Chapter 214 Wuling borrows a car, Gobi rescue! 【Subscription】
"What exactly is going on?"
"what happened?"
Ford Headquarters,
Henry slammed a pair of fists on the desk, watching the video on the YouTube tube with severe pain.
at the North American Auto Show,
Wuling's wonderful performance has been edited and released.
"Wuling new pickup, Leviathan, different experience. 35
"Leviathan, the experience is different, it's really full of fulfillment. 55
"Attack Leviathan, the Optimus Prime of the pickup world!"
There are many similar videos,
The titles are also varied, and each video has a surprisingly high number of views.
Henry viciously cut the video one by one,
But whenever he sees videos about Wuling, he feels unhappy.
original,
He was still full of confidence, naively thinking that the Ford Raptor series,
At least the market can be determined for ten years.
Even if Chevrolet announced the release of a new Silverado, the development of the Dodge Ram has not stopped.
Henry still didn't take it seriously.
It is because of this confidence that
He didn't even pay attention to the process of the North American Auto Show.
When White got a big hit at the auto show,
He is enjoying the pressure on women in his private garden.
can result,
White brought the bad news he least wanted.
When the North American Auto Show officially launched a poll,
Wuling has always been at the bottom.
At that time,
It was his favorite that Henry stepped on.
But Wuling not only made a pickup, but also really crushed the Ford f550.
Looking back,
All of Wuling's rhetoric at that time really let him pretend.
this time,
Any video about Wuling on the YouTube will be @FordOfficial by netizens.
This is the hardest hit Henry's face,
But he couldn't refute it, so he had to close the message function of the official account and pretend to be dead.
also in a bad mood,
And Chevrolet's Durant.
This time,
His plan fell through again.
Not only did the new Silverado fail to beat the Ford F550, it didn't even make much of a splash.
Is it Thorold?
The 6.2L large-displacement engine, the super torque is close to the performance monster, the luxurious configuration from the inside and the outside...
It can be said,
If there is no Leviathan, Thorold is the proper king.
When the luck is bad,
However, Wuling stole all the limelight, and Chevrolet naively attracted waves for Wuling.
Masses of sardines, mixed with silver carp.
"Why do I have a bad feeling that the balance of the market is about to be broken.
Durant is fairly sensible.
see the crisis,
For the first time, he didn't have the "zero three three" soup for the stock reward he got angrily,
Instead, he thought about the impending impact of Wuling.
According to Xia Guo's experience,
this time,
Wuling is obviously more dangerous than the rising Tesla.
Speaking of Truss,
After the second defeat against Wuling, Musk once again lived in the factory.
Since the Xiaguo market can no longer be maintained,
Then do things on your own site and find a way to dig deep into the American market.
Although Musk lost to Ye Qiu,
But it is undeniable that he is indeed a very thoughtful and action-oriented person.
otherwise,
Nor will it make for a great show for the automotive world.
only,
The protagonist is Ye Qiu.
In order to expand market share, Musk also thought of pickups.
"I can even dig a tunnel, why can't a pickup truck be built?"
After edamame 3,
Musk immediately organized members to prepare to develop an electric pickup.
"Hmph, I'll use the pickup truck to occupy the American market first, and then I'll settle the account with you slowly.
Musk at the time,
Gradually came out of the shadow of failure and devoted himself to research and development.
He didn't even attend the North American Auto Show.
But he doesn't pay attention to the North American Auto Show,
The North American Auto Show brought him bad news.
"Wuling Pickup, Leviathan made a stunning appearance and shocked the audience. 35
watching the video,
Musk has the urge to flip the table.
"What kind of monster is this Wuling?
Musk locked himself in the workshop and roared.
"Why does he always walk in front of me? Ye Qiu, where did I offend you?"
early morning,
Musk was incompetent and furious, hammering the workshop door over and over again.
The workers who came to work were frightened, thinking that a wild beast had broken into the workshop.
"I build electric cars, you develop plasma batteries."
"I develop L8-level autonomous driving, and you develop Chitu Pioneer.
"Now I'm going to build a pickup, and your Leviathan has been shown at the North American Auto Show. 39
"Will I be crushed by you no matter what I do?"
"Ye Qiu?!
still remember,
He also had a blunt speech to Ye Qiu.
"I can assure you that all of your Wuling models will never enter the American market and the European market.
Now,
The construction of Chitu's super factory has come to an end.
By the time,
Ye Qiu was afraid that he really wanted to invite him to the opening ceremony.
To go, or not to go?
Musk slapped himself on the face, and the whole person was not well.
at last,
Musk was carried out.
He was a little bloody, and his breath was not smooth, and he almost fainted.
but,
Just this one thing made him think about something.
The Leviathan is a gasoline engine pickup, what I'm going to build is an electric pickup.
"Then let's compare it again, the future is the electric market, Tesla's electric pickup will definitely beat your Leviathan, just wait and see.
Musk said in his heart, with a weird smile on his face.
After the worker who carried him saw it,
I thought he was afraid that he might not have hit the big evil.
No wonder the boss is always talking to himself recently, and the factory is not peaceful at night. It turns out that there are really ghosts.
Thinking of this, the timid worker suddenly turned pale,
I was already thinking about it, and I was ready to leave and run away.
Except for Meriken,
European car companies, except Porsche and Audi, are all panicking.
The Daimler family held an emergency meeting to adjust the policy.
"It seems that Wuling has penetrated into America. We will find a way to firmly resist Wuling and then enter the European market."
"The Auto Union must respond, which is not only about interests, but also dignity.
"Also, let the people in the electric vehicle R&D department hurry up.
"Mercedes-Benz must grab this piece of fat."
6699
On the other hand, on the Xia Kingdom side,
The major car companies were relieved.
As long as Wuling does not engage in domestic affairs, they are relieved.
Geely Shufu has a rare day in a good mood,
He wasn't nervous when he saw Wuling's pickup at the North American Auto Show.
after all,
It is really difficult for pickup trucks to affect other car companies in China.
main reason,
This is because of domestic restrictions on pickups.
After all,
In terms of function, pickup trucks are still more inclined to trucks.
then,
Some big cities will have higher driving requirements for pickup truck owners,
There will even be restrictions on driving segments and time periods.
so,
Shu Fuge disrupted foreign markets with Wuling's pickup trucks,
Not only not disgusted, but also very happy.
once,
Those big factories can't find time to blend in the Xiaguo market,
Geely will have the opportunity to carve up the remaining market share of Wuling.
Although not much,
But at least it's in the tens of billions.
"Except for Wuling, there is really no local car company that is a competitor of Geely."5
Shu Fuge immediately called a department meeting,
Discuss goals for the next stage.
After a few days,
Wuling headquarters.
Ye Qiu was sitting in the office on the phone.
The caller was Old Wei of the Great Wall.
Ever since he got on Wuling's thigh, Lao Wei was determined to work with Ye Qiu.
Anyway, there is no hope for the Great Wall in his hands.
Simply put the future in the hands of Wuling.
Hongqi can rejuvenate after being merged into Wuling, and Lao Wei firmly believes that Ye Qiu can take him to fly.
then,
One after another, Lao Wei bombarded Ye Qiu directly.
Until Ye Qiu picks up.
phone connected,
Lao Wei didn't talk nonsense, he simply stated his thoughts, for fear that Ye Qiu would be impatient.
Specifically,
Great Wall hopes that Wuling can take technology shares in exchange for Wuling's cooperation with Great Wall's shares.
at the moment,
The battery is from Chitu, and the v brand also depends on Hongqi.
Great Wall is about to become a subsidiary of Wuling.
despite this,
As long as he can make money, Lao Wei is still very happy.
"How is it? President Ye, are you thinking about it?"
Old Wei even changed his name to Ye Qiu, just hoping that Ye Qiu could see his sincerity.
Ye Qiu also heard clearly.
Great Wall wants to be Wuling's follower, and take a small piece of the soup from the gap between his teeth.
It seems that the brand merger thing,
It can no longer satisfy Lao Wei's appetite.
certainly,
Ye Qiu was naturally happy with multiple puppet helpers.
"Okay, if I find an opportunity, I will send someone over to contact you.
Ye Qiu replied, "When everything is settled, we will officially cooperate.
"Okay." Old Wei didn't expect Ye Qiu to agree so readily, and he was overjoyed.
"Then I'll just wait for the good news from President Ye.
"Um.
After hanging up the phone,
Ye Qiu glanced at Leviathan's order on the official website.
order display,
Wuling (Millikin) official website,
More than 100,000 people have already expressed their desire to buy.
This value is absolutely true,
On the homepage of the official website,
There is a scroll bar that displays a string of values.
Every time a person registers his identity on the official website and expresses his desire for Leviathan in the question and answer, the value will increase by 1.
This number is still increasing at a rate of hundreds of people per hour.
Not only that,
More than 6,000 people have paid deposits so far.
The first batch of Leviathan (Xia Guo version) will be delivered next month.
only a few days,
This result has been very exaggerated.
It is precisely because of the huge enthusiasm of the American market for Leviathan that it has also led to a new round of soaring of Chitu's stock price.
As of yesterday,
The stock price of Chitu rose by more than 15%.
exceeded the $400 billion mark.
In Ye Qiu's assets, there was another "useless" number.
in the afternoon,
Li Guangyi ran over again with a mean smile and reported on the domestic conference of Leviathan.
This is not the current focus,
Ye Qiu asked him to bring Xu Feifei, and the two of them played freely.
The attention of pickups in China is destined to be inferior to that of Amiken,
but,
Because it is Wuling's conference, it still attracts many riders.
The most direct one is Nange.
Brother Nan licks Wuling every day, how could he be missing from the press conference.
"Family, come and see this car."
"Leviathan, just hearing the name is enough to be domineering, and looking at the appearance, I directly ordered ten bowls of rice. 99
"The beautiful flame pattern, the stately silver grille, and the sexy lights.
"The most important thing is that it's actually a scissor door, and I'm already wet.
"This car is only sold for 600,000 yuan, so you can earn it if you buy it.
"On this powertrain, the price is too sweet.
"This is really off-road, even the Red Flag tank can't compare.
"Family, hurry up and act..."
Although Nange licks very clearly,
But netizens are not stupid, they can see that this car is really good.
The conference venue was also crowded with people.
Some people have seen the North American Auto Show and want to experience the feeling of watching the Leviathan test video with glasses.
afterwards,
Anyone who has experienced it will post their thoughts on the forum.
"I started to sympathize with that foreigner a little bit, and I really couldn't stand it when I put on my glasses.
"Mom, aren't those glasses too real? It feels like I'm on a roller coaster."
"Wuling is really ruthless. It doesn't feel bad at all to test self-driving cars. 35
"The most cruel thing is that they took the test car directly to the exhibition site, I specifically compared it, and the dents are exactly the same.
"Wuling is really the only one who dares to do this in the world, right?"
"If this is replaced by a Mercedes-Benz, it is estimated that the oil leak should have started long ago?"
"Haha, don't insult me, my big Mercedes, you little clever ghost!
"Hardcore off-road, I like it.
"The car must be a good one, guys, I've decided to buy one to show you guys.
"Hey, when I see the Leviathan, my Red Flag tank doesn't smell good."
"Above, you can buy two, the red flag tank to run the city, the Leviathan to run in the mountains, and enjoy the feeling of having a family, wife and wildflowers at the same time?
"I want it too, but what if the big city doesn't allow it?"
"Don't worry, the country is easing policies, and pickup trucks are already open in many places."5
"I estimate that within two years, pickups will be able to pass freely in Xia Country.
"So want Leviathan friends, it's worth the wait."
......"
What Ye Qiu didn't expect was,
Leviathan has such a high popularity in China.
Just looking at it, the assistant lady suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Ye, someone is looking for you and is waiting in the lounge."
"Hmm." Ye Qiu nodded.
before leaving,
The young lady hesitated for a moment, pointed to the ceiling, and added another sentence.
"Mr. Ye, it's the person above."
finished,
She backed out.
The person above?
Ye Qiu wondered for a moment.
If it was from the boss, Qin Wan should have called him in advance to ventilate.
Not now,
That's obviously not the case.
"Let's go take a look first.
Ye Qiu got up and went to the VIP lounge.
in the lounge,
A lean man is sitting upright on the sofa.
The man kept his head straight and his eyes were like eagles.
Although he was wearing casual clothes, it was obvious that he was from the army.
Seeing Ye Qiu walk in,
The man stood up and shook hands with him, and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Ye, my name is Tang Shengbin, I am from the Gansu army.
It turned out to be a provincial army.
"Hello." Ye Qiu shook hands with him.
"Excuse me, what do you want from me?"
Ye Qiu couldn't imagine what an army could do with him.
Do you want saber-toothed tigers too?
That may have to be discussed with the Western Military Region...
"To be honest, I came here this time to actually..."
talking,
Tang Shengbin blushed.
There are times when iron men are shy.
"I'm here this time, on behalf of the Gansu Province troops, to ask Wuling to borrow a car."5
finished,
Tang Shengbin bowed solemnly to Ye Qiu.
BORROR car?
This kind of thing is completely pediatric to Ye Qiu.
Wuling doesn't have anything else, just a lot of cars.
But he was curious...
"No problem." Ye Qiu agreed boldly.
"Mr. Ye, I haven't said what car to borrow? You agree.
Tang Shengbin looked up suspiciously.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it is owned by Wuling and can help you, I will do my best.
Ye Qiu motioned Tang Shengbin to sit down, "After all, you are also thinking of the people, so I should contribute a little to the country.
"I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be so profound and righteous. I, Tang Shengbin, read few books, and I don't know how to speak, but I still want to thank you for the people."
talking,
Tang Shengbin stood up again and bowed to Ye Qiu.
"Don't, don't, Big Brother Tang's words are serious." Ye Qiu couldn't stand two big gifts.
"I'm younger than you, if you don't mind, you can call me Ye Qiu, Xiao Ye, or Ye Zi.
"You don't have to call me President Ye all the time."
"I have the most respect for soldiers in my life, and it is my honor to be friends with soldiers."5
When Ye Qiu spoke,
The tone is sincere, not at all like a compliment.
He was speaking from his heart.
Tang Shengbin was surprised when he heard it.
"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Qiu.
"Okay." Ye Qiu nodded.
"I don't know what kind of car does Big Brother Tang want to borrow?
"I said, I hope Brother Qiu won't take offense." Tang Shengbin was still a little embarrassed.
"Actually, we want to borrow the latest Leviathan pickup from Wuling.
finished,
He looked at Ye Qiu with some worry.
Honestly,
Even he himself took this request a bit too much.
This is a new car from Wuling,
Before the first car was sold, our troops left.
and,
The number is not low.
After using it,
How do people still sell this car?
Thinking like this,
Tang Shengbin was a little discouraged.
"Forget it, Brother Qiu is a good person, but our request is really..."
Before he finished speaking,
Ye Qiu interrupted him, "Okay, how many cars do you want to borrow?"
Tang Shengbin didn't react for a while.
"Brother Qiu, what we want to borrow is Leviathan." He emphasized again.
"Yeah, I heard, how many cars do you want to borrow?"
Ye Qiu's face did not waver,
As if the car to be borrowed was not his.
"Two... Twenty cars." Tang Shengbin stammered.
Ye Qiu didn't hesitate to give him straight away.
The original rhetoric was useless.
"Okay, when are you coming to pick them up? There are exactly twenty in the garage now. 35
Ye Qiu said mischievously, "Come early, it's better to come by coincidence.
"Haha..." Tang Shengbin was amused.
He gave a thumbs up, "Qiu brother, you, this, really have nothing to say."5
"We will come to pick up the car tomorrow, thank you in advance."
troops,
The most important discipline and etiquette.
Tang Shengbin was about to bow again, but was stopped by Ye Qiu.
"Before this, I have a small request." Ye Qiu said again, "I don't know if I can satisfy my curiosity. 39
Seeing Ye Qiu's face full of gossip,
Tang Shengbin said with a smile: "Actually, it's to save people."
"Rescue?"
"Well, a convoy was trapped in the no-man's land in the northwest Gobi, and we are carrying out the rescue.
five days ago.
"Audience friends, hello everyone, I'm Gu Yuwei. 35
"Everyone, please look behind me and look at this long dragon composed of cars."
"This is an expedition team composed of riders from all over the world."
"There are nearly 100 people in the team, and there are as many as 48 vehicles. 35
"This time, I will follow the team and watch them all the way from Dunhuang, through no-man's land, and finally to the most beautiful place in the northwest Gobi.
"It is said that every morning, you can see the Buddha's light there. 99
"Then, please follow my camera and go together.
"Our journey is the sea of stars, coordinates..."
Northwest Desert,
The open space in front of the Gobi Desert.
A beautiful woman in a long blue dress and a flower-brimmed hat,
He is holding a microphone and explaining to the camera.
0.8 Gu Yuwei.
She is a video maker.
Most of its videos are mainly about hunting and challenging, and occasionally some black technology is shot.
Gu Yuwei has a high number of fans on various platforms.
Just Douyin,
There are tens of millions of fans.
Sometimes she is still live on Dou Shark, and her popularity has exceeded 10 million several times.
Fans are attracted by her beautiful face and pay attention to her.
Then,
She was deeply impressed by her adventurous spirit.
This time,
She wants to follow the expedition team of this non-governmental organization to brave the no-man's land.
It's a crazy biker party.
Gu Yuwei is also the only one,
Video producer allowed by the team to shoot.
"Xiaoyu, I can fully imagine that when netizens see this video, they will be amazed."5
Gu Yuwei smiled and said to the equally beautiful camera assistant Miss Sister.
approaching dusk,
The riders were almost finished, and everyone started to get busy.
No man's land is located in the center of the desert, and the wind blows for a long time, and the wind and sand will block the sight of the actor.
and,
In no-man's-land, the signal can also become very weak.
Everyone installed a walkie-talkie on each car, as well as a car platform and an antenna.
in no man's land,
The most important thing is not to lose contact.
While everyone was busy, Gu Yuwei pulled on the light rain and went to take a photo of the team.
forty-eight vehicles,
No car is a duplicate.
Mercedes-Benz big g, Audi q7, Toyota Cooler, Chevrolet Trailblazer, BMW x7...
Because we are going to go to the desert Gobi,
The road is rough and bumpy, and there are gravel and quicksand, and the miniature car is not useful at all.
so,
In the team, all of them are off-road vehicles and SUVs.
And Gu Yuwei's car,
It's a Red Rabbit Rover.
This is her personal car, and she usually pays the most attention to maintenance.
Gu Yuwei secretly felt distressed for a long time after being misappropriated to run to the Gobi.
The fleet is almost inspected,
The leader of the team raised the walkie-talkie in his hand to make the final decision.
"Everyone, are you ready? We're leaving soon.
"Ready, leader. 35
Gu Yuwei picked up the walkie-talkie to answer.
The sun was gradually sloping westward, approaching the horizon.
"It's really 'the desert is solitary, the long river is setting the sun'." Gu Yuwei said with emotion.
With the walkie-talkie,
Under the command of the team leader, all the cars started one after another and headed towards the no-man's land.
On the Red Rabbit Wanderer,
Gu Yuwei was in charge of driving, and Xiaoyu aimed the camera at her.
Before departure,
Gu Yuwei did not forget to make a cute expression.
"Yeah, let's go."
