Too mature.
So mature that it doesn't resemble a factory like Coastal that's been out of production and off the market for over a decade, and its designs are outdated. The whole model seems like a completed entity that has gone through numerous testing and iterations of earlier models, accumulating enough experience and technology to be produced again.
It's like at a bathhouse, a sharp-featured, fake-nosed, heavily made-up mature lady snuggles up to your chest and tells you, "Brother, this is my first time out, my family doesn't know."
Who would believe that, seriously!
Especially the engine...
Everyone's hesitating whether to call it 'Uncle' already!
In this day and age, it's still using designs from over ten years ago, like the Coastal's old knockoff minivan model, at best with just a tiny bit of improvement on the original design.
Initially thought to be insignificant, but when the testing department submitted the full-load fuel consumption per hundred kilometers, everyone's expressions involuntarily twitched.
It's as if a thirty-year-old athlete stormed into the world athletic short track finals, then ran, following the starting gun, among a group of teenagers, finishing in the top three.
What the heck is this?
A low-end generic design improved, and the fuel consumption actually matches the latest engine scheme on the market? With this technical capability, you're telling me you're from an old discontinued factory? Then what are we? Little lamb producers?
After repeated testing, everyone's eyes focus on the fuel injector in the engine intake manifold, and their breathing becomes heavy.
It's as if a brilliant stroke on a dull old painting brings astonishing transformation, turning the mundane into magic!
"Just got word, a few hours ago, on the day before the cucumber's launch, someone registered a patent for the improved design of the engine's fuel element atomization at the Black City patent office in Huang Province." The assistant hurriedly reported in a low voice, "The patent holder was previously a tricycle manufacturer acquired by Coastal."
Shang Tongwen's face was ashen, he waved his hand, squeezing out a cold laugh from between his teeth.
By now, even the most dull-witted must have understood.
"What a remarkable ruse."
It seems, from the start, the so-called peanuts and beans, that image and posture focused on tricycle production, were all the smoke screens intentionally released by Coastal.
All the operations and exploration, even the frantic production and sales, were all probing actions for the design and manufacture of the new car.
All the process flow and design issues, even defects, were explored and resolved in previous batches and productions, all set.
Across Hai Province, all the buyers unknowingly worked for Coastal Automobile Factory's free testing for two months...
During these two months, Coastal sold tens of thousands of tricycles at an outrageously low price throughout Hai Zhou City and beyond, even offering almost impossibly non-profitable repair services as if a devoted parent, constantly collecting every tricycle's status to secretly revise the cucumber's design.
Until everything went smoothly, every potential problem area was repaired and enhanced...everything was ready, and overnight, they returned from the obscure tricycle racecourse to the muddy pond of the auto manufacturing industry!
"And there's an even deadlier issue—"
After reviewing all the test reports, the technical director sighed and pointed at the cucumber, "This thing at most is an upgraded version of that lightweight tricycle called peanut."
Which means...
At least another upgraded version of a bean transportation model is waiting for them!
It might just be waiting for the new production line to be ready now!
"I understand."
Shang Tongwen expressionless, just waved his hand, "Tell the marketing and publicity to get moving, don't need me to teach them, right?"
The subordinate nodded vigorously.
Shang Tongwen nodded slightly, turned, and left, but when he reached the door, he looked back at his assistant and said, "Also, tell Yin Chaoyang, that failure, his chances are running out."
Being stared at with eyes carrying a slight chill, the assistant subconsciously shivered and nodded in agreement.
The previous roaming without attacking, the reckless edge-skirting could still be tolerated, not that you can't corner some sideline, but wanting more while eyeing the main seat...
Just be prepared to be targeted to death by everyone!

With a price of forty-one thousand, you're buying a pile of junk even scrap yards disdain to recover...Through the cucumber, Coastal Automobile Factory's designers tell us, the end of mini vehicles is an iron coffin...Behind the flashy facade is a configuration so impoverished...You can fully experience what a tricycle priced at three thousand six hundred is supposed to be...Everyone sees it; the driver's cabin is even leaking air...
On the day of the cucumber's launch, when the promotional video's hype hadn't even cooled, a multitude of reviews and analyses began appearing on various self-media, news websites even video platforms.
Predictably, criticism was overwhelming!
