Hongqi changed hands. The brand that once carried the memories of countless people has now been acquired by Tesla. A private car company has taken away this brand full of national sentiments.
This news broke, causing countless people to discuss it. Looking at those comments, most of them were applauding.
"Great, Hongqi can finally be resurrected..."
"I feel relieved that I fell into Brother Fan's hands. Dahongqi, I look forward to your resurrection with full health..."
"Brother Fan will not let us down..."
"FAW finally did something conscientious..."
"I felt relieved when I saw it was a Tesla..."
"The red flag can be saved..."
Most of the comments were applauding, which made all the old Hongqi people feel ashamed. This time, Hongqi went away completely, and the mess was left to FAW.
All its fuel-powered models will be discontinued, and the production lines will be released to produce other FAW models. As for those employees, FAW also has specific arrangements.
Hongqi is gone, completely gone. Tesla’s 500 million is just to buy a qualification. After all, Hongqi is now an independent brand and can produce fuel vehicles.
However, Tesla already responded at the press conference. The red flag for the future is to fully electrify and completely abandon fuel vehicles.
This means that Hongqi will say goodbye to fuel vehicles in the future. From now on, Hongqi, like Tesla, will take the road of electric vehicles, and Tesla’s technology will also be transferred to Hongqi. Simply put, Hongqi is a low-end version.
Tesla.
The cooperation between FAW and Tesla has also been dug up by the media. However, the news released is that FAW and Tesla will jointly develop a pure electric vehicle for FAW. After all, FAW has to consider its own face.
This news made more car companies take action, especially those state-owned enterprises, BAIC, GAC, Dongfeng, Changan...
Counting FAW, the five major state-owned enterprise groups have a very large influence in China. However, among independent brands, except for Changan and GAC, which are better, the other three are miserable.
Even Changan and GAC are only slightly better. Not to mention competing with joint venture brands, even private brands cannot compete.
Now that FAW has taken the lead, they are naturally unwilling to lag behind. Everyone has taken action, and Tesla naturally welcomes their requests.
Anyway, reshape cars can be sold by one company or by five companies. The price of selling it to five companies is always better than selling it to one company. After all, everyone likes different brands.
Casting a wide net to catch fish is Tesla’s strategy. The actions of state-owned enterprises have also made several other private enterprises uneasy.
Although they are also developing electric vehicles, their technological accumulation in the field of electric vehicles is still relatively weak.
After all, they can't compete with Zhang Fan, and they don't have so much money to spend on acquiring electric vehicle technology. But in the electric vehicle industry, technology is everything.
Everyone in the industry knows how much money Tesla has spent. It has spent 70 to 80 billion yuan. Who dares to play with such a big deal except Zhang Fan?
Tesla has become a hot commodity. All major car companies have come over to compete for cooperation. If Tesla were a listed company, its stock would definitely rise sharply now.
Unfortunately, Tesla is not a listed company and has no plans to go public in the short term. However, this cannot stop Tesla from making a fortune. After all, Tesla's sales are still good, and some foreign countries have begun to pre-order it.
Sold.
However, the pre-sale price abroad is not cheap, and the pre-sale price abroad is much higher than that in China. This makes domestic consumers vent their anger.
After all, Tesla’s competitor abroad is Maserati. Therefore, the starting price of MODEL 3 is more than 60,000 US dollars.
This is still the 50D standard version, other versions are more expensive. As for the configuration, the configuration is similar. The foreign price is also one of Tesla’s domestic promotion strategies to let them understand that Tesla is on the same level as Porsche and Maserati.
As for this pricing, Tesla also has its own considerations. After all, Tesla's current main market is domestic. In foreign markets, there will not be very good sales in a short period of time.
After all, there are not such a dense number of electric vehicle charging piles abroad, nor such strong state subsidies. At the same time, foreign luxury cars are cheap, and Tesla's competitiveness is not high.
Since the sales volume is not high, let’s just be more aloof. Let Tesla take a high-end route and become a toy for rich people.
Tesla has completely become a hot commodity, and of course it has become busy again. R&D staff are also busy with various research and development, and the headhunters of Longteng Group have also taken action again.
The target is still senior R&D personnel of major car companies. This time the target is broader, not just Volkswagen, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW.
Even sports car companies such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani, and McLaren are among the targets. In a word, poach people, poach capable people, poach truly capable people.
Tesla now sells many models. Commercial vehicles, urban SUVs, station wagons, and even hardcore off-road vehicle projects are also available, as well as supercars.
At the same time, electric trucks, electric buses, etc. Tesla has been positioned as a comprehensive automobile group from the beginning.
His target is not brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but large groups such as Daimler, Volvo and Volkswagen.
Tesla is busy, and Longteng Group is also envious of being busy. But Zhang Fan is quietly waiting for the arrival of his baby.
January 1, 2019, New Year's Day. On this day, Leng Yuefei was pushed into the delivery room.
Zhang Fan also followed into the delivery room, holding Leng Yuefei's hand tightly with one hand, and using a hot towel with the other hand to wipe Leng Yuefei's sweat.
"Take a deep breath, come on, try harder..."
Experienced doctors guided Leng Yuefei to give birth naturally. This was Leng Yuefei's own choice. And after various examinations, Leng Yuefei's current condition allowed her to have a natural birth.
However, the hospital was fully prepared. If a vaginal delivery did not go smoothly, a cesarean section was immediately performed.
Zhang Fan sat next to Leng Yuefei and had experienced so many ups and downs. He had even experienced life and death, but today Zhang Fan was the most nervous.
"ah……"
Leng Yuefei exerted force again, gritted her teeth, and held Zhang Fan's hand firmly.
"Wow……"
A baby's cry echoed throughout the delivery room, and Leng Yuefei's body suddenly relaxed.
Zhang Fan lowered his head and kissed Leng Yuefei gently on the forehead. At this moment, the two people's faces were full of happiness.
"Chairman, congratulations to you, you are worth a thousand gold, seven pounds and eight taels..."
The medical staff wiped the little guy clean, wrapped him in a small mattress and sent him to Zhang Fan. The little guy was just born with fair skin. When he saw the little guy, Zhang Fan stretched out his hand and carefully held the newborn.
Zhang Fan, who had always been strong, suddenly started crying at this moment.
