Chapter 099: Conspiracy

From the doubts of ordinary users, to the doubts on the Internet, to the voices of professional institutions. After this series of coherent actions, even if the quality of the products of the Wells Fargo Group is passed, it is difficult for them to stop the voice of public opinion in the society before they come up with evidence that stands on the table.

Apple from abroad called to inquire, it should have been a small matter in China, because of the voice of the giant, the news has spread overseas, Apple, which has assembled millions of new machines, has to worry about this batch of batteries, in case of frequent accidents, cooperation is in vain.

Meng Qian himself also received a call from Liu Jianye, who brought news from Tesla: "You give me a thorough understanding of this matter, this is an important part of power battery cooperation, if there is a problem, make up for it while the matter is still small, and you must not force it until the accident occurs, and then review it." ”

"I assure you, the safety is absolutely passable. But the key is that the technology is under the lithium battery system, no matter how it changes, it will heat up, fire characteristics can not be eliminated - the outside world grasps this point, to generalize, the responsibility of the lithium battery system to the company! ”

Meng Qian had a headache to explain that the lithium system was there, and although he could ensure that it was safer and more stable than the original model, the truth was like ...... No matter how much a person strengthens himself, he can never change the fact that he is a person, not a tiger.

As a good partner, Liu Jianye did not blame each other in difficult moments: "I will help you communicate with Tesla, and the media can also do it, you have to put aside the relationship before the matter becomes a big one, and it is best to prove that it is safer than traditional." ”

"I know that the company is stepping up testing, and I have asked Warwick to do it again, but I am worried that they may not admit it for the sake of face, so I need official strength."

"You want the authorities to investigate?" Liu Jianye understood.

"Yes."

Liu Jianye made it clear: "The effect of the official attitude will be stronger, but on the other hand, if there is really a flaw, the crisis will be greater." ”

Meng Qian decisively took his teammates under the knife: "Check Warwick's mobile phone first, I'm not afraid of offending them." After the battery on my side is tested, I will send it back. ”

"I'll get in touch with you." Liu Jianye said.

Hung up the phone, Meng Qian also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there were friends with connections and a wide background to help, as far as this incident was concerned, Warwick played a very small role, and they even concealed the problems that may have been caused by mobile phones, and their attitude was not enough to cooperate.

After dealing with the matter in front of him, Meng Qian thought about countermeasures.

The cause will not be smooth sailing, especially in the industry that smashes people's jobs and wants to engage in monopoly. Before the Wells Fargo Group becomes a real giant, any slightest suspicion or accident needs to be treated with great caution. But it doesn't make him afraid, it only makes him more determined.

Wang Manwen's voice came: "Mr. Zong brings the latest news. ”

Zong Yan looked happy and handed him the document in his hand: "The battery inspection results are out." The first accident of the mobile phone, the cause of the local power grid problems, according to the residents of the area, there was a power outage and sudden calls, and the charger was also burned afterwards. ”

"The second case is Oolong, the user's battery is not produced by us, he has replaced it, and in the case of uncertainty, it is charged with our special fast charge. The cause of the accident has nothing to do with our battery, just because he used fast charging to charge ordinary batteries without authorization, and he is responsible. ”

Meng Qian glanced at the first accident a few times: "In this way, this accident can only happen by accident and coincidence?" ”

"Yes." Zong Yan nodded, "The technical department told me that this situation is very rare, and we can only remind users that when there is a thunderstorm and power outage, try not to charge and not to call." ”

"It's finally settled." Meng Qian is relieved, the main problem is not on the product, at most it is to strengthen the protection of the charger and protection board in the future.

Zong Yan said: "Next, you can send it to the government agency for testing, and then clarify it after you get the evidence." ”

"You're in charge of it." Meng Qian said that he considered the next thing: "I was thinking, Toyota has no grievances with us, what is the benefit of targeting us like this?" ”

This is also a question that many people in the company have.

Toyota's attitude is really intriguing, and the Wells Fargo Group is not at odds with them, at most it may be a confrontation in the field of power batteries - Toyota has developed hydrogen fuel cells, and has already promoted them in Japan and California, USA, strictly speaking, they are competitors.

Competitor?

To put it this way, both Japan and South Korea can hate the rich fargo to death! They are lithium battery manufacturing countries, especially Japan, Panasonic, Sony and other companies have lithium battery business, rich countries after the introduction of new technology, will seriously damage their interests, the two sides on the bar is sooner or later.

But it is not enough for Toyota to stand on the opposite side of the Wells Fargo Group, Toyota's primary purpose is to promote the development of the field of electric vehicles, and only with the market can we talk about competition. More importantly, Toyota is the 10th largest shareholder of Tesla, which is in charge of the operation of the battery factory.

Neither Wells Fargo nor Tesla has any intention of monopolizing power batteries, and it is aimed at all groups - Toyota, as a major shareholder, can also use new batteries.

Unless Toyota is not happy with Tesla...... Elon Musk has previously described Toyota's fuel cells as "garbage".

Zong Yan listened to the analysis and was not sure: "It didn't reach the point of falling into the well for us, right?" ”

"It seems to be." Meng Qian pondered, "Toyota is going to tear X, and it should be ...... with Tesla"

"Maybe they have a more secure new technology?"

Meng Qian and Zong Yan turned their heads at the same time, and Wang Manwen, who was staring at them with their eyes, boldly expressed: "I mean, a new breakthrough in fuel cells. ”

"Fuel cells? Toyota's technology doesn't work. Meng Qian is on Musk's side.

"It's useless." Zong Yan and he made a tune.

"What about you?" Wang Manwen couldn't figure it out.

"New technology!" Meng Qian reminded her, "You have thought of it, but it is not bold enough, Toyota may have new, more mature technology." ”

"That's right." Zong Yan nodded.

Wang Manwen also instantly understood that only by finding a stable technology, as an automobile giant, Toyota, a big business, would decide to go its own way, and would not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of the rich fargo group, first objectively belittle the opponent, drag down its growth speed, and then develop itself.

This reason is very sufficient.

While Wang Manwen was trying to figure it out, Zong Yan was already sitting in front of the computer.

"Is there any news of new technology?" Meng Qian asked, the opponent's move is definitely not one or two, and new moves will continue to be produced in the future.

Zong Yan looked at the screen: "Toyota, a subsidiary, specializes in power batteries, and because of the relationship between the consortium, it has close ties with Japanese lithium battery companies. ”

"And then?"

"Recently, they have announced plans for new battery technology, received hundreds of millions of investments, and cooperated with a number of lithium battery companies in Japan, and the project is progressing rapidly."

"Where there is a plan, there will be a patent." Meng Qian flipped out his mobile phone and looked for the number.

After the phone was connected, Meng Qian said: "There is a help, do you have a way to check the application under review by the patent office?" If Toyota submitted it within the last year? ”

Liu Jianye readily agreed: "You can check, but you pay attention to confidentiality." ”

"The quality trouble has been solved, and we are currently analyzing the opponent's conspiracy." Meng Qian said a few more words to Liu Jianye, which also gave him confidence.

Liu Jianye was satisfied: "Very good. ”

Two days later, internal documents arrived.

Toyota's battery research company submitted a number of patents on new battery technology to the China Intellectual Property Office through the PCT route three months ago! The point is not here, but some of these technologies, which are similar to those applied by the rich country some time ago.

Wang Manwen couldn't understand the content of the patent: "What did you find?" ”

Meng Qian put down his things and pondered, then raised his head: "A while ago, I invested heavily in technology research and development, and some people in the company still thought I was making a big fuss. ”

Zong Yan was thoughtful.

Meng Qian once thought about who the future technology he "borrowed" belonged to?

But in this time and space, technology is its own! So he said, "Now prove me right, the company is ready to fight a patent lawsuit with Toyota!" ”

Wang Manwen understood: "Globally? ”

"Global." Meng Qian nodded.
