My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 522: Leaping Accident
The uproar at the welfare home has gradually come to an end, but another drama on the Internet is becoming more and more intense.

"Hey! Is this video fake? Please, old driver in the driver's seat, photoshop it back for me."

"Level 4 fully autonomous driving? Okay, I admit that I was fooled by the clickbait headlines..."

"This effect is too fake, isn't it? This smoothness and silky feeling are totally beyond the reach of those rigid systems on the market today. There's no difference at all from real-life driving!"

"That's right. With this angle of turning and this deceleration to avoid danger, you can't drive like this without a ten-year driving experience!"

“I have experienced Tesla’s most advanced Autopilot 3.0, which is already very impressive. It requires almost no intervention on simple roads.

But compared to this one, the actual effect is not much different, it's simply a generation gap!"

"The fake video is still so popular? Did they hire some trolls?"

"Yeah, isn't it just a preset route to avoid all obstacles? I think I can do it too."

"That's right. Everyone can program. Isn't it a bit too much to hire extras? How big of a director would invest so much?"

"If you want to act, then act. At least remember to install the big radar bump on the head. Who doesn't know that this is a standard feature of autonomous driving?

You have omitted the key props for this bare car, which is unprofessional! Bad review! "

"I'm a little dazzled. Netizens, please help me find where the company logo is printed on this camouflage car. Let me know which company made such a good PPT. I will definitely find their creative director!"

"I'm familiar with this place. It seems to be the autonomous driving test base in Beijing. I led a team there two months ago.

Isn't it said to be fully enclosed? How come it also has the function of a movie studio?"

"Come on, how could a fake video have such high popularity? Look at the comments a few hundred pages ago. Someone revealed that this is a real test video from a certain factory..."

"No way, Tesla's FSD technology has made another breakthrough?"

"No, no. Tesla's stock price has been falling in recent days, so this can basically be ruled out."

"Uh... buddy, you really have a unique perspective. But what you said does make sense. Capital's sense of smell is not wrong. Could it be Baidu?"

"Well, it's quite possible. After all, Baidu is one of the first players to enter the game, and the amount of money invested is even greater. It takes ten years to sharpen a sword. If we calculate the time, the iron rod should be sharpened into a needle, right?"

“Haha! I’m an insider, but unfortunately it’s not Baidu’s car. The person in charge of their intelligent driving business group held an emergency meeting overnight these two days, and his face looked very grim.

It is true that it takes ten years to sharpen a sword, but unfortunately, despite the sparks flying from the sharpening, it is still a mallet..."

“But…if it weren’t for these two big guys, I haven’t heard of any domestic company that has such strength in autonomous driving technology?
There are only a few giants in China that have this kind of R&D capability... Could it be that the Chrysanthemum Factory secretly went undercover?"

"No way! Aren't they working on optical chips? How can they spare the energy to fight now? And they said they won't build cars, right?"

"Hmm! I think it's possible. They said they won't build cars, but they didn't say they won't build cars partially, right?"

"Uh... it's the style of the Chrysanthemum Factory..."

"Hey! Did you notice that this car... doesn't seem to have side mirrors?"

"Rearview mirrors are for people to see. Robots are not considered people, that's fine."

"Tsk, in my opinion, it's just a fake video to attract attention. I guess it's just another car company trying to hype it up in order to boost its stock price."

"No... I'm from the Ministry of Transport. A while ago, the higher-ups suddenly asked us to speed up the formulation and release of the L4 self-driving standard. I've been very busy these days. I guess I've found the reason..."

"Hiss~ No way?"

"That makes me excited. Tell me, which company is so brave? Others are built according to the standards, but this car is forced to meet the standards?"

"Hey! I have inside information. This car is from Aidou New Energy, but as for the driving system... I don't need to tell you, you should know who it is, right?"

"You mean Bai Yeji? That's impossible?"

"Is it Bai Yeji who developed Bajie? Does that mean... Bajie was the one driving?"

"Hahaha! What a rich imagination! If pigs can drive cars, will they let them fly planes next?"

"Um... I just asked Bajie specifically, and he said he just got his driver's license..."

"Uh... no way? Is this some kind of cryptic hint?"

"..."

……

There are many different opinions on the Internet, and expert bloggers are arguing fiercely about whether the video is fake.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. With more and more evidence and witnesses coming forward, the news that Bai Yeji has made a major breakthrough in autonomous driving technology has become increasingly certain.

Before the technology industry could react, capital had already taken the lead.

The moat was broken, and the stock price of Tesla, the leader in self-driving cars, was beaten to the ground. Investors on the other side of the ocean were completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

On the other hand, the three companies, Wei, Xiaoli, and Li Auto, which have just announced that they may join the "Tianxuan Smart Selection" in-vehicle intelligent control solution and are expected to be equipped with the latest Baiyeji autonomous driving system and Bajie voice assistant, have become a hot spot for speculation...

The CEOs of the three car companies were also confused.

We just wanted to take advantage of Bajie's popularity, but we didn't expect that he got a driver's license and his value soared in the blink of an eye. This popularity is so hot...

Originally, they thought that a 30% increase in valuation before listing would be enough, but judging by the current trend... it might have to double!

Some people are ecstatic because they made the right bet, but some people are very upset...

Xu's Automotive.

The newly-listed company was packed with visitors, but then all the people who were aiming at them ran to Aidou New Energy for an interview...

Even Wei Xiaoli, who were adopted midway, are in great demand. As Bai Yeji's "own son", idol New Energy naturally received the highest level of attention.

Now the mysterious test car has caused a sensation in the technology circle, and the first-hand information is the absolute traffic password.

Even reporters from outside the province got wind of the news, not to mention the local media.

Just a test video completely suppressed the popularity that Xu's company had created with great difficulty in entering the car manufacturing field...

Unlike first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, which have a large number of leading car companies, Jiangsu Province lacks its own strong brands in the field of car manufacturing. Instead, the supporting industries of mechanical and electronic parts are quite mature, and the money earned is hard-earned money from OEM.

So when Hu Yonghua pulled over an Aido New Energy car production line, it became a big hit.

Only by establishing their own local brands can they take over the bulk of the profits at the terminal and significantly increase the amount of tax and chicken fart.

Therefore, on the day when Xu's Automobile was established, even Cardinal Hong Tianfang came in person to cut the ribbon and congratulate in order to show his authority.

In private, he received a lot of preferential treatment and support, which shows that he has high hopes for Xu's move this time and has already regarded this car company as his expected performance.

Look, what you, Hu Yonghua, can do, I, Hong Tianfang, can also do easily!
However, Xu Jinsong had just invested tens of billions of dollars and was preparing to make great plans to avenge his previous shame, but he was hit on the head with a heavy blow.

"Wow~"

Xu Jinsong's face turned pale as he swept away a pile of design drawings on the table, and the drawings immediately scattered all over the floor.

There were pictures of stylish cars on it...

"Not enough! This effect is far from enough, send it back and redo it!"

Because it was an acquired existing car company, although Xu's Automobile was just established, it already has its own car manufacturing plan, and the completion rate is not low.

Xu Jinsong has seen the design drawings of the new car, and it is basically following the same path as NIO, Xiaopeng and Li Auto.

They all focus on new energy, fashion and intelligence.

Originally, in his opinion, with the support of these elements, their new car was already ahead of many traditional car companies. Even if it could not sell well, it could still open up the market. He was full of confidence at the time.

However, if Bai Yeji doesn't make a move, it's fine, but once he does, it's a king bomb!

Even though he didn't have a deep understanding of the automotive industry, he understood that once such technology was put into practice, it would be basically the same as overturning a table.

Regardless of whether you are called new energy or new power, at this moment, you will all be classified as a backward "traditional car company"...

The electric car empire that Tesla built in just a few years is a living example of this!

What? Want to start a price war?
That is assuming there is no huge generation gap.

It's like now that we have LCD HD, who would still buy a plasma TV?

No matter how low your price is, you will eventually be eliminated by the market due to outdated technology...

"Please calm down, Mr. Xu. I will ask the design department to continue to optimize the plan."

While picking up the scattered drawings, Cui Jizhong carefully comforted the angry Xu Jinsong.

He naturally knew that Xu Jinsong didn't really think that redesigning the plan would be of any use, but only by venting in this way could he relieve the huge pressure...

Bai Yeji's heavy blow completely disrupted Xu Group's car manufacturing plan.

Making cars is not just an impulsive act to deal with Gao Yuan and snipe Aidou New Energy, but a key part of Xu's transformation strategy.

Real estate is already at the end of its rope.

While ordinary people are still scrambling to get a school district house, the seemingly prosperous real estate developers are the first to feel the cold wind blowing...

Some cunning ones have already begun to transfer assets quietly.

There are also those who are unwilling to give up and are desperately trying to make a last-ditch effort to transform themselves.

Properties, shopping malls, elderly care, long-term rental apartments...even building buildings and raising pigs have become new investment directions for real estate tycoons.

This time, Xu’s company has placed its bets on the new energy track!

And because of the strong support of Gao Sheng, the biggest funding problem was solved much earlier than originally planned.

If such a strategic plan had not been in place long ago, the board of directors of the Xu Group would not have allowed Xu Jinsong to act recklessly.

On the point that transformation was necessary, even Xu Boli, who had a feud with Xu Jinsong, voted in favor.

"Mr. Xu, actually the matter has not been concluded yet. It's just a video. The other party may not really have this technical capability..." Cui Jizhong said carefully.

However, Xu Jinsong was not comforted at all.

They were all well-informed business elites, so he could roughly find out whether Bai Yeji's autonomous driving system was genuine or not.

Otherwise, those hyena-like capitalists would not have reacted so violently in advance at the first sign of smelling something fishy.

He now came to his senses and understood why even China Aviation Industry Corporation wanted to cooperate with Bai Yeji.

The other party’s autonomous driving technology must have alarmed the top management and was regarded as “specialized, sophisticated and innovative”…

He really regrets it now.

I thought that the idol New Energy, who had luckily revived with the gimmick of "Bajie", would be Gao Yuan's weak spot, and if they started fighting, it would be a game where she would be crushed by funds.

Who would have thought that the other party doesn't play the capital game with you at all.

You compete with her in funding, she competes with you in technology...

This is not a weak point at all, I have simply hit a wall!
After years of ups and downs in the business world, although Xu Jinsong hates Gao Yuan, he is by no means a brainless and reckless man.

Gao Sheng wanted to use him to deal with Gao Yuan and get Bai Ye Ji. Why didn't he want to use Gao Sheng's financial support to complete the crucial industrial transformation of Xu Group?
Xu Jinsong can allow Xu Automobile to suffer long-term losses, after all, Gao Sheng is there to share the pressure.

But he couldn't allow Xu's Automobile to be eliminated by the market right after its establishment!

Even if it really falls...

At least you have to hold on until you go public and raise money!
If Xu's Automobile fails before it goes public, the billions of initial investment will be wasted. Such a loss will even cause serious damage to the Xu Group.

Needless to say, his career as CEO has basically come to an end...

"Damn it! It's fine with Changqing Biotechnology, but how come she can even make a technological breakthrough in building a car? This is totally unscientific!"

Xu Jinsong roared in his heart.

Why? Why can you do one thing well, but I can't do anything else?
In fact, Changqing Bio was once one of the Xu Group's attempts at transformation.

However, the domestic biomedical sector is not something that a layman like you who works in architecture can easily develop. In the end, it was turned into a mess, and was thrown to Gao Yuan as a waste.

Who would have thought that Gao Yuan seemed to be able to turn everything into gold, from Changqing Biotechnology, Cretaceous... to today's Aidou New Energy.

They are all low-quality assets on the verge of bankruptcy, but in her hands they will come back to life and be reborn...

You succeeded in building the company that I couldn’t, and the project I just wanted to work on hasn’t even been completed yet... and you’ve already taken off?

Looking at the several major industries under its current control, almost all of them are considered by the outside world to be future unicorns with huge development potential.

The Xu Group's transformation has just begun, but they have already become what the Xu Group wants to be...

"Technology! Technology! Where on earth did the other party get the technology?!"

Xu Jinsong's eyes were almost red with envy.

At this time, the same question as him was shared by Mr. Nagy, the CIA director on the other side of the ocean...

……

"Investigate! Investigate for me! You must find out the source of the other party's technology!"

Chief Naji roared.

He didn't know how many times he had roared this month. It seemed that he had never had a smooth life since taking office.

I went to the Black Palace a few times, and either I had to make self-criticism or I was trained like a dog...

It would be fine if the carefully planned hacker war ended in failure, but now we have optical chips first and then autonomous driving.

The key point is that he, the head of intelligence, didn't even receive any news about it beforehand!

The gentlemen in Congress all thought that they had failed in their duties, but he thought it was because of his Mercury retrograde...

The technological breakthroughs in China during this period are like an unstoppable high-pressure water pipe. If you press this, that will spray out. If you press that, the whole pipe will tend to burst...

Moreover, since you didn't make a breakthrough earlier or later, are you waiting for me to take office so that we can have a collective breakthrough?
How much hatred and resentment?
Hey guys, we are still stuck with you on circuit chips, why don't you quickly make me an optical path chip.

We were just about to take the world by storm with our newly developed L3 self-driving system, and you suddenly came up with L4?

I know that scientific research and development has a certain degree of randomness.

But it can't be such a coincidence again and again, right?

Well, it's okay if it's just a coincidence, but look at the technological gap...

Is this a random leap for you?!
Is this reasonable?

Is this scientific?

This is so fucking outrageous!
