As the video call was connected, Xu Yun immediately saw two figures appear on the screen, in addition to Meng Songyan standing in front, there was also a beautiful girl with long legs next to her.

He had heard Meng Songyan mention the product manager of the pioneer Lingyue before, although he had not met offline, he was no stranger.

Thinking of the popularity caused by the launch of the Pioneer Lingyue, he immediately smiled and praised.

"Congratulations on your success in sales at Trailblazer Lingyue, I've seen it all online."

After speaking, he noticed that he was still holding a baby bottle in his hand, and hurriedly put it on the table in front of him.

Although Meng Songyan said that it was the first time he had seen Xu Yun's image of a father, as a person who had come over, he naturally didn't feel anything.

Quan Dang didn't see it and replied calmly: "The main reason why the Pioneer Lingyue is so popular is its own function, and we actually didn't make much effort. He, like Zhao Yu, did not blame himself for this credit at all.

And he wasn't wrong.

If the Trailblazer Inspiron doesn't have solid-state batteries and intelligent driving, or if it's extremely expensive, then whatever marketing plan they come up with won't be very effective.

After all, everyone enthusiastically buys the Pioneer Lingyue not to see that person, but for the function of the car.

And Zhao Yu, who was standing silently behind Meng Songyan at the moment, was secretly looking at Xu Yun.

After she joined Pioneer and became the manager of Lingyue series products, she had never met Xu Yun offline.

It's just from the old employees of the company and the Internet that she understands that in her impression, as the most talented young genius in human history, her personality should be relatively bland, and she is not interested in things other than research.

If it weren't for Meng Songyan's certification, she would have doubted whether she had made a mistake.

But whether to say it or not, knowing that Xu Yun was so approachable, she was relieved after coming back to her senses.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Meng Songyan add:

"At present, our cars are in short supply, and many cities are asking to open up for sale."

"For this reason, I suggested Ningde's side, hoping to speed up the construction of the battery swapping station."

"Well done."

Xu Yun nodded in affirmation: "Now there are only five cities, and the sales are indeed a little less." ”

Meng Songyan wanted to report more than that, and after talking about the release of more sales cities, he excitedly mentioned the sales of the pioneer Lingyue all day today.

"Mr. Xu."

"According to the data aggregated by various cities, a total of more than 10,000 high-end versions of the Lingyue were sold today."

"This has already broken industry records."

Xu Yun's face inevitably showed surprise when he heard this number, he didn't expect the Pioneers to be so popular.

You know, in addition to the number of sales in just one day, it's only five cities.

The key is all high-spec version.

Even Tesla, which previously occupied a large number of markets, sold only tens of thousands of units a month.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the pioneer Lingyue broke the industry record.

"Good."

"I'm afraid this will be an ant on a hot pot for Tesla." Xu Yun nodded with satisfaction, looking forward to it more and more.

Meng Songyan also echoed: "It can only be said that they made the wrong choice at the beginning. ”

Xu Yun was worried that continuing to talk would wake up his daughter, so he immediately ended the call with Meng Songyan and asked them to continue to expand the Pioneer Lingyue market according to the original plan.

On the other hand, on Tesla's side, indeed, as Xu Yun said, an emergency meeting was quickly held after the relevant situation of the pioneer Lingyue spread overseas and attracted the attention of many people.

At the beginning, Deepin Technology announced the establishment of Pioneer to create the world's first solid-state battery new energy vehicle.

Although they pay attention, they are far from the survival of the company.

It is believed that Deepin Technology uses so many advanced technologies, and the final price of the car will definitely be very high.

At that time, it will be a very small number of people who will be able to buy, and it will not affect their market share.

But after seeing the official guide price released by the Trailblazer Lingyue, they were all dumbfounded.

I even thought I was dazzled at one point.

I never expected that the final price of the Trailblazer Lingyue was lower than theirs, so that users would buy their cars after being kicked in the head by a donkey.

What's more, with the success of the pioneer Lingyue, other car companies will definitely gradually launch their own cars to compete for this huge cake.

However, among many new energy vehicles, they chose to adhere to their own standards and did not accept solid-state batteries.

In this way, even if they launch a new model, it will be automatically ignored because it is equipped with a lithium battery.

Originally, they also put some hope on Panasonic, hoping that the other party could conquer solid-state battery technology.

In the end, it didn't work out at all.

Although the other party uses the method of adding catalysts, it also improves battery life.

However, the battery life will be much reduced, and it is more likely to explode in the event of an impact.

so that they dare not use it.

"The Trailblazer Lingyue series sold well as soon as it was launched, breaking many records in the industry, and even overseas users spoke highly of it."

California Asia.

Silicon Valley.

In the conference room of Tesla's headquarters, a senior consultant in a suit reported to the figure on the screen in front of him, Musk is the CEO and product architect, but he is also the boss of several other companies, and usually does not interfere in everything.

This time, I received an invitation to a meeting from the company's senior management, so I had to temporarily stop the video of the matter at hand.

It's a pity that the results of the report made him very unhappy.

"Are they crazy?"

Thinking of the information he had, he was very incomprehensible about the price of the Trail Blazers.

It's inconceivable that a company would do that.

With such a low price and the addition of intelligent driving and shaping fluorocarbon polymer coating materials, they have no place to compare.

Even now I am not even qualified to wrestle my wrists.

The senior consultant didn't care about the boss's anger at the moment, and immediately told the movements of other brands.

"Boss."

"At present, in addition to the pioneer Inspiron, other car brands have also raised their solid-state battery cars to the Japanese level, and our situation is very bad at the moment."

As his words fell, the rest of the room in the conference room also completely opened up the conversation and spoke one after another.

"The strength of the other car's power is not only the solid-state battery, but also the hardware such as intelligent driving is also significantly ahead of us, and I am afraid that it will not be long before they occupy the entire global market."

"It turns out that we should have chosen to cooperate with Ningde in the first place, otherwise we would not be as passive as we are now."

"We have to take action, and if we continue to sit idly by, there is only one way out."

……

Listening to everyone's words into his ears, the old horse on the screen can be said to be extremely pale.

I didn't expect the company's top management to have so many afterthoughts.

But as everyone said, now is not the time to hold accountable.

Companies must seize the opportunity as soon as possible and come up with a suitable solution.

The thought stayed here, Lao Ma seemed to have made some decision, and immediately announced to the senior personnel of the company present: "Immediately announce to the outside world that all cooperation with Panasonic will be renounced, and the new model will be replaced with an all-solid-state battery." "I persevered for so long in vain, and finally I had to give in.

Although this will cause the company to suffer relatively large losses, it can at least compete with other brands in the long run.

If you still insist on traditional lithium batteries, it is really hopeless.

Originally, they had two new cars in their hands, and they were not too far from going on sale.

But now that we have chosen to accept solid-state batteries, this new model will definitely not be able to go online, and we need to re-develop and design according to the standards of solid-state batteries.

Since you know that you can't compete with the pioneer Lingyue, you have to stand out from other solid-state battery brands.

After all, the pioneer brand alone cannot eat the entire global automobile market.

What's more, in the future, oil trucks will gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

In the face of the final decision made by his own big boss, others naturally have no objections.

Moreover, everyone present understood that this was the best solution.

"It's the boss."

After responding to the sound of knowing, he saw that the figure of the old horse on the screen disappeared directly.

Apparently in a bad mood.

Perhaps aware of the impact on the company this time, others did not dare to hesitate.

The announcement was made that morning.

And take the initiative to contact the Ningde era.

Originally, Tesla also thought that such a big news report would cause shock and discussion from the outside world.

The result was surprising, but it didn't cause much of a stir.

The first batch of owners who snapped up the Pioneer Lingyue must be the first to shoot a video to show off, because they want to help promote the powerful functions of Lingyue.

With the rapid increase of similar videos on the Internet, domestic netizens are envious and do not forget to spread them to the Internet.

If I think it's going to be sour, then I want everyone to be together.

Anyway, if overseas users want to buy the Pioneer Lingyue, it will be further later.

For men, regardless of nationality, there is an indescribable love for cars.

In particular, it is a car that realizes truly intelligent driving.

Therefore, after seeing these videos from platforms such as YouTube, the attention is immediately grabbed.

How can you still be in the mood to pay attention to what battery Tesla uses.

At first, some people were skeptical about the authenticity of the video, but as the recorded videos of Lingyue driving on various roads were uploaded, they were immediately stunned.

Even ask how you can buy it in the comments section of the video.

Obviously, the pioneer Lingyue has just been sold in a few cities, and its influence has already spread all over the world.

It's hard to imagine.

And when overseas users learned that they could not buy it temporarily, they also expressed their deep regret for the first time.

"It's so cool, I'd love to own one."

"Oh my God, I didn't expect it to really let me see the intelligent driving technology, and Deepin Technology is simply the greatest enterprise in the world."

"Compared to the car in the video, what I've seen before is a big toy."

"Where can I get it?"

"There is no way to leave a mark on the body with a forklift, this is a completely walking tank."

"It's a very novel and practical way to build a battery swapping station to solve the problem of charging time."

"It's a shame why there is no sale of this car in my city."

……

However, while others are thinking about when they will be able to buy the Trailblazer Lingyue to experience intelligent driving, Panasonic is shrouded in a huge shadow and is about to be stripped out of the battery market.

Since Ningde obtained the authorization of Deepin Technology solid-state battery technology, the global battery industry has ushered in a major reshuffle.

Especially those small companies that blindly join the new energy battery industry, basically disappear without even making a splash.

They relied on being an old battery giant company and successfully kept Tesla's orders, which temporarily maintained the normal operation of the company.

But they also know that if they want to continue, they must develop new battery technologies that are as dense as solid-state batteries.

To this end, they have invested a lot of money in research and development during this time, accelerating battery research and development at any cost.

However, they are not laboratories under Deepin Technology after all, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to make results in a short time.

After consuming a lot of money and manpower, only a catalyst that can improve the energy density of lithium batteries has been developed, but there is still a huge gap compared with the solid-state batteries of Deepin Technology.

The key to this addition of catalyst to the battery is even less safe than that of traditional lithium batteries.

Faced with such a result, Shinpei Honma, as the president, kept a straight face almost every day.

Know that a big company can collapse at any time.

Although he also wanted to save the behemoth and try to transform the company into other areas.

However, the results have been very limited.

It takes enough time.

In the past two days, he saw the official launch of Lingyue, the pioneer of Deepin Technology's first solid-state battery car, and immediately realized that the global automotive industry will undergo tremendous changes.

After all, whether it is the various advanced technologies equipped with Inspiron, or the price that people are eye-catching, it shows that it wants to win the largest share of the global automobile market.

And just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly received a notice from Tesla to terminate the cooperation.

Although he had already guessed that this would happen, he was still a little distracted when he really saw it.

"The day has come."

In the office, Honma Jinpei read the termination cooperation document, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, his face was full of loneliness.

Yasufumi Ito, who was also in the room to report to work, noticed the change in the chairman's face. I couldn't help but ask.

"President."

"What's going on?"

In the face of Yasufumi Ito's inquiry, Shinpei Honma did not deliberately sell Sekiko.

The situation was informed directly.

"Just now, Tesla has announced the termination of the cooperation, if I guess correctly, they should have been in contact with Ningde."

Knowing the truth of the matter, Yasufumi Ito seemed calm and did not seem surprised by this.

After thinking for a while, he didn't forget to speak: "It must be that the other party is afraid of the solid-state battery car launched by Deepin Technology, so he gave up his previous insistence and chose to accept the unified battery standard." ”

"You're right." Honma nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Yasufumi Ito asked again, "President, what should we do next?" ”

"With solid-state batteries completely replacing traditional lithium batteries, it is difficult for our batteries to be sold anymore, so let's take advantage of the current respite to let the company transform into other fields as soon as possible."

"I understand the president, I will let people complete the plan as soon as possible."

Yasufumi Ito was forced to accept the reality, leaned over in response to Shinpei Honma's words, and turned around and walked outside.

Soon, only Honma Jinhei was left in the office by himself, sighing secretly.

Regarding Tesla's final decision, the news soon spread to Xu Yun in Jingzhou City.

Xu Yun was not surprised by this result at all, and he knew from the day the solid-state battery came out that the unified battery standard was the trend of the times, and no car company could stop it.

Acceptance is just a matter of time.

Unless you want to watch your brand exit the market.

On the other hand, the increasing number of car brands that are willing to accept a uniform standard for solid-state batteries is also a good thing for the industry as a whole.

Because other car companies want to launch their own solid-state battery cars, they must also build battery swapping stations.

Since the battery swapping stations are all of the same standard, users are completely free to use them at will.

In this way, the construction speed of battery swapping stations has increased rapidly, and the Pioneer Inspiron can also expand its sales scope.

In addition, Xu Yun knows very well that with the production capacity of Pingzhou's super factory, it is impossible to meet the entire automobile market, so it is still necessary for everyone to operate together.

After all, when he eats meat, he always has to leave some soup for others to drink.

The main future is not only the new energy vehicle market, with gasoline vehicles gradually eliminated by the market, the global solid-state battery vehicle gap will be very large.

Ningde Times has obviously taken this issue into account, and has invested in several battery bases in recent times.

In this way, in the following period, as the number of battery swapping stations continued to increase, the pioneer Lingyue opened sales in other cities successively.

There are already dozens of cities in the back that can buy the Pioneer Lingyue, making the sales volume quickly exceed 100,000 units.

At the same time, other car brands have gradually begun to promote their solid-state battery vehicles and invest in battery swapping stations.

Although their solid-state battery cars do not have intelligent driving technology and shaped fluorocarbon polymer coating materials, the price is more favorable than that of the pioneer Inspiron.

It can be said that because of the first price of the pioneer Lingyue, the overall price of solid-state battery vehicles has been brought down.

Although everyone is eager to buy the Trailblazer Lingyue, the annual production capacity is limited after all.

In addition, the introduction of various regulations on gasoline vehicles has gradually withdrawn from the stage, and solid-state battery vehicles have become a rigid demand.

At that time, it is still necessary to give up the experience of intelligent driving and choose other brands of solid-state battery cars with cheaper and more affordable prices.

Soon the time is in September.

As a new school season, Xu Yun, a professor at Jingzhou University, is not good at continuing to squat at home.

You have to shine.

During this month, his life can be said to be very regular.

Every day, he either accompanies Chen Shihe or takes care of his daughter, and he almost never goes out of the house.

Fortunately, now that Chen Shihe has recovered, and there are two elders in the family to help take care of him, he can finally spare time to fulfill his obligations as a university professor.

But before that, I have to do my daughter's full moon wine first.

As previously discussed, Xu Yun only invited relatives at home and some professors and academicians of Jingzhou University, and as for the classmates, they basically had a better relationship.

In addition, some people couldn't come over to participate smoothly because of distance and time problems, so they didn't let Chen Jianfang prepare too many meals.

After all, everyone has their own life trajectory, and it's normal to not be able to spare time, but Xu Yun didn't care too much about it.

September 5, 2021, Jingzhou City, Mengjiang Hotel private room.

After Xu Yun warmly greeted the guests, he came to the private room here of Jingzhou University.

Raising his gaze and looking at it simply, there are several familiar figures in his eyes.

There are Tang Yanshan from the Department of Mathematics, Qin Xiangxin, Dean of the Institute of Advanced Mathematics, and Xu Chongxing from the Institute of Physics.

And among these people, Tang Yanshan is the most special, as a mathematics professor who poached Xu Yun to Jingzhou University and watched him grow to the present, he thought that Xu Yun had become a father at this moment, and his heart could be said to be very emotional.

"I really didn't expect it, you will be a father in a few years, and I am afraid that no one would have thought that you would have today's achievements in class."

Xu Yun stood next to him and listened to Tang Yanshan's words, and immediately responded with a smile on his face: "Even if I am talented, it is inseparable from the guidance of professors and academicians, and I can't go this far on my own." ”

"You're going to say those nice things, kid." Xu Chongxing, who was next to him, couldn't help but laugh and curse when he heard this.

In the next time, Xu Yun chatted with everyone a few more words, and even drank some red wine during the period.

When his face was slightly flushed, he only heard Qin Xiangxin on the other side suddenly ask: "Now that all the freshmen of this year have entered the school, when will you, Professor Xu, return to the Institute of Advanced Mathematics, our college has not made any great achievements in mathematics in the past two years." ”

As the director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics, although it is also a good thing for Xu Yun to make progress in other fields, it is also a problem that the School of Mathematics has left Xu Yun and has become unpopular.

If Xu Yun no longer studies theoretical mathematics, and there is no mathematical genius to succeed Xu Yun, then it may take a long time to lead the real rise of the domestic mathematics community.

"Don't worry, Dean Qin, I'll be back to the academy in two days." Xu Yun replied directly.

"That's great, the students at the school are still waiting for you to start classes." After receiving Xu Yun's affirmative reply, Qin Xiangxin's face was immediately full of smiles.

As soon as the words fell, Tang Yanshan, who was next to him, asked again: "You shouldn't have any new projects in your hands next, right?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Yun's mind was running and he thought about it carefully.

The Institute of Optoelectronic Technology has Luo Changhui leading the team to be responsible for research and development, which is enough to overcome more sophisticated lithography machine technology, but he does not need to go to Jincheng to be responsible.

Hou Shengchang of the Academy of Sciences did not arrange new projects for him, but he could enjoy the experience of being a teacher.

The thought stayed here, and he shook his head and said, "There is no project for the time being." ”

Hearing this answer, Tang Yanshan immediately fell into a state of contemplation, as if he was thinking about something.

After a pause of about two or three seconds, he said with a smile: "In this case, do you want to consider recruiting a few graduate students?" ”
