Stop Fooling the Us, China Really is Doing This!

Chapter 297 Lei Jun is trying to kill himself?!Even before the Xiaomi Company new car launch event officially began, it had already launched intensive promotional efforts thanks to strong support from the state.

With the state as such a powerful backer, the attention it received skyrocketed like a rocket, instantly attracting a massive number of eyes to focus on it.

Especially during the promotional process, the maneuvers of Xiaomi Company were truly shocking!

They actually brought out a fifth-generation tank to build hype for the new car.

Furthermore, they publicly announced that a special segment would be prepared for the upcoming launch event!

That is, Lei Jun will personally drive the new car to have a head-on collision with the tank!

Once this gimmick was spread, the hype instantly reached its peak.

Even those who were usually not interested in Xiaomi Company cars had their curiosity piqued.

They wondered what exactly was going on; a car crashing into a tank—wasn’t that like an egg hitting a rock?

Yet, they really wanted to see what unexpected results would occur!

So, they all flocked to pay attention to this launch event.

Not only that, but this launch event also adopted a global live-streaming format; the breadth of its coverage and the magnitude of its influence can be imagined.

It is worth mentioning that in the process of the Dragon Kingdom capturing the global overseas automotive market, Xiaomi Company is the undisputed main force!

Relying on its own robust technology and cost-effectiveness advantages, it has carved out a significant territory in overseas markets. Precisely because of this, it has gained the favor of the state and been entrusted with the heavy responsibility of further expanding into the global market and elevating the influence of Dragon Kingdom automobiles.

With the dual assistance of Xiaomi Company’s own marketing and the state level, the results were immediate.

Even before the live stream began, millions of people were already waiting in the live broadcast room, all craning their necks in anticipation, looking forward to the curtain rising on this unique launch event.

The barrage comments in the chat section were refreshing frantically like snowflakes, with netizens voicing their opinions in a chaotic mix of voices.

”Holy crap, I heard Mr. Lei wants to see who is tougher, him or the tank. I really want to see what’s going on!”

”This wouldn’t just be a gimmick, right! How could a car possibly be tougher than a tank?”

”Exactly, and that tank is a fifth-generation tank. Do you guys know how thick its armor is?”

”Mr. Lei, we have always supported you, but pulling a stunt like this is not good! You are going to get flamed to death!”

”Everyone says Xiaomi Company marketing is top-tier, but I think they are going to crash and burn this time!”

...

Amidst this ocean of doubt and pessimistic barrage comments, the live stream began as scheduled.

As soon as the feed cut in, what appeared before the viewers’ eyes were winding and twisting racetracks.

The track shimmered with a unique luster under the sunlight, as if quietly waiting for something to break the silence.

And just then, it seemed like something was zipping through the racetrack at lightning speed!

The speed was simply too fast; the viewers widened their eyes, but could only see a faint afterimage!

It was as if a ghostly streak of light had flashed across the track!

It left people with no time to see clearly what it was.

Some well-informed netizens saw this and hurriedly posted their guesses in the barrage:

”A race car?! Holy crap, is Mr. Lei’s new car this time a race car?”

”No, whose race car is this fast? I can only see a faint afterimage. Is this damn thing fake?”

”I have had the fortune of watching real car races; this speed has already far exceeded that of a race car, and has even surpassed the speed of sound. Why does it feel faster than an airplane? This background can’t be fake, right?”

”Fake! It must be fake! Where is Mr. Lei? Hurry up and turn off the background, we want to see Mr. Lei!”

”Yes, we want to see Mr. Lei!”

Just as everyone was discussing it heatedly and the barrage was constantly scrolling, the director’s voice rang out at the right moment:

”Everyone, don’t be anxious, Mr. Lei will be here soon!”

As the director finished speaking, the car, which had previously only left an afterimage and was dazzlingly fast, began to gradually slow down. It was like an athlete slowly coming to a stop after a high-speed sprint, finally coming to a steady halt directly in front of the camera.

Immediately after, the car door slowly opened, and Lei Jun, wearing a handsome racing suit, stepped out full of energy.

He wore his trademark smile, enthusiastically waved at the camera to greet everyone, and said in a resonant voice:

”Hello, friends! Welcome to our new concept car launch event!”

Seeing Lei Jun unharmed and calm as he walked out of that car, which was as fast as a ghost!

The live broadcast room instantly erupted, as if a pot had exploded.

”Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! The background is actually real, which means everything just now was real!”

”Awesome! This car is awesome, and Mr. Lei’s driving skills are also awesome!”

”Something is wrong. This car doesn’t look like a race car; it has no difference in appearance from the previous model, so why is the speed so fast?”

”The exterior was already good-looking; I don’t care if they change it or not. The key is that with this speed, it definitely isn’t a new energy vehicle, right?”

”Exactly, it must be a gas car. But with gas prices so expensive right now, who can afford to fuel it! Although the car is awesome, launching a gas car at this time is a miscalculation by Mr. Lei!”

Everyone was marveling at the car’s speed while simultaneously making many guesses about its type. At the same time, they felt a sense of regret that this car might be a gas-powered vehicle. After all, in this current era of high gas prices, the operating cost of a gas car is simply too high!

Everyone was wondering, if such a good car had its sales affected by the issue of burning gas, that would be such a pity.

However, what Lei Jun said next almost made them lose their composure.

After greeting everyone, Lei Jun began to introduce the new concept car behind him with a face full of pride!

He raised his voice and said loudly:

”Friends, this is our newly released new concept car!”

”Of course, it is a new energy vehicle!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience in the live broadcast room were stunned for a moment, unable to snap back to reality for several seconds; everyone was shocked by this news.

Immediately after, the barrage in the live broadcast room scrolled crazily, as if it had gone mad.

”What? This thing is a new energy vehicle?”

”Whose new energy vehicle is this fast!!!!!”
