Chapter 472 New Car Release
After about a year of hard work, Yuanfang Automobile has now become the leading automobile company in China.
Sales volume is far ahead of its peers.
However, because of the single model, the overall sales volume is still not as good as that of some established car companies.
Now that Yuanfang Automobile has begun to release other models, sales will surely increase.
On the stage, Wang Sichao received unanimous praise from everyone after describing the updates and iterations of the Yuanfang Car version worth 100,000 yuan.
Yuanfang Automobile's product update iteration is very different from other car companies that change the soup without changing the medicine.
Those car companies nominally release new versions, but in fact they only slightly change the appearance. When released, they boast about how much effort they have made and how much performance they have improved in certain aspects.
This iteration of updates is of no use at all.
Yuanfang Automobile’s product update this time has improved power and lower energy consumption.
The car-machine version has also been revitalized, and the new car-machine system is smoother and smoother.
Recently, a new game about Journey to the West has become popular. You can even play this large-scale game on a car computer. It feels better than many high-performance notebooks.
Of course, Gao Yuan still does not recommend playing games while driving, as it can easily affect the main driver.
As Wang Sichao finished his speech, the audience burst into warm applause.
"Yuanfang Auto is awesome, and Mr. Gao is awesome. I didn't expect to be able to play Black Mythology on Yuanfang Auto."
"It's so cool. I wanted to buy this game before, but when I thought about buying a good computer, I thought it was a bit uneconomical. It doesn't matter now. I just need transportation tools and I'm thinking about buying one with good performance. A car. Buying this car now is equivalent to buying a high-performance computer.”
"If you don't say that Yuanfang Auto is awesome, how many of the domestic car companies can actually consider customers like Yuanfang Auto? Anyway, I have never encountered it."
"..."
The audience in the audience talked a lot.
In the live broadcast room, there are five million viewers watching this live broadcast.
Compared with Gao Yuan's feat of 20 million viewers online at the same time, it is far behind, but with 5 million people online at the same time, this event is also very powerful.
"Next, we will release a mysterious product."
Wang Sichao stood on the stage and said, "Many people have been speculating on this new product before, and some bloggers even posted video analysis for half a month. You are right, we Yuanfang Automobile launched a new car this year—— Voyager from afar!"
"This car is equipped with the most powerful chip in the world. At the same time, it has also made great breakthroughs in intelligent assisted driving. Some people have graded domestic intelligent driving before."
"Most cars are at the L1 level of intelligent driving and only have the most basic assisted driving functions, such as adaptive cruise and so on."
“Some high-tech car companies have L2-level intelligent driving and have achieved simple driverless functions on top of basic functions such as adaptive cruise, but the driver still needs to concentrate, pay attention to the traffic conditions on the road, and be ready for manual intervention at all times. . To put it bluntly, many car companies claim to have reached L2 level, but in fact their artificial intelligence is simply retarded.”
"L3 level intelligent driving, domestic car companies have not yet reached this level. It means that under certain conditions, the system will complete a series of functions that the operator needs to operate."
"Our Yuanfang Voyager model has far exceeded the L3 intelligent driving level and reached the L6 level of intelligent driving."
"..."
"Now I announce that the final price of the Voyager is 299,088. The executive version is priced at 329,088, and the customized version is priced at 359,080."
In the audience, the guests attending the press conference were not calm at all.
Unexpectedly, Yuanfang Auto's intelligent driving has reached such a high level, and the status of other car companies may be shaky.
Yuanfang Auto's 100,000-class cars originally had a huge impact on their sales. Now that Yuanfang Auto is released, the market for 300,000-class cars will be occupied by Yuanfang Auto.
Mercedes-Benz C, BMW 3 Series, Audi Q5, Cadillac CT6, Land Rover Discovery Sport...the approximate prices of these models range from 250,000 to 350,000, and sales have been good.
After the launch of Voyager, I am afraid that a large number of their 4S stores will close down.
This car makes up for Yuanfang Auto's shortcomings in the mid- to low-end car consumer market.
As Wang Sichao finished speaking, the sales link was officially opened on the Youyou APP.
Countless people have poured into Youyou APP, and of course, most of them are just joining in the fun.
But even so, in just one hour, more than 300,000 people placed orders, of which 250,000 locked up.
What a feat!
Gao Yuan looked at the background data and found that based on the price of each car of 300,000 yuan, Yuanfang Auto had withdrawn 75 billion in funds in this hour alone.
According to this data estimate, the sales volume of the Yuanfang Automobile Yuanhang Edition that month will probably remain at around 1 million units, and the sales revenue will reach a terrifying 300 billion.
Such high sales basically rely on the impact of the first release, and there may not be so many sales thereafter.
According to estimates, Voyager's monthly sales can reach 100,000 units, which is considered good.
Coupled with models worth 100,000 yuan, monthly sales can probably stabilize at around 300,000 units, and annual sales are nearly 4 million units.
You must know that the car company with the largest annual sales volume of domestic cars previously only had sales of nearly 2 million.
Yuanfang Auto is almost twice as big as theirs.
After the press conference, Gao Yuan rewarded Yuanfang Auto's subsidiary with 2 billion yuan to encourage them to continue their struggle.
As for Wang Sichao personally, he took away several hundred million yuan from it.
"Mr. Gao!"
Pushing open the door of Gao Yuan's office, Wang Sichao walked in, holding a document and placed it on Gao Yuan's desk, "We had a great success in the launch of Yuanhanger this time."
"Afterwards, I summarized some of them, mainly due to the product reputation and fan effect of our Yuanfang Group."
For most companies, fans are the moat of the company, just like Tencent Enterprise, their social software has a huge number of users. As long as they have these users, it is equivalent to having a treasure pot.
As long as you open a hole in the software and push a software, you can instantly make the company's market value reach 100 billion yuan.
This is also the reason why Gao Yuan created the Youni APP. In the Internet era, the first-class companies are those that have their own software and a huge number of users, which means that they are inherently invincible.
The second-class Internet companies have received investment from those large enterprises, and they have done well in their own fields and have become leading enterprises.
The third-class companies have good benefits and have also received investment from large enterprises, but they have been tepid, have nothing to show for themselves, and their revenue is still acceptable.
The fourth-class companies are some outsourcing companies. Those large enterprises cannot complete their business, so they transfer part of the business to these outsourcing companies. Their company's customer service and sales account for a large proportion, and they need to continuously expand the market.
Today, Yuanfang Group has also become a first-class Internet company because of You APP.
However, Yuanfang Group's business is mainly based on industry, relying on high-end manufacturing and industry. The income brought by the Internet is not much.
The biggest use of You APP is to fight GG for Yuanfang Group.
"Everyone has seen your efforts." Gao Yuan praised, "Yuanfang Auto will also build mid-range cars of 500,000 yuan and luxury brand cars of 1 million yuan."
"My goal is to make Yuanfang Auto a large enterprise with a market value of trillions of yuan."
By then, let alone the headquarters, Yuanfang Auto alone will be a behemoth.
"Mr. Gao, don't worry, I think our Yuanfang Auto will definitely succeed." Wang Sichao said.
The success of two consecutive cars gave him enough confidence.
At this press conference, the sales of cars in the 100,000 yuan range also increased significantly.
The new cars released are very popular in the market.
Nowadays, Yuanfang Auto can be seen everywhere on the streets, and many car owners drive this car to and from get off work.
In the past, when traveling to Tibet and Xinjiang, most people drove Prado, which later became tanks. Now when going to Tibet, basically all Yuanfang Autos are used.
Not only are they cheap, but they also have good performance.
Those car rental companies have also become big customers of Yuanfang Auto. This summer, the largest car rental platform in China ordered 15,000 cars from Yuanfang Auto in one go.
Most of these cars are invested in Sichuan and Xinjiang provinces to provide convenience for the majority of users.
Take a flight directly to Sichuan, then rent a car in Sichuan, drive along National Highway 318 all the way to Tibet, and enjoy the scenery along the way.
It is said that in July and August, there was a traffic jam on the road to Tibet, and it was impossible to move for seven or eight hours.
Some people took videos, and basically all the cars in sight were Yuanfang cars, mixed with some cars of other brands.
"When will the Traveler be released?" Gao Yuan asked.
The Traveler is a 500,000-level model of Yuanfang Group.
The one million model is called the Space Explorer.
"It is expected to be released at the end of this year." Wang Sichao said, "The technology has been developed almost, and there are still some small details to be supplemented."
"Put off the release of the Traveler, and build the million-level model Space Explorer first." Gao Yuan said.
At the end of the year, the manned spacecraft will land on the moon, bringing a group of astronauts and scientists up.
Gao Yuan plans to transport the Space Explorer to the moon after these people go up.
Of course, it is not very useful to transport it up there. The main function is to create momentum and enhance the reputation of the space explorer.
This car will become the first car to land on the moon, and it will definitely attract great attention.
In the future, this car will also enter the Moon Exploration Museum and be admired by countless people.
"Okay, then I will focus on the space explorer first." Wang Sichao said, "This car is a luxury model. It is a bit difficult to open up the market above the million level."
Nowadays, luxury cars above the million level are firmly controlled by traditional luxury brand oil cars.
As for those new energy vehicles, they can only sell for 700,000 or 800,000 at most, and the sales volume is still very low.
Traditional luxury brands have also begun to make new energy vehicles, but the new energy vehicles they make are really hard to compliment, and they still rely on oil vehicles to occupy the market.
The profit of luxury oil cars is too large, and Gao Yuan wants to impact the prices of those luxury cars that cost millions of dollars.
"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of the marketing. Just focus on making the car." Gao Yuan said, "We must make the Space Explorer before the end of this year."
"As for the release, there's no rush. We can set it for the beginning of next year. Otherwise, if we launch too many models in the same year, it will affect our original car market."
After instructing Wang Sichao, Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
After this part of the matter is arranged, basically there is no need to worry about it.
Wang Sichao's management ability is still good, especially after so long in Yuanfang Automobile, his current management level is no weaker than the general manager of any Fortune 500 company.
In terms of execution, it is even more outstanding.
Gao Yuan basically did a good job in the things he asked him to do.
Many bigwigs from car companies also came to the Yuanxingzhe press conference.
After instructing Wang Sichao, Gao Yuan went to accompany these bigwigs from car companies.
When he saw Gao Yuan, Lei Bushi had a shadow in his heart. Fortunately, he already belonged to Gao Yuan's camp, otherwise, it would be too painful to become an opponent with Gao Yuan.
Lei Bushi had always been smooth sailing before, and he had never seen such a great person.
In the outside world, everyone jokingly called Lei Bushi the male protagonist of the cool article.
But in front of Gao Yuan, the identity of the male protagonist of the cool article seemed a little bit not good enough. Lei Bushi felt that Gao Yuan was the real male protagonist of the cool article.
Whether it is making mobile phones or cars, Gao Yuan has always been far ahead.
Even if he entered the industry late, he could still tear open a gap and share the cake at the table.
Moreover, he not only shared the cake, but also snatched the cake market of others.
But this is normal, a market behavior.
Gao Yuan's ability to occupy the market is enough to prove Gao Yuan's ability, and others can only be jealous.
Several other car companies have also cooperated with Gao Yuan early. After seeing the data released by Yuanxingzhe, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Like Lei Jun, they have a kind of joy of surviving a disaster.
With the help of Yuanfang Auto, their respective car companies have also been greatly upgraded. Although they are far less than the terrifying sales of Yuanfang Auto, they still have a bowl of rice to eat.
Not to mention bankruptcy, debts, and debts, they may be arrested and imprisoned for a few years before being released.
"Mr. Gao, congratulations on your Yuanfang Auto for such a brilliant achievement."
Lei Jun took the lead in raising his glass, and the bosses of other car companies also raised their glasses.
"You're welcome. We are all friends and have a deep cooperative relationship." Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Yuanfang Automobile is gradually upgrading. I believe that your car will also upgrade after acquiring Yuanfang Automobile's technology."
"In business, this is called win-win cooperation. Let's take over the Chinese automobile market together and build cars that are more beneficial to ordinary people." (End of this chapter)
