Chapter 366 The Shocked Guests
"Mr. Hao, your office building is really grand and comfortable."
Wang Chuanfu sat in the chairman's office on the 37th floor, looking out at the sea in the distance, feeling full of energy and ambition.
“A poem suddenly came to my mind.
Climbing high and looking far into the distance, you can see peaks and ridges in all directions;
I left Baidi in the morning amidst the colorful clouds, and returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in one day." Zhou Ze, the head of Pengcheng Persimmon Farm, suddenly thought, "But I feel that the poetry there is really not as good as here.
The scenery before my eyes is magnificent. If you don’t come to Future Technology Group, you won’t know how beautiful it is.”
Today, Future Technology Group released a new car, and the city government also hopes it will be a big hit.
If successful, China will have a mid-to-high-end automobile brand with independent intellectual property rights.
"Being too comfortable is not a good thing. We must learn to be prepared for danger in times of peace." Hao Qiang said with a smile. He felt a little proud when he heard the praise from several business tycoons.
"By the way, Mr. Hao, what is the future price of ES6?" Wang Chuanfu asked curiously. It was not presumptuous to ask now.
BYD's newly launched pure electric vehicle has poor sales and has suffered heavy losses.
In fact, it is limited by vision.
Not only is the car ugly, but it's also so expensive, so it's understandable that it's not selling well.
"Mr. Wang, it's better to keep it a little mysterious. The press conference will be open to the public later." Hao Qiang grinned and said, "I think it's almost time. Let's go."
Wang Chuanfu looked at Hao Qiang's confident smile and was still a little confused.
Are you really planning to sell it for 500,000 or 600,000 yuan?
The appearance of the future ES6 has been revealed, but he has not seen the actual car.
Pictures are not as intuitive and impactful as seeing the real car.
The day before yesterday, Wang Chuanfu attended the launch of the new 5 Series of the joint venture Baoma Automobile.
The low-end 520li has a suggested retail price of RMB 41.26;
There are three mid-range 523li models with guide prices of RMB 43.36, RMB 46.86 and RMB 50.36 respectively;
There are two mid-to-high-end 525li models, with guide prices of 55.56 yuan and 62.86 yuan respectively;
There are two high-end 525li models, with suggested retail prices of 55.96 yuan and 62.96 yuan respectively.
The landing price of the lowest configuration is at least 46 yuan, plus the usual price increase of Baoma, it is estimated to be 48 yuan.
As for the high-end version, it will cost 70 yuan.
However, in the future, ES6 will not only target the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E and Audi A6, but also the BMW and Mercedes-Benz SUV series.
For example, Baoma X3.
Yesterday was also the global launch of the Baoma F25 (called Baoma X3 in China).
In fact, it was launched in 2010.
The latest generation is called Baoma E83, which was launched in 2003. Not many people know about it, and not many of them have entered the domestic market.
The starting price of the Baoma X3 in the United States is approximately between US$40,000 and US$45,000.
However, due to factors such as import tariffs and consumption tax, the suggested retail price of the Baoma X3 entering the domestic market is approximately between RMB 60 and RMB 80.
The domestic suggested retail prices of imported Mercedes-Benz GLC and Audi Q5 are the same as that of Baoma X3.
In Wang Chuanfu's opinion, the future ES6 will look better than the imported Baoma X3 and Mercedes-Benz C.
If the configuration is better than that of imported brands such as Baoma X3 and the price is much lower, it may really sell well.
He is optimistic about new energy vehicles, which is different from his peers.
It’s not that BYD doesn’t want to make good-looking new cars, but adding new production lines requires new investment.
Therefore, the reason why BYD’s pure electric vehicles are not good-looking is mainly due to the backwardness of its original production line.
They originally sell low-end cars, so if they set up such a good production line, the losses would be even greater.
Of course, the backwardness of our own technology also has a lot to do with it, and there are many factors.
Hao Qiang and several distinguished guests talked as they walked, and after a few minutes they arrived at the large multi-functional indoor training room.
When the guests who were still staying outside saw Hao Qiang coming, they hurried inside to find a place to sit.
Hao Qiang was the first to shake hands with the guests and welcome them.
At three o'clock,
The staff drew the curtains and the room became dark.
Then, the big screen and ambient lights on the stage all lit up.
The atmosphere on site is just like that of a movie theater.
As Hao Qiang walked towards the stage, the thousands of audience members immediately quieted down.
"Dear guests, friends from the media, good afternoon!
Welcome to the launch of the new energy vehicle ES6 by Future Technology Group.
Today, I am extremely excited to introduce to you the ES6, the new all-electric SUV from the Future Auto brand."
When Hao Qiang finished speaking, pictures of four cars immediately appeared on the screen.
At the same time, the on-site staff removed the four ES6s covered with car covers from the stage.
Four different colors.
Cloud white, sky blue, star gray, black.
This is the color of mass-produced models. In fact, there are not many black new energy vehicles.
The audience carefully observed the exterior of the vehicle and marveled at its smooth lines and avant-garde design.
I've seen the pictures, but it's still as shocking as seeing it in person.
Of course, the cars on display have been waxed, their tires are shiny, and with the ambient lighting, the feeling is different.
If it is placed on the street, the effect will definitely be much worse.
Media photographers on the scene were taking photos frantically, and the true appearance of the future ES6 has been revealed.
Hao Qiang paused for a moment and then continued, "I have good news for you all: ES6 has already achieved mass production."
"This model embodies our company's core technological accumulation and innovative achievements, including the world's most advanced ternary lithium battery, intelligent vehicle system Future 1.0, driving assistance system sensors, automotive motors, and controller systems, all of which were independently developed.
At the same time, automobile vibration reduction technologies such as suspension systems, body structure design, power system vibration isolation, NVH control, steering systems, and active vibration control technology are all independently developed by Future Technology Group.
It can be said that the domestic production rate of ES6 will reach more than 90% in the future.
Of course, auto chips, tires and other spare parts still rely on imports.”
The guests at the scene listened to Hao Qiang's story with some disbelief.
Is the technology he mentioned really the most advanced in the world?
then,
Hao Qiang knew that some people would not believe it, so he began to introduce the ternary lithium battery: "Our group's ternary lithium battery has been in mass production since 2006. The battery energy density of the battery pack has reached 200wh/kg, far exceeding that of international peers, at least 40wh/kg.
In the past three years, Future Technology Group's ternary lithium batteries have been equipped in about five million electric motorcycles, and there has not been a single battery fire or explosion incident.
To ensure the safety and reliability of new energy vehicles, we have adopted more advanced safety measures and have carried out countless tests such as needle penetration, collision, seawater immersion, extrusion, short circuit, over-discharge, and over-charge.
Improve safety performance to an extremely high level.
It has been audited by relevant national departments and its safety performance far exceeds international standards.
It is worth mentioning that under normal circumstances, there has been no battery spontaneous combustion accident.
If it’s a serious collision, even fuel-powered vehicles can’t guarantee it, and the ES6 in the future will also be difficult to guarantee.”
"To our media friends at the scene, I hope you can report objectively and not misinterpret my meaning. Thank you."
At the same time, pictures and technical parameters of the ternary lithium battery are displayed on the big screen in great detail.
The guests on the scene who had some doubts just now were convinced that the technical parameters of the ternary lithium battery described by Hao Qiang were indeed very impressive.
There is a huge gap between our international counterparts and Future Technology Group. What Hao Qiang said about Future Technology Group being the most advanced in the world is indeed true.
Surprisingly, Future Technology Group has sold five million electric motorcycles.
However, Future Technology Group is the leader in electric motorcycles, but what about cars?
They still didn't believe it, after all, they were just starting out.
But no matter what, they admit that one of their core technologies, the ternary lithium battery, has reached the international top level.
Hao Qiang went on to say, "Our independently developed millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic radar, and lidar have reached world-class technical standards. This is the first time in the automotive industry that all three types of radar have been used in a car."
As he spoke, the technical parameters of the three types of radars were also displayed on the big screen.
For example, millimeter-wave radar, in terms of operating frequency.
Common operating frequency bands are 24GHz and 77GHz.
Higher frequencies mean better resolution and smaller antenna size.
Future Technology Group's products have reached 79GHz.
In terms of detection distance,
Short distance: 0-30m
Medium distance: 30-100m
Long distance: 100-250m
World-class level: Long-distance radar reaches more than 250m, which is also the level of Future Technology Group.
Speed measurement range: relative speed ±280km/h or above;
Distance resolution: ≤0.1m, also reaching the international first-class level.
There are other key parameters such as speed resolution, angle measurement range, target recognition capability of more than 64, update rate, accuracy, anti-interference ability, environmental adaptability, power consumption, extremely small size, target classification, etc.
If it were not restricted by chip process and MIMO channel number, it can be said that it is the most advanced millimeter-wave radar in the world.
Next, Hao Qiang introduced the performance parameters of ultrasonic radar and lidar.
After comparing the parameters, the guests on the scene no longer questioned Hao Qiang's words.
It has really reached the world-class level. Even Hao Qiang was modest and said that it is almost at the top level in the world.
If it were not restricted by chip hardware, perhaps no international peer would be able to surpass it in the next five years.
Hao Qiang proudly said: "The international market price of a millimeter-wave radar of this level can reach US$500 per unit, and it is still not available.
In the future ES6, even the lowest configuration one will be equipped with 5!
We have 12 ultrasonic radars, 6 in the front and 6 in the rear.
We have one laser radar!
Ultrasonic radar is not expensive, but it cannot withstand large quantities.
LiDAR is very expensive. According to the technical performance described by Hao Qiang, it costs at least $3000.
Of course, after mass production, the price will drop a lot.
Millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic radar, and lidar are three types of products that truly belong to high-end technology industries and cannot be developed simply by having money.
Wang Chuanfu, who works in the automotive industry, never expected that the Future Technology Group had already developed it, and it was so high-end that it was even used in cars!
Generally, high-end cars are also equipped with the above radars, but in small quantities, and their performance parameters are so different from those of Future Technology Group that they cannot be compared at all.
"Awesome!" Wang Chuanfu couldn't help but sigh.
As a result, the cost of ES6 will be very high in the future.
I just don't know what the performance will be like after the configuration.
After listening to this, the other guests instantly felt that the future ES6 would be high-end and classy.
The world's most advanced ternary lithium battery is equipped with the world's most advanced driving assistance system sensors.
Just now, Hao Qiang mentioned a lot of technologies. Does that mean the technological level has reached world-class level or above?
Hao Qiang on the stage paused, took a sip of tea, and let the guests digest the information he had just said.
Perhaps, it was too shocking for them.
