Of course, Haifeng knew precisely what kind of shockwaves his warranty policy would cause.
And just as expected, the entire auto industry was already pushing back.
To them, this wasn't fair competition.
This was a malicious disruption.
They had spent decades building systems of low-coverage warranties, service center gouging, and planned obsolescence.
And here came Audi—no legacy, no compromise—shattering those rules.
"This isn't playing fair," they grumbled behind closed doors.
"This is warfare."
But Haifeng didn't care.
"Let them whine."
His eyes weren't on the competition.
They were on the consumers.
"We don't exist for the industry's approval.
We exist for the people who buy our cars."
He already knew the turbocharged engine would attract skepticism.
That foreign companies would try to undermine it.
That people would ask:
"Is it reliable?"
"Will it break down early?"
"Can a Chinese engine go the distance?"
That's why he led with the warranty.
Give them peace of mind first. The performance will speak for itself later.
And now?
It was working.
The moment that policy dropped, consumers stopped caring about foreign smears.
They weren't thinking about patent traps or tech conspiracies.
They were thinking:
"If anything breaks, I'm covered."
Haifeng had just pulled the rug from under the industry's biggest defense: fear.
Meanwhile, chaos was already spreading among rival brands.
"How do we slander a product when we can't even beat its policies?"
"We're getting buried in our warranty limitations."
Haifeng had thrown a match into their gas tanks.
Now they had to choose: match him and take massive losses…
Or don't—and look like scammers.
And it wasn't just the policy.
Now, Haifeng moved on to specs.
"Okay," he said, smiling.
"The turbo engine and warranty—we'll end that part here."
"Everything's available on our official site if you're interested in more."
"Now, let me walk you through the full configuration of the Audi A4."
Size & Form
"Length: 4858 mm
Width: 1847 mm
Height: 1439 mm
Wheelbase: 2908 mm"
Spacious. Sleek. Balanced.
"The space allows for greater comfort. Every inch was calculated for maximum passenger experience."
Safety & Driving Assist
"All models come standard with:
Cruise control
Reversing radar
High-performance LED headlights
Smart lighting system with five driving modes."
"Our higher trims include:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
9 airbags for full directional protection
18-inch explosion-proof tires[1]
Boron steel anti-collision beams across all ABC pillars."
At the mention of boron steel[2], the crowd buzzed.
"Boron steel? Is that… real?"
"Did China Star develop that too?"
Then someone shouted from the back:
"I work at Baosteel! Boron steel is the primary material used in airplanes and tanks.
It's over four times harder than standard steel!"
The room broke into shocked murmurs.
"They used that… in a car?"
"That's absurd—in a good way."
"This thing's a luxury tank."
Haifeng smiled.
"You may not know the word 'boron steel,'
but I'm sure you all know what planes and tanks are made of."
"And that's exactly what we've used—in every A4."
And that was just the beginning.
He moved on to seating, materials, trim levels, suspension systems, and interior finish—each element layered with high-end components and design logic.
The audience?
Absorbed.
"It's not just a car—a tech showcase."
"It's like they stuffed a luxury spaceship into a sedan."
"If this is mid-tier, what will their high-end car look like?"
By the end, the auditorium erupted in applause.
Even people watching online clapped in front of their screens instinctively.
One viewer summed it up best:
"After hearing Haifeng speak, I've lost interest in other cars.
They feel… outdated."
