187: Fully open, many luxury cars are desperate
“Since the Top Ten Luxury Cars think so highly of our Fenglei, how can we possibly disappoint them?”
The person in charge of the Top Ten Luxury Cars never expected that the thor m14 was already on its way, and at no expense, it was even being transported by air.
Most companies opt for sea transport to save costs.
Unless a wealthy individual specifically requests air transport and pays for the shipping themselves, then there's no issue.
But who really cares about a few days?
The money of the wealthy doesn't just fall from the sky; millions in shipping costs should be saved if possible.
Coincidentally, Ren Yi was someone who didn't lack money.
He urgently needed to open up the overseas market and had to seize every second.
Otherwise, once the popularity of the thor m14 declined, the publicity effect would not be as ideal.
Just as the person in charge of the Top Ten Luxury Cars was still feeling smug, a piece of news quickly spread across major news websites in Europe.
“Fenglei's new supercar, the thor m14, is about to enter Europe, with the basic version priced at 4 million USD and the top-end version at 12 million USD. Deliveries will officially begin tomorrow, with no quantity limit.”
“Furthermore, Fenglei will launch an official overseas website and APP, through which all of Fenglei’s million-dollar car models can be ordered online.”
As soon as this news broke, it shocked the entire World.
Many consumers who couldn't afford the thor m14 were pleasantly surprised.
They had experienced the charm of the thor m14 up close and were deeply captivated by it.
Unfortunately, they lacked the financial means to purchase such a top-tier sports car.
However, Fenglei has many products, and their quality is not much inferior to the thor m14.
They have all the necessary functions; it's just that their exterior design isn't as cool and eye-catching as the thor m14.
If they couldn't afford a supercar, buying a Fenglei product was still a form of psychological comfort.
Many people were filled with anticipation.
A Fenglei whirlwind was rapidly picking up.
The Top Ten Luxury Cars, who were closely following Fenglei’s movements, almost spat out a mouthful of old blood upon receiving the news.
What is all this?
Not only will the thor m14 be delivered tomorrow, but Fenglei's other models are also about to enter the European market.
By then, the mid-range and high-end car markets might all be seized by Fenglei.
Because for similar types of vehicles, Fenglei offers the highest cost-performance ratio.
Previously, Fenglei was unknown, and consumers naturally looked down on it, believing that driving a Fenglei car lacked prestige.
But the situation is different now; Fenglei is the champion of this year's Supercar Racing Competition.
With the champion's halo, its brand effect is no longer inferior to that of the Top Ten Luxury Cars.
It even shows a trend of surpassing them.
This completely exceeded their expectations.
Yesterday, they had hired a large number of internet trolls to viciously slander Fenglei, claiming that the thor m14 could not be delivered at all.
Now, they were being slapped in the face.
How were they supposed to play this now?
“Quick, notify all global branches to sell all their sports cars at a discount. No matter what method, clear the inventory first.”
The person in charge of the Top Ten Luxury Cars was pacing anxiously.
Supercars are entirely hyped up through marketing, and their premium is ridiculously high.
If there were only a few units in the World, selling them for tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, would be no problem.
But the problem now is that the thor m14 crushed all luxury cars in the Supercar Racing Competition, and crucially, its price is cheaper than their supercars, and it's not limited edition.
This is a bit of a dirty trick; compared to the thor m14, the supercars of the Top Ten Luxury Cars have no advantage whatsoever.
Seeing this news, the happiest person was undoubtedly the Qatar Prince, Qatar.
Previously, Prince Qatar signed a 30 billion supercar contract with Fenglei, and each car only cost 5 million USD.
Now, the price of the thor m14 has actually doubled, which means he has made a huge profit from this.
The most crucial point is that his relatives and friends all know he ordered a thousand thor m14s, and they are all scrambling to curry favor with him daily.
They expressed that if he could get them a thor m14, they would fully support Qatar in the future election for King.
This made Prince Qatar extremely happy.
He had known for a long time that he was not the only prince in the Middle East.
He also had two older brothers who were strong contenders for the next King.
Prince Qatar never expected that the contract he signed on a whim would actually help him ascend to the throne.
Immediately, he tagged Fenglei’s overseas official Twitter account, stating that he wanted to order another thousand thor m14s, with the price calculated at 12 million USD.
As soon as this news broke, netizens from all over the World gasped in unison.
“Holy cow, he’s too damn rich!”
“Is this the power of the Middle East tycoon, ‘a piece of cloth on my head, I’m the richest in the World’?”
“Lei Zi, this is insane! Just from this one deal with the Middle East prince, you’ll never have to worry about food and drink again.”
“It won’t be long before a large number of thor m14s appear in the Middle East, tearing up the streets like crazy!”
“66666!!”
With Ren Yi’s actions and Prince Qatar’s push, the entire automotive industry experienced a major earthquake, unleashing a massive tsunami.
It almost forced the luxury car brands to resort to desperate measures.
But facing this situation, even if they were desperate, it was useless; they could only swallow their bitter pill.
In contrast, other car brands applauded.
For so many years, they had been continuously pressured by the Top Ten Luxury Car brands, surviving in the cracks, with some even struggling to make a living.
Seeing the Top Ten Luxury Cars stumble, they felt like they had watched a spectacular show.
They even felt a bit of schadenfreude.
After all, Fenglei only exports high-end models priced above one million, which do not concern them.
Traditional car manufacturers around the World, although their annual profits are not low, ultimately only sell well in the low-end models.
Very few have truly entered the 500,000-level market, let alone the million-level high-end models, which are even rarer.
Furthermore, they saw a new opportunity in Fenglei.
Internal combustion engine technology has been researched to its limit by the Top Ten Luxury Cars, making it almost impossible to surpass.
The new energy vehicle track might be an opportunity for them to overtake.
After all, Fenglei has already set an example for them.
Moreover, in recent years, people's pursuit of environmental protection has led to the rapid development of new energy vehicles.
Some new car brands have emerged, breaking through the encirclement of fuel cars and seizing a significant portion of the fuel car market.
However, ultimately, they haven't fully established themselves.
Because the performance of new energy vehicles is currently extremely unstable, giving consumers the impression of being cheap.
The key is that for the same model, the price is even more expensive than fuel cars.
Currently, the advantages of new energy vehicles are the Zhi Jia System, cheap charging, and low noise.
Additionally, household appliances like large TVs and refrigerators have been moved into cars, which is refreshing and makes people impulsively buy them.
Other than that, new energy vehicles really don't have any other advantages.
Once the market experiences a big fluctuation, and a wave hits, these emerging new energy vehicle models could collapse in a very short time.
Therefore, many car companies are gritting their teeth and persevering, even if they incur significant losses, they continue to invest in research and development, frequently updating their models.
At the same time, overwhelming advertisements are constantly bombarding consumers, brainwashing them to accept the concept of electric vehicles.
Now, for many emerging new energy car companies, if they can truly seize this opportunity, they might become the next car giant in the future.
