Technology company, I will become the light of China!

After Masik bowed and thanked the audience, the Tesla Model S conference, which attracted much attention from the world's capital, also ended. The global automotive vested interest groups breathed a sigh of relief. Tesla's popularity finally allowed them to sleep well.

Since the price and configuration of the Pilot 001 were announced, it is no exaggeration to say that the global automotive vested interest groups and related capital consortiums have been holding meetings to seek ways to counter it.

No one expected that the million-level coupe performance of the Pilot 001 would only cost 200,000 to 300,000 Dragon National Currency.

As the facade of the heavy industrial economy, no country wants to give up or abandon the automobile easily.

Because the strength of a country can actually be roughly inferred from the degree of development of its automobile economic system.

A country with the qualifications to independently build cars is equivalent to having the ability to independently build tanks, aircraft, and ships.

If it is impossible to independently build cars, it means that the heavy industry foundation is weak.

Since Longguo is located in the "Monster House of East Asia", most of its neighbors have the ability to build cars independently. Many Chinese people feel that it is nothing to be able to build cars, but in fact, it is not. Being able to build cars means being an industrial power.

Although there are 233 countries recognized by the United Nations in the world, at least 200 of them cannot build cars independently, and even do not have a decent main battle tank.

Yes!

Not even a main battle tank!

Some well-known scholars have found that if the five permanent members no longer export weapons and ammunition, the price of guns and bullets per gram on the earth will instantly surpass gold.

For this reason, heavy industry is an industry that every country must develop, and automobiles are naturally very important as an economic facade.

…

While the vested interest groups in the West are resting and catching up on their sleep, the vested interest groups in the island countries and car companies are having sleepless nights.

Why do you say that?

Japanese cars focus on fuel saving.

New energy vehicles focus on saving money.

Although the two characters are different, saving fuel and saving money have the same meaning. Saving fuel is actually saving money.

Whether Masick wins or Chen Xing wins, Japanese cars that focus on fuel efficiency and durability are destined to be reshuffled.

Want to avoid being reshuffled?

Then you can only go all out!

The top leaders of the island country, together with the vested interest groups, have increased the budget for "hydrogen energy vehicles" and want to redefine "new energy vehicles".

At this time, in Aichi Prefecture, the island country, hundreds of engineers at the Toyota Group's automobile research and development base have finally made a decent hydrogen energy car after half a month of sleepless work.

It provides energy through "hydrogen energy batteries", which is a bit similar to removable batteries, except that it is cylindrical and has a handle on the top for easy disassembly and installation.

In the test site area, Takeo Akasaka, the engineer in charge of vehicle testing, trotted all the way to the chief engineer Yuhei Matsutani and said: "The hydrogen energy vehicle has passed the preliminary test. Do you want to install the hydrogen energy battery?"

"Install."

Yuhei Matsutani said in a deep voice.

"Hey!" Takeo Akasaka nodded in response, and ran back to direct other engineers to open the protective box of the hydrogen energy battery.

As the black protective box opened, three hydrogen energy batteries were placed inside.

"Assemble it."

Takeo Akasaka commanded.

As soon as the words fell.

He silently stepped back a few steps.

Don't think that the little bastards don't know the dangers of hydrogen energy batteries. They know better than anyone that this thing is a small hydrogen bomb.

You read it right, it's a small hydrogen bomb!

Although it is dangerous, to be honest, hydrogen energy is indeed the most inexhaustible green energy known so far, because water contains hydrogen, which can be extracted by electrolysis.

As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a person to death. Several engineers did not dare to say no. They carefully picked up the hydrogen energy battery, came to the rear groove of the car, aligned the insertion end and pushed it in, then twisted the battery to the right, and heard a "click" sound, and the hydrogen energy battery was locked and fixed.

As the three hydrogen energy batteries were installed, the driver of the hydrogen energy car also swallowed his saliva, but there was no choice but to sit in the car and turn on the power switch. Fortunately, everything was normal, and the dashboard and the central control screen were powered on.

"Go around the test site, and then drive the car to the collision test area."

Takeo Akasaka gave the order.

"Okay."

Although the driver was nervous, he still went ahead.

In the current employment environment, he can't lose this high-paying job. Although his life is in danger, he also has a high insurance policy. If there is any accident, he can leave a compensation of 5 million US dollars for his wife and children.

When Takeo Akasaka and other engineers left, the driver Tetsuji Hiraga also fastened his seat belt and placed his foot on the accelerator pedal.

He skillfully engaged the forward gear, and the handbrake automatically popped up. Then he lightly tapped the accelerator pedal and began to accelerate slowly. When he reached the yellow line of the test, he first stopped the vehicle and then turned on the vehicle's racing mode.

"Boom--"

The simulated sound waves roared freely.

The car body shot forward at high speed like an arrow, and the speed measuring equipment on both sides of the road recorded the speed in real time and fed it back to Toyota's back-end data center.

"29 hours, 0.7 seconds."

"60 hours, 1.5 seconds."

"100 hours, 2.599 seconds."

"2.599 seconds!"

"It's 2.599 seconds!"

Toyota's data engineers shouted excitedly. This is a record that has never been reached in the world. It is estimated that no one will believe it if it is said that it can accelerate from 0 to 100 meters in 2.599 seconds.

Listening to the shouts from the intercom, Matsutani Yuhei couldn't help but clenched his fist and said: "In the field of energy release, hydrogen energy is three times that of gasoline, and the performance of the car can be maximized."

"Since it is now involuted, why don't we also involute our friendly competitors and let them see that our Toyota Group is not only good at making fuel vehicles, but also hydrogen energy vehicles." Akasaka Takeo licked his face and gave a thumbs up.

As he spoke, his eyes occasionally glanced at Nishikawa Takahiro on the side, who was the boss of their Toyota Group.

"Ms. Junhui, with a 0-100 acceleration of 2.599 seconds, our hydrogen energy car definitely has a very high investment value, and it can even reshuffle the automotive field in the future. What do you think?"

Nishikawa Takahiro ignored the speeches of Akasaka Takeo and Matsutani Yuhei, and his eyes were always on Miyazaki Junhui.

Miyazaki Jun'e represents the Miyazaki family, which is an ancient family of the island country, a bit similar to the chaebols of the peninsula.

Those who are familiar with the history of the island country know that they have a family that has influenced thousands of years, called the Fujiwara family.

How powerful is the Fujiwara family?

It is also similar to the modern peninsula chaebols.

Although the Fujiwara family has a strong foundation, there is no thousand-year-old family that will not fall. Even the five surnames and seven families in ancient Longguo have lost their former glory.

The decline of the Fujiwara family can be traced back to the collapse of the equal-field system and the prevalence of Bushido.

In the Heian period of the island country, the equal-field system collapsed, land was annexed, and the nobles took the good land for private use, similar to landlords.

In ancient times, when there were fields, naturally someone needed to guard the family property, so the nobles established their own private self-defense armed forces, and the island country samurai also stepped onto the historical stage.

Due to the lack of restrictions, these local samurai gradually became stronger than the national army. Due to the "Double Emperors' Struggle", the samurai forces ushered in an epic rise in strength. The Fujiwara clan was liquidated by the "Genji" and "Heike", and only a small number of them escaped liquidation by hiding their identities and going far away.

As the old saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Fujiwara clan is dead on the surface, it has always been there. The Miyazaki clan is the largest branch force.

Today's Miyazaki clan not only has a deep layout in the fields of information communication and finance, but also invests in medical care and education. The purpose is to restore the family's former supreme glory and finally change the Miyazaki clan back to the Fujiwara clan.

Although Nishikawa Takahiro is the president of the Toyota Group, he does not have an ancient family background and does not understand the strength of the Miyazaki family.

But as a businessman, he naturally knows how to read people's expressions.

Miyazaki Junhui was able to join the island country delegation and go to Longguo to participate in the "5G Network International Negotiation Conference", which shows that her identity, or the power behind her, is not simple.

Otherwise, she would not be qualified to attend the meeting just because she is the daughter of Miyazaki Yu, the CEO of Neon Telegraph Communications Company. After all, no consortium would be willing to miss the opportunity to "show off" internationally.

"What is its range?" Miyazaki Junhui did not answer Nishikawa Takahiro, but asked about the vehicle's mileage.

The range is directly related to the driving experience. No one wants to change the battery after driving a few hundred kilometers.

"One hydrogen energy battery has a range of 400 kilometers, and three batteries are 1,200 kilometers. This is the real range." Nishikawa Takahiro introduced patiently.

"If it runs out of power, does the owner need to remove the battery himself?"

"The owner does not need to replace it. We are going to invest 2 billion US dollars to build a battery replacement station. At that time, the staff will manually replace it for the owner."

"I see."

While the two were asking and answering, Hiraga Tetsuji had already driven the hydrogen energy car into the wading section, and the water was half a meter deep.

"Shua——"

The water on both sides of the road splashed.

"Safely passed the wading section."

The engineer in the background reported the situation. While he was talking, the hydrogen-powered car had already entered the gravel area, which was a test of the vehicle's suspension system and chassis.

Because of the bumps, the vehicle's suspension system needs to withstand greater impact and vibration. A top-level suspension system is enough to make the vehicle feel like walking on flat ground on the gravel section.

At the same time, the excellent chassis firmness and protection performance can prevent the splashing of gravel from damaging the bottom of the vehicle.

"The gravel section passed."

"The climbing section passed."

"The downhill section passed."

...

"The slippery section passed."

After a series of road tests, the hydrogen-powered car passed almost perfectly.

You have to know that Japanese cars are fuel-efficient and durable, which is not a joke. Toyota Group is one of the few companies in the world that can independently build cars.

Let's put it this way, as long as the Arab countries in the Middle East buy Toyota Group and move their headquarters there, the country that buys it will instantly become an industrial power and join the ranks of countries that can independently build cars.

Hiraga Tetsuji breathed a sigh of relief, and after driving the vehicle into an open area, he quickly handed it over to Toyota staff.

"The vehicle was handed over normally."

"The vehicle data is normal."

"Turn on the automatic driving mode."

"Vehicle No. 2 is ready."

The engineers trotted away, and when the first hydrogen energy car was driving in a circle automatically, the second hydrogen energy car was catching up with it at a speed of 120 yards, and then hit the rear of the first hydrogen energy car hard.

On the other side.

Listening to the test content, Nishikawa Takahiro explained to Miyazaki June: "In the past, our hydrogen energy vehicles could not be put into use because of safety, but now we have developed a unique exhaust mode that can prevent the vehicle from being used in the event of an impact. When the time comes, the hydrogen energy in the battery will be discharged instantly..."

"boom--"

Before he could finish his words, a deafening explosion resounded throughout the testing site.

It's not over yet.

"Boom boom boom——"

After several explosions, a black mushroom cloud rose. Not only Nishikawa Takadai was stunned, but Miyazaki Sumie was also stunned.

Is this Toyota’s hydrogen energy vehicle?

Is this driving a car or firing a hydrogen bomb?

If there was a car accident, wouldn't the ashes of both the passengers and the driver be left?

Nishikawa Takahiro's face instantly turned pale. He pressed the intercom and roared like a wild beast: "Find out the cause immediately!"

"Hey!"

The other end of the intercom responded quickly.

Nishikawa Takahiro looked sideways at Miyazaki Sumie, then changed his face and said: "Miss Sumie, please listen to my explanation. This was purely an accident. There was no explosion in our last test."

"How can we dare to invest in your Toyota Group when its safety performance is so unstable?" Sumie Miyazaki shook her head.

Although driving is dangerous, driving a hydrogen energy vehicle is no longer dangerous, but "deadly".

This death is not an ordinary death. Like fuel vehicles and lithium battery vehicles, even if they spontaneously ignite and explode, they can still leave you something. But this hydrogen energy vehicle will leave you with ashes in the air. Who dares? Driving a hydrogen car like this?

"This is really an accident. Miss Junhui, please wait a moment. We are investigating the cause of the accident." Nishikawa Takahiro hurriedly reassured.

If it were before, he might have dismissed it, but Toyota Group now has too many bad debts, and its inventory has reached one million vehicles. Downstream companies ask for balance payments from time to time, and he must attract investment as soon as possible.

"I hope you can give a reasonable explanation." Miyazaki June glanced at him and said.

The reason why she didn't leave was not only because she was secretly instigated by Chen Xing, but also because she wanted to find out the progress of the research and development of hydrogen energy vehicles.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

If the opponent's research and development progress can be understood, then Longxing Group can provide a targeted attack.

Nishikawa Takadai didn't know the little Jiujiu in Miyazaki Sumie's heart. He only knew that if he wanted to prevent the Toyota Group's capital chain from breaking, he could only turn to the capital group for help.

Once the capital chain is broken, the consequences will be extremely serious. Even Nokia, the former king of the mobile phone field, cannot withstand the fate of a broken capital chain and eventual demise.

…

After about half an hour.

Matsutani Yuhei, chief engineer of Toyota hydrogen energy vehicles, jogged closer, holding a data report in his hand.

"Checked it out."

"The impact speed was too fast, which caused the hydrogen energy battery's sensor to fail to be triggered, and the hydrogen energy was not discharged in time. We can reduce the speed and impact intensity of the No. 2 test vehicle."

As soon as he finished speaking, he added: "We have recorded the test failure this time. In only half a year, we will definitely be able to overcome this technical bottleneck and make hydrogen energy vehicles a new generation of clean energy vehicles."

"Miss Sumie, look..." Nishikawa Takahiro looked at Miyazaki Sumie and rubbed his hands back and forth. He was very nervous now.

"Crash again."

Miyazaki Sumie said.

"ah?"

Matsutani Yuhei was stunned. Before he could react, Nishikawa Takashi quickly emphasized: "Go and retest. This time, slow down the speed to 80 yards and have a look."

"Hey!"

Matsutani Yuhei immediately went to make arrangements.

Not a moment.

The two hydrogen energy vehicles moved to the No. 2 test site. The No. 1 test site had been blown out of a deep pit due to the explosion.

As two hydrogen energy vehicles collided again, perhaps it was because of the speed of the vehicles that there was no explosion.

The rear of the front car was smashed, and a hydrogen energy battery was crumbling. The hood of the rear car was dented and convex, and the front bumper area was obviously damaged.

"Test completed, no explosion." the intercom announced excitedly.

Nishikawa Takahiro looked equally excited and quickly looked at Miyazaki June and said: "There was no explosion, Miss June, what do you think? Hydrogen energy vehicles are definitely the mainstream of the future. They are not only green and environmentally friendly, but also have the best performance among all energy sources." "

"good."

Miyazaki June nodded slightly.

There was no collision or explosion at a speed of 80 yards, which shows that the "extreme speed energy dissipation technology" developed by Toyota Group is still somewhat useful, and maybe it will be possible to realize safe and stable hydrogen energy vehicles in the future.

"What about investment?"

Nishikawa Takahiro rubbed his hands nervously.

He really has no money, and the Toyota Group has no money in its books. If he borrows money from banks, he can only barely fill a small hole.

The sudden loss of the Dragon Country market and the impact of new energy vehicles have caused Japanese car companies such as Toyota Group, Honda Group, Mitsubishi Group, and Nissan Motor Group to see their capital chains about to break.

Now, in order to prevent their companies from going bankrupt, almost all of these Japanese car companies are using their connections to find new capital injections.

For example, Honda Group and Nissan Motor Group found the Sumitomo Group, the Mitsui Group and the Fuji Group, which barely stabilized downstream companies and prevented the capital chain from breaking.

Mitsubishi Group, on the other hand, sacrificed some other industries, such as heavy industry machinery and chemical energy, because of its large family and business, and barely managed to retain the automobile group.

Now only the Toyota Group is left, and no consortium is willing to help.

Of course, it's not that the island country's consortium is unwilling to help, but because the debt owed by the Toyota Group is too exaggerated. It is conservatively estimated to be hundreds of billions of dollars. No consortium dares to take action. Even the top leaders of the island country have not said that they will lend directly through banks. way to save.

Nishikawa Takahiro now regrets it. He thought that Japanese cars could last for a long time and make stable profits, so he invested money and took out loans to build a car factory regardless of the cost.

But when the tide of the times hit and all the bad debts of the Toyota Group were revealed, he suddenly realized that he had taken too big a step and was in trouble.

"I'll go back and tell the truth."

Sumie Miyazaki did not give a clear answer, which made Takahiro Nishikawa a little discouraged. If the Miyazaki family did not help, he would have no choice but to turn to international capital, and the price he would pay would be unimaginable.

"Let's go here tonight. It's already early in the morning. I hope I can see better hydrogen energy vehicles next time I come."

"Then I'll give it to you."

"Please stay."

"Okay then, walk slowly, Miss Junhui."

The two chatted while walking, and after a few simple polite words, Miyazaki Sumie also returned to her Audi car.

Under the watchful eyes of Takahiro Nishikawa, Yuhei Matsutani, Takeo Akasaka and other engineers, he drove directly away from the automobile research and development base.

After driving about 3 kilometers, Miyazaki found an open-air parking lot and took out the black box from the passenger storage box.

Opening the box, you will find a Cuican X2. Different from other Cuican X2s, this Cuican X2 is also equipped with an external antenna.

Sumie Miyazaki opened the folding screen, switched to tablet mode, straightened the external antenna, and then opened the encrypted mailbox on the desktop to quickly write the content of the email.

…

And on the other side.

Dragon Kingdom Deep City.

In a private room of a star-rated hotel, Chen Xingzheng was chatting and laughing with CEOs of new energy vehicle companies such as Li Xiang, He Peng, and Li Bin.

Originally, they were all planning to leave Shen City and return to their group headquarters.

But Chen Xing's words forced them to change their itinerary.

After three rounds of drinking, the topic in the private room developed from casual conversation to business. Even if Li Xiang drank more than a dozen drinks, he did not dare to feel drunk for fear that he would miss important information.

"Have you all seen the Tesla Model S press conference? It's 170,000 yuan all-inclusive. The manufacturer's guide price is equivalent to 150,000 yuan, a gap of nearly 60,000 yuan. It makes me punch on cotton. Masik is beyond me this time. Expected it." Chen Xing drank all the white wine in his glass with a worried look on his face.

However, the seemingly sad face and eyes did not show much worry, but looked at Li Xiang, He Peng and other bosses from time to time.

Li Xiang and He Peng were not stupid either. Chen Xing made it clear that he was just trying to lure them into talking.

"I watched the press conference. Although the Tesla Model S is not as good as the Pilot 001, it is cheaper than the Tesla Model S. The price of 170,000 yuan is enough to attract a large number of users in the lower-tier market."

"I thought it was a guide price, but I didn't expect it to be an all-inclusive price. Masik's price war is brilliant, but I have a question, is this price really profitable?"

"I'm also puzzled. The reason why Pilot 001 can keep the price so low is because it's all made by itself. But Tesla is extremely dependent on downstream suppliers. I really don't understand how it can achieve this price."

"Actually, it's very simple." Chen Xing looked at the glass filled with wine and replied: "That's the end of capital, which gave Tesla unprecedented technical and financial support."

"capital?"

"What capital?"

Li Xiang and others were confused.

Chen Xing smiled calmly, shook his head and said: "I am also guessing, but since Tesla wants to start a price war, I also need to accompany it to the end. But unfortunately, I position the Pilot car in the mid-range market, so I can only..."

He paused for half a second. He Peng's brain was very fast and he quickly responded: "I just want to build a car with a price of 120,000 to 150,000. Mr. Chen, wait for the good news, and I will win the Tesla for you."

"What a coincidence, so am I."

"Hey me too!"

The bosses at the dinner table expressed their opinions one after another.

They finally figured out Chen Xing's purpose in organizing this impromptu dinner party.

Pilot Auto is positioned in the mid-range market, and coupled with the huge backlog of orders, there is no way to enter the sinking market in a short time. The best way now is to seek help from other car companies.

Seeing that Li Xiang, He Peng and others were so motivated, Chen Xing would not treat them badly and raised his glass:

"In this case, it is impossible for me not to take a stand. Let's do this. For the vehicles you manufacture for the sinking market, I will provide lithium batteries, on-board chips and systems at the original price, and I will also subsidize you an additional 5,000 yuan per vehicle. We must keep the price as low as possible. Performance improvements."

Behind the seemingly calm and easy-going tone, Li Xiang and He Peng felt murderous. The conditions given by Chen Xing made it clear that they wanted to kill Tesla.

As Li Xiang and He Peng realized, Chen Xing just wanted to completely suppress Tesla and make the consortium behind Masik suffer.

"Mr. Chen has mentioned this, I must help."

He Peng expressed his stance again.

Li Xiang picked up the wine glass, stood up and said, "Everything I want to say to Mr. Chen is in the wine, I'll do it."

After one cup, you are full of sincerity.

Although it is said that I did it (gān), the word "gan" is polyphonic, and Li Xiang's sentence also means I did it (gàn).

Seeing this, the other bosses in the box also stood up and drank a glass of wine.

"Thank you everyone."

Chen Xing stood up and raised his glass.

"Mr. Chen is so polite. We should be the ones thanking you."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Chen."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

The next second.

Everyone in the box clinked their glasses.

The dinner lasted until 1:30 a.m. When it was over, Chen Xing sat back in the back seat of his Pilot 001. Zhao Siqiu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, looked at Chen Xing through the rearview mirror and asked, "Go back to Sakata Base now?"

"Yes, let's go back."

Chen Xing nodded slightly.

After the car started, he took out his mobile phone to check the unread messages.

During the dinner just now, his mobile phone vibrated a few times, but because there were so many people present, he did not check it immediately.

Now that the dinner was over, Chen Xing also wanted to know who sent the message.

You don't know until you see it. When Chen Xing's only trace of drunkenness dissipated, he thought it was a WeChat message, but it turned out to be an email.

The most important thing is that this is not an ordinary email, but an encrypted email sent by Miyazaki Junhui about the development progress of Toyota Group's hydrogen energy vehicles and the current difficulties.
