Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 497 Orchid Car, HK$20

At this time, Tao Xin's face was not only surprised, but also a little proud. The reason why she rushed to the first interview was because she vaguely felt that Lanhua Racing was unusual.

As the first reporter to conduct an exclusive interview with Orchid Racing, she will not only be rewarded by the president, but also become famous in the industry, and she may become a big reporter because of this.

Tao Xin held the microphone and asked cooperatively: "We can see that the racing car does not have the fuel tank and engine that are necessary for conventional cars. We can be sure that this racing car is powered by batteries. A car can reach a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour. , Electric vehicles that need to reach [-] kilometers, what it means to the world, can be said to be self-evident.”

As she said that, she turned her head to interview Wang Weidong again: "Director Liu, since the Lanhua racing car has appeared on the field and has achieved good results, can it be explained that the Lanhua car will be released soon?"

Wang Weidong glanced at Tao Xin appreciatively, this little reporter is pretty smart.

"That's right, the first batch of our Lanhua Motors has been produced and will be released simultaneously in the Mainland and Hong Kong City in five days. We hope that all car enthusiasts will come to buy them."

Hearing this, Tao Xin became very excited. The driving experience of electric vehicles is unmatched by fuel vehicles. Especially in this era, the automatic clutch system of fuel vehicles is not mature, and the frustration is extremely serious. If the price is cheap enough, she also wants to own one.

Those journalists also had the same idea. Among other things, the price of fuel is high. If you have an electric car, you can save a lot of fuel costs every month.

They put the microphones in front of Wang Weidong one after another: "Director Liu, how many units are there in the first batch of Lanhua Automobiles, and what is the price of each unit?"

Wang Weidong straightened his collar and said with a smile: "Due to the limited production, the first batch of Lanhua cars is only 5000 units. In order to make everyone affordable, we are a big bargain for the opening. The price of each unit is 20 Hong Kong dollars."

20 Hong Kong dollars, as soon as the price was announced, the faces of those reporters suddenly darkened.

In this era, the monthly salary of ordinary employees in Hong Kong City is only 300 Hong Kong dollars, and the monthly rent of public housing is 80-200 Hong Kong dollars. It will take ten years without drinking.

"The price is really too high. The five-door hatchback version of the five-door hatchback version of Prince's Shijiali RV is only 1 Hong Kong dollars. It's too much for a car made in the mainland to sell for 2 Hong Kong dollars."

"That's right, 20 Hong Kong dollars. Some people can't save so much money in their entire lives."

"Everyone, don't buy it. The price of Lanhua Automobile will definitely be reduced."

Soon, the reporters realized that as long as everyone boycotted Lanhua Automobile, Lanhua Automobile would have to be sold at a reduced price.

They only need to save money for a few years, and then go to the bank to borrow some money, and they can buy it.

Wang Weidong knew what they were thinking, and shook his head with a wry smile. He wanted to use this method to force Lanhua Auto to lower the price, but he didn't know whether to call them cute or stupid.

With its excellent performance, Lanhua Automobile has no shortage of customers. There are many poor people in this world, and there are also many rich people.

They can pay exorbitant prices to have something that no one else can have.

The current production capacity of Lanhua Automobile is completely unable to meet the needs of the entire market, so it can only increase prices to screen customers.

Sure enough, just when the reporters hoped that the price of Lanhua Car would be lowered, a voice came from afar.

"Director Liu, I'm ordering [-] Lanhua cars, here is the deposit."

A fat man in a suit and leather shoes came in with two subordinates. As he walked, he waved a check. The faintly visible amount on the check instantly attracted everyone's attention.

What Wang Weidong was concerned about was that the fat man wore a huge gemstone ring on his finger, and a gold necklace as thick as a fingertip was hanging around his neck, which was exactly the same as that of the Northeast veterans of later generations.However, there is no need to test to know that the fat man's gold necklace should not be a fake.

The reporter quickly recognized the person who came, and their expressions suddenly changed.

"It's Li Junxi, Li Junxi from Nanyang Bank, why is he here?"

"Hey, you may not know. I just heard from someone outside that before the competition, Li Junxi bet on Lanhua Automobile to win the championship, and made 20 million Hong Kong dollars with 200 Hong Kong dollars. He is here to help Lanhua Automobile Factory to save face .”

20 Hong Kong dollars, earning 200 million Hong Kong dollars?

Wang Weidong frowned secretly. He had received a report from Zhou Lanzi before the game. After Zhou Lanzi bought the Orchid Racing to win the championship, another person made a big bet.

He originally thought it was someone in the competition committee who knew the inside story, but he didn't expect it to be Li Junxi.

Orchid Racing did not leak too much information before the race. In everyone's opinion, there is no possibility of winning the championship. Li Junxi dared to directly bet 20 Hong Kong dollars, which shows that this person's courage is not ordinary.

In this era of Hong Kong City, if you want to make a career, you must be timid.

While speaking, Li Junxi had already walked up to Wang Weidong, and he handed over the check: "Director Liu, I'm very interested in your Lanhua cars, and I decided to order [-] cars. This is a deposit, please help me."

Of course, Li Junxi didn't come to support Lanhua Motors because he made money.In his opinion, the reason why he won the bet was entirely due to his good luck, and had nothing to do with Lanhua Automobile.

Even if it was another car that won, he would have bet on that other car to win.

He, Li Junxi, has such good luck.

The reason why Li Junxi appeared here is entirely because he has seen the advantages of Orchid Racing.

In his opinion, the price of HK$20 for Orchid Racing is really too low.

There are so many rich people in Hong Kong City, and they will spend millions of Hong Kong dollars to invest in any female star.

Isn't this kind of orchid race car with cross-age significance more valuable than female stars?

Facing the check handed over by Li Junxi, Wang Weidong accepted it without any hesitation.

"Don't worry, the car is already on the way to be transported, and it will be delivered to Hong Kong City in five days! However, out of curiosity, can you tell me, do you have so many girlfriends for a hundred orchid racing cars?"

Li Junxi laughed for a while, waved his hands and said, "Brother, you mainlanders are really honest, you don't really think that I will give such an expensive car to my girlfriend, do you? To be honest, I plan to ship these cars to From Nanyang, you may not understand, I am from Nanyang, and I have many relatives and friends there. They have a lot of status in Nanyang, and they don’t like ordinary cars at all. Only new high-end cars like yours are suitable for them. identity.

In fact, it was just my first car purchase!If you don't mind, Nanyang Bank can completely become the agent of Lanhua Motors in Southeast Asia. "

Heh, this fat man turned out to be a second-rate dealer!Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance!
However, Wang Weidong is not disgusted with Li Junxi's behavior. If Lanhua Automobile wants to go to the world, it is not enough to rely on the strength of Lanhua Group.

Since Nanyang Bank has a strong influence in Southeast Asia, it is a good choice to use them to deal with those traditional car manufacturers.

Thinking about this, Wang Weidong held Li Junxi's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile, "Of course I wish for your company to join us. Let's go, let's go to the headquarters of our Orchid Group to discuss in detail."

Seeing the two leaving hand in hand, everyone came to their senses: "Hey, our interview is not finished yet!"

At this time, Tao Xin was so happy that he couldn't get his lips from ear to ear, he turned around holding the tape recorder and ran out of the field.

She had to get the interview published in the paper before other reporters.

Back at the newspaper, Tao Xin wrote a 10-word report in less than [-] minutes. She took the report to the editor-in-chief's office.

With a "snap", he threw the manuscript on the table: "Editor Jin, this is a report I wrote, and I think it can be published as the front page headline."

Jin Yong was stunned for a moment: "Tao Xin, you also know that our "Ming Pao" is no longer the same as before. We are now the most famous newspaper in Hong Kong City. To appear on the front page, we must have extremely high social value and news. value."

He knew that Tao Xin was going to interview Cha Sai today, and Cha Sai could be said to be a big event in the circle of justices of the peace, but it was of little significance to ordinary people.

Can you get a guy who can't even afford the cheapest car to pay attention to racing?What a joke.

The corners of Tao Xin's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a smile: "Editor-in-Chief, please read my manuscript."

"Oh..." Jin Yong also knew that Tao Xin was not the kind of person who talked too much, so he was a little surprised, put on his glasses and began to read carefully.

After reading only two lines, Jin Yong couldn't help taking a deep breath. He raised his head and looked at Tao Xin: "Are you sure the data in the report is not exaggerated? Four hundred kilometers per hour, which is faster than ordinary planes gone."

Tao Xin shook his head with a smile: "Actually, I'm being conservative. According to Director Li, the top speed of the Orchid racing car can reach 525 kilometers per hour, but the upper limit of the speed measuring tool at the Happy Valley is [-] kilometers."

Jin Yong's expression became solemn, he picked up the manuscript and began to study it seriously. It took him a full 3000 minutes to read the 10-word article.

"Amazing! I didn't expect that a car factory in the mainland could produce such an advanced car. And, according to the director Liu there, graphene super batteries can not only be used in cars."

He pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone and dialed the printing factory: "Hey, Lao Wang, is tomorrow's newspaper printed? What, it hasn't started printing because of the power outage. That's great. I have a new copy here." I will immediately ask reporter Tao Xin to deliver the manuscript to you and publish it as the headline on the front page, and an additional [-] copies will be printed for this issue of the newspaper!"

Putting down the phone, Jin Yong looked at Tao Xin and said, "We have to get ahead of such important news. I have already notified the printing factory, and you should send the manuscript there right away. By the way, it is more than 20 miles from here to the printing factory." .You go in my car."

With that said, Jin Yong took out a car key from the drawer and handed it to Tao Xin.

"Yes!"

After Tao Xin took the key, he was able to walk out in a hurry.

The fast pace of Hong Kong City has already begun to emerge in this era.

As soon as the sky was getting bright in the morning, the office workers walked out of the house, went to the tea restaurant at the street corner to have a bite of breakfast, and were ready to start a busy day.

Of course, a newspaper of the day is essential at mealtime.

In addition to paying attention to the news, they also like to watch the following horse racing information, hoping that one day they can buy it, get rich overnight, and never live such a difficult life again.

In the past, there were noisy discussions about horse races in tea restaurants, and whoever bought it occasionally would be very proud and get compliments from his companions. If he was more generous, he would help his colleagues pay for breakfast.

It's just that today's diners are not talking about horse racing, but a car whose name has never been heard.

"Five hundred per hour, I am a special mother, what kind of car is so powerful! Hearse!"

"20 Hong Kong dollars, my dear, it's more expensive than those luxury cars."

Not only in Hong Kong City, the Lanhua car was born, and it soon aroused extensive discussions all over the world.

Videos of it in the game are made into a VCR and played on a loop on the TV.

Man is an animal with pursuit. Since the first primitive man looked up at the starry sky, the pursuit of extreme speed has been engraved in the bones of human beings.

Humans also gallop like cheetahs, limited by their own body structure, and can only pin their hopes on external objects.

So the wheel was invented, the carriage was invented, the steam engine was invented, and the internal combustion engine was invented.

The emergence of the Lanhua car has given human beings a new pursuit.

On the third day after the race, business and trading companies from all over the world came to the door, hoping to obtain the exclusive agency right of Lanhua Automobile in the local area.

After receiving them warmly, Wang Weidong expressed his helplessness to their request.

Although the Orchid Group is temporarily unable to develop the global market, it will not hand over the lifeline to others.

Although Nanyang Company has become the agent of Lanhua Group in Southeast Asia, they are only responsible for selling Lanhua cars and do not have pricing power.

Seeing that Wang Weidong rejected a gift of hundreds of millions of dollars in one morning, Zhou Lanzi felt a little terrified.

She lay on Wang Weidong's chest and asked in a low voice: "Boss, anyway, we don't have the strength to take care of the North American market for the time being. Why don't we use those markets to make some money! That Smith, who owns the largest car sales company in North America, is willing." A signing fee of 2000 million US dollars!"

Wang Weidong lifted her hair with his hand, looked at that beautiful face, and said with a smile: "That Smith is a cannibal, as long as our car is in his hands, he will immediately dare to sell it at a price of 200 million U.S. dollars." For sale.

Such a high price can only be afforded by the nobles, who will regard the Lanhua car as a means of communication, not a means of transportation.

This goes against my original intention of creating Lanhua Motors.

I hope the Orchid car will be the biggest selling car in the world, not the most expensive car. "

Zhou Lanzi froze for a moment, she felt as if she understood what Wang Weidong meant, but she didn't.

Forget it, forget it.

Hey.
