Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Daystar Technology wants to cooperate with Persia and North Korea.

This matter must be discussed with Pan Jun.

After all, it involves the production and launch of reconnaissance satellites, which is a relatively sensitive area.

Other people's reconnaissance satellites can easily cost hundreds of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Even if Daystar makes a relatively entry-level version, the price is advantageous, and it will definitely be priced in hundreds of millions of yuan.

Normally, such a large order is worthy of special mention.

However, considering that the customers are quite special, neither Persia, North Korea, nor Venus Technology are prepared to do any publicity work before the launch is successful.

"Mr. Cao, the relevant departments encourage Daystar Technology to develop various international cooperations."

"If it is an ordinary meteorological satellite or geographical mapping satellite, then there is no need to provide special backup to the relevant departments."

“This is considered Daystar Technology’s daily business.”

"But this time is special. They have entrusted part of the production of reconnaissance satellites to you."

"In this case, we hope that Daystar Technology can take some unexpected protective measures."

"For example, if a reconnaissance satellite goes out of control, we have the ability to take it over."

Pan Jun pointedly proposed his suggestions to Cao Yang.

This suggestion is, in all likelihood, not his own.

Under special circumstances, the reconnaissance satellite can be taken over, which means leaving some backdoors on the satellite.

Technically speaking, this is not that difficult.

At that time, some processing will be done directly on the control chip. Once necessary, the satellites in Persia and North Korea can be controlled without anyone noticing.

You can even directly download various information captured by satellites without the other party knowing.

"If this matter is leaked in the future, will it damage China's relationship with Persia or North Korea?"

Cao Yang was silent for a while, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter.

Since Pan Jun proposed it, it will definitely be opened later.

Just like the F35 sold by the United States to many countries, regardless of the fact that it has been sold for money, it seems that the corresponding countries already own these aircraft.

In fact, people can control these planes in the background at any time, even preventing you from taking off.

Similarly, people have also done a lot of tricks in some areas such as anti-aircraft missiles.

If you want to use the equipment sold to you by the United States to fight American aircraft, there is simply no way to achieve this function.

Daystar Technology is now just doing some similar processing like the United States.

After all, no one knows what will happen in the future.

For highly sensitive military products such as reconnaissance satellites, it is normal to have to consider a few things.

"Although the other party may protest, it won't be to the point of affecting the relationship."

"After all, we can also say that these are just to help maintain satellites under special circumstances."

"Under normal use, it will not have any impact on them."

With Pan Jun's words, Cao Yang would naturally stop worrying about it.

Just do it!

If you want to make Daystar Technology bigger and stronger, you can't look ahead and look back.

Anyway, the orders from Daystar Technology are destined to have no relationship with the United States.

Then when Venus Technology does these things, there will be no need to worry about the reaction from the United States.

…

When Venus Technology began to consider more high-end commercial satellite launch projects, Qiantu Q9, which was sent into space by Venus 9, was constantly flooding the screen.

Qiantu Motor spent 200 million yuan, and it must be hoping to maximize the value of this matter in the early stages of launch.

Otherwise, after a year and a half, who would still be interested in learning about this matter?

Therefore, Qiantu Motor has used various methods during this period to demonstrate the performance of Qiantu Q9 to Chinese netizens.

The most exaggerated thing is that inside the Qiantu Q9, they have a built-in solar emitting device to charge the battery.

Although there is no guarantee that the battery will be used all the time, it can at least ensure that it will not run out of power after being turned on every once in a while.

In order to let everyone see the status of Qiantu Q9 in space to the greatest extent possible, Lu Bing also made a special live broadcast.

During the live broadcast, you can turn on the camera on the Qiantu Q9 to watch the scene in space.

Not to mention, this live broadcast attracted many people to watch.

After all, seeing the surrounding scene directly through space vision, no other company except Qiantu Motor does this kind of live broadcast.

Although it is impossible to take particularly high-quality pictures with the pixels of a car camera.

But it is enough to use it on the live broadcast screen.

"Mr. Cao, Qiantu Auto's marketing capabilities are stronger than we imagined."

"I didn't expect that after sending the Qiantu Q9 into space, they would be able to come up with so many tricks."

Zeng Tingting vaguely felt that she seemed to have made a mistake.

At this moment, she was holding the computer and watching the live broadcast of Qiantu Auto for Cao Yang.

"The more popular the Qiantu Q9 is, the more popular our Venus Technology will be. There is nothing to worry about."

Cao Yang is still not worried about the threats Qiantu Motor will bring to future cars.

If industry leaders were so easy to surpass, a bunch of companies would have surpassed Future Cars long ago.

"Although Venus Technology has become popular, yesterday I went to the 4S store of Future Auto and talked with several potential customers. Some of them were unable to place an order right away because they wanted to buy Q9 from Future Auto. Compare."

"It can be said that the emergence of Qiantu Q9 has begun to affect future cars."

Zeng Tingting did not pay much attention to Qiantu Auto before, feeling that the other party could not bring any threat to her.

But now her thoughts have changed a bit.

There is no way, the situation is changing a bit fast, and Qiantu Auto's ability to cause trouble is a bit strong.

"A car is a relatively complex product. A new car produced by a start-up company that has never produced a car will most likely have various problems."

"These problems have not been exposed yet. They will continue to emerge after test drives or launches."

"When the time comes, no matter how high you stand now, how hard you will fall later."

"Qiantu Motor still has a long way to go before it can truly threaten future cars."

"Besides, if any new Internet car-making force can threaten future cars, then the threshold for car-making is too low."

Although the threshold for building a car will continue to drop in the future, in 2013, it was obvious that it had not yet reached that level.

Future Auto is definitely the company with the highest brand power in China's electric vehicle industry, and it is able to take into account both brand and sales without being too high-minded.

This is not so easy for other companies to learn from.

Of course, Qiantu Motor must also know that in the field of electric vehicles, it will not make money if it raises prices in the mid- to low-end market.

Only by raising the price as much as possible and producing large SUVs so that consumers can accept the price can we make a profit.

"Okay then, I'll take another look."

Zeng Tingting looked at Lu Bing on the screen who was introducing the netizens enthusiastically, and felt a little depressed.

However, at this moment, she suddenly discovered that there was smoke suddenly coming out of the screen in the live broadcast room?

It was at the moment she hesitated that she discovered that there was a fire inside the Qiantu Q9.

Then the live broadcast screen has no signal!

It was obvious that something was terribly wrong.

Cao Yang on the side also noticed this change and asked a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Cao, it seems...it seems that Qianqian Q9 is on fire!"

Zeng Tingting was a little confused, this situation was a bit sudden.

If I had known this, why would I have been worried just now?

What a waste of your emotions.

“Their batteries are not produced by Nanshan Battery, right?”

Electric vehicle fires are not a particularly new topic.

Cao Yang's first reaction was that the battery manufacturer of Qiantu Q9 would be under pressure.

Of course, Qiantu Motor is definitely under the greatest pressure.

"No, they found Guoxuan Hi-Tech on their own."

"However, what happened this time does not directly prove that there is a problem with Guoxuan Hi-Tech's batteries."

"After all, Qiantu Q9 uses batteries in space, which was definitely not considered during development."

"Fortunately, this time it is not a product using Nanshan batteries, otherwise it will not be clear when the time comes."

Zeng Tingting quickly adjusted her emotions and tried to analyze this unexpected incident from an objective perspective.

Although it is not certain whether a space fire really occurred, it is likely to be like this.

How high-profile Qiantu Motor was before, it must be in such a mess now.

To put it mildly, this accident would definitely make global news and cause an uproar at home and abroad.

"Please pay attention to the follow-up of this matter."

"If there is really a fire, it is estimated that some satellites from various countries should be able to observe it."

"There are also some camera systems on our Starlink satellites, which can allow Daystar to immediately confirm which Starlink satellite is closer to Qiantu Q9 and take pictures of it."

When Cao Yang said this, Zeng Tingting reacted immediately and quickly picked up her phone to call Zhao Siyu.

When the time comes, with first-hand evidence in hand, Future Auto will have full initiative whether or not it is used to develop Qiantu Motor.

At this moment, Qiantu Auto's interior was in complete chaos.

The live broadcast room simply did not dare to continue the live broadcast and went offline directly.

"Old Qin, what happened?"

"Why are you like this all of a sudden?"

Lu Bing was a little panicked now.

He had never thought of such a scene.

Qiantu Q9 actually caught fire in space!

This is definitely something that has never been done before or since!

It is estimated that this matter will be included in the hot searches on Weibo tomorrow.

This is not a situation Lu Bing wants to see.

"I'm not sure of the specific situation yet, but it should be that the battery caught fire!"

Qin Lihong's face was also very ugly at this time.

He had never thought about this situation either.

"Why did it catch on fire after everything was fine?"

"This car hasn't been driven more than 100 kilometers in total, right?"

Lu Bing personally listened to the battery-related technical report.

According to the design requirements, this battery can ensure that the performance will not be greatly affected within 5 years and 100,000 kilometers.

As for things like starting a fire, it is not allowed.

But the current situation is completely different.

"The reasons may be multifaceted."

"First, when the rocket is launched, the operating conditions are ones that ordinary cars have never encountered. No one can confirm whether the battery was damaged during the launch process."

"Second, we specially installed solar panels and made certain modifications to the Q9. Such modifications will have a certain impact on the battery to a greater or lesser extent."

"Third, the working environment in space is very different from that on the ground. There may even be a collision of small meteorites."

"Finally, further confirmation is needed as to whether the batteries produced by Guoxuan Hi-Tech really perform as well as they introduce."

Qin Lihong forced himself to calm down at this time, otherwise he would be in chaos.

Qiantu Motor has put a lot of effort into it and he has been struggling for several years. Now that it is about to succeed, he naturally does not want any surprises.

"Meteorite collision!"

"This incident must have been caused by a meteorite collision!"

"We immediately made an official announcement that the Qiantu Q9 was accidentally hit by a meteorite in space, causing the battery pack to catch fire."

"We are very sorry for this accident!"

Lu Bing comes from a media background and knows very well how to deal with the media.

At this time, Qiantu Motor must cut off the chaos quickly and quickly give a reason that can be explained.

As long as there is such a reason, everything will be easy to say.

Otherwise, all kinds of speculations will fly in the air, damaging the reputation of Qiantu Motor.

There is no way for ordinary people to confirm the collision of meteorites.

There are only a few in the world with proven strength.

In this case, there is a high probability that Qiantu Motor can avoid this crisis.

"Well, I'll go implement this right away, keep an eye on the employees personally and update the official WeChat account!"

Qin Lihong was not stupid. He reacted as soon as he heard Lu Bing's words.

Although there are many reasons for the fire, in fact it is not necessarily a problem with Qiantu Motor's products.

But there is no point in worrying about these at this time. The most important thing is to guide the conclusion in the direction that is most beneficial to Qiantu Motor.

You said that the battery was damaged during the launch process, which is bound to be without evidence.

And Venus Technology may not necessarily agree with this view.

As for saying that there is a problem with Guoxuan Hi-Tech's battery, that is even more inappropriate.

Wouldn't this be like shooting yourself in the foot?

Will Qiantu Q9 be sold in the future?

You can’t just change the battery manufacturer temporarily, right?

So the final result can only be that Qiantu Q9 is hit by a meteorite!

This way everyone can have a step down!

Soon, under Qin Lihong’s supervision, Qiantu Motor’s official WeChat account was updated with a piece of content.

At the same time, Lu Bing's personal Weibo also reposted this Weibo and attached his own comments.

With this action, everyone was certain that the Qiantu Q9 had really caught fire in space.

"Mr. Li, Qiantu Q9 is on fire in space!"

"Now Qiantu Motor's official Weibo is saying that the car was hit by a meteorite, so the battery caught fire."

"But I feel like this matter may not end so easily."

Shi Junhui is the director of Guoxuan High-Tech Center and a doctorate from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has a high IQ and EQ.

What Qiantu Motor officially announced is a good thing for Guoxuan Hi-Tech.

But that doesn't mean that's the truth.

After all, when an electric car catches fire, everyone's first reaction is that there is a problem with the battery.

In fact, in most cases, this is true.

This time should be no exception.

"This matter really needs to be taken seriously."

"We have supported a lot of projects in the past few years, but none of the models has a relatively good sales volume."

"I finally saw that Qiantu Motor's Q9 was going to be popular, but something unexpected happened."

"It is estimated that Qiantu Motor will contact us soon and ask us to reconfirm the safety performance of the battery."

Li Zhen also feels like he has a big head now.

A battery caught fire in space, setting an unprecedented global record.

It is estimated that many car companies are now laughing at Qianqian Motor.

As the battery supplier of Qiantu Q9, Guoxuan Hi-Tech will definitely be under pressure.

"I have just arranged for people from the technical center to conduct another inventory of the various testing tasks of Qiantu Q9's battery pack to see if there are any areas that do not meet the design requirements."

"At the same time, we are also preparing to compile a disassembly and comparative analysis report on the battery pack of Qiantu Q9 and the battery pack of Future Car W9 model as soon as possible."

"If it is proven that the performance of our battery packs is not much different from Nanshan's batteries, it will be difficult to say that this fire was a problem with our batteries."

"After all, the battery pack is not designed to be used in space."

"Low temperature will have a huge impact on the activity of lithium ions in the battery. At this time, solar panels are modified to charge the battery pack, and the possibility of accidental fire is relatively high."

Shi Junhui is an expert in battery research, and he naturally knows the various properties of batteries.

In his opinion, the Qiantu Q9 fire this time has a high probability to have nothing to do with Guoxuan Hi-Tech.

But his understanding may not be accepted by everyone.

He knew this too.

So at this time, Guoxuan Hi-Tech needs to do more preparation work.

"Let's be more proactive. You go and make an appointment with Guoxuan Hi-Tech's procurement and technical personnel, and we'll go there tomorrow to make a special report."

Li Zhen obviously knows how to do business and deal with people.

In this case, a special report is essential.

Rather than passively being called over by the people from Qiantu Auto, it is better to be proactive and show your attitude.

Anyway, they have a certain degree of confidence to prove that they have no problem.

This way, Qiantu Motor can also avoid focusing on them all the time.

"Well, I'll contact them directly later."

Shi Junhui sighed in his heart, feeling that he had been shot while lying down.

But he had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and work harder.

…

After seeing the news about Qiantu Motor's space fire, the first person who thought of the battery pack issue was obviously not only Guoxuan Hi-Tech itself, but also Nanshan Battery, the world's largest power battery manufacturer.

"Mr. Zeng, it's a good thing that we didn't send future car models into space this time, otherwise we might have been the ones who caught fire."

After Lin Cheng saw the news, he didn't simply gloat over his misfortune. Instead, he felt a little lucky.

After you launch the car into space, if nothing is done, as long as the connections between some circuits are cut off before launch, the possibility of a fire is relatively low.

But if you want to start the car again in space, the probability of various accidents will skyrocket.

"Mr. Lin, do you think Qiantu Motor's statement that it was hit by a meteorite and caught fire is reliable?"

"The Qiantu Motor official Weibo said that it was hit by a meteorite, which is not impossible in theory, but I think it is more likely that the battery has problems in extreme use environments."

Lin Cheng had obviously thought about this issue, so he immediately gave his reply after listening to Zeng Tingting's words.

"Venus Technology has specially retrieved the videos recorded by several Starlink satellites, and currently no meteorites have been observed near Qiantu Q9."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that some smaller meteorites are difficult to observe."

When Zeng Tingting reported this matter to Cao Yang yesterday, she had already asked Daystar Technology for help.

But the end result was nothing.

The Qiantu Q9 caught fire very suddenly. Although there were Starlink satellites nearby, the distance was actually very far away.

If you were to fly past a huge meteorite, everyone would definitely be able to take a picture of it.

For example, the reconnaissance satellites of China, the United States, Polar Bear and other countries have this part of their mission.

But no one had any special reaction, indicating that the problem was most likely not caused by meteorites.

"No matter what the reason is, if you want to put the responsibility on the battery manufacturer, it will be difficult for the other party to completely clarify it."

"Although the gap between Guoxuan Hi-Tech and Nanshan Battery is still relatively large, it can be regarded as taking away some customers from us."

"I'm going to communicate with Autohome to see if we can guide the development direction of public opinion."

"This can suppress Guoxuan Hi-Tech, and also make potential consumers have some concerns about the safety of Qiantu Q9."

“For our company, it’s like killing two birds with one stone.”

As the general manager of Nanshan Battery, Lin Cheng has dealt with many OEMs in recent years, and his mind has become much more flexible.

This kind of thing, which is beneficial to Nanshan Battery and other brother companies, must be done.

Anyway, Nanshan Group companies not only have no friendship with Guoxuan Hi-Tech, but are actually competitors.

"If media other than Autohome can do this, the effect may be better."

"After all, Qiantu Motor's Q9 was launched by Venus Technology, and Autohome is a sister company. If one side earns Qiantu Motor's money, and the other side is in a black family, it will not be good for the group's reputation if word spreads. .”

"Anyway, Qiantu Motor has been so high-profile this time, and many car companies must be very unhappy."

Zeng Tingting doesn't take Qiantu Motor too seriously now, so she naturally behaves in a more energetic manner.

Lin Cheng naturally recognized this.

It's just that for some things, before they can do it, someone will take action first.
