Technology company, I will become the light of China!

Chapter 468: The IQ of car companies’ competitors is worrying. Who has turned on the simple mode?

"While domestic and foreign automakers are still filing joint complaints, Mr. Chen is thinking about expanding the new energy vehicle market. This is a big picture and a big ambition!"

"Let's be honest. Dragon's domestically produced cars are not up to par. The main reason is that the industrial upgrading process is too slow. Even our neighbor Xiaozi completed the industrial upgrading in the 70s, which is decades ahead of us."

"Fuel vehicles can't overtake others, so we have to concentrate our resources on electric vehicles. After all, Longxing Group has patented solid-state battery technology. It plays to its strengths and avoids its weaknesses, and is as stable as an old dog!"

"It is still me, Mr. Chen, who is in charge of reshuffling the cards and re-establishing the rules."

"The most important thing is that this is not the first time that Longxing Group has done this. They are very familiar with the specific process of the reshuffle."

As Chen Xing publicly stated that Longxing Group was willing to provide convenience to new energy vehicle companies, the number of comments in the live broadcast room suddenly increased.

The scene in which the Longxing X2014 priced at 1599 yuan was launched in 1 and reshuffled the mobile phone field, making other competitors suffer, is still vivid in our memory.

You want to say Chen Xing is ruthless.

Ruthless indeed.

The launch of the 1599-yuan Longxing X1 not only killed all the copycat phone companies, but also "forced" other friendly companies to invest huge amounts of money in the research and development of heat dissipation technology and fast charging technology.

However, due to the market reshuffle, the market share was redistributed, and many companies that kept up with the pace not only did not see a decrease in their net profit, but instead saw an increase of about 30%.

For example, the Blue-Green Factory, which is deeply involved in the "star economy", has been making a lot of money with its daily sales volume stable at tens of thousands of units since it was equipped with Hua Xia chips.

Masike, who was far away in Shanghai, listened to Chen Xing's story with a frown on his face. Unlike the audience, he did not just look at the first layer of meaning, but interpreted the second layer of meaning from his own perspective.

"Chen Xing is trying to attract wait-and-see capital to promote the comprehensive development of electric vehicles by providing convenient support to new car companies, including the core solid-state lithium batteries."

Only when an industry has competition can it show the motivation to flourish.

For example, many people know that table tennis is a sport in which the Dragon Country “must win” gold medals.

But few people know that table tennis has a "Wolf Raising Plan", which is to help other countries train players without reservation and let them compete with Dragon Country table tennis players for gold medals.

It is also because of this plan that table tennis has not only developed rapidly, but also made domestic players dare not slack off for a moment, because the "Wolf Raising Plan" really teaches everything, and if you are not careful, you may be eliminated.

Just as Masike thought, with Chen Xing's statement, the Dragon Country capital and the world capital that were waiting on the sidelines began to stir.

……

Britain across the ocean.

Barclays Bank Syndicate Office.

Four people in suits and with extraordinary temperament were sitting on the sofa. When they heard that Chen Xing was willing to provide patented technology for solid-state batteries, their eyes suddenly lit up.

The middle-aged man sitting on the far left, with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a shrewd look in his eyes, pondered carefully: "A 200-kWh solid-state battery and a range of 1600 kilometers, electric-powered cars may really be a possibility."

"Yes."

The man on the side nodded and expressed his own opinion: "The cost of using a car will drop by at least 40%. This is a devastating blow to Japanese cars. Perhaps we can invest in a car company and seize the British market in advance."

"German and Japanese cars have dominated our market for too long. Now that Longxing Group is willing to provide technology, British cars may be able to make a comeback. What do you think?"

"Whether it's Japanese, American or German, as long as it can make money, it's fine."

The man in the middle said he didn't care.

He has no sentimental feelings towards his homeland. As long as he can make money, he doesn't care what kind of car it is, he just needs to sell it.

“I’m sorry.”

On the far right side of the office, the thin man opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Electric vehicles will likely replace fuel vehicles, because the Pilot 001 is too smart, which is something that fuel vehicles cannot match. The trend is unstoppable, so why not take this opportunity to make more money."

British cars do not account for a large share of the global market. The more famous ones include Jaguar, Land Rover and Bentley. Although the brands are well-known, their global sales are not as high as that of Toyota Group alone.

New energy vehicles equipped with solid-state batteries are coming in full force. As the largest capital group in Britain, it is naturally impossible for them to resist the trend. That is something only fools would do.

"It seems that we have the same idea." The man who expressed his opinion first glanced at the other three people and smiled.

"of course."

"It seems so."

As everyone responded, the thin man spoke again: "Who will contact Chen Xing? I have never dealt with him."

"Let's send an email first to test the waters and see if he's willing to provide us with solid-state batteries. If he is, then we'll create a new energy vehicle brand."

"Then I'll do it myself."

"Ah."

The Barclays Bank consortium reached a consensus.

For capitalists, as long as there is money to be made, they will not care about anything else and will just make the money first.

The extremely low cost of using the Linghang 001 and its extremely high cost-performance ratio have already attracted the attention of many capital consortiums. Now that it is said to accept patent authorization, cats that smell the fishy smell will naturally gather.

Not only the Barclays Bank consortium, but also the French Rothschild Group and the German Thyssen Group have shown strong interest because they see the money.

As for the Rockefeller Group and the Morgan Group in the United States, and the Mitsui Group in the island country, they were tempted, but they were very honest and did not dare to cross the red line easily.

The reason is very simple. Fuel vehicles in the United States and the island countries account for 59% of the global market share. If they are asked to develop new energy vehicles, wouldn't that be destroying their own strength?

Therefore, these consortiums want to do it, but are afraid of heavy-handed action from the state.

……

Dragon Kingdom Deep City.

Longxing Group Landscape Base.

After announcing the decision, Chen Xing, who was on the center stage of the stadium, continued, "We will continue to explore the automotive field in depth. As for the SUV models that have been highly sought after online, we are actually also developing them. Here is a small preview."

"Wow—"

The audience was shocked.

They didn't expect that their group had just launched a civilian coupe, announced a supercar, and now came up with an SUV model.

Wash so thoroughly?
It’s really too cruel!
"I like to drive SUVs. I hope Mr. Chen can launch one sooner rather than later to beat those expensive Land Rover cars!"

"Support, strong support!"

"It's not that Land Rover can't afford it, but the Pilot is more cost-effective. I can only say that the wait-and-see party will win!"

"I bought it out of the bag!"

In response to the positive feedback from the audience, Chen Xing's lips curled up slightly, and he also strengthened his determination to build a car.

By focusing on the four aspects of "food, clothing, housing and transportation", Longxing Group has gone further and further.

After briefly organizing his thoughts, Chen Xing continued according to the progress of the annual meeting: "There is one more thing to say, that is, in the next few days, our 5G network will be fully upgraded, and the maximum network speed at that time may reach 50MB per second. Everyone should pay attention to the traffic."

"Fuck!"

"I rely on!"

"Did I hear correctly?"

When the maximum network speed of 50MB/s was announced, the audience was shocked. This was a speed they could not imagine.

What does 50MB/s mean?
Theoretically, it only takes 10 minutes to download a 3.3G movie. How many people would this be a blessing?

However, some people were worried when they heard about such a high internet speed.

"It's over. This time the joke might actually become a reality. If you forget to turn off the Internet before going to bed, you will owe the operator a house when you wake up."

"My package only has 20G of data. Can I handle a speed of 50MB/s?"

"Technology is advancing too fast. In the past, 50MB/s was unthinkable. The Internet age is too scary."

"With a 50MB/s internet speed, she should be able to reply to my message in time, right?"

"I don't know whether she will reply to your message or not, but you must not answer the video call in the early morning."

Chen Xing had actually anticipated the audience's intense reaction, so he was still being conservative in predicting this number.

Because Gaotong shared its network patent technology with Longxing Group, all the barriers that had to be circumvented in the past have disappeared, and the 5G network has reached its true peak.

According to the Deutschman test, the 5G network has achieved a maximum speed of 79MB/s, but it has not yet been commercialized.

"correct."

Chen Xing pressed his hand, signaling for silence, and continued, "We expect our artificial intelligence products to be officially launched after the new year. You can look forward to it."

He has mentioned artificial intelligence more than once, but the audience originally had no idea what it was.

However, with the emergence of L3 intelligent driving systems, more and more companies have come to realize the importance of artificial intelligence.

If there is a new generation of industrial revolution, it must be the deep popularization of artificial intelligence, using computing power to replace manpower.

After briefly talking about the future prospects, Chen Xing did not waste time talking, but said directly: "Okay, I have said enough, the stage will be handed over to the God of Songs Chen Yixun and the Queen of Songs Zhang Shaohan, let them use their singing to soothe everyone's fatigue over the past year."

After Chen Xing left the stage, Chen Yixun took over the "baton". The song "Ten Years" made the atmosphere even more enthusiastic, and the Longxing Annual Meeting became a concert.

For more than a dozen songs in a row, everyone was immersed in the singing.

……

After the excitement, it becomes deserted.

In the next few days, the workers of Longxing Group left Shenzhen one after another and boarded the train back to their hometown.

Anyone who has been to Shenzhen knows that as the Spring Festival approaches, the entire city seems particularly empty, with the flow of people dropping by at least 60%, which is not an exaggeration at all.

This is because among the four cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Shenzhen has the largest number of migrant workers. At least one out of every three people is a worker from outside of Shenzhen.

Not only are workers not native to Shenzhen, it is also common for company bosses to not be locals, such as BYD CEO Wang Fu, Penguin CEO Pony Ma, etc.

Therefore, when the Spring Festival approaches, Shenzhen will be particularly empty.

New Year's Eve.

Shenzhen Brilliant Hotel.

Chen Xing skillfully parked the car in the parking space and then walked quickly towards the hotel.

"Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Chen, this way please."

The hotel manager trotted to greet him.

Chen Xing nodded slightly and followed him in.

The Brilliant Hotel is not the best hotel in Shenzhen, and it is not even among the top ten, but for Chen Xing, it is of great significance.

After Chen Yapeng became famous in Huaqiangbei, he would book a private room here every New Year's Eve to celebrate the New Year. This habit has continued to Chen Xing's generation.

Inside the magnificent VIP box, the extra-large dining table that could accommodate thirty people for dinner was almost full, with only one seat left.

Not only were there relatives from the Chen family, but also the family of Chen Xing’s mother Liang Ruolan. It was the first time that the two families celebrated the New Year together.

"A Peng, overseas trade has been so difficult lately. I really envy you and your elder brother for counting money with your eyes closed."

The person who spoke was Chen Yapeng's second brother, named Chen Jinlong, who specialized in overseas trade.

With the impact of the US interest rate hike and global economic deflation, his business became increasingly difficult. He made less than 2015 yuan in the whole year of 20. Compared with the profit of 2014 million yuan in 290, it can't be said to be less, but he almost lost money.

"It's just the economic downturn. Jinlong, you made more money in the past few years than I did in ten years. Stop making fun of me."

Chen Feihong smiled calmly.

As the eldest son of the three brothers of the Chen family, he has been the focus of family training since childhood.

He lived up to his parents' high hopes and was admitted to the tobacco major at Henan Agricultural University. After graduation, he was directly assigned back to Shenzhen. His current annual income is stable at 30 yuan.

"As for the money, it's fine as long as it's enough. I don't know if Xiaoxing is busy. He hasn't arrived yet. I'll call and ask."

Chen Yapeng didn't want to talk too much about money. To some extent, the three brothers were actually doing pretty well. If they talked too much about money, this family dinner would become a mess.

And on the other side.

Liang Ruolan was treated like a star by her family.

"Xiao Lan, you are really blessed to have given birth to a CEO of a trillion-dollar group. You may not know that the elders of the ancestral hall said that Chen Xing can be included in the family tree as a person with a different surname."

"It's unprecedented for a person with a different surname to be included in the Liang family tree!" "Yes, why don't we let Chen Xing go back to her parents' home again this year? The elders all want to meet Chen Xing and share in his blessings."

The people who were speaking were Liang Ruolan's brother Liang Qingrui, his younger brother Liang Yuqiang and his younger sister Liang Xiaoqian, who were Chen Xing's uncle and aunt.

In previous years, they would celebrate New Year’s Eve at their Cantonese home.

This year they could not resist Chen Xing's "temptation". The trillion-dollar Longxing Group was so famous that they also wanted to build a good relationship with it, perhaps there would be some benefits to be gained in the future.

"咚咚-"

There was a knock on the open door of the box.

"I'm sorry I'm late. The group is too busy." Before Chen Xingren even entered the room, he looked at his relatives in the box and apologized.

He arrived early this year on purpose, and now there is still half an hour before 8:30 in the evening, but he still didn't expect to be "late".

When all the relatives have taken their seats, he will not worry about whether it is time or not. Anyway, it is definitely right to apologize first.

"Shuashuashua——"

Chen Xing's appearance made the Chen family and the Liang family in the box stand up, and they greeted him with big smiles.

"We are a family, so there is no such thing as being late or not. Ah Xing, come in quickly."

"Xing, I'm your uncle, sit next to you tonight, let's have a couple of drinks. You got me drunk last year, so I'm going to get you drunk tonight."

"You guys should drink less. Ah Xing is the CEO of the group. If he gets drunk and delays things, it will be troublesome."

"That's right, drink less."

The relatives in the box were talking at once. Chen Xing simply sorted out his thoughts and called them one by one: "Uncle, second uncle, aunt, aunt..."

"I have already handed over the company's affairs. No one will disturb you in the next seven days. It won't be a problem if you drink a little."

As a trillion-dollar group, Longxing Group already has its own set of internal execution procedures. Even if Chen Xing does not take care of things for half a month, it cannot be said that the operations are paralyzed.

After hearing what Chen Xing said, Chen Feihong's eyes lit up and he said, "What are you waiting for? Let's drink. It's rare for me to have two drinks with Ah Xing."

"Waiter, serve the food."

……

Like previous years, Chen Xing took off his identity as a "billionaire CEO" and lived the life that an ordinary person in eastern Guangdong province should live during the New Year.

On the first day of the new year, people burn incense and worship.

Because Liang Ruolan is from Cantonese, there is a custom of burning incense and worshipping during the New Year in the Cantonese area. Influenced by his mother, Chen Xing naturally also knows some of the worship procedures.

You cannot sweep the floor on this day as you need to accumulate luck.

On the second day of the new year, I went back to my parents’ home.

Due to the strong request of the Liang clan members, Chen Xing not only followed Liang Ruolan back to her mother's home, but also personally repaired the ancestral hall.

Although it is called a repair, it is actually just filling the hole in the doorway.

However, it was also because of this renovation that Chen Xing was included in the list of Liang family's clan ancestral halls under the surname "Chen".

It is not advisable to go out on the third day of the New Year.

On the fourth day of the New Year, classmates had a reunion.

On the fifth day of the New Year, I drink with relatives.

On the sixth day of the New Year, we continue to drink and welcome guests.

As a veteran in the business world, Chen Xing's alcohol tolerance is undoubtedly good, and most of the relatives who come to visit him leave staggering.

Although drinking alcohol is harmful to the body, on festive occasions like the Spring Festival, no one cares whether it is harmful or not. If you don’t offer a couple of drinks when friends and relatives come over, you don’t understand the ways of the world.

While Chen Xing was still relaxing and spending the New Year with his family, rival car companies were stabbing themselves in the back one after another.

At noon on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, the car review blogger "原是翔" with millions of followers on Bilibili released a collision test video.

The video title is very eye-catching, the content is: Shocking! Pilot 001 collided with Volvo, unexpectedly...

At the beginning of the video, the millionaire blogger first introduced the performance of the two cars and the strength of the vehicle structures.

According to paper data, Volvo is 1900 MPa, while Pilot 001 is 2000 MPa.

"We are not going to play tricks. We just want to see whether the safety of the Pilot 001 can outperform the Volvo in a direct collision test with 95% overlap."

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Start the test!"

The video camera turned and saw two cars colliding at a speed of 60 miles per hour. The "wheel-losing life-saving" strategy of both cars failed, and the front hoods of both cars had dents to varying degrees.

Since Volvo is a fuel vehicle and under the hood are the engine, water tank and other car parts, the Pilot 001, which does not have too many impact components, is obviously at a greater disadvantage, but the cockpit did not suffer much damage.

"This is Volvo Customer Service Center. We detected that your vehicle has been hit hard. Is anyone injured?"

After the vehicle collision, Volvo's rescue call came immediately.

The millionaire blogger had a clear goal. He quickly opened the door of the Volvo and replied to the customer service: "We are doing a test. There are no casualties. Thank you for your hard work."

"Okay, thank you for supporting Volvo and wish you a happy life."

Customer service hung up the phone.

This millionaire blogger also began praising Volvo's safety performance and telling its story, completely forgetting about the Pilot 001.

After he finished his story, he came to the side of Linghang 001 and bluntly stated that the door could not be opened and the body of the car was out of power. He also explained the reason, which was that when the vehicle collided, the low-voltage battery located in the front of the car was damaged, causing the vehicle to lose power.

Once the video was released, it immediately ignited the entire network, and marketing accounts flocked to it.

"Shocking, in the collision test between the Pilot 001 and the Volvo, the former completely broke down and turned into a coffin car!"

"Is it the decline of morality or the lack of law? The entire car of Pilot 001 was paralyzed in the collision test and the door could not be opened. I thought you wanted money, but you didn't expect you wanted my life!"

"A well-known car critic sharply stated that the Linghang 001 is industrial garbage!"

Just when everyone thought that Linghang 001 was about to face a public opinion storm and large-scale refunds would occur, Zhang Heting, who was already working as usual, contacted the vehicle's chief designer Hua Ming, who only replied to him with one sentence, that is, Linghang 001 has hidden low-voltage energy and the battery is connected to the national monitoring network.

Zhang Heting contacted the relevant person in charge again, retrieved the test vehicle data, and found that the vehicle had been intentionally powered off.

Since then, the truth has been revealed.

The car review blogger has no bottom line in making money and deliberately discredits the Linghang 001.

Zhang Heting contacted the legal team directly and asked them to follow up comprehensively.

After receiving the evidence, the million-dollar blogger was completely panicked and modified the video statement overnight, clarifying that the failure of the Linghang 001 might be caused by his own human factors, and apologized to Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Dami Company.

But netizens did not buy it and started making jokes about it online.

[苦叶茶]: "I watched the video of this blogger (originally Xiang), which made me determined not to buy the Linghang 001. I will support Volvo and start with me."

[God of War Xingtian]: "It's actually Xiang. I have to believe that there is something wrong with Pilot 001. Let's boycott it together!"

[Wudi Xiaorong]: "Thanks Xiang for letting us know the shortcomings of the Pilot 001. I have already bought a Volvo."

The moment this blogger, who has received millions of reviews, saw the comments from netizens, he felt as if the sky had fallen. These comments were all saying that he had affected the sales of the Linghang 001. If things went wrong, he might really have to go to jail for two years.

"It's over, it's over."

He was completely anxious.

After weighing the pros and cons, he tried to contact the legal departments of Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Dami Company, hoping to spend money to calm the storm, but what he got was a notice of prosecution.

There is a saying that goes, if the car really has problems, would the car reviewers let off the Linghang 001?

obviously.

They won't.

They just try to maximize traffic.

Therefore, after a brief discussion, the three companies decided to sue the millionaire blogger and try to get him to undergo two years of reform.

In addition to Volvo stabbing itself in the back, there is also GAC Group's Zhiji Auto.

Dragon Kingdom Magic City.

Pudong Exhibition Center.

Jiang Ye, the newly appointed CEO of SAIC Group who succeeded Chen Hong, did not listen to the opinions of the group’s veterans and insisted on holding a new car launch conference for Zhiji Auto on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Everything went normal at the press conference. The performance of the car was average. Although it could not compare with the ultra-high configuration of the Pilot 001, its acceleration from 2.94 to km/h reached seconds, which was barely enough.

But as the press conference progressed, Jiang Ye's speech deviated further and further from the topic.

"Before everyone officially pays the deposit, I have something to say to everyone, which I have been holding back for a long time."

"We all know that our competitors have already reduced the price of a million-dollar sports car to 20.9 yuan. The current new energy vehicle market is very competitive and we are also facing severe challenges."

"After the concept of electric vehicles was proposed, SAIC Motor immediately set up a project team and invested thousands of engineers."

"In the past seven months, every member of our team has worked very hard. Some of them even missed the birth of their own children, and some even had a high fever of 39 degrees, but still insisted on being on the front line."

Jiang Ye was still immersed in his own world, speaking with great emotion.

He didn't notice at all that the audiences were all looking puzzled. No one present had expected that in the 21st century, there would still be people trying to use moral blackmail.

"We also have employees who have been so ruthless that they have sent their young children to boarding schools where they can only see them once a week."

"There's more..."

Jiang Ye didn’t know whether the audience shed tears or not, but he felt that he was about to be moved by his own heartfelt story.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, someone at the press conference stopped working.

"Fuck you, the child was born late, worked with a fever, and was sent to boarding school. Why did they do this? Don't you have any idea?"

The press conference was held in a closed space, and it was just a small conference hall, so the audience’s shouts were heard by everyone in the room.

The most important thing is that he was close to the microphone, and his original words were recorded by the microphone and spread across the Internet.

All of a sudden.

Countless people suddenly woke up.

"I was almost led astray. Isn't it because of your group's rules and regulations that they stick to their posts?"

"I am holding my post at the front line despite having a fever. Listen to me, is this something a human being can say?"

"Boss Jiang, please don't be sentimental from the perspective of a leader. I'm just a worker. I stayed at my post even though I had a fever. It's all for the few hundred dollars in salary!"

“Zhiji Auto should change its name. I suggest changing it to PUA Auto!”

Jiang Ye was confused by the restlessness of the audience and the dissatisfaction of the audience in the live broadcast room. He had no idea why these people were so dissatisfied. Was it because the manuscript was not touching?

its not right.

He looks quite touched!
Jiang Ye was at a loss, unable to figure out the problem. He was still eating melon seeds at home. Chen Xing, who was watching the live broadcast of a competitor, stopped eating and looked at Chen Yapeng beside him and said:

"Dad, you didn't secretly pay Jiang Ye to pay you, did you? Why do I feel like he has a kind of aesthetic sense of brainstem loss?"

When making mobile phones, other friendly competitors used all means and caused endless troubles.

Now that cars are being manufactured, it turns out that not only are these car company CEOs incompetent, they are dumber than each other. Chen Xing even suspects that Chen Yapeng secretly gave money to them.

Chen Yapeng smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "I didn't. Who knows what's wrong with him? He actually wrote the article from the perspective of a leader. Who would sympathize with him? He's really stupid."

“It’s a bit abnormal indeed.”

Chen Xing nodded slightly.

I thought making a car was hell mode, but it turned out to be easy mode.

If he had known that rival car companies would stab themselves in the back and have their IQs collectively down, he should have released the Pilot 001 long ago instead of waiting for his opponents to make a move.
