Chapter 600: Longbow's First Big Order!

Li Fanyu really didn't expect that he had set a new world record, and he actually recruited a bunch of fan girls for himself!

It's been a few days since the record was broken. On the official website of the American branch of the Pen, Fun www.biquge.info, there are now many girls desperately leaving messages every day, asking for Li Fanyu's phone, Twitter, Facebook,

A good opinion collection page was bent and became the homepage of the star's personal website.

In these comments, there are long expressions of admiration, some of them are connected to Facebook, and even worse, they directly posted photos of their measurements and underwear.

The most excessive one, I also made a video I shot into a GIF dynamic picture and posted it. What is the content of the picture...... It is to show off your superhuman tongue skills.....

saw all kinds of crazy expressions of love on the page, but Li Fanyu couldn't cry or laugh a little.

But...... It also made him a little complacent.

Himself, this accidentally became a male god!

Hey, it's all Guinness!

It's so handsome to capture yourself in the photo.

It's really annoying, wowhaha......

In view of the fact that the opinion collection page on the official website is always so swiped, Mason deliberately found Li Fanyu and asked him to set up a Facebook account.

On the one hand, it is to let the fans shift their positions, and on the other hand, it is also inspired by Li Fanyu's use of Weibo for marketing in China; Zhengxin's business in the United States has now involved two major parts: cars and movies, and now there is this opportunity, it is still helpful to circle some fans.

Unexpectedly, after Mason posted Li Fanyu's Facebook account on the official website, it was found that Li Fanyu was still a little popular in the United States.

Just three days after its launch, Facebook attracted more than 40,000 followers. These concerns are not limited to fans. Many car lovers who like sports cars and Zhengxin Audi also occupy a considerable part.

.......

The reason why Li Fanyu did not return to China after setting a new record is because there is a lot of business on the US side, and he needs to coordinate it here.

After the Longbow RS set a new world record, the OEM side immediately began to approve the model and register various patents.

And the longbow set a new world record, and "TG" certainly can't let it go. After borrowing Guinness's live video, Clarkson also forced Li Fanyu to do another special. The confrontation between Zhengxin and Hennessy Modification Factory was completely recorded in the program.

After these trivial matters are completed, the official website officially announced that the two models of Audi RS and Longbow RS will start pre-sale!

According to Li Fanyu's previous pricing, RS was originally set at about one million US dollars. However, the nitrogen oxygen system was canceled, and the top speed was no longer up to the level of a supercar, so Li Fanyu asked the OEM to simplify it and reduce the cost, removing the variable air suspension, the disguised memory alloy hood, and the Hot Wheels braking system.

These three main components have reduced the cost of RS by almost forty percent.

After these configurations were removed, the RS's manufacturing cost was reduced to $130,000 after Kurbo Jr. led the product engineers to calculate it.

But even with a lot of reductions, the performance of the RS production version is still good.

Thanks to the W12 e-turbocharged engine and an enhanced seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, the RS accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 300 km/h.

This performance is not an exaggeration to say that it is a high-performance sports car.

After research, the company decided to target the muscle sports car market at $500,000. In addition, the three parts removed from the beta version will be sold as optional tie-ins.

This is the RS part.

You can't do that until the longbow does.

Whether it is in terms of performance or price, RS is marketable in the three markets that Zhengxin has opened up so far. Therefore, this car can be produced and sold as a production model.

But the cost of a longbow is too high!

The manufacturing cost of the Kwafu V16 dual-electronic turbine engine alone reached $50,000. Coupled with the rear-mounted seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, Hot Wheels braking system, carbon fiber high-strength driveshaft, F1 lightweight carbon fiber body kit, memory alloy cooling kit, adjustable air suspension and so on, the manufacturing cost alone is nearly half a million dollars.

This manufacturing cost is destined to make the longbow unusual.

The grade and cost of the car directly affect the production mode;

The models on the market, if divided by this method, can be roughly classified into five categories: low-range, mid-range, mid-to-high-end, high-end, and luxury performance gear......

In order to gain a firm foothold in the market and achieve the expected profits, the strategies of manufacturers and dealers are very different for each of these five categories of vehicles.

Needless to say, low-end cars, take Hongguang as an example, while having a certain technology, the main thing is to be competitive with the price. Because the audience of such a grade of cars is large, it makes small profits and quick turnover. It is a road that gathers sand into a tower and gathers armpits into fur.

But the positioning of the longbow can stand directly at the high-end, or even the top. With such a price and performance, it is destined to have a small market. Therefore, if you go the mass production route, it is impossible.

And generally speaking, customers who can buy such a type of super performance sports car are not ordinary rich people. It has to be someone who is obsessed with speed and has too much money to spend.

Therefore, this kind of customers generally have a variety of customization needs, and such a model is destined to be the sales form of longbow.

So Li Fanyu discussed with the company, and decided to follow the example of the competitor Hennessy Depot and take the customized route.

Advertise to accept orders, and then produce after receiving orders.

So after some preparation, on the official website of Zhengxin, an announcement was made that Longbow RS accepted reservations. The company has decided to start at USD 1.5 million after analyzing the market.

According to the company's sales estimate for the Longbow, almost all of them believe that there will not be too many sales at this stage.

Because according to the life cycle of high-end models, the current Longbow is still just past the product development period and has just entered the introduction period. It belongs to the time when the product has just been launched and is being warmed up by sales to expand its popularity.

After all, it is the first time that Zhengxin has set foot in the production and sales of this type of car, although it has set a world record, but its reputation cannot be compared with a brand like Hennessy.

But to everyone's surprise, just three days after the announcement on the official website, the company received a large number of orders!

How much is that?

Order five units at once!

After fully understanding the performance of the longbow, the other party didn't say a word, and directly transferred 50% of the price, and a total of 3.75 million deposits for five units!

Who is this customer?

Dubai, Traffic Police Department!
