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

Chapter 311 Traffic Siphon
On Media Day.

Articles and short videos about the opening of the Capital Auto Show appeared online.

This section contains a large number of advertorials and brand promotions, as well as revelations from official media and car reviewers.

Many netizens who follow auto shows are already used to the onslaught of massive amounts of "information".

But when I saw those vulgar headlines on Toutiao, I couldn't help but be "moved".

[Shocking! Iron Man appears at the Capital Auto Show media day! Summoning a mech with his own body!]

...

"What a bizarre title!"

Zhou Yixiong is a photography enthusiast. He booked tickets for the Capital Auto Show to photograph the cars and models on site, and also to try his luck in capturing photos of business tycoons at the public event, in order to enrich his personal blog.

While browsing the media day news in the taxi, he immediately spotted the one that was most "Tang".

"These are such outdated sensational headlines, even jumping on the Iron Man bandwagon! Can't they learn from joint venture car companies and come up with some understated yet sophisticated advertising slogans?"

Zhou Yixiong was speechless.

He believes that domestic media are still in a low-level and intellectually deficient stage when it comes to marketing.

Look at the foot traffic and natural discussion at joint venture luxury car companies every year; they are at least several times more than domestic brands. This gap cannot be bridged by just using "Tang-style" headlines.

Despite saying that, he still clicked on the video title.

But then.

The person was stunned.

"Holy crap... this title is actually a documentary!!"

Zhou Yixiong blinked incredulously.

He saw something.

In the scene, the young man simply reached out his hand at a cool, edgy mecha-style concept car, and the entire car lit up with its cool, robotic breathing lights, responding to the light...

Followed by.

And that scene that only appeared in science fiction.

This thing can even turn around on the spot.

……

The ability to summon with a raised hand and turn around on the spot has a remarkably advanced impact on consumers of this era.

Despite Xingchen Automotive's extensive promotional efforts at the press conference and online.

However, there are countless owners of gasoline-powered cars who are completely unaware that modern electric vehicles already have a "wireless summoning" function.

Zhou Yixiong is one of them.

When he watched the entire video.

He just stared blankly with his mouth slightly open, but he didn't feel much shock.

Instead, he suddenly became absent-minded.

A feeling of itch arose in the cerebral cortex, which was a result of long-held preconceived notions and perceptions being strongly challenged by new ideas.

It evoked a slightly unbelievable feeling, tinged with a bit of doubt.

Zhou Yixiong took a deep breath.

When did domestically produced new energy vehicles develop to this point?
When exactly?
Last year, when he came across jokes about Xingchen Motors, people were still using popular memes like "overseas old man's car" and "performance beast Xingchen mini". This year, however, the jokes have been replaced by more sophisticated ones like "refrigerator, color TV and big sofa".

He knew that technological development often involves leaps and bounds.

But this is just too damn abrupt!

He had never seen this feature on any foreign car before!
Foreign luxury cars, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, have never had this feature.

...

The comments section below has exploded and is now a hot topic of discussion.

"Awesome! This is the most stylish domestically produced supercar I've ever seen!"

"Wow, a watch that can interact with a car! This level of gesture recognition precision is something I've never seen from any smartwatch brand. Even the watches Huawei and Apple released last year couldn't do that, right?!"

"Can any bro explain how this U-turn is done? This supercar from StarCraft seems to have four wheels with different torque levels!!"

This video received a lot of exposure, garnering eight million views across the internet in just one day.

It's about to break ten million.

People are basically powerless against such visually striking images!

The car's exterior already has a strong visual impact.

When these two factors are combined, the traffic effect... or rather, the "program effect" undergoes a dramatic change.

"I don't know, but Xingchen has really come up with some cutting-edge technology this time. What happened to those people who said Xingchen only makes refrigerators, TVs, and big sofas?"

"This feature is pretty impressive, it seems like it'll burn through your tires, right? All four tires are clearly rotating at different speeds. If you drive it on a concrete or asphalt surface, how much wear and tear will it cause to the tires after a few times?"

"No, they can summon on the spot... and turn around on the spot. You're telling me about burnouts? This car looks like it's worth millions. Would someone who can afford this kind of car care about burnouts?"

"It's definitely a burnout, Xingchen Motors has really impressive features, but is it that we can't talk about the burnout issue?"

Ninety percent of people were shocked, while others discovered the blind spots.

That's just how the internet is; you can hear all sorts of things.

Even if you invented the sun, some people will still complain that the ultraviolet radiation is too strong.

Some netizens even tagged the founder of LeEco in the comments.

"Mr. Jia, come back to China! Domestic brands have really made a new energy supercar. Mr. Xu is inviting you back to China to experience it..."

"Does the Faraday FF91 have similar cutting-edge technology? Can you tell me now whether this car is technologically groundbreaking compared to Starcraft's previous cars?"

"Mr. Jia, stop peeking through the screen, we know you're here."

……

Inside a manor house in Los Angeles.

Jia Yueting stared at his phone screen, his composure completely shattered!

He was among the most interested people when Xingchen held its official car unveiling ceremony.

I wish I could book a plane ticket back to China and see for myself what Xingchen is up to.

Its popularity was stolen out of thin air.

He even dreamt about this car every night.

Now, as he finally saw the unveiling, an invisible pressure, like a mountain, pressed down on him, making it difficult for him to breathe and almost suffocating him.

Even now, Jia Yueting is still full of doubts.

How could this be?
He thought that the Starry Sky concept car should be incomplete, or even just a showpiece, like Faraday Future.

Anyone who has built a new energy supercar knows this.

Just how difficult is it? How complex is it? How long will the project take?

The Starry Sky concept car is so well-crafted, with even some cutting-edge technology features on display, that it doesn't seem like something that could be created on a whim in a short period of time.

In other words, Xingchen had already begun developing related technologies and designing the vehicle internally, and was secretly implementing the relevant plans.

And I just happened to run into it.

this moment.

Jia Yueting felt a sense of frustration, like a fake Liu Er bumping into the real Sun Wukong!
"The stationary turning function is too wasteful of tires, flashy but impractical, and has no real application! The straight-line summoning function has no technological sophistication for new energy vehicles; even a 200,000 RMB BYD or a 400,000 RMB Tesla can do it..."

Jia Yueting created a fake account.

I reported and blocked all the comments that tagged me.

He angrily joined the ranks of the "critics".

They were venting their pent-up frustrations.

……

Zhou Yixiong finally arrived at the Capital Auto Show.

They also arrived inside Hall W2.

He carried a camera worth tens of thousands of yuan in his bag, along with a 70-200mm telephoto lens with a large aperture.

The original plan was to spend half the time photographing the car models.

Anyone who has been to an auto show knows that the higher the level of the international auto show, the higher the quality of the models on public days.

This quality is far superior to what you can find at small auto shows.

But at this moment, that thought completely vanished.

This evolved into a strong desire to witness the "domestic mecha supercar" firsthand.

The video says that attendees can witness the on-the-spot turnaround performance in person.

There's also a chance to be selected as a lucky audience member to experience it firsthand.

As soon as Zhou Yixiong entered the venue, he was stunned by the huge crowd in front of him.

"Don't panic. Fortunately, Xingchen Motors is just an independent brand. No matter how much noise it causes, it shouldn't be too bad..."

The thought hadn't finished forming in my mind.

Immediately afterward, he felt a chill run down his spine and saw a long queue.

A huge display stand.

There isn't even a single car model.

Within the entire isolation zone, only one incredibly cool and stylish mecha supercar stood quietly, radiating an invisible aura.

then.

It was a spectacular scene of "endless chatter" and "a sea of ​​people"!
It was almost overflowing.
