Chapter 435 Press Conference

 Do earth-shattering things and become an anonymous celebrity!

The true strength of the "Seven Sons of National Defense" may only be known to itself and Hexagon...

Compared with the "Mongrel Hou Yi" statue in Shuimu Academy of Fine Arts, this "incognito" statue at NPU may not have the so-called "multicultural integration" and "international aesthetics" that keep pace with the times.

But it is more about the "feelings of family and country" that are the essence of Chinese culture that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it immediately resonated with the two people present.

Mr. Ren and Mr. Yu heard the song and knew its elegant meaning.

"I am not alone in my path..." Mr. Ren sighed with his hands behind his hands.

"But Mr. Ren, if the other party doesn't come forward, we're afraid we'll be roasted on the fire..." Mr. Yu smiled bitterly.

After calming down, he also realized that the technology in his hand not only meant opportunities, but also meant huge risks.

Especially in the current international situation...

"Aren't we already being roasted on the fire?"

This rhetorical question left Mr. Yu speechless.

"But once the news leaks... do you need to pay attention to security?"

Mr. Ren naturally understood what Mr. Yu meant by "security."

However, after a long silence, he unexpectedly shook his head.

"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days? Even if it's not a certain person, it's probably someone else... Do we have to be in a state of panic all the time, and all the trees and grass are at war?"

"But……"

"Needless to say, I was a little hesitant about this at first, but with this technology, we are not without leverage.

What's more...since there are anonymous national warriors, there must also be warriors who charge into battle..."

Mr. Yu: "..."

"I understand. In this case, we will make all preparations and preparations to minimize the risk as much as possible."

"Well! We reciprocate the favor. The other party gave us such a big gift, so we can't help but express it..." Mr. Ren said again.

Of course, Gao Yuan did not put forward conditions, such as 51% of Sihai’s equity worth hundreds of billions.

However, compared to this level of disruptive technology, if you set up any company and boast about it, even if it is just a start-up company, the market value can easily exceed 100 billion, and the unit of measurement is still US dollars.

Not to mention that it also solved the imminent dilemma of Juchang.

In Mr. Ren's opinion, he made a lot of money from this transaction.

"Mr. Ren, do you mean to tilt our orders towards Bai Yeji as much as possible?"

As a domestic private enterprise, with the size of Juchang, if it slips through the fingers, it is a huge order for any small business.

"Well... of course this is what it should be. Since the other party is interested in our accumulation in the industry, their final goal should be to achieve in-depth cooperation with us.

There is nothing wrong with establishing a good relationship in advance.

As long as the other party needs it and we have it, we can try our best to contact the other party through cooperation... You should pay more attention to this matter."

Mr. Yu thought for a while.

"You have reminded me that when I went to Suzhou City before, Mr. Hu enthusiastically recommended an investment project to me.

It’s just that this project is inconsistent with our current strategy, so I didn’t agree.”

"Oh? What project is it?" Mr. Ren asked curiously.

"It's called Aidou New Energy, and it's a car-making project!"

"New energy vehicles...it's a cutting-edge technology track, good vision!"

Mr. Yu nodded with a strange look on his face.

"Well...the track is quite cutting-edge, but I seem to have heard recently that this company is going to close down..."

"Well……"



At this moment, Mr. Yu said that the new energy vehicle manufacturing base of Aidou was about to close down...

In a fully enclosed workshop, Mr. Bao and several engineers were surrounding an improved Idol D3 that had just rolled off the production line. They all had their eyes wide open, as if they had seen a ghost.

I saw that the driver's seat of the car was empty, but the steering wheel was spinning on its own, and then it stopped steadily into the marked parking space line...



Very few people know what actually happened in that workshop at that time.

Not long after, Idol’s official website released an announcement.

The Idol D3 new product launch conference, which has been postponed twice, will be held as scheduled. We sincerely invite all journalists and friends to attend the conference!

This caused a small commotion among local journalists.

Nowadays, the dilemma faced by Idou New Energy has gradually become known to the public.

Suppliers are blocking the door, employees are in arrears with wages, the boss is preparing to run away... In short, all kinds of gossip are flying around.

All news points to one conclusion...

Idols are basically like grasshoppers after the fall, they can't jump around for much longer.

As an established new energy vehicle company that has been eliminated by the reduction of subsidies, it has naturally attracted the attention of many practitioners in the industry.

So the next day, many reporters and colleagues came to the press conference one after another, and the venue of Nuo University was actually full.

"I thought today's press conference would be delayed again, but I didn't expect it to be held as scheduled?"

"I guess Mr. Bao knew that he couldn't go on any longer. The ticket has already been delayed twice. The ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law after all!"

"There's no point in delaying it any longer. Who in the industry still doesn't know about idols' situation?

Subsidies are declining, and the most important price-performance ratio of Idou, an account-accounting tool, is gone. I heard that all manufacturers are cutting orders.

How can a product with the same power as "Laotou Le" be sold without subsidies?

I see, this press conference is basically a farewell party."

"Who says it's not the case? If we maintain the original price, we will lose money on each one we build. Now let's see how bold Mr. Bao is to lower the price.

If the price drops by 20 to 30% to fill the gap caused by the subsidy reduction, maybe a few more cars can be sold."

The reporters were discussing in twos and threes in their seats.

Rather than saying that they came to attend a new product launch, it would be better to say that they came to interview a bankrupt company.

Many reporters have already begun to draft, preparing to ask about the "bankruptcy process" of Aidou Auto after the boring press conference is over...

At this time, there were three men in the front row who were also talking in low voices.

"Alas! Mr. Bao can be considered a veteran of new energy vehicles. I didn't expect that he would end up like this."

"Yes, the future will always be a world where technology is king. It is wrong for the other party to choose the route of profit first and research and development later!

The choice is still a low-end model of the A00 level. Market recognition is inherently limited, and it is destined to be unable to impact high-end brands.

What's even more failed is that the technology was rushed into large-scale production before it was mature, and now it has just expanded into a mess.

If the country gives him a few more years, maybe he can make a comeback and make a difference, but now it's too late..."

"Yes, there is no way to build new energy vehicles without burning money. I have scheduled the profit time until after 2023. Profitability is secondary to us entrepreneurs."

"Actually, this is also a good thing for us. Bad coins are driven out and good coins can circulate.

The old new energy car-making forces have withdrawn from the market, and then it is time for our three new car-making forces to step onto the stage of history."

"The two Mr. Lis said it right, market and technology are indispensable. Relatively speaking, technology is the core of the core compared to the market.

In my opinion, our future opponent is only Tesla..."

"Haha! Xiaopeng, you are the most technical among the three of us. Do you think there will be any refreshing highlights in Mr. Bao's new car launch conference?"

"The highlight? I think the price may be the highlight..."

"Uh...hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Just as the three of them were pointing the finger at Jiangshan, scolding Fang Qiu, and waiting to see "the end of the old era" while talking and laughing, the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed!

"Bang!" Immediately, the big screen in front of everyone suddenly lit up.

However, to everyone's expectation, the above was not the expected ppt, but a video.

To be precise, it is a live video recorded in high definition without any rendering or processing.

The background seemed to be an empty workshop, with only a petite red mini car parked inside.

To be fair, the exterior design of this car is not outstanding. It is better than those old cars, but it is also limited and does not give people any "eye-catching" sense of luxury.

Everyone was stunned.

There was no opening of the curtain or any other ceremony, but the new car of Idol Company, the Idol D3, was displayed directly in front of everyone...

"Uh...does this Bao always just mess it up? Doesn't he even care about the basic sense of ritual?"

The three people from before were immediately speechless.

The three entrepreneurs who had originally had little expectations for this conference suddenly felt disappointed.

However……

The car in the video started to move.

"Uh... this is... reversing into the warehouse?" Everyone was confused again.

Good guy, people also show videos at new car launches, but they are the kind of "artistic videos" that have been artistically processed, using streamlined bodies to show graceful figures in various mountains, rivers and lakes, and increasing consumers' desire to buy.

Are you just showing us the butt of the car when it is reversed into the garage?

To be honest, there is no beauty at all!

And...it actually stopped so crookedly!

The first time I put it into the warehouse, the line was so tight that the whole car almost turned sideways and parked in the parking space.

There were boos immediately at the scene.

"I took a taxi here, and you just let me see this?" "Refund the money!" "Can you be serious?"

"Can anyone come out and explain?"

"Isn't there enough money to even hire an experienced driver?"

Various discussions arose, but this was not over yet.

It seemed that the car was parked crookedly, so the car started to reverse into the garage for the second time...

This time, the line was still pressed, and the car was tilted 30° and parked in the parking space.

Some people at the scene already frowned.

The third time, the car parked squarely in the parking space, but this time it hit the bottom line again.

Some people at the scene began to gnash their teeth and seemed eager to go up and help park the car.

The fourth time, it was successfully put into storage, but it was slightly bumped in the corner, so it was not considered a success.

The fifth time, it was successfully put into the warehouse again. The car body was a few centimeters sideways, but fortunately it was successfully put into the warehouse.

The sixth time, it was put into storage perfectly. This time, the car and the parking space are almost symmetrical.

Many obsessive-compulsive patients present finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However... the next steps turned out to be side parking, parking without markings, parking with obstacles, and extreme parking...

There seem to be more than a dozen cameras around, faithfully recording the body movements from all angles and showing them to everyone...

"What is this? A driving school video for newbies? What's the point of showing us this?"

"protest!"

"Did you put the wrong video?"

The buzz got louder and louder, but no staff came forward to explain.

"Tell me, what is this Mr. Bao doing? Even if there is no hope, a good press conference shouldn't be such a joke, right?"

The other two people also frowned, unable to figure out what kind of medicine Mr. Bao was selling in his gourd.

until……

The camera suddenly zooms out!

For the first time, the entire new car, together with more than a dozen cameras around it, were finally fully reflected in the lens!

The whole place, which was originally a little noisy, fell silent instantly.

The three people in the front row widened their eyes with expressions of disbelief.

"this……"

The action was still the same, it was almost like replaying the previous video, but everyone clearly saw it...

The rookie they imagined sitting in the driver's seat... didn't exist at all!

The steering wheel is so windless and automatic...

"This...is this automatic parking?!"

The technical master, Xiaopeng, directly broke through the defense and opened his mouth in disbelief.

Hallucination?

My Xiaopeng Automobile has more than 400 R&D personnel, and has introduced the person in charge of the machine learning algorithm for the autonomous driving function Autopilot from Tesla. It has just achieved entry-level automatic parking on cutting-edge cars...

The entire cost of your A00-class mini car is not even enough for my lidar...

Now tell me, have you implemented automatic parking?!

The other two people also looked at each other and swallowed.

The scene was eerily quiet, with only occasional exclamations and a series of flashing lights.

It wasn't until the parking video that they had previously thought was boring was played from beginning to end again that the lights slowly came on.

At some point, Mr. Bao was already standing next to a car covered by a curtain, with a smile on his face.

“Everyone, welcome to our idol’s new car launch event.

I just heard a lot of people scolding me, so without further ado, let me now formally introduce to you this year’s latest model that our company has worked hard to develop..."

"Wow~" The red curtain was slowly opened by two beautiful emcees, revealing the true face of Lushan.

It's the same red car as in the video just now.

There is no suspense, and naturally there is no surprise!

However, everyone has been stunned by this wave of operations by the idol company!

Damn it! A00 level automatic parking...how to do it?

This car is simply incredible!

Mr. Bao looked at the people in the audience with a smile on his face.

“This product’s Idol D3 models include the 2018 basic model ‘Dou Niu Shi’.

And the upgraded version...'Sangdou Shi'!

And the theme of our conference today is – ‘Talking Car’!”
