I can see the commodity price curve

George laughed out loud when he heard this: "We are friendly people, okay? You just misunderstood us too much."

An engineer nearby also laughed and said, "That's right, Boss Zhang, to be honest, I'm very familiar with your name.

If the gap between us wasn't so huge, I would have visited you a long time ago."

“As for Temala’s former sales director in China, he was an old employee of Temala.

Maybe you don’t know the history of Temara. As the world’s number one new energy vehicle company, we have only been in this position for less than two years.

Before that, Temara was a small car company. It was not until it was acquired by Mr. Ma and vigorously reformed that it gradually became prosperous. "

“The sales director was actually kicked here by Boss Ma from the headquarters.

This person originally had some abilities, and Boss Ma thought that even if he couldn't achieve great results in China, he should have no problem maintaining the status quo.

I didn't expect him to cause such a big mess. Boss Ma naturally wouldn't be polite to him anymore and fired him directly."

Zhang Yue suddenly realized.

But the next moment, he was confused again.

The reason why he acquired the Sanyang Automobile Factory was to manufacture new energy vehicles, and then to compete with Temara to avenge himself for being cheated.

But now the culprit is dead, and the only ones left in Temara are more pragmatic people like George, so how can he take action?

Seeing him hesitate, George immediately smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, in fact, doing business doesn't necessarily have to be a life-and-death struggle. We can sit together and cooperate.

Besides, our boss has always highly praised you. If he knew that you came to Temara, he would be very happy.

It's a pity that he has more important things to do in the United States and can't come, otherwise you two would definitely get along very well."

Zhang Yue quickly shook his head: "Mr. George, you are praising me too much.

Yes, I have made some achievements, but only in China.

Your boss Ma is different, he is drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman and holds the power of the world. He is my idol."

Everyone praised each other a little.

George then said, “Boss Zhang, come in and sit down.

We at Temala have recently developed a new product and are looking for your advice.”

After saying this, he waved his hand and a car drove over immediately.

The moment he saw the car, Zhang Yue immediately became nervous: "Is this your car?"

It's not his fault that he was surprised, because the car actually had four wings, or four propellers.

The only difference is that these four propellers are relatively small and are scattered at the four corners of the car.

Well, this is a relatively large drone, but it is completely different from a drone.

The propellers of drones account for a very large proportion, and are not primarily load-bearing.

However, the design of this car is such that the propeller accounts for a very small proportion, and the main part is the body.

Or perhaps its four propellers are more like a slightly larger decoration.

He asked George, "Can your car fly?"

George smiled and nodded: “Yes, this is our newly developed new energy vehicle.

It can indeed fly, why don’t we try it?”

Zhang Yue quickly shook his head: "Why not just forget it? To be honest, I'm a little afraid of heights."

Of course, fear of heights is just an excuse for him. The reason why he doesn't want to experience this flying new energy vehicle is very simple.

If a car runs on the ground, no matter how it goes, the safety of the passengers in the car can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

But flying is different. Once the car flies to a height of one hundred meters and something happens to fall down, there would be no one to help.

Besides, if you really want to experience flying, you can take a plane. If that doesn't work, you can buy a helicopter. There is no need to seek death on purpose.

Mr. George seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He laughed and said, "Boss Zhang, don't worry about that. This car can't actually fly high."

Zhang Yue asked in confusion: "If it can't fly high, how high can it fly?"

George said: “It can fly up to fifteen meters.

Of course, this is an extreme state. If it flies normally, it will generally not exceed two meters from the ground."

Zhang Yue thought for a moment and said, "What's the difference between this and running directly on the ground?"

George said: “The difference is actually not that big.

When we designed this car, we took flying functionality into consideration.

But this is mainly for auxiliary purposes, and its real use is mainly on the road."

An engineer nearby also said: "The main reason I need to use flight mode is when I encounter a traffic jam.

If you are in a hurry and there is a traffic jam of two kilometers ahead, you can control this car and fly directly.

Then it flew over the two kilometers, landed on the ground and continued to drive forward.”

After that, he continued: “In fact, although we at Temara have already done research on the design of flying cars, other car brands have also done so.

The reason why no one has promoted it is, first, the technology is not yet mature enough, and second, and most importantly, the fact that cars can fly is more of a gimmick.

After all, if you want to experience flying, you can take a helicopter, and rich people also have their own private planes.

So, in summary, flying cars seem to be a bit useless.”

"It wasn't until one of our R&D engineers was stuck in traffic for eight hours that he suddenly had an inspiration.

So we designed a car that can fly, but only for a short time.

Even if it is fully charged, the longest flight distance is only five kilometers. You should know that with the same amount of power, it can run a thousand kilometers on the road. "

Zhang Yue suddenly realized it, and he smiled and said, "In that case, I'll sit on it and experience it for myself."

George nodded, he sat in the driver's seat, let Zhang Yue sit in the passenger seat, and then started the car.

At first, George did not fly directly, but drove back and forth on the dedicated runway inside the Temara company.

At the same time, he introduced to Zhang Yue the various performance features of the car and some of the innovations it had made while running.

Zhang Yue nodded as he listened. He had to say that Temara was indeed the world's number one new energy vehicle brand.

Our Sanyang new energy vehicle has achieved the pinnacle of innovation, but compared with others, there are still many shortcomings.

Finally, George smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, pay attention, I'm going to start flying now."

Zhang Yue immediately reminded: "It's fine to fly, but the flight altitude cannot exceed two meters."

George nodded: "Don't worry, I'm afraid just like you are."

Then he pulled the lifting lever, and the four propellers of the Tamara started to spin instantly, with the speed getting faster and faster.

After a while, Zhang Yue felt that he and the car were slowly leaving the ground.

The two men rose higher and higher, and finally reached above the heads of the engineers who were watching nearby.

Seeing this, George pulled the lifting rod again, and the car hovered in the air. Then he pushed forward, and the car began to move forward slowly.

Zhang Yue was sitting in the passenger seat. He was surprised to find that although the car was flying at a high altitude, it was flying very steadily.

And you can't hear the sound of the propeller rotating when you are sitting in the car.

Zhang Yue had ridden in a helicopter before, and he even had four helicopters in Africa that he could use for combat. Those helicopters made a lot of noise when they were in operation, and you had to wear headphones to block out the noise when you were inside.

Otherwise, it won’t be long before your brain starts to feel buzzing.

This Tamara does not make any noise. From a technical point of view, it has completely surpassed the helicopter owned by Zhang Yue.

He immediately asked the question in his mind.

George smiled slightly: "Boss Zhang is indeed very observant. That's right, the biggest innovation of our car is the propeller noise reduction technology.

When these four propellers rotate, not only can you not hear the sound when you are sitting in the car, but you can hardly hear the sound even when you are outside.

If you don’t believe me, you can open the car window.”

Zhang Yue did as he was told immediately, and as the window opened, wind blew in.

Zhang Yue was not surprised by this. In order for a car to leave the ground, the speed of the four propellers could not be too low.

A high speed drives the airflow to rotate, so it is normal for you to feel the wind.

I don’t know if it’s due to the design or other factors, but although I felt the wind was strong, it was still within my tolerable range.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yue asked again: "How fast can this car fly?"

George said, "It's about the same as an electric car."

Zhang Yue was stunned. It was about the same as an electric car, so the maximum speed was 50 kilometers per hour?

“Isn’t this a bit slow?”

George said: “When we first designed it, the biggest technical difficulty was controlling its flying speed.

We could easily make it go 100 kilometers per hour or even faster, but then the car would be meaningless.”

Zhang Yue also reacted quickly, he gave George a thumbs up and said: "You are right, the biggest problem for vehicles flying in the air is safety.

Whether it's a bird in the sky or something else, if it's going too fast, it can easily hit it.

Especially after this type of special-purpose vehicle is fully promoted in the future, once everyone encounters a traffic jam, they will all fly into the air.

Then everyone accelerates at the same time, reaching a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. As long as two cars collide, the scene can be used to shoot a super blockbuster movie. "

George took Zhang Yue around in the air for a while, and finally slowly stopped on the ground. He asked, "How do you feel?"

Zhang Yue nodded: "Very good."

What he said was the truth.

Zhang Yue originally thought that the ride in the car would be very bumpy, like riding a roller coaster.

It turned out that I was completely wrong. When this kind of Tamara flies, it is even more stable than walking on the ground.

In addition, the speed is deliberately suppressed, so even a novice can still control it with ease.

He asked George, “How much do you plan to sell this car for when it comes on the market?”

George said calmly: “About 600,000!
We will see the market feedback at that time. If the sales are good, we can lower the price. If the sales are not good, we can only raise the price to improve the profit margin.”

Zhang Yue was surprised again: "Six hundred thousand, so cheap?"

In his opinion, if a car is equipped with four propellers, its price will definitely increase significantly.

A Ferrari dares to sell a car for three million. Such a cool car should cost at least five million, which is definitely more expensive than a helicopter.

But I never expected that it would only be sold for 600,000.

Zhang Yue can already imagine what consumers’ expressions will be when they hear about such a car.

As long as the transportation department allows flying, it will definitely be a big hit.

"Then can I buy one and drive it for fun first?"

Everyone has a dream of flying, and Zhang Yue is no exception.

But whether it is an airplane or a helicopter, you need a pilot's license to fly it.

Not to mention whether it is easy to obtain this certificate, the difficulty of driving alone is enough to discourage Zhang Yue.

Coupled with the not-so-good driving experience, Zhang Yue always felt that he could just drive the car on the ground.

But now his mind has changed. The ultimate driving experience, the extremely safe driving speed, is there anything more fun than this?
Although this type of car cannot be driven on the road normally now, you can treat it as a toy and fly it in a deserted place.

However, George shook his head: "I'm sorry, Boss Zhang. This car can't be sold for the time being."

Zhang Yue said: "Why? Is it because of confidentiality?

Don't worry, I'm just playing around, and from my personal perspective, I have no plans to enter this kind of flying track in the short term."

Unexpectedly, George shook his head and said, “Boss Zhang is wrong.

I'm not selling it to you because this car needs further optimization.

Of course, you can drive away if you like, but I suggest you wait for a while."

Zhang Yue was puzzled: "Optimize, how to optimize?"

George smiled and said, "Of course I will cooperate with you."

"Cooperate with me?"

“Yes, I have just told you that although this Temara can fly into the sky, it has a very fatal problem, that is, once it takes off, it will consume a lot of electricity.

The car can indeed fly, but how and when to land it is a test of the driver's personal ability.

What if there is a traffic jam on the highway? Then the car will fly up and keep flying forward.

Then the battery ran out while it was flying, and there was still a traffic jam ahead. What would you do with it?"

“So our designers want to optimize its battery usage, and the one who does the best job in this regard is you, Boss Zhang.

The mobile phone I am using now is your Wuji mobile phone. With the same battery, other mobile phones will run out of power in one day, but your phone can last at least seven days.

Such high efficiency is simply amazing.”

“So when our new car was designed, the first thing I thought of was your phone.

If you can use your technology and batteries to help us optimize and upgrade this car, its performance will definitely be taken to a higher level.”

After listening to him, Zhang Yue immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Is that so, no problem.

I will communicate with the people at Wuji Mobile Phone Factory right now and ask them to cooperate with you."

George was stunned, his face flushed with excitement: "Really? You are so kind, thank you Boss Zhang, thank you very much!"

This time he went to see Zhang Yue in a hurry, invited him to dinner and drank with him, and his purpose was exactly this.

He thought Zhang Yue would not agree easily, but he didn't expect the other party to be so happy.

Zhang Yue smiled and said, “Mr. George, you’re welcome.

You and I are friends. If you ask me for help, it is my duty to help you.

What’s more, I am looking forward to this car and want to know how far it can be optimized.”

He did what he said and immediately contacted people from Wuji Mobile Phone Factory.

When they learned about the situation, they immediately sent a team of engineers over. (End of this chapter)
