"Grandma, when did you have to grab a taxi? But Polestar Motors is really stingy, at least send a few more cars. Haicheng is so big, who can use only dozens of cars? Road test? Road test? Chicken feathers!"
"That's right! My friend works at the Polestar Automobile Factory. He told me that the production of Polestar X taxis has basically been completed, and some cars even have green plates, and the taxi drivers can drive away after they are on duty. "
"What!?"
"That's unreasonable! Brothers from Haicheng, come with me to block the gate on the Bund of Haicheng! Are you off work? Then go tomorrow! Anyway, we still have a lot of time!"
"Isn't it necessary? Isn't it just a taxi? Just wait for them to change slowly..."
"I don't know about others. Anyway, I am in a hurry. I can't get a taxi every day, and the roads are not easy to walk. I have to put on makeup every morning, and when I ride an electric bike to the company, my face is covered with dust and sand..."
"There's nothing we can do about road construction..."
"Just wait a few more months. When the main roads are repaired, we won't have to worry about traffic jams anymore."
"In fact, you can also buy a Xinghanni and drive it by yourself. Riding an electric car or a motorcycle is not a bad thing. The four wheels can protect you from wind and rain. You can go wherever you want at any time. It is convenient to go out and you don't have to take a taxi. "
"Yes, the Xinghan Ni is small and easy to maneuver. It also has reversing radar and is easy to park. You don't have to squeeze in with those big cars. It's perfect for commuting!"
"I want it too, but I can't afford it..."
"Not everyone can spend 50,000 to 60,000 yuan at a time to buy a car. How about a loan? You don't dare to take out a loan! Interest compounding is too scary. You should do as much as you have with the amount of money you have."
"Life is so hard."
"..."
If Chen Zifan heard what these people said, he would definitely express his understanding. Everyone's family conditions are different. Domestic cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars that many people despise and look down on are the dreams of many ordinary people.
Who didn’t stare at luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands when they were young? But when I really started working to make money, I realized that Xinghan Ni, who had bought a Taiwanese phone with tens of thousands of dollars in full through his own efforts, had already surpassed most ordinary people.
Yang Zhirong also knew that these taxi drivers must be dishonest, but he would not say anything more. Anyway, they were promoting Polestar Motors and making money, so it didn't matter if he spent one more night. However, the next day he suddenly discovered:
"What's going on? Why has the rating of the Polestar Auto APP dropped so much? The Stardust community is all owned by Aite and us? What do we do by Aite? There are too few cars? Taxi drivers can't wait and want to work?" "
Yang Zhirong was confused, very confused. No, the double-star press conference was only a little over a week away. Couldn't it be better to wait a little longer? When the press conference is over, he will definitely send a large number of cars according to Chen Zifan's request!
Moreover, the road environment in the city is not good now. Due to road construction, there are often traffic jams. Taking a taxi is not the best choice. It is better to ride a small electric car!
But everyone's needs are different. What made him most uncomfortable was that some veteran drivers from Takumi Taxi Company ran to the Polestar Automobile Factory early in the morning carrying cigarettes and alcohol to wait for him. As soon as they saw others, they all gathered around :
"Hey, Mr. Yang! This is everyone's wish... We are not here to embarrass you. In fact, right now... there is nothing we can do. There are old people and young people. The elderly need money for medical treatment, and children also need money for education."
"Yes, you see, the Chinese New Year is just a few months away. We also want to start work early, earn more money to buy some New Year goods and so on, and also want to have a good New Year..."
"Xiao Chen has only been driving for six years and can go on a road test. I have driven a taxi for ten years! I am definitely more familiar with the road than him! Not to mention the urban area of Haicheng City, there are eleven counties under Haicheng. Each county I know how to go!"
"Mr. Yang, my family is in such a difficult situation..."
"I can't even open the pot..."
"Every time a mouse enters my house, I have to give him a few grains of rice. Others are living with bare walls. I live in the open air and eat every day. If this continues, my wife will divorce me and my children will all have different surnames."
"my home…"
"stop!!!"
Yang Zhirong raised his hand to interrupt them. It really gave him a headache. Each of these guys was more experienced than the last.
He can afford to give away cigarettes and alcohol, but he can't afford to eat because he's living alone...Does he really think he's a fool?
However, he also knows that for a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, it is the time when the pressure is greatest. If Polestar Motors does not start work for a day, they will not be at ease every day, and they always feel like they have been laid off.
"Leave everything in my office... Forget it, you all take it back and go to Zeng Jin to go through the formalities. He will take you to familiarize yourself with the car. By the way, do you have a smartphone? If not, you'd better hurry up and buy one."
"Why, Mr. Yang?"
"Don't ask so many questions about why! Anyway, prepare one, it's best to buy a Stardust mobile phone. Others may not be durable, so you won't lose money if you buy it!"
"this…"
Although these veteran drivers didn't quite understand the relationship between driving and smartphones, they didn't ask any more questions because they also knew the relationship between Stardust Technology and Polestar Motors, so buying smartphones would definitely be useful.
Look at Xinghan ni, look at Jiexing X...
It is wireless charging and connected to the car. But when they think of costing more than 3,000 yuan for a Stardust 3, they really can't bear it, so some people agree on the surface, but in fact they don't care at all and have no idea.
"I'll just drive my taxi and buy a new mobile phone when I have some spare money."
"I will buy it after my child reaches high school, otherwise he will play with his mobile phone every day and his grades will be affected..."
Yang Zhirong doesn’t care whether these veteran drivers work or not. Anyway, that’s what he said. Tuohai Travel’s APP is also on the shelves. If you seize the opportunity, authenticate on the platform first, and you can earn more money in the future.
After all, consumers can order a ride online through the Tuohai Travel APP. For payment, it doesn’t matter if the driver has a smartphone or not. Polestar X comes with Stardust OS, as long as the consumer can pay the money.
After Yang Zhirong sent these veteran drivers away, he first called Chen Zifan and asked about the specific situation. In fact, he already had a good idea. Calling Chen Zifan was more like reporting the latest progress.
"Hello? Director Chen, our taxis are very popular, and my taxi drivers can't wait, so I want to send more people to increase publicity..."
Chen Zifan doesn't care. The plan can't keep up with the changes. Since Polestar X Taxi is so popular online and offline, it's okay to send more drivers.
There is no need to wait for Haicheng to repair the road before putting it on the market, and Haicheng officials are more anxious than him now. The road has not been repaired, and the press conference has not been held. They are already urging them to deliver the buses and prepare to upgrade them.
In their words:
"Whether the road is built or not, the buses will definitely not stop. If this is the case, why not give me a batch of buses first, and I will train bus drivers first, and then drive a few dedicated routes to test the buses..."
Chen Zifan:......
OK, OK! One is more anxious than the other, right?
pay! Submit it now!
Why don't we just ask for a car? Still looking for these reasons... It's troublesome as hell, but he is not responsible for the work of Polestar Automobile. Li Yuan and Yang Zhirong will be fine. Mo Shaokun... forget this guy.
He is very good at building connections and developing technology, but he doesn't care much about management at all. Yesterday he was addicted to driving a taxi, and today he went out to drive again. I don't know what he thinks. How can he pretend to be a B when driving a taxi?
Ordinary people can’t do it, but the rich second generation can~
This is generally the situation. Chen Zifan is too lazy to worry about it. He has arranged the Double Star press conference first, and then he can concentrate on building the products of Stardust Technology and Xinghan Zhixing to be launched next year.
Last night's publicity was just the beginning. Today's Takumi taxi driver was out and the publicity effect was incredible. There was no way around it. The design of Polestar X was not only eye-catching, but also very oppressive.
The visual look and feel brought by the closed front face of trams is completely different from the various types of air intake grilles of fuel vehicles. The appearance is distinctive, the space is large, and the price is reasonable. Naturally, it has become a new choice for many citizens when traveling.
It’s a pity that Haicheng City’s urban area can accommodate at least 30,000 taxis, but during the road test promotion seven days before the press conference, only a few hundred Polestar Xs were running, so there are many
Citizens wanted to take a ride but couldn't get a taxi.
Until the start of the Double Star press conference on October 28, there were still many citizens going to Stardust Plaza who had never ridden Polestar X, but this did not hinder their enthusiasm. Stardust Plaza was packed that morning.
Everyone was surrounding the Polestar X display car. Fortunately, there were a lot of staff maintaining order. Otherwise, the few little red ropes would not be able to stop the excited citizens. Anyway, as long as they did not go to the stage, that would be fine.
You can look at and touch the show cars in the square casually. Polestar X and Polestar G are the same. Except that you can’t open the door and sit in for the time being, the rest can be seen from the outside, including size, interior, space, etc.
There are still many people gathered together to share various information about Polestar X. Many of them have experienced it from taxis. The standard version of Polestar X will definitely be different from the taxi version, but the overall difference is not big. .
"Let me tell you, there are sockets in the back of Polestar Fast charging.".z.br>
"real or fake?"
"Is Jiexing X so cruel?"
"It also has in-car ifi, a charging port... and NFC and QR code payment. You can pay directly with your mobile phone. Will this allow other taxis to use it?"
"Forget about other taxis, they are all modified versions of ordinary models. Polestar X was born for taxis! I also got one today. The back seat is really good, and the sitting angle is also very comfortable."
"This is indeed very important. Some of the previous taxis had too little space in the back, and some were at wrong angles. The buttocks slipped in the back, and the buttocks were still hot after sitting for a long time. It was inconvenient to get in and out of the taxi. The experience was terrible."
"The only thing to blame is that we don't have a car..."
"That's not what you said. Let me calculate an account for you. Assume that a car costs 100,000 yuan, and the annual gas and insurance costs add up to 10,000 yuan. If there is a violation or something, you still have to pay. Fine, the cost of driving and using the car for ten years is at least 200,000, but after ten years this car worth 100,000 is likely to be worthless..."
"But if you take a taxi, can you pay 10,000 yuan in fares a year? If you pay 3,000 yuan, it will only cost 30,000 yuan in ten years. At least you save 170,000 yuan compared to buying a car..."
"???"
"Holy shit? What kind of theory is this?"
"It makes sense, but it doesn't seem right..."
"It's definitely not right! I bought a car to improve my quality of life. Who wants to save money? Besides, aren't there electric cars? The electricity bill for 10,000 kilometers a year is only 500, which is much cheaper than a gas car."
"Then tell me why everyone wants to buy a car now? Isn't it because it's more convenient to have a car?"
"Don't care what the purpose is, just buy it!"
"poverty!"
"..."
Chen Zifan looked at the dark crowd in Stardust Plaza from the headquarters building of Stardust Technology, surrounded by Polestar
Don't talk about a test drive alone...
Even if one out of ten people participates in the test drive, it will take at least five days to complete the round.
"It seems that the exhibition time has to be extended..."
Chen Zifan thought silently, then moved his eyes and found Yang Zhirong, who was about to host the double-star press conference. He was ready to go on stage. He just needed to adjust the camera that would be responsible for the live broadcast of the press conference.
After all the adjustments were completed, Yang Zhirong walked to the press conference stage wearing a black suit that he had treasured for many years. The noisy sounds in the square finally quieted down a lot, and he began to pay attention to the situation on the stage.
However, Chen Zifan's focus was completely different from that of the audience. He stared at Yang Zhirong carefully for a long time, then opened the Stardust community and clicked into the live broadcast room of the Double Star press conference to confirm carefully, and then he swore:
"Damn! I'm over fifty and still wearing makeup!"
"I must have dyed my hair!"
"You even sprayed your hair a little bit, right?"
The so-called "spray" refers to a special kind of
Black paint is sprayed onto the hair loss area, and some materials are used to make it visually visible that there is hair. This is fine if the weather is good, but if it rains, the original appearance will be revealed.
At such an old age, it was the first time for Yang Zhirong to host a press conference. However, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running around before, so he was not nervous at all. After taking the microphone, he began to introduce the product according to the preview:
"Polestar Motors is..."
The old rule is to start by explaining the motivation and development philosophy of the company. Of course, as viewers and consumers, few of them care about the development philosophy of the manufacturer, they only care about the quality of the product.
Everyone already knows the product parameters of Polestar X. We just need to make an official announcement. While announcing the price, we also talk about car ordering, after-sales and other issues, especially how long it takes to order a car.
Many people who come to Stardust Plaza come here to order a car. Compared with Xinghan Ni, Polestar Good deal.
But if you wait too long, if you can’t pick up the car until after the Spring Festival...then what are you waiting for? During the Chinese New Year, don’t you just expect a car to haul New Year’s goods, take family members, and run to relatives?
After Yang Zhirong briefly introduced Polestar Automobile on the stage, he formally explained the product:
