Chapter 104: Smart Cars
readx;?June 2013. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hudson Estuary, New York.
The Brooklyn Iron Bridge between Manhattan Island and Brooklyn was filled with onlookers, curiously looking at the graceful yacht on the ocean a few miles away.
With its breathtaking futuristic beauty and intense magical realism, the boat is over 700 feet long, making it undoubtedly the largest and most luxurious yacht on earth.
But no one dares to take out a camera to make a mistake, at most they can only take a few long shots with a digitally focused mobile phone, and then upload it to ins or the first time they see the circle.
There are many local police officers in New York standing on the bridge, holding a sign saying "No Photography" to maintain order along the bridge, and the reason is clearly written on the sign: "The First Century" yacht is equipped with a CCR laser blinding countermeasure system, and if the CCR optics of the digital camera equipment are detected within 5 kilometers are aimed at the ship, the directional laser will be automatically turned on and burned.
I can't take photos with a long focal length, so I can only take a long shot, or watch with the naked eye.
Tens of thousands of New Yorkers were crowded on the iron bridge, and there was inevitably chatter and gossip when onlookers:
"The owner of that ship is Gu Mojie, the richest man in Asia, right?"
"Who's to say it's not, this year he jumped several places in Forbes and Fortune - after the war in Crimea, global oil prices fell so much, and the two oil tycoons who were ahead of him last year had their nominal assets plummeted by half and were thrown off.
The big boss behind Oracle was only $2 billion higher than Gu Mojie last year, and there is also Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos. Slim, less than 80 billion, this year these two people were left behind by Gu Mojie. ”
"It seems that there are only Bill Gates and Warren Buffett left in front, alas, that Chinese is really a demon, business has reached this extent, and the annual growth of personal assets is still easily more than 10 billion US dollars."
"I guess Warren Buffett is no longer good - don't forget that the Fortune data you are looking at is based on the 2012 year-end financial report data. It's more than half of this year, and I'm already more than Warren Buffett if I want to take care of Marc Jab. It's just that most of his business is not listed, and he can't report the market value in real time every day like those on the NASDAQ. ”
"That's right, but I've heard that Hatsune Network Technology is looking to list on the NASDAQ before the end of the year, and that's the trend. This kind of company is willing to go public so that ordinary investors can share some benefits, and it will rise and fall properly. ”
"Yes, I dare to assert that on the day of the IPO of Hatsune Network Technology, Bill Gates was left behind. Yellen's old witch has let the president go, and is about to QE, that Jewish dog, not to re-speculate the rich assets and dilute the money of our people. ”
When it comes to the seat of the Federal Reserve, the Jewish dog who has been in power for 200 years is in power, and everyone present who does not work on Wall Street gritted their teeth.
After all, the life of the bottom of the United States has not been easy in recent years, and the large-scale tour of "Occupy Wall Street" just happened last year.
The onlookers of the melon-eating masses are always easy to crook.
No, when it comes to the back, it has become a big comment on the global wealth list, so that many people who are passing by temporarily can't understand - today, how can the new ship, which has just been put into use for less than two months, appear at the Hudson River estuary in New York?
Fortunately, Americans are never afraid of life, and they ask if they don't understand.
"What, you talked for a long time, why did that Gu Mojie drive the boat here today?"
"I don't know? He's celebrating, having a drinking party -- yesterday, Hatsune Porsche's hybrid smart car just set a new world speed at the New North Circuit, and it was driverless. ”
New North Circuit!
When it comes to this name, there is certainly nothing New Yorkers don't know. The Formula 1 circuit in New York North is known as the litmus test of Formula 1 racing and the touchstone of new supercars.
Whether it's the world's top sports car companies like Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren and Lamborghini, or the world's top racing drivers like Schumacher and Schumacher, it's up to them to prove themselves on that track as the pinnacle of humanity in their field.
(Schumacher: I don't want to be written like that, who makes no one on the planet in the same "like" as me.) )
"Purely unmanned! Run faster than Schumacher in the best Ferrari car! It is estimated that unmanned driving technology is really going to enter thousands of households. ”
"It's not so fast, the New North Circuit is unmanned in a state of no interference, just a pure running lap. The biggest problem with unmanned driving is facing a variety of unexpected road conditions. ”
But even so, the combination of Hatsune and Porsche's technology is exaggerated enough. I heard that Porsche has used super energy storage technology in new cars, and the electric brake can recover more than 85% of the kinetic energy, and when you step on the accelerator again after cornering, the acceleration of 100 kilometers can be reduced to more than 1 second! It is stronger than the afterburner push back of the F-22 Raptor! ”
"What is the F-22 Raptor! It's not known for pushing back. If you want me to say at least compared to the MiG-25 Flying Fox or the F-14 Tomcat! ”
"You're just as good as the red spider!"
……
Compared with the nonsense of the people who eat melons, the guests attending the cocktail party on the yacht "First Century" at this moment are obviously much more knowledgeable and decent.
Gu Mojie took his wife and shuttled among hundreds of billionaire-level guests, thanking everyone for their support with a smile on his face.
These people are more or less in business. What's more, everyone bought a new Hatsune Porsche 918Spyder smart supercar.
Yesterday, after Hatsune pulled the car to the New North circuit to set a new world record, Gu Mojie naturally called this celebratory reception and feasted the guests.
At first, he planned to find a club or hotel in New York, but later found that there was nothing satisfactory, so he made such a show.
Since the "Chuxin-3" mobile phone gradually sold well around the world in March, in the second quarter of this year, the hottest and most eye-catching super equipment on the planet is naturally the new supercar jointly developed by Hatsune and Porsche.
Thanks to Porsche's consistent strength in the field of supercars, Hatsune's world-leading position in the field of intelligence, and the news that has been favorable to Hatsune since the end of last year, this supercar has received extraordinary attention as soon as it was launched.
The 918Spyder is a production car that has been further designed from the 918X concept car that Porsche boss Wolfgang gave to Gu Mojie two years ago. There is no change in power and structure, but in the selection of some components, new models have been used for nearly two years. In addition, the biggest fundamental improvement is the in-vehicle intelligent system provided by Hatsune Intelligence.
In the end, when the supercar left the factory in the Jiangdong Industrial Park in Qiantang, the factory price of the basic low-end model before tax was 1.08 million euros.
Combined with all levels of marketing channels and taxes, the final price in the European market is more than 1.4 million euros. In the U.S. market and the Middle East market, it is 1.5 million US dollars.
On the contrary, it is as high as more than 16 million yuan, equivalent to more than 2.2 million euros in China - although the whole car is assembled in China, there are still many policies that do not meet the needs of domestic cars, and are subject to heavy taxes on luxury cars.
But these have nothing to do with Hatsune intelligence. Anyway, in the Chinese market, the demand for pretending to be forced is particularly strong, and the cars are sold cheaply, but people dislike them for not being forced -- as far as Gu Mojie knows, the Bugatti brand two years ago won the Chinese market by selling expensively.
People have paid tens of millions of dollars, and you don't let people have the title of "bought the most expensive and best car in the world", are you worthy of consumers?
It is for this reason that Hatsune Porsche's 918Spyder did not sell a few low-profile versions in the mainland, and among the hundreds of orders, the customization needs of each car were sufficient, and the final total transaction price was more than 20 million yuan.
Chinese buy this car, the picture is that it must be more expensive than Bugatti, otherwise who buys it.
With such a luxury car, of course, sales cannot be high. Hatsune Porsche's production is set at 10 vehicles per day, and the global order for 2013 is limited to 3,000 vehicles. The total sales of this model alone amounted to 4 billion euros.
Prior to Hatsune's involvement, Porsche sold 120,000 vehicles worldwide in the previous year, with total sales of 29 billion euros.
After the launch of this high-end smart car, Hatsune Intelligent directly increased Porsche's total sales by 15%.
And Hatsune Intelligence's factory in Jiangdong Industrial Park is obviously impossible to produce only such a supercar that costs millions of euros.
The future of electric vehicles and smart cars is to gradually enter thousands of households and completely replace highly polluting internal combustion engine vehicles.
At the same time as the 918Spyder was shipped, Hatsune Porsche also launched two mid-range smart EV/hybrid cars. The all-electric version is priced at 240,000 euros and has a relatively poor range, while the hybrid version is priced at 320,000 euros.
At the same time, Elon Musk issued a Tesla quotation, and the bicycle is generally 10~140,000 US dollars.
Hatsune Porsche's mid-range model is still at least twice as expensive as Tesla's car.
However, the market quickly taught Musk to be a man: earthlings still recognize Hatsune's model, and Porsche, a high-end product that has been branded in the traditional car era.
When people buy a Porsche Cayenne, they have to pay more than 100,000 euros, and they can't afford to buy 10,000 euros.
In this case, if you are a few or half of the price, you can try a new car that represents the highest level of human beings, so why not.
As for cheaper broken cars, Gu Mojie can of course produce them, but he doesn't want to produce them. If it was cheaper, the brand he got from Porsche would be gone.
The scale of production and sales of "cheap" cars is obviously much more accessible than that of the cold 918Spyder. After examining the initial order growth and trends with Porsche's marketing staff, Hatsune decided that it would be appropriate to set a production capacity of 50,000 units a year, and no more than 100,000 units in the future, so as not to make the Porsche brand too popular and worthless.
And each car should allow users to customize the upper shell structure except for the chassis, so as to ensure that each user can get a new car with a unique structure with their own name watermark.
Porsche's owner, Wolfgang, is already congratulating himself on the right decision two years ago. Porsche, an old brand, actually caught such a tailwind. With the sales of smart cars today, even if more than 40% of the shares were sold at the beginning, it is worth it.
