Chapter 348 I Love to Tell the Truth
The birth of Qixing Automobile was not too shocking because Li Yuan did not buy any advertisements at all.
It just released the news on some of its own channels, and even on BiXin, it didn’t give much traffic for the time being.
Cao Yuanyuan pays more attention to these things because she is not only a die-hard fan of Li Yuan, but also a soft fan of Li Yuan.
I just think the pricing is a bit high.
She was not a newbie, she was also a finance major, and she didn't understand the significance of Li Yuan's pricing.
Brand is something that really has a subtle influence.
Whether it is the car logo or the name.
Qixing Automobile is a new force. Its so-called foundation is equivalent to zero. It is definitely not popular in the market if it sells at such a high price.
…
Fu Zonghai is a die-hard fan of Li Yuan.
He was so stupid that he thought Li Yuan's fart smelled good.
Three years ago, he was a hard-working worker. Although he earned hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, he could not even find a wife.
My family introduced me to a girl through a blind date. She asked for a dowry of 200,000 yuan and didn't even want to bring it back. She acted like she had no intention of getting married at all.
After he rejected her, she went on a blind date with someone else the next day.
Finally, I heard that she started a lawsuit against the man because she asked for a dowry of 200,000 yuan from him, but kept dragging her feet on getting married, and she made a fuss and lost her temper with the man, so that the man finally couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to cancel the engagement.
After that, the woman's family refused to return the betrothal gift.
What's even funnier is that the court's final ruling only required the return of 50% of the betrothal gift, and the additional expenses on the girl over the past year totaled around 100,000 yuan, which was not mentioned at all.
Fu Zonghai felt horrified just thinking about it. He dated for a year, spent three hundred thousand yuan, and in the end was very angry. He raised his ancestors for a year, but the marriage did not take place and he lost two hundred thousand yuan.
If he had not insisted on taking the money later and worn out the woman's patience, this incident would have certainly fallen on his head.
The loss of two hundred thousand yuan meant that his family had worked for five years in vain compared to his situation at the time.
And now?
He originally invested 140,000 yuan in the Qingtian Mixed Small and Medium Cap Fund, which has now become more than 300,000 yuan.
And this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he received a stock allotment quota because of this holding.
He used the 140,000 bonus shares, plus the 600,000 cash he raised from selling his house, to buy all of Kingkong Capital's shares at a cost price of more than three yuan.
Currently, the stock price of Kingsoft Capital has risen by more than 15 yuan.
He now has a net worth of more than four million.
He was still doing his previous job and after receiving his salary, he used all the money except for living expenses and rent to buy shares of Kingsoft Capital.
He lived in a rental house that he had picked up at a bargain price, and ate boxed lunches that cost five or ten yuan every day. Looking at the money in his account, he felt extremely happy.
He posts his holdings and tells his experiences online every day.
But they are just online names and I don’t tell any of my friends in real life.
Not only him, there are many people who share the same ideals as him.
They are all loyal fans of Li Yuan. Over the years, they have relied on Kingkong Capital to buy funds or stocks, and their net worth has at least tripled or quintupled.
Some people have a better foundation and have earned thirty or fifty million.
Some people with weaker foundations earned five or six hundred thousand or more.
Fu Zonghai belongs to the middle group. He has experienced both the sharp drop and the sharp rise of the Qingtian Mixed Small and Medium Cap Fund.
Today, he saw that the Qingtian Group released a new car.
He immediately said in the group: "Yuanshen has made a car, comrades, will you buy it?"
Someone in the group immediately responded: "Nonsense, how can I not buy it? I know this car is my dream car as soon as I see it."
"I have already paid the deposit and am ranked over 300th in the queue. It is expected to be delivered on February 3 next year."
"Fuck, you are such a bastard. You didn't even tell us when you placed the order!"
"You guys are so stingy, do you have money? Cars are not cheap, I'll test the waters for you."
"Do you need to try? Yuanshen has already tried it for us. When has he ever cheated anyone?"
This is the consensus in the group.
Li Yuan would not betray his own people.
They are all loyal BiXin users and never buy things on other platforms.
Fu Zonghai is an exception because he is the most stingy.
He wants to have 10 million, but currently he only has over 4 million, which is still a long way from his goal .
So he said in the group: "I have made up my mind. If I don't have enough money in February next year, you can lend me some money. I will pay you back in installments with interest."
This group was established by him in recent years by gathering various people.
From three or four people at the beginning, it has evolved into two thousand people now.
He doesn't dare to show off in real life, but he shows off his account every day on the Internet. Otherwise, how can he contain his excitement?
"Fuck, that bastard Lao Fu actually said he had no money!"
"Your current money is enough for retirement. The bank's large-denomination certificates of deposit can give you nearly 4 points. For more than 4 million, the annual interest is almost 200,000."
Fu Zonghai said: "Who knows how high inflation will go in the future? How can I compare with you with my little money? I only have this one chance in my life, so I want to be more greedy."
Someone said: "To be honest, I think it's difficult. The scale of Kingkong Capital has reached its limit, as can be seen from the fact that Kingkong Capital closed the subscription channel a few days ago."
Kingkong Capital closed its subscription channel in the past few days. People who don’t pay attention to it every day may not know about it.
Many problems can be seen from this incident, such as the fact that Kingkong Capital’s carrying capacity has reached its limit and it can no longer continue to absorb external funds, otherwise all the stocks it holds will have to be sold.
On the other hand, it can also be seen that Li Yuan is not optimistic about the future market, otherwise no matter how much money can be stuffed in, there is no reason for Qingtian Capital to give up a profitable business.
This year, due to the global monetary easing, many blue chips in the A-share market have been soaring. Doubling is the basic operation, and double or triple is also common.
It is even more powerful than the time when blue chip stocks formed a group in 2019.
Medicine, new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, photovoltaics, semiconductors, and liquor have all risen in turn. Although the index has only risen by 30% from its lowest point at the beginning of the year, the overall capacity of A-shares has actually increased from 50 trillion to 80 trillion.
This year, the overall situation can be considered bullish, with the trading volume of the two markets exceeding one trillion yuan every day.
"Does the stock of Sky Capital still have a chance to become the number one in the two markets?"
Many people think that Kingkong Capital is undervalued, but there is nothing they can do about it.
Big funds are only willing to pull it to this position, and it is impossible to expect retail investors to pull it up.
Retail investors will not work together, and a large number of them will run away midway, making the situation out of control.
"Who knows? It depends on this year's performance. If it far exceeds expectations, there shouldn't be too much of a problem. After all, there isn't much of a gap. The No. 1 in the two markets is now Moutai's 2.2 trillion."
“This year’s performance will definitely not be bad!”
This is what Fu Zonghai said.
Not to mention Kingkong Capital's domestic revenue, its overseas market is also very good. According to their understanding of Li Yuan, this year's scale is much larger than last year, with a possible revenue of two or three hundred billion.
In fact, the current market value of 1.5 trillion yuan means that those large institutions predict that Kingkong Capital's revenue will be 200 to 300 billion yuan. Those large institutions cannot be unaware of the data they can think of.
It's just that they don't want to.
Because Kingkong Capital is not in the same camp as them.
If so, if such a incredible company appeared, they would definitely exaggerate its value to be 10 trillion.
…
At this time, Li Yuan was test driving his car in the suburbs.
He was very satisfied with the car. He could finally get rid of those old cars in his garage.
In his eyes, those fuel-powered cars are just old-age cars.
There are no luxury cars in his garage. They are all cars worth four or five hundred thousand yuan. The interior is terrible and the car computers are even worse. Some of the cars even have CD cassettes.
Those functions can be put into museums...
As for the three big things? Sorry, they are not needed for electric cars, as they belong to another track.
For around 200,000 yuan, you can get luxurious and stylish interior, spacious space and excellent driving experience.
With a car price of over 300,000 yuan, the riding experience can be maximized.
Yu Yue got out of the car. Li Yuan had just driven him around in the car, but he didn't even dare to sit down.
He has no confidence in these two cars.
Seeing that Li Yuan was in a good mood, he asked, "Boss, is this car really good?"
He doesn't get the benefit of this car.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, that's great. Next, I'll start to think of a way to hide the lidar package for me. I'll have to pay attention to it when the next generation is revised, otherwise it will affect the appearance of the entire car."
"OK."
Yu Yue still likes his Mercedes-Benz E. He also plans to wait for a while and buy an S or Maybach for future travel.
The company's official car is a Hongqi, which he thinks is too bulky, and he also thinks the brand is not that strong.
"Also, prepare 20 small and medium-sized cars for me, and ship them to my hometown to get license plates before the New Year. At the same time, arrange for people to build a few charging stations in my hometown, and leave space in the garage."
"Yes, yes."
Li Yuan continued, "From now on, the company's management must drive our own cars when attending any meetings or public occasions."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Yu Yue felt that his dream of owning a Mercedes-Benz S was shattered.
I guess I'll have to wait until I retire.
After all, compared to driving, work is obviously more important.
Besides, Li Yuan, the richest man in China, drives his own car, so he has even less reason to do so.
Li Yuan asked again: "How many cars have been ordered so far?"
“There are only more than 500 vehicles at the moment.”
"Well, let's do this for now. It's better to have fewer orders. We should train our service staff well and at least tell the users where the three or five hundred thousand yuan was spent."
It has been a little more than two years since the car was first manufactured.
However, it only took one and a half years from setting up the production line to the new car rolling off the assembly line.
Li Yuan can guarantee that this car is 100% domestically produced and no particularly big brands are used, including the interior.
However, the quality is absolutely in line with the requirements of big brands. Service agreements are signed, and if quality problems occur, the penalty for breach of contract is not low.
To put it bluntly, apart from the motor, battery, car computer, and electronic control, there is nothing high-tech in the other parts used in the car.
Real leather? Who hasn't ordered real leather yet?
Color grading? Who doesn’t know how to do it?
Mood lighting? Who doesn’t have it?
Speakers? That stuff is more.
It’s simply that many domestic brands lack brand power, so they can only castrate themselves and reduce quality to compete in the low-price market.
Just like Li Yuan’s principle, he will not compete directly with others. If others are willing to use imported accessories as a selling point, that is their business.
He only demands quality.
because……
He himself is a wealthy family, he himself is the top brand, there is no need to use other brands to set him off.
A premium product made up of a bunch of brands is not necessarily a good thing. It is more likely to be a waste of money.
The less they have, the more they like to brag about foreign goods. Foreign big-name speakers, big-name seat leather...
Li Yuan started selling services from electric cars.
Only the service industry can accommodate enough people.
The automotive services industry is just the beginning.
Li Yuan drove straight home.
His car was specially made, with some parts parameters changed.
Such as car glass and tires.
The car's software facilities are already fully loaded, and what is lacking is the optimization of the car itself.
For example, the chassis is not particularly good and cannot compare with the BBA models that cost three or five hundred thousand yuan.
These are the objects that need to be improved in the next generation.
…
Unlike Fu Zonghai's crazy fans, many people also knew about Li Yuan's car manufacturing. After seeing the pricing, they all had only one feeling.
Li Yuan is crazy!
Why does a domestic car cost three or five hundred thousand?
Who gave you the courage?
Putting aside the comments of Li Yuan’s brainless fans, there was not a single passerby who did not curse when they saw the news.
It seems that this trend has been discovered and capital has begun to add fuel to the fire.
Scold Li Yuan? To them, it was ZZZQ
Li Yuan has too many enemies.
Everyone wants to see how Li Yuan will step down after being so arrogant this time.
So, although Li Yuan clearly did not advertise, that evening, all major platforms began to promote this matter.
Many car reviewers appear to be "rational" on the surface, but in fact they are satirizing that Venus Motors is garbage and has no car-making experience at all.
What's worse, some people directly criticized Li Yuan for being too arrogant, saying that this was the biggest strategic mistake Li Yuan had ever made and that he was not qualified to build cars at all.
Those arguments were well-reasoned and passers-by could see that they made sense.
Subconsciously, people label Qixing Automobile as a waste of money. If anyone around you buys one, they will be laughed at for the rest of their lives.
"I like to tell the truth. Li Yuan has a strong appeal, which is undeniable. If he makes a car worth hundreds of thousands, I think it would not be surprising to sell tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of units a year. But the fact that he can set such a price only shows that he does not understand cars at all! A car worth three or five hundred thousand depends on brand power, luxury background, and most importantly, technology! I drive a Mercedes-Benz C worth more than three hundred thousand, and I dare not use the spare parts of Qixing Automobile. I usually choose original parts for car repairs. Even if the quality of aftermarket parts is the same, I think it is an insult to luxury cars. The supplier of Qixing Automobile does not even have the quality of those aftermarket parts. It is a pure garbage. Whoever buys it will regret it!"
A certain internet celebrity worth millions said.
