Chapter 459: Unable to Reduce Price, Unable to Restrict, Unable to Resist
"Fuck!"
"Holy shit!"
“Are you crazy, this price?”
When the price of 209,000 appeared, the audience at the press conference all stood up, their eyes shining with disbelief.
I thought it was a million dollar coupe, but now you tell me that you can drive it home for less than 210,000?
"Crazy, crazy, Chen Xing is crazy, no one can beat him at this price!" Chen Hong, the boss of SAIC Group, completely surrendered and muttered in a deep voice.
Masik, who was at the entrance to the second-floor stands, saw the price of the standard version of Pilot 001, and his whole body was in a state of shock.
"209,000 dragon national currency, this is crazy, this is not about entering the automotive field, but about overturning the entire automotive field!"
He didn't expect the price at all, even if it was just the standard version.
Self-repairing top-grade tires, 120-degree polymer semi-solid battery, 850 kilometers of extreme endurance, 2000 MPa vehicle structural strength, zero to zero acceleration in 2.81 seconds, and equipped with L3 level unmanned autonomous driving. Even if you take out one of these configurations alone, It is enough to become a promotional selling point for other competitors’ new cars.
But what did Chen Xing say?
Pack it all up and take away 209,000!
Turn over the table?
This is no longer just flipping the table!
This is a thorough and original price war, the purpose is to tap the foundation of global car companies and friends!
"hiss!"
Kazuki Ohtaki, the CEO of Honda Group, looked at the price and pinched his thigh so hard that the pain instantly spread throughout his body.
"It's true!"
"It's not a dream!"
“This price is real!”
Otaki Kazuki admitted that he was already panicking. He did not expect Chen Xing to be so rude and would not even try to test him. He would kill other businessmen as soon as he came up and rush to kill other businessmen.
"Baga!"
"Price war? Damn it!"
"Damn it!!!"
The CEOs of Mitsubishi Group, Nissan Motor Group, and Honda Group all broke their defenses one after another. No one could have expected that Chen Xing would offer this price. This was completely a "nuclear bomb of commercial war."
BMW Group CEO Nagel, Mercedes-Benz Group CEO Olaf Leiter, Audi Group CEO Dusmaier, and General Motors CEO Noemi Paschal also lost their gentlemanly demeanor and were all cursing.
They thought it was a million-level coupe, but they didn't expect it to be a million-level performance coupe priced at 200,000 yuan.
Can't play!
They really can't play anymore this time!
And at the same time.
other side.
Across the ocean, New York, USA.
Davich, who had been following the live broadcast, also broke through. The coffee cup in his hand was thrown to the ground, and brown coffee liquid flowed all over the floor.
"It's 209,000 Dragon National Coins. The standard version of Pilot 001 is only sold for 209,000 Dragon National Coins. Damn Chen Xing, he's trying his old trick again and muddying the market!"
Davidic gritted his teeth and looked fierce, wishing he could eat Chen Xing alive.
If Chen Xing is really served to the dinner table, he can really guarantee that he will transform into a five-star gourmet Hannibal!
But they don't want to go abroad at all, so they won't give him this opportunity.
"Trying the same old trick again? Is there no way to deal with it?" At this time, sitting not far from Davich, wearing a corset vest, with an all-seeing eye tattooed on his chest, and wearing European and American style heavy makeup, the coquettish girl the woman asked.
The history of the Longxing Group's fortune, the twists and turns and crises it has experienced, are basically known to the members of the All-Inspection Commission by heart.
The so-called repeating the same old trick is to first use "quantity" to open up the market.
For example, the 2014 Longxing X1 mobile phone, priced at 1,599 yuan, perfectly served as a stepping stone for Chen Xing, completely opening the Longguo mobile phone market to Longxing Group.
Assuming that the price at that time was not 1,599, but 2,999 yuan, then it is very likely that the friendly merchants would be the first to start a price war.
At that time, except for rice phones, the net profit of a mobile phone from other competitors was about 30%-40%. The premium was very serious, which also meant that there was ample room for decline.
Once the Longxing X1 is priced at 2,999 yuan, people can sell the new flagship priced at 4,000 yuan or even 5,000 yuan directly at 1,999 yuan and cut off the Longxing X1's escape route.
Why is it said that Longxing X1 can be cut off?
It's very simple, because you ordered 2999 yuan, you can't lower it to 1999 yuan in a short period of time to compete with them. This involves the price guarantee issue of the previous batch of purchasers.
This is also why Chen Xing insisted on pricing the product at 1,599 yuan, in order to open the door to the market and prevent his eager friends from starting a price war.
You know, based on the original configuration of the Longxing X1 and the configurations of mobile phones from other manufacturers, they could only kill Chen Xing if they priced the new flagship at 999 yuan.
Do they dare to follow?
They didn't dare to go out and play hard.
Because of this, the Rice Company, Kunpeng Company, Iron Hammer Company, and Blue and Green Factory at that time did not end up in a price war with the Longxing Group, because the bosses of these friendly businessmen knew very well that they would most likely not be able to beat Chen Xing. If the price of mobile phones is set too low, they will have no room to operate.
Now that Chen Xing is repeating his old tricks, Davich can finally understand the helplessness of Ren Guofei, Rebus, Luo Hao and others.
With a million-level coupe configuration and a price of 209,000, how can this be so popular with Chen Xing?
Is it possible that top luxury cars such as the BMW M4, McLaren, Ferrari, and Maybach have lowered their status to engage in a price war with the Pilot 001?
This is simply impossible!
Once they choose to cut prices, the brand's premium is wiped clean.
People buy Maybach, Ferrari, and Lamborghini just to show off their superiority and attract the attention of passers-by and the opposite sex. If the streets are full of people with one, who would be envious?
Unable to lower the price, unable to restrict, unable to fight, Davich took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily, and said seriously: "Chen Xing is too scheming and has a very far-sighted vision. He has almost blocked all the points we can use to target Pilot 001. "
Price, floor price.
Performance, far ahead.
The most important thing is that Linghang 001 also has L3 level unmanned autonomous driving, which is a feature that Chen Xing has told the world to help people with severe amputations drive again.
Once brutal means are used to ban it, the relevant groups will definitely be dissatisfied, and there may be another demonstration by then.
"Then let him attack the car market?" the enchanting woman asked in confusion.
Davidic glanced at her and said solemnly: "Now that things have happened, I can only let your Angsa Consortium cooperate with my father's actions. I hope you can suppress Chen Xing."
The Angsa consortium represents the traditional manufacturing industry, while the Jewish consortium represents the financial industry.
What Longxing Group is now attacking is the traditional manufacturing industry controlled by the Angsa Consortium. Due to emotions and reasons, they should not sit idly by.
"I'll try my best."
The enchanting woman took a sip of coffee.
As a senior executive of the Angsa Consortium, she knew very well that the senior executives of Angsa had always wanted to use Chen Xing to disrupt the power of the Jewish consortium and thus take the opportunity to take over the financial industry in the United States.
But now it seems that there is no choice. If Angsa does not contribute, the Jewish power may not be disintegrated, but the US economy will collapse first.
The two waves of people have cooperated several times in the past, but both sides have spared their efforts and do not like each other. Now, they can only cooperate in depth.
at the same time.
Capitol Hill in the United States.
The emergency meeting bell was rung, and all members rushed to the chamber.
Renato Marotta, who was sitting in the main seat, had a gloomy face. He had realized that Chen Xing was frantically trying to pilot 001 "Diejia". It was very likely that this car would be launched in the US market in the future, which made him have to be cautious. treat.
"What happened?"
asked the congresswoman who arrived first.
"Take a seat first. In this emergency meeting, we are going to revise the import and export regulations for complete automobiles. The relevant bills must be passed today." Renato Marotta explained briefly.
"Passed today? Are you serious?"
The congresswoman looked surprised.
In the past, it would take at least three days to pass a bill because it had to be submitted to the Senate for review.
But now Renato Marotta actually demands that it be passed within one day, which is simply unbelievable and unheard of.
However, what the female congresswoman does not know is that this car bill can only be passed quickly, not slowly. If the public is aware that it is targeting the Pilot 001 car, there will inevitably be a parade.
"I'm very sure," Renato Marotta replied, looking directly into her eyes.
…
Dragon Kingdom Internet.
Weibo information platform.
At this time, the hot search list has been flooded with entries related to Pilot 001, among which the entry "Standard version of Pilot 001 only costs 209,000" is topping the list.
Click on the entry.
Discussion blog posts are still being published.
[Xiao Yuer Meow Meow]: "No, this is for this beauty. I don't have 1 million, but I really do have 209,000!"
[Invincible God of War]: "It's hard for me to refuse a 209,000 yuan pilot 001, because it is like an unattainable goddess in my youth. It makes my heart beat faster and my breathing becomes difficult. I didn't dare to confess to the goddess before, but now I have the conditions." , I want to win my own goddess!”
[Monkey King 666]: "Is there a foster father here in Bincheng who wants to buy a Pilot 001 car? Can you let me take a few photos with the car?"
[Society Your Brother Mao]: "With the 3 million Linghang 001, I can find many faults with it. With the 1 million Linghang 001, I can accept its flaws calmly, but with the over 200,000 Linghang 001, let's put it this way, even if It exploded, and even when I was flying in the air, I had to say it was so loud!”
When the price of the standard version was released, the voices of anti-fans were no longer visible on the Internet.
Because according to the data released by Chen Xing, the entire Internet was speculating that Linghang 001 was a million-level coupe. Unexpectedly, it only cost 209,000.
What is this concept?
Let’s put it this way, it’s as magical and shocking as going to a Ferrari store and picking up a Ferrari with a 10% discount.
A multi-million dollar car can be purchased for 200,000 yuan. What kind of bicycle do you need?
Even if the haters continue to criticize it, for a car costing more than 200,000 yuan, those are not shortcomings. Its shining points are enough to cover up everything.
When the Internet trend was one-sided, the press conference was like a large-scale military training scene, with the audience shouting slogans in unison.
"Far ahead!"
"Far ahead!"
"Far ahead!"
Even in an open-air venue, Chen Xing on the podium felt his eardrums hurt when faced with this overwhelming roar.
After waiting for a few minutes, the shouting subsided slightly, and then he pressed his hands to signal for silence.
Not a moment.
The shouting stopped completely.
Chen Xing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Everyone must be surprised by the price of 209,000, and may even wonder if this price is a castrated version of Pilot 001. Let me promise you what the press conference demonstration will be. That’s what it’s like when you drive home.”
"good!"
"Mr. Chen is awesome!"
"Mr. Chen is mighty and domineering!"
"Pah, pah, pah—"
The applause was like rain and continuous.
After waiting for another moment, Chen Xing raised his voice a little and said above the applause: "The reason why we set this price actually combines many factors and encountered great resistance. But what I want to say is that technology should Civilization, allowing everyone to enjoy the convenience brought by technology, is what we pursue. ”
"Pah, pah, pah—"
Deafening applause sounded again.
Facing the applause, Chen Xing looked back at the LED screen, and then continued: "The price of the standard version of Linghang 001 has been announced, and then the price of the exclusive version of Linghang 001 will be announced. Before the price is announced, we We have prepared small betting gifts for everyone.”
"Visitors at the scene and in the live broadcast room can open the official Weibo of Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company, click on the top blog post link, and enter our betting page. The price is closest to the first 100,000. Everyone has a mysterious gift.”
"I'll take a sip of water first, and 10 minutes later, we'll reveal the final price and the mysterious gift."
After Chen Xing finished speaking, he walked off the podium, and the director backstage immediately cut the live broadcast to the bleacher seats.
With the emergence of the "mysterious gift", millions of people were instantly attracted to open Weibo and look for the top link.
Rebus, who was sitting in the stands, took out his mobile phone and searched for the top link on Weibo. Luo Hao saw it and asked in confusion: "Lao Lei, are you going to smoke too?"
"It's a bit of a foul."
Duan Yongping joked.
Rebus is a manufacturer, so he must know the specific price. He guessed that Chun Chun was the default contestant and was guaranteed to win the prize.
"What a foul. To be honest, except for that boy Chen Xing, neither Mr. Ren nor I know the specific pricing of Pilot 001." Rebus shrugged and said helplessly.
"I really don't know."
Ren Guofei echoed.
They only knew that it was in the range of 200,000 to 400,000, but they had no idea how much it was and whether there were any temporary changes.
Seeing that Ren Guofei, the corporate veteran, had spoken, the other bosses no longer questioned the authenticity of what Rebus said.
"Look, Boss Ren doesn't even know that I am an honest person."
As he spoke, Rebus opened Weibo, flipped to the top blog post, and then clicked on the link to jump to the page. The application for granting location information permission immediately popped up on his phone.
"I also need location information." He muttered, but clicked to confirm.
If it were someone else's link, he wouldn't click it, let alone authorizing the location information. After all, as the "Cash King" of the Imperial City, Rebus's bank card is notoriously rich.
As the location information was authorized, the page jumped twice, and a national emblem came into view, which shocked Rebus.
"Fuck, where did this take me?"
"You're just an honest man." Luo Hao was still muttering to Rebus in his heart, but when he saw the national emblem web page that suddenly jumped out, he was frightened and said in a voiceless voice: "Damn, this... this seems to be a deep city. Official website!”
Wang Fu: "???"
Duan Yongping: "???"
Ren Guofei: "???"
Don't you mean a lottery?
Conduct a lottery on the city’s official website?
Not only the bosses, but also the tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were shocked, because after authorizing the location information, they all automatically jumped to the official website of their own region.
"What's going on? After authorizing the location information, it jumps directly to the local official website. When filling in the form, I need to enter my ID number and mobile phone number. Do I need to enter it?"
"The moment the national emblem came out, I was completely confused. At first I thought someone had done web hijacking and boldly forged the official website. But if everyone jumps to the local official website, then there will be no problem. It should be Mr. Chen, what kind of cooperation have they reached?”
"If you don't understand, just ask, who filled in the information?"
"I've already filled it out, and the guessed price is 390,000. There's no need to panic. Mr. Chen didn't panic at all in the audience. I knew this should be part of it."
"Yes, if someone really hijacked the web page, Mr. Chen would have come to the stage to stop us from filling in the information. Don't worry."
Gradually, more and more viewers filled in their information and entered their guessed prices on the relevant pages.
After waiting for 10 minutes, Chen Xing came back to the podium.
"The time has come." The moment he finished speaking, he explained again: "Everyone must have questions as to why we fill it out on the local official website. This is because we have reached strategic cooperation with many regions, and the gifts we send can generally be divided into these types.”
Chen Xing pressed the remote control, and a bubble diagram appeared on the LED screen, with the type of gift floating in it.
Local specialties.
Cash prize.
Charging rights.
Digital products.
Consumption subsidies.
There are various types of prizes, but the most eye-catching one is the bubble with the words "Limited License Plate", which also surprised many viewers who live in big cities but did not win the lottery number.
"Limited license plate? Mr. Chen, please don't tell me that you can get a license plate when you buy a car!"
"As a Beijing drifter from the imperial capital, if I really get a license plate when buying a car, even if the Pilot 001 is a neutered car, I will not hesitate or blink an eye."
"Not to mention the Imperial City license plate, the Magic City license plate is also very tempting. Of course, forget about the Shanghai C license plate."
"The owner of the Shanghai C license plate was in tears. If he hadn't said that he could switch to B or A in the future, he wouldn't have wanted this license plate!"
Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are the four major super cities in the Dragon Kingdom. In "Beishang", due to the relatively long development time of the city, the street pattern has basically been finalized and cannot be adjusted in depth. In addition, due to the large number of migrant workers and extremely dense population, the local license plate Resources can be said to be worth thousands of dollars, and a lottery policy is basically adopted.
Take the Imperial City license plate as an example. As long as you draw the number, it is no less than winning the 200,000 grand prize.
Listening to the discussion that was like a wet market, Chen Xing was very satisfied with this, and the leadership teams from various places were also very satisfied.
This price guessing activity is actually Chen Xing teaming up with leadership teams from various places to promote new energy vehicles in various ways and stimulate people to spend their money.
Due to the increase in U.S. dollar interest rates, other countries except the United States have experienced economic sluggishness. There is a serious lack of liquidity in the market and consumption is downgraded.
If people in other countries have no money, then the situation in Dragon Country is exactly the opposite.
Because their elders often teach them not to spend money indiscriminately and to save money to fight future risks, the people of Dragon Kingdom are famous for their love of saving money, and their total savings are the largest in the world.
Anyone who likes watching American TV series or Western TV series will know that once the protagonist encounters an unemployment crisis, he will definitely be urged to pay back the money and then transition to a plot of committing crimes to make money.
This is because in the West, most people have no concept of saving, and they are accustomed to spending in advance. They often start with a few credit cards. Once their income is cut off, they will soon be entangled in debt.
When Chen Xing proposed that he could help stimulate consumption, almost all places responded and showed their sincerity.
"Okay, dear viewers, the standard version of Linghang 001 is 209,000, and the price of the exclusive version is..."
Chen Xing played a long tail note, like a violin's bow, pulling everyone's strings, making them all hold their breath.
"299,000 yuan!"
When the price was officially announced, Masik's whole body trembled, and his heart completely died at this moment.
299,000 yuan, which is equivalent to about 50,000 US dollars. This price is not to enter the automobile market, but to truly overturn the global automobile market and reshuffle it.
"Does he really make any money?"
The moment BMW Group CEO Nagel saw the price, he blurted it out subconsciously, his voice trembling.
299,000, you can’t even buy the entry-level BMW 3 Series. Is it really possible to make money from a million-level performance vehicle like Pilot 001?
"They should be spending money on subsidies. He is going to start a war with us." Olaf Leiter, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Group, squinted his eyes. Although he looked calm on the outside, in fact, he was already in a mess inside.
"Madman, this is a madman!" Audi Group CEO Dusmai stood up and pointed directly at Chen Xing and cursed.
However, his curse could not be heard at all, because now thousands of spectators in the stands had stood up and cheered.
"299,000! Mr. Chen! You are my god!"
"The configuration is far ahead, but the price is far behind. It's a pity that Mr. Chen was not in ancient times. If he were in ancient times, he would be a saint who would be enshrined in a temple!"
"He could have sold it for 1 million, but he only sold it to me for 300,000. Is it possible that Mr. Chen has a crush on me? Although I am a man, if Mr. Chen opens his mouth, I will definitely follow him."
"Damn it, we have the same sex!"
"Mr. Chen, I love you. I can really afford 299,000. You are my light!"
The cheers at the scene were wave after wave, and each wave was more violent than the other. Everyone's neck veins popped out, their faces turned red, and they were shouting at the top of their lungs. Correspondingly, they were the faces of the CEOs of foreign companies.
Without exception.
All as gloomy as eating shit.
Since they were all in the front row, Chen Xing, who was standing on the podium, could naturally notice and guess what they were thinking.
You don't need to think too much to know that these people must be wondering why a coupe with million-level performance is priced in the 300,000 range.
The pricing is 209,000 and 299,900. On the one hand, it is to knock on the door of the market and establish the brand reputation of pilot cars. On the other hand, the performance and mechanical structure of new energy vehicles naturally have advantages over fuel vehicles.
The core of power of new energy vehicles is the motor, while the core of power of fuel vehicles is the engine. The former can directly convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Compared with the energy loss in the combustion process of the engine of fuel vehicles, the energy conversion efficiency of new energy vehicles is higher. high.
In terms of acceleration, the motor can reach peak torque instantly and usually has better acceleration performance than fuel vehicles of the same level.
To put it bluntly, it is more energy-efficient than a fuel vehicle and starts faster than a fuel vehicle.
Wang Fu, CEO of BYD, looked at the excited crowd around him and could only smile and applaud. However, only he knew that he was in the same mood as other CEOs of domestic car companies, like a mute who had eaten Coptis chinensis and could not express his pain.
