Reborn: Billionaire in College

"Recently, the Dongjiang City Public Security Bureau launched a crackdown operation. With the assistance of police from many places, seven suspects were arrested and several mobile phones and computers used in the crime were seized. Upon investigation, it was found that the 'Internet water army' criminal gang was involved in 'reposting likes and comments' on fake platforms. The content covered social opinions, hot events, celebrity images, advertising promotion and account operations, etc., which seriously disrupted the network ecology."

One day in August, an ordinary piece of news inexplicably topped the trending search lists on multiple platforms including TikTok, Toutiao, and Weibo.

In the past, this kind of information would not even be qualified to be on the hot search list, let alone climb to the top of the hot search list.

"What's going on? Is there no news to report?"

"What are you talking about upstairs? Haven't you noticed that there are fewer trolls online now?"

"Dongjiang Public Security Bureau, hehe, I guess it was Renren.com that took action. My blind guess is that it's probably the dispute between gasoline and electric vehicles a while ago."

"Now that you mention it, it seems to be true. The two sides were arguing fiercely, but suddenly one side fell silent."

Ordinary people are indifferent to water army accounts and think that they have little to do with themselves, but in fact, this is not entirely true.

Fake traffic and manipulation of public opinion will disrupt the order of online public opinion and mislead public judgment and cause a crisis of social trust.

At the very least, it will damage the corporate image and market competitiveness, and at worst, it will disrupt the digital economy and market order.

Afterwards, Chen Pingjiang also obtained relevant information of the instigating company, but the other party was very covert and subcontracted it to the water army company in the name of "advertising fees" and "promotion fees". Even if it was discovered, they could still claim to be ignorant of it.

"Let's leave it at that. We can just give a warning, but there's no way we can hurt your bones."

Yin Yunxiang was a little angry: "These car companies must have discussed this privately, otherwise how could they act together?"

Chen Pingjiang smiled and shook his head. He was quite open-minded.

"It doesn't matter if you know how to do it or not. If you want to fight back against your opponents, you can only defeat them fairly in the market. Let them feel the pain and force them to follow suit and make electric cars. Then the competition between gasoline cars and electric cars will collapse on its own."

Yin Yunxiang smiled bitterly and thought, maybe Chen Pingjiang could be the boss.

It's strange that a 30-year-old young man can be so calm.

After a pause, Yin Yunxiang said, "What I didn't expect this time is that the S9 has received more attention overseas than the S1. People in many countries are looking forward to us selling the car as soon as possible."

In comparison, Chinese people prefer SUVs, but foreigners prefer sedans or pickup trucks.

The ultimate sense of technology, super high cost-effectiveness, and 900 horsepower are enough to surprise people.

Especially... before, the only electric car that more people were familiar with was Tesla, but now a Chinese company has suddenly emerged and its products are comparable to Tesla's.

What's more, this person is an old acquaintance that everyone knows.

Chen Pingjiang nodded. "Didn't someone use the ports to transport cars to Kazakhstan and Russia last year? You can start planning and find local dealers. If you don't have relevant connections, you can contact Orange Technology for assistance. Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and South America are all good locations. The temperature there is higher, which is suitable for the development of electric cars."

"Oh, Mr. Chen, there's one more thing. AutoNavi's Cheng Wei approached me a while ago and asked us to help them develop a pure electric car for online car-hailing drivers, with a price range of 10 to 15 yuan. This is a big deal, and I can't make up my mind."

After thinking for a while, Chen Pingjiang said, "Let's go back first. Don't get involved in the low-end car market for now. Just make the high-end cars you have."

…………

The morning light in the northwest desert had not yet penetrated the clouds, but the viewing platform at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center was already packed with people.

The live broadcast barrage scrolled wildly on the screen - "The first flight of the Chinese version of SpaceX!"

“How powerful is liquid oxygen and methane?”

Faced with this situation, although Chen Pingjiang was a little annoyed, he could do nothing about it.

As a former secretary and current CEO of Galaxy Aerospace, Xu Rui naturally knows the character of the big boss.

It's actually no big deal to scold someone, as you'll forget about it after you're done. But the thing is, if you hold it in and don't say it, that's really annoying.

"Mr. Chen, I want to review this matter. It's all the fault of the public relations department. I am willing to take the main responsibility."

Peng Xiaobo had not expected this to happen, and he quickly explained, "Boss Xu and I have been in Jiuquan these past few days making final preparations for the launch, and the Beijing headquarters has made its own decision."

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Rui made up his mind and asked, "Director Chen, how about I go and clear the place?"

Chen Pingjiang glared at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? That's CCTV. How dare you clear the scene? They can film anywhere. We came here to give you face. Do you have any reason to chase them away? Besides, it's early morning now!"

"That……"

Hearing this, Chen Pingjiang waved his hands helplessly. At such an important moment, he had no reason to blame anyone.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal, just know it once you know it. I'm mainly worried... if the launch fails, there will be all kinds of mocking voices on the Internet. I personally don't care, but I'm worried that the designers and engineers of Galaxy Aerospace can't stand it and lose their mentality."

According to Chen Pingjiang's original intention, the first test launch of the Deep Blue 1 rocket was not to be put under the media's magnifying glass for everyone to watch.

He was not afraid of failure and had even made psychological preparations, but he could not bear to see these engineers being looked down upon by the general public.

"No? Our internal expectation is only 70% success rate. It would be a pity if we succeed, but we can try again if we fail. As the saying goes, don't be arrogant when you win and don't be discouraged when you lose."

Chen Pingjiang nodded, "As long as you can bear it, it's fine. How are the preparations going?"

He had arrived in Jiuquan the night before with the purpose of witnessing the launch of the first rocket named after him.

The feeling after this incident was even more exciting than when the Orange mobile phone was launched and the Kyushu S1 sold so well.

The infinite universe and the vast starry sky have always been the future that mankind has longed for.

When Peng Xiaobo mentioned this, he felt relieved as if he had survived a disaster, and he quickly said, "There were problems during the assembly of the rocket when it was transported here, but they have now been resolved."

"Tell me about it?" Upon hearing this, Chen Pingjiang's heart tightened.

This is no small matter. A slight mistake may result in the failure of a launch, leaving the entire nation to enjoy a grand fireworks display.

"The insulation layer failed to provide vacuum, causing the temperature gradient in the B3 area to exceed the standard and methane to gasify." Peng Xiaobo smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, we quickly started the backup circulation pump and increased the flow rate to solve the problem."

Fortunately, it was discovered and resolved early.

Otherwise, the six versions of the preset announcements released by the Gongguan team on social media would have to be withdrawn and replaced with a text stating "postponed due to technical reasons."

This is something no one wants to see. (End of this chapter)
