The black technology empire started with a debt of one billion

"The graphene sodium-ion battery still has opportunities for second creation. In my opinion, it still has many areas for improvement." Cao Mang said after picking up the teapot and pouring tea for the two of them.

"Mr. Cao, what are you going to do with the graphene lithium battery?" Wang Chuanfu asked after picking up the tea cup and taking a sip.

"I will let the public know in the next few days. I want to sell this patent. Please keep this matter secret." Cao Mang said.

After hearing that Cao Mang was going to sell the graphene lithium battery patent, the two knew that Cao Mang was going to cheat foreigners again. This was how Cao Mang cheated foreigners worth tens of billions a year ago. Anyone who bought this patent would probably cry. .

"Don't worry, Mr. Cao. We have all signed a confidentiality agreement. How can we tell outsiders about this?" Zeng Liumin said with a smile.

April 4th, US time.

Under the hype of Best Buy, Gina Barilla's endorsement of Deep Blue Cars was criticized by netizens.

Of course, this is a false statement, because no matter how he explains it, netizens don’t believe him, and the lie becomes true after a while.

The popularity of Deep Blue mobile phones has also remained high because of this incident.

Best Buy headquarters.

Hubert Jolly looked at the order data in the background with joy.

The 1000 million Deep Blue mobile phones he imported from Deep Blue Technology have bottomed out, and the remaining inventory can only last two or three days at most. The entire North America can sell an average of 100 million mobile phones every day.

On average, they can earn US$200 per mobile phone. So, 1000 million mobile phones is a profit of US$20 billion.

Although they are just an agent, their profits have surpassed AMD and become the most profitable retailer in Europe and the United States.

Hubert Joly picked up the dark blue MAX2 on the table and made a call.

"Beep~Beep~Beep" came from the microphone three times before someone answered.

"Good morning, Mr. Hubert." Lu Bingwei greeted after answering the phone.

"Lou, the 10 million mobile phones we ordered before are almost sold out. When can you send us the next batch of goods?" Hubert Jolly asked.

"Mr. Hubert, our current production capacity is also very tight. We will not be able to ship to you until April 4st at the earliest. The sales of Deep Blue mobile phones in the Middle East are so good. In order to supply the Middle East, we have limited supplies to Asia. Supplied." Lu Bingwei said.

"Why did your company's production capacity suddenly become so small? The production capacity you acquired from Foxconn should be enough." Hubert Jolly said.

"Mr. Hubert, it's not that our production capacity is not good, it's that the new products are so popular. Our daily production capacity has reached 70, and we still cannot meet global demand." Lu Bingwei said.

The daily sales volume in the Middle East alone has reached more than 120 million units, and the daily sales volume in Asia has also reached 150 units. This is without supply to China.

The daily sales of the two plus Deep Blue Technology's new mobile phones in Europe and the United States have reached nearly 400 million units.

Since the launch of the new Deep Blue mobile phone, 2700 million units have been delivered, and 2300 million units have been pre-ordered online without counting China. This means that 5000 million units of Deep Blue mobile phones were sold in just nine days.

If you include China’s 700 million pre-orders, Deep Blue mobile phones sold 5700 million units in just ten days.

Today's Deep Blue mobile phone has surpassed fruit and become the best-selling mobile phone in the world.

This achievement cannot be achieved even by Fruit at his craziest state.

"Lou, if Deep Blue can give us priority in supplying goods, we can increase the price by 20% on the original basis," Hubert Jolly said.

In Hubert Joly's opinion, now is the time to seize the market. If they cannot sell more mobile phones as soon as possible at this time, they will definitely take away some of their customers when their new products are launched.

He doesn't want to turn these potential customers into customers of other brands.

"I need to discuss this matter with Mr. Cao. I will give you an answer tomorrow morning." Lu Bingwei said.

There was no way Hubert Jolly gave too much. Raising the quotation by 20% was equivalent to increasing profits by 20%. By doing this, Hubert was giving money to Deep Blue.

"Well, I'll wait for your news," said Hubert Jolly.

Lithia headquarters in Medford, Oregon, USA.

Brian DeBoer was on the phone with Cao Mang in the president's office.

Brian DeBoer's mood is the same as that of Hubert Joly. That's wonderful, because the reservations for Deep Blue Cars in Europe have reached 500 million units, and this number is the number of reservations after more than 300 million units are delivered.

If all these cars were delivered to Lithia, it would earn at least 1200 billion in profit.

All this was brought to him by Deep Blue Car.

Now Cao Mang is like a god to him, and those people behind him are all following him with their mouths full of oil.

"Cao, why did you call me when you had time?" Brian DeBoer asked with a smile.

"Mr. Brian, the global reservations for Deep Blue Motors have reached tens of millions. Although our two new factories are about to be launched, the delivery date is still scheduled to be two years later based on the current reservations.

In addition, we will launch a brand new SUV at the end of the year. This SUV will be more profitable than Deep Blue Car. We will also make certain adjustments to the production line by then, so I hope Lithia can stop the reservation of Deep Blue Car. "Cao Mang said.

The number of reservations in the Middle East alone has reached 300 million, and this number is still increasing. This is without Deep Blue's presence in Asia.

In order to buy Deep Blue cars, some Asian countries can only go to China to import them. If Deep Blue cars were deployed in Asia, the number of reservations would have exceeded 2000 million.

In fact, Cao Mang never expected that Deep Blue Automobile could have such exaggerated sales.

"Cao, if that's the case, why don't you invest in more factories?" Brian DeBoer asked in confusion.

"Even if we want to expand production, it will take time to build a factory. I didn't expect Deep Blue to have such good sales." Cao Mang sighed.

"Cao, we will continue to accept reservations from customers, and you will continue to invest in building new factories. There is no conflict between these two things. If we stop accepting reservations from customers at this time, these customers will most likely run away. Buying other brands will cause us to lose a lot of potential customers," said Brian DeBoer.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'm calling. Apart from this, I have another thing to tell you. Our autonomous driving function is about to be tested. Driving in China It will be tested on the road in May, and I hope you can get the testing qualifications for other regions." Cao Mang said.

"Cao, are you talking about autonomous driving going online for testing?" Brian DeBoer asked in surprise. “Yes, and it’s L5 level autonomous driving,” Cao Mang said.

Brian didn't believe his ears for a moment. He didn't expect that Cao Mang would be the king when he opened his mouth. L5 is the ceiling of autonomous driving.

"Will the SUV that will be launched at the end of the year support L5 level autonomous driving?" Brian DeBoer asked.

“Not only the new SUV supports L5 level autonomous driving, but the existing Deep Blue car also supports autonomous driving. We only need to add four radars to achieve L5 autonomous driving. We have already reserved them when we built the car. space.

If customers want to purchase autonomous driving, we will install these four radars for them so that their cars can support L5 autonomous driving. "Cao Mang said.

"Cao, if we release this news, the number of reservations for Deep Blue Cars will definitely increase dramatically. How much does this feature cost?" Brian DeBoer asked.

“If the PA assisted driving function is not enabled, customers need to pay approximately US$1 to activate it. If the customer already has this function, they only need to pay US$5000 to activate autonomous driving. This price includes four on-board radars. "Cao Mang said.

These four radars are the lidar installed on the front of the car and the millimeter-wave radar installed on the three sides of the car.

The most expensive one is the lidar installed on the front of the car. This 128-line lidar costs 1221 yuan. The remaining three millimeter wave radars only cost 600 yuan. The manufacturing cost of a millimeter wave radar. It's 200 soft sister coins.

Transforming an ordinary dark blue car into a car that supports L5 level only requires an additional hardware cost of 1621.

"This price is too cheap." Brian DeBoer was surprised.

"Lithia, you can decide the price in Europe and the United States. Our price in China is this price. I suggest that the price should not exceed 2 US dollars. Very few people will buy more than US dollars." Cao Mang said.

"I will take care of the price. Can you tell me about autonomous driving?" Brian DeBoer asked.

"Okay." Cao Mang replied.

"You should arrange for someone to come here as soon as possible. The governor of Oregon is my friend, and the approval time will not exceed 3 days." Brian DeBoer said.

The governor of Oregon is from the forces behind Lithia, so Brian dared to say that the review would take no more than 3 days. It would be hard to say if it were to be reviewed elsewhere.

"Mr. Brian, I have one thing to remind you before that. Once an accident occurs in L5 level autonomous driving, our manufacturer will be responsible for the accident. That means Lithia will be responsible for the accident in Europe and the United States," Cao Mang said. .

"I know about this matter. Lithia will be responsible for the European and American regions. I will make it known to the public at that time. We can sign a contract to ensure the interests of both parties." Brian DeBoer said.

"That's okay." Cao Mang said.

"Cao, I hope you will send someone over tomorrow. I want to take advantage of Gina Barilla's incident to hype up." Brian DeBoer said.

"No problem." Cao Mang replied.

Today is only April 4th. The road test in Shenzhen City will not be until May 24st. We can send people over to train them first.

April 4th, US time.

With Lithia's promotion, Gina Barilla's endorsement video once again landed on major European and American websites.

[Hello everyone, I am Gina Barilla. I am very happy to endorse Deep Blue. This time I want to endorse the Deep Blue car. Deep Blue will launch L5 level autonomous driving function in the near future. By then, Deep Blue car will free your hands. , users who don’t have a driver’s license don’t have to worry anymore.

Deep Blue Car's artificial intelligence driving system will become your best personal driver.

】Gina Bella said blatantly.

The video also shows the audience the entire process of the Deep Blue car starting to drive. To make such a video, Brian DeBoer spent 200 million. This video was made by a well-known stunt team.

Netizens were also shocked after seeing this video.

"This damn Gina Barilla keeps saying she won't endorse Deep Blue, but she actually endorses Deep Blue Technology. If you say this is false again, I won't believe you even if you say you want to eat shit."

"Did Gina Barilla really endorse Deep Blue Cars?"

"At first, I didn't believe the Chinese netizens who said Gina Barilla was endorsing Deep Blue. Now I don't know how Gina Barilla will explain to us."

"Excuse me, it's normal business behavior, and I'm offending you by endorsing Deep Blue."

"I think what you said above is right. I am a free America, how can I interfere in other people's private affairs."

"Yes, yes, we are a free America, and a free America shoots every day."

"Can you please pay attention to the key point? The point is not that Gina Barilla endorses Deep Blue, but that Deep Blue supports L5 autonomous driving. Do you know what the concept of L5 autonomous driving is? L5 autonomous driving is far ahead of the world."

Even though I don’t have a driver’s license, I can buy a car to travel for myself with self-driving. "

"I remember that Deep Blue Cars originally only supported L2 level autonomous driving. How did they make the leap to L5 level in one fell swoop? You must know that there are two levels, L3 and L4."

"This reminds me of the words of President Deep Blue. Deep Blue Technology is far ahead of the world."

"Awesome, let's directly upgrade the L2 Deep Blue car to L5 level autonomous driving. Originally, I wanted to buy a Tesla for fun and try out the performance of the electric car. Now it seems that I will still buy the Deep Blue car. Well, just the autonomous driving function is worth buying."

"The official website has not expressed its position yet. I think this matter is fake."

"Brother, please go to Lithia's website and take a look. Lithia's official website has issued relevant announcements. It will be tested in Oregon on April 4, and ten cars will be released for testing."

Lithia Automotive Headquarters Engineering Department.

At this time, Wu Liangzhi was explaining to Lithia Automobile engineers how to modify Deep Blue Automobile.

Wu Liangzhi came to the windshield and pointed to the metal partition above the windshield and said: "Many netizens have said why we don't design the roof to be integrated and have to build an independent partition here. This partition is The position is deliberately reserved for the use of lidar. We can remove the partition by inserting this special card from this position.

This special card is equivalent to the key to the partition, and other cards cannot be inserted into it. "

After Wu Liangzhi took out the partition, he placed it on the ground, and then opened a rectangular cowhide box, which contained a partition with a radar.

"Everyone, please note that this is the data line interface of the radar. We only need to connect the data interface and then install the partition back. The partition needs to be installed on the left side first. After installation, we only need to click it and install it. , because the interior of the partition adopts a snap design." Wu Liangzhi said. (End of chapter)
