Chapter 25
After the test drive, neither the car nor the cloud-based system detected any fatal bugs. They only needed to optimize some minor shortcomings. Optimizing these shortcomings did not take much time, so a week later, the official accounts of Hongqi Piao on major domestic platforms released information about the new product launch.
For certain reasons, there are currently no plans to sell Feiche and Jileyun overseas.
After Xia An joined the company, he applied for official accounts on all the active platforms in the market. These official accounts were managed by the marketing department and were mainly used to release information about Hongqi Piao products or other company and related news.
Today is Saturday, and at 10 a.m., a piece of news suddenly appeared on the trending topics of various platforms.
Hongqi Piao launches new products.
The first message you see when you click on the entry is an official announcement from Hongqi Piao.
Breaking with tradition, soaring through the skies, the brand-new flying car series, with its red flag waving, is here!
Let driving become the art of flight.
Break through imagination, soar to new heights! Let's experience racing in the clouds and feel the unprecedented allure of aerial driving!

The trending topics were definitely bought. The red flag waving did generate some buzz, but not enough to cause a message to suddenly appear on the trending topics of various platforms without any prior publicity.
With money flowing in from Hongqi, buying trending topics to pave the way for a new product is just a drop in the ocean.
"I must have stayed up too late last night and my eyes are blurry. I saw an advertisement for flying cars and clouds. Mom, I really should go to sleep."
"Wow! Hongqi Piao has really produced a flying car! This flying car is so cool!!!"
"JiLeYun is so cute! I can have the same somersault cloud as the Monkey King too!"
"So cool, so cute, I'm so tempted! Is there a price tag that will make me give up?"
"Price Guru is back! Speed Racer for 120,000, Jile Cloud for 90,000."
"So cheap!!!"
"It's cheap, but I don't know how good the price-performance ratio is. Could any expert do a review?"
"I really want it, but it's not cheap, so I'm hesitant to buy it. I'd also like to see a review video."
"Did no one notice that the Ministry of Transport's Air Traffic Law was even released before the launch of Hongqi Piao's new products? What does this mean? It means that Hongqi Piao's two products have changed the existing transportation model, and even the country has made special legislation for them."
"When I saw this message from the Ministry of Transport this morning, I thought I was seeing things!"
Regardless of whether it's the flying car or the driving carpet of Jileyun, the core of the flying carpet is independently developed by Hongqi Piao and adopts magnetic levitation technology. The production cost of the flying carpet core is not very high. The cost of the raw materials of other accessories of the two products even exceeds the cost of the flying carpet core.
This price was agreed upon by Xia Ke and the people liaising with Hua Guo, with the aim of maximizing the promotion of Feiche Jileyun while ensuring the profits of Hongqi Piao.
If you're not specifically looking for a luxury car, the price of a standard new car on the market is currently around 160,000 yuan. The two new flying cars launched by Hongqi Piao not only possess advanced flight capabilities not currently available on the market, but also boast impressive speed, appearance, safety performance, and energy efficiency.
The prices of 120,000 and 90,000 are really dirt cheap.
However, as mentioned before, for ordinary people, spending over five thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. Out of caution, consumers are unlikely to rush into a purchase blindly. Those who intend to buy will observe for a period of time, and will only willingly spend money when they are sure that the product truly meets their expectations.
Since emerging from the shadow of amputation, Zhang Cheng has become a full-time travel blogger.
He already had a certain number of fans, and after posting the space ring video last time, he gained even more fans.
Now his videos mainly focus on family travel routes. Each time he sets off, his parents go ahead to choose the destination, and then he travels there via a spatial loop.
A novel way of traveling, thoughtful recommendations for tourist destinations and food, plus the humor and warmth of the Zhang family traveling together.
Videos filled with laughter and sincerity are easily loved by viewers.
So even if Zhang Cheng doesn't have a job, he can still earn money to support himself and his parents through video advertising.
Zhang Cheng is a fervent fan of Red Flag. In his heart, everything he has now is thanks to Red Flag. Without Red Flag's spatial ring, he would still be at home, dejected and growing mushrooms.
Therefore, he would pay attention to any news about the red flag waving as soon as possible.
While others had reservations about this new product launch, he immediately went to the official website to place an order.
Like space loops, the emergence of flying cars is epoch-making for human transportation. Space transportation not only shortens travel time and alleviates ground-based pressure, but also marks humanity's transition from ground-based to three-dimensional transportation. Beyond providing convenience in travel, the advent of flying cars can also spawn industries such as flying car repair and manufacturing, potentially creating a new industrial chain in the near future, which will bring countless job opportunities and employment.
Zhang Cheng likes companies that have social responsibility and can promote social development, so even though the flying car launched this time did not meet his expectations, he still has high hopes for the future development of the flying car.
However, it's too early to say whether it will meet his expectations, since the flying car he ordered hasn't been shipped yet.
Zhang Cheng acted so quickly that by the time the marketing department contacted him to ask for his help with promotion and advertising, he had already paid the deposit.
"Do such good products as Feiche and Jileyun really need special advertising? Even without advertising fees, I will still post video reviews of Feiche and Jileyun. Regardless of whether I receive advertising fees or not, my reviews will be based on my genuine user experience. I will not cover up their shortcomings just because you pay me. I need to be responsible to my viewers."
Once you have a certain number of followers, being a self-media creator can be quite profitable. The prices of Hongqi Piao's new products are not low, but they are all within his acceptable range, so whether or not there are advertising fees is really not important to him.
The other side replied very quickly.
"Thank you very much for your support of Feiche and Jile Cloud. Our company's original intention in promoting our products is to let more people see them. You can simply express your true feelings about using them in the review video. We also welcome and humbly accept suggestions from consumers."
Zhang Cheng was quite satisfied with this answer.
Unlike some businesses that, when advertising their products, clearly contain filth, insist on having the advertiser lavish praise on that filth in a video—it's utterly ridiculous.
He usually refuses these kinds of advertisements; he would never betray his loyal fans for advertising fees.
In the end, Zhang Cheng did not collect the advertising fee. The two parties finally agreed on the terms of Zhang Cheng's deposit being refunded and the final payment being waived, and thus finalized the promotion and evaluation.
Zhang Cheng was going to post review videos for buying Feiche and Jileyun, and even if Hongqi Piao didn't reduce or waive his fees, it wouldn't change his mind, but Hongqi Piao still gave him the money.
Xia An explained this behavior as follows.
"With such a large fan base, their willingness to help us with the review is already a great help. We can't just take advantage of them without feeling guilty."
In addition to advertising on major video platforms, Hongqi Piao also selected five self-media bloggers to promote its new product. Among these five bloggers, one is Zhang Cheng, the other three are streamers with a large number of fans, positive values and good reputation, and the last one is Zhao Yan.
When Zhao Yanran posted the video on her social media platform, her account gained a lot of followers, but its size was far smaller than that of the other three bloggers. Moreover, because she did not post frequently, her account was not very active.
Logically, such an account should not be within Xia An's selection range.
However, it was Xia Ke, the boss, who designated Zhao Yan for promotion.
Xia Ke still remembers that the Space Ring's initial popularity was fueled by Zhao Yan and her roommates' videos. Now that there's an opportunity, she's naturally willing to let them try it. If the video is good, everyone will be happy; if it's bad, it's fine. She can just consider it as making up for the cost of promoting the Space Ring last time.
