Chapter 643: Who Buys the First One
The plan of 5,000 energy service areas has set off a huge wave on the entire Chinese Internet and even the world Internet. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As soon as the pricing of the thunder car was launched, they already felt incredible, although the standard version is the lowest version, but the technology it carries is still far ahead of all models of the same price on the market.
Now, Behemoth Industries is going to fund the construction of more than 5,000 energy service areas across the country?
Even if it is 5,000, there are 661 cities and 1,636 counties in China. On average, large cities can be distributed to four energy service areas, and small counties can be distributed to one.
If these energy service areas are built, as long as there are no major technical defects, the sales of thunder cars will be ironclad.
However, no matter how hot the sales are, how can the investment cost of the energy service area be earned?
Last year, Volkswagen sold about 4 million vehicles in the Chinese market, accounting for 18 percent of the Huaxia automobile market, and the financial report shows that the Huaxia market brought a total of 5 billion euros of operating net profit to Volkswagen, equivalent to 37 billion yuan.
Even a giant like Volkswagen of Germany has to post ten years of net profit in vain to support this plan.
No matter how powerful the monster industry is, can it use pure electric cars to compete with the German Volkswagen?
Obviously, no matter how hot the sales of thunder cars are, this energy service area plan is also a bottomless pit of losing money, and maybe the giant beast industry will also be folded in.
That night, the search volume of Thunder Automobile soared to the first place in major search engines.
At 11 o'clock that night, the largest automobile portal in China and the world's most visited website [My Autohome] published countless authoritative car reports. Released a special news article based on the latest information.
The editor who writes the news is Liu Linzheng, and he is the most popular car test driver and new car information release member on my Autohome website.
The report of his press conference will be preceded by the title of Xiao Liu's report. Over time, Xiao Liu's report used witty language and sharp and professional attitude to conquer a large number of audiences who were interested in buying a car.
Now domestic auto brands, whenever a new car is launched, will take the initiative to invite him to attend the press conference. Even some brands, before the car was listed, invited Xiao Liu to take a test drive, gave a professional test drive report, and the manufacturer made a small improvement according to his opinions.
Liu Linzheng was naturally invited by the giant beast industry to attend the press conference of Thunder Automobile.
Although I didn't enjoy it, I enjoyed the extraordinary treatment I enjoyed from other domestic car brands. However, when the press conference ended, Liu Linzheng took the initiative to ask to visit the interior of the thunder car, and obtained the readily agreed of the staff, and the company's employees also accompanied him to drive the thunder car for several hours.
In Xiao Liu's report, seven automobile revolutions were used in a row to describe the thunder car.
"From the first-generation SUV of the Great Wall, to the BYD-Tang top model, to the joint venture Land Rover and Audi, I have test-driven more than 200 domestically produced car models. Imported models, I have test driven BMW I8, Mercedes-Benz 2017 S600, Audi S7, etc., and even Tesla.
But there is no car here that can bring me the enjoyment of test driving a thunder car. The more I test drive a car, the more picky I become. During the test drive, I was often asked what the perfect car was, and I would answer that the perfect car did not exist. But this time I test-drove the thunder car, and I found that I had been picky about the faults by test-driving hundreds of models, and there was no such thing as a thunderbolt.
I'm going to tell you what I felt the most during that one-hour test drive.
Technology, disruptive technology, and smart assistants that I'm all in love with. The feeling of driving a thunderbolt is like driving a Santana in the 80s and suddenly touching a BMW I8.
I test drove it between 7:30 and 8:30, which happened to be nighttime, so I was lucky enough to experience the night mode of the Thunder car.
Did you know that in night mode, the front windshield of the thunderbolt car will automatically compensate for the low light, and even if I don't turn on the high beams, I can see the outside scenery very clearly? And on this road, there is no car with high beams that make me unable to see the road.
I asked the staff how the night mode works technically.
They generously told me that the headlights of the Thunderbolt car did not work the same way as traditional headlights. The lights of the Thunderbolt car are blue, and when the light source hits the target, the light will be reflected. This reflected light is fed back to the front windshield, where it is enhanced by a special transparent lamination inside the glass, giving the driver a view that is no less than during the day.
This is a revolutionary technology, if the mid-to-high-end car manufacturers can't develop a similar technology. It's hard for me to imagine what they'll be like in the future......
Liu Linzheng, a star test driver, also posted a few photos on the news of the night mode renderings he took with his mobile phone.
The effect of these pictures shocked hundreds of thousands of netizens.
At the end of the news, Liu Linzheng also used a very exaggerated tone to ask why the giant beast industry priced the standard version of the thunder car at 240,000.
Because he feels that the standard version is also equipped with this windshield technology, and the window glass supports the color-changing function. With a price of 240,000, will the Behemoth Industry really not lose money?
In Liu Linzheng's view, the standard version is priced at 500,000 yuan, which is more in line with economic interests.
Liu Linzheng's unsparing praise made countless netizens excited. The price of the standard version is 240,000 yuan, and most of the users who want to buy a foreign joint venture brand car can afford it, but if it is really priced at 500,000 yuan, 95% of users cannot afford it.
The price is 240,000, is it a loss?
There are people who do the business of killing heads, and no one does the business that loses money. The price of 240,000 yuan is naturally not a loss, and the configuration of the standard version of the thunder is an innovative technology in the eyes of others. However, here in the giant beast industry, except for the relatively high cost of plasma batteries, the rest are cabbage technology.
The standard version is only available with transparent and opaque glass color adjustments. The windshield is equipped with a night mode, as well as functions such as assisted driving and remote driving. As for the technology of electric control seats, induction wipers, airbags and side curtains, etc., less than 100,000 domestic cars are willing to match, and Thunder Automobile will certainly not be stingy and do better.
It's not impossible to raise the standard version to 500,000.
But this will give up the entire Huaxia and even the world's largest share of the mid-range auto market.
This choice is like having the world's gold and owning the world's steel. Gold seems to be luxurious and expensive, but there are really people who give up steel and choose gold, which will only make countless people laugh off their big teeth.
Abandoning the mid-range auto market is equivalent to letting several auto industry giants on the manufacturing rankings, which are higher than Behemoth Industries, win the gold medal for avoiding death.
Small profits but quick turnovers bring more than just more profits. There is also the right of the giant beast industry to speak in the automobile market, and the deadly charge launched against the foreign industrial market.
The construction plan of 5,000 energy service areas across the country is an invincible golden body created by Ye Qing for Thunder Automobile.
As long as the sales volume of thunder cars reaches a certain scale, the energy service area can be like a gas station, making money every day.
There is so much money that there is nowhere to spend it, which is also one of the driving forces that prompted Ye Qing to set this grand plan. If money is not spent, it will always be just a string of numbers, and it will have no value.
……
This night, most of the users who have plans to buy a car in the country have been a little insomnia by the news media.
People who originally planned to buy more than 200,000 foreign joint venture brand cars, when they saw that the standard version of the thunder was only 240,000, they immediately became uneasy.
No way~
New energy vehicles do not need to be drawn, the state also has special car purchase subsidies, tax exemption and a lot of preferential policies, or wait and see, the user reputation of thunder cars?
Users who plan to buy high-end cars between 400,000 and 700,000 are also not calm.
What kind of thunder elite version, thunder and lightning, looks super stunning.
Whoever hurry up to buy one, let's listen to the evaluation of the owner.
Buying a car is a major event second only to buying a house, and many potential car buyers who are not too far away from Zhongyun City have decided to see the prototype car first.
As a result, early the next morning, the first batch of users who arrived in Zhongyun City and planned to see the prototype car were taken aback by the crowd that could not be squeezed through the black pressure.
