After being named by Zhou Fei, Ma Huafu also stood up, looked at the crowd and said, "Then let me talk about the price. Originally, our estimated price of the ES1 was about [-] US dollars. The actual selling price was a full $[-] lower, which we didn't expect."

Ma Huafu paused, and continued, "According to the current US dollar exchange rate, the ES1 car will be converted into RMB, which will be between 35 and 40 yuan, which is almost the same as the price of our Tesla. If you want to use the price advantage to win the competition, the possibility is very small."

After saying this, Ma Huafu looked at Zhou Fei and said that was all he wanted to say.

"Everyone, everyone must have seen that the opponent is not as weak as we imagined. We do not have absolute advantages in technology and price. This has also sounded the alarm for us. In fact, everyone’s starting point is the same, if we are careless, we will be overtaken by our opponents.”

Zhou Fei cleared his throat, looked at everyone and said.

To be honest, after the Mercedes-Benz incident, Zhou Fei really felt a little smug. Fred was taken down, Dafeng Motor was seriously injured, and Mercedes-Benz became the number one in the world. Whose sense of pride am I.

What's more, this is just the beginning, and the real growth period of sales is still to come.

"Notify all production units that the supply of production must be guaranteed during this period. All orders must be picked up by consumers within three days of placing the order!"

"In addition, increase advertising, we want to let people all over the world know that there is such an electric car!" After a pause, he continued.

"Good job, but you still need to be vigilant." Fred walked in without knowing when, and stepped forward and said.

Naturally, he understood what Fred was referring to. Tesla’s release was imminent. After arranging these things, he would watch Tesla’s press conference, because he knew that Zhou Fei and the others must have also paid attention to Nikola’s news. conference.

"Mister got up so early?" said surprised.

"I have been thinking about Tesla's press conference in my heart, and I can't fall asleep." Although he has withdrawn from the front line, Fred still pays close attention to every move of Mercedes-Benz.

"I would like to invite Mr. Fred to watch Tesla's press conference together. I wonder if you have time?" he asked tentatively.After all, Fred has dealt with Feichi Company for so many years, and he still wants to ask him some questions.

Fred nodded, "I booked a flight back at 10:30 in the morning, after watching Tesla's press conference, the time is just about the same."
