Chapter 166 The beginning of replacing physical books
Even if he didn't say it, everyone who knew something about Stardust Technology would know Chen Zifan's character. With Chen Zifan's strict requirements for products, if Xinghan 01 was just a semi-finished product, it wouldn't even have a chance to be tested on the road.
Today is just a special situation, so Xinghan 01 was released in advance. In the past, it would have been delayed until the road test before a relatively large-scale exposure and publicity was carried out, but there were not many items that Xinghan 01 could test.
Zero-to-100 acceleration is a highlight. It can send a signal to the outside world that Xinghan Zhixing's motor level has reached the threshold of some high-end engines in terms of performance, but it has not yet experienced the test of time.
Xinghan 001 and Xinghan 009 are used to set off the power of Xinghan 01, but Xinghan 01 is not meant to set off the cost-effectiveness of Xinghan 001 and Xinghan 009? Chen Zifan does not even plan to share R&D costs evenly.
First, Stardust Technology's R&D costs are indeed low, and second, it is unnecessary. What he wants to do is to be a "leader", use Stardust Technology's method to improve the level of technology, and constantly use product technology to change the landscape.
So the method used is naturally more radical~
Xinghan 01's zero-to-100 acceleration test once again hyped up the atmosphere at the scene, and there is another highlight next, which is the "random collision" between Xinghan 001 and popular models in the same price range. What is random?
Just randomly select models and conduct head-on collisions at random speeds exceeding 60km/h. You don’t have to rely on words to determine whether the vehicle body is strong or not, or whether it is safe or not. It’s a field test if you want to play!
As for the first car, I "happened" to choose a Japanese "luxury sedan" that is not known for its safety. This car was very popular and sold very well in China. It was once the face of Japanese cars in the country.
Now being pulled out for testing...
Isn't that bullying?
Not to mention the thin-skinned Japanese cars, even the German legendary Passat and Xinghan 001 can easily smash it into a compressed biscuit. Of course, the Passat has gone through several generations of facelifts, and its safety has dropped significantly...
Among all the models present, it is estimated that only a certain Volvo car that is famous for its safety can be pulled out and touched with Xinghan 001, but Volvo's car does not seem to be attractive except for its safety.
This can also be seen from their subsequent business strategies. After N years of publicity for "safety", consumers have long been tired of it. Moreover, when the price difference is not much different, how can it be better than others?
So much so that they later had to change their publicity strategy and use new configurations to attract consumers, such as the XX co-branded speaker system, how the sound quality was, etc.
The actual effect is not good.
At the same time~
Commissioners sent by major car companies finally went inside and found some cadres in charge of the auto show. Seeing that the two cars had been pushed to both sides of the test venue, they also knew that if they were a step later, they would be in big trouble.
Although the test vehicle blocked the logo, everyone could still tell what kind of car it was at a glance. Fortunately, there was still time. He was still five meters away from the cadre in charge of testing at Xinghan Zhixing when he shouted:
"Stop! Don't hit! I have..."
However, the cadre seemed to be distracted, or maybe the audience was too loud, so he asked with some uncertainty: "Ah? What? What did you say?"
"I mean…"
Before he could repeat it, the two cars began to accelerate amidst the cheers of the audience. Even without the remote acceleration of passengers, the audience at the scene could clearly see that the acceleration power of Xinghan 001 was stronger.
At the same time, they are also a little pity:
"Hey, you can give me two such good cars if you don't want them! Why do you have to do this~"
"I'm not greedy either. Just give me the scrap metal that was damaged. I can repair it and make a lot of money by selling it. As a qualified second-hand car dealer, I only accept accident cars."
the rules…"
"You used car dealers are so shady!"
"No, we have to be conscientious when we speak! I have marked that what I am selling is an accident car, and the buyer accepts it, and the price is reasonable. Why is it so unfair? It's better than those who sell accident cars as high-quality second-hand cars, right?"
"Is now the time to dwell on this?"
"The acceleration of Xinghan 001 crushed the opponent! Didn't it say 60 kilometers per hour? What's the situation now? It's a bit fast...more than 60, right?"
"60 is just the minimum speed..."
"The relative speed will be doubled!"
"Hit!!!"
The other car company specialists who had traveled thousands of miles to the scene with a pile of documents were also dumbfounded. They stopped living in Bengbu and caught Xinghan Cadre Liu and asked:
"Damn it! What the heck are you! Didn't you hear what labor and management were talking about? You could have stopped it if you had the chance!"
Cadre Xinghan had no fluctuations in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be embarrassed and apologized:
"Ouch! It's over, it's over. I'm really sorry. You're a little late. Our order has already been issued, just as you saw..."
In the safety collision test site, Xinghan 01 and a "luxury car" of a certain Japanese brand collided with each other at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour, and then there was a "boom" sound, forming a huge explosion.
It is visible to the naked eye, and you can even see the air waves spreading to the "auditoriums" on both sides. And their "Japanese luxury car" has suddenly changed from a good-looking sedan to a hatchback. No, it is a 1.5-box car.
…
"Damn it! What do you want to do?"
"But... I really didn't hear clearly! I know you are very excited, can you do it again?"
"It's not...me...you..."
"Don't fuck around there. The result is already like this. What do you think we should do? Do you want to litigate or compensate? We will accompany you in the lawsuit. Compensation is impossible because this is a private car provided by our client..."
"you!!!"
"What are you doing? Our good test has been disrupted, you should compensate us!"
"..."
The remaining people sent by the car companies also arrived one after another, and they were a little gloating when they saw the scene in front of them. Then they remembered that their company's cars were still on the field, and saw Wan coming on stage, so they could only persuade them quickly:
"Hey, hey, hey! We won't do that! If you have anything to say, you can talk it over. China's automobile market is so big! There's no need to fight to the death! We don't just have a competitive relationship, we can also cooperate and win-win~"
Among the car brands selected this time, only Volvo did not send people over. However, if it is disturbed like this, the subsequent crash test will definitely not be completed, so each other must give some face.
If everyone is really offended, who will Stardust New Energy's batteries and motors be sold to in the future? Chen Zifan also needs these car companies to help him promote new energy vehicles, first expand the new energy market, and then launch stronger products.
Anyway, the technology used is from Stardust Technology, and he is not worried that a certain car company will suddenly "rise" and surpass Xinghan Zhixing. It may be possible in theory, but it is completely impossible in front of [Xinghan Zhixing].
What Chen Zifan currently lacks most is material technology. When the level of [Stardust Technology] is raised to lv.80 or above, and the materials [Analysis of Copycat] and [Synthetic Creation] are unlocked, they can be applied to products...
Coupled with Stardust Technology's existing technology, from software to hardware, the terrifying improvement in product capabilities is enough to bring Stardust Technology's size to a whole new level, and even have a chance to break through the blockade.
Doesn’t it mean that Stardust Technology is not allowed to sell goods?
Can it be stopped?
But in this way, the audience may be a little dissatisfied. After all, no one wants to watch the fun. They were enjoying themselves and were suddenly interrupted~
But there was nothing they could do. After the Xinghan cadres announced the suspension of the test, they could only complain a few words:
"What are you doing~"
"There are so many cars!"
"I guess the crash test can no longer be carried out, which has forced other brands to come out. I guess they don't want to see a 'lose-lose' situation~"
"What's the point of hurting both sides? This is obviously an overwhelming victory for Xinghan 001! Didn't you see that the cars on the opposite side have all turned into 1.5-car sedans? How much better can other brands of cars be than it? If it crashes again, the impact will be too great!"
"In my opinion, they are afraid!"
"Afraid? Haha, have you ever heard of German industry? I don't believe that German cars are worse than Japanese cars!"
"It's useless to argue now. There is no chance of a collision. We can only see if there is a chance in the future..."
"It's probably difficult!"
"It's okay. Anyway, I'm satisfied this time. It doesn't matter whether it crashes or not. I've tried two Xinghan Zhixing cars for a test drive. It's beyond my imagination!"
"I guess it's time for those keyboard warriors to shut up..."
"Haha! Who knows if Xinghan 001 is filled with steel plates and cement? Who knows if the mass-produced cars purchased by consumers will have reduced configurations to save costs..."
"You are such a XXX!"
"No one can doubt Stardust Technology! Who doesn't know that Stardust Technology's products use solid materials? Even Director Chen said it! They will do their best to pile up materials within the cost range! Do you understand what I mean?"
"Do you believe what he said?"
"???"
In the midst of the debate, Xinghan cadres once again gave a simple and comprehensive summary of Xinghan Zhixing's three cars. At this point, Xinghan Zhixing's car show has come to an end, but the test drive activities will still go on ~
At the same time, Xinghan Zhixing's three... no, two cars will continue to serve as facades in Stardust Plaza. The Xinghan 01 sample car has been removed, and some private space must still be left for Xinghan 001 and Xinghan 009.
They are the next flagship products, so they must be promoted first. It won’t be too late to lift the ban when Xinghan 01 reaches mass production standards.
The auto show activities of Xinghan Zhixing here have not yet completely ended. On the other side, major car companies have begun to "refute rumors" in response to some external doubts, such as... We are not scared! We have confidence in our products!
What?
Don’t dare to touch?
Who says you don’t dare anymore?
It's just that we temporarily signed a win-win agreement of "friendly cooperation" with Xinghan Zhixing ~ and we have always been a good partner! The next step is to announce our own brand's new energy plan.
Regardless of whether there is a specific product plan, at least it must give consumers a pie, but in this way... it may make consumers "lack of confidence", thus affecting their confidence in purchasing fuel vehicles.
Think about it, if new energy vehicles are fully developed and major car companies and cities adopt the new energy vehicle development strategies of Xinghan Zhixing and Haicheng, is it still necessary to buy fuel vehicles?
If there are further restrictions on travel and number restrictions...
Of course, the domestic car market is still in a growth period, and more than 90% of families regard "owning a car" as a goal. At least it is really convenient to drive now, instead of being consumed by all kinds of things.
It was also expected by Chen Zifan that major car companies would change their attitude and launch new energy plans. Unfortunately, there are still a large number of domestic brands, followed by joint venture brands, and there are almost no serious imported brands.
In their view, the Chinese market is just a very small market in the world. There is no need to be so concerned about it. Anyway, with similar cars, the Chinese "elites" will use their own set of theories to solve the problem.
Chinese consumers, how simple!
Where else can I use the brand headquarters to find solutions?
Isn’t it good to watch infighting?
But it doesn't matter. Chen Zifan also hopes that they will continue to be "conservative". What makes him a little speechless is that other car companies are promoting cooperation and new energy, but only Volvo is focusing on "safety".
He also made various boasts in the online media:
"Did you see that? Xinghan 001 did not dare to collide with us! They are afraid! We clearly did not send anyone to stop this event, so I have reason to suspect that this is a show jointly staged by Xinghan Zhixing and other car companies..."
etc!
Why do you feel something is wrong?
The person in charge of Volvo suddenly realized that Xinghan Zhixing is a new brand! Why does it feel like it is helping Xinghan Zhixing to do marketing? Using Volvo's safety to help Xinghan 001 advertise?
After thinking about this, he also scolded him directly: "You're so smart! You're so insidious!"
If Chen Zifan knew about it, he would have to ask him, "What the hell is this Gou Ba thing?" Wasn't this all made up by their own minds? What was Guan Xing Hanzhi doing?
Moreover, once Xinghan Zhixing's auto show event ended, the popularity dissipated very quickly, because after all, the two cars have been promoted for so long, and various parameter configurations have also been exposed, and they only missed the final launch of mass production.
Many consumers have even gone to Xinghan direct-operated stores to order cars in advance. Xinghan Zhixing is also willing to accept them and has even issued an announcement that car bookings can be made online and offline starting from today to attract customers.
At the same time, Stardust Community——
Without anyone paying attention, Stardust Technology once again exposed a new product in all aspects, with the same exclusive poster and partial product introduction, and this time the new product is Stardust-Ink.
It was the beginning of Chen Zifan's "replacement of physical books", but consumers did not seem to understand such a product, so when the ink screen electronic paper book appeared, many voices in the Stardust community questioned this product:
"Is this thing... of any use?"
"Yes! If you have a mobile phone, you can just use it to look at it? Why do you have to do this?"
"Someone must have bought it, because there are always people who overestimate their self-control and willpower and buy things they don't need at all, like this~"
"I think it is very practical! The mobile phone screen is too small, and although the OLED screen currently used by Stardust Technology is very high-definition, it is not good at protecting the eyes. Low-frequency dimming is more harmful to the eyes than blue light!"
