61: Chapter 61: Self-developed core technologies will change the industry landscape!

On the other end of the line, Chen Xu's voice was calm.

"Oh, that."

"We made it ourselves."

Made it himself?

Having run a dealership for twenty years, he had seen too many manufacturers boasting—things like Dening Era suppliers, imported battery cells from Japan, or military-grade technology transfers.

But those who truly dared to say "we made it ourselves."

In the whole of China, there were no more than three!

"President Chen..."

Liu Yuan's voice changed pitch.

"When you say you made it yourselves, do you mean..."

"From material formulas to production processes, it is all self-developed."

Chen Xu's tone remained calm.

"Including those structures you can't understand, they are all our patents."

Liu Yuan's head exploded.

This wasn't finding a badass supplier, nor was it a hit product born from dumb luck.

This was strength!

"President Chen..."

Liu Yuan forced himself to calm down.

"Can you reveal the specific parameters of this battery?"

"Range, charging speed, safety..."

"A range of 320 kilometers."

Chen Xu stated the first figure.

"Actual test data, not exaggerated claims."

Liu Yuan's hand trembled.

320 kilometers?

The best electric motorcycles on the market officially claim a range of 150, but if they can actually run 100, you'd be lucky.

What kind of concept was this?

"It can charge to 80% in half an hour."

Thirty minutes?

The fastest quick charge on the market right now still takes an hour!

"Safety..."

Chen Xu's voice paused for a moment.

Liu Yuan held his breath.

"You can try piercing it with a steel nail to see if it catches fire."

Nail penetration test?

That is a forbidden zone in all battery testing!

Because once a lithium battery is pierced, 99% of the time it will instantly catch fire and explode!

"I..."

Liu Yuan opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

He finally realized what the twenty sample vehicles in his hands represented.

Inside the repair room.

Old Wang was holding a multimeter, still pondering the connector specifications of that battery.

Watching this scene, Liu Yuan suddenly wanted to laugh.

Forget it.

Don't study it anymore.

This thing is not something at your level that can be understood.

"President Chen, this kind of new battery..."

Liu Yuan carefully chose his words.

"It needs to be filed with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Quality Supervision Bureau, right? Otherwise, it can't be mass-produced, and you won't be able to get national subsidies."

He tried to demonstrate his professional value.

Proving that he wasn't just a car salesman, but could also be of help.

"It's already being processed."

Chen Xu's answer was simple and clear.

Already being processed?

What did this mean?

It meant that the other party not only had the technology but had also thought through the subsequent commercial layout clearly!

"President Chen!"

Liu Yuan's tone changed.

From his previous probing, it turned to earnestness.

"I will completely open up the market in Jinling for you!"

"No, not just Jinling!"

His voice became more and more urgent.

"Give me the agency rights for the entire Su Province! Within three months, I will make the name 'Zephyr' ring out in every corner of Su Province!"

"I don't want exclusivity, I just want the goods!"

"As long as you give me a stable supply, you name the terms!"

On the other end of the line, Chen Xu did not respond immediately.

Liu Yuan was anxious.

He was afraid that this god of wealth he had in his hands would fly away.

"President Chen! There is one more thing!"

He threw out his final trump card.

"At the end of September, there is the China International Motorcycle Trade Show in Yu City!"

"It is the largest industry event in the country and also in Asia!"

Liu Yuan spoke very quickly.

"All manufacturers, distributors, investors, and media will be there! Hamaya, Taben, as well as domestic giants like Diya and Fengchun, all will be releasing their annual flagships!"

"If your 'Zephyr' wants to be an overnight success..."

He paused.

"There is no better stage than that!"

On the other end of the line, a smile appeared on Chen Xu's face.

The Yu City Motorcycle Trade Show.

Of course he knew about it.

That wasn't just a stage.

It was the best stage prepared for "Zephyr".

"I know."

Chen Xu hung up the phone.

He picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Chen Shiyi, come to my office."

A minute later.

Chen Shiyi pushed the door open and entered.

"Boss."

"Two things."

Chen Xu looked at him.

"First, contact the Motorcycle Trade Show organizing committee and see if we can get the best booth. Money is not an issue."

"Second, organize all the technical data and test reports for the super battery, contact the Fei City Quality Supervision Bureau and President Qiao of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, and complete all filing and certification procedures as quickly as possible."

"Understood."

Chen Shiyi turned and left.

Chen Xu walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside.

At the same time.

Hundreds of kilometers away in Xi City, Su Province.

Diya Group headquarters.

A two-hundred-meter-tall skyscraper with a blue glass curtain wall that shimmered in the sunlight.

The top floor.

The strategic conference room.

Beside a huge circular conference table sat a dozen of Diya Group's top executives, the atmosphere serious.

Sales Vice President Wei Jianjun stood in front of the projection screen, his expression not looking very good.

He clicked the remote control.

A map of China appeared on the PPT, with two points marked in red.

Fei City.

Jinling.

"Everyone, please look."

Wei Jianjun pointed to the downward-sloping curve on the screen.

"Over the past month or so, sales in Fei City have shown an abnormal decline."

A vice president in charge of production leaned back in his chair, unconcerned.

"Old Wei, aren't you overreacting?"

He waved his hand.

"It's just market fluctuation in one prefecture-level city, it's very normal. It could be seasonal factors, or maybe a competitor is running some promotional activities."

"It's not normal."

Wei Jianjun immediately denied it.

He switched to the next page of the PPT, where the data was more detailed.

"What is declining is not our low-end volume models."

He tapped his finger heavily on the screen.

"It is precisely our high-end flagship, the 'War God' series, which has the highest profit and focuses on performance and range."

The atmosphere in the conference room changed.

Fluctuations in low-end model sales are called normal market competition.

Declining sales of high-end flagships mean something big has happened!

"And..."

"The trajectory of the decline is very strange."

He circled a red trajectory on the screen.

"At first, it was just a point in Fei City, but in the last half month, the Jinling market has also fluctuated slightly."

The conference room was quiet for a few seconds.

"I sent people to ask the distributors in Jinling."

Wei Jianjun switched to the next page.

On the screen, a blurry mobile phone photo appeared.

A black electric bicycle parked in front of a dealership.

"They said that an electric bicycle called 'Storm' has appeared on the market."

"It is stealing our customers."

"Storm?"

An executive in charge of legal affairs sneered.

"What kind of copycat small factory dares to steal Diya's market?"

He patted the table.

"What is the legal department doing?"

Wei Jianjun didn't answer and continued.

"The problem is..."

His voice made the laughter stop.

"Our legal department has checked."

"From the name to the appearance, the other party has perfectly avoided all patent risks."

"And..."

He paused.

"According to some rumors, that vehicle has better quality than ours, and the range is also higher."

The man sitting in the main seat, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes.

He was wearing a well-tailored Chinese-style formal suit, and his aura was steady and powerful.

The founder and CEO of Diya Group.

Li Wenbo.

"Send someone to Fei City."

His voice was not loud, but it made the whole conference room quiet instantly.

"Find out clearly which factory produces this 'Storm' and what its background is."

He tapped his fingers gently on the table.

"Also, buy a few and let the R&D department take them apart to see."

"Yes, President Li."

Wei Jianjun nodded immediately.

Li Wenbo stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window was the skyline of the entire Xi City.

"Let the people below handle these trivial matters."

He turned around.

"Our core task now is the Yu City Motorcycle Trade Show at the end of September."

His gaze swept over everyone.

"This is our first show after Diya went public."

"Success is the only option, failure is not allowed!"

Li Wenbo's hand pointed heavily at the motorcycle on the screen.

"Our new flagship 'Thunder God' series..."

His voice was very cold.

"Must be the only focus of the entire event!"
