Chapter 20: Hot all over the Internet, Hongxia cars are sold out!
Several individuals exchanged glances and burst into laughter. It must be acknowledged that the depth and breadth of Huaxia’s literature were profound, often echoing in people’s ears with multiple layers of understanding. Thankfully, it all turned out to be a mere misunderstanding.
Lin Yang declined the 50,000 yuan thank-you fee and calmly accepted it yesterday. However, today’s 50,000 yuan seemed more like a ransom for a child. If he had taken it, it raised the question, “Who am I?” After the little girl’s family left, Director Yang greeted Lin Yang, expressing relief and awarding him 1,000 yuan on behalf of the West Sea City Public Security Bureau.
Despite not making a significant error, Lin Yang was surprised by the reward. Gratefully, he accepted the money, thinking any amount was acceptable, considering the potential one billion championship prize.
After leaving the police station, Lin Yang, feeling the financial pinch from the day’s drag racing expenses, filled up his gas tank. The damage to his car from aggressive driving added to the costs, making the 1,000 yuan reward seem modest. Nonetheless, he accepted it graciously.
During lunch, an aerial drag racing video went viral online, showcasing the entire race from start to finish. Titled the “Real version of Fast and Furious,” the video quickly climbed the hot search rankings. Viewers were captivated by the Hongqi car’s agile pursuit of a locomotive, especially during S-curves, where its precision and skill were deemed miraculous.
Netizens expressed awe and disbelief, praising the “high energy in the front row” and calling it “handsome” and “cool.” The police car’s entry into the scene intensified the spectacle, creating a crazy and cinematic atmosphere. The video left everyone in suspense until a subsequent edited version revealed the outrageous and unknown conversations during the race.
[I lost to an online taxi car on West Sea Chunghwa Avenue this morning. He changed lanes with inertia and elegance. His car was very fast. I only saw two large characters on his taillight, red flag!].
[I lost to an Emma electric car last night. He used inertial drift to corner, and the car was very fast. I only saw an afterimage. If you know who he is, please tell his family. The car rolled down the hill.].
[Are all the online car-hailing cars like this now? With his drag racing skills, becoming a semi-professional is definitely not a problem, but he actually came to drive an online taxi car. What do you think!].
[Don’t take your hobbies to challenge my career. This is the road’s limit, not the driver’s. If someone tells me he can take off on the spot, I will believe it!].
[This ending is too funny. So many police forces were dispatched, and it turned out to be an oolong. I thought I was catching wanted criminals in such a big battle before, but I really never expected this ending.].
….
Despite being released for over an hour, the hottest video quickly surpassed a million likes and collections. The visual impact of the drag racing heightened viewers’ adrenaline, especially for car enthusiasts who dreamt of replicating such feats.
The video showcased the impressive performance of domestically made cars, dispelling doubts about their capabilities. Negotiating complex road sections, executing challenging manoeuvres, and chasing a locomotive highlighted the strict requirements for the car’s performance.
The results, including emergency braking, flawless hedging, and rapid acceleration, demonstrated the car’s exceptional capabilities. Notably, the recent high-quality designs of domestically produced cars, with a particular focus on brands like Hongqi, captured the attention of netizens.
[I’m not afraid of the public with letters, but of the red flag with microphones, the light of domestic products! Initially, I was still struggling to buy a low-end BBA. Now that I saw this, I changed my mind. I will go to the Sizi store in the afternoon to have a look!].
[Domestic products should be self-reliant! Over the years, the quality of domestic products has long been improved. There is really no need to pursue imported cars, and the interiors and configurations of domestic products are quite luxurious. I used to spend 200,000 yuan to buy a domestic car, and people scolded me that there was something wrong with me. Later, when I saw the interior and space of my car, they all wanted to change the car with me.].
[I decided to buy the same model in the video as the first car! Support domestic products, support red flags, red flags fluttering, fluttering in the wind!].
[Some people say that domestic products are all low-end products. Sorry, please search for the price of the Hongqi L5, starting from 6 million! The Chinese version of Rolls-Royce, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. So, don’t think other people are the same as you after being a shepherd dog for a long time. Although I don’t drive Hongqi, I support domestic cars!].
….
The patriotic sentiment of netizens surged, sparking a wave of support for domestically produced cars. After watching the video, many immediately contacted the Sizi Store, either to book a car or schedule a viewing.
At the Hongqi 4S store in West Sea City, what should have been a lunch break turned into a bustling scene. Calls flooded the customer service department, keeping salespeople so occupied that their meals grew cold. Even customers who had initially shown no interest now desired to see the car.
In the office, the manager, hearing the reports, was puzzled. A supervisor badge-wearing staff member reported, “Manager, something’s up. Over 30 customers called within this hour, all wanting to pick up the Hongqi H9 model this afternoon. The issue is, we only have 3 cars in the warehouse. Could it be colleagues causing trouble?”
