Rebirth 2008: I Can Make Money Reading

Shencheng, Tianmashan Circuit.

It is located in Tianma Town on the edge of Sheshan, a suburb of Shencheng. It is a small racing track with a length of about two kilometers.

Of course, this Tianma Circuit is not as good as the official Shanghai International Circuit, but it is also the second largest circuit in Shanghai. The rental fee is more acceptable to some wealthy second generations, and drag racing here is not illegal.

If you are racing in the neighborhood, it is easy to die, not to mention, if you fail, you will also be buried with him.

On June 1st, three members of Shanghai HCA Top Sports Car Club rented this racing track for three days for drag racing.

This club was founded by the exclusive agent of the Koenigsegg brand in mainland China. Each club member has a family wealth of more than one billion yuan. For example, Jiang Xin, the son of Jiang Quanlong, owns four luxury cars worth 30 million yuan; star Lin Zhiying , his luxury car needless to say; Li Qi, the young master of the Li-Ning Group...

There are at least 4,000 invisible rich people in Huaguo. These cannot be exposed. If they are exposed, the tax bureau will come to them. Of course, there are also reasons for some people to keep a low profile.

In fact, it is a top circle, using the car as a bridge to meet friends and network.

At three o'clock this afternoon, hundreds of people gathered at the Tianma Circuit. There were dozens of luxury cars on the scene, such as a Bugatti worth tens of millions, a Pagani Zonda worth 30 million, a Pagani worth 40 million, and a car worth 15 million. Ferrari, Enzo, and more, and one more big guy: the Hummer EV.

This Hummer EV is the first Hummer EV on the road in China.

It was the car that Qin Fen bought for 6.66 million yuan at the Shencheng International Auto Show. It was also in the hot news for a while and became a big hit. Media reporters have been paying attention to the use of this car.

Today's theme is that Qin Fen will use the Hummer EV to challenge various luxury brand sports cars, and friends from all walks of life will bring paparazzi to join in the fun.

In addition, they also notified a media and two car platforms to join in the fun. It was a small test, and many cameras were set up at the scene. There are not many themes of this kind of competition, which can attract the attention of car fans.

After the end of the auto show, Xinghai Hummer Company notified Qin Fen to go through the formalities and pick up the car.

After Qin Fen got the car, he couldn't help but take the high-speed test drive that day.

For the first test drive experience, using the word cool can't express his coolness at all, and it really subverted his experience.

The car is heavy, but the steering wheel is very light, the steering is very smart, the body is long and the wheelbase is large, but the turning radius is no different from that of ordinary compact SUVs;

The speed of the sports car is fast, and it feels unsafe to sit on it, but on the Hummer EV, the speed from 100 kilometers to 3.5 seconds is faster than that of ordinary sports cars. It feels like A flying tank is not afraid of collision at all;

Needless to say, the leather seats are perforated, heated, ventilated, and massaged. Generally, the seats of luxury cars may be equipped with leather, but they are not perforated, and there is no massage function. The wrapping of the seats is a bit poor.

The lumbar support, leg support and headrest of the Hummer EV seat can all be adjusted. The functions are very fine, and you can adjust it to your favorite appearance. The seat is large and feels similar to sitting on a sofa.

Generally, luxury cars are basically equipped with navigation functions, but the cars of this year really don’t have voice navigation, or they are relatively slow. For the Hummer EV, Qin Fen only needs to call "navigate to XX Club", and the car responds "OK", about half of the time. A second of dullness, and then it showed that the route was for him to choose, and his reaction speed was faster than most.

To Qin Fen's surprise, the Hummer EV has the function of head-up display, which is to project important driving information such as speed and navigation onto the driver's front windshield, so that the driver can see it without bowing or turning his head. driving information.

The HUD head-up display function originally originated from military fighter jets, mainly to enable the pilots in the fighter jets to obtain the important information they need directly through the glass cockpit cover, so as to achieve the realm of "integration of man and machine" in the ever-changing battle.

At this time, the Hummer EV has this head-up display function, which seems to be black technology.

Maybe ten years later, domestically-produced cars worth more than 200,000 yuan will be equipped with this function, but at this time, there is really no such feature on luxury cars.

The car is big, but it is equipped with an air suspension, which makes the car more stable over bumps and has a good filtering effect. The windows are double-glazed, and the car actively reduces noise. It has an off-road appearance, but it can enjoy the comfortable experience of a Rolls-Royce.

Due to the large size of the car, it is also equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image. When turning or reversing, sitting in the car can clearly see the surrounding environment of the car body, and there is no need to get out of the car to observe. If this function is installed on a large truck, there is no need to worry about blind spots.

Coupled with the automatic parking function, for those novice drivers, there is no need to worry about parking such a large car. Moreover, there is a four-wheel steering system, which allows the four wheels to park sideways at an angle. is the problem.

Needless to say, there are functions such as active parking and full-speed self-cruising system. Other luxury cars have them, and the Hummer EV must have them, and the Hummer EV has them, but other cars may not have them.

On the runway, Hummer EV and a Bugatti Veyron are side by side, ready to compete.

The Bugatti Veyron is just like the younger brother next to the Hummer EV, and its height seems to be only half of the Hummer EV.

There are dozens of sports cars on the scene, but they are not as attractive as a big one.

It was Jiang Xin who drove the Bugatti Veyron, and they shook hands with a smile.

"Qin Fen, how do you compare? Who will finish the lap first?"

"Okay, as long as you finish the run first, if you lose, give me your Bugatti Veyron for a week."

"Don't talk about losing, you big guy, I heard that the starting speed is very fast, 3.5 seconds to 100 kilometers, but no matter how fast, it is comparable to my car's 2.5 seconds? Besides, it is much more stable when cornering than your car. Faster, your car is going through the curve quickly, the car is so big, it's no wonder it doesn't overturn, I suggest you wear a helmet."

"Don't worry, my car won't overturn. Even if it overturns, the car is strong enough, but you still have to wear a helmet. You are the same. I don't want your old man to trouble me after something happens."

The two beckoned, and soon a paparazzi got them two helmets.

Wearing helmets in racing cars is nothing new. These rich second generations are playing for fun, but they still pay attention to safety. They are not the nouveau riche who raced so fast that they died.

The two put on their helmets, sat in the main cab, started the car, stepped on the brake with one foot, and stepped on the accelerator with the other.

The surrounding paparazzi set off the fireworks, the referee waved his hand, Qin Fen and Jiang Xin released the brakes, and the two cars catapulted off and flew out.

The cheers and cheers on the scene were louder and louder.

The speed of the car was getting faster and faster, and it was flying towards the end of the straight two or three hundred meters.

With a starting speed of 30 to 40 meters, the two cars moved forward side by side, and it was impossible to see the outcome.

When approaching fifty meters, the Bugatti Veyron was still slightly better, faster and faster than the Hummer EV, and the Hummer EV was like a tank chasing straight ahead, wanting to crush the Bugatti Veyron.

The hundreds of people watching the audience shouted, this scene is too shocking.

When approaching the corner, the sports car had to slow down, throw a car body, and slip to turn. Although the Hummer EV was a few beats slower, it turned smoothly and did not overturn.

However, no matter how powerful the Hummer is, its acceleration in the second half is still inferior to that of the Bugatti Veyron.

Everyone saw that the Bugatti Veyron left the Hummer EV behind, and felt that victory was not a problem.

However, after running halfway, Qin Fen directly drove the Hummer EV, taking advantage of the car's high chassis and exaggerated off-road performance, directly crossing the lawn to take a shortcut instead of running on hard roads.

Now, no matter how fast the Bugatti Veyron runs, it can’t compare to the Hummer EV’s shortcut. The problem is that the Bugatti Veyron’s chassis is low, so it’s impossible to take a shortcut, and its strength does not allow it!

This scene made hundreds of spectators speechless!

That's okay too?

Isn't this cheating?

However, when the two competed, they didn't make it clear which way they couldn't win, as long as they reached the finish line the fastest.

There is no doubt that in the end, the Hummer EV crossed the finish line first.

"Fuck! Cheating!"

Jiang Xin, who drove the Bugatti Veyron, couldn't help cursing when he saw the Hummer EV taking a shortcut.

After arriving at the finish line, turn off the engine and walk up to Qin Fen: "You cheated! It doesn't count, just lend me your car for a week."

Qin Fen chuckled: "Shit, you have the ability to drive a Bugatti Veyron to take a shortcut, just find a car on the spot, and if you take a shortcut faster than my car, I'll lose."

"It's not fair!"

"What's fair? You compare the speed of a sports car worth tens of millions with a big guy like me. You're just kidding. Hey, if you lose, you lose. Next time, figure out the rules."

"Okay, Ma Dan, you win this round."

Jiang Xin was unhappy, but he had to admire Qin Fen's big car. Modan started so fast, especially when crossing the lawn belt, it was too exaggerated.

His sports car has to be careful when passing speed bumps, which is too uncomfortable.

No, he has to buy a Hummer EV too.

Putting his arms around Qin Fen's shoulders: "Qin Fen, you can't sell this car for 8 million."

"Sell you wool, this is Mu Yang's signature edition, limited worldwide, do you understand what a limited edition is! You can't buy it with money, do you think I'm short of money?"

"Of course you don't need money, well, let's not talk about money, do you have a channel to buy another car, money is easy to talk about."

Qin Fen sneered, too lazy to answer such questions.

Now this car is not on the market yet, and he doesn't know Mu Yang. If the other party is Shencheng Company, maybe there is still a way to get acquainted.

"What do you mean? Is there any way?" Seeing his wicked smile, Jiang Xin wanted to beat him up.

"You'd better wait for the Hummer EV to be launched. I heard that it will be launched overseas."

"It's been too long, and importing is too troublesome. I thought you knew someone inside the Xinghai Group, so you could buy one."

"I don't know, do you think people like Mu Yang who are engaged in scientific research play with people like us?" Qin Fen said honestly.

Jiang Xin shook his head, Mu Yang was even higher than his old man, let alone a rich second generation like him.

Sighing, he threw the Bugatti Veyron's car keys to Qin Fen and conceded the bet. With so many people present, he couldn't lose face.

...

The video of the competition between Bugatti Veyron and Hummer EV was uploaded to the Internet media, and soon aroused heated discussions among netizens.

Of course, Qin Fen and Jiang Xin were coded.

This video quickly spread abroad, causing foreigners to have a new understanding of the Hummer EV.

Especially in the beautiful countries of North America and Canada, many local tyrants who love off-roading fell in love with Hummer EV instantly.

Xinghai Hummer Company is preparing for pre-sale recently, and the publicity has been overwhelming in North American countries.

Hummer has opened directly-operated stores in important cities, but has not cooperated with dealers or opened agents.

This is Mu Yang’s suggestion. He thinks that the Hummer EV will definitely sell well. The operating cost of the direct sales method will be higher, but the profit will also be higher. The terminal price can be controlled, and the customers are really affordable. Don’t worry about being cheated by the car dealer .

Of course, this method also has disadvantages. If the sales are not good, the operating costs will increase greatly, and the channels will be poor.

Muyang’s approach is the same as that of Weilai and other new forces. For example, Weilai, they rent stores in large shopping malls with a lot of traffic as their operating venues. The stores are directly-operated stores, and they do not distribute cars to 4S stores. 4S stores also cannot buy cars at preferential prices from manufacturers.

The cost of renting a store is higher, but the publicity effect is very good. Large-scale shopping malls directly face potential customers, and they can view cars on the spot instead of going to remote car dealerships.

Many customers who didn't plan to buy a car at first changed their minds and planned to change their car after seeing the current car.

There are two ways of pre-sale, one is on-site reservation, and the other is official website reservation. The official website recommends customers to book on-site.

Time passed quietly, and it was June 10th.

The pre-sale price of Hummer EV has been announced. There are two versions in total, which are not different from the previous announcement.

600km version: The pre-sale price is US$144,800! Equivalent to 984,600 RMB.

800km version: The pre-sale price is US$188,800! Equivalent to 1.2838 million RMB.

There are also some optional gift packages, such as car refrigerator, audio brand, number of speakers, tire size, etc., which require additional money.

The announcement of this price caused a sensation in the auto industry, and was rushed to be reported by foreign media, and domestic media will also reproduce it one after another.

But it’s not surprising. After all, it’s the real thing. Many people in the auto industry and customers have seen the real car. Some people thought that the low-end version would cost $170,000, and the high-end version would cost $210,000.

Overseas prices were announced, and domestic car enthusiasts also asked Xinghai Group to build a car factory in China, hoping to buy domestic cars.

However, Xinghai Group did not respond.

On June 15th, Mu Yang posted a message on Weibo: "Domestic car fans, take it easy. After the overseas pre-sale on July 1, we will see the pre-sale results before deciding whether to build a factory in China. Maybe overseas The pre-sale is not directly related to the domestic pre-sale, but building a factory is not buying Chinese cabbage, I hope everyone understands.”

After Mu Yang's news was announced, fans supported him one after another.

Ordinary people can't afford millions of cars, but they hope to see the rise of domestic cars and defeat imported cars and joint venture cars.

If the results of overseas pre-sales are not satisfactory, Chinese people can only buy imported cars to buy Hummer EV, and the price will definitely be much more expensive.

Maybe domestic sales are very good, and it is certain to build factories in China.

If the domestic sales volume is average, there is no need to build another factory in the country, and can only be imported.
