Wang Mingtang seemed to have been persuaded, and Lu Fan did not continue to try to persuade him, but instead let the former figure it out on his own.

But only regarding the battery life and such that he mentioned...

Actually, gasoline-powered cars also have a lot of problems.

Changes in the environment can also affect the fuel consumption of gasoline-powered vehicles.

Lu Fan calculated the production time in the assembly line workshop and then said definitively:

"At the latest, all the orders received at the previous auto show will be delivered within six months."

Ideally, the charging pile project led by Wang Mingtang could be rolled out to surrounding counties and cities within the next six months.

Wang Mingtang understood Lu Fan's meaning and nodded, saying:

"Okay, give me the application materials to '480', I'll handle this part. If nothing unexpected happens, I think you should be able to get what you want this time."

He didn't make any absolute statements, but he did give Lu Fan a guarantee.

Lu Fan was alright, and Zhang Qingyi breathed a long sigh of relief.

In her view, the new energy project has been full of twists and turns.

Who would have thought that she would encounter so many things after returning to China with Professor Cheng?

First, the project received a large investment, amounting to one or two billion yuan.

Then the project failed...

Then, Lu Fan, this wealthy and powerful customer, appeared. In between, the car show went from being deserted to becoming a hot commodity, and there were even some thugs causing trouble at their door.

We've finally taken another step forward.

Zhang Qingyi was filled with emotion.

Professor Cheng is the same; after all, this is the result of his research, which he has been immersed in for over ten or twenty years.

How could I not be excited!

As news of the charging pile project was released.

Even more people are paying attention to new energy electric vehicles. The Lingnan area is the most bustling with interest.

After all, the car factory is located near the suburbs.

After the auto show ended, there was a constant stream of controversy online, which can be seen as an involuntary way to generate buzz for new energy electric vehicles.

Lu Fan then did not allow Lü Qiuyi's legal team to get involved.

After that, the controversy subsided, and news spread like wildfire that the new energy project had been officially recognized and that the project was involved in building basic charging infrastructure.

Wouldn't those who are already interested in new energy electric vehicles be eager to get started?

Although some of the orders placed at the previous auto show were cancelled.

However, it was quickly snapped up by newcomers.

Some wealthy and influential people even came to the car factory to test drive and place orders.

For these people, vehicles are not a necessity; it's like getting a new phone or a new toy.

New energy, such a novel term, everyone's talking about it, how could they not join in the fun?

New gadgets are definitely different.

The excitement surrounding Lingnan City hasn't died down yet, and now people are also coming to look at cars in Nanshan City, which is the closest to the city.

After all, Lu Fan is now considered an entrepreneur in Nanshan City.

Although its new energy electric vehicle factory was built in Lingnan City, all subsequent work was still handled in Nanshan City.

So everyone thought that this car was a status symbol for Nanshan City.

Because the hype remained high, Wang Mingtang's application was going smoothly. That day, Lu Fan was still looking at potential locations for the new factory with Zhang Qingyi.

Wang Mingtang then called:

"The application has been submitted, and we should get a result soon."

He smiled as he said this:

"It's still quite relaxed. Don't feel any pressure here. Continue with other orders and factory selections. We will provide you with the fullest support."

Lu Fan understood Wang Mingtang's implication, and a thought struck him. He smiled and said:

"What's going on? Before, they were making excuses and thought the project wouldn't work, but now the application is almost approved and other progress is also catching up?"

Wang Mingtang knew that Lu Fan was targeting him, but he didn't mind at all.

In order to endorse the new energy project, Wang Mingtang was also praised by his superiors.

He didn't care about praise, but being remembered by his superiors would greatly help his future career.

He even had to thank Lu Fan for this:

"If nothing unexpected happens, it's all settled. There are just some procedures to go through, which will take a few days. Don't let this delay your work here."

"The reason it's so fast isn't because of me. Your new energy project is a green and environmentally friendly project, and it's also very popular. The higher-ups are paying close attention to it."

Lu Fan also appreciated his kindness:

"Okay, I understand. I'm prepared."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Fan relayed the message to Zhang Qingyi:

“You’ve been in charge of the car factory all along. Go back and tell them that they can work overtime to catch up on the orders.”

"Regarding the charging piles, in the end, it will still have to be handled by the city government, since the project to lay out the infrastructure is quite large."

Zhang Qingyi nodded, then asked Lu Fan:

“Recently, a lot of people have been going to the car factory to do test drives, and many live streamers have also contacted the factory to film videos.”

"Some people in the factory want to take on these events, and they asked me to ask you, Mr. Lu, if you have time to host them?"

That's what they say, but Zhang Qingyi had actually asked Assistant Zhu and knew that Lu Fan was extremely busy and couldn't spare much time.

As expected, Lu Fan only thought about it for a moment before refusing:

"The test drive will be coordinated and arranged by the factory. As for the live stream videos and such..."
