"I think he must have developed a new type of car this time as well."
Someone else picked up the conversation.
"A new type of car?"
"How new can a car be? Aren't they all just four wheels and an engine?"
"Engine technology has been thoroughly researched, do you really think Xu Lei would put nuclear reactions into an engine?"
The wealthy businessman who said those words laughed as soon as he finished speaking.
He himself felt like he was joking.
If Xu Lei can really combine nuclear reaction and engine, then why bother with cars? He could just go straight to aviation and rockets and make even more money.
"Alright, alright, stop speculating, Xu Lei is out!"
One sentence instantly drew everyone's attention.
Xu Lei stepped onto the stage, took the microphone from the host, and said loudly:
"As we all know, the substance that provides kinetic energy to a car is heat, and heat is generated by burning gasoline."
"However, when gasoline is burned, it produces a large number of harmful substances, which not only pollute the air, but also easily damage the environment and exacerbate the greenhouse effect."
"For the sake of our home, my team and I, including 073, have worked hard for months and finally succeeded in developing this new type of car, a new energy vehicle that relies on electricity as its power source!"
The words fell.
All eyes immediately shifted from Xu Lei to the new energy vehicle.
"New energy vehicles require a lot of technology. Do you really think you can surpass Tesla in such a short time?"
Gao Qiqiang, standing in the stands, sneered.
New energy vehicles are good; they also save money on travel.
However, the research and development of new energy vehicles is extremely difficult, and he doesn't believe that Xu Lei can surpass Tesla in such a short period of time.
To be precise, he felt it would be difficult for Xu Lei to even build a single new energy vehicle.
"That's right, Boss Gao is absolutely right!"
"Cars are not so easy to manufacture. I have seen companies that have invested tens of billions of dollars and still lost money."
Someone then suggested that they hoped to use this opportunity to leave a good impression on Gao Qiqiang.
Their back-and-forth banter instantly stirred up the onlookers, sparking a heated discussion on the spot.
Of course, most of the voices are disdainful of new energy vehicles.
"Haha, Boss Gao is indeed no ordinary person; his vision is truly far-reaching!"
Xu Lei's voice rang out, "But, isn't Boss Gao underestimating me a bit too much?"
"If I couldn't even solve this small problem, why would I be holding this press conference?"

"Oh?"
"From what you're saying, your team's new energy vehicle is even more powerful than Tesla?"
From the stands, Old Fu also sneered.
He once had the idea of getting involved in the automotive industry.
The result was undoubtedly a failure.
The technology involved in automobiles is extensive and extremely expensive.
Even Old Fu couldn't afford to burn it.
"Yeah, instead of talking big, why don't you just show us your new energy vehicle?"
"Whether it's a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a spin to know, right?"
Another sarcastic voice rang out.
Xu Lei nodded in agreement.
He walked down from the stands and got into the new energy vehicle.
hum~
The new energy vehicle started.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the new energy vehicle sped up faster and faster, quickly reaching 60 miles per hour!
The expressions on everyone's faces gradually became serious.
Xu Lei has actually built a new energy vehicle.
Yu Zui suddenly stood up from his seat, staring dumbfounded at the lane below.
"Waiter, what's wrong?"
Old Fu looked up and asked.
"I...you...he..."
Yu Zui kept pointing at the new energy vehicle, then at Lao Fu, and then at himself, without uttering a single complete sentence for a long time.
"Sit down and talk slowly, there's no rush."
Old Fu pulled Yu Zui back to his seat.
After taking deep breaths and reorganizing his thoughts for most of the day, Yu Zui finally said what he had been wanting to say.
"Old Fu, take a closer look, this car's speed... seems to be more than 60 miles per hour?"
what?
Old Fu and Little Liu could hardly believe their ears.
Immediately, their expressions turned serious.
They've all driven cars and have a good understanding of car speeds.
Xu Lei had already driven quite a distance, but the big screen still showed footage of Xu Lei inside his car.
The speedometer clearly shows that the speed has reached 70 miles per hour.
Xu Lei would never do something as foolish as tampering with the watch face.
That means...
Xu Lei actually built a new energy vehicle that far surpasses Tesla's.
At this moment, Xu Lei had already turned his car around and returned.
"Holy crap!"
This time, Xiao Liu couldn't help but jump up.
Old Fu, still sitting in his seat, looked on with a look of utter astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost.
Xu Lei actually broke the speed limit for new energy vehicles and created a new energy vehicle that can travel at 70 miles per hour.
This will undoubtedly lead to a complete reshuffle in the new energy vehicle industry.
One exclamation after another rang out.
At this moment.
Everyone understood why Yu Zui had reacted that way just now.
This is really incredible!
"As you can see!"
Xu Lei, leaning against the car door, picked up the microphone and said, "I have developed a motor with a higher rotation speed, which has increased its speed."
"Furthermore, we have improved the range of this car. Currently, the maximum range of new energy vehicles is 579 kilometers, while our new energy vehicle can reach a maximum range of 700 kilometers."
After he finished speaking, the stands fell into an unusual silence, without even a single cheer.
They were so shocked that they hadn't yet recovered, both mentally and physically!
"Mr. Xu, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
Suddenly, a well-dressed foreigner spoke to Xu Lei in broken Chinese.
Just say it directly.
"With such a long range, doesn't this increase the risk of the battery becoming flammable?"
This question instantly brought everyone back to their senses.
Yes.
The reason why new energy vehicles have been unable to make breakthroughs in range is that range depends on the battery, and the larger the battery, the higher the flammability.
"I am very pleased that this international friend raised this question, because this is precisely the key reason why I am holding this press conference!"
"Our battery uses lithium batteries, which are inherently smaller and lighter. Of course, their cost is also much higher than other batteries."
Xu Lei stopped there.
The vast majority of people present were business tycoons, and they understood what was being said even if it wasn't fully spoken.
Xu Lei is trying to attract investment!
After all, the car market is a very money-intensive industry.
Even if Xu Lei brings technology that will change the landscape of new energy vehicles.
However, even with Xu Lei's immense wealth, building an entire automotive production line would still take an extremely long time.
Right now, whoever manages to secure a collaboration with Xu Lei will reap enormous profits!
"Mr. Xu, may I represent our Baoma Company to discuss the issue of investing in new energy vehicles?"
"I prefer to cooperate with top domestic companies."
Xu Lei smiled slightly.
The automotive industry is considered a high-end manufacturing sector.
Rather than conceding profits to foreign countries, he prefers to benefit his own country.
“Mr. Xu, the European and American markets are not something your country can easily conquer.”
The person in charge of Baoma Company turned pale.
If Xu Lei hadn't been the chief designer of the high-speed rail, he wouldn't have come at all.
Other established car companies didn't even participate in this car launch event.
She thought she had the victory in the bag, but she never expected Xu Lei to reject her for this reason.
"Then—can our company cooperate with Mr. Xu?"
The company quickly stood up.
Since they've already offended the United States, they're not afraid of offending other European and American countries as well.
"can."
Xu Lei nodded.
His skills are truly amazing.
Even if Europe and America really blockade us, as long as our technology reaches an overwhelming level, people from those countries will make a special trip to China to buy it, even if they can't buy it in their own countries.
Xu Lei remained calm in the face of this.
Watching the two walk away side by side, all the businessmen present panicked.
"Who is Xu Lei's secretary here?"
"I want to schedule a meeting with Xu Lei!"
...
night.
Faced with a table full of delicious food, Lao Fu had no appetite at all.
