132: The era of racing for everyone!

The headquarters building of Xia Auto Group.

Chairman Zhou Jianjun looked at the announcement released by the Xia Academy of Sciences and was grinning from ear to ear.

"Haha! It's a good thing I stood my ground back then."

"Otherwise, I reckon we would have really gone bankrupt and been liquidated this time."

"It's just a pity that we only hold a 5% stake!"

Zhou Jianjun felt a sense of regret in his heart.

Originally, the Xia Auto board of directors had intended to refuse investing in the star flying car.

It was he who had overridden the dissenting opinions and ultimately invested a sum of capital in the name of the Xia Auto Group.

Otherwise!

Today, he wouldn't be laughing; he wouldn't even have a place to cry.

After the star flying car was released.

All household cars on the market would no longer need to be sold.

At least that was the case in Great Xia Country.

As for the foreign markets, it would surely be the same in the future.

At the same time.

The conference room of Dongqi Group.

The general manager and the senior executives were gathered around the projector screen, their eyes filled with excitement.

"Haha! The R&D was finally successful."

"From today on, our Dongqi Group will take off directly."

The general manager was filled with excitement.

These past three months.

They had shut down all their automobile production lines.

Furthermore, they had put their employees on unpaid leave.

They had also engaged in various price reductions and promotional exports.

The losses were quite heavy.

But everything was worth it.

As long as the flying car was mass-produced, they would have absolutely no worries about sales.

They had already begun retrofitting their original automobile production lines, preparing to go all out in producing the star flying car.

When the day the star flying car went on sale arrived.

Dongqi's performance would take off right there on the spot.

As for the issue of profit.

There was absolutely no need to worry.

Even the 50,000 yuan budget-friendly version would be sold at cost.

But the subsequent luxury and tycoon versions were the ones that would be the most profitable.

Especially for subsequent exports, the price would be sold at over 10 times the original cost.

The profits would definitely be beyond imagination!

In Great Xia Country, any car company that had invested in the star flying car was popping champagne in celebration.

As for those small car companies.

They could just as well announce their bankruptcy or switch to making two-wheeled electric vehicles.

While the car companies of Great Xia Country were celebrating.

The international car companies were, on the contrary, a different scene altogether.

Across the ocean.

The headquarters of Eagle Ford Motors.

CEO Phelps looked at the announcement from the Xia Academy of Sciences, his brows slightly furrowed.

"A flying car launch event?"

"What is Great Xia Country planning to do now?"

He turned his head and asked the technical director beside him: "Tell me, has Great Xia Country really developed a flying car?"

The technical director's brows were tightly furrowed: "It's hard to say!"

"Previously, all major car companies in Great Xia Country chose to shut down all their traditional automobile businesses."

"Perhaps they really did develop it after all!"

If it were the technological level of Great Xia Country in the past.

He would have directly asserted that it was impossible.

But now it was different.

The technology of Great Xia Country had improved explosively.

They could even easily travel to and from the moon.

It was not impossible for them to release the technology for civilian use!

After hearing the explanation, Phelps's face darkened: "If it's true, then the entire automobile industry is going to change!"

"We had better prepare in advance!"

The technical director nodded, feeling a complex mix of emotions in his heart.

He could only pray now that the price of Great Xia Country's flying car was very expensive.

That it could not be popularized among the masses!

Only then would their car companies still have a way to survive.

On the other side.

Several car companies in Europe also held a joint emergency online meeting.

In the conference room, the faces of the heads of each car company were very grim.

The CEO of John Bull BMW said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, speak up! How are we going to deal with the impact of Great Xia Country's flying cars on us!"

"If Great Xia Country's flying cars are truly popularized on a large scale, we will all suffer a devastating blow."

A senior executive from Gaul Chicken Renault frowned and said, "I feel that they shouldn't be able to mass-produce them!"

The person in charge of Sunset Country's Jaguar Land Rover reminded them: "Have you forgotten about the mobile phone industry a few months ago?"

As soon as the mobile phone industry was mentioned.

Everyone in the entire meeting fell silent.

Back then, those mobile phone manufacturers had initially thought the same thing.

They thought that Great Xia Country could not mass-produce quantum chip mobile phones.

What was the result?

Not only could they mass-produce them!

They had even sold them to the whole world.

They had beaten Apple and Samsung so badly they didn't know which way was up.

Even the Eagle had wanted them to use political means.

To ban the import of Great Xia Country's quantum chip mobile phones.

But almost no country responded.

Only South Korea and the Eagle had banned sales.

Other countries were in an open market state.

The key was that the price was still 10 times the selling price within Great Xia Country.

And it was still in short supply.

They had originally thought it was just the mobile phone market.

They hadn't expected that now it was the turn of the automobile market.

With the mobile phone industry as a precedent.

They had to be prepared.

After a moment of silence, the BMW CEO suggested:

"I suggest we approach Great Xia Country's car companies to discuss the issue of export agency rights!"

"We will establish a new company, cooperate with Great Xia Country, and be responsible for the sales of their flying cars in the European region."

"This is our only chance to survive!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

...

And the most miserable ones were the car companies of Sakura Country.

Originally, due to power outages, their car companies had been unable to produce.

After a period of effort.

They had finally managed to solve the power problem.

Just as they resumed production.

They saw the announcement released by the Xia Academy of Sciences.

It made the car companies of Sakura Country feel like the sky had collapsed.

It was not just Sakura Country.

The car companies of South Korea were the same.

Car companies all over the world were thrown into panic by an announcement from the Xia Academy of Sciences.

...

The next day.

Nine in the morning.

The scene of the star flying car launch event.

Almost all the legitimate media in Great Xia Country had arrived at the scene.

Moreover, they had all started online live streaming.

The number of viewers in major live streaming rooms had all exceeded one million.

The one with the most viewers was the CCTV live streaming room.

The number of online viewers exceeded 100 million.

At the launch event scene.

All the media workers were filled with excitement.

"When will it start? Where is the flying car?"

"Could it just be a technical press conference? No physical product?"

"I don't know! It should appear when it starts, right!"

"I hope the price is under 200,000; I'll grit my teeth and buy one!"

The media workers looked at the empty stage and discussed among themselves.

At the same time.

The audience in the major live streaming rooms was also full of anxiety.

"I'm so anxious! Why hasn't it started yet."

"Where is the flying car? I want to see the flying car!"

"Hurry up and start! I can't wait anymore."

"Sob! So excited! We are about to enter the era of universal flying cars."

"I'm praying now that the price is a bit cheaper, so I can save up and buy one."

"Yeah! It would be best if they released a budget-friendly version like they did with mobile phones!"

"..."

All the audience members were full of anticipation.

Anticipation for the flying car.

Anticipation for the price.

For this kind of black technology product.

How they wished that, like mobile phones, they could also release a budget-friendly product.

At the same time, there were also many foreign netizens and personnel from foreign car companies in the live streaming rooms.

In their live streaming feeds, the flying car had not yet appeared.

"Could it be that Great Xia Country is releasing a smoke bomb?"

"I hope it's just a technical press conference!"

"God bless!"

A crowd of overseas car company heads were praying in their hearts.

However.

Their prayers were destined to be in vain.

Because!

All live streaming cameras suddenly shifted to the sky.

Boom!
