Chapter 301: Price Announcement Causes Internet Frenzy!

President Biden had swept away his previous frustration and gloom, suddenly becoming cheerful!

He smiled and said to the Secretary of State, "Secretary of State Jack, you really helped me breathe a sigh of relief!"

"Let's just treat this as a joke, haha!"

In an instant, the dull and oppressive atmosphere in the conference room vanished without a trace!

It was replaced by an extremely joyful mood!

They laughed while continuing to watch the livestream, all wanting to see what kind of exorbitant price China would ultimately set for this car.

Meanwhile, in the livestream, the broadcast had reached its final step!

It was the moment everyone had been eagerly waiting for: the price reveal!

Everyone stretched their necks, widened their eyes, and waited with rapt attention for the final price to be revealed!

The atmosphere in the entire livestream was so tense that one could almost hear everyone's heartbeats.

The high-ranking officials on the American side also stretched their necks, staring at the screen without blinking!

Their focused expressions made it seem as if they were the protagonists of this launch event!

Inside, they were all secretly guessing just how high the price would go.

However, before revealing the price, Lei Jun suddenly interrupted. He cleared his throat, a hint of apology on his face, and said to the camera:

"Before announcing the price, we would like to apologize to everyone!"

"This price might hurt the feelings of some fans."

"However, we guarantee that we will compensate those fans who have been hurt!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone in the livestream was stunned at first, not immediately grasping what Lei Jun meant. Then, they gradually reacted and began to express their opinions in the bullet comments.

"Is it too expensive? Mr. Lei is so thoughtful. Not being able to afford it isn't your problem, it's ours. Mr. Lei, don't worry, we won't blame you. Even if you sell this car for millions, we won't say a thing!"

"Millions? The person above me has too small a perspective. If this car only sells for a few million, then Mr. Lei is truly conscientious. Even if this car sold for tens of millions, I would think it's reasonable!"

"Exactly, exactly! So, how much is it? Mr. Lei, stop keeping us in suspense, hurry up and announce the price, we can't wait any longer!"

On the American side, a high-ranking official pointed at the screen and said excitedly:

"The price is about to be announced. Judging by the tone of this Chinese car boss, I'm afraid the price of this car will be quite high! Haha, it seems it's exactly as we expected. Such an expensive car, hardly anyone can afford it, so it won't pose any threat to our automotive industry."

The Secretary of State heard this and also laughed:

"That's exactly what we want. Let's just wait and see how China handles the aftermath, haha!"

Everyone burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the conference room. At the same time, they didn't forget to keep staring at the screen, all wanting to witness with their own eyes what they considered the "sky-high price moment."

Just as they were laughing, Lei Jun finally announced the price!

On the big screen behind him, a striking string of numbers appeared!

"199999!!!!"

Seeing this number, everyone was stunned. The laughter stopped abruptly, as if someone had pressed the pause button, and the entire conference room instantly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

They all widened their eyes, faces full of disbelief, and couldn't help but silently count in their hearts: "One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... 199,999????"

The entire livestream, after a brief silence, exploded. The bullet comments surged out like a raging tide, almost drowning the screen.

"Such an awesome car, and it's actually less than 200,000!!!!"

"Did I read that right? This price is too accessible, it's practically dirt cheap. This is so far from what I expected, is Mr. Lei trying to do charity?"

"Good heavens, I originally thought I wouldn't be able to afford such a powerful car in this lifetime, but I didn't expect it to be so cheap. No, I have to save up money to buy one immediately!"

...

On the American side, everyone's gaze was still blankly fixed on the screen. The smug smiles that had been on their faces had long since vanished without a trace, and at this moment, they were completely dumbfounded.

Someone even silently took out their phone and hurriedly calculated the exchange rate!

Upon calculating, it broke them out in a cold sweat.

"200,000 Chinese Yuan is equivalent to US dollars... less than 27,000, not even 30,000!!!!"

The Secretary of State's exclamation suddenly rang out. He was so shocked that his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. He never imagined that this car, which incorporated all kinds of advanced technology, would have such a low price!

It completely exceeded his imagination!

His previously confident analysis now felt like a joke, slapping him hard in the face.

At this moment, Lei Jun continued:

"Friends, are you satisfied with this price?"

"If you're not satisfied, that's okay. This is the price before government subsidies!"

"After subsidies, the price of each car is..."

As his voice fell, the numbers on the big screen changed again!

A new number appeared, and the price after subsidies was...

"99999!!!!"

"The government is subsidizing 100,000 directly!!!!"

When this number appeared, the Chinese public was stunned at first, then rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and after confirming they hadn't misread or misheard... they went completely, absolutely crazy!

That excitement and agitation spread instantly throughout the entire livestream like a bursting flood!

The bullet comments scrolled crazily, as dense as snowflakes! Every single one was filled with everyone's irrepressible surprise and cheers.

"My goodness, this is practically giving it away! The price-performance ratio is too high. This isn't buying a car, this is clearly picking up a huge bargain!"

"The government is so awesome. This level of subsidy is truly looking out for us ordinary people. Such a powerful car, I have to get one no matter what!"

"I originally thought it might be a bit expensive, but now, at this price, I would buy it with my eyes closed. I feel like if I don't buy it, I'm doing a disservice to such a good car and such a huge discount!"

Not just the Chinese public, but at this moment, it can be said that everyone in the world watching this livestream was shocked by this price!

It was as if a bombshell had set off a massive tidal wave in the automotive market and even the entire tech industry.

Those foreign viewers who originally only held a 'watching for fun' attitude toward this car could no longer sit still. They were all thinking that such a good car at such a cheap price—if they could buy one, it would really be a huge bargain.

The American side was completely panicking!
