Once the news was released, it attracted a lot of attention.
For a professional forum like Car Home, under the Nian section, discussing the selling price of the Nian was already a daily occurrence.
"It's estimated to be around 18 million. Many big shots on the forum have come out to analyze it. Even if there are no taxes, the price of these configuration won't be low.”
"We still have to consider the issue of mass production. After all, this is a supercar. It's not an exaggeration to make it purely by hand. It's impossible to reduce the cost by relying on production.”
"Forget it. What's the point of discussing it now? We'll know at nine tomorrow.”
The press conference was scheduled for March 1st at 9 AM.
In the huge exhibition hall of the Shanghai Exhibition Center, a Nian was placed. Countless spectators and reporters stopped to take photos of this car.
Many people also noticed that the car's tires were almost scrapped.
There was also a sign beside it, stating that this was the car that had set a world record of 500 kilometers per hour in Eraalesin.
"What brand are the tires of this car? They're too durable. They've only run a few kilometers in a minute, and they're almost scrapped.”
"Big brother, don't talk about the tires. Believe it or not, whether this car can be driven or not is still a problem. At 500 kilometers per hour, at this speed, it's already good enough that the engine isn't scrapped.”
" There's also the cooling system. I saw on the Internet that the Bugatti Chiron needs to circulate 800L of cooling liquid in a minute at its maximum speed. 800L. I don't know if it's true.”
The car in front of him would be sent to the Wuling headquarters after the press conference for permanent collection.
The press conference officially began at nine o'clock.
Chen Fang did not attend the press conference this time.
He was busy.
Compared to holding a press conference overseas, Zhang Puhe was much more relaxed when he held a press conference in China.
Two beautiful models and a brand new Nian appeared on the stage, causing huge cheers.
There was no need to introduce the specifications.
It was all over the internet.
This time, Zhang Puhe mainly introduced some of the prices.
This was basically the standard configuration of a supercar.
As the entire car was made of carbon fiber, it was impossible to change the color. However, the wheels could be changed. Four wheels could be changed for 60,000 yuan.
Change the interior color, 260,000.
80,000 yuan could be used to surround your car with carbon fiber.
120,000 yuan to change the hood to a transparent one.
This price could be said to be on par with top-notch supercars. The audience below the stage was speechless. A set of this thing could cost millions.
"Finally, the price."
Zhang Puhe took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and announced the price.
15.88 million!
Zhang Puhe wasn't sure if the domestic supercar could be sold at this price.
If the local tycoons didn't recognize this brand, it would be a joke if they couldn't sell it.
Many people gasped at the price.
"I was thinking that I could settle it with one or two million yuan. It seems that I was thinking too much.”
"Being poor is my original sin. I feel that I have already committed a grave sin.”
"16 million. Isn't it nice to buy a Bugatti? Why would I buy a Wuling?”
"Take note, this isn't a Wuling, it's a Nian beast. Moreover, you won't be able to buy a Bugatti for 16 million.”
"Alright, you guys are talking so passionately here. This car has nothing to do with you guys. Anyway, it's all bought by rich people. If it really costs a few million, they might not even be bothered to buy it.”
An ugly wife had to meet her parents-in-law. After announcing the price, Zhang Puhe could not care less.
In fact, when he created Nian and broke the world record, Zhang Puhe felt that he had already fulfilled his dream.
Of course, it would be best if this car could sold well. If it couldn't, he didn't care.
He did not lack money, and Chen Fang did not lack money either.
Just take it that the two of them had nothing to do and spent some money to play.
Following that, Zhang Puhe announced the official launch of Nian's official website, and at the same time, he opened a private custom-made channel on the official website.
Chen Fang didn't go to the press conference because he really didn't have time.
Another guest came to Starfish Island.
It was still Mazhou.
"Director Ma, I think I should blacklist you. You come to me every day. I have to treat you to a big meal every time you come.”
Ma Zhou had an awkward expression, not knowing how to smooth things over.
Chen Fang waved his hand. He was just joking. Mazhou looked like a soldier and would not play games. In fact, Chen Fang preferred to deal with such people.
"Tell me, why are you looking for me again?”
Ma Zhou took out a screw from his pocket and handed it over.
"Boss Chen, you should be familiar with this metal, right?”
Chen Fang did not take it. He recognized it at a glance. It was a special metal produced by the system and named A.
One ton was 0.001 tax point.
Chen Fang did not know what kind of metal it was.
However, it was definitely made of a special material.
Chen Fang had thought of making an issue out of this thing before, but he forgot about it when he got busy.
Is there something wrong with this metal?"
"It's like this, Boss Chen. Didn't we change the engine that you helped us with when we produced the QTL tank? It runs very fast, but the problem is that it runs too fast.”
Chen Fang looked sideways. Wasn't it good to run fast? He had also seen the video of the weapons exhibition. Even a tank could drift. What else did he want?
"We later found out that under extreme speed, if we pass through a huge obstacle, the tank's twist bar will break.”
" After careful study, we found that the design standard of the torsion-bar should be unable to meet the huge load brought about by the great increase in speed under extreme conditions.”
Chen Fang really wanted to say," Speed 80? I didn't ask you to really drive at 80. You can totally drive slower."
However, she didn't say anything and continued listening.
"Of course, we can't limit the speed. Speed has become an important selling point of the QT tank. The problem now is that we can't redevelop the torsion-bar.”
"The cost of developing a new torsion-bar is very high. "It's also a waste for us because the torsion-bar technology is almost obsolete. There's no value or need to continue developing it.”
"So we thought of the metal you used. In fact, from the beginning, we found that this metal has strong hardness and toughness, and its properties are also stable. It can completely replace the existing twist bar and meet the load requirements.”
Chen Fang interrupted Ma Zhou.
"To put it simply, you want me to help you manufacture this kind of twist bar, right?”
"This is an engine and a twist bar. I might as well help you manufacture a tank.”
Chen Fang could not help but complain.
Ma Zhou looked embarrassed. He really wanted to say that if it weren't for the fact that the QT tank had a lot of secret technology, it wouldn't be impossible for him to find Chen Fang to manufacture it.
"Not only do we want to manufacture the torsion-bar, Boss Chen, we actually want to obtain the production process of this metal.”
The elemental composition of the metal could be obtained through elemental analysis.
However, this was just like cooking. If you analyzed the ingredients, would you be able to make the same dish? Of course not. The order of placing the ingredients, the specific heat, and the chef's skills were the key.
The materials were the same. The key was the production process.
Chen Fang shook his head.
What were they thinking? They wanted the solid-state solute, they wanted the virtual reality technology, and now they were eyeing this little metal. They were like bandits.
"Boss Chen, don't be in a hurry to refuse. We're willing to pay a high price to compensate you for the research and development costs.”
Chen Fang pursed his lips.
The research and development cost of materials could range from zero to infinite.
It was possible that he had stumbled across a special material by chance.
It was also possible that they had invested tens of billions of dollars, but in the end, nothing was developed.
Chen Fang could not bear to ask for less.
If it was too much, the country would not be willing to pay.
It was troublesome.
"Don't talk about compensation. I'll just help you manufacture it. Torsion bars, right? How much are you prepared to pay for one?”
Chen Fang didn't care how much money he had to pay for this little twist bar. He treated it as a contribution to the country.
Ma Zhou had a regretful look on his face, but he still wanted to fight for it.
"Boss Chen, we're willing to pay one billion. Do you think that's not enough?”
One billion!
Chen Fang's eyelids twitched.
After talking about a cooperation of tens of billions, Chen Fang almost lost the concept of money.
However, the price of one billion was already very, very high.
Chen Fang felt that if Beilin Industry spent one billion, they might be able to produce a metal with similar properties.
A one-time compensation of one billion yuan was equivalent to saving time for research and development in Beilin Industries, as well as buying insurance.
However, Chen Fang only thought about it.
The A-grade metal was directly purchased by the system. Chen Fang himself did not know how it was produced.
"Don't bother. 50,000 for one, 12 for one tank, 600,000. It shouldn't be expensive for you to export a tank for a few million dollars.”
Ma Zhou sighed. He didn't expect that one billion yuan wouldn't be able to move Chen Fang.
"Isn't 50,000 a little too expensive? Is 30,000 for one?”
Chen Fang was speechless. You guys can't produce much of something worth tens of thousands of dollars, yet you're still bargaining with me.
"Just 50,000 yuan, not a single cent less. If it weren't for you, Director Ma, I wouldn't even want to take this job. It's not enough for my factory.”
"Alright then."
Ma Zhou could only nod in agreement.
After sending Ma Zhou away, Chen Fang also had some thoughts.
The system's A-grade metal had even attracted the attention of the country, which showed its value.
At this critical moment, Chen Fang could not think of a way to sell this metal in large quantities.
