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

Chapter 97 He was young, composed, unpretentious, and pragmatic...

prior to.

While searching for high-definition pornographic images online, he also stumbled upon some information about Xingchen Motors.

Regarding public opinion—

He could only say it was somewhat chaotic.

Some people say that Xingchen Automotive makes pretty good cars, which are inexpensive but also very durable and have high cost-performance ratios.

However, some people complained that this car brand cannot be called a domestic car brand at all.

This is completely lowering the image of domestic car brands!
Look at Xingchen manufacturers, what kind of cars did they make before? They produced a bunch of old people's cars, purely exploiting policy loopholes and cheating, mass-producing and selling these kinds of models on the road.

It's one thing to make a car for the elderly, but to make a high-quality replica is another!
—I can't bear to look!
Now things have gotten even worse, which has spurred a bunch of unscrupulous manufacturers to frantically imitate it. The rural market for electric vehicles for the elderly has developed to an extremely abstract level, with even outlandish products like the "ghost fire" electric vehicle for the elderly being created.

How much impact have you had on society? How much damage have you caused to traffic?

Don't you have any self-awareness?
As a manufacturer, we should be aware that the country does not encourage certain things!

The Star Mini, which was created later, received slightly better reviews.

The purchases were made by a slightly larger number of young people and urban audiences.

However, some industry professionals still offer their opinions.

This thing is an enhanced version of a "senior citizen's electric vehicle".

In conclusion: Xingchen Motors is just a company that makes electric cars for the elderly; it doesn't deserve to be called a domestic car brand at all!

……

Peng Gao didn't care about these things.

But he was also a little curious about what Xingchen Motors was thinking, doing so many outrageous things.

For other domestic car brands, this development experience is somewhat undignified.

Now that the industry has developed, everyone wants to move upmarket!
Domestic car brands also pay great attention to class and positioning, and are imitating the foreign approach of "luxury", "style" and "people-oriented car".

If you drive a car worth tens of thousands of yuan, you're considered low-end, and that's it for life.

If a car brand makes cars that cost tens of thousands of yuan, then you can forget about ever becoming a high-end brand. The brand image doesn't allow it. You should just start a new high-end sub-brand. Otherwise, consumers won't buy it.

Therefore, industry insiders believe that Xingchen Automotive will not amount to much.

Even in the eyes of traditional gasoline car owners, it's just a brand of electric vehicles for the elderly.

Ha ha.

It's supposed to be a young person's first car, but it's clearly a loser's first car.

But who would have thought?
In this interview program, Peng Gao met the CEO of Xingchen Motors.

……

He is very young.

A humble yet assertive attitude.

It seems they also know their brand's position in society.

...

He was very composed.

Even when faced with such a sharp and sarcastic question, he still gave a perfect answer.

……

"These people on the internet are still too extreme."

"Which company didn't grow from small to large? What's wrong with them making electric vehicles for the elderly? Making electric vehicles for the elderly isn't illegal..."

Rural residents also need affordable transportation, and those who manufacture electric vehicles for the elderly pay their taxes normally without uttering any shameless or exploitative remarks about workers. So what have those unscrupulous capitalists who have grown large done for workers and society?

Peng Gao got really emotional!
For some reason, he was infected by a strange emotion!
The key is.

These words are really fitting for the occasion.

His previous one-sided information completely overturned his view of Xingchen Motors, a domestic brand.

Oh shit!

So what if you drive a motorhome for the elderly!
It's not like it's harming society!
If I had money, would I be willing to drive a minivan for the elderly? It's just because that's the only option I have!
Just because I drive a low-speed electric car today doesn't mean I'll always be driving one tomorrow!
Today's nobody, but tomorrow's mighty warrior... will you still dare to look at me with the same eyes you used to have?!

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river...

……

"Wait a minute—if we edit this part into the video, it might go viral?"

Sitting in front of the computer, I almost got fired up.

Peng Gao suddenly realized the purpose of watching this recorded segment.

I picked up the mineral water bottle and took a small sip.

My heart stirred slightly.

He found that through this short interview, his attitude towards Xingchen Motors had really changed, and he even developed a strange sense of identification with it.

And he was looking at mobility scooters a while ago.

I looked at many domestic brands, but I couldn't find one I liked.

Also, I'm short on cash, and my car-buying budget is stuck at a level that's neither too high nor too low, around tens of thousands of yuan.

Young people are in a transitional period... so just get any car and drive it around, and you can change it later.

"How about I check out the Starry Night Mini tomorrow... It seems quite a few young people have bought it online."

The thought popped into my head.

Peng Gao pondered for a moment and decided to finish and upload the video he had on hand first.

In his view, this was excellent material, and he could edit together the previous "capitalist's outrageous remarks" with this segment to create a stark contrast.

Xu Yi felt very fitting to him.

Whether it's the cars they build, or the way they speak and the content of their speech.

And so, he began making this video.

They even thoughtfully added background voiceover to this video.

……

[Special Interview with Xingchen Automotive – How did an unknown person from humble beginnings rise to fame?]

"Family members, in my past videos I've reviewed many statements made by capitalists. They all share a common trait: they hold high positions yet possess despicable character; they wield vast sums of money yet are stingy; and they exploit human rights as if it's their right..."

"Today I want to talk to you about a car brand that has recently become popular online, a car manufacturer called Star Auto, and its founder."

"He is the initiator of counterfeit 'old man's cars,' a manufacturer widely recognized as inferior, a predator of the lower-tier market, and an adventurer openly skirting the edge of the law..."

...

He said we didn't have the funds for research and development, so we were making low-end cars.

He said that because we sell our products cheaply and with high-end features, many people buy them.

"He is simple and unpretentious, without any affectation."

"He is pragmatic and does not exaggerate or fabricate."

...

"I searched online and found that this is a manufacturer that takes car making and product quality seriously. The cars they make are of very good quality, have beautiful appearances, and are well-received by customers."

However, society has arbitrarily labeled it with negative reviews and as inferior...

"This makes me think. A manufacturer that makes cars normally and produces them seriously has created jobs, boosted production, paid taxes normally, and has not violated any laws, yet it suffers from discrimination."

"And aren't we ordinary people in low positions seen the same way by those in high positions? How can we ever escape this despicable behavior?"

……

"Faced with scrutiny—he said that his humble origins were not a disgrace..."

"Faced with doubts, he said that unknown people may well become famous in the future."

"Faced with criticism—he said, 'Whatever the people need, we at Xingchen will create it…'"
