Chapter 212 The Moon in Foreign Countries is Not Always Rounder
How does it feel to be defeated in your own territory?
The Germans at the scene finally understood it.

In particular, the car that broke the Nürburgring lap time legend was a Chinese-made, pure fuel supercar.

If a new energy pure electric sports car like the NIO EP9 breaks the TOP1 record originally held by Porsche, perhaps it can give itself some way out.

Talk about embracing new technologies and future electric mainstream trends to save face.

However, the field of fuel vehicles has always been an area where European, American, Japanese and Korean automakers claim to dominate.

The old car companies that have developed in this field for hundreds of years were easily defeated by the Chinese latecomers. This is as exciting as being slapped in the face.

Of course, where some people are worried, others are happy.

When Zotye ZT700 created a miracle at the Nürburgring, as news from the front line was continuously passed back by car reviewers like Wang Jieke, the domestic automotive media circle went wild!

This is a famous racing track sanctuary and the dream destination of countless car enthusiasts and racing fans.

As a result, without any warning, it was defeated by an unfamiliar supercar from Zotye.

That incredible record of 5 minutes 11 seconds 21 was just like a student in the village suddenly being admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University as the top student in the country. It directly dominated the hot searches of car circle apps such as Autohome and Dongchedi.

There were riders and fans everywhere telling each other the news.

Even the Douyin hot search list, social platforms such as Weibo, Xiaohongshu, and Hupu began to swirl the screen as soon as the news was confirmed.

Of course, there are also some sarcastic public intellectuals who don’t quite believe it. They think the news is fake and that it must be another blunder made by the car companies to hype themselves up.

"really!"

"Today is not April Fool's Day, it looks fake!"

“With Zotye’s shabby technology, even if it is acquired by a big company, can it easily break the top spot in the Nürburgring? (Impossible, absolutely impossible)”

"It must be fake. Waiting for the foreign brands to make an official announcement to slap it in the face. (Laughing to death)"

"Don't hype up unverified news. What does it have to do with our 3000 yuan monthly salary?"

In the eyes of the kneeling people, even if foreign brands sell Japanese-style industrial garbage such as Sylphy and Corolla with reduced configurations to the domestic market at high prices, there will still be people touting them.

Distrust of domestic new energy vehicles or domestic car brands is ubiquitous in the comment sections of the Internet.

So when the news of Zotye breaking the Nürburgring Nordschleife record spread back to the domestic automotive circle, there was even more debate about this "fake news".

Many car enthusiasts who already drive domestic cars will still be subject to widespread ridicule and sarcasm no matter how they respond or argue in the comment section.

This is also the current situation on domestic social platforms, which are flooded with public opinions such as 16 billion dog food, LGBT, boxers, spiritual foreigners, etc.

However, this information cocoon-like debate was soon broken by an unexpected big shot!

Because when Zotye ZT700 broke the Nürburgring lap time legend, Xiaomi's Lei Jun excitedly took a live video and posted it on his Weibo account.

By the way, he attached a heartfelt comment: "Today is a milestone in the Chinese auto industry! I witnessed with my own eyes that the Zotye ZT700 won the No. 1 track record in the history of the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The excitement in my heart is beyond words! The No. record in the Nürburgring Nordschleife was taken by a domestic car, proving that the efforts of Chinese automakers have not been in vain! Zotye's success has also given Xiaomi Auto a great encouragement! Congratulations to Mr. Jue @Jue (scatter flowers)"

As soon as Lei Jun posted this Weibo, the entire hot search exploded.

Those traitors who were shouting that they were waiting to be slapped in the face were now being slapped in the face.

They can be sarcastic and argue with normal domestic netizens who are also spectators, but in front of a big shot like Lei Jun.

The inherent sense of superiority that "the moon is rounder in foreign countries" was completely shattered in an instant.

You know, Lei Jun's Xiaomi products are sold all over the world. Since 2017, Xiaomi's annual revenue has exceeded billion yuan.

In recent years, the company has continued to grow. Since the launch of the Xiaomi SU7 car, Xiaomi Group's revenue has almost reached over 4 billion yuan every quarter, and the number of employees has exceeded .

The personal confirmation by the boss of a Fortune 500 company is much more reliable than the rumors spread by car reviewers and in the automotive industry.

As a result, the wind direction in these cesspool areas of Weibo immediately began to change. While catering to the general trend and starting to carry out positive publicity, they also began to mobilize manpower and material resources to dig deep into the details of Zotye Auto's ZT700 model.

Those who kept praising joint venture brands in the comment section were overwhelmed by the excited consumers who supported domestic cars after Lei Jun posted the news.
“Aren’t foreign car companies awesome? (dog head)” “The fastest lap time at the Nürburgring has been broken by Zotye, let the foreign car companies overtake them! (Husky sticking out tongue.jpg)”

"Look carefully, it was a fuel-powered supercar that broke the record! I wonder who dares to say that domestic car engines are not good anymore (slippers are stuffed in your mouth)"

"It's incredible that Zotye broke the racing record dominated by foreign car companies. The impact of this story reminds me of the German conscientious sewer oil paper package and the Japanese ballpoint pen tip (I need to read more Yilin to calm down)"

"The people in charge of spiritual cultivation are probably studying how many imported parts there are on the Zotye ZT700! (laughing to death)"

There are all kinds of flowers in the comment section.

Seeing Lei Jun showing his support, Chen Jue took advantage of the time when the trending searches were going viral and took a photo with Lei Jun and the Zotye ZT700 that had just left the track. He also added a sentence "This car is 100% domestically made, including the driver (dog head)" and posted it on his social media.

Chen Jue's influence on the Internet has been growing day by day, and his number of fans has exceeded 800 million.

After the popularity of breaking the lap record at the Nürburgring, the number of fans on the entire Internet exceeded 10 million overnight.

After all, on domestic social platforms, positive energy events that break foreign dominance and enhance national prestige are the most popular.

Not only does the platform provide traffic, but even silly netizens like to watch it.

Especially after seeing the photo of Chen Jue and Lei Bushi, fans in the comment area shouted: "Lei Bushi has made it big. He can actually interact with President Jue (reverse Tian Gang)"

“Is this the social circle of a real boss?”

"The rise of Magic Cube Group is so fast that it can even be compared with Xiaomi (awesome)"

The Internet was in an uproar, with various terms related to Zotye Auto, ZT700 Nürburgring lap time, Magic Cube Group's Chen Jue, and information about Tie Yi, the fastest racer at the Nürburgring, frequently appearing on hot searches.

Even the mainstream news programs broadcast this short message at 19 p.m. that evening.

After all, the export of domestic new energy vehicles to break the monopoly of foreign car companies has become a general trend.

It is only right to write about the fact that you defeated your opponent on his/her own turf with your hard power and real swords and guns.

Even the old owners of Zotye Auto enjoyed unprecedented respect on this day.

Whether you're driving to get gas, wash your car, or are in the mall parking lot.

Any ordinary person who pays attention to the popularity of the car industry, after seeing Zotye's Z logo offline, can't help but give a thumbs up and say: "Zotye is awesome!"

……

at the same time.

However, after experiencing the speed and passion of the Nürburgring, a racing mecca, Chen Jue, who was far away in Germany, made an appointment with Lei Jun of Xiaomi to go to a restaurant in the Nürburgring to have dinner and chat.

"Mr. Lei, I think the foreign driver hired by your Xiaomi team is not good enough! He has been running for the whole morning and didn't even get under 7 points. How about some cooperation?" Chen Jue said meaningfully.

"Cooperation? How do you cooperate?" Lei Jun's expression changed.

Chen Jue smiled slightly: "Doesn't Xiaomi SU7 Ultra need a creative and sensational result for marketing? It's very simple. I'll let Tieyi help you with the laps. With the performance of your company's vehicles, it should be no problem to get into the top ten of the TOP list."

When Lei Jun heard this, he immediately became interested.

After witnessing the domestic sensation caused by Zotye ZT700's fastest lap time at the Nürburgring, Lei Jun actually wanted to ask Chen Jue for help more than once.

But he is a business tycoon in his 50s after all, and he couldn't lower his dignity and status to ask for help from others.

Taking advantage of the time to chat over dinner, Chen Jue took the initiative to bring up cooperation. Lei Jun was naturally delighted to have this opportunity: "If it is just a simple exchange of drivers, I can personally offer Mr. Tieyi a hiring fee of 500 million. But I think Mr. Jue seems to have different ideas for cooperation, right? Or, does Mr. Jue want to get something from us Xiaomi?"

As one of the first generation of Chinese Internet entrepreneurs and a big shot on par with Martin and Liu, Lei Jun easily saw through the intentions of the young man Chen Jue.

"Money is meaningless to me. I have plenty of it. Tieyi is my personal assistant and driver, and I have the final say over his actions. Even if Mr. Lei offers 100 million to bribe him privately, it will be useless." Chen Jue shrugged his shoulders and took the opportunity to get straight to the point: "What I want is for Mr. Lei to open a small backdoor for our Magic Cube Group so that our products can join Xiaomi's smart system ecosystem!"
