Chapter 195 Everyone was slapped in the face!
One week before the month was up, Qin Hailang took out 5,000 engines from his system backpack and sent them to Geely's car factory in trucks to start installing the engines.
The day when 5,000 Xingchen R1 cars will be put into use in Guangzhou as free shared cars is getting closer.

"Have you heard that in a few days, there will be a car called Xingchen R1 available for free sharing at major car-sharing stations in Guangzhou!"
"Is it true?"
"Didn't the news say it?"
"Is this Xingchen R1 really free to use?"
"Yes, it is said that you only need an ID card to drive it away for free, but you need to fill up the gasoline yourself. By the way, you can't drive it for more than 36 hours a week. Once you exceed 36 hours, you will be charged, which is very expensive. One thousand yuan per minute!"
"Free? Then I must try it when the time comes!"
"It looks quite fashionable and good-looking. I just don't know if the power is good enough."
"Haha, no matter if it works or not, I will drive it for free, and I must try it. Anyway, it's driving in the city, and power is not important."
"Yes, yes, it's better than taking the bus or the subway, right?"
"That's right!"
Although no one thinks the quality of Xingchen R1 will be good. Many people are generally not optimistic about it, and almost no one is interested. But many people see that cars are shared for free. Many people don't care about the quality and driving feeling. Anyway, it's free, better than driving a motorcycle in the wind and sun, right?
Therefore, many people in Guangzhou are still looking forward to the arrival of the day when this Xingchen car will be shared for free.
Because currently those shared cars require money and are charged by the hour. Now that Xingchen cars are completely free, it's different.
Free things always attract many people.
Directly putting 5,000 cars on the market for free sharing, it is estimated that only super-rich people like Qin Hailang can do it.
Without frowning.
December 1st is the day when Xingchen R1 cars put free shared cars. Unknowingly, it is already the end of the year.
On this day, 5,000 Xingchen R1 cars appeared in major shared car stations in Guangzhou.
All new cars, all Xingchen car logos.
A GG sign has been hung outside major car-sharing stations, which reads: Xingchen R1 car is free to share, only an ID card is needed!
Sure enough, the free car-sharing on this day still attracted many people to borrow Xingchen cars.
Among the many users who borrowed Xingchen cars, Liu Qi is one of them.
Today he plans to go camping in a holiday villa in the suburbs with his girlfriend Chen Xiaohuan.
It is about 80 kilometers away from Yangcheng City, so it is better to drive by yourself.
So Liu Qi plans to rent a car and drive there!
Yesterday he saw that there was a free shared car in Yangcheng. So he planned to borrow this one. After all, renting a car costs hundreds or thousands of yuan. Isn't this money? Since it is free, of course it should be free.
If there is a free one, you are a fool not to use it?
To be honest, if he hadn't just ordered a Borui some time ago, he probably wouldn't have been able to pick up Chen Xiaohuan. The other party also accepted his pursuit after seeing that he ordered a car.
The car has been ordered, but it will take another week to pick it up.
Going camping now is of course bad things to do, hehe.
"Liu Qi, the Internet says that this Xingchen R1 car is launched by a new car company. Many people are rumored that the quality is definitely not up to standard. Are we sure we want to use this car? Although it is free, but..." Chen Xiaohuan said with some worry. After all, many people on the Internet say that the Xingchen R1 car GG boasted too much. It is impossible to be as good as GG boasted.
"It's okay, we are not buying this car, we just use it for a day or two! Even if it is bad, as long as it doesn't go on strike, it's fine." Liu Qi said nonchalantly.
"Okay." Chen Xiaohuan could only nod after hearing this. In fact, she was just worried that there would be problems with the car. After all, driving a car is dangerous.
Liu Qi came to the nearest shared car station and went to the front desk to handle the procedures. The process was very simple. All he needed was an ID card. He didn't even need a deposit.
More than ten minutes later, Liu Qi successfully got a Xingchen R1 car.
Looking at the fashionable and sporty appearance of the Xingchen R1 car, Liu Qi was amazed: "Although I don't know whether the internal engine and chassis are good. At least the shell is pretty good-looking."
"Yes, the design is more fashionable and sporty. It's a bit like a bridge race~" Chen Xiaohuan also nodded in agreement.
"Let's go, put away the luggage, and we're ready to go." Liu Qi said.
The two quickly moved all the luggage to the trunk, stepped on the gas, and sat in.
"Wow, it's still a one-button start! Not bad."
As Liu Qi ignited the engine, the R86 engine in the Xingchen car suddenly burst into a strong roar.
"Boom boom boom..."
The engine sound is quite loud, just like the engine of a sports car.
"This sound is the same as the one on GG. It does sound like the sound of a sports car engine! I think it's either a simulated sound wave or a specially designed sound wave exhaust pipe for the exhaust pipe." Liu Qi smiled and shook his head. He didn't think that a broken car would have the engine of a sports car.
Put down the brake and start to press the accelerator gently.
"boom!"
The car started running normally.
After all, the throttle is not designed to be very sensitive in the initial stage. Even if it is a sports car, it will be very sensitive only when it reaches a certain value.
If you lightly step on the accelerator when starting and fly out, wouldn't the person driving a sports car be killed every minute?
"Well, does it feel good?" After driving out onto the road, Liu Qi found that the car felt good.
After merging onto the road, Liu Qi continued to step on the accelerator to speed up!
The engine became louder as the throttle was increased.
The speed of the car also increased instantly!
"Boom boom boom!"
Whoosh, the speed increased from 40 to 80 hours.
The sudden change almost scared Liu Qi!
"Holy shit, this acceleration is too abnormal, isn't it? Is it really like what GG said, it can kill a Ferrari 488 in an instant?" Liu Qi was shocked.
"This car accelerates so fast! It feels like the engine of a sports car." Chen Xiaohuan was also shocked.
"We will know after we give it a try." Liu Qi had a bold idea in his mind. If he wanted to see if the engine was not powerful, he could only step on the accelerator to overtake. Although Liu Qi hasn't mentioned a new car yet, he usually drives a company car, so his skills are pretty good.
"boom!"
Press the accelerator hard.
The speed continues to increase!
In just one second, the speed that had just fallen back to 60 hours suddenly increased to 90 hours!
At the same time, it instantly overtook a BMW X6.
"It's actually true! Its acceleration is definitely comparable to that of a sports car." Liu Qi exclaimed.
Before, he thought those GG propaganda were all fake. How could a four-cylinder engine reach 100mph in 2.1 seconds? Many sports cars costing more than one million cannot reach this level. Not to mention your domestic car.
However, just now he felt it personally.
"There is still too much traffic here, so it is difficult to test. After we leave the city later, we can test it on the highway!" Liu Qi was slightly excited.
Half an hour later, Liu Qi walked onto the highway.
When they reached a section of road with no cameras or cars, Liu Qi started to step on the accelerator!
The speed that was originally 60 per hour began to increase continuously!
80mph...
90mph...
100mph...
160mph...
200mph...
"It only took 6 seconds! Oh my god!" Liu Qi's eyes widened and he couldn't close his mouth because he was so shocked.
Can you imagine what it feels like to go from 60 to 200 mph in just 6 seconds?
Thatβs cool, itβs so cool!
"Hurry up, record a video for me, I want to post it on Moments!" Liu Qi said to his girlfriend Chen Xiaohuan.
"good."
The two of them did various tests on the road, testing the awesomeness of the engine in various places. Accelerate to 100 kilometers, accelerate to 200 kilometers...
Soon, two videos were posted to Liu Qiβs circle of friends.
The first video is accelerating from zero. When the car reaches 100 kilometers per hour, it only takes 2.1 seconds!
"Damn it, Liu Qi, you bought a sports car?"
"Liu Qi, where did you steal the sports car?"
"It only takes 2.1 seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers? Damn, it's faster than a Ferrari 488. What kind of car is this?"
Not long after, four or five people in the circle of friends started asking Liu Qi.
"Ahem, this is the Xingchen R1 car. The engine seems to be called the R86 engine, and it seems to be a four-cylinder..." Liu Qi replied.
His reply indeed made many people look like they had seen a ghost.
"Holy shit, Xingchen R1 car? Is this the free shared car that will be officially launched in Yangcheng today?"
"It only takes 2.1 seconds for a four-cylinder engine to accelerate to 100 miles per hour? Oh my God, what GG said is actually true!"
"Let's go, let's go to the sharing station to borrow one and give it a try!"
"..."
When Liu Qi drove to his destination, he still felt like he didn't have enough fun. This driving experience is definitely something he will never forget.
This Xingchen R1 car is really shocking.
"It only takes 2.1 seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers, and the price is only 200,000 yuan! It is definitely worth it! And there will be a one-month promotion price next month, with a 50% discount, you can buy it for 100,000 yuan. Oops , I really regret buying the Borui! If I had bought it later, I would have chosen the Xingchen R1 directly! "Liu Qi regrets it at this moment. He has already booked a car and paid the money. What can he say?
And he also tested it and found that although this car is very powerful, it consumes very little fuel. It only costs 6 cents per kilometer to drive in urban areas and 4 cents per kilometer on highways. Itβs so exciting!
On this day, everyone is destined to be slapped in the face!
