70: Chapter 70 is explosive! Is Diya Group trying to poach our talent?
The last day of the Motorcycle Trade Show.
The popularity did not decrease, but rather increased.
That evening, Guan Yi released an announcement through all media channels.
"At 2:00 PM tomorrow, in the Star Technology test drive area, we will disassemble the Gale live and give away all forty exhibition vehicles through a lucky draw."
The news exploded.
"Disassembling the bike? Daring to disassemble it means they have confidence in the quality!"
"I must go to the scene tomorrow!"
Wei Jianjun looked at this announcement and sneered.
"Disassembling the bike? This is forcing themselves onto a dead-end road."
He dialed a phone number.
"Engineer Zhao, take some people to the scene tomorrow and watch them disassemble the bike."
"Look for loopholes, look for flaws, look for any point that can be attacked."
"Once you find them, we will expose Star Technology's bottom line in front of the media."
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Mingyuan, the Chief Engineer of the R&D department, laughed.
"Don't worry, President Wei. I've been doing technical work for twenty years. What bike haven't I disassembled?"
"If they dare to disassemble it, I dare to pick it apart."
...
1:00 PM the next day.
The test drive area was already packed so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
The media's long lenses and microphones were densely packed.
The number of online viewers in all live broadcast rooms broke peak records.
In the center of the stage, a ten-meter-square metal platform was particularly eye-catching.
This was set up overnight by the organizing committee.
1:50 PM.
Chen Xu walked onto the stage.
He was dressed in black casual wear, looking relaxed.
He picked up the microphone.
"Everyone, thank you for your support over these three days."
"Today is the last day of the Motorcycle Trade Show, and it's also our Star Technology's final appearance here."
"Therefore, we've prepared something a little different."
He turned and pointed to the silver Gale being pushed up behind him.
"A live disassembly."
"Let everyone see what the inside of the Gale actually looks like."
The crowd stirred.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"President Chen, I have a question!"
Everyone's gaze turned toward the voice.
A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, squeezed to the front, with a 'Diya Group R&D Department' ID badge hanging on his chest.
Zhao Mingyuan.
Chen Xu looked at him and smiled.
"And this is?"
"Chief Engineer of the Diya Group R&D Department, Zhao Mingyuan."
Zhao Mingyuan's voice was very loud.
"President Chen, you said you want to disassemble the bike. That's great; we also want to see the internal structure of the Gale."
"But I have a small request."
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding media lenses.
"After the disassembly, can I go up and inspect it?"
"After all, anyone can talk big, but seeing is believing."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene instantly fell silent.
Everyone could hear it.
This was a direct challenge to pick out flaws.
The eyes of the media reporters lit up.
Now this was big news!
Chen Xu looked at Zhao Mingyuan, his smile deepening.
"Of course."
"However, Chief Engineer Zhao, I have one condition."
Zhao Mingyuan frowned: "What condition?"
Chen Xu's voice spread throughout the venue.
"If you can't find any faults, Diya Group must publicly acknowledge the technological lead of the Gale on all official media."
"Do you dare?"
Zhao Mingyuan's expression changed.
But with so many lenses pointed at him, if he backed down, Diya would lose all face.
"Fine! It's a deal!"
Chen Xu nodded and turned around.
"Chen Shier."
Chen Shier pushed the Gale onto the stage and squatted down in front of the toolbox.
He picked up the tools.
And began.
His movements were very clear.
The removal of every screw and every component was clearly displayed before everyone's eyes.
The outer shell.
The frame.
The suspension system.
The transmission system.
The brake assembly.
The control wiring.
Twenty minutes later.
A complete Gale had turned into a neatly arranged floor of parts.
Finally revealed were that silver-gray battery and the sci-fi-looking hub motor.
Zhao Mingyuan stared at every step.
He wanted to find a flaw.
But he couldn't find any.
Exclamations erupted from the crowd.
"Holy crap, this welding is just too perfect!"
"Look at that frame, there isn't a single burr!"
Chen Shier put down the last part, stood up, and looked at Zhao Mingyuan.
The meaning was obvious.
It was his turn.
Zhao Mingyuan gritted his teeth and walked onto the stage.
He began to inspect.
He inspected very carefully.
Because he knew this was Diya's last chance.
But the more he inspected, the colder his heart became.
Welding strength, material hardness, machining precision.
Each of these data points told him a cruel fact.
The manufacturing process of the Gale crushed Diya's.
Ten minutes later.
Zhao Mingyuan stood up.
He looked at Chen Xu and opened his mouth.
Chen Xu walked over and patted his shoulder.
"Chief Engineer Zhao, how is it?"
"Are there any problems?"
"None."
The word was squeezed out from between Zhao Mingyuan's teeth.
The scene erupted in a mountain-shaking cheer.
"Awesome! Even Diya's Chief Engineer couldn't find any faults!"
"Now this is real technology!"
Chen Xu picked up the microphone.
"Chief Engineer Zhao is a senior in the industry. It is my honor to receive his recognition."
"Now, according to our agreement..."
Zhao Mingyuan's face turned even darker.
Chen Xu's voice rang out behind him.
"Chief Engineer Zhao, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
"There's something even more exciting."
Zhao Mingyuan's footsteps paused.
Chen Xu pointed at Chen Shier.
"Live assembly, twenty minutes."
"If it's not assembled properly, all the exhibition vehicles today won't be given away; they'll all be given to Chief Engineer Zhao instead."
What?!
The crowd instantly exploded.
Assembling a bike in twenty minutes?
Is that something a human can do?
Zhao Mingyuan was also stunned.
He had been in technical work for twenty years, and the fastest he could assemble a bike was two hours.
Twenty minutes?
He must be bragging.
He turned around and sneered.
"President Chen, you said it yourself."
Chen Xu nodded with a smile.
"Countdown, start."
On the big screen, a huge timer began to tick down.
Chen Shier squatted down.
He picked up the first part.
His movements suddenly accelerated.
No hesitation.
No adjustments.
Component after component was rapidly installed.
The onlookers were already dumbfounded.
"This... what kind of hand speed is this?"
"My damn eyes can't even keep up with his movements!"
Zhao Mingyuan's eyes were about to pop out.
This was not a speed and precision reachable by humans!
Eighteen minutes.
Chen Shier tightened the last screw.
He stood up.
He straddled the bike.
He turned the key.
Vroom—
The slight vibration of the hub motor sounded.
The dashboard lit up.
All data was normal.
Chen Shier released the brake and twisted the throttle.
The Gale did a lap on the stage.
Perfect as before.
The next second.
Earth-shattering cheers erupted.
"Holy shit!!!"
"Eighteen minutes! He actually did it!"
"What kind of god-tier master is this!"
The comments in all the live broadcast rooms were going crazy.
Zhao Mingyuan was completely numb.
He finally understood.
The terrifying thing about Star Technology wasn't just the products.
It was also the people.
Diya didn't have a single master of this level.
Chen Xu walked to the edge of the stage and looked at Zhao Mingyuan.
"Chief Engineer Zhao, I've won this round."
Zhao Mingyuan gave a bitter smile, turned, and left.
Chen Xu picked up the microphone.
"Everyone, the disassembly demonstration ends here."
"Next, the lucky draw session."
A QR code appeared on the big screen.
"Scan the code to register. All forty bikes will be given away today."
The crowd instantly boiled over.
Countless phones were held up.
Ten minutes later.
The numbers began to roll.
The first round.
Twenty numbers were frozen on the screen.
"Congratulations to the twenty people above. Each of you has won a Storm!"
Ecstatic screams erupted from the crowd.
The second round.
Another twenty numbers.
"Congratulations to the twenty people above. Each of you has won a Gale!"
The winners were almost going insane.
Those who didn't win were wailing.
But even more people had surrounded the lucky winners.
"Brother, are you selling this Gale? I'll offer thirty thousand!"
"Thirty thousand? I'll give fifty thousand!"
"Don't listen to them. I'm from Diya. Name your price, we want them all!"
On stage.
Chen Xu looked at the chaos below the stage and smiled.
He picked up the microphone and spoke for the last time.
"Everyone, that's all for today."
"But this is not the end."
"Next month, in Fei City."
"Star Technology's first product launch event."
"We will release more products that will surprise everyone."
"At that time, everyone is welcome to come and witness it."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Leaving behind a high-spirited silhouette.
...
Xi City, Diya Group.
Li Wenbo turned off the live stream.
After a long while.
He dialed a phone number.
"Wei Jianjun."
"President Li."
"At all costs, get a Gale back here."
"And that master who disassembled the bike."
Li Wenbo's voice was cold.
"Poach him."
"Money is not an issue."
The call was hung up.
Li Wenbo stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked into the distance.
