87: Farm vehicle? No, it's a little wild horse!

[This little car costs 100,000, and I still think it's cheap.]

[An agricultural vehicle for 100,000, and you still think it's cheap? Are you crazy?]

[Even trash like the Jimny sells for 160,000, so why can't the longmao, with performance far exceeding it, sell for 100,000?]

"The performance model has a top speed of 140 km/h. Of course, it will also consume more fuel, but car enthusiasts, don't worry. We have specially equipped a sub-tank, increasing the range to 800 kilometers on a full tank," Lu Shenwei said loudly.

[Holy crap! Is this still an agricultural vehicle?]

[Brother above, can't you understand yet? High-low pairing. The improved model captures the market at a low price, while the performance model is likely here to harvest high profits.]

[As long as the performance model doesn't exceed 150,000, I can accept it.]

[Instant fan, Julong Steel has something going for it.]

[Hurry up and announce the price, you're killing me!]

The bosses off-stage muttered: "If Lis Group doesn't have a backup plan, I'm afraid Qinchuan's agricultural machinery market will change its surname to Lu starting tomorrow."

"It's not just agricultural machinery; the passenger car market, especially the market share of small pickups, will also be squeezed by the longmao agricultural vehicle."

"As long as Lu Shenwei doesn't get too carried away, the longmao agricultural vehicle will definitely be a huge success."

"Ma Quanlin and Wang Zizhong really chose the right person this time. They are all young people. Compared to Director Lu, our family's second-generation heir is just mud that can't be plastered onto a wall."

"Sigh, don't mention it, whose family isn't like that?"

Zhou Wen, standing on the side, sighed: "Lu Shenwei is on the verge of ascending like a dragon. Once the longmao agricultural vehicle opens up the market, Julong Steel will surely rank among the top ten large enterprises in Qinchuan."

"District Chief, if I may say, it's your insight. You deserve half the credit for Julong Steel's success. With this achievement, it will be easy to become an Executive Vice Mayor in two years," Huang Liang flattered with a smile.

Zhou Wen said casually: "It's not that easy. So many people are eyeing the vacancies in the leadership team. At most, I can get into the position of Vice Mayor; I don't dare think about being Executive Vice Mayor."

To reach the vice-mayor level, he would probably need to be sent out to gain experience for two years.

[Why hasn't Director Lu announced the price yet? What's going on?]

[Xiao Ying, hurry up and urge Director Lu, and by the way, help me pre-order a car.]

"I've called out, but it's too far and Director Lu can't hear me," Bai Xiaoying said helplessly.

On the other side, the car review streamers were all stunned looking at the information released for the longmao performance edition.

Lord Lian was the first one unable to sit still: "Isn't this just a full-size shrunk-down Little Bronco with increased configurations?"

[Lord Lian, we can talk about that later. Can you help me pre-order a car?]

[The new Bronco starts at a minimum of 300,000, and the longmao small car performance model can be under 100,000?]

[The two can't be compared at all. If you have money, buy a Bronco; if you don't, buy a longmao small car to play with.]

[The 1.2-meter cargo bed is a bit smaller than a regular pickup, but it's completely sufficient for fishing and camping.]

[Only children make choices, and I choose both!]

[In the face of absolute cost-performance, things like Shanhai Cannon and Ranger are all trash.]

On stage, seeing that the atmosphere was well-built, Lu Shenwei gripped the microphone tightly and said: "I heard many car enthusiasts asking about the pricing just now, and I think there's no need to worry about that."

"Dragon Xia people don't cheat Dragon Xia people. 80,000, 100,000? That doesn't fit the purpose of Julong Steel products being economical, sturdy, and durable at all."

[Holy crap! The performance model is priced below 80,000? It's going to sell out, isn't it? What are we waiting for!]

[A small pickup under 80,000, don't stop me, I'm going to bow to Director Lu first!]

[Under 80,000 to fulfill your dream of wilderness exploration, isn't it worth it?]

[Hurry up and tell us! Don't keep me in suspense anymore.]

"The main points have been delivered. The final price for our performance model longmao is—36,800!!! Absolutely conscientious!!!"

As Lu Shenwei shouted, the red silk covering the performance model longmao small car was pulled away.

A silver-gray longmao small car with a tougher appearance, equipped with off-road anti-skid tires and matrix headlights, entered the audience's view.

[36,800? Holy crap! Less than the price of two bottles of moutai?]

[Less than 40,000? Same price as an elderly mobility scooter?]

[What is Julong Steel trying to do? Flip the table?]

[Oh my god! The Shanhai Cannon is trembling, the Ranger has already cried itself to sleep in the toilet, and the Tank 300 has exploded on the spot!]

[This price is insane. I want to buy five to form a fleet.]

"Tough body, exaggerated headlights, full-size large rims, what man wouldn't love this?"

The District Chief was already at a loss for words, and Lord Lian was so excited he couldn't speak clearly.

"Brothers, I'm not saying anything else, charge with me!"

[This price can already slaughter the A-class market below 100,000, and it even has extremely strong competitiveness in the 100,000-150,000 range.]

[It's not just the Qinchuan agricultural machinery market that's going to tremble now; the entire Dragon Xia auto market is going to have a major reshuffle.]

[Seeing this, I can only say one thing: Julong Steel is awesome!]

Looking at the crazy expressions of the crowd off-stage, Lu Shenwei smiled with satisfaction.

Even though the price of the high-end longmao small car had been lowered to 36,800, there was still a profit of 5,000 per vehicle.

With the improvement of production technology in the later stages, costs could be squeezed even further.

With the super high quality and low price of the longmao small car, what does Lis Group have to fight us with?

Lu Shenwei raised his hand to signal the audience to be quiet: "Thank you all for your company throughout. After the press conference, we will open online full-payment reservations at 12:00 noon today."

"Thank you all for your continued support, thank you!"

Lu Shenwei waved to the crowd, and the new vehicle launch event for the longmao agricultural vehicle officially concluded.

"Director Lu, the response to the press conference is very good. Many people have already entrusted me to order cars," Wang Zizhong said with a grin from ear to ear.

Ma Quanlin said excitedly: "Our longmao agricultural vehicle production and R&D department has finally come alive. Old Wang, are we going to have a couple of drinks today?"

"Two drinks aren't enough, at least two bottles!" Wang Zizhong said boldly.

Ever since he took over the production of the longmao agricultural vehicle, he hadn't rested much for nearly two years. He must get drunk tonight.

"You two old uncles drink well, I'll keep an eye on the production line tonight," Lu Shenwei said with a smile.

Where there is joy for some, there is sorrow for others.

At the Lis Group building, everyone looked worried.

Li Zewen, who had been watching the live broadcast the whole time, was already numb. With the 36,800 and 19,800 price points for the two high and low configuration models, as long as there were no quality control issues, Lis Group would be unable to parry.

"President, what do we do now?" the assistant asked bitterly.

With Julong Steel's production capacity, he believed they would soon eat up the entire Qinchuan agricultural machinery market share.

The sales of Lis agricultural machinery were plummeting, and the fertilizer sold in combination probably wouldn't fare any better.

Li Zewen's face was livid, and he said coldly: "Go find Zewu and bring him back."

Li Zewu used underhanded tactics to help the longmao agricultural vehicle get subsidies, trying to regain the right to speak within Lis Group.

After discovering this, Li Zewen sent his brother to Australia for a vacation, but the kid still wasn't settled.

Since he felt he could manage the massive Lis Group, then let him come.

Julong Steel, since I can't beat you fairly, I'll have to resort to some underhanded tricks.
