379: A range of two thousand, is this still Wuling?

It must be said.

Being able to achieve this level was also due to the convenience of several technologies from Fenglei.

Including Fenglei's inherent advantages in software and satellites, it was able to easily break the barrier that made intelligent driving difficult to configure for low-end vehicles.

"This functional achievement is very meaningful and will definitely become a major selling point for the new car launch."

Ren Yi said.

While doing so would increase the burden on Fenglei's servers, the improvement in the overall product strength of the vehicle is absolutely no less than the breakthrough of the new battery.

Don't just look at it as L2-level intelligent driving technology.

Some people might think that since it's not L3-level and doesn't have full autonomous driving capability, it's not worth buying.

But for ordinary consumers, being able to have the same features as cars on the market costing over one hundred thousand yuan for just tens of thousands of yuan is a huge bargain.

Another half month passed in a flash, and the time arrived for the press conference.

It was scheduled to start at 10 AM today, and the actual car could be seen in the afternoon.

At this moment.

On the press conference stage, everything was set up.

This press conference was pre-heated, so many media and industry professionals came, plus the buzz of the Fenglei co-branding, the scene was bustling with people.

You know.

Previously, when Wuling launched new cars, it was never this formal; some simply did an online live broadcast and then notified offline channels for promotion, and that was it.

These cars costing tens of thousands of yuan are sold through offline channels, and the promotion process has always been as simplified as possible.

After all, if you make a grand press conference for a cheap car, like a high-end brand, consumers might laugh at you.

Selling a car for tens of thousands of yuan, yet being so "extravagant."

Inside the lounge.

"General Manager Ren, how about you also come on stage and say a few words during the press conference later? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll get nervous and say something wrong."

Lu Jun said, looking a little nervous.

He is a General Manager of such a large company, yet he still gets nervous when promoting a press conference for a car worth only tens of thousands of yuan.

Ren Yi was torn between laughter and tears: "General Manager Lu, what are you talking about? This is your Wuling's new car press conference, it's your home ground. I, as a special guest, can just sit below and watch. At most, I'll interact with you a few times; I can't really go on stage to speak."

Undeniably.

If Ren Yi were to go on stage and lead this conference, the scene would definitely explode.

Besides.

As co-branding partners, using Fenglei's technology, if Ren Yi goes on stage for every new car launch, then it would be unreasonable if he didn't go on stage for other manufacturers' technical collaborations in the future.

So he simply refused completely.

Moreover, his own work is not yet finished, and Ren Yi already feels tired enough. In the future, for Fenglei's new car press conferences, he plans to let Zhang Kangyang take over.

For some less important technical updates, he will let him be responsible for the explanation, and for more grand and crucial press conferences, he will personally go on stage to explain.

"Alright, I'll try..."

Lu Jun nodded helplessly, having already prepared the speech for this new car launch conference.

And he had rehearsed it twice, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.

"Hello, media friends, car owners, and viewers in the live stream who are watching this press conference. Welcome to the site of our Wuling new car press conference."

As the spotlights lit up.

Lu Jun walked from backstage to the front of the stage, and the long-waiting media below quickly pressed their shutters, clicking away.

Ren Yi also sat in the VIP section below, smiling.

Seeing this scene, General Manager Lu felt much more at ease, and began his long-rehearsed opening remarks.

"I believe everyone has always thought that our Wuling is just a minivan company, only knowing how to build some low-end 'old man's fun' vehicles. Thanks to the kind support of all friends, in earlier years, it even earned the title of 'Domestic Divine Car'…"

"But I know this is teasing us, not praising us."

"Whether it's vehicle configuration or driving experience, our cars are only entry-level, the only good thing is that the price-performance ratio is relatively high."

As he said this.

Many people in the audience became unsettled.

The live stream's bullet comments surged instantly.

"Holy moly, this old guy's opening speech is quite good, he must have practiced for a long time?!"

"Speaking of Wuling, I remember those years when I drove a minivan to set up a stall, which helped me earn my first pot of gold during a low point in my life."

"Wuling cars are tough, not afraid of bumps and scrapes at all, and you don't feel bad about it."

"Although Wuling is ubiquitous across the country, there are still many prejudices on the market, such as being crudely made, lacking technology, lacking safety, and not being smart…"

"Although 'Domestic Divine Car' is a jest, I still hope Wuling can live up to its name."

...

Lu Jun naturally did not know the comments from the netizens in the live stream.

At this moment, he continued:

"In this era of booming electric vehicles, our domestic new energy vehicles can be said to be leading the world trend, and our Wuling is naturally not content to lag behind…"

"Next, please welcome our two new models, developed in deep collaboration with Fenglei: the male model, wuling big gg, and the female model, wind rhombus little mm."

Lu Jun raised a hand, and two exquisitely designed new cars, with beautifully gleaming paint, slowly drove out from backstage.

Without any unnecessary talk.

There was no need to show any exterior promotional images; the actual cars were driven directly onto the stage, allowing the audience to see them clearly.

At the same time.

The live broadcast camera also quickly cut to the guest seating, giving a close-up of Ren Yi sitting there.

Upon realizing the camera was on him, Ren Yi immediately smiled and nodded, indicating a response.

This action immediately caused the bullet comments and popularity in the live stream to skyrocket.

"Look, Fenglei's General Managers is indeed down there!!"

"Oh my goodness, I didn't expect General Manager Ren to personally attend this press conference; it seems he attaches great importance to Wuling's new car launch!!"

"Don't say it, these two cars look pretty good from the outside, much more advanced than Wuling's previous models."

"Indeed, the lines of this car jointly built by Wuling and Fenglei are full of artistic beauty. The only slight drawback is that it has Wuling's badge; if it were replaced with Fenglei's, the prestige would definitely be maximized!!"

"Hehe, you really dare to think. Even if Wuling were willing, Fenglei might not agree. Wouldn't putting Fenglei's emblem on it lower its value?!"

...

A group of onlookers commented on the vehicle's appearance.

With Fenglei's design incorporated, these two cars were clearly much more advanced than Wuling's previous models.

The overall body lines were personally drawn and supervised by Ren Yi, so the aesthetics are definitely up to standard, with no major flaws.

As soon as the appearance was revealed, seeing the good reaction from the audience below.

Lu Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then continued:

"As we all know, the pain point of our Wuling pure electric vehicles has always been the range issue. Limited by cost and vehicle volume, the actual range is usually only about one to two hundred kilometers. Here, I'd like to ask everyone to guess, what do you think our new car's range should be??"

As his voice fell.

Many people immediately spoke up.

Some said one hundred, some said two hundred, some said two hundred fifty, and some mischievous ones even said sixty.

Lu Jun was torn between laughter and tears.

"It seems people are not optimistic about our new car's range. This is understandable, after all, we have never been good at batteries."

Although there are now batteries with longer ranges, Wuling's positioning is low-end models, so it's impossible to use too good batteries. A range of two hundred fifty is already giving it face.

If it's winter, the range can even be halved.

If good batteries were used, then the price would have to be raised, and consumers might as well choose other brands.

No choice, Wuling's brand value positioning is tens of thousands of yuan; any more and consumers would curse it to death.

Lu Jun smiled confidently:

"Today, our Wuling is here to solve this problem. Our first co-branded model with Fenglei is equipped with industry-leading technology, a new type of battery produced by Fenglei, achieving an astonishing range of two thousand kilometers without increasing costs."

As Lu Jun's voice fell, the entire venue was shaken.

The self-media car reviewers in the audience and the onlookers in the live stream were all stunned.

How much?

A range of 2000 kilometers??

Is this still Wuling?!!
