I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity!

Chapter 240 This guy is shameless!

5 Month 14 Day!
[Qinzhou Auto] Main gate entrance.

Although Kevin and the others left.

However, the frenzied media did not disperse; they stayed up all night guarding the entrance to the Qinzhou Automobile factory, waiting for any unexpected events to unfold.

Moreover, more and more media outlets have come to investigate!
because!

Zhou Yang did not leave!

Other than that…

Rumors suggest that Zhou Yang is about to bring some reporters into the factory area, as if he's about to do something big!
A speechless night!
Nine o'clock in the morning!
The factory gates are finally open!
The media instinctively tensed up, staring intently at the doorway.

This time, they were not disappointed!
Zhou Yang is out!
Moreover, instead of leaving, he walked step by step, under the protection of security guards, to the center of all the media, and then stopped.

Countless people saw Zhou Yang standing in the morning light, a smile on his face, as he pushed up his glasses.

"Dear friends from the media!"

"Perhaps you will be disappointed today."

"Actually, there's no news today, and I'm not doing anything."

"I just wanted to advertise our [Qinzhou G1]..."

"As the advertising spokesperson, I hope to personally introduce our [Qinzhou G1] to our clients..."

"Let me say it again, the reason I'm here today is to advertise. If any media friends are interested, feel free to bring your cameras and follow me into our [Qinzhou G1] factory area. If not, then that's fine with you..."

"..."

In the morning light, Zhou Yang was not as flamboyant as before.

On the contrary, his eyes were sincere and his smile was genuine, like a boy next door.

Chen Jiajia from [Wandou Film Network] was squeezed in the center of the media, and she was momentarily lost in thought as she looked at Zhou Yang standing in the crowd with a smile on his face.

This seemed to be the first time she had ever seen Zhou Yang with such an "open" expression in front of the media...

Perhaps it was because Zhou Yang was naturally handsome and had a fatal attraction for girls, but the "sincere" expression he showed made Chen Jiajia's heart race.

However, she didn't dwell on these emotions for long...

Because the scene suddenly erupted in excitement!

As soon as Zhou Yang finished speaking, the reporters who had been staking out the place all night went crazy with excitement, raising their hands and scrambling to squeeze in with their cameras!

"Mr. Zhou, it's me, it's me!"

"Mr. Zhou, take me with you!"

"I!"

"Mr. Zhou, it's me, it's me!"

"..."

This world seems somewhat magical!

It was so surreal that Chen Jiajia never dreamed that someone would decide to run an advertisement, yet the media swarmed in like sharks smelling blood!

All the cameras and lenses were pointed at Zhou Yang.

Countless flashes went off wildly, and the sound of camera shutters clicking incessantly filled the air; the scene was even more frenzied than when chasing after international superstars…

Reporters from [Film Vanguard] rushed to the front, while Lao Wang from [Entertainment Weekly] shook off the security guards and charged forward, shouting, "Mr. Zhou, look this way!" Even more outrageous, several female reporters almost got into a fight over the best camera positions...

Perhaps, in this magical age, the lines between advertising and news have long been blurred.

When Zhou Yang said he wanted to "advertise," what the media actually heard was "come and shoot exclusive footage."

After all, who could refuse to use Zhou Yang's footage in exchange for headlines?

Zhou Yang seemed to randomly point to dozens of media outlets...

Chen Jiajia was lucky to be among these media outlets.

The security guards then cleared space, allowing the media to follow behind Zhou Yang.

....................................

"I know that all of us don't have a good impression of domestically produced cars, and our impression of [Qinzhou Automobile] is even worse..."

"In fact, we will not shy away from reality..."

"Six months ago, our [Qinzhou Automobile] was indeed on the verge of bankruptcy. The most valuable thing in the entire factory was our car manufacturing license..."

"We will not shy away from all the problems we have encountered, such as lack of technology, lack of talent, and lack of management..."

"But we've been working hard to solve it!"

Following Zhou Yang's footsteps, Chen Jiajia entered the factory.

Sunlight streamed into the factory building through its glass skylight.

Behind Zhou Yang were neatly arranged frames of the Qinzhou G1 trucks...

He paused briefly.

"Everyone, please look here." He picked up a screw from the side and held it up in front of the numerous cameras: "A German Würth M12 flange bolt, the purchase price of a single bolt is 26 yuan, the cost of a single bolt is three times that of a domestic part, and our [Qinzhou G1] uses these bolts..."

Chen Jiajia's camera involuntarily focused on his oil-covered fingers, capturing the screws.

“Five months ago, our General Manager Liu insisted on replacing all the chassis bolts with imported parts. This increased the cost, but it also represented our sincerity…”

“Each bolt hole here has been manually checked three times.” Zhou Yang randomly unscrewed a nut with a wrench, revealing a bright red marking line on the internal thread. “See this red line? This is the ‘lifeline’ drawn by the quality inspector. If the screw is loose, it will become misaligned…”

As Zhou Yang made his move, the media instantly crowded to the front row and raised their professional macro cameras.

In the viewfinder, the red line, thinner than a hair, meanders clearly through the gaps in the threads.

Zhou Yang paused for a moment, then turned and walked towards the welding workshop, with the media hurriedly following.

Amidst the blue light emitted by the welding torch, he picked up a palm-sized steel plate and slammed it to the ground.

The steel plate bounced on the concrete floor with a bell-like echo, startling several female reporters who shrank back. "This is high-strength steel from the Swedish company SAB, with a tensile strength three times that of ordinary steel." He bent down to pick up the undamaged steel plate, welding sparks casting leaping spots of light on his glasses. "Using this steel for the car door bumper beams increases the cost by 3200 yuan per vehicle, but it can withstand a 5-ton lateral impact... We firmly believe that safety is the greatest luxury!"

He suddenly handed the steel plate to a slightly burly photographer: "Try to bend it?"

When the burly photographer, his face flushed red, still couldn't deform the steel plate, everyone quickly snapped a picture of the scene.

Zhou Yang continued walking forward, and after reaching a certain place, he took a copper-nickel alloy gasket from the material rack next to him: "This is an anti-loosening gasket from Sumitomo Chemicals in Japan. It can maintain its elasticity at minus 40 degrees Celsius!"

He tossed the shim into the air and caught it steadily: "See, the deformation is less than 0.1mm."

Zhou Yang walked forward step by step, explaining each step in turn.

Chen Jiajia suddenly realized that three pages of her notebook were already filled.

She watched Zhou Yang's retreating figure as he walked towards the painting workshop...

I vaguely recalled my visit to the Volkswagen factory during my university years; the Germans seemed to be showing something similar back then…

"This is BASF's CathoGuard 800 electrophoretic coating, maintaining a temperature of 28℃ ± 0.5℃, even more precise than breast milk storage..."

"Our electrophoretic layer thickness is 25μm, which is 40% higher than the industry standard!"

"Because we used Kärcher's ultrafiltration system from Germany, this equipment alone cost 860 million..."

"..."

Zhou Yang walked step by step, explaining each step in turn, uttering one professional term after another.

The media followed Zhou Yang, taking photos and videos as they went...

When Zhou Yang reached the end of the final assembly line, he suddenly stopped.

In front of him was a red G1 that was about to roll off the production line, with a conspicuous yellow label on the door.

“Actually, from last year to now, we haven’t produced many cars in total, only 47, and this one is the 47th car…” He gently peeled off the label, revealing a handwritten inspection record underneath. “Each car has to undergo 1327 tests, and this car…” He turned to the third page of the record book, “during the rain test, we found a 0.3mm gap in the right rear door seal, so we reworked it…”

The media group immediately stirred, with several reporters expressing disbelief: "Such a small problem requires rework?"

Zhou Yang didn't answer immediately. He walked to the waste bin next to the testing line and pulled out a rubber sealing strip: "This is an EPDM rubber strip from Laomei Chuancheng; its aging resistance is five times that of the national standard." He pulled the strip forcefully until it deformed. "Master Zhang, who discovered the problem, penalized himself by forfeiting his monthly bonus because..."

He suddenly threw the tape at the reporter who asked the question: "Try to tear it, see?"

As the reporter's face flushed red with frustration, Zhou Yang turned and patted the roof of the G1 car: "Here, there's no such thing as 'almost'."

After Zhou Yang finished speaking, the scene instantly fell silent.

Just then, a ray of sunlight streamed through the skylight and shone on Zhou Yang...

His figure, bathed in sunlight, seemed to gleam, and Zhou Yang silently pointed into the distance.

"We don't deny that we had a slow start, but a slow start doesn't mean we should give up or completely give up. On the contrary..."

"But precisely because we are aware of our shortcomings, we have been working hard to communicate with Audi China and invite their engineers and friends to come and guide our production and technology..."

"Just yesterday, through our efforts, we passed the inspection of Audi China and obtained the technical authorization and certification from the Audi team... and successfully obtained the cooperation authorization for the EA113 engine. The EA113 is the same engine used in the Audi A4!"

"..."

Zhou Yang looked at all the media, accepted a certificate handed to him by Liu Fusheng, and then looked at everyone.

"We hope to do our best to bring better products to more Chinese users..."

"..."

Sunlight shines on the brand-new Qinzhou G1 car.

Chen Jiajia watched Zhou Yang stroking the hood of the car through the camera lens, and was momentarily dazed.

"The EA113 engine accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.8 seconds, but its fuel consumption is only 6.2L..." Zhou Yang opened the car door, his fingertips tracing the stitching of the leather seats. "We adjusted the seat design 27 times, just to make the lumbar spine of Chinese people more comfortable."

Listen carefully!

Chen Jiajia, as if possessed, raised her hand to interrupt Zhou Yang's introduction: "Mr. Zhou, this car... may I test drive it?"

Amidst the laughter of the audience, Zhou Yang nodded seriously: "Of course, but..." He suddenly pulled a key from his pocket: "How about just buying one? Today's media special price, a discount of 5000, buy a car..."

The camera flashed wildly, and Chen Jiajia was slightly taken aback.

He subconsciously lowered his head.

And at this moment...

"Ladies and gentlemen! Order your cars today!"

"From now on, no matter which media outlet..."

"They are all my friends, Zhou Yang's friends!"

"In addition to three years of free maintenance, I, Zhou Yang, will personally serve as your after-sales consultant!"

"Apart from that!"

"All future news materials from my company, including my movie premieres, product launches, and my news leaks and movie information revelations in Hollywood!"

"I will personally contact you all for all the firsthand inside information! Yes, personally!"

"even……"

"You can call me anytime between 2 pm and 3 pm on certain rest days!"

"Next up, my Saw movie will have its world premiere!"

"Everyone, place your orders and I'll report the global box office results directly to you!"

"Whoever places the first order must report it first!"

"..."

When Zhou Yang said this!
More than 30 media outlets stared wide-eyed!

What the hell!
This guy has no shame!

Are they even selling cars to them?
