"You are really amazing. It's been an hour since you came back. I guess you went to buy water or produce water."

Outside the car exhibition hall, Liu Bin, who was now in third place in line, looked at Cheng Wei who had just returned and complained.

Cheng Wei didn't care. He took the bottle of mineral water in his hand and smiled, "Isn't this just right?"

"I told you I would be back within half an hour. If I was among the last wave of people who went in, what would you do then?"

“It’s impossible for you to have that, I’ve calculated it all.

Two hundred people go in at a time, and each round takes about half an hour. Do you think I was just standing there doing nothing?"

"You really are an expert in numbers," Liu Bin was speechless.

"One trip every half an hour? Each person can only watch for half an hour, what can you do with that?"

“No, it’s an hour.

The limit of people inside should be 400, but only 200 people came out and 200 people went in again."

Liu Bin looked at Cheng Wei in confusion and asked, "How did you know? How could the staff tell who had been in there for how long?"

Nodding to the staff not far away, Cheng Wei told them about his discovery, "Didn't you see that the stickers they gave out are green and purple?"

Liu Bin understood that when the time comes, he can just look at the stickers and do his job.

“You guys in finance have a keen eye for these details.

Hey, why is it only one hour? It’s not enough to see anything.”

Cheng Wei did not reply this time, but smiled mysteriously.

Soon the release started again and the two of them put on green stickers and queued up to enter.

"Hurry up, there's only one hour, can you walk faster?"

Ranked third, he is now behind many people because of Cheng Wei's slow and unhurried pace.

"Why are you in such a hurry? There's plenty of time."

"Brother, it's just an hour, not a day."

"Who said that? An hour is for others, we can stay here all day if we want to."

"Ok?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Cheng Wei carefully took out two purple stickers from his back pocket and raised an eyebrow at Liu Bin.

Liu Bin was shocked at first, then he slapped his head.

"Damn, why am I so stupid? Why not just ask the person who came out for two purple stickers?

I find that you are becoming more and more cunning, which is inconsistent with your image. Lin Yi said at the beginning that she liked your simple and honest nature. Do you have anything to do with these four words?

You guys who are into finance are really very cunning."

Lin Yi is Cheng Wei’s wife. She used to work in a kindergarten and now she is a full-time housewife.

"Go away, even looking at the cars can't stop you from talking."

They finally squeezed in and arrived at the Audi showroom, but when they got there, there were no good seats left. The entire showroom was packed with people.

"It's all your fault. You walked so slowly. Now I can only watch the big screen above my head."

"Why rush? Once these people leave, we can watch it up close."

"That's true." Liu Bin nodded but his eyes never left the big screen.

"The Audi etron-100 is really beautiful. Although it is not as big as the Audi 100, it is completely sufficient for home use."

"Which is prettier, the car or the person?"

"The car and the people..., what do you mean? I came here to see if the car is in good condition."

"Really? Would you like some paper?"

"What's it for?"

"Wipe the saliva from your mouth."

"I told you I'm not here to see anyone." This time Liu Bin's voice was much louder.

"Hey, what are you doing? Hello?"

Seeing Cheng Wei silently walking away five or six meters, Liu Bin didn't understand what was going on. However, when he saw the crowds of people around him looking at him, no matter how stupid they were, he understood.

"Brother, we are like-minded. Which one do you think is beautiful?"

Seeing a wretched face appear in front of him, Liu Bin left silently without any explanation.

"Why don't you say anything? I didn't expect you to be such a reserved and introverted type."

When Liu Bin came to Cheng Wei, he wanted to say a few words, but fortunately the young lady who was giving the explanation had already come on stage and the scene became quiet.

“Everyone, welcome to the launch of the world’s first mass-produced hybrid car, the Audi etrom-100.

As the world pays more and more attention to energy conservation and emission reduction, reducing pollution has become a topic that we are paying more and more attention to.

Cars have always accounted for a large proportion of carbon dioxide emissions. Against this background, the hybrid car that Audi has spent four years developing can finally be mass-produced.

Toyota began developing hybrid technology as early as the late 70s, but why was it possible for Audi to achieve mass production in just four years?

There are many reasons for this, the main ones being investment and technical issues.

In terms of investment, Toyota did not make large-scale investments in the first few years when it started to develop hybrid technology. It was not until the mid-to-late 80s when it achieved results that it began to invest large sums of money in research and development. The "G1994" project team established in 21 marked the peak of funding.

As for Audi, it has invested at least tens of millions of dollars every year over the past four years, so its research and development speed is naturally fast.

The most important thing is the research and development route of the hybrid powertrain. Toyota develops a series hybrid system, while Audi etron-100 uses a parallel hybrid system. Technically, Toyota is undoubtedly much more difficult.

The series hybrid system generally uses the internal combustion engine to directly drive the generator to generate electricity, and the generated electricity is transmitted to the battery through the control unit.

The battery then transmits the energy to the electric motor for conversion into electrical energy, and finally drives the car through the transmission mechanism.

In this connection mode, the battery is like a reservoir, except that the object to be regulated is not the amount of water but the amount of electricity.

During low-speed starting or stop-and-go driving, the internal combustion engine does not need to be started at all.

When the car reaches a certain speed, the internal combustion engine starts and charges the battery at the same time, without the need to install a separate charging device.

The parallel hybrid system involves two drive systems, which can work simultaneously or independently.

The advantage is that the structure is simple to develop and the cost is low. What is more troublesome than the series type is that it requires a charging device to charge itself.

Audi did not only develop the parallel type, in fact the Audi Group also studied the series type.

However, judging from the research and development progress, the series hybrid system cannot be mass-produced within three to five years, so the parallel hybrid system, which has achieved results, was brought out first.

At the booth, the beautiful tour guide was still introducing the product, and her voice was very pleasant.

“Our batteries use the latest lithium battery technology developed by Kirin Battery, and we have conducted a series of experiments such as high temperature, low temperature, and drop, aiming to create safe, reliable, and high-quality batteries.

Moreover, the battery capacity of our Audi rtron-100 reaches 2.8kwh, and the battery will not degrade even if the driving distance exceeds 30 kilometers.

In terms of electric motors, the Audi etron-100's motor speed can reach 7500r/min.

The transmission is a planetary gear continuously variable transmission developed by Aisin, which has higher transmission efficiency and opens a new era of automotive transmission technology."

Listening to the introduction on the stage, the audience below would cheer and exclaim from time to time, and of course there would be applause.

"The way you look at those long legs and short skirts and swallow your saliva is really obscene. We should at least pay attention to our image."

"You know shit. A car to me is like delicious food to you. Just try eating steamed buns and pickles for a few days in a row."

Eating steamed buns and pickles every day? Cheng Wei couldn't stand it before he came to Hong Kong Island, and it's even more impossible now. Just thinking about it makes Cheng Wei shudder.

"Well, if you put it that way I can understand how you feel now.

But having said that, this little sister is really pretty."

"Yes, it is..."

Liu Bin stopped in time and said angrily, "I said, I came to see the car.

I have decided and will wait for Audi etron-100.

It’s only half a year, I can afford to wait, I’ll make a reservation soon.”

Pre-sales of Audi Group's new cars exploded immediately, and the whole world was amazed and did not find it unreasonable.

Even though the price is as high as 4.8 US dollars, it still can't stop consumers' enthusiasm.

Audi stores around the world began accepting pre-orders from the first day of the show, and the share price soared to over HK$3700 billion.

When Audi released the Audi etron-100, global pre-sale sales reached 2.1 units on the first day, and the market value reached 4000 billion Hong Kong dollars, or 513 billion US dollars, within two days.

Even if someone says now that Audi Group can surpass AT&T's $561 billion and rank among the top ten companies in the world by market value, no one would be surprised.

With the help of Far Eastern media and the huge advertising expenses of Audi Group, Audi etron-100 has become the hottest topic nowadays.
