Only after everyone had expressed their views did Wang An summarize
"The failure rate of this vehicle among the Little Devils is extremely low. Saying it's one in ten thousand might be an exaggeration, but if one out of a thousand motorcycles has a defect, that's already a very high probability."
"Therefore, even if we have to take a pure loss on one motorcycle for every five hundred we sell, it doesn't matter. As long as we build up the reputation of our motorcycles, they will be invincible in the future. No matter what other brands appear, we can maintain the highest market share."
As soon as Wang An finished speaking, Wang Shuai shouted with excitement
"Good, I agree with Xiao An's plan."
He Liang immediately added
"I agree as well."
Following that, the others one after another voiced their agreement.
Wang An said with a smile
"That concludes the second matter. Let's move on to the third."
"In the short term, our market focus will definitely be on our own DJ County, so our promotional methods—meaning the advertising—must keep up. We must make our—"
At this point, Wang An suddenly stopped, scratched his head, and said
"Uh, shouldn't we first give our motorcycle a loud and pleasant name?"
The group, who had been quite focused, were all momentarily stunned by the question Wang An suddenly threw out.
Wang Shuai said thoughtfully
"That's true. The motorcycle is already out, but we haven't named it yet. We do need to decide on a name first."
As Wang Shuai's voice fell, everyone began nodding and sank into deep thought.
Soon, a series of eccentric names began to emerge from their mouths: "Great Roc Motorcycle," "Golden Crow Motorcycle," "Red Hare Motorcycle," "Steed Motorcycle," "Divine Eagle Motorcycle," "Red Dragon Motorcycle," "Azure Dragon Motorcycle," and so on and so forth.
However, as each name was proposed, it was quickly rejected by the others. No one's suggestion was accepted; everyone claimed the names didn't sound good.
Finally, Sun Nian's big eyes flickered, and she suddenly said
"If you ask me, calling it 'Xiao An Motorcycle' would be great. After all, the idea to tinker with motorcycles came from Xiao An, so it would have some commemorative meaning, hehehehe..."
After speaking, Sun Nian started laughing.
Surprisingly, Sun Nian's proposal actually gained everyone's approval.
Zhang Shuya said
"I think 'Xiao An Motorcycle' works too. It's neither flashy nor tacky, and it carries the meaning of peace and safety."
Wu Dong also nodded and smiled
"Yeah, 'Xiao An Motorcycle' sounds quite good."
Wang Shuai followed up with a laugh
"Indeed, it's quite catchy."
Only after everyone had finished did Wang An object
"What is wrong with your taste? 'Xiao An Motorcycle'—how tacky is that name? Besides, if you put my name on the motorcycle, what if someone has an accident while riding it? How bad would that reflect on me? Even if there are no accidents, I wouldn't be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life. No, this name definitely won't work."
He Liang asked with curiosity
"What does it have to do with you if someone has an accident riding a motorcycle? How could that possibly affect you?"
Sun Nian immediately chimed in with a smile
"Exactly. You're not that old, so why are you so fussy? You're pretending to be quite superstitious."
Wang An shook his head, widened his eyes, and said with a face full of reluctance
"Of course it would have an effect! If someone has an accident, people will definitely say, 'See, they had an accident riding a Xiao An motorcycle. What kind of "Xiao An" is this? It's not safe at all!'"
Wang An spoke this last sentence in a sarcastic, mocking tone, and as soon as he finished, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ma Guoqiang, however, asked Wang An with curiosity
"And what do you mean by saying you wouldn't be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life if it's called 'Xiao An Motorcycle'?"
Wang An replied
"I obviously wouldn't be able to hold my head up! What if someone omits the word 'motorcycle' when speaking and tells someone else, 'Come on, I'll take you on my Xiao An'?"
Pausing for a moment, Wang An added
"Especially between a couple. The man says, 'How's my Xiao An? Does riding it feel good?' And then the woman says, 'Yes, riding your Xiao An feels great. Tomorrow I'll buy a Xiao An for my dad to ride too.'"
As soon as Wang An finished, the group likely imagined the scene, and the laughter instantly grew louder. They were doubling over and leaning left and right with laughter.
Only Wang An frowned and said
"Listen to me, could I possibly endure it if people talked like that? I'm not a donkey or a horse; how can you say you're 'riding Xiao An'? Tell me, if a bunch of people say that, how can I hold my head up for the rest of my life? Isn't it embarrassing?"
But what greeted Wang An was even louder laughter from the group; it was clearly visible that some of them were laughing to the point of tears.
Once everyone had laughed their fill, Wu Dong wiped away tears and said
"Alright, Xiao An, you tell us, what should the motorcycle be named?"
Wang An thought for a moment and quickly said
"I say we take two characters from the name of our Heilongjiang Province and call it 'Longjiang Motorcycle'."
"The words 'Longjiang' can show that this motorcycle is produced in Heilongjiang. Furthermore, the totem of our Huaxia is the dragon; as long as it contains the word 'Long' (Dragon), it shows this is a Huaxia motorcycle. Most importantly, doesn't the name sound loud and domineering?"
After speaking, Wang An enthusiastically asked the group
"What do you think of the name I came up with? Doesn't it perfectly fit the aura of our motorcycle?"
After Wang An spoke, the group fell into contemplation.
However, Wu Dong soon said
"Yeah, 'Longjiang' is a good name. It's proper and decent. People will know immediately that it's a motorcycle produced in our Heilongjiang. Besides, our motorcycles certainly can't be limited to the Northeast; they will inevitably expand outward in the future. If you look at the name Longjiang in reverse, it also carries the meaning of a 'Dragon Crossing the River'."
As Wu Dong finished, Wang Shuai suddenly said with great passion
"People say 'only a fierce dragon crosses the river.' Let's see if our 'River-Crossing Dragon' can break through! Hahahaha!"
After Wang Shuai spoke, everyone agreed. From the expressions on their faces, it was obvious that everyone was very satisfied with the name "Longjiang."
And so, the motorcycle brand "Longjiang Motorcycle," which had never existed in Wang An's previous life, was born.
However, except for Wang An, the people in the room remained in a state of great uncertainty regarding how Longjiang Motorcycle would develop in the future.
To put it bluntly, their confidence in the motorcycle was not very strong. (End of Chapter)
