at the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>October 28th, 7:00 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Magic City Sports Center, numerous well-known domestic media outlets had gathered to attend the new battery launch event hosted by Fengyi Technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a company established only a month ago,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>one that had not even built a basic organizational framework,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>holding such a large-scale launch event so rashly seemed unwise to many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Fengyi Technology had gained some fame on the internet due to its advertisements,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this reputation was mixed, fundamentally rootless like duckweed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and would vanish as soon as advertising spending decreased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reporters willing to attend were either drawn by the fame of Zhao Zhao Xuebin and Wen Xiang themselves,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or had been paid to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, most reporters felt they were merely going through the motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the other party failed to present a product that was truly eye-catching,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>everyone would simply treat it as a trip to Magic City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(PS: New book seeking flowers, tips, and rating tickets; your support is the author's motivation!)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Apart from the journalists, the only others present at the launch event were representatives from major battery manufacturers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and some independent media personalities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the manufacturers were Xiamen Tungsten New Energy, Shanshan Energy, Mengguli New Materials, Bamo Technology, GEM Co., Ltd., Easpring Technology, Changyuan Lithium, and the emerging enterprise CATL.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These enterprises were all paying close attention to the development of the domestic battery industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Fengyi Technology was merely a small company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the fact that they dared to hold their launch event at the Shanghai Sports Center demonstrated considerable boldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, \"If you don't have the diamond drill, how dare you take on the porcelain work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most companies were still willing to believe that Fengyi Technology might actually have something substantial to offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, they could gauge the true capabilities of their competitor through this launch event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their technology proved exceptional, they would certainly express their intention to cooperate immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if they turned out to be merely peddling fake goods, that would be an entirely different matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the battery manufacturers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there was one other notable attendee: Boss Jia, who had just launched the LeEco Super Phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and was currently building out his own LeEco ecosystem chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Boss Jia was riding high with success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The valuation of the LeEco Group was repeatedly hitting new highs, with LeEco Network, LeEco TV, LeEco Mobile, and LeEco Box all flourishing simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unclear what mindset drove him to attend the launch event of such a small company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, as a billionaire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his presence brought significant attention and heat to the launch event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the international battery manufacturers invited this time, such as Panasonic and Samsung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their seats remained entirely empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, these international giants looked down upon small enterprises like Fengyi Technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and were completely unwilling to send anyone over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the time quickly reached seven-thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst a hubbub from the audience below, the product launch event, hosted by Fengyi Technology at tremendous expense, finally began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Steve Jobs, dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, held the Apple iPhone launch event using PowerPoint presentations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it seemed everyone started copying this style, treating this format as a standard procedure for launch events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, today Fengyi Technology was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right from the start, five refrigerators, five cabinet-style air conditioners, and five 50-inch televisions were brought onto the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, above them hung a large digital timer display glowing with red lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"00.00.00\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the crowd below wondered what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>suddenly, all these appliances started up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had merely been powered on using electricity from a standard outlet, everyone would have simply thought Fengyi Technology was engaging in cheap sensationalism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, those with sharp eyes had already discovered a shocking fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namely, none of the appliances were plugged into wall sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, their plugs were all connected via multi-socket power strips to something resembling a car battery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This battery sat on a wooden table, completely devoid of any wires or other connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, this tiny battery was somehow powering all these appliances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, some people in the audience had already started calculating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large refrigerator typically consumes around 200 watts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five refrigerators would total 1,000 watts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five cabinet-style air conditioners, even at 2.5 horsepower each, would total 9,000 watts for the five units.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the televisions, five 50-inch LCD TVs would consume another 1,000 watts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant the total power consumption of these appliances was approximately 11 kilowatts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a massive power load.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was simply impossible for a standard car battery to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, this black box, even smaller than a typical car battery, was steadily keeping all the appliances running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the entire Fengyi Technology event, there were no PowerPoint slides, no CEO dressed in jeans eloquently discussing performance metrics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were simply using a concrete fact to tell the audience below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our batteries are just this awesome!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Boss Jia, sitting in the audience below, widened his eyes in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be? What is the actual power output of this tiny battery!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of background does Fengyi Technology actually have!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fake, it must be fake, this is magic, it's just a magic trick...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd below reacted with shock, skepticism, and even intense excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was only the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time ticked by second after second at the launch venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>people finally understood the purpose of that digital timer display appearing above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although no one spoke a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, everyone present, reporters included, waited without growing impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour passed, then two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not until two and a half hours had elapsed that the appliances finally ceased operating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the interim, staff permitted certain individuals to inspect the electrical equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Boss Jia ascended the stage; they could be said to have observed everything upon it from close range,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>examining the wire connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some feared this was merely a magic trick, for magic, like miracles, can appear real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, all magic tricks are ultimately false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certain skeptics simply could not believe Dragon Country's battery technology had reached such a level, suspecting Fengyi Technology employed some form of trickery akin to magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they inspected again and again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with many even crawling on the floor to check for any hidden power supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result naturally left them deeply disappointed; there was no additional power source whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>",1085,"2026-06-16T04:10:19.707Z","2026-06-16T04:35:02.051Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","226e8977466427a18d5265166f273bfe32076ca02533295ec7c1242f914143e9","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-43","arms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-chapter-41",328,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Farms-tycoon-starting-with-a-hundred-billion-doll-cover.jpg"]
