Chapter 300: Mr. Cao, there is a problem with the prototype

Everyone likes traffic.

Regardless of whether the impression of Xingchen Automobile is good or bad, after the first appearance picture of Xingchen 1 was released, many media immediately followed the report.

Even if this appearance picture is draped in a car coat, as long as it can attract everyone's attention, everyone is willing to play it independently.

There is a picture at the beginning, and the rest is all up to the editor.

Whether it is NetEase Auto Channel, Sohu Auto Channel, or Sina Auto Channel, there are all kinds of review articles on it.

Some say good, some say bad, and everyone has different opinions.

But at least the purpose of Xingchen Automobile has been achieved.

"Mr. Cao, several media have contacted us and want to interview about Xingchen Automobile."

"I think it's time to take this opportunity to release the spy photos?"

Although Zeng Tingting is the head of the sales department, she is also in contact with many media-related work.

"The media contacted us and we gave them the photos."

"Don't you think that's a bit bland?"

Cao Yang has no objection to releasing the spy photos, after all, this was originally planned.

But how to do it, this needs to be carefully considered.

"We have completed the naming campaign of Xingchen No. 1 some time ago, but we have not announced which of the three names will be used by Xingchen No. 1."

"Or let's combine this and market it together?"

Zeng Tingting also has a certain understanding of Cao Yang's thoughts.

In order to maintain the heat of Xingchen Automobile, it is natural that the more means possible.

The more tortuous and complicated things are, the better.

"The name thing can be done on the whole thing, but since the spy photos are called spy photos, don't you think it's more attractive to arrange people to shoot blurrily and look like candid photos?"

"When the time comes, find an unfamiliar account and post it on the car channel of Tianya Forum or Maopu Forum, will it be better?"

As soon as Cao Yang said this, Zeng Tingting's eyes immediately lit up.

You don't have to look at the final result, just imagine it, you know that the plan Cao Yang said is better than she thought.

"Shall I arrange it?"

"Go ahead! Remember to do something like that. ”

……

"Toms, the spy photos of the first model of Xingchen Automobile have come out, although it is a little blurry, but basically you can already feel its appearance."

Changan Ford, Tang Jiguo came to Toms very actively.

Normally, the positioning of Xingchen Automobile has nothing to do with Changan Ford's models, and they will not pay special attention to Xingchen Automobile.

But Thomas knew that Ford's purchasing director and design director had a close relationship with Cao Yang, the general manager of Nanshan Group.

Even the exterior of the Ford F150 was designed by Cao Yang.

Now Nanshan Group has established Xingchen Automobile, and Cao Yang personally serves as the general manager of Xingchen Automobile, and he must also be responsible for the appearance design of the model.

Therefore, Toms keenly felt that the two bigwigs in the headquarters would definitely be interested in the appearance of Xingchen Motors.

In this case, he naturally had to arrange for someone to keep an eye on the movement of Xingchen Automobile.

When he learned useful news, he went to report it to the bosses of the headquarters as soon as possible.

You must know that finding the right opportunity to report to the leader is also a very important work ability.

Otherwise, like a cow, you only know how to work hard, then you will have the fate of working all your life.

"This appearance looks a little curved and very smooth, a bit of a coupe style."

"It seems that Xingchen Automobile is really going to be a high-end model."

Thomas looked at the computer that Tang Jiguo had brought over, and the big red car jacket on the screen covered a car.

The contour lines are relatively clear.

The other is a car with various camouflages pasted, which seems to be next to a factory.

Combining these two pictures, you can really get a rough idea of what kind of car it is.

"The last time I went to Fuyao Glass on a business trip, I heard them mention that it was like this coupe of Xingchen Automobile using frameless doors."

"This kind of design is only used in high-end cars."

Tang Jiguo combined the information he had learned from his previous work and added a further sentence.

"You sort out these pictures and send them to my mailbox."

"If there are new pictures in the future, they will be sent to my mailbox in time."

The photos weren't ideal, but Toms didn't want to wait any longer.

Today, I'll contact the two bigwigs at the headquarters first.

Maybe this model designed by Cao Yang can bring them some inspiration.

……

"Mr. Zhu, this Xingchen Automobile is a brand-new company that dares to impact luxury cars, can we consider making the Hongqi brand a good one?"

Chuncheng Automobile Group, Chang Lei was quite touched after seeing the reports related to Xingchen Automobile on the Internet.

So I took the opportunity to report to him on other things, and mentioned the redevelopment of Hongqi's high-end models.

In recent years, although Hongqi has not stopped production, except for a few high-end models that have not been sold, the volume has changed to models with similar positioning to ordinary independent brands.

This made Chang Lei a little worried.

Brand this thing, once everyone thinks that you are not high-end, then it is difficult to come out with a high-end model.

"Do you think I don't want to do a good job of the red flag?"

"The point is how?"

"The group now has so many people, but except for Chuncheng Volkswagen, Chuncheng Toyota and Chuncheng Mazda, the other industries basically don't make much money, and even lose money."

"In this case, if we invest a lot of money in the research and development of new models and new technologies, the salaries of the group's employees may not be paid at that time."

Zhu Jianfeng is not a person who supports R&D investment.

In his opinion, no matter how much money is invested in research and development, it will definitely not be able to catch up with international auto giants or parts giants.

In that case, why spend a lot of money on R&D?

It is better to sell a few more profitable cars and improve the overall performance of the group.

In that way, you will have a chance to be promoted.

As a vice-ministerial-level enterprise, if his position continues to be promoted, it will return to the administration.

That's what he wants to see.

It's just that it's not that easy to achieve this goal.

"Although R&D is more expensive, if there is no R&D, the influence of the Hongqi brand will become weaker and weaker."

"In the current bidding, all places would rather buy Audi A6 or Passat and Santana than buy our red flag."

"Whether it is quality or after-sales, we have a relatively large gap with others."

"But in any case, I think the popularity of Hongqi sedan is definitely much higher than that of Xingchen Automobile."

"I think we can also take this opportunity to make a Hongqi car that really belongs to us?"

Chang Lei is the old man of Chuncheng Automobile Group.

That year was also a glorious moment to witness the Hongqi car.

But this time, that time.

The Hongqi high-end sedan with backward technology is actually no longer high-end.

Even their own people are reluctant to ride, let alone ordinary consumers.

"Alright, you don't have to say that much."

"Exchanging the market for technology is the only way for the development of Huaxia's automobile industry, and it is also the path chosen after full discussion."

"In the next five years, it is obviously not suitable for domestic automobile companies to invest too much manpower and material resources to engage in independent research and development."

"With this fund, it is better to improve the treatment of the group's employees and develop the production capacity of each factory."

When Zhu Zhengfeng said this, Chang Lei felt a little chill in his heart.

However, the boss has already said this, and he has no way to dispute it.

You can't just jump out and say that the market for technology is a false proposition.

The market has been swapped out, but the technology has not been learned.

……

"Editor-in-Chief Fang, I have bought a few spy photos of Xingchen Automobile's new car from the Internet at a high price."

"Compared to what Autohome released yesterday, our images are a little more clear, and there are several images with multiple angles."

"After this information is released, it will definitely attract a wave of traffic."

Lin Jiayan spent 20,000 yuan to buy the photos back, so naturally it seemed that she wanted to report it to Fang Dawen.

Otherwise, it will not be easy to report when the time comes to reimbursement.

"There has been such a serious leak, is Xingchen Motors indifferent?"

Fang Dawen felt that this matter was a bit weird.

As if there was something wrong with it.

"There is action, of course, it will not be indifferent."

"Their people have contacted them and said that these pictures were taken illegally and asked us to delete them."

"But let's not say whether we will really agree to delete it, even if we don't publish it, there are pictures of this on various forums."

"The appearance of Xingchen Automobile's new car is basically known to everyone."

Lin Jiayan quickly introduced the actions of Xingchen Automobile, and by the way, she also expressed her attitude.

"They asked us to delete it?"

Fang Dawen was overjoyed when he heard this, and continued: "If they don't react at all, I would have to wonder if this story was directed and acted by them. ”

"But now that people have contacted us and asked us to delete the images, I think it might be true."

"It seems that in the future, various car companies should pay more attention to shooting applications and confidentiality."

Fang Dawen looked at the picture that Lin Jiayan bought back at a high price, and took a serious look at it.

I really can't see any fame.

It seems that when people say they come out to play, they really come out to play.

At least on the surface, that's exactly what it is.

"If it was really leaked, then the person who took this photo is an employee inside Xingchen Automobile."

"No matter how bad it is, it's also a person in Nanshan Industrial Park, anyway, no matter which one it is, it's basically a person from Nanshan Group."

"They were flooded with the Dragon King Temple, it's very interesting."

Lin Jiayan looked a little gloating.

It's great that Xingchen has an accident.

Who told Xingchen Motors to not have any advertising cooperation with their channel until now?

Isn't that looking down on them?

In this case, when it comes to dealing with matters related to the Nanshan Group, they naturally have their own opinions on the channel.

"Continue to pay attention to this matter, and report any situation in time when the time comes."

Fang Dawen didn't say much.

Because he felt that this thing seemed a little strange.

But for a moment, he couldn't tell what the problem was.

……

Liu Tianwu has always been very concerned about the affairs of Nanshan Group.

Especially the things that Cao Yang specially asked for, he was personally grasping it.

As soon as he got to work this morning, he received a good news, and then personally brought his secretary to Nanshan Group to find Cao Yang.

"Mr. Cao, next week, your company will try not to arrange outside customers to visit, and don't do some crowd gathering activities."

"You don't have to arrange any business trips, just at the time of the company."

"Later, someone from the relevant departments will come over to make some safety confirmations in advance, and you let all departments and branches fully cooperate."

As soon as Liu Tianwu said this, Cao Yang immediately reacted.

Please before feeling yourself.,There's a result.。

"Leader, this time it's the imperial capital......

Although there was a guess in his heart, Cao Yang still said as he stretched out a finger and pointed upward.

"This aspect of the matter is not suitable for more communication, anyway, your company should pay more attention to this time, and there will be a special person to connect with you later."

"Just follow the instructions."

"I see that your Xingchen Automobile has made a lot of moves on the Internet during this time, and I will definitely go to see the prototype of Xingchen Automobile when the time comes."

"You also have to think about this content in advance, and see what you say and see when the time comes."

Liu Tianwu naturally wouldn't completely ignore this matter.

Although some things are not suitable to say too much, he will definitely help check and remind some specific precautions or something.

"Our Ziweixing has already had spy photos exposed, and it doesn't matter if the appearance picture is exposed next."

"At that time, Huaxia TV should arrange reporters to follow the shooting, but if you just take some exterior pictures, it still doesn't matter."

"It just so happens that we are also preparing to start releasing the appearance map of Zi Weixing in the next month."

As soon as Cao Yang said this, Liu Tianwu immediately asked, "Zi Weixing? Your Star One, finally decided on the name? ”

"Yes, it's called Ziweixing!"

"Isn't there still two names, Leo and Wenquxing, and they were also given bonuses when you solicited activities?"

In Liu Tianwu's view, since Xingchen Automobile has already spent its money, there is no reason not to use the names "Leo" and "Wenqu Xing".

"In the second half of the year, we are ready to launch the new model project of Xingchen 2 and Xingchen 3, and Wenqu Xing and Leo will be prepared for them at that time."

For Liu Tianwu, this information naturally has nothing to keep secret.

even told him in advance that Xingchen Automobile could get more support.

"Star Two and Star Three? Mr. Cao, what models will these two cars be? ”

Liu Tianwu looked at Cao Yang with great interest, he didn't come in vain today.

The 2,000 acres of land next to Nanshan Industrial Park are now being prepared for delivery to Nanshan Group.

Liu Tianwu naturally hopes that this land can be used as soon as possible.

Originally, this was prepared for Xingchen Automobile, and if it only relied on the 10,000 limited edition models of Ziweixing, it would definitely not need to build such a large factory.

Even the trial factories in Nanshan Industrial Park can meet the requirements.

After all, on average, a few years can produce less than 10 units a day.

There is no need to build a large-scale production line at all.

"We are also doing some internal planning work on models, but they have not yet been officially decided, and we have not yet held a project kick-off meeting for models."

"However, there is a high probability that it will be a large SUV and sports car, and the specific content will not be determined until the second half of the year."

Although Cao Yang already has a clear plan for Xingchen Automobile, it has not yet been decided, so naturally there is no need to say so dead.

"Large SUVs?"

"Isn't the market demand for this model a little small?"

Liu Tianwu couldn't help but show a disappointed expression.

You don't need to ask about sports cars, you know when you hear this word, it's not a volume model.

It's not even as exciting as Zi Weixing.

The rest is the large SUV.

In this part of the market, Liu Tianwu obviously has little confidence.

Until now, he had not heard of a domestic car company that produced large SUVs.

A small number of such models on the market are imported cars.

Not to mention the high price, the sales volume is not ideal.

"Leader, judging from the current market sales, the share of large SUVs is indeed very low."

"But that doesn't mean there's little consumer demand."

"My personal judgment is that the demand for SUV models in the Chinese market will continue to increase in the future, and even be on an equal footing with sedans in the future."

"Although the volume of large SUVs cannot be compared with the number of small and medium-sized SUVs, there is no problem with the market demand of hundreds of thousands, or even millions a year."

"Although the official positioning of our large SUV has not been determined, the annual production target will definitely exceed 20,000 units."

Cao Yang saw Liu Tianwu's disappointment, so he naturally wanted to explain it well.

Otherwise, the district has lost confidence or has little interest in Xingchen Motors, which is not a good thing.

"More than 20,000 units a year?"

"Can you sell it?"

"At that time, according to your positioning, the price will go at least five or six hundred thousand, right?"

Liu Tianwu's face was a little more expectant and worried.

If it can go to 20,000 units per year, it is a good figure.

It is equivalent to a one-year increase in sales of 10 billion yuan.

But if he can really sell these cars, he has no confidence.

"Five or six hundred thousand yuan is not enough to buy our large SUV, but the specific information will be finalized before the launch."

"As for whether I can sell it, I'm not too worried."

"Xingchen Automobile wants to build high-end models, but it's not a joke."

"All I can say is that we'll see."

There is no way to completely solve the problem of faith by just talking about it.

You can only look at it step by step.

In the future, the sales of Ziweixing will be good, and everyone's confidence will naturally follow.

It is useless to say more now.

"Mr. Cao, it's good if you have confidence."

"But if the three models are produced together, your trial factory should not be able to meet the production demand, right?"

When Liu Tianwu said this, Cao Yang also knew what he meant.

So without waiting for him to say anything further, Cao Yang took the initiative to say: "It's really not enough, so the next step is to start the construction of the automobile production plant." ”

"The initial plan is to build a production line with an annual output of 100,000 vehicles and large-displacement engines."

"At that time, some related supporting projects will also be launched one after another."

"According to the initial plan, the plant will be officially put into operation in 2007."

Since you want to draw cakes, let's draw them more clearly.

In particular, the leaders are about to come to inspect, and it is obviously necessary to take this opportunity to explain some plans.

Otherwise, what else will the leader listen to you?

"A vehicle production line with an annual output of 100,000 units and a large-displacement engine production line?"

"Great!"

"Mr. Cao, with your automobile factory, the GDP of our district will not have to worry about being counterattacked by other districts in the future."

In front of Cao Yang, Liu Tianwu also behaved more casually and cheerfully.

There is no place in China where the automobile factory is not welcome.

"By the way, there is a piece of news, although it has not yet been decided, but I think you may have heard a little bit of the rumor."

Liu Tianwu thought for a moment, and then said: "Yangcheng Automobile Group has now carried out a special project for the setting of its own brand models, and now the brand of Yangcheng Automobile Research Institute has been hung out. ”

"Soon we will start thinking about new models."

"According to the current situation, the factory of Yangcheng Automobile is likely to fall in our district."

"It's even possible that their address is not particularly far from the Nanshan Industrial Park."

"In this way, we can better form an industrial cluster effect."

For Liu Tianwu, this plan of Yangcheng Automobile Group is naturally a good thing.

Although it is still in a very early stage, there is no frown.

But at least the momentum is worth looking forward to.

"Yangcheng Automobile is going to engage in its own brand?"

"That's a good thing!"

Cao Yang didn't think it was strange.

According to the original trajectory of development, people originally wanted to set up their own brand car companies, and the later development was also good.

It's just that now due to the emergence of Nanshan Group or Xingchen Automobile, it has brought excitement to others.

People began to lay out their own brands in advance.

This is also a very normal thing.

"Well, it's a good thing indeed."

"When the time comes, some of their parts will probably come to you to buy."

Seeing that Cao Yang really didn't seem to mind, Liu Tianwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It would be embarrassing if Cao Yang didn't want to see Yangcheng Automobile's project fall in the same district.

Fortunately, in the end, this meeting was a joy for the guests and hosts.

"Mr. Cao, Ziweixing's prototype car has a lot of quality problems, I want to report it to you."

As soon as Liu Tianwu was sent away, Rao Yongxiang came over and said a bad thing.
