Looking at the rows of expectant eyes below, Ye Qing took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
After brewing for a long time, today, he was finally going to use the Thunderbolt car product launch to announce the second major event to the world.
Ever since the Monster Factory was upgraded to the sixth stage, Ye Qing had a preliminary idea for this plan when he obtained the energy tower and plasma battery.
Ye Qing had thought about it many times and gathered the company's staff to discuss it many times to evaluate and perfect this plan.
Now …
"Before announcing this major event, I want to ask everyone two questions." Ye Qing stood still for a few seconds and smiled. "The Thunderbolt car is actually the first true core product launched by our Monster Industries."
"Cars are also known as the crown of the industry. Everyone may think that cars are very common and can be seen even in the countryside. But if we observe carefully, we will find that the cars on the street are actually concentrated on the brands of those few countries. "
"Cars are the products of the highest industrial standards and the most complete industrial variety that we can come into contact with in our lives. It includes the entire industrial variety of a country and involves about 30,000 different industrial parts. "
"Our Monster Industries has developed to this day before we dared to launch our first car product. This also marks the beginning of a new chapter of development for our Monster Industries. "
"Then, I'd like to ask everyone to predict how many units of Swift Thunder Cars will be sold in the next month."
As soon as the question was asked, the guests and the media were stumped.
Although they didn't know how Ye Qing's question was related to the major event that was about to be announced later. But this didn't stop them from imagining if the Thunderbolt car's technology was really as good as it was introduced at the product launch …
No, even if it was only half, the Thunderbolt car would become a small dark horse in the Hua Xia car market.
Perhaps the only thing that limited the sales of the Thunderbolt car was the drawback of pure electric energy.
There was no need to describe the shortcomings of electric cars. If the plasma battery of the Thunderbolt car really had three times the energy density, then this flaw would be greatly reduced. However, these assumptions were based on the assumption that the Thunderbolt car really had such technology.
The Sohu Entertainment reporter was the first to raise his hand and answer. The bespectacled reporter thought for a while and said, "Tesla is the star of the electric scooter industry. It is highly praised in Europe and America. But in Hua Xia, even Tesla's sales are not very high. "
"I think the sales of the Thunderbolt car will reach 5,000 units in the coming month. When the reputation of the Thunderbolt car spreads, the sales will gradually break through the tens of thousands. "
Another car dealer gave a more professional answer. He said, "In Hua Xia, the best-selling cars are the Wuling Light and the Havre H6. The total sales volume of electric cars that could be licensed was less than 1% of Wuling Light's sales volume. Therefore, I estimate that the best sales of the Thunderbolt car will be able to reach the total sales of all the pure electric cars in the country. But I think Swift Thunder still has a long way to go if they want to change people's car buying habits from fuel cars to pure electric cars. "
Ye Qing nodded in agreement with this answer.
In terms of popularity, the Thunderbolt car and Tesla were worlds apart. But Tesla's sales volume in Hua Xia was less than 5,000 units a year. In Europe and America, Tesla's sales volume was not bad, but it was still less than 1% of Wuling Light's sales volume.
Although Tesla was very profitable, it could not enter the homes of ordinary people. It could only be a toy for the rich.
The standard pricing of the Thunderbolt car seemed to be aimed at the biggest mid-range car market in Hua Xia. That was the private land of foreign joint venture car companies. How could it be possible with just an electric car?
"Second question, why are the sales volume of electric cars so low?" Ye Qing continued to ask.
"We have done a special investigation on this. On one hand, the actual mileage of a pure electric car is only half of the standard mileage. On the other hand, charging a pure electric car is too cumbersome. The residential areas need to build special charging stations. This greatly limits the freedom of a pure electric car. It can only be parked in a fixed space every time. In most residential areas in the country, the parking spaces are free and can be parked anywhere. "
"Also, an electric car has to be replaced every two or three years. Calculating it, it is not cheaper than a fuel car. "
This answer hit the nail on the head. A pure electric car seemed to be energy-efficient. It could run as long as it was charged.
But everyone knew that the longer the battery ran, the lower the endurance. After two years of running, the mileage was only half of the initial mileage. After three years, it fell to one-third. Gritting their teeth to change the battery, they found that the money to change the battery was enough to buy a domestic car. Wasn't this a scam?
"Everyone understands the shortcomings of pure electric cars. These shortcomings are also the roadblocks that limit the development of pure electric cars."
Ye Qing waited for dozens of seconds. When the scene was completely quiet, he calmly said, "So, Monster Industries has decided to solve the roadblocks in front of electric cars."
"How?" Someone couldn't help but ask loudly.
"Monster Industries has decided to build more than 5,000 [Energy Service Areas] across the country in the next two years. We want to build a super-charging network that covers the country so that every Thunderbolt car user can enjoy the same treatment as a fuel car. "
"In the energy service area, a Thunderbolt car can be fully charged in half an hour. If everyone is on a long-distance trip, the time it takes to charge in the super-charging station is just enough time to rest and have a meal. In the city, it only takes dozens of minutes to get more than 300 kilometers of range. "
Looking at the pairs of eyes below, Ye Qing continued to smile. "Maybe everyone thinks that this is a fantasy. The construction of a gas station in a fifth-tier city costs tens of millions. A service area on a highway costs more than a hundred million. Do we, Monster Heavy Industries, have the ability to fund the construction of 5,000 energy service areas? "
Who dared to answer this question?
Tesla had originally threatened to build super-charging stations in Hua Xia. In the end, after five or six years, they had only built less than 50, and they were the kind of charging stations that were not much bigger than a bus stop. All of them were concentrated in first-tier cities where Tesla cars sold well.
Those charging stations added up might not necessarily be the cost of a service area for a gas station.
How much would an energy service area cost?
If it was on the highway, even if you just built a thatched hut, it would cost more than a hundred million to build two entrances and exits to connect the highway.
Listening to Monster Industries, it seemed that they not only wanted to build energy service areas on the highway, but also many of them?
"We have the strength to build them." Ye Qing clenched his fists and answered everyone with an unquestionable tone.
"The energy service area we want to build not only includes high-speed charging stations, but also provides a place for every Thunderbolt car owner to communicate and relax, and any car service imaginable."
"The energy service area will also become a business card of Monster Industries. A contribution that Monster Industries will make to the entire Hua Xia people and the belief that technology will change lives.
"..."
It was earth-shattering!
Any previous technology, any product, in front of the declaration of the young president of Monster Industries, had become a pale performance.
What kind of courage was this?
Even with the most conservative estimate, 5,000 energy service stations would require an investment of 300 billion yuan.
300 billion yuan, this might be the sum of Monster Industries' fixed assets and cash assets, or even more.
This investment might even be accompanied by the cold reception of the Thunderbolt car in the market, and they might even lose everything.
But this young president, in a calm tone, announced this matter that would determine the fate of the entire company. (To be continued …)
