Chapter 554: Car-Based Layout, Globalization of Power Supply

When the senior executives of the island country and the chairman of the car company were in despair, the world-renowned car companies such as BMW Group, Ford Group, and Mercedes-Benz Group in Europe and the United States had already felt the same. All members of the board of directors remained silent and confused.

The reshuffle of new energy came too fast, and they had no way to deal with it.

The concept of new energy was only proposed at the beginning of the year, and you were given a "family portrait" at the end of the year. This speed is comparable to the Flash.

In Washington, DC, Renato Marotta directly sounded the alarm for all congressmen and sent a group message to convene an emergency meeting.

You know, whether it is the United States, Germany, or France, Japan, and South Korea, the automobile industry is an important support for their domestic economy.

Industrial powers are frowning, while industrial weak countries are happy.

Why do you say that?

Industrial powers are afraid of being broken.

Industrial weak countries can't make cars in the first place and can only rely on imports. How the world pattern changes, what does it have to do with them?

This is like a consumer buying a product. As long as your company does not involve issues of principle and quality, who cares whether your company's CEO has a messy relationship or family infighting? People only care about the product itself.

However, some people are wondering, can new energy vehicles really sell well in the Middle East and Africa?

You know, gasoline prices in the Middle East and Africa are very cheap, which is also the biggest battlefield for fuel vehicles.

…

The capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

The Bird's Nest Stadium.

As the new energy "family portrait" stopped steadily, Chen Xing also introduced it diligently: "As you can see, in addition to flying cars, we will also sell pickup trucks, coupes, heavy trucks, SUVs and mini old man models at the same time."

"Let's talk about our pickup trucks first."

Chen Xing came to the Conquer 001 under the stage, and the official photographer hurriedly followed to ensure that the camera was always locked.

"Conquer 001 is 5.3 meters long, 1.85 meters wide, and 1.77 meters high. It is equipped with a 200-kWh Thor solid-state battery, has a full-load range of 1,900 kilometers, and is equipped with Star Flash fast charging technology, which takes only 17 minutes to fully charge from zero."

"Since this is our first time to build a pickup truck, we lack a lot of experience. At the beginning of the design, we found 100 car owners to do research and concluded that as a pickup truck, other performance is secondary, and the most important thing is durability."

"Therefore!"

"Conquer 001's main feature is durability!"

Chen Xing's words instantly made countless pickup truck owners' eyes light up, and they look forward to the shining point of Conquer 001's durability.

For them, the main purpose of buying a pickup truck is to transport goods and go off-road.

Because the pickup truck is a three-box design, the last compartment is an open-air cargo box, which was designed to carry goods at the beginning.

But because it is so durable, coupled with its high horsepower and torque, it has gradually been given off-road attributes.

Many people who like off-road and small business owners have a special liking for pickup trucks.

Facing the audience's expectations, Chen Xing did not keep them in suspense. He pressed the remote control and said, "In order to reduce the vehicle failure rate as much as possible, our designers have redesigned the connectors of important electronic components and strengthened the waterproof, sand-proof and dust-proof performance of the chassis."

"Of course."

"This is far from enough."

Speaking of this, Chen Xing pressed the remote control again, and the original optimization details of the electronic component connector disappeared, replaced by the optimization of the three major components.

What are the three major components?

Battery, electronic control and motor!

"In terms of battery protection, we redesigned the steel structure and adopted a double-layer structure. The actual test showed that the chassis was scraped at 90 km/h, but the battery body was not damaged."

"In terms of electronic control, our designers added an independent intelligent control chip, which can not only reduce the burden of the main chip, but also manage the energy output more professionally and efficiently to avoid failures caused by overload."

"The last motor, Conquer 001 is equipped with a total of four main and auxiliary motors. It is usually a dual-motor output, but when you turn on the roar mode, with four motors running at the same time, its maximum horsepower will reach 1297 horsepower and the maximum torque will reach 1380N·m."

"Wow——"

The exclamation filled the Bird's Nest again.

The owners of the Capi who were watching the live broadcast at home were stunned for a few seconds, and they couldn't imagine that these parameters were true.

"1297 horsepower? That's crazy!"

"Does the four-motor mean that this pickup has four engines?"

"1380 Nm is the best. If I drive this off-road, I will be the most handsome guy in the crowd?"

"Awesome! Really awesome!"

"This is the pickup with the highest horsepower and the highest Nm that I know of!"

The comments in each live broadcast room have exploded. No one expected that Chen Xing would make the pickup to this extent.

The reaction of market users at this time has already explained everything.

Some owners who like pickups are very honest. While Chen Xing was still introducing, they had already called the local vehicle management office to inquire about the policy terms of the local vehicle trade-in.

After talking about the parameters, Chen Xing pressed the remote control. Before he could speak, the audience who witnessed the content on the screen exploded again.

"No way! Two-year warranty?"

"Mr. Chen is making such a big deal?"

"How confident are you in your own skills?"

Listening to the exclamations on the scene, Chen Xing smiled calmly and said, "As you can see, Conquer 001 can enjoy free warranty service if there is any non-human failure within two years."

Just after he finished speaking, he explained: "In simple terms, as long as you drive normally, such as daily cargo transportation, driving around the city or the countryside, and there is no intentional damage due to off-road behavior, we will provide a 2-year warranty service."

When Conquer 001 was first designed, it was designed to be durable, and many unstable designs and performance were cut off for this purpose.

2 years without breaking is still a conservative number. Hua Ming promised Chen Xing that Conqueror would not break down for at least 5 years without intentional damage, directly targeting Toyota's Hilux.

Of course.

Individual damage is not ruled out.

But overall, the potential number of users brought by the warranty and the financial expenditure for individual extreme damage are definitely greater than the latter.

This is similar to mobile phones, which generally provide a half-year warranty service.

Will a normal mobile phone break down in half a year?

There are some, but not many.

But this half-year warranty may attract users to place orders, even if there are only a few hundred, and the maintenance expenses are much higher.

"Mr. Chen is awesome!"

"The car is under warranty, really awesome!"

"Other car companies offer ten maintenance services or other things, but Mr. Chen offers a two-year warranty, which is really far ahead and unique in the world!"

"I have to buy it this time!"

When the audience at the Bird's Nest was boiling with excitement, Wang Fu, Masike, Jiang Ye and other car company bosses were completely confused.

Two-year warranty for vehicles...

Is there any justice in this?

Is there any law in this?

Is there any humanity in this?

For consumers, this is a good thing, but for manufacturers, they have to choose whether to follow this card.

This is a bit like playing Landlord. If the other party plays an A, you have to consider whether to play a 2 or a big or small king, otherwise they can continue to play cards and may even take you away in one wave.

"Clean up the industry..."

Wang Fu muttered to himself.

On the other side, Luo Hao looked directly at Lei Jun and Ren Guofei, gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Damn, you are worthy of being from the mobile phone industry, and you have used all the warranty routines."

Mobile phone warranty is not unfamiliar.

Car warranty, that's unheard of.

"It seems that Conquer 001 is really something, I will get one later." Zhou Hongwei also expressed his opinion.

"How does that sentence go? Confidence is the peak, and this is the embodiment of confidence." Baidu CEO Li Yanhongyan laughed.

"Indeed."

"I can see it."

Other CEOs nodded.

If you are not confident in your own products, you will definitely not dare to call for warranty.

But if you call for warranty, it means that Chen Xing has absolute confidence in Conquer 001, at least in the next two years.

Ren Guofei listened to the conversation of other CEOs and responded to them: "Making money is secondary, market coverage is the most important."

"That's right."

Lei Jun agreed.

Low prices, or promises of discounts to grab market share, this is already common in the mobile phone industry.

But in the automotive industry, marketing and competition seem to be more primitive.

Perhaps it is too comfortable to make money lying down, and automakers have not experienced internal competition. Now Longxing Heavy Industry has come in to disrupt the situation, which can stimulate the potential of friendly companies.

Competition is the key to efficiency, this is a consensus.

Why do people who resign from the system often complain online that they feel that they are becoming "useless" after entering the system for a period of time?

A big reason is the lack of competition.

Once you get in, you will have a stable job.

Without competition, there is no motivation.

It is said that high school students are at the peak of theoretical knowledge reserves. The biggest reason why they can reserve so much knowledge is because they have to go through the baptism of the college entrance examination.

What is the college entrance examination?

Competition among tens of millions of students!

Chen Xing, Lei Jun and Ren Guofei have also discussed privately that they not only want to stir up the world's auto companies, but also put appropriate pressure on domestic auto companies, and they can no longer let them make money lying down.

Want to make money?

Yes!

Technology is also provided to you.

But you need to compete with your own advantages under the existing conditions.

…

Every time Chen Xing explains a car, Otaki Ikki and Kamioka Hideki, who are far away in the island country, feel a little heavier.

This is not just crossing the river and destroying the bridge, but cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron!

If the senior officials and car companies of the island country were given another choice, they would never make a joint venture with the car companies of Longguo for the sake of profit and let the latter master the preliminary automobile manufacturing technology.

However, for Hideki Kamioka, what he regrets most now is that he did not have a business negotiation with Chen Xing in time.

If the Toyota Group was abandoned and the cooperation with Longxing Group was reached, the island country could also get a share of the new energy field, at least it would not be in the current predicament.

Just when the senior officials of the island country and the chairman of the car company were in a heavy mood, Iwata Tomoo, the vice chairman of Mitsubishi Group, asked a question: "Can the shabby basic power facilities in the Middle East and Africa really meet the charging needs of new energy vehicles?"

"!!!"

"!!!"

The moment the voice fell, the Mitsubishi board of directors was collectively stunned.

"Yes, Africa and the Middle East are such chaotic regions. Not only are there wars all year round, but the power facilities are also terrible. New energy vehicles are too limited. No matter how awesome the parameters of Longxing Heavy Industry's vehicles are, they can't threaten our base!"

"Yes, that's the truth!"

"In the Middle East, fuel vehicles are king!"

"That means we don't have to worry about Chen Xing further squeezing the market. Thank God, this is really good news."

The director of Mitsubishi Group breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt a little relieved.

However!

Will Chen Xing do useless work?

Impossible!

When Wang Shan went to Longke Institute to discuss the technical support of Beidou navigation, he had discussed with Chen Xing by phone that he would use the favorable trend of new energy vehicles to complete the global construction of power facilities.

In simple terms, countries with poor power infrastructure can invest and entrust Longguo's national grid to build power facilities.

For example, Saudi Arabia, Longguo has already begun to lay out the construction of power infrastructure, and the national grid has announced that any attack on Longguo's overseas infrastructure will be regarded as a provocation to Longguo.

If it were in the past, most countries and organizations might have disdained it.

But now!

Saudi Arabia has Longguo's heavy-duty synthetic brigade.

It is precisely because of the heavy-duty synthetic brigade that Saudi Arabia's safety factor has soared in the past year.

In addition to Saudi Arabia, countries such as Iran, Bangladesh, Pakistan, as well as Laos and Cambodia are negotiating to relax power control and supply power from Longguo's national grid.

It is worth mentioning that Guxiangguo also has the intention, but considering that Guxiangguo has serious electricity theft, it did not agree to its request.

Longguo's global supply of electricity, with after-sales maintenance included, has attracted many countries in the Middle East and Africa.

As for why the global supply of electricity is needed, one is to anchor the Longguo currency, and the other is that the controlled nuclear fusion is progressing smoothly, and Longguo has to win over the BRICS members in advance.

To put it bluntly, it is to reconstruct a new world order around electricity.

…

"The last model, the mini model, is also the so-called Lao Tou Le."

Chen Xing opened the car door so that the photographer could take a closer look.

"For Lao Tou Le, in fact, it was not within our consideration at the beginning, because the technical content is not high and there is no challenge."

"But it's okay."

Chen Xing changed the subject and said helplessly: "I can't help but have people send me private messages on Weibo every day, saying that they want Lao Tou Le."

"Here it is."

"By the way, I made a Lao Tou Le."

As soon as the voice fell, bursts of laughter came from the Bird's Nest Stadium, and the barrage in the live broadcast room also increased.

"Hahaha, who is so obsessed with Lao Tou Le?"

"Listening to Mr. Chen's story, Lao Tou Le feels like a scrap, like a gift!"

"Lao Tou Le really doesn't have much technical content. As long as you give me a three-wheeled vehicle, I can modify one for you."

"The owner of Lao Tou Le passed by."

Just as people were talking about it offline and online, Chen Xing suddenly changed the subject and continued: "But to be honest, when I actually drove it and felt it, I found that Lao Tou Le is indeed very suitable for urban transportation."

Whether the car is good to drive, you can only know it after trying it yourself.

The main reason why Lao Tou Le is popular all over the country is that it is simple to control and very easy to use.

Chen Xing moved his feet and returned to the center of the podium. Then he looked at the screen behind him and pressed the remote control and said: "That's all about the vehicle configuration and parameters. Now we will announce the Longguo guide price of Conquer 001, Pilot 002, Open 001, Climb 001 and Yuedong 001."
