Chapter 1462 Sir, times have changed

"They'll have something to relive for a while now. They're probably thinking you're incredibly arrogant."

Luo Feng smiled indifferently, looking in the direction of his booth, "Instead of wasting time on meaningless socializing, let the products speak for themselves."

"It's okay if they don't understand; the market will provide the answer."

"Let's go, the show has only just begun, don't let these people affect your mood."

Little did they know, the impact on their mood had only just begun.

He walked with two female companions toward the display stand that belonged to his wife.

Luo Feng went to great lengths to transport this beautiful woman.

It left behind the complex and unfathomable gazes of those traditional giants.

As soon as Luo Feng and his two companions arrived at Su Qi's booth, the car company executives who had been turned away behind them gathered in the rest area in the corner of the exhibition hall.

Hans slammed his coffee cup down on the table, his smile vanished, and he complained to the other two.

"This Luo Feng is incredibly arrogant! He's just a young man who rose to fame through hype and speculation. Does he really think he can revolutionize the automotive industry?"

The Italian manager toyed with his sunglasses, his tone laced with sarcasm.

"His so-called ecological closed loop is, in my opinion, a castle in the air."

“He refuses our technical cooperation and looks down on traditional channels. I’d like to see how his wife and children will survive in Europe.”

The dealer also chimed in, "We control most of the resources in Oucheng. He thinks he can open up the market through direct sales? That's just a pipe dream."

"We need to let everyone in the industry know how arrogant this wealthy man from China is, so that no one is fooled by his gimmicks."

The three hit it off immediately and took out their phones to send messages to their respective networks.

In just half an hour.

"Luo Feng arrogantly refused to cooperate with established car companies, and thought too highly of himself."

"Chinese investors don't understand the automotive industry and are trying to use capital to manipulate the market."

Comments such as "Suqi is just a gimmick with a different name, not worthy of serious consideration" quietly spread within the industry circles at the exhibition.

Some journalists even received anonymous tips and began writing biased articles.

The news quickly reached Luo Feng's ears, and it was the staff member in charge of the exhibition's public relations who rushed over to report it.

"Mr. Luo, there are some unpleasant rumors circulating outside. They say... they say that after you refused to cooperate, several car company executives criticized you for being unprofessional, and even said that our Su-Chung is a copy of Porsche's design..."

Luo Feng was examining Su Qi on the display stand when he heard this. He merely raised his eyes slightly, his palm gliding along the waistline of the car body with a smooth, silky touch, his tone completely indifferent.

"Let them talk."

"People can't keep their mouths shut."

Lin Naoko, standing to the side, frowned instantly, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

"This is outrageous! They were the ones who tried to take advantage and were rejected, and now they're turning around and throwing mud at us!"

"No, I have to go find those reporters and clarify things, let them know who's in the wrong!"

As she was about to turn around and confront the media, Luo Feng grabbed her arm.

"Don't go," Luo Feng shook his head and said in a low voice.

"Arguing with them about these things is pointless; it will only escalate the situation and turn it into a pointless war of words."

He pointed to his beautiful wife in front of him, his eyes resolute.

"You see, it's the one that can really speak."

"Once the exhibition starts, the performance parameters are announced, and the test drive experience is opened, these rumors will naturally fall apart."

"True strength is strength itself, and that's more effective than any excuse."

We're long past the era of mudslinging. Whoever has the best product and the best value for money will naturally find buyers.

Only these outdated traditional car companies are still using this method.

My lord, times have changed.

Bai Ningbing nodded slightly in agreement, saying, "That's right."

"Instead of wasting energy on verbal arguments, let's focus on our product."

Lin Naoko bit her lip, but ultimately suppressed her anger and simply snorted.

"Consider them lucky. Once Su's wife stuns the audience, let's see what they have to say then!"

Luo Feng smiled, no longer dwelling on the matter, and led the two to the center of the booth.

At this moment, Su's wife is basking in the spotlight.

The body features a futuristic flowing silver color scheme, with the roofline gently sloping down from the pillars to create a fastback design, which retains the space advantages of an SUV while also possessing the dynamism of a coupe.

The front grille is seamlessly integrated with the two LED headlights.

The aerodynamic kit below is comfortably arranged.

The wheels feature a custom-designed petal shape, resembling a blooming metal flower when turned.

This stunning design instantly attracted the attention of most of the reporters in the exhibition hall, with camera shutters clicking incessantly, and the crowd gradually gathering towards the booth.

"Is this the new energy SUV that Luofeng Investment is producing? It looks amazing!"

"The lines are so smooth, even bolder than the designs of many traditional luxury brands!"

Just as everyone was marveling at the scene, a slightly teasing voice suddenly came from the crowd.

The speaker was a journalist from a local European automotive media outlet. He was holding a camera and his tone was somewhat skeptical.

"Mr. Luo, if I may be so bold, the side profile and rear design of this Suqi look a bit like a Porsche Cayenne, especially that sloping roofline. Could it be... that it borrowed someone else's design?"

As soon as he said this, the surrounding chatter immediately subsided, and all eyes were focused on Luo Feng, even the pace of taking pictures slowed down a bit.

After all, plagiarism and borrowing have always been the most sensitive topics in the automotive industry.

If this is confirmed, Su Qi's reputation will collapse just as it's taking off.

Lin Naizi's face darkened, and she was about to retort when Luo Feng stepped forward first, a calm smile on his face, and asked the reporter, "Sir, do you think it looks like a Cayenne because of its fastback design and body proportions?"

The reporter paused for a moment, then nodded.

"That's right, especially from this angle, the tapering curve at the rear and the taillight layout have a clear similarity."

Luo Feng didn't deny it directly. Instead, he raised his hand and gestured for everyone to look at the side of the car. His voice clearly carried throughout the room. "Everyone can take a closer look. The wheelbase of the Suqi is 2980mm, which is a full 120mm longer than the Cayenne. This means that its rear seat space is much larger."

"Secondly, our fastback design begins to transition from the middle of the roof, while the Cayenne's fastback starts further back. This is to accommodate our self-developed battery pack layout, ensuring range without sacrificing headroom."

He paused, walked to the rear of the car, and pointed to the taillights, explaining, "As for the taillights, we use a star ring design, with 168 individual LED bulbs inside."

"It supports twelve dynamic effects, including flowing turn signals and a breathing welcome effect, which are patented technologies that Porsche does not have."

"If we're accused of copying something just because of the common design feature of a sloping roof, does that mean all four-door coupes have to be said to resemble the Mercedes-Benz CLS?"

These words were logically clear, well-reasoned, and supported by a common industry case, leaving the reporter speechless.

To be honest, what car doesn't look like this these days?
With so many cars, can simply changing their names really solve the problem?

The people around nodded in agreement, and upon closer comparison with their memories of the Cayenne's design, they indeed discovered many differences.

Suqi's design is more radical and technologically advanced in its details, and is by no means a simple imitation.

Paying tribute through innovation—that's the true path to success!

Luo Feng didn't press the matter further, but instead added with a smile, "Of course, Porsche is an excellent brand, and being compared to it is a recognition of Su Qi's design."

"But I can say with certainty that every design of Suqi comes from our understanding of the future of travel. All design patents have been registered, and there is no question of any borrowing."

What is the pattern?

This is the layout!

I absolutely will not downplay one while praising another!

After he finished speaking, he gestured to the staff behind him.

Soon, the large screens on both sides of the booth lit up and began playing Suqi's design analysis video.

From the initial sketches to the data simulation of the testing, and then to the independent research and development of the components, every step was clearly traceable, completely dispelling everyone's doubts.

Gasps of surprise rose again from the crowd.

The sound of camera shutters also became more frequent.

The earlier banter and skepticism have long been replaced by curiosity about the product.

Strength is the only true measure of success!

Meanwhile, Hans and the others in the distant rest area learned of this scene through a message from their assistant, and their expressions became even more grim.

They originally intended to suppress Luo Feng through rumors, but they didn't expect that the other party would turn the crisis into an opportunity to showcase the product with just a simple explanation.

These three people have really shot themselves in the foot.

Looking at the lively scene before him, Luo Feng turned to Lin Naizi and smiled, "You see, this is the effect of strength."

Lin Naoko pursed her lips, but couldn't help but smile. "You're pretty good."

"But if anyone dares to talk nonsense again, I won't let it go so easily!"

Bai Ningbing held Luo Feng's arm, her eyes full of admiration.

"Shouldn't you release the performance parameters next?"

"I can't wait to see if its performance matches its good looks."

Luo Feng nodded, his gaze fixed on the host's podium in the center of the exhibition booth.

"Don't rush, the real show is just beginning."

Just as the host picked up the microphone, ready to announce the core performance parameters of Suqi, the lights in the exhibition hall suddenly went out.

The once dazzling exhibition booth was suddenly plunged into darkness, with only the green indicator light of the emergency exit emitting a faint glow.

A gasp and commotion immediately erupted from the crowd.

"What's going on? There's a power outage?"

"Don't push! Be careful not to bump into the display vehicle!"

In the chaos, Luo Feng's eyes suddenly sharpened.

He could clearly sense that three malevolent auras were rapidly approaching from different directions.

The footsteps were light and quick, indicating that they had come prepared.

"Watch out!" Luo Feng shouted in a low voice, instinctively shielding Bai Ningbing and Lin Naizi behind him.

Almost at the same second, a dark figure on his left swung a wooden stick at his back, while two others on his right attacked simultaneously, their sticks whistling as they aimed straight for his vitals.

But to Luo Feng, these people's speed was as slow as slow motion.

He neither dodged nor avoided, but sidestepped the wooden stick on the left, and at the same time grabbed the other person's wrist with his other hand and twisted it gently.

With a sharp "crack" followed by a piercing scream, the wooden stick fell to the ground, the man's wrist twisted at an eerie angle.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Feng's figure blurred, and he appeared in front of the two people on the right like a ghost.

Before they could react, his knee slammed into one of them in the abdomen, and the man instantly bent over and fell to the ground, curling up in pain.

Seeing this, the other man raised his stick to strike Luo Feng's head, but Luo Feng reached out and grabbed the stick.

He pulled the man forcefully in front of him, then struck him hard in the chest with his elbow. Another scream rang out, and the man clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.

The whole process took only two or three seconds, with screams echoing in the darkness.

Luo Feng scoffed.

That's it?

It's unbelievable that someone would actually resort to such despicable tactics!
However, Luo Feng felt that these three people might not be after him, but perhaps they wanted to sabotage Su Qi's car.

After all, transporting goods is extremely difficult.

The surrounding crowd could only hear brief sounds of fighting and cries of pain, and could not see what was happening at all. They could only become more and more panicked in the darkness.

Just then, the exhibition hall's backup power finally came on, and the lights came back on.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw three men dressed in black hoodies lying on the ground in front of the Suqi booth, each holding a wooden stick as thick as a wrist...
