Chapter 289 You really know how to build a car?

The person who arrived was none other than the founder of the Xiaomi Corporation, known as Lei Jun, Brother Jun!

Su Chen was stunned!

"Doesn't Lei Jun make mobile phones? Does he also understand cars?"

But he quickly realized it!

"Oh! Right!"

"I remember now, before I transmigrated, Lei Jun had just built a car, and the reviews for it online were actually quite high."

Su Chen had a great deal of respect for this legendary figure, who was like the protagonist of a web novel in the business world; after all, he had achieved many impressive results in the technology industry.

And Lei Jun did not put on any airs at all, taking the initiative to extend his hand to Su Chen and saying enthusiastically:

"I heard that you are the Engineer recommended to us by Elder Qin and Elder Zhao? Hello, Mr. Su."

Su Chen also extended his hand, smiling politely and calmly:

"Hello, Mr. Lei."

Lei Jun had achieved success at a young age, and because Su Chen was recommended by Elder Qin and Elder Zhao, he did not look down on this seemingly young Engineer at all!

On the contrary, he had many expectations for Su Chen in his heart!

He thought that perhaps this Mr. Su could really bring him an unexpected surprise.

After they sat down again, Lei Jun took the lead and said:

"Mr. Su, I believe Elder Qin and Elder Zhao have already told you the purpose of our visit."

"The country was able to choose us from among many car brands and entrust us with such an important task; we feel a great sense of responsibility, but we are indeed encountering significant difficulties now."

Su Chen was not particularly surprised.

After all, the full name of the company founded by Lei Jun is Beijing Xiaomi; being able to be named after Beijing is not a trivial matter!

This also illustrates the recognition and importance of this enterprise at the national level; not every car brand can have the word "Beijing" added to its name.

Lei Jun continued:

"We followed the country's arrangements and laid out our plans in advance. At the beginning, it was indeed very smooth, and the market response was also very good."

"But the problem right now is that our products only have an advantage in terms of price, and with the price wars from other brands, this advantage is slowly disappearing. We urgently need some new technology to improve our product competitiveness! At the same time, we must also balance cost-effectiveness. I know this is very difficult..."

Before Lei Jun could finish speaking, Su Chen waved his hand and said:

"Actually, it is quite simple!"

Lei Jun was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Su Chen to say this. He then narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:

"Please, tell me your thoughts."

As he said this, he placed both hands neatly on his legs, looking serious and ready to listen to Su Chen's ideas.

Su Chen cleared his throat and said in an orderly manner:

"Let us just start with the pain points of new energy vehicles. I will list two of them."

"One is the problem of slow charging. Nowadays, the new energy vehicles on the market take a lot of time to charge, and this is the gap between them and gasoline cars!"

"The second is the problem of insufficient range per unit of electricity. Many cars cannot travel very far after being fully charged before they need to be charged again, which is also quite a headache!"

"Actually, let me mention one more problem: the battery is prone to issues. Once the battery fails, the whole car is basically scrapped, and the maintenance cost is too high."

"To address these three problems, I can transplant some technology from the Individual Combat Mecha to the car. The expected result is that within ten seconds, the car battery can be fully charged. Moreover, a fully charged car battery can allow the car to travel for at least two thousand kilometers, which would immediately boost the range."

"Also, regarding the battery material, if we use special materials, even if the car is involved in an accident or explosion, the battery will remain safe and sound. Oh, right, the issue of vehicle safety must also be considered. Let us improve the overall frame of the car; the safety should be comparable to a tank—no, it must at least surpass a tank."

After Su Chen finished expressing his thoughts, Lei Jun was stunned.

He stared wide-eyed, listening to Su Chen's words, his face full of disbelief, and his heart was utterly shocked.

He was a person who had personally built cars, so he knew how difficult it was to technically achieve what Su Chen had described!

Those were all problems that the automotive industry had always wanted to overcome but found very difficult to solve.

He subconsciously looked at Elder Qin and Elder Zhao, only to find that both of them were calm, as if what Su Chen said were trivial matters to them, which made Lei Jun even more stunned.

He looked at Su Chen carefully again, thinking that he seemed to have underestimated him before.

At the same time, he could not help but guess Su Chen's identity, but after pondering for a long time, he could not figure it out. He only felt that Su Chen was truly too mysterious and must possess an extraordinary background and ability.

Elder Qin and Elder Zhao looked at each other and smiled. Elder Qin then said:

"I knew that calling Su Chen over was the right choice!"

Elder Zhao also echoed:

"As soon as he mentioned the Individual Combat Mecha, I guessed his idea. The technological content of the Individual Combat Mecha is unquestionable, and its cost-effectiveness is terrifyingly high. With this, we don't have to worry!"

Elder Zhao paused, and then added as if joking:

"Elder Qin, why don't we just make the Individual Combat Mecha civilian-friendly? Anyway, it is cheaper than a car!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Qin immediately glared at Elder Zhao and said, feigning anger:

"Don't talk nonsense; can that work?"

Seeing this, Elder Zhao laughed and hurriedly said:

"Just joking, just joking!"

Lei Jun was listening to their conversation from the side, but he was completely confused. He did not understand what they were talking about at all. He was still thinking about the veracity of Su Chen's words; after all, it sounded too incredible, and he had not figured it out yet.

Just at this moment, Su Chen's voice rang out again, asking:

"Mr. Lei, what do you think of the ideas I just mentioned?"

Lei Jun only then came back to his senses and hurriedly said:

"I think it is very good, but will there be any difficulties in implementation?"

He was still a little hesitant. Although the idea sounded particularly powerful, if it were really implemented in actual manufacturing, the difficulty would be immense.

Su Chen smiled and said:

"What difficulties? I will try to build one for you in a couple of days, and then we will know, won't we?"

Lei Jun was still a bit dazed at this moment, but after hearing Su Chen's words, he nodded involuntarily.

After the plan was finalized, they got up and saw Lei Jun off.

After all, the matter had been discussed, and the next step was to wait for the actual results.

Elder Qin looked at Su Chen and asked with concern:

"Little Chen, will two days be too tight?"

He was still a little worried that Su Chen was rushing too much.

Su Chen said indifferently:

"What of it? It is just transferring one percent of some technology from the Individual Combat Mecha to the car. It is an easy task."

With Su Chen's guarantee, Elder Qin and the others felt much more relieved.

Then Su Chen asked if there was anything else, and Elder Qin thought about it and said:

"That is all for now."

Elder Zhao was hesitant on the side, and after a moment of hesitation, he said:

"I am still thinking about the miracle you showed while piloting the Space Mecha just now; what exactly is going on, Little Chen?"

His heart had been lingering on that magical and shocking scene from just now; he was truly curious.

Su Chen smiled calmly and said:

"I was just about to tell you about this! Elder Zhao, Captain Zhao!"
