Chapter 193 Raptor F650
Han Peacock said: "You said that at this kind of auto show, Ford got a batch of pickup trucks for exhibition? ”
"Yes, it's a batch of modified pickups, I heard that they just arrived on the shore, and now I haven't seen much, and I don't know the specific situation, it's better for us to just go in and have a look, if you're not satisfied, you guys will come out again." Qin Mingyue said.
"Of course you want to go in, you mean a modified pickup? Are you sure it was modified by Ford originally? This is Su Jinglong's eyes also lit up.
Jiang Lin said: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look, if it is really a modified Ford pickup, it shouldn't be too bad, this kind of big guy is just right for us to travel." ”
Han Peacock said suspiciously: "The Ford pickup truck is good?" How big can it be? ”
Thinking of the appearance of the pickup, Han Peacock didn't see how big the pickup was, and he didn't see how good it was.
While walking, the dragon scale explained to Han Peacock: "The modified car of the pickup truck is not the kind of car we usually see, this kind of modified car is called the Ford Raptor Although it is a pickup truck, the modified car is completely different from the image of the pickup truck."
There are several models of the Ford Raptor, the ordinary F150, only five or six hundred thousand, if it is the F650, it will cost two or three million, if it is modified, it should be more expensive, generally more than four million. ”
Han Peacock saw a few sons who were excited, he was a little confused, the pickup truck in his impression, it was a gray body, a flat body, and a small bucket behind it was used to load goods, it was the most ordinary transport vehicle, such a car, no matter how he modified it, could it still be converted into a tank?
Everyone walked into the exhibition hall. The models who came one step earlier than Qin Mingyue had already taken up their posts, and the beauties standing in front of the giants were no longer so dazzling at this time.
"This is a pickup?" The first to be suppressed was Qin Mingyue, who was directly stunned in front of the big man.
Then more than a dozen people walked in, all of them were shocked by a scene in the exhibition hall, a huge car body, full of exhibition hall, domineering, mighty, and only these can describe the slightest bit of this kind of car.
Han Peacock was directly defeated by this domineering pickup, is this thing still a pickup?
No wonder this car is called a Raptor of Prey. Such a car is a car driven by a man. Han Peacock fell in love with this kind of car at the first sight of it.
This is the billboard on the roof: the 2014 Ford Raptor F650 Iron King Kong Invincible Jugbo, which is really a jumbo.
The Ford Raptor F650 inherits the unparalleled muscular feel and thick lines of American cars, and the boxy headlights and front bumper create a perfect front shape and proportions. Like a warrior in the desert.
When approaching this behemoth. It seems that only its domineering appearance is left in the entire world. The chunky body, chimney-like exhaust pipes, and the huge grille are very impactful.
Large area of piano lacquer. It adds a lot of luxury to the simple and atmospheric interior design.
The steering wheel is relatively wide overall, but it feels a little slender around the edges, which is not quite in line with the rugged style of the F-650, and the integrated cruise control function key is very practical.
The instrument cluster uses blue pointers to add a sense of technology, and the upper four sub-meters display driving information such as water temperature, and the middle display provides information such as driving range and cruising range.
Big! It's huge! Very big!
This is probably the first reaction that everyone who sees a bird of prey will have.
This Raptor is nearly six meters long and more than two meters wide, and it is simply a behemoth!
Looking at American cars, it is not difficult to find that Americans still have a certain obsession with "big", but this should be the obsession of all men, for such a big car, as long as it is a normal man, there is no way to resist his temptation.
The Ford Raptor's extra-long body and wheelbase are not particularly prepared for rear passengers, but to meet the cargo capacity of the rear trunk, so in the final analysis, it still has not lost one of the main functions of a pickup truck.
However, I believe that in China, there will not be a few people who really drive the Ford Raptor for the sake of its carrying capacity.
Judging from the front face alone, it's hard to guess that this is a pickup truck, but rather leans towards a full-size SUV.
In the past, pickup trucks gave many people the impression that they were a bit raunchy, even a little rustic.
However, with the development of the times, pickup trucks are also slowly changing, and in terms of appearance and configuration, there is already a trend to be on par with sedans and SUVs.
The large black Ford lettering is embedded in the front grille, which occupies one-third of the area, instead of the regular Ford logo as in other models.
The air intake grille, which occupies almost half of the front face, can ensure good air circulation, and the black plastic anti-scratch front bumper and metal lower guard plate are not only good-looking, but also necessary equipment when off-road.
On the engine cover, although the gill-shaped heat dissipation holes are not completely opened, they can still play a role in cooling the engine.
Although the nearly six-meter-long body is very imposing to drive, it is also easy to block the vehicles behind it.
Maybe running in the wilderness is not a big deal, but for today's urban traffic, it's inconvenient, so Ford equipped the Raptor pickup with a boxy exterior mirror.
The exterior mirrors have a large field of view and can be adjusted and folded from the cab.
Underneath the mirrors, there is a row of turn signals.
Han Peacock thinks that this row of turn signals is prepared for those cars that are "petite" and "unlucky" to drive next to the birds of prey, which is a very good reminder, not to mention that people bully the small!
For Han Peacock's performance, Ford employees are very satisfied, they unexpectedly made so many modified cars this time, just to make a breakthrough.
Ten big financiers came at one time, and the senior sales director of Ford couldn't sit still.
After confirming the buyer's information with Qin Mingyue, the white-skinned and yellow-haired sales director of Ford Asia suddenly became enthusiastic.
"Our Ford Raptor series is selling very well in China. But we also know that you Chinese like to modify cars, which makes us realize that we can do better.
Gentlemen, look at the logo of this car, the full name of this car is F-150SVTRaptor, where SVT stands for Special Vehicle Team, which is the high-performance tuning division of Ford Motor Co., Ltd., whose main mission is to improve the performance of Ford's models.
This is a high-end car carefully built by our company for high-end customers in China. So. It is good for customers to buy our company's modified vehicles directly, so that there is no need to modify them themselves, so as to avoid accidental losses. ”
Seeing these dozen young people, each of them looked at the car with bright eyes. Edward was already laughing and cramping in his heart.
Now everyone knows that the Chinese have money. They don't buy the most suitable. Buy only the most expensive, it turns out that this car also sells well in China, but compared to the price and profit of modified cars. The little money Ford made became dispensable.
A Ford F650 can only be sold for more than two million yuan in China, but if it is modified by those small car repair towns, it can easily sell for more than four million yuan, and it will be sold for five million.
Such a value increase directly made Ford's senior management who understood the situation red-eyed.
They are professionals, and they produce a car, and they don't make as much money as those modified car vendors, which makes Ford embarrassed.
So after a series of demonstrations, there is such a car, a modified vehicle specially designed for Chinese customers, and you can have whatever configuration you want.
Ford has all the luxury matching methods of the car, and they can meet any request of any guest.
So the price of this car was raised by Ford to 4.98 million, and the cost was not much longer than the original F650, so to speak, just such a modification, their profits doubled.
Han Peacock listened to this sales director, in broken Chinese, constantly introducing this car, such a model that pays more attention to off-road performance, so the large size of the tire type is essential, from the flat ratio of the tire, and the pattern, it is more suitable for driving in special terrain such as sand and gravel, mud pool.
The exterior design of the Foford Raptor mainly relies on its huge size to attract attention, and the body configuration has been created with a full range of off-road considerations.
At the same time, a change in the pickup truck gives people a rustic feeling, incorporating many fashion elements, and can compete with the current SUV.
Although the Ford Raptor is still full of the rough feeling of American cars, many of the original configurations are not suitable for China's national conditions, and now they have been changed.
The Ford Raptor F650 is usually quoted at 2.98 million, and the modified version of the off-road king is 4.98 million.
Looking at this stocky car, Han Peacock said, this thing is heavier than an ordinary tank, although it is very good to drink oil, but the large capacity of the fuel tank makes it have a longer range, such a car, it is not suitable for use in the city, it is too suitable for self-driving travel.
"Qin Mingyue, you tell the director in a while, give us all the things, the procedures that should be done for us, the seat cover navigation or everything must be the best, if you can do it, we want ten such cars, if not, forget it." Han Peacock said to Qin Mingyue after the most reluctance.
Such a car, the profit should be very high, if Han Peacock and they go through the procedures themselves, maybe each car will have to pay a handling fee of millions, and if these Ford companies are allowed to do it, it won't cost that much at all, at most five or six hundred thousand is about the same.
Therefore, if you buy ten cars at a time, Ford will definitely make money by five million cheaper, and it will not make less.
Hearing Han Peacock say that he would directly ask for ten, Qin Mingyue's eyes became brighter, and the bright ones were dripping water.
If anyone has the ability to sell a car, the commission is not less than that of a professional salesperson.
Because they have a higher advantage than professional salespeople in some aspects, the sales performance of some luxury cars and car models is often higher than that of professional salespeople.
Therefore, the manufacturers of these luxury cars have some hidden terms specifically for car model sales, which are much higher than the commission of the sales staff.
Qin Mingyue knew that after Han Peacock and their bottom line, it could be said that she was ecstatic. Selling ten luxury cars at a time, even if she doesn't make car models at this auto show, she still earns money.
Qin Mingyue was very embarrassed by Edward, who peeped at her beauty, if it weren't for the high price of 600 yuan per hour, Qin Mingyue would have quit a long time ago.
"Do you really want to buy ten? Don't need to think about it anymore? Although Qin Mingyue was happy that she could get a customer, she didn't forget to think about Han Peacock and them.
Han Peacock glanced at the men who had completely forgotten to tease the car model, but were stroking the car, and their satisfaction was now manifested in their hands. If you can. These guys can't wait to lie down on the car and kiss it.
"Don't think about it, just tell the sales director, we want ten." Han Peacock said.
"Then I'll go and fight for as many benefits as possible for you." Qin Mingyue said.
Han Peacock smiled: "There's no need, as long as you can complete the conditions I said." It saved us a car money. ”
"Okay. I'll ask you about it. Qin Mingyue said happily.
"Bright Moon. Are you your friends? A cool beauty standing beside the bird of prey immediately asked when she saw Qin Mingyue passing by.
"Do you need to talk about that? It must be Mingyue who has helped with a lot of money. Another beautiful woman said sourly.
They were talking. But the body is motionless, and every movement of them is specially designed, so each of them is so exquisite.
They want to have a figure, they want to have skin, and they dare to show it, which is still very attractive, of course, this excludes the face that can no longer see the original color.
"Mingyue is going to make a fortune this time, each of these big cars costs almost five million, even if the naked car is sold, there will be a bonus of 10,000 yuan!" Another car model envied the road.
How long do they have to stand in exchange for 10,000 yuan?
Qin Mingyue easily grinded her mouth, and earned the income of them standing for two days, how could this be envious of them?
Although it is relatively easy for car models to sell cars, they have to pay some price, so those honest and decent car models can only get a hard-earned money.
If there is no harvest at every auto show, the big bosses who participate in the auto show in the future will ask for a replacement, so although their wages are high enough, they are also under great pressure.
Qin Mingyue listened to the discussions of the car models along the way, but she didn't say anything, she directly found the long hair, that is, Edward, the sales director of Ford Company in the United States.
"Qin, how are your friends looking?" Edward's mouth was dry just now, and he just took a sip of water, and he ran out again, under the economic crisis, Ford is definitely not happy, if the results of this auto show are not ideal, maybe he will lose his job.
If it weren't for the Japanese competing with the Chinese, then they Americans, where would they have a chance?
Thanks to the U.S. government, Edward shouted in his heart.
If there is no US government to sow discord behind the scenes, how can the Japanese have the courage to challenge the current China?
The Japanese are developing too fast, so the Americans have to find something for them to do, and confronting China can limit the development of the two countries, which is really beneficial to the Americans.
Qin Mingyue looked at Edward teasingly with her big bright eyes: "Mr. Edward, my friend is sure to buy a car, but if there are not enough discounts, I think, they will choose other models." ”
"No, no, beautiful Qin, we have a discount, and it is a great discount, since we have come to participate in the auto show, we are here with the greatest sincerity, and you can put forward any requirements from your friends."
When Edward heard this, this was the rhythm of the opening, so his Chinese, which was originally a little stammering, became extremely smooth for the first time.
"And how much concession can Mr. Edward offer?" Qin Mingyue smiled so proudly.
"Qin, I can see that those friends of yours are all noble sons, I don't know how many cars they need, if they all pick up the cars with us, I can calculate your commission, according to the sales manager level, one hundredth, and the commission of one car will be increased by five times." Edward is not stupid, he really wants to stand on the same front as Qin Mingyue, so that the benefits can be maximized.
Qin Mingyue said: "I want a commission of one percent, but my friend's discount can't be less." ”
"How many cars? If there are more than three cars, all of our top equipment can be open to them, what kind of car they need, we will equip them with what kind of car, so that your friends will definitely be satisfied, they don't care about that little money. "Edward speaks Chinese fluently, and understands China's national conditions.
"I can ask my friends to buy more than three cars here, so you have to do all the formalities for them, you know, my friends are afraid of trouble." Qin Mingyue smiled sweetly.
But Edward was stunned when he heard it, they will handle the formalities?
Just a surcharge will cost more than 500,000 yuan, which is still a car, if there are more than three, it is more than 1.5 million, plus miscellaneous expenses, each car has to spend more than 700,000 yuan to complete the procedures.
Nearly 5 million cars, if the discount is 700,000, it is equivalent to 4.3 million sold, so they still make money?
It turned out that they made money by selling three million, but now although they have increased the configuration, the ex-factory price has not increased much.
This is their advantage in cost as a large factory, even if some configuration is improved, but the cost is unlikely to increase by more than one million, now hang a modified brand, their profits directly increase by million, of course they make money.
Edward, who figured it out, also smiled brightly, and now he can sell at least three cars, right?
Even if he can't sell a single car at the auto show in the next two days, then he won't come in vain this time.
"Dear Qin, if you can get your friends to buy five of our cars, I can agree to their requests." Out of the idea of maximizing profits, Edward still added some conditions. (To be continued......)
