Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye nodded and smiled.
New energy electric vehicles will certainly be very popular. When Tesla cars were first launched, they shocked the world and caused a great sensation.
The new energy vehicles designed and produced by Tiangong Technology are in no way inferior to their competitors, and are even superior in terms of batteries.
“Your plan is fine, so get ready!” Zhao Ye said.
“Yes, Chairman Zhao,” Yang Yehua replied.

The rapid nationwide deployment of Wujiang charging stations has naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"What is this building? It seems like there are several places like this in the city..." someone asked in confusion. "Even the parking lot near our neighborhood has been converted into this kind of building!"
This new type of carport-style charging station appeared in the public eye for the first time, and no one knew what it was for.
In most people's minds, cars are for refueling; this idea is deeply ingrained. Who would imagine that it's also a place to charge cars?
Therefore, even before its official launch, the Wujiang charging station has already sparked widespread discussion.
However, the main reason is its large scale, coupled with the fact that it is associated with the Wujiang Group, which makes people very curious.
Many people are wondering if Wujiang Group is up to something again.
Of course, experts can easily deduce that it is a car charging station based on the equipment at the charging station.
Subsequently, media outlets reported that Wujiang Group was actually deploying electric vehicle charging stations on a large scale across the country.
As the news spread, both industry insiders and the general public were taken aback.
Industry insiders believe that Wujiang Group may be making a losing proposition. They do believe that new energy electric vehicles are the future direction, but the technology may not mature for another ten or twenty years. And right now, it's difficult for electric vehicles to compete with gasoline-powered vehicles.
As the saying goes, being one step ahead makes one a martyr, while being half a step ahead makes one a pioneer.
Many internal analysts at Western automakers believe that Wujiang Group is too reckless and may become a martyr.
Furthermore, professional automotive media outlets have also expressed pessimism about Wujiang Group's electric vehicles.
Online, however, Chinese netizens have high expectations.
"Holy crap, Wujiang Group is amazing! They're going to release a new energy electric vehicle! Our country is short of oil and has to buy a lot of oil from abroad every year! It's not a big deal in normal times, but if war breaks out and oil transport routes are blocked, the consequences are unimaginable! Just imagine what would happen if there were no oil? So many cars in our country and a large number of industries related to oil production and manufacturing would be paralyzed! So, if Wujiang Group releases a new energy electric vehicle, it will be very good for the country and for us car users..."
"If new energy electric vehicles become widespread in China, it will naturally reduce our dependence on oil imports to a great extent. Wujiang Group's development of new energy electric vehicles is of great significance! If the range and other performance of new energy electric vehicles are good, I am willing to buy them even if they are a little more expensive!"
"Wujiang Group has never disappointed. We eagerly await the release of their new energy electric vehicles!!!"
"Indeed, you can always trust Wujiang Group!"
"..."
Judging from online sources, Chinese people are very supportive of Wujiang Group's development of new energy electric vehicles.
Everyone is very patriotic.
As more and more charging stations are being built across the country, people are becoming increasingly interested in new energy electric vehicles.
As long as charging is convenient, it's not impossible for new energy electric vehicles to replace gasoline vehicles.

After parting ways with Tiangong Technology, Mercedes-Benz urgently needs to open up the Chinese market.
To this end, they meticulously prepared a car show to launch several new models.
At the end of 2007, the Mercedes-Benz Shanghai Auto Show began.
The main attraction of the auto show is not just the cars, but also the many beautiful car models, which naturally attracts countless visitors.
Can't you even look at pretty girls if you can't afford a car?
Many people actually came to the Mercedes-Benz auto show hoping to see beautiful women, and took out their smartphones to take pictures of the female car models.
It's fair to say that the Mercedes-Benz auto show was incredibly lively, with a massive crowd of people.
At the auto show, Fern Thomas, a representative from Mercedes-Benz, looked on with a smug expression as he watched the bustling scene.
"See? Even without cooperating with Tiangong Technology, our Mercedes-Benz cars are still very popular among Chinese people! Speaking of which, it's really easy to make money off the Chinese; they're the kind of people who are naive and have too much money. In China, our Mercedes-Benz cars can fetch very high prices, with a huge brand premium, even two or three times, or more, the price we pay in Germany!"
After Fern Thomas finished speaking, his German colleagues all burst into laughter.
Making money from Chinese people is really easy and easy.
Previously, Mercedes-Benz placed the greatest emphasis on the American market. Because Americans had high incomes and strong purchasing power, many car companies wanted to penetrate the American market. Mercedes-Benz went to great lengths to seize this market share, resulting in remarkably low car prices and relatively low profit margins.
Currently, China has become Mercedes-Benz's largest market, with approximately 40% of the company's revenue coming from China. Although the average income per capita in China is not high, the country has a large population and a significant number of wealthy individuals.
"Fern Thomas, have you been watching the news lately? Wujiang Group is preparing to set up electric vehicle charging stations, which means they're about to launch a new energy electric vehicle. After Tiangong Technology terminated its cooperation with us, they actually entered the electric vehicle market. Aren't they afraid of losing money? Well, that makes sense. Their parent company, Wujiang Group, has plenty of money. They're rich and powerful. What's a little loss? It doesn't matter to them at all!" his colleague joked.
