Chapter 857 - The Blood Of The Nation’s Citizens Are Boiling!
Chapter 857: The Blood Of The Nation’s Citizens Are Boiling!
‘Japan and our country have always had an irreconcilable enmity between us. Especially in the last century, Japan has committed countless blood debts to our country.
‘Therefore, from the bottom to the top, everyone is wary of Japan.
‘But because the world is now focused on peaceful cooperation between countries, China cannot abandon a huge market and international reputation for hatred, so it has been pushing for there to be a friendly relationship between China and Japan. This also leaves the hatred in people’s hearts temporarily suppressed.
‘However, this matter was already very depressing to begin with. In the end, a private company is promoting China and Japan’s friendship in the media every day. They even invited Japan to enter Japan’s market!’
The public could not help but have some prejudice against the Jiadian Group.
Someone with a keen sense noticed this matter and gave Su Yang timely guidance. It was revealed that Su Yang’s cooperation might bring the world’s leading technology to Japan and strengthen the Japanese enterprises. Furthermore, the focus of Jiadian Group was on developing overseas, which could affect the development of China.
The netizens knew about the technology of Jiadian Group, especially some of the world’s leading technologies. Although they had not shared them yet and had no other uses, the netizens had not forgotten them.
When the netizens heard that the Jiadian Group was going to bring the new technology to Japan and not stay in China, they were even more furious. They thought that Su Yang was helping the enemy!
As a result, many aggressive netizens started to attack the celebrities under the Jiadian Group, Su Yang, and even the company.
There were even some more radical netizens who started to call for a boycott of “Wandering Planet”, preventing Jiadian Group from earning money through the movie.
Let’s not talk about whether this idea was right or wrong.
After a month of screening, the box office potential of “Wandering Planet” was almost used up. It was all because of the long term screening and collecting some loose money to accumulate its own box office record.
So… Boycotting “Wandering Planet” at that time was a completely useless measure.
This was a silly idea that was blindly thought of.
Little Deeny, who had been monitoring the public opinion online, was the first to notice this. She then informed Su Yang and Li Zijun.
When Su Yang heard this, he smiled casually and did not pay much attention to it. ‘The netizens are impulsive and one-sided. Indeed, they can be easily bewitched. However, after the truth is explained, they will feel guilty about it and be more tolerant towards the people involved afterwards.’
As for the explanation… It was not something that Su Yang needed to care about. Li Zijun was a three-star talent, so he believed that she would be able to handle it quickly.
Therefore, Su Yang remained unaffected even when the public opinion in the country was getting more and more intense. With Yagawa Masaru’s help, he started to get in touch with various corporations, big shots, departments, and companies, and formed many connections.
However, even if the initial plan went smoothly, Su Yang did not enter the top three markets in the world. Instead, he started to establish branch companies and research institutes in Japan through legal means. In just half a month, he managed to obtain the necessary permissions through Yagawa Masaru.
For example, access permits for the automobile industry, the finance industry, and so on.
Su Yang was not anxious, and neither was Yagawa Masaru.
This “scamming and killing a large corporation” tactic was not something that could be settled in a short period of time. Hence, Su Yang did things slowly and calmly. Yagawa Masaru was also waiting patiently for an opportunity. Other than getting people to report Su Yang’s schedule from time to time, he did not do anything else.
After receiving the permits, Su Yang and Zhao Licheng went to the car dealers and communicated with their executives, directors, and presidents.
Because of Su Yang’s status and the fact that he represented the country, these people showed him a lot of respect. As long as Su Yang approached them, they would definitely send someone from the highest position in the company to receive him. However, there was no concrete progress.
After running for half a month, even Jia Xiaoqian, who came to Japan with Su Yang, could not stand it anymore.
On the way back to the hotel, Jia Xiaoqian whispered into Su Yang’s ear, “Mr. Su! These Japanese people are too arrogant. We were invited by them, and it was even their richest man who pulled the strings. However, they treated us neither warmly nor coldly. They are obviously insincere when it comes to discussing a collaboration.”
Su Yang, who was sitting beside her, smiled and said, “That’s normal. After all, we’re outsiders, so it’s natural for us to be ostracized. If they were so passionate about us the moment they came up, I would suspect that there’s something fishy about them.”
She nodded thoughtfully.
Then he continued, “But they’re still angry. They’re too cold to us, and…”
She hesitated for a moment before saying, “When they sent us out earlier, they thought that we did not understand Japanese, so they whispered to each other in Japanese. They said that our Chinese companies have no technology and no core competitiveness, so we’ve come to work with them and learn.
“If it were not for the country and Yagawa Masaru’s recommendation, they would not have wanted to interact with us since it was troublesome and time-consuming, plus there are no benefits.
“Right now, they’re planning to wear us down. When our patience runs out, they will cooperate with a small project and send us away.”
Su Yang smiled. “Did they really say that?”
Jia Xiaoqian nodded. “Have you forgotten that I graduated from Oxford University? I studied Japanese myself.”
It was only then that Su Yang remembered that Jia Xiaoqian graduated from Oxford University, and she graduated with full credits ahead of time. According to the system’s evaluation, Jia Xiaoqian was considered to be “good at studying” and was a standard genius.
At the thought of this, Su Yang couldn’t help but believe Jia Xiaoqian’s words. He shook his head nonchalantly. “It’s fine. There will come a time when they beg us in the end.”
Su Yang wasn’t joking. The reason why he was interacting with these people wasn’t to take the initiative to work with them, but to give them a way to cooperate with him…
Right, Su Yang had always wanted these people to beg him…
After all, Su Yang’s next plan was about to unfold. At that time… The entire situation would be reversed!
For the next half a month, Su Yang continued to do what he did when he first arrived in Japan… Chatting with the big shots from various industries, making friends, building his own branch, and mobilizing resources.
Because he did not do anything, Japan, including Yagawa Masaru, gradually let down their guard. They felt that Su Yang was probably trying to develop step by step so that nothing would go wrong in the short term.
Just when Japan gradually let down their guard, public opinion in China continued to brew.
Initially, there were not many people who doubted Jiadian Group, but gradually, they realized that the company was playing dead and did not respond to anything. More and more people started to pay attention to this matter and left comments, inquiries, and denouncements on Jiadian Group and Su Yang’s Weibo accounts.
Some radicals even started to give Su Yang nicknames: Faker Su.
When Little Deeny heard these comments, she could not help but feel a little anxious and went to look for Su Yang several times a day, hoping that Su Yang would give her a reply. However, Su Yang still trusted Li Zijun and believed that she would be able to resolve the situation.
Just when Japan let down their guard and the country was in an uproar, Li Zijun determined that the situation had developed to a suitable stage and finally made her first response.
Jiadian Group had officially made changes to the Zhongan Automobile, dividing the production line of the company into two. The first was to continue the original Zhongan Automobile’s management approach, while the second was to become independent and establish Jiadian Automobile.
Jiadian Automobile would be focused on high-end new energy vehicles. Not only would it be equipped with the world’s leading artificial intelligence technology and auto-pilot technology, but it would also be the world’s first high-performance graphene battery unit produced by the research institute.
And the highly efficient graphene battery set produced by the Institute of the Jiadian Group could not only achieve a range of nearly 2,000 kilometers during the test, but the charging time… Only took 60 minutes.
What was even more amazing was that Jiadian Automobile’s charging system was removable, and it allowed the electricity for home appliances to be used as well. For safety reasons, the charging system would slow down by 50%. In other words, as long as you brought the batteries home for two hours a week, your car could travel 2,000 kilometers.
Also, to make it easier for the car owner to use the car when charging, the car would be equipped with two batteries… Which would not affect the car owner’s usage.
This was practically an epochal technology. It directly improved the progress of electric vehicles by leaps and bounds, making it another type of vehicle that could rival fuel vehicles.
Because it solves two of the biggest drawbacks of electric vehicles: endurance and charging.
Actually, every country had always wanted to develop new energy vehicles, but because of these two factors, progress was slow.
The endurance problem limited the use of the new energy vehicle to the urban area, while charging made it harder for the vehicle to charge outside and more difficult to charge at home.
People often joked that the biggest problem with electric vehicles was while conventional cars were going to the gas station and would leave within minutes, electric vehicles were still being charged…
And now, the reason why Jiadian Group was doing this was because when other cars needed gas, all you had to do was change the battery and charge it back at home.
Just thinking about it made Su Yang feel great!
How far is 2,000 kilometers? That’s the distance from the Imperial Capital to Shencheng, which could be said to cover the whole of China.
If he wanted to drive, he could probably travel around the Tibetan area with two batteries.
Therefore, when this announcement was released, the whole country was in an uproar.
Those who had previously said that Jiadian Group had brought their new technology overseas and that they were not developing it locally were speechless.
But that was not all!
After the news about the electric vehicle was released, Li Zijun, Xiaopeng Automobile and Future Automobile released the second piece of news.
In order to allow the citizens to enjoy the convenience of new energy technologies as soon as possible, and to support the development of domestic companies and increase the competitiveness of domestic companies in the world, Jiadian Group conducted detailed research on various domestic car companies and finally decided on two domestic automobile companies as their first batch of partners.
The two state-owned car companies were pioneers in the field of new energy vehicles in the country. They had mature technology, and Jiadian Group would customize graphene batteries according to their car model and develop cars together.
These vehicles will also become the first truly efficient energy vehicles in the world!
When this news came out, those who had doubted Su Yang for forgetting his roots and only knew how to support Japanese enterprises but did not know how to help Chinese enterprises felt like they had been slapped.
At this time, Li Zijun also used the Jiadian Group’s official account to explain why the company wanted to develop overseas and whether it would affect their domestic business.
The first thing she explained was that the overseas business of Jiadian Group was actually quite opposite, and it had no impact on the domestic business.
Just like the Belt And Road Initiative, Jiadian Group would be spending their local currency to develop in China and foreign currency to develop overseas. The two did not affect each other.
Moreover, Jiadian Group’s development overseas was entirely dependent on the company’s own foreign exchange. They did not borrow foreign exchange from domestic assets and develop overseas.
Therefore, everyone can rest assured because Jiadian Group would always be a Chinese company. When they do anything, they will consider the country’s interests.
This series of three moves had eliminated all doubts about Jiadian Group. Just as Su Yang had said, the netizens were kind. The bigger the misunderstanding, the more tolerant they would be after knowing the truth.
Therefore, many netizens started to spontaneously promote the announcement of Jiadian Group, claiming that it was a real Chinese company! They even… Advertised and promoted the films, artists, and projects under the Jiadian Group.
This made “Wandering Planet”, Han Yi, Meiyue, Lin Jiali, and the others gain some popularity.
When the public opinion on the internet reversed, the impact of this incident gradually increased.
‘After Jiadian Group produced a revolutionary product, the glass phone, they actually stepped into the automobile industry and brought out something that could have a huge impact… New energy batteries!’
This immediately attracted the attention of many international car manufacturers.
Whether it was America, Germany, or Japan, all of them had their eyes on this place.
Initially, they were skeptical about the so-called new technology Jiadian Group claimed to have. After all, there were too many people who said that they had a new breakthrough, but most of them lies.
However, in the future, when the two car companies released detailed parameters of their new cars, together with the promotional video of their batteries and cars, all the car companies in the country knew that… A new era was coming!
‘Electric vehicles have really made it into reality!
‘And… it would have a huge impact on the entire automobile industry!
