Chapter 212: The Moon Is Not Necessarily Rounder in Foreign Countries

What does it feel like to be defeated on your own turf?

The Germans present finally got a taste of it.

Especially since the one who broke the Nürburgring lap record myth was a pure gasoline-powered supercar made in China.

If it had been a new energy pure electric sports car like the NIO EP9 that broke the original TOP1 record held by Porsche, perhaps they could have found a way to save face.

They could have talked about embracing new technologies and the future mainstream trend of electric vehicles to salvage some dignity.

However, the gasoline car domain has always been an area where European, American, Japanese, and Korean automakers self-proclaimed their dominance.

For century-old car companies that have developed in this field for hundreds of years to be easily surpassed by Chinese latecomers is as stimulating as being slapped in the face.

Of course, some were worried, while others were happy.

When Zotye ZT700 created a miracle at the Nürburgring, as the news from the front was continuously transmitted back by car reviewers like Wang Jake, the domestic automotive media circle exploded!

This is the famous racetrack mecca, the dream belief of countless car enthusiasts and racing fans.

As a result, a strange supercar from Zotye unexpectedly defeated everyone.

That heaven-defying record of 5 minutes and 11.21 seconds was like a student in a village suddenly being admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University as the top scorer in the country, directly dominating the hot search lists of car-related APPs such as Autohome and Dongchedi.

Car friends and fans were spreading the news everywhere.

Even the Douyin hot search list, as well as social platforms such as Weibo, Xiaohongshu, and Hupu, began to be flooded with various posts as soon as the news was confirmed.

Of course, there were also some cynical and sarcastic public intellectuals who didn't quite believe it, thinking that the news was fake and that it must be a publicity stunt by the car company.

"It's fake, right!"

"Today is not April Fool's Day, fake at a glance!"

"With Zotye's poor technical foundation, even if it is acquired by a large enterprise, it can easily break the Nürburgring TOP1? (Impossible, absolutely impossible)"

"It must be fake, waiting for foreign brands to officially announce the slap in the face. (Laugh to death)"

"Don't hype unverified news, engaging in mental victories every day, what does it have to do with our monthly salary of 3000?"

In the eyes of the pro-West crowd, even if foreign brands sell domestically reduced industrial waste like Nissan Sylphy and Toyota Corolla at high prices, they are still praised.

The distrust of domestic new energy vehicles or domestic car brands is even more prevalent in the comment sections of the internet.

Therefore, when Zotye's breaking of the Nürburgring track record was transmitted back to the domestic car circle, there were even more disputes about this 'fake news'.

Many car owners who already drive domestic cars, even if they refute and confront in the comment section, will still be subjected to widespread ridicule.

This is also the current situation on domestic social platforms, with 1.6 billion dog food, LGBT, feminists, spiritual foreigners, and other opinions intertwined and filled everywhere.

However, this information cocoon-style debate was soon broken by an unexpected big shot!

Because when Zotye ZT700 broke the Nürburgring lap record myth, Lei Bu, the head of Xiaomi, excitedly filmed the live situation and posted it on his Weibo account.

He also attached a heartfelt evaluation: "Today is a milestone in the Chinese automotive industry! Witnessing Zotye ZT700 win the first historical track record in the Nürburgring, the excitement in my heart is beyond words! The Nürburgring TOP1 record being taken by a domestic car proves that the efforts of Chinese car companies have not been in vain! Zotye's success has also given Xiaomi Auto a great inspiration! Congratulations, President Jue @Jue (sprinkling flowers)"

As soon as Lei Bu's Weibo was posted, the entire hot search exploded.

Those traitors who were shouting to wait for the slap in the face were now being slapped hard in the face.

They can sarcastically confront normal domestic netizens who are also eating melons, but in front of the speech of a big shot like Lei Bu.

That sense of superiority inherent in the 'foreign moon is rounder' was instantly wiped out.

You know, Lei Bu's Xiaomi products are sold at home and abroad, and since 2017, Xiaomi's annual revenue has exceeded 100 billion RMB.

In recent years, it has continued to exert its strength and increase its growth. Since the launch of Xiaomi SU7, the revenue of Xiaomi Group has almost reached 100 billion RMB per quarter, and the number of employees has exceeded 40,000.

The personal confirmation of the boss of such a Fortune Global 500 company is much more reliable than the rumors of those car reviewers and car circles.

Therefore, the direction of Weibo's cesspool area immediately began to turn around, catering to the general trend to start positive publicity, and also began to mobilize manpower and material resources to deeply investigate the details of Zotye Auto's ZT700 model.

Those in the comment section who kept praising joint venture brands were overwhelmed by excited consumers supporting domestic cars after Lei Bu posted the update.

"Aren't foreign car companies very awesome? (Dog head)"

"The fastest lap time at the Nürburgring has been broken by Zotye, let foreign car companies surpass it quickly! (Husky sticking out its tongue .jpg)"

"See clearly, it's a gasoline supercar that broke the record! I want to see who dares to BB that domestic car engines are not good (I'll stuff your mouth with slippers)"

"Zotye breaking the racing record dominated by foreign car companies is a bit unbelievable in itself, and the impact of this story reminds me of the former German conscience sewer oil paper bag, and the ballpoint pen tip ball of Japan (I can't do it, I have to read a few more Yilin magazines to calm my nerves)"

"The spiritual colonizers are probably studying how many imported parts are on the Zotye ZT700! (Laugh to death)"

Various flowers bloomed in the comment section.

Seeing Lei Bu supporting him so much, Chen Jue took advantage of the hot search explosion and pulled the other party and the Zotye ZT700, which had just come off the track, to take a group photo, and added a sentence 'This car is 100% purely domestic, including the driver (dog head)' and posted it on his update.

Originally, Chen Jue's influence on the Internet was growing day by day, and the number of fans also exceeded 8 million.

After this Nürburgring lap record heat, the number of fans across the entire network broke through the ten million level overnight.

After all, on domestic social platforms, the positive energy events of breaking the foreign-dominated status and promoting national prestige are most popular.

Not only does the platform give traffic, but even sand sculpture netizens like to follow and watch.

Especially when they saw the group photo of Chen Jue and Lei Bu, the fans in the comment section were calling out one by one: "Lei Bu is promising, he can actually interact with President Jue (upside down)"

"Is this the social circle of real bigwigs?"

"Magic Cube Group is rising too fast, it can be on par with Xiaomi (awesome)"

The Internet was noisy and soaring, and various related terms such as Zotye Auto, ZT700 Nürburgring lap time, Magic Cube Group Chen Jue, and Nürburgring's fastest racer Tie Yi's data frequently topped the hot search lists.

Even the mainstream news programs interspersed this brief news message at 19:00 on this evening.

After all, the export of domestic new energy vehicles and breaking the monopoly of foreign car companies is already the general trend.

It is right to write a big book about winning the opponent with hard power and real swords and guns on their territory.

Even the old car owners of Zotye Auto enjoyed an unprecedented respect on this day.

Whether driving to refuel, wash the car, or in the shopping mall parking lot.

As long as there are ordinary people who pay attention to the heat of the car circle, after seeing Zotye's Z logo offline, they will inevitably give a thumbs up and praise: "Zotye is awesome!"

......

At the same time.

Far away in Germany, Chen Jue, after experiencing the speed and passion of the Nürburgring racing mecca, and Xiaomi's Lei Bu went to the Nürburgring restaurant together to eat and communicate.

"President Lei, I think the foreign drivers your Xiaomi team hired are not good! They didn't even run within 7 minutes after running all morning, why not cooperate?" Chen Jue said meaningfully.

"Cooperation? I don't know how to cooperate?" Lei Bu's expression moved.

Chen Jue smiled slightly: "Doesn't Xiaomi SU7 Ultra need a creative and sensational result to do market marketing? It's very simple, I'll let Tie Yi help you brush the lap time, with your company's vehicle performance, it should be no problem to run into the top ten of the TOP list."

Lei Bu was immediately interested when he heard this.

After witnessing the domestic sensation caused by Zotye ZT700 winning the first Nürburgring lap time, Lei Bu actually wanted to ask Chen Jue for help more than once.

But after all, he is a 50-year-old business tycoon, and he can't bring himself to ask for help and lower his status.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to eat and communicate together, Chen Jue took the initiative to bring up cooperation, and Lei Bu was naturally happy to have a step down: "If it is just a simple exchange of drivers, I personally can offer Mr. Tie Yi a hiring fee of 5 million. But I see that President Jue seems to have different cooperation ideas? Or rather, what does President Jue want to get from our Xiaomi?"

As the first generation of entrepreneurs in China's Internet, a big shot as famous as the two Mas and Ding Liu, Lei Bu easily saw through the intentions of Chen Jue, a young man.

"Money is meaningless to me, I don't lack money. Tie Yi is my personal assistant and driver, and his actions are all up to me. It's useless even if President Lei privately buys him for 100 million." Chen Jue shrugged his shoulders when he saw this, and simply did not hide it, taking this opportunity to open the door and see the mountain: "What I want is actually to ask President Lei to open a small back door for our Magic Cube Group and let our products join Xiaomi's smart system ecosystem!"
