Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

When all domestic automobile companies were opening their application papers, Zeng Tingting suddenly came to Cao Yang's office and reported a rather surprising news.

"Mr. Cao, our Yangwang bulletproof version suddenly received a large order of 200 units from Mexico. At the same time, the dealer in the Middle East also placed an additional order for 300 units. This has exceeded the total sales of the bulletproof version in the past year."

The overall sales volume is over 100,000 units per year, but the sales volume of the top-of-the-line bulletproof version is actually only two to three hundred units a year, which is not particularly high.

After all, the selling price of tens of millions in China and more than one million or even two million US dollars overseas is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

Of course, ordinary people don’t have any requirements for bulletproof.

To suddenly receive an order for 500 vehicles is definitely an exaggerated figure.

It can even be said to be an abnormal data.

That's why it attracted Zeng Tingting's attention.

"Oh?"

"Have you confirmed the reason?"

Cao Yang knew that with Zeng Tingting's style of doing things, she would not just come running over to explain to him when she encountered something strange.

She must have confirmed some backstory.

Sure enough, Zeng Tingting opened her computer and showed Cao Yang a video.

In the picture, more than a dozen vehicles from relevant departments were chasing the two cars looking up.

During the chase, both sides continued to fight back with various guns.

One of the cars was obviously bulletproof, and although it was hit by many bullets, the impact was not great.

The rear windshield of another car was shattered. The person inside lowered his head and raised the muzzle of his gun to fire outside.

This scene is very explosive.

But in Mexico, it doesn't seem to be a strange thing.

"Mr. Cao, look at this car. There is no one in the driver's seat, but the car is moving normally at high speed."

Zeng Tingting reminded him from the side.

Obviously, this is a very crucial message in the video.

Looking back at last year’s upgraded version, the NS8155 chip was already in use, and the assisted driving function was greatly improved.

Although we dare not advertise that you can drive with your hands off the steering wheel, in fact, in many road conditions, there is no problem with taking your hands off the steering wheel.

The driver who was looking up in front of me was not sure whether he was shot dead or was busy suppressing the pursuing vehicles. In any case, he was not in the driver's seat.

"According to foreign media reports, the two Yangwang vehicles eventually escaped the encirclement of relevant departments. It can even be seen from the video that some people in the vehicles were injured, and only one person was able to fight back normally."

"Under normal circumstances, they would definitely not be able to escape."

"But because of the autonomous driving function, the vehicle successfully escaped the pursuit."

"After our investigation, we believe that it was this news that prompted some talented people in Mexico to purchase 200 bulletproof versions of the Yangwang."

"As for the Middle East, it is probably because of the safety of the bulletproof version and its excellent performance in autonomous driving that they received an order for 300 vehicles."

Zeng Tingting didn't keep anyone in suspense and gave a quick explanation.

This made Cao Yang laugh.

In recent years, companies under Nanshan Automobile Group have been constantly promoting their excellent performance in autonomous driving.

After all, this is where it is easiest to widen the gap with other car companies.

This is also an area where Nanshan Automobile Group is relatively good at.

But unexpectedly, this time it became popular because of an accidental video of "thump thump thump".

"This video probably cannot be used in formal domestic promotional channels, but you can consider using other methods to quickly promote it privately."

“It should be very helpful to increase the visibility of our autonomous driving functions.”

Cao Yang immediately realized the usefulness of this video.

Those people from Mexico provided me with such good materials. It would be a pity if they were wasted.

"Yeah, I think so too."

"In the next stage, I plan to have Xingchen Auto, Jaguar Land Rover and Future Auto all focus on promoting their autonomous driving functions."

“When people talk about autonomous driving in the future, they will think of our brand.”

"Especially now that the competition situation in the industry has changed significantly, it is difficult to demonstrate our superiority simply by competing with ordinary equipment."

As an old hand who has been working in the automotive industry for more than ten years, Zeng Tingting can naturally fully feel the changes in this industry.

It is not easy for Nanshan Automobile Group to continuously consolidate its advantageous position without doing something innovative.

Technologies such as hot stamping, the use of high-strength steel plates, or the installation of other special equipment can no longer be competitive at this time.

Because other people can catch up with these things very quickly.

However, when it comes to autonomous driving, it is not so easy to catch up.

Nanshan Automobile Group has more than 10,000 technicians working on the research and development of autonomous driving related functions.

The annual salary of these people is generally more than 50 yuan, and some even earn one million yuan a year.

Apart from the leading Internet companies that can afford such a team of programmers, it is difficult for ordinary physical enterprises to afford it.

This alone has eliminated many people.

The most important thing is that even if you recruit a large number of R&D personnel, you may not be able to develop an autonomous driving function with good performance in the end.

This thing is also closely related to chip technology and component technology.

Currently, Nanshan Automobile Group is definitely a leading company in the world.

"The autonomous driving function is closely related to the sense of technology that we have been promoting for Xingchen Automobile."

"In the past, we could compete on engine performance and the number of gearbox gears, but in the future, we will focus on autonomous driving and smart cockpits, which will further distance us from other automakers."

"We can even consider expanding the market globally through this opportunity, so that Xingchen Auto's global sales can hit the long-term goal of 200 million vehicles, and Jaguar Land Rover can also become a car company with annual sales of more than 100 million vehicles."

"As for the future car, I hope that its sales will be greater than that of Xingchen Auto and Jaguar Land Rover combined."

"I hope that the annual sales of Nanshan Automobile Group's three major brands plus Nanshan Hongqi will reach 1000 million vehicles in the future."

Cao Yang directly set a very challenging goal for Zeng Tingting.

1000 million vehicles, this is not so easy to achieve.

You know, the world's number one car company basically has this sales level.

The key is that the models of Nanshan Automobile Group are priced much higher than those of General Motors, Toyota and Volkswagen, which are automakers that have the strength to compete for the world's top spot.
