186: Chapter 186 It seems Teresa has become addicted to business warfare!
On stage, Wang Sifu seemed not to notice the subtle atmosphere at the venue and continued, "Technology has no borders, but we at BYD have always firmly believed that only by mastering core technologies can one remain invincible in fierce market competition; therefore, we have always been committed to the independent research and development of technology..."
"At the same time, we are also willing to cooperate and innovate with all like-minded enterprises to jointly promote industry progress!"
His words were watertight, simultaneously demonstrating BYD's confidence in technology and signaling a willingness to cooperate.
But almost everyone also received one signal.
Like-minded!
In the field of new energy vehicle, BYD has always followed the path of independent research and development.
Thinking about it this way, they and Tesla definitely do not share the same ambitions or path.
After all, Tesla is almost purely a foreign enterprise, and just before, Wang Sifu said not to take crooked paths...
And Tesla's unsophisticated behavior of sending people to smash Fanmi's Lucky Cat and Money Tree should be more than just a crooked path; it is also feudal superstition!
"As expected of President Wang!"
Lei Jun sat off-stage, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth, admiring him inwardly.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes; Wang Sifu's words seemed not to offend anyone, yet he said everything he wanted to say.
As long as one has a brain, one can basically understand the meaning.
Most importantly, it did not expose the cooperation between BYD and Fanmi.
One could tell from Zhu Danyang's expression that although he looked at Wang Sifu with a serious expression, he did not look towards his side.
Apparently, he had not yet realized the core of the matter.
Soon, Wang Sifu stepped off the stage.
As the meeting progressed, one corporate president after another took the stage to speak.
Lei Jun and Zhu Danyang were naturally no exception.
But after the initial episode, Zhu Danyang had no mood to talk eloquently here, and his face was not good from beginning to end.
He just hurriedly said a few words and stepped off the stage amidst the eyes of the crowd watching a show.
Lei Jun also just made an official statement, indicating that although Fanmi is already laying out the new energy vehicle field, it is still a novice, and so on...
Others didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
After all, in the new energy vehicle field, Fanmi is indeed a layman, and in the short term, no one thinks they can make any big waves.
After the forum ended, a crowd of reporters swarmed like cats smelling fishy, surrounding Wang Sifu tightly.
"President Wang, will BYD cooperate with Tesla?"
"Does the joint innovation you mentioned just now mean that you will cooperate with other enterprises?"
"What is your take on the recent turmoil between Tesla and Fanmi?"
One question after another, sharp and full of topicality.
This conference was actually more boring than imagined; the most important thing was the cocktail party after the conference, where enterprises with cooperation intentions would come together to continue negotiations.
And for these reporters, the biggest highlight during the conference was undoubtedly the words Wang Sifu said.
At this moment, they would certainly not waste the opportunity.
Wang Sifu smiled and waved his hand: "Regarding cooperation, if there is definite news, we will announce it. As for the industry turmoil, I will say the same thing: I hope everyone can focus their energy on technological innovation, which is the foundation of enterprise and industry development!"
After speaking, he left the hall under the escort of staff, leaving behind a group of reporters looking at each other in dismay.
Wang Sifu's words seemed to have said everything.
But in reality... it seemed like nothing was said.
"It seems we can only use our imagination..." a reporter couldn't help but sigh and mutter.
"Is there really a cooperation between BYD and Tesla?"
"President Wang's words were already very obvious, right? The recent rumors are probably just Tesla's business strategy..."
"Interesting, Tesla is addicted to playing business wars!"
During the low-voiced discussion, none of the reporters noticed that Zhu Danyang happened to walk past them just when they were interviewing Wang Sifu.
Now, hearing these words, Zhu Danyang's face became even uglier.
But he didn't say anything.
He went straight to his car and left the venue.
...
"Damn it, that old fox Wang Sifu! How dare he play me!"
In the car, Zhu Danyang could no longer hold back, cursing out loud, his chest heaving violently.
He kicked the backrest of the passenger seat fiercely, his face gloomy.
The assistant secretary sitting in the front dared not make a sound: "..."
He originally thought that Wang Sifu was really considering cooperating with him before.
But those words at the forum made it very clear that there was no possibility of cooperation between the two sides.
He felt like a clown being toyed with.
"President Zhu, where are we going now? During the conference, several car companies made appointments to meet with you. Now... should we still meet?" After a long time, the assistant in front spoke cautiously.
Zhu Danyang took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.
He knew it was not the time to be angry; he had to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the whole internet would soon know that he, Zhu Danyang, was just a clown, being played around by BYD and Wang Sifu!
By then, Tesla's image would definitely be affected to some extent.
He really couldn't figure out why things had turned out like this.
It was completely different from the development he had expected...
"Immediately suspend all contact with BYD!" Zhu Danyang ordered in a deep voice, "Since they are unjust, don't blame us for being heartless."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Immediately release news online, saying that the cooperation we originally agreed upon has encountered an accident, and we will look for new partners. Contact those car companies at the conference that are interested in entering the new energy field, and tell them that we can provide patent technology authorization."
"President Zhu means..." the assistant was a bit confused.
"I have only one requirement; the premise of cooperation is... to jointly resist BYD's suppression of foreign-funded car companies!" Zhu Danyang sneered, "What kind of like-minded partners? BYD might as well have just said they won't cooperate with foreign companies. The enemy of an enemy is a friend!"
"I believe many people will make the right choice, especially those traditional foreign-funded car companies that want to enter the new energy vehicle field..."
"Yes!" The assistant nodded quickly.
After a simple exchange, the car fell into silence again.
Zhu Danyang's face remained gloomy.
For some reason, he always felt a bit uncomfortable.
It seemed like some important information had been missed...
This feeling always made him uneasy, unable to think calmly.
"Did we see Lei Jun when we left?"
He suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
The assistant thought for a while, then shook his head gently.
"No, I didn't see him after leaving the hall. He should have left the venue directly..."
"Impossible!" Zhu Danyang's tone was low.
Fanmi has been in the limelight during this period. Although they have just entered the new energy vehicle field, many car companies must be interested in them.
And their R&D team is very powerful; there is no reason for them to leave so low-key...
Thinking of this, Zhu Danyang's heart stirred slightly.
Then he suddenly spoke.
"Turn around and go back!"
"Go back?" The assistant was puzzled.
The driver was also stunned for a moment.
"President Zhu, if we go back now, it will take about half an hour..."
"Don't talk nonsense, go back!!!"
Zhu Danyang shouted in a low voice, and the uneasy premonition in his heart suddenly became stronger.
"Fanmi... BYD..."
Why did Wang Sifu mention the matter between Tesla and Fanmi at the conference?
Although it seemed like just a casual mention.
But if it wasn't for ulterior motives, an old fox like Wang Sifu...
How could he publicly embarrass him at the conference?
This is definitely not the magnanimity a CEO of a listed company should have!
The more he thought about it, the more Zhu Danyang felt that something was wrong.
