Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"Old Chief, are you watching the live broadcast? Sulfide solid-state batteries have been developed. Chen Xing is going to make a big splash!"

Dragon Kingdom Sichuan and Chongqing.

Chauncey Rocket Launch Center.

After witnessing the terrifying properties of the "Thor Battery", Zhao Chenguang immediately called Wang Shan who was far away in Taiwan.

Wang Shan, who had just concluded the cooperation and was returning to the hotel by car, nodded slightly and said with a look of joy in his tone: "I saw it. I really didn't expect that Chen Xing could still bring me surprises."

"Sulfide solid-state batteries, I feel that if this trend continues, new energy tanks will not be a dream. What do you think, old leader?"

Zhao Chenguang joked.

"Forget it." Wang Shan smiled helplessly and said in a deep voice: "You are also working on new energy tanks. Do you want more military research and development funds?"

"Hehe." Zhao Chenguang did not deny it and said what he was thinking: "Although new energy tanks are not realistic, new energy drones should be worth studying, right?"

For large mechanical armaments such as tanks, aircraft, and warships, the most important thing is stability, and performance is secondary. This is also a characteristic of all military equipment.

If you rashly replace the internal combustion engine in order to save energy, it will not be worth it if the lithium battery fails.

But drones are different. Their main features are lightness and flexibility. If they were powered by an internal combustion engine, not to mention how to install them, the cost alone would increase rapidly.

"Just leave the drone to Xiao Song. You in the Western Theater Command should focus on studying satellites in space." Wang Shan refused with a smile.

"Yeah."

Zhao Chenguang suddenly realized and quickly changed his words: "It's not a drone, we are going to build a space satellite, and we plan to replace it with Thor batteries to drive it."

"..."

Wang Shan was silent for half a second, then said helplessly, "I'll consider it."

"Thank you, old chief."

"Nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Oh, by the way, old leader." Wang Shan was about to hang up the phone when Zhao Chenguang saw him and quickly stated his true purpose: "How is the economy going? Did they agree?"

"The deal is basically done. I plan to rush back to the capital overnight. The real financial storm is probably coming." Wang Shan's tone contained a hint of worry, but more of determination. He had to do this.

"Then I'll pass it on." Zhao Chenguang obviously understood the seriousness of the matter and put away his playful smile.

This time, Chen Xing and Longguo Capital are targeting the island country's financial system. After several simulations, the Longguo think tank has determined that the island country will use interest rate hikes to deal with the fate of being harvested when it faces a life-and-death crisis.

Once the Japanese yen raises interest rates, the world's financial systems will be in turmoil.

Why is the impact so drastic?

Perhaps many people don’t know that the Japanese yen has always maintained a low interest rate, or even a negative interest rate policy, in order to stimulate the consumer market and curb deflationary pressure, but this has also allowed international investment banks to see business opportunities.

They first borrow money from the island country, for example 1000 million yen, and then deposit it all in the United States or other banks with high deposit interest rates. Since the island country has a low interest rate policy, the loan interest rate charged may be around 1%. According to the current US deposit interest rate of 10%, international investment banks do not have to do anything, and do not even have actual principal, but can get 9% interest income.

This operation of eating into the interest rates of two countries is also known as "Mrs. Watanabe."

It is no exaggeration to say that there are countless "Mrs. Watanabe" in the financial markets around the world. Even Wall Street tycoons such as Buffett and Soros are "Mrs. Watanabe".

Once the island country can no longer withstand the financial offensive and chooses to raise interest rates to recover funds, the original 9% interest income will be reduced, and the actions of international investment banks can naturally be predicted.

"Yes." Wang Shan nodded and reminded again: "The first battle is the decisive battle. This time, either the US stock market collapses or the island country's financial system collapses. We must be prepared."

"Don't worry, old leader." Zhao Chenguang forced a smile and said with assurance, "I know what to do. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

"Alright, alright, get busy."

"okay."

The two hung up the phone.

Wang Shan looked at the time and turned off his phone, but after thinking carefully for a while, he picked up the phone again and looked through the address book.

And on the other side.

Chauncey Rocket Launch Center.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Chenguang did not rush to inform the people in the financial system, but called Song Weiguo.

"Dududu-"

After several busy tones, Song Weiguo's impatient voice was heard.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, say it quickly."

The two men have known each other for decades and are friends who are willing to die for each other. Although his words were a bit rude, Song Weiguo also cheered up.

He knew very well that Zhao Chenguang would not call him for no reason.

"Did you watch the Longxing Group press conference?"

Zhao Chenguang asked.

"Press conference?" Song Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and explained, "I was still mobilizing troops to go to Zhurihe for exercises, and I didn't pay attention to that guy's press conference. What big thing is this?"

Zhao Chenguang: “New energy vehicles.”

"Oh, I've taken a look at it in advance and tested it in the car. It's pretty good. Is there anything else?" The production plant of Linghang Automobile is in Fengtian, and Fengtian is Song Weiguo's territory. He has tested it personally.

"Do you know about sulfide solid-state batteries?"

"I know."

"You knew it earlier than me?"

"Well, the factory is all here." Song Weiguo smiled contemptuously, and then said: "Not only do I know, I also combined drones with sulfide solid-state batteries and successfully developed the Reaper 500 drone with a range of 2 kilometers."

"..."

Zhao Chenguang was completely confused.

He really didn't expect that one day, as the head of the shadow intelligence department in the country, his intelligence would lag behind others.

"Death No. 2, Zhurihe, it looks like Man Guangzhi will be hung up and beaten again." Zhao Chenguang murmured to himself.

In the last Zhurihe exercise, the combined brigade sent by the Fengtian Military Region captured Man Guangzhi alive by using the Honeycomb Reaper drone.

This time the Reaper drone has been upgraded again, with a range of 500 kilometers. Zhao Chenguang couldn't imagine whether Man Guangzhi would doubt his life.

"Old Zhao, do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll hang up. I plan to command the battle myself this time." Song Weiguo said with a smile.

He had not participated in the Zhurihe drills before, because besides his old body being unable to withstand the stress, he also had no chance of winning.

But this time it’s different. The armaments used by the Fengtian Combined Brigade are all top-notch, and capturing Man Guangzhi is a must.

Once he succeeds, Song Weiguo's resume can be added with a few more lines, which is the honor of a soldier of the Dragon Country.

"Alright, alright, it's alright, go do your drill."

"Then hang up."

As soon as Zhao Chenguang finished speaking, Song Weiguo hung up the phone.

Although it was just a military drill, no one took it as a drill because the humiliation of modern history was still fresh in people’s minds.

When the two hung up the phone, Zhao Chenguang looked at the call record on his phone and muttered to himself: "Chen Xing treats me as an outsider. He told Song Weiguo about the sulfide solid-state battery but didn't tell me. It seems that Si Qiu is still not attractive."

……

Dragon Kingdom Deep City.

International Speedway.

Chen Xing, who was standing on the podium, listened to the cheers from the audience and raised his voice, saying: "Whether it is polymer semi-solid batteries or our sulfide all-solid batteries, they have been tested tens of thousands of times by multiple safety agencies. They are really very safe and reliable."

"Far ahead!"

"Far ahead!"

"Far ahead!"

The moment Chen Xing finished speaking, the audience cheered with "far ahead" so loudly that it hurt people's eardrums.

In multiple official live broadcast rooms such as Weibo, Huya, Douyin, and Bilibili, tens of millions of viewers were sending barrages of comments crazily.

"This time we are really far ahead, and we have developed all-solid-state batteries."

"I study battery materials, and I now seriously suspect that charging in 7 minutes is not the limit of sulfide solid-state batteries, but the limit of charging piles."

"Of course, that's a solid-state battery. It's not surprising that it can be fully charged in less than two minutes. But what makes me wonder is how Longxing Group solved the sulfide moisture problem."

"No matter how he solves it, my dad is in trouble tonight, so he must give me some gold coins to buy Pilot 001, otherwise I won't get married!"

"Buy, buy two!"

The performance of the Pilot 001 has been demonstrated and recognized by the audience across the Internet. Even its haters cannot find any fault with it, because the materials used in this car are so rich.

Chen Xing waited for another 10 seconds until the cheers died down, then he pressed his hand and continued to explain: "Since we have such a powerful power battery, our high-voltage platform is naturally top-of-the-line. The standard version provides 800 volts, while the premium version reaches 1000 volts."

"Wow—"

The scene was once again in an uproar.

Although most viewers don’t know what this high-voltage platform is used for, the values ​​of 800 volts and 1000 volts look very impressive.

However, in the stands, Marsik could no longer sit still.

"Shet!"

He cursed angrily, stood up, and walked straight to the entrance of the stands on one side.

BMW Group CEO Nagel, Mercedes-Benz Group CEO Olaf Reiter, Audi Group CEO Dussmeier, Honda Group CEO Otaki Kazuki, SAIC Group CEO Chen Hong, and BYD Group CEO Wang Fu were all surprised that Marsik failed to manage his emotions in public. How big of a blow was this?
"What's going on?"

"What happened to Marsik?"

Luo Hao and Duan Yongping asked in confusion.

Lei Jun shrugged, indicating that he didn't know, and joked: "Maybe he went to the toilet because he had to go to the toilet."

Ren Guofei smiled but said nothing.

In fact, he and Lei Jun both knew the reason why Masick was defeated. Currently, the only new energy vehicle companies in the world that can produce 800V and 1000V high-voltage platforms are Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Dami Company.

Wang Fu, who was sitting next to the two, took a deep breath, glanced at Lei Jun and Ren Guofei, and explained to Luo Hao and Duan Yongping: "The 800-volt high-voltage platform is too high. Even the latest Tesla overseas model cannot achieve this configuration, let alone a 1000-volt high-voltage platform."

"What the hell is this high-voltage platform?"

Luo Hao scratched his head.

After all, new energy vehicles are a new thing, so it is normal that he doesn’t understand them.

Before Wang Fu could speak, Chen Xing on the podium seemed to have heard Luo Hao's question and continued from a distance of several dozen meters:
"I'm sure everyone is wondering what a high-voltage platform is. What role does it play in the internal architecture of new energy vehicles? I'll briefly explain it to you here."

When he paused, he quickly pressed the remote control in his hand, switched the PPT page and continued: "High-voltage platform, its full name is the electric energy driven vehicle high-voltage system."

"Take the standard version of the Linghang 001 as an example. It uses an 800-volt high-voltage platform, so it has an 800-volt voltage standard."

"Under this platform, the key components of the pilot car, such as the power battery, motor system, and electronic control system, are all tailor-made for a voltage of around 800 volts."

"After hearing this, you may still be confused and not understand its importance. Let me give you an example." While Chen Xing was speaking, he pressed the button on the remote control again.

next second.

A demonstration image appears on the LED screen.

The Linghang 001 was virtualized, and its internal structure was clearly visible. The operation of the high-voltage platform and power battery were also marked with arrows.

"The power battery is equivalent to the blood in our body. Every time it travels through the body, it can provide energy to the cells of various organs. The high-voltage platform is like the heart, responsible for providing power for the blood to travel."

"The 800-volt and 1000-volt high-voltage platforms are equivalent to the hearts of ordinary people and athletes. People who exercise regularly will know that the heart beats slower than those who don't. This is because high-intensity training increases the contractility of the myocardium, causing the heart to eject more blood each time than normal people. In other words, the higher the voltage of the high-voltage platform, the stronger the energy supply performance."

"I see." "So that's how it is."

The moment Chen Xing finished his explanation, everyone suddenly understood what the high-voltage platform was.

Perhaps Chen Xing would never have thought that his press conference would not only attract car owners, but also a large number of second-hand dealers.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are hundreds of thousands of second-hand dealers across the country watching the press conference and wanting to learn about new energy vehicles.

Knowledge is wealth, learning is progress, this sentence applies to any industry, and opportunities are given to those who are prepared.

"No wonder Masik ran away, it turns out his configuration was crushed again." Luo Hao realized it belatedly and looked towards the side entrance of the stands.

At the entrance to the second-floor stands, Masik had already lit a cigarette. He finally understood why so many people liked attraction. It turned out that this thing could really relieve stress.

With a 2000 MPa vehicle architecture, L3 autonomous driving, a 200-kilometer battery, and a 1000-volt high-voltage platform, he is well aware that he has no chance of winning in the mid- to high-end market. Currently, the only way left for him is to lower Tesla's market price in Longguo and compete for the lower-end market.

"Damn it!" Masike put out his cigarette. He had never thought about competing for the lower-end market, but that man forced him to consider the market for cars priced below RMB 15.

On the other side of the stands, SAIC Group CEO Chen Hong was completely out of temper and looked like a wilted eggplant.

I thought Chen Xing delayed holding the press conference because the Pilot 001 car had major defects or other reasons.

Now take a look…

Four words: far ahead!

Chen Hong only felt that his nose was a little itchy, and his yellow skin gradually turned red, as if a clown's red nose had replaced his original nose, making him feel ashamed.

"If I had known earlier, I would have established a good relationship with him. Maybe I could have had some soup."

Chen Hong sighed inwardly.

It could have been a win-win situation, but now it is no longer possible. He estimated that Chen Xing would not be willing to repair the relationship with him.

On one side, GAC Group CEO Zeng Hong, BYD CEO Wang Fu, and other domestic car company CEOs were secretly delighted. Fortunately, they did not have any conflicts with Chen Xing, and there was still possibility of cooperation in the future.

The CEOs of domestic car companies can still remain calm, but the CEOs of foreign companies are all on edge, as if they are under a thorn in their back.

Every item disassembled from the Pilot 001 is enough to be a selling point. This car is simply impeccable.

Chen Xing on the podium had no intention of stopping. He pressed the remote control again and said, "Now that everyone knows what a high-voltage platform is, let's take a quick look at the list of high-voltage circuit components of Pilot 001."

next second.

LED screen screen switching.

"As shown in the figure, we support high-voltage circuit components including power batteries, motor systems, electronic control systems, PTC electronic components, DCDC converters, PDU power distribution units, and MCU microcontroller units."

“Thanks to the powerful and stable power energy delivery of the high-voltage platform, our motor has a maximum horsepower of 315 horsepower.”

"Wow—"

The scene was once again in an uproar.

315 horsepower, this is undoubtedly a coupe!

You should know that the 2015 Maybach only has 272 horsepower, which is even more powerful than Maybach!
Before the audience could speak, Chen Xing pressed the remote control again and said, "Since the Premium Edition Pilot 001 is a 1000-volt high-voltage platform, we will add another motor and use a dual-motor drive with a horsepower of 620!"

"Wow—"

The audience was shocked again.

Not only ordinary viewers, but also CEOs of car companies were stunned when they saw the numbers on the screen.

Dual motor drive, 620 horsepower, is this still a coupe?

This is clearly an SUV off-road vehicle!

"???"

"???"

"???"

The live broadcast room was filled with question marks.

620 horsepower has refreshed the audience's cognition. This is the power that only top sports cars equipped with eight-cylinder engines can achieve, but now it only needs dual motors.

"Not only do we have dual motors, but they are also permanent magnet synchronous motors, which are not only more durable but also have higher energy conversion efficiency."

Chen Xing did not stop and continued, "After talking about horsepower, we naturally have to talk about torque. This is a value related to the strength of the vehicle. Let's not waste any more time and directly reveal the answer."

The words fell.

Data appears on the LED screen.

Standard version of Pilot 001, maximum torque: 450N-m.

Premium version of Pilot 001, maximum torque: 710N-m.

"Fuck, 450? 710?"

"No way, this Pilot 001 Coupe is more powerful than my SUV?"

"My Range Rover only has 600 Nm, but the Pilot 001 is going to be much faster than that. Doesn't this data mean it can outrun me?"

"This is too perverted, this is too perverted, my Lamborghini is not as powerful as his, what kind of monster did he build?"

"What's the slogan? Far ahead, far ahead. Longxing Group is far ahead. We are always ahead, 50% ahead of our peers, far ahead..."

"No doubt, we are really far ahead!"

The dual-motor design, 620 horsepower, and 710 maximum torque make this level of coupe so impressive that it has already impressed all the automotive engineers of the Ferrari Group in Maranello, Italy.

They looked at the live broadcast screen parameters with amazement on their faces.

"The maximum torque of the 710 is only 001 Nm short of the Pilot 50, which is on par with our Ferrari GTC4Lusso. I can't believe this is the level of car manufacturing of a Chinese automaker."

"It's hard to imagine. It's really hard to imagine."

“I have a strong feeling that the Pilot 001 will surpass the BMW Group and become the leading car company in the coupe segment!”

“It’s perfect, this car.”

Ferrari's engineers were not jealous, but simply appreciative.

In the automotive industry, Ferrari never lacks customers, only customers lack Ferrari. Therefore, the Pilot 001 cannot impact Ferrari's market share.

Although there is no conflict of interest, Ferrari's chief engineer Elihu Klostermann still reminded: "Electric cars may be the way to break the limit speed. Guys, it's time to act. We also want to launch an electric-powered Ferrari."

“We also want to build electric cars?”

"Are you serious?"

"I don't think it's necessary. The internal combustion engine will never become obsolete."

The other engineers were stunned. They had never thought of designing an electric car, and most importantly, they were afraid of accidents.

Ferrari is a top brand in the field of supercars. Naturally, its owners do not use it for daily transportation. Basically, they buy it to go on the racetrack, or to race and pick up girls.

If the speed exceeds 200 yards, according to Western lithium battery technology, it would be like a mobile bomb that would explode if it hits you.

Besides, everyone who has bought a sports car knows that in order to keep the weight down, the entire car is basically made of carbon fiber, and in the event of a car accident, the main purpose is to use explosive fragments to reduce the impact force.

Since everything has exploded into pieces, it means that the lithium battery pack cannot be protected, which makes it very easy for it to spontaneously combust and explode.

It is also for this reason that even though Tesla has captured a certain market share overseas and demonstrated the advantages of electric vehicles, sports car manufacturers have chosen not to follow suit.

Elihu Klosterman pushed up his glasses, stared closely at the live broadcast and said: "Internal combustion engines will never become obsolete, but solid-state batteries can also lead the era."

……

Not only the Ferrari Group, but engineers from other supercar groups have realized the seriousness of the matter. The Dragon Country brand vehicles, which they used to look down upon, seem to have risen quietly.

Meanwhile, Chen Xing at the Shenzhen International Racing Circuit continued to talk about the selling points of the Pilot 001, and each one of them was so thoughtful.

For example, the electronic control system and power recovery design allow 1 kWh of electricity to run seven to eight kilometers, which is far ahead of the rest.

Reversing image, blind spot image, parking image, and sentry mode can protect vehicle safety 24 hours a day.

The car is equipped with ambient lighting, Dolby Atmos surround sound, seat ventilation, Nappa leather, an 18-inch 5K high-definition central control screen, and the rear seat central control area is also equipped with a refrigerator.

It took Chen Xing a full half hour to describe all the interior details of the Pilot 001.

He paused for half a second, then pressed the remote again and said, "Because there is no engine, we have two storage spaces. The hood has 110L of space, and the trunk has 525. It is very, very spacious."

"call--"

Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief. He finally described the specific parameters of the Linghang 001 word for word.

"All right."

"This is the specific configuration of the Pilot 001."

"Clap clap-"

When Chen Xing finished speaking, the audience applauded. Masike, who was smoking at the entrance of the second-floor stand, also walked out of the entrance platform and looked at Chen Xing's podium and muttered, "Now that we've finished talking about the configuration, it's time for the price, right?"

As if he had heard what Masick said, Chen Xing smiled and looked at the camera in front of him and said, "How much does it cost to take home a standard version of the Pilot 120 with 315 kWh of electricity, 450 horsepower, and 001 maximum torque?"

"100 million!"

"120 million!"

"200 million!"

The audience began to guess the price.

The press conference has been held for almost two hours. They have also fully understood the parameters and configurations of the standard and premium versions of the Pilot 001. Almost no audience thinks that the price of these two cars is below 100 million yuan, including competitors from friendly companies. They also do not think that the price is less than 100 million yuan.

“The prices are quite different.”

Chen Xing shook his head.

"300 million!"

"500 million!"

"350 million!"

The audience had another round of guesses. Seeing that the price was getting higher and higher, Chen Xing simply revealed the answer and said, "It's getting farther and farther away. Count down to three and we'll announce the answer directly on the screen."

"three!"

The audience, including CEOs of rival companies, began the countdown, and everyone’s heart was in their throat.

Foreign car company bosses like Masik, Nagel, Olaf Wright, Dusmer, and Otaki Kazuki unconsciously held their breath and stared at the LED screen, fearing that they would miss the moment when the price was announced.

"two!"

"one!"

When the word "one" was spoken, Chen Xing directly pressed the LED screen remote control in his hand and switched to the next PPT page.

"Fuck!"

"No!"

"are you kidding me?"

"Go crazy!"

When the string of red Arabic numerals appeared, everyone in the stands, including the presidents of foreign companies, stood up subconsciously, their pupils trembling, staring at the LED screen.

The price of the standard version of Pilot 001 is RMB 20.9!
