Chapter 983
Meanwhile, far away at the headquarters of the RB Toyota Group, Masao Toyoda, who had just stepped into his office, received, over the phone, a piece of news that shocked his heart.
"The Ferrari N1 of future technology is actually a hydrogen sports car that runs for half a million kilometres without refuelling? My friend, you're talking out of your ass, don't tease me, it's office hours, if you tell me you're not joking, I'll have you fired."
Masao Toyoda snorted in disdain and shook his head, thinking the other man was bluffing.
"Sir, even if you were to fire me, I still say that what I said is true. Not only is it hydrogen energy, but Future Tech's new car, that Ferrari N1, also incorporates powerful transparent aluminium materials, weight reduction devices that guarantee that no rollover is life-threatening, and on top of that, their car network features advanced 3D projection and artificial intelligence red......"
"Send me back the scene, via video, immediately." When Masao Toyoda heard this, his face suddenly changed and became extremely grave.
The person on the other side of the phone dared to joke with him once, but definitely did not dare to do it a second time, Masao Toyoda was sure.
"It's been sent to your inbox, sir, and apart from the Ferrari N1, there's also extremely bad news for us."
"What news?"
"In addition to launching a high-end sports car like the Ferrari N1, Future Technology also has two other powerful cars in the mid-to-high-end segment, called the HFE1 and HFH1, with specific prices, the former starting at $100,000 and the latter at $20,000 ......"
Masao Toyoda was silent for a moment, then showed his teeth and broke into a cursing fit.
"This Li Linfei, how dare he ...... have a car at the low to medium end as well? Bastard, he's trying to wrap up all the car market and force us into a corner, this son of a bitch ......"
At this moment, Toyota Masao's heart is fucked plus regret, this damn, originally he was waiting for this morning to see the joke of the future technology, but now a look.
The previous efforts, that and so on a series of publicity, all do the future technology of the graft, this you sister, was set up ah.
He reckoned that when Li Linfei saw the exaggerated news on the Internet, he should be laughing uproariously, right?
When he thought that the original plan to trap Future Technology and make Li Linfei suffer had become a good thing to help promote others, Masao Toyoda felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
He seemed to be able to imagine how many people would sneer at him later on at the board meeting.
"Future Technology ...... Li Linfei, how can you be so insidious, damn it ......," the palms of his hands clenched into fists, Toyota Masanao's muttered curses.
Besides, on this side of the exhibition centre, after Li Linfei and Li Xiaomin left the Lamborghini exhibition area.
"Lin Fei, you were so dominant just now, a seven million dollar car, saying you scratched it, I thought you were joking at first."
Li Linfei wandered around the centre of the car show with Li Xiaomin on his hip, both hands behind his back, chattering about what had just happened.
The original aggravation she had suffered because of Kathleen's place had long since been thrown out of her mind.
To say the least, she was the one who had caused the trouble this time and made Li Linfei break the bank, and she was quite upset about it, but looking at the way he didn't even care, she didn't even give Li Xiaomin the chance to apologise for it.
"Sis, remember, when you encounter this kind of situation again, dislike him directly, give him a smash, if someone dares to bully you, you bully him back even more, got it?" Li Linfei paused in his steps and earnestly admonished Li Xiaomin.
He was not very good at educating people, but he knew that if his friends and loved ones around him were aggrieved or bullied outside, they had to return the favour.
Although this was a bit of a rogue look, and perhaps not suitable for the current social outlook, Li Linfei was just that protective.
Li Xiaomin is such a beautiful girl, and is his own sister, too bullying is also their own bullying, others will be aside to lean away.
"If you say that, if mum knew about it, she would have to tell you off." Li Xiaomin said.
"Who told you to tell her, just don't give her the information?" Li Linfei gave a smile.
Besides, even if Hu Wen knew that he said this about Li Xiaomin, she wouldn't say anything.
......
After leaving the car show, they went to the hotel to rest for the night, then Li Xiaomin and Nini Wang returned home the next afternoon, while Li Linfei went to Paris.
First, he went to the French headquarters of Lay Future Technology and met with Hades, and then he ran directly towards the newly established French branch of Sino-French Automotive.
Luci had recently been on the Paris side of Sino-French, and because of the commonality of the network, he was able to deal with domestic matters across the country even when he was abroad.
It must be said that Lu Qi is getting better and better at his job, thunderous and organised, and in the future he will certainly be a pillar of Future Technology.
If necessary, Li Linfei will consider giving him a portion of the dividend shares in Sino-French Automotive to keep him grounded.
Of course, it is still too early to say this, it all depends on Lu Qi's performance, if he does not satisfy Li Linfei, then it is not necessary to talk about it.
Paris, France, Sino-French Motor Company.
Lu Qi, who had just finished his meeting and ordered his work, came to see Li Linfei in a hurry.
"Mr. Li, why didn't you inform me before you arrived in Paris, it left me unprepared." As soon as Lu Qi saw Li Linfei, he immediately said with a sarcastic smile.
"You have been working for me for more than a day or two, so you don't need to do all those false things." Li Linfei waved his hand and smiled.
"Have some tea." At this time, Lu Qi's assistant made two cups of tea, and Lu Qi hurriedly handed one cup to Li Linfei.
Li Linfei took the cup of tea and took a sip, feeling that the taste was not bad.
"Three days have passed since the Geneva Motor Show, today is the fourth day, is there any new progress on your side." Li Linfei opened his mouth to ask.
Future Technology's car show in Geneva, that was in full swing, because of the appearance of Ferrari N1, HFE1 and H1, the organizer of the Geneva Motor Show also announced a number.
Chapter 984
That is, the first three days of the show saw almost 20% more people than in March this year.
Some media interviews and surveys have been done, and many visitors from Asia and America have said that they did not come to Switzerland for the show itself, because the Geneva Motor Show, for all its fame, is not big enough to make them come from thousands of miles away when they don't really have time to do so.
It is still all about the fascination of the new cars with future technology, mainly the Ferrari N1.
After seeing the Ferrari N1 in the news, many car lovers were itching to come and see it, and their whole bodies were not comfortable until they came to see it.
The response from visitors to the show was proof of the success of Future Technology at the Geneva Motor Show.
Of course, a successful motor show doesn't mean everything, and the concrete stuff still depends on the sales and orders afterwards.
From 2pm on the 1st of November, Sino-French Automotive and Ferrari, had started the pre-sale of the Ferrari N1 as well as the HFE1 and H1.
"Mr. Li, I was just about to report to headquarters about what you said. Here are the latest orders from the direction of Geneva, with the number of vehicles booked on the internet, look." Lu Qi took a list from his assistant and hurriedly handed it to Li Linfei.
Putting down his cup of tea, he took the list and sorted it out, then scanned his eyes and browsed through it. A minute later, having finished reading it, a satisfied smile appeared on Li Linfei's face.
The data on the list showed that from the start of the motor show until now, a total of 370 tycoons and tycoons from all over the world had indicated that they wanted to buy the Ferrari N1 and had already paid for it.
The Ferrari N1 is a supercar, priced at US$5 million a piece, 370 units, that's at US$1.85 billion, and after deducting costs, taxes and other miscellaneous expenses, it will come to a profit of at least US$1.2 billion.
Other than that, this $1.2 billion car profit alone, although not comparable with Toyota, Volkswagen, etc., but this has surpassed the absolute majority of international car companies, a year's profit.
And in future technology, here at Sino-French Motors, it is still only three days of sales, what about a year later, three or five years later?
Of course, you can't count by the number of days, after all, the market for sports cars is limited, and the market saturation of the Ferrari N1 has been extrapolated by RED in accordance with its ability to dominate the market for all the world's top sports cars.
The conclusion reached was that the Ferrari N1 would sell no more than 20,000 units a year.
Still, to sell 20,000 units is not a small amount - that's $100 billion.
In addition to the sales figures for the Ferrari N1, the number of orders for the HFE1 is 743.
In the case of the HFH1, although the price was on the low side, strangely enough, the number of orders was also oddly low, a tight 66 units, something that was more unexpected from Li Linfei.
"The Ferrari N1 order sales are not bad, the HFE1 is also okay, both within the normal range, but this groundbreaking H1 is actually so few, what's going on, any investigation?" Li Linfei looked at Lu Qi.
"Mr. Li, don't worry about this, things are like this."
Lu Qi hurriedly smiled back: "Huafa H1 is a hybrid sedan, the starting price is only $20,000 a piece, equivalent to RMB just over 130,000, because it is relatively cheap, so it is geared towards the general public consumers, and this part of the people you know well, Mr. Li, tend to purchase cars are relatively small intention, instead of to those rich people dry."
"Since the beginning of the auto show, Huafa H1's various performance is exposed, the crowd of people who understand Huafa H1 is the most, so much that you may not imagine."
"Oh? Unimaginable, that's an interesting use of your word, just how many are there?" Li Linfei gave a smile.
"According to the feedback from the customer department, the first day was at 30,000 people, the second day doubled, and the third day came straight to 400,000 people." Luci himself said, sucking in a secret breath himself.
"So many!" Li Linfei raised his eyebrows, also slightly nonplussed for a moment.
"Yes, the rate is simply increasing geometrically, and that's just the number of people, not the number of visits, and on our official website of the Paddle Time Company, the number of visits has already exceeded 20 million in the past three days."
"At this rate, by the end of the Geneva Motor Show, at least 10 million people will know about HFH1, it's horrible!"
In the past few days, the customer service phone number of Huafa Auto has been bursting at the seams, and if Lucci's temporary future technology hadn't applied for technical support, I'm afraid there would be 200,000 to 300,000 customers unable to call in.
"It's indeed a bit scary." Li Linfei's gaze flashed.
"But compared to the global car market, ten million isn't much."
"Mr. Li, it's not much, even if only thirty percent of the ten million people buy the HFH1, that's sixty billion dollars in sales." Luci laughed bitterly without falling.
"The car market is nearing saturation now, and although our cars are excellent, it's not easy to quickly replace other types of cars in the world." Li Linfei shook his head.
But Lu Qi said, "Mr. Li, we can't be presumptuous, the three gradations of the Huafa series of cars, no matter the performance and safety, are all number one in the world, to take over the global car market, I don't think it will take a few years, at most eight years, no, five years is enough!"
Speaking of this, Luci's gaze flashed violently, the cars operated by Warfa Motors, according to the current situation, were either sports cars, or SUVs and sedans.
And nothing else, as long as once the global market is replaced with sedans, that's hundreds of millions of sales.
Even if it's just 100 million units, and only at the HFH1 sales price, that's a whole ...... two trillion dollars!
For other car companies, selling 100 million cars would be a thousand times more difficult, but for Future Technology, for the Huafa Auto car company, it is not as difficult as one might think.
Although this figure has flashed through his mind countless times, whenever he thinks of a trillion dollar auto giant company that is about to be born in his hands, Luci can't help but suck in a cold breath and his heart pounds.
