Chapter 794: with translation of chapter title
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, his fate has already been decided.
He didn't understand why Yang Lao pointed out this matter at this time.
No matter what, Yang Lao has enough courage to stand up to him on equal footing.
Even if it has national-level support behind it.
Because of confidence, so he disdains to conceal it?
He couldn't figure it out.
But he was quite certain that Yang Lao was not a simple person.
A chill rose in his heart.
He was a bit at a loss for how to continue the conversation.
Yang Qing, however, had no taboos at all.
"You came over today, are you interested in Daxia's electric vehicle industry?"
Ma Yilong gave an embarrassed laugh, then nodded slightly and said bitterly.
"Do you think I still have a chance?"
Yang Qing patted his shoulder.
"Daxia is more open than your so-called liberal democracy."
"You serve the conglomerates, while we serve the people."
"As long as it brings benefits to everyone, we welcome it."
"Of course, you know how it should be done."
"Data, servers—all must be subject to regulation."
"In many places, your car is restricted."
"Unless it becomes a Daxia company and develops independently."
Ma Yilong had just felt, because of Yang Qing's frankness, that he had no chance.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
"Then that's great, thank you, Yang Lao."
"Madou's Daxia company can develop independently, and can even be listed independently in Daxia."
"If the Yang Family is interested, we can also expand the equity stake."
"I want to catch up with Daxia's wave of electric vehicles."
Yang Qing's smile grew warmer, his folds all scrunched together.
"Great, after the press conference I'll introduce you to Hu Lianxi; he can help you carry out the next steps."
The two men's conversation, not avoiding others, left those old joint-venture directors drenched in cold sweat.
Originally they looked down on electric vehicles, but after hearing Yang Qing's words they realized how foolish they were.
This is hardly some niche toy.
This damn thing is a battle of national fate.
Moreover, Ma Yilong actually didn't favor Yingjiang and came to Daxia to hitch a ride on its east wind.
Doesn't that mean the boom in the electric vehicle industry is in Daxia?
There's also robot warfare, sky-space combat, spatial data links…
Each term was breaking through their cognition.
Look at what they're talking about.
"For world peace."
Look at themselves again—industry bigwigs, lying on the merit list, living in drunken dreams.
But don't think that just because they heard and understood, they will change; stop dreaming—change? Is that easy?
Electric vehicles are a new thing; what if they fail? At least I'm still in office, still an industry bigwig; as for the future, let later people worry about it.
After admiring, it's just that; some even plan to go back and file a complaint, knowing full well the harms of Madou yet still helping him bring it into the country—you're selling out the nation.
Yang Qing couldn't care less about these people's thoughts.
A bunch of termites, sooner or later they'll be swept into the historical trash heap.
What's there to care about?
You want them to strive forward?
Don't forget, foreign capital makes up a large part—are you striving for foreign capital?
They lie flat, and there's reasoning behind lying flat.
The press conference began shortly.
Lao Jia fully played his talent for big talk, spouting nonsense.
Moreover, he put out the collision videos.
"You all saw, right? The entire front of the car is gone, but the battery pack remains intact."
"We applied our exclusive battery pack protection technology."
"This is a frontal collision; take another look—this is the side‑impact video."
"The body deformed, kept rolling over, yet the battery pack did not explode or burn."
"Take another look—this is a rear‑end collision, and the battery still did not explode or burn."
"Take another look—this is a mountain road covered in sharp stones, the undercarriage scraped severely, yet the battery pack did not explode or burn."
Yang Qing himself was shocked.
"Holy shit, how damn impressive."
Even if we develop for a few more years, it couldn't possibly be this awesome.
Ma Yilong has already seen the key point.
Yang Lao, Jia Zong's these few car models have a range not exceeding two hundred kilometers.
Compared to the huge car body, the battery pack is very small, and it has also been given special protection.
Yang Qing, after his reminder, also noticed the cat.
Old Jia really knows how to sweet-talk.
I'm afraid he doesn't even plan to sell the ones with a range over two hundred kilometers.
Old Jia's side is still continuing.
Are you all worried that after a collision, the car doors won't open?
Don't worry, everyone.
The car doors can be opened manually; even if the doors jam, we have also prepared window breakers.
And there's the seat belt issue; we have prepared cutters here.
We have prepared as complete a set of rescue equipment as possible.
Of course, someone might say, 'Don't just say it's fine; what if there's an explosion?'
Indeed, we have safe ones, and we also have less safe ones.
For ranges exceeding three hundred kilometers, the danger will relatively increase.
This is the collision standard we recorded that could possibly cause an explosion.
Please take a look, everyone.
Next, the probability of an explosion suddenly increased.
But these are all relatively severe collision situations.
Just as Yang Lao said, cars are not bumper cars; our Ark automobile does not support dangerous driving.
Please follow traffic rules.
Someone counted that, for the Ark Light's hundred-thousand collision test, they crashed over three hundred vehicles.
All kinds of collision styles.
How much does this cost? Ark really put in effort for everyone's safety.
Finally, it seems the lithium iron phosphate battery's safety is still relatively reliable.
With Old Jia's experimental video, many people's worries were dispelled.
Who drives out every day just to crash?
A range of one to two hundred kilometers is enough; the key is that this car is really beautiful, and not too expensive, priced at 390,000; although not cheap, for wealthy people it's still affordable.
Buy one to play with.
Finally, Yang Qing went on stage.
After saying a few pleasantries, Yang Qing started to sabotage the event again.
Just now watching the video, the collisions were very satisfying.
In a moment, when we go to the test drive field to test drive, let everyone freely pick a few vehicles to conduct an on-site test, how about that?
Jia Zong won't mind losing a few vehicles, right?
This isn't Yang Qing suddenly adding drama; it's Old Jia's idea.
The best way to dispel everyone's concerns is on-site testing.
Old Jia looks helpless.
Yang Lao said it like that, so even if it's not possible, we have to make it happen.
In a moment, please everyone head to the test drive field.
There are six hundred sample vehicles on site; everyone can pick freely.
Let's do on-site testing.
Old Jia's method was indeed very successful; in the live-streamed collision test on site, it let many people completely dispel their worries.
This is not nearly as dangerous as Yang Lao said.
As long as you don't directly attack the battery pack, safety can still be ensured.
However, the danger of explosion is indeed shocking.
After a burst of sparks, a vehicle was done for.
Driving an electric vehicle, safe driving is very important.
