Reinforcement Panel: Tech Wars

Chapter 51: Money! Boatman! (4K)

Raindrops were dripping down from the eaves; Wei Jiang and his father Wei Yonghe were sitting under the eaves in a daze.

After giving up the battery replacement business, no car owners came to the small village.

Wei Jiang lives a leisurely life every day. Apart from cooking, he just stares into space and plays with his phone.

"There's no rush to rebuild the house. Wait until I recover."

When Wei Yonghe heard Wei Jiang’s proposal to rebuild the house, he immediately chose to refuse.

"Rebuilding the house as you envisioned would cost at least several hundred thousand dollars. The little money on the card is not enough for you to do it."

Seeing that Wei Jiang was still trying to convince himself, Wei Yonghe pointed at the worn-out shorts Wei Jiang had been wearing for several years and said:

"Instead of thinking about these things, why don't you buy yourself some clothes and go out to chat with people of your own age?"

"You don't have any youthful vigor. When will you bring your girlfriend back to show me?"

When Wei Jiang heard his father mention his girlfriend, his enthusiasm for rebuilding the house was instantly extinguished.

"Why is there such a rush for a girlfriend? I'm still young and have plenty of time."

Wei Jiang really had no interest in finding a girlfriend.

Although he often watches videos of young ladies doing something borderline sexy on the Internet, Wei Jiang feels it is too much trouble to actually find a girlfriend.

You can live freely by yourself, why bother to find someone to serve you.

"Just wait a few years and see if you are in a hurry."

Wei Jiang had no mood to argue with his father about this matter. He just stared blankly at the rain water flowing in the yard.

Wei Jiang had no intention of telling his father about the 200 billion transaction with BYD.

The old man has probably never come into contact with such a huge amount of money in his life, and telling him would only add to his troubles.

Moreover, Wei Jiang did not plan to withdraw the 200 billion all at once.

To be honest, he himself doesn't know how to spend such a large sum of money.

Wei Jiang had no intention of buying a house.

Wei Jiang is very satisfied with the surrounding environment of this small courtyard in Xiafang Village, except for the old facilities.

When buying a car, what car can compare to your own Wuling?

For Wei Jiang, this money provides him with more of a sense of security.

Wei Jiang couldn't help but get excited when he thought about contacting BYD's Wang Chuanfu again tonight.

Wei Jiang’s Bitcoin trading account had already been prepared, just waiting for BYD to transfer the Bitcoin assets into it.

Regarding rebuilding the house and his girlfriend, the father and son had different opinions. Wei Jiang chose to keep his head down and continue browsing his phone in silence.

"The sales data of new energy vehicles for the fourth week of September is released, and Tesla ranks first with 9 sales!"

"Flowerway Smart and Ideal ranked second and third, with sales down 9% and 11% respectively compared to last week."

This is the latest update released by Dongda Tietou on the social platform, and the other team collected the information through their own channels.

"The L3 autonomous driving license has been confirmed by relevant departments. Judging from the market sales in the past month, autonomous driving capabilities are becoming a key consideration for consumers when purchasing new energy vehicles."

"The continued silence of domestic brands over the past period of time has obviously made consumers think that Tesla's FSD technology has more advantages."

Wei Jiang has nothing to do every day and lives in a small courtyard. The only way for him to get information from the outside world is through the Internet.

Wei Jiang pays attention to every piece of information released by the Dongda Tietou team.

Compared with the decline of domestic automobile brands revealed in the information released by Dongda Tietou, Wei Jiang is more concerned about another piece of news.

The information comes from Huawei Intelligent Driving. Huawei has decided to hold a major technology launch conference the day after tomorrow, which is National Day.

This was all the information Wei Jiang could search on the Internet; he could not find any actual content of the press conference.

"The National Day launch event of Huawei Smart Travel may be the key to Huawei Smart Travel's brand counterattack. Everyone can pay more attention to it."

When Wei Jiang saw the last sentence of Dongda Tietou’s post, he immediately expressed his recognition of Dongda Tietou’s professionalism.

Wei Jiang had some guesses about the content of Huawei Zhixing’s press conference, but he was not completely sure.

This press conference was held less than a month after his last visit to Shangdu. Wei Jiang was not sure whether Huawei Zhixing could implement the technology he shared in such a short time.

After liking Dongda Tietou’s post, Wei Jiang put away his phone and stood up.

"I'm going to make dinner, Dad, what do you want to eat?"

Wei Yonghe leaned back in the recliner with a thin blanket covering his legs.

"You can do whatever you want."

"Every day I just sleep and eat, and I just need to eat enough to survive."

Wei Jiang certainly would not deal with it casually. The three meals a day were the most enjoyable part of his leisurely life.

More than half an hour later, two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, were placed on the small table for the two of them.

In the evening, it was still drizzling, and Wei Jiang got in his Wuling and left the yard.

When the Wuling mini was driving along a small road, Wei Jiang looked out of the window.

Wei Jiang still remembers clearly what happened here a week ago.

After a week, the car that sank to the bottom of the river was not found.

The subsequent investigation into the accident has been completed. Based on the registration information of the vehicles involved and police visits, the list of victims was quickly confirmed.

One of them was the mechanic of Huaqiang Auto Repair, and the other was the mechanic’s cellmate.

The footage captured by cameras on the highway showed that the driver was wearing a mask before the car rushed into the river. Considering the identities and backgrounds of the two victims, the police conducted a wide range of investigations.

According to the news reports, Zhang Huaqiang, who had a guilty conscience, did not escape police questioning, and the report included the results of the questioning of the boss of Huaqiang Auto Repair.

Judging from the reports, Zhang Huaqiang must have concealed key information and thus evaded police pursuit.

As of now, there is still no final conclusion to this traffic accident.

Wei Jiang was happy to see this result, but he had no intention of letting Zhang Huaqiang go.

Due to the continued attention from all sides and the fact that Wei Jiang himself did not have a good plan, he did not choose to act rashly.

Time is on his side, and he believes that Zhang Huaqiang must be more panicked than him now.

Two lives were lost, and Zhang Huaqiang didn't even know what happened that night.

Wei Jiang chose to let the other party experience this fear of the unknown for a while longer.

The Wuling mini successfully drove across the highway to the muddy path on the river bank. Wei Jiang got out of the car holding an umbrella and skillfully connected the vehicle to the charging port of the submersible that had surfaced.

Under the cover of night, the raindrops hitting the water plants made a slight sound.

After getting into the car, Wei Jiang noticed that the time he had agreed with the BYD boatman was approaching.

Wei Jiang was filled with anticipation at the thought that he would soon become a billionaire.

Listening to music, all the lights of Wuling were turned off, and the dark night perfectly concealed the body of Wuling.

Beep beep beep ~

Wei Jiang opened his eyes and turned off the alarm on his phone.

"Contact BYD Wang the boatman."

"Analog signal dialing."

Just as Wei Jiang expected, someone was waiting for Wei Jiang's call.

"Good evening, Ms. Red Star."

Wei Jiang could easily discern the excitement in the boatman's voice, and then greeted him warmly.

"Mr. Wang, good evening."

"Now you should be willing to pay, right?"

As soon as Wei Jiang finished speaking, Wang Chuanfu's voice immediately rose several degrees and he responded excitedly:
"Ms. Red Star, I admire your achievements in battery technology!" "This is a technology that can change the world. This technology will directly promote the world's energy transformation!"

"Madam, I must emphasize that people all over the world should thank you!"

“The era of cheap and clean electric vehicles has officially arrived!”

"For this technology alone, you even deserve a Nobel Prize in Chemistry!"

After hearing these praises, Wei Jiang smiled. He certainly understood that everything Wang Chuanfu said would definitely come true.

Lithium cluster reduction technology can greatly reduce the cost of electricity storage, which is directly related to all aspects of the electric energy industry.

"Not really. I only export technology. It's up to entrepreneurs like you to really change the world."

Wei Jiang said that these are not just commercial boasting. In his opinion, BYD is really doing it with all its heart and is a company that truly takes action.

"Thank you ma'am for your recognition."

"In the past week, the company team has intensively tested the lithium crystal cluster reduction technology. As you said, 90% of the power storage capacity has been restored!"

"Ma'am, I must admit that BYD got a great deal on this deal! Thank you for choosing BYD."

Wei Jiang was not surprised at all by BYD’s test results.

He can personally complete the assembly of the restorer by purchasing equipment. For a large enterprise like BYD, the density and accuracy of tests performed in a week must be far greater than Wei Jiang.

Compared with the skills he traded away, Wei Jiang was now caught up in selfish emotions.

200 billion! It’s almost there!
"As long as Mr. Wang can make good use of technology, I will be satisfied."

"Since it's a deal, I just want to see what I deserve."

"I'm sorry to embarrass you, I'm a poor guy and I only want money now."

Hearing Wei Jiang's words, Wang Chuanfu laughed a few times before saying:
"Ma'am, please rest assured that BYD has already raised 200 billion in cash, but..."

Wei Jiang couldn't help licking his lips when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard Wang Chuanfu's subsequent turn, his expression immediately changed and he asked:

"It's better not to get into trouble, Mr. Wang. This is very bad."

"No, no, no, Ms. Red Star, nothing has changed."

“I would say that a one-time purchase of such a large amount of Bitcoin would cause the price of Bitcoin to rise.”

“Once the Bitcoin is transferred to you, if the price of Bitcoin falls, you will suffer a considerable loss.”

Hearing the unhappiness in Wei Jiang's words, Wang the Boatman hurried to explain.

Having just accepted such a generous gift, he didn't want any misunderstandings to arise between them.

Wei Jiang looked thoughtful and looked out the car window.

If what Wang Chuanfu said was true, the other party was really thinking about him.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, Mr. Wang."

"Since you're so considerate of me, I can't be ungrateful."

"How about this, for the Bitcoin transaction, I agree that BYD will pay in four installments, once a month."

"This will ensure that my 200 billion will not be discounted, and it will also prevent BYD from spending a large amount of cash at one time, which will affect the company's operations."

Believing that BYD would not default on its debt and also having confidence in himself, Wei Jiang chose to spread the transaction amount over a long period of time.

"Ms. Red Star, thank you for your understanding."

"Please rest assured, I guarantee with my personal integrity and BYD's decades of reputation that all 4 billion worth of bitcoins will be transferred to your account within four months."

“The first batch of 50 billion worth of bitcoins will appear in your account in one hour.”

Wei Jiang was tolerant and Wang Chuanfu was sincere, so the transaction went quite smoothly.

After informing the other party of the address of his newly opened empty Bitcoin wallet, Wei Jiang did not hang up the phone in a hurry.

"Mr. Wang, I have something to think about, and I think I can only trouble you."

As soon as Wei Jiang finished his request, Wang Chuanfu responded without any hesitation.

"Please tell me, it's my pleasure to help you."

"You're welcome. Mr. Wang, as a domestic automobile giant, do you know any senior military officials or senior military research institute officials?"

When Wang Chuanfu, who was sitting alone in the office, heard the Red Star question, he was stunned.

military?

This Red Star actually wants to contact the military?
Why did she contact the military?
A mysterious hacker who keeps his personal information extremely confidential wants to contact the military.

Wang Chuanfu was a little confused for a moment, but when he looked down and saw the technical review document with the company's confidential logo on the desk, he suddenly remembered the autonomous driving technology that the company was working hard to tackle.

Technology transfer again?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Wang Chuanfu believed that he was absolutely right!

What surprised him was that Red Star not only had cutting-edge civilian technology, but was also involved in military technology!

"Excuse me, what do you want to do by contacting the military?"

Even though he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, Wang the boatman was still filled with curiosity.

"I want to pass on something to them. As a Southeast University student, it is my duty to contribute to the country."

as predicted!

The guess was true. Wang Chuanfu was shocked and felt even more mysterious about Hong Xing's identity. Under the layers of fog, what kind of person was he?

What kind of amazing talent could have developed so many heavyweight technological achievements?
Maybe Red Star is not just one person, but a team?
"Ma'am, I have never met with senior military officials, but I have met with technical experts from several research institutes. Do you think that's okay?"

"Of course, Mr. Wang, do you have the contact information of these technical experts?"

Wei Jiang originally wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that Wang Chuanfu actually had contact with some people in the military system.

“Yes, after BYD developed its blade battery technology, the company had technical exchanges with military battery technicians.”

As long as they were military personnel, Wei Jiang would certainly not refuse. Otherwise, he would be in the dark and continue to ask blindly.

Based on Wang Chuanfu's oral narration, Wei Jiang recorded the contact information.

"That's it. I'll check my Bitcoin wallet in an hour. Don't let me down, Mr. Wang. Bye."

After hanging up the call, Wei Jiang looked at the information recorded on his mobile phone.

Yang Xiangfeng, senior R&D engineer at a high-energy battery research institute of Southeast University.

With a senior professional title, this engineer named Yang Xiangfeng should be able to get in touch with the real top brass of the military, right?

Wuling mini and Manta ray submersible were enhanced a total of 4 times, and Wei Jiang obtained 4 technologies.

Lithium cluster reduction technology, L4 autonomous driving technology, high-energy laser generator, and magnetohydrodynamic thruster.

Wei Jiang has shared the first two items through the Red Star account. Next, we will see how the two technologies can truly change the corresponding industries of Dongda University and drive industrial development.

Wei Jiang believes that changes will come soon, and the beneficiaries will not only be practitioners, but everyone at Dongda will benefit indirectly.

This is also the reason why he named the vest Red Star.

Even an incompetent man can still have the ambition to serve his country, let alone Wei Jiang who holds the enhanced panel.

As for the remaining two technologies, the high-energy laser generator reaches the weapon level, and the magnetohydrodynamic propulsion is suitable for submarine propulsion. It is estimated that no private enterprise in Dongda can take on these two technologies.

Without rushing to contact the military technicians, Wei Jiang got out of the car and walked to the shore.

A red panel appeared in front of him. After the Manta Ray submersible had been sailing for some time, the reinforcement mission had finally been pushed forward to the final stage.

[Enhanced mission: Navigate 500km underwater, current mission progress 487km/500km.]

It was drizzling and thick clouds in the night sky obscured the moonlight and stars. Tonight was the perfect time for the submersible to strengthen.

Seeing on his mobile phone that the remaining battery power of the submersible was 49%, Wei Jiang put away the charging cable and jumped to the top of the submersible in one step.

I opened the cockpit and leaned in. In the darkness, ripples appeared on the surface of the river and the Manta Ray submersible sank quickly into the river like a ghost.
