Seeing her daughter return to her room, Su's mother whispered to Su's father, "I was against it at first. But later, when I found out he was very capable, I stopped caring. Our daughter is with him and will enjoy a good life."
"I'm just afraid..."
“What are you trying to do with all this fear? Don’t worry about the children. Instead, think about the path Xiao Xing suggested. If it doesn’t suit you, you could become a teacher,” Su’s mother said.
"I'll think about it some more."
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xing Baohua went out to pay New Year's greetings to elders and leaders from all sides.
His father was at home receiving the kowtows. (An old tradition in some northern regions where it's customary to kowtow to elders during the New Year. "Receiving the kowtows" refers to elders accepting these kowtows from younger generations. In some places, red envelopes are given, while in others, no.)
In the third year of junior high school, Su Ya bought some things for Xing's parents and asked Xing Baohua to deliver them.
My mom was dressed in fashionable clothes; wow, she looked very stylish and chic.
Xing's father was wearing a Zhongshan suit made of imported wool. It looked very high-end.
This guy was busy until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Apart from a few relatives he was visiting, the rest of the people he was busy with were local business associates.
For example, when the bosses of first- or second-level construction engineers come to pay their New Year's visit, they might go out for a drink and chat about this year's projects.
There are also some material factories, etc.
On the day the electronics factory started operations, the logistics department bought a lot of firecrackers, which were set off for more than half an hour.
When Xing Baohua first arrived at the factory, every worker he met happily wished him a Happy New Year.
Just as I entered the office, Su Ya called to say she was accompanying her father to visit the factory.
Well, I have to run out to greet them again.
You know, they just opened, and you're already here to visit? Couldn't you have waited a few days until things settled down before coming?
After all, production has been suspended for more than ten days, and there's a lot of work to be arranged.
Even though he thought to himself that his father-in-law was coming, he still had to maintain a warm demeanor on his face.
Xing Baohua accompanied the father and daughter as they toured the various workshops. It seemed that the year-end benefits had played a significant role, as the workers were very enthusiastic and supportive of Xing Baohua.
We didn't finish exploring in the morning. We had a quick lunch in the cafeteria and continued in the afternoon. When we arrived at the Jinan Electric Machinery Research and Development Center, my father-in-law saw many small motors.
He asked, "Is this the electromechanical research and development lab you mentioned?"
"Yes and no. This is a motor specifically developed for tape recorders. The one I'm talking about is the larger one, which will be used in electric vehicles in the future," Xing Baohua said.
All the technicians in the research and development lab stood up and greeted Xing Baohua with New Year's greetings.
When they heard that Xing Baohua wanted to get electric vehicle motors, they were completely bewildered. Why was Xing Baohua going to get big motors?
Xing Baohua said to everyone, "This is Comrade Lao Su, who is currently a dynamics expert. Well, if Lao Su came to our factory, I don't have any engines for him to study, so I can only work on the motors."
Old Gong, the former director of the Jinan Tape Recorder Factory, said, "We've just finished working on the small motors, and you want to go for the large ones? Two-phase or three-phase? You can't make that thing go far with batteries. The power consumption is too high."
“We’ve set up a lithium battery research lab with the battery factory, right? We can tackle the battery problem, we can tackle the power manager problem, and as long as the motor reaches the relevant power, we can also study torque and other things.” Xing Baohua not only told the motor technicians, but also his father-in-law.
"What kind of car are you trying to get?" Old Gong asked.
"Here's what I'm thinking: for short-distance transport within the factory, using gasoline-powered trucks would generate noise and waste fuel. Let's first research electric trucks that can haul goods. We can use this to accumulate technical expertise. This includes not only testing and researching batteries, but also accumulating technical expertise in motors. We can conduct further research when the conditions are more suitable."
For example, electric bicycles, electric scooters for the elderly, or electric taxis are all for short distances, around 50 or 60 kilometers. Once the technology matures further, we need to consider vehicles that can travel 200 or 300 kilometers, or even longer.
The father-in-law suddenly said, "The power went out halfway through the journey. What are we going to do? Are we going to have to carry a generator with us?"
Xing Baohua clapped his hands and said, "Yes, we can also consider developing a hybrid electric vehicle in the middle."
The father-in-law opened his mouth, finding it hard to imagine that the car had a generator on its back, humming as it charged while driving.
Another issue is charging. If it's done this way, it's manageable, but what if you live on the fifth or sixth floor without a storage room? Are you supposed to run a cable down from upstairs to charge your car?
Xing Baohua was unaware that his father-in-law had helped him solve many difficult problems.
Actually, there's no need to worry about this; the person who bought it already knows how to charge it.
Cars are simple to talk about, but they're incredibly expensive to own!
It's like that melon seller who sells TVs.
A really capable person buys the copyright in advance, makes mobile phones, and creates some kind of ecosystem.
They went public to raise funds, using investors' money, claiming they were going to build cars.
Then the TV broke down, and the cell phone went out of business.
He's drowning in debt, billions of dollars, and he won't come back to pay it back. They've given him a huge promise from the US, which is much more reliable than Xing Baohua's satellite hardware project.
To build electric cars, and the kind that are ahead of their time.
Whether they were indebted or not, everyone was drawn to him. Even though he's considered a defaulter in China, so many people still trusted him.
This is truly amazing; they're incredibly good at hyping things up. In the blink of an eye, they've made a fortune and started promoting their ideas and concepts.
It even went public.
Damn it, the wheel is still there!
That guy from Southern Metropolis Daily who built the skyscraper, you'd think he'd be so rich and smart, right? He got hyped up by car manufacturers, or maybe he was just intoxicated by their hype, but he used the money he earned from building the skyscraper to invest in car manufacturing, another several billion yuan.
As a result, there wasn't much money left to build more buildings later on.
Some people say that car manufacturers are not only good at making cars, but they are also incredibly adept at playing the capital game! Why don't they come back to the United States? They're just trying to swindle money from other countries, go public to fleece them, and then come back to pay off their debts.
