Chapter 72 Storm No. 1: A Specialist in Dealing with Any Dissent!
Foggy city, mountain city.
This is a city with a magical topography.
To get straight to the point, you have to climb a hill once you leave the house.
Navigation sometimes fails here, because you never know if you're on the first or tenth floor. The roads spiral upwards like a roller coaster, layer upon layer.
Wang Yong rode a silver-gray vehicle and came to a steady stop at a traffic light intersection.
He was about to cross the road to the old street on the other side, where several long-established car dealerships were located.
The vehicle he was riding was the new ace of the Windspeed Company—"Storm One".
In a mountainous city like this, full of steep slopes, ordinary electric vehicles are just scrap metal; only the "Storm One," equipped with a powerful engine, can traverse flat terrain with ease.
Here, it's no exaggeration to say that if you ride a regular bike, you'll have to get off and push it for half the distance.
As a native of Chongqing, Wang Yong used to be a key sales representative for Legend Network, and he had explored every nook and cranny of this area.
He knew exactly which street had internet cafes and which alley had car dealerships.
This time, after transferring to Fengchi Electric Vehicles, he transformed into the head of ground promotion for the mountain city region.
Although he had recruited more soldiers under his command, he still preferred to personally lead the charge on the front lines.
After all, the commission for each new distributorship goes straight into their pocket.
The green light comes on.
Wang Yong turned the throttle, and Storm One emitted a light buzzing sound, instantly darting across the road and stopping in front of a shop called "Shunfa Auto Shop".
"Boss, make your fortune! Busy, huh?"
The shop owner, who was inflating his bicycle tires, heard the sound, looked up, saw a person on an electric scooter, and warmly greeted him: "Need repairs or tire patching?"
Wang Yong glanced at the mountain bikes filling the shop, smiled, and offered her a cigarette: "I don't repair bikes, I'm here to bring you a path to wealth."
The boss paused for a moment, looked at Wang Yong suspiciously, and didn't say anything.
Wang Yong wasn't embarrassed. He patted his car and got straight to the point: "Boss, I think your shop has an excellent location. Would you be interested in clearing out some space to sell electric bikes?"
Upon hearing this, the shop owner chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "Brother, you're from out of town, right? Selling electric bikes in a mountain city? Don't be ridiculous."
"This terrain is terrible, all slopes and ridges, electric bikes can't climb it at all. People have tried before, and ended up losing everything. This thing is just industrial waste here, nobody wants to buy it."
Wang Yong was prepared and confidently smiled, "Those cars before were indeed rubbish, but my car is different."
"Boss, this bike of mine is equipped with a high-speed motor imported from the United States, it's incredibly powerful. Let alone riding it alone, even with a strong man like you, climbing that long hill by the gate will be a breeze."
"Moreover, it can reach a top speed of 45 kilometers per hour, which is faster than a bus!"
"45 kilometers? And it can carry people uphill?"
The shopkeeper's eyes widened in disbelief. "Brother, you're exaggerating, aren't you? This slope is at least thirty degrees; even a motorcycle would have to floor it. You think your electric scooter can handle it?"
Wang Yong exhaled a smoke ring and chuckled, "Whether it's bragging or not, we'll find out by trying it. I'm a local too. If this bike isn't up to par, would I dare ride it all over town? I'd be exhausted."
"How about it, boss? Dare to come up and have a go? I'll show you around."
The boss's curiosity was piqued.
Although he had a prejudice against electric vehicles, the young man in front of him spoke with great conviction, and the vehicle did indeed look sturdy.
"Alright! Let's give it a try! If you can really carry me up Hero's Slope, I'll be impressed!"
"Okay, get in the car!"
Wang Yong greeted him readily.
The boss didn't hesitate and plopped down in the back seat.
"Hold on tight!"
Wang Yong gave a reminder and then suddenly twisted the throttle with his right hand.
The powerful torque burst forth instantly, and the car didn't roar as the boss had expected, but instead nimbly darted forward.
Upon arriving at the famous steep slope, Wang Yong did not slow down at all and charged straight up it.
Like a tireless beast, Storm One carried two adult men, steadily climbing with no sign of slowing down.
Upon reaching the top of the hill, the boss was completely convinced, clicking his tongue in amazement: "Wow, this car is really something! It's incredibly powerful!"
Wang Yong rode the bike back to the shop entrance and asked with a smile, "How's it, boss? The power is undeniable, isn't it? Want to get a few to put in the shop and try them out?"
The boss circled the car several times, as if looking at some rare item.
He took the cigarette Wang Yong offered again, lit it, took a deep drag, and finally relented: "Okay, let's get two to test the waters."
Wang Yong was overjoyed and pressed his advantage: "Don't worry, if you can't sell them, you can take them away anytime. We offer full refunds and exchanges, and we will definitely not let you lose money."
"And this is genuine American technology. It's all over TV these days, GG is a huge thing."
"Alright! With that kind of drive uphill, I think it'll work!"
In this way, relying on its unparalleled product strength, Storm One forcefully broke through the "forbidden zone for electric vehicles" in the mountain city.
Wang Yong's strategy was simple and brutal: Don't believe me? Then take it out for a spin, let it climb a hill and see.
Facts speak louder than words.
In a city where you have to climb hills to even step outside, an electric vehicle that can actually climb hills is an absolute necessity.
Furthermore, the high profits—the money earned from selling one Storm One is equivalent to the money earned from selling ten bicycles.
After tasting the benefits, car dealership owners went to great lengths to promote their vehicles.
Soon, Storm One spread like wildfire throughout the mountain city.
......
Not only the mountain city, but also Chengdu, which has a similar terrain, was quickly captured by "Storm One".
For residents of these two cities, an electric vehicle that can actually climb hills is a lifesaver for getting around.
In Beijing, Qingdao, Changsha and other places, the offensive of Storm One was equally devastating.
Other competing products are either as slow as an ox pulling a cart or struggle to climb even a gentle slope. Compared to a "performance monster" like the Storm One, they are practically being publicly executed.
Although the price is a few hundred yuan more expensive, ordinary people have their own judgment: spending a little more money for peace of mind and speed is worth it!
end of August.
Chen Feng drove to Minhang to listen to Zhang Qiang's monthly report.
"President Chen, the battle report is out."
Zhang Qiang excitedly handed over a report: "As of August 20th, our Storm One has successfully planted its flag in seventeen key cities."
"Shanghai remains a stronghold, selling a record-breaking 5,800 units in 20 days. Chongqing and Chengdu followed, contributing 2,700 and 2,500 units respectively."
Pointing to the data, Zhang Qiang's voice rose several octaves: "In the first twenty days of August alone, total sales in seventeen cities exceeded 31,000 units!"
"Sales revenue exceeded 80 million, and net profit... conservatively estimated at around 50 million."
Upon hearing this number, Chen Feng nodded in satisfaction.
With the emergence of economies of scale, the cost per vehicle has been further reduced to less than 600 yuan. In addition, without middlemen taking a large cut, the profit margin of Fengchi electric vehicles is indeed frighteningly high.
At this rate, it's a sure thing that revenue will exceed 100 million in August.
Holding the third money-printing machine that generates over 100 million yuan a month, Chen Feng was in a very good mood.
"What about production capacity?" Chen Feng asked, putting down the report. "With so many orders, don't let me down."
In order to cope with the surge in sales, Fengchi had to outsource some orders to contract manufacturers. Otherwise, relying solely on its own production lines, the machines would be smoking and it wouldn't be able to produce anything.
Zhang Qiang immediately replied, "The main structure of the new workshop has been completed, and the equipment is being installed these past few days. It is expected to be ready for commissioning and official production by early September."
"Our production capacity will double by then, which will be enough to handle the peak sales season of September and October!"
