Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 400: Preheating Pilot 001, Stacking Technology Stumps the Joint Laboratory
As Chen Xing finished speaking, three pictures of the front, side and rear of "Linghang 001" appeared on the LED screen, but there was no specific configuration.

The audience was stunned at first, and then the entire venue became agitated.

"Holy crap! Did they really build a car?"

"What a handsome front face design, especially those two headlights. It looks like something from Audi or Mercedes-Benz. Could it be a high-end brand?"

"The fastback side profile is so cool, the knife-shaped doors are designed to block wind, it's stylish and cool, and there's a rear wing at the back. Is Mr. Chen going to buy us a sports car?"

“I have a friend who loves this car!”

"Yes, I am his friend!"

While the audience was talking about the car, BYD CEO Wang Fu, who was sitting in the second row, scanned the LED screen like a scanning machine, analyzing the basic information of the vehicle, such as vehicle type, tire size, chassis height, brand positioning, and listing price, based only on its appearance.

Don’t think this is an exaggeration. Sometimes the amount of private information a picture can leak is beyond most people’s imagination.

Someone once posted on Tianya Forum, asking others to locate his location through a photo of the starry sky.

It turned out that one expert not only located his approximate area by the position of the stars, but was also able to pinpoint the street where the picture was taken by taking advantage of the street lights and house tops that were accidentally captured in the photo.

Precisely because pictures can reveal too much information, many military ports and military bases do not allow taking photos.

Not only Wang Fu was "scanning" the vehicle pictures, Masike was also analyzing them. Both of them silently took note of the vehicle's appearance and inferred the brand's pricing range based on the appearance.

And at the same time.

the other side.

Shanghai Automobile Group Headquarters.

In the conference room, CEO Chen Hong had long anticipated that Chen Xing would mention electric cars at the press conference, and he also called in the two chief engineers, Wilson and Sovska, in advance.

As the exterior concept map was revealed, Wilson, the chief engineer of GM assisting SAIC, immediately made an accurate analysis: "The vehicle will be 16-17 feet long, about 5 feet high, and the tire size will probably be 18-20 inches."

"And the design of the tail wing." As soon as Wilson finished speaking, Sovska immediately took over and said, "It can be inferred that this may be a sports car, but Longxing Group has no experience in car manufacturing, so it is impossible to directly position it as a high-end coupe."

After a half-second pause, he made an analysis: "Based on a comprehensive analysis, this is most likely a commuter vehicle with certain sports car performance, but not a high-end coupe. This can be seen from the tires."

Chen Hong took a closer look and found that the aspect ratio and tire shape of the Linghang 001 tire did not meet the specifications of a coupe tire.

Generally speaking, if it is a coupe tire, its tire pattern design will be relatively complex to provide stronger grip and drainage performance.

Some high-performance coupe tires also use an asymmetric pattern design to optimize performance on dry and wet land.

The tread pattern of the Pilot 001 in the current picture is relatively simple, and the aspect ratio, that is, the height and width of the tire section, does not visually reach the value of a coupe tire.

Various signs indicate that the Pilot 001 should not be a coupe.

"I see." Chen Hong suddenly realized, then looked at Wilson and Sovska, and said in a deep voice: "What do you think the price range is?"

"30 Dragon Country Dollars."

"It may reach 35 Dragon Country coins."

The two gave different answers, but both were in the range of 30 to 40.

In Longguo, vehicles priced between 30 and 40 yuan are already high-end models and are the entry price for basic BBA models.

"Another point."

Suddenly, Wilson said, "Look at the front view. The interior decoration of the vehicle is very likely made of Nappa leather. And if you look at the center console, you can vaguely see the edge of an LED screen. It may have a large center console screen. I am just being conservative in predicting the price of 35 yuan, because no one knows the performance of the battery, motor, and electronic control."

"Is this so..."

Chen Hong fell into deep thought.

He certainly doesn't want Chen Xing, Lei Jun, and Ren Guofei to come in and get a piece of the pie in the automobile market, because the automobile market is so small, if you make money, others will definitely make less.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Wilson and Sovska and said, "We should reduce the configuration of our electric cars where necessary and save where necessary. We must keep the price below 200,000 yuan."

"Price war?"

"Are you going to start a price war with Longxing Group?"

They both asked at the same time.

Chen Hong's eyes were sharp, and she clenched her fists and said, "I have no other choice. One more person means one more mouth to feed. If we don't kill them, we might be the ones to die."

He knew how Chen Xing got his start. Now that he wanted to get a share of the pie in the automotive industry, he had to strike first.

Not only SAIC Group, but also GAC Group, BAIC Group, and all large and small automakers in the country are ready for this tough battle.

But there are also some stubborn car companies that think that electric vehicles have no future and choose to compete with fuel vehicles against electric vehicles.

……

Deep City Dragon Kingdom.

The press conference site of Longxing Base.

Chen Xing took in the solemn expressions of Masike and Wang Fu. His purpose of announcing Pilot 001 in advance had been achieved.

Mentioning electric vehicles at the end of the press conference not only warns the audience, but also warns competitors.

The purpose is simple, which is marketing, or preheating.

Yao Nana was not idle in the background. She first contacted her own official blog operation and released three exterior concept pictures of the Pilot 001 car. Then she immediately contacted the official Weibo and asked them to promote the relevant blog post.

Not a moment.

The entry "Pilot 001" became a hot search on Weibo.

Many people who are planning to buy a car, as well as those who are just watching the fun, gathered around and left messages in the corresponding Weibo comment section.

[Uncle Damo Wang]: "This car looks familiar. I seem to have seen it in the north. It turns out to be the Longxing Group's Pilot 001?"

[Lonely Night Rainfall]: "How come you made a pair of glasses that I can't afford? With this appearance, 50 is not excessive at all."

[Young Master Yangcheng Feng]: "I have to say, this fastback style is really cool. Mr. Chen not only knows about mobile phones, but also knows what we need."

There are good reviews, and naturally there are bad reviews. Some "foreign-fawning" people immediately started to mock when they saw the pre-release of Linghang 001.

[Hippo is not a horse]: "A car is a man's face in public. As the saying goes, if you have a BMW, you don't need to speak, your BMW will speak for you. Buy a domestic car, and this kind of domestic electric car that is similar to a sports car. Who would think of buying it?"

[初升耀阳]: "If I buy the Linghang 001, it won't be the car that speaks for me, but I will speak for the car. Who on earth would be so desperate to buy a domestic car?"

[Bai Le Wu Mu]: "As a BMW 3 Series owner, I would rather buy a Tesla than a purely domestic car. Tesla has at least a dozen years of experience, while a Pilot has only been around for a year at best. I wouldn't even dare drive such a car if given to me."

The poor quality control of domestically produced cars has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese people.

A blogger once commented that if you buy a Japanese or German car, you can drive it until it is scrapped, but if you buy a domestic car, you have to be prepared for a minor repair every six months and a major repair every two years.

Of course.

They are not talking nonsense.

Domestic cars used to be really bad. Not only was the quality control too poor, but the engine performance also couldn't keep up with the times. This led to foreign car companies seeing business opportunities and coming to China to form joint ventures with local car companies to take over this huge market of 13 billion people.

But what netizens and car company CEOs would not expect now is that electric vehicles will be the new route to end fuel-powered vehicles.

Due to technical patents and limitations of production equipment, Chinese car companies cannot compete with Japanese and German companies in the engine field. However, the electric motor field is still a blue ocean and the outcome is uncertain, so anyone can be a dark horse.

……

After warming up the Pilot 001, Chen Xing did not linger too long and reminded the guests: "Okay, this is the appearance concept map of our Pilot 001. We will keep the specific performance configuration confidential for now. We will have a good chat at the car launch conference at the end of the year."

End of year car launch?
The moment these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became agitated.

"Is it the new calendar or the lunar calendar?"

"We can see it before the New Year, right?"

"Mr. Chen is awesome!"

"Mr. Chen is a model worker in the industry. He holds several press conferences a year. Haha. I hope the car can be cheaper. I am 24 and still don't have a car!"

“Affordable vehicles required!”

The audience cheered loudly, and Chen Xing also selected the question and answered: "The price will not be too expensive, please rest assured. As for whether it is the lunar calendar or the new calendar, we will study it further."

Chen Xing keeps releasing information, leaving the car company bosses to guess.

He knew very well that if he wanted to enter the automotive field, he would have to fight head-on with the established car companies, and only by winning would he be qualified to become a friendly competitor.

It’s like if a company wants to enter the mobile phone field now, it must face industry giants such as Kunpeng, Dami, and Longxing Group. Only by “snatching food from the tiger’s mouth” can it truly be considered a friendly competitor.

"All right."

Chen Xing waved his hand and said in closing: "The Longxing Group Autumn Conference has come to an end. I am honored to have received so much attention. The audience and guests on site are requested to leave in an orderly manner, or take a break in the backstage. The audience in the live broadcast room should rest early. See you at the car launch conference at the end of the year."

"Go to bed early."

"Yes, go to bed early."

Liu Dongzi and Jack Ma echoed.

Then, the three of them walked down the stage and disappeared at the backstage entrance.

The audience left one after another, but many of them did not rush to leave, but stayed to check in and take photos.

Masik originally wanted to leave as soon as possible like the Silicon Valley elites such as Kuk and Morenkov, but when he saw Wang Fu still staring at the appearance picture of the Pilot 001 on the LED screen, he sat down again.

He actually knew very well that there were not many truly powerful car companies in China, but BYD was one of them.

Wang Fu was the CEO of BYD. Before Chen Xing announced the plan to build cars, Masick regarded Wang Fu as his number one enemy.

Seeing that most of the people had left, Masike shamelessly stepped forward and said, "Boss Wang, I have long heard of your great name."

"Massek?"

Wang Fu was stunned. He didn't expect Masike to come to him. You know, the two are in a competitive relationship now, belonging to two different camps of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles.

But since he was here, he smiled and said, "President Masike, I've heard a lot about you. What can I do for you?"

"Is it convenient for us to talk outside?"

Marsick made an invitation.

In less than a second, countless ideas popped up in Wang Fu's mind. He nodded and said, "Okay."

He also wanted to see what Masike was planning.

"Then please."

"please."

The scene of the two people leaving together was also recorded by the backstage camera.

……

The backstage lounge of the auditorium.

Chen Xing looked at Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi in front of him, smiled and said, "Mr. Ma and Mr. Liu, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to our press conference." "Mr. Chen, you're welcome. This press conference is not only for your mobile phone, but also for our discount online shopping platform." Jack Ma responded quickly.

"That's right." Liu Dongzi nodded and responded in the same way: "With your phone leading the way, we can also launch new products later and gradually improve the platform ecosystem."

"correct."

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of something and confirmed again: "Is the security really in the hands of your Longxing Group?"

It’s not that he looks down on Longxing Group, but that everyone has their own expertise.

Since the discount online shopping platform is international, in the absence of strong domestic supervision, it is likely to be attacked by foreign hackers at any time.

Liu Dongzi was thinking of finding Qihoo Technology CEO Zhou Hongwei and asking them to maintain the security of the website.

“We also have a professional team.”

Chen Xing smiled.

They are even responsible for the security module of the GIANT PANDA bank settlement system, not to mention a small discount online shopping platform. Jiang Ce is definitely capable of doing it.

"Okay." Seeing Chen Xing's firm tone, Liu Dongzi looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late. Mr. Chen, let's talk next time. I won't disturb your rest."

"It's really getting late."

Jack Ma echoed.

Seeing that both of them wanted to leave, Chen Xing did not try to persuade them to stay. He gestured to them and said, "Then I'll take you through the back door. There will be no traffic there, and I can go back to the office building on the way."

"Sorry, Mr. Chen."

"Haha, it's on the way."

The three of them walked out of the lounge and slowly walked towards the back door of the auditorium.

When they walked out of the auditorium, Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi were very tactful. They looked at the drone in the sky. The former stopped and said, "Mr. Chen, please send us here. With your drone to guide the way, we should not get lost."

"Yes, I won't keep you any longer."

Liu Dongzi agreed.

"Okay then." Chen Xing didn't continue to be polite and continued, "Let's meet again next time. See you later."

"See you later."

"See you later."

After a few simple polite words, the three of them parted ways. Jack Ma and Liu Dongzi walked towards the entrance of Longxing Base, while Chen Xing walked along the road to the office building.

Not a moment.

He saw the office building.

But what he didn't expect was that there was already a group of CEOs waiting for him at the entrance of the office building, all of them were familiar faces.

Seeing that Chen Xing was indeed going back to the office building, the group quickly surrounded him.

"Brother Chen..."

Luo Hao just called out these three words, and then quickly changed his words and said, "Brother Chen, I call you brother now. Can you supply some of these Chinese chips to my Iron Hammer Company?"

"Ahem, I want it too."

"Me too."

Lei Jun and Duan Yongping did not hold back and expressed their demands directly.

The Chinese chip, which is 7 nanometers and can perform up to 3 trillion operations per second, is something that mobile phone manufacturers are extremely envious of.

Ren Guofei was embarrassed to ask for supplies like other manufacturer CEOs did, but the fact that he came here showed that he also wanted chip supplies.

Chen Xing didn't care about the so-called title. Seeing so many friendly business colleagues there, he made a gesture of invitation and said, "No problem, let's go upstairs and talk slowly."

There is definitely no problem with the chip supply. In his vision, Longxing Group is not just about the mobile phone business. Making profits from chip supply is also part of the business landscape.

Of course.

The most important thing is that monopoly business is not desirable.

If you rely on your leading patent technology to engage in monopolistic behavior, the National Anti-Monopoly Bureau may call you in for a talk.

Chen Xing also understands the principle of knowing when to advance and when to retreat, and knowing gains and losses. Therefore, he will not refuse to supply Chinese chips to friendly companies.

However, supply is supply. In order to ensure the competitiveness of Longxing Group's four flagship models, he will not supply them immediately. He will have to wait at least three months.

"Cough cough."

Two dry coughs attracted Chen Xing's attention.

The one who had the dry cough was none other than Gao Yongming, CEO of Loongson International.

He looked at Chen Xing and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Chen, do we still need a foundry for Chinese chips?"

"of course."

Chen Xing laughed.

The reason why he concealed the Huaxia chip was mainly because he was afraid that the news would leak out and affect the progress of the press conference.

You should know that there was once an "insider" in Loongson International, which led to the fact that they were almost exposed for producing chips for Longxing Group during the "open and hidden moves" period. If Gao Yongming had not delayed it as much as possible, the whole game would probably have to be started over again.

Later, after an internal review, it was discovered that a master's student could not resist the temptation while studying abroad and accepted a bribe of 100 million US dollars from the Dutch ASML company. After returning to China, he happened to meet Academician Feng Chengming who was recruiting helpers for chip production, and the news was eventually leaked.

It was precisely because of this incident that Chen Xing chose to keep the Huaxia chip confidential in all respects.

However, now that the Huaxia chip has been announced to the public, even if Gao Yongming does not find him, he will go to Gao Yongming to entrust the production to maximize the chip production capacity.

2.7 million units were sold in half an hour. With Longxing Group’s own production capacity, it is unknown when the delivery will be completed.

A group of CEOs followed Chen Xing upstairs to the top floor office for negotiations.

……

And on the other side.

Ku Ke and Li Jae-yong were sitting in the same car, both of them were worried and didn't say a word.

When he returned to the hotel living room, Li Jae-yong looked at the one-hour data released and said in a deep voice: "In one hour, 4 million units were sold worldwide. How should we respond?"

"Lie down."

Ku Ke had no choice.

The 7-nanometer chip, the computing performance of 3 trillion times per second, and the stacked CMOS sensor made him wonder how to deal with this crisis.

"You don't have more advanced chips?"

Lee Jae-yong asked.

He was very clear about the power behind Kuke, which was a Jewish consortium.

What is a Jewish consortium?

Let’s put it this way, the group that controls the economic lifeline of the entire world today is the Jewish consortium; even the Federal Reserve belongs to them.

Furthermore, money can not only compound interest, but also build up high technology.

You know, the foundation of scientific research, in addition to talented scientists, is long-term financial investment.

Without money, it is difficult to move forward.

But with money, there is fertile ground for research and development.

Ordinary people may not know this, but Lee Jae-yong is not an ordinary person. He knows that the Jewish consortium has hidden a lot of good things, such as drugs to treat cancer and ways to prolong life.

"No."

Ku Ke just shook his head.

He is just the strongest worker on the surface, not a core member.

Although he is not a core member, he also knows some internal secrets of the Jewish consortium.

That is, Maria accidentally revealed to him that replacing the blood throughout the body once a year can delay the aging of organs.

At the same time, he also learned why the elderly in the Jewish circle are so energetic. The reason may be blood transfusion.

Seeing that Ku Ke said no, Li Jae-yong became even more desperate. The appearance of Tianyu X1 seemed to tear off the last fig leaf of Hanxing Group, making him feel powerless.

Ku Ke is not in a good situation. The folding screen design of the Brilliant X2 seriously threatens the innovative status of the iPhone 8. He is very afraid that the label of "innovation" will be taken away by the Longxing Group, as this is the foundation of Apple.

In addition to Kuk and Lee Jae-yong, Qualcomm CEO and President Morenkof is also desperate. They can still catch up with 7 nanometers, but they can't catch up with 3 trillion operations per second.

In less than two years, Longxing Technology has grown into a multinational group, and now it has reached the point where he has to look up to it.

Just when Morenkov was desperate and confused, a phone call came that made him even more desperate.

After a few seconds.

He stood up with a nervous look.

"what?"

“Is someone trying to crash our stock price?”

Due to the time difference, although it was already early morning in Long Country, it was just afternoon in the United States and it was still daytime.

"Yes."

The person on the other end of the phone asked in a hurried tone, "It seems to be Wall Street. People on Wall Street are shorting our stock price."

“Wall Street!!!”

Morenkov's breathing stopped.

He didn't expect that these giant crocodiles would pounce on him again. Didn't they say they were allies? Why did they short the share price of Gaotong again?
After a brief thought, he decided to return to his country to test the waters.

……

Although the autumn launch conference has ended, the sensation it caused is far from over. At this time, in the United States, across the ocean, chief engineers from many Silicon Valley companies and the world's top chip talents have gathered in a joint R&D laboratory to carry out the first stacking design.

"No, failed!"

"Damn it, if we stack them like this, the power consumption of the chip will increase significantly, at least more than 30W."

"How did the engineers at Longxing Group design it? How did they solve the heat dissipation problem? Moreover, this transistor structure is totally unsuitable for stacking. I think it needs to be redesigned."

"This damn stacking technique!"

Charles, the chief chip engineer of Qualcomm, was shocked as he listened to the complaints of the engineers beside him. He said, "It is impossible to stack them. Could it be that the engineer of Longxing Group redesigned the internal structure of transistors in order to stack them? Who is he?"
