Chapter 684: Public Welfare Activities that Make Fans Carnival

PS: The author's tenosynovitis has flared up, and my typing speed has slowed down a lot. Updates will be delayed for a period of time. You can refresh later or tomorrow morning. It's just a bit later than usual.

This situation will likely continue until the end of the year. After a few more days of rest, it should be better, and updates should return to normal after the new year.

I apologize for the inconvenience caused to my readers, and I ask for your understanding.

Main text:

After Luo Quan livestreamed a Russian roulette for everyone, no one questioned her luck anymore.

A 5/6 death rate, nine shots in a row without anything happening—this can no longer be explained by a simple "blind cat hitting a dead mouse."

Moreover, Luo Quan has indeed shown her good luck in the past, so all of this is likely not a coincidence.

"See, although it's incredible, I probably do have quite good luck." Luo Quan put the toy revolver back in the drawer.

The misunderstanding was cleared, and the fans finally accepted this fact.

Probably a goddess like her has some differences from ordinary people in all aspects.

Not only is she beautiful, but her luck is also very good.

And Zhihu's public opinion trend also changed after this:

"I don't know why you would question Luo Quan's luck. Which of the stocks Luo Quan bought before investing in Nikola Company didn't have a gratifying growth trend?"

"She herself said that she hadn't learned any investment knowledge at all, and the stocks were bought randomly based on her mood. Even so, she still made a lot of money. Smart people should have known what was going on long ago."

"As a firm materialist, I still can't accept this result."

"But you have to admit that some people are born different, and there have actually been many similar things in history. Rather than luck, I prefer to call it destiny."

………………

The matter about luck ends here.

With the arrival of the second week of *World of Warcraft*, more players produced Thunderfury parts, and everyone's mentality gradually balanced. After the discussion heat went down, it was naturally no longer a trouble.

Of course, no one has been able to produce two in a row like Luo Quan so far.

During this most leisurely time in spring, Luo Quan spent quite happily with a group of fans in the guild in *World of Warcraft*.

Soon, busy days arrived.

It will take a few days for the new movie to start filming. What Luo Quan needs to do now is the promotion and sales of Nikola cars in China.

The previous "Passion" advertisement achieved quite successful marketing results worldwide, and the pre-sale volume has currently exceeded 100,000 units.

But as the world's second-largest consumer market, China is actually also in Nikola's business plan and occupies a quite important position.

So, after achieving huge success in the US market, he decided to enter the Chinese market immediately.

The first step is definitely to open chain stores and build charging stations in China.

In the US, whether it is opening a store or building a charging station, it is a very time-consuming and expensive thing. The labor cost in the US is high, and the work efficiency is really average.

But in China, it's completely different.

Nikola calculated the cost, which is almost only about one-third of that in the US, and the speed is much faster.

So, overall, opening stores in China is a matter of urgency.

However, the Chinese market is large, and there are many brands of cars. Although Nikola cars have a reputation, it's hard to say whether they can perform well.

So he asked for Luo Quan's opinion.

Luo Quan told him directly:

If you want to make money from cars, you must first market them.

Nikola is a low-end car, so it must highlight cost-effectiveness, and this happens to be our advantage.

So, next, just buy a few trending searches and blow up how excellent Nikola cars are in all aspects.

In addition, choose a good spokesperson.

"Isn't you enough?" Nikola was very puzzled. "Is there anyone in China with more face than you?"

"I am an international spokesperson." Luo Quan shook her head. "And most of my fans are 'free-riders.' It's unrealistic to count on them to buy cars, so just having me is not enough. We have to find a few more."

"As for the candidates, they should be male stars with reputation, national popularity, and good public relations, like Gu Ge and Qi Dong."

"Of course, you don't know these two people. I'll contact them later to see if we can cooperate."

"As for marketing in China, I don't need to teach you, right?"

"Don't worry, I've learned this for more than half a year and am quite good at it." Nikola pulled his suit, looking confident.

The next day, many big car-related bloggers in China started blowing up the two car models that Nikola had just launched.

At the same time, the Weibo trending search also appeared with the entry "Passion is too handsome."

Nikola Company was a global hit before, but the waves it set off in the highly competitive China were not particularly large.

There are certainly many people who know about it, but after all, there are no offline stores in China, and there are no temporary charging places, so everyone's desire to buy is not particularly strong.

And with the appearance of these marketing, Nikola Company also announced that it would open stores in China and improve infrastructure.

For foreign companies coming to China to provide jobs and drive local development, China is certainly welcome, and relevant policies are estimated to be reviewed very quickly.

And on the internet, the massive marketing of car bloggers also aroused the curiosity of car enthusiasts.

Especially the "Passion" model, which has a supercar appearance but a very friendly price, has set off a small whirlwind in many forums.

Young people under 30 in China definitely have some requirements for appearance, performance, and price when buying a car.

Although Changan cars and bread cars can also be used for transportation, it would be too faceless to drive them out to pick up girls.

And if it's a sports car, the effect is completely not in the same dimension.

"Passion" can be said to perfectly meet the three rigid needs of high appearance, low price, and good performance.

As for what new energy vehicles are, many people in China have actually used them, and they are not much

Is this car really as awesome as those bloggers claim?

With current online marketing, many products are hyped up to the heavens, but after actually receiving them, they are completely inconsistent with expectations.

The ancestors had a saying: cheap goods are never good, and good goods are never cheap.

People often encounter false marketing with mobile phones, let alone something like a car.

Moreover, if one gets scammed on this, the loss would be huge.

Therefore, while netizens are curious, they are also full of doubts about the quality of the car.

At this time, the bloggers brought out the car's advertisement, which was the video of Luo Quan racing and beating a Bugatti Veyron.

A car blogger with a million followers named Xiao Pang said: "Everyone can see that the passionate straight-line acceleration surpassed the Bugatti Veyron in a short time, and even among conventional cars worldwide, it ranks at the forefront.

Besides the slightly lacking endurance, its cornering performance is also quite good.

Most importantly, it is safe and durable. It has been on sale abroad for several months, and there hasn't been a single case of a breakdown yet. I don't need to say much about how reliable it is, right?"

Such an analysis with actual pictures and data was collectively roasted by netizens:

"Your analysis feels like nonsense; who uses an advertisement to do an analysis?"

"The motorcycle I bought could fly over the East African Rift Valley in the ad, but why don't you try it in reality? You'll fall to your death!"

"This advertisement is clearly a form of expression. Not to mention how good Luo Quan's driving skills are, why should a car worth over two hundred thousand run faster than a Bugatti?"

"To be reasonable, this speed is a bit outrageous; I express deep skepticism."

………………

So many roasts made Xiao Pang quickly release another video to apologize: "Because I haven't received the actual car yet, I could only use the advertisement for analysis. This was my mistake."

With this admission, netizens mistakenly thought it was an admission that the performance of the car was suspected of being faked, and the voices of doubt and smearing suddenly became rampant.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Luo Quan posted a Weibo:

"Does everyone want to witness the true performance of the car?

I'm in New York, I happen to have one on hand, and I'll show it to everyone at noon."

Luo Quan's personal promotion can be described as a single stone stirring up a thousand ripples.

The vast majority of people thought that her beating the Bugatti Veyron in the advertisement was entirely a plot setting, and such a possibility simply did not exist in reality.

Because the price difference between the two cars is so large, and the other side is a top-tier sports car born for speed.

The most important point is that Luo Quan is still a female driver who makes people tremble with fear.

In China, the term "female driver" is definitely not a compliment; it has already become synonymous with car accidents, bizarre car accidents, and stupid car accidents.

There is a joke that says when you encounter an oncoming car on a narrow road, and neither side will give way, both wanting to pass first.

At this time, you can let your girlfriend sit in the driver's seat, stick her head out to look, and then turn on the windshield wipers.

The car on the opposite side will give way 99% of the time; if the remaining 1% doesn't give way, it means there is also a female driver sitting in the opposite car.

Although it is a joke, it actually explains some problems.

In fact, throughout the year, the ones who have the most accidents are male drivers, after all, men drive more.

But if you look at the ratio and the degree of bizarreness, it is quite intriguing.

Therefore, when Luo Quan announced that she would show everyone her driving skills, from netizens to fans, everyone felt both amused and worried.

"Luo Quan, you'd better not do it; one careless operation with this thing can easily lead to big problems."

"I know you can drive, but wanting to learn to do it like in the video is probably too early."

"Don't do this, Luo Quan; this kind of car is not something you can handle."

"Don't step on the accelerator as the brake when the time comes."

…………

Obviously, the fans were skeptical about Luo Quan's driving skills and were very worried about her safety.

However, Luo Quan did not respond because she had already had Seifert contact a private racetrack in New York.

After installing cameras in five positions: the front, sides, rear, roof, and inside the car, Luo Quan merged them into a live broadcast room and then sat into the car.

"Fans, and netizens interested in the car, welcome to my live broadcast room to watch me demonstrate the car's performance for everyone on the spot."

As Luo Quan said this, she took off the mobile phone used for the internal car camera, walked out of the car, and took the audience to look at the road conditions of this racetrack.

"Everyone sees it, right? The terrain of this racetrack is quite complex, with multiple triple hairpin turns, which is quite a test of skill.

It is said that many supercars have left their results here, so let the owner of this racetrack tell us what the records for these supercars are?"

The owner of this venue was a stylishly dressed young man. He stood behind Luo Quan with a very bright smile and said with a flushed face: "The best record for an Aston Martin is two minutes and one second, the record for a Koenigsegg is one minute and fifty-nine seconds, the record for a SSC is one minute and fifty-eight seconds, the record for a Pagani is..."

From the owner's mouth, one after another, supercars that everyone is familiar with were mentioned.

And the results of these supercars were basically around two minutes, and those were the results of multiple attempts.

Luo Quan came here and only drove two laps slowly, which simply couldn't be compared to those veterans.

"If I'm going to break the record next, do you believe it, boss?" Luo Quan asked, looking at this young handsome man.

"I believe it, Goddess, I believe whatever you say." The owner was also very honest, not hiding the fact that he was a fan of Luo Quan.

"However, I still think it's difficult for you to break the record; after all, the performance of these cars..."

The owner didn't finish, but everyone knew what he meant.

And not only him, but many people in the barrage also felt that Luo Quan was joking.

"Everyone, confirm again, this is the car, without any modifications." Luo Quan aimed the camera at her ride, a cool red sports car.

And its price couldn't even compare to some parts on a supercar.

"Being fast in corners is the real fast; who wouldn't know how to step on the accelerator on a straight line? Next, everyone, take a good look at what level my driving skills really are."

After Luo Quan finished speaking, she put the phone back in its original place, and then the car audio also started playing music.

This was a new English song she sang temporarily for this demonstration, named "Deja Vu," which is the famous "Eurobeat."

When that music full of speed and passion rang out, everyone knew what Luo Quan was going to do next.

I saw that after she started the car, she stepped on the accelerator to the end.

The car immediately shot out like an arrow from a bow. Luo Quan used her hands and feet together, constantly switching between the brake and the accelerator, and the steering wheel also turned very fast.

Amidst the harsh sounds of drifting, the front of Luo Quan's car was tightly stuck to the inner ring of the triple hairpin turns, the car body was stuck to the road, every cornering was perfect, and every time she exited a corner, the accelerator was floored.

What kind of driving skill is this? What kind of self-confidence is this? What kind of courting death is this!

In the live broadcast room, many veteran drivers with over a dozen years of driving experience saw the shots of the car cornering at high speed and said they were already numb.

With this drift, don't you reduce the speed at all?!
