Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

"Xu, what will the final price of this car be if it goes on the market? What is the approximate R&D cost of this car? How long will it take for this car to be officially launched?"

In the car factory, Salman couldn't help asking after learning about the car model Xu Huasheng brought out.

"Your Highness, the R&D cost of this car will be around $1.5 billion, and the R&D cycle will be two years. The final price of the car will not be low, and may even exceed $1 million. The cost of this car is too high. The technology is the most advanced technology, and many things are handmade, such as the wood grain panels inside. Just one panel requires a worker to hand-make it for two months..."

Xu Huasheng began to introduce many special features of this car. Many things need to be customized by hand. The several wooden panels used inside the car are completely made according to the lacquerware techniques of ancient Chinese court supplies. The materials are expensive and the techniques are complicated, but after they are made, they will not deform or discolor for hundreds of years.

Moreover, many of the accessories in the car are made of precious jade or even jadeite, which is very expensive. In terms of luxury, who has played with the Chinese ancestors? Now Xu Huasheng put these things on the car, using this method to increase the car's style and luxury.

"Your Highness, the complex craftsmanship and price of this car are destined to not be sold on a large scale, so the R&D cost per car is very high. But I can guarantee that after this car comes out, all the top luxury cars on the market will have to look up to it. This car will be a benchmark for super luxury brand models. As for the technology and configuration of this car, it will not be outdated even if it is not replaced for 20 years. This car will become a symbol of status..."

Xu Huasheng said confidently. This car is definitely a benchmark for all cars of this era. It is a benchmark for technology, a benchmark for design, a benchmark for luxury, and of course a benchmark for price.

The price is 1 million US dollars, which is a sky-high price. You should know that the top luxury car Rolls-Royce is only sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars overseas.

There are only a handful of cars that cost more than one million US dollars, and only a few special top supercars dare to set such a price. But those cars only produce a few or even one of each type. But now this luxury car is a mass-produced model. It is on the market. Only the rich people in the Middle East can buy many of them.

"Your Highness, if you still think it is not luxurious enough, you can launch an extended version in the future, which will be several dozen centimeters longer. In this way, the rear space will be larger and more luxurious. Of course, the price will be more expensive..."

Xu Huasheng continued, which made Salman laugh happily.

"Xu, we want this car. It doesn't matter if it is more expensive, as long as it is luxurious enough. The extended version can also be launched at the same time. Money is a small problem. If it is not enough, we will add more."

Salman said directly. Money is a small problem. 1.5 billion US dollars is nothing. If the Saudi Royal Automobile Company has this brand and this model, it will be very face-saving. This is Saudi Arabia's top domestic luxury car. It will be very face-saving to say it out.

At that time, the Saudi royal family will directly give a few cars to other royal families. It feels comfortable to spend money.

"Your Highness, there is another problem. Even if this car is developed, I am afraid you can only import the whole car from our Shanhai Automobile in a short period of time. The technology of this car is very high, the parts are very difficult, and even the assembly process requires very high requirements..."

Xu Huasheng looked at Salman and said that Saudi Arabia could not produce this car. It can't even be assembled. The system inside is too complicated and the assembly difficulty is very high. The workers in the Saudi factory may not be able to complete the assembly.

Besides, even if the workers in the Saudi Royal Automobile Factory can assemble it, Xu Huasheng doesn't want them to assemble it. The production process of this top luxury car will not be taught casually by Shanhai Automobile Group.

At the same time, if this car is mass-produced, the production of this model can allow Shanhai Automobile to cultivate many high-end workers with top craftsmanship. European and American super luxury likes to use handwork to promote the luxury attributes of super luxury cars. Shanhai Automobile can also do this trick, and it can play better.

Once those top luxury goods in China become extravagant, they are inhumane. A simple car speaker cover can be made into a top work of art, which is a premium. At that time, all these things can be displayed with this car.

Xu Huasheng also hopes to promote the development of Chinese intangible culture through top luxury cars, so that many crafts left by our ancestors can be carried forward in another way.

If you can put an umbrella in the door of a Rolls-Royce, then this car can also have an umbrella in the door, and this umbrella can be made of top-grade handmade umbrellas made with traditional Chinese craftsmanship, which is better and more valuable than the crafts made by Rolls-Royce.

"Xu, can the assembly plant be placed in Saudi Arabia?All of your engineers can be sent here, and we will pay their salaries. We will never treat them unfairly. We will pay for all the equipment and the factory management can also be handed over to you. We just hope that this car is made in Saudi Arabia..."

Salman looked at Xu Huasheng and said, Xu Huasheng thought about it carefully and finally nodded and accepted the suggestion. He could understand the intention of Salman's request. After all, Saudi Arabia's top luxury cars are made in China, which is not very pleasant to say.

After inspecting the car factory, Xu Li and Salman returned to Riyadh again.

Tonight at 8:30, the launch of the Huasheng brand will be held in Riyadh. These launches will release a lot of things, and tomorrow these products will be sold in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Iraq, Turkey and many other countries.

As night fell, many people in the Middle East also waited in front of the TV to watch the launch.

This launch has been promoted for a long time, and now people in the Middle East are very aware of the Huasheng brand. After all, in the Middle East, Huasheng is the only brand that sells mobile phones. So far, there is no second mobile phone brand.

Although Nokia Nokia also has mobile phones, but Nokia's mobile phones are now only sold in Europe and are not sold in the Middle East at all.

During this period, Huasheng not only sells mobile phones, but also starts to build its own direct stores in the Middle East, bringing many high-end products to the Middle East.

Therefore, consumers in the Middle East are very much looking forward to Huasheng's new products, and look forward to Huasheng's brand bringing different new products.

At 8:30 in the evening, many media in the Middle East were invited to live broadcast this press conference.

"Hi, everyone, I am Xu Huasheng, President of Huasheng Group, and I am very happy to meet you here..."

Xu Huasheng appeared on the stage and greeted everyone in authentic Arabic. This proficient Arabic made the people in the Middle East feel familiar and comfortable. Look at how much the president of Huasheng respects them, and directly uses proficient Arabic to hold a press conference. Compared with some brands that don't even want to use Arabic instructions, the Huasheng brand does respect consumers in the Arab world.
