In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love.

Chapter 366: What's the point of talking about plagiarism? This is a tribute to the classics

Some people actually do this.

The boss of Lixiang Auto is the founder of the largest automotive website in China and the creator of domestic automotive media and automotive topics.

It can be said that all the big names in the country’s automotive self-media come from his command.

The boss of Wei Lai is the founder of the earliest and largest second-hand car trading website in China.

The chairman of Xiao P Auto is also the founder of the UC platform. Yes, it is the birthplace of the Shock Department.

No matter how they cut off their relationship with the original enterprise, it just shows the importance of the original enterprise in disrupting the balance in car manufacturing.

So these people entered the automotive manufacturing industry and, as a new force, launched a dimensionality reduction attack on old car companies. Their greatest strength lies here.

All those smart gimmicks are put at the back of the list.

But from the perspective of these new forces in car manufacturing, in the past few years, they have been left behind by the latest trend of short videos.

Their way of expressing themselves through forums, websites and Weibo is obviously becoming outdated.

It’s time for the new three forces in the automotive industry to enter the market.

This is how Zi Xiaowei expressed his attitude while standing in the restaurant: "I'm not a salesperson who only knows how to deceive people in a live broadcast room, nor am I a car novice who only knows how to give orders based on his intuition. Today, I will give you a little glimpse of my rules of conduct..."

Chang Yueling obediently picked up some food for her mother: "This matsutake chicken soup is good, not spicy. How about I make you a bowl of stone pot rice noodles..."

Her mother, the second-largest individual shareholder in a multi-billion dollar enterprise, clearly didn't care about business: "Shut up! Leave me alone!"

He raced against time and observed his son-in-law intently.

Given the Chang family's position, they have seen countless young talents, which is definitely much more than what the Dai family can see.

I've never seen anyone in his twenties who is so arrogant and cocky.

Because being able to reach this level has basically isolated the brainless idiots. It is really rare to find such a guy who can be on an equal footing without relying on his parents.

Zi Xiaowei can rely on his child's mother: "First of all, Jingxi Live is currently one of the top five short video and live broadcast platforms in the country. I am the actual controller, and we want to build it into the best self-media base for car buying and maintenance in the country. Simply put, it is equivalent to owning our own brick-and-mortar platform. We can publish and promote various brands of vehicles however we want. We also have to be careful not to go too far and brag too much, lest others say we are unfair..."

He would never use these words in class, but just now he discovered that Lao Chang liked this tone when talking to some old brothers.

I used it skillfully immediately and received warm applause from the group of people, which made me feel close to them from the bottom of my heart.

I am even more excited about the content. Wow, this is indeed a powerful combination. Selling cars again will be like picking up money.

Zi Xiaowei flicked his second finger. "Actually, the outside world doesn't know this yet, but I have a nationwide publicity network that reaches every county and city. Those of you familiar with the dealerships here should have heard of this. There must be people in your area promoting Changjiang Automobile and Ella Automobile. This is the fundamental reason why our 4S dealerships across the country have been seeing such good visit rates recently. Is this costing the group company two or three million per month?"

Everyone laughed and applauded loudly. Changjiang Automobile spends 4 billion on advertising and promotion every year!
None of the sum total of them can produce as immediate results as these 20 or 30 million.

It's really a waste of money.

Even if some people have a very unhappy look on their faces, they probably wouldn't dare to confront this guy.

Because he sounded like the leader of some mysterious organization: "Okay, based on the information control capabilities of this center and 3,000 national outlets, we can clearly see that the only company that can compete with our national propaganda network is Coarse Grain Mobile, and they are also launching their first new car this year."

The atmosphere was already quite harmonious when someone chimed in, "They're a sports car, right? I heard a rumor through my connections that the people they poached from Good Luck are really pissed off over there."

Zi Xiaowei nodded. "Leaked images of their products have been appearing online since January. Given the nature of the internet industry, there are only two possible purposes for this: either a deliberate smokescreen to divert attention, or to gauge online reactions. As a brand that's never produced a car, I'm leaning towards the latter. The former isn't necessary."

Everyone in the restaurant was listening attentively. They were all experts with many years of experience in car manufacturing, but they had never seen such a frivolous Internet car manufacturing company, let alone a deep understanding of this approach.

It completely overturned their cognition.

Who would release a car to the public for inspection before it goes into production?

They don’t understand this way of releasing information.

This is where Zi Xiaowei's advantage lies. He doesn't have the narrow vision that comes with industry silos, and is more receptive to these internet tropes. "Well, whether the online discussion is about whether this car is a copy of the Porsche Taycan or the Tesla Model 3 is irrelevant. What matters is that their thinking is definitely plagiarism... or rather, extensive borrowing and paying homage to classics."

The audience erupted in disdainful laughter. Zi Xiaowei, however, immediately responded with criticism: "Don't laugh! Changjiang copied like this in the early days, and Dream Auto copied the entire lineup and model range, from sedans to SUVs to MPVs. A few years ago, the Porsche Steering copied to perfection. If they can match Changjiang's level of expertise in their cars, they'll be the winners. Don't underestimate any competitor who learns from others... for example, someone who's way ahead."

Some people still laughed out loud, but most of them really held it back, although they still wanted to laugh.

It's really funny that the two models are so far ahead in the eyes of experts.

But most of them held back and listened to the lectures attentively like students in cram school.

Teacher Zi was also very satisfied: "The factory that makes the Leading brand cars is in Jiangzhou, and we happen to have some connections that allow us to get in touch. We also knew about the collaboration between Yaoyao Leading and Jiangan Automobile on the Evita model very early on. This time, I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the prototype of the new car they are developing."

Everyone is more focused.

Zi Xiaowei ended up laughing himself: "It only took one look. I happen to have a Mercedes-Benz GLS in my garage, and it was unforgettable. You know what I mean?"

The entire restaurant erupted in laughter again, everyone was in a state of shock, but they weren't afraid either: "What can you copy out of that?"

"Pingqi directly used the original chassis, engine, and transmission to make the old GLS. These grandsons have the nerve to call it a special military supply..."

"In the end, it was sold for nothing. Who the hell would be stupid enough to buy a GLS with a flat-bottom badge?"

"Five hundred thousand more!"

Zi Xiaowei stopped laughing. "It's a price that's way ahead of the competition. 500,000, do you think anyone would buy it?"

As he said this, he raised his foldable phone to gesture.

The crowd suddenly fell silent again, and someone spoke up, "As long as the car's quality is good, people might actually buy it. The Yuanyao Leading brand is unrivaled right now, especially among those in their 40s and 50s who have the spending power. If you use a Yuanyao Leading phone that costs over 10,000 yuan, no one will call you an idiot, they'll just say you're a real man."

Zi Xiaowei nodded. "So, to sum up, the only ones truly capable of reaching cities and counties are Coarse Grain, with its strong marketing team, and Far Away, with its deep marketing sensibilities. That's what I meant when I said, besides us, the only two brands that can be considered competitors are the other car companies... I don't look down on anyone, I look down on everyone."

No one present dared to laugh at this joke!
Oh, Chang Yueling chuckled. She dared to play such an old joke. Her mother immediately hit her with chopsticks: "Why is this girl so stupid?"

The man was talking about something important, although she didn't quite understand.

When Zi Xiaowei saw Susanna holding her head and not daring to run, he guessed that she was beaten like this since she was a child and became Ruth.

Family education is very important. The Gold Medal Education and Training smiled and walked over to take the child away. Chang Yueling was so careless that she even dared to turn around and make a face at her mother with pride.

Everyone laughed and applauded even more enthusiastically. Chang Ma wanted to throw the stone pot and bowl over.

Zi Xiaowei took the child back to the front and sat down, continuing his story: "I used to be a tutor, a top tutor, specializing in helping parents take good care of their children. Ella and Yueyue were also children that everyone entrusted to my care."

Some people couldn't help but applaud. This sentence is really meaningful and weighty.

Old Chang clapped his hands in satisfaction, turned around and whispered to his wife with a smile, and Chang's mother also smiled.

Chang Yueling's eyes suddenly felt a little hot, and she didn't know what emotions were churning in her.

I sat up straighter, grabbed the arm of the person standing next to me and rested it on my cheek to suppress my turbulent emotions.

Zi Xiaowei had no choice but to express himself with one hand: "So I also know that I need to study well. What should I do? Copy the homework of the top students. Since the two companies I consider to be my rivals are using this method, I will copy them too... Of course, I have many years of experience with Changjiang Automobile. I can just copy the appearance of a slightly similar product. The purpose is to achieve and surpass similar products as much as possible. So I will directly copy the appearance of the best-selling six-seater car on the market, copy the product ideas of the most popular new energy vehicles, and copy the most mature design details. I will put them into the complete core of Changjiang Automobile. Add a marketing system that can rival these two companies, and we will definitely win!"

Oh, if I use my hands to gesture, the effect will be very good.

Now half of it was caught, and it looked like a stage conductor gesticulating aimlessly.

But it was precisely the sense of trust brought by that half that made his gesture so valuable.

All applauded.

At this time, everyone believed that Totoro could win.

Although they haven't seen the car yet.
