Chapter 32 Two Press Conferences



Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The FrozenTone solid-state battery launch event has officially begun.

Countless people around the world watched the press conference live online.

After a performance featuring local specialties, a senior executive from Crazy Field Company confidently walked onto the stage.

After his opening remarks, he went straight to the point.

"As we all know, the battery industry is facing a bottleneck, and existing lithium battery technology cannot meet people's travel needs."

"However, all these pain points have been solved by our company. After years of research and development, solid-state battery technology has been successfully developed."

"Our company's solid-state battery has an energy density ten times that of lithium batteries, currently the highest in the world!"

A gasp erupted from the audience, clearly astonished by the solid-state battery data!

The live stream chat was flooded with messages!

Upon hearing this data, the CEOs of the fruit company and Tesco exchanged a glance, their faces filled with surprise.

If their products use solid-state batteries, their battery life will undoubtedly be greatly improved, leaving their competitors far behind.

Sitting beside them was Masao Madda, who had a smile on his face. But if you looked closely, his face trembled slightly. He glanced at Fruit and CEO Tesla, and the anger in his eyes was almost impossible to hide!

Today, just as he was brimming with ambition and preparing to make great strides, the American consortium, represented by Fruit Company and Tesla, proposed to acquire a stake in Crazy Field.

Their intentions are clear: they're here to reap the benefits!

However, Masao Fonda simply couldn't refuse!

He knew that refusing was useless; his entire life was under the control of the US. If he dared to refuse, he would disappear without a trace tomorrow, and the solid-state battery technology would still fall into the hands of the US!

Perhaps noticing Masanami Madara's gaze, CEO Tesla turned his head and looked at him.

Seeing the fruit company CEO turn his head, Masao Fongda quickly suppressed the anger in his eyes and put on a respectful demeanor.

"Fengtian-kun, you're very good!" CEO Tesla patted Fengtian Masao on the shoulder, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The tone was like a master praising a servant.

Masao Fongda quickly lowered his head, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes, and replied respectfully, "Thanks to the support from the US, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to break through the solid-state battery technology."

The CEO of Tesla nodded and said arrogantly, "Of course, our American technology is the best, but your hard work is also very important. Mad Field is now our joint company, and we'll make money together."

Madonna Masao feigned a flattered expression and said, "It is my honor to be able to make money by following in your footsteps."

The CEO of the fruit company also came over and asked, "How many orders do you have for solid-state batteries now? Have those Chinese companies shipped them over yet?"

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll go to the back office to do some statistics."

Masao Fongda quickly said that he couldn't stay with these two Americans any longer and was taking this opportunity to leave.

"How many companies have placed orders so far?"

With a gloomy face and barely contained anger, Masao Fongda came backstage, grabbed his secretary, and asked her a question.

"Dozens of companies have already placed orders, totaling 15 billion yen."

The secretary, dressed in a black business suit with a curvaceous figure and delicate features, answered with a trembling expression.

"Why is there so little?"

Upon hearing his secretary's reply, Masao Fongda's expression immediately changed.

15 billion yen, at the current exchange rate, is only equivalent to a little over 100 million US dollars, which naturally made him very dissatisfied.

Then he pressed on, "Have the orders from those Chinese car companies been received yet?"

The secretary checked the tablet in her hand and said cautiously, "I haven't seen any orders from the Chinese company."

"Baka! Tell those Chinese companies that if they don't accept the terms after the press conference, they won't be getting any more solid-state batteries!"

"Yes, President."

......

At the same time as the Funky solid-state battery launch event was held.

Inside a hotel conference room in China, a press conference by Madfield Company is being shown on a projector.

The CEOs of several domestic new energy vehicle companies gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Fengtian Company has gone too far! Their demands must not be agreed to!"

"That's right, not only has the price doubled, but it also requires full payment upfront."

"There are even more outrageous demands. They actually want each car to pay a patent fee, and even want the patent fees to be used as equity!"

"They're blatantly robbing us! If we agree to their terms, we'll be handing the company over to them."

These bosses were discussing it heatedly, filled with righteous indignation, and all felt that their hearts were about to explode.

However, when they thought about the performance of solid-state batteries, they all sighed helplessly.

If they don't agree, they face bankruptcy!

"Fengtian Company called again, urging us to make a decision before the press conference ends."

The CEO of BYATI looked at the message on the phone and said with a bitter expression.

"Everyone, let's think of something, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? If we don't adopt solid-state batteries, the domestic car market will soon be completely dominated by Toyota."

"We don't know how long it will take for our solid-state battery technology to break through."

"Accept Madda's terms; at least that way we'll have some breathing room."

No matter how unwilling the CEOs were, the overwhelming technological advantage left them powerless to fight back!

Only then did they begin to regret not investing more in technological research and development; perhaps the situation would have been different!
