City: I, A World Car Overlord

Chapter 6

The new car testing continued, and the inspired employees immediately plunged into the intense work.

Lin Fan convened the managers and supervisors of several departments including the operation department, sales department, and legal department to launch a follow-up meeting on new car review, sales, and publicity.

Pan Qiang, the manager of the operation department, handed over a document and said: “Mr. Lin, Baolong MPV has been offline. We have nearly a hundred innovations. I think the most urgent task is to apply for patents for these innovations and submit the whole vehicle for review.”

Lin Fan took the documents, marked the relevant items and handed them back to Pan Qiang, “After the new car comes out, you will immediately take your brother to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Patent Office of Beijing for relevant submission for review and patent application.”

Pan Qiang took the document and looked at it, and immediately wondered: “Mr. Lin, graphene battery technology, carbon nanomaterial technology, super magnetic drive technology, X aluminum alloy technology, don’t you need to apply for patents, if…”

Lin Fan interrupted Pan Qiang’s words: “These are our company’s core technologies. We will not apply for patents for the time being. As for your worries, it is completely unnecessary. I have my own plan when I will apply for a patent.”

These are system black technologies, products that have surpassed this era. Lin Fan does not want to publish relevant information. He does not believe that a patent can guarantee that these technologies will not be stolen by outsiders…

Seeing that Lin Fan looked firm, Pan Qiang did not speak any more. They were all industry elites, and they didn’t understand Lin Fan’s thoughts.

Later, the sales manager also submitted a report: “Mr. Lin, regarding the sales strategy of the new car, I suggest extending the use of the previous dealership in the early stage.”

“After our market opens and we have a certain amount of beer, we will hold a dealer conference to accept applications from new dealers and fully establish our 4S shop.”

Lin Fan looked at the report, and after thinking about it, Weiwei said, “This plan is good, but the requirements for new dealers in the early stage can be relaxed appropriately. What I am talking about is the agency fee and decoration requirements.”

“But the selling price and matching must be unified. For behaviors such as random price increases, forcing customers to choose matching, and price increases to raise cars, once discovered, the qualification of consignment sales will be cancelled immediately and will not be tolerated.”

“Okay, President Lin.”

Lin Fan very much agrees with the sales manager’s plan to form a 4S store on his own, instead of handing it over to a dealer company.

Although the operating costs of self-organizing 4S stores have increased, the 4S stores below can be better controlled, and there will be no messy behavior by the dealer company.

After all, merchants are profit-seeking. In order to pursue higher profitability, dealer companies often fine-tune the price of vehicles according to different regions, force customers to choose and match them, and even raise prices and other behaviors.

Lin Fan doesn’t want to see others smash his own brand in this three-acre land in the Tian Dynasty.

The sales manager asked again: “Regarding the pricing of new cars, what is Mr. Lin’s instructions? Although it is still an MPV, it is an electric car after all. I don’t have any plans for reference.”

Lin Fan thought for a while: “As you said, although our cost has been reduced, ours is an electric car, and its performance is not inferior to that of an internal combustion engine car. I decided to keep the price between 10,000 and 68,000.”

The price is slightly lower than the micro MPVs such as Wuling and Daewoo on the market, but Baolong electric MPV abandons the three major parts of Mitsubishi, and coupled with the technical support of automotive black technology, the actual cost is greatly reduced.

Previously, the low cost price of Baolong micro-face was 30,000 yuan, and the price was 10,000 yuan, with only 8,000 yuan in profit.

The current cost is less than 20,000, and the price is also 10,000, of which the profit is 18,000, more than doubled.

This is just a low-end van. If there are hundreds of thousands of luxury cars, millions to tens of millions of ultra-luxury cars, how terrible the profit margin is.

This is the huge benefit brought by the independent intellectual property rights. Before using Mitsubishi’s three major pieces, I was forced to build a car, and Mitsubishi made the bulk of it. Lin Fan felt painful thinking about it.

In fact, with the super performance of the Baolong electric MVP and the drastic reduction in driving costs, Lin Fan can completely increase the price, and after a long period of washing, it can still sell well.

After all, Baolong electric MPV can run 7,000 or 8,000 kilometers with a single charge, and how much fuel needs to be added to an internal combustion engine car for 7,000 or 8,000 kilometers. Whichever one is cost-effective, anyone can calculate it.

But Lin Fan wanted to build an electric car that ordinary people could afford, and to reduce the dimensionality of those foreign cars, so that they were completely stunned.

Hearing that Lin Fan still kept the Baolong electric MPV for sale at the original price, the eyes of the managers and supervisors who were present looked at Lin Fan even more differently.

If it is said that under the leadership of Lin Fan, they have built such a powerful electric car, they are full of admiration for Lin Fan.

So, under the circumstances that Baolong electric MPV has such advantages, it is still sold at the original price, which is simply a conscientious entrepreneur.

At this time, the biggest pressure was Liu Meimei, the manager of the planning department. As the new car had just rolled off the assembly line and the parameters were unknown, she had not yet made a relevant publicity plan.

Seeing that Mr. Lin did not urge, she made up her mind even more, and must make a publicity plan that satisfies Mr. Lin, and contribute to the big sales of Baolong electric MPVs. .
