"Mr. Yu, long time no see, your chrysanthemum factory has been in the limelight recently!
Before I went out, I was still thinking about the day I would pay you a visit and ask you for a few "optical chips" to come back and study.
But you don’t know. When I went out to inquire, I found out that the prices on the black market are now as high as 100,000 per piece. It’s still priceless and has no market. It’s too exaggerated!”
"Mr. Liu, if you open your mouth, it's not just a phone call?
Although we are still in the stage of ramping up production capacity and have not sold it to the outside world, if it is only three or two pieces, even if I am stingy, I will still have to take it out for you!"
"Mr. Yu is so generous! It's settled then!"
"Absolutely! But Mr. Liu, your Jingdong logistics business has been booming recently. Isn't it because you are also interested in the chip industry?"
"Originally, I was really interested, but you, Tou Tou, poured cold water on me. We may not be able to make this kind of chip even if we give it ten years.
Come on in now, isn’t it because the birthday boy hangs himself because he doesn’t want to live too long?
I just want to study the application scenarios of your chip and see if our smart logistics can catch up with Mr. Yu.
If it's suitable, Mr. Yu, you have to leave some production capacity for me."
"Haha! It's easy to talk about."
As the two business tycoons were chatting, the surrounding venue gradually became quiet, and then two people were seen slowly walking out of the stage.
Mr. Bao held his head high and Hu Yifei was in high spirits.
As soon as it appeared, it immediately caused a burst of "click! click!" and the shutter flashing continuously.
Looking at the two people who were no longer what they used to be, Mr. Yu felt a little emotional.
"After saying goodbye to Su Shi, I really saw each other with admiration after three days of separation! I never expected that Mr. Bao and Mr. Hu would achieve what they have today."
The flashes of the cameras on the stage were just like the rotating lights in the KTV box that day.
This moment is just like that moment...
It's just that the actors on the stage have changed the protagonist.
When Mr. Liu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
When I first met the two of them, Mr. Bao was just a shabby guy who was on the verge of bankruptcy looking for investment.
Hu Yifei is a little-known, fledgling entrepreneur.
At that time, they regarded the party as an ordinary business event.
However, who would have thought that, looking back now, it would be a high-end game where "everyone is the boss".
Today, the companies under the names of Mr. Bao and Hu Yifei have risen like comets and are already famous at home and abroad.
And their current status has reached a point where they can be equal to them.
This life encounter is really incredible...
"Yes, I heard that Mr. Qu also made a lot of money because of the movie "Flying Life", and his investment career has reached a new level.
Thinking about it now, it seems that after that party, everyone present had their own opportunities.
I didn’t believe in Feng Shui physiognomy before, but now…”
I couldn't help but think of a young man in my mind.
"Mr. Yu, tell me, is there really someone who can read faces, or even... help people change their lives against the odds?"
"Well……"
Mr. Yu was stunned, remembering his "fire-cooked oil appearance", and his face became a little embarrassed.
Hey, hey, that's just an excuse to remind us, why did you fool a big shot like you?
"Wait! So, your peach blossom calamity of 'the east is not bright but the west is bright' is really..."
"Ahem!" Mr. Liu quickly interrupted the other party.
"Then... I don't know if Brother Meng is here today."
"What, you still want to ask someone to tell your fortune again?"
Mr. Liu ignored the other party's teasing. "Aren't you curious? Don't you want to know more about strange people?"
"I'm curious! I also want to know more about it!" Mr. Yu spread his hands helplessly.
"But people have blocked me in their circle of friends, making it clear that they don't want me to know..."
"Uh..." There was silence for two seconds.
"Me too……"
The two looked at each other, feeling helpless.
At this time, Mr. Bao on the stage also picked up the microphone...
When the lights dimmed and the stage lights came on, Mr. Bao instantly became the focus of the audience.
"Welcome all guests to attend the joint press conference between Bai Yeji and Idol New Energy. I would like to thank XXX..."
After a routine opening speech, Mr. Bao immediately got to the point.
"Maybe friends from the media have heard the news. Today we are launching an epoch-making new energy vehicle product..."
The whole place immediately became quiet for a few decibels again, and everyone listened attentively.
After a pause, Mr. Bao looked at the crowd of guests below the podium.
Those sitting in the front row were either business representatives from well-known domestic and foreign technology companies, or prominent local politicians in Sioux City.
If you're not a Fortune 500 company, you can't even squeeze into the first three rows of seats.
Standing at the center of the world stage for the first time, Mr. Bao was filled with emotions.
Who would have thought that one day he would be able to have this day...
Speaking of today's new product launch, the attention it has attracted in recent times is no less than that of the optical chip "A" that Ju Factory just announced in a low-key manner not long ago.
Not only because this is a joint press conference of two star companies, Baiyeji and Idou New Energy.
More importantly...it is said that the rumored L4-level high-end smart driving model will be unveiled at this conference!
Countries and companies with a little strategic vision dare not underestimate the significance behind L4-level high-end intelligent driving.
That not only represents a super emerging industry chain exceeding one trillion yuan.
It is an important part of future technological hegemony!
Not many people believed it at first. After all, the technological leap was too big.
Tesla, the first brother of others, can only compete with L3.5. If you look at the L2.5 people in China, do you dare to say that they have gone straight to L4?
However, as the domestic Ministry of Transportation suddenly announced the emergency launch of the "L4 self-driving standard trial version" without warning, and the abnormal fluctuations in Tesla's stock price on the periphery, ordinary people finally came to their senses...
This may not be groundless.
Combined with various gossips, there are various signs that the two companies seem to be really going to play big this time!
Many colleagues from the new energy track present here have solemn expressions.
Although they very much hope that this is just a pre-IPO hype common to domestic companies, those who have seen the video and heard the news are worried.
There are rumors that the two companies achieved leapfrog technological breakthroughs because they received talent and technical support from Juchang.
The reason is naturally because I am afraid that the tree will grow big again and attract the wind...
And Mr. Yu, who was sitting in the VIP seat in the front row today, made everyone have all kinds of speculations...
Amidst the eyes of everyone with different thoughts, Mr. Bao continued.
“As we all know, the theme of our last new car launch was ‘Talking Car’.
Through Bajie, we give the car the ability to speak, opening up the human-computer interaction link so that the car can communicate with us like a person.
However, this is far from enough.
A car is not only a means of transportation, but also a mobile intelligent interaction platform.
The so-called basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, the word "travel", occupies a quarter of our social activities. We are committed to providing a perfect set of smart travel solutions.
Let the car become people's true travel partner!
It can not only take us to see poetry and distant places, but also help us cope with the ambiguity in front of us..."
After saying that, Mr. Bao picked up his mobile phone and said to it.
"Bajie, please help me bring my car over."
【Okay, please wait!】
The next moment, the big screen behind Mr. Bao suddenly lit up.
Everyone looked intently and saw on the screen various vehicles parked in parking spaces and several thick load-bearing pillars.
"This... seems to be an underground parking lot?"
Everyone looked at the environment on the screen and saw that it indeed looked like an underground parking lot.
Then, the picture suddenly started to move, moving forward at a slight speed, turning at a constant speed... and then passing the parked cars on both sides, the picture was taken moving along the passage of the parking lot.
The speed is not slow, but the field of view is very stable.
"Is this... a picture from a driving recorder?"
Someone realized who the photographer was, it was clearly a picture from a car recorder.
Combined with what Mr. Bao just said to the phone...
"Speaking of which, this parking lot... seems to be the underground parking lot of Yida Plaza in Sioux City?"
"That's right, that's right. I also remembered this environment layout. I go here often and I won't admit it!"
"It's obviously a new car launch, why is Mr. Bao showing us the driving records in the parking lot?"
"Um...guess, is there a driver in this car..."
"..."
"Hiss~ Remote Summoning! This must be a Remote Summoning!"
"'Get out of the car and walk, and the pedestrians will arrive'! Could it be that they have really conquered the fourth generation of autonomous valet parking technology?"
Faced with everyone's shocked whispers, Mr. Bao did not answer their questions, but just smiled and waited quietly.
At this time, the vehicle had already followed the direction indicated by the exit, made several turns and arrived at the parking lot gate.
A barrier bar blocked the way for vehicles.
"Pfft! How can the intelligent driving system be broken when it encounters a paid parking lot?"
"The other party's pretense...isn't he trying to overturn the situation?"
"Coming, coming, the news is coming! Aim at Mr. Bao's emoticon!"
However, the next moment, there was no happy scene of a car rollover.
A white square suddenly appeared in the video screen, locking the payment QR code pasted at the gate, and then zoomed in.
[Dip~Your Zhifu Pay password-free payment for parking fee is 10 yuan~]
A prompt came from Mr. Bao’s cell phone at the right time.
Then the horizontal bar on the screen lifted...
"Damn it! I thought this was a driving recorder, but it actually has a code scanning function?"
"Technically, it's not that difficult. It's just lens locking, visual analysis, and automatic payment. But integrating this function into driving monitoring...
I always think it’s cool!”
"Stop talking, look! There's a car coming from the opposite direction. The entrance and exit are so narrow. Can you get out of the way?"
"Oh! The avoidance was perfect, and the speed was very stable. There was no intimidation at all for a novice to stop and avoid."
"When we came out, sure enough, this is the parking lot of Yida Plaza, and we can already see the iconic main building of the mall!"
"The route it is taking now... is Yingbin Road. It is indeed the route heading in our direction. It should have locked its position through GPS positioning."
"Remote summoning... awesome!"
"It seems so. Since it is called L4-level high-end smart driving, fourth-generation autonomous parking is certainly not a problem. The other party must be demonstrating this function.
I just don’t know if this is a recorded video or a live broadcast..."
"It's a live broadcast. The scene just passed by a clock tower, which matches the current time perfectly!"
"Uh... I looked at the map. It's ten kilometers away from us. Is it possible to attract a car here?"
“The key is that this is a bustling city center and is famous for being crowded with cars...
There are several crowded road sections between the two places, and they also pass through the entrance and exit of an attraction with a large number of tourists..."
"This Bao is really not afraid of overturning... Should I say that he is a bold artist or..."
"Looking at the reactions of pedestrians around me, many people are taking pictures with their mobile phones. I'm really curious about what this new car looks like."
"That's right, the first-person perspective is harmful, at least give me a drone aerial footage!"
Amid the discussion, the video footage continued to move forward.
Vehicles use skilled driving skills to wait for traffic lights, yield to pedestrians, slow down and avoid vehicles...
In addition to the guests at the press conference, the public channels on the Internet are also synchronizing the scene at this moment through the on-site broadcast equipment.
Netizens who watched the live broadcast couldn't take their eyes off how the other party dealt with the constant flow of traffic and people, and gradually felt that it was outrageous...
"Hey! Are you sure it's not an old driver in there? He knows everything about tidal channels?"
"I've been a driver for five years, but why do I think it drives better than me?"
"It can still drive at this speed and respond in dense traffic. If there is no one in the driver's seat, I will eat four tires live!"
"Uh... I'm a 'questioning everything' student, right? I took a screenshot."
"To actually question Bai Yeji's technical strength, I'm afraid this person has never used Bajie...
But my four tires are new, how about I lend you the spare tire I just replaced?"
"Then I'll donate one too. It's free and I'll treat you!"
"Sit back and wait for the mukbang~"
The sandbox comments on the Internet are gradually getting more and more ridiculous...
…
No matter how noisy the outside world is, ten minutes later...
As two arc-shaped headlights suddenly lit up, a car silhouette followed the passage reserved by the staff and finally slowly stopped beside Mr. Bao...
Throughout the process, the press conference was filled with exclamations one after another.
"Hey, hey! It's really here!"
"I'm short-sighted, please help me see if there is anyone in the driver's seat."
With the help of bright spotlights, everyone finally got a clear view of the car.
The streamlined and elegant body, luxurious and restrained front face design, and through-type taillights are simple and elegant, and are highly recognizable when lit.
Paired with the black metal spokes that run through the body and the sharp headlights, the entire car exudes a strong technological atmosphere.
Viewed from the side, the red and black painted body is radiant, stylish and dynamic, like a work of art.
Just from the appearance alone, this car is enough to surpass most luxury car designs and make people fall in love with it at first glance.
"Crack, click, click!" The flash lights suddenly became dense!
"Bah, bang, bang!" Thunderous applause erupted from the scene.
"Really... no one..."
Through the transparent windows, everyone finally saw that the cab... was indeed empty.
The picture frozen on the screen happened to be in the direction the front of the car was facing, that is, the people in the audience at the press conference...
One shot to the end!
From leaving the parking lot to entering the venue, it took over ten minutes of one shot!
Idou New Energy uses such a unique function demonstration to show the amazing performance of high-end self-driving cars in front of everyone without any fancy.
All doubts and speculations turned into wonder at this moment!
Everyone has different expressions.
Some were clapping with excitement, some were making phone calls with solemn faces, and some were whispering to each other with ashen faces, just like all living beings.
"Damn! I really did it! Our country of China... is actually ahead of the other side of the ocean and has developed an L4-level high-end intelligent driving?"
"Bai Yeji is awesome!"
"I want one! My husband will never have to worry about me getting lost while shopping for groceries!"
"This design is also very eye-catching... It seems that Mr. Bao has spent a lot of money!"
“My Maserati suddenly lost its flavor.”
"Damn it, Mr. Bao, you succeeded in making the car look like I can't afford it!
With such good looks, even if you don’t have a high-end intelligent driver, I’m afraid it will cost at least six to seven hundred thousand yuan, right?”
"No, no, no, the pricing of Idou New Energy has always been very friendly to the people, as evidenced by the two 'Shengdou Shi' units in my home."
It was only then that Mr. Bao smiled and pressed his hand to signal everyone to be calm, and then pointed at the new car and introduced it.
“As you can see, it is equipped with the L4-level intelligent driving ‘Tianxuan System’, which can realize autonomous parking of ‘get off the car and walk, and pedestrians will arrive’.
Moreover, it is deeply integrated with the upgraded version of ‘Bajie’, making human-computer interaction more convenient.
Whether it is short or long distance, it can drive automatically according to instructions in all scenarios without intervention, freeing your hands and taking you wherever you want to go.
The smart seats in the car are also equipped with a ‘sleep mode’ suitable for sleeping and resting.
Imagine that as long as you take a nap, you can come to your lover in a different place the next day to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
We share the bright moon at this time, and we share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart!
Technology has shortened the distance in the world and made distant lovesickness within reach!
Now, please allow me to introduce to you the new generation of smart cars released today... the 'Bado Series'!
The car in front of you is the first flagship model of the "Badou Series". We named it——
‘Acacia’!”
"Pfft! The naming of the idol's car is indeed quite funny."
"Badou... isn't it just Bajie and Idou fighting together! BMW and Badou, you guys can't figure it out!"
"Acacia, what a great name, I like it. Husband, you must buy me one!"
"..."
Compared with the various exclamations, the faces of all colleagues present here are not so good-looking.
Apart from being shocked, they also felt deep fear.
The wolf is coming!
This is not a drill!
The L4 level of intelligent driving means that the competitiveness of their similar products is thrown away by Aido New Energy by a huge margin.
Just looking at the on-site reactions, they knew that the sales of their next-generation new energy vehicles were worrying.
Even traditional fuel vehicles will probably be greatly impacted...
"Okay, okay, it looks like this car is a C-class luxury sedan. At least it doesn't directly compete with us in terms of model."
"Yes, yes. Fortunately, I was wise and chose SUV as my main market direction. In the short term, the problem is not big... not big..."
Some people are secretly glad that this new car should not have a big impact on their product line for the time being.
However……
The picture on the screen suddenly changed.
Cars with either fashionable and novel looks or domineering looks appear on the screen one after another.
