Chapter 095 Chapter 95
Chapter 95
The Four-Wheeled Old Man's Car, a car that was hated in the golden age of the previous life, and a car that was revered as a treasure in the Doomsday Base.
In peacetime, these cars that dared to speed up to over 60 kilometers per hour at any time caused headaches for traffic police in the golden age for a long time.
No license, no management, insufficient safety measures, and the drivers are mostly elderly people - these are all the troublesome aspects of Laotoule.
But in the end times, there are more sturdy and durable four-seater new energy vehicles than old ones, and they are easy to repair - in the end times, the various parts designed for safety have caused certain troubles for maintenance.
The spare parts factory is occupied by aliens. You have to go to a factory to repair your car, and the parts may not be available in full.
But Laotoule is different. As long as the power supply and the wheel chassis are good, the other things can be operated with some tricks.
But it’s much better than the high-tech ones?
What? A gasoline car?
It has been many years since the end of the world, and the gasoline has evaporated long ago. Only the Red Star Base has snatched a new energy plant, and now there is enough equipment, otherwise the base would really have dragged the steam engine out of the museum to work.
Other places have already done this.
After all, this kind of old man's music is not a very good thing in peacetime.
[…But I feel like once this Lao Tou Le is released, there will still be a lot of housewives willing to buy it in supermarkets, right?] 777 asked doubtfully.
Gu Youxing blinked and pulled up the vehicle regulations manual of country A, and highlighted several paragraphs: [The passenger cars above are obviously not compatible with Lao Tou Le. Specialty Vehicles: such as motorcycles, trailers, RVs (motorhomes), ATVs (all-terrain vehicles), etc., require special license plates and registrations. (Quoted from the Internet)]
The reason why the Laotoule is called Laotoule is that its operation and structure are simple, but it lacks safety measures and can be driven very fast.
But it would be fine if a special management method was given. After all, it is not uncommon for motorcycles to reach speeds of over 100 per hour. Just wear protective gear, but...
This thing is made of iron and flesh, and if something goes wrong the danger would be unimaginable.
[…Host, do you think these officials are so kind and so concerned about the lives and property of the people? ]
777 showed a skeptical look. All the reasons given by the host were based on safety issues, but the artificial intelligence of Xie Pingyuan's new energy vehicle was now said to have done manual monitoring and manual risk hedging, but Xie Pingyuan has not released the test video yet.
However, when 777 checked the surveillance just now, the people under Xie Pingyuan were about to open the champagne.
[So the safety issue is just an excuse for these people, but it doesn't matter as long as the water is released normally.] Gu Youxing said.
[Xie Pingyuan's new energy vehicle must be priced very high, and it will be Gan Xing's next money-making point. At this time, if we hand them a vehicle that is obviously low-end and will lower their status, they will definitely stop us even if they are crazy.]
Gu Youxing is quite confident in this regard. As long as these people are not crazy, they will never allow such vehicles to enter the market.
after all……
No one wants to drive a Maserati with a mini version of Maserati next to him.
Recalling the old men in the base who had all kinds of luxury cars, Gu Youxing became more confident.
The researchers were also very confident. Although the reasons for Gu Youxing's confidence were different, in the eyes of the entire Nanyuan department, President Xie and the research team had already won in terms of momentum.
Zhang Hedu said with emotion: "Boss Xie is so confident, he must have researched something incredible."
However……
The moment Zhang He saw the old man happy, he was a little stunned, but after learning about the cost and performance, he immediately felt that there was profit to be made.
but……
Zhang He glanced at the research team and President Xie present. Seeing that they were equally confident, he ultimately did not speak out his own guesses.
'Would those people in the company really be willing to go down this route?'
*
"……terribly sorry."
Listening to the answers from the company's top executives, the research team was in disbelief. Xie Yuanzhi just stood there in a daze, which made Xie Pingyuan at the side feel very relieved.
In the past, this expression would only appear on his face, but now he could finally see such a foolish expression on Xie Yuanzhi's face.
However, Xie Pingyuan was a little surprised when he thought of the scene just now. He really didn't expect that Xie Yuanzhi could actually develop a new energy vehicle in just 4 months.
Moreover, the target customer group can be known at first glance from the large capacity and cost, and there is no procrastination. The target customer group and marketing plan are clearly stated. As long as the technology is obtained, this car can be sold in the market of country A within a few months.
Even though this new energy vehicle is still quite immature, Xie Pingyuan believes that if he were not given the memory of his previous life, it would be a fantasy for him to develop a new energy vehicle on his own.
But Xie Yuanzhi really did it, and Xie Pingyuan finally remembered at this time that Xie Yuanzhi was still a student of the School of Engineering at Capital University.
——And he got a full scholarship.
But unfortunately, Xie Yuanzhi was still a step too late. The direction of new energy vehicles was occupied by him. Now the entire Ganxing is paving the way for highly intelligent and high-tech new energy vehicles, which will be the next trend among young people in country A.
New energy vehicles represent new technology and new elites - there must not be other cars in the same market at this time!
So Xie Yuanzhi and his team were abandoned.
Watching the research teams walk out of the conference room with red eyes, Xie Pingyuan took two quick steps to catch up with them and was about to say something, but he saw Xie Yuanzhi patting their shoulders one by one and whispering something in their ears.
Xie Pingyuan wanted to catch up and chat with Xie Yuanzhi. Although he didn't know what to say, it must be fun to see Xie Yuanzhi's lost expression.
Just like just now in the conference room, when those senior executives looked at Xie Yuanzhi for the first time with a look of scrutiny and respect that could not be called respect, and he almost laughed out loud when Xie Yuanzhi's body stiffened.
Unfortunately, Xie Yuanzhi and his research team walked too fast, as if there were wolves chasing them.
However, Xie Pingyuan was in a good mood today, so he didn't plan to chase after them and ridicule them.
Xie Pingyuan returned to the conference room humming the message in a very good mood and shook hands with the company's top executives for the last time.
This is a glorious moment for the victor.
The pain of the losers can only be relieved by themselves.
"Wuwuwuhiccup——Boss, we are sorry. If we hadn't decided on the wrong direction in the beginning, today would never be like this."
The doctor, who came from a poor family and had student loans to repay, cried the most miserably. He was almost out of breath as he spoke.
Other PhD and Master's students also cried bitterly. It was not that they had never failed before, but they had already received funding from a good boss.
They also worked hard to repay their boss, but...
Recalling the seemingly amiable but actually cold voices of the higher-ups, the researchers cried even harder.
"Boss, please fire us. We have spent so much money and now we are just living off the money."
A doctor cried so hard that her eyeliner and eyeshadow were all smudged. She specially went to the secretarial department next door to ask them to help her put on makeup today, just to make a good impression when she was giving a lecture, but the result was...
Thinking about how the battery she was responsible for was criticized, the doctor cried even harder. She felt that she was not worthy of standing here.
Others also spoke up.
"Boss, I'm sorry..."
"Boss, wuwuwu..."
For a moment, the car was filled with loud crying, and those who didn't know would have thought that Xie Yuanzhi had died.
Xie Yuanzhi sighed helplessly, comforted the members of the research team one by one, and promised that he would never fire them.
This made the members cry even more. What kind of a boss is this? He didn't vent his anger on them when such an important thing was messed up. Instead, he comforted them and even told them that they would not be fired.
The boss must have known that the economy has been in a downturn recently and there are massive layoffs everywhere, and he doesn't need the money, so he kept them on.
Thinking about the grim employment situation outside and the recent news they saw on the short video about the impending collapse of country A's national debt, and then looking at the jobs their boss offered them, they suddenly felt quite relieved while crying.
"It's just that the work location may have changed. You know that this new energy department is actually for this matter. Now that the matter has been settled, there is no point in keeping this department."
Seeing a wry smile on Mr. Xie's handsome face, the members of the research team immediately assured that they would be happy to go and see the gate.
"It's not that I need to look at the gate, but our factory in Africa is expanding. Although our new energy vehicles cannot be sold in Country A, there may be a market in Africa. I plan to try there."
Speaking of Africa, some of these team members have begun to sober up. They are no longer young people who are obsessed with anything. They cried before because they really felt sorry for their boss, but this apology is not worth sacrificing their lives.
The boss seemed to know what they were worried about and quickly gave them some examples.
"All those cheap fabric toys and handicrafts that Duoduo operates are from African factories. It is impossible for them to know how to produce the production lines that support them from the beginning, and the engineers are still working there."
They watched as President Xie mentioned the mobile phone in front of them and the videos in the phone, and even received a greeting video with last night's news as the background in front of them.
The research team felt relieved immediately. They were not willing to go to Africa because they were worried about psychological problems. So many people were still alive, and they had not heard of any news of employees from Country A being killed internationally.
"Then we are relieved. Boss, we are willing to go to Africa and will definitely create a new market for you in Africa!"
The leader of the team, the eldest brother of these people raised his hand and pledged.
"Don't worry, boss. We will definitely investigate the local market before making a decision."
"Even if they want to weld a machine gun onto their car, we can help!"
Other members also echoed the sentiment, and one said sincerely and gratefully: "Boss, thank you so much."
"…Just don't get angry then."
After listening to their words of gratitude, Mr. Xie turned his head away as if shyly, watching the bus drive away. However, his last nonsensical words made the researchers feel quite confused.
Angry? Is it because the local environment is bad? Or is it because their boss cheated them in something?
The researchers didn’t understand.
Until they finally came to the so-called 'African' factory.
"——Welcome to Dafeng, professors. His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."
These PhDs and Masters don’t know how they were promoted to professors, they don’t even know how they got to this place.
They just followed their boss to an empty warehouse and blindfolded each other. The boss just said he would play a game with them, but after taking off the blindfold, they found themselves suddenly in a completely different world from before.
But after the boss' explanation, they were even more confused.
"The door, opposite?"
After seeing the boss nod slightly, the research team all showed incredible expressions.
Don't joke, they knew that there was always war on the other side of the door. From time to time, there were skinny hungry people begging for food there, and eventually they starved to death on the other side of the door.
They even had their vocal cords cut, so they couldn't speak and didn't have the strength to write, which made them look particularly pitiful.
But in fact, if the research team lived here for a longer time, they would find that the skin of these so-called starving people was actually in very good condition, a little too good.
Real starving people would never have skin that white without any scars or spots.
Those starving people were all the Huns who had invaded Dafeng before and were unwilling to surrender, the corrupt officials whose properties were confiscated and purged, the patriarchs of the aristocratic families who tried to resist the nationalization of land and assassinated the imperial envoy, and some death row prisoners with serious crimes.
These people waste food and do not work as fast as their own children, but they cannot be killed directly, as that would be too easy for them.
It would have been better to starve them. Except that the degree of hunger was not controlled well at the beginning and the guards did not keep a close eye on them, a few people committed suicide successfully, and the rest suffered basically no losses.
When you have accumulated a lot of money, you may even encounter children who like to torture and kill people at a young age.
In feudal society, the only way to punish a person was to redeem him with money. But under the rule of Your Majesty, who is favored by two immortals, money is not omnipotent.
So a few months later, naturally, there were a few children who were starving to death in the play performed that day.
Their painful appearance brought tears to the eyes of the police officers on duty that day, and their stories were spread all over the news and social media in country A.
The research teams are no exception.
But now...
Looking at the clean and tidy factory buildings around, there are engineers calmly greeting others, and even children and their fathers or mothers coming to the factory gate to pick up local people from get off work.
Just when they were at a loss, a man in a strange robe and a hat came over and said the above words to them.
With confused looks on their faces, they followed these people who were dressed strangely but with an ancient style, and led them to a place.
However, as soon as they entered the door, they all forgot all the thoughts in their minds.
——A child dressed in a bright yellow luxurious robe was sitting upright on a golden chair.
Seeing them come in, the child's eyes lit up and he smiled, revealing his little fangs.
"Welcome to Dafeng, my future academicians."
*
Back to the present, there are only two days left before the research team is fortunately packaged up by Gu Youxing and taken to ancient times.
Now they returned to the company team to pack their bags together, while Gu Youxing went to direct the new energy department to split and reorganize the entire department.
Personnel will be assigned to whichever side is short of staff. As for assistants and the like, they will all be sent to Africa along with the researchers.
If they don't want to, they can stay in the company and see if there are other vacant positions that suit them. If that doesn't work, they can get severance pay.
Gu Youxing has never been stingy with money when it comes to winning people's hearts. The gold, silver and jewelry in his space are now almost piled up into a mountain, a real mountain.
Moreover, he has hundreds of millions of points, which can be exchanged for a little bit - Gu Youxing's money is enough for him to spend even if he invests in aviation technology every day.
What? Lao Tou Le?
Let’s put it aside for now, as the critical period is only a few days away.
It was the way the employees in the company looked at Xie Yuanzhi that made Gu Youxing unbearable.
Now the employees in the company look at their CEO Xie as if he were a poor little thing, and their eyes are filled with tears when they see CEO Xie handing out severance pay.
The more emotional employees were already wiping away tears.
How aggrieved must their President Xie be feeling right now, that he is even thinking about giving severance pay to employees. Although this is what he should do, the boss is in a bad mood and the workers may just have to endure it if it is delayed for a day or two.
The entire Nanyuan, including the customer service staff at Taoduoduo, began to feel sorry for their boss.
In the capital, there were also people who felt sorry for Xie Yuanzhi, but this time, those who felt sorry for him were planning to give him some real money.
"How wronged must Yuan Zhi be? I dare not even think about whether that child is crying in the office right now."
Yu Caiwei was typing on the computer and chatting with her financial advisor while talking to Xie Qiping beside her.
"He was like this when he was little. He never told me anything. I would just cry secretly in my room. If I hadn't installed a surveillance camera in his room, I wouldn't have known he was crying. Fortunately, he stopped being like this after his life got better."
Xie Qiping secretly complained in his heart, didn’t Yuanzhi realize that you installed surveillance cameras in his room, so he didn’t dare to cry in front of you?
Should he be thankful that his wife didn't install surveillance cameras in Yuanzhi's bathroom?
"Okay, don't just think about it. Yuan Zhipingyuan will be back soon. The group has been experiencing more and more fluctuations recently. We have to give them some sweet treats. I think a banquet to announce the successor would be a good idea."
Xie Qiping said, but Yu Caiwei wanted to object.
"You should at least wait for Yuanzhi to calm down. This child has never suffered any setbacks since he was a child. You should at least wait until the New Year. It will only take five or six months."
Yu Caiwei said with a frown, looking unhappy.
How come this father doesn't consider his child's feelings at all?
When he came back, he was faced with such a conversation. No one paid attention to him. Xie Pingyuan: ...
Very good, all my good mood is gone, and I even feel angrier than Xie Yuanzhi.
"Ping Yuan is back? We already know the news. Your father will change his will later. After a while, you will be able to get the shares that belong to Gan Xing's heir."
Yu Caiwei looked at Xie Pingyuan with a little surprise, but not so much surprise.
Xie Pingyuan was already used to Yu Caiwei's favoritism, but today, Xie Pingyuan couldn't help it.
It’s not that he wanted to compete for Yu Caiwei’s maternal love or anything, but he had already seen Yu Caiwei communicating with her financial advisor on the computer about whether her current liquid funds could be invested in Nanyuan.
Xie Pingyuan was standing in front of the sofa and was so angry that he almost laughed.
He finally understood why Yu Caiwei had been so well behaved for the past four months.
It turns out that Yu Caiwei decided from the beginning that if Xie Yuanzhi lost, she would invest in Nanyuan and give the subsidy he received to Xie Yuanzhi.
As for his thoughts...
ha.
Perhaps in Yu Caiwei's view, he has already achieved his goal. What else could he be dissatisfied with?
Her precious Yuanzhi had been squeezed out by him! What if she borrowed some money to make it up to Xie Yuanzhi?
Xie Pingyuan thought with malice.
But does Yu Caiwei know how good his baby Yuanzhi is to the Jiang family?
"Ping Yuan? Ping Yuan!" Yu Caiwei was a little confused when she saw Xie Ping Yuan coming back to his senses after she called him.
"Why are you suddenly in a daze? Is there something on your mind?"
Xie Pingyuan originally wanted to shake his head and say no, but when he saw the confused look on Yu Caiwei's well-maintained face, Xie Pingyuan slowly nodded.
"Mom, I actually have something I haven't told you."
Under the puzzled gazes of Yu Caiwei and Xie Qiping, Xie Pingyuan opened his mouth, and it seemed as if hell was hidden in his empty mouth.
"Yuan Zhi has actually been supporting the Jiang family."
*
"…an invitation?"
Seeing the young man opposite him raise his eyebrows, the red mole on the corner of his eye moved with his eyebrows. Xie Pingyuan put away his arrogance and said respectfully.
"Yes, because it happened to be the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the group, and my father wanted to celebrate it in a big way, and by the way..."
The unruly man now became as obedient as a little lamb and showed a shy smile.
"By the way, I would like to announce that I am the heir to Gan Xing."
The young man opposite nodded in understanding, raised the corner of his mouth and revealed an official smile.
"This is a happy event. Director Yang will also be willing to share in the good fortune."
"What would I be willing to do?"
Director Yang had just finished dealing with the news of the merger of the Special Species Management Department and their Environmental Monitoring Bureau. He was about to come back to inform his secretary to get ready for their next busy work, when he heard the news that his most promising subordinate said he would agree.
"Director Yang." The young man stood up and took the invitation letter from the table. Xie Pingyuan also stood up and looked at the middle-aged woman with blond hair and blue eyes. She took the invitation letter from the young man and flipped through it.
"The Xie family will announce the next heir at the anniversary celebration. This is Xie Pingyuan, who is here to deliver the wedding invitations."
The young man finished speaking respectfully and logically. Director Yang also raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Xie Pingyuan, who smiled respectfully at the right moment.
"Xie family...the one who took the new energy project from you, then go ahead."
After hearing what Director Yang said, Xie Pingyuan's eyes were filled with joy and he kept flattering Director Yang.
But he was so happy that he didn't notice that the young man was looking at him with such a meaningful look behind Director Yang's back.
The show is about to begin.
