429: Super production line is more advanced than Germany

Ren Yi gestured to a Fenglei employee, who plugged a Fenglei New Energy vehicle into a charging pile and began demonstrating the charging process.

Originally, Zhu Chao didn't think there was anything to see, but when he saw the Fenglei employee constantly switching between different voltages and the charging efficiency automatically adjusting, he instantly became unsettled.

What kind of variable voltage technology is this? Even the State Grid can't do it.

Seeing their shocked expressions, Ren Yi felt a bit smug.

"How is it, Director Zhu? Do you still think what I said before was bragging?"

"Is it... is it safe?"

At this moment, a subordinate next to Zhu Chao asked with concern.

Ren Yi sighed. If it were the domestic power grid, this problem wouldn't exist at all.

However, he could only answer honestly now:

"Relatively safe. After all, I haven't personally inspected Europe's circuit system, so I don't know its load capacity. If it's overloaded, it could still lead to a grid collapse."

"Then that's their problem!"

Zhu Chao laughed loudly:

"This adaptive charging pile is excellent. What about its cost?"

Earlier, Ren Yi said he wanted to take over Europe's charging pile business.

Labor costs in Europe are very high, and if the State Grid used its own people, it would certainly be cheaper.

However, a crucial condition for them to acquire power grids in other countries is to employ local people and provide them with job opportunities.

And for national security reasons, these countries still need to have enough technical personnel within their power grids.

Therefore, if the cost of this charging pile is too high, it would be difficult to fully deploy it in Europe.

But when it came to cost, Ren Yi smiled:

"Considering Europe's relatively backward power infrastructure, our charging piles will temporarily not offer the Instant Charge function, so the cost is half that of Fenglei's original super charging piles."

"Really? I see your charging pile has such advanced technology; it must use many incredible advanced technologies. How can it still be half cheaper?"

As the head of the State Grid, Zhu Chao was quite knowledgeable about industry-related information.

Take, for example, the function of automatically adapting to voltage. They also have the necessary components and technology, but the cost would be very high, making it less cost-effective than installing a converter.

If various converters were compressed into one charging pile, the cost would double.

In a place like Europe, it goes without saying.

And now Ren Yi actually said it's half the cost of the original charging pile?

This is simply too exaggerated.

This means that, compared to the State Grid's existing technology, they are already far behind Fenglei.

"I don't need to lie about this, because our Fenglei recently developed a new Super Production Line that can greatly optimize the production process, which is why the cost has been reduced so much."

At this point, the R&D Department Head stepped forward to explain.

This was also an opportunity Ren Yi gave him.

After all, the R&D Department Head is currently the overall head of the Super Production Line, and it is very necessary for him to show his face in front of someone of Director Zhu's caliber.

"Super Production Line? Is it that amazing? You've certainly piqued my curiosity. I must go and inspect it on-site."

Zhu Chao said with a chuckle.

"Of course, Director Zhu is welcome anytime."

Ren Yi immediately agreed.

Inspections by national leaders are newsworthy and provide very positive publicity for a company.

Given Fenglei's current popularity, although it doesn't need to engage in such flashy things, sometimes appropriate marketing can't hurt.

Especially news that connects with important national agencies, departments, and enterprises can greatly increase Fenglei's brand awareness and user trust.

"Alright, we still need to experiment with this adaptive charging pile and conduct a more comprehensive evaluation before deciding on further cooperation. I hope President Ren can understand."

Zhu Chao returned to the main topic at this point.

There had been companies before that brought leaders for inspection, but the demonstrated items were fake, and the country was cheated out of billions.

Now, even for a well-known domestic enterprise like Fenglei, the necessary procedures must still be followed when cooperating.

Ren Yi was well aware of this and expressed his understanding.

"That's as it should be."

"How about this, there's no time like the present. I happen to be free today, so I'll go to your factory with you and see what this Super Production Line looks like."

Zhu Chao now proposed a new request.

"No problem."

Upon hearing this, Ren Yi decisively agreed.

Anyone who hears about the production efficiency of the Super Production Line will question it.

Now is the best time to prove its strength.

Ren Yi had no reason to refuse.

And Zhu Chao thought the same.

Because they, the State Grid, could also produce adaptive charging piles, just at a higher cost.

But from what Ren Yi said, this Super Production Line seemed to possess extraordinary capabilities.

So, of course, they had to investigate the truth.

After some arrangements, Ren Yi took Zhu Chao and other State Grid leaders and officials on his private jet back to Fenglei Headquarters.

In the production workshop.

Unlike the workshops Zhu Chao and his colleagues had seen before, this one was intelligent and fully automated.

Throughout the entire production line, only the control room had technical personnel busy at work.

The actual production was handled by various robotic arms.

Zhu Chao and the others were all deeply impressed by this scene.

"This is truly intelligent industry!"

The concept of intelligent industry was actually a vision proposed some years ago by modern industrial powers, led by Germany, to cope with the rapid development of information technology.

However, due to various reasons, such as an aging population and happy education, there has been a severe shortage of low- and mid-level workers and Engineers there in recent decades.

But even so, Germany's intelligence remains world-class.

The well-informed Zhu Chao had naturally witnessed how powerful Germany's automated factories were.

He always wished that such automated production lines belonged to his own country.

Unexpectedly, he was now witnessing it firsthand.

And Fenglei's Super Production Line looked even more advanced than Germany's.

He didn't know if this was just an illusion.

"President Ren, is your Super Production Line completely independently researched and produced?"

Zhu Chao asked incredulously.

"Of course, the new technologies used in this production line are basically all independently researched and developed by us.

I can guarantee that no foreign company in the relevant field will be able to catch up with us within the next twenty years."

At this, Ren Yi was quite confident, after all, this was a super black technology drawn from the system.

If other countries wanted to catch up, Ren Yi could always bring out newer ones and surpass them.

After hearing Ren Yi's words, Zhu Chao knew that this project was solid.

However, as he continued to observe, a new question arose:

"President Ren, your Super Production Line doesn't seem to be producing super charging piles, nor is it producing your Fenglei cars. What exactly is it producing?"

Zhu Chao's question made the Fenglei employees present laugh.

In fact, they were also very confused at the time.

It was just that now it was the turn of Zhu Chao and the State Grid leaders.

Ren Yi, on the other hand, smiled and explained:

"Director Zhu, your eyes are truly sharp. We are indeed not producing charging piles or new energy vehicles, but rather another, even more important product. Can you guess what it is?"
