The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Tengfei New Energy's first car is positioned as a range-extended vehicle.

The main reason for this is that current battery technology has certain obvious shortcomings.

Just like a car, the cost of the battery alone accounts for more than half.

After two or three years, the battery will continue to degrade.

This reduces the driving range, and if the battery needs to be replaced, the cost of this battery can account for 50% of the total vehicle cost.

It's clearly not quite in line with today's consumers.

More importantly, there is still a great deal of skepticism in China regarding the technology of pure electric vehicles.

That's why Tengfei New Energy took a different approach and invented range-extended vehicles.

To put it simply, this kind of car can be driven by both gasoline and electric power, but it's not suitable for long-distance travel.

The fuel in the fuel tank generates electricity through a range extender, which then powers the vehicle.

The combined driving range can reach approximately 600 kilometers.

At this time, the electricity cost per kilometer is less than 1 cents.

If you travel 10,000 kilometers per year, you can save a lot of money over the course of a year.

In addition, a digital intelligent cockpit was created for the entire vehicle.

It features a dual 15.7-inch LCD screen and a cockpit chip.

Car owners can activate various function configurations with a single click.

It features millisecond-level response, supports HUD digital head-up display, 256-color ambient lighting, automatic temperature-adjustable independent air conditioning, negative ion air purifier, and powerful noise reduction.

All of this was achieved through the combined efforts of tens of thousands of engineers over two years.

Furthermore, he spent billions to buy complete vehicle technology from abroad, so to speak.

Once the Tengfei P6 is released, it will have a revolutionary impact on the entire domestic new energy vehicle industry.

Of course, this is all contingent on passing professional technical testing.

They guarantee that their car will not have any problems within 50,000 kilometers.

This kind of test doesn't involve just one car; at least a hundred cars need to be started simultaneously.

If even one machine malfunctions, all work must stop.

Then summarize and improve.

The reason for such complexity is that a car represents more than just a means of transportation.

Even more so, the safety of the car owner's life.

The Tengfei P6 is positioned as a family SUV, and the price has not yet been determined.

We'll have to wait until the testing is finished to know for sure, but the actual vehicle will be out soon.

The full-scale test is tentatively scheduled for the end of May, which will include a series of technical tests such as mileage, low temperature resistance, and impact resistance.

One hundred units in total, all completed and confirmed to be problem-free.

Only then will it be listed on the market.

Chen Pingsheng listened to a five-hour report on the brand-new range-extending technology.

From AI-assisted driving to the creation of digital intelligent cockpits.

He listened to a detailed explanation of every single detail.

As early as the start of this year's World Cup, Tengfei P6 had already launched its global advertising and marketing campaign.

There isn't a large-scale advertising campaign in China yet.

Chen Pingsheng himself was very satisfied with the Tengfei P6.

This wasn't produced through assembly; it was entirely accomplished through their own ecosystem.

This integrated production process allows for strict quality control.

The common problem of numerous minor issues with domestically produced cars can also be resolved in one go.

It should take about six months for the Tengfei P6 to be officially launched.

At that time, this will also be the first truly technological product of Tengying Group.

This traditional entertainment business owner has officially transitioned to the technology industry.

Having achieved its long-standing strategic goals of group development, it naturally joined the country's second industrial transformation.

While he listened to the report, Luo Shih-hao and Chu Ting had been sitting outside from noon until evening.

My stomach was growling, but I didn't dare to leave for even a moment.

When Chen Pingsheng came out, he asked a question in confusion.

"Why are you still here?" Luo Shihao was speechless. He really wanted to say, "Didn't your secretary invite me here?"
However, you definitely can't say that in this situation.

Judging from the boss's words, the secretary didn't go inside with him to report.

That's understandable, considering he's just a newcomer while the big boss is attending a high-level meeting.

How could I possibly care about him?

"I came here especially to wait for you."

"Oh, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Want to come along?"

Before Luo Shihao could speak, Chu Ting pinched him hard.

Say yes, say yes!

He nodded somewhat shyly, his stomach growling loudly; he clearly still wanted to go eat together.

Chen Pingsheng took them along and asked him how the job application went.

Luo Shih-hao said he would wait for news.

That probably won't be too bad; if not, they'll just reject it outright.

We won't let people wait for days in vain.

There are plenty of restaurants and eateries outside the science and technology city, but he didn't eat there. Instead, he drove them to the Peace Hotel.

Since they accidentally waited for him for several hours, he should treat them to a good meal.

The Peace Hotel was very famous during the Republic of China era, and it is said that the owner was Du Yuesheng.

No matter how big a crime you commit outside, once you enter the Peace Hotel, no one will dare to arrest you.

That's how awesome it is.

The Peace Hotel was founded in 1929 and is located on the banks of the Huangpu River.

Located at the intersection of the Bund and Nanjing Road, it is a famous landmark building in Shanghai.

People who can afford to eat in places like this usually have a certain air about them.

Because the average consumption per person is at least a thousand.

When I opened the menu, I decided to let them order for themselves.

Luo Shih-hao said he didn't quite understand.

He thought Lin Qiunan, who was particularly beautiful, was clearly the big boss's secretary.

A woman like that as a secretary would surely be full of passion for her work.

If there's work to be done, the secretary does it; if there's nothing to do, the secretary does it...

Wow... that must have been the pinnacle of life.

It's no wonder Luo Shih-hao kept thinking that way; it's mainly because Lin Qiu-nan is truly beautiful.

Most boys or young men have little resistance to her.

Those who are timid or have low self-esteem don't even dare to look up for more than a few seconds.

"Old Chen, I want to order one as soon as your P6 is officially released."

"What? Didn't we just give you a Mercedes-Benz S-Class?"

"No, that won't do. After listening to your explanation today, I really want one."

Jiang Hong wants to buy the P6 because she has the purchasing power.

The family doesn't need those few hundred thousand at all; another reason is to support her husband Yao Shan's career development.

Imagine your car is finished, but even your employees are unwilling to buy it, or even want to buy it themselves.

At this point, can you get potential customers outside to make a purchase?
Chen Pingsheng certainly wouldn't be like a certain air conditioning giant, who used his own portrait as the boot screen for his mobile phone.

If a phone like that could sell, there's definitely something fishy going on.

If the P6 wants to sell well, it can only rely on genuine customer word-of-mouth and truly excellent handling.

However, a large number of people within the group will definitely prioritize ordering the cars.

There's no need to worry about sales.

“That’s fine. I’ll have Xiao Yao buy you one when the P6 comes out,” Chen Pingsheng said casually.

"Tch... that's like saying nothing at all." Xiao Yao's money is still her money.

Jiang Hong would also visit the Peace Hotel occasionally, only two or three times a year.

This kind of place isn't particularly wealthy; you'd feel embarrassed to order even with a menu in hand.
