When the senior "rice fan" Yang Zhichao saw the Xiaomi Auto Super Factory rising on a wasteland, he had already made a decision in his heart, and when the Xiaomi car was listed, he would also give it a try.
Yang Zhichao's mobile phone treasures many photos of Xiaomi's car super factory from wasteland to completion and production.
The nearly 100 photos stored in Yang Zhichao's mobile phone not only record the construction process of Xiaomi's car super factory, but also reveal his expectation that Xiaomi cars will not lose to Rebus (Mifen's affectionate name for Xiaomi's founder, chairman and CEO Lei Jun).
Less than 5 kilometers away from the Xiaomi Auto Gigafactory, Yang Zhichao opened an orange electric tide car club. The corner of the hall simulates a wild camping scene, and all kinds of trendy equipment are readily available. Sitting on the camping chair, he told reporters about his journey as a "cultivation" Xiaomi car owner.
In 2017, Yang Zhichao got the new energy vehicle purchase index and purchased Zotye e200, which was the first to taste the benefits and convenience of electric vehicles.
In 2017, Yang Zhichao got the green plate index in Beijing and bought a Zotye E200, but he didn't expect it to be easy to drive and park. After having a child, out of higher requirements for safety and space, he changed his car to a Xpeng P7.
In 2020, Yang Zhichao, who became a father, changed to a Xiaopeng P7.
Before opening the store, Yang Zhichao was an early employee of Xiaomi Group, and successively served as an account manager, sales manager, after-sales manager, and also worked in ecological chain construction, operation, finance and other departments. After Xiaomi built the car, he was responsible for docking with the car factory.
What is still fresh in his memory is that in 2021, Lei Jun announced at Xiaomi's official car manufacturing press conference that "this will be the last time I start a business in my life...... I'm willing to stake all my reputation and fight for Xiaomi cars", he was thrilled to hear.
Yang Zhichao admitted frankly that although he was a "rice fan", he did not want to become a Xiaomi owner at first. However, with the continuous attention to SU7, the technology, styling, quality, and price of this car gradually became clear, and he went for a test drive for the first time. It was that test drive that strengthened his determination to be a Xiaomi car owner.
"The car machine is rich in functions, sensitive feedback, strong seat support, fast acceleration of the vehicle, and easy ......to use assisted driving," Yang Zhichao said the many advantages of SU7 in one breath, and finally concluded, "If I want to score it, I can score 90 points." The other 10 points that need to be strengthened are the rights and interests of car owners. If benefits such as battery warranties and free charging were richer and more affordable, my score would be higher. ”
The first thing you do after becoming a Xiaomi SU7 owner is to change the "Gulf Oil" livery and enjoy the fun of turning heads.
On March 28, the day of the launch of Xiaomi SU7, Yang Zhichao decisively placed an order, and he liked to mention his car in less than two weeks. Before picking up the car, he planned to make his SU7 unique, and confirmed the plan with the color change film manufacturer in advance. Yang Zhichao proudly said that the "Gulf Oil" he chose is one of the three classic liveries in the world and is very popular with racing fans. At that time, the SU7 wearing this livery style was the only one in the country, and the return rate on the road was particularly high, and there were often riders who asked about the modification experience.
After leaving Xiaomi Group, Yang Zhichao opened an orange electric tide car club to learn from like-minded car enthusiasts.
After owning the SU7, Yang Zhichao met a lot of like-minded friends in the Xiaomi Car Club, and everyone got together to exchange experiences in using cars and changing cars, which added a lot of color to life and opened the second spring of his career. In his opinion, Xiaomi SU7 leaves a lot of electronic device interfaces, and there is great potential for modification that can be tapped, such as installing voice-controlled canopy sunshades, luggage racks that can be placed on snowboards or bicycles, etc., to expand practicality and increase playability.
