Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"Mr. Chen is really quiet, but once he does, he will definitely make big news. Low-altitude economy, flying cars, what on earth are these?"

Ideal Auto headquarters building.

Li Xiang looked at the announcement forwarded by Longxing Group and issued by the official account of Longxing Heavy Industry, and couldn't help but sigh.

He was impressed by Chen Xing, who always made big news every once in a while.

Now the domestic new energy vehicle market is in a fierce stage, and Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Dami Company have not chosen to participate. He thought that the three CEOs, Chen Xing, Ren Guofei and Lei Jun, just wanted to promote the development of domestic automobiles and would not continue to explore in depth.

Now it seems that he was wrong!

He is totally wrong!

People will never give up on cars, but will instead invest their energy into the field of flying cars, which has a higher technological threshold and is more advanced.

Li Xiang has been playing with cars for more than ten years. He used his knowledge of cars to become one of the top CEOs of new energy vehicle companies. However, he has to admit that he is completely clueless about the concepts of flying cars and low-altitude economy.

How does a flying car fly?
What does low-altitude economy include?

He knew none of it.

Not only Li Xiang, but also He Peng and Li Bin, two leaders of new energy vehicle companies, as well as BYD CEO Wang Fu, GAC Group CEO Zeng Hong, and SAIC Group CEO Jiang Ye, felt nervous when they saw the announcement and quickly decided to hold an internal meeting of the group.

It is impossible to say that you are not panicking. After all, who could have thought that new energy vehicles can really replace fuel vehicles?

If you can't keep up with the times, you will die!
However, what these car company CEOs did not know was that the emergence of the new concepts of low-altitude economy and flying cars made Ren Guofei, who was far away at the Fengtian Automobile Factory, stunned for a few seconds.

"Flying car, how can a car fly? Is this definitely not a plane?"

He was really confused.

He felt that he really couldn't keep up with the times.

Because in his inherent impression, a vehicle flying in the sky should be called an airplane, not a flying car.

Besides, in everyone's stereotype, a car is a vehicle that runs on four wheels on the ground.

After thinking for a few minutes, he decided to ask Hua Ming, the chief of automobile industry.

About ten minutes after the internal call was made, Hua Ming, wearing gray work clothes, walked into Ren Guofei's office.

"Boss Ren, are you looking for me?"

Hua Ming wanted to get straight to the point.

Pilot 001 and Hurricane X are just his appetizers. As a high-quality talent in the field of automobile manufacturing, he is responsible for the R&D and design of all types of automobiles.

For example, he has already sent the design drafts of SUV models, truck models, bus models, LaToule models, and low-altitude flying cars to Chen Xing via email.

Chen Xing not only gave his affirmation, he also decided to organize a new energy vehicle exhibition to let the world see who is the leader in the field of automobile manufacturing.

"Well, I'm here to ask you for help."

Ren Guofei said with a smile.

Hua Ming looked at Ren Guofei and felt that the matter must be complicated. He asked, "What's the problem?"

“Flying cars.”

Ren Guofei stated his purpose, and then continued, "I just saw an announcement on the official Weibo of Longxing Heavy Industry and Longxing Group, which mentioned low-altitude economy and flying cars. What exactly are these things?"

"So this is it."

Hua Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Ren Guofei was going to ask something, so he explained, "I don't know about low-altitude economy, but flying cars are a new type of vehicle."

"what's it for?"

Ren Guofei couldn't help but ask.

He was very confused about the practical value of flying cars. After all, if you want to fly at low altitude, you can just use a helicopter. There is no need for a flying car.

"There are many uses." Hua Ming smiled and continued, "Take emergency rescue as an example. In the past, ambulances transporting critically ill patients often needed to use police lights to clear the way, and they might also run red lights, which itself poses certain risks."

"But if the emergency vehicle is a flying car, it can apply for an altitude, similar to the control tower of an airplane. For example, if it applies for an altitude of 1100 meters, only emergency vehicles will be able to fly at this altitude, and other vehicles can only fly at a low altitude of 1000 meters."

"Mr. Ren, you can imagine a car flying at an altitude of 1100 meters. It does not need to obey traffic lights, there is no risk of collision between two cars, and it does not need to comply with ground road planning restrictions. How much time can this save?"

Ren Guofei was stumped by the question and began to think about it carefully.

If flying cars are really as Hua Ming said, then they definitely have potential, and the potential is huge.

Take Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen for example. The first two cities have already implemented strict license plate restrictions because the long road planning is not enough, so they can only reduce the traffic volume and avoid the scale of traffic jams.

But if some users do not walk on the ground roads but on the mid-air roads, can this relieve the pressure on the city?
The most critical thing is that the utilization rate of airspace resources is very low.

Common commercial transport aircraft fly at an altitude of more than 7000 meters, and there is almost no air in the airspace below 7000 meters.

Assuming that we refer to the model of commercial transport aircraft, with each 300 meters being a road section, the 1000-meter low-altitude area can provide three plannable flight routes. The economy generated by this is unimaginable for ordinary people.

"It's true. When it comes to making money, Chen Xing is more clever than us."

The moment Ren Guofei figured it out, he couldn't help but exclaim that he had roughly guessed what the low-altitude economy was.

If he guessed correctly, this so-called low-altitude economy should be a new type of economy generated around the development of flying cars, such as logistics transportation, aerial sightseeing, emergency rescue, etc.

He was also very curious about this visualized blue ocean. He looked at Hua Ming and asked, "Since the potential is so huge, what is the progress of the flying car?"

"Adjusting the dynamic balance."

Hua Ming responded.

When the words fell, Ren Guofei was a little puzzled and asked again: "Dynamic balancing? Does our factory have technicians in this field?"

"Yes, it's from Territory Technology."

As soon as Hua Ming finished speaking, Ren Guofei suddenly realized that he almost forgot that Chen Xing held shares in Shenzhen City Territory Technology Company.

What does Jiangyu Technology do?

Drone!
And it is a leading drone company!
This low-altitude flying car can be completely understood as a large drone. If the technical personnel of Jiangyu Technology assist in its research and development, the flying car will be just around the corner.

"As expected, he is the man who revitalized the company and turned it into a trillion-dollar leader in just three years. His vision is really far-sighted."

Ren Guofei was amazed, and then looked at Hua Ming and said, "I didn't expect Chen Xing to come up with another big trick. If this is put into commercial use, the global automotive landscape will probably be reshuffled."

“I also look forward to commercial use.”

Hua Ming smiled calmly.

New energy vehicles have gradually occupied the traditional fuel vehicle market and brought cars into the intelligent era.

This is a bit like the transition from keypad phones to smartphones. Although mobile phones are designed to answer calls and send text messages, who can refuse to use them to listen to music and play games?
If low-altitude flying cars are put into commercial use, the first to be eliminated may not be traditional cars, but helicopters with limited uses.

Currently, the most widely used area for helicopters is emergency medical treatment. For example, if you are in a county hospital and need to go to a provincial hospital for emergency surgery, it would be too late to take a car, so you can only spend tens of thousands of dollars to call for a rescue helicopter.

For example, if you are unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake in a remote area, and you happen to know the snake that bit you, you can call the emergency number and ask the other party to send a rescue helicopter to deliver the serum as quickly as possible.

Apart from medical rescue, wildfire fighting, and military modification, there are only a handful of scenarios where helicopters can be used. If you are talking about daily travel, that is completely unrealistic because you need to apply for a route to travel by helicopter, and the approval process is extremely slow. It is okay to drive it out to show off.

After learning about the low-altitude economy and flying cars, Ren Guofei wanted to ask Hua Ming about the research and development progress of various new energy vehicle models.

The auto show they planned was the most crucial deciding factor.

……

And at the same time.

the other side.

New Delhi, the capital of the ancient Elephant Kingdom.

After several rounds of negotiations, Lei Jun signed a contract agreement with the top management of Guxiang again and regained the industries and related businesses that had been confiscated from the rice company.

He did not ask for compensation because he had other purposes in restarting his business. Besides, having dealt with Asan for so long, he knew Asan's brain very well and knew that he was the kind of person who could not bear any loss.

If you ask for compensation now, they will slowly take it back in the future.

Lei Jun didn't care about the expenditure of more than one billion. The top priority now was to ship the 10,000-ton die-casting machine that was parked at Guxiang Port back to Longguo by sea as soon as possible.

Do the top leaders of Ancient Elephant Kingdom know about this?

They definitely know.

But they don’t have to know.

Because once the Longguo automobile industry chain develops, all countries that are unable to build cars independently will benefit, including the Ancient Elephant Kingdom.

Since it is beneficial to their country, why should they know?
But don’t think that whoever you follow has to consider the big brother. Let’s put it this way, the starting point of all countries is their own country.

For example, the island countries and peninsulas next door are getting along with the United States and are willing to give up their economic interests and accept military deployments. Ultimately, they are afraid of the Dragon Country’s action.

If the two families have a good relationship with Long Country, then who would care about the United States?

As I walked out of Guxiang’s conference building and the moment the glass door opened, a clean, hygienic, and faint smell of shit entered my nostrils.

Lei Jun was obviously used to it and didn't cover his nose or anything like that.

"Mr. Lei!"

"Mr. Lei!"

Just as Lei Bushi was about to get on the bus, he heard someone calling him.

The man had sunken cheeks, dark skin, and was wearing an old down jacket. He was being stopped at the periphery by a group of bodyguards.

"Rajesh Romulo?" Reeves recognized the man at a glance.

When he got into trouble in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, it was Rajesh Romurudo who informed Luo Hao, which allowed him to escape safely. Otherwise, he would probably have died here.

Lei Jun has not forgotten this favor, and has been trying to find out about Rajesh Romulo, but to no avail. The power he had built here has been uprooted. The Indians are really ruthless.

"Let him come."

Lei Jun motioned to the bodyguard beside him.

The sponsor spoke, and Rajesh Romulo came to Lei Bushi easily. His eyes were moist and he said excitedly: "I didn't expect that I could meet you, Mr. Lei, in my lifetime."

When Rajesh Romulo approached, Rebus could clearly smell the stench on him, but he did not dislike it.

"Where have you been this year? I have been sending people to inquire about you, but all my efforts have fallen on deaf ears." "Alas!"

Rajesh Romurudo sighed and recounted his experiences during this period.

It turned out that he had tipped off Luo Hao, causing the plan to rescue Lei Jun to be leaked. After Lei Jun left, the New Delhi police arrested him again and educated him for half a year before releasing him a few days ago.

Originally, he was of a high caste, so he didn't have to do dirty or hard work in prison.

But his situation was extremely special, so he was given special care after he went in. He was made to do all the dirty and tiring work, such as cleaning feces and unclogging sewers. This changed him.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Reeves also sighed.

Rajesh Romurudo didn't have to go through all this, but he was promoted by him and was responsible for the equipment purchasing business of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom. In the final analysis, it was all his own fault.

Feeling guilty, Lei Bushi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come back with me, change your clothes, and keep your job and salary the same as before. I will buy you another villa."

"Thank you, Mr. Lei."

Rajesh Romulo was thrilled.

He was right about the person. He was willing to take the risk and follow Lei Jun because he was sure that this man would be his "mentor". Now he can continue to live a superior life.

……

Island country, Toyota Group.

Office of the Chairman.

The fierce price war in Longguo's automobile market has also attracted the attention of Takahiro Nishikawa. He has been reading news about Longguo almost every day and keeping an eye on market changes.

But when he saw Chen Xing causing trouble again, he suddenly lost his composure.

"Flying car?"

"Can cars fly?"

Toyota Group's automobile manufacturing technology is one of the best in the world.

As the helmsman of Toyota Group, he had never heard that a car could fly in the air. This overturned his cognition.

In order to understand the situation, he called his group's chief engineer Yuhei Matsutani to ask about the design principles of the flying car.

however…

Yuhei Matsutani was also confused.

Flying car?

How do cars fly?

How does this take off?
Is it possible to install four rotors?
How to land?
Do you still want the wheels?

How to maintain balance during flight?
Matsutani Yuhei couldn't figure it out. He shook his head and responded, "Flying cars involve too many technical points. Longguo will never be able to commercialize them within two years. Besides, this type of vehicle is generally not practical. We don't need to worry."

"Do we have the corresponding technical reserves?" Takahiro Nishikawa asked the question that concerned him most.

"No." Matsutani Yuhei answered truthfully, but then he changed the subject and said: "But we have hydrogen-powered cars. As long as we improve the emergency exhaust, we can build safe hydrogen-powered cars. This is a disruptive new energy source."

"The flying car..."

"Weak ribs."

Before Nishikawa Takada could finish his words, Matsutani Yuhei interrupted him.

In his opinion, flying cars are not very practical and the initial investment cost is high, so there is no need to waste money. The top priority now is to develop hydrogen-powered cars.

"sure?"

Takahiro Nishikawa was still worried.

He has been traumatized by Chen Xing's beating. Now he heard that Pilot Motors was going to be exported, which scared him so much that he urgently sold off Toyota cars to recover as much funds as possible.

"Don't worry, hydrogen energy has the greatest potential." Yuhei Matsutani said in an unquestionable tone. This is the result of his several years of hard work and cannot be easily given up.

In addition to Toyota Group, Honda Group, Nissan Motor Group, Ford Group, BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz Group and other automakers held emergency meetings overnight to discuss the practical applications and future trends of flying cars.

Perhaps Chen Xing would never have thought that just one forward-looking technical guidance would make friendly auto companies around the world feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

But if you think about it carefully, there is a reason why they reacted so violently.

Although the Chinese auto market is booming and all brands are forced to cut prices, the ultimate culprits are still Chen Xing, Ren Guofei and Lei Jun.

It’s not enough to shuffle the cards once, and now they’re working on flying cars, so they’re preparing to shuffle the cards a second time. Who wouldn’t be nervous?
Ford Group also unanimously approved a plan to invest US$70 billion in the pursuit of new energy vehicles and another US$100 billion in the development of flying cars over the next three years.

They don't know the actual application scope of flying cars, but they are very clear that since Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Dami Company have invested money to develop it, Ford Group must follow suit, and something like this will never happen again with new energy vehicles.

……

In the following days, delegations from various Asian countries arrived one after another.

The leadership team of Shenzhen City not only met with them together with Chen Xing, but also provided credibility endorsement, allowing them to place orders as needed.

Pakistan was the most forthright, not only placing an order for 50 pilot cars, but also offering a subsidy of 100 billion Chinese Yuan to allow the Longxing Group to build a car factory in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Will Chen Xing refuse?

will not!

He also intends to build factories overseas.

Because when building a factory in other countries, you don’t need to pay customs duties, you only need to pay taxes according to local laws.

Pakistan also offers the privilege of duty-free and reduced taxes.

In addition to Pakistan, Asian countries such as Laos, Myanmar, Kuwait, and Singapore have spent billions of dollars, hoping that Chen Xing can build automobile factories in their countries.

Why are they so persistent in building factories?

Very simple.

Want to steal technology!
In the past, Longguo's automobile manufacturing technology was backward, so it called out to foreign automobile companies around the world, saying that Longguo has a population of more than one billion and a huge market development potential, but if you want to enter the Longguo market, you have to find a local company to form a joint venture.

This is also the reason why Ford turned to SAIC Group, BMW turned to Brilliance Automotive Group, and Toyota turned to GAC Group.

Without a joint venture, you can't get in.

If it is a joint venture, then we will have the conditions to learn secretly.

It is also because of this that it took Longguo only a few decades to catch up with the century-long gap and join the ranks of independent car-making countries.

With the example of Longguo, Asian small countries are small, but it does not mean they have no ideals. This is why they frequently propose that Chen Xing build factories to avoid the costs brought by tariffs.

Will Chen Xing agree?

He had no reason to refuse.

The technical content of new energy vehicles is not high, the difficulty lies in three aspects: on-board chips, on-board systems and lithium batteries.

Want to build a car?

You need the chip, right?

You need the car system, right?

You still need lithium batteries, right?

With technological barriers, Chen Xing is not afraid at all that these small countries will conquer his technology, so he has no reason to refuse.

In addition to the small Asian countries, the Emirate of Dubai also arrived in Shenzhen on time on the 8th.

Perhaps many people think that Dubai is a country, but in fact it is not a country in the real sense. It is a city, but not a simple city.

It belongs to the United Arab Emirates. As the name suggests, the United Arab Emirates is similar to a federation, and Dubai is one of its emirates.

Since it contains the word "country", it must have other meanings. The laws of the United Arab Emirates clearly state that each emirate has its own army, laws and finances.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Dubai has the conditions to become a country, but it is not a country because it is named after the United Arab Emirates.

The prince of Dubai was also very arrogant. After arriving in Shenzhen and seeing the Hurricane X, he couldn't wait to test it twice.

Then, without saying anything, he signed an order for 50 billion Dragon Country Currency.

5000 million for one car, 50 billion is 100 cars. Chen Xing doesn't care about that. If people are willing to buy at a high price, he will sell it at a high price. After all, the main point of a super sports car is not to cheat the poor.

……

After the contracts were signed one after another, Linghang 001 and Hurricane X officially joined the queue for going to sea, but what surprised Chen Xing was that Cambodia actually came up with a big bomb.

The delegation not only placed an order for 100 million Linghang 001 cars, but also invited Chen Xing to open a car factory. Most importantly, he also discussed the project with the Shenzhen leadership team.

"You mean, you want us to build a canal?" The Shenzhen leader swallowed his saliva. This was a big order!
The most crucial thing is that due to the increase in US dollar interest rates, the whole world is in a state of deflation, and consumption capacity is declining day by day. This has caused Longguo's infrastructure construction team to stop working for a long time, and the workers under it have not made any money.

You want to build a canal now?
Isn't this like providing timely assistance and an umbrella in the rain?
"Yes, we have prepared 200 billion and hope that you can build a 190-kilometer canal for us that will lead directly to the Gulf of Thailand." The Cambodian representative looked very serious and did not seem to be joking.

As we all know, compared with land transportation and air transportation, sea transportation has the lowest cost.

Cambodia does not have a canal to the sea, so it has to cross the Mekong River.

If you use their canal, you must pay taxes, so Cambodia needs to pay a large amount of taxes to Vietnam every year.

In the past, I dared to be angry but not speak out, after all, the other party had a powerful backer.

But as Dragon Kingdom grows stronger, its drones are far ahead of the world. Taking this opportunity, Cambodia also wants to strive for the canal. After all, everyone knows that Dragon Kingdom is a infrastructure maniac, and with its help, basically everything can be done.

"200 billion for 190 kilometers." The Shenzhen city leader was not overwhelmed by joy, but responded calmly: "The canal is of great importance, we need to report it to our superiors. Let's talk about cars first today and not talk about anything else."

"Then please."

The Cambodian representative nodded in response.

Chen Xing, who was sitting on one side, was thinking, if Cambodia’s domestic canal was built, would it bring about rapid economic development? Should he make arrangements in advance? Perhaps the next rising Asian country would be the inconspicuous Cambodia.
