Chapter 881 Big release, speed beyond the times (1)
The Shanghai Auto Show in September is also known as the first real platform for a head-on collision between fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles.
So it’s very worth looking forward to.
With everyone's expectations, the golden nine and silver ten of the automobile industry have finally arrived.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival in September, the Shanghai Auto Show opened.
Journalists from all over the world gathered at the Shanghai World Expo Center, carrying long guns and short cannons.
On the one hand, it’s to take pictures of cars, of course, on the other hand, it’s just to take pictures of beautiful car models.
Under the eager anticipation of everyone.
The reporters looked at the promotional brochure distributed to everyone by the organizers of the auto show.
Suddenly, I discovered that among the car companies participating in the auto show this time, there was no FF car (Mr. Jia) who has been doing PPT and vigorously promoting it, nor was there any car from Changtian Technology, which was very noisy some time ago.
This made many reporters very disappointed.
They also made a fair and objective evaluation of Changtian Technology’s failure to participate in this auto show.
Vehicle Home commented: “It is understandable that a company that engages in semiconductors and the Internet hopes to catch up with national policies, but a company that has no automotive background at all wants to create a car in a short period of time.
It is very difficult to come up with a car that can drive on the road and satisfy consumers."
Vehicle Home: "Although Changtian Technology acquired the well-known Swedish car brand Saab in the form of a controlling stake, Saab's global share is very low. Even if Changtian Technology reproduces Saab cars intact in the summer
Even if it is sold in China, it will be difficult to gain recognition from consumers.”
Vehicle Home concluded: Changtian Technology knows how much it weighs, so it was right not to come to this auto show.
Compared with Vehicle Home, overseas media are more confident.
They are not optimistic about the development of Xia's domestic automobile industry.
Because when it comes to producing and manufacturing cars, Westerners have more knowledge.
For example, the European media has paid attention to the Hongqi civilian version of the H5 launched by FAW Group, one of Xia's earliest automobile companies.
When they learned about some parameters of Hongqi cars, they even looked down upon Xia Guo's domestic cars.
Because this time, the Hongqi h5 car, which is hailed as the masterpiece of FAW Group, is basically copied from Mazda and built using the Mazda platform.
Of course, the engine is developed by ourselves, but it will consume more fuel.
A Hongqi car that is hailed as a national brand and the light of domestic products actually uses Japanese technology. How can Europeans think highly of Xia's car manufacturing?
As for new energy vehicles such as Biddy, Europeans look down upon them even more.
It's just a chassis plus a motor and a battery. There is no difference between this electric toy.
Under the attention of the media, the auto show started with great excitement.
As the world's largest auto market, the Shanghai Auto Show still hopes to build an auto show brand.
Therefore, this year's auto show is not just about viewing cars, but more importantly, selling cars. The auto show also offers many discounts.
Chen Xiao and Shen Wei had nothing to do during this time and also went to the Shanghai Auto Show to watch.
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
Chen Xiao also wants to know what kind of products these domestic and foreign competitors have come up with.
In terms of energy type, this auto show is divided into fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles.
In the display section of fuel vehicles, the biggest selling points of major car companies are appearance, interior, and power.
2.0T is standard in ordinary cars, and the displacement in luxury cars will be larger.
Fuel vehicles also regard the time per 100 meters as their selling point. Of course, compared with electric vehicles, the distance is still far behind.
Chen Xiao and Shen Wei came to Toyota's booth and looked at the 2017 Camry.
The staff immediately explained the advantages of the Camry to the two of them.
The most important advantage of Japanese cars is of course fuel efficiency.
After adopting the gasoline-electric hybrid, the fuel saving is really great.
After the staff explained a lot of fuel-saving benefits, Chen Xiao asked a fatal question: "When it comes to fuel efficiency, electric cars are more fuel-efficient. Why don't I buy a Tesla or other electric cars instead of buying a Toyota?"
In fact, the debate about the advantages and disadvantages between fuel vehicles and new energy electric vehicles has been going on for a long time.
Whether they are sellers of fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles, they have their own set of opinions.
Obviously, this question has been asked countless times by many people.
So the Camry owner smiled and replied: "Why should we develop new energy vehicles? The answer given by countless reviewers and professionals is that we actually consume energy and pollute."
"But have you ever thought that more than 70% of the world's electric energy comes from thermal power, which itself uses coal to generate electricity. This process itself is a process that pollutes the environment."
"Similarly, most of today's new energy vehicles use lithium batteries, and lithium batteries also cause a lot of pollution during the production process."
A Toyota salesperson laughed and said: "So all current new energy vehicles are actually false propositions."
Chen Xiao nodded.
He also believes that the current new energy vehicles that use lithium batteries as an important power source are false propositions in terms of so-called energy conservation and environmental protection.
"Sir, today we have an event at the auto show, and the price is more favorable than usual! You can order one!"
Chen Xiao waved his hand and left with Shen Wei.
And in the display area of new energy vehicles.
Whether it is Tesla or a domestic new energy vehicle, the most important highlights are the cruising range and charging speed.
The Tesla model 3, which has a relatively high sales volume, has a comprehensive range of 400 kilometers.
The Bidihan series is purely electric and has a cruising range of up to 400 kilometers.
Of course, some car companies have launched concept cars with a cruising range of up to 600 kilometers.
However, this type of car is extremely expensive and has no brand appeal.
Consumers will think, with this money, I can buy a fuel-powered luxury car and it will last for more than 10 years. Why should I buy a new energy car that has not been tested by the market?
That is, the current new energy vehicle technology has a cruising range of about 400 kilometers to 500 kilometers.
However, there is a significant gap between the officially marked battery life and the actual battery life.
Taking Tesla's Model 3 as an example, it uses Panasonic ternary lithium batteries.
The cruising range of the ordinary version is 445 kilometers. In fact, it is very good to be able to drive more than 350 kilometers when you get the new car.
If the air conditioner is turned on in the summer, or the activity of the lithium battery is reduced in the cold winter, then it is very good to have a comprehensive cruising range of 300 kilometers.
This is the disadvantage of new energy vehicles.
In addition, major new energy vehicle manufacturers also promote their own 100-meter acceleration.
Is acceleration of 100 meters useful?
It's definitely useful.
For example, when waiting for a traffic light to start, or when overtaking on the highway.
But is he really that useful?
Not really.
After all, major cities are very congested now. No matter how many seconds your acceleration to 100 meters is, your average speed can reach 20 kilometers per hour, which is very good. Most of the time, you will drive at a slow speed in the city.
Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to spend tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 extra seconds to accelerate to 100 meters faster by one second or a few tenths of a second.
Of course, the rich are the exception.
In fact, another selling point of new energy is fuel efficiency.
But in Chen Xiao’s view, this is actually a false proposition.
Because the sales price of new energy vehicles is generally tens of thousands, or even 100,000 higher than that of fuel vehicles with the same configuration.
This is the actual selling price even if the state provides subsidies for new energy vehicles.
Tens of thousands or more than 100,000, for many urban consumers, the money to refuel a good-quality fuel vehicle is enough to scrap it.
Moreover, new energy vehicles have only just started a few years ago. Whether it is Biddy Auto's lithium iron phosphate battery or Tesla's main ternary lithium battery, there are still many immature aspects in technology.
For example, except for the unified construction of super charging piles, home charging speeds are relatively slow.
The life of the battery is short. After long use, the effective capacity decreases sharply, the maintenance cost of the battery is high, and it is flammable and explosive. These are all very uncertain factors.
Chen Xiao concluded that if the country does not have corresponding support policies for new energy vehicles and if cities do not restrict the number of fuel vehicles, then the sales of new energy vehicles will suffer miserably.
After all, most consumers are not fools.
Although Shen Wei was not very interested in cars, after seeing so many cars with Chen Xiao, he also had a doubt.
She secretly said to Chen Xiao: "If I didn't live in a city with car license restrictions, I wouldn't find any reason to buy a new energy vehicle."
Chen Xiao laughed loudly after hearing what Shen Wei said.
Even if a little girl understands the truth, how can she not understand professional matters in some industries?
Of course they understand.
But they won't say.
Because this is their job.
Chen Xiao and Shen Wei left the auto show. In order to support this Shanghai auto show, the two of them consumed two sticks of ice cream at the auto show.
After returning to Nagasawa, Chen Xiao decided to launch a challenge to traditional car companies in Europe and Asia, as well as Tesla, which was at its peak.
He asked Gao Miao to come to his office.
"On September 39, a press conference will be held in Nagazezhou to release the Cangqiong A01 car."
After hearing the news, Gao Miao's heart skipped a beat.
Because the factories in Zheng City and Rongcheng are still under construction.
The number of cars coming off the production line at the Ning City factory is less than 1,000.
Is it too hasty to release the car at this time?
When Gao Miao asked this question, Chen Xiao replied with a smile: "Not everything requires preparation."
"President Jia's FF car doesn't even have a tire yet. It has held many press conferences and raised tens of billions of dollars in funds."
"We are different from Mr. Jia. We not only have PPT, but also have existing cars."
"First put Cangqiong Auto into the market to see the effect. If we encounter problems, we will make timely adjustments."
"This is better than if we produce 108,000 cars and then wait and see how the market responds, right?"
"The market's reaction cannot be accurately judged by any simulation or prediction. Only consumers can make accurate judgments."
Chen Xiao successfully persuaded Gao Miao.
Changtian Technology has invested a lot of manpower, money and time in the field of new energy vehicles, from scientific research to final construction of factories and vehicle production.
You must go through a major test to know what your results are, and to make timely adjustments if you encounter problems.
Therefore, timely release should be done sooner rather than later.
What's more, the new energy vehicle strategy is an important part of Changtian Technology Group's technology matrix strategy.
Only by completely defeating the European automobile industry can Changtian Technology's matrix products truly go global.
But Europe, which is extremely arrogant, can truly realize that Europe is already faltering.
The global auto show in Shanghai is in full swing.
Galaxy Energy Company, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology Group, released an announcement.
Cangqiong Automobile Company, a subsidiary of Galaxy Energy Company, will release the Cangqiong A01 new energy vehicle on September 29 at the Changzezhou Convention and Exhibition Hall.
The theme of the new energy vehicle conference is: speed beyond the times.
Below this message, there is a picture of Mohu, and the outline of the car can be vaguely seen.
After Galaxy Energy announced this news, the official Weibo and chat chats of Changtian Technology Group and multiple subsidiaries forwarded this news.
Thousands of invitations were sent to all parts of the world.
The invited list includes not only industry media such as Vehicle Home, but also the main people in charge of Tesla, Biddy, Volkswagen, Toyota and other car brands or the person in charge of the Xiaguo area.
In an instant, the news that Changtian Technology was about to release new energy vehicles became a hot search topic on Weibo.
At this time, everyone in the automobile industry, various media and ordinary netizens were very surprised.
After all, Changtian Technology was reported to have entered the automotive industry only in the first half of this year, and its acquisition of Saab was only in April this year.
This is only September.
Could it be that in just 5 months, Changtian Technology has developed a new energy vehicle?
They don't know that the automobile factory in Ning City has existed for more than 10 years.
Changtian Technology has been conducting research in automobile-related fields for four or five years.
After invitation letters are sent to major automobile companies.
The relevant person in charge of Xia Guo’s automobile field still attaches great importance to it.
After all, the subject of this conference is Changtian Technology, the Changtian Technology that has truly changed the world.
A technology company that has subverted the world in the medical, semiconductor, computer and network fields is about to enter the automotive field. What changes it will bring to the entire industry is of great concern.
Biddy Motors directly sent its vice president to attend the press conference.
Major media outlets around the world are very excited.
Every time Changtian Technology releases a new product, the topics covered are the top traffic in the world.
They believe this time will be no exception.
Overseas car brands such as Toyota Volkswagen dismissed the invitation letter issued by Changtian Technology.
In the past few years, all major Internet factories in Xia have been producing cars, and they have received too many invitations.
In the past few times, companies such as Toyota and Volkswagen sent representatives to participate in the conference, only to find that Xia Guo's automobile factories produced a pile of industrial waste, a pile of industrial waste fraudulently obtained subsidies.
In recent years, after they receive the invitation letter, they will directly throw it into the trash.
