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

Chapter 302 A Brilliant Birth, Daring to Cross the Galaxy
Is Xingchen going to build a supercar?
wrong--

StarCraft has already produced a real supercar?
Damn it—Gan!

When exactly?
The hearts of many industry professionals skipped a beat as a result!
They discovered that their understanding of Star Auto was very superficial. Although they had tried their best to understand and guess, they became increasingly aware of the other party's incredible nature.

……

Just like now.

Conversely, they sincerely invited Mr. Jia to return to China to appreciate the supercars.

This is simply another bizarre meme since the birth of the internet in the 20th century!

How on earth did he do it?
Why did they suddenly pull out a supercar?

Ah? ? ?
-

Jia Yueting's mind was buzzing!

Blood pressure spiked!!

I stared at that comment that was going viral.

Mr. Jia, are you going back to China next week?
Going back to China...?

Back?
The words kept magnifying in front of my eyes.

Jia Yueting could almost see Xu Yi's mocking expression behind the screen.

"I'll tell you what you mean, 'You're such a damn old woman!'"

He didn't dare send that message.

Can only be helpless and furious.

With a loud "bang," the phone screen slammed onto the table, making a crisp sound. It was unclear whether the screen was broken or not.

A feeling of being mercilessly mocked from afar filled his heart!

He was once again scorned by the stars!
twice!!
Amidst this intense anger, a sense of unease and anxiety also arose.

...

Domestically produced supercars are still a big gimmick.

It's a versatile cake.

NIO raised money with its "domestic supercar" concept, attracted a bunch of people, and successfully sold its stock options.

LeEco also raised money with its "domestic supercar" project. Despite the company's business failing and its retreat overseas, many people are still optimistic about it.

Supercars naturally possess the property of "self-propagation".

Whether it's performance parameters, appearance, scarcity, lap time, or celebrity endorsement.

— They all use the least amount of information to create the biggest buzz.

Supercars can leverage supply chains and talent.

High-caliber projects often require top-tier talent and the support of core suppliers.

Besides.

Most importantly, the capital market likes to hear "similar stories".

The title of "domestic supercar" carries significant weight!
It can be compared to Tesla, Porsche, and Silicon Valley technology companies.

Europe, Nicholas, the United States... these countries with mature car manufacturing supply chains all have their own supercar brands!
Meanwhile, on the Chinese side...

A car market with 1.4 billion people has yet to produce a single independent ultra-premium brand, and can only import from abroad.

This is clearly a gap.

Any investor with a sound business sense would be willing to give this a try.

Don't worry about how far-fetched Jia Yueting's car manufacturing plan sounds.

What if it works?

In any case, the initial funding is only a portion of the total; there are also performance-based agreements and installment payments to follow.

Even if we lose money, it won't be too much.

If it succeeds, even if Faraday Future becomes the next NIO, it might not necessarily be a loss.

……

Jia Yueting's sense of crisis grew stronger.

He was well aware of the level of his car manufacturing capabilities.

They're now relying on intimidation to secure funding.

If the Starry Sky model is launched sooner and confirms its status as a domestically produced supercar, wouldn't the expectations for Faraday Future be dashed?

Where will he raise money then?
"Mr. Jia, Xingchen Automotive's supercar is about to be unveiled. What are your plans? When exactly will the first batch of FF91 vehicles be delivered? Can it be done as early as the end of the year? At least it has to be before Xingchen Automotive goes into mass production, right?"

Evergrande called to urge us on.

After learning the latest information, Xia Haijun was truly in a state of confusion and didn't know what to feel.

Suddenly I understood why they treated me that way when I went to Xingchen Automotive for our exchange. Damn it!
Starry Sky was secretly building supercars! You should have told me sooner!

If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have voted for Faraday Future!

As a real estate giant, Evergrande actually adopts the most common approach of diversifying its new energy narrative and using its listed platform for capital operations.

Faraday Future is just a shell.

All they asked for was a "second growth curve" that was easier to tell a story about, so that the group could continue to raise funds.

But Xingchen did this.

Their second growth curve began to become unstable.

We can only put some pressure on Lao Jia first.

"President Xia, you're pushing us too hard. We clearly agreed that mass production would begin in 2019. Evergrande has only paid 800 million so far. No matter how fast the supply chain is, we can't produce a mass-produced supercar with this little money... Or we could renegotiate the contract. Evergrande can pay the second 800 million first, and Faraday's factory and R&D can also speed up the process."

Jia Yueting was in a hurry.

But halfway through his sentence, he rolled his eyes and changed his mind.

"Even if you're just going to brag about it, you need tangible results... I'm putting my words out there, Mr. Jia, you figure it out yourself." Xia Haijun was slightly annoyed, then gave a cold laugh, realizing that the pressure wouldn't work, so he had no choice but to leave.

He was particularly dissatisfied with Jia Ting's attitude towards car manufacturing.

In terms of financing and hype, Evergrande surpasses LeEco, making it a true powerhouse.

We're all ancient foxes, why are you trying to spout nonsense to me?
Hype needs a foundation, and a story needs a base.

The news of the Stardust supercar caused Faraday Future's foundation to shake violently.

……

The concept images released by Xingchen Automotive this time were accompanied only by a simple promotional tagline.

Yet, at first glance, it exudes a powerful aura.

...

—To shine brightly in the world, daring to traverse the galaxy.

...

However, the iconic brand logo of Xingchen Motors is not visible in this picture.

The first thing that catches the eye is a dark gold car logo engraved with oracle bone script.

Its style resembles both ancient and seal script, and its curves are as swift and ethereal as lightning.

Let's look at the appearance in the rendered image.

At first glance, it captivated everyone.

In terms of appearance

Regardless of whether people like this style or not, the design concept and meticulous details of this supercar are ahead of its time. Even people who have no sense of car aesthetics will be deeply impressed when they see such a design.

"Holy crap, this mecha-style supercar...it's even more futuristic than the Faraday Future?!"

Yang Li's eyes widened.

I wanted to get as close to the computer screen as possible to see it.

He described this car with just one word.

So cool!!
The suicide doors, the large rear wing, the interstellar headlights with the perforated hood... all of these are perfectly integrated into the fastback and low-slung body. Unlike all the previous rounded supercars, this car has very sharp lines, with angular edges everywhere, and digital lights running through the side door waistline.

The laser LED headlights on the front of the car radiate millions of beams, illuminating the darkness and projecting a galaxy-like light curtain.

This is simply—it practically screams science fiction!
At first glance, it looks much more high-end than Faraday Future.

This is a gap in design skills, and a chasm in the depth of industrial aesthetics.

"What do you think of this car?" Yang Li was afraid that his aesthetic sense was too one-sided, so he sought other people's first impressions.

Assistant Chen Chao stared blankly for a moment before uttering two words:

--"strangeness!"

Yang Li asked in confusion, "Unfamiliar??"

Chen Chao nodded:

"Yeah, it's so damn unfamiliar!"

StarCraft is making supercars now, how can we not be familiar with them?!

The memory of my first review of the Starlight Senior Citizens' Smart Car is still as vivid as yesterday.

The words fell.

Yang Li also froze on the spot.

A surge of emotions welled up within me.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I'm suddenly struck by the fact that things are different now!
