Chapter 238 The coolest car in the world
While Li Yang was busy taking the exam, he was also getting familiar with the Jiying car, after all, he would be needed to give explanations at the press conference.
At the same time, he also updated a Weibo post.
"I would like to report to you that Jiying Automobile has entered the initial mass production stage, and will hold a product launch conference at Jiangbei Nanhu Stadium on January 28. You are welcome to attend.
Friends who want to come can download the Jiying Auto APP and make an appointment on the homepage. After checking in at the venue, Jiying Auto will reimburse your round-trip fare and give you some extra small gifts.
This press conference was live-broadcasted on the Jiying Auto app and a certain fish live-streaming platform.
Li Yang did not invite too many media, but mostly fans.
All car media have to recharge, and some have particularly big appetites, spending millions of dollars. It would be better to recharge the money to fans.
In the future, everyone will be a self-media, and the media methods will also change.
Instead of relying on the current so-called media, it is better to buy a hot search.
Of course, the hot searches attract only the onlookers. As the Chinese New Year is approaching and traffic is congested, those who are still willing to come and watch the press conference are basically people who are interested in cars.
There must be some people who just want to watch the show, especially in Jiangbei area.
Anyway, the stadium is big enough to accommodate 30,000 people.
…
Time flies, and January 25th is already here in the blink of an eye.
After Li Yang finished his last exam, he had to drive back by himself because he couldn't buy a ticket.
He felt that a year had passed very quickly. He had hardly met Song Yu during this year, only four times in total.
He also carried more than 20 million worth of jewelry in the car, which he planned to take back and distribute to the families.
Bai Qing will not go back this year. She will stay in Jiangbei until March and then go to Beijing.
Xue Ning had returned a long time ago and stayed in the hospital for a month, and then stayed in Jiangbei for another month.
We set off in the afternoon of the 25th and returned to Jiangcheng in the evening of the 26th.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Banxia and Xue Ning in the living room, and of course Li Yuqing was there too.
After eating, he went to catch up on his sleep and made an appointment with Jiang Banxia to set off the next day.
…
Dou Ying saw Jiang Banxia coming back with a bunch of things and asked, "Xia Xia, are you shopping again?"
"Ah? No, it's from Li Yang. There's also a gift for you."
At this time, Jiang Yaoting came out of the study and asked, "Is there anything for me?"
"Yes, I have."
Jiang Banxia put the things on the table and opened the box.
They are all jade.
Jiang Banxia picked up a piece of mutton-fat white Hetian jade and handed it to Jiang Yaoting: "Dad, he knows you like Hetian jade, so he found it specifically for you. This kind of jade is very rare in the market."
Jiang Yaoting saw that it was just the right size to be held in one hand, and it felt delicate when he held it in his hand and played with it.
Although Hetian jade is not as popular as jadeite, it is still quite favored in the domestic cultural circle.
Especially the natural shape, the satisfaction of playing with it is rarely replaced by anything else.
"It's really rare. It has such a round shape and such high quality. Please thank him for me. We will be family sooner or later anyway, so I won't be polite to him."
"Yes, yes, you're welcome."
Jiang Banxia nodded.
Only Dou Ying was a little conflicted.
Due to various reasons, she has not told Jiang Yaoting yet.
Although she accepted the gifts from Li Yang, she put them all together and left them untouched.
If anything happens, these must be returned immediately.
She would not covet those things and cause Jiang Banxia to feel psychologically weak.
Jiang Yaoting was in high spirits and asked, "Let's invite Li Yang to our house for dinner tomorrow. It just so happens that everyone has nothing to do recently."
There are still nine days until the Chinese New Year, and Jiang Yaoting has also had a holiday.
"He's going to Jiangbei tomorrow to prepare for the press conference."
"What press conference?"
"Jiying Automobile, the cars he made will be on sale soon."
After listening to this, Jiang Yaoting said, "Let's do it another day when he is free."
As for the car built by Li Yang, he had no interest in it.
Young people are just playing around. Electric cars are incomparable to gasoline cars in any aspect.
"Okay, okay. I'll go with him tomorrow and support him. He said he would give me a car."
"Go ahead, but remember to come back early. We have an event before the New Year."
"What activities?"
"Ancestor worship, and also to restore the family tree... I'll just open a page..."
No one can resist the temptation of a single page of the family tree, not even Jiang Yaoting.
In the past, he did not have that much appeal in the Jiang family.
But now his daughter is powerful and the most powerful person in the family tree, so he benefits from it.
"Oh, I'll try to come back early then."
…
Jiang Banxia felt that Li Yang was very scary when he was serious.
I studied hard for more than a month before the college entrance examination and got the top score.
If you study hard in college, even if you miss many days or play around on weekdays, you will eventually get good grades.
After arriving in Jiangbei, she saw Li Yang reading the manuscript carefully.
Until 3:00 p.m. on January 28th.
She saw Li Yang walk onto the stage with a smile on his face. As the lights gathered on him, he waved and greeted everyone in the stadium.
In an instant, there was a roar of mountains and seas.
Jiang Banxia felt like she was attending a concert.
A lot of people came today. Usually, a car launch would have several thousand people coming, and they are all hired as water armies.
Although the travel expenses for the Jiying Automobile press conference were reimbursed, there were no substantial benefits... Oh, there was also a bag of snacks on each seat.
What is a bag of snacks worth?
"Mr. Jiang? Hello, hello. I am XXX from Tiancai Group. This is my business card..."
"Hello."
Jiang Banxia took the other party's business card.
All this is just the beginning.
Because she was sitting in the front row, many people wanted to say hello to her. In the blink of an eye, she had collected a pile of business cards.
The maidservant standing by was envious.
This is social status.
The strength of Wanliu Capital has elevated the little girl Jiang Banxia to the position of a top boss.
When will she be able to achieve this kind of business status?
Unfortunately, neither Youku nor the short video software that changed its name to Kuaipai is of much use at this time and is not enough to have a prominent position in the business world.
Li Yang's opening remarks were different from others. He first welcomed everyone for coming and then began to report on his work.
He seems to be so devout to every user, even though many people are just watching and worship him as an internet celebrity.
After finishing some report-related content, Li Yang began to explain the performance of the car.
On the screen at the back, a car full of vitality appeared.
Both in terms of design and color.
Abandoning the sense of stability, it is created to be exceptionally fashionable.
Basically, you will be attracted at first sight when you walk on the street.
"Under your supervision, our company's first car in the Extreme Series has lived up to everyone's expectations and is here! I dare say that this is definitely the most awesome car in the same price range, bar none! I mean in the entire world!"
As soon as he came up, Li Yang started bragging.
And unabashed praise.
"I will tell you all about the specific features... First of all, as we all know, the quality of the chassis has a great impact on the ride and driving experience, and the chassis of our Ji series is a new generation chassis developed in cooperation with Geely Group, the Lingfeng generation!"
"Geely has been deeply engaged in automobile chassis for more than ten years. After being enhanced by our Jiying Automobile's Tamron algorithm, the Lingfeng 1 was born! We adopted the world's top design concepts and the best materials. No matter where you walk on the road, the Lingfeng 1 can make you feel like flying in the air. To describe it in two words, it is silky smooth!"
…
"Our battery uses Ningde's most advanced ternary lithium battery, which is a brand-new technology that improves the structure while reducing the cost of the old technology..."
"Our motor uses products from Inovance. As we all know, Inovance is the absolute leader in the field of domestic motors and electric drives. After decades of technological accumulation, they not only have a very high reputation in the global market, but also have an unfathomable level of technological reserves! Our engineers at Jiying Automobile have been communicating with them for a long time and have synchronized the technology. I dare say that this is the most powerful motor system in the world, no doubt about it!"
…
Jiang Banxia: “…”
It's a bit numb already.
Li Yang started bragging right away!
He is different from other spokespersons who always compare themselves with foreign brands.
If you want to benchmark your mobile phone business against Apple, then you have to benchmark your car business against Tesla.
It seems that if our products are not compared with foreign products, they will not be high-end.
The same was true for Huawei in the early days... Later, when the high-end market became established, there was no longer much competition.
As for Li Yang? He just talked about how awesome his own domestic products were, and never mentioned any foreign technology or company. Anyway, domestic products were the best in the world, especially with the support of Jiying Automobile, no one could beat them!
We talked about the materials used in the tram, starting from the three major parts of the tram.
The screen at the back shows the car body structure in various directions.
"Next, I will focus on explaining the situation regarding the car computer. First of all, this car has a total of six screens, using BOE's most advanced crystal panel arrangement. Although the yield rate is not high, after our screening, it is the best screen in the world, no doubt about it!
There are a total of eight onboard chips, all of which use the X25 10nm process designed by my country's MediaTek last year. This is also the most powerful car chip.
As for the car system, this is the Tamron operating system developed by Jiying Automobile. It has built-in map navigation, voice assistant, assisted driving, music, movies, and some small games. Currently, it supports more than 30 software in total..."
It is actually not difficult to develop your own operating system. It only costs tens of millions to develop an entire operating system.
The difficulty is that there is no system ecology.
Li Yang and his colleagues can only spend money to find those manufacturers to customize it. Basically, they ask those app manufacturers to customize a product that is compatible with Tamron's operating system, which costs at least tens of millions and at most hundreds of millions.
For example, for the Tamron version of AutoNavi Map, Jiying Automobile paid 380 million yuan, and it will have to continue to spend money for each subsequent update.
For example, for music software, we spent more than 300 million yuan and negotiated with two major domestic music platforms.
There are also video software, and some audio novel software...
There is an advantage to spending money, and that is that the software in the Tamron system has no advertisements.
There are more than 30 software programs, with a total cost of nearly 2 billion, many of which they developed themselves because they are simple.
This is also the reason why the global system is monopolized by three companies. PCs are dominated by Microsoft, while mobile devices are dominated by IOS and Android.
They have too many ecosystems.
If you develop a system yourself without WeChat and Douyin, only a fool would use it.
"We also customized a data card with China Mobile, so that the car and the computer can share 50G of unlimited data every month."
This traffic is basically equivalent to a mobile WIFI point.
When it comes to comfort, Li Yang did not skimp at all, and would not let users worry about anything that could be arranged.
Otherwise, after buying a car, you still have to use the mobile navigation because the car computer cannot connect to the Internet.
Another half hour passed...
"Now, it's time to announce the price. Let's first announce the cost price of our Jiying Automobile. This cost price does not include the company's operating expenses and employee costs. It only includes the purchase cost of spare parts! I can guarantee that this cost is absolutely true. If anyone has doubts, they can sign a confidentiality agreement with our Jiying Company and we will show you the purchase list."
"Our cost price is 316275!"
When this price was announced, everyone present was stunned.
Too high!
Originally, they were quite interested in listening to Li Yang's explanation of the advanced functions of those spare parts.
But the purchase cost of spare parts alone is so high, how much would the car cost?
Jiying Automobile spent more than 10 billion yuan. Even if it is spread over 100,000 cars, the cost of each car will be more than 100,000 yuan.
In fact, domestic automobile manufacturers generally spread the cost of manufacturing over 30,000 vehicles.
This is why some cars are easily sold for more than 400,000, 500,000, or even more than 800,000.
In fact, their spare parts may cost around hundreds of thousands.
Otherwise, would Li Yang dare to say that his car is the best in the same price range?
According to the purchase price of spare parts, if it is put on a traditional luxury car, it will sell for at least 2 million. If it is put on a domestic new energy vehicle, it will lose money even if it is sold for 600,000.
For Tesla, every million dollars sold is a benefit to users.
"And our final selling price is: 349,999! Making cars is my business, and we at Jiying Automobile will not include the cost of making cars in the cost of the cars! And I, Li Yang, can guarantee that any company or product under my name will not make more than 10% of the profit."
"If you are interested in this car, you can order it on the Jiying Auto APP. Due to production reasons and the upcoming Chinese New Year, we are only accepting pick-ups at three stores in Jiangbei for the time being. It will not be available nationwide until the end of March. The current inventory is 3,000 vehicles, and production capacity will not be further increased until at least June."
"We have also secured a benefit for everyone who picks up their car in Jiangbei. Within three months after the license plate is registered, Jiangbei will return a subsidy of 70,000 yuan... Of course, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, this period may be longer."
With a subsidy of 70,000 yuan, it basically means you can buy this car for 280,000 yuan.
In other cities, the subsidy is generally only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
…
"Finally, due to the large number of people, Jiying Auto cannot arrange food and accommodation for everyone, but as long as friends check in, Jiying Auto will issue a subsidy of 600 yuan in the background. Although it is not much, it is also a small token of our appreciation."
"Subsequent announcements about the car will be released on the Jiying Auto APP. Friends who want to see the current car can queue up to go on stage... Friends who want to leave, please strictly follow the venue rules and leave in an orderly manner. There are many people today. For myself and for everyone, thank you all for your support today."
…
Many people were watching the live broadcast online, especially Li Yang’s fans.
"I understand the whole press conference. The main idea is, we are the best, and domestic products are the coolest!"
"To be honest, I feel like Li Yang is a little too proud. He created a piece of rubbish and he has to brag about it. Can't I just buy a BMW 3 Series for over 300,000 yuan?"
"Brother, you are too narrow-minded. Can't you buy two Sylphys for more than 300,000 yuan? It saves fuel and gives you face!"
"Xuan Yi has no dignity at all!"
"It's better than a broken shadow like you. You dare to sell industrial waste for more than 300,000 yuan. Are you trying to rob me?"
"Who is talking to you about the Jiying car? Even if the Jiying is a piece of trash, your broken Sylphy has no face! Relying on the broken Sylphy to gain face, your face is really worthless!"
…
Ning Hao is a game power leveler. He dropped out of high school and relied on playing DNF to make a living in the past few years. If he is lucky, he can make a small profit.
Later, LOL became popular, and his talent in the game quickly made him one of the strongest players in the country.
He tried out for a professional team but was unfortunately not selected. However, the popular game League of Legends brought him a lot of income.
For example, some anchors who are ranked high need to stabilize their rankings so that they can get money from the live broadcast platform.
However, live streaming is prone to being sniped and manipulated, so after the live streaming, people will ask substitutes to help gain points.
And he has the ability to score points, and can earn between three and five hundred in each game.
In this way, after two years, he saved 100,000 yuan.
Later, the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds appeared, and with it came a list of gods of war.
He called a few friends and worked hard overnight. In the end, they all won the God of War list prize, with each receiving more than 10,000 yuan.
There are also major live broadcast platforms inviting them to be anchors, and the signing fees start at hundreds of thousands...
Unfortunately, Ning Hao is an introvert with an average appearance. His greasy hair cannot be washed off no matter how hard he washes. He simply does not have the courage to speak in front of the camera.
Li Yang is his idol. Not only is he handsome, but he is also very good at playing games.
He has never chased after a celebrity in his life, but he only likes to watch Li Yang's live broadcast, and even went to Li Yang's live broadcast room to give rewards.
He believed in everything Li Yang said. For example, when Wanliu Capital had just publicly issued its first fund product and Jiang Banxia was recruiting people in the live broadcast room, he invested all the money he had saved for five or six years without hesitation, a total of 110,000 yuan.
And now, that 110,000 has become 440,000.
Because he was going to have a blind date during the Chinese New Year, he withdrew the money into his bank card.
His family said that given his situation, he has no looks, no job, and no education, so he would definitely need a dowry of more than 300,000 yuan. His family is currently borrowing money for him.
He thought that it was time to get married. At the age of 26, he had never held a girl's hand, but he had dozens of GB of movies stored in his computer.
He longed for a baptism of life.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a bit more expensive, since the money was brought to him by Li Yang anyway.
But I didn’t expect... Near the Chinese New Year, Li Yang actually sold a car.
After a brief hesitation, he placed the order immediately.
Even though he doesn't have a driver's license...
It's just trust in someone.
He said this is the coolest car in the world, Ning Haoxin!
