Chapter 37: A Stone Stirs Up a Thousand Waves
"Qingtian Automobile Factory's first-generation Qin performed excellently in the collision test."
"All achieved a 4-star rating."
"The full score is five stars."
"The loading space is huge, and with the second row folded down, it can accommodate eight suitcases."
"The acceleration performance is eye-catching, with a 0-60 acceleration time of 5 seconds."
"The 0-100 acceleration time is 10 seconds."
"The acceleration is 110 kilometers per hour."
"Especially eye-catching is the fuel consumption, due to the adoption of the latest technology, battery plus motor technology, allowing the engine to always maintain the most economical RPM range."
"So the fuel consumption is extremely low, only around 7L. Extremely eye-catching."
After releasing this news.
The entire automotive circle exploded.
The vast majority believed this was absolutely impossible.
On the internet.
Someone created a chat room.
Specifically to discuss this car.
"Did this center take money?"
"Is it really that fierce?"
"This is impossible!"
Someone posted in it.
Then, immediately, an authoritative person said.
"I am the domestic agent for Volkswagen."
"As far as I know, this car cannot exist."
"What battery plus motor. It's completely impossible."
"We at Volkswagen verified this technology in the last century."
"The conclusion reached was that it would be limited to a top speed of 80 kilometers. It's impossible to break."
"So this can basically be considered..."
"You know."
"Those who know naturally know, those who don't know, asking is useless."
A classic "know-it-all" ending.
"Forget it, aren't you just trying to say the testing center took money?"
Another person popped up and said.
"I actually think it's pretty good."
"This fuel consumption is so low, my Toyota Corolla takes ten liters of fuel!"
"I drove ten thousand kilometers a year, if I switched to this car."
"How much fuel could I save."
Then, someone immediately retorted.
"Bullshit, do you know how much effort those two century-old car companies, Toyota and Volkswagen, spent."
"To save fuel consumption?"
"I think it's just made up. I read the news released by the testing center."
"Such a big SUV, do you know how much the empty car weight shown on it is?"
"A full 1.5 tons."
"Think about it, such a big car, can the fuel consumption be low?"
At this time, a heavyweight figure entered the chat room.
The Shanghai regional manager of Toyota.
As soon as he entered, he said: "I am Liu Congshun, the regional manager of Toyota in Shanghai."
"I suppose everyone surfing the internet here is a decent person."
This was true; at this point in time, having a computer was a precious thing.
In this era, students needed to wear ear caps and shoe covers for computer classes.
"Everyone might know me."
"Let me just say this, looking at the introduction of his car."
"This car is completely impossible to appear in the real world."
"After all, someone from Volkswagen has already said it."
"Let me talk about Toyota's exploration in this area."
"After all, Toyota's impression on everyone is fuel efficiency, and Toyota has also been working hard for this goal."
"The headquarters did indeed have such an idea and plan, but after the efforts of more than three thousand engineers."
"It completely failed."
"Why?"
"You know without me saying it, you just need to know that this route is just a lesson learned by two century-old car companies, Volkswagen and Toyota."
"However, after our Corolla was updated, it changed its name to 'Earth's Dream,' this car is equipped with a 1.5T engine plus a smooth and fuel-efficient CVT transmission, and the comprehensive fuel consumption can reach 9 liters."
"And there is a method to test fuel consumption."
"That is coasting downhill in neutral, it doesn't cost any fuel at all."
It looked like this person was specifically here to advertise.
"I'm actually quite curious about its performance."
"What kind of car can go from 0 to 60 in just 5 seconds?"
The speaker was a professional race car driver, Zhao Wei.
He had even won fourth place in a competition held by Eagle Country.
An extremely authoritative professional.
"You have to know I've driven quite a few race cars, except for those professional race cars and civilian supercars."
"It's fundamentally impossible to reach this number."
"If it's an SUV type, it must be equipped with a V8 or V12 engine, and it must be the latest one."
"However, I haven't heard any news from abroad recently."
"However, I do know of a car company called 'Coffee' or something, recently buying parts everywhere to build cars."
After he finished speaking, someone immediately spoke up.
"The car company you are talking about should be Coffee car company, that is our company, our company's chairman is Zhao Dong."
"Let me say something, I know something."
"I know where this car is produced, it's a domestic car."
"It's manufactured in Three Towns City, by a factory called Qingtian Automobile Factory."
"Claiming to be all-domestic."
"All parts are domestic."
Once this was said, the chat room immediately fell silent.
"All-domestic? Isn't that the garbage of garbage?"
"Courageous, awesome!"
"No wonder, it's just these domestic cars that have connections to get to the top."
"I was wondering who it was? So it's a domestic car, I wasted half a day, it's garbage at a glance. Not saying anymore. Wasting time."
Below it showed that Liu Congshun had exited the chat room.
"Pity, I thought some car company's technology had a new breakthrough?! It turns out it's just a domestic car."
"Pity, I've driven domestic cars, all kinds of fraud."
Zhao Wei exited the chat room.
When everyone heard it was a domestic car, they immediately left.
The chat room was instantly left with only half the people.
At this time, the person who spoke regretted it so much his intestines turned green.
If he had known, he would have introduced his own car first.
"The quality of their factory's cars is extremely poor."
"It can be said that there are strange noises everywhere."
"Unlike our factory, the transmission is purchased from Hans Country, the engine is imported from Xiao Ri Zi, and the car frame is imported from Eagle Country."
"Everything is imported."
"Everything is imported, the quality is absolutely good, right?" someone said.
"If everyone buys imported, then when will our country's automotive industry be able to develop?"
Someone said.
When everyone heard this.
They immediately aimed their spears at him.
"What the hell? There's still this kind of person?"
"Joint-venture brand cars are so durable, one car passed down for three generations, what about your crappy domestic one?"
"Can't use it for a few years, right?"
"Really ridiculous."
"Where did this brat come from?"
"Kick him out quickly!"
"Affecting the mood."
"I remember this factory, wasn't Qingtian Factory the one that built warships for the National Army back then? It was even commended."
Someone posted.
Unexpectedly, someone suddenly said: "It must be short of money, wanting to cut some leeks in the market by relying on his status."
"You don't really believe it, do you."
"But I heard that the car is also going to participate in the Magic City Auto Show in two days."
"Yes, that's right, I'm exhibition staff, I do have this factory here."
"Their product is called, Qin?"
"Hahahaha! Really trampling on the name!"
Thus, amidst laughter and joy.
The chat room closed.
And Zhang Wen was lurking in this chat room.
Zhang Wen laughed.
It seems the public opinion war was fought well.
Let's hype up the buzz first.
Otherwise, no one will pay attention.
What kind of car am I selling!
Next, just wait for the auto show to open. ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
