15: Chapter 15 Our Hongqi is the backbone of China's car industry.

"I believe many people are familiar with the history of Hongqi."

"Back in the day, we at Hongqi were known as the world's number one car manufacturer, having built the world's first car. At the time, it caused a global sensation!"

"Every day, countless people rushed from all over the world to purchase Hongqi cars, and many foreign automakers sent people to learn from us."

"But what about us? Did we hold anything back, even a little? We contributed selflessly; we made our own contribution to the development of the automobile industry for the entire world!"

"Later, Hongqi declined, and the Xia auto industry suffered an unprecedented blow, leaving Hongqi as the only remaining facade."

"For so many years, we, Hongqi, have never fallen, because we know that Hongqi is the backbone of the Xia auto industry, the face of the Xia auto industry!"

"We want to build a real car that belongs to the people of Xia!"

"We want everyone to be able to point at a Hongqi outside and tell others, 'This is the Hongqi of Xia!'"

"Wang Xiuming once said that even if he went bankrupt, he would never let Hongqi fall; even if he exhausted everything, he would build a real car for Xia!"

Old Jia's eyes were bloodshot, his expression agitated. Behind him, a huge projection suddenly appeared!

On it were the xiaolong s21 and the dongfeng 21a!

Old Jia pointed to the projection behind him.

"And this is the car that Wang Xiuming personally designed!"

"This is also the real car belonging to Xia that we, Hongqi, are presenting to all the people of Xia!"

"In order to give everyone a better experience and to ensure everyone can buy a car with a truly reasonable price and excellent quality, Wang Xiuming has poured his heart and soul into this."

"But even a car like this was bashed by a group of online streamers and influencers until it was worthless!"

Manager Jia's face was solemn, his expression dark, and his eyes flashed with anger.

"Originally, I had already notified the legal department of Hongqi Group to pursue this matter to the end!"

"But I was stopped by our CEO, the chairman of Hongqi Group, Wang Xiuming."

"He told me that we, Hongqi, are the backbone of the Xia auto industry, the facade of the Xia auto industry. We are not afraid of baseless accusations, and we are even less afraid of groundless attacks!"

"Because the public will tell us the real answer!"

By the end, Manager Jia was already teary-eyed.

His words spread throughout the entire exhibition hall.

Everyone in the exhibition hall was moved at this moment.

"This is the real Xia Hongqi! This is a national enterprise!"

"I knew it! How could the xiaolong s21 be that bad?"

"These influencers must have been paid off to say that!"

Many people looked excited, howling with enthusiasm.

Of course, some people remained clear-headed and asked.

"At the end of the day, how much does this car actually cost?"

"Since it's our Xia enterprise, they wouldn't just be selling sentimentality, right?"

For a car, what people care about most is the price.

Old Jia understood this very well.

His words just now were only to let everyone know what a real Hongqi is and to make those who didn't know better feel favorably toward Hongqi.

Now came the truly exciting moment!

"Previously, many people online thought our Hongqi xiaolong s21 would cost at least 80,000!"

"But I want to tell you, that's nonsense!"

"We, Hongqi, are a truly conscientious enterprise!"

These words made almost everyone look pleasantly surprised.

Could it really be around 70,000?

Although it might be a bit higher than the market price, with this configuration, it's already worth the money!

Old Jia held up four fingers in front of everyone.

"Look clearly, what number is this?"

"That's right, our low-end version of the xiaolong s21 is only 45,000!"

Boom!

As soon as the words fell, the huge projection behind him made a loud noise, and an extremely eye-catching number appeared!

The noisy atmosphere in the entire exhibition hall went completely quiet at this moment.

It was like a basin of cold water poured directly onto everyone's hearts!

45,000!

A moment later, countless people gasped.

"What the hell, 45,000?"

"That's not even enough to sell as scrap metal, right?"

"This is the 'pile of garbage' they were clamoring about online? This is the Hongqi that was 'treating us like fools'? If anyone dares to say that again, I'll pull their oxygen tube!"

"This is the real Xia car, this is the real national enterprise!"

"From now on, I am a die-hard fan of Hongqi. Whoever dares to bash Hongqi again, we'll see each other in the next life!"

On the huge projection, the price of 45,000 almost blinded everyone.

So what if the car is boxy?

It looks good!

So what if the soundproofing is bad?

It has a strong range!

So what if the suspension and cushioning are bad?

It has six airbags!

45,000—this string of numbers hit everyone hard.

For 45,000, you can buy a new energy vehicle produced by Hongqi!

At this price point, it beats all other new energy vehicles!

Purchase restrictions? License plate restrictions?

Get lost!

"Sales, where are the sales staff?"

"I'm buying it, I'll pay right now!"

"I want the top-of-the-line model, supporting our national automaker!"

"I want to contribute to Hongqi, I want to cheer for Hongqi!"

The entire exhibition hall exploded at this moment, with countless people shouting that they wanted to buy a Hongqi car.

At this price, they couldn't control themselves at all.

Who wouldn't love an enterprise like this?

Of course, many people also took out their phones directly.

"Damn that bald guy, you dare to smear Hongqi?"

"This group of influencers, you can tell they're no good; they should all be locked up for re-education!"

"Such a good car, are you blind?"

"You even dared to smear this? How much money did you take?"

"It's just because Wang Xiuming is magnanimous. If it were me, I'd sue you until you were bankrupt!"

At this point, everyone had turned from haters to fans, from passersby to fans.

After all, facts are the only standard for testing truth!

Only now did they realize how much malice those video bloggers had in the videos they posted back then.

Many people had even bashed Hongqi online earlier, which made them feel more or less guilty.

And now, in their eyes, the xiaolong s21 was simply a hot commodity!

Those who were already planning to buy a car had already paid the deposit.

Even those who hadn't planned to buy one shouted slogans of supporting domestic products and supporting Hongqi as they bought the car.

Everything was because the price was too low!

45,000!

For the current per capita vehicle consumption level in Xia, it was really too low.

It was practically dirt cheap!

"Old Wang, you were really right. This is simply like stinky tofu—it smells damn good!"

In the office, even Li Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Don't talk nonsense. Our Hongqi isn't stinky anymore!"

Wang Xiuming rarely joked with Li Yuan.

Now let's see how high the final orders can go.

He had taken a loan of 500 million from his own father!

But now, it was time to start the next step.

How could the xiaolong s21 alone satisfy him?
