Rebirth 2008: I Can Make Money Reading

In fact, not only GM Vice President Nathan questioned, but even most netizens in China questioned how confident Xinghai Group’s Mirai 01 and Mirai 02 are.

This price has subverted their perception of Huaguo's domestic brand cars. If they sell a few million cars, they can still accept it. After all, Hummer EV pre-sales are hot.

But selling a car for 30 to 40 million is not a false price, but the price of a batch car, who would be taken advantage of by that.

In this era, Koenigsegg ONE and Lamborghini Poison will not be born until next year.

The Aston Martin one-77 has already been produced, and the domestic landing price is 40 to 50 million, but the overseas price is only 1.34 million euros, with a maximum power of 760 horsepower and a maximum speed of 354km/h. Quite a difference.

The domestic landing price of Bugatti Veyron is tens of millions of yuan, and the price of the overseas performance version is less than two million dollars. The maximum horsepower of this car exceeds 1,000 horsepower, the maximum speed can reach 430km/h, and the acceleration from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers takes only 2.5 seconds. The maximum horsepower of Future 02 is not as good as that of Bugatti Veyron, but it is still slightly better in terms of acceleration time from 100 kilometers.

In terms of sense of technology, Bugatti Veyron and Aston Martin one-77 are definitely not comparable to the future of Xinghai Group.

However, Chinese people still have a traditional sense of cheap domestic cars, and they cannot accept cars with a domestic price of 20 to 30 million yuan.

Now, Xinghai Group wants to break the traditional concept of Chinese people.

Netizens across the country are very curious about whether it can be done.

At nine o'clock in the morning on October 25th, Xinghai Group invited various auto media and mainstream media, as well as hundreds of car critics, to conduct a public test of the prototype car at the test base opposite the Xinghai Group headquarters base.

The purpose of Xinghai Group's move is mainly for publicity. Before that, Xinghai Group has gone through several rounds of testing. This time, the publicity is to instill in the Chinese people the reality that domestic cars are also very good, and it is to warm up the pre-sale.

If it goes on the market without publicity, the sales effect will definitely be much worse.

The Xinghai Group wanted to stir up the Future 01 and Future 02 to form a butterfly effect, causing a fire in sales and overturning the doubts of car critics.

The best way to do this is to test it on the spot and let the media and car critics watch it live.

Before the test started, the test items announced by Xinghai Group aroused the curiosity and shock of the media and car critics.

Routine 100-kilometer acceleration power performance test, vibration and noise test, braking performance test, rollover test and automatic driving test, etc. These test items are relatively traditional.

However, after flying at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour from a height of four meters, driving through a 3-meter deep water wading seal performance test, soaking for about 5 minutes, smashing away several SUVs and obstacle stones at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and passing through a 30-meter gasoline fire The road test feels too incredible, and it is no longer within the scope of the car test.

No car company conducts such a test, and it is still driven by a real person.

"What? Grandstanding?"

"NO, for real, it's not just for saving face."

Dozens of media, hundreds of reporters and hundreds of car critics gathered at Xinghai Group's test car base.

As soon as ten o'clock arrived, the two drivers put on their helmets and started Future 01 and Future 02 respectively.

The first item is the zero-hundred-acceleration test.

The runway is seven or eight hundred meters away, but in fact it cannot run that far.

According to the formula V=at and s=1/2at2.

If the acceleration is fixed, it will only take 2 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 in the future 01, and only need to run 100 meters when accelerating to 100 per hour.

If it is an ordinary car that takes 8 seconds to accelerate from zero to one hundred, it needs to run 370 meters when it accelerates to one hundred speeds per hour.

Of course, the acceleration of the car is not fixed. After accelerating to a certain speed, the acceleration will drop rapidly. It has a peak value. No matter how much it is accelerated, it can only run so fast.

In the three tests, the fastest zero-to-hundred acceleration of Future 01 is 2.03 seconds, 2.13 seconds and 2.01 seconds respectively, which is not much different from the theoretical value;

The fastest zero-hundred acceleration of Future 02 is 2.33 seconds, 2.29 seconds and 2.42 seconds respectively.

"Wow, both go hand in hand, but in the end the Future 01 is slightly better, thousands of horsepower, too big."

"WC, this acceleration is really fierce!"

"The starting speed of Future 02 is not loud, but the acceleration is exaggerated."

The starting speed of the two cars shocked the audience. Few sports cars can compare with Future 01 and Future 02.

Moreover, after the test, there was no serious tire burn, and no abnormalities were found in the car.

In the second test, the vibration and noise test, Future 01 will directly hit Rolls-Royce.

Rolls-Royce has always been proud of its anti-vibration performance, but in the Future 01, it is quieter and more stable.

The third test is the braking performance test, mainly the time required to brake from 100 per hour to zero. The performance of 01 and 02 in the future is not much different from that of millions of cars.

The fourth test, the rollover test, is a side rollover at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. After the two vehicles were tested, no parts fell apart.

However, the rearview mirror of the future 02 is still bent, that is, when the side rolls, the left rearview mirror supports the entire body in contact.

After the two vehicles were inspected, there was no major problem. The body paint was scratched, but the sheet metal was not dented, the glass was not broken, the door was not bent, and it opened normally, and the electronics started and operated normally.

So far, the test has shocked knowledgeable media reporters and car critics.

The traditional test was completed at 10:30 in the morning, and the next step was the unconventional test, preparing to fly at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour from a height of four meters.

"This height, such a heavy car, the speed is not low, it is easy to break the axle."

"If it is a general new energy vehicle, if it falls from this height, the battery will fail."

"Xinghai Group has a battery test report, and it's okay to fall vertically from three to four meters. What's more, the battery pack does not directly touch the ground when the car is dropped from a height of four meters. It mainly depends on the performance of the suspension and axle."

Media reporters and car critics talked a lot. The driver did not change the car and directly tested the first item, flying down from a height of four meters.

"Boom!"

As Future 01 flew from a height of four meters to the ground, the moment the front tires touched the ground, dust was raised on the concrete floor, and there was a loud noise. The audience thought that there was something wrong with the car. The brakes soared and turned around.

The future 01 test is over, and the future 02 will continue to be tested.

After stopping the inspection for more than ten minutes, the car was not damaged, but the chassis of the Future 02 was relatively low. When it flew into the ground from a high place, the front bumper rubbed against the ground and scratched the paint surface.

The wading test is also a test that makes media reporters very curious.

"Could it be that Mirai 01 and Mirai 02 are amphibious vehicles?"

"This is a bit exaggerated. No matter how the subsequent tests are, the previous test results have already reflected that the future car will be awesome."

A pool with a depth of 3 meters, a width of 6 meters, and a length of about 20 meters was set up for the test site. The water was clear to the bottom. When the Future 02 drove into the pool, the spectators gathered around the pool were very curious, wondering if there would be water leaking into the car. .

The future 01 is a plug-in hybrid with an exhaust pipe. When driving into water, it can only turn on the pure electric mode, and then turn on the wading mode and close the exhaust pipe.

When the car was completely submerged in water, it did not turn off the power.

Time passed by second by second, and media reporters frantically took pictures by the pool.

After soaking for about five minutes, open it again;

Then, Future 02 drove directly into the pool for testing.

It took another ten minutes to check and found that there was no problem with the circuit.

Media reporters can also see that the sealing of the five doors and one cover of the future 01 and future 02 cars is very good. Even if the circuit wires have to be exposed, they are insulated by high temperature resistant insulating materials.

Just now, the two cars rolled over and fell from a height of four meters. If it is normal, the cars must be deformed, which will definitely affect the seal.

However, Mirai 01 and Mirai 02 are particularly resistant to falling, but the paint is scratched, and the structure is not damaged.

Even the rearview mirror that was bent just now by Mirai 02 is only bent and not damaged, so there is no water ingress.

"These two cars are not afraid of soaking in water at all, even if there is a river ahead, they can still drive across."

"Of course, in the wading mode, the air conditioner cannot be turned on for ventilation, nor can the doors and windows be opened."

The following crash test also shocked the media reporters.

I saw the driver driving Mirai 01 at a speed of about 50 or 60 per hour, directly crashing into SUVs.

The several SUVs that were hit were torn apart like paper. Looking back at Future 01, there seemed to be no problem at all.

Then, Future 02 also staged a collision performance, and the huge horsepower knocked the SUV into the air.

It's not enough to hit a car, but also to hit hundreds of kilograms of stones.

Finally, cross the 30-meter-long gasoline fire road at a speed of 50 to 60 per hour.

The two cars are tested, the hulls are cleaned and then inspected for damage.

Future 01 is fine, the paint surface is scratched;

Due to the relatively thin sheet metal of the future 02, the front cover is slightly deformed, and the paint surface is also scratched a lot, so it can still drive normally.

"The bunker of the future!"

"It's really a future chariot!"

"This is the car I want most. It has a beautiful appearance and is not afraid of being hit. The dummy on the co-pilot has not suffered any damage, and the cushioning is very good."

"It's a pity that it's too expensive. The cheapest future 02 naked price is 25 million yuan, and a lot of money will be added after completing the procedures."

The media reporters said that there is no problem with the performance of the car in all aspects, and it is more exaggerated than they imagined. It is the price, let alone talk about it.

In short, I have no complaints about Xinghai Group's cars, except for the price, but no matter how low it is, it is not affordable for ordinary people.

If you compare the tens of millions of cars, you can feel that Mirai 01 and Mirai 02 are not too expensive. The large-scale use of aerospace titanium alloy materials costs nearly one million yuan, and they are still materials that cannot be bought with money.

The car of the future can be called the "chariot of the future", which is worthy of the name.

However, the person in charge of the project said in an interview: "There is still room for improvement in the future. Compared with water wading capabilities, we hope that in the future, it can really drive in water."

The media reporter was puzzled: "The future is already better than any other car on the market, and the Xinghai Group has already done a very good job."

"No, we're targeting the future, not the past."

On the same day, media reporters reported on the test of Xinghai Group's future car.

"Future: Let's Fight If You Don't Accept It!" "

"Future chariot, crashable and wading"

"Mobile bunkers, comparable to tanks, worth having for a lifetime"

"Our goal is the future, not the past"

"Domestic brand cars finally rise! "

Media reports and car critics were different from the doubts before the test, but overwhelmingly praised Mirai 01 and Mirai 02, declaring that they are the most powerful cars in the world.

Netizens praised it overwhelmingly when they saw the media reports, and thought it was a soft article made by Xinghai Group. They didn't believe the truth until they saw the test video. It's really a powerful, perverted bulletproof car.

This time the test did not test the bulletproof performance, but the Xinghai Group announced the bulletproof performance parameters. Although there were doubts, I still believed it.

"My dream car, Future 02!"

"The future 02 sports car is very good-looking. I hope to produce a normal performance version. If it sells for several million yuan, I still hope to buy one."

"It is estimated that Xinghai Group will not produce a normal performance version, which will destroy the future brand."

"Hua Guo finally has its own top-notch sports car, which beats all sports cars on the market."

The Xinghai Group's test video was also uploaded to overseas video sites, which also caused a shock. Overseas tyrants said they could buy it.

On October 27, Xinghai Group announced the pre-sale date of Future 01 and Future 02: January 1, 2013.

As for the delivery of a new car, it only takes three months after the order is placed.

Shencheng Qinfen saw the test video of Mirai 02, and instantly felt that the Hummer EV he bought before was not good, and the dozen or so sports cars at home were really not of good grade.

Future 02 priced at 25 million yuan?

purchase!

For him, money is not an issue, but whether it is worth the money.

He called his acquaintance at the Shanghai Auto Show to inquire about when he could buy it, and the reply he got was that it could only be booked after New Year's Day, and the fastest time to get the car would be April.

Of course, he hopes that Xinghai Group will produce a bulletproof version of the Hummer EV. It is really cool to drive a big car.

In the domestic and foreign media, Future 01 and Future 02 were full of praise. Nathan, vice president of GM, was interviewed and said: "I have never seen related videos, so I don't believe it."

In fact, he had already seen the video, but he refused to admit that he had.

The media reporter wanted to show Nathan the video, but Nathan said that he was busy with work and had no time to pay attention to these, and then left in despair.

In fact, everyone just took it as a joke. After all, no matter who it is, they would not be optimistic about Xinghai Group's Future 01 and Future 02 before, and the price is still so outrageous.

However, after the test video was made public, car reviewers felt that the price was more reasonable. In the final analysis, it mainly depends on whether the customer thinks it is worth it.

All results will ultimately depend on the pre-sale situation on New Year's Day.

In the future, the competing car brand of 01 will mainly be Rolls-Royce, but it is not a competitor. The price difference between the two is too big.

Since 2003, Rolls-Royce has been taken over by BMW. Now that the future 01 is born, it will have some influence on Rolls-Royce.

No matter what, the reputation of Future 01 and Future 02 has spread from abroad to foreign countries in this test.

Time passed quietly like running water.

On November 11th, this special day.

This day was the happiest day for Xinghai Group's single employees, and Xinghai Group held a party as scheduled.

The Xinghai Group holds three parties every year, and the bachelors in the H City unit are very upset. All the good female resources in their unit have been snatched away by the Xinghai Group.

Now, the bachelors of the Xinghai Group are the favorites of women in various business units in City H.

For example, Li Chuang and Wang Fang, employees of the company, met on Double Eleven and are now married.

On this day, Mu Yang received an email message from John, saying that the mass production of the Hummer EV has been completed. Currently, there are 100 vehicles in stock, and the delivery of new vehicles can begin at any time. The monthly output is expected to reach 6,000 vehicles, and even 7,000 vehicles .

Hummer has reached this production capacity through equipment expansion. What John means now is to start delivering new cars. If customers have no problems using them, a new round of new car reservations will start in a month or two.

The expanded factory is still under construction, and normal mass production will take place in the middle of next year.

Mu Yang replied: "I agree."

Since November 12th, Xinghai Hummer Company has delivered new cars ahead of schedule, and the prospective car owners who received a phone call to receive the new car were very excited.

Finally got a new car!

Waiting for a car is a very difficult process. Many prospective car owners have given up waiting for the Hummer EV and bought other brands of cars.

As for the number selection, it is also very valuable, and there are a lot of people rushing to choose the number.

The selected number cannot be traded, but after buying a new car, it can be traded, and you can make a lot of money.

Or, after the Hummer EV arrives, sell the car you just bought and make a small loss.

Gabriel in NY City is one of the prospective car owners. At nine o'clock in the morning on November 12, he was notified that the new car had arrived.

"What? My new car?"

"Wo, I'll be right over!"

The customer service call surprised him, and he asked for leave to pick up the car.

When I came to the Hummer EV store in NY, I reported my name, took out the mobile APP, logged in, showed the staff to see the order status, and at the same time took out the car reservation agreement.

A few hours later, Gabriel excitedly got into his new car and drove onto the road, taking a lap on the highway before returning to work.

There were many potential car owners who were as excited as Gabriel. On the first day, Hummer distributed a total of 100 cars.

In the following days, prospective car owners got new cars one after another, and shared their experience of using new cars, which were well received by all.

The use of Hummer EV has been well received, and car companies have paid more attention to Xinghai Group's self-developed permanent magnet synchronous motors, ternary lithium batteries and other components, which has driven the sales of Xinghai Group's permanent magnet synchronous motors and ternary lithium batteries.

This kind of sales effect is also something that Mu Yang had expected a long time ago. He developed and produced Future 01 and Future 02 before. In-vehicle systems, etc.

The price of Mirai 01 and Mirai 02 is high, so they can’t sell many cars, and selling one or two hundred cars a year is considered a lot.

The delivery of the new Hummer EV has also accelerated the financing efficiency of Xinghai New Energy Technology Company. The partners who signed the agreement before have paid money one after another, and no longer delay it until New Year's Day.

On November 20th, Xinghai Group's layout in new energy lithium batteries was truly completed, establishing its absolute dominance in the lithium battery industry.

Diwang did not sell lithium batteries in the past few years, and finally came the Ningde era.

In the future Ningde era, in 2022, the market share will reach 63%.

It is very unpleasant for car companies to see this situation. Many new energy car company bosses complain, are we building cars?

No!

We are working for Ningde Times!

The lithium battery cost of a new energy vehicle reaches more than 30%, or even 55%, which is not what it means to work for the Ningde era.

This also led Tesla to want to produce lithium batteries by itself, and many car companies began to develop lithium batteries in order to break the monopoly of the Ningde era.

Now, Xinghai Group no longer makes the mistakes of the Ningde era, and directly unites various car companies and gives them a part of the shares.

Xinghai Group is not afraid that these car companies will develop their own lithium batteries. The problem is that they can buy upstream resources.

Even if the resources can be bought, the manufacturing cost will be much higher, and the technology is not as good as Xinghai Group's lithium battery, so it is better to buy Xinghai Group's in the end.

In fact, Xinghai Group is the trust of the lithium battery industry.
