Chapter 365 Good response
When Luo Lixian just started arguing with the white old man, someone had already run into the exhibition hall to report to the leader.

Next to the BYD booth, Fang Hexuan and Uchiyama Hisahiko were receiving several senior representatives from other brands. This kind of mutual visits and tests between different manufacturers is very common at any exhibition.

He did not put on airs. After all, this was BYD's first time attending an auto show. As a new car brand, it should take advantage of every opportunity to learn from its peers.

The booth was not crowded, but there were still queues to see the cars.

Regardless of the actual performance of these five cars, at least in terms of appearance design language, they are really worth learning from other peers.

For the media, the appearance of several distinctive new cars can attract more car fans' interest.

As for the car fans at the scene, they were even more excited. Compared with complex performance parameters, they might be most sensitive to the appearance.

Moreover, witnessing a completely new car brand appear at this year's Paris Motor Show with your own eyes really makes you feel excited.

Just imagine, if a new brand you met at an auto show finally grew into a world-class car company after N years, wouldn’t it be great to have the satisfaction of witnessing miracles happen along the way?

Anyway, as for Fang Hexuan himself, he has overcome many difficulties since he founded BYD three years ago.

Even with sufficient funds and future vision as a foundation, building a car is still a very difficult process.

He spent a lot of time thinking about market access alone, and this was the premise for him to register BYD in Hong Kong instead of the mainland.

Automobile is a super industry for any country, and its entire upstream and downstream industrial chain may affect the livelihoods of millions of people.

Therefore, protecting the domestic automobile industry is a political responsibility that any government must take seriously.

If BYD is registered in the mainland at this time, there is no hope of exporting to major automobile market countries.

But even if registered in the free trade port of Hong Kong, Fang Hexuan still needs to use connections and spend money to open up many channels.

Precisely because he had experienced so many troubles and obstacles, it was impossible for Fang Hexuan not to have any emotional touch when he saw a large group of people surrounding his company's car at the booth, either in surprise, joy or contemplation.

Just as he was feeling emotional, a subordinate came up to him and whispered something.

Hearing this, Fang Hexuan nodded first, then explained to Donatella who was sitting next to him, and then walked out of the exhibition hall with several BYD employees.

The view turns back to the test track outside the exhibition hall.

After the white old man sat in the front passenger seat, he looked left and right, his face full of distrust and nervousness.

Luo Lixian adjusted the seat, stepped on the clutch, accelerator and brake pedals, and then fastened his seat belt.

He looked sideways at the old man on his right with some disdain, and said dissatisfiedly:

"Hey, old man, stop looking and fasten your seat belt. Otherwise, I won't be responsible if you are thrown out of the car."

The white old man didn't even bother to check the interior of the car. He growled angrily:
"Yellow boy, didn't your parents teach you manners?"

Luo Lixian turned the key to start the engine, then stepped on the clutch and shifted to first gear. He raised his voice and sneered amid the not-so-loud noise of the engine:

"Old man, didn't you just say that only we Chinese wear shoes? We are too poor to go to school, so we really don't know what's the use of politeness, especially to racists like you."

The white old man might have been a little angry after being ridiculed again and again, so he turned around and yelled at Luo Lixian:
"Shut up, you damn yellow-skinned boy, drive your car quickly, don't tell me you really can't do it." Luo Lixian didn't argue with him this time. Instead, he focused all his attention, skillfully released the clutch slowly, and after feeling the change in the gearbox, he immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the EVO rushed forward steadily but quickly.

Under the influence of strong acceleration, the old white man was pressed tightly against the back of the seat, and his heart felt pounding.

This damn push on the old man's back almost made him feel unable to breathe.

However, this is just the beginning.

When Fang Hexuan arrived at the scene, he saw an EVO performing various actions in a relatively empty space.

Sometimes it stopped suddenly and swung its tail, sometimes it spun in place, sometimes it made a U-turn, sometimes it drifted in a large circle, and sometimes it weaved back and forth among other slow-moving cars. The most amazing thing was that it also showed off a section of single-sided two-wheel driving.

The entire test track was filled with a lot of smoke at this time, all of which was released after the EVO burned its tires.

Let’s not talk about the situation inside the car for now, just look at the crowd watching, some are dancing excitedly, some are clapping and cheering, and of course there are also some who are blowing whistles like hooligans.

Although the driving stunt performed by Law Lai-hsien is not new, and many people have seen better ones on TV and in movies before, the two-dimensional images are ultimately not as shocking as seeing and hearing them in person, not to mention the atmosphere created by the people around him.

Besides, is there anything more satisfying than witnessing a public slap in the face?

In addition to these onlookers, there were also some real car fans, editors-in-chief of automobile magazines, professional journalists and technicians from major OEMs who were amazed by the sight.

Just from the few minutes of stunt racing, we can see many technical features of this EVO.

In the eyes of these people, perhaps the racing attributes of EVO are not outstanding compared with many professional coupes and luxury sports cars, but for a car with a minimum selling price of only US$3.8, it already has a sufficiently attractive high cost-performance ratio.

Luo Lixian drove the car back to the original location for the visit. He was the first to get out of the car, shook his slightly long hair, and after seeing the big boss, he excitedly trotted around the car.

"Mr. Fang, I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

Fang Hexuan punched the other person in the chest affectionately and said with a smile:

"Good boy, you really earned BYD's respect today."

When Luo Lixian heard the boss's praise, he scratched his head happily and said with a little embarrassment:

"It's just some scrap tires. This is an almost new test drive car."

Fang Hexuan didn't take it seriously at all and even promised the other party some rewards, such as giving him his own EVO upgrade kit for free.

The white old man in the passenger seat also got out of the car at this time, but he looked really embarrassed.

The old man couldn't hold it in any longer. As soon as he got off the car, he vomited towards the crowd with a loud "wow" sound. It was so horrible that he probably vomited out everything he had eaten in the morning.

The people covered in vomit were frightened and quickly stepped back, quickly leaving the white old man a place where he could vomit in peace.

Many of the onlookers who saw his miserable appearance shook their heads and were too lazy to gloat over his misfortune.

After all, the old man was slapped in the face on the spot, and then he defecated in his mouth. In the end, he might have to admit defeat and run naked. It was really a social tragedy that could not be more socially devastating.
