From knock-off old-man's electric vehicles to industrial giant

Chapter 222 A Dazzling Starlight, A Grand Opening (Part Two) (9,000 words)

The lights shine down, a grand spectacle attracts attention.

Xu Yi stood on the screen, her smile as unchanged as ever.

The entire room fell silent.

This time, the silence was spontaneous.

Reporters at the scene, as well as business leaders and investors, couldn't help but stare intently.

The live stream started simultaneously online, and without the need for red envelopes or traffic generation, the popularity was increasing by thousands or tens of thousands per second.

Over the past two years, Xingchen Motors has created many memorable moments and memes, from its clashes with global automotive giants on the eve of its launch event to its foray into battery manufacturing and its pioneering overseas expansion...

It's hard to imagine that this is something a new car manufacturer has done.

Whether it's praise or criticism, joy or hate.

No matter what, no matter what the meme is.

People have gradually become familiar with this brand. Xingchen Motors, with its green license plate, travels through the streets and alleys of cities large and small, and can even be seen in mountainous areas and rural-urban fringe areas.

"It is an honor to stand on this stage today and share our new car launch with you all. We have been preparing for this goal for more than two years..."

Xu Yi narrated the story in a simple and unpretentious style.

Why do I say more than two years?
Actually, from the very beginning when we started building cars, my company team and I wanted to build a very good car, a very big car, a car that would be recognized by the universal standards of the general public.

after all.

"If given a choice, who would want to build a 'senior citizen's car'?"

...

"This was our factory back then, an old production line, and colleagues tightening screws. In such limited conditions, we built our first car, and the rest is well-known..."

The voice just fell.

A picture of an old production workshop appeared on the huge screen behind me.

The environment in the picture is simple and messy; it's unclear whether it was intentional or not.

In the picture, Xu Yi is wearing a set of work clothes, and Zheng Tie and Wang Jingming are standing next to him. The men look disheveled, with messy hair and stubble.

"Please don't misunderstand, this is not a staged photo."

After all, it's a photo from 15...

At that time, our first car encountered a sudden quality problem in order to meet production capacity. The senior management team and technicians all rushed to the factory. In order to deliver the car to the customer, I was anxious. When I saw them adjusting the equipment, I couldn't help but go up and tighten the screws a few times..."

A slight chuckle rippled through the audience.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Chuanfu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Lei Jun looked at the stage with a slightly strange expression.

In the live stream chat, the comments section was already buzzing with laughter.

"Haha, Mr. Xu is as humorous as ever, bringing up cars again."

"Wow, Mr. Xu actually tightened those screws! This is such a memorable moment."

"Where is the car that Mr. Xu had its screws tightened on? What's its VIN? I'll buy it at the original price!!"

"I'll pay ten times the amount; this is a very memorable thing!"

"Look at you, acting on your emotions again..."

"Release the new car quickly! Release the new car quickly! Release the new car quickly! I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!!"

……

"After the Star 01 and Star Mini, we later produced our first family sedan – the Star S7. This is a remarkable milestone. We put a lot of effort into this car, and it officially opened up a path for us to deeply cultivate the new energy industry."

"But we did not stop there. Just as being recognized by the general public and by the industry is a difficult thing, the development of new energy vehicles is accompanied by growing pains and huge changes, conflicts between old and new ideas, and numerous difficulties in industrial upgrading and technological research and development."

Frankly, solving these problems is harder than having me work in a factory for a month screwing in screws.

It's difficult to explain to outsiders.

So today we're bringing you a brand new car with a completely new concept – the Starry Sky L7!

This is a luxury family SUV.

It represents the sum of all the technology, effort, and dedication that Xingchen has invested in the past, and the hard work of thousands of people throughout the group.

Xu Yi did not continue with emotional narration.

Instead, he looked towards the side of the stage.

But there was no one beside him.

Where's the car?

Many people were slightly puzzled upon seeing this.

At the last press conference, Mr. Xu mentioned this, and the actual Star S7 had already been driven up. But now there's nothing. Surely they didn't forget to arrange it?
How could Xingchen Motors make such a blunder?

at this time.

A beam of light came on.

The car is coming.

The Starry Night L7 finally emerged slowly from the darkness of the side of the stage. The stage was illuminated by a carpet of light, and spotlights followed and enveloped it, shining on the top-grade paint surface, which was as smooth as porcelain, creating a mirror-like texture. Music flowed, and the car shone brightly... With its signature star-ring headlights, the front of the car was rounded yet imposing. The side profile of the actual car showed an even more luxurious style, making it more impactful than the exposed concept images. Paired with 21-inch spoked wheels, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

With the lights focused on the high-definition camera, everyone could see it more clearly.

This Starlight L7, making its first public appearance, had its front window wide open, and the driver's seat was completely empty!

Last time I drove the Starry Sky S7 up here, there were people inside!
"Thank you all for joining me in witnessing the Starry Sky L7's real-vehicle intelligent summoning function. It can allow the vehicle to drive in and out in a specific direction under human supervision and Bluetooth remote control."

The Starry Night L7 drove to a smooth stop in front of the stage. At this moment, Xu Yi took out his mobile phone and gave the public a preliminary demonstration of its intelligent functions.

"This feature was initially designed to facilitate entry and exit from narrow parking spaces."

Furthermore, it possesses sophisticated sensing capabilities. For example, if I stand in front of the car and try to remotely control it, the car won't move.

Xu Yi took two steps back and pressed the forward button on the car infotainment system on his phone screen again.

can be seen.

This time, the car slowly moved forward a short distance, but when it was about 30 or 40 centimeters away from Xu Yi, it stopped on its own!
The executives and CEOs of the car companies in the audience were somewhat agitated.

Wang Chuanfu couldn't help but widen his eyes, completely unexpected that Xingchen would start with this feature.

Summoning a vehicle in a straight line is not difficult. As long as the vehicle domain control and communication latency are not too high, the vehicle can automatically shift gears to move forward or backward.

Such a smooth start, and the ability to automatically stop upon detecting an obstacle, involves multiple senses and safety redundancy.

So confident?

Show off your skills!

That's definitely showing off!
"Of course, this is just a trivial little feature. In the past, we needed to have colleagues drive the car to the booth at the press conference. Now, I only need to move my fingers, and my colleagues can watch me give the speech from backstage while drinking coffee, saving valuable manpower."

Xu Yi smiled.

There was no exaggeration, nor was there any excessive detail.

Instead, they made a little joke based on it.

"cool!"

"This entrance is so clever!"

"Isn't this similar to Tesla's advertised automatic summon feature? Can domestic cars do this too?"

"Holy crap, has the world changed that fast? Cars can be remotely controlled now? What if they hit someone?"

"Mr. Xu said that this is just a small function to make it easier to enter and exit the parking space, and that you can use it when someone is supervising you. The remote control should have a range limitation."

……

"When I was involved in the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry, I often asked myself, what is the most important thing about a car?"

"After thinking about it, we realized that configuration, safety, and comfort are all extremely important... but the most basic and the most anxiety-inducing aspect for the general public is undoubtedly the battery life issue."

“In the era of gasoline cars, a tank of gas can take you 500 or 800 kilometers and you can fill up the tank in two or three minutes. But when you switch to new energy vehicles, the range problem faces a severe test.”

The huge screen behind Xu Yi changed.

A comparison of the range of similar electric vehicles and the Starry Sky S7 is provided.

“In the past, our models, whether it was the Star Mini or the Star S7, have been working hard to solve the range problem.”

We made the batteries bigger and extended the battery life, we adopted dual-gun charging, we spent money like water...

In just six months, we have built more than 300 supercharging stations across the country.

Our vehicles have an average NEDC range that is 100 to 200 kilometers longer than other pure electric vehicles in the same class.

Dedicated to solving the biggest challenge of the new energy era.

...

"The Starry Sky S7 has achieved great success. People are no longer overly anxious about the range, no longer averse to charging, and enjoy extremely low electricity prices and travel costs, with a charging cost of only 30 yuan for 400 kilometers."

But that's not enough. For longer journeys and a wider range of usage scenarios and needs, is a range of four or five hundred kilometers sufficient?

Xu Yi brought up the most "sensitive" topic in the current new energy industry.

It has captured everyone's attention.

This is a problem that no company making pure electric vehicles can avoid.

Even if Starry Sky's pure electric vehicles sell very well, and the Starry Sky S7 is very stylish and popular, it still has to be labeled as "for short and medium distance travel".

what?
Long-distance travel?

Forget it, there aren't that many charging stations.

Let alone dual-gun charging.

So what if you get three or four charging guns?
I want to travel to XJ and take a trip along the 318 highway. Is a pure electric vehicle capable of doing that?

……

"Therefore, in order to completely solve range anxiety, we have adopted our internally developed 'Super Range Extender System' for the first time in the Xingchen L7!"

A large title appeared on the screen behind Xu Yi!
And a large rendered image.

This is a sophisticated range extender drive system.

"Please don't laugh, everyone."

Some might ask, isn't range extender technology just about installing an engine to generate electricity? Why would Xingchen use such outdated technology?
Aren't you afraid of losing face? Aren't you afraid of being questioned?

Xu Yi's words have once again attracted widespread attention.

Some people in the audience subtly straightened their posture, and the number of comments in the live stream increased significantly, indicating that this route was highly controversial.

no doubt.

Xingchen's decision to take this path is extremely bold.

A car.

If even the most core power system is not recognized, no matter how much luxury is piled up, it's all empty talk, like a castle in the air.

"In fact, we have already been questioned, and even by industry giants."

Our competitors not only have a century of experience in car manufacturing.

It also possesses the industry's top-tier and most comprehensive hybrid technology patents.

We at Xingchen Automotive deeply appreciate the valuable advice from our competitors and will take it to heart, after all, range-extended electric vehicles are a type of hybrid!

As soon as these words came out.

Many people in the audience were left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Xingchen Automotive's two tributes to Toyota have become a laughing stock in the industry.

This first incident damaged the reputation of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, causing their stock price to plummet.

The second time, they criticized him so much that he simply turned off the comment section on Weibo.

Such a tribute?

"As we all know, the biggest feature of hybrid electric systems is the extreme energy consumption control. In order to seek breakthroughs, we cooperated with Dong'an Power and jointly developed China's first range extender engine, codenamed XD15."

Our competitor's engine is top-of-the-line in the hybrid field, achieving a thermal efficiency of 41%.

How much of our domestically developed hybrid engine has achieved?
This has actually already been announced.

However, I must state that Yu Nian's revelations on Weibo are not entirely accurate.

Because the previous bench tests collected data based on sample parameters from three months prior, we subsequently refined and improved the system, ultimately increasing the engine's thermal efficiency from 40.3% to a super-efficient 41%!

Xu Yi's words were astonishing!
This real and astonishing figure was revealed.

An uproar erupted in the audience!

The live stream chat was filled with shock!!

offstage.

Li Shufu and Wei Jianbing exchanged a brief glance and saw the shock in each other's eyes!

Both companies have devoted a great deal of effort to research on engines.

I was completely shocked by this number!
Who would have thought.

The thermal efficiency of the hybrid engine previously announced by Xingchen is not even the limit?
Even the thermal efficiency of hybrid engines used in laboratories is still around 39%.

Undoubtedly, hybrid engines only need to operate in the efficient range of 1500-4000 rpm, avoiding the inefficient range of the "full speed range" of internal combustion engines.

But no one has ever said that achieving a thermal efficiency of over 40% is not difficult!

High-speed combustion in cylinders, variable cooling, lightweight cylinder block, increased expansion-compression ratio...

Each of these involves numerous patents and R&D bottlenecks, some of which are hampered by material strength and manufacturing processes.

This thing was actually made by Dong'an Power?
Wang Chuanfu also found it unbelievable.

The CEO of any of the gasoline-powered car companies present couldn't help but have some doubts.

A terrifying and eerie feeling arose spontaneously.

When did Dong'an Power become so powerful?

-

"We are grateful for the support of Dong'an Power to achieve this level. As domestic independent enterprises, we have made valuable R&D achievements today through the cooperation and shared vision of both parties."

Unexpectedly, Xu Yi made no attempt to conceal the fact that they were jointly developing the technology.

The high-definition cameras inside the venue were simultaneously moved to the front row seats for supply chain guests.

Chen Libao was caught off guard, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately forced a smile to greet the public, a strange emotion welling up inside him.

CEOs and investors from multiple car companies have turned their attention to this project.

While I was still thinking about it, I realized that Dong'an Power's technology had made rapid progress in the past six months, which was truly astonishing.

How much of this was due to Star Auto?

"Because of the gap, it has been questioned."

But we never shy away from the fact that only by firmly pursuing independent research and development and overcoming all difficulties can we achieve excellence.

This is just the first step in the rise of domestically produced engines…

The large screen behind Xu Yi displayed the intricate internal structure of the engine: a high-strength aluminum alloy cylinder block, a more integrated design, deep Miller cycle, a centrally located hydraulic control valve VVT ​​system, and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system...

Each component is disassembled and reassembled to form the domestically produced engine of this super range extender system, which is then embedded into the entire range extender system.

This gives the entire system an extraordinary aura!
But it's not over yet.

The benchmarking process continues.

"Some might argue that the high efficiency of a hybrid system cannot be explained by the thermal efficiency of a single engine; the smoothness of the entire powertrain often stems from the 'seamless coordination' of the entire powertrain system."

Our competitors have world-leading planetary gear transmission technology, which allows for a smooth and seamless experience in all acceleration, deceleration, and gear shifting ranges.

So what do we have?

Unfortunately, we don't have planetary gear sets. However, our range extender system's engine only generates electricity, which is then directly driven by the electric motor—there's no gear shifting, yet the power delivery is still incredibly smooth!

Xu Yi explained the matter from the perspective of system-level principles, and also introduced the fuel consumption.

"Our hybrid fuel consumption is only 5.8L per 100km, and its energy efficiency is among the best in the industry for vehicles of the same weight."

Equipped with a large 43 kWh battery, the NEDC-rated pure electric range reaches up to 150 kilometers, with a combined range of 1180 kilometers.

Another shocking number!

The fourth-generation Prius is equipped with the THS-II hybrid system, and the official fuel consumption is 4.3L per 100km. However, the size of that car is only 4460mm. In comparison, the Xingchen L7 in front of us is obviously larger and heavier.

"Our vehicle uses self-developed V6 and V6S dual front and rear motors, with a total power of 440kw, a maximum torque of 840N·m, and a maximum horsepower of 590 horsepower."

The caliber 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 4.96 seconds!

It was another number that left the entire audience speechless.

Despite a prominent label below stating that the Starry Night L7's acceleration time is approximately 5.1 seconds without deducting the starting time, the actual acceleration time is still around 5.1 seconds.

But when this incredible force, capable of sending bricks flying, appeared before their eyes, everyone's minds couldn't help but go blank!

Now Xingchen is no longer targeting Toyota.

The big screen displayed six or seven luxury SUVs in the 500,000 RMB range, including the Porsche Macan, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Land Rover Range Rover Sport, with prices ranging from 800,000 RMB to over 1 million RMB!
Moreover, they are all high-spec versions with a six-cylinder 3.0T engine, and their acceleration times are 5.4 seconds, 6.5 seconds, and 7 seconds respectively...

That's too violent!!
……

"Young Master??"

"Holy crap, that's way too violent!"

"Wait a minute—Mr. Xu just said this is a luxury family SUV, right? Your family SUV is going to compete with these guys in acceleration and get crushed?"

"6 - Redefining the family-class SUV."

"I'm totally convinced!!"

Viewers in the live stream gasped in shock at the cool air conditioning!

They really hadn't expected this acceleration.

Xu Yi just talked about engine thermal efficiency, and many people are still confused.

The technical principles and hybrid system logic sound impressive, but upon closer inspection, I realized I didn't really understand them.

But let's look at the simple and easy-to-understand figure of 0-100 km/h acceleration.

They truly understand.

Even by visual inspection, the Starry Sky L7, with its six seats, is already over 4.9 meters long!
The car's dimensions and power specifications were displayed on the big screen for everyone to view.

The Starry Night L7's impressive 5030mm length has once again taken many people by surprise.

……

Xu Yi only briefly mentioned the power and parameters of the self-developed V6S motor, without going into further detail or talking about how painstaking the motor development process was, and how Xingchen now has more selling points.

"In addition to power and acceleration, we also need safety."

"The Xingchen L7 achieved a moose test result of 74.2 km/h. The vehicle's torsional rigidity, as well as key structural components such as the anti-collision beams and A-pillars, utilize Baosteel's 1500MPa ultra-strong hot-formed steel."

"The Starry Night L7 has passed domestic industry safety tests and the European 'E-NCAP' five-star standard."

It's worth mentioning that our vehicle's torsional stiffness is 41000 N·m/deg. Vehicle torsional stiffness is often a key parameter on paper, and our figure is about twice that of a typical gasoline-powered vehicle.

The large screen has changed again.

The results show that the torsional stiffness values ​​of German luxury cars such as the Porsche Macan and BMW X5 are between 30000 and 35000 N·m/deg.

The top row now includes a numerical comparison of "Rolls-Royce Phantom".

According to official data, the Rolls-Royce Phantom has a torsional stiffness of approximately 42,000 N·m/deg, which ranks first.

The Starry Sky L7 ranked second with a score of 41000.

It looks very familiar.

—Still a classic PPT comparison!
"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Baosteel for providing us with high-strength body steel, which is the industry's top safety material. The super safety of the Xingchen L7 does not come from how advanced our own technology is, but rather from our willingness to spend more money and increase costs in areas that others do not pay attention to."

Safety is the greatest luxury.

Xu Yi thanked the supply chain again, and the camera shifted to Baosteel, where Chen Luojiang nodded slightly.

At this moment, the leaders in the front row were exchanging hushed conversations. Wang Chuanfu, Li Shufu, Wei Jianbing and other colleagues looked serious, while Li Bin and He Xiaopeng, representing the new forces, had heavy eyes and increasingly complicated expressions.

They all looked like they'd seen a ghost, and were under immense pressure.

Comparing it to Rolls-Royce is a bit of an overstatement.

But by so directly presenting the data and repeatedly stating that it was "spending more money" and the result of supply chain cooperation, it actually gave everyone a very sincere feeling!

The media at the scene kept taking pictures!

"So, is there any credit to our self-developed part?"

some!

To meet the demands of power and ensure greater energy security, we are officially announcing the simultaneous launch of the second-generation Polestar battery. The Starry Sky L7 will be the first model to be equipped with the second-generation Polestar battery!
This time, we've brought with us a porous needle penetration test, a high-temperature test, and a 30% external force compression test!!

The screen displays the parameters of the second-generation Polestar battery, and a window plays various rigorous safety tests.

With an energy density of up to 176Wh/kg, it represents a 10% improvement over the previous generation of Polestar batteries, disproving the previous industry argument that lithium iron phosphate was approaching the limits of physics.

After the instrument measured the voltage and internal resistance, the battery pack was punctured simultaneously with six steel needles while fully charged. The battery pack still did not spontaneously combust or catch fire. The compression test was to simulate the scenario of large-scale deformation and thermal runaway of the battery pack under external impact. This experiment is as valuable as the needle penetration test in the industry, and the second-generation Polestar battery withstood it firmly!
Wang Chuanfu stared intently at the screen, his back straightening up, then he couldn't help but lean back in his chair.

My scalp feels a little numb.

BYD just officially announced in the fourth quarter that the first batch of its blade battery is scheduled to be mass-produced early next year, but its energy density is still 10% lower than that of Polestar batteries. Now, the second-generation Polestar battery has such a big improvement, widening the gap even further!

Zeng Yuqun of CATL stared wide-eyed in disbelief. CATL has actually shipped a lot of lithium iron phosphate batteries and invested in research in this area.

However, its energy density and discharge rate are simply unmatched.

The investors at the scene were in an uproar. The second-generation Polestar battery... this is another major positive development!!

"Li Bin, what do you think of this car...?"

He Xiaopeng subconsciously wanted to light a cigarette to calm his emotions, but then realized he was at a press conference and barely stopped himself. He couldn't help but ask Li Bin and the others next to him questions.

Li Bin's expression was stern; in terms of psychological pressure, he was even more under pressure than He Xiaopeng.

This is a six-seater new energy SUV, which is almost a direct competitor to the NIO ES8 in terms of positioning.

He used to be able to comfort himself with the idea of ​​battery swapping, but now, faced with Xingchen's "super hybrid system," that confidence has been wiped out. In terms of safety, this car is almost impeccable.

Although no words were explicitly mentioned as luxurious, a strong sense of luxury permeated the air.

It's suffocating!
"The success of a car depends not only on power and safety, but also on chassis and configuration. Our ES8 chassis uses top-tier imported supply chain configurations, as well as imported air suspension..." Li Bin wanted to say that NIO has its own unique advantages in this regard.

At least in China at present, there are almost no domestically produced models equipped with air suspension.

The prices of models from joint venture brands are also very high.

With good promotion, it's possible to create a niche market opportunity.

however.

Just the next second.

"The Xingchen L7's chassis uses pure aluminum alloy, with a double wishbone front suspension and a five-link rear suspension. The handling and driving quality of a good car often depend on the materials used in its chassis..."

And for the first time, we've equipped our vehicle with domestically developed air suspension, breaking the current monopoly of high-end luxury cars on air suspension technology!

The large screen behind me has shown numerous German luxury car models for what seems like the umpteenth time.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Porsche Panamera, etc... These are all common models on the market equipped with air suspension, and Xu Yi thoughtfully included their prices.

The average price is at least in the range of 70 to 100 million.

“Initially, we encountered huge resistance when we wanted to equip the Xingchen L7 with air suspension because imported air suspension is too expensive, the ordering cycle is too long, and there is huge cost pressure. Moreover, this is a feature that is only found in luxury cars that cost millions.”

My colleagues tried to persuade me overnight, saying that it was fine, the double wishbone and five-link chassis configuration was good enough.

But having ridden in the top-of-the-line models of other competitors in the industry, I always felt a sense of incompleteness.

The air suspension feature is indeed very comfortable, and it can also raise and lower the chassis independently, giving you an experience that no luxury car can match.

Why can't domestically produced cars have that?

Why can't Chinese people manufacture such good active suspension components?
We still can't understand the technology inside. How many more years will this bottleneck remain?
If we don't do it, will someone else do it in the future?
So I found Konghui Technology, a group of friends with dreams who were willing to work together to develop air suspension. We dreamed of the day when we could break down the barriers, just like the domestic engines of today.

We did it! This is our achievement!!

Xu Yi expressed his gratitude to the supply chain three times.

The camera switches to the front row.

Guo Chuan's face was filled with complex emotions, and a light shone in his eyes.

Compared to other companies, Kong Hui is too small in scale and is also the core supply chain manufacturer with the lowest starting point.

At the highly anticipated mobilization meeting, Xu Yi generously expressed his gratitude!
He was truly moved! He felt like it was all worth it!!

...

"Air suspension?"

"You didn't see wrong, domestically made... air suspension?!"

"hiss!!!"

"Not buddy..."

Netizens were stunned.

The level of shock has reached a whole new level!!
It's so amazing it's unbelievable.

At this moment, air suspension is a highly valuable feature in the industry because imported luxury cars have very strict hierarchical structures. This is a feature that is obviously only available for cars costing 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. Even if you go up to 600,000 yuan, they will never provide it.

But Xingchen Motors actually managed to pull this thing off and put it in front of them!
exaggerate!

too exaggerated! !
"This car...a family SUV??"

"Goodness, putting aside the question of how much this car will actually cost, the air suspension is high-end, but if it breaks down or gets damaged, the repairs will cost at least 50,000 to 80,000 yuan. Who can afford to drive it? Who can afford to use it?"

Some people are pondering and questioning again.

The high-end nature of air suspension is not only reflected in its functionality, but also largely in its staggering maintenance costs.

It's definitely a luxury chassis!
Xu Yi’s next words shattered this expectation: “People may also have concerns about whether domestically produced air suspension is reliable, comfortable, and how to calculate the repair costs if it is accidentally damaged.”

We have conducted in-depth research on these issues and can ensure that, whether it's service life, inflation/deflation speed, lifting height, or the linkage with chassis control, even if it doesn't reach the very cutting-edge level, it's definitely on par with the international top tier.

On the big screen, the parameters and test videos of this first domestically produced air suspension system were displayed, as well as extreme durability tests conducted in a temperature-controlled laboratory, with the airbags undergoing more than one million inflation and deflation cycles.

"Many people think this is a wear part, but after we developed it through many difficulties, we found that its quality is not as the public understands it. The current air suspension has a very long lifespan."

However, to avoid any psychological concerns or the possibility of being able to afford the initial purchase but not the subsequent repairs, we offer a separate official warranty of up to ten years for free repairs and replacements of the air suspension! This is available to all first-time owners!

The whole place was in an uproar!

This groundbreaking warranty guarantee has an impact no less significant than the emergence of domestically produced air suspension.

A round of enthusiastic applause began.

Li Bin's world has collapsed.

I glanced at my phone; only an hour had passed since the press conference started, and I still didn't know how long the whole event would last.

He had never felt any press conference was so long, or so unbearable...

My buttocks kept shifting, it was unbearable.

It feels like ants are crawling all over my body!
My head is buzzing.

Staring at the stage.

How could he do this? How could he do this...?

But that's not all.

That man, he's still tirelessly producing!
"Technology serves life, and making convenient technology accessible to the public is our pursuit at Xingchen..."

So what comfort features does this car have?
In the front row, we have a 15-inch 2K ultra-high-definition OLED screen, and in the second row of rear seats, we have a 17-inch multimedia OLED ceiling screen, which can also be called a rear TV.

In addition, we've installed a 7.8-liter car refrigerator under the center console island, so whether it's cold drinks in the summer or hot milk in the car, it's no problem.

A heartwarming video appeared on the big screen: a family was traveling, their car was parked at a campsite, the TV in the back was turned on, the refrigerator popped out, and the mother and child in the back were laughing and chatting happily.

"The onboard refrigerator solution for new energy vehicles is often powered directly by the vehicle's large battery, so people don't have to worry about high-power electricity use frequently damaging the small battery. This is different from many luxury gasoline vehicles."

In addition, we use a compressor cooling solution, which supports temperatures from -15 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius. In my personal experience, the imported luxury car Maybach uses a semiconductor cooling solution, which only supports temperatures down to -2 degrees Celsius.

Our cooling system is 13 degrees Celsius cooler than Maybach's.

……

coming.

Late but arrived!

It has a very strong benchmarking style.

Everyone found it both funny and absurd.

This is a small theater with Mr. Xu's unique sense of humor.

After the launch event for the Starry Sky S7.

Many people used the meme, and were subsequently ridiculed online.

Xingchen Auto's "over-marketing" has drawn a lot of criticism. They even dare to compare their screen size to that of luxury cars costing millions. Does that have any merit? Is it worthy of comparison?
This is a completely ineffective benchmarking!

But now.

But they gradually stopped laughing.

This cooling solution is genuinely more efficient and effective than the Maybach system.

Moreover, they even brought over the air suspension system that's usually found only in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

How then can it be considered an invalid benchmark?

This benchmarking is incredibly valuable!!
"The front and rear rows of seats are equipped with ventilation, massage, lumbar support adjustment, and heating functions, and support voice and physical adjustment. All of our models come standard with NAPA leather seats, the quality of which is evident to everyone. Even the third-row seats have been equipped with ventilation, heating, and electric adjustment..."

Xu Yi didn't go on to describe the process of developing the self-made seat, because he had a lot of features to introduce next.

Xu Yi didn't say anything at all.

Instead, it was placed directly in the standard form, allowing the audience and all consumers to see it for themselves.

He also took a short break to calm the pace of the press conference.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of the people in the front row.

However, he noticed that many acquaintances were expressionless, such as Wang Chuanfu, Li Shufu, and Li Bin from the new forces.

A question mark slowly appeared in Xu Yi's mind.

I've used so much force, and you're all unmoved?
impossible.

That can't be right!!
Just as this question arose in his mind.

The audience began to stir, and one by one they finally couldn't hold back anymore.

It wasn't that they were indifferent; they were clearly being worked to the point of mental exhaustion!

Some were inhaling, while others were whispering and discussing among themselves.

Others looked blank, and after thinking it over and over, they felt they had no other choice, so they simply raised their hands and clapped to express their complex emotions.

wonderful!

Absolutely fantastic!!
