After leaving the transportation department, Zhang Yue rushed back to the Guoyue team office and immediately gathered his team members to share the good news.

In the conference room, everyone's faces were filled with excitement and anticipation.

But Zhang Yue knew that this was just the beginning and there was still a lot of work to be done.

"Although the transportation department has approved our test report and agreed to go through the cooperation process, this does not mean that we can relax."

Zhang Yue said with a serious expression, "Next, we will fully cooperate with the transportation department to complete a series of tasks, including vehicle procurement, delivery, and subsequent training."

At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that every 'Smart Driver X1' delivered to the driving school operates stably without any problems.

Chen Yu nodded in agreement: "Mr. Zhang is right. We need to formulate a detailed follow-up plan immediately."

I suggest we first establish a dedicated project team to handle communication and coordination with transportation authorities and driving schools, as well as vehicle delivery and training.

Professor Wang added, "Before the vehicles are delivered, we also need to conduct a final comprehensive inspection and optimization of each vehicle to ensure that the intelligent driving system can work normally under various extreme conditions."

In addition, we can develop a simple and easy-to-understand operation manual and training courses tailored to the usage habits of driving school instructors and test takers.

Zhang Yue listened to everyone's suggestions and nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, let's follow this approach."

Chen Yu, you are responsible for forming the project team and serving as the team leader, coordinating all aspects of the work.

Professor Wang, you led the technical team to do a good job in vehicle inspection and optimization, and at the same time developed operation manuals and training courses.

Other members must also fully cooperate to ensure the smooth progress of this collaboration.

In the days that followed, the members of the Guoyue Racing Team once again threw themselves into their intense work.

Chen Yu led the project team to maintain close communication with the transportation department and driving schools to determine details such as the number of vehicles to be purchased, delivery time and location.

Meanwhile, professional staff were also arranged to conduct on-site inspections of the driving school's facilities and equipment to make full preparations for vehicle delivery and training.

Professor Wang and his technical team conducted meticulous inspections and optimizations on each "Intelligent Traveler X1".

They simulated various extreme road conditions and weather conditions, and repeatedly tested the vehicle's intelligent driving system to ensure that the vehicle could operate safely and stably under all circumstances.

In addition, they have revised and improved the operation manual and training courses multiple times based on feedback from driving school instructors and test takers, striving to make it easy for every user to get started.

With the team's joint efforts, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Finally, the day for vehicle delivery arrived.

In front of the Guoyue vehicle fleet's warehouse, rows of brand-new "Zhixingzhe X1" vehicles are neatly arranged, gleaming with the light of technology.

Zhang Yue and his team arrived at the scene early, waiting for the arrival of representatives from the transportation department and driving school.

A short while later, several cars slowly drove into the warehouse, and Director Wang from the transportation department and the heads of several driving schools got out of the cars.

Zhang Yue quickly stepped forward and warmly shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with them.

"Director Wang, leaders of all driving schools, welcome!"

"Today is the delivery day for our 'Intelligent Traveler X1' vehicles. We hope these vehicles will bring new changes to driving school exams."

Zhang Yue said with a smile.

Director Wang looked at the brand-new vehicle in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. Zhang, you have done an excellent job."

These vehicles do look very advanced, and we're excited to see how they perform in the driving school tests.

Subsequently, led by Zhang Yue, everyone visited the warehouse and conducted a preliminary inspection of the vehicles.

Chen Yu then gave everyone a detailed introduction to the vehicle delivery process and subsequent training arrangements.

"Within three days of vehicle delivery, we will provide comprehensive training to driving school instructors and staff to ensure they are proficient in operating the vehicle and using the intelligent driving system."

"At the same time, we will also arrange for professional technicians to be stationed at the driving school for a period of time to promptly resolve any problems that arise during vehicle use," Chen Yu said earnestly.

After hearing this, the driving school managers expressed their satisfaction: "With your thoughtful service and support, we have even more confidence in using the 'Smart Driver X1'."

After the vehicles were delivered, the Guoyue driving team quickly mobilized and conducted a three-day intensive training program for the driving school's instructors and staff.

During the training, Professor Wang personally delivered the lectures. He combined practical operations and case studies to explain in a simple and easy-to-understand way the principles, operation methods, and safety precautions of the "Intelligent Driving System X1".

The coaches listened with great interest, occasionally raising questions and doubts, which Professor Wang patiently answered one by one.

In the practical training phase, the instructors, under the guidance of the trainers, personally drove the "Smart Driver X1" to conduct simulated training for various driving test items.

They were full of praise for the vehicle's intelligent assistance systems and precise handling performance.

"This 'Smart Driver X1' is really amazing. It can automatically complete tasks such as reversing into a parking space and parallel parking with great precision."

"With this, teaching has become much easier," a driving instructor said excitedly.

Another coach chimed in, "Yes, and its safety features are also very high."

During the journey, it can react promptly to any emergencies, ensuring the safety of the examinees and the vehicle.

This kind of car is perfect for driving school exams.

With the completion of the training, the "Smart Driver X1" was officially put into use at the driving school.

In no time, this technologically advanced smart car became the focus of the driving school, attracting the attention of many candidates and their parents.

Many test takers expressed greater confidence in their driving tests after experiencing the intelligent driving assistance features of the "Smart Driver X1".

"When I was learning to drive, I was most afraid of things like reversing into a parking space and parallel parking, because I could never get the angle and distance right."

Now, with the intelligent assistance of the 'Smart Traveler X1', things feel much easier.

"I'm confident I'll pass the driving test." one candidate said confidently.

Parents of test takers also praised the "Smart Driver X1": "This car not only has high safety performance, but also helps test takers better master driving skills."

The Guoyue Racing Team has truly done a great thing!

With the widespread use of the "Smart Driver X1" in driving schools, its reputation has gradually spread.

More and more driving schools are starting to pay attention to this intelligent car and have contacted the Guoyue Driving Team to express their intention to cooperate.

At the same time, consumers' recognition of the "Smart Traveler X1" has further increased, and its sales have begun to show a steady upward trend.

BMW, on the other hand, had previously gained a certain advantage in the market through price reduction strategies.

However, as the reputation of the "Intelligent X1" spread and sales rebounded, sales of BMW's "BMW i-Drive Pro Plus" began to decline.

BMW's top executives are once again gripped by anxiety.

At yet another high-level meeting, the marketing manager reluctantly reported:

"Leader, the sales of Guoyue Racing Team's 'Zhixingzhe X1' have been rising rapidly recently, which has already impacted our market."

Many consumers who originally planned to buy our car changed their minds because of the 'Smart X1's' application in driving schools and its good reputation.

The head of R&D also frowned and said, "Although our technology has been continuously upgraded, the vehicle-road-cloud integration and intelligent driving system of the Guoyue team does have its unique features."

Moreover, their expansion into the driving school market has intensified our competitive pressure in the field of intelligent driving.

BMW's top executives remained silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly:
"It seems we can't rely solely on price reductions to compete."

We need to re-examine the Guoyue Racing Team's 'Smart X1', learn from their strengths, and at the same time increase investment in technological research and development and innovation to launch more competitive products.

"In addition, we should also pay attention to the emerging field of driving school market."

Although the Guoyue Racing Team currently holds a certain advantage in this field, we also have the opportunity to catch up.

"We can communicate and collaborate with transportation departments and driving schools to understand their needs and develop intelligent vehicles suitable for driving school exams," the leader continued.

Following the meeting, BMW began adjusting its strategic direction, increasing its investment in technology research and development and innovation, while actively engaging in cooperation negotiations with transportation authorities and driving schools.

BMW quickly assembled a special team to contact transportation authorities, attempting to gain a share of the emerging driving school market.

With their carefully prepared plan in hand, the team members confidently went to the transportation department for discussions.

They elaborated on BMW's illustrious achievements in the traditional automotive sector, as well as some initial ideas for the driving school market, in an attempt to impress the transportation authorities.

However, after careful evaluation of BMW's proposal, the transportation authorities found numerous problems with it.

BMW has a deep accumulation of traditional gasoline vehicle technology.

However, there is a clear lack of technological reserves in emerging technologies such as vehicle-road-cloud integration and intelligent driving systems.

The intelligent assisted driving function it proposed performed poorly in actual tests, and was far behind the mature and stable technology of the Guoyue team's "Zhixingzhe X1".

Moreover, BMW's understanding of the specific needs of driving schools is not deep enough, and the vehicle functions and training programs it designs cannot adequately meet the actual needs of driving school teaching.

The head of the transportation department said seriously to the BMW team: "When choosing a partner, we value the maturity of the technology and its suitability for the driving school market."

From our current perspective, BMW has significant room for improvement in these areas and cannot meet our requirements at this time. Therefore, we regret to inform you that we cannot cooperate with you.

The BMW team members returned to the company dejectedly, their seemingly sure-fire collaboration falling through.

But they didn't expect that something even worse was yet to come.

It is unclear whether this was intentional on the part of a competitor or if the news simply spread unnoticed.

The news that BMW was rejected by the transportation authorities due to insufficient technological reserves quickly spread within the industry.

Major media outlets reported on the incident, with eye-catching headlines and a certain degree of sarcasm.

Reports such as "BMW's failure in the driving school market exposes its technical shortcomings" and "BMW's attempt to enter the driving school market was rejected due to insufficient technology" were like bombshells, causing a huge uproar among consumers.

Consumers who had initially high hopes for BMW cars are beginning to waver.

One consumer who was planning to buy a BMW said, "I originally thought BMW was a big brand with guaranteed quality, and I was thinking of supporting it."

But I didn't expect them to be so behind in new technologies like intelligent driving, unable to even secure cooperation with the transportation department. Will I be able to guarantee my safety when driving their cars in the future?

Another consumer chimed in, "Yes, intelligent driving is so important now. The fact that BMW can't even handle the driving school market shows that their technology isn't mature enough."

I'll stick with brands that have a strong track record in intelligent driving.

BMW's sales have been severely impacted by its rapidly declining reputation.

The once bustling 4S store has become deserted, and the sales staff look worried, staring at the empty showroom, not knowing what to do.

Consumers who have already purchased BMWs are also starting to worry about the future use and after-sales service of their vehicles, expressing their concerns and dissatisfaction on various automotive forums.

Zhang Yue was sitting in his office, carefully studying the recent sales data and market feedback of the "Zhixingzhe X1" in various regions, with a gratified smile on his face.

Just then, there was a rapid knock on the office door, and technician Li Fei rushed in, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

"Mr. Zhang, I have something very important to tell you!" Li Fei said breathlessly.

Zhang Yue looked up and, seeing Li Fei's excited expression, couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Don't rush, tell me slowly, what's making you so excited?"

Li Fei took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said:

"Mr. Zhang, as you know, 6G technology is developing very rapidly, and AI is also ushering in unprecedented development opportunities."

Previously, the development of AI was limited mainly due to insufficient computing power. Although algorithms have improved, the improvement has not been significant.

But things are different now; 6G has brought about a qualitative leap in data transmission and processing speeds.

If we can increase computing power by 270 times, the performance of AI will be qualitatively improved!

Zhang Yue frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Increase computing power by two hundred and seventy times?"
This is no easy task. Do you have any specific ideas?

Li Fei's eyes gleamed as he excitedly said, "President Zhang, I want to build a super AI!"

This super AI is no ordinary AI; it can perform calculations on everything.

Whether it's intelligent dispatching in the transportation sector, accurate prediction of vehicle malfunctions, or the development of personalized teaching plans in driving schools, it can handle it all with ease.

With it, our 'Smart Traveler X1' will become smarter, safer, and its market competitiveness will be greatly enhanced!

Zhang Yue listened to Li Fei's description, his heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and asked:
"This idea sounds great, but how much money would be needed to build such a super AI?"

Li Fei hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "President Zhang, based on preliminary estimates, at least 300 billion is needed."

I know this is a large sum of money, but in the long run, this investment is absolutely worthwhile.

Once the super AI is successfully developed, it will bring us enormous commercial value and social benefits, and may even change the landscape of the entire automotive industry!

Zhang Yue stood up and paced back and forth in his office, pondering Li Fei's words.

Three hundred billion is no small amount; it is almost equivalent to most of the company's current working capital. If the investment fails, the company will face huge risks.

However, if we don't seize this opportunity, we might miss a golden chance for the company to achieve leapfrog development.

Seeing Zhang Yue's hesitation, Li Fei felt a little anxious and continued:

"Mr. Zhang, I know what you're worried about."

But think about it, we have made some progress in the field of intelligent driving, but our competitors are constantly catching up.

If we do not continuously innovate and increase investment in technological research and development, we will soon be eliminated by the market.

This super AI is the key to breaking the existing pattern and leading the industry's development!

Zhang Yue stopped and looked at Li Fei, asking seriously, "Li Fei, are you confident that you can successfully develop this super AI?"
After all, this is an unprecedented challenge, and we may encounter many difficulties and setbacks along the way.

Without hesitation, Li Fei replied, "Mr. Zhang, I have confidence!"

I have discussed this with the other technical staff on the team, and everyone is full of enthusiasm and confidence for this project.

We believe that, given sufficient funding and resources, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties and successfully develop a super AI!

Looking into Li Fei's determined eyes, Zhang Yue gradually made a decision.

He walked up to Li Fei, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Li Fei, your idea is very good, I support you!"

I've decided to invest 300 billion to help you build this super AI.

However, you must remember that this project can only succeed; failure is not an option.

You must lead your team to give it your all and ensure the project is completed on time and to a high standard.

Upon hearing Zhang Yue's words, Li Fei was moved to tears. He gripped Zhang Yue's hand tightly and said:
"Mr. Zhang, rest assured! I will definitely live up to your trust and expectations. Our team will do everything in our power to bring this super AI to fruition as soon as possible!"

However, just as Li Fei was about to leave the office to prepare for the project, Zhang Yue's phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and his expression gradually became serious.

"Mr. Zhang, something terrible has happened!"
When many senior executives of the company learned that we were going to invest 300 billion yuan to create a super AI, they strongly opposed it, believing that the investment was too risky and could put the company in trouble.

"They're causing trouble at the company headquarters right now, demanding you cancel this investment plan." The secretary's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zhang Yue frowned, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Li Fei, "Li Fei, don't rush off."

There are some problems within the company; some senior executives oppose the investment plan and are causing trouble at headquarters.

We need to solve this problem first before the project can proceed smoothly.

Upon hearing this, Li Fei's face showed a worried expression, and he said, "President Zhang, what should we do?"
If the higher-ups continue to oppose it, this project may not be able to proceed.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Yue said, "Let's go to headquarters together. I want to have a good talk with them and make them understand the importance and potential value of this project."

The two rushed to the company headquarters, where the conference room was already filled with angry executives.

Upon seeing Zhang Yue enter, a senior executive immediately stood up and loudly proclaimed:
"Mr. Zhang, what are you thinking? Why are you investing 300 billion to create some kind of super AI?"

This is downright jeopardizing the company's future!

Others echoed this sentiment, criticizing Zhang Yue's decision as too risky.

Zhang Yue stood at the front of the conference room and, after everyone had calmed down a bit, said:
"Everyone, I understand your concerns. However, we must see the long-term value of this project."

The automotive industry is currently at a critical juncture of intelligent transformation. If we don't seize this opportunity and increase investment in technological research and development, we will soon be eliminated by the market.

"Once this super AI is successfully developed, it will bring us enormous commercial value."

It can enhance the competitiveness of our products, expand our market share, and generate more profits for us.

Moreover, it can be applied to other fields, opening up new business growth points for the company. "Zhang Yue explained patiently.

However, people did not buy it and continued to oppose the investment.

One of them sneered, "Boss Zhang, you make it sound so easy."

This project is so risky; if it fails, our company will be doomed.

We cannot gamble the company's fate for an uncertain future.

Seeing everyone's resolute attitude, Zhang Yue felt a little anxious.

He knew that if he couldn't convince these people, the project would face unimaginable resistance.

Just then, Li Fei suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, I am the person in charge of this project."

I can assure you that our team has the technical expertise and confidence to complete this project.

"We have conducted detailed planning and evaluation of the project and developed comprehensive risk response measures."

We will do our best to ensure that the project is completed on time and to a high standard.

Furthermore, we will regularly update everyone on the project's progress, keeping you informed of its developments.

Li Fei said sincerely.

After hearing Li Fei's words, a hint of hesitation finally appeared on everyone's faces.

Zhang Yue seized the opportunity to say, "Everyone, I know this investment carries certain risks, but we cannot miss out on development opportunities because we are afraid of risks."

We can sign a performance-based agreement with the project team. If the project fails, I will take corresponding responsibility and provide a satisfactory explanation.

After hearing Zhang Yue's words, everyone began to whisper among themselves.

After a heated discussion, one person stood up and said:

"Zhang Yue, since you are so confident, we will give you a chance."

However, we need to sign a detailed agreement that clearly defines the rights and obligations of both parties.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue was overjoyed and quickly said, "No problem, we can sign the agreement immediately."

I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, this project will definitely be a success. (End of Chapter)
