Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 12 Wei Jiang: I want to keep a low profile
In the small country courtyard which used to be quiet and even somewhat depressing, Wei Yonghe and Wei Jiang were sitting under the eaves, feeling very relaxed and comfortable.

The haze was swept away, and Wei Jiang felt relaxed sitting on the recliner.

"Dad, I want to close the auto repair shop in the city"

Wei Yonghe's expression changed instantly, and he shouted harshly:

“I just made a little money and I got carried away!”

"If I don't let you change the name of the store, you're going to close it?!"

As he said this, he was about to get up from his wheelchair and start teaching him a lesson.

"I just noticed that you have changed recently, but I didn't expect you to still be this lazy and greedy person!"

Wei Jiang quickly got up from the recliner, supported the other person with both hands, and explained anxiously:

"Dad, you misunderstood. Why are you in such a hurry? Just listen to what I have to say."

Wei Yonghe was unable to struggle and sat back in his wheelchair, panting, staring at Wei Jiang with a look of disappointment.

"you say!"

Wei Jiang pointed to the brick wall on the right side of his yard and said:

"I want to move the auto repair shop to my home. The yard next door has been abandoned for many years since my grandfather passed away. The yard is large and next to my home, so everything is convenient."

After hearing this, Wei Yonghe's anger finally calmed down. It seemed that he had misunderstood Wei Jiang.

"What's the point of all this? How can there be a car repair shop in this remote village?"

"There are less than 10 households living in our village now, and they are all elderly people. How can we get a car to repair for you?"

When his father asked these questions, Wei Jiang had a confident expression on his face.

He squatted beside the wheelchair and patiently explained:
"Dad, do you think we still need to focus most of our energy on repairing the car now?"

“How many cars do I need to repair to earn 10 yuan?”

Wei Yonghe was stunned by his son Wei Jiang's question. He looked down at the slightly smug expression on his son's face and couldn't help but fall into thought.

What Wei Jiang said was absolutely true. Generally, one can only make a few thousand yuan from repairing a car. How can one make as much as from replacing the battery?

Considering that more and more car owners will need to replace batteries in the future, it really seems unnecessary to repair the car.

Looking at the yard next to him, Wei Yonghe nodded slowly.

"You do have a point, but there's no need to move the store home."

"Dad, you don't understand this."

Wei Jiang leaned closer to his father and whispered:
"Think about it, I guarantee that there is no one else in the world who has the technology to repair power batteries except your son!"

"Should we be more cautious? We can't keep an eye on it 24 hours a day in the city, right?"

"Besides, considering that we are the only one that offers low-cost battery replacement, will those car owners really mind going a little further to come to us to replace the battery?"

Perhaps considering the security factors mentioned by Wei Jiang, Wei Yonghe, who was originally a down-to-earth and simple person, suddenly became worried that the family business might be coveted by others.

"you are right!"

"Now that your restorer is in the store, isn't it possible that someone will find it?"

"You're tired during the day, so send it to the store for me and I'll keep an eye on it at night."

Seeing his father suddenly fall into panic, Wei Jiang patted his father's arm and comforted him:
"Not yet, but I can't say for sure what will happen later."

"So I want to move the store back home. There are only a few elderly people in the village, and there are fewer strangers, so the risk is lower."

Wei Jiang pointed to the gauze on his father's right leg and said:
"Also, this will make it easier for me to take care of you, and you can help me keep an eye on things."

Wei Yonghe had now fully understood Wei Jiang's thinking, and now he completely agreed with his son's idea.

Even though he is reluctant to give up his current Yonghe auto repair shop, compared with his son's future safety, that is nothing.

"Okay, I'll do as you say, the sooner the better."

Seeing that his father agreed, Wei Jiang smiled with satisfaction.

He made this decision after he finished assembling the restorer.

Because of the panel, he will have more and more secrets.

The safety factor will be much higher if these matters are handled in the village.

The essence is just one word: coward. Wei Jiang was cowardly. Before he had enough strength to protect himself and his family, Wei Jiang was unwilling to let the secret be exposed to the outside world too many times.
-
After taking care of his father and putting him to bed, Wei Jiang drove his Wuling out.

Without the financial pressure, he is now looking forward to the next enhancement of Wuling mini.

This car was the first gust of wind that changed his life, and now he just hoped that this wind would blow harder.

[Enhancement mission progress: 728km/1000km]

There are 272km left to complete the reinforcement mission, which is not a very long distance.

The Wuling mini has plenty of range left, so we must try to catch up tonight.

Wuling drove into the ring road, Wei Jiang stepped on the pedal, and the speed instantly increased to 110km/h!

This speed is something that a normal Wuling mini could never achieve. Wei Jiang clearly remembered that before the enhancement, even if he stepped on the pedal to the bottom, the vehicle could only accelerate to 100km/h at most.

After a non-power-oriented reinforcement, the electric system was also slightly strengthened.

There were quite a few cars on the highway at night. In front of Wei Jiang's field of vision, various blue and green license plates flashed from time to time, and many of them were overtaken by Wei Jiang's Wuling!
Wei Jiang was in a relaxed mood, listening to music and scanning every car on the highway to identify the license plate and model.

"The Mercedes-Benz is really stable."

"This Haval is similar to the old man's previous car. It's a pity that the car is gone."

"Hey, I saw the real car, the QX9, the taillights are pretty nice"

"Hey, didn't you understand this lane change? I need to stay out of the way."

Wei Jiang, who was almost hit, decided to overtake the M9 in front of him and continued to push hard.

The instrument panel showed that the speed of Wuling Mini instantly rose to 120km/h, and Wei Jiang calmly overtook M9 from the left.

"Humph, even though I can't afford it! But I'm faster than you."

Wei Jiang snorted angrily, drove into the leftmost lane and continued forward.

The music in the car became more passionate at this time, and Wei Jiang even felt that it was possible to complete the enhanced task tonight.

While Wei Jiang was concentrating on completing the enhanced task, he didn't know that his entire overtaking action was captured by other people's cameras.

In a Douyin live broadcast room that he didn't know, a large number of barrages were quickly scrolling across the screen.

"Wait, am I seeing this right?"

"That's all the M9 is? Is its power not as good as a Wuling?"

"Tietou, you were overtaken by a Wuling mini elderly car!"

"Hahahahahaha, this is so funny"

"Unknown power, stronger when facing strong opponents - Wuling Magic Car"

Dong Datietou, the Douyin car anchor who was sitting in the passenger seat, just noticed the changes in the barrage in the live broadcast room.

Overtaken by Wuling mini?

Dongda Tietou looked up in front of the M9 and saw a cute green mini car in the left fast lane of the highway driving forward at an incredible speed.

"Oh my god! A magical car!"

"Brothers, my car is capable of 100km/h. If I remember correctly, the top speed of the Wuling mini is around 90, right?"

"What on earth is that thing ahead?!"

As a veteran anchor who has been engaged in the live broadcast industry for 4 years, Dongda Tietou knows very well how to create program effects.

“I never thought that I would come across a great car when I was testing the NCA smart driving of the m9!”

"MD! I'm stunned! Is Wuling so awesome?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, some unfamiliar IDs suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room and spoke one after another.

"Turn off the broadcast and stop testing! The best SUV under 1000 million yuan can't even be compared to the Wuling mini at over 3 yuan. How funny!"

"Everyone says that new energy is good, but I think it's just you guys who are paid to hype it up."

"Catch up! Don't be a coward!"

"No one really believes that a lame local car company can make a good car with money spent? Open your eyes and see the world, okay?"
