Wang Mingtang would not let go of this golden opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Lu Fan didn't get too involved in the new energy projects, but he was very concerned about the establishment of the subsidiary.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, the project must begin mass production.

He sought out Zhang Qingyi:

"There are still too few talents in this field in China. How about it, can Professor Cheng's students get jobs from abroad?"

Zhang Qingyi shook his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"There's no news yet, but I'll keep following up."

As the two were talking, Jiang Manyue, holding her laptop, knocked on the door.

Zhang Qingyi quickly stood up: "Vice President Jiang, I..."

Jiang Manyue waved her hand, "Please sit down, I just want to say a few words." Lu Fan also looked at Jiang Manyue curiously, "What's wrong?"

He came running over looking like this, it must be something to do at the company. But Jiang Manyue seemed to know what he was thinking, and shook her head, saying, "Look at this news, I thought it was an April Fool's joke, but it's actually true."

Following Jiang Manyue's gaze, Lu Fan looked at the computer screen.

The headline on the screen was news of Gu Ruan, president of Shengjing Company, stepping down.

He was also taken aback: "Why so suddenly?"

It should be noted that the president of Shengjing Company is a re-elected position, while Gu Ruan has not even completed her three-year term, so how could she possibly resign voluntarily?

Jiang Manyue felt that the matter was quite serious, which is why she came in to tell Lu Fan at this time.

Lu Fan looked at the message, but didn't see a replacement for Gu Ru'an:

"We can't just fire Gu Ru'an before Shengjing Company has even decided on a president position, can we?"

Jiang Manyue didn't know the specifics, but said, "It can't be without reason. Even if sales are declining over there, it can't be said that Gu Ruan is solely responsible."

Lu Fan looked at Jiang Manyue: "Are you suspicious?"

Jiang Manyue nodded: "Shengjing Company must be planning something big." She was worried that the restructuring would be detrimental to the Lu family.

After all, the poor performance in the two quarters was due to the Lu family brand being overshadowed.

Thinking that Shengjing couldn't be dealt with head-on, they were resorting to underhanded tactics behind the scenes.

Her concerns were not unfounded.

Lu Fan, however, felt that there was no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days:

"We should just focus on doing our own thing. As for Shengjing, we can only deal with them as they come."

Jiang Manyue smiled and pointed at Zhang Qingyi:

"I know you're focused on new energy right now. Don't worry, I'll definitely report anything I can't handle here."

After Jiang Manyue left, Lu Fan noticed Zhang Qingyi was lost in thought and asked her with a smile what she was pondering.

Zhang Qingyi said rather embarrassedly:

"It's nothing, just some extra thought inspired by what Vice President Jiang said." "It's too early to think about what those companies will do to Professor Cheng and the new energy subsidiary."

"Mr. Lu, have you considered the future development of our new energy sector?"

The new company is about to be established, but they don't have a real product yet.

Its technology alone has made some industry giants wary.

Zhang Qingyi couldn't help but think more deeply.

Lu Fan had thought about her question before.

It's no wonder that traditional car companies flocked to Lu Fan, and even Professor Cheng and his team.

It's really because...

Lu Fan's progress is going very smoothly.

To this day, the electric vehicle industry has been nothing more than a gimmick. Many traditional car companies have used this label to make a profit, but there is not a single car company that actually uses new energy as its driving force!

...

Lu Fan felt that applying their technology to mobile phones or other projects would be a waste of such advanced technology.

If this technology were applied to automotive energy, its value would more than double, potentially reaching tens of millions.

Everyone is talking about environmental protection, green living, developing new energy sources, and changing the current state of the automotive industry.

After all, global warming is an undeniable fact.

If this move can change the current state of the automotive industry, it will certainly gain widespread public approval.

Lu Fan thought for a moment and then suggested a word to Zhang Qingyi: "Green, environmental protection, what do you think of this theme?"

But for Zhang Qingyi, those two words... caused her features to furrow and twist together.

It clearly stirred up many unpleasant memories for her.

Zhang Qingyi attended university abroad, where the environment was very particular about what was right and wrong.

Environmental protection was a topic that was very popular and controversial in both schools and society at the time.

She never expected that, after being away from school for so long, she would hear that word from a domestic entrepreneur.

In an instant, Zhang Qingyi understood Lu Fan's idea, and her eyes lit up: "You mean...yes..."

But what is it?

Zhang Qingyi said with some difficulty:

"Professor Cheng and his team say their project has achieved groundbreaking results, but isn't the leap from a battery to a car too big?" Lu Fan chuckled.

Zhang Qingyi underestimated him.
