Reborn: Billionaire in College

Chapter 531 Shanghai Auto Show

Jiuzhou Automobile's moves are quite fast. Less than three years after its establishment, it has already come up with the Jiuzhou S1 concept car. Although there is still a long way to go before it can be put into mass production, it is at least going smoothly.

Generally, it takes at least 30-40 months for a new energy vehicle company to develop a new car, and this is for mature and established car companies.

The vehicle development process can be roughly divided into the architecture stage, strategy development, concept development, design development, and production introduction stages.

The architecture alone may take 18 months, and the subsequent product transformation and concept car stage will take another year.

It will take at least two years from the concept car to mature production.

The reason why Jiuzhou Automobile is so fast is, on the one hand, due to its own heavy investment, and on the other hand, it is also due to the many related technologies provided by BYD.

…………

The Shanghai Auto Show is a relatively large auto show in China. Every time it attracts domestic and foreign auto companies to participate, it is usually held between May, June and July. This year's auto show will be held at the end of June.

As an independent manufacturer, Jiuzhou Auto rented a small booth separately from BYD to display the Jiuzhou S1 concept car.

It is just a concept car, so Chen Pingjiang has no right to hold a press conference for it. Even if he wants to make it, he has to wait until it is officially launched on the market.

Jiuzhou Auto and BYD are in urgent need of such an opportunity to add some face to their car brands and increase their popularity.

June 6th to 29th are media days, which are only open to the media and the general public is not allowed to enter.

"Carrot Report" is a car review program launched by Youku We Media Channel and hosted by Chen Zhen (Erhuan Shisanlang). It explains each car in detail from the outside to the inside, and is also considered to be the earliest car review program in China.

Many people may not have heard of Chen Zhen's name, but his nickname "Erhuan Shisanlang" is very famous.

From 2005 to 2006, a car enthusiast in Beijing was known as "Second Ring Road Thirteen Lang" because he could run the entire Second Ring Road, which is 13 kilometers long, in just 32.7 minutes at 200 or o'clock in the evening under normal traffic conditions. This speed can exceed more than cars per minute. Chen Zhen's friends who are more familiar with him call him "Brother Zhen" or his nickname "Carrot".

In the following years, while participating in road superbike competitions, Chen Zhen also began to work part-time as a freelance car reviewer, and at the beginning of this year he joined Autohome.

Early in the morning on June 6, Chen Zhen walked at the front carrying a black backpack and wearing sunglasses, and behind him was the cameraman carrying a camera.

Chen Zhen is in a good mood today. Although he has been much more low-key in the past two years as a natural car lover, his love for cars has not diminished in the slightest.

I am undoubtedly excited to be able to participate in such a large-scale auto show.

This year's Shanghai Auto Show will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center.

Although it was only eight o'clock in the morning, there were already crowds of reporters heading towards the entrance of the convention and exhibition center.

Among these people, there are not only TV reporters, newspaper and magazine reporters, and self-media reporters, but also staff from car manufacturers, and VIPs personally invited by participating manufacturers.

After entering the exhibition area, Chen Zhen took the photographer to take a quick look around the exhibition areas of BBA and various sports car brands. When they found that there were quite a lot of people, they decided to visit the exhibition areas with relatively fewer people.

"Brother Liu, let's go take a look at new energy vehicles." Chen Zhen suggested.

Cameraman Liu Yuan nodded: "Let's go with Tesla, but I think there are too many people over there, how about we look at the domestic ones?"

Chen Zhen was stunned for a moment, then said with some disdain: "Brother, please don't make fun of me. What's so good about the new energy vehicles of domestic cars? Even if they are filmed for a TV show, no one will watch them."

Liu Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with what Chen Zhen said.

In this era, even if domestic cars are not synonymous with garbage, they are at least synonymous with low-end and plagiarism.

The most famous ones are Zotye and Geely's Beauty Leopard. Of course, BYD is not much worse, but it is only slightly better than the former.

In this era, the domestic car market is dominated by BBA, Japanese and Korean cars. The mid-to-high-end market is dominated by German cars, Japanese cars are mid-range, and Korean cars represented by Kia and Hyundai have taken the low-end market.

These car companies have clearly arranged their domestic market.

When talking about domestic cars, everyone will smile knowingly and then turn their heads away.

The two came to Tesla's booth and just as they were about to take a video, they noticed that there were people coming and going in the car.

"Wow, this car is really good. American cars are high-end. The 17-inch screen is really big, and the interior language is very simple."

"I heard that this tram has a very good acceleration. Is that true?"

"Look at their car logos, they are all very cool. Our domestic cars can't even design their logos properly, especially BYD, what a jerk, haha."

"The Model S is so handsome. No matter how many shortcomings this car has, its appearance alone is enough to conquer countless people."

"..."

Listening to the constant exclamations of admiration, Chen Zhen felt a little annoyed, and then he scanned the venue.

"What's going on over there? Why are there so many people?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Chen Zhen pointed curiously at the booth diagonally opposite. Before he knew it, the booth had been surrounded by people, and many people were moving quickly towards that end.

Liu Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, it looks like BYD's booth. Oh, no, what is that logo? I haven't seen it before."

Chen Zhen thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be called Jiuzhou, which is the car company jointly established by Chen Pingjiang and Wang Chuanfu."

"Ah? I remember it hasn't been long, but you're already here at the auto show? I have to go and take a look."

As soon as Liu Yuan finished speaking, he heard someone shouting beside him.

"Lao Zhang, what's going on over there? There are so many people."

"It is said that Chen Pingjiang is here."

"Oh my god! Such a big boss also came to the auto show in person."

"Go and have a look!"

……

Chen Zhen and Liu Yuan looked at each other and saw the intention in each other's eyes.

"Hurry up, squeeze over there, otherwise you won't be able to take a picture. Damn it." Chen Zhen suddenly let out a strange cry and rushed towards Jiuzhou's booth.

But the two still underestimated Chen Pingjiang's influence. When they arrived, the Jiuzhou booth was already crowded.

Chen Zhen pointed to the BYD booth next door and said, "Never mind. Go in from there. If you get kicked out, just talk it out."

The two of them struggled mightily and finally reached the first row, sweating profusely.

Before I could even catch my breath, I saw Chen Pingjiang, Wang Chuanfu and several other bigwigs whose names I didn't know standing on the stage.

Behind them, a car was lying quietly, but the body of the car was still wrapped in black cloth, so its true appearance could not be seen clearly. (End of this chapter)
