Haicheng Transportation is concerned about three issues: first, the construction of charging piles, charging stations and battery swap stations that will be implemented soon; second, the further management of electric bicycles, electric mopeds, and electric motorcycles.
Third, they also want to re-plan a batch of buses: new energy buses. The first two are nothing more than management and publicity issues. The last one is also easy to understand. These new energy taxis are being prepared...
Do we also need to arrange new energy buses? To this end, Haicheng officials also held a high-level meeting and planned a five-year development plan:
“Our goal is to spread the management measures of electric bicycles to every corner of Haicheng within five years, improve the construction of charging piles, charging stations, and battery swap stations, and further promote new energy vehicles.
Within five years, we will use new energy buses and new energy taxis to replace the original buses and taxis, and build Haicheng into the country’s first 4G city, new energy city, low-carbon city, sanitary city, green..."
Chen Zifan:......
There are really enough titles that I want~
If we could develop in such a concerted manner, how could the city's construction progress be so slow? He can also understand the ambitions of Haicheng officials. After all, who doesn't want their city to develop better and take more advantages?
But when it comes to public transportation, nothing is simple. Many people only know that the noise of electric buses is much better than that of traditional buses. There seems to be no difference in other aspects.
The seats are hard and the bus still shakes when driving. Some people who can't stand the rapid acceleration of electric vehicles can easily get motion sickness. But they don't know that the cost of a pure electric bus is 600,000 to 3 million yuan, which is very expensive.
Of course, the cost ≠ the cost price, and the cost price will be relatively low. Even so, pure electric buses can be called "luxury cars." The idea is very good, and Stardust Technology's battery and motor technology can also realize it.
It just so happens that the batteries and motors have been separated into separate subsidiaries. After half a year of preparation, we can then invest a lot of money to start research and development.
Although Haicheng Transportation temporarily intervened, Chen Zifan and others did not forget the purpose of this time. After re-determining the time and place of the cooperation meeting and proceeding normally, Yang Zhirong, chairman of Tuohai Travel, took the lead in saying:
"We acquired a local car brand in Haicheng: Ruiteng Automobile! They originally focused on family cars, but they stopped producing a few generations of products... and now we just happened to take it over and continue to use it~
I also gave him a special name: Pegasus Automobile! How about it? Is this name cool? "
"What? Pegasus car?"
Chen Zifan couldn't help but have the shape of a horse with wings appear in his mind... No, what is this!
Yang Zhirong was very satisfied: "Don't you know that horses are symbols of high-end brands at home and abroad? For example, Porsche, Ferrari, Ford Mustang, Maserati, Mazda...this does not count."
Chen Zifan:? ? ?
(WTF?)
Maserati:? ? ?
(My horse is not that horse!)
Mazda: Yes, exactly down there!
(Actually, I don’t get stuck in traffic, it’s very high-end!)
Baojun: Exactly what I thought!
(I own a horse! I am also a high-end brand!)
Mo Shaokun: "You're so handsome! Do you think your Pegasus car is high-end? A high-end taxi?"
Yang Zhirong didn't care at all about Mo Shaokun's reply, and specifically corrected him: "It doesn't matter whether the product is high-end or not. What's important is that the brand name must be high-end! Besides, who said taxis can't be high-end?"
Mo Shaokun: "...Okay! You're awesome!"
Chen Zifan was also very speechless. He was worthy of being the person who could divide taxis in Haicheng into ordinary and luxury taxis. He had previously wondered why there were four brands of taxis in Haicheng, and the charges were different for groups of two.
Santana and Jetta are used for ordinary models...Hongqi and Passat are used for luxury models. The former is relatively cheap and the latter is slightly more expensive. Only later did he understand what was going on. Yang Zhirong was behind it all.
Mo Shaokun: "So there is
Is it necessary? "
Yang Zhirong was not happy when he heard this: "Hey, are you questioning me? Let me tell you, according to our market research, more people like to take Santana and Passat than Jetta and Hongqi!"
Chen Zifan:......
Horse... Damn it!
Do you still care about the brand of a taxi?
He doesn't care what the taxi is called, but after all, it carries the banner of Xinghan Zhixing and uses the new energy vehicle technology of Stardust Technology. It's too outrageous to call it Pegasus, right? How about changing the name to something more normal?
"I suggest changing to Polestar Car~"
Li Yuan: I agree!
Mo Shaokun: I agree!
Yang Zhirong:......
"Damn it! There are too many people to bully the small ones, right? If it weren't for the fact that I lead few people...then I would agree! But your aesthetics are actually not that good either, Pegasus..."
"So is it possible?"
"I agree, I agree, you have the final say!"
The one that provides the technology is Stardust Technology, and the one that produces the products is Xinghan Zhixing. It’s just a brand name. It doesn’t matter if you change it. When the time comes for new energy vehicle brands to spring up like mushrooms after a rain...
Maybe they know how random the names of new energy vehicle brands are, such as Xiaopeng, Nezha, etc., but their products are said to be quite good.
The name Polestar was also used. It seemed to be a brand under Volvo. Chen Zifan couldn’t remember clearly. There were too many new energy vehicle brands, which was very similar to the situation in the early smartphone market.
But this is not important. Now Polestar Motors is manufactured by Xinghan Zhixing. As a result, their product line has increased to four models, namely: Xinghan 01, Xinghan 001, Xinghan 009, and Polestar X.
Yang Zhirong's words were a bit out of the ordinary, but he just did whatever he wanted to do. Tuohai Travel was doing well now, but he simply gave up on the existing market and switched to new energy vehicles, hoping to complete the transformation.
He would definitely not do that in other cities, but in Haicheng...it was clear that everyone from top to bottom was going to start using new energy. Instead of being killed by Xing Han Zhixing who had free hands then, it would be better to join them in advance.
At least this way Takumi Travel will not lose money. If it develops, it may even make more money than it does now.
Polestar
Similar models in later generations include the old BYD Qin Hybrid, Nezha V, etc. The comprehensive cruising range can reach 300~400KM. In other aspects... the space must be larger, at least it is spacious enough to sit up.
Not to mention the comfort, it's just average. You can't expect a taxi to have very good comfort, including the later trams that specialize in online ride-hailing, which make a lot of tire noise and road noise.
Chen Zifan can only guarantee that the Polestar X will be as good as possible within the cost range. It only needs to be a little better than those that specialize in taxis and online ride-hailing in the future, and then he will add as many safety configurations as possible.
If there is an accident, we can try to ensure the safety of the passengers and keep them out of the car.
The cost of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan can already produce some good things. If it were really put on the market, the price of Polestar Considered luxury.
The cost of Xinghan 001, the main product of Xinghan Zhixing in the next stage, has increased a lot. The estimated cost is 120,000 to 140,000 yuan. The specifics will be subject to the mass production results. In short, the price will not be too cheap.
At the same time~
There are countless fresh graduates entering the society, and countless college entrance examination graduates are about to enter university campuses. At the end of the college entrance examination, many candidates have estimated their grades and begun to choose universities.
The blind selection method actually greatly increases the difficulty of applying. Many people may fail the exam or not go to a better university because they misestimated their college entrance examination scores. Unfortunately, this registration method will not be changed for the time being.
While complaining, they have also become accustomed to
I'm used to it, that's how my previous seniors came here anyway.
What is different from the past is that Haicheng has become one of the most popular cities this year, on the same level as first-tier cities such as Beijing and Jincheng. The number of applicants has increased sharply, and major colleges and universities are almost overwhelmed. .
Even some vocational colleges that were not ranked well in the past have people consulting from morning to night every day. Majors that could not recruit people in the past have all exceeded the quota this year. This is the first time in the history of Haicheng.
Chen Zifan has made great contributions, Stardust Technology has released a wave of new products, and the name of "4G City" has been added again... Anyone can see that Haicheng's future is not bad.
Haicheng University even took this opportunity to vigorously promote the idea that "Science and Technology Star Chen Zifan graduated from our school", and also compiled several stories about "geniuses" and "inspirational geniuses", and the influence was immediately maximized.
Although Chen Zifan didn't attend a single class...
But does it matter?
Not only that, Chen Zifan was recommended to graduate school. If Chen Zifan's parents hadn't called him to tell him about it, he wouldn't have known about it, but even if he knew what Haicheng University had done, he wouldn't care.
Whether in his name, in the name of Stardust Technology or 4G City, it can attract more outstanding talents to Haicheng. As long as you don't go too far and describe him that is inconsistent with the facts, then there will be no problem.
The increase in the number of applicants is also a big challenge for major colleges and universities in Haicheng. This is a virtuous circle. When there are more students, the school can develop well. If the school develops well, it can attract more students and increase the influence of Haicheng.
Many candidates apply for universities that are far away. In order to facilitate contact at all times, mobile phones have become a necessity. Stardust directly-operated stores are even more bustling every day. This is one of the reasons why the Stardust press conference is held in June.
Who makes the most money? It’s not just women’s money, children’s money, students’ money, the elderly’s money, pets’ money… It’s just the parents who work hard to make money. After all, everyone wants to make their children better.
Mobile phones are no exception. If you want to choose, choose a good one that is "durable". With the current influence of Stardust Technology, Stardust mobile phones have naturally become the first choice.
Among the Stardust directly-operated stores, Stardust 2 has the best sales, because its lowest price is only 3,299 yuan, while the starting price of Stardust 3 is 3,999 yuan, not to mention Stardust 3+ , went for 6000.
At present, Stardust directly-operated stores have covered every first-, second-, third- and fourth-tier city in the country. Stardust directly-operated stores are also available in other cities with good development. Even worse, there are Stardust authorized stores and mobile phone dealers.
At this time, most of the consumers in Stardust Direct Stores were students, and many people living in towns and counties even went to cities to buy mobile phones.
Euphemistically called:
"Buying at the Stardust Direct Store is guaranteed!"
"It's safer to buy it in a big city! When you go to college, if something goes wrong with your phone, you can just go to the local Stardust after-sales center to get it repaired!"
"Either buy it from Stardust directly-operated stores or Stardust authorized stores! The remaining mobile phone dealers may give you fake products! We must see clearly..."
"..."
It seems to make sense, but mobile phone dealers are not that scammy. You just need to find the right person. However, in general, there is really no guarantee, and parents also go to great lengths to buy a Stardust mobile phone.
Although it is okay to buy from the Stardust official website and Stardust Mall, the older generation does not have the habit of online shopping. That is, they only learned to shop online and became obsessed with online shopping when they came out day and night and cut a knife every day.
In their view, only things that can be seen, touched, and held in their hands are practical and secure.
Of course, what they don’t say is: in fact, they are also tired. In the name of buying mobile phones for their children, they also want to go out for a run, see different scenery, relieve fatigue, and at the same time have a "sense of participation":
"Although I don't have a good mobile phone! But my child's mobile phone is good! Then I will be very happy!" qs
Most parents are like this. They would rather have a worse life for themselves so that their children can have a better life.
Of course, not all parents in the world are worthy of the word "parent".
The circumstances are different and cannot be judged according to unified standards.
Shacheng, in a Stardust directly-operated store——
"Dad! I just like this~"
A girl with a ponytail was grabbing the arm of a middle-aged bearded man wearing a leather jacket and shaking it wildly. Her eyes were filled with tears that made people couldn't bear to look at her. The bearded man turned away and said painfully:
"Hey, buy it!"
"Okay! Thank you dad!"
"Hey...use it well!"
It hurts my body, my daughter wants it, so I must buy it! Fortunately, the one he chose was not Stardust 3+, but Stardust 3. The price of 5,999 really scared him, although Stardust 3+ was indeed worthy of the price.
Seeing this, his daughter quickly comforted her: "Dad, look, if we buy a cheap mobile phone, it may not be able to last for a year, but if we buy an expensive and better one, it can last for three years." Year.
Calculated in this way, it is more cost-effective than buying a cheap mobile phone every year, and changing mobile phones frequently. If it breaks one day and you can't contact me, I still have no money... Do you think you will be very anxious? So it’s worth buying! "
"⊙∀⊙! It seems so!"
"And dad, look, it's really good, and it's 2,000 yuan cheaper than that one~"
"yes!"
For a moment, Uncle Beard felt that his daughter was really a considerate little cotton-padded jacket. However, what he didn’t know was that he chose Stardust 3 because the size of Stardust 3+ was a bit too big. At the same time, his daughter had other purposes:
"Ahem, then... Dad, look, this is my classmate group. They all have laptops in college. I don't want a laptop either. It's too heavy!"
The bearded uncle was very pleased: "Okay, my daughter has grown up! I know that my dear father cannot make money..."
Before he could finish his words, his daughter stared longingly at the Stardust Tablet 2 next to her and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have a laptop. How about a tablet?"
Uncle Beard:? ? ?
Why is this little cotton-padded jacket leaking?
In fact, his daughter knew her family's situation. If nothing else, her father's leather jacket alone cost 2,700 yuan, and he could afford to buy a mobile phone + tablet, otherwise she would not have made such a request.
Besides, her grades this time were quite good, and she also applied for Haicheng University, so she felt confident to speak out.
