Chapter 472 Smart Car
It was just dawn and there was no one else on the street except the hard-working sanitation workers sweeping the floor.
However, in a busy neighborhood in Shenzhen, many people were waiting in line in front of a beautifully decorated store.
This is a 4S store of Daming Motors. After a few months, it is once again crowded with people.
Because today is the day when new cars with self-driving functions are launched, these people have come to line up to draw their numbers.
In fact, there is no first-come, first-served distinction for registration in the lottery. It can be processed within a total of three days, and there is no saying that the person who registers first has a greater chance of winning.
The key point is that Daming Motors has simultaneously launched a very conscientious policy - paid modification service for old customers.
In other words, anyone who has purchased a "Ming" brand car before can pay a certain fee and have the car officially upgraded by Daming Motors to add authentic self-driving functions.
Although you have to pay again, the automatic driving function of intelligent voice recognition is really cool!
I’ve seen the promotional video, and some people have been lucky enough to experience it for themselves, so what’s the point of spending a little money?
In fact, many times Chinese people are not short of money, but of reliable domestic products.
Produced by Daming, it must be a high-quality product!
I don’t know since when everyone has recognized this “truth”.
As long as it's a product of the Daming Group, it's a no-brainer to snap up.
If you grab it, you’ll earn it!
Once you grab it, you can easily change hands and get a huge price difference. If you can't grab it, you won't lose anything.
So at the beginning, almost all the scalpers on the Internet were staring at the new product release information of several of the most profitable subsidiaries of the Daming Group. Once a new product was launched, they all queued up to register their personal information.
Not only scalpers from this city, but also scalpers from within the province and even from neighboring provinces also came over to join in the fun. After all, Daming Group didn’t say that only locals could buy it, right?
While waiting for the lottery, many scalpers indeed won the lottery, resold it and then showed it off in their inner circle, making others envious.
But their good days did not last long.
Gradually, someone discovered a pattern. Anyone who wins the lottery and sells it immediately, no matter how many times he participates in the lottery again, no matter whether it is the same product or the same company's product, as long as it is a subsidiary of the Daming Group,
They never won the lottery again!
This is of course the credit of Pi Dan, who secretly paid attention to the customers who had purchased the company's products. One by one, these scalpers were all included in the blacklist of the Daming Group.
In Zhao Ming's original words - important instructions at an internal meeting:
Since you don't need it, leave the opportunity to those who really need it to show fairness.
What, you said this new product is what you really need?
Sorry, because you have a criminal record, please prove that you are truly in need first.
How to prove it, you ask?
It's very simple. Just buy one and use it. You must use it every day, all the time, and everywhere.
You said you can't buy it? Sorry, that's your problem, not mine.
Of course, this information will not be disclosed to the outside world. It is fine for the company's senior leaders to know.
They can't even see this blacklist, because it is controlled by Pi Dan and is not on the company server.
Wow——
The rolling shutter door of the store was opened because there were too many people queuing up, so the Daming Automobile 4S store opened the door early in a very humane manner.
People at the door enter in order according to the queue, and no one dares to crowd indiscriminately.
It's very simple. The people in the front are all local scalpers. They have seen in the internal communication group what happened to the people who crowded in the past.
It was not long after Daming Motors' first electric SUV was launched. The second or third batch of new cars arrived, and a lot of people came to register.
Originally, everyone was queuing consciously, but a few people came from behind. When they saw how long the queue was in front, they got crazy and ran to stand near the door.
Before the doors opened, a security guard used a loudspeaker to inform everyone that everyone should queue up consciously. Anyone who jumps in line and disturbs order will be banned from entering for a month.
However, this group of people do not believe in evil, so they just want to take advantage of the large number of people to fish in troubled waters.
Under their guidance, some people who were queuing at the back changed their minds and ran to the front.
As soon as the door opened, people rushed in, and the two security guards at the door couldn't stop them.
There is a row of long tables in the hall, with a computer on each table, and a beautiful girl wearing a uniform with a work badge sitting behind her to provide services.
As expected, this group of people got to the front and waited happily for the beautiful customer service girl to handle business for them.
Unexpectedly, the girl behind the long table said politely: "I'm sorry, sir, the system shows that you have been banned from handling business for one month because you did not comply with the queuing order. Please come back in a month. Thank you for your cooperation."
"What?" The man was stunned, "This is impossible."
"Sorry, our company has installed a camera in the lobby with face recognition function. You were captured by the camera when you entered the door just now."
The girl was also very considerate in bringing up the scene captured in the video and turning the monitor sideways to show him.
It can be clearly seen from the surveillance screen that as soon as the door opened, several people squeezed in from both sides of the queue. The faces of these people were all accurately recognized by the system and red boxes were added.
Solid evidence!
This man couldn't keep it on his face. He felt that the people around him were looking at him with disdain, so he stood up and walked out of the door in a hurry.
Several people sitting at the tables nearby also stood up and walked out.
They knew what they were doing, and they also jumped in line, so they shouldn't wait until others bring evidence to drive them away.
After these people return, they will publicize it in the internal communication group, and everyone will share it. Soon everyone in the circle will know that when going to the Daming Group's territory, you must not jump in line. You don't know how many cameras there are.
Staring at you!
So this time, everyone at the door, whether they were scalpers or real customers, lined up consciously and behaved like elementary school students.
"Sir, Wang Fen of Ming Dynasty, I am happy to serve you. How can I help you?"
At a service counter, the customer service girl smiled and said to a male customer wearing glasses.
"I'm here to install intelligent voice and autonomous driving functions."
"Okay, if you purchase both upgrades at the same time, you can enjoy a 20% discount. In addition, we also have a battery upgrade service, which is mainly to improve battery life. It was just launched yesterday. Sir, would you like to consider it?"
The man thought. He often runs long distances. Although the current battery life of the car is sufficient, he must go to a 4S shop to replace two fully charged batteries before every long trip.
Although it is quick to change the battery, it still has to come here. It would be better if it can be more convenient.
So he asked with interest: "What exactly is the battery upgrade?"
"It's like this, sir, our company has launched a new battery. After this battery is used up, customers can open the cover on the battery and add energy fluid inside."
In fact, this kind of battery is the previous military version. Because more and more people own "Ming" brand electric vehicles, 4S stores can hardly accommodate them, so they switch to this more trouble-free way to supply energy to customers.
Anyway, energy liquid is not a flammable or explosive liquid, nor does it have toxicity or irritating smell. There is no safety risk when customers store it by themselves.
"In other words, if I replace this kind of battery, I can put a big bucket of this energy liquid in the trunk and add liquid to the battery at any time just like I used to refuel the gas tank?"
"Yes, sir."
"Then I want to upgrade."
"Okay." Wang Fen also added this upgrade service to the order. "The three upgrades cost a total of 12,000 yuan. Once the car arrives, the upgrade can be completed within 24 hours."
"24 hours, so fast!"
Chapter completed!
