It sounds like an engine?"

he added.

"Engine sound?"

"Is there a competition?"

"It's impossible. The Longxing Group should take over the entire racing track. What if they break into a few racing cars from time to time?"

"It makes sense, could it be..."

While the foreign car company CEOs were talking, they stood up one after another and looked at the curve in the distance.

Seeing this, the bosses of domestic car companies also stood up one after another.

"What are they doing?"

"I do not know."

"Is it because your butt hurts from sitting?"

Luo Hao was originally joking with Duan Yongping, but Rebus and Ren Guofei looked at each other and said in unison: "It's coming."

"What's coming?"

Luo Hao blurted out the question.

At this time, the main camera photographer also locked onto the bend, and the drone in the sky also began to transmit the footage in real time, but the director was not in a hurry to switch the perspective of the drone shooting.

"boom--"

As time went by, the roar got closer and closer, and everyone focused on the curve, not daring to miss a single detail.

"Out!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

Before the sound fell, the side face of the car appeared first from the corner.

"Fuck! Drifting???"

"Playing so handsome?"

"The Pilot 001 car is here, cool!"

"So handsome, holy shit!!!"

Not only the guests at the scene exclaimed, but the audience in the live broadcast room also kept exclaiming and kept making comments in the live broadcast room.

No one expected that Pilot 001 would appear in this way. It is simply more handsome than the AE86 drainage channel when cornering.

After the curve, it's a straight line.

"boom--"

There was another roar of the engine, and the speed of Pilot 001 began to soar.

In just the blink of an eye, it was already close to the finish line.

It was too late, but it was too soon. Pilot 001 did not cross the line as usual, but began to slow down. At the moment when it was about to cross the finish line, the rear of the car began to swing, and there was a handsome drift and sliding stop.

Looking at the four long tire scratches on the runway, Ren Guofei looked at Rebus and joked: "This kid is so handsome."

"Let him pretend."

Rebus smiled in response.

Luo Hao listened to the conversation between the two and vaguely guessed the identity of the driver.

While everyone was talking and reporters were taking photos frantically, the driver's door slowly opened.

this moment.

All shots are locked at the first moment.

The man in red racing uniform who got off the car slowly took off his helmet, revealing his sunny and handsome features, and greeted the camera: "Good afternoon, dear viewers, I am Chen Xing."

"???"

"???"

"???"

The moment Chen Xing's face appeared, the audience who came to the scene collectively raised questions. They thought the car was driven by a professional racing driver, but they did not expect it to be Chen Xing.

"It's nice to be young."

Wang Fu smiled helplessly.

As the CEO of a car-making company, he also has a dream of racing, but if you want him to drive a fast car with his old bones, I'm sorry, I will overturn the car in a minute.

"Chen Xing really tricked him!"

Luo Hao couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It's really handsome. You need to learn how to do that drift parking thing for half a year, right?" Duan Yongping looked at Rebus and Ren Guofei. Pilot Automobile is a joint venture between three companies, and these two people should know the inside information.

"No, there is a special mode." Rebus broke the news in advance.

"Special mode?"

Duan Yongping looked confused.

Seeing this, Ren Guofei also replied: "Leader 001 does have a drift mode, and novices can be cool and show off."

Duan Yongping: "..."

Wang Fu: "..."

Luo Hao: "..."

After hearing the "drift mode", they finally understood why Chen Xing could drift so smoothly. It turned out to be "cheating".

But one thing to say, they have to admit that the drifting and side parking are really cool.

Not only the guests at the scene exclaimed, but the audience in the live broadcast room went crazy, and the barrage seemed to cover the screen.

"Mr. Chen! It's Mr. Chen!!!"

"No, drifting through corners, side braking, these are actually Mr. Chen's driving skills. I actually thought he was an F1 racing driver!"

"It's so handsome. Whether it's drifting or side parking, I can give you full marks. I suggest Mr. Chen to participate in a racing competition immediately!"

"I finally understand the saying that a man remains a boy until he dies. It's not that he doesn't like playing with toys when he grows up, but that toys become more expensive!"

"The body lines, tires, wheels, and front face of Pilot 001 are all so beautiful. I feel that Mr. Chen's move has fully demonstrated the performance of the car. The price of this car is at least 500,000, or even 700,000. possible!"

"If you don't understand, just ask, isn't the car powered by electricity? Why does the engine sound when accelerating?"

Chen Xing's appearance has made the entire Internet excited. Not only are barrages popping up in the live broadcast room, but the entry "Chen Xing Drifting Appearance" has also been on the hot search list, and it has landed at the top of the list.

Marketing accounts also use text to attract traffic immediately.

"Handsome and striking, Chen Xing drifted around corners to appear at the new car launch conference. The only one who can compete with him may be the AE86 from Qiu Mingshan!" 》

"Shock! The billionaire boss actually raced in front of everyone. Is this a loss of morality or a lack of law? 》

"unbelievable! New energy vehicles actually make noise like fuel vehicles. Is electric energy really better than fuel? 》

One after another eye-catching marketing account articles have attracted people to go to the official live broadcast room of Longxing Group.

3 million people.

5 million people.

7 million people.

Since it was daytime and afternoon, a large number of netizens had quite a lot of time and did not need to stay up late. The student party was also paying attention.

Not only that, users are constantly entering the live broadcast room of Longxing Group’s official account on Douyin.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are at least tens of millions of Dragon Kingdom netizens paying attention to this live broadcast, and the traffic is terrifying!

…

Shenzhen International Racing Circuit.

Facing the camera, Chen Xing walked out of the runway, walked onto the podium set up on one side, and said hello again: "Good afternoon everyone, welcome to the new car launch conference of Pilot 001."

"Pah, pah, pah—"

The guests present immediately applauded.

Amidst the baptism of applause, Chen Xing took out the LED screen remote control from his pocket and pressed the center button directly.

The next second.

The live broadcast on the LED screen disappeared and was replaced by a PPT page.

[Pilot car. ]

[Leader of electric vehicles. ]

The moment these two sentences appeared on the screen, the audience looked at Masik, wanting to see his reaction.

However, Masik was still confused. He didn't know Chinese.

However, he was wearing a translator. After waiting for a two-second delay in the live broadcast, the employee in charge of translation quickly translated: "Pioneer Car, the leader of electric vehicles."

"???"

"leader???"

"Where did you put my Tesla?"

Masik's heart suddenly surged, and his expression became a little unnatural, but he disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"That's too crazy. Leaders of electric vehicles, Mr. Lei and Mr. Ren, what kind of black technology have you created?" Luo Hao was so curious that he felt like a cat was scratching his heart.

"You'll find out later."

"That's right."

The two still chose to keep it secret.

Wang Fu, Chen Hong, Zeng Hong and other domestic car company CEOs have already discovered the clues, that is, the drift of Pilot 001 when it comes out and the sideslip when parking indicate its overall performance.

Because if there is a problem with the overall workmanship of your vehicle, it is very likely that it will roll over if you do it violently.

"It seems that the overall structure has been optimized very well, but wanting to be the leader of electric vehicles is not that simple." Chen Hong's eyes flashed with jealousy, and he began to expect something unexpected to happen.

For car companies, no, or for any industry, they don’t like outsiders coming in to disrupt the situation.

Originally, our joint venture cars sold well, but now that the Pilot 001 car has come out, it is impossible to say that we are not opposed to it.

In the eyes of the original car company bosses, Chen Xing, Ren Guofei, and Rebus were disruptors and those who undermined their interests.

Chen Xing, who had already stood on the podium, did not have the ability to read minds and did not know what the audience was thinking. When the applause subsided slightly, he went straight to the point and said:

"In 1766, British inventor Watt improved the steam engine."

"In 1769, French army engineer Cournot built the first steam engine-powered automobile."

"In 1867, German engineer Otto built the world's first reciprocating piston four-stroke engine."

“In 1885, German Carl Benz purchased Otto’s patent and installed an internal combustion engine and an accelerator on a three-wheeled carriage. On January 29, 1886, he applied for the first three-cylinder automobile patent. The day is recognized as the birth day of modern automobiles.”

"130 years have passed since 1886!"

Chen Xing talked about the history of automobile development without any pressure, and after bringing the audience into the rhythm of his speech, he continued to speak with great emotion:

"The emergence of automobiles has changed the way we travel, but the West has also built unbreakable patent barriers for us."

"To this day, we are still struggling in the field of fuel vehicles."

"but!"

Suddenly, Chen Xing's tone increased and he changed the topic: "There is no end to the road, new energy vehicles driven by electric energy are coming!"

The words fell.

The PPT page was switched and turned, and the tire parameters appeared first.

“By saying all this, I am not asking everyone to boycott fuel vehicles, but I want to say that it is really not easy for car companies in Longguo. Maybe starting from today, we can change the past dilemma of making cars. Let’s get back to the topic. Let’s take a look at the vehicle first. parameter."

Chen Xing glanced at the content on the LED screen behind him and continued:

"As you can see, the tire size of the front tire of Pilot 001 is 245/35R21, while the rear tire is 265/35R21."

"Why is it designed like this?"

"The reason is actually very simple. The front tire tread width of 245 mm already provides sufficient ground contact area, which can ensure good grip when turning and braking."

"The tread width of the rear wheel is 265 mm, which can further enhance the grip of the rear wheel, especially during acceleration and high-speed driving. Wider tires can provide better traction and make the vehicle more stable."

“The design of different widths of the front and rear wheels helps optimize the vehicle’s cornering stability. The relatively narrow front wheels help reduce resistance during steering and improve steering sensitivity, while the wider rear wheels provide better steering stability. Good lateral support reduces roll when cornering, making the vehicle more stable.”

"To put it simply, Linghang 001 can give you a different kind of driving pleasure in addition to daily transportation to buy groceries. This is a big toy that belongs to you."

"Pah, pah, pah—"

The moment Chen Xing finished speaking, the audience burst into applause again.

The audience in the live broadcast room was not idle either. After listening to Chen Xing's narration, they also began to send comments to express their opinions.

"The amount of information is too much. When traveling to buy groceries, you can take into account both sports performance and driving pleasure. Doesn't this mean that the car won't be too expensive?"

"Grocery cart? You call this a grocery cart?"

"The design of this tire size shows that Chen always takes into account some young people. After all, if conditions permit, who doesn't like to drift and drift?"

"Just what Mr. Chen said, I think I can win 500,000 yuan!"

The appearance of the four words "transportation to buy groceries" is doomed that the price of Linghang 001 will not be too expensive. This is what Chen Xing inadvertently revealed to the audience.

On the other hand, looking at the stands of the Shenzhen International Speedway, many managers have begun to frown and feel a little uneasy.

When Chen Xing was racing on stage just now, he thought that Linghang 001 was positioned as a luxury coupe, which would cost at least 1 million yuan to start.

But now you are talking about daily transportation?

What kind of car is used for daily transportation?

Any car with a price tag of less than RMB 100,000 can be called a daily mobility scooter.

why would you say so?

Because for a car under 100,000 yuan, it cannot take into account too many things. It either lacks power or the suspension is not good.

However, if you want to drift, you can still do it, but it requires extremely high driving skills to cooperate.

"The front is narrow and the rear is wide, and the design is more sporty. Isn't it actually a coupe? Or are you trying to fool us, Chen Xing?" Kazuki Otaki, the head of the Honda Group, murmured to himself.

"Is this a daily scooter or a coupe?" Masik also had questions.

You might call it a daily mobility scooter, but it will give you some sports attributes, and it can also drift around corners and brake sideways.

You said it was a coupe, but Chen Xing also said it was a daily grocery shopping cart. For a while, people were confused about the attribute positioning of Linghang 001. Is it an ordinary daily grocery shopping cart, a high-end coupe, or a civilian-level coupe?

When everyone was confused, Chen Xing pressed the remote control in his hand and said: "After talking about the size, let's talk about the material of the tire."

"The tires of Linghang 001 were jointly developed by Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Da Mi Company, and are called Super Wear 1st Generation."

"What supermodel?"

The moment the words fell, the audience in the live broadcast room exploded again. Many people misunderstood "super grinder" as "super model". Chen Xing seemed to have expected it and hurriedly explained.

"It's a polish, don't get me wrong."

"Hahaha."

It was okay if he didn’t explain it, but once he explained it, the audience couldn’t help but laugh.

Luo Hao even looked at Rebus and Ren Guofei, and couldn't help but joke: "Who on earth chose the name, Super Grinding Generation 1? If you don't know, I'd think you developed it in a bar!"

"Ask Mr. Lei."

Ren Guofei cast a helpless look.

"Isn't it super wear-resistant? It's very appropriate to name it Super Wear Generation 1." Rebus spread his hands and said innocently.

"I can only say that Mr. Lei is worthy of being you. Other tires can't be remembered even if they spend tens of millions of dollars in advertising, but when you show off your super wear, even I will remember it." Wang Fu, BYD's boss, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. thumb.

In the past, he had always heard people in the industry say, don't compete with Rebus in marketing, you can't beat him, but now it's true.

After all, who would have thought that the "supermodel" is not in the car, but under the car, and is ruthlessly ravaged by the driver every day.

After Chen Xing on the stage simply explained that he was not a "supermodel", he pressed the remote control again, and the new tire technology also popped up on the LED screen.

"Although our first-generation super-wear tires have a unique name, they are really powerful inside. It not only has RFID chip tracking technology, but also implants radio frequency identification chips into the tire sidewalls to track and collect tire data in real time to ensure driving safety, and There is also an automatic repair function.”

"???"

As soon as the automatic repair came out, the audience watching the live broadcast and the car company CEOs at the scene were confused again.

"Automatic tire repair?"

"Mr. Chen, don't tell me, the tires are getting thicker and thicker, and the tires are getting better as they are opened. This goes against common sense!"

"Why do I feel like Mr. Chen is deceiving me?"

“Automatically repairing tires, does that mean we don’t have to buy tires anymore?”

Why is the cost of using a car expensive?

In addition to using fuel or electricity, a car also needs daily maintenance and necessary tire replacement.

Generally speaking, a brand-new tire needs to be replaced after 60,000 kilometers. If not replaced in time, the smooth surface will easily slip when encountering waterlogged roads.

Ordinary tires cost three to four hundred yuan a piece, and replacing four wheels costs more than a thousand yuan.

If you want to replace Michelin tires, then the price of one tire will be 700 to 800 yuan, and the more expensive ones can even exceed 10,000 yuan!

Chen Xing, who was on the podium, looked at the surprised expressions of the CEOs of his fellow businessmen and could naturally guess what they were thinking, so he joked to himself:

"Don't get me wrong, the self-healing of the first generation of super wear does not mean that the tires will not be worn or damaged, but that small cracks and holes generated during driving can be repaired by themselves."

He then continued: "This is because we spray a layer of specially formulated polymer memory rubber on the inside of the tire. When the tire is penetrated by foreign objects, such as nails, the pressure inside the tire will prompt this layer of sealant to quickly wrap the foreign object. And it covers a large area of ​​tire shoulder area, thus effectively repairing about 80% of damage caused by sharp objects such as screws.”

"The summary is that small scratches will cause limited damage to our tires and can better extend the service life of the tires."

"good!"

The audience has already begun to applaud.

Tires all have black technology, but other configurations of the car might not?

Both the audience at the scene and the audience in the live broadcast room are increasingly looking forward to the in-depth introduction of the Pilot 001 car.

Yet on the other side.

France, Clermont-Ferrand.

In the Michelin headquarters building, CEO Michel Rollier's face dropped, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Tire self-healing technology? Isn't this our "Selfseal self-healing tire technology"?"

He never expected that his own company would be the first to be affected by the "immortal war" between Longxing Group and other car companies.

"Selfseal Self-Repairing Tire Technology" was originally planned to be released by Michelin in mid-2016, but unexpectedly it was ruthlessly registered.

"hateful!"

"hateful!"

"Damn Longxing Group!"

Michel Rollier is already furious. What he feels now is that the three "street gangs" Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company are looking for fights with other car companies, and they are slapped when they encounter "Michelin" on the roadside.
