Chapter 1362 A New Product Launch: Part

Wolfsburg, Otter, Honda, GM...

As the news spread, almost all first-tier joint venture automakers began to turn their attention to Huateng Industrial Group. While they were discussing how to respond, they also began to pay close attention to the product launch conference that was about to be held.

Soon, the day arrived. Looking at Tian Tian in front of him, Zhang Qihang smiled and said, "How is it? Are you nervous?"

"not nervous!"

Tian Tian's expression did not show any nervousness, but rather excitement and anticipation: "Today is the day we announce our arrival to world-class auto giants such as Honda, Otter, and Ford, and the day we declare that we are qualified to sit on equal footing with them.

Mr. Zhang, to be honest, whenever I think of this, I don’t feel nervous at all. Instead, I feel full of anticipation! I really hope I can see the expressions on the faces of those car owners who were so high up before.”

Zhang Qihang was very happy with Tian Tian's reaction. He patted Tian Tian on the shoulder and said, "Very good, keep it up! Tell them that not only are we here, but we're also sitting at the table."

Tian Tian didn't say anything, but nodded vigorously.

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

"Hello, friends from the media and other industries. I am Zhang Qihang. I believe you all know me," Zhang Qihang took the stage first. Under the gaze of countless eyes and cameras, he smiled and said calmly, "First of all, let me tell you something. According to past practice, I am the one who will launch this kind of product conference, but this product today is a little special, so I invited Ms. Tian Tian, ​​the chief designer of our 'Qilin' engine and also the deputy chief designer of our Huateng Industrial Group Automotive Technology Research Institute, to host the event."

After saying that, Zhang Qihang smiled and made a "please" gesture to the side.

  As soon as Zhang Qihang said this, the media reporters and other people who came with various purposes were stunned: What? Huateng Group's new engine is called Qilin? How can they be so arrogant!

Also, the chief designer of this "Qilin" engine is actually a woman?

This was even more beyond everyone's expectations.

Everyone immediately focused their attention on the woman who was slowly walking out from the side - it can be said that this product launch gave everyone a big shock from the very beginning.

When Tian Tian, ​​with her neat short hair, exquisite glasses and white coat, appeared in front of everyone with the scholarly temperament unique to scientific researchers, she immediately caused a commotion.

"Hello everyone, my name is Tian Tian. As for my identity, our General Manager Zhang has just introduced me, so I won't say more. If you can't remember, just think 'she is the one who works on engines at Huateng Group',"

After Tian Tian came on stage, she briefly introduced herself, and then thanked everyone for coming as usual, and then began to introduce herself: "First of all, please allow me to express my gratitude and welcome to all the media and friendly business representatives who came today on behalf of our Huateng Industrial Group. Thank you all for coming, thank you."

Everyone applauded out of respect.

Before this, the media and other invited guests who came to attend this product launch conference thought that Zhang Qihang should host this press conference, but they never expected that Zhang Qihang was just an introduction, and the protagonist of this press conference turned out to be such a sophisticated and capable woman.

Especially the female reporters at the scene, their eyes lit up: It turns out that the headquarters designer of this new engine of Huateng Group is a woman, so amazing, this sister has brought honor to us women, and I will definitely write a more impressive article about this sister when I go back.

Tian Tian bowed to express her gratitude and continued, "Secondly, please allow me to thank the R&D team of the 'Qilin' engine for their hard work over the past two years. It is your hard work and sweat that made the 'Qilin' engine with the highest thermal efficiency in the world come into being in our hands and in our Huateng Industrial Group! Thank you all for your hard work!"

This time, the applause was particularly enthusiastic.

Accustomed to hearing the two-part "thank the guests, thank the leaders" in previous press conferences, everyone was surprised to hear that the second person to be thanked was the development team, and they also had a better impression of Tian Tian.

"Secondly, I also want to thank our General Manager Zhang for giving me this opportunity to show up in front of everyone," Tian Tian said, then turned to look at Zhang Qihang with a smile: "Okay, General Manager Zhang, you can go down. After all, everyone knows me now." Everyone burst into laughter!

Of course, this was something that Zhang Qihang and Ms. Tian Tian had discussed beforehand, but we have to say that everyone quite liked the fact that this was done at such an important product launch event.

Zhang Qihang also cooperated and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, everyone, our Chief Engineer Tian has started to chase people away, I have to be sensible... OK, the stage will be handed over to Chief Engineer Tian Tian next."

After saying that, Zhang Qihang nodded slightly to Tian Tian, ​​signaling her to cheer up.

"OK, it was just a little joke. In fact, when Mr. Zhang said he wanted to play a joke on everyone, I disagreed." At this point, Tian Tian patted her chest and pretended to be nervous and said, "Everyone knows that this is Mr. Zhang who created our Huateng Group. He is the soul of our Huateng Group!"

No one refuted Tian Tian's words. Even those who disliked Huateng Industrial Group acknowledged Zhang Qihang's influence on Huateng Group. To put it bluntly, in their view, Zhang Qihang and Huateng Group were like spiritual totems.

Tian Tian continued, "But our CEO Zhang said that this is a product launch, not a press conference. All of us here today are friends. Since this is a gathering of friends, we should act like friends and make the atmosphere more relaxed. I listened to what our CEO Zhang said and I plucked up my courage."

At this point, Tian Tian bowed to Zhang Qihang who was leaving: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your understanding, generosity and tolerance. Thank you."

At this moment, warm applause broke out again.

  No matter how everyone views this matter, everyone is still shocked that Zhang Qihang can gain such support and love from his employees!

After all, we are all workers. Who doesn’t want his or her boss or immediate supervisor to be such a kind and understanding person?

"Thank you, everyone. Thank you," Tian Tian thanked again. After the applause died down, she continued, "Next, let me formally introduce the protagonist of today's product launch conference to all my friends: the 'Qilin' engine.

The Kirin engine is the world's first engine with a maximum thermal efficiency of more than 40%, and it is also the world's first engine designed specifically for hybrid vehicles from the beginning. Before the Kirin, all hybrid engines in the world, including some competitors' engines using the Miller cycle or Atkinson cycle, were not designed for hybrid vehicles from the beginning. Instead, they were designed to use the Miller cycle or Atkinson cycle by adjusting the intake and exhaust control strategies of existing engines. "

"Hahaha……"

  The people in the audience burst into laughter!

Although Tian Tian keeps calling them "friendly competitors", in China, who else can be called a "friendly competitor" by Huateng Industrial Group in the field of hybrid vehicles except the oil-stealing otter?

Tian Tian pretended not to hear and continued with a smile: "To prove this point, please allow us to use a competitor as an example again. I will not mention the specific brand and engine model, but only the suffix behind the engine code.

At this friendly competitor, the model suffix of this engine used in pure fuel vehicles is FE, and that used in hybrid vehicles is FEX.

Please don't misunderstand me. I absolutely do not mean to say that it is wrong for our competitors to do so. In fact, our competitors' approach can achieve co-production of engines, greatly reduce engine production costs, and make hybrid models more accessible to consumers.

Of course, the advantage of doing this is that it reduces costs, but the disadvantage is that you can't have both people and engines. The disadvantage of having both is that if you want to take both into account at the same time, you may not be able to do both well.

But we have to say that our friendly friend, their technology and achievements in the field of engines are really amazing." Speaking of this, even Tian Tian applauded this "friendly friend": "Even in such a difficult situation, they still managed to make this engine that takes both ends into consideration score 80 or even 85 points. Thanks to this friendly friend, we know that technology can actually reach this level."

After hearing what Chief Engineer Tian said, the media at the scene and the netizens who were watching the live video on Sohu.com were all shocked.

  We are all fairly well-informed and have attended some manufacturers' press conferences. In these press conferences, which one doesn't step hard on competitors?

It's nothing like the press conference of Huateng Industrial Group, where they politely called their competitors "friendly companies" and kept saying good things about them, saying how difficult it was for them...

  Ms. Tian Tian, ​​are you mistaken?

Today is the new product launch of your Huateng Industrial Group, not that "friendly competitor"'s new product launch. Don't forget that it is Huateng Industrial Group that pays your salary. Which side are you on?

  Only the Chinese and foreign executives of the joint venture car companies such as Northern Oil Otter, Southern Oil Otter, Southern Wolfsburg and Northern Wolfsburg who were also watching the live broadcast in front of the computer, looked at Tian Tian on the stage with a solemn expression: This woman is too amazing! She has won everyone's favor without realizing it!
