I just joined the inspection department, and the whole country is in a panic.

For Taohai County now, the priority is stability, until the new industrial park is completed and put into operation.

Once it is put into use, the economy of Taohai County will improve!

After returning from his inspection of Taohai County, Yang Wen went to several other counties for research and investigation over the next week.

He promptly urged local officials to address the problems that arose in these areas.

He also immediately brought up some of the problems he discovered and asked local officials to correct them.

Time flies.

The second half of the year has arrived in the blink of an eye.

at this time.

The headquarters of Lanxing Automobile Co., Ltd. has officially moved to Liuhai City.

Of course, it's a temporary headquarters building that's being rented.

After all, their new company's headquarters building is still under construction in the industrial park!

We will officially move in only after the factory and other facilities are completed.

That was the day.

Bluestar Automobile Co., Ltd.'s first car has been launched.

It is a sedan.

Pure electric vehicles.

The range is approximately 400 kilometers.

The price ranges from 7.9 to 9.9 yuan.

There are no range-extended engines.

A press conference was also held.

However, not many people paid attention to it.

After all, these days, new car manufacturers are emerging one after another.

But only three or five can truly be considered as creating a new force!

Moreover, the specifications and configurations of the new electric vehicle launched by Bluestar Automobile Co., Ltd. do not offer any advantages over other pure electric vehicles from various brands.

They're pretty much evenly matched.

A month passed quickly.

The sales figures for the first month are in.

A total of 289 vehicles were sold!

Sales were dismal!

In the conference room.

President Lan's expression darkened slightly.

However, he still tried his best to appear calm.

“Our sales in the first month were far from ideal. We expected to sell at least 1000 vehicles, but now…” Mr. Lan sighed slightly.

"Mr. Lan, our first car this time is actually a test car. Putting it on the market is just to test the waters."

"Our car is priced similarly to those with the same configuration, but we are, after all, a new car company, and this is our first car. Given the same configuration and range, most consumers will naturally prefer to trust big brands and will definitely be willing to buy electric vehicles from major manufacturers."

"This is a consumption habit, a comparison of consumption!"

"We have no advantage right now!"

"As it turns out, this is pretty much what we expected!" Several senior executives expressed their opinions.

Mr. Lan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

That means I agree with what these people are saying.

Their battery technology has recently achieved a major breakthrough.

It is estimated that mass production can begin in two or three months.

These new batteries are intended for use in the second new car.

The range will be up to 850 kilometers!

Yes, that's right!

It can travel up to 850 kilometers on pure electric power.

This is the range under various road conditions.

In other words, this is based on a comprehensive usage scenario that considers urban areas, highways, and rural roads. A single charge can provide a range of approximately 850 kilometers.

If you're driving on the highway, you can go up to 1200 kilometers!

It's been tested!

It's not like what Xiaomi boasts, claiming a pure electric vehicle range of 800 kilometers, but in reality, owner tests show that this is just an exaggeration; the actual range is only between 400 and 500 kilometers.

However, once Mr. Lan's new battery technology is installed in the second new car, the overall range will be a solid 850 kilometers.

That is, about 800 kilometers.

For Xiaomi, their actual range is only 400 to 500 kilometers.

This is a very awkward point.

If you're driving on the highway during holidays, it might not be enough.

But what about a range of 800 kilometers?

This range is comparable to that of a gasoline car.

I'm not worried at all about any problems that might arise from traffic jams during holidays.

With a range of 800 kilometers, there's no need to queue for charging on the highway anymore.

The key is.

How much does a certain brand of rice cost?

More than 200,000 yuan a car.

A car costing over 200,000 yuan can have such a long range.

But what if their new battery technology has an 800km range and sells for around 100,000 or a little over 100,000?

This is definitely a selling point that will make it a hit product!

none of them!

Thinking of this, President Lan felt a sense of anticipation and confidence.

"Yes, our first car was indeed a test model to see how the market would react, and it turned out to be pretty much what we expected." President Lan nodded.

"That means that for consumers, even if our battery life is slightly better than others in the same price range, they certainly don't want to be guinea pigs!"

"Our first new car has a range of 400 kilometers, which is a real and solid figure. Its pure electric range is comparable to that of Xiaomi."

"We'll know once we use these cars."

"We can do some public relations, some publicity, and some comparisons in this area!"

"In addition, let's lower the price. First, we'll lower it by three thousand, then five thousand, and finally two thousand, for a total reduction of ten thousand. We'll use the price reduction to attract a group of consumers," General Manager Lan decided.

"This is fine."

"If we lower the price by 10,000 yuan, our range will be far superior to other models in the same class that cost 100,000 yuan."

"Many pure electric vehicles priced at 100,000 or 70,000 to 80,000 yuan only have a true range of about 200 to 300 kilometers."

Second month.

Despite Bluestar Auto's price reductions, sales remain sluggish.

Only about 350 vehicles were sold.

……

Liuhai City.

In the conference room.

"Secretary Yang, Lanxing Automobile Company's first car has been on the market for two months. 289 cars were sold in the first month and 350 cars were sold in the second month."

"This number is absolutely appalling! I reckon their previous production base could have done it with just half a day's work." Zhuo Wen looked at the data with a pained expression.

The other party's first production base was naturally not in Liuhai City.

But their production base probably doesn't need to operate much.

Have no idea.

If there are no sales, what's the point of starting production?

Who will buy the cars that are produced?

Therefore, Lanxing Automobile Co., Ltd.'s second production base, which is located in Liuhai City, is five times larger than the other party's original first production base!

But even if it's completed, will there be any construction work to begin?

Based on the current car sales figures...

It is estimated that this second automobile production base will be completed but will not even need to be put into operation.

Why put it into use?

Would you hire a group of employees to swat mosquitoes on the production line?

"Did we misjudge this company?"

Everyone said something to me.

They were all worried about this Blue Star Automobile Company.

After all, the results for the first car are out now, and they're terrible!
