Chapter 299: Auto Show and Situation
In March's spring, a drizzling rain persisted.
With not much else to do, Chen Pingsheng took the spoiled brat to a car show to look at cars.
The Magic City Car Show, which featured the latest top-tier models from all the major brands.
He had spent 12 billion to build his own new energy super factory, which was expected to be completed in August this year.
Taking just one year to build, Huaxia's construction speed was the world's fastest, and it was well-earned fame, not just empty words.
Once the super factory was completed, it would take another three to six months to recruit and train staff, and to adjust various projects.
Tengfei New Energy would then officially enter the mass production phase.
Of course, during this period, Tengfei New Energy also needed to integrate various technologies such as motors, electronic controls, batteries, and smart driving.
The actual production timeline was expected to commence in spring 2018.
It would take two years for his Tengfei New Energy Automobile to start mass production.
From the concept on PPT to actual production.
The team was still discussing whether the first car should be an SUV family vehicle or a coupe design that is popular with younger groups.
In any case, the design and positioning of the first car was critical.
Since he hadn't made a decision yet, he simply came to the car show for inspiration.
As for the 2017 car show, the models were definitely gorgeous.
Somehow, following someone's complaint, the clothes of those model ladies began to cover more and more.
Not professional at all.
In the past, they barely covered themselves with two pieces of cloth; those long legs, ABCDE whoever had bigger breasts had the right to speak.
Unfortunately, those days were over.
The Magic City Car Show was held several times a year, and it was always extremely crowded.
The spoiled brat had a two-day holiday and had to go out with his Dad.
"Dad, we already have so many cars at home, why are you still buying cars?"
"We are going to make our own cars, of course, I'm here to take a look!"
It was quite crowded, and the first car Chen Pingsheng looked at was a Rover.
This year Rover released a new model called Range Rover Velar, a mid-sized SUV priced between 400,000 and 600,000.
Not to say, in the million-class luxury cars, the Range Rover Long Wheelbase version had an unrivaled presence.
Even the G-Class and Cayenne couldn't compare with the presence of a Range Rover. Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
The model this time was a female college student, and despite the regulations stating that models couldn't wear bikinis, the car dealers still found ways to let them show off their sexiness as much as possible.
To attract higher popularity.
This lady probably was the school belle as well, her bodycon skirt extremely short, exposing everything that should be exposed.
The Velar's presence couldn't compare with the big Range Rover at all.
Chen Pingsheng ended up buying two of this year's new Range Rover long wheelbase models directly from the model.
All kinds of prices were available.
"Just deliver them to this address."
For cars with a landed cost of more than two million, he hardly ever drove them anymore.
All of them went to Tengfei New Energy for disassembly studies.
Of course, he didn't need to do installments when buying cars; as he was finishing up, Chen An'an commented behind him, "Dad, does mom know about this spending?"
"I don't know about your mom's spending either!"
Chen An'an just instinctively said that, feeling quite stifled as she hadn't gotten any extra pocket money this Chinese New Year.
Now that she was out with her Dad, she had to figure out a way to buy a couple of things she liked herself.
Apart from Rover releasing all sorts of new models, Lexus also unveiled the more attractive LS500.
The new generation LS featured Lexus's signature spindle grill in its front air intake, and its design incorporated the exaggerated elements of the LF-FC concept car, making it look quite flamboyant.
It came standard with 19-inch tires, with 20-inch ones as an option; additionally, the new car used hollow wheel rims to reduce tire noise.
This level of design maturity was common among century-old car companies; just considering aesthetics, the million dollar Lexus LS500 had few rivals.
Probably the only car more attractive than it was the Panamera.
That was a classic model, beloved by all who viewed it.
Chen Pingsheng predicted that in the future, there would definitely be new energy manufacturers following Zotye's example.
Custom-building their own branded Panamera, and producing a one-to-one imitation.
After all, this car's aesthetic appeal was really strong.
He once again bought two Lexus vehicles right then and there.
Next door was Aston Martin, a dream for countless young men.
When you're young, drive an Aston Martin to avoid love troubles.
This year, Aston Martin's DB11 even launched a new V12 model.
This British sports car primarily presented elegance coupled with a gentlemanly stature.
Seriously, the aesthetic value of this car was truly high; he had owned it for a long time.
If Tengfei New Energy wanted to produce sports cars, they could completely reference its design.
The on-the-road cost was only 3.5 million, and he ordered two on the spot.
One for himself and one for Tengfei's design department for research.
His car buying was completely impulsive now, starting from two vehicles onwards, an attitude of extravagance that left nearby young girls gaping in awe.
Even Chen An'an remarked on the side, "Dad, you've successfully caught their attention again!"
"If they notice, let them notice," Chen Pingsheng said, "I've spent so much money on car manufacturing, I'll definitely attend the car shows whenever I have the chance in the future."
Fine then… Chen An'an picked something she liked as well.
It was quite hard for her to choose something she truly liked from the plethora of cars at home.
Ferrari had also released a new GT sports car, the Portofino.
Compared to previous models, this car looked a bit like the Aston Martin she had just seen.
The chassis was much higher, so there was no need to worry about having to stop and slowly edge past any pits on the road.
Chen Pingsheng bought two in different colors.
One for his wife, one for disassembly.
Now, the nearby girls were completely shocked.
They had never seen anyone buy cars like this, just like picking carrots and cabbages.
