The people who were invited by Yang Qi were all from extraordinary backgrounds.
Zhou Qiang was just an accessory, otherwise he would not be qualified to participate in this kind of ceremony.
There were many guests arriving.
Judging from their temperament and demeanor, they are all powerful people in Haidong City.
Yibo Heavy Industry Company set up a cocktail party-like venue here, with all kinds of wine and various delicacies and cakes.
Su Xiuyuan felt like a fish in water when he arrived here.
Zhou Qiang didn't know these people, and he was hungry.
So he just walked over here, took his favorite pastries and ate them. He was really not polite.
The one month since the end of the world brought about tremendous changes to Zhou Qiang.
Now Zhou Qiang will not be scared even if facing the world's richest man.
In fact, in Zhou Qiang's opinion, this testing ceremony should be a meeting for Yang Qi to raise funds.
Ten billion is far from enough to get things done.
With the strength of Yi Bo Heavy Industry Company, I really can’t handle it.
That is why Yang Qi attaches great importance to this test.
He did not launch pure electric vehicles first, but hybrid vehicles, in order to enter the market as soon as possible.
The outside world is still somewhat concerned about pure electric vehicles.
Hybrid power, which is between fuel and pure electric, perfectly solves the problems of endurance and energy saving.
He really wanted to cut a piece of this cake.
…………
Inside a huge workshop of Yibo Heavy Industries Company.
An engineer in his fifties was sweating profusely and had an anxious look on his face.
More than 20 people were now surrounding a car whose design met the general aesthetic standards of the market, and were running around in a panic.
Yang Qi was also among them.
He looked grim.
Subconsciously pulling at the tie to allow myself more air circulation.
"Mr. Wu, is there any way to solve this problem?"
Yang Qi asked.
Engineer Wu said with a bitter look on his face, "Boss Yang, I'm afraid we don't have the ability to solve this problem."
The vehicle was tested fine yesterday.
But when I checked this morning, I found a huge problem.
Not only did the engine fault light come on, but there was also a problem with the electronic control program (EECS).
Engineer Wu and dozens of R&D team members spent more than an hour trying various methods but still failed to find the cause of the problem.
They used the computer to eliminate the engine check light, but it came back immediately when the ignition was turned on.
This causes the engine to automatically shut down as soon as it is ignited.
The electronic control program drives them even crazier.
It seems that there is a problem in the logic, which causes the power to fluctuate and the car to suddenly jump when using an electric motor.
That's not important.
What is important is that the electronic control program may get out of control.
If this problem occurs while driving, the car may be destroyed and people may die.
If these two problems cannot be solved, the test ceremony will not be able to proceed.
Yang Qi became anxious.
"Wasn't everything fine yesterday?"
"Why are you telling me now that I can't?"
"Do you know how many people are outside? They are all gods of wealth. If they knew that our test car had such a big problem, would they still have confidence in our Yibo Heavy Industries Company?"
The more Yang Qi talked, the angrier he became.
Looking at the dozens of people here.
These are the engineers he hired at great expense.
But now they are helpless.
Mr. Wu was also anxious, but he really had no other choice.
"Boss Yang, now we can only ask for external help to solve the problem."
After saying this, Mr. Wu was also embarrassed.
If this were to get out, Yibo Heavy Industries would lose face.
After further media hype, will users still trust Yibo Auto?
Yang Qi was also helpless.
He nodded.
I looked at the time and there was still time before the start, so it should be resolved in time.
He immediately took out his phone and made a call.
"Mr. Smith? Yes, yes, I'm Yang..."
"What? You guys are asking for 10 million just to troubleshoot a problem?"
Yang Qi almost wanted to smash his phone.
If it is just an investigation and a solution, you will have to pay a fee depending on the size of the problem.
In other words, if he wants to solve the problem, he will have to pay at least 300 to 500 million.
However, Yang Qi still restrained his anger.
These foreigners are just taking advantage of our backward automobile technology.
But given the current situation, Yang Qi had no choice but to ask them for help.
"OK!"
Finally, Yang Qi gritted his teeth and agreed.
In fact, they approached Smith because their team was very familiar with the engine installed in the Yibo car. This engine was derived from Smith's engine and could be considered an imitation and improvement.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Qi looked at Engineer Wu.
Wu Gong shrank his neck.
Even the other engineers lowered their heads in shame.
It is really shameful that they are unable to do anything about such problems, and it also shows their incompetence.
Engineer Wu stamped his foot and said, "Boss Yang, let's continue investigating and handling this matter."
Yang Qi nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wu."
What can he say, curse?
"You guys do your best. I'll go to the front and appease the guests."
Yang Qi came to the front.
Almost all the guests have arrived here.
When they saw Yang Qi appear, everyone came to talk to him.
Yang Qi forced himself to smile.
"Mr. Yang."
Zhou Qiang greeted him.
Yang Qi still had some impression of Zhou Qiang and nodded politely.
Zhou Qiang was just a supporting role, a supporting actor, so after Yang Qi nodded, he started chatting with several executives of the investment company.
"Don't worry, this test will definitely be successful."
“Yes, I am very confident in the car we have developed.”
"Starting with hybrid is to quickly enter the market."
"This is natural. The new car will definitely not disappoint everyone."
Even though he was uneasy inside, Yang Qi still pretended to be confident.
After Zhou Qiang had eaten and drunk his fill, he found a chair and sat down.
Maybe Zhou Qiang's dress was too ordinary, so almost no one came to chat with him or exchange business cards.
Zhou Qiang was also happy to have some free time.
About forty minutes later, Yang Qi received a call and left in a hurry.
Inside the workshop.
Three foreigners were standing in front of the car carrying tool boxes.
Yang Qi walked in and said to the pale-haired foreigner in the lead, "Mr. Smith, how is it?"
Smith said confidently: "Don't worry, trust us."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
When Yang Qi asked for help, he had to lower his posture very much.
"Yang, remember to prepare 10 million."
Smith smiled faintly, waved his hand and said in English: "Guys, get to work."
There was arrogance in their eyes and on their faces.
He even looked down upon the Chinese people in front of him.
Playing with cars?
They have been playing this game for nearly a hundred years, and the person in front of them is not even a beginner.
As for their attitude, Wu Gong and his colleagues didn't dare to say a word.
The three of them are indeed very experienced.
They expertly opened the tool box, took out their computer, and connected it to the car's port.
Groups of data were jumping around, and they began to investigate.
Everyone in the entire workshop held their breath.
There was no way out, the ceremony was about to begin and all hope rested on them.
Yang Qi stood at the side and could only worry.
He was as anxious as an ant on hot pot.
Walk around the car.
At the beginning, Smith and the other two looked relaxed.
But soon, the relaxed look on their faces disappeared and turned serious.
Even the arrogance in his eyes was put away.
Sometimes, they frowned.
"this……"
Yang Qi was worried. Could it be that even Smith and the others couldn't find the problem?
If even they can’t solve it, who else can?
The most important thing is that he is going to conduct a test today for the purpose of raising funds. If he messes up, it will affect the future survival of Yibo Automobile. If things go wrong, it will affect the main business of Yibo Heavy Industry and lead to the bankruptcy of the company.
The more he thought about it, the more scared Yang Qi became.
I felt sweat on my forehead.
"Smith, how is it?"
Yang Qi couldn't help but ask.
Smith, who was arrogant and confident just now, also had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He kept saying, "Yang, don't worry, OK? Give us a little more time."
In his heart, Smith also felt strange.
They couldn't even check the problem.
Ten minutes later.
Smith exhaled lightly and said, "Yang, I'm sorry, we can't find out where the problem is in a short time, let alone solve it. I think it will take at least a week to solve it."
"ah……"
Yang Qi was desperate.
One week?
He couldn't wait any longer now.
Smith said, "Yang, there's no point in being anxious. I can assure you that no one can solve the problem in a short time. Maybe you can find someone who is good at programming. With their help, the probability of finding the problem will be greater."
"Procedural?"
Yang Qi frowned.
He seemed to have thought of something, and said in a delighted tone, "Wait a minute."
Isn’t Su Xiuyuan here?
His Tianfang Company is very famous in Haidong City and is also well-known in the country.
Should it be possible to find him?
He called Su Xiuyuan's cell phone immediately.
…………
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Su Xiuyuan, who received the call, frowned after hearing the content.
Zhou Qiang was chatting with Su Xiuyuan.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Qiang saw that Su Xiuyuan didn't look very good.
Su Xiuyuan said, "Old Yang has some problems, and he wants me to go take a look. Want to go with him?"
I'm just sitting here doing nothing, and there's no one around.
Of course Zhou Qiang wanted it more than ever.
Led by the employees, Su Xiuyuan and Zhou Qiang quickly arrived at the workshop.
From a distance, I saw three foreigners surrounded by a group of engineers, each with an anxious look on their face.
Yang Qi, in particular, was even more anxious.
A car with a very nice shape was parked in the workshop.
"Lao Su, hurry up."
As if he had found a savior, Yang Qi ran over, took Su Xiuyuan's hand, and began to talk about the problem.
There was no reason for Su Xiuyuan not to help with such matters.
I immediately called the company and asked them to send someone.
"Old Yang, you'd better not hold out any hope. After all, our company doesn't do much research on electronic control system programs."
Yang Qi nodded. What could he do now?
After listening to it, Zhou Qiang roughly understood what was going on.
It turns out that there is something wrong with the car in front of me.
Not only were our own engineers unable to solve the problem, even when we invited foreigners, there was no solution.
In the end, he actually had to ask for help from Su Xiuyuan, who was a software developer.
Zhou Qiang was also completely clueless about these things.
So all we can do is watch the fun from the sidelines.
