"You are really awesome this time!" In Li Yihang's manor club, Zhu Hengyi gave Yang Dongxu a thumbs up, accompanied by Qian Liang, Lan Lan and others.
"But while you are awesome, can you do something without being so surprised? Do you know that I almost had a heart attack when I heard that you killed someone abroad and even used a gun?"
Although it was a joke, one could hear that Nong Nong's friends were concerned.
To be honest, Yang Dongxu did shock many people after the foreign shooting case spread to China. Qian Liang and others still feel frightened when they think back now.
Although their backgrounds are not simple, they can be regarded as people who have seen big scenes. But in peaceful times, wars basically exist in TV series and movies.
When a real case happens around you, and the person involved is still your friend. That kind of shock cannot be expressed in words at all.
"You know I'm the most afraid of trouble, but sometimes trouble has to come to me. What can I do?" Yang Dongxu also said with a helpless smile, "But this time, brother, thank you in advance."
Yang Dongxu gathered the wine glass in his hand. When something happened to him, even his own company was turned into a mess. If Zhou Ya hadn't stepped in to suppress it, I don't know how big a commotion it would have been.
And these friends in front of him immediately stood up to support him regardless of others. It really moved him. Although some people felt that the higher up the ladder, the more exchanges of interests and compromises they talked about, but friendship was still everywhere.
The bundling of interests actually only allows friendship to grow better in fertile soil, but it does not mean that if interests are put aside, there will be nothing.
"It's obvious what you said." Qian Liang said with a smile.
"That's right, that's right." Lan Lan echoed next to her, sitting next to her husband Wang Gang.
Even though Wang Gang is tall and rough and has served as a soldier, after getting along with him, he feels that he is a rough and arrogant person on the outside, but he is a kind of elegant person on the inside. The rough and arrogant look he usually seems is just an illusion given by his huge body.
It was because of the unexpected acquaintance with Du Weiwei and some subsequent interactions. The relationship between Lan Lan and his wife Yang Dongxu is heating up rapidly.
This made Lan Lan look at Qian Liang and other people who had known Yang Dongxu with her, but now their lives were extremely comfortable. Even some of the previous second-generation ancestors are slowly beginning to be valued by their families because they have a lot of assets in their hands.
It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel a little upset. After all, she is no longer a little girl in her twenties. Because her family is superior and she has no grudges, she just thinks about where to go all day long. Those places are fun and a bit heartless.
She is now in her thirties, a wife and mother, and her character has matured a lot over the years. So it is inevitable that some changes will begin in some things.
After all, it is impossible for people to be completely insulated in this world. It doesn’t mean that you don’t want to deal with it, but it has nothing to do with you.
There is a very popular saying on the Internet in later generations, "You finally live the way you hated before."
This sentence may sound a bit literary at first glance, but if you taste it carefully, you can taste the ups and downs in it. A lady like Lian Lanlan, who was born like a goddess, has to learn to change and adapt in the big dye vat of life.
He even started to have sex that he hated the most before and even looked down upon. And how does an ordinary person have all the edges smoothed out by life? The hardships and grievances experienced can be imagined.
"Volkswagen has released a new model. The price is lower than before, but the performance is very good. It is said that the public security system is very interested." After greetings, everyone started to talk after a few glasses of wine, and Zhu Hengyi said. .
"It does look good to me." Yang Dongxu smiled and nodded.
Volkswagen suddenly launched a new model, and instead of having an Audi logo, it had a double W logo. When people think of Volkswagen and Audi, they are two brands. The former is in the low-end market, while the latter is in the luxury car route.
But in fact, it is a company, so Volkswagen's new models seem to be the domestic joint ventures of GAC and FAW. But when it comes to official cars, if you say there is no sign of Audi behind your back, you probably won’t believe it.
As China BMW gradually opens up foreign markets, although it has not done much abroad. However, the brand of purely imported cars was also established, and the quality and reputation have always been very good.
In the area of official vehicles, the brand of national enterprises is also established. Although Audi has expanded many markets in recent years, it has not formed a situation where it was the dominant company in official cars in the previous generation. Instead, a lot of the market was taken away by BMW China.
Nowadays, official cars can be said to be dominated by two companies. Although Audi has a slight advantage, China BMW's performance is not bad at all.
So when a new model developed by Volkswagen is interested in the public security system, it is undoubtedly that the other party has begun to expand new territories in official vehicles.
Because in the past, both Audi and China BMW were taking the business car route. Most of the models are business-like and stable.
But police cars have certain off-road capabilities. For example, many grassroots police cars are Jeeps. And they are all old Jeeps, and police cars have indeed been replaced with new ones in recent years. The new models developed by Volkswagen are not inaccurate.
"Then the company should also follow suit. The matters you have been busy negotiating with the British side are not in China. Some people in all companies have come up with strategic plans and they are still being shelved." Qian Liang said.
He, Zhu Hengyi and others are not only shareholders of Hurricane Construction, but also shareholders of BMW China. So I am naturally very concerned about BMW China.
"New models must be developed, but we will not lower prices. Although we have a separate car series, it is not a big problem to create a new car logo and stand alone.
But Volkswagen is an old brand, and it will definitely not be able to compete with a new brand. Therefore, our newly developed models can only continue to bear the Masati logo.
And with this car logo, the price cannot be reduced. Otherwise, it will lower the overall quality of our car brand. Therefore, new models must be launched, but they will still take the mid-to-high-end market route.
So on the police car side, ordinary police cars can only be let out. There is nothing we can do about this, after all, Volkswagen is not just the same company as Audi.
The two domestic joint venture car companies are also very good, and Volkswagen has been doing police cars for a long time before. Even though we have good connections by rushing in to encircle territory, it is still easy to offend people.
Therefore, we have already decided that the automobile company should take the mid-to-high-end route before, and we have stuck to it. Ordinary grassroots official vehicles will be let out. Yang Dongxu said helplessly.
Although mid- to high-end cars feel classy when driven, they also look very profitable. But in fact, everyone who knows cars knows that the mid- to low-end car market is the main force in the entire car market.
For example, in later generations, when rural people start to compete with each other to buy a car, those who can afford to buy a car worth more than 200,000 yuan will be a truly wealthy family. Because more than 200,000 yuan is enough to build a small building in the countryside.
Someone actually spent money to buy a car. If this family is not wealthy, what does it mean to be wealthy?
Most families actually buy cars worth more than RMB 100,000, so in a few years many owners of mid- to low-end brand cars will wake up from their dreams with laughter. Then every month, car sales are soaring as if equipped with a rocket propeller.
When Yang Dongxu first started working on BMW China, he actually thought about entering the mid- to low-end market, but in the end he gave up after thinking about it. It is not easy to establish a high-end brand, and he does not want to waste the Maserati brand.
What's particularly important is that the more ordinary the product, the more intense the competition. Don't look at Lamborghini, Ferrari and so on. It can easily cost millions or tens of millions for a sports car.
But when it comes to real profits, these two tied together are no match for Toyota as a brand. Using huge sales volume to amortize the cost of each car requires investment and payment, which is no less than that of mid- to high-end market car brands, and the competition is even more fierce.
So after thinking about it, Yang Dongxu decided not to get involved and occupy the mid-to-high-end car market by himself. When it comes to luxury cars, China can also have them. In the grassroots market, which will be more difficult and tiring, many domestic car brands will rise in the future and they will not join in the fun.
"Have the design drawings of the new model come out?" Qian Liang asked curiously.
Because from Yang Dongxu's tone, it seems that the development of new models is not a sudden launch following Volkswagen's routine, but has been prepared beforehand.
"It's still over there in Italy. It's estimated that the first draft will be faxed next month. If you're interested, you can come to the company and have a look." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
"Tell me roughly what car model it is." Zhu Hengyi couldn't help but be a little curious.
Because the new models selected by Yang Dongxu are definitely not easy, China BMW can only compete with Audi in the field of domestic official cars.
In addition to the personal connections that cannot be ignored, I have to say that among the previous car series. BMW China is definitely overpowering Audi, after all of its majestic and stable models came out.
Even though sometimes there are some small flaws in starting and damping, many people still feel that China BMW's cars are more awesome than Audi's.
So as BMW China's automotive technology gets better and better, these small flaws have been basically improved. Volkswagen is eager to expand into other official vehicle markets, which is a matter of cleanup.
Because the people who know you best are your competitors, Volkswagen has obviously found that it is impossible to defeat BMW China in the field of business vehicles, so it can only use the advantages of its other Volkswagen products to open up a market in which it dominates.
If China BMW follows up, it must let this rising star understand what flowers are and why they are so red. Before, it was just that I was too righteous and accidentally made you run away.
"It is somewhat similar to the Volkswagen police vehicles, but more high-end than them. Volkswagen is now trying to combine off-road and business, which is to make the Jeep softer and more beautiful, but still has a certain degree of off-road performance. .
After all, the road conditions of grassroots vehicles are worrying, and without off-road performance, they simply cannot meet the needs of the police system. Our new cars are more thorough and more beautiful than theirs. "Yang Dongxu's smile was a bit cunning.
This is definitely not stealing Volkswagen's chicken, because the concept of SUV has not yet been widely recognized. Volkswagen actually tried it with its first batch of police cars, and then continued to improve it during the experiment, and finally gradually developed the SUV type into a mature one.
And Yang Dongxu had the advantage of foresight, so he naturally passed the trial stage from the beginning and went straight to the original and final perfection of the results. So he can imagine how Volkswagen will scold it when BMW China's SUV comes out.
Of course, this kind of thing is just a matter of feeling happy and having the upper hand at the same time. It feels cool, but it can't beat the crowd.
Because this model actually has no secrets. It just feels novel in appearance, and its performance is very good. It is both off-road and comfortable.
In short, all of this is a comprehensive review on the original basis, not a breakthrough in key technologies. Therefore, it is impossible to achieve a monopoly. This is a comprehensive application of the design of a car's appearance and some original car performance.
Whether it is Volkswagen, Toyota, or other car companies, as long as they have a little technical reserve and their own designers are not mentally ill, they can basically design a model quickly.
Especially for big-name car companies like Volkswagen and Honda, other small companies may be rushing to launch SUVs and may encounter some problems such as fuel consumption, chassis, wheelbase, etc.
But in the face of large cars with sufficient technical reserves and rich production experience, these are actually not problems. If BMW China is the first to come up with it, it will have no problem enjoying the soup, but it is impossible to monopolize it.
After all, it’s not like you invented a sixteen-cylinder engine that can be used commercially. As long as the technology is blocked, others can only stare.
The decline of SUVs is just a matter of changing the shape of the car. If you give people a little time, everything will be clear to you. There are no so-called technical barriers at all, and naturally there is no way to monopolize the entire market.
