What happened at Tesla's press conference quickly spread to Huaguo and quickly caused heated discussions among netizens.

And the main focus of everyone's argument is also mainly on Marsk's two answers.

Whether the battery swap mode is really a curve development that makes up for the lack of technology through the business model,

and the question of Musk's positioning of himself and Kangchi as a "hero of civilization" and "national hero".

The second question, in particular, is the most hotly debated.

Through the Mars immigration program, Musk has successfully labeled himself as an interstellar pioneer of human civilization, a pioneer, and a challenger.

And he did take action to do so.

Therefore, although he has an arrogant personality and is often exposed to personal emotions and ideological extremes, he still has a large number of loyal fans around the world.

As for Kangchi, from the current point of view, it is indeed more like a national hero who helps China catch up with developed countries, and may not contribute much to the development of science and technology of the entire human civilization.

But don't forget, Musk is actually a little old man who is almost fifty years old, and Kangchi is only thirty years old.

Twenty years ago, Musk's career was just starting, with a net worth of only hundreds of millions of dollars, and later it was even on the verge of bankruptcy.

Therefore, in the face of Musk's evaluation and the controversy of netizens, Kangchi just smiled and did not make any response.

man

Who doesn't have a dream of a sea of stars?

It's just that things have to come step by step, and the national conditions of China and M are different, so there is no need to think about running away when the road is still unstable.

In fact, Datang Heavy Industries' press conference was scheduled for November 2, which was planned before, but it just happened to bump into Tesla's press conference.

This may have given Musk the illusion that he was being targeted by Kangchi, so he had this somewhat 'competitive' remark.

God knows, Kangchi is not targeting Tesla at all,

It's all new energy vehicle companies......

……

The next night, amid the controversy and much attention, Datang Heavy Industries' press conference finally began.

The venue of this press conference is in Datang Heavy Industries.

This is a purely online live broadcast conference, except for the staff, and internal staff, no offline audience is invited.

The venue is also very simple, a big screen was set up in the workshop, and there was no booth even built, let alone painstakingly creating a sense of science and technology through the stage atmosphere.

However, the picture that looks a little simple has not affected the popularity of Datang Heavy Industries' live broadcast room at all.

Millions of viewers stayed in the live broadcast room early,

While watching the countdown to the start of the live broadcast, they continued the various topics of discussion that had been discussed before.

As the countdown to the live broadcast is getting closer and closer, the number of people in the live broadcast room is also increasing, and at the end of the countdown, when Kangchi walked into the camera, it exceeded 30 million in one fell swoop!

This is not an entertaining live broadcast of the LOL Global Finals, but a company's product launch.

Especially for a commodity such as automobiles, even people who have demand usually do not wait for the new car launch of car companies......

Because according to the marketing ideas of domestic car companies, before the official release of the new car, it has actually built enough momentum, and news such as various road tests have already made everyone have a number in their hearts.

Waiting for the press conference, all users who really want to buy come and see the specific price.

And Datang Heavy Industries, this wave, nothing was announced before, just let the public speculate, which stimulated everyone's curiosity.

In addition, Kangchi also has a large fan base, and Musk's controversial remarks yesterday directly turned this press conference into the focus of public opinion.

"Good evening everyone, I am your old friend Kangchi, welcome to watch the live broadcast of our new product launch conference of Datang Heavy Industries."

After Kangchi came to the stage, he first said a normal opening remark, and then behind him, a line of words appeared:

What kind of new energy vehicle do you want? 】

In fact, normally speaking, Kangchi should first render his original intention and purpose of building new energy vehicles at this time.

But to be honest, everyone is tired of hearing what kind of green environmental protection and low-carbon things like, and the more essential energy security issues are inconvenient for public discussion.

It may even aggravate everyone's rejection of new energy vehicles, believing that this is for energy security, and forcing everyone to buy electric vehicles that actually do not save money......

Therefore, Kangchi directly skipped this link and went directly to the topic:

"In fact, I don't think it's necessary to emphasize the word new energy, because whether it is a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle or a fuel vehicle, it is actually the same kind of transportation, but the driving mode is different."

"So I'll change the question a little bit more."

As Kangchi pressed the button in his hand, the question on the screen immediately changed to:

[What kind of car do you want?] 】

The netizens in the live broadcast room also immediately began to express their opinions on this issue.

Kangchi didn't give everyone much time to discuss, and then said: "Actually, I don't need to watch the barrage, I know that everyone's answers must be varied, because everyone's needs are actually different." ”

"But today, we will only release one car, so this car will definitely not meet everyone's needs."

"But I thought if we could go back to the essence of a car, it would be enough for most people, so I started with myself and thought about what I wanted in the past."

"Actually, when I was running a camera repair shop two years ago, I had a very strong desire to buy a car."

"It's just that because I don't usually need a car for work, considering that I buy a car that is idle most of the time, and I don't have much money in my pocket, I finally endured it."

"But when it comes to the Chinese New Year, the idea suddenly becomes stronger."

"Because my home is in a ravine and the train can't go directly, so every time I go home for the New Year to grab a train ticket, I still have to calculate the time to transfer to the car to see if it can match the time when the train arrives, if not, how long will I have to wait, whether to go to the Internet café to make do, or to go to the hotel to open a room to rest."

"Even, it's a question of whether you can buy a ticket......

"In addition, when I go to relatives, I always carry large bags and small bags, either squeezing the bus, or rubbing the cars of relatives and friends, which is very troublesome."

"At this time, I will think, if you have a car of your own, you can go wherever you want, wherever you want, how great it would be!"

Kangchi's sharing based on his own experience immediately resonated with a large number of audiences.

At the same time, it also suddenly shortened the distance between Kangchi and the audience.

At this time, everyone suddenly remembered that just two years ago, Kangchi was just an ordinary person like everyone else.

He also has to go home for the Chinese New Year, grab train tickets, and go to relatives......

And his economic situation is the same as that of thousands of ordinary people, or even worse.

However, in everyone's minds, Kangchi has always been relatively down-to-earth, and has never shown a lofty posture because it has been developed, but it is considered by ordinary consumers everywhere.

This is also why many netizens have been calling on everyone not to call him Master Kong because Master Kong's instant noodles have R qualifications, but there are still many people who like to call him that.

It feels very down-to-earth and intimate.

"So, what is the essence of a car?"

Kang Chi suddenly woke up from his memories, changed his words, and began to analyze seriously:

"I think from my own perspective at that time, and I have summarized the following points."

[Reasonable price, safe and reliable, practical space, comfortable ride]

"These attributes, in fact, are also the most common in family cars." Kangchi pointed to the screen,

"Among the fuel vehicles, there are many civilian family cars that sell very well, such as Lavida, Corolla, Sylphy, Cruze, etc., although they may not be able to meet all the above four points, but they must meet at least two or three points, otherwise it will not become a family car that sells well in the world."

"But when it comes to the field of new energy vehicles, everything seems to have changed suddenly."

"It's hard for us to find an electric car that is as simple and durable as a family fuel car, as if there is no big color TV, big sofa or refrigerator, and it is a very shameless thing to make an electric car like a traditional fuel car."

"I know some people may feel disappointed, even think that I am driving a high-tech reverse...... But I still decided that the first new energy vehicle I wanted to build would pursue the ultimate cost performance and practicality, so it was not high-tech at all. ”

"It's just the most traditional household fuel car, just the most ordinary means of transportation."

For the positioning of Datang Heavy Industry's first model, in fact, in addition to the reason that Kangchi said, there is also a strategic reason that is inconvenient to say directly.

That is the main task of this car, which is not to make money at all, but to promote pure electric vehicles and battery swap mode.

Since we want to promote this model, we must go to volume.

This determines its price, which must be affordable for most people.

Of course, what Kangchi just said is indeed his heartfelt words.

He really wants to make electric vehicles, or cars, enter more people's lives, so that everyone can feel the convenience of travel brought by cars at a lower cost.

Kangchi does not deny that there must be consumers who like the sense of science and technology, like to turn the car into a home, and there are any household appliances.

But that can be done after the battery swap mode is successful.

Or, directly let other car companies meet the needs of this part of consumers.

As Kangchi's voice slowly fell, a picture of a sedan suddenly appeared on the big screen, as well as its name:

【Datang Heavy Industries-Back to Basics】

When the audience saw the picture, they were shocked.

I saw that the overall shape of this sedan is very simple and generous, although the whole vehicle adopts a streamlined and rounded design in order to reduce wind resistance, but the front and rear of the car have appropriately added some tough lines, especially the through-type sharp headlights with the middle of the 'Datang Heavy Industry' four industrial flavor, the appropriate size of the tough wind Chinese character LOGO, giving people a strong visual impact.

"it!"

"After so much foreshadowing, I almost thought that Master Kong had made an old man's music, but I didn't expect it to be so good-looking?"

"666, Master Kong is really a master, and you know to lower your expectations first, and then surprise us?"

"Ah, although it looks cool, it's a pity that it's not my thing, and Ora is still pretty."

“……”

Netizens immediately expressed their opinions on the shape of this car, although everyone's aesthetics are different, some people like it and some people don't like it.

But overall, it is a little surprising for most people, and it is actually half the battle.

Kang Chi also glanced at the live barrage displayed under the stage, and then couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it is said that it is necessary to pursue the ultimate cost performance and practicality, the body shape design has little impact on the manufacturing cost, and it is of course the best to design it to look good.

Although there may be a dislike of 'showmanship', but just like a blind date with a girl, if the girl looks like a dinosaur, then no matter how gentle and virtuous she is, most men will probably slip away directly, and they won't give a chance to learn more about it at all......

After revealing the overall shape, a real car also slowly drove in and stopped beside Kangchi, and then Kangchi began to face the camera and explain the real situation of the car to everyone.

8.2-inch central control screen,

A large number of traditional physical keys and knobs,

Instrument panel with mechanical pointers,

……

Autonomous driving, panoramic sunroof, 360-degree panoramic image, seat heating, ventilation and massage, zonal air conditioning, leather sofa, KTV mode, game mode, etc.,

Sorry, not at all!

Originally, everyone thought that the car explained by Kangchi was only the lowest configuration, and when you really bought it, you could choose a high-end version.

As a result, Kangchi directly explained: "Our car only has this one configuration, regardless of high and low configuration. ”

As soon as these words came out, netizens were shocked.

"it...... Is it really unpretentious? ”

"666, Master Kong doesn't deceive me, this is really the same as the name of the car, what is important is a return to the basics."

"However, as a car owner, I think that these functions reduced by Master Kong are indeed not used several times a year, anyway, I now regret spending tens of thousands of dollars more for these unused configurations."

"The budget of more than 150,000 yuan can be withdrawn, Master Kong has made it clear this time that he wants to build a national god car like Wuling, pursuing the ultimate cost performance, and it is definitely impossible to engage in so many advanced functions like a luxury car."

“……”

In the discussion of netizens, Kangchi finally finished introducing the interior and functions, which can be seen at a glance, but also the biggest weakness of this car.

On the contrary, those places that cannot be seen are the soul of this car.

Especially when it comes to safety, crazy stacking.

A large number of hot-formed high-strength alloy steels are used in the driver's cab, and all of them are G in the crash test of Huabaoyan, ranking sixth overall, which is a very good result.

In addition, the central control main and auxiliary airbags, front and rear side airbags and head air curtains make a full eight airbags to fully protect driving safety.

In terms of space, thanks to the smaller size of the high-density sodium-ion battery pack and the fact that there are not too many enjoyable functional modules, this car is larger than the traditional A-class family fuel car in terms of riding space and storage space, and even does not lose some B-class cars.

The chassis basically follows the manufacturing platform of Qirui Arrizo, although it is certainly not comparable with the luxury brand of high-end sedans, but as an ordinary family car, it is definitely enough.

As for the electric motor, it was manufactured by Datang Heavy Industries itself.

The three major components of a traditional fuel vehicle are the engine, gearbox, and chassis, while an electric vehicle becomes the motor, battery, and chassis.

Among these three major parts, Qirui is responsible for OEM, in fact, only the body chassis and vehicle assembly, and the other two core technologies are Datang Heavy Industries.

"Although positioned as a practical family car, the true electric motor torque is as high as 390N· M, the maximum design speed can reach 200 kilometers per hour, and the three power modes can basically meet most of the driving needs. ”

"SPECIAL REMINDER, ALTHOUGH WE CAN DRIVE UP TO 200KM/H IN THE TEST, BUT ALL OLD DRIVERS MUST NOT SPEED WHEN DRIVING, IF YOU DRIVE 200 YARDS, LET ALONE EIGHT AIRBAGS, 800 IS USELESS......"

"Well, the above are the main performance parameters of this true-to-life."

After briefly demonstrating the switching method of the three power modes, Kangchi got out of the car and concluded directly:

"This is a return to the truth jointly developed by Datang Heavy Industries and Qirui Automobile, although it does not have rich and luxurious configurations, but its honest and honest characteristics can definitely become a good helper for everyone's travel."

"Huh?"

"That's it?"

"You don't say that the electric car has a battery life? You have to have a battery life when you change the battery, right? ”

"And the price?"

“……”

Netizens were immediately stunned.

And Anil, who was watching the live broadcast, also breathed a sigh of relief, this new car released by Datang Heavy Industries, and their Tesla can be said to be basically not a competitor on the same track, and there is no intention of touching Tesla in the whole process.

And Kang Chi in the live broadcast room, after seeing the barrage questions from netizens, suddenly smiled:

"Don't worry, everyone, the return to truth is just the first part of the press conference, after watching this 'not high-tech' return to the truth, next I want you to see the real high-tech things!"
