Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2819: The Game Between the New and the Old

Ye Feng has now become a hot figure in the U.S. capital circle. It is said that only Chinese talents care about connections, but that is nonsense.

In fact, it is the same in every country, especially for those at the top. They pay more attention to personal connections.

In fact, this is not quite accurate. It can be said that at their level, people pay more attention to being kind to others and mutual benefit.

Of course, the capital circle has always been a cannibalistic place, and that is the time to kick the downed dog. If it doesn't come to a life-and-death situation, everyone still likes to sit down and talk about things.

Now that Ye Feng is in the limelight, the big guys naturally want to make friends with him, so he has to attend banquets every day. Although it is annoying, he has to deal with it.

But at the same time, Ye Feng's new energy industry naturally also took away some people's cake, especially those old energy companies, such as Mobil, and some traditional car companies.

There is no room for human nature between enemies. A war without the smoke of gunpowder has begun.

Ye Feng had just escaped from a banquet. He rubbed his aching temple and got into the car.

The driver started the car and drove steadily to his residence. He knew very well that those old energy companies and traditional car companies would never sit idly by and watch his new energy industry rise.

Sure enough, a few days later, Ye Feng received news that Mobil, together with several traditional car companies, began to block his new energy company in the market.

They used the resources and channels they had accumulated in the industry over the years to lower the prices of new energy vehicle parts and components, attempting to strangle Yefeng Company from the supply chain.

At the same time, they also created public opinion and released some negative reports on the safety and stability of new energy vehicles in an attempt to influence consumers' purchasing decisions.

Ye Feng sat in the conference room with a stern expression, listening to his subordinates report on the current situation.

"They are trying to drive us into a corner," said one executive angrily.

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment and then spoke:
"They think they can defeat us like this? How naive. Inform the R&D department to speed up the development of new batteries. We want to completely crush them in terms of technology. Also, the marketing department should make a strong response to the negative reports they released, and use data and facts to speak for themselves."

At this time, the Warrior Group's partner called and expressed its willingness to provide support in this game.

"Mr. Ye, we believe that your new energy industry is the trend of the future, and we must not let those conservative companies succeed. We will give you the greatest help in terms of funds and technology."

A firm voice came from the other end of the phone.

Ye Feng felt warm in his heart, thanked him and hung up the phone. There was also news from Mr. Ni that they had developed a new intelligent driving system using their own advantages in the field of science and technology, and were ready to cooperate deeply with Ye Feng's new energy vehicles to enhance the competitiveness of their products.

Ye Feng quickly formulated a counterattack strategy. On the one hand, he increased investment in research and development and continuously launched new technologies and products to meet market demand.

On the other hand, he actively expanded overseas markets to reduce dependence on the domestic market. At the same time, he also joined forces with some other emerging new energy companies to fight against the suppression of old companies such as Mobil.

Seeing that Ye Feng was not intimidated by their methods and instead launched a counterattack, Mobil and other companies came up with a new trick.

They put pressure on government departments, attempting to restrict Ye Feng's company by formulating policies that are not conducive to the development of the new energy industry.

When Ye Feng heard the news, he did not flinch at all. He personally visited government officials, explained to them the importance of the new energy industry to the country's future development, and demonstrated his company's contributions to environmental protection and employment.

At the same time, he also mobilized experts and scholars in the industry to publish articles and speeches in the media, calling on the government to support the development of the new energy industry.

In this fierce game, Ye Feng always remained calm and firm.

He knew very well that this war not only concerned his personal fate and the fate of his company, but also the future of the new energy industry.

He believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to defeat those conservative forces and usher in a new energy era.

As the game between the two sides continues to escalate, the entire industry is involved, and a battle that will determine the future energy landscape is intensifying...

Just as Ye Feng was actively lobbying government departments, companies such as Mobil resorted to shady tactics.

They secretly instructed some hackers to attack Ye Feng's network system, trying to steal core technical information and destroy the company's online sales platform.

For a time, Ye Feng’s official website was paralyzed, customer data was at risk of leakage, and many partners also sent inquiry emails.

After receiving the urgent report from the technical department, Ye Feng immediately activated the emergency plan. He contacted the team in Warrior Company that specializes in network security, and these elite hackers quickly formed a special team to carry out comprehensive protection and repair of the company's system.

Kevin, the head of the special team, spoke seriously on the phone:
"Mr. Ye, the other party is coming with great force and their attack methods are very professional. However, we have tracked down some of the IP addresses. There is a high probability that they are coming from the computer room of the IT company that Meifu cooperates with."

At the same time, the Warrior Group also lent a hand and provided the most advanced encryption equipment and anti-tracking technology.

With the joint efforts of multiple technical forces, Ye Feng's system gradually returned to normal, and the special team followed the clues and collected complete evidence of Mobil's hiring hackers to attack.

Ye Feng decided to take the initiative and held a grand press conference.

At the press conference, the full record of the hacker attack and related evidence were played on the big screen. Facing the numerous media cameras, Ye Feng spoke sharply:
"Some established companies have resorted to illegal means to protect their own interests. This behavior has not only damaged the rights and interests of our company, but also undermined the fair competition environment of the entire market. We have handed over the evidence to the judicial authorities and believe that the law will give us a fair judgment."

Companies such as Mobil were caught off guard and their stock prices began to fluctuate.

But they were not willing to accept failure, and turned to the capital market, joining forces with financial institutions to sell a large number of Ye Feng Company's shares, attempting to cause market panic and cause the stock price to plummet.

Ye Feng was prepared. He asked the Warrior Group and its sister company to reach an agreement, in which the two companies jointly increased their holdings of the company's stocks to stabilize the stock price.

At the same time, Ye Feng also invited several friends from the Chinese capital circle to inject funds at a critical moment to deal a heavy blow to companies such as Mobil.

In this competition in the capital market, Ye Feng demonstrated amazing courage and strategy.

While stabilizing stock prices, he also used legal means to sue Mobil and other companies for unfair competition.

At this time, the new battery developed by Wang Lina also made a major breakthrough. The range of the battery has been nearly doubled compared to similar products on the market, and the cost has been greatly reduced.

As soon as the news was announced, it immediately caused a sensation in the market.

Many consumers who were originally on the sidelines have placed orders to purchase Yefeng's new energy vehicles, and some international car companies have also approached Yefeng, hoping to cooperate with it.

The containment strategies of companies such as Mobil gradually became ineffective, and they fell into a passive defensive situation.

Ye Feng led the Warrior Group and its sister companies step by step towards victory in this war without the smoke of gunpowder, and continued to move towards the goal of reshaping the global energy landscape.

As Yefeng's counterattack in the market became more and more fierce, Mobil and other companies became increasingly anxious. Mobil's top management urgently held a secret meeting to discuss the next countermeasures. The atmosphere in their meeting room was solemn and smoke-filled.

The CEO of Mobil took a long puff on his cigar and said viciously:
"We can't let Ye Feng succeed. If his new energy industry really develops, our market share will be severely squeezed. We must think of a way to completely bring him down!"

Soon, Mobil joined forces with several other established energy companies to form an organization called the "Traditional Energy Alliance" to develop a suppression plan specifically targeting Ye Feng's new energy industry.

They lobbied government departments through various channels, attempting to revise the new energy industry subsidy policy and reduce subsidies for new energy vehicles, thereby weakening the price advantage of Yefeng's products.

After learning the news, Ye Feng actively organized industry associations and joined forces with other new energy companies to speak out to the government on the importance of maintaining new energy subsidy policies in promoting energy transformation and reducing carbon emissions.

On the other hand, he asked the market research company under the Warrior Group to collect data, analyze the positive impact of the new energy industry on local economic growth and job creation, and form a detailed report to submit to government departments.

While Ye Feng was working hard to gain policy support, Junken Electromechanical provided key support at the technical level.

After working day and night, Mr. Ni's scientific research team developed a new battery recycling technology that not only greatly reduces the cost of battery recycling, but also realizes the efficient reuse of resources.

This technological breakthrough has given Yefeng an advantage in environmental protection throughout the entire life cycle of new energy vehicles and further enhanced its brand image.

Seeing that policy suppression failed, companies such as Mobil turned their attention to the international market.

They used their influence in the international energy market to reach a tacit agreement with energy companies in some countries to restrict the export of Yefeng's new energy products.

In some countries, Warrior Group's products have encountered trade barriers such as high tariffs and strict technical standards reviews.

Faced with obstacles in the international market, Ye Feng did not back down. He personally led his team to various countries and conducted in-depth communications with local governments and enterprises.

During the negotiations with a European country, Ye Feng gave a detailed introduction to the company's new energy technologies and product advantages, as well as its positive impact on optimizing the local energy structure and improving the environment.

At the same time, he also proposed a plan to cooperate with local companies to build factories, which can not only circumvent trade barriers but also promote local economic development and employment.

After arduous negotiations, Ye Feng finally reached a cooperation intention with a large enterprise in the country.

This cooperation case has produced a demonstration effect in the international market, and other countries have also opened their doors to Yefeng's new energy products.

A series of suppression measures by companies such as Mobil failed one after another, and differences began to emerge within them.

Some shareholders expressed dissatisfaction with the company's aggressive strategy, believing that it not only failed to achieve its goals but also damaged the company's reputation and stock price.

Ye Feng, with his firm belief, outstanding wisdom and close teamwork, gradually seized the initiative in this fierce game and made steady progress towards the goal of building a global giant in the new energy industry.

Every breakthrough brought him one step closer to his dream of reshaping the global energy landscape, and the entire energy industry also began a profound transformation because of this game...

Just as Ye Feng was gradually taking control of the situation, Mobil secretly teamed up with international rating agencies to suddenly downgrade the credit rating of Warrior Group and its affiliated companies.

The rating report was full of pessimistic views on the prospects of the new energy industry, claiming that Ye Feng's expansion strategy posed "huge cash flow risks." The report instantly caused a stir in the financial market.

Several cooperative banks called and requested to review the loan agreements in advance, and capital that was originally intended to invest in new energy projects also held back and waited.

Ye Feng stared at the rating report on his desk, tapping the table lightly with his fingertips.

The urgent meeting notices sent by his secretary piled up on his desk, but he suddenly picked up the phone and called Wang Lina:

"Auntie Na, it's time to show your cards."

Three hours later, a cross-border video conference was held on an encrypted channel.

On the screen behind Ye Feng, the core executives of Warrior Group and Brother Companies were on high alert, while on the other side was a team of top financial experts from China.

Ye Feng called up the data model: "Mobil wants to strangle us from the financial chain, but they forgot——"

He clicked the mouse, and a set of astonishing data popped up on the screen. "The solid-state battery mass production line we jointly developed has been completed by 70%. Once it goes into production, the cost will drop by 45%. This is our real credit endorsement."

The next morning, Ye Feng appeared at the New York Stock Exchange. On the giant screen behind him, a test video of a new solid-state battery running stably in an extremely cold environment of minus 30 degrees was played.

“Credit ratings can be manipulated, but technology doesn’t lie.”

Ye Feng held up the battery sample in his hand to the global media:
"Warrior Group will join hands with its sister companies to open up solid-state battery patent licensing and share technological achievements with global automakers."

This move completely disrupted Mobil's layout. Traditional car companies that originally sided with Mobil sent representatives to contact Ye Feng.

The CEO of a century-old German car company privately told the media:

"Ye Feng has torn open the technological monopoly. We have no reason to reject cheaper and safer batteries."

Mobil's stock price fell 12%, while Warrior's stock price soared 37% in three days.

However, the crisis was not resolved. Mobil suddenly announced the acquisition of a South American company that holds key lithium mineral resources, attempting to cut off Ye Feng's raw material supply chain.

Ye Feng was well prepared. The deep-sea mining project he and his brother company invested in surfaced.

Unmanned submarines are mining manganese nodules on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The lithium, cobalt and other elements contained in this ore are enough to support large-scale battery production.

At the Capitol in Washington, Ye Feng attended the hearing as a representative of the new energy industry.

When asked by a congressman whether it threatens traditional energy jobs, he pulled up a holographic projection:

"In the past three years, our industry has created 120 million new jobs, including battery recycling engineers, smart grid technicians..."

He glanced at the Mobil lobbyists below the stage and said, "What really hinders progress is not technological iteration, but the mindset that refuses to change."

When Ye Feng walked out of the Capitol, his phone vibrated with a new message:
Mobil announced the termination of the "Traditional Energy Alliance" and instead sought to establish a partnership with the Warrior Group.

Under the setting sun, Ye Feng looked at the Manhattan skyline, his mouth slightly raised - this war between capital and technology may be far from over, but the era of new energy has arrived. (End of this chapter)
