158: Are there really supercars?

Porsche Headquarters.

President's Office.

Ferdinand and Liu Jun, for once, opened a bottle of red wine and began to enjoy it.

Liu Jun bowed and scraped, saying obsequiously,

"That's why you're the boss. Once public opinion ferments like this…"

"The FIA will have to think twice about giving Fenglei entry qualifications."

Upon hearing this,

Ferdinand smiled triumphantly.

"This move is what you Chinese call an overt scheme."

"Hmph, now we've pushed Fenglei into the spotlight, letting netizens worldwide supervise this matter."

"The FIA, even if it wants to turn a blind eye, will have to listen to the opinions of the netizens."

"If they abuse their power, where will their credibility be in the future?"

"And for Fenglei to try and operate behind the scenes, that's even more impossible."

"Supercars aren't just built and that's it."

"Leaving aside whether their performance meets standards, they must at least invite internationally renowned media to hold a press conference."

"They need to publicly display the actual car, and the data must pass the tests of professional evaluation agencies."

"Especially to participate in international events like the Supercar Racing Competition, and that's just to obtain the entry qualification."

"To become a true supercar, the most important thing is market recognition."

"Unfortunately, Fenglei has none of these."

"They want to take a shortcut through the Qatar Prince? Don't even think about it!"

After listening, Liu Jun gave a thumbs up.

"Boss, this move is truly brilliant."

"There are only three days left until the competition. Even if they wanted to operate behind the scenes, it's too late."

"Now Fenglei is caught between a rock and a hard place. Let's see how they get out of this…"

Just as his voice fell,

There was an urgent knocking sound from outside the door.

"Boss, urgent matter to report."

Ferdinand frowned. He hated nothing more than being interrupted when he was in a good mood.

However, upon hearing the words "urgent matter," he still suppressed the anger in his chest.

"Come in."

He said.

The sexy female secretary walked in with a hurried "clack-clack-clack" of her high heels.

She looked flustered.

"Boss, something's happened!"

After hearing the secretary's words, Ferdinand's heart involuntarily pounded.

The secretary had followed him for many years, was well-experienced, and rarely showed such an expression.

The last time she was so flustered was the last time.

He immediately asked,

"What is it? Speak quickly!"

The female secretary took a breath before speaking.

"Fenglei, Fenglei…"

Buzz!

Upon hearing the name Fenglei, Ferdinand felt a headache coming on.

Without even thinking, he knew Fenglei must have stirred up new trouble.

"What about Fenglei? Speak quickly."

"Boss, please see for yourself."

The female secretary immediately opened the news on her phone and handed it to Ferdinand.

Ferdinand and Liu Jun immediately leaned in, and a trending topic on the screen struck them like lightning.

【Shocking: In response to the mockery from the Top Ten Luxury Cars, China's Fenglei announces it will participate in this year's Global Supercar Racing Competition.】

As soon as this news broke, netizens erupted.

All sorts of comments flew around in the comment section.

"???????"

"What??"

"Fenglei is really participating in the Supercar Racing Competition??"

"No way, has China really built its own supercar??"

"Unbelievable, this is simply unbelievable."

"Oh my God, this is too crazy!"

…

Domestic netizens, on the other hand, cheered.

"66666!!"

"I knew Fenglei would step up."

"Damn, who was saying China couldn't produce supercars earlier? Come out and speak up?!"

"Fenglei is awesome, truly a domestic divine car!!"

"Who still dares to mock our domestic cars as inferior? Come out and apologize."

"Where are the European haters? Where's your sense of superiority??"

"At the crucial moment, it still has to be Fenglei!!"

"Fenglei, forever the god!!"

Of course, some people remained skeptical.

"Wait, Fenglei doesn't seem to have received recognition from the FIA yet, right?"

"The thor m14 doesn't seem to be on the market yet. Does this comply with the competition rules?"

"Could it be a marketing stunt to gain popularity??"

…

Originally, domestic cars were looked down upon and openly mocked by Europeans.

Domestic car companies were all afraid to speak up, and netizens were seething with anger.

Suddenly, Fenglei stepped forward and announced its participation in the Supercar Racing Competition.

This excited many netizens and allowed them to vent their frustration.

But very quickly, everyone realized.

The supercar Fenglei spoke of did not seem to have been recognized by any authoritative institution yet.

The only highly credible point was the 30 billion order signed with the Qatar Prince.

But this alone was not enough to prove that Fenglei truly had a supercar.

This was awkward.

They couldn't possibly enter previous models, could they??

Strictly speaking,

The thunder dragon m11, the bath fire m12, and the thunder m13 released not long ago, were not sports cars.

Their market positioning was commercial vehicles.

Whether in terms of exterior design, interior, or overall concept, they differed from traditionally defined sports cars.

And at this moment,

The FIA also noticed this trending topic and immediately tagged Fenglei's official account.

"Participation in the Supercar Racing Competition requires a supercar that has been recognized by the market or an authoritative institution."

"Which model does Fenglei intend to use for the competition?"

"The competition rules state that only mass-produced supercars can be used; other models will not be accepted."

These words couldn't be clearer.

It meant that Fenglei currently had no market-recognized supercars, and commercial vehicles or other models were not eligible to compete.

Even if their commercial vehicles were faster than rockets, this event belonged only to supercars.

In the industry,

Many friendly competitors simply burst into laughter.

Fenglei… are they perhaps desperate for attention?

Without a supercar, what would they use to vindicate domestic cars?

Their heads??

And under the gaze of numerous doubts,

Fenglei's official account quickly responded to the FIA.

"Fenglei will participate in this competition with its new car, the thor m14."

"And the actual car has already been sent for certification to an international authoritative institution, and we believe the results will be out tomorrow."

As soon as the news broke,

The overall online popularity surged directly to the top.

Netizens were stunned, completely captivated by this news.

"They really have one??"

"Even the actual car is out? And it's been sent to an authoritative institution for testing??"

"Holy cow, holy cow!"

"Damn, do they have to play it this exciting??"

"I'm not well-read, don't lie to me!"

…

Friendly competitors also gasped in cold air.

They had been gloating earlier, waiting to see Fenglei get "slapped" in the face.

But now.

They just officially announced it, laying their cards on the table.

"I do have a supercar."

Fenglei is going against the heavens!

The news quickly reached the ears of other luxury car bosses, and each of them was shocked.

Their joint price reduction to sanction Fenglei had failed, and they had hoped to regain their ground in this Supercar Racing Competition.

Now.

They were actually being told that Fenglei had built a supercar.

And it was very likely to pass certification and gain entry qualifications.

Then wouldn't their previous remarks mocking Chinese brands become a joke??
