As time passed, Kyushu Automobile's name soon spread in various venues.
Even the staff of several luxury brands next door took advantage of the few people to come over to watch Kyushu Auto's jokes.
It's still the same group of automotive engineers as before, but unlike the previous angry outbursts, now they only see ridicule when looking at Kyushu Auto.
"It's so funny that even consumers in their own country don't recognize their cars."
"As I said before, this factory is a clown!"
"What kind of status do you have to come here to participate in an auto show in the same exhibition hall as luxury brand car companies like us?"
"The price is quite luxurious, but if you can't sell a single car, what's the point."
"Sure enough, this factory is here to cause trouble!"
Inside the exhibition area of Jiuzhou Automobile Factory.
Sales, models, and even automotive engineers were all a little uneasy.
A group of salesmen and automotive engineers from Jiuzhou Automobile Factory gathered together and looked at the crowd of visitors who came one after another to watch the joke.
"They are all here to see our jokes. There is no customer who really wants to buy a car."
"Our cars are so good, so we can't take a closer look. Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW are obviously not as good as our cars. Our cars have such strong performance."
"In terms of configuration, comfort, quality, performance, and intelligence, none of our cars can be compared to cars costing hundreds of thousands. They are obviously very cost-effective!"
"We didn't even give it a try, and they just thought we were bragging."
"If we are domestically produced, can we really not have luxury cars..."
Several model girls, with awkward smiles on their faces, came to watch the fun and take photos of the vehicles.
"Oh, if I had known better, I wouldn't have come to be a model for Kyushu Motors. The car is very nice, so why do those people just think it's not good?"
"It has become the background of a joke. Will it appear in newspapers, news media, and photos later?"
"Would my friends laugh at me if they saw it?"
"However, Jiuzhou Automobile offers too much. You can earn tens of thousands of yuan in just a few days. For the sake of money, you have to keep smiling."
"You shouldn't be greedy for money!"
Models, salesmen, and automotive engineers all have different ideas.
However, unlike the sales models, Xu Yifan and several company executives sitting in a corner didn't care at all.
Xu Yifan smiled helplessly and sighed slightly: "It seems that our cars will not be liked by consumers in the near future!"
Deng Yingzhuo, President of Kyushu Automobile: "These consumers just don't understand our technology. They don't know the power of the technology we have spent countless funds developing!"
Feng Hao, President of Hengxin Battery: “We only recognize joint ventures and luxury brand cars as excellent and durable vehicles.
Little did they know that our car is better than those luxury cars. It can accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers in 2.6 seconds. This is a configuration only available for million-level sports cars.
Not only that, our car has power and comfort that cannot be compared with those sports cars.
The space of the B-class sedan is very sufficient for both home and business use. "
Deng Yingzhuo nodded: "This is also the inherent thinking of decades. In terms of the automobile industry, we have developed too late.
The joint venture vehicles have always been of excellent quality and have become more popular among the people.
Coupled with the fact that domestically produced vehicles in the past few years have experienced various problems, today's consumers are no longer willing to believe in domestically produced cars. "
Xu Yifan: "The road is long and long!"
Feng Hao: "Although I had anticipated this situation before, I just didn't expect it to have such an effect."
Deng Yingzhuo: "Domestic luxury cars, without any foundation, are destined to have a dismal start."
Since they want to make luxury cars, the company's senior executives have simulated countless possible problems.
Among them, the situation that is happening now is very likely to happen, so everyone behaves very calmly.
Jiuzhou Auto still does not have loyal car consumer fans.
Previously, the main vehicles were only low-speed electric vehicles without much technical content. The main consumer group was the elderly, although the profits earned were not bad.
But nowadays, these two products are not bought by the elderly.
If a low-speed electric vehicle show were held, it might attract some elderly people to visit, but unfortunately the visitors to the show are mostly young people.
Kyushu Motor's positioning has shifted from its previous low-end, low-speed electric vehicles to focusing on high-end vehicles.
It is normal for a brand that is not well-known in China to be unacceptable to people all of a sudden.
In fact, it’s not that Kyushu Auto doesn’t want to sell cheap and easy-to-use products, but today’s Kyushu Auto can’t do that.
The lower selling price of low-end products means that the profit per unit will be much lower.
Jiuzhou Motors has invested tens of billions in the development of these two high-end electric vehicles.
In the case of low profits, a large amount of volume is required to ensure sufficient profits to recover costs.
But Kyushu Auto still has a very fatal problem. If it sells for tens of thousands of yuan, Kyushu Auto will be much more attractive, and there may be a lot more people buying cars.
But if this is the case, Kyushu Automobile’s production capacity will not be enough!
For previous low-speed electric vehicles, Kyushu Automobile could also produce its own batteries and purchase most of the remaining components from mature products.
But today's two high-end electric vehicles, Suzaku motors, intelligent electronic controls, and even central control screens and other components, there is no place on the market where they can be purchased in large quantities.
Therefore, all these parts are produced in small batches by Jiuzhou Automobile Factory in its own factory!
Nowadays, other supporting factories have gradually been unable to keep up with the demand for parts from the Jiuzhou Automobile Factory.
Most parts of the entire car are invested and produced by Jiuzhou Automobile in small batches. Naturally, the production capacity cannot suddenly explode to satisfy most consumers.
Jiuzhou Dongting and Jiuzhou Taishan, these two models currently have a production capacity of only a few thousand units at most every month.
And if you want to expand production to the extent that you can increase volume and trade volume for profits, then you need to invest heavily in the construction of supporting plants.
This will cost a very large amount of money, at least tens of billions of dollars will be spent to invest in expanding production, in order to be able to make matching packages for a large number of mass-market models!
With tens of billions of investments, Kyushu Motor's current sales of low-speed electric vehicles and two-wheeled electric vehicles are still relatively good profits.
They have to wait several years before they can earn enough profits to invest in the construction of production plants and build a huge automobile industry park.
In addition, for a large number of pure electric vehicles, the matching of charging facilities is also a problem. The construction of a large number of charging piles or battery swap stations also requires a very huge investment to build.
Unlike low-speed electric vehicles that are mainly used for urban transportation, pure electric new energy vehicles will be difficult to popularize on a large scale without complete supporting facilities.
Therefore, the current Jiuzhou Automobile Factory is not unable to produce lower-end electric vehicles, but its production capacity and supporting facilities cannot keep up with the production of large-volume models.
Under various conditions, today's Jiuzhou Automobile Factory can only make high profits by taking the high-end road.
After that, more profits will be used to promote the gradual expansion of production capacity and the construction of supporting facilities, so as to create an ecological soil suitable for the survival of pure electric vehicles.
