my return 2002

Chapter 360
"Mr. Wang, is this someone operating in the background?" A reporter questioned.

Wang Chuanfu laughed when he heard the words: "Of course not. This is an intelligent voice module specially customized by Xingchen Technology for the car-machine system. Through voice recognition, it can control the startup and shutdown of all applications in the system."

"Not only that, but we can also connect the mobile phone with the car through Bluetooth, so as to control and answer calls through voice."

Amidst the exclamations at the scene, Wang Chuanfu started the experiment: "Xiaoxing Xiaoxing, help me open the address book and search for Mr. Shen's phone number."

"Okay, after searching, do you want to call the owner of 138****?"

"call."

"Called for you, please wait."

Sure enough, the phone rang, and Shen Lang also stood up in the crowd, holding up his mobile phone to show everyone that this was also the plot he and Wang Chuanfu designed.

The appearance of Shen Lang directly pushed the atmosphere to a climax. Of course, more people were interested in his personal relationship with Liu Tianxian.

Wang Chuanfu invited: "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, please invite Mr. Shen to come on stage and say a few words."

In order to promote the car-machine system, Shen Lang didn't mind being a mascot, so he walked slowly to the center of the stage.

"As Mr. Wang said just now, Stellar Technology has been committed to the exploration of smart technology life, and mobile phones and cars have become an inseparable part of our daily life, but before that, mobile phones and cars are two completely unrelated products, and what we have to do is to integrate these two products across borders through the star system, so as to bring you a brand new technological experience.”

Shen Lang talked eloquently: "Our Xingchen car-machine system is not just a simple transplant of the mobile phone system to the car, but a system tailored for the car. For example, we have specially designed a A set of panoramic navigation."

"Xiaoxing, Xiaoxing, open Gaode navigation."

"Okay, please wait a moment, Gaode map will guide you."

"Xiaoxing, Xiaoxing, help me navigate Dongmen Pedestrian Street."

"Search Dongmen Pedestrian Street and confirm the navigation. The estimated distance is 8.2 kilometers, and the whole journey takes 21 minutes."

A 3D dynamic map appeared on the background screen, the virtual logo of a car appeared at the starting point, and the end point was also marked on the map.

"Wow~~~ Can you still do this?"

"Isn't this too convenient? The most fearful thing about driving on the road is that you don't know the road. It is easy to get into an accident while navigating while driving. I have been rear-ended more than once because of this."

"Yeah, this function is really convenient. BYD and Xingchen Technology have really put their minds to it this time."

A car owner suddenly asked a question: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Shen, this voice navigation function is really good, but will there be any hidden charges in the future?"

"That's right, it can't be either to become a member or watch an advertisement?"

Over the years, everyone has become very familiar with the routines of the Internet. They know that Internet companies are not doing charity, and the investment in the early stage must be earned back in the later stage.

Wang Chuanfu and Shen Lang looked at each other and smiled, and finally Shen Lang answered: "No, I can make a promise here that AutoNavi will be free to all owners of the star car system, and will never involve any third party advertising business."

"That's great, and it can save a lot of money. This car is worth it."

Many car owners in the venue were moved.

The current auto market is full of chaos, and car navigation has become a common method for Sizidian to raise money. After all, cars have to run around, and car owners cannot know all the road conditions. Moreover, with the process of urbanization in China, many big cities are changing rapidly. Veteran drivers will also encounter various problems, and car navigation has almost become a must.

But in Sizidian, car navigation has become an "optional". Fees and working hours are often charged thousands of dollars from the car owner, which is simply huge profits.

And BYD's newly remodeled F6 not only has a better human-machine experience, but also saves such a large amount of money. It is definitely a good deal for car owners who are struggling and can only buy domestically produced low-end models.

The effect of the press conference was very good. After the end, many car owners went to the stage to experience the above-mentioned Xingchen car machine system in person, and found that it was the same as Wang Chuanfu's demonstration. Very smooth.

If this is not a press conference, but an auto show, it is estimated that many car owners will place a deposit on the spot.

Of course, many reporters chased after Shen Lang to ask about his private life, but Shen Lang directly refused to answer any questions not related to the press conference.

An hour after the press conference ended, after getting rid of the entanglement of the reporters, Wang Chuanfu set up a few banquet tables at the hotel to reward the staff at the press conference, and Shen Lang was naturally invited.

"Come on, wish our brand new and facelifted BYD F6 a great sale!"

"It must be a big hit!"

Everyone raised their glasses high and their fighting spirit was high.

That night, Shen Lang drank too much as expected, and stayed in Pengcheng for another night.

Within an hour after the press conference ended, there were many reports on the Internet about BYD's facelifted F6, basically all of which were reports on the Xingchen car machine system and voice control. As for the hardcore data of the three major parts of the car, there were very few media reports. reports.

On the one hand, this F6 is basically unchanged from the previous one except for the logo and the front face. On the other hand, these are the weaknesses of domestically produced cars, and there is still a big gap with joint venture cars. There is really nothing to report , after all, the media also eat traffic.

So in some relatively large car sectors such as Autohome and Sina Auto, BYD's new facelift F6 has aroused discussions among many car owners.

Some car critics have also started to do some related evaluations. Of course, there are good and bad. After all, BYD can’t publicize all the media. In addition, foreign-funded and joint-venture cars have been closely connected with some media in the Mainland these years. Naturally, they don’t want to read Come to BYD to rise to share their cake.

"What else can BYD do besides plagiarism? The gap between the three majors has been so great for so many years, so they will engage in those crooked ways."

"That is to say, the car is here to drive. What kind of human-computer interaction experience is new at the beginning. If you really want to buy a car, you have to be a joint venture car."

"I totally agree. A car is not like a mobile phone. It costs 800 yuan. Even if you lose it, you don't feel bad. It will take at least four or five years to buy the car. Needless to say, the value preservation rate of domestic cars is basically the same after four or five years. Just scrap it, don’t give it to others second-hand.”

"Yeah, there are still people here advocating buying domestically produced cars. It's either stupid or bad. If you add more money to buy a joint venture car, it will be more stable."

There are those who don't like it, and there are those who like it. Some domestic car owners began to defend their own interests.

"What's wrong with domestic cars? Of course I know that adding money can solve everything, but what about the money? You pay? To put it lightly, joint venture cars often start at 10,000+, and domestic cars are only half the price. What kind of bicycle do you need?"

"Yeah, I drive a domestic car because I don't have enough budget, so I add money every now and then. Have you ever made money? Do you know how thick tens of thousands of dollars are piled up? I really don't know what it means."

"I think BYD's remodeled F6 is very good. Not only is the price the same as before, but also the car-machine system has been enriched so much. It is simply an increase in volume without price increase. Why are there so many people complaining? Domestic income has already been reduced. Is it so high? It seems that 10,000+ is not money."

There is a very interesting phenomenon in the field of consumption. When buying things, especially when buying some big-ticket items, it is best not to get together with three or five friends, because in the end you will find that with the help of others, the original five With a budget of 10,000 yuan, I bought [-]+ items.

And these people didn't take the kickback from the store, but simply didn't need them to pay. When all kinds of magical numbers came out of their mouths, they would have an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, as if they could afford it.

However, most consumers are still rational, especially those who buy domestically produced cars. They have a clear understanding of their spending power. At the same price, it is natural to buy what is good.

Therefore, just after the release of BYD's facelifted F6, in just one week, there was a boom in test drives across the country, and orders also increased sharply. On the tenth day, it officially broke through the [-]-unit mark.

This kind of achievement is absolutely conspicuous. Although the current statistics are not so developed, but according to the sales of domestically produced cars in the same period last year, BYD's sales of a single model this month have already ranked first. Even if some promotional activities are held, it can also hit the order. Breaking the record of [-] a month.

Wang Chuanfu also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. In order to make way for the remodeled F6, he stopped production of the previous old model three months in advance, so that the sales of the first two BYDs fell sharply.

In the past few months, Wang Chuanfu has also been under a lot of pressure. Now that the sales volume comes out, the entire BYD can take a break.

Of course, Wang Chuanfu also understands in his heart that the reason why the modified F6 can achieve such a good sales is largely due to the novel car-machine interaction experience, and the Xingchen car-machine system is indispensable.

But one thing is, the Xingchen car system is not owned by BYD. Although he also has some shares in Xingchen Technology, Shen Lang has made it clear that he wants to make an open source system.

BYD cannot monopolize the star car-machine system, so BYD still needs to develop its own core technology in the future, and external forces can only be used for a while.

In fact, just as Wang Chuanfu expected, on the second day after the press conference, many domestic auto brands took the initiative to come to the door.

Of course, they are all private companies. Brands with a state-owned background like SAIC can make a lot of money just by selling joint venture cars, and they have to maintain a noble soul, so they don’t even look down on Xingchen car system.

"Mr. Shen, you released me as a big satellite last night." Li Shufu and Shen Lang were also considered partners, and they had also participated in the engagement ceremony between him and Liu Tianxian before.

Shen Lang smiled noncommittally: "Mr. Li, even if I put the Xingchen car system in front of you at that time, you wouldn't necessarily put all your eggs in one basket, would you?"

Li Shufu cleared his throat in embarrassment. Indeed, it is difficult to make a judgment on a product without being tested by the market. Geely is now going all out to prepare for the acquisition of Volvo. What Li Shufu is looking for now is stability.

Of course, the hot sales of BYD's facelifted F6 have proved the market prospect of the Xingchen car-machine system, so Li Shufu found Shen Lang at the first time.

"Mr. Shen, I don't want to be a fool. I am here this time to get the authorization of the Xingchen car system. I know that Shen is always the first to cooperate with BYD, but you are also a shareholder of our Geely." Li Shufu wanted to move Know it with emotion and reason.

However, Shen Lang waved his hand directly: "Okay, Mr. Li, in fact, I said a long time ago that what the Xingchen car machine system needs to do is open source, and it treats all car companies equally, even if it is a foreign-funded company. I will empower them as well."

Li Shufu patted his thigh: "I knew that Shen was always a straightforward person, so it's settled. When can we sign the licensing agreement?"

"It can be done right away." Shen Lang actually made people get ready.

Li Shufu flipped through the authorization agreement casually, and signed it without much hesitation.

Shen Lang joked: "Mr. Li just trusts me so much, aren't you afraid that I'll dig a hole for you?"

Li Shufu said with some regret: "I've read all the main terms and conditions. It doesn't involve authorization fees or subsequent update fees. What else is there to cheat? And I believe that Mr. Shen's structure is far more than that. In this kind of thing, you can use those little tricks that don't make it to the stage."

Shen Lang laughed loudly when he heard the words, and then invited Li Shufu to dinner.

Li Shufu shook his head and said, "Oh, let's do it next time. I'll go back and arrange the factory to adjust the production. Tomorrow, I will fly to the United States to meet with Ford's executives."

But Shen Lang pulled him back: "Don't be in a hurry, don't underestimate our car-machine system. If you want to run this system smoothly in the car, you need to redesign a whole set of car-machine hardware. BYD is It took half a year to start mass production, and I will call He Xiaopeng over in a while, so you can chat."

Li Shufu immediately became interested. He knew that it was impossible to find out BYD's technical parameters from Shen Lang, but it didn't matter. At worst, he just bought a car and went back to dismantle it. Said to be familiar with the road.

But even so, as the owner of the Xingchen car-machine system, He Xiaopeng must have far more understanding of this system than ordinary people, and the time for this meal is worth spending.

At the wine table, Li Shufu kept toasting He Xiaopeng. He Xiaopeng's drinking capacity is considered good, but it is still far behind Li Shufu. Information.

Shen Lang didn't stop him either. He called He Xiaopeng to provide technical support to Li Shufu. Although there is no competitor in the locomotive system market, who knows if others will see it from the hot sales of BYD F6? Market, do you want to make a move?

So Shen Lang needs to occupy the market as quickly as possible.
