In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love

Chapter 648 Aren’t You Playing With Your Life?
Zi Xiaowei had never planned to come to Dubai.

I just asked for leave during the break. It's almost December and I've been playing for almost a month. I still have to do a live broadcast at the end of the month.

Especially when he heard that Li Xiang planned to focus on sales in the Middle East as the main overseas direction in the future, he was still a little skeptical. How about he compare Totoro and Li Xiang? Both models emphasize the large space of family cars. Which one can win the love of Middle Eastern users?
There aren't so many rich people who buy things priced at over 400,000 or 500,000 yuan.

He always believed that in order to achieve scale, one should first expand the scale with small profits, and then consider making high-end products to maintain the advantage of high-end technology research and development.

It's just to ensure that there is a place for research and development, and how much money can be made from that small amount of high-end products.

Anyone who sells 500,000 cars at a time would even be looked down upon by Bugatti.

Maizi said that from the fact that he was hugging two rich ladies on both sides, she could feel that his spirit had been boosted after the confrontation with Mr. Bugatti, and his skills had increased.

So the main reason for coming this time was that the two rich ladies wanted to go shopping in Europe, as they hadn't been there for a long time.

Zi Xiaowei finally persuaded them that there was something important to do, so they could either go by their own or just visit Dubai and then go home.

The two of them reluctantly agreed.

In fact, their own business jet is on the other side of the FBO terminal, but the Bugatti fleet was so impressive just now that the business jet couldn't help but slide over a little.

FBO is a dedicated terminal for business jets. It is usually an exquisite two- or three-story building, located independently in the corner of a large airport. VIPs are brought in by their own vehicles via a dedicated lane.

The Totoro that Zi Xiaowei had reminded people about when he was still in Elros has been delivered, as well as two L9s, a few 500s for high-end receptions, and two 300s as front and rear service vehicles.

But there is also a black SUV hidden in it. At first glance, it looks like an American shorthair cat with its fur standing on end, ready to squeak and scratch its face at any time.

But its size is actually larger than the tall and strong 500 model.

It has the feel of a slightly softer civilian version of a military SUV.

Zi Xiaowei was a little surprised: "This... seems like the 700 model hasn't been released yet, so they brought it here for testing?"

As soon as I walked over, a technician called out "Hello, Mr. Wei" and proudly replied, "Yes! The chairman heard you wanted a car, so he asked us to bring it over as well. We also dispatched two Changjiang Lions. You can drop it off if you need it!"

Following the direction of his finger, I noticed an unremarkable van parked behind.

Old Chang must not have married four wives. At this time, it would be a matter of life and death to pick someone up or not. How could Zi Xiaowei make such a mistake?

He nodded repeatedly and said, "So fast?"

He had a rough idea of ​​it, so he only asked for two Chinchillas to be shipped from the base store in Lu Country or Malaysia by sea. It would be no problem to expedite the shipment for a few days.

The technician said proudly: "We hired a domestic transport plane to come directly from Jicheng."

Zi Xiaowei suddenly realized that his father-in-law was quite unconventional. He proudly touched the new car and prepared to get in. Li thought they had already arrived. "A new car from Changjiang? I think they introduced it to the media earlier this year. Is it going to be launched soon?"

I still can't hide my envy.

This is the foundation.

With a research and development team of several thousand or nearly ten thousand people and an annual research and development investment of nearly 10 billion yuan, the research and development building alone is larger than the entire headquarters building.

Gao and his crew could only tinker with a single style, and then come up with one or two other styles along the way.

Automobile companies like Changjiang have six or seven sub-brands, including Ella, more than a dozen product lines, and dozens of models being promoted simultaneously.

In fact, new models are launched at any time every year, it just depends on whether there is an opportunity to be launched on the market, and more importantly, whether they can get the support of marketing and promotion resources.

When Zi Xiaowei inspected the R&D building and had a discussion with his Wei family team, he also saw and heard about this new car. Among the many new cars about to be launched, this is probably the most expensive model of the Changjiang hard-core off-road vehicle.

The previous 500 model was priced at around 35 yuan, which was considered the most expensive. This model seems to be priced at over yuan.

He doesn't pay much attention to it. In essence, it is a second-tier car model that he will most likely ignore.

This is the impact of a change in a company's leader and strategic thinking.

It’s hard to say who is right or wrong, but the careers of a lot of people may be changed because of this.

"Well, I guess so," he casually explained. "It's probably priced around 400,000 yuan for a single-motor plug-in hybrid. I'm wondering, if it's a high-end hardcore off-road vehicle, wouldn't it have four motors? That power and torque would be amazing."

The main reason was that he had experienced the high-end four-motor SUV of Dream Car. It could go sideways and turn in circles. Ordinary off-road vehicles didn't need to talk about four-wheel drive, and the degree to which the four-wheel drive could be locked was different. With four motors, you can do whatever you want!

The complexity of mechanical gear transmission and the energy conversion of four electric motors whirring next to the wheels are very different.

Li Xiang understood: "It's not entirely up to you, the Prince Consort, to decide the outcome, is it?"

A bit of a joke.

Zi Xiaowei retorted, "When you were making the MPV, didn't you also criticize the design on Weibo and say you'd jump off a building? And in the end, it still ended up like this."

Li Xiang laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, when the wheels of business start rolling, sometimes it's hard to control them completely."

They exchanged pleasantries, and it was the man in the white turban who could speak Chinese who was eager to try: "Can I... try this car?" This guy had been standing quietly by the side listening to Zi Xiaowei, the old man Bugatti, and Clark arguing, and he must have listened to both Chinese and English.

Now after listening to the two of them talking for a few more sentences, he spoke again, "Old Six."

Zi Xiaowei thought about it and nodded. What Clark brought couldn't be that bad. Besides, it was just a car.

By now, the trial production vehicle has passed and we are almost ready for mass production.

Zi Xiaowei came up with some new ideas during his trip to Central Asia. Changpai hard-core off-road vehicles have their own market and characteristics. Overseas sales in high-latitude areas can be the focus of expansion, keeping pace with Ella in tropical regions.

This is also one of the buffers that enabled him to appease and conquer the original structure of Changjiang Automobile.

It was too arbitrary to say that we would make drastic cuts before getting married.

However, this kind of arbitrariness can be used as a tough measure to rectify the enterprise. After it is done, self-criticism can be carried out to correct the direction.

Zi Xiaowei would not think that the boss had to pretend to be wrong. In ancient times, emperors had to issue edicts of repentance and engage in hypocritical self-criticism. Doing so now seems even more open and aboveboard.

Unconsciously, he also laughed at himself in his heart and thought that he had become a bit cunning and emperor-like.

But he has a sinister temperament, and it is his habit to plan before taking action.

He casually invited the two men in white robes to get in the car. He also nodded and bowed to help collect their robes and close the door, providing perfect service. Li Xiang couldn't do it and just watched from the side in a trance.

It's actually quite surprising when you open the door. The exterior has an aggressive and violent style, with some straight lines in a mecha style, but when you open it, you're greeted by a luxurious interior.

Zi Xiaowei likes to joke that luxury in China is done in the style of auto parts cities, with leather seats, embroidered stitching, and anything that can be covered with leather and stitched on the door panels and center console will be used.

Then there are shiny buttons and adjustment keys everywhere, and finally matched with colorful and changing ambient lights. No wonder the old Bugatti man called it electronic garbage.

They used to sell handmade fine products at high prices, but here they are all made by ruthless machines at high speed, and they are cheap!

Zi Xiaowei even stretched his head to take a look before closing the door, and tore off the transparent film of the large speaker on the door panel without even tearing it open. He smiled smugly and pointed to the white headscarf that in addition to the metal Changan 700 logo on the leather door panel, there was also the Harman Kardon brand logo on the speaker.

In fact, we all know that almost all global brand car audios are industrial assembly line products acquired by several domestic supporting manufacturers, and only a very small number are still in the hands of Europeans and Americans.

The so-called sounds of nature have long been brought into ordinary homes.

If Dai Annie hadn't been urging him, Zi Xiaowei would definitely have sat in the back seat out of curiosity to listen to the domestically produced "luxury" sound effects.

But soon he almost bowed down to thank the child's mother for saving his life.

Because the group had just come out of the airport, the 700 model left the convoy and headed out of the city.

This won’t do. This is like stealing a car, and it’s a prototype.

Zi Xiaowei immediately followed in a Totoro, and the entire convoy followed, including two large SUVs.

Dubai is actually a long and thin strip of terrain along the coastline, so as long as you walk vertically inland and get on the main road for two or three blocks, you can reach the suburbs in about ten kilometers, and the sky will be filled with yellow sand!
Then the 700 model rushed off the road without any hesitation and rushed into the desert!
It was the first time for Zi Xiaowei to see a desert!

There were plans to go to Xinjiang, but they all took business jets directly to the border. There were also plans to go to Kazakhstan, but there was nothing to see in the ice and snow.

Now he stopped subconsciously: "This... for a few hundred thousand dollars, don't throw away your entire family's lives, okay?"

Diane, who had grabbed the passenger seat, was happy to hear this and turned around to give a thumbs up.

Did you see Maizi giggling with Tingbaobao at the back again?

Other vehicles also crowded around Zi Xiaowei and turned their heads away from rushing into the sea of ​​sand.

Since I saw that the car was not far away, I started running around along the sand dunes in front of me.
It also means going back in a circle.

Oh, oh, oh, Zi Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief: "This is sandboarding, right? Is it fun?"

Chang Yueling raised her eyebrows in the second row: "You don't know how?"

Zi Xiaowei wasn't afraid to admit defeat: "No, I've never driven one before. I only drove it a few times with Lao Chang at the Off-Road Carnival Park last time, but that sand pile was nothing compared to this... Holy crap!"

He saw the 700 sprinting at full speed toward the top of the dune, then rushing over the high sand ridge cut by knives and axes, with all four wheels in the air, completely flying!

Zi Xiaowei, who had wet his pants when rushing down the slope with Lao Chang last time, couldn't help but clamp his legs together!
This is even scarier than rushing up a slope!
Because the slope of these sand dunes is not very steep, the off-road vehicle rushed up at a very fast speed. Finally, it broke away from the sand dunes and rushed into the air like it had rushed over a springboard, with all four wheels in the air. There was a huge downhill space on this side.

The drop was at least ten meters or even more, and it fell down so hard!

The four girls squeezed to the car window and looked at it with their lips curled up.

Are you playing with the car... or testing it?
