My Age of Investment

  Chapter 1604 Pull up the fishing rod

On the second day after the car launch conference, the aftertaste was still there. An article titled "Why Fuxing Cars Are So Expensive" was published on Weibo by Dr. Drunken Qingniu, a well-known Internet and technology strategy consulting expert. Send this so-called "the most expensive domestic car in history" to the "cusp of the storm".

   "A 500,000 tram, would you buy it?"

   "What is the real value of a 500,000 domestic car?"

   "A press conference, costing over 100 million?"

  …

   "Whether behind this is a show of spending huge sums of money, or a gorgeous counterattack of domestically-produced cars, we don't know the specific answer yet, but I believe sales will tell everything."

  After reading the article, Xia Jingxing smiled slightly, looked away from the phone screen, looked at the Fuxing Motor executives sitting around him, and said calmly, "Have you read all the articles by Drunken Qingniu?"

   "Look, it's just nonsense, we can definitely send him a lawyer's letter."

   "Yes, this guy is too arrogant. He has made trouble with our Fuxing Industrial Group several times. From mobile phones to tablet computers to cars, there is no product that he has not sprayed."

   "Mr. Xia, it's time for Weibo to take care of this kind of person. They are simply a social cancer."

  …

Different from the yelling and shouting of the executives, Xia Jingxing looked very calm, waved his hand and said, "Let him talk! After all, the mouth grows on his body, so I have to sew it on him. It’s time for someone to criticize us for being too domineering and manipulating public opinion.”

   "Then just watch him bully us like this?" Some executives still said angrily.

   "Okay, don't worry about it, didn't that guy say it? Sales will tell everything.

   Fuxing mobile phone and Fuxing Tablet have been sprayed countless times by him, will it affect our sales to break one million or ten million? "

Speaking of this, Xia Jingxing raised the phone with a smile, pointed the screen at the people around him, and said while sliding his finger: "You all read the comments, except for some brainless black fans, most of the netizens are still on our side of.

  Drunken Qingniu has almost become a joke. Among his 10 million fans, at least 9 million people have made a special trip to appreciate the scene of his car crash.

  The harder he blackmails us, the more people will support us. "

  Some executives showed a smile when they heard this, and said with a chuckle: "That's right, Drunk Qingniu's mobile phone device on Weibo shows an iPhone, but under his comment section, Qing Yishui shows a revival phone.

   I have to say, it's too ironic, these people are his die-hard fans. "

  Hearing this, the others laughed along with them, not paying much attention to the slander and slander of Drunken Green Bull.

  Xia Jingxing looked down at the phone, and secretly smiled inwardly. I have to say, it's really helpful to cultivate an old friend like Drunken Qingniu!

  At least his words and deeds are under his control.

   It’s also interesting to say, spending money to find someone to hack yourself, what kind of fairy operation is this?

  If Xia Jingxing were to sum it up by himself, it would be in four words - "reverse marketing".

   Whenever the revival mobile phone is about to be released, Drunk Blue Bull will always jump out and sing the opposite, cite some arguments, and then predict a wave of sales.

   Then, he was severely slapped in the face!

However, every time he was slapped in the face, his mouth was still very hard, and he listed a set of principles. For example, any chip that cannot be fully localized and replaced is easy to get stuck, and it is easy to cause problems due to the breakdown of geopolitical relations. cut off...

   All these have brought countless joys to countless netizens!

  They just like drunken green cows running trains and rebellious.

Of course, Dr. Drunk Qingniu's repeated overturns were only due to the rejuvenation of the industry. It is still very effective in predicting other companies. For example, he successfully predicted the unacceptable conditions of Gaopeng. A sudden rise...

  So this also kept his reputation from falling into the dust, and he has successfully restored his honor many times.

  Similarly, some of his behaviors also made netizens understand an important truth—you must buy in reverse.

  The more Drunken Qingniu said that the products of Fuxing Industry cannot be bought, the more worth buying them.

  Skipping this topic, Xia Jingxing and the executives discussed a series of important arrangements about car pre-sales and the opening of the flagship store, and then hurriedly ended the meeting.

  Leaving the conference room, Xia Jingxing met with Peter Rawlinson alone in the chairman's office.

   "Daren, Fuxing Motors has done a good job. The achievements in just two or three years are completely worth the efforts of Tesla in seven or eight years."

  Xia Jingxing didn't know whether Rawlinson was praising himself or satirizing himself. Why did he feel like he was criticizing me for copying Tesla?

   "Fuxing Automobile is different from Tesla, whether it is the external design or the internal performance indicators."

  Xia Jingxing admits that Fuxing Motor has learned from Tesla's successful experience in the development process, thus avoiding many detours, but it is really not to the point of plagiarism, at most it is the relationship between Wisdom Fruit and Fuxing mobile phone.

  Peter Rawlinson smiled and waved his hands, "Daren, you misunderstood, I really appreciate the company Fuxing Motors.

  I thought Tesla’s people were working hard enough, but what I didn’t expect was that compared with your employees, their efficiency is still too low.

  In such a short period of time, you have designed a car that surpasses the Model S in all performance indicators, and also integrates so many creative designs. I personally admire this.

  I now have a taste of what you call "China's speed" and "China's advantage".

  Based on the Chinese market, I believe that Fuxing Motor will definitely develop into a top pure electric vehicle company in the future. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said: "Compared with American companies, we lack technology and background, the only thing we don't lack is the same ambition to become bigger and stronger.

  In the past two or three years, employees have worked day and night, hoping that one day they can catch up with and surpass Tesla. "

   "Haha, it's Straubel and the others who should be in a hurry now."

  Peter Rawlinson laughed a few times, and then said: "I have a small suggestion here."

"Please say."

   "I think the brand appeal of Fuxing Automobile, or Chinese automobiles, is still a bit weak. How about building a pure electric sports car to create momentum?"

  Xia Jingxing frowned slightly, "I understand what you mean, build a sports car to support the appearance, go to foreign exhibitions, and score on the track.

  However, selling is not a small challenge!

  And with the technology we currently have, I am afraid that it is somewhat beyond our capabilities. "

  In a short period of time, Xia Jingxing was a little bit unsure about opening up the mid-to-high-end car market where Fuxing F1 was positioned, let alone aiming at the real high-end and ultra-luxury car market.

   As the old saying goes, if you take too many steps, you will easily pull your crotch.

   "As long as the car design is cool enough and the performance is wild enough, sales are not a big problem.

  Any car brand that wants to successfully gain a foothold in the market cannot avoid this hurdle. "

  Peter Rawlinson never gave up his sports car dream deep in his heart, so he urged Xia Jingxing to build a sports car.

   As for Xia Jingxing, he didn't care about the loss of money, but was mainly worried about not having enough strength to ruin his own brand.

  But after thinking about it seriously, he felt that Rawlinson's suggestion was somewhat reasonable.

  Whether it is Tesla or Weilai, there is a sports car that looks awesome to support the scene.

   Fuxing Automobile wants to establish a strong style, it seems that it can't be too real, it must be as strong as it should be.

   "Are you going to work on this car?"

  Hearing this, Peter Rawlinson said in surprise: "Do you agree?"

   "If you do it yourself and guarantee that the performance will completely crush the Roadster, I can agree."

  Peter Rawlinson rubbed his hands together and said excitedly: "Great, trust me, I promise I won't let you down."

   "Okay, then it's settled, you join Fuxing Automobile as soon as possible, and I will leave other things to me."

   After chatting for a few more words, and dismissing Peter Rawlinson, whose face was beginning to glow, Xia Jingxing called Straubel.

   "Congratulations, Darren, on another successful product launch."

   "Thanks, what's their reaction?"

   "As you expected, the shareholders are now very angry and feel that you are deceiving them."

  Hearing this, Xia Jingxing said cheerfully, "Since when did I deceive them? What did I deceive them about? Every day, it's nothing but trouble."

   “Well, I’m going to confess to you that they thought the revival of the F1 would be a huge hit to the Model S and sales, because your car looks really good.”

   "The revived F1 can't be sold in the United States now."

   "The future is uncertain! In short, the threat is great."

  Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "Tell them, relax, the approval of the joint venture company will come soon.

  I can give them whatever they want.

  But the premise is, don't make trouble for me. "

   "I will convey this good news in time, and I believe they will also understand your painstaking efforts."

   After finishing speaking, Strabel suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Have you noticed that Tesla's stock price has changed again today, can we pull up the fishing rod?"
