"You handled it well this time!" Boss Jia said with a smile. Wang Chuanfu had indeed handled it well. He had learned his lesson and was already half as good as Boss Jia when it came to dealing with the crisis of public opinion.
After the huge war of public opinion ended, Wang Chuanfu returned to China to report to Boss Jia. Speaking of which, this guy had not returned to China for more than a year. During this time, he had been in the United States.
"Thank you for your exaggeration, chairman. But, chairman, I also understood something this time!" Wang Chuanfu said cheerfully, then said with a depressed expression.
"What did you understand?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"That is, a two-wheeled car is no match for a four-wheeled car." Wang Chuanfu sighed. "I tried my best, but in the end, I only managed to get the ultra-light Tesla on the road. Other Teslas still can't be on the road, but a four-wheeled car can run freely on the main road without any restrictions!"
"A four-wheeled car is obviously more dangerous!" Wang Chuanfu's expression was full of resentment.
"Tell me your specific thoughts. Don't complain to me here. I don't buy it!" Boss Jia glanced at Wang Chuanfu and said calmly.
"Hehe, chairman, my idea is, can we also build a four-wheeled car?" Wang Chuanfu glanced at Boss Jia and said with a smile.
"Oh …" Boss Jia paused for a moment and sighed in his heart. In this world, under his undue enthusiasm, Wang Chuanfu actually came up with the idea of building a car five years in advance.
"Tell me your specific thoughts!"
"Chairman, it's like this. I think we can build a two-wheeled electric scooter, or a four-wheeled electric scooter. All we have to do is add a layer of metal on the outside of the scooter. Therefore, we can also build a four-wheeled electric scooter!" Wang Chuanfu loudly voiced his thoughts.
"Childish!" Boss Jia snorted. "Do you think it's so easy to build a car? How much technology is involved? Are those old car manufacturers joking? "
"Let me tell you, even if you're given 30 years, you still won't be able to catch up with those old companies in terms of engine and clutch technology!" Boss Jia was right. Hua Xia's car had been manufactured in China for many years, but it was still stuck in the clutch.
All of the so-called high-end domestic cars actually used foreign clutches, not to mention some of the professional engines. The Hua Xia of the other world had not been able to catch up with this gap even after 30 years.
"Yes, chairman, you are right. I know this. Let alone 30 years, even if you give me 50 years, I will definitely not be able to catch up!" Wang Chuanfu said with a smile.
"Since you already know all this, why are you still bullsh * tting here?" Boss Jia said with an annoyed expression.
"I'm the chairman. Since we can't catch up with this gap, then we won't. We still won't be able to catch up with the standards of other countries even after 50 years. They might as well stop making fuel cars. We will just make electric cars! " Wang Chuanfu said excitedly. "Chairman, I have thought about it. Electric cars and traditional fuel cars are two completely different vehicles. Fuel cars need engines, but electric cars need motors!"
"We can't catch up with the fuel engine technology, but we are good at motor technology. Our BYD motors are now the best in the world. On the contrary, almost all of the automobile companies now don't have any motor technology reserves. We are the leader in this area!"
"Give me five years, and I am confident that I will be able to develop the most advanced motor technology in the world!"
"As for the gearbox, no matter how complicated the technology of the gearbox is, no matter how high the material and processing requirements are, I'm very sorry. Our electric vehicles don't need that stuff at all. We only need a small current regulator. By adjusting the current and voltage, we can easily change the output power of the electric motor. For us, gearboxes are destined to be swept into the garbage heap of history!"
"The only thing limiting the development of electric cars now is the battery and the electronic control system. The former is our strength. I am willing to make a military pledge to develop a safe and reliable lithium battery that can allow the car to have a range of more than 300 kilometers within five years!"
"As for the electronic control system, we will have to rely on our comrades in the Daqian Group, especially Bili Bili. If they can spare some time to help us develop the central control system of the car, then it will definitely be a success!"
"Chairman, as long as our electric cars are on the market, I am confident that we can completely sweep away all the old fuel cars within 50 years. The future will definitely be electric cars!" Wang Chuanfu said confidently. In the end, Wang Chuanfu patted his chest and helped Boss Jia enjoy the future.
"You brat, where did you get such high confidence from?" Boss Jia asked impatiently.
"Chairman, didn't the scientists say that the oil on Earth is only enough for us to use for 50 years? After 50 years, the oil will be exhausted. Oil cars will be a dead end. Other than our electric cars, what else can they use? "Wang Chuanfu said with a smile.
"Idiot!" Boss Jia did not give Wang Chuanfu any face. "The experts said that the oil on Earth is only enough for 50 years. Is it really only 50 years?"
"Ah …" Wang Chuanfu was stunned. "That's what the international magazines all say!"
"That's because these magazines are all paid by the oil companies. The oil companies want to create an atmosphere of global oil supply shortage so that they can raise the price of oil on a global scale!"
"Now the international oil price is only 9.75 USD per barrel. It has dropped by one-third compared to the previous peak of 28 USD per barrel. Do you think those countries and companies that rely on oil as their lifeline will be willing to accept this price?"
"If you want to raise the price, then you have to reduce the production. But there needs to be a reason to reduce the production. That's why the oil on Earth is scarce, so we have to conserve oil. Reducing the production and raising the price is a good reason."
"Let me tell you the truth. According to our intelligence, let alone 50 years, even if it's 500 years, or even 5000 years, according to the current oil consumption rate, Earth's oil reserves will still be able to support it. There's no problem of depletion. These are all lies to fool you fools!" Boss Jia said impatiently.
"Ah …" Wang Chuanfu was stunned. He obviously did not know this.
"Also, I do admit that electric cars have a huge advantage over traditional cars in many aspects. The battery capacity and central control are also very important. But these are not the main factors that limit the popularity of electric cars!"
"The most important factor that limits the popularity of electric cars will always be one, and that is charging!"
"Electric cars are not like gasoline cars. It only takes a minute, or even a few seconds to fill up a car's fuel tank."
"The battery of an electric car needs to be charged, and the charging time is very long. Tell me, according to our current technology, how long would it take to charge the most advanced lithium battery with a range of 300 kilometers?"
"25 … 25 hours …" Wang Chuanfu's face was pale.
"Hehe! 25 hours. How many people in the world do you think would be willing to wait 25 hours at a charging station to charge their car? Even if everyone in the world is willing to wait, how many cars can a charging station hold? How big of a parking lot do they have to build, and how many charging stations do they have to install? "
"We can … charge at home … We don't need a gas station …" Wang Chuanfu's face was even paler, but he was still unwilling to give up.
"Oh, charging at home, that sounds good. But how many houses are there in a modern building? Do all the houses have parking? At the same time, can all the parking spaces be equipped with charging stations? "
"Have you considered these questions?" Boss Jia asked loudly again. Wang Chuanfu was completely defeated. He slumped onto the sofa and did not speak anymore. Boss Jia also silently sat back down and looked at Wang Chuanfu on the sofa.
He had to figure out whether Wang Chuanfu was just being whimsical, or if he really wanted to do it!
