Chapter 1175: Tiangong Automobile is on Fire!
After extensive publicity, car dealers or enthusiasts from all over the world came to attend the Geneva International Motor Show, and even more tourists from other European countries, after all, in Europe with interconnected railways, tourists from other countries can only come to Switzerland for a few hours.
Early in the morning, a large number of visitors gathered at the entrance of the Balesburg International Exhibition Center.
Maybe it's because you know that everyone will be impatient if you wait for a long time, but the protagonist is a car in the exhibition hall.
Therefore, the opening ceremony of the Geneva International Motor Show did not take long, and it was only half an hour before and after.
This time, the Geneva International Motor Show was very grand, and the world's top ten car companies, General Motors, Ford Motor, Volkswagen, Chrysler, Rolls-Royce, Toyota, etc., all came.
According to statistics, there are 186 car companies from 37 countries around the world, bringing 716 vehicles to participate in the international auto show, and all data are more than the previous year.
After the opening ceremony, visitors lined up to enter the exhibition center through security.
The visitors who went in were immediately attracted by the new cars of Rolls-Royce, Volkswagen, General Motors and other top ten car companies, and the booths of each car company were full of people, admiring the cars and the beautiful car models.
At this time, it is in the H exhibition area, which is the farthest from the gate.
Chen Caijun and a group of fifteen people, all dressed in decent formal clothes, waited for the arrival of visitors with the best spirit.
The six cars brought by Tiangong Automobile Group are destined to attract attention.
Although the visitors have not yet arrived, the counterparts in the surrounding exhibition area have been attracted by the cars of Tiangong Automobile Group.
Feeling the searching gaze projected by the peers around him, the corners of Chen Caijun's mouth hooked a trace of arc.
He looked at the six brand-new cars quietly placed around him, and said to himself secretly: "Success definitely belongs to us!
"Uh-huh!"
He coughed lightly, attracted the attention of all the employees, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone cheer up, wait for the visitors to come, don't panic, according to yesterday's division of labor." ”
"Yes!"
The employees subconsciously raised their heads and answered in unison.
The first highlight moment is destined to belong to the most central region, those large car companies that have a huge reputation in the world.
After waiting for a long time, scattered visitors went to other exhibition areas, and other exhibition areas began to gradually become popular.
......
Paul Carr, an American, grew up in a poor family and went to work as an apprentice in an auto repair shop at an early age. And he did not lack the spirit of hard work, he started as an auto mechanic, accumulated capital step by step, and successfully opened an auto trading company five years ago, completing the gorgeous transformation from a worker to a boss.
After five years of hard work, his Paul Carr Auto Trading Company also has a certain reputation in Illinois, able to sell more than 400 cars a year, and the annual turnover exceeds 5 million dollars!
Previously, he mainly acted as an agent for the sales of GM, Ford and other automobile brands in the United States.
However, in the past two years, because of the second oil crisis, gasoline prices have soared, and the US economy has not improved, and the American people's lives have become more and more difficult.
However, American cars are notoriously high in fuel consumption, and the American people can't afford to refuel.
At this time, Toyota, Nissan and other car companies in the island country formed a group to attack the North American market, the island country car is not as heavy as the American car, and the safety factor is not necessarily as high as the American car of the same level, but it has the biggest advantage, that is, fuel economy!
As a result, the market share of island cars in the U.S. market has been increasing.
The rising Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in the United Kingdom has also changed its appearance, with many brands and models playing the fuel-saving card, and also gaining ground in the American market.
Foreign cars continue to squeeze the market of local car companies in the United States, grabbing the cake, so that Paul Carr and other auto trading companies that sell local cars are not having a good time.
However, Paul Carr is not a rigid person, nor does he have any national feelings, and in his eyes, the dollar is the largest.
Therefore, with a strong sense of crisis, he plans to adjust his direction to see if he can find a car with the potential for fire to replace cars such as GM and Ford.
And once a year, the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland, known as the "Holy Land of New Innovation", has become the best platform for him to find his goals.
Walking around along the way, he looked at many new cars from car companies, but none of them made him amazed.
It was only when he walked to the H exhibition area and was about to turn around and return that a red convertible sports car and three strangely shaped cars not far away piqued his interest.
There are sports cars in Zone H?
This red roadster was the first sports car he saw in the H area!
Which small car company is ready to enter the field of super money-burning sports cars?
"Tiangong car?"
After Paul Carr approached, he looked at the name of the car company on the booth and read it out very awkwardly.
Very strange!
Paul Carr is sure that this is a car company he has never heard of before, and looking at the yellow skin of these employees, you can see that this is a car company from Asia, and it must be a small brand.
He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.
"This gentleman, welcome to visit our Tiangong Automobile, I am the president of Tiangong Automobile, this is our company's business card. ”
Paul Carr's temperament as a successful person caught Chen Caijun's attention, and he walked over directly and handed over the business card with a smile.
It turned out to be the president of a company!
Paul Carr was taken aback and accepted the card with a smile.
Regardless of whether it is a new car company or not, it is qualified to participate here, this Tiangong Automobile Group must far surpass his Paul Carl Automobile Trading Company, and Chen Caijun, as the president, must be above him.
He looked at the business card, then stuffed it into his pocket, smiled and asked, "President Chen, my name is Paul Carr, an auto trading company from the United States, can you introduce me to your new car?"
"Of course, it's my pleasure!"
Knowing that Paul Carr was a person from an auto trading company, Chen Caijun's eyes brightened slightly, his smile was even bigger, and he took him directly to the red sports car.
"Mr. Paul Carr, this car is called Fengshen Generation, is the first sports car designed and produced by our company, with a body size of 3960×1650×1230 (mm), a wheelbase of 2275mm, and a curb weight of 950 kg. The power part is equipped with a Rolls-Royce 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 115 horsepower and a peak torque of 135 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, with a front-rear wheel drive layout 0-100km/h acceleration in 8.7 seconds, and a top speed of 202km/h......"
As Chen Caijun continued to introduce the parameters of the Fengshen generation, the smile on Paul Carr's face, who was very familiar with the car, disappeared, and he was disappointed, and his impression of Tiangong Automobile was also three points worse.
Although the appearance of this Fengshen generation is very eye-catching, and it will definitely pull the wind when you drive it, but these performances are destined to make this sports car garbage in the sports car world.
Sure enough, it is a small car company that does not know the height of the sky!
Paul Carl's change in expression was seen by Chen Caijun, but as long as Paul Carl didn't leave, he was not in a hurry.
For this Fengshen generation, the company has specially discussed the marketing strategy, which can be summed up in one sentence - first suppress and then promote, and use huge contrast to give customers the deepest impression.
As long as you have an impression, you have taken the most crucial step to success!
"President Chen, I am afraid that your company's sports car will not be welcomed by the market. ”
Paul Karl was a little unhappy, but he didn't want to offend anyone, and said in a joking tone.
"Not necessarily!"
Chen Caijun shook his head confidently and said.
"Because our Fengshen generation sports car, the stated market retail price is $16,800!"
When Paul Carr heard the price, he thought he had misheard.
He blinked, looked at Chen Caijun, and asked again, "How much?"
Chen Caijun smiled lightly and said, "Sixteen thousand eight hundred dollars!"
This time, Paul Carr heard clearly, his eyes widened instantly, and he said in surprise: "Sixteen thousand eight hundred dollars sports car?"
"It's so cheap!"
"It's the cheapest sports car I've ever known!"
"Yes, you heard it right, our Fengshen generation is positioned as a cheap sports car, and it is also the world's first cheap sports car!"
"Oh my God!"
After receiving Chen Caijun's affirmative reply, Paul Carr was a little incredulous, and he casually walked around and found the world's first cheap sports car.
"Mr. Paul Karl, our car is far less powerful than the top cars, but it is better than other cars in its class, and most importantly, it is a cool car!"
"Do you think that the Fengshen generation, which has a cool sports car appearance but only has the price of an ordinary car, can attract young people who have just come out of society and are strapped for cash, but they like to be in the limelight?"
"If you were younger, would you buy it?"
Paul Carr thought for a moment, then nodded affirmatively and said, "I'll buy it!"
Paul Carr was also young, he knows too well the mentality of young people in the United States, and if the young Americans who like to go to parties drive a sports car to the party, they will definitely be able to make a big splash and win the hearts of the girls!
This is an untapped market!
There's a lot to be done!
Thinking of this, Paul Carr began to get excited, and he seemed to see a gold mine beckoning to him.
"President Chen, can you please introduce this Fengshen generation to me in detail?"
"Of course no problem!"
Chen Caijun smiled, and then patiently introduced Paul Carr.
If the Aeolus generation was just a surprise for Paul Carr.
Then the next generation of gods and glory gave him an intuitive understanding of the R&D strength of Tiangong Automobile Group.
When he learned about Tiangong Automobile's urban SUV series, Paul Carl received multiple critical hits, and the whole person was going crazy with excitement!
What kind of fairy car company is this Tiangong car!
Creativity is nothing short of spectacular!
With his more than 20 years of experience and intuition in the automotive industry, he can safely say that Tiangong Auto's urban SUV is definitely a major innovation in the automotive field, and it will definitely attract middle-class men who have already started a family but like to be big.
Jeep's Cherokee series will welcome its biggest rival!
Tiangong X series urban SUV is simply too attractive for a family!
After reading it all, Paul Carr made a decision on the spot.
General Motors and Ford are all on the sidelines, he wants to be an agent of the Arctoon Motor Group, he wants to make money!
But he still has some key pieces of information to make sure.
"President Chen, have all six of your cars been mass-produced?"
Paul Carr asked impatiently.
Chen Caijun nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, mass production has begun, and before April, the production capacity can be increased to 300,000 units per year, and before October, the production capacity can be increased to 1 million units per year!"
Once again, Paul Carr was shocked by this efficiency and skill.
However, after the shock, Paul Carr was full of joy, and he hurriedly said: "President Chen, re-introduction, I am the owner of an auto trading company in the United States, this is my business card, I hope to become your company's car dealer in North America!"
"Okay, let's go talk!"
Chen Caijun took Paul Carr directly to the rest area of Tiangong Automobile Group and started talking with him.
When Paul Carr came here, he had already brought all the materials to prove his strength.
He originally wanted to fight, and the lion opened his mouth to become the only agent of Tiangong Automobile Group in the United States, but Chen Caijun resolutely refused.
Not only that, but even the only agent in the eastern United States refused to give it to him, on the grounds that the strength of Paul Carr Auto Trading Company was too weak.
In the end, it was because Paul Carr was the first agent to come to the door, and Chen Caijun decided to hand over the sole agency in Illinois, USA, for two years.
And Paul Carr is also a ruthless person, decided to make a desperate gamble on Tiangong Automobile Group, and invited Tiangong Automobile Group to invest in his Paul Carl Automobile Trading Company, in order to waive the agency fee and obtain the greatest support of Tiangong Automobile Group.
This kind of unexpected joy, how could Chen Caijun refuse, he agreed without hesitation.
Of course, the specific details are not suitable for discussion here.
The two agreed to find a suitable place to talk in detail after the museum closed tonight.
After that, more and more people were attracted by the exhibition area of Tiangong Automobile Group, and Paul Carr did not waste Chen Caijun's precious time, but he also kept observing the surroundings.
When he saw more and more dealers around the world and the automotive media interested in the new cars of Tiangong Automobile Group, Paul Carr felt a sense of urgency and crisis at the same time.
In the morning, the influence of Tiangong Automobile Group was only limited to the vicinity of the H exhibition area.
But by the afternoon, the entire Barlesburg International Exhibition Center was shocked by the heat of Tiangong Automobile Group in the most remote H exhibition area.
The first budget sports car in history!
The first urban SUV in history!
Each of these is breaking news!
Many media who came to visit kept taking pictures of the cars of Tiangong Automobile Group.
The Mirror Group and Jiuding Newspaper Company also moved.
Both companies have extended their media tentacles into Switzerland through acquisitions.
Early in the morning of the second day of the Geneva International Motor Show in Switzerland, the news of Tiangong Automobile Group was disseminated through the newspapers.
On this day, the popularity of the exhibition area of Tiangong Automobile Group exploded, and it was not much better than the most central A exhibition area.
Tiangong Automobile Group is on fire!
