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

Chapter 94 Whoever is stronger is the true master!

This research and development project was not particularly difficult for them.

Because the fast charging modules in new energy vehicles and the fast charging modules in charging piles have strong commonalities in their underlying technology.

If you can develop a vehicle fast charging module, then you can also develop a high-power charging pile with "multiple modules in parallel".

Ok.

Why do I feel like people are getting more and more enthusiastic about reverse engineering lately?
Sun Pengfei sensed something strange.

But soon, it didn't matter anymore.

In his opinion.

This was simply to save on early-stage development time.

Based on their experience, after multiple reverse engineering attempts, they are often able to develop better solutions.

This feeling is wonderful, and it fills them with confidence in improving research and development!

If they actually meet in the market, who knows who will look like whom?
Whoever is stronger is the true master!

……

After finishing up the internal R&D matters.

Xu Yi leaned back in his chair, finally able to relax.

He's been busy with both R&D and integration lately, keeping him incredibly occupied.

Fortunately.

The overall direction for the company's development has finally been set.

Xu Yi dozed off until 2 p.m., thoroughly enjoying the tranquility.

until.

"Mr. Xu, the people from the TV station will be arriving this afternoon."

Yu Nian's voice broke the silence.

"A TV station? What TV station...?"

Xu Yi opened his eyes, his expression as if he hadn't reacted yet.

"You've forgotten that when the local government investment company left, it promised to promote Xingchen Automotive as a leading local industry..."

"If it's not a TV station interviewing us, is there any other way?"

Seeing that Xu Yi looked like he hadn't woken up yet, Yu Nian couldn't help but laugh and remind him.

This year.

Developing the economy is the overarching theme.

Any excellent industry that can bring GDP to the local area will receive support and resources generously.

In addition to that, there is official publicity.

No other meaning —

It's just that the place wants to show off.

As long as entrepreneurs are capable and successful, and can drive industrial upgrading and development, then special interviews and official publicity will follow one after another, all of which can be broadcast on CCTV!
Many memorable scenes from interviews with entrepreneurs were created during this period.

Things like "a small goal of 100 million yuan", "the boot screen of Gree phones must feature me", and "we'll give you a raise, but we also need to consider whether the industry can handle it"...

There was basically no script rehearsal.

The host asked random and sharp questions, and these entrepreneurs, standing at the forefront of the times, answered them as they pleased.

"Is it from CCTV or a local station?"

"CCTV..."

Why are CCTV reporters here?

"They said there would be a program focusing on the new energy industry."

……

Xu Yi was no longer sleepy.

It's really happening.

The country's attention to the new energy industry is evident to all, and Xingchen Motors, as a newly emerging local enterprise, has recently attracted local attention.

Thinking about it this way, it makes perfect sense.

In their early development stages, both BYD and CATL were interviewed by CCTV.

As the CEO of Xingchen Automotive, I should seize this opportunity to expose the brand.

……

Two hours later.

At the company entrance, Xu Yi and his group of senior executives were greeted by two groups of people from the television station.

One group was from a local television station, who came to film the factory and its production process. The factory's manager, Zheng Tie, led the team to receive the filming crew.

And another batch.

It was a program team from CCTV that came to conduct an official interview with Xu Yi and the emerging car manufacturing company.

"Mr. Xu, I am Li Yufei from CCTV. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm here today mainly because there's an episode of 'Economic Half Hour' that focuses on exploring the new energy industry and manufacturing."

The conference room had been simply set up as the interview location for this short program. We had just sat down...

The experienced female host began her speech with a smile.

"Hello, host." Xu Yi nodded in response.

Upon hearing this, Li Yufei, the host, smiled again, "President Xu, this is just a simple industry interview, you don't need to be so reserved."

"Uh, am I being reserved?" Xu Yi looked himself over, but there was nothing wrong with him.

hiss……

Is there a problem?
He's not nervous, is he?

“Of course, we’ve interviewed many domestic entrepreneurs, and you’re the only one who doesn’t cross his legs and is also the most neatly dressed.” Li Yufei pointed to Xu Yi’s attire.

"..."

Xu Yi's expression faltered slightly.

He had indeed made some preparations.

After all, they were facing the gaze of the entire nation. Thinking back to the famous moments of those entrepreneurs in the past, it seemed a bit deliberate on their part.

That said.

Xu Yi gradually relaxed.

have to say.

The CCTV host has a great way of speaking, and it's easy for people to relax from the very beginning.

Seeing this, the female host smiled knowingly.

"So, shall we begin the interview?"

"it is good."

……

"Why did you initially choose to make cars in the 5 yuan price range for daily commuting?"

"Because we don't have the money, I originally wanted to make cars worth 200,000 or 300,000, but the research and development funding wasn't enough..."

……

"As the owner of Xingchen Motors, what are your insights into selling a low-priced new energy vehicle so well? What successful experiences can you share with society and others for reference?"

"Because our cars have higher specifications than other cars, and we sell them for a lower price."

……

The questions asked so far were all standard ones.

As for Li Yufei, the host, she was gradually surprised by the "straightforward" young entrepreneur in front of her.

prior to.

The big business leaders she interviewed all had a smug, arrogant air about them.

What they say is all about showing off or making outrageous and exaggerated personal statements.

But she found Xu Yi to be a very down-to-earth person.

He gives off a very simple and unpretentious vibe from head to toe.

He will answer whatever you ask him.

They weren't even bothered to come up with extra excuses.

Take, for example, the issue of building an entry-level car that costs 50,000 yuan.

If you were to ask other entrepreneurs, why do you manufacture low-end, entry-level products?

Other entrepreneurs would certainly answer that.

They came up with a whole bunch of sanctimonious reasons.

Or it could be about how difficult and challenging things were at the beginning, highlighting one's personal abilities.

But Xu Yi is different.

A simple, unadorned "I have no money" made even a seasoned CCTV host like her a little flustered.

No money to build a factory! No money for research and development!
That's just how real it is!!
...

joke.

Xu Yi had seen many memorable moments of entrepreneurs.

When faced with these very "leading" questions, it's still the kind that requires going on CCTV.

Who knows, if I'm not careful, I might be dug up and whipped in my grave a few years later.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these CCTV hosts are all very polite and seem like "Mr. Nice Guys".

The questions asked were actually quite artistic.

If you're not careful, you can easily fall into a ditch.

Even someone as emotionally intelligent as Jack Ma has fallen for this trick.

These hosts are actually quite cunning!
