My Age of Investment

   In July, the sun was scorching hot, and the capital, like most parts of the country, entered the hottest season of the year.

  But no matter how hot the weather is, it cannot match the enthusiasm brought by the upcoming Fuxing Automobile Conference.

  After half a year of careful preparation and planning, this press conference, which countless car fans and technology enthusiasts have been looking forward to, finally kicked off.

  At night on the 15th of that month, the Wukesong Stadium in Beijing was brightly lit and crowded with people. At first glance, it was a lively scene, and those who didn't know thought it was some singer holding a concert.

  The nearly 10,000 spectators who were invited to the scene were mainly divided into three parts.

  The first part, that is, sitting in the front row is a well-known face of Zhang, who is also a leader in various industries, such as Jack Ma, Lei Jun, Zhou Hongyi, Charles Zhang, Li Shufu, Wang Chuanfu, Xu Tingyin...

   Sitting in a row behind them are representatives of some outstanding youth entrepreneurs, such as Huang Xin, He Xiaopeng, Li Xiang, Zhang Tao and others.

   It is no exaggeration to say that at least half of the new economic industry leaders represented by the Internet, IT, and semiconductors are here today.

   After all, it was the press conference hosted by Mr. Xia himself on stage. Whether it was to repay the favor owed before, or to cooperate in the future, he had to give face to support him.

  Compared to the group of CEOs and presidents who pay attention to their image, all of them are sitting in a stately manner, the 3,000 intended car owners sitting in the middle seat seem much more casual.

  They are discussing what the upcoming revival car looks like and whether it is worth buying.

   Regardless of the 3,000 people present here, each of them has paid a car purchase intention fee of 5,000 yuan through online and offline channels such as Fuxing Home and Fuxing Mall, but they still reserve the freedom to refund at any time.

  Although they were very grateful to Mr. Xia for spending huge sums of money to hire twelve planes and 80 high-speed train carriages to take them to the capital to attend the new car launch event, but one size counts for one size.

  Anyway, the official customer service also said that they will never buy or sell by force. If you are not satisfied, just treat it as a free trip to Beijing.

  More excited and noisy than the 3,000 intended car owners are the 5,000 lucky spectators sitting behind them.

  They are not entrepreneurs, nor are they intended users to buy cars, but some "iron fans" selected by Fuxingzhizhi flagship store, Fuxing Mall and other channels based on past consumption records.

  The reason why they are called "iron fans" is because they really support the development of Fuxing Industrial Group too much.

  The 5,000 people who came to the scene today held Fuxing mobile phones and tablets in their hands, and used a full range of Fuxing home appliances at home. Maybe they will drive Fuxing cars in the future.

  Even Xia Jingxing didn't expect that among the tens of millions of members who registered Fuxing One Account, there were hundreds of thousands of die-hard fans who bought all the ToC products launched by Fuxing Industrial Group's "individual consumer business".

  After learning about this, Xia Jingxing was very happy, after all, this was the affirmation and trust from hundreds of thousands of families.

  So with a big wave of his hand, he decided to add another 50 million yuan to the original 50 million yuan activity budget, and invited 5,000 loyal fans and 3,000 interested car owners to the capital to witness the grand event of the addition of new members to the Fuxing family.

   Regardless of whether these 5,000 people will continue to support the new products and services launched by Fuxing Industrial Group in the future, at least he must let the billions of potential consumers know clearly that Fuxing Industrial Group is different from those outsiders who only play tricks, say that they are grateful to customers and put customers first.

  This is not nonsense, but based on facts. No, whenever there is something at home, I invite my friends to "dinner".

  Fuxing Industry Group invited 8,000 people from all over the country to Beijing to participate in the conference, and also provided food and travel expenses. Not only did it move the loyal users, but it also dominated the top Weibo searches for many days, creating a high topicality in the society.

   Regarding this initiative, the current social comments are severely polarized.

  Some media and netizens think it’s too high-profile. Just hold the press conference briefly. There’s no need to make it so flashy. With 100 million yuan, it’s better to honestly invest in technology research and development, or donate to the Hope Project. It’s better than ruining it.

   At the same time, some media and netizens refuted the above point of view, believing that Mr. Xia managed a successful marketing campaign, spending 100 million yuan to create an advertising effect that even a billion yuan could not buy.

  In short, no matter what netizens and the media say, Fuxing Automobile, a little transparent car that has been silent for more than two years, is still under the spotlight.

  The scene of the press conference.

  As the lights were turned off one by one, the assembly hall of nearly ten thousand people gradually became quiet. After a while, Xia Jingxing, who was wearing a white polo shirt with Fuxing Industry Logo printed on it, walked onto the stage slowly, and finally stood in the center of the stage.

   "Good evening, everyone!"

  Xia Jingxing faced the auditorium with a bright smile and waved his hand, which drew cheers from the audience.

  At the same time, the overwhelming shouts around made Jack Ma frown a little, and then he pretended to pick his ears inadvertently.

   Coincidentally, when he tilted his head, he happened to meet Zhou Hongyi, who was sitting in the same row but separated by several seats.

  Zhou Hongyi is also cleaning his ears!

  The two people who picked out their ears just made eye contact, and then looked away.

   Both of them suddenly murmured in their hearts. It seems that I am not the only one who is getting more and more "impatient".

  Jack Ma watched the GMV of Jingxi Mall hit new highs every day. It is impossible to say that he has no lumps in his heart.

  Although Xia Jingxing once explained to him that it was just an ordinary investment behavior, but last month, Envision Capital recruited a bald man from Russia to invest 1 billion U.S. dollars in Jingxi Group together?

   Also last year, Jingxi Group announced a high-profile financing of 500 million US dollars, which was also invested by Envision Capital and Gao Ling Capital.

  Why raise so much money? It is self-evident who it is aimed at.

   You know, Mr. Xia, you hold a large amount of shares in Ahri!

  For Xia Jingxing's empathy, Jack Ma was deeply hurt and resentful.

   But who made Xia Jing become so powerful, he still dare not turn against this major shareholder. Even if the other party held a new car conference tomorrow, he would still have to continue running to cheer.

   On the other side, Zhou Hongyi also complained about Xia Jingxing in his heart, full of resentment for Xia Jingxing's sudden launch of the "Sogou" search engine.

  At the beginning, it was clearly agreed that everyone would engage in Chihiro together and share the benefits together, but you secretly swallowed the biggest result of the battle. What you did was really unethical.

   There are quite a few people who are in the same depressed mood as Ma and the people on Tuesday. For example, Huang Xin and Zhang Tao, a pair of colleagues who were so red-eyed in the "Thousand Regiments War", glanced at each other, and could smell the smell of gunpowder bursting between them through the air.

  Due to the fast burning of money, both of them have been looking for the father of the funder recently, and they both found the father Xia who had just returned to China, but the latter always said that the time had not come and asked them to consolidate the market again.

  The two of them didn't understand this very much, and both felt that Xia Jingxing was deliberately favoring the other side.

   There is also He Xiaopeng, who has secretly glanced at Wang Xiaochuan several times.

  A few months ago, under the "coercion and lure" of the patron's father Xia Jingxing, He Xiaopeng agreed to fully support the development of the Sogou search engine.

   Just a search engine is actually not bad.

  The key is that Sogou has its own browser. UC's move is more like leading a wolf into a house.

  The two companies have been cooperating for a while now, and He Xiaopeng has long since regretted that he might as well have sold UC to a domestic holding group.

   Now it is considered to be smashed in the hands. If things go on like this, I am afraid that the blood will be sucked dry by Sogou, and finally discarded by the other party like a rag.

  Thinking of this, He Xiaopeng turned his gaze to Jack Ma who was sitting not far in front of him, and said silently in his heart: Mr. Xia, if you continue to do this, even if I don’t want to betray the teacher, I have to do it.

  Compared to giants such as 360, Qianxun and Overseas Holdings, UC, which has not yet been listed, is too thin in terms of capital, and must find a big backer for itself.

   There are actually very few options in front of He Xiaopeng, or none at all.

  Penguin is already in decline, and Shanda has fallen behind. Only Ari looks like a king, and he is also the best target.

  Although all the "disciples of the Xia family" in the auditorium were full of evil intentions, they still had a smile on their faces. While listening to Xia Jingxing's hard-working speech on the stage, they raised their arms and followed the surrounding audience to applaud.

  Xia Jingxing didn't have time to pay attention to it, or in other words, he didn't care about the intrigue of the people below, and all his thoughts were put on this press conference.

  After a brief opening remark, Xia Jingxing stopped his speech, held his breath together with the audience, and watched the curtain behind him slowly open, and two cars with unique shapes, which were very different from gasoline vehicles at first glance, slowly drove onto the stage.

  With hidden door handles and a closed front face design without an air intake grille, the whole vehicle has a rounded shape and smooth lines. It looks simple and elegant and full of a sense of technology.

  Under the gaze of nearly ten thousand eyes, the two cars slowly parked on the two rotating platforms beside Xia Jingxing, and then began to rotate 360 ​​degrees at a slow speed, so that the audience could appreciate and look at the appearance of the cars from different angles.

   Under the illumination of countless lights on the stage, the paint of the two white and black cars looked extraordinarily shiny.

  Under the stage, every audience stared wide-eyed at the moment, looking critically for the shortcomings of the car's exterior design.

  When everyone looked at the car at 360 degrees without dead ends, they couldn't help sighing in their hearts: Is this really a domestic car?

   As we all know, the domestic auto industry started late and was congenitally stunted, which has almost become synonymous with inferior cars.

  The Fuxing Automobile that just debuted today seems to be different from other domestically produced cars, giving people a refreshing feeling.

  Some viewers compared it with several cars launched by Tesla.

   Then I discovered that the two brands have a lot in common with each other, such as hidden door handles, closed front faces, slip-back shapes and so on.

   But there are more differences. Compared with Tesla's slightly rigid front face design, Fuxing Auto's front face design is more colorful and atmospheric.

  First of all, the two light strips are more slender and more visually sharp.

  Secondly, the lines on the hood are slightly raised, which looks more sporty.

  After the scene was quiet for a while, the audience who came back to their senses gave warm applause one after another.

  Seeing this scene, Xia Jingxing finally let go of his hanging heart, and a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that everyone was quite satisfied with the exterior design of the car, and this first hurdle was passed.

   Next, there are more challenging second and third levels waiting for him to pass.

   Soon, the big screen behind Xia Jingxing lit up, and pictures and videos began to play in the form of a slideshow in turn, Xia Jingxing introduced from the side.

  “As the first car launched under Fuxing Motor, we named it Fuxing F1.”

   "F corresponds to the initial letter of "fly", and it is also the best embodiment of Fuxing Automobile's development speed and acceleration performance."

   "I originally wanted to name it the "X" series, but found out that it had already been pre-registered by BMW! There was no way but to give up. Haha, just kidding everyone, don't take it seriously."

   "Okay, let's get down to business. The length, width, and height of the revival F1 introduced today are 5101mm, 1987mm, and 1509mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3060mm. According to the general classification standard of the automobile industry, it is a medium-to-large sedan..."

   "If it is divided according to the cruising range, Fuxing F1 is divided into two configurations, namely 70KWh and 90KWh, and the corresponding cruising ranges are 410 kilometers and 520 kilometers respectively."

   "In addition, there are two versions of single motor and dual motor, and the corresponding zero-hundred-thousand acceleration performance and cruising range are different."

   "The highest configuration of Fuxing F1 is the dual-motor four-wheel drive version, and the zero-to-hundred-acceleration time of the track test is 3.1 seconds."

  …

  As Xia Jingxing reported the astonishing parameters of the car, the audience was dumbfounded.

   Some knowledgeable people made a comparison with the Tesla Model S, and then found a very interesting thing.

  The high-end version of Fuxing F1 is slightly better than the high-end version of ModelS, and the low-end version is also slightly better than the latter’s low-end version.

   In such a comparison, except for the price that has not yet been announced, wouldn’t other items completely beat Tesla?

  After introducing the car configuration, Xia Jingxing began to introduce the car interior and various car functions.

  The audience was shocked again when they saw the car interior on the big screen.

   "Yes, you read that right, Fuxing F1 is innovatively equipped with a dual screen."

  Xia Jingxing's face was filled with a kind of smug smile. The dual-screen design should have been launched by Mercedes-Benz in two years, but since I have taken a fancy to it... Hehe, sorry, bring it here!

  Fuxing F1 has many subversive interior designs. In addition to a dual screen, there is also a large screen in the center of the control. Tesla also has this design, but Tesla does not have a dual screen. Compared with Fuxing, it is much simpler.

   Of course, from another perspective, it can also be said that Fuxing Automobile is much more complicated.

   But complexity has complexity benefits!

   It doesn't take long for the audience to realize this benefit.

  I saw a simulated animation video playing on the big screen behind Xia Jingxing.

  In the screen, a simulated person gently swipes a few times with his finger on the large central control screen, and then easily completes seat adjustment, ventilation, heating, air conditioning adjustment and many other operations that should be done on physical buttons.

  After seeing this scene, not only the ordinary audience, but even the industry leaders sitting in the first few rows began to feel a little uneasy.

   "Fuxing Auto integrates so many new technologies? How did they do it?"

   "Have you forgotten Fuxing Zhijia? People have long been able to control most home appliances through a screen, and now they just move this mature technology from the room to the car."

   "How many new technologies has Mr. Xia developed without telling everyone in the past few years? It's dizzying."

   "If you like it, buy one and go back and study it."

   "It's up to you to say, I've already booked it!"

  …

   Soon, the audience discovered the new world again.

  In the video, the screen of the mobile phone is projected onto the large central control screen of the car.

  From map navigation to music playback and even video playback, all the apps and operation interfaces that can be used in the mobile phone are perfectly synchronized with the large central control screen.

   Behind this is the fact that Fuxing Industry Group already has extraordinary attainments in the fields of car networking software and car-machine system research and development.

  Of course, limited by the current 3G network, most functions are relatively flashy, and there is a serious lack of supporting infrastructure. It will be fine in two or three years.

  The press conference continued, and when one new technology after another was presented in front of the audience, most of them were already numb.

  Don't talk about it, just report the amount directly, everyone should swipe the card! Just buy it.

   So, how much is the price of the revival F1?

   Everyone is very interested in this question, and they can't wait to know.

   The audience didn't have to wait too long. The screen on the big screen flashed, and then a table appeared, which listed the price of the car in detail for each configuration version.

   "70KWh battery pack, single motor rear drive version, the price is 418,000 yuan. According to the current subsidy policy for the purchase of new energy vehicles, the price after the subsidy is 358,000 yuan."

   "70KWh battery pack, dual-motor four-wheel drive version, the price is 468,000 yuan, and the price after subsidies is 408,000 yuan."

  …

   "The 90KWh battery pack, dual-motor four-wheel drive version is priced at 528,000 yuan, and the price after subsidies is 468,000 yuan."
