Chapter 316: Press Conference
Seeing Ma Bao's cordial greeting, Yi Xingchen also began to count his requirements happily: "I do have a few ideas to trouble you. First, I hope that the whole body should use the best materials, while maintaining a beautiful appearance, and the model should give people a noble feeling, because the market positioning of this car is not for the general public; second, to ensure the use of bulletproof materials, even if the cost needs to be higher, it does not matter; third, to provide a variety of solutions to supplement electric energy, so that users can use it in countries around the world after purchase; fourth, the internal structure of the car should be comfortable, ergonomic, not only to satisfy the driver, but also to satisfy the passengers, of course, the car performance should also be stable, can adapt to different driving environments。 ”
Ma Bao listened, but his face kept changing unpredictably, and after Yi Xingchen finished all the requirements, he was already very surprised, and he didn't even care that the relationship with Yi Xingchen was not familiar enough, and he couldn't help but say: "Mr. Yi, I'm sorry I have to interrupt your train of thought, because, if all your requirements are implemented, I'm afraid that the selling price of Dongfang Automobile will also be very high, so as to maintain the balance between costs and profits." In my experience, it's not a good deal, is it?"
As an excellent automotive engineer, hearing Yi Xingchen's requirements, Ma Bao could already predict what kind of cost this car was about to face, so he had to remind him, and between his words, he also subconsciously looked at Dongfang Lan. After all, this is a customer brought by Dongfang Lan personally, and Ma Bao also needs to respect Dongfang Lan's opinion.
Ma Bao's quick words did not make Yi Xingchen feel any displeasure, on the contrary. He's on the facts. Instead, let Yi Xingchen confirm that Dongfang Lan had indeed introduced a professional talent to him. I was more relieved to communicate with Ma Bao.
Actually, Yi Xingchen didn't feel strange about Ma Bao's concerns, but he had his own ideas, so he smiled and comforted Ma Bao: "You don't have to worry about this problem. You deduct the cost of labor and materials, and guarantee a certain profit, and on the basis of guaranteeing a certain profit, give me an approximate price. Merely. No matter how high the cost is, I want you to make sure that you produce the most stable and durable car model. Well, of course, you can also take the best sports car style of the Eastern Automobile Company as a reference to calculate the approximate cost range. I also have one more request, I hope to be able to get the finished product in a short time. Yi Xingchen said with a smile.
Since it was determined that Yi Xingchen was not from the perspective of a layman, he purely made some unreasonable demands, but knew very well how high the cost of his requests would be, Ma Bao listened. He didn't say anything more, just nodded. He simply replied, "Wait a minute!"
Ma Bao is a serious technical engineer, and he is an experienced and powerful automotive expert, who only needs to take a pen and a piece of paper, write and draw on it, and can calculate the approximate production quotation on the spot.
In order not to affect him, Yi Xingchen and Dongfang Lan both waited quietly on the side. After about fifteen minutes, Ma Bao raised his head again and said with certainty: "I have used the best materials, and it is estimated that it will cost three million Chinese dollars." ”
Yi Xingchen smiled: "Well, the price is reasonable. I'm going to order 100 cars, when will you be able to deliver this quantity?"
"Three hundred million ......," Ma Bao subconsciously exclaimed. Three million Chinese dollars for a car, with this price can already be included in the ranks of luxury goods, I didn't expect Yi Xingchen to order such a large amount at one time, it can be said that it is generous!
But soon, Ma Bao realized that he had been rude, came back to his senses, and continued: "We need to vacate a production line, and it will take a month. ”
"Okay, no problem. Yi Xingchen nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to ask Dongfang Lan, and continued to ask: "Senior sister, you give me an account number, and I will pay in full." ”
Dongfang Lan, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between the two, was already surprised when she heard Yi Xingchen say that he wanted to order 100 cars worth 3 million Chinese dollars, and at this time, Yi Xingchen even said that he would pay the full amount at once, Dongfang Lan was so shocked that she was a little speechless. She had secretly determined that this Yi Xingchen was indeed doing very well abroad as he himself said last night. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so rich.
"Oh, okay. At the end of the launch, I'll give you a bank account. Although Dongfang Lan responded to Yi Xingchen on her lips, her mind was a little uncertain.
Seeing this, Yi Xingchen probably guessed a few points, but he couldn't help but smile, and planned to distract Dongfang Lan's thoughts, and said, "Senior sister, let's go to the front and watch the new car press conference." ”
At this time, the entrance to the venue has been opened, and the audience has entered one after another.
Dongfang Lan led Yi Xingchen to sit down in the front row, while she accompanied her, chatting with Yi Xingchen from time to time.
After what happened just now, Yi Xingchen began to faintly feel that Dongfang Lan's attitude towards him was already a little strange, and the reason was very clear. But Yi Xingchen didn't plan to say anything more.
No matter what Dongfang Lan thought, Yi Xingchen thought to himself, these things should be fate. As long as Dongfang Lan doesn't reveal it for a day, Yi Xingchen doesn't want to destroy the relationship between the two of them now.
Just when the two of them had their own thoughts, the new car launch conference was also unveiled in everyone's expectations.
As the host announced the process from time to time, singers sang on stage one after another, and dancers performed on stage, interspersed with the development process of Dongfang Automobile Company, and told the history they created...... In short, it is the Eastern Automobile Company, which manufactures cars that are world-class, better than cars of the same type, and not much worse than traditional brand-name cars.
The shows were one after another, infected by the lively atmosphere, and Yi Xingchen gradually let go of his mind and enjoyed it.
After the new product launch conference, Dongfang Lan also specially gave Yi Xingchen a red Dongfang supercar, worth 880,000 yuan. In this regard, Yi Xingchen did not shirk politely, but just smiled. Not only that, before Yi Xingchen left, Dongfang Lan also handed over the energy crystallization charging technology that the two had originally agreed to Yi Xingchen, and also attached a charging machine designed by herself and produced by Zhonghai Zhongke Electric Appliance Factory.
Subsequently, when Yi Xingchen left the exhibition center, Wang Shengli also came up in person and told the invitation of the leaders of Zhonghai City, and the other party said that he wanted to meet Yi Xingchen.
Yi Xingchen naturally did not refuse, he still remembered his identity as a parliamentarian, so the two sides quickly made an appointment with a specific time and place to meet. (To be continued......)
