The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Lin Zhongping smiled and said, "How much discount do you plan to give? Tell me about it."

Wang Yongshun hesitated for a moment.

When it comes to luxury cars, the biggest worry is a collapse in value.

If the price of a new car is lowered, then it is likely to face very terrible consequences.

"How about a 10% discount?" Wang Yongshun gritted his teeth and said a price. "We've never sold it at this price before, so if we can make the deal, I hope you can keep it a secret for us."

When Lin Zhongping heard this, he laughed and said, "You are really too generous!"

"I'm afraid you think that a 10% discount is already a blessing to us? Haha!"

"But more than 50 is still too high!"

After saying that, Lin Zhongping walked out of the exhibition hall with Lao Qian and others.

Wang Yongshun was very panicked.

He really wanted to lower the price further.

However, if the price is lowered further, it will seriously affect Mercedes-Benz's brand value and reputation if the news spreads.

It is estimated that there will be backlash from old Mercedes-Benz owners.

Therefore, it must not be lowered any further.

"Boss, the other party has walked out and is going to the Hongqi store diagonally opposite." A salesperson said to Wang Yongshun.

Of course the salesperson would like to get this order.

Because that would bring him a considerable commission.

Wang Yongshun said irritably: "They are not our target customers! If they want to leave, then just leave!"

"Look at their appearance, they are only worthy of driving cheap cars."

Lao Qian breathed a sigh of relief when he brought these friends out of the Mercedes-Benz showroom.

He said he wanted to support his good friend Li Moyan, but he never kept his word.

At this moment, there were actually other people in the Hongqi H1 exhibition hall who came to see the cars.

A young couple came to see the car.

This young couple were originally employees of a state-owned enterprise, but later they resigned and went into business.

They opened a snack bar.

Unexpectedly, the business was so prosperous that I made more than 300,000 yuan in a year.

They bought a house and were preparing to buy a car.

Today I came here specifically to see the Hongqi H1.

Li Moyan felt that this young couple would most likely be left alone.

Because they braved such heavy snow to come here to experience the Hongqi H1. The two of them felt the various functions of the car and loved it very much.

Li Moyan thought, if we could get a reservation, we would be off to a good start.

Therefore, he received the two men personally.

He was talking to the young man when he saw Lao Qian and others walk in.

Li Moyan was overjoyed and quickly asked other sales staff to explain to the young people on his behalf.

He himself hurried over to meet him.

"Everyone, thank you for coming to see the car in the heavy snow. Please come and experience our prototype. If the weather is good today, we can even take it for a test drive."

Li Moyan said enthusiastically.

Old Qian smiled and introduced Li Moyan to those friends.

Li Moyan was also a generous man who was good at making friends. After a short while, he became familiar with several people.

These people came to the only sample car in the hall and began to experience the car.

"For an entry-level luxury car, it's rare to have an electronic remote key and electric lifting windows!"

"What I didn't expect was that it actually had AEB function, automatic transmission and a 2.0T engine..."

Lin Zhongping said with emotion.

Lao Qian said proudly: "In fact, the most unexpected thing about it is that the 2.0T engine is so fuel-efficient. When driving at high speed, the minimum fuel consumption is less than 5 liters per kilometers. Domestic cars are really amazing. This is the most fuel-efficient luxury car in the world!"

Li Moyan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin and Mr. Qian, for your affirmation. I can say that this is the most cost-effective entry-level luxury car."

"You guys just came from the Mercedes-Benz showroom. You should have a deep understanding of this, right? Their top-of-the-line S-Class luxury cars don't have the advanced AEB function like ours, and their S-Class luxury cars don't have the advanced turbocharged engines like ours."

Lin Zhongping said: "There is one problem that I think needs to be mentioned: in the business world, what matters is pomp and appearance."

“Even if your Hongqi H1 is very good, it will be a big problem if your price is too low.”

"Rich people and big companies need more expensive luxury cars to show their status."

Li Moyan smiled and said, "You are absolutely right. China Passenger Vehicle Group has also considered this."

"We will launch better luxury cars and flagship cars in the future."

"The selling price should be up to one million RMB."

"But we all know that luxury cars are not the more expensive the better."

"The top luxury cars are basically toys for a very small number of people, and only a few can be sold."

"This is also the main reason why supercar and luxury car companies cannot compete with the economic car giants."

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Qian, if you want to order a more advanced and expensive model, that's no problem. Although we don't have a sample car here, we can already order Hongqi H5 and Hongqi H9."

"Our top luxury car Hongqi H9 is equipped with enough features to completely crush Hans's top luxury car..."

Li Moyan took out the picture album distributed by the company and began to explain it to these people.

In the Hongqi series of cars, H1 is the entry-level, H5 is the mid-range luxury car, and H9 is the top luxury car.

In Hongqi's mid-range luxury cars, large smart screens are already standard, and they also have in-car refrigerators and phones.

There are also adjustable zero-gravity seats with seat ventilation and massage. Other features include adaptive cruise control and other functions.

The starting price of Hongqi's mid-range luxury cars is RMB 30 to RMB 50.

The top-of-the-line H9 even has functions such as automatic parking and intelligent voice control.

These functions all belong to the field of intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is definitely just in its infancy in this era.

Intelligent functions like those that appear in the Hongqi car brochure can be said to be the best in the world and definitely do not exist in foreign car companies.

As the saying goes, rare things are the most valuable.

If others don’t have it but you do, then you can sell it at a high price.

Lin Zhongping looked at the introduction in the album. He was a little surprised and a little skeptical.

"Mr. Li, can this automatic parking and adaptive cruise driving function really be realized?" Lin Zhongping asked.

Li Moyan smiled and said, "Boss Lin, since it is clearly written in black and white on this album, then it is definitely true."

"You also know that our China Passenger Vehicle Group was founded under the leadership of Wang Haoran."

"Wang Haoran is a top expert in the field of electronic intelligence!"

"These intelligent functions have actually been used in the military industry for a long time."

"If Wang Haoran says he can do something, then it will definitely become a reality, without any discount at all."

Lin Zhongping nodded and said, "I am completely convinced by what you said, Mr. Wang!"

"He has made great and indelible contributions to the scientific and technological development of our country!"

Old Qian said at the side: "Such a nice car, it will be very prestigious to drive it out."

"Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, I think they are all weak compared to Hongqi."

"My company is just starting out, and I don't have a lot of money right now. So, I'll order two to support domestic production!"

"Order a top-of-the-line Hongqi H1, and then a top-of-the-line Hongqi H5." "Mr. Li, when can the cars be delivered?"

Li Moyan was overjoyed. He thought to himself, Lao Qian is really a good brother. He can talk about anything.

And all of them must be top-notch.

The top-of-the-line Hongqi H1 costs more than 28 yuan.

The top-of-the-line Hongqi H5 costs 48.8 yuan.

"Thank you Mr. Qian for your support! According to the company's notice, if you place an order now, you can pick up the car within two months at most."

Lao Qian nodded and said, "Is two months enough?"

"If you want to reserve a Mercedes, it will take at least half a year."

“You may have matured the technology for Hongqi H1, but can you also produce Hongqi H5 within this time frame?”

Old Qian is considering Li Moyan.

Li Moyan smiled and said, "Two months is enough."

"In fact, all the technologies of our Hongqi series have matured, and the prototypes have been built and are being tested. As far as I know, the Hongqi H9 performed very well in the test! It can even completely let go of the steering wheel on certain roads and let the car drive automatically!"

"Well! This is the true meaning of adaptive cruise control!"

Lin Zhongping's eyes widened: "Is there a video I can watch?"

He was moved.

Because this kind of autonomous driving is so high-end!
If this kind of technology were to be demonstrated in public, all the cars in the world would be rubbish in front of the Hongqi H9.

Li Moyan said: "The company hasn't sent us the video yet."

"Because this brand new technology must pass relevant national assessments! It also needs to be registered and patented, etc. In short, it is quite troublesome."

As Li Moyan was speaking, another person walked in from outside. It was the courier of the express mail service.

Express delivery like this is basically time-limited.

Therefore, even if it is snowing heavily, delivery must be made in a timely manner.

"Li Moyan, please sign for your mail." The postman handed Li Moyan a mail and said.

After Li Moyan signed it, he pinched it with his hand and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a video disc."

He opened it and saw that it was indeed a CD.

Li Moyan asked someone to insert the CD into the CD drive of a laptop and played it directly on the laptop.

The content of this CD is actually a video of an intelligent driving test of Hongqi H5 and H9.

All the customers in the Hongqi car showroom gathered around.

There were about seven or eight people in total.

The video starts playing.

In the video, the Hongqi sedan parks automatically smoothly and naturally, and can easily park in any parking space.

This caused the onlookers to exclaim in surprise.

In addition, the video also shows the adaptive cruise driving scene.

There was no one in the driver's seat of the car at all. The car was driving on a closed road, turning freely, driving at the speed indicated on the roadside, and automatically avoiding and slowing down when encountering obstacles on the road.

This scene stunned all the customers who came to see the car.

“Oh my god! Is it really possible to achieve fully autonomous driving?”

"It's amazing! It turns out that our domestic high-tech has developed to such a high level!"

"I have to say, this car is really advanced. Just the self-driving technology alone has left all other cars far behind."

After watching the video, everyone started talking about it.

Lin Zhongping asked: "If we order the Hongqi H9 now, will it be delivered within two months?"

Li Moyan smiled and nodded and said, "Yes!"

Lin Zhongping asked again: "How much does the top configuration of H9 cost?"

Li Moyan said: "For the top configuration, it will be 99.9998 yuan. Let's take a good omen."

Lin Zhongping said: "The top configuration means it has all the functions, right? Things like automatic parking and adaptive cruise control, they must all be available?"

Li Moyan nodded and said, "Yes! Moreover, there are exclusive service seats that will serve you at any time."

Lin Zhongping took a breath and felt a little excited.

He knew this was a good time to hype!
If he orders the first top-of-the-line Hongqi H9 in Beijing, maybe he will be able to appear on TV.

Lin Zhongping said: "Then I will order a top-of-the-line H9!"

"However, when signing the agreement, I asked for a written statement: If after picking up the car, there are no truly reliable automatic parking, adaptive cruise control and other functions, I ask for a refund and compensation!"

Li Moyan smiled and nodded, saying, "That's no problem."

"Our company can guarantee and promise!"

Li Moyan was overjoyed.

The top-of-the-line H9 costs one million!
It seems that today is going to be a good start.

The five people brought by Lao Qian finally signed five car purchase agreements, and they bought a total of nine cars.

After signing the agreement, you must pay the deposit immediately.

This deposit is a large deposit, and you need to pay at least 5 yuan.

The couple who came to look at the car ended up ordering a Hongqi H5.

They originally wanted to buy an H1, but after watching the video, they changed their minds and decided to bite the bullet and buy an H5, but they bought the mid-range model. They wanted the mid-range model to have the automatic parking function.

This morning, Li Moyan's Hongqi 4S store sold a total of 10 cars!

The transaction amount also exceeded 600 million!
Liu Caihong couldn't close her mouth because of laughing.

Every time a Hongqi employee signs a contract or sells a car, they must set off a firework outside the door to celebrate and announce it loudly.

Dealers of all other brands in the entire auto trade market were attracted and stunned by this situation.

Of course, the one who suffered the greatest impact was definitely Wang Yongshun.

Wang Yongshun felt unwell at the moment.

He never thought that the person who came out of his store would sign the contract immediately when he arrived at the Hongqi exhibition hall?

Moreover, who are these people who signed the contract?

Moreover, judging from what the people in the Hongqi exhibition hall were saying, those people didn’t buy cheap ones?
The most expensive model, H9, is priced close to one million?!
This was something Wang Yongshun couldn't imagine.

Heavy snow fell all morning.

It was around one o'clock in the afternoon when the snow finally stopped.

Everyone in the market was mobilized to shovel snow.

It only took a little over an hour to clear the snow cleanly.

Of course, snowplows were used directly on the road to clear the snow, and the speed was very fast.

Li Moyan booked out 10 cars in the morning, and he was already very satisfied. In the afternoon, the winter snow had just stopped, and he didn't have much hope. But what he didn't expect was that customers arrived at the store at 2: in the afternoon, and it can be said that the store was packed with customers.

His store received a total of 23 reservations on that day, with an average price of more than 37 yuan.

Wang Yongshun's imported Mercedes-Benz showroom didn't make a single order the entire day. He could only watch helplessly as the Hongqi brand showroom continued to sign orders. He was almost dying of jealousy.

Wang Yongshun certainly did not sit idly by. He hoped to intercept the customer flow and persuade consumers who had subscribed to Hongqi to buy Mercedes-Benz instead.

In order to grab the order, he even lowered the price of Mercedes-Benz C to 30.

However, even if he lowered the price by 30, no one bought it...
