alien heir

In the eyes of outsiders and most of the media, this simple and luxurious bus exhibition is an amazing success, not to mention the advanced technology displayed, nor the high price of the car. An on-site turnover of more than 420 billion is already a big book.

However, from the perspective of interested people or insiders, such a high on-site turnover, or so many on-site orders, at a rudimentary new car show is obviously abnormal. Even big car companies like Mercedes-Benz and Toyota It is also impossible to launch a new car at a show and make so much money at once, even if the aristocratic Rolls Royce is in the car.

Or it can be said that even if luxury cars like Rolls-Royce or Aston Martin are really released for sale, it is impossible to get so many orders in one exhibition, let alone passenger cars. In other words, the charm of passenger cars, or RVs is far worse than those of supercars.

Therefore, it is obvious that the intentions of those who placed huge orders, especially those who placed orders for dozens of vehicles at once, are quite interesting.

This is indeed the case. What outsiders don’t know is that long before the release of the exhibition, the situation of the two new cars of the Arrow Motor Company has been followed by interested people at home and abroad, and the purpose of these interested people to focus on the Arrow Motor Company Not quite the same.

Some people are indeed interested in these two cars or related technologies launched by Arrow Motor Company, and some people are actually interested in the power behind Arrow Motor Company, which is the rumored Austen Group. Through the Arrow Motor Company, catch the line of the Orstein Group.

Relatively speaking, the domestic people, because the domestic government has already carried out a series of cooperation with the subsidiary companies of the Austen Group through Chengyuan, most of them are interested in the car itself or the technology of the car, while the foreign people.is primarily interested in the Austen Group.

To be honest, except for a very few people in major foreign institutions, such as Joseph Lee of the Wanxi Group, others did not look down on Arrow Motors at all, and they all went directly to Sweden, hoping to directly negotiate business with the Olstein Group .

It's a pity that in actual operation, they can't touch the core figures of the Orstein Group at all, even through the subsidiaries of the Orstein Group, such as Saab and Ericsson.Companies such as Volvo are also unable to obtain more information about the Olstein Group, and even the Swedish government has limited knowledge of the Olstein Group.In this way, Orstein is like those mysterious big chaebol families such as Rockefeller or Rothschild. You know he is there, but you have no way to get in.

After being unable to contact the people of the Austen Group through various means, especially after being unable to meet the two legendary princesses, they turned their eyes back to Huaguo after suffering nothing.Putting it on the Arrow Motor Company, which has the deepest cooperation with the Austen Group so far, or Cheng Yuan, who was given the nickname Lucky Boy.

Because so far, almost all interested people know that Cheng Yuan can grow from a little-known little person.Suddenly becoming a big shot today is mainly due to the good luck at the beginning, meeting the two princesses and being supported by the two princesses.This is how he has the power and influence he has today.

Although this story seems absurd, or too legendary, it cannot stand much scrutiny.However, for the dignitaries at home and abroad, it doesn't matter what happened, the key is the result.The result is that Cheng Yuan is indeed the only person known so far who can directly hook up with the Austen Group, or the two mysterious princesses.

Previously, because of a wrong judgment, Huaguo took the lead. Not only did it obtain a large amount of imports of new carbon isotopes and other nanomaterials, it also contributed to a so-called carbon five countries free trade agreement, which basically monopolized the major international carbon fiber and other carbon isotope materials. With a large number of quotas, this carbon five country is like OPEC in oil.

As a result, until now, if you want to buy a large amount of carbon isotope materials such as carbon fiber graphene, you can only negotiate with these five countries.But it is a pity that these new materials themselves are of high value, and if they are made into industrial products, the value will be even higher, and these five countries are also countries with strong industrial capabilities. If you want to digest your own material quota, it is simply impossible for foreign countries to purchase new nano-carbon materials.

After tossing so far, everyone has come to understand that instead of continuing to try their luck, it is better to go directly to Cheng Yuan. After all, after careful analysis, everything seems to be inseparable from the beginning of Cheng Yuan, a native of China, or rather, I don’t know why Well, the Austen Group actually trusted Cheng Yuan so much, and gave him the agency rights for many new materials and even high-tech robots such as robots.

However, when they realized it, Cheng Yuan was already in the country. Due to his mysterious whereabouts, low-key behavior, and the secret protection of Huaguo, it was difficult for many foreign organizations to directly contact Cheng Yuan. The public exhibition naturally seized the opportunity to show favor to Cheng Yuan, so that before the press conference started, Arrow Motor Company received various invitations, all of which were from Cheng Yuan.

Both Cheng Yuan and Liang Hua knew the purpose of these people. Cheng Yuan just let Liang Hua figure it out, and Liang Hua simply threw out an unspoken rule for admission.

This unspoken rule is not a written rule, but a statement from Liang Hua himself. This statement is that if you order more than [-] cars on the spot during the exhibition, you will be eligible to have a face-to-face conversation with Cheng Yuan.

It is because of this rhetoric that the domestic institutions will not talk about it. For foreign institutions, it is a test of their courage. After all, the price of ordering [-] cars is not cheap, and even if you buy [-] cars, you will only get The qualification to talk to Cheng Yuan does not promise you anything.

Fortunately, the things in Cheng Yuan's hands are too tempting, and the big foreign companies are basically not short of money, so basically the famous big companies have paid for [-] cars as a permit, and only a very few people For example, Prince Abdullah of Arabia bought [-] cars at one time, and even asked for additional money for modification.

In any case, since the word of mouth has already been released and many people have done it, Cheng Yuan can only fulfill his promise, so after the press conference, those who ordered more than [-] cars on the spot received Ah The invitation card personally sent by the reception staff of Luo Automobile Company.Invite them to a charity dinner hosted by Cheng Yuan in the evening.

Seeing that there were really extra invitations, those who spent a lot of money to buy a car finally put their hearts back into their stomachs, and then looked at the people around them who also received invitations, and they all smiled knowingly at each other.

All the people who wanted to attend the dinner did not leave, but continued to stay, and were guided into the guest house of Arrow Motor Company to rest.

Due to the use of a large number of robots and other automated controls, the Arrow Motor Company has a high degree of automation, so it does not need too many people.Therefore, after the company expanded, it did not recruit a lot of employees, especially the administrative staff, and it did not recruit any additional staff.

For a factory, workers and engineers generally work in the factory, while only administrative personnel, or senior personnel such as software engineers, work in the office building.But the problem is that Cheng Yuan's new office building is too large.Taking the current administrative staffing of Arrow Motor Company as an example, even if all the temporary workers are included and each of them has a room, they are not satisfied at all.So in the end, Cheng Yuan simply converted a part of the office building into a guest house for receiving guests, which was under the jurisdiction of the public relations department.

Before.Even if the rooms in these guest houses are not well utilized, they basically receive some high-ranking officials sent by Huaguo.But the number of people is small, and only now, after a large number of representatives of domestic and foreign companies have moved in, does it really come in handy.

Adhering to the high-tech concept of Arrow Motor Company, the rooms in these guest houses are also full of technology and equipped with many intelligent facilities, so even foreign foreigners who have high vision and have stayed in various high-end hotels are also big. Long experience, straight sigh worthwhile trip.

However, it's okay to talk to people from big foreign companies, but it's not easy for Cheng Yuan to continue to make decisions about high-ranking domestic officials, especially some representatives of the central government or military leaders.

Just like now, right after the press conference, although Cheng Yuan said that he would not see anyone, but when Lieutenant General Wu Hongfei, who had dealt with Cheng Yuan, came to visit in person, he couldn't turn anyone away.

In desperation, Cheng Yuan had no choice but to meet Wu Hongfei in person, and asked him why he came here to find him again so soon. Only after this question did he realize that he was interested in the intelligent technology of the smart bus.

"In other words, you want to buy the patented technology of our intelligent control system?" Cheng Yuan asked.

"That's right." Wu Hongfei nodded.

"Hehe, you guys are very discerning." Cheng Yuan smiled.

Indeed, the two new buses launched by Arrow Motors have too many advanced technologies, but what attracts the most attention is the intelligent control program of this car, or in other words, the software control system.

In fact, the most powerful part of this bus lies in its main control system, or its software system, other reinforcement materials such as carbon fiber, and the power system. Although they are also very important, they are all icing on the cake .

It is precisely because of the intelligent control system that a series of other configurations can be realized, such as airbags that can only be exploded outside the body, such as capture nets, and humanized operations.

It is conceivable that if this setting is transferred to other cars, or to tanks and armored vehicles, the effect will be even better.

And what is even more surprising is that although the intelligent control systems of these two buses are very powerful, the required hardware conditions are not high.

For example, the core processor of this car is just an ordinary eight-core processor with a clock frequency of only 2.0ghz. The memory is a bit large and requires 2t of memory. At present, that is, the configuration of a mainstream server, the market price is only about 120 to [-].

The problem is that such a computer with this configuration can rarely hold such a powerful control program. Usually, the software control system of this kind of bus like Arrow Motors can only be used with supercomputers, and this kind of bus This kind of system can be installed with such a simple configuration, which shows the value of this kind of system.

It would be fine if these technologies belonged to the Austen Group, but during the car review process, it was clearly written that it was self-developed, that is to say, the smart program of the car is its own intellectual property rights, and the ownership of the technology is in Arrow In the hands of the car company, this has to attract the attention of interested people.

It is precisely because of the importance of this software system with low hardware requirements but very powerful functions that Wu Hongfei, who has been paying attention to Arrow Motors and Cheng Yuan, came here again to ask Cheng Yuan about this kind of operating technology in person.Whether or not the technology is really in your own hands.

Facing Wu Hongfei's question, Cheng Yuan smiled: "That's right, the technology of this intelligent control program is indeed developed by ourselves. We have a complete set of technology, although some core technologies have long been registered as patents in Sweden."

"Then can we purchase the patent right to use this intelligent control program?" Wu Hongfei said, "This technology is very advanced and has strong portability and compatibility. We are very interested in this and hope to obtain this The source code of the program, so that we can modify it ourselves to adapt to different devices."

"The right to use the patent." Cheng Yuan thought for a while, "It's not impossible, but the patent fee is a bit expensive, so I don't know if you can afford it."

"Tell me how much it costs." Wu Hongfei said firmly, "Of course, the price should not be too outrageous. There must be no political conditions."

"Hehe, how could it be?" Cheng Yuan shook his head, "Well, our company has been wanting to do charity recently. And there is a charity plan to fund poor children in the western region to go to school. If you can handle all the administrative procedures for us and inject 50 [-] million yuan to do charity, then this intelligent control program technology can authorize part of the source code for your use."

"Only part?"

"Yes. It's only part." Cheng Yuan nodded, "Even if it's part, it's enough for you to make various modifications. We can't fully open it to you. In this way, what are we doing?"

"Administrative procedures for charity projects, 50 billion yuan, are you sure about these two conditions?"

"Yes, sure."

"That's good." Wu Hongfei immediately made a decision, "I can agree to these two conditions now... When can I hand over?"

"Don't worry." Cheng Yuan shook his hand, "We have a charity party to be held tonight, I think you might as well stay here and rest for a while, and we will talk about the specifics after attending our charity dinner tonight, what do you think? "

"That's good." Wu Hongfei smiled, "It just so happens that I have heard about your reception room for a long time. It is said that it is full of sense of technology. I am really ashamed of myself for not coming to live."

"That's good." Cheng Yuan nodded, and then called Emma to come in, "Emma, ​​you personally lead General Wu and the others to the VIP room No. 1, and as for General Wu's entourage, they must also be arranged, and there is no room for error. "

"Yes." Emma nodded, then stood aside, obviously waiting for Wu Hongfei.

Regarding this, Wu Hongfei was not hypocritical, stood up with a smile, let Emma lead the way, and he followed behind, and when he left Cheng Yuan's office door, his younger brothers waiting outside continued They followed Wu Hongfei, but when they came to the corridor, a stream of people automatically formed.

After finding out that Wu Hongfei had really left, Cheng Yuan shook his head, feeling that he could no longer stay in the company, it was too uncomfortable for people to live in.

In fact, it's not just Wu Hongfei, there are also domestic government and business people who want to meet in private. Many of them didn't abide by Liang Hua's tone before, and didn't place an order for thirty cars at one time, but they always wanted to rely on Talk about things with your own relationship and status, and put on a tough look.

As for Wu Hongfei, he had no choice, because Wu Hongfei's status was too high, and the employees here were not easy to stop him.There are also other directors and secretaries, whether it is the employees here or the robot guards, it is not easy to stop them, but if you see them all, let alone how annoying it will be, the influence of spreading out will not be great. Well, lose your current detached status.So he had no other choice, Cheng Yuan simply played the trick of disappearing, you want to see me, I will hide first, so that you can't find my head office.

In this way, Cheng Yuan immediately took Fanya away quietly, and even the people in his own company didn't know where they went.

In fact, Cheng Yuan and Fanya slept in the room that Cheng Yuan had rented in the city, and fought all the time. No, they rested until the sun went down and the charity party was about to start, and then they reappeared.

This charity gala was also held in the office building of the Arrow Motor Company. The location was the central part where the exhibition hall used to display new cars. But now, it has been transformed into a luxurious and technological banquet hall. , the banquet method is a Western self-service tea party situation.

Since the party was not decided in a hurry, but the company had already made a reservation, the preparations were very adequate. Not only were the ingredients for the dinner very rich, they were all carefully selected, and even the band playing at the dinner was invited in advance The prestigious Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, in addition to many star singers, strived to make this dinner a high-end atmosphere, and it must not embarrass the company.

All these arrangements are handled by Liang Hua's public relations department. As long as there is enough money for this kind of banquet, it can be as luxurious as you want. If it weren't for Liang Hua's simple business If you want to change Cheng Yuan's idea, he might just say, do whatever you want, we're not short of money!

The organizer has put their heart into it, and the participants have already expected this, so all the guests are well prepared. When the banquet starts, all of them are dressed up, making this charity dinner very grand and exciting. luxurious.

In fact, this dinner is really a genuine charity party, because in this charity party, there will be an on-site donation link, and all donations will be collected to set up a charity education foundation to support Huaguo Improve the learning environment for children who cannot afford to go to school in the western region.

The intention of Cheng Yuan to do this is indeed kind. He really wants to do charity, but he obviously lacks the confidence to do charity by himself, so he wants to make the cake bigger and pull everyone to do it together. Only if there are many people involved , especially after the participation of many foreign companies, it will be less difficult when dealing with the domestic government and other departments.

However, it is obvious that people who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy [-] cars, get invitations to banquets, or access permits do not think that this is really charity. They almost all regard this charitable donation as a The second threshold, they all regard this as one of the conditions for cooperation.

In any case, after the banquet started, whether it was various celebrities or business representatives, everyone was polite and began to chat with each other in small groups, acting like a gentleman. After the costumed Fania and Emma arrived, the crowd immediately surrounded them like sharks smelling blood.

That's right, in the eyes of these people, other people are not important, and the most delicious fresh meat is Cheng Yuan himself!

Fortunately, the company's public relations department had already expected this, so before Fania could make a move, a group of part-time security waiters surrounded them, forming a human wall to separate the crowd, and After Cheng Yuan also hurriedly delivered a short welcome speech on the stage, accompanied by Fania and Emma again, he went to a box with floor-to-ceiling glass in the corner of the banquet hall.

Obviously, this box is the place where you can really communicate with Cheng Yuan face to face, and those who can come here are definitely not the various male and female stars who were invited to press the stage, but those who paid a lot of money to get admission. CEOs or business representatives of major companies that have been certified. (To be continued..)
