Chapter 420: In the Limelight (Second Update)
Although his cars are selling well, he still feels that there are still too few models of his Xingchen cars!
"It seems that it is time to think about a few other types of cars. Qin Hailang said secretly in his heart.
"Sisi, I'm going to go to the headquarters of Xingchen Automobile in the afternoon. You told all the top brass to be ready, and I'm going to have a meeting. Qin Hailang said to Liu Sisi beside him.
"Okay, Mr. Qin. ”
In the afternoon, the headquarters of Xingchen Automobile Company, high-level gathered.
Xingchen Automobile Company is thriving, and these high-level executives are all full of red faces. This is all for the glory of domestic cars!
"I have called you to a meeting today because I have a plan to talk to you about. Qin Hailang sat on the first place and said indifferently.
After listening to this, the high-level people below all pricked up their ears and prepared to listen.
"Now we have launched a total of three new energy vehicles, namely the low-end compact car Xingchen A1, the mid-range car Xingchen A2 and the mid-to-high-end Xingchen A3. At present, the high-end Xingchen A4 is still in the design. But all four cars belong to the sedan type. At present, our Xingchen Automobile Company does not have two kinds of cars, urban off-road vehicles and off-road vehicles!"
When the high-level people below heard this, they all understood in an instant.
Is this the rhythm of building an off-road vehicle?
"Mr. Qin, are you ready to enter the ranks of off-road vehicles?" asked a senior executive excitedly.
"Yes. Qin Hailang smiled and nodded.
"It's good to enter the off-road vehicle series, after all, we are a car company, and the models must be all right. ”
"Have your say. Qin Hailang waved his hand.
The upper echelons below came alive all at once.
"I think there should be two levels of off-road vehicles, one is the mid-to-high-end level, and the other is the low-end level. The high-end level is a medium-sized off-road vehicle, and the low-end is a compact off-road vehicle. ”
"Well, I think that's good. ”
"Shall we get a van?"
"Okay, Mr. Qin, why don't we make up all the models at once this time. ”
The discussion lasted for half an hour, and Qin Hailang immediately clapped: "Okay, now I announce that I will start to open up off-road vehicles, commercial vehicles, and hatchback small cars!"
"Among them, there are two off-road vehicles, the first is a medium-sized off-road vehicle, priced at 400,000 yuan, and the second is a compact small off-road vehicle, priced at 200,000 yuan. Then there is a seven-seater commercial vehicle, priced at 400,000 yuan. Then there is the hatchback small car, which costs 80,000 yuan!"
"You have to get someone to design it first. Among them, medium-sized off-road vehicles I require large horsepower, and the endurance must be more than 2000 kilometers. Small and compact off-road vehicles should have a range of more than 800 km. The cruising capacity of a seven-seater commercial vehicle should also reach more than 2,500 kilometers. As for the hatchback, the range is 500 km. ”
"Yes, Mr. Qin. ”

Toyota headquarters.
Vice President Ichiro Watanabe looked at this quarter's sales report, and his brows were tightly wrinkled into a Sichuan character.
"Sales decline for the tenth month in a row?" "Ichiro Watanabe looked at the report in his hand, and his eggs hurt for a while.
It is written that their Toyota's pride, the Crown, as well as Camry, Lexus and other cars have been declining in sales for 10 months. It's going down every month!
Especially the crown and Lexus!
Especially in the Chinese market! In the past year, the sales of the Crown have fallen by 90 percent, the Lexus has fallen by 70 percent, and even the Camry and other cars have fallen by more than 40 percent.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Watanabe Ichiro with a gloomy face on a few high-level executives, "Didn't I tell you to make up for your disadvantage? ”
"Mr. Vice President, it's all because of Huaxia's Xingchen Automobile Company! The reason why the sales of our Crown and Lexus are declining is because of Xingchen Automobile Company's new energy vehicles Xingchen A2 and A3. ”
"I'm sure you've got it. Now the new energy vehicle Xingchen Automobile Company has dominated the world. ”
"Since the Xingchen A2 and A3 are both positioned as mid-to-high-end cars, our crown has really lost its advantage. Not only in the Chinese market, but also in overseas markets. Sales are declining. And so on. We had to shut down the production line at Crown Lexus. Only discontinuation can be considered. ”
"Yes, vice president, Xingchen Automobile is so good, our car has no advantage. Not only us, but also Volkswagen, Honda, Ford and more than a dozen other car companies have sold cars. The decline lasted for more than a year. ”
Watanabe Ichiro was helpless when he listened to the complaints of a group of high-level executives, and he now clearly realized the power of Xingchen Automobile Company. In the past year, Toyota's performance has fallen by 40 percent! If it continues like this, it will not be a year or two before it will face the crisis of bankruptcy. This is not alarmist.
"The public enemy of the car!" said Ichiro Watanabe. In the past 100 years, no car company has been dominant. Because everyone's skills are similar.
But now a bullish Xingchen Automobile Company has popped up, and their technology can be eliminated directly in the area of new energy vehicles. This amazing strength really made them feel extremely pressured.
"Mr. Vice President, if Xingchen Automobile Company launches the Xingchen A1 compact car again next month, our Corolla and other cars will also be threatened. At that time......" this high-level is reluctant to continue. Everyone can think of the result! One word, cool!
"It doesn't seem long before fuel vehicles are going to be eliminated. ”
"How is our new energy vehicle plan from a year ago going?" asked Ichiro Watanabe.
"There is still no major progress, we really don't have any breakthroughs in the area of electric motors and batteries. Our current technology is still maintained at a range of 400 kilometers, and the Xingchen Automobile Company has reached the terrifying 3,000 kilometers of technology! ”
Inside the conference room, there was a boredom.
"It seems that we can only invest in additional research and development. I'm going to talk to the board of directors to see if we can add $5 billion to develop new energy vehicles! If we don't catch up with Xingchen Automobile's technology, it won't be long before we are eliminated from the market. Ichiro Watanabe said in a deep voice.
............
Not only Toyota, but all automobile companies are feeling the pressure. Because their sales have been declining for more than a year. are all being seized by Xingchen Automobile to occupy the global market share.
The only way for them is to speed up the research and development of new energy vehicles!
However, the end result may be tragic. Because of the technology that Qin Hailang has, they don't want to surpass it for the rest of their lives, they can only be grabbed and beaten and torn apart by Qin Hailang one by one.
