"Mr. Cao, in the past two days of professional visitor days, our booth has always been crowded and very popular."

"There are also endless topics on the Internet about our relationship with Porsche."

"Even the engines of BMW and Mercedes-Benz that you compared at the press conference were taken out by some media to make a fuss."

"Now Xingchen Automobile is the most eye-catching existence at this Yangcheng Auto Show."

"I think I can take this opportunity to add another fire?"

Zeng Tingting has been very excited these days.

Xingchen Automobile got off to a good start, and she had a lot of confidence in her heart.

"Add another fire?"

"What are you going to do?"

It's rare for Zeng Tingting to be so positive, and Cao Yang is naturally not good at dampening her enthusiasm, so I want to hear what she is going to do this time.

"Can we ask Autohome to invite Porsche's design director to do an interview with you to talk about car design?"

"Huaxia Taidu has already put on the hat of a design master for you, and Porsche Design Director Lai Ping is also a design master."

"The most important thing is that everyone is Chinese, and there will be a lot less sense of disobedience during the interview."

"Take this opportunity to let Xingchen Auto and Porsche have a sense of presence in front of consumers, maybe the other party will not refuse."

As soon as Zeng Tingting said this, Cao Yang naturally wanted to oppose it.

However, as soon as his mouth opened, he thought of the content of the chat with Fang Sisi that day.

Now that you've made your decision, let's move forward boldly.

"Okay, I have no opinion."

"As long as Autohome can invite people."

This interview is definitely a good thing for Xingchen Automobile, but it is difficult to say what Porsche thinks.

So the most critical point is not that Cao Yangtong disagrees, but whether Porsche Lai Ping is willing.

……

"Editor-in-chief, Autohome has just announced the news, and tomorrow morning they have invited the design director of Porsche and the design director of Xingchen Automobile to do a talk show together."

"It is said that when the time comes, it will be broadcast live on the Internet to share their respective design experiences with netizens."

Netease Auto Channel, Lin Jiayan frowned and reported a message to Fang Dawen.

In the past few days, thanks to the photos of various car models, the traffic of the car channel has increased a lot compared with the past.

Even the homepage of the website has a lot of articles on the car channel.

How long this situation can last depends on whether the content of the car channel is good.

"Didn't Xingchen Motors step on Porsche on the day of the media day?"

"They are actually willing to go on the show with Xingchen Automobile?"

Fang Dawen looked at Lin Jiayan in surprise.

On that day, he witnessed Cao Yang's operation, and directly pressed Cayman S to the floor and rubbed it.

This is definitely a very offensive thing.

Prior to this, no OEM in the entire Huaxia automobile circle did this.

"I don't think it's a surprise, but that's exactly how Autohome advertises."

"I think Porsche really agreed, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to advertise it like this."

Lin Jiayan suddenly felt a sense of envy in her heart at this time.

Being able to invite the design directors of Porsche and Xingchen Motors together for an interview at this time will definitely not lack traffic.

You must know that whether it is Autohome, their channel, or other portals, the recent popular reports are related to the Yangcheng Auto Show.

"Autohome dared to invite people from Porsche and Xingchen to sit together, and I think we should be a little more bold."

"Otherwise, there will never be a chance to be on an equal footing with Autohome in the future."

Fang Dawen felt a hint of crisis.

Autohome has now begun to pull the car channels of various portals behind.

If this situation is allowed to develop, things will be in trouble.

"Why don't we also invite the CEOs of Yangcheng Honda and BYD to come over for an interview?"

"I guess many netizens should also be interested."

Lin Jiayan listened to Fang Dawen's words and made a suggestion with a big brain.

However, with such an unreliable suggestion, Fang Dawen would definitely not agree.

It's totally disgusting.

Whether it is Yangcheng Honda or BYD, they will be jealous of them.

"Think about it again and see if there's any other option."

"I'm going to have a meeting later, so let's do it for now."

Fang Dawen waved his hand a little tiredly.

At the same time, Mi Ying commanded several assistants to prepare materials for this peak duel between Cao Yang and Lai Ping.

In the past, Cao Yang had told Mi Ying about recruiting a few assistants to help him share the business, but now Mi Ying is not a bare-bones commander.

"Mr. Cao, this Lai Ping's information has been sorted out."

"I didn't expect him to be a legend too."

Mi Ying didn't know that there was such a number one person as Lai Ping in this world.

I didn't know that Porsche's design director was a Chinese.

But this time at the Yangcheng Auto Show, Xingchen Automobile and Porsche are "on the bar".

On the same day, Lai Ping and Porsche's CEO and chairman of the board of directors appeared together in the video of Xingchen Automobile's booth, but the popular video between cars, and many netizens made some magic modifications on the basis of this video, which made the matter more popular.

"It's surprising that the Porsche 996, the Cayenne, the Boxster, the CaymanS, the BMW 3 Series, and even the Ford Fiesta were all his works."

Cao Yang had already done some things about Lai Ping, but when he saw the relatively complete information compiled by Mi Ying, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This senior, it's really not easy.

"Not only that, but his life experience is also very interesting."

"Because of my poor grades, I left home at the age of 17 to break into the world."

"I first worked in a textile factory in the New Territories, a draftsman in a shipyard, and a telephone route configuration cartographer in a telephone company, but I didn't do any job for long."

"By chance, the drawings he drew were noticed by an Italian furniture dealer and began to draw furniture drawings by hand."

"And when the friends who usually hang out with him all went to big companies, he realized that his youth was wasted."

Since then, he has used his only talent to teach himself how to design, and he has done his best to help clients draw design solutions.

"It is also because of the accumulation in the early stage and the fantasy of the future that I came up with the idea of developing towards design."

At the age of 21, he finally flew to Rome to study design.

"After a lot of hard work, the school was finally willing to take him in, and it took him 6 years of study before he finally passed the graduation assessment."

"It's just desperate that no company is willing to accept him after graduation."

"So he had to go aimlessly to Germany, the birthplace of the automobile."

"When he took his graduation project, the exterior design of a city bus, to apply for an assistant designer at Ford Europe, he was rejected on the spot."

He was so angry that he said; If you don't give young people a chance, how can you find the talent you need! ”

It was also because of these words that Ford became interested in this arrogant young man, and after re-watching his work, he was willing to offer a full scholarship to let him study at the Royal College of Art in London for two years, and then return to Ford.

"From then on, his life began to change."

"From a scumbag to a top student in the world, I started my life in various companies."

Mi Ying is obviously very familiar with the information she has organized.

Tomorrow, she will go to Autohome with Cao Yang to participate in a talk show, and if something goes wrong, her little secretary will definitely be easily blamed.

So Mi Ying made some preparations very carefully.

"As the first Chinese design master in the automotive field, Mr. Lai's story is actually very inspiring."

"I'll talk to the teacher and see if I can invite him to Lingnan University of Science and Technology to give a lecture."

"It would be better if he could be recruited to Lingnan University of Science and Technology as a teacher after he retires in the future."

Cao Yang didn't expect to dig Lai Ping into Xingchen Automobile.

If you don't give some shares to a person of this level, it is estimated that people will not look down on a Chinese start-up.

Even if you already have a product that looks amazing.

People don't necessarily want to.

Of course, if you pay tens of millions of dollars a year, that's a different matter.

The key is that Cao Yang didn't plan to waste money like this.

"I guess there is hope for a lecture, but being a teacher in the past is probably enough."

"Unless people's mentality changes in the future, then it is not impossible to go for some honors."

A university professor, even an honorary professor, is attractive to many people.

Mi Ying's analysis is also quite reasonable.

However, Cao Yang didn't dwell on this issue, and when he interviewed him tomorrow, he would contact him first.

……

Autohome takes today's interview very seriously.

not only arranged text and video live broadcasts, but also specially invited a host from Lingnan Satellite TV.

Cao Yang, as the biggest beneficiary of this matter, naturally came over on time to cooperate with the interview.

Normally, this kind of interview has an outline, and the host Wu Yan is also ready to communicate with Cao Yang and Lai Ping in advance.

But this time, whether it was Cao Yang or Lai Ping, they just glanced at the outline and had no opinions.

In their opinion, in this talk show, they can talk about whatever they want, and they just don't answer the topics they don't want to talk about when the time comes.

There is no need to go through the outline in advance.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!"

"Today, I am honored to have Lai Ping, Design Director of Porsche Motors, and Cao Yang, Design Director of Xingchen Automobile, to visit our Autohome."

"You may be familiar with car brands, but you are relatively unfamiliar with car designers."

"I'll introduce you to the two design masters in another way, and you must have a feeling."

After a few people met, they briefly greeted each other for a while, and then began the interview.

Lai Ping dealt with him better than he imagined, and he didn't put on a big show.

Of course, the beginning of this interview must be handed over to the host.

Cao Yang and Lai Ping are only responsible for answering questions and chatting.

"When it comes to Porsche, the most familiar estimate is the 911."

"The Porsche 911 series is one of the most legendary models in the whole of Porsche, in the whole of Germany, and in the whole world, and it is also one of the masterpieces of the mid-rear-engine sports car."

"In 1996, a new generation of Porsche 911 designed by Mr. Lai was launched."

"This is the most daring design change in the history of the 911, setting a new sales record and freeing Porsche from the fate of being acquired."

"In addition, there are many well-known models, which are also designed by Mr. Lai." clause

"For example, the first-generation Porsche Cayenne, I think many people think it is very classic."

"This is the first SUV model in Porsche's history."

"The design of this model adopts the classic elements of the Porsche 911 and incorporates the practicality and off-road performance of an SUV."

"Its exterior lines are sleek and the body style is so avant-garde that it won't feel outdated even if it's a decade from now."

With Wu Yan's introduction, Lai Ping put his hands together very modestly and said: "I have won the award, this is the credit of the entire design team, not my efforts alone." ”

"I think the model designed by Mr. Cao is even more amazing."

"Whether it's Ford's F150 or Chevrolet's silverado, they are all regulars on the best-selling list in North America."

"I heard that I also cooperated with Honda Motors in the N-BOX before, and I am also a frequent customer of the monthly sales champion in the Toei car industry."

"The purple microstar that appeared at the auto show this time is even more amazing."

"Huaxia automobile design talents have finally begun to catch up with the pace of the world."

Lai Ping is in his fifties, and he is not as impulsive as when he was young.

Besides, when he was at the auto show, he vaguely felt that the design of Zi Weixing was thought of with him, and he inevitably felt a sense of sympathy in his heart.

So in today's interview, he really didn't come to smash the scene.

I wanted to come over and have a good chat with Cao Yang to see what was different about Huaxia, a newly rising car designer.

"Mr. Lai was able to stand out in Europe, where car design is the most powerful, not only contributing the classic 3 Series to BMW, but also allowing Porsche to completely get out of the quagmire in recent years, which can be said to be indispensable."

"Relatively speaking, I just stood on the shoulders of giants and made some efforts."

Everyone is so modest, Cao Yang will naturally not be so uninteresting.

The sedan chair was carried by everyone.

At the beginning, it was natural to praise each other.

The host Wu Yan is also very good at seizing the opportunity, interspersing sentences in it from time to time, and the atmosphere is quite harmonious.

"Mr. Lai has been in Europe for so many years, is he interested in returning to China for development?"

"I think many colleges and universities hope to cooperate with Mr. Lai, and various car companies in China also welcome Mr. Lai to join."

After arguing for more than half an hour, Cao Yang couldn't help but ask a topic that many people were interested in.

However, with such a blatant digging into the wall, Porsche's CEO is estimated to be furious.
