Wang Mingtang learned about the new energy project relatively late.
After all, Lu Fan invested in this project in Lingnan City, which is still far from Nanshan City.
However, news spreads much faster online.
People in the city government also saw the news, and when they saw that it was a subsidiary of Fanyue Group, the news spread even faster:
"Is that the young entrepreneur from our city?"
"Why did they build a factory in Lingnan City? Oh, and it's a new energy vehicle that's all the rage online right now. My mom saw it the other day and even wanted to buy one as a grocery shopping car, saying it's cheap."
"That's true. We still have a few plots of land in Nanshan City, so why did he go to another city?"
"Let alone the land held by our mayor, even this Mr. Lu has a lot of land in his hands. Who knows how it ended up outside?"
"Someone go ask around. Surely our Nanshan City can't keep its God of Wealth? Haha!"
When Wang Mingtang learned the news, he was still hesitant, wondering whether he should call Lu Fan to ask.
As a result, Lu Fan brought Zhang Qingyi and Professor Cheng to the door.
The core point is that we hope Nanshan City can act as a bridge to install charging stations in several nearby cities.
Otherwise, new energy electric vehicles will never be as convenient and practical as gasoline vehicles.
How can we sell and promote it now?
Wang Mingtang hadn't even figured out why Lu Fan had gone to Lingnan City yet, let alone the new energy project.
He only remembered hearing about this project from Wang Ye. Later, after Wang Ye lost a leg, the matter seemed to have been forgotten. He never expected it to end up in Lu Fan's hands.
He actually turned it into an industry.
Wang Mingtang is unfamiliar with this new energy source and therefore cannot make a decision on behalf of Nanshan City.
"After all, I have no idea whether the technology is mature or whether there are any security guarantees."
"Moreover, it's a new industry, and we don't know what the market prospects are. If Nanshan City really takes the lead, I'm afraid it will lead to some kind of mess, and in the end, the governments at all levels will have to foot the bill. That would be too much of a waste of money and resources."
This is also because he fears that new energy electric vehicles won't survive the market competition and will ultimately be a flash in the pan, making his intervention as a middleman counterproductive. That's why Wang Mingtang is being so cautious.
Lu Fan and Wang Mingtang had some acquaintance, and Lu Fan understood Wang Mingtang's thoughts. So he didn't forcefully demand that the city cooperate or threaten to relocate the group if they didn't support his business.
Instead, he patiently and meticulously explained the science to Wang Mingtang:
"Look, this is a test video we had done by the official technical department. Even under extreme pressure, the battery remains very stable."
"And in the same situation, a gasoline-powered car will definitely explode."
Lu Fan not only showed the video to Wang Mingtang, but also had professionals like Zhang Qingyi and Professor Cheng present.
It would be more appropriate for the two of them to explain the science to Wang Mingtang.
With Lu Fan leading the way, Zhang Qingyi's communication with Professor Cheng and Wang Mingtang went relatively smoothly.
Even Wang Mingtang became interested in these new energy electric vehicles: "So are these orders real data? This can't be faked."
After all, judging from the data provided by Lu Fan, the sales figures are indeed quite high.
If the price is too low, it would be a waste of manpower and resources for just a few cars, and Wang Mingtang wouldn't be able to live with himself about it.
After he joined the official institutions, he encountered this more than once or twice.
There used to be a mobile phone manufacturer that claimed their phones were incredibly powerful, capable of transmitting signals both in the air and on the ground.
.
The product was indeed of excellent quality, and the advertising was entirely truthful.
How did it all end up?
The price is too high; very few people can afford it.
Low sales volume makes it impossible to sustain high-cost operations, not to mention the satellite that drifts in outer space to strengthen the signal.
And so, it was entirely deserved that this project failed. Now, Wang Mingtang sees the same in Lu Fan's project.
I think that with such a novel project, it's very likely that he won't be able to sustain it until the city government has completed the construction of power stations in all the surrounding suburban counties.
Lu Fan then gave Wang Mingtang another explanation, including the battery life that the latter had been concerned about:
"The research and development of insulation layers is also one of Professor Cheng's research topics."
"It is now a very mature application technology, and of course, it is also a patented product of Fanyue Group."
"With the use of insulation, even in the coldest winters, in the northernmost part of the country, there won't be a situation where the battery drains too quickly and the vehicle can't start."
The topic then turned to the pricing of new energy vehicles:
"The high-end models are around 300,000 yuan, but for the low-end models, there is still room for further reduction. Professor Cheng suggested that we price them below 100,000 yuan, but we are still in the market research stage."
Listening to Lu Fan's eloquent speech, Wang Mingtang realized that the other party had come prepared.
At least Lu Fan was quite well-prepared for this project. He thought for a moment, then said hesitantly:
"In fact, these problems, when applied to gasoline-powered vehicles, also have some impact."
"By the way, when will your new energy vehicles start being delivered?"
