"This is the car we have been designing. Why is it here?" Ron pointed at the Chinese car named Red Star Feiteng, his heart and eyes filled with anger.
It was obvious that they had spent countless time, efforts and money to develop the car, and they were about to start mass production, but China was the first to build it. Once they started selling well, all the efforts that Ford had made in this car would be wasted, and the loss would be incalculable.
"You said this is the car you have been designing? Then where is your car? Where is it?" Zuo Ziming felt that Americans were simply unreasonable and even more shameless than the most shameless scoundrels.
"We are not as fast as you. Our car has not been produced yet, but it will be soon. However, you shouldn't steal our products. We will file a lawsuit!" Ron had lost his mind.
Zuo Ziming just found it funny. "Your car is still just a concept. Ours has already gone into mass production and we'll be accepting orders starting today. Now you're accusing us of stealing from you. Don't you find that ridiculous?"
At this time, the people in the venue, including Tongyong and Kles, felt that the people from Fute were a little unreasonable. After all, other people's products had already come out, while Fute's own were still on the drawing board. It was really unreasonable to accuse Bingqi of stealing from them.
Ron was so angry that he was shaking and cold all over. He couldn't imagine how great the loss would be if the product they had been developing for many years could not be put into production and died aborted!
At this time, Zuo Ziming pointed at the two cars and said loudly, "This is a car independently developed by our Bing County Automobile Factory. The project code name is Red Star No. 1, and the name of the car is Red Star Soaring, which means that our Chinese industry will soar into the sky.
Starting today, we will be accepting orders. Now let me introduce the configuration of our car. First of all, this car is positioned as a mid-size station wagon and uses a non-metallic engine hood to reduce the vehicle's weight, mainly for fuel efficiency..."
As Zuo Ziming introduced the vehicle, Ron broke out in a cold sweat. He found that although the vehicle's appearance data was basically the same, all of its configurations were much more advanced than their design.
This means that even if they build a car in the future, it will not sell well in the market.
Following Zuo Ziming's introduction, almost everyone became more and more interested in this car. There was no doubt that this car used many new industrial designs, new materials, and new processes. There was no doubt that China did have the ability to design and manufacture such a world-leading car.
"Finally, I would like to invite our Bing County Secretary to announce the price of this car. Secretary Wei, please come to the stage!" Zuo Ziming raised his hands and applauded.
At this time, everyone in the venue started to applaud and cheer. Those foreigners who had previously despised China had to be convinced and started to applaud. However, until now, their eyes were full of disbelief.
Wei Zhenguo stood on the booth, with exhibition cars on both sides, sandwiching him in the middle. At this moment, the two cars were closer to him than his own sons.
"First of all, we would like to thank our chief designer, Engineer Ji Xia, for making this car a reality. She led us to work day and night, braved all difficulties, and overcame all obstacles to create this car.
She was an extraordinary woman and a great engineer. On behalf of all the people of Bing County, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to her. Bing County will always remember her as an industrial pioneer and a leader in development and prosperity.
As Wei Zhenguo spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.
Zuo Ziming and others who came from Bing County were so excited that their hands were swollen from clapping.
At this time, someone noticed that all the people from Bing County, from the secretary to the engineers below, who came to the exhibition with the group, had one thing in common: they were skinny.
But, without exception, they all had a gleam in their eyes.
It is very tiring to follow Ji Xialei, but you can see hope, and their eyes are full of hope.
Wei Zhenguo paused for a moment before continuing, "We're not just exhibiting these two cars this time. I know everyone is still worried about my country's industrial development, but that's okay. We've also brought six test drive cars, parked in the square below. Anyone with a driver's license can take a test drive at any time."
boom!
What did they hear? There was actually a test drive event.
Test drive, what is the concept? Even in the United States, it is not the era when private cars can enter the house at will. However, no one is immune to cars. Someone provides a car and allows you to test drive it. How can you not be excited?
For this car, Ji Xia also upgraded its power configuration. After Ford reconfigured and upgraded it in the 1970s, it was all equipped with a 5-liter engine, but the power of this Hongxing Feiteng is a 2.3-liter engine, with two power configurations: 4-speed automatic and manual.
Wei Zhenguo finally announced the price, "Export market price: manual transmission price is US$186,800, automatic transmission price is US$263,800."
There is no tariff included here.
But basically all the foreign businessmen who came to the Canton Fair were attracted by it. The car looked really good and its performance was even more advanced.
When Ron heard these two data, his eyes went dark and he fell forward. Fortunately, there were so many people at that time, otherwise he would have fallen face down to the ground.
There was no other reason. These two prices were discussed internally by Ford. In fact, the top management was very inclined to this price. What Ron didn't know was that if China hadn't intercepted the deal, in 72 years, Ford's selling prices would be these two cars.
The technician in front of him stopped him and he quickly came to his senses. He couldn't get dizzy. He wanted to go for a test drive. He had to go for a test drive.
The test drive scene was also very grand, mainly because there were a lot of people queuing up.
Later, the people from Bingqi screened and stopped those who wanted to drive without a license. There were a few fewer people, but what they didn't know was that many people who heard the news were rushing over from all directions.
I couldn't afford the car, but the opportunity to test drive it for free was not to be missed.
Ron waited in line for a long time in a daze and finally got in the car. He adjusted the seat and rearview mirror as usual, but was shocked to find that the adjustment method of these two items was electric.
At this moment, he had to convince himself that perhaps China did not steal their cars, but how could he explain that the appearance of the models were almost exactly the same?
Otherwise, why would Zhang Weiguo and his team be so tired at this Canton Fair? Not only did Bing County come to participate in the exhibition, but they also requested to add a few laps of running track outside the venue. The data for the runway was provided by Bingqi.
Not to mention cement roads, there are also gravel roads, bumpy roads, and various complex roads. At this time, when the car was test-driving on these special roads, Ron deeply felt the superior shock absorption performance of this car.
At the same time, Hao Chengzhi also felt the powerful power and shock absorption performance of this car in another car.
