64: Chapter 64 What do you have to compare it to?

The only things left were the mid-range and high-end markets.

The mid-range market spanned from 200,000 to around 700,000.

Everything else was the high-end market.

Wang Xiuming's plan was to wipe out the entire mid-range automotive market in one fell swoop!

He wanted to show the Japanese car companies occupying the mid-range market what a true hegemon was!

He wanted all car companies to know that Hongqi was the most terrifying one!

Meanwhile, the Hongqi official website began updating.

In just three minutes, new news appeared on the Hongqi official website.

"As the only car company in Xia, Hongqi's goal has always been to consider all consumers."

"To make high-quality, affordable cars that consumers truly love."

"For some time now, many people have been asking about our new Hongqi models."

"Like the xiaolong s22 and shadow t1."

"This has made us sincerely feel the consumers' love for Hongqi, as well as the support of the vast people of Xia for Hongqi."

"To thank everyone, starting now, Hongqi is accepting pre-orders for these models."

The appearance of this news instantly went viral across the entire internet!

Before this, who knows how many people were eagerly waiting; after all, whether it was the xiaolong s22 or the shadow t1, they could be called the hegemons of this price point!

Everyone was looking forward to Hongqi's new models.

They all thought that Hongqi would wait until Toyota's new car release to go head-to-head with Toyota.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Hongqi started accepting pre-orders for the new models!

Moreover, there were also discounts for the new models on the official website!

Adding it all up, the price of a xiaolong s22 would be at most 45,000!

Even the highest configuration would not exceed 80,000!

"Hongqi is awesome!"

"Selling this kind of car at this price—this is the true face of Xia's car companies!"

"Compared to Hongqi, Toyota is completely not on the same level!"

"Look at Toyota's new energy vehicles, then look at Hongqi; Toyota is just a pile of trash!"

"Is this shadow t1 really a low-end car?"

"Damn, with this configuration, let alone a low-end car, I'd believe it if you said it was a million-dollar sports car!"

"Forget selling it for 120,000; I'd buy it even at 200,000!"

"Some people, while commenting, just went to order the car."

"Smart people have already opened the Hongqi APP."

The appearance of the xiaolong s22 was largely to seize the market from Toyota.

Wang Xiuming did not want his home base to be raided.

As for the shadow t1, that was Hongqi's signal for an offensive!

The shadow t1 was aimed at the post-80s and 90s in the consumer market.

These people were the largest consumer group in the mid-range market.

Especially the post-90s generation; a large portion of them had just made a name for themselves in society.

They had a certain level of purchasing power.

At this time, what they wanted most to do was, of course, buy a car!

The shadow t1 had both looks and strength.

Most importantly, it was cheap.

Consequently, after Hongqi released the news, consumers nationwide were in a frenzy.

Some even ran directly to a Hongqi dealership that very day.

Making a fuss about wanting to buy a shadow t1.

Qingcheng.

Cao Jianyan was already grinning from ear to ear.

The thing he felt most fortunate about now was securing the dealership spot from Hongqi.

And, he had directly monopolized the Hongqi agency in Qingcheng.

At the time, he had thrown half of his auto repair shop and half a lifetime of savings into Hongqi.

That was 10 million.

Unless Cao Jianyan stopped acting as a Hongqi agent, he couldn't get that money back.

Therefore, for Cao Jianyan, it was a matter of life or death.

The answer was obvious: Cao Jianyan had won!

Ever since he obtained the Hongqi agency rights in Qingcheng.

He deeply felt the charm and popularity of the xiaolong s22.

Many times, one even had to queue up to order a car.

Because the factory's production capacity couldn't keep up!

Many consumers' eyes lit up when they looked at the xiaolong s21.

Especially those new-generation families.

Initially, the xiaolong s21 was positioned as a grocery-getter, a car for children.

Now, Xia's support for new energy vehicles was growing larger and larger.

Coupled with policies like purchase restrictions, it almost made many people subconsciously choose new energy vehicles.

Therefore, in the short month since Cao Jianyan obtained the Hongqi agency rights.

He alone had sold 500 xiaolong s21s.

This directly earned Cao Jianyan 1.25 million!

In one month!

This didn't even count later maintenance and Hongqi's new models.

Think about other car companies; for a new car, they wouldn't even make a fraction of his earnings in a month!

And that was even including those gray revenues!

This formed a stark contrast.

What about when the consumer group came to Hongqi?

The moment they entered the store, they could see five words: "Service for the customer!"

Whatever wealth gap, whatever discriminatory treatment.

It simply didn't exist at Hongqi!

Even if you were a multi-millionaire, if you wanted to buy a car at Hongqi, you had to let those who arrived before you buy first!

Even if you were a beggar on the side of the road, as long as you arrived at Hongqi, you were a customer!

Everyone could receive Hongqi's best service.

Most importantly, after you bought a car from Hongqi, you would find that there were no price markups or various miscellaneous fees.

None of that at all!

This made all consumers unable to believe it.

In this day and age, are there still people who sell cars like this?

If they hadn't known the price of the xiaolong s21, they might have even thought they had walked into a Ferrari dealership and bought one.

Otherwise, how could there be such a good attitude?

Many netizens were joking, "I beg you, let me buy insurance here; otherwise, I won't feel secure taking this car."

And this effect directly earned Hongqi's dealers unanimous praise.

Cao Jianyan's shop was the same.

When Hongqi announced the news that new models were accepting pre-orders.

Cao Jianyan, who was in the store, was stunned.

In less than two hours, his shop was full.

How long had it even been?

It hadn't even been two hours since the announcement, right?

Cao Jianyan couldn't believe the speed of these people.

This was too fast, right?

Outside the shop, there were even people queuing.

As for the employees, they were already busy to the point of being overwhelmed.

They even skipped introducing the cars.

"Can I pre-order the xiaolong s22? I'll take it!"

"No need for an introduction, the shadow t1!"

"Bring the documents over, I'll sign them myself!"

These people, after arriving, didn't need a salesperson to introduce anything; they spoke directly and immediately paid the deposit.

It was just that straightforward.

The whole internet was going crazy; they came so fast.

They were all die-hard fans or had a rigid demand to buy a car.

But this was just the first batch.

As time passed, Hongqi's popularity grew even greater.

Cao Jianyan's throat was already hoarse, and the shop was still packed with people.

Some customers outside the shop even brought their own small stools.

Traffic police also appeared on the road to assist with order.

There were too many people!

This was even crazier than when the xiaolong s21 first appeared!

At least back then, it didn't affect traffic!
