Chapter 1169 Life Makes People Grow

"You are really awesome this time!" In Li Yihang's manor club, Zhu Hengyi gave Yang Dongxu a thumbs up, and Qian Liang, Lan Lan and others were beside him.

"But while you are awesome, can you not be so shocked when doing things? Do you know that I almost had a heart attack when I heard that you killed someone abroad and used a gun?"

Although it was a joke, it can be heard that Nong Nong's friends are concerned.

To be honest, Yang Dongxu did shock many people after the overseas shooting incident was reported to China. Qian Liang and others still feel a sense of fear when they think about it now.

Although they are not from simple backgrounds and have seen big scenes. But in peacetime, wars basically exist in TV dramas and movies.

When a real case happens next to you, and the person involved is your friend. That kind of shock cannot be expressed in words at all.

"You know I'm most afraid of trouble, but sometimes trouble has to find me, what can I do." Yang Dongxu also smiled bitterly with some helplessness, "But this time, thank you in advance, brother."

Yang Dongxu gathered the wine glass in his hand. When he got into trouble, even his own company was in a mess. If Zhou Ya hadn't stepped in to suppress it, I don't know how big a commotion it would have caused.

And these friends in front of him didn't care about anything else and stood up to support him at the first time. It really touched him. Although some people feel that the more they go up, the more they talk about interest exchange and compromise, friendship is still everywhere.

Interest binding actually just allows friendship to grow better in fertile soil, not to say that nothing will be left if interests are abandoned.

"That's too polite." Qian Liang said with a smile.

"That's right." Lan Lan echoed beside her, and her husband Wang Gang sat next to her.

Don't look at Wang Gang, who is big and strong and has served in the army, but after getting along with him, you feel that he is a rough person on the outside, but a little elegant in his heart. The rough look he usually looks like is just an illusion caused by his huge body.

Because of the accidental acquaintance of Du Weiwei before, and the exchanges of some things afterwards. The relationship between Lan Lan and Yang Dongxu is heating up rapidly.

This makes Lan Lan look at Qian Liang and other people who clearly knew Yang Dongxu at the same time as her, but now they are living a very comfortable life. Even some of the second-generation rich people before, now because they have a lot of assets in their hands, are slowly being valued by their families.

It would be a lie to say that she has no waves in her heart. After all, she is no longer a girl in her twenties. Because her family is superior and there is no hatred, she thinks about where to go to play all day long. Those places are fun and a bit heartless.

She is now in her thirties and a wife and mother. Her personality has matured a lot after years of baptism. So it is inevitable that she will start to change in some things.

After all, it is impossible for people living in this world to be completely insulated. It is not that you don’t want to care about things, but things have nothing to do with you.

There is a popular saying on the Internet in later generations, "You finally become the person you hated before."

This sentence sounds a bit literary at first, but you can taste the bitterness and sweetness in it if you savor it carefully. Even a lady like Lanlan, who was born like a fairy, has to learn to change and adapt in the big dye vat of life.

She even started to do the things that she hated and even disdained before. And how an ordinary person is smoothed by life. The hardships and grievances experienced can be imagined.

"Volkswagen has a new model, which is a little lower than the previous price, but the performance is very good. It is said that the public security system is very interested." After the greetings, everyone drank a few glasses of wine and started to talk about it. Zhu Hengyi said.

"I think it is really good." Yang Dongxu smiled and nodded.

Volkswagen suddenly launched a new model, and it was not the Audi logo, but the double W logo. When Volkswagen and Audi are two brands in the eyes of Chinese people, the former is in the low-end market, while the latter is the luxury car route.

But in fact, they are indeed a company, so Volkswagen's new models seem to be the business of the domestic joint venture car companies GAC and FAW. But when it comes to official cars, if you say there is no shadow of Audi behind it, no one will believe it.

As Huaxia BMW gradually opens up foreign markets, although it has not done much abroad. But the signboard of pure imported cars has also been established, and both the quality and reputation have always been very good.

In the field of official cars, coupled with the establishment of the brand of national enterprises. Although Audi has expanded a lot of markets in recent years, it has not formed the situation of a monopoly in official cars in the previous life. Instead, Huaxia BMW has taken away a lot of the market.

Now it can be said that there are two companies in the world of official cars. Although Audi has a slight advantage, Huaxia BMW's performance is not bad at all.

So when the new models developed by Volkswagen are of interest to the public security system, this is undoubtedly the other party's expansion of new territory in official cars.

Because before, both Audi and Huaxia BMW took the route of business cars. Most of the models are atmospheric and stable business types.

However, police cars have certain off-road capabilities. For example, many grassroots police cars are jeeps. And they are all old jeeps. In addition, police cars have indeed reached the stage of replacing old cars with new ones in recent years, and the new models developed by Volkswagen are very accurate.

"Then should the company also keep up? You were busy negotiating with the UK before and were not in China. All the company's strategic plans have been shelved now." 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 reduce 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 laugh out of their dreams. Then every month, car sales are soaring as if equipped with a rocket propeller.

When Yang Dongxu first started working on China BMW, 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 common it is, 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 before.

"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 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 them 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 there is no secret about this model, it is just that the appearance gives people a novel feeling, and the car performance makes people feel very good, with off-road and comfort.

In short, all of this is a comprehensive arrangement on the original basis, not a breakthrough in key technology. So it is impossible to achieve monopoly. This is a comprehensive application of the design of the appearance of a car 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 the car model quickly.

Especially for big car companies like Volkswagen and Honda, perhaps other small companies will rush to launch SUVs and there will be some problems such as fuel consumption, chassis, wheelbase, etc.

But in front of big cars with sufficient technical reserves and rich production experience, these are actually not problems. It is okay for Huaxia BMW Automobile Company to be the first to come up with it, but it is impossible to monopolize it.

After all, it is not that you have invented a commercial 16-cylinder engine. As long as the technology is blocked, others can only stare blankly.

The decline of SUV is just a change of shape for the car. Give them some time and they will explain everything to you clearly. There are no so-called technical barriers at all, so there is naturally no way to monopolize the entire market.
