21: Chapter 21 Shocks the Entire Industry
"Haha, as expected of our President Wang, his moves are truly imposing!"
"With so many production lines, why worry about Hongqi not being able to stand tall again?"
All the workers cheered in unison at this moment.
Among them, many were old employees of Hongqi.
With so many production lines entering the factory, this meant that Hongqi would not go bankrupt.
And they could continue with their jobs.
It wasn't like before, when they were anxious every day, fearing that Hongqi would announce its closure at any moment.
Among everyone, none were more excited than the production directors of each workshop.
Right now, Hongqi Group had around a hundred thousand orders.
Previously, all of Hongqi's production lines added up to only two!
And they were extremely aged; at the end of the year, the production capacity wouldn't exceed one hundred thousand at most.
But now, five production lines had been added directly!
With these five production lines running at full throttle, these orders could be completed in two months at most!
The bustling noise of large trucks constantly echoed throughout the factory.
According to the system's efficiency, it could actually be completed in an instant.
However, to avoid suspicion, Wang Xiuming still took one day.
Looking at the new production lines, Wang Xiuming nodded, feeling quite satisfied.
Although they couldn't compare to the latest German production lines, they weren't far off.
Next, he would arrange for Hongqi's employees to work tirelessly, keeping the lines running without pause; it would only take two months.
As for Qian Weiyi, he was still staying in the factory, keeping an eye on the installation of the production lines.
Although the crane production line had been installed, according to Qian Weiyi, it still needed to be modified.
Therefore, the cranes could not be produced in the short term.
Especially regarding the procurement of some crane materials, which was very time-consuming.
The materials needed were too numerous and complex; it was very tedious.
Most importantly, there was a portion of materials that couldn't be bought through normal channels.
Even with the connections of Wang Xiuming's father, it would take a long time.
According to Qian Weiyi, perfectly replicating the crane, even without the neural control system, was very difficult given current technology.
However, Wang Xiuming was not in a rush.
In just one short month, the xiaolong s21 had become a hit across the internet; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a household name.
Previously, those bloggers who were ranting about the xiaolong s21 on the internet had all vanished.
On one hand, it was because of the netizens; on the other hand, it was the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of Li Yuan and Wang Xiuming.
Especially that leader, Watermelon Brother.
Even his video account had disappeared.
He didn't even have the qualifications to participate in any events.
Watermelon Brother also knew that he had blown this incident out of proportion, and it couldn't be calmed down at all.
His reputation was completely ruined.
The only way now was to wait for the heat to die down.
After all, the internet has no memory.
Now, more netizens wanted to know which car company had paid off Watermelon Brother earlier.
Although many people had guessed it was Zhonglin Automotive.
But no one dared to say it.
Especially those bloggers, who kept their mouths shut tight.
Offending Wang Xiuming and Li Yuan was one thing, but if they offended their own financial backers, they really wouldn't be able to make a living.
Every day, orders for Hongqi's xiaolong s21 were increasing.
As for the dongfeng 21a, order growth was very slow, basically only one order every four or five days.
But this was already considered a lot!
After all, it was a supercar, and people with that spending power were still in the minority.
Not to mention that this car still had some flaws.
After one month, orders for the Hongqi xiaolong s21 had already exceeded 200,000.
When Hongqi Group announced this sales data.
It was no less than an earthquake in the entire industry!
The new month was the time for major car companies to truly showcase their capabilities!
Because all car companies would choose this day to announce their vehicle sales data.
It was useless to shout loudly at other times; no matter how much promotion there was, ultimately, it came down to sales figures!
Only by revealing these sales figures could a company show its true strength!
The popularity of the xiaolong s21 online almost made all car companies question their existence.
This was just a new energy vehicle, it had nothing, and in every aspect, it had a significant gap compared to fuel vehicles.
But why was it that this kind of car could reach such a level on the internet!
And even gain the love of so many people.
This was simply unreasonable!
Of course, many people were also craning their necks to see.
How many xiaolong s21s Hongqi had actually sold this month.
At noon, the official Hongqi website was officially updated!
On it, it displayed the sales of the Hongqi xiaolong s21 for this month.
More accurately, it was for a period of 25 days.
Counting from the time Hongqi exhibited the xiaolong s21.
146,891 units.
The announcement of this data dropped everyone's jaws.
Toyota, Kyoto Headquarters.
As the current hegemon of China's low-end automotive industry, Toyota had always focused on the production of fuel vehicles, and under their banner, there were naturally many products with good reputations.
Among them, the two most important products were Toyota and Lexus!
One focused on the low-end market, and the other focused on the mid-end market.
Especially Toyota, which had a very high reputation worldwide; since its founding, it had almost consistently held the top spot in car sales rankings.
Up until now, it had been seventeen or eighteen years.
Even at its lowest, monthly sales were over 50,000.
"President Zhang, this is the sales data you requested regarding Hongqi's new energy vehicles for this month."
In the minimalist office, the person in charge of Toyota in the China region looked slightly solemn, with files waiting to be reviewed in front of him.
And behind him, an assistant was holding a document.
"Is that so? Have you seen it? Tell me about it."
President Zhang rubbed his temples, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he asked.
Regarding this Hongqi xiaolong s21, from the first moment he saw it, he had an inexplicable feeling.
Of course, it wasn't liking it.
Rather, he felt that it seemed like this was Toyota's enemy.
This was Zhang Huanli's first thought at the time, and then he felt it was ridiculous.
How could that be?
A company on the verge of bankruptcy, their enemy?
What an international joke!
However, Zhang Huanli still paid a little more attention to Hongqi.
He had only instructed his assistant a few words, asking him to bring Hongqi's sales data for a look.
Perhaps this little guy would give him some surprises.
Looking at the secretary's expression, it seemed that this nearly bankrupt Hongqi was actually doing quite well.
It just so happened that Toyota was also planning to enter the new energy vehicle market.
Hongqi's xiaolong s21 would be a very good case study.
Perhaps it would give him some new ideas.
"President Zhang, this month—no, it's 25 days—Hongqi has sold a total of over 146,000 cars."
