Chapter 300: With technology, you really can do whatever you want!
"What???"
"They built such a powerful car in just two days???"
"Never mind the battery and the engine, just this anti-collision material on the outside—if it were left to us to develop, I doubt we could build it even in decades!"
"Are everyone on that team gods?"
An expert widened his eyes, his face full of shock and frustration, and couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
When the other experts heard this, they nodded one after another; the feeling of comfort they had just barely found in their hearts was instantly filled with endless frustration again.
Comparing people really makes you want to die of anger!
The gap is just too big!
How are they, also doing scientific research, able to come up with such powerful things in such a short time, leaving us in the dust?!
If they knew that the true core figure of that mysterious team in Dragon Country was actually just Su Chen, their jaws would probably drop even further in surprise.
However, these experts were, after all, dedicated to the country's scientific research cause, and their frustration slowly dissipated with self-consolation.
After all, everyone wanted the country to become stronger, and they sincerely hoped that the country could possess such a powerful car to win more benefits in the global market.
However, there was another country far across the ocean that felt a strong sense of frustration because of this new concept car!
And they wouldn't be able to recover from it so easily.
At this moment, in a conference room in the USA, a group of high-level officials were gathered in front of a huge screen, watching this live broadcast from Dragon Country with displeasure on their faces.
Originally, they hadn't paid any attention to this live broadcast at all. In their inherent view, how could the technological level of Dragon Country's cars compare to their old, established car manufacturing companies with long histories!
It simply wasn't in the same league.
However, they never expected that these car companies in Dragon Country would find such a powerful "foreign aid," and this foreign aid was none other than the Dragon Country officials themselves.
This made them feel very uncomfortable.
President Biden was so angry he gritted his teeth, his face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and he said indignantly:
"Dragon Country must have applied their military manufacturing technology to their cars!"
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to build such a powerful car!"
"Hmph, so, can you really do whatever you want if you have technology?"
General Derek also frowned, his face full of worry and helplessness, and he chimed in:
"In this case, what competitive ability do our cars have left?"
"This car from Dragon Country is just too tempting; even I want to buy one to drive after seeing it!"
"If this is launched into the market, won't it shatter our automotive industry into pieces?"
When President Biden heard this, his sense of crisis became even stronger!
He paced back and forth in the conference room irritably, and after thinking for a while, he said with a serious expression:
"It seems we need to hurry up; issuing a restriction order against Dragon Country is already imminent!"
"We cannot let their cars enter our market, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
But whenever he thought of this restriction order, President Biden felt even more frustrated!
Originally, they had already contacted Japan, South Korea, and some countries in Europe, thinking that everyone would unite to put pressure on Dragon Country.
However, they all refused to agree to issue targeted restrictions against Dragon Country because they were worried that doing so would lead to resentment from Dragon Country, thereby causing them to be unable to enjoy the benefits of the Eternal Day Project!
Especially Japan; even though Dragon Country had already rejected them and refused to share the results of the Eternal Day Project with them, they still didn't dare to offend Dragon Country!
Just at this moment, the Secretary of State suddenly spoke up!
He looked calm and composed, a stark contrast to the anxious and angry people around him!
Seeing this, everyone looked at him with some confusion, wondering: things are already urgent, why is the Secretary of State still so calm? Does he have some good solution?
The Secretary of State slightly raised his chin and said unhurriedly:
"Gentlemen, you don't need to be so nervous!"
"I admit that the various performances of the new concept car launched by Dragon Country this time are indeed very advanced. No matter which key technology you take out, it is not something we can compare with, and even if we spend several years researching it, we may not be able to develop it!"
"But..."
The Secretary of State paused deliberately when he said this!
The conference room suddenly quieted down, and everyone held their breath, watching him intently, waiting for him to continue.
The Secretary of State was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and he continued:
"But... how much do you think the selling price of this new concept car, which combines various advanced technologies, will be?"
General Derek was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said:
"At least five million dollars!"
"With such an amazing car, the production cost must not be low. If it were sold cheaply, I wouldn't think it fits its status."
As soon as he said this, others raised objections one after another.
"Five million dollars? Just that impact capability, which exceeds a tank, is worth five million!"
"If I may be blunt, it must be at least ten million dollars!"
"Ten million dollars??? So expensive, who can afford to drive it!"
"I guess only those wealthy people can afford it!"
"However, although it is expensive, I think it is indeed worth this price, after all, this technology is too advanced."
Hearing their discussion, the corners of the Secretary of State's mouth raised slightly, and he couldn't suppress the smile:
"So, haven't you realized it yet?"
"Dragon Country manufacturing such an expensive car will not cause us any impact at all!"
"It won't take away much market share either, because those who can afford their cars are definitely people who are not short of money. They don't care about buying a second or third one, and these people are definitely not the main force of car consumption."
"I can even directly assert that this car from Dragon Country is completely contrary to their strategy of focusing on cost-effectiveness and grabbing global automotive market share."
"You all just sit back and wait for the show, there's no need to make such a fuss."
After listening to the Secretary of State's seemingly well-reasoned analysis, the people present immediately clapped their hands excitedly!
The gloom on their faces was instantly dispelled quite a bit, and they praised him one after another.
"That's right! That's right! Worthy of being our Secretary of State, the analysis is truly quite thorough!"
"Yes, such an advanced car must be ridiculously expensive to produce; there is no way it can compete with our other cars for market share. Now we can rest assured."
