But if that was the case, it would be very difficult to sell.
After all, their company was not well-known at the moment. It was okay to invest in the middle and high-end market at a normal or higher price. With its strong off-road performance and speed performance, it was still easy to open the market.
And if they really took the route of the most high-end luxury cars, with their current reputation, it would be difficult to get the recognition of those top customers.
After all, most people would still believe in those top brands if they spent millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan to buy a car.
Even if their car was really very good, after all, it was a small company that had never been heard of. Before buying, customers would definitely have many concerns. The strength of the company, the performance and stability of the car, whether there were any hidden defects, whether it would break down after a while. These were all factors that customers would inevitably consider.
In contrast, those top brands were more reassuring.
Therefore, most people were not very optimistic about directly challenging the top luxury car market at the beginning. In their opinion, it was better to replace the expensive shell with ordinary materials and honestly focus on the middle and high-end market. Don't bite off more than you can chew and expect to reach the top in one go.
Although they also felt that this car was worth the price, customers would not necessarily agree.
Chen Mo did not know what these employees were thinking. He naturally had his own plans. After the test, Chen Mo was very satisfied with all aspects of the car's performance.
Compared with his Ghost Chariot, this off-road vehicle was far inferior in power, speed, off-road performance, and defense. But what was Chen Mo's Ghost Chariot?
It was a combination of the top technology and the most precious materials in the Iron Man world, designed by him and Tony Stark, a peerless genius, and built by himself!
Whether it was in terms of technological content, manufacturing cost, or the degree of perfection of the design, the Ghost Chariot was not comparable to this bulletproof off-road vehicle that Chen Mo had casually improved on the basis of the original failed design.
But in the current world, whether it was off-road performance, speed performance, or bulletproof performance, it was at the absolute top level. Only those special models that were specially strengthened for a certain aspect could surpass it in a certain aspect alone.
For example, specially modified extreme off-road vehicles, a few super sports cars that could maximize speed to the extreme, and military heavy armored vehicles.
Although these models had the performance to surpass this bulletproof off-road vehicle in some aspects, they were completely incomparable as a whole. For those extreme off-road vehicles, it was not easy for their top speed to exceed 100 km/h. Super sports cars had extremely high requirements for the road surface and even had to be driven on a special track. Ordinary roads could not be driven normally. Not to mention the military model, the heavy armored vehicles had no flexibility, speed, and comfort.
Therefore, this off-road bulletproof off-road vehicle that took care of these three aspects and had reached the top level, in terms of performance, it could be said to be unparalleled!
The issue of brand recognition and trust that the employees were worried about did exist. Even if something was very good, but the price was very high, and it was a brand that they had never heard of before. At this time, most people would have doubts in their hearts and not know whether it was reliable or not. In the end, they were likely to choose a brand with worse performance and higher price, but they were more familiar with it.
In this regard, Chen Mo had naturally thought about it. The price of this car was not as high as everyone thought. Although the whole car was made of H-2 special alloy steel plates, which increased the cost a lot, this special alloy that only Chen Mo knew the formula of was actually not that high. Even if the cost of the equipment was included, the cost of a car would only increase by less than 10,000 US dollars.
However, there was one thing that they guessed correctly. Chen Mo did intend to take the high-end route. As for the huge difference between the cost and the price, it was actually very simple.
Chen Mo was the only one who knew the true formula and cost of the H-2 special alloy. If it was directly calculated according to the ratio of various metals purchased by the company, then the price was indeed not much lower than what everyone guessed.
However, many of the precious metals were stored in the space by Chen Mo. The ratio of the metals that were actually put into the vacuum arc smelting furnace was unknown. Therefore, the price of this powerful H-2 special alloy was only a little cheaper than the expensive super alloys such as aviation alloys.
In this way, it could be said to be killing three birds with one stone. Not only did it raise the alloy's price, but it also protected the alloy's formula. It also provided convenience for him to use a variety of precious metals in large quantities in the future. He did not have to worry about spending a huge amount of money to purchase "strategic metals" in large quantities and arousing suspicion.
As for the issue of brand recognition and car sales, Chen Mo had already planned for it.
After the test was over, Chen Mo was satisfied and allowed the testers to drive the battered but still sturdy Test Vehicle No. 1 back. Even after withstanding repeated attacks from machine guns, grenades, and landmines, the vehicle still had no problems driving. It was as if the only thing that had happened to it was dirty clothes.
After the test was over, the car could be officially put into production. However, the car still did not have an official name.
Chen Mo thought for a moment. The biggest characteristics of this car were its speed, off-road ability, and bulletproof performance. It had all three, and all of them were very powerful. Chen Mo could not help but think of Mustang, Jaguar, Land Rover, Raptor, and Hummer. Naming it after animals seemed like a good idea.
What kind of animal was strong in speed, strength, flexibility, and defense?
A violent and fierce figure appeared in Chen Mo's mind. The strong figure, the strong back, and the powerful limbs made people have no doubt about the powerful strength contained in its body.
It ran quickly in the rugged mountain forest as if it was running on flat ground. It turned nimbly between the trees and rocks. When facing the enemy, it charged violently. All of these showed its powerful speed, flexibility, and powerful off-road ability.
Its thick and hard bones, developed and strong muscles, and the extremely tough and thick fur on the surface of its body gave it a super strong defense that was not afraid of the claws and fangs of fierce beasts.
The thick and hard mane on its neck, the sharp gaze in its eyes, and the sharp fangs at the corner of its mouth added a sense of power and toughness to it.
This kind of powerful creature, which could almost be regarded as the king of the land, was very suitable for the characteristics of this bulletproof off-road vehicle.
But, was he going to name this car Wild Boar?!
Or Wild Boar? Raptor Wild Boar? Hummer? Tyrant Boar?
They all seemed a bit awkward.
Chen Mo imagined that after the customer experienced the powerful performance of this bulletproof off-road vehicle, he would be very satisfied and would want to pay for it. Before swiping his card, he would casually ask what the name of this car was.
Wild Boar! Was it as nice as Mustang?
The customer would probably turn around and leave after getting the answer.
You named a luxury car worth millions of yuan Wild Boar?! Then wouldn't we, the drivers, become Wild Boar Knights?
Goodbye!
Chen Mo rationally gave up on this name. Although it was very suitable for the car's characteristics, it was a bit too violent. He also did not consider naming it after an animal.
In fact, in Chen Mo's eyes, this was just a good mass-produced car, not a unique and powerful Specter Chariot. A code name was enough.
However, this was only for him. From other people's point of view, it would be too simple to just give such an era-defining all-around super car a codename such as A1. Chen Mo had no choice but to continue thinking about other suitable names.
Powerful strength, fast speed, strong defense. Chen Mo silently recited the characteristics of this bulletproof off-road vehicle in his mind, searching for a suitable item in his mind. Suddenly, Chen Mo's eyes lit up. The memory of fighting everywhere in the world of Legend of the Night came to his mind.
On the plains, hundreds of powerful knights of the Temple Knights were wearing full body heavy armor and riding tall and strong warhorses. They galloped swiftly on the battlefield, carrying an unparalleled momentum as they charged forward. Wherever they passed, they were unstoppable and unstoppable!
In the dense mountain forest, a team of Knights in black armor shuttled quickly through the trees. In front of them, a huge figure covered with long black hair, which looked like both a man and a wolf, was running quickly. And no matter how it turned to dodge, the Knight behind it was always closely behind it. Not only was it unable to shake off the Knight, the distance between them was constantly narrowing.
In a ruined village that was burning everywhere, three Knights were besieging a violent werewolf. The werewolf's sharp and powerful claws, which were sharp enough to cut open people's stomachs, scratched the armor of the Knights, but only left shallow claw marks.
Fast speed, the ability to quickly pass through the complex terrain in the wild, strong defense, it seemed that nothing matched the characteristics of this super off-road bulletproof car better than the Knight under his command.
Then, this car had a name, Knight! Aegis Knight!
That night, after work, Chen Mo drove a newly built black Knight off-road vehicle back to the manor.
The Specter Chariot in the space was too flashy, so Chen Mo had been driving the Harley Street 750 motorcycle back and forth between the company and the manor for the past few days.
Although the motorcycle was small in size and weight, its top speed was not as fast as a sports car due to its shape and power. Moreover, it did not have a windshield, so the wind resistance at high speed directly acted on the body. It was okay to ride a motorcycle for short distances, but it was more comfortable to drive a car for long distances.
Now that he had this super off-road bulletproof car with a powerful power and a top speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour, Chen Mo naturally changed his ride without hesitation.
Chen Mo drove the mighty and handsome Knight off-road vehicle slowly out of the company gate. There was a road about one kilometer long connecting the company gate to Highway 1 by the sea. Most of the road was grassland on both sides, but there were a few scattered bushes of different sizes in the middle.
After Chen Mo drove out of the company gate, he began to accelerate and sped along the road towards Highway 1.
But when the car passed by a small dense bush of more than a dozen trees about 200 meters away from the company gate, Chen Mo did not do anything, but a trace of disdain and coldness appeared in his eyes.
The Knight off-road vehicle, which had begun to accelerate, quickly passed by the bush. The leaves and withered grass on the ground were rolled up by the strong wind brought by the car and scattered to both sides.
When all the fluttering leaves had fallen, Chen Mo's "Knight" had reached the end of the road and turned onto Highway 1. Then, a low voice sounded from the bushes that had been normal all this time.
"The target has left! He's driving a black off-road vehicle that I've never seen before. It's very fast, so he may arrive early! "
In the bushes, a man in camouflage clothes put down the binoculars in his hand, took out his phone, and whispered after dialing.
"Roger that! We're ready. Come over as soon as possible! "
A rough voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Okay!"
…
Chen Mo drove the "Knight" at full speed. The maximum speed of more than 300 kilometers per hour was pushed to the extreme, and he quickly arrived at the manor.
He slowed down and turned off Highway 1. Then, he drove along the asphalt road for another 100 meters and arrived in front of the manor's iron gate.
But this time, Chen Mo did not stop to take out the key to open the gate. Instead, he took out a remote control from the channel and pressed it against the gate. The closed iron gate slowly opened on both sides. Chen Mo stepped on the accelerator and steadily accelerated into the manor's gate.
After the car had completely entered the manor, it continued to drive toward the iron gate fence. When the car drove past the tall tree wall, the iron gate behind him slowly closed and locked again.
Since the last time he had to take out the key to open the door, Chen Mo asked someone to change the gate to an electric remote control. This way, he could directly control the gate while sitting in the car, which was much more convenient than before.
Chen Mo continued to drive along the asphalt road and drove into the "wall" formed by tall trees.
The tree wall was dozens of meters thick, so after entering the gate and passing through the wall, they would pass through a forest passage that was dozens of meters long. Both sides of the passage were filled with tall and sturdy trees.
The asphalt road from Highway 1 to the manor was not wide. It was just enough for two cars to drive side by side. The trees on the roadside were only a few meters away from the roadside. Sitting in the car, one could clearly see the trees passing by.
Just as Chen Mo's car drove to the middle of the passage, a blurry figure suddenly flashed in the corner of Chen Mo's eyes. It seemed that someone had flashed out from behind the trees on the roadside, and there seemed to be more than one such figure.
Almost at the same time as these figures appeared, a series of loud gunshots suddenly rang out. Then, several egg-sized white dots appeared on the bulletproof glass next to Chen Mo. The bulletproof glass had been hit by bullets and its surface had been damaged.
At the same time, the glass on the other side was also hit by several bullets. The originally transparent glass gradually became blurry.
