Just as they stepped out of the office, they bumped into Lu Yuan, who was eavesdropping outside the window.
Old Dai saw the cold glint in Lu Yuan's eyes and said to him coldly.
"You little rascal, eavesdropping here, huh? I heard you've made something of yourself now, hooking up with people in the military."
Lu Yuan smiled slightly when he saw the other party's sarcastic expression.
"What's wrong? Are you upset to see others doing business with the military?"
The other party flicked his hand and snorted coldly.
"I'm not envious at all. I'll make you all regret it. You want to monopolize all the new energy sources in the Eastern Continent? Fine, I'll give you that opportunity. Let's see if you can take it back. A kid who hasn't even grown a beard yet dares to compete with us. He's just overestimating himself."
After snorting, Old Dai led his men away from the military region's office.
Lu Yuan found it somewhat amusing, watching their retreating figures, then shook his head helplessly and walked into his office.
Xu Zhenhao, who had just been full of anger, now had a smile on his face.
He leisurely took out a cigar and lit it lightly.
Seeing the other person's expression, Lu Yuan could roughly guess how realistic his performance had been, to the point that everyone below was so engrossed in it.
However, Lu Yuan still kindly offered a reminder.
"General, these people are no ordinary people. It's best not to provoke them."
Xu Zhenhao sighed softly, stood up, walked to the windowsill, and turned his back to him.
Do you know why I argued with them?
"Aren't they the ones who are arguing with you now? Aren't they very angry because you're protecting me?"
Xu Zhenhao nodded slightly.
"That's right, but that's only part of it. The most crucial point is that these people feel they're about to die of old age and be replaced, so they're panicking and that's why they're in such a hurry."
"Oh, dying of old age and being replaced? You mean I'm going to replace them?"
Xu Zhenhao shook his head helplessly, reached into a pile of folders, took out a booklet, and tossed it to Lu Yuan.
"To date, there are more than 100 companies across the continent engaged in the production of new energy. Although our eastern continent accounts for half of them, only two of our companies are among the top 50."
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing his words.
He hurriedly opened the folder and, sure enough, saw at the very last moment that it contained information about Julong Technology and Zhendong Company.
"No way, out of all their companies, only one is Zhendong Company, and it's even a parts manufacturer, yet it's ranked so high?"
Xu Zhenhao sighed helplessly.
"That's why I rushed to find you. These people are using outdated things from many years ago, yet they still regard them as gospel. They have absolutely no ambition."
Looking at Xu Zhenhao's pained expression, Lu Yuan could roughly guess that the other party was now completely despondent.
If he had even the slightest hope for his subordinates, he probably wouldn't have argued with them at the beginning.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a greater weight on his shoulders.
"This time, only your two companies have signed up. Vibration Company has also launched a new type of battery. Although it is the first generation, it has already surpassed the new products produced by other new energy companies."
"This time, the General Military Region has issued an order requiring each region to submit at least two slots, so this time I can only rely on you."
Lu Yuan glanced at the companies listed in the tables above.
Previously, the assets of each of their companies had reached the level of hundreds of billions.
It makes one feel that these people are truly powerless that such a wealthy company cannot even develop a battery.
Seeing Xu Zhenhao like this, Lu Yuan immediately understood why the other party was in such distress.
"Well, it seems the burden on my shoulders has become even heavier this time."
Xu Zhenhao sighed and gently patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder.
"It all depends on you. Whether we can win this time, whether we can seize this opportunity, really depends on you."
Lu Yuan smiled softly.
"No problem. I can't speak for other aspects, but our products will definitely be outstanding. By the way, do you have any information about those other new products on the mainland? We'd like to learn more about them."
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's question, Xu Zhenhao immediately pulled out a thick stack of documents from a drawer.
“I’ve been collecting these things before, but I haven’t collected them all yet. I will definitely organize them and send them to you.”
Lu Yuan nodded slightly and accepted the heavy documents.
I randomly flipped to a page, and after seeing the contents, I felt dizzy.
This is something he can't possibly understand on his own; he needs to find some professionals to see just how advanced the other side's technology really is.
After chatting with Xu Zhenhao for a while, Lu Yuan left the military region with the heavy documents and a hard drive.
Lu Yuan first sent all these materials to the research lab.
The research lab is a research office they rented outside.
It can be used for product evaluation and small-scale experiments.
The most important thing is that they have a complete assembly workshop here.
After all, many of the precision parts require specific environments to assemble.
When the equipment team members and other staff saw these materials, their eyes lit up with excitement.
Shi Quan, who was in charge of the project, carefully looked through one of the files and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Holy crap, I never imagined that these people's technology has reached this level. Some technologies that we couldn't even handle before the apocalypse have already been achieved by them. They even have quantum computers. It seems they have truly surpassed reality."
Lu Yuan nodded slightly and whispered to Shi Quan.
"It would be best to thoroughly understand these things. Once our new product is launched and rolled off the production line, you need to provide me with a comparison chart of the products. I want to see what our chances of winning this competition are."
Shi Quan, of course, had no objections and immediately thumped his chest loudly.
"If you asked me to do research and development, I'm afraid I'd really be intimidated, but you can definitely handle product testing and such. I guarantee I'll complete the task for you."
Seeing the other party say this, Lu Yuan was finally somewhat satisfied.
