"Mr. Chen really wants to keep quiet. If he does, it will definitely make big news. Low-altitude economy, flying cars, what on earth are these?"
Ideal Auto Headquarters Building.
Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh when he saw the announcement forwarded by Longxing Group and issued by the official account of Longxing Heavy Industry.
He is convinced by Chen Xing, and he can make big news almost every once in a while.
Nowadays, the domestic new energy vehicle market is booming and entering a white-hot stage. However, Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company did not choose to participate. He originally thought that Chen Xing, Ren Guofei, and Lei The three bosses of Booth just want to promote the development of domestic automobiles and will not continue to explore in depth.
Now it seems that he was wrong!
He couldn't be more wrong!
People will never give up on cars, but will invest their energy in the field of flying cars with a higher technical threshold and a higher end.
Li Xiang has been playing with cars for more than ten years and has used his knowledge of cars to become one of the top CEOs among new energy car companies. However, he has to admit that he has two eyes on the concept of flying cars and low-altitude economy. A smear of darkness.
How does a flying car fly?
What does the low-altitude economy include?
He didn’t know any 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, the moment they saw the announcement, they were immediately moved. My heart tightened, and I quickly chose to hold an internal meeting of the group.
It’s impossible to say don’t panic. After all, who would have thought that new energy vehicles can really shuffle fuel vehicles?
If you can’t keep up with the times, you will die!
However, what these car company bosses didn’t know was that the emergence of 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 still fly? Are you sure this is not an airplane?"
He was really confused.
He felt that he really couldn't keep up with the times.
Because in his inherent impression, vehicles flying in the sky should be called airplanes, not flying cars.
Moreover, in everyone’s stereotype, cars are four-wheeled vehicles on the ground.
After thinking for a few minutes, he decided to ask Hua Ming, the car chief.
About ten minutes after dialing the internal phone number, Hua Ming, wearing gray overalls, walked into Ren Guofei's office.
“Mr. Ren, are you looking for me?”
Hua Ming wanted to get straight to the point.
Pilot 001 and Hurricane
For example, he has sent the design drafts of SUV models, truck models, bus models, Laotoule models, and low-altitude flying cars to Chen Xing via email.
Chen Xing not only affirmed, but also decided to hold a new energy auto show, so that the world can see who is the leader in the field of automobile manufacturing.
“Well, I’ll ask you to clarify my doubts.”
Ren Guofei said with a smile.
Seeing Ren Guofei's appearance, Hua Ming suddenly felt that the matter was definitely not simple, and asked: "What confusion?"
"Flying car."
Ren Guofei said the purpose, and immediately Then he 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 on earth is this?"
"It turns out to be this. "
Hua Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He thought what Ren Guofei was asking, and then explained: "I don't know about the low-altitude economy, but the flying car is a new type of vehicle."
< br>“What’s the use of it?”
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, just use a helicopter. There is no need to build 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 police lights to clear the way, and they may even run red lights. This exists in itself. There is a certain risk. ”
“But if the emergency vehicle uses a flying car, it can apply for a height, similar to the control tower of an airplane. For example, if you apply for a height of 1,100 meters, only emergency vehicles can apply for this height. Other vehicles can only fly at a low altitude of 1,000 meters.”
"Boss Ren, you can imagine a car flying at an altitude of 1,100 meters. It does not need to obey traffic lights, there is no risk of collision between two vehicles, and it does not need to comply with ground road planning restrictions. How much time can this save?"
Ren Guofei After being asked, I began to think about this question carefully.
If flying cars are what Hua Ming said, then they definitely have potential, and the potential is huge.
Take Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen as an example. The first two cities have strictly restricted license plates because of insufficient long-distance road planning, which can only reduce traffic flow and avoid traffic jams.
But if there are some users who do not take ground roads but take empty roads, will this alleviate the pressure on the city?
The most critical thing is that the utilization rate of airspace resources is very low.
Common commercial carrier aircraft all fly at altitudes above 7,000 meters, and the airspace below 7,000 meters is almost empty.
Assuming that we refer to the model of commercial carrier aircraft, every 300 meters is a road section, and a low-altitude area of 1,000 meters can provide three planable flight routes. The economy generated by this is unimaginable by ordinary people.
"Not to mention, when it comes to ways to make money, Chen Xing is indeed smarter than us."
The moment Ren Guofei figured it out, he couldn't help but admire, he had already approximated Guess what the low-altitude economy is.
If he guessed correctly, this so-called low-altitude economy should be a new economy generated around the development of flying cars, such as logistics and transportation, aerial tours, emergency rescue, etc.
He was also very curious about this visualized blue ocean. He looked at Hua Ming and continued to ask: "Since the potential is so huge, how is the progress of flying cars?"
"Now Debugging dynamic balance."
Hua Ming responded.
The moment he finished speaking, Ren Guofei was a little puzzled and asked again: "Dynamic balancing? Do we have technical personnel in this field in our factory?"
"Yes, they are from Frontier Technology. "
As soon as Hua Ming finished speaking, Ren Guofei suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that Chen Xing held shares in Shencheng Territory Technology Company.
What does Frontier Technology do?
Drones!
And it is a leading company in drones!
This low-altitude flying car can be completely understood as a large drone. If the technical personnel of Frontier Technology assist in the research and development, the advent of the flying car will be just around the corner.
“As expected of a man who has revitalized his company and turned it into a trillion-dollar leader in just three years, his vision is too long-term.”
Ren Guofei was amazed and looked at Hua Ming said: "Unexpectedly, Chen Xing has made another big move. If this is put into commercial use, the global automobile landscape will probably be shuffled again."
"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 a button machine to a smartphone. Although a mobile phone is designed to answer calls and send text messages, who can refuse to use it to listen to music and play games?
If low-altitude flying cars are put into commercial use, the first thing to be eliminated may not be traditional cars, but helicopters with limited uses.
The most widely used field of helicopters is emergency medical treatment. For example, if you need to go to the provincial capital hospital for emergency surgery in a county hospital, it will definitely be too late to take a car, so you can only spend tens of thousands to call a rescue helicopter.
For example, in a remote area, you are unfortunately bitten by a venomous snake, and you happen to know the venomous snake that bit you. At this time, you can make an emergency call and ask the other party to dispatch a rescue helicopter and use the serum as quickly as possible. Delivered.
In addition to medical rescue, wildfire extinguishing, and military modification, there are only a handful of scenarios where helicopters can be used. If you talk about daily travel, it is completely unrealistic, because traveling by helicopter requires applying for a route, and the approval process is extremely slow. It's okay to go out and show off.
After Ren Guofei learned about the low-altitude economy and flying cars, he wanted to ask Huaming about the research and development progress of various new energy vehicles.
The car show they planned was the most critical final decision.
……
At the same time.
The other side.
New Delhi, the capital of ancient Elephant State.
After number theory negotiations, Rebus once again signed a contract agreement with Guxiang’s senior management and regained the property and related businesses that had been confiscated by the rice company.
He did not ask for compensation because he had other purposes for restarting the business. Moreover, after dealing with Ah San for so long, he also knew very well about Ah San’s brain thinking. They really have a character that cannot take any losses. .
If you want compensation now, they will get it back slowly in the future.
Rebus doesn't care about the billions spent. The top priority now is to transport the 10,000-ton die-casting machine staying at the ancient elephant port back to the Dragon Kingdom as soon as possible.
Do the senior officials of Ancient Xiang Kingdom know?
They must know.
But they don’t have to know.
Because once the Longguo automobile industry chain develops, all countries that cannot independently manufacture cars will benefit, including the ancient Xiangguo.
Since it is beneficial to their country, why do they need to know?
Don’t think that whoever hangs out with whomever has to think about 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 mixed with the United States and are willing to give up economic interests and accept military garrison. In the final analysis, they are afraid of the Dragon Kingdom's actions.
If the two families have a good relationship with the Dragon Kingdom, then who will be interested in the Mi Kingdom?
The moment I walked out of Guxiang's conference building and opened the glass door, a clean and sanitary smell, with a faint smell of feces penetrated my nostrils.
Rebus was obviously used to it and didn't cover his nose or anything like that.
"Mr. Lei!"
"Mr. Lei!"
Rebus was just about to get into the vehicle when he heard someone calling him.
The man had sunken cheeks and dark skin. He was wearing an old down jacket and was being stopped by a group of bodyguards.
"Rajesh Romrudo?" Rebus recognized the man at a glance.
When something happened to him in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, it was Rajesh Romrudo who reported the news to Luo Hao, which allowed him to escape safely. Otherwise, he would probably have told the truth here.
Rebus has not forgotten this kindness. He has been inquiring about Rajesh Romrudo. Unfortunately, nothing happened. All the forces he was operating here were uprooted. Asan The means are really not good enough.
“Let him come over.”
Rebus motioned to the bodyguard beside him.
The donor spoke, and Rajesh Romrudo came to Rebus easily. His eyes were moist and he said excitedly: "I never thought I would be able to see you, Mr. Lei, in my lifetime."
When Rajesh Romrudo came closer, Rebus could clearly smell the stink on his body, but he did not dislike it.
"Where have you been this year? I have been sending people to inquire about you, but nothing happened." "Alas!"
Rajesh Rowe Mrudo sighed and recounted his experience during this period.
It turned out that he had tipped Luo Hao about rescuing Rebus. After Rebus left, the police in New Delhi arrested him again and directly educated him for half a year. Until a few days ago, Geniuses are unleashed.
Originally, he was from a high caste, so he didn’t need to do dirty work in prison.
But his situation was extremely special, and he was given special care after he entered. He was asked to do all the dirty work, such as cleaning up feces and clearing sewers. Only then did he change his appearance.
“Thank you.”
Rebus also sighed.
Rajesh Romrudo didn't need to go through this, but he was promoted by him to be responsible for the equipment purchase business of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom. In the final analysis, it was his own fault.
Out of guilt, Rebus patted him on the shoulder and said: "Come back with me, change your clothes, the job and salary will be the same as before, and I will buy you a villa."
“Thank you, Mr. Lei.”
Rajesh Romrudo was very excited.
He was indeed right about the person. He was willing to take risks to follow Rebus because he was sure that this man would be his "bo le". Now he can continue to live a life of being a master.
……
Island country, Toyota Group.
Chairman's Office.
The fierce price war in the Longguo automobile market has also attracted the attention of Nishikawa Guida. During this period, he has been reading the news of Longguo almost every day, always paying attention to market changes.
But when he saw Chen Xing causing trouble again, he suddenly lost his composure.
"Flying cars?"
"Can cars still fly?"
Toyota Group's automobile manufacturing technology is one of the best in the world.
As the head of the Toyota Group, he had never heard that cars could fly in mid-air, which subverted his knowledge.
In order to understand the situation, he called Yuhei Matsutani, the chief engineer of his group, and asked about the design principles of the flying car.
However...
Matsutani Yuhei was also confused.
Flying cars?
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. It is impossible for Longguo to commercialize them within two years. Besides, this type of vehicle has average practicality. We don't need it." Worried.”
“Do we have the corresponding technical reserves?” Nishikawa Takada asked the most concerned question.
“No.” Yuhei Matsutani answered truthfully, but then he changed the topic: “But we have hydrogen energy vehicles. As long as the emergency exhaust is improved, we can build safe hydrogen energy vehicles. This is Disruptive new energy."
"The flying car..."
"It's useless."
Before Nishikawa Takada finished speaking, Matsutani Yuhei interrupted him directly. road.
In his opinion, flying cars are not very practical and the initial investment cost is high. There is no need to waste money. The top priority now is to develop hydrogen energy vehicles.
“Are you sure?”
Nishikawa Takada is still worried.
He has been psychologically shadowed by Chen Xing. Now it is said that Pilot Cars will be exported, which scares him to sell Toyota cars urgently to collect as much capital as possible.
“Don’t worry, hydrogen energy has the most potential.” Yuhei Matsutani’s tone was unquestionable. This is the result of several years of hard work and cannot be given up easily.
In addition to Toyota Group, Honda Group, Nissan Motor Group, Ford Group, BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz Group and other car companies have held emergency meetings overnight to discuss the practical applications and future trends of flying cars.
Perhaps Chen Xing would not have thought that just one technical forward-looking guidance would make all the world's friendly car companies feel like they are facing a formidable enemy.
But if you think about it carefully, there is a reason why they reacted so violently.
Although the Longguo automobile market is in full swing, all brands are forced to cut prices, but in the final analysis, the initiators are Chen Xing, Ren Guofei and Rebus.
Shuffling the cards once is not enough. Now they are building a flying car and preparing to shuffle the cards a second time. Who can not panic?
The Ford Group unanimously approved the plan to invest US$7 billion in the next three years to catch up with new energy vehicles and invest another US$10 billion in developing flying cars.
They don’t know the actual application scope of flying cars, but they know very well that since Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company have invested money in it, the Ford Group must follow suit. There will never be another new energy source. Cars and things like that.
……
In the next few days, delegations from Asian countries arrived one after another.
Shenzhen’s leadership team not only met with them together with Chen Xing, but also endorsed their credibility, allowing them to place orders as needed.
Pakistan Railway was the most cheerful. Not only did it place an order for 500,000 Pilot cars, it was also willing to subsidize 10 billion RMB to allow Longxing Group to build a car factory in Islamabad, Pakistan Railway's city.
Will Chen Xing refuse?
No!
He also intends to build overseas factories.
Because when building a factory in other countries, you do not need to pay customs duties. You only need to pay taxes in accordance with local laws.
Pakistan Railway also offers the privilege of duty-free and low taxation.
In addition to Pakistan Railways, Laos, Myanmar, Kuxiang, Singapore and other Asian countries have spent billions, hoping that Chen Xing can build automobile factories in their countries.
Why are they so persistent in building factories?
Very simple.
Want to learn technology secretly!
In the past, Longguo’s automobile manufacturing technology was lagging behind, so it warned foreign car companies around the world that Longguo has more than one billion people and the market development potential is huge. But if you want to enter the Longguo market, you have to find a local Corporate joint venture.
This is also the reason why Ford will look to SAIC, BMW will look to Brilliance Group, and Toyota will look to Guangzhou Automobile Group.
Without a joint venture, you can’t get in.
If there is a joint venture, then there are conditions for learning secretly.
Because of this, it took only a few decades for Longguo to catch up with the century-old gap and join the ranks of independent car-making countries.
With the example of Dragon Country, although small Asian countries are small, it does not mean that they have no ideals. This is why they frequently ask Chen Xing to build factories to avoid the cost of tariffs.
Will Chen Xing agree?
He had no reason to refuse.
The technical content of new energy vehicles is not high, and the difficulties lie in the three aspects of on-board chips, on-board systems and lithium batteries.
Want to build a car?
You have to ask for the chip, right?
You have to ask for a car system, right?
Do you still want lithium batteries?
With technical barriers, Chen Xing is not afraid of these small countries conquering his own technology, so he has no reason to refuse.
In addition to the small countries in Asia, the emirate of Dubai also arrived in Shenzhen on the 8th.
Perhaps many people think that Dubai is a country, but in fact it is not a country in the true sense, but a city, but it is not just a city.
It belongs to the United Arab Emirates. As you can tell from the name, this United Arab Emirates is similar to a federal nature, and Dubai is one of the emirates.
Since it contains the word "国", 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 is also very arrogant. After coming to Shenzhen to see Hurricane X, he couldn’t wait to test it for two laps.
Then without saying a word, he signed an order of 5 billion dragon national currency.
One unit costs 50 million, and 5 billion means 100 units. Chen Xing doesn’t care about that many. If people are willing to buy them at a high price, he will sell them at a high price. After all, the main purpose of super sports cars is not to rip off the poor.
......
Contracts were signed one after another, and Pilot 001 and Hurricane fry.
The delegation not only ordered 1 million Linghang 001 cars, but also invited Chen Xing to open a car factory. The most important thing is that he also discussed the project with the Shencheng leadership team.
"You mean, you want us to build the canal?" Shencheng leaders swallowed, this is a big order!
The most important thing is that due to the increase in U.S. 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 underneath have not earned any money. What money.
You want to build the canal now?
Isn’t this providing help in times of need and umbrellas in rain?
"Yes, we have prepared 20 billion, and we hope you can build a canal of about 190 kilometers for us, leading directly to the Gulf of Thailand." The expression of the Cambodian representative was very serious, not like he was joking.
As we all know, compared to land transportation and air transportation, the cost of sea transportation is the lowest.
There is no canal in Cambodia leading to the sea, so we have been walking across the Mekong River.
If you use other people's canals, you will definitely have to pay taxes. Therefore, Cambodia needs to pay a large amount of taxes to Vietnamese monkeys every year.
In the past, I dared not speak out when I was angry. After all, the other party had a big backer.
But as the Dragon Kingdom becomes more and more powerful, drones are far ahead of the world. Taking this opportunity, Cambodia also wants to get access to the canal. After all, who doesn’t know that the Dragon Kingdom is an infrastructure maniac and it can take action? Basically it can be done.
"20 billion, 190 kilometers." The leaders of Shenzhen did not get carried away by the joy, but responded calmly: "The canal is of great importance. We need to report it to our superiors. Today we will talk about cars first and let's not talk about anything else."< br>
“Please.”
The Cambodian representative nodded in response.
Chen Xing, who was sitting on one side, was thinking about whether it would bring about rapid economic development if Cambodia's domestic canal was built. Should he make arrangements in advance? Maybe the next rising Asian country would be inconspicuous. Cambodia.
