Chapter 493: Competing for the International Market

With about a quarter of the world's population, China is arguably the market with the greatest potential.

However, the greatest potential means that the developed market has not reached the maximum.

Don't look at the sales momentum of the first batch of Sunshine Motors after the launch, but that is actually false, it is completely because of the performance brought by the early foreshadowing and hunger-thirst marketing, which does not explain anything.

In fact, the senior management of Sunshine Automobile Group, including Zhang Ziyi, is aiming at the international market, intending to hit the international market first, and then turn back to capture the domestic market after making a name for himself in the world.

There is no way, the national conditions are like this, most Chinese people look down on their own country's brands, and always feel that domestic cars are not as face-saving as joint venture cars or imported cars.

You don't see several major domestic independent brand manufacturers, whether it is the Great Wall, Geely or BYD, no matter how high the sales are, there will always be many people pointing to your car and saying: Look, this is the best silk to drive!

For the sake of a false face, many people would rather spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars more to buy a car of a joint venture brand -- if they can't afford to buy a purely imported one, they must at least buy a foreign brand.

For example, Geely's SUV model GX12 official price range is 80,000 yuan to 130,000 yuan, while the price range of a joint venture brand car with the same configuration conditions is 180,000 yuan to 230,000 yuan!

This means that the person who buys that joint venture car is equivalent to spending 100,000 yuan to buy a car logo for nothing......

Zhao Sidong supports Zhang Ziyi's idea that to enter the international market with the brand of Sunshine Automobile, not only to enter, but also to occupy a sufficient market share in the international market and form a good reputation, so as to reverse the impact on the domestic market!

And to do that, the upcoming European Touring Motor Show in a month is the perfect opportunity to do so.

"Well, we have already received the relevant invitation letters, the time has been set, just go over when the time comes, as for the demonstration of the prototype, we have also contacted an ocean shipping company, and we will leave a few days in advance. Zhang Ziyi reported on the phone and said: "By the way, regarding the design of the second batch of products, the design department and the R&D department jointly put forward a request, saying that it is ...... He said he wanted to take the prototype car and study it. ”

"What?" Zhao Sidong was stunned, the second batch of products?

Then he remembered that he seemed to have said before that the second batch of products would be SUV models, and the prototype cars seemed to be the batch of Transformers he had refined!

Thinking of this, he immediately refused, "No, you know what those so-called looks are, and if you let them borrow them, those idiots will annoy them." You know, their core is machine spirits, have you seen a few good-natured machine spirits?"

This is very reasonable, the Transformers team that filmed the advertising video is actually created by Zhao Sidong casually according to his own aesthetics in terms of appearance, there are streamlined types, some fierce types, and the existing models on the market are very different. If you just want to borrow from the exterior and interior layout, this is not a problem, the big deal is to lend it out and let them take pictures and videos and then study it slowly.

But the problem is that it is not only these that need to be referenced, but also the internal wiring, frame structure, body stress, etc., which needs to be demonstrated and experimented in detail, which means that the appearance will definitely be dismembered again.

As a Transformer with a machine spirit, the Iron Pillar will never allow such a thing to happen, and if they are provoked by the time, they will transform collectively on the spot, so how many people will not be scared to death?

What's more, even if they can endure it and don't transform, the various parts of the body are not controlled through circuits, but are formed diagrams! Wouldn't it be difficult for those researchers to learn formation diagrams?

In short, in any case, the Transformers team must not be lent out for research, at most they can learn from the exterior and interior aspects, and whether those powerful functions can be realized depends entirely on the ability of the research and development personnel.

After some tossing, Zhao Sidong finally rushed to eastern Guangdong Province with his Transformers team, met Zhang Ziyi at the Automobile Research Institute of Sunshine Motor Group, and then asked those researchers to take pictures and 360-degree all-round video recordings of the car, and use computer software to analyze the three-dimensional data map.

Fortunately, with the development of science and technology, software allows people to use computers to complete many tasks that require countless manpower and material resources to complete in reality, which greatly saves production costs.

For example, as in the present day, after collecting data about the iron pillars, the computer immediately generates a three-dimensional image, which is exactly the same as the real car in terms of exterior and interior.

Next, the engineers took out various instruments and connected them to the car and began to test the data.

This process gave them countless shocks.

"Oh my God, how is this possible?" An engineer in charge of recording power looked down at the data displayed on the instrument, turned his head and asked, "Mr. Zhao, are you sure this car has a 2.0 displacement?"

Zhao Sidong nodded, "What, is there a problem?"

The engineer's eyes flashed with a frenzied light, and he exclaimed, "Of course there is! You know, this car is so powerful, and the results from the instruments show that it is already as powerful as those large displacement cars with a displacement of more than four .0! If you want to drag race with this car, I bet you can completely throw off everyone else with just one start!"

Zhao Sidong smiled slightly, and said noncommittally: "This car is a specially customized version, and the ordinary civilian version does not need such a strong power, so you can use the performance data of the most powerful two-point zero displacement engine in the world as a reference index when you are designing, so that you can do it." ”

After hearing the words 'special custom version' and 'civilian version', the engineer's face changed, a strong look of fear flashed in his eyes, and he reluctantly smiled and responded: "Yes, if it is mass-produced, it definitely doesn't need to be designed so powerfully, otherwise the price will not fly to the sky......"

I have to say that the information that Zhao Sidong got back from the island country is indeed very detailed, and after the researchers thoroughly ate it, the level suddenly rose sharply, not to mention being in the leading position in the world, at least it has reached the level of international advanced level.

After more than 20 days of development, the prototype of the second batch of products came out.

This batch of models are all SUVs, named after the zodiac signs, from entry-level SUVs to full-size SUVs, and there are exactly two models corresponding to each class.

After testing, the performance of these cars in all aspects has reached the international advanced level, and even the international leading level, according to everyone's predictions, the participation in the European tour car show will get a good result.

......

A month later, Sunshine Motor Group announced the results of its participation in the European Touring Motor Show.

On the spot, agency contracts were signed for European countries, with a total of 350,000 large contracts, which is absolutely beyond people's imagination.

You know, Huaxia exported less than 1 million cars to other countries last year, and Sunshine Automobile Group's trip to Europe brought more than 30% of its share, how can it not be surprising?

This also set a record for the export of domestic independent brands, which triggered a new round of domestic rush to buy.

For most people, a car that foreigners like must be a good car!

Therefore, when the second batch of products has not yet been listed, Sunshine Automobile Group has received countless orders, and the news fed back from 4S stores across the country shows that at present, each 4S store will receive more than 100 potential customers every day to inquire about the launch time of this batch of SUVs.

Therefore, with the approval of Zhao Sidong, Sunshine Automobile Group announced that the second batch of products will be officially launched a month later, that is, on the National Day.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens, and countless people expressed optimism and anticipation, and many people geared up, tightened their belts, and were ready to wait until the day of the National Day to rush to buy - they have heard that the current limited production capacity is limited, and the shipments will not be too high, plus to complete the orders from Europe, so the number of domestic each month is quite limited, if you don't hurry up, you have to wait in line for three or five months to mention the car.

I think that the H6 of the Great Wall Haval was very popular back then, there was such a situation, the supply exceeded the demand, and some places even waited for half a year before the car could be picked up!

Seeing this fiery scene, Zhao Sidong was also very happy, although he already knew that the earth was just a subspace of the Jiuzhou world, but after all, he was born here in this life and grew up here, so he still hopes to see the rise of his motherland.

Although the hot sales of Sunshine Automobile do not show how strong Huaxia is in the automobile manufacturing industry, it is at least a proof that Huaxia's comprehensive strength has indeed improved.

When the National Day arrived, Zhao Sidong couldn't find time to participate in the celebration of the launch of the Sunshine SUV, because he was in a hurry to earn credits in school.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about a small talk with his father at home during the summer vacation, when it was said that the civil service-staff-system-reform-reform and anti-corruption-defeat-attack-fortification-war had reached the point where it had to be carried out, but afterwards Zhao Hansheng discussed with the old lady, or let him try to join the system, which can be regarded as using his strength to promote the process of reform.

After thinking about it, Old Man Zhao also thought it was interesting to do this, anyway, he didn't have to worry about his grandson would suffer, as for causing trouble...... Even if he doesn't become a civil servant, won't there be chaos?

As a result, Zhao Sidong had to rush back to school to start his own point collection operation after the start of the new school year.
