Chapter 256: The Birth of a Sunspot (5,500 Words)
A car drove quietly on the streets of Shanghai in the early hours of the morning.
This meal was eaten until after midnight, which was also unexpected by Luo Jia, probably because everyone was so excited.
New technology means new markets and business opportunities, everyone drank a lot of wine and talked a lot, until the waiter in the club was lying in the corner, rubbing his eyes with difficulty, Luo Jia proposed to disperse, if there is anything, continue to talk in the company tomorrow.
Luo Jia leaned his head on the window and counted the vehicles on the road, six out of every ten were electrically driven, and it seemed that traditional fuel vehicles were disappearing at an alarming speed in the land of China.
I think Chief Engineer Ning called Luo Jia not long ago and told him that at the beginning of next year, the national electricity price will be greatly reduced.
Luo Jia began to believe that she had really changed the world.
Unlike consumer goods such as mobile phones, this time it is energy, the foundation of all industries and technologies in the world, and cheap and sufficient energy will become the key weapon for China's manufacturing industry to compete for global hegemony.
An Ran, who was looking down at his mobile phone, laughed, "The latest news, Airbus in Europe intends to discontinue the production of A380 models, because Qatar Airways has canceled orders for seventy aircraft, and other Middle Eastern customers have also withdrawn from the market on a large scale." β
"It's a pity that the A380, as the world's largest passenger aircraft, was made by the Europeans with a lot of money and many, many years, and as a result, only a few hundred were produced, and they were swept into the garbage heap of history, which is really a huge waste."
The other people in the car laughed happily when they heard An Ran say this.
In the final analysis, Airbus's discontinuation of the A380 is actually the reason for Xingchen Technology.
As the initiator of the wave of new energy and electric vehicles, Xingchen Technology has set off an energy revolution in the world, which first got rid of the group of big dogs in the Middle East, and Europe, which has a close relationship with big dogs, has naturally been seriously impacted.
Since the birth of the A380 model, it is mainly sold to Middle Eastern airlines, and now there is no surplus food at home, and they can't sell oil, and they are about to go back to the desert to herd camels, who still has the heart to buy an airplane to play.
What's even more terrifying is that the electric cars made in China are trying to destroy the foundation of Europe, unlike North America, Neon, and South Korea, Europe has almost no participation in the Internet revolution, and there is also a lack of semiconductor industry.
The foundation of Europe is mechanical, electrical, energy, pharmaceutical, and financial, and in addition to not engaging in finance and pharmaceutical, Xingchen Technology has all come up with killer features in the other three fields, which has too much impact on Europe.
Luo Jia hugged his drunken head with both hands, and said lightly, "Europe has good scenery, developed history and culture, and in the future, it can develop tourism, run small restaurants, engage in music and painting, and as for the rest, they don't have to think about it." β
......
Paris, France.
The clarion call for Huaxia Electric Vehicle Group to enter Europe has been sounded, and a war in the automobile industry is imminent.
Zhao Dengzhou, who has lived in France for many years, decided to apply for a job at East Asia Automotive Group, so he took the subway to the 13th arrondissement in the early morning, which is the largest Chinese district in Paris and the French Center of the East Asia Group, which is also located there.
The subway and bus fares are two euros, which is equivalent to 17 Chinese yuan.
The bus and subway in Paris are not air-conditioned, and every summer, the crowded and hot subway always makes Zhao Dengzhou wonder what he had to do to decide to leave his hometown and live here.
The feeling of loss, with the rapid rise of China in recent years, is becoming more and more irrepressible.
Once upon a time, Zhao Dengzhou, who had a monthly salary of more than 3,000 euros, every time he went home, relatives and friends came to watch, envying this powerful man who stayed in France.
However, in recent years, Zhao Dengzhou has rarely gone home, not because he doesn't want to miss his elderly parents, but because he really can't stand the huge gap.
"Hey, come on, in order to send you abroad, your parents sold the house in the second ring and moved to the sixth ring road to live, and now the house is worth more than 10 million yuan, and I am afraid that I will never be able to afford it in this life."
The aunt once said to Zhao Dengzhou with an embarrassed face that the sad Zhao Dengzhou was heartbroken and almost cried.
Zhao Dengzhou loves France more and more now, because there is no way, admitting that France is not good is tantamount to admitting that he is a fool, and choosing to immigrate to France back then was a fucked up and stupid decision.
Therefore, every time Zhao Dengzhou goes home, he always spares no effort to brag about how comfortable life is in France, which is a million times stronger than that of China, even if he gives me 100 million, I will not leave France, and fresh air cannot be measured by money.
said too much, Zhao Dengzhou even believed himself, but unfortunately, his relatives were more and more unwilling to believe it.
With the economy growing and incomes rising, France is no longer far away, and many relatives have been to France on vacation and they know what the real Paris is like.
What's more, Zhao Dengzhou's uncle, under the Eiffel Tower, was pulled by a group of gypsies and persuaded him to sign for charity, and the uncle readily agreed, and as soon as he picked up the pen, the group of gypsies rushed up and snatched his wallet and mobile phone.
For this reason, the uncle scolded and swore that he would never go to that ghost place again in his life, the capital of a country, and the security was so unbearable.
Uncle's disgust with Paris made Zhao Dengzhou extremely angry, and he quarreled with his uncle.
For him, defending France is to maintain his own dignity, but the uncle only gave one example, which made Zhao Dengzhou's face pale.
On May 10, 2010, the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Congress was robbed by an armed robbery in Paris, which was a diplomatic visit, and a motorcycle of the French police drove along the road...
"Where even ministerial-level high-ranking officials will be robbed, can the people still live well? I believe you're a ghost! Uncle said angrily.
Sitting in the subway car, Zhao Dengzhou used his mobile phone to calculate his bills.
It wasn't until October 12, 2018 that the Paris metro finally had a mobile phone signal, and before that, countless people were known to publicize how the people of Paris love to read, but the real reason is that there is no signal in the subway, so what can you do if you don't read books and newspapers?
In short, Zhao Dengzhou used the time to take the subway and finally settled his bill.
Last month, Zhao Dengzhou's income was 3,250 euros, leaving 2,400 euros after deducting social security, 623 euros for rent and insurance, 300 euros for personal tax, 80 euros for electricity, gas and water, 210 euros for transportation and phone bills, and 210 euros for the Internet, and after deducting these, the remaining 1,187 euros.
With this money, Zhao Dengzhou still has to eat, socialize, buy clothes, and buy some small gifts for his girlfriend, and his life is really tight.
Fortunately, Zhao Dengzhou's French girlfriend shared the rent with him, which reduced a large part of his burden, otherwise with Zhao Dengzhou's income, life would be more embarrassing.
Of course, Zhao Dengzhou has not been less in front of relatives and friends, boasting about the superiority of French women, eating and rent AA system, unlike domestic girls, who obviously have no quality at all, but dream of marrying into a wealthy family.
But behind all this, Zhao Dengzhou's French girlfriend often doesn't go home at night, saying that her erosive private life is French romanticism, her skin is rough like sandpaper, and as long as she doesn't take a bath for half a day, her whole body is full of fox smell, which can only be covered up with a lot of perfume.
Zhao Dengzhou had no choice, he had to finish the cannon with tears in his eyes, he lied himself, and he had to stick to it even if he gritted his teeth.
Turning off the calculator, Zhao Dengzhou pondered how high the salary of the East Asian Group would be for him, the median income in France is 1,800 euros per month, and his salary is already quite high locally.
However, an elite class like himself, who can speak Chinese and French, should be highly valued by the East Asian bloc, and Zhao Dengzhou feels that he should be able to get at least 5,000 euros a month.
Soon after, Zhao Dengzhou walked out of the dimly lit subway station and saw a stunning, fully transparent pyramid-shaped building, which was the brand image store of East Asia Group in Paris, which looked like a transparent crystal from a distance, shimmering seductively in the sun.
Crowds surround the magical building, with customers lining up outside to enter the exhibition hall to see the super electric car made by Huaxia.
Judging from the clothes and backpacks of these customers, it is not difficult to see that many of them are from the provinces around Reims, Troyes, Le Mans, and even Dijon, hundreds of kilometers away, just to see for themselves those amazing electric cars.
In the name of applying, Zhao Dengzhou entered the store from the staff channel, and in an instant, he was shocked by the extraordinary holographic projection technology, through the special refraction of optics, the promotional film of the electric car is like a waterfall of light, flowing in a huge space of tens of thousands of square meters.
Electric cars soar through the clouds, through endless deserts, and in the bright galaxy.
The picture is so realistic and vivid, when Zhao Dengzhou couldn't help but reach out to touch it, the light shattered instantly, and he realized that what he saw in front of him was not reality, but simulated by primary holographic projection technology.
Zhao Dengzhou understands the mood of the French people queuing outside, who not only want to see the best electric cars in the world, but also want to experience the magic of the future world.
A young sales consultant in his twenties said to Zhao Dengzhou very proudly, "This is the design of the geniuses of Xingchen University, entering the store, it is like entering the future time and space, we are not selling electric cars, but tickets to the future." β
Walking into the office area, Zhao Dengzhou saw hundreds of candidates queuing, they were sitting on both sides of the corridor, there were very few people in the left row, only about 20 people, all of them were Chinese faces, and there were hundreds of people in the right row, all of them were European faces.
"We Chinese people have priority to apply, those French foreigners are waiting on the right, it's useless for them to complain, who makes East Asia Group our Chinese enterprise." The sales consultant said to Zhao Dengzhou.
He affectionately brought a Chinese form, only to find that Zhao Dengzhou's face was as purple as a pig's liver.
"Actually... I am... French nationality..."Zhao Dengzhou muttered quietly.
Belch...
The hand that wanted to hand him the form retracted again, and the young man handed over another French form and an ink pen, which made Zhao Dengzhou feel like he had swallowed a toad, and his chest was jammed.
So a few minutes later, Zhao Dengzhou sat in the middle of a group of Frenchmen with big noses.
"How did it turn out?"
A girl who seemed to be a recent graduate of the international student walked out of the office of the human resources department, and the Chinese boy who was waiting with her asked her about her application.
The girl smiled, "I didn't pass, but HR was very kind to introduce another Huaxia company to me, Xiaoxiong Group, which does household appliances, is also recruiting in Paris, he introduced me to try my luck there, it's really not good, and there is a company that makes electric toothbrushes, anyway, more and more Chinese companies have come to France recently, and jobs are always easy to find." β
The boy brushed his hair, "I'm not as patient as you, if the East Asia Group can't get through, I'm going to go back to China." β
The girl said calmly: "Actually, I also plan to return to China, but I have just graduated, and I still need to practice French, so I plan to work in France for two years to stabilize the language foundation. β
"It makes sense, let's leave a WeChat, maybe we will meet again in China in the future." The boy said generously.
"Yes."
The girl said and took out her mobile phone, the NEX series of VIVO company is very expensive in France, it costs 1,299 euros, it seems that the girl's family is good.
The two of them left each other's WeChat, and when they asked, they didn't live far from each other, they agreed to drink coffee together on the weekend, and it seemed that a love drama that had met and known each other by chance was being staged.
Zhao Dengzhou looked at all this expressionlessly, he envied the girl's delicate skin, so white, so soft, it should have a texture similar to silk to the touch, right?
The boys and girls on the other side said that going home was as easy as going to dinner and watching a movie, but for Zhao Dengzhou, going home meant going to the Huaxia Embassy to apply for a visa.
Zhao Dengzhou didn't know how he had endured this waiting time, and when he was called by his name, he regained his spirits, tidied up his tie, and stepped into the office with the pride of a successful person.
Then, he froze, feeling like a basin of cold water, pouring over his head in the temperature of minus fifty degrees, completely freezing his heartbeat.
The human resources director turned out to be Zhao Dengzhou's classmate Tao Qian, a simple Shandong man.
When they studied together at the University of Paris V, Tao Qian said that in his hometown of Qufu, there is a large-scale ancestor worship activity during the Spring Festival every year, and the younger generation has to go to the elders' homes to pay New Year's greetings, and there are many old rules.
Zhao Dengzhou ridiculed Tao Qian's ancient food, what era is it, today's world is dominated by Western civilization, and the past etiquette should be thrown into the garbage can and re-learn more advanced Western civilization, for this reason, Tao Qian's face turned red and quarreled with him.
When Zhao Dengzhou decided to join the French nationality, Tao Qian once persuaded him to take a green card and forget it, return to his roots, no matter how long he mixes in France, he will eventually go home.
The children of corrupt officials are naturalized because they dare not return to China, and we are all ordinary people, so we can't change our nationality.
And Zhao Dengzhou's response was to pull Tao Qian into the blacklist, ashamed to be in the company of such a stubborn and conservative person.
After a while, the old classmates met again, Zhao Dengzhou is already French, Tao Qian is still the Shandong man, Zhao Dengzhou is the applicant, and Tao Qian is the deputy director of human resources.
"Lao Zhao!"
Tao Qian got up from the chair in surprise, took Zhao Dengzhou's hand affectionately, and asked about the recent situation in the past few years.
"To tell you the truth, we are holding back our strength now, next month, our new model using permanent magnet vector motor will be fully launched in the whole of Europe!"
"We're going to be in France, against CitroΓ«n and Renault! Will be in Germany, against Volkswagen and Mercedes! Fight Fiat in Italy! War in Spain and Seat! Attack the base camp of Ε koda in the Czech Republic! All in all, this time it's going to be hit close to their heads! β
"The electric cars we build now are no longer what they used to be! Both the quality and the technological content are far beyond those foreigners! β
Tao Qian could not suppress the excitement in his heart, and introduced to Zhao Dengzhou the European strategy of the East Asia Group, the group's supercar brand Lotus, after changing to all-electric, will impact the dominance of Porsche and Ferrari in the field of sports cars.
All in all, the seemingly calm Europe has long been in turmoil, a decisive battle for the automotive industry is about to begin, and the East Asian Bloc is in a tense battle.
For this reason, the whole of China is excited, looking forward to the East Asia Group can fight its way out of the encirclement and suppression of major European auto giants.
Tao Qian didn't notice that Zhao Dengzhou's face became more and more ugly.
The word "we" means that we are Chinese, but after years of hard work, Zhao Dengzhou finally changed from a Chinese to a Frenchman, in our context, there is no place for Zhao Dengzhou, no matter how brilliant the achievements of China will be in the future, it has nothing to do with Zhao Dengzhou.
In any case, Zhao Dengzhou still endured it, until Tao Qian apologized and told him that he could join the East Asia Group, but he could not enjoy the treatment of Huaxia employees, and could only provide him with a salary of 2,400 euros a month as a junior staff, that he was furious and simply crooked his nose.
"Old classmate, don't get excited." Tao Qian hurriedly explained, "As a middle-level company, you need to return to Huaxia frequently for training, and if you go back now, you need to apply for a visa, which is very inconvenient, so..."
Discrimination!
Blatant discrimination!
Why can only Chinese people serve as middle level!?
Zhao Dengzhou rushed out of the door in anger, and when he returned home, he wrote an article discrediting the East Asia Automobile Group, which was published at the Caesars Forum, the largest forum in France.
His words are sharp, and he used to be Chinese, he knows Huaxia far better than the native French, and the smear is full of force, which soon resonated strongly with his French compatriots, and quickly became the most popular post in the forum, which was highlighted and topped by the moderator.
Since then, Zhao Dengzhou has made persistent efforts and started his arduous mission of sparing no effort to discredit Huaxia, and will fight for it all his life.
......
Hudu, the headquarters of Xingchen Technology.
"You see, this guy's surname is Zhao, he is obviously a Chinese, but he spares no effort to smear us, and I don't know if his ancestor will crawl out of the graveyard angrily after reading such an article." An Ran said with some sadness, "I never expected that electric cars would enter Europe, and the Europeans haven't said anything yet, but these Chinese people have stopped doing it first." β
Luo Jia took An Ran's mobile phone and looked at it twice, and said disapprenously: "Ange. Zhao? This guy is not only Chinese, but he seems to be a fan of the Dragon Clan, and Anges is not the dean of the Dragon Clan Ricassel Academy. β
"It's normal to think about it carefully, think that they sharpened their heads and desperately emigrated abroad, suppose one day they find out that they joined the national army in 49, can they not be angry?"
An Ran nodded lightly, "I just can't get used to it, people are responsible for their own choices, now these guys are like mad dogs, they can't see us any better, I really want me to meet this guy named Ange Zhao, and absolutely scold him to death." β
Luo Jia smiled, "Scolding is the behavior of the weak, because you can't beat it, you can only speak quickly for a while, and the style of our Xingchen Technology has always been straightforward." β
Luo Jia's words resonated with others in the laboratory, everyone laughed, the tough guy Tiantuan didn't scold, he opened up directly, and smashed it with a bunch of black technology! Smash to death!
Luo Jia checked the experimental machine for the last time, took a few steps back, then put on his goggles and raised his right hand high.
"Magnetic levitation shock absorption system, the seventh experiment, start!"
