Chapter 339: Future ES6 Promotion, 1 Question (3rd Update)
Around ten o'clock in the morning, Hao Qiang arrived as scheduled and came to the company's booth.
His appearance instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the scene.
Many visitors had never seen him in person and were curious.
"Wow, so cool!"
"This is the real domineering CEO, handsome and rich, much more handsome than the stars on TV."
There were constant exclamations of praise from the crowd.
"Hao Qiang, can I have an autograph? I like your songs." Some audience members couldn't wait to squeeze forward, hoping to get an autograph from their idol.
Even though I didn’t bring any records, it was exciting to be able to leave autographs anywhere.
After all, Hao Qiang's autographed records are worth a lot of money in the market.
Hao Qiang's bodyguards quickly formed a human wall to block the crowd that was rushing in.
Hao Qiang smiled and declined, "I'm sorry, I'm not a celebrity, so I can't sign autographs. I hope you understand."
Today is the launch day of the new energy sedan ET0. Hao Qiang took time out to come and show his support and also to build momentum for the upcoming ES6.
"Chairman, you are here!" Luo Hao came forward in surprise, feeling sincerely happy about the chairman's super high popularity.
Hao Qiang nodded slightly: "I'll host the press conference later."
"That's great. With you personally hosting the event, success is just around the corner." Luo Hao looked at the audience that kept pouring in and sincerely admired the chairman's appeal.
He was glad that he had the foresight to rent several standard booths and merge them into a large exhibition area that was large enough to accommodate these enthusiastic visitors.
"This is just a concept car, don't take it too seriously," Hao Qiang calmly reminded, "ES6 will be our focus in the future.
We should put product quality first, rather than blindly pursuing publicity effects, and not put the cart before the horse.
Remember, Future Technology Group is a high-tech company. We rely on excellent quality and leading technology, not flashy publicity."
"Yes!"
Luo Hao nodded seriously. He had only been in the Future New Energy Vehicle Company for a few months and had not yet figured out Hao Qiang's temperament.
Hao Qiang nodded slightly and said, "It's been an hour or two since the model was unveiled. Tell me about the negative feedback from visitors. I won't go into detail about the positive aspects."
He designed this concept car and reviewed all subsequent optimizations. He wanted to hear the real opinions of car enthusiasts.
“Okay, there are a few aspects…”
Luo Hao gave Hao Qiang a detailed report.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was already ten o'clock.
At this time, the booth was already crowded with enthusiastic visitors.
Reporters from several media outlets also arrived as scheduled, two of which were specially invited publicity and reporting units by the company.
After all, relying solely on the spread of information from riders on site is far from enough.
Seeing the time had come, Hao Qiang stood up, picked up the microphone, walked to the side of the exhibition car, and faced the eagerly awaited audience. His loud and magnetic voice resounded throughout the venue:
“Good morning, fellow riders.
Given the limited space on site, please maintain order and pay attention to safety.
First of all, I want to state that what is being shown today is a concept car, not a mass-produced model.
To be precise, it is already a semi-concept car with normal driving capabilities.
As a concept car, it is inevitable that there are some shortcomings. Future Technology Group will carefully listen to the valuable opinions of all riders."
"I personally designed the new energy sedan ET0, and led the project team to create it with all their efforts.
"Just now, many riders questioned the authenticity of the vehicle parameters." Hao Qiang continued with a smile, "I can tell you clearly that we have no need to falsify them.
This is just a concept car that took months to build.
Next, let’s watch the test video together and I believe the data will speak for itself.”
Following Hao Qiang's instructions, the company's employees skillfully operated the equipment, and the ET0 test screen immediately appeared on the large projection screen.
The test site was selected in an open area on the outskirts of Yuecheng, and a series of professional evaluations were carried out in sequence, including 100 km/h acceleration, moose test, slalom test, 100-0 km/h braking distance, emergency braking performance, maximum speed test, as well as noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) tests.
In the video, each test was performed three times, and the results are amazing:
The average 0-100km/h acceleration time is only 2.54 seconds, which is amazing;
平均100-0km/h制动距离只有30.8米，与保时捷911、法拉利488等高性能跑车相当；
Due to the limitations of the test road section, the maximum speed could not be measured, but a speed of nearly 300 kilometers per hour is already an excellent performance for a non-sports car. After all, it is just a sedan.
Excellent performance in vehicle vibration control;
The most commendable thing is its extremely low noise level, which fully demonstrates the advantages of new energy vehicles.
After the video finished playing, the staff started the car, turned on the lights, and then turned off the engine. After all, the car could not be started at will at the scene.
Hao Qiang continued, “The purpose of showcasing this car is to present to everyone the technological achievements of Future Technology Group in the automotive field.
We have world-class, even top-notch core technologies such as power lithium battery technology, automotive motors, driver assistance system sensors and vehicle-mounted systems, all of which are the results of our independent research and development.
I hope to change everyone's inherent concept of domestic cars and call on everyone to make objective evaluations instead of jumping to conclusions without looking or analyzing.
In the near future, domestically produced cars will be fully capable of surpassing joint venture cars and imported brands.”
As soon as Hao Qiang finished speaking, the audience erupted in warm applause and cheers.
"Well said, go for the domestically produced cars!"
"That's right, they are all guys who worship foreigners and fawn on foreigners."
"Some people like to criticize domestic cars to gain recognition."
Hao Qiang suppressed his hand, and after a quiet moment, he continued, "Of course, we must also admit that there is still a gap between domestically produced cars and international brands in some aspects.
As one of the automobile companies, and a new energy automobile company that has just been established for one year, Future Technology Group is working hard to change this situation and take core technologies into its own hands.
But this takes time, I hope everyone understands.
I also hope that the media friends present here can report objectively."
"At the same time, I would like to share a piece of good news with you: our company has been developing the future ES6 for over a year and will soon be put into mass production.
This is an urban SUV new energy vehicle. Its dual motors can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just over 4 seconds and its cruising range reaches 650 kilometers.
If all goes well, it will be put into production in the second half of next year and will be ready for everyone to see.”
Hao Qiang's remarks also expressed his confidence and expectations for the domestic automobile industry.
At the same time, his honesty and sincerity, without exaggeration or slander, also won the recognition and support of the audience.
After Hao Qiang finished his introduction, he accepted interviews from media reporters on the scene.
A reporter asked, "Hello, Mr. Hao, what will the price of the ES6 be in the future?"
Hao Qiang replied, "I regret to tell you that the price is not affordable for most people. Its configuration is comparable to luxury brand cars costing over 700,000 yuan. The price will definitely be much lower, but the specific price has not yet been determined."
"Oh, it's positioned so high, Mr. Hao, do you think Chinese people can afford it?"
"I think there might be a misunderstanding here. Why do people think that domestic cars must be positioned low?" Hao Qiang replied, "I personally think that as long as they offer good value for money, are more cost-effective than international brands, and have superior quality, consumers will naturally buy them.
If the quality isn't up to par, no Chinese people will buy it even if I sell it for tens of thousands of yuan."
"Mr. Hao, the current international financial crisis has caused stock prices to plummet. Your shareholding in Tengxun has reached 6.44%. Are you planning to take control?" A reporter changed the subject.
"It's just a normal investment. I have no intention of taking control. I have reached a consensus with Mr. Xiao Ma on this point." Hao Qiang replied. His financial team has bought a lot of shares from Tengxun shareholders and will continue to increase their support.
Of course, shareholders cannot sell their shares at will.
If the shareholding ratio exceeds 5% and is transferred to a person other than a shareholder, the other shareholders must be notified and half of them must agree.
Hao Qiang has already communicated with Xiao Ma's boss and other shareholders and plans to hold the shares for a long time.
Now that we are in the financial crisis and stock prices are falling, many shareholders want to sell their stocks.
Next, Hao Qiang answered a few questions and left the booth.
Future Technology Group's concept car and future ES6 have caused widespread discussion in the industry.
Especially for the future ES6, which has such a high price tag, most car enthusiasts think that Hao Qiang is a bit too condescending to the wealthy people in China.
Who would buy a new energy vehicle worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?
For Hao Qiang, as long as he can arouse the expectations of riders, his purpose of creating hype will be achieved.
