#348 - Book five

That day, after Lu Haifeng watched the first round of pre-orders for the Hongmeng SE phone from Huaxing Technology sell out, he headed to Audi Motors.

Because Audi Motors' first true supercar was about to be launched, Lu Haifeng had already instructed the marketing department to start promoting it.

The research and development of the Audi R8 had been completed, and at the beginning of the year, the Huaxing Laboratory had been asked to help build the Audi R8 production line.

This was because the supercar's production line was different from Audi Motors' current modular architecture platform.

The biggest reason was that the supercar had a mid-engine, while Audi Motors' existing transverse engine modular architecture platform was not suitable for producing supercars!

The reason why supercars are so expensive is because of their manufacturing process, the vast majority of which is purely handmade.

For example, it takes at least a week to produce one Audi R8, and Audi Motors' capacity is only ten units per day.

And this is the mass-produced version; there is also a limited-edition soft-top convertible version, with all limited editions being crafted by top master craftsmen.

The Audi R8 limited edition and the mass-produced version have basically the same performance.

Apart from one being a hardtop and the other being a soft-top convertible, the biggest difference is that the limited-edition Audi R8 uses scissor doors.

Lu Haifeng thought this kind of door opening was very cool, so he asked the design department to make two different styles, after all, the prices were also different.

Moreover, Lu Haifeng didn't plan to produce too many limited editions, only intending to produce 66 units, because things are valued for their scarcity, and only a small number can reflect its value.

And five of them were already pre-ordered, and all of them were people who didn't pay.

One was given to the big star Chen Zining, which Lu Haifeng had promised during their blind date last time.

And during this time, this big star always complained to Lu Haifeng about the supercar, saying that Lu Haifeng always said it would be soon, but it kept being delayed, and asked Lu Haifeng when she would receive the car!

It wasn't until yesterday that Lu Haifeng said that she would receive the car in at most ten days, and only then was the big star satisfied and hung up the phone.

In fact, she wasn't really in a hurry to use the car, she had all kinds of sports cars in her garage.

It's just that after their blind date, she just wanted Lu Haifeng to value her.

She didn't even understand why she wanted Lu Haifeng to value her.

The second one was given to Chen Ningyun, who blackmailed him; Lu Haifeng couldn't afford to offend this woman.

The third one was given to his cousin Ye Lingzhi, who was even more impossible to offend than Chen Ningyun.

If she went crazy and beat him up in the company, wouldn't he lose face?

The fourth and fifth ones were given to his father and younger sister.

Lu Haifeng looked at the only two cars left in the warehouse, on the verge of tears.

I haven't even sold a single car, and you've already taken them all.

This is a purely handmade super supercar, and the cost is very high.

More than twenty top master craftsmen can only build one limited-edition Audi R8 per week at most.

Lu Haifeng looked at it and didn't want to be bothered, so he transported the two cars to Yanjing early the next morning, and the remaining three cars were also delivered to their owners.

After watching the cars being transported away, Lu Haifeng opened WeChat and sent a message to Chen Zining, asking her to do him a small favor after receiving the car.

However, to Lu Haifeng's surprise, Chen Zining was not in the country, but had gone abroad to attend a jewelry exhibition, so it didn't matter that she wasn't in the country.

However, the big star Chen said that she would not be able to return until tomorrow; it was estimated that by the time she returned, the Audi R8 that Lu Haifeng sent would have already arrived in Yanjing.

This time, for the launch of the Audi R8, Lu Haifeng also invited Du Chengnan, the editor-in-chief of Dongche.com, to conduct an exclusive media test drive.

The news of the Audi R8's launch had been prepared for publicity by Audi Motors a few days ago.

Dongche.com has always spared no effort in promoting Audi Motors.

Especially when the Audi A6 and A8 were launched, Dongche.com gave all of its media headline advertising spots to Audi Motors.

And the money they charged was not much.

In their words, it was to support the national enterprises of our Great Xia Country.

Lu Haifeng had also contacted Du Chengnan, the editor-in-chief of Dongche.com, several times by phone, expressing his gratitude for Dongche.com's support.

At that time, Lu Haifeng also guaranteed to Du Chengnan, the editor-in-chief of Dongche.com, that if Audi Motors released any new models in the future.

Then the first person to contact would be Dongche.com to conduct a test drive review, so that they could get the absolute first-hand news.

So this time, when the Audi R8 was about to be launched, Lu Haifeng asked someone to contact Du Chengnan, the editor-in-chief of Dongche.com, as soon as possible.

… …

Early the next morning, Du Chengnan brought dozens of employees from Dongche.com to Piaocheng.

Yesterday, when Du Chengnan received the official call from Audi Motors, inviting them to go to Piaocheng to participate in the Audi R8 exclusive media test drive, he was extremely excited.

In the car media industry, the most important thing is to be able to get first-hand information that others can't get in order to attract a lot of attention.

At more than ten o'clock in the morning, when Du Chengnan and his party walked out of the airport hall, they were immediately stunned.

Because on the road outside the airport hall, a row of more than a dozen Audi A8s were parked on the right side of the road, and the leading one was an Audi A8 long-wheelbase version.

Next to each car, there was a driver in a suit and leather shoes waiting!

Seeing this situation, a young man beside Du Chengnan whispered: "Editor-in-chief Du, are these cars here to pick us up?"

"Editor-in-chief, this treatment is too good, right? Using Audi A8s to pick us up!"

"Damn, this is the first time I've enjoyed such high-level treatment!"

"Hehe, as expected, it's great to come out with Editor-in-chief Du! This time, Audi Motors actually sent more than a dozen Audi A8s to pick us up!"

These Dongche.com employees who were traveling with Du Chengnan were shocked by the treatment of Audi Motors.

In the past, every time they went to various car manufacturers to participate in test drives, the best treatment was to send a bus to pick them up, but most of the time they took a taxi to the manufacturer themselves.

Only Audi Motors would send more than a dozen Audi A8s to pick them up.

The driver of the leading Audi A8, after seeing Du Chengnan and his party, smiled and immediately stepped forward to ask: "Hello, are you Mr. Du Chengnan, the editor-in-chief of Dongche.com?"

Du Chengnan immediately replied politely: "Hello, I am Du Chengnan, the editor-in-chief of Dongche.com!"

"Hello, Editor-in-chief Du, I was sent by President Lu to pick you up.

Please get in the car first! President Lu is already waiting for you at the company!"

After the driver finished speaking with a smile, he wanted to take Du Chengnan's bag, but Du Chengnan immediately said politely: "You're too kind, brother, I can do it myself!"

After the luggage was put away, the Dongche.com employees sat in the Audi A8 car and headed to the Audi Motors headquarters.

The treatment shown by Audi Motors made the Dongche.com group very grateful.

This was enough to prove Audi Motors' attention to them!
