Chapter 1266 Convincing the Organizing Committee

Surrounding the Huateng D1 in front of them, the members of the organizing committee curiously looked at it inside and out...

"There's an electric sliding door at the back? It's a bit strange."

"It's strange, but don't tell me. This design seems a bit weird at first glance, but after thinking about it again, you can see that it has been carefully thought out."

"It makes sense. If you think about it carefully, it's true. This side sliding door is much more convenient to get into the car than the traditional outward opening door."

"Speaking of which, this car doesn't look big, but the space in the back is really big. How do you do it?"

"Don't you understand? Look at the front of the car, it's only so big. Otherwise, do you think the 2-meter wheelbase is for nothing?"

…………

Facing this Huateng D1, which is somewhat "deviant" in design, everyone is amazed, but they have to admit that Huateng Industrial Group really put a lot of thought into designing this car. At first glance, it seems a bit strange, but after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this design is indeed more reasonable. Let’s talk about the single-sided electric sliding door on the right rear side. At first glance, it makes people think that the design of this car is very weird. It's asymmetrical, but if I think about it again, it is indeed more convenient to use a side sliding door in this position.

Commissioner Wang Song was more curious about the price of this car. He asked Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, how much does this car cost?"

"Two million."

When saying this, Zhang Qihang himself felt a little guilty.

Sure enough, when he heard Zhang Qihang's answer, Wang Song even thought that he had heard it wrong, and said in surprise: "How much?!"

"36," after saying that, Zhang Qihang faced Commissioner Wang Song who was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out. Zhang Qihang smiled bitterly and said: "Commissioner Wang, I know this price is quite scary. It is even more elegant and elegant than ours. It’s more expensive than the Audi A6L, but there’s really nothing we can do about it. To be honest, we don’t make any money at this price.”

This answer was obviously unsatisfactory to Wang Song. He frowned and looked at Zhang Qihang: "How is that possible? Mr. Zhang, I am also from the industrial system. I don't know anything about how to calculate the cost of a car. I I understand what Lu Province means, and I am very happy to provide you with a stage to showcase yourself, but you can’t treat our organizing committee as a fool, right?”

Hearing this, Zhang Qihang was happy: "Commissioner Wang, it's best if you understand cost accounting, otherwise I'd be really worried that I wouldn't be able to explain it to you."

Ok?
Zhang Qihang's words surprised Wang Song: What's going on?Can Zhang Qihang still fulfill his claim of “36”?Nodding slowly, Wang Song said, "You tell me, and I'll listen."

"The first thing is the battery," Zhang Qihang said, "Our car uses lithium batteries."

"Are you using lithium batteries?" Commissioner Wang Song frowned upon hearing this: "This thing is not cheap."

"Not only is it not cheap, it's extremely expensive!"

Zhang Qihang said with a wry smile: "The price of lithium batteries on the market now is about 5000 yuan per kilowatt-hour. The battery pack capacity of our Huateng D1 is 60 kilowatt-hours, and it is different from the consumer-grade ones used in notebooks and mobile phones. For batteries, we still use more expensive and safer power lithium iron phosphate batteries."

60 kWh?
That's 60 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

At this time, not only member Wang Song, but other members of the organizing committee were also shocked: "Mr. Zhang, do you mean that the price of this battery alone is 30?"

The price of the whole vehicle is only 36, but the price of the battery pack alone is 30?
This is a bit unreasonable, right?
Zhang Qihang also knew what the committee members’ doubts were, and explained: “The battery pack is jointly produced by Huateng Group and Yadi Group, and is supplied to us at cost price, but even so, the price of the entire battery pack is about the same. 25."

So this is ah……

The committee members were relieved: the price of the battery pack is 25, and the price of other body parts, electric motors and other various spare parts is about 11... If you calculate it like this, it is correct.

Commissioner Wang Song also nodded: "If this is the case, then the price of 36 yuan is indeed not acceptable. It is not impossible for the organizing committee to give you some support, but Mr. Zhang, our organizing committee has no problem with purchasing. But can the market accept such an expensive price?”

Committee member Wang Song’s words are on point. All members of the organizing committee are also curious about this question: Yes, your Huateng Industrial Group has developed an electric car. This is indeed gratifying. The organizing committee will give you a The stage for display or even purchasing a batch are not problems, but how many people can afford such an expensive price?

Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Commissioner Wang, for reminding me. We have indeed considered this issue."

"Oh? Mr. Zhang, can you tell me more carefully?"

Hearing Zhang Qihang say that they had considered it, all the committee members became interested.

Of course, what everyone is interested in is not that Huateng Industrial Group has considered these issues. As the research and development unit of this Huateng D1 pure electric vehicle, they must understand that the market acceptance of such an expensive car is relatively low, so the question is Well, what on earth were they thinking?And why do you think they can build the market?
"Of course there is no problem," Zhang Qihang said: "First of all, when a product is first launched, because the related industries have not yet formed a scale, the cost will naturally remain high. If you want to reduce costs, the best way is to improve the entire industry. scale and automation level.

Specific to electric vehicles and lithium batteries for electric vehicles, although the cost is very high at this stage, the country has always been strongly supporting the development of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. We at Huateng Group are willing to open up technology and promote pure electric vehicles. As well as the development and popularization of hybrid vehicles in China, which will promote the expansion of the lithium battery industry and reduce battery costs;
Secondly, we are preparing to propose to the country as an industry representative at next year’s Two Sessions to accelerate the cultivation and encouragement of the development of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, and provide specific incentives, such as purchase tax exemptions, financial subsidies and even grants to related companies. Certain targeted tax reduction and exemption measures, in short, use various measures to reduce vehicle prices and allow the entire related industry to develop faster and achieve scale.

When the market is cultivated and the scale increases, the cost of the product will naturally come down."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qihang said confidently: "In 10 years, I think as long as the country gives sufficient support, pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles will be able to initially form a scale and gain initial recognition from consumers in about 10 years." ”

Of course, there are no ordinary people who can be members of the Olympic Organizing Committee. After hearing what Zhang Qihang said, everyone thought about it and felt that if they really follow what Zhang Qihang said, it would be about the same in about 10 years. As for the support of the country... haha , if there is no higher-ups to say hello, why would their Huateng D1 pure electric car from Huateng Group jump in the queue?
There are some things that everyone actually understands tacitly.

A committee member interrupted and asked: "Mr. Zhang, you just mentioned the power lithium battery. What is the biggest difference between this power lithium battery and ordinary lithium batteries?"

Zhang Qihang thought for a while and explained: "Ordinary consumer-grade lithium batteries are prone to fire or even explosion when impacted by external forces or charged and discharged with high current, but this situation is absolutely not allowed to occur in Huateng D1. The car suddenly caught fire while it was being driven. It caught fire at the slightest touch. What was going on?

Therefore, as a vehicle, the first thing Huateng D1 has to do is to ensure the safety of the passengers in the car as much as possible. We cannot let everyone sit on a time bomb that may explode at any time. At this stage, only the more expensive ones Only power-type lithium iron phosphate batteries can prevent rapid explosion and fire when hit.

Safety, this is the biggest difference between power lithium batteries and ordinary lithium batteries. "

That's it!

After Zhang Qihang explained it this way, everyone understood: You are right, safety must indeed come first.

The committee members who finally solved their doubts greeted each other with smiles: "Since everyone has seen the car, why not go up and try it?"

"Yes, go up and try."

"This is the first time I've seen such a unique car, why don't you give it a try?"

"Not to mention, just because of this special rear door, I want to buy one. It's so convenient for daily transportation, picking up and dropping off my grandson, etc."

"I'm planning to buy one for my daughter-in-law, but I don't know if he likes it..."

The committee members laughed and discussed while getting into the car separately.

After a test drive, everyone was very satisfied!

The overall comfort of the car is good and the space is very spacious. As long as these two points are met, it is enough to be used as a reception car for athletes by the organizing committee, not to mention that there is a special greeting on it.

What's even more rare is that Huateng Industrial Group has really paid attention to this car. The most important thing is that in addition to the air outlets of the armrest box at the rear of the car, there are actually two air outlets on the B-pillars on both sides. As a result, the entire rear row of passengers actually has as many as four outlets available, and the seats are made of cloth, which directly maximizes the comfort and space of the rear row.

Commissioner Wang Song held Zhang Qihang's hand tightly: "Mr. Zhang, your car is really good. Don't worry, we will complete the relevant testing work as soon as possible. As long as there are no problems with the car, we will hold a press conference as soon as possible. "

Zhang Qihang also held Commissioner Wang Song's hand tightly and thanked him: "Thank you Commissioner Wang for your support of our work. If you or anyone else has any questions or things you don't understand about this car, please feel free to call me at any time." .”

"Haha... It's settled!" Wang Song nodded repeatedly with a smile, and at the same time warned: "When Mr. Zhang comes to the capital, you must remember to call me and let's have a drink."

Zhang Qihang nodded: "Definitely."

Recently, he hasn't heard any news about Zhang Qihang. Although he doesn't know what this guy has done, he knows that this guy seems to have gained the favor of the elders. He mentioned Zhang Qihang in his speech several times. Anyone who is not a fool knows what the name means. In the past, this would have been called "Jane in the Emperor's Heart"!

If you don’t talk about hugging someone’s thighs and don’t make friends with such people, what kind of people do you plan to make friends with?

....................................

The Olympic Games Organizing Committee suddenly announced a major piece of news on its official website: the organizing committee will introduce new strategic partners as soon as possible, and relevant information will be held at a press conference a week later.

As soon as the news came out, it instantly detonated the entire media!
From the preparation to the present, the main preparatory work for the Olympic Games has been almost completed, and the relevant sponsors at all levels have been determined long ago. When the Olympic Games will officially start in less than a year, the organizing committee suddenly said: Everyone knows what it means to introduce new strategic partners.

All of a sudden, countless media calls came into the organizing committee, and the answer was without exception, "I'm sorry, I have no comment at the moment. If you are interested in this matter, you and your media can contact us." Sign up for the upcoming press conference."

Faced with this formulaic answer, although all media outlets were furious, they could only hold their anger in their stomachs: Who let this person be the Olympic Organizing Committee?

But everyone is not a fool, and immediately thought of asking for information from other channels: Since the Olympic Games Organizing Committee and Huateng Industrial Group jointly held a press conference, it would be easy to handle. Your organizing committee is big and impressive, so let's go Have you gone to the head office of Huateng Industrial Group?

Unfortunately, Huateng Industrial Group's response made these media depressed again: Huateng Industrial Group's answer was also "no comment." Even if some media found senior executives who were familiar with Huateng Group, the other party also said helplessly: "Brother, I'm not sorry that I won't help you. It's because the confidentiality level of this matter is too high within our group. I only know that there is such a thing, but what is going on, I really don't know, so you just Don't embarrass me, and having said that, even if I know something about something of this level, do you think I dare to tell anyone about it? We are friends, and you can't let me ruin your job, right?"

As soon as these words came out, all the media could only stare: Yes, everyone is a friend, but if you ruined my job just to find out the news, then it is your fault.

There's nothing left to do. In that case, just wait for the press conference.

A week later, the press conference was officially held. In front of many media, the Olympic Organizing Committee announced that after careful consideration, the organizing committee decided to introduce Huateng Industrial Group to officially become a strategic partner of the 08 Olympic Games. In addition to sponsorship fees, 200 Huateng D1 pure electric vehicles will be provided for daily travel of athletes and coaches during the Olympic Games.

As soon as the news came out, the media exploded. Everyone grabbed the core of the press conference: Huateng D1 pure electric car!When did Huateng Industrial Group come up with such a thing?
