Chapter 356 Ge Junshan! You old geezer, you're a contrarian at heart!
Zhao Ruilong felt very uncomfortable as soon as Ge Junshan opened his mouth.
Not only did he act like an elder lecturing a younger person, condescending and bossy, but his tone was also full of sarcasm.
What the hell do you mean, "you've got guts"?
What does it mean that the price is as high as 500,000?
Does a completely new brand of domestically produced car not deserve to sell for over 500,000 yuan?
Only imported international brand cars are qualified to be sold at high prices as luxury cars?
"Damn it, we're not on the same wavelength. He can't stand anything I do, and everything I do is wrong!"
"But if you don't like Lao Tzu, and you don't like the cars I make, then what are you doing here?"
"After arriving, he made sarcastic remarks the moment we met. Did he come here specifically to cause trouble?"
"If he's really so disrespectful to his elders and bullies a junior like me, then why should I be polite?"
Think of this.
Zhao Ruilong looked in the direction Ge Junshan was pointing.
"Old Ge, you're right, I am indeed bold, but it's because I'm highly skilled that I'm bold!"
"The reason I dare to sell this car for over 500,000 yuan is because I have put a lot of thought and resources into it, from design and development to technical testing, from workmanship and materials to processing and production, in order to achieve advanced style, safety, comfort, and technological luxury."
"I am very clear that for a brand new brand and a brand new domestic car to break the stereotype that domestic cars are inferior and cheap, it must use the best technology, the best products and the best service to win people's recognition and support."
"Heaven rewards those who persevere! With the close cooperation of more than a thousand large and small units and the tireless efforts of hundreds of thousands of engineers day and night, we have finally succeeded in creating this domestically produced new energy luxury SUV with a stylish and attractive exterior and interior, advanced technological features, and a first-class driving experience."
"Therefore, it's not that I, Zhao Ruilong, have some kind of audacity to sell a bad car that's unattractive, difficult to drive, poorly made, and of low quality for over 500,000 yuan. It's entirely because you get what you pay for. This domestically produced luxury car, which doesn't have low production costs, has solid product capabilities, which is why it can be sold at a price that the market can accept!"
Zhao Ruilong had barely finished speaking.
Ge Junshan chuckled and said, "It hasn't even been officially launched yet, and we've only pre-sold over 12,000 vehicles. To say it's been recognized by the market already seems a bit overconfident, doesn't it?"
Zhao Ruilong's heart sank.
Good guy!
What a great guy!
The phrase "a smile that hides a dagger" is perfectly embodied in Ge Junshan!
He wore a kind and gentle smile, but the words that came out of his mouth were incredibly hurtful.
I really want to slap you first, then grab you by the collar and yell at you, you old geezer.
How could someone with a body temperature of over 30 degrees Celsius say such cold words?
However, having lived two lives, Zhao Ruilong was naturally not reckless or impulsive.
In the world before the time travel, short videos were rampant and self-media were everywhere.
Various keyboard warriors, sanctimonious hypocrites, and Western-worshipping dogs buzz around like flies all day long.
In order to attract attention and gain popularity, all kinds of extreme remarks have become commonplace.
If you get so angry and suicidal after being criticized a couple of times, you would have died of anger long ago.
Adhering to his principle of never letting himself be mistreated, Zhao Ruilong immediately smiled and said:
"Mr. Ge, you don't know this, but I'm never blindly confident. I only believe that you reap what you sow."
"I believe that people who can afford luxury cars priced at over 500,000 yuan are unlikely to be fools. If the car wasn't good, they wouldn't order so many just to give me face."
"So why can our car sell for such a high price, and why do so many people still order it? Let me take you to see it, and then we can have a test drive. I'm sure you'll have the answer then!"
Ge Junshan gave Zhao Ruilong a deep, smiling look.
When most people see themselves, they often feel flustered and unable to speak clearly.
And what about Zhao Ruilong?
This kid not only showed no nervousness, but was also quite eloquent.
Faced with his own difficult demands, he not only didn't get angry, but also calmly and methodically retorted.
"You little rascal, you've got some skills after all!"
"How could Zhao Lichun have given birth to such a monster?"
"How could such an exceptionally intelligent genius have been so foolish as to drive drunk back then?"
"If he hadn't killed someone while drunk driving and spent seven years in prison, he probably would have achieved extraordinary things by now!"
Thinking of this, Ge Junshan smiled and nodded.
He wasn't actually very interested in Zhao Ruilong's new car.
Today was purely by chance.
He had something urgent to discuss with General Manager Shen, but it turned out that General Manager Shen had already arranged to come and see the car, so he decided to go together.
I'll take a look and see what kind of domestic new energy vehicles dare to sell for over 500,000 yuan, and have already pre-sold more than 12,000 units even before officially launching.
Take your time and walk a little closer.
Its stylish and sophisticated appearance, along with its shimmering paint finish, is truly pleasing to the eye.
Over the years, I have never seen such a beautiful car on the street, not only when I am out and about.
He reads newspapers every day to learn about domestic and international affairs, but he has never seen such a beautiful car abroad.
But Ge Junshan was still very puzzled.
How could these domestic industrial design engineers design such a beautiful car?
If it weren't for the fact that even overseas versions aren't this good-looking, Ge Junshan would have thought they were plagiarizing.
As Zhao Ruilong approached, the vehicle automatically unlocked, unfolded its side mirrors, and the headlights illuminated in a smooth, sequential manner...
When Zhao Ruilong opened the car door, the electric running board slowly unfolded, revealing an interior that was free of any unpleasant odors or plasticky feel. The layout and design were eye-catching, and the interior exuded luxury and prestige...
In a trance.
Ge Junshan felt as if he were in a dream.
This car seems completely out of place in China today; it's not something that could be designed and produced in the country.
Only the West, with its advanced automotive industry and cutting-edge technology, could produce such technologically advanced and luxurious cars.
But rather...
This was developed and produced in China.
A country where joint venture cars dominate the automotive industry, and domestic cars can only win by being cheap.
Such a stark contrast is no less striking than that of an ordinary family struggling to make ends meet, yet they have raised a woman of exceptional temperament and outstanding talent and beauty.
"This...this is incredible!"
"Domestic cars can actually look this good!"
"An illusion! It must be an illusion! It's all show and no substance!"
"Yes, it might be just like some of the counterfeit and shoddy factories along the coast."
"It looks really good, as stylish as you can imagine, but it breaks down after only a short time!"
"Why would you put a TV screen on the center console of a car? Are you going to watch TV while driving?"
"And these seats, which look like they're made of good material and have nice colors, will probably fade and pill after a short time. They're not as durable as artificial leather!"
Ge Junshan was secretly muttering to himself.
But then they saw that President Shen was already sitting in the passenger seat with great interest.
"Mr. Ge, please sit in the passenger seat. I'll introduce you from the back!"
"OK, alright."
Ge Junshan casually agreed.
He bent down to get in the car and plopped down in the passenger seat.
The soft, comfortable chair instantly made him feel as if he had just returned home after a long day and was sitting on the sofa.
Moreover, compared to the large sofa in the living room, this chair is actually more comfortable because it conforms better to the back and waist.
Seeing the undisguised expression of satisfaction on Ge Junshan's face, Zhao Ruilong immediately smiled and said:
"In order to design and produce seats that are both safe and comfortable, I drew more than a thousand experts from different professional fields from various organizations to form a special research and development team for automotive seats."
"In addition to conventional professionals in mechanical engineering, electronics, and materials science, experts proficient in modern medicine, rehabilitation therapy, and life sciences also participated. After numerous and repeated experiments, they created an ergonomically designed chair..."
Whether Ge Junshan believes it or not, whether he likes to hear it or not.
Anyway, while Zhao Ruilong was explaining, he taught him how to adjust his sitting posture and turn on the seat massage function.
Even if they don't say a word of praise, their comfortable and contented expression is undeniable.
What followed was a concise yet comprehensive introduction.
Mr. Shen not only listened very attentively, but also asked questions from time to time out of curiosity.
After the introduction, they were even more eager to take it out for a test drive.
At this, Ge Junshan immediately looked troubled.
"No way? You want to test drive it?"
"How many years has it been since you last drove a car?"
"And with such a big car, and a brand new one at that, you might just get into an accident!"
President Shen smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned.
"They're just wandering around the stadium, not driving out. What big deal could happen?"
Ge Junshan frowned and said with a wry smile, "But you haven't driven a car for at least twenty or thirty years. Do you still remember how to drive?"
President Shen chuckled softly.
"I haven't driven a car for almost thirty years, but I worked at Shengyang Automobile Engine Factory for many years. How could I forget my skilled driving techniques so easily?"
"And didn't Ruilong just introduce it? This car is automatic, unlike a manual transmission, you don't need to use a clutch to shift gears, it's much simpler to operate."
"Even if the car is big, I'm not young anymore. I can just drive slowly, right? There isn't a single car in this huge stadium. What could possibly happen?"
"But……"
"There are no 'buts'. If you don't trust my skills, you can still get off the bus now!"
Upon hearing President Shen's words, Ge Junshan was immediately stunned.
Zhao Ruilong sat in the middle of the back row so he could easily make introductions through the central aisle.
Hearing Mr. Shen's words, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Is this a double entendre?
Is this an implication that Ge Junshan should leave quickly if he doesn't want to stay by President Shen's side?
Regardless of whether it was meant to imply something else, Ge Junshan was a bit stunned on the spot.
After a full two or three seconds, he said with a forced smile:
"It's not that I don't trust your driving skills, I'm just worried that you might not be able to handle this new car well."
President Shen scoffed, "I can control the entire Dragon Kingdom, so why are you afraid I can't control a mere new energy vehicle?"
"..."
Zhao Ruilong was momentarily stunned.
Mr. Shen's fiery temper is indeed quite formidable!
It seems he has been tolerating Ge Junshan for a long time.
Since it wasn't a formal occasion and there were no secretaries or guards around, they took advantage of the fact that it wasn't a formal occasion and there were no secretaries or guards around.
Inside the car, which had excellent sound insulation, there were only three people, and they immediately started arguing.
He used a seemingly joking remark to vent his long-suppressed dissatisfaction.
"It seems that high position and power do not necessarily mean that one is humble, restrained, and unable to show one's emotions."
"We are all human beings, and we all have tempers. When it's time to get angry, we will get angry too!"
"Moreover, although President Shen's question was not loud, it had the force of a thunderbolt!"
"This puts Ge Junshan in a difficult position to answer. If he continues to doubt that President Shen can drive well, wouldn't that be questioning his ability to govern the country?"
