98: New car painted forgiveness green? You are awesome!

"Is 'Forgiveness Green' the name of your company's new car paint job? It's quite unique," Lu Shenwei teased.

Wei Ran said helplessly, "The company's decision doesn't represent my personal opinion."

Wei Ran didn't want to use this brain-dead name either, but the eldest miss insisted.

"Understood, but I have to ask, will our anti-rust car paint technology also be used on the 'Forgiveness Green'?"

"Yes, and it will be the debut."

Hiss— Lu Shenwei's teeth ached. 'Forgiveness Green'! And it's actually the debut!

"We considered that Director Lu might have reservations, so we are willing to offer 50 million to buy out the 'Liuguang' technology."

"How much?"

"50 million!"

To Wei Ran, 50 million to buy an anti-rust car paint was an astronomical price.

Lu Shenwei kept a straight face. "It seems Boss Wei doesn't respect technology as much as the rumors say."

"This is our greatest sincerity; I hope Director Lu can consider it."

Consider? Consider my ass!

If it weren't for the fact that Great Wall has produced many good cars over the years, I would have told you to get lost long ago!

Look at the Wey Lanshan back then; it rolled off a twenty-meter overpass, and everyone only sustained minor injuries.

The legendary H6 car was critically acclaimed and sold well, ranking first in monthly sales for nearly a hundred consecutive months.

Look at it now. 'Forgiveness Green'? 'Persian Cat'? What kind of bullshit is this?

"No need. Show him out!" Lu Shenwei said with a dark face.

What a company fears most is letting some second-generation heir take over. Without a few years of frontline experience, jumping straight into a high-level management position—isn't that just pure suicide?

"Director Lu, we can still negotiate the price," Wei Ran struggled to say.

Lu Shenwei remained silent in response. Zhou Cun raised his hand and said, "General Manager Wei, please."

After sending Wei Ran away, Lu Shenwei didn't have the time to meet any representatives from Xiaopeng Motors, so he arranged for Wang Zizhong to host them.

In the end, Xiaopeng Motors reached a cooperation agreement with Julong Steel for 42 million, authorizing Xiaopeng Motors to use the 'Liuguang' technology across its entire lineup.

The news that Xiaopeng Motors had obtained the 'Liuguang' technology spread like wildfire, and other car companies visited one after another.

Most of them wanted to snatch up both the 'Liuguang' and 'Dragon Carriage' technologies at once, but unfortunately, Lu Shenwei was only willing to sell the castrated version of 'Liuguang,' and he 'cherished' the 'Dragon Carriage' technology like his own broom.

"Chairman, I don't understand. Aren't we supposed to be quickly recouping funds to do big things?" Zhou Cun asked in confusion.

Lu Shenwei countered, "You want to ask why I'm not selling the 'Cloud Carriage' technology at a high price?"

Zhou Cun nodded. Lu Shenwei smiled and said, "Of course, it's to wait for a better price. The licensing fee for 'Liuguang' is over 40 million, so why shouldn't 'Cloud Carriage' be over 100 million?"

It wasn't that Lu Shenwei didn't want to sell, but that the car companies coming to seek cooperation were too stingy.

The famous BYD only offered 70 million, and they wanted the full set of 'Cloud Carriage' technology.

I work hard to make money, and redeeming high-tech from the system mall is not so I can become a cheap porter.

"Don't worry. Once we phase out more models, someone won't be able to sit still and will come looking for us on their own," Lu Shenwei said confidently.

Zhou Cun looked thoughtful. Lu Shenwei asked again, "How are the preparations for the welcome coming along?"

"The factory has been cleaned inside and out, and Director Ma has finished his preparations. We're just waiting for the leaders to come tomorrow," Zhou Cun said seriously.

Lu Shenwei said casually, "I hope Chen Guang and the others like this new toy."

The next day, the factory broadcast was playing news about extreme weather, and two military vehicles quietly drove into the Julong Steel Factory.

Accompanied by Lu Shenwei, Chen Guang toured the swarm attack drone production line.

"Little Lu, I was just saying it casually, and you actually made a finished product."

Chen Guang fiddled with the swarm drone, his eyes full of gratification.

"Without your guidance, leader, we wouldn't have had the initiative," Lu Shenwei flattered.

Chen Guang smiled. "Demonstrate it."

Lu Shenwei nodded at Zhou Cun, who then controlled the drone to take off.

"Leaders, the swarm attack drone has a dead weight of 700 grams and can carry four 500-gram inertial guided bombs. The airframe can also be loaded with high explosives to act as a suicide drone."

The drone circled and danced in the air, performing high-difficulty maneuvers from time to time.

Vertical climbs, circling attacks, and sidewinder maneuvers were all performed with ease.

"The drone has a maximum flight radius of 15 kilometers on a full charge. Without considering the return trip, the maximum attack range is 32 kilometers, and the maximum speed can reach 200 kilometers per hour."

Chen Guang nodded in satisfaction. "How is the performance in extreme temperatures?"

"It can maintain 80% of its battery power in extreme cold of minus 40 degrees Celsius, and it can operate at full load for 20 minutes in extreme hot weather," Lu Shenwei added.

Zhou Cun retrieved the drone and took out the connection module.

"Now, I will demonstrate the swarm combat mode. Using a simple connection sleeve, individual drones can form a swarm. The maximum combination allows for the simultaneous control of 108 drones for coordinated attacks."

Chen Guang's eyes lit up. "Can a single soldier operate it too?"

"The operation is simple; as long as you can play mobile games, you can operate it. A single soldier can carry at most one launcher and six drones," Zhou Cun said.

Lu Shenwei nodded and said, "Take off. Let the leader see what a swarm is."

Zhou Cun connected 20 launchers and placed them vertically on the ground.

Buzz— 20 drones soared into the sky, followed by another 20 rushing out of the launchers, and finally another 20.

60 drones circled and danced; the drone formation could even change into a spearhead attack formation. The scene was quite spectacular.

"Not bad," Chen Guang praised.

Lu Shenwei nodded at Zhou Cun, and the drone swarm slowly landed.

"It's just that our factory doesn't have the qualifications to use explosives, so the ammunition section has to be left empty for now," Lu Shenwei said regretfully.

Chen Guang laughed and said, "We will solve the problem of the explosive charge. This drone of yours can fully meet the needs of the theater of operations."

Chen Guang had already made up his mind; as soon as he returned to the theater and adjusted the ammunition section, he would go to the leaders to ask for a quota and produce 5,000 units first.

"As long as the leader is satisfied, that's good," Lu Shenwei smiled.

"I originally intended to issue your plaque next month, but I didn't expect you to be so fast. Let's make it the end of the month; at the end of the month, we'll add the designation of an Army cooperative unit."

Chen Guang said casually, and Lu Shenwei thanked him repeatedly.

The Navy is already on board, the Army will soon be designated, and if the Air Force could come at some point, it would just complete the 'Royal Three' of Dragon Xia.

"What about the price? Little Lu, how much do you want to sell it for? Let's be clear, if it's too expensive, we won't have the money," Chen Guang said half-jokingly.

Don't look at the fact that the Army holds labor protection gloves in their hands in the annual New Year's greeting videos, with Type 59 tanks in the background.

In fact, the big brothers in the Army are quite wealthy; they are just used to being frugal.

"The cost price is 900 yuan each, and the launchers aren't worth much, so I'll throw them in for free. Do you think that's appropriate?" Lu Shenwei probed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Guang frowned.

"Are you messing with me, kid? I know that the limited-edition Longying Drone Model 01 from Julong Steel costs 3,000 yuan each. How can the swarm attack drone be cheaper than that? Did you cut corners?"

Seeing Chen Guang's straight face, Lu Shenwei quickly explained.

"The cost is definitely higher than the Longying, but the Longying is what I use to make money. I can't be making money off our own theater of operations, right?"

Not to mention making money from the military; if possible, Lu Shenwei would even be willing to lose money to subsidize the military.

"One thing is one thing, another is another. The Longying Drone sells for 3,000, so we won't pay less than that."
