Chapter 818 Impact on Super Luxury: The Rise of Domestic Cars
The Xiaolong is officially launched at Xinghai's Moscow Experience Store. This is also Xinghai's first model released in Russia, with two power modes and two models.
Not only are they expensive, but these two cars also accept a high degree of customization, which costs money.
But those who can afford the JF-17 are not short of money. For them, they would rather spend more money than compete with others. Building their own JF-17 is what they want.
The price of such a customized car is much higher than the mass-produced one. If the whole car is highly customized, the price may even exceed tens of millions of RMB.
To put it bluntly, the JF-17 is a top-notch toy for the rich.
For ordinary people, let alone customized ones, they can't even afford mass-produced ones.
The flagship store became busy. The reputation of the JF-17 is so huge, it contains too much high-tech content, and has terrifying horsepower, so many top Russians want to get their own car as soon as possible.
The salesperson was very busy. Although this car can be ordered on the phone, people who order the car sometimes need to ask for specific information.
It’s lively, the Xinghai Moscow Experience Store is bustling with activity.
What excites the store manager the most is the order for the JF-17, which is a top-of-the-line luxury car.
For such an expensive luxury car, the orders reached 102 units in just one day.
This is not an order where you can order a car by paying a deposit of 20,000 yuan. It is a real large order where you pay half of the price directly and the remaining half will be paid after the car arrives and is handed over.
The order for 102 units is a huge one for a car like the JF-17. Considering that top luxury cars like Rolls-Royce only sell a few hundred units in the Russian market each year.
Now the JF-17 has received orders for 102 units in one day, which is amazing.
At Xinghai headquarters, everyone was excited when they saw the order from Russia. However, amidst their excitement, everyone also had serious expressions.
Now that they have a good start, they need to take good care of these top customers. As long as they are taken good care of, they will become Xinghai's cash cow in the future.
"Looks like it's time to start the Star Series..."
In the conference room, the company leader said seriously.
Others were also excited. The Star Series models were the high-performance versions of the Star Sea, just like Mercedes-Benz's AMG, Audi's RS, and BMW's M Series.
The performance of electric vehicles is already amazing, not to mention the high-performance versions.
Unlike other electric vehicle brands whose high performance is simply increasing the motor power, the high-performance version of Xinghai is preparing to transfer the technology of Xiaolong to the lower level.
The JF-17 is destined to not be produced in large quantities because it is too expensive.
However, if the JF-17's technology is transferred to ordinary models, wheel-side motor technology, all-solid-state battery technology, autonomous driving technology, etc.
With the support of these technologies, the performance of Xinghai's existing models will be greatly improved, which will give high-performance cars a reason to increase in value.
For Xinghai Group, the most important thing about the Star series is not to make money, but to increase its status.
"We'll start with the Russian market. The winters there are too cold, and ordinary batteries degrade too quickly. All-solid-state batteries are perfect for this. We'll start with the Star series to open up the market. At the same time, we'll be deploying our next-generation charging network in Russia to prepare for our commercial vehicles..."
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.
Commercial vehicles, unlike passenger vehicles, actually have greater profits.
Because many large commercial vehicles cost millions of dollars, and commercial vehicles consume more energy, ordinary batteries are difficult to meet the needs.
However, all-solid-state batteries solve this pain point. Although Russia has a lot of energy, it does not mean that they do not need new energy commercial vehicles.
Because new energy commercial vehicles are not just new energy, they will also have stronger performance.
For example, although ordinary trucks have high horsepower, they are far inferior to new energy trucks. This is why the super mining trucks used in mines are all powered by electricity, and their engines are used to generate electricity.
Hard work works wonders, and that also applies to trucks.
At the same time, if a truck is equipped with new energy batteries, then a truck becomes a mobile energy charging station.
The Xiaolong has a 750-degree battery pack, so the truck's power storage capacity could increase by more than ten times. Having electricity will be much more convenient when working outdoors.
Now that all-solid-state batteries have entered mass production, Xinghai is ready to enter the commercial vehicle market and build powerful commercial vehicles. Even without considering the overseas market, the domestic market alone is a huge demand.
"Xinghai Xiaolong is launched in Russia, aiming for ultra-luxury status..."
"One JF-17 and two Cullinans, the Xinghai JF-17 is truly a top-tier luxury car..."
"102 orders on the first day. The JF-17 has been launched in Russia. Delivery will take three months..."
"The domestic launch conference for the JF-17 Thunder will be held soon..."
Soon, domestic media reported the incident.
To the surprise of Chinese consumers, the JF-17 was first launched in Russia, with the price even announced. The price is over 5 million RMB. Compared to the top luxury car Cullinan, one JF-17 can actually buy two Cullinans.
This caused countless netizens to discuss the matter.
"My goodness, this price is too high. Back home, it would cost tens of millions..."
"I really can't afford the toys of the rich..."
“It should be cheaper in China…”
"It's definitely cheaper in China, but the price will probably be very high..."
"I thought it would be over 1 million, but now it seems I can't afford it..."
"I'm really getting carried away! I'll buy a Cullinan for this price..."
"Haha, do you think that people who buy Xiaolong don't have Cullinan at home?"
"Apart from the brand, how can the Cullinan compare to the JF-17 Thunder? In terms of performance, the JF-17 Thunder beats him..."
In China, netizens started discussing it hotly.
At first, everyone thought the Xiaolong was just a million-dollar luxury car, but now it seems that is not the case at all. This car is not even comparable to the Mercedes-Benz G.
The starting price of a Mercedes-Benz G in Russia is less than one million, while the JF-17 is more than five million. One JF-17 is equivalent to the price of five Mercedes-Benz Gs.
Netizens are discussing this hotly. In China, the time of Xinghai’s press conference has also been announced, which is five days later.
In addition to the launch of the JF-17, this press conference will also include important decisions.
After receiving this news, netizens became excited.
In Moscow, Su Yang had a lot of free time.
But soon Su Yang received a very unexpected invitation. After receiving the invitation letter, Qin Shuyao was also very surprised.
"This is such a pleasant surprise."
Qin Shuyao said with emotion, and Su Yang nodded.
Indeed, this was a pleasant surprise.
This invitation is so special, it is completely out of the entertainment industry.
But after thinking about it carefully, Su Yang was not surprised. After all, he was not only an artist, but also a top billionaire, and he had a lot of cash in his hands. Any country would want to attract investment, and Russia was no exception.
