Chapter 113: Dare to Come
On the car test track, Gaius Norman, who had experienced a few laps in the car, got out of the car with a pale face.
A special test assistant on the side wanted to hand him the test data, but he waved his hand and refused.
Because he has experienced it himself, he doesn't need to look at the data to know that the shock absorption and deceleration data of Ma Tianming No. 2 will not be worse than their Mercedes at all, and may even surpass.
Mercedes' worst enemy really appeared.
"Drive this car to the automotive R&D department to dismantle it and study it, and analyze the structure inside!" Gaius Norman dropped a sentence and headed for his office.
When he returned to the office, he also collapsed on the chair, his face was extremely ugly, and he didn't know how to deal with the headquarters.
The phone of the director of the headquarters Francisco Hancock also rang at the right time, presumably seeing the worse order data this week and calling to question.
Gaius Norman was out of breath and couldn't get through.
"What's going on? Gaius, why is it that after dropping to 880,000, our order data is even worse? Francisco Hancock's first question was not to Gaius Norman's surprise.
Gaius Norman wanted to say angrily: "If you have the ability, you can come to Huaguo to try?" ”
But when the words came to his mouth, he still held back, and said the current situation on the phone in a calm tone: "The reputation of Tianming No. 2 is rising, and more and more people are praising this car......
I just came back from the test site and my ride on the Tianming 2 was very good, no less than our product ......"
Francisco Hancock was shocked when he heard this: "How is that possible? Is the car built by Ma Tian in 9 months so good? Have you taken it apart to see the accessories inside? ”
"I've already asked the R&D side to dismantle it, and the result is estimated to wait for tomorrow!" Gaius Norman replied weakly.
Seeing Gaius Norman look dejected, Francisco Hancock fell silent. If this is true, Gaius Norman cannot be blamed for his misperformance in China.
Mercedes-Benz is completely compared to other people's goods. With the bundled sales of Tianzi and excellent quality, Tianming No. 2 car is simply a raptor crossing the river.
"Gaius, don't be careful, things haven't reached the point of no return, we still have a lot of ways to deal with it!" Looking at the decadent Gaius Norman, Francisco Hancock cheered.
There is no room for failure in the Chinese market, and in any case, Gaius Norman cannot collapse now, and if he wants to be dismissed, he will have to wait for the market to stabilize.
"Let's lower the price again, drag the BMW into the water, and then deal with Ma Tianming No. 2 together!"
"Okay, Director Francisco!" Gaius Norman did as a marionette.
On BMW's side, what worries Ruch Graham the most has happened, Mercedes-Benz has cut the price to 680,000, which is almost the same as the price of their 660,000 hybrid cars.
Because rich people don't care about the 20,000 gap at all.
"It's against the sky, Ma Tian!"
Ruch Graham paced in the office, this horse is really an industry disruptor, and he forced Mercedes-Benz to drop to the same price range as their BMW in a month, which is simply against the sky.
"Gaius, why did you Mercedes cut the price again?" Ruch Graham called Gaius Norman and asked.
"Lu He, join forces, Ma Tianming's No. 2 is already menacing!" Instead of answering the question, Gaius Norman said something about joining forces.
"What's a team-up method?"
"Offline talk!" Gaius Norman said.
……
This time, as soon as the price of Ma Tianming No. 2 dropped to 700,000, a joint attack from Mercedes-Benz and BMW came.
"Shocked, after the analysis of Mercedes-Benz researchers, Tianming-2 has a huge hidden danger"
BMW R&D personnel also pointed out that Tianming No. 2 is just an assembly product, and some details need to be improved.
……
Mercedes-Benz and BMW jointly issued a statement confirming that the internal structure of the Tianming No. 2 car has great hidden dangers. Engines that are not assembled according to strict rules can cause serious problems after six months or a year.
The two companies used their long-established car brand image to mislead consumers into believing that there was something wrong with the Tianming No. 2 car.
The media is also following the hype:
"Dr. Artis, you are an automotive engineer here at Mercedes-Benz, what do you think of the interior design of the Tianming No. 2 car?"
Dr. Artis: "Uh... I think the Tianming No. 2 car is just a fuel car assembled with a motor to become a hybrid car, but Tianyu Xinghai is inexperienced, and there is a problem with the coordination between the motor and the fuel engine.
Although consumers can't see anything now, after half a year or a year, they may find some problems, such as the engine is abnormally loud, the horsepower is insufficient, etc., and in serious cases, the control switching may become a problem......"
As two old car brands, there is still credibility, and naturally, consumers will chuckle when they see this news.
Inquiries and cancellations of orders have come one after another, and the sales of Tianming No. 2 have been blocked for the first time since its listing.
Su Xihua, as the general manager of Tianyu Xinghai Automobile Department, even in media interviews, repeatedly emphasized that there was no problem with Tianming No. 2 Automobile, but it still did not recover the decline.
In the final analysis, many people would rather believe that foreign garbage is good than believe in the sudden rise of domestic brands.
And the Tianzi number has been bought, if the car is returned, Tianyu Xinghai will not be able to recover the Tianzi number, and some people also want to return it with such an idea.
The effect of Mercedes-Benz and BMW's move is not weak, as can be seen from the order data for a week after the announcement.
Mercedes-Benz S400 orders this week have directly pulled back to half of the peak, although there is still a long way to go from the peak before the release of Tianming No. 2, but it is always improving, isn't it?
BMW's Ruch Graham looked at the order data and cursed, and had no choice but to reduce the price of his hybrid car from 660,000 yuan to 560,000 yuan, avoiding the price area of Mercedes-Benz and Tianming No. 2.
At present, the order situation in Huaguo's high-end new energy vehicle market is 700,000 yuan for Tianming No. 2 (questioned), >680,000 yuan for Mercedes-Benz S400> 560,000 BMW hybrid vehicles.
……
Su Xihua looked at the data in the office and said nothing, although the current data shows that Tianming No. 2 still has the upper hand, but the rebound in Mercedes-Benz sales is not what Tianyu Xinghai wants to see.
The main reason for this setback is the lack of credibility of Tianyu Xinghai in the automotive field, and the lack of confidence of Chinese people in domestic brands.
If there is no bundled sales of Tianzihao, it can be said that Tianming No. 2 is not as good as Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
The transformation of faith does not happen overnight, and can only be fermented by the proof of time and word of mouth.
Su Xihua sorted out the information and came to Ma Tian's office to report.
Ma Tian was not sad or happy after hearing this, the key to breaking the game this time still lies in him, and there is no other way.
"Go ahead, prepare a press conference, and make an appointment with relevant reporters to interview me!" Ma Tianxia ordered.
"Okay, Mr. Ma!" Su Xihua immediately understood Ma Tian's intentions.
Soon after, a group of reporters gathered in the special room of Tianyu Xinghai, waiting for Ma Tian's arrival.
Li Runqi appropriately asked the Propaganda Department to write a post titled "The Strongest Post-90s Ma Tian Live Responds to Rumors", which was hung up on the hot search.
Suddenly, curious netizens also jumped to the live broadcast link to watch the press conference.
[Big man Ma Tian is going to develop a development plan again? ] 】
[Looking forward to it, every Ma Tian boss's press conference is very exciting! ] 】
……
made netizens not wait long, and Ma Tian appeared.
Immediately, the audience became a sensation, and the flashing lights began to gather on Ma Tian.
But this time Ma Tian did not wear sunglasses, and his demeanor was also very solemn, whether it was the media at the scene or the netizens watching the live broadcast, they could feel Ma Tian's unhappiness.
Ma Tian, who was standing in the center of the stage, also looked at the camera with a serious face.
When it was almost time, he opened in a heavy tone:
"Good afternoon, friends! Today, we came to the development conference, as you expected, in response to the recent rumors spread by some companies on our Tianming Automobile!
I was very unhappy about it, and I wasn't happy because my car's sales were down, because I didn't care.
If you know a little bit about it, you can also know that my Tianrun I can earn me more than 100 billion a year and 300 million a day.
In comparison, selling cars is not profitable for me at all, and I can also tell you responsibly that I even lost money on the Tianming I I sold to everyone. ”
Ma Tian brought the atmosphere to a climax with just a few words, especially when he heard Ma Tian really say that he made more than 100 billion a year, netizens were boiling!
[I rely on it, Ma Tian finally admitted that he made more than 100 billion a year, I still don't believe it when I see it on the Internet! ] 】
[More than 100 billion? Ma Tian should be talking about pure profit, it's terrifying! 】
[300 million a day, 12.5 million per hour, 20833 per minute, 300 per second!] 】
[Ma Tian lost 1,000 yuan, and he didn't have to bend down to pick it up, because he probably earned it back when he picked up the money! ] 】
……
A group of business tycoons who have nothing to do to watch the live broadcast, such as Ma Huateng and Ma Yun are also silent, they are also from their own family, why are you so good!
Ma Tian waited for the audience to be quiet before continuing: "In Capital, there is a sentence called 'seeing the essence through the phenomenon', and the thing that I am unhappy about today is because I have seen through this rumor that our people are not confident in domestic car brands.
Why do some companies say a few words casually, and some of our Chinese people believe that there is a problem with our Tianming car? This question is worth pondering, I don't expand here, the topic is too profound, and it doesn't fit my style.
My style is still:
Who is that, I don't remember the name of the engineer, a few dishes, dare to question the car I built, don't run back to China if you have the ability, come to Tianyu Xinghai to "learn" in person.
Let's dismantle my Tianming No. 2 on the spot to argue, is there something wrong with my car or you deliberately spread rumors.
If you win, I'll give you 100 million US dollars, and if you lose, let me go in and step on the sewing machine for 80 years, and ask if you dare to come?
Do you dare to come! ”
