My autobiography cannot be a tragedy

Chapter 562 Eight Beans
The press conference, front row VIP seats.

"Boss Yu, long time no see, your Chrysanthemum Factory has been very popular recently!

Before I left, I was thinking about visiting you one day and asking you for a few "optical chips" to do some research.

You don't know, I went out and asked around, and the black market is selling it for 10 yuan a piece, and there's still no demand for it, it's too outrageous!"

"Boss Liu, what are you talking about? If you ask me, it's just a matter of a phone call.

Although we are still in the production ramp-up stage and have not yet released them to the public, I will give you a few pieces even if I am stingy!"

"Mr. Yu is so generous! It's settled then!"

"Of course! But Mr. Liu, your Jingdong logistics business has been booming recently. Are you interested in the chip industry as well?"

"Originally, I was quite interested, but you threw a bucket of cold water on me. You said that even if we were given ten years, we might not be able to manufacture this chip.

If we enter the market now, we would be like a birthday man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long!

I just want to study the application scenarios of your chip and see if our smart logistics can be integrated with Mr. Yu’s.

If it's appropriate, Mr. Yu, you have to leave some production capacity for me."

"Haha! Sure thing."

The two business tycoons were chatting, and the surrounding venue gradually became quiet. Then two people slowly walked out of the stage.

Mr. Bao strode with his head held high and Hu Yifei was in high spirits.

As soon as he appeared, he was immediately attracted by a burst of "Click! Click!" shutter flashes.

Looking at the two people who are completely different now, Mr. Yu felt a little emotional.

"After seeing each other in Su City, I really saw people with new eyes after three days of separation! I never expected that Mr. Bao and Mr. Hu would have such achievements today."

The flashes of the cameras on the stage were just like the revolving lights in the KTV box that day.

This moment is just like that moment...

It's just that the person who sets the stage for the show has changed the protagonist.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu couldn't help but sigh.

I remember when we first met, Mr. Bao was just a poor guy on the verge of bankruptcy who was looking for investment everywhere.

Hu Yifei is an unknown little entrepreneur just starting out.

At that time, they all regarded the party as an ordinary business social event.

However, who could have imagined that, looking back now, it was actually a high-end game in which everyone was the boss.

Today, the companies owned by Mr. Bao and Hu Yifei are rising like comets and have long been famous both at home and abroad.

The status and position of the two now have reached the point where they can be on equal footing with them.

This life experience is really incredible...

"Yes, I heard that Mr. Qu also made a lot of money from the movie "Speeding Life", and his investment career has reached a new level.

Thinking about it now, it seemed that after that party, each of us present had our own opportunities.

I didn’t believe in Feng Shui and physiognomy before, but now…”

I couldn't help but imagine a young man in my mind.

"Boss Yu, do you think there are people who can really read faces, or even... help people change their fate?"

"Uh……"

Mr. Yu was stunned, and thought of his own "cooking oil over a raging fire" look, looking a little embarrassed.

Hey, hey, that was just an excuse for them to remind us. How could they have fooled a big shot like you?

"Wait! So your 'bright east, bright west' peach blossom disaster is really..."

"Ahem!" Mr. Liu quickly interrupted the other party.

"Well... I don't know if Brother Meng is coming today."

"Why, do you want someone to tell your fortune again?"

Mr. Liu ignored the other party's teasing. "Aren't you curious? Don't you want to learn more about this extraordinary person?"

"I'm curious! I also want to know more about it!" Mr. Yu spread his hands helplessly.

"But they have blocked me on their Moments, clearly they don't want me to know..."

"Uh..." Silence for two seconds.

"Me too……"

The two looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

At this time, Mr. Bao on the stage also picked up the microphone...

The lights on the venue dimmed and the stage lights came on, and Mr. Bao instantly became the focus of the audience.

"Welcome everyone to the joint press conference of Baiyeji and Aidou New Energy. Thank you XXX..."

After a routine opening speech, Mr. Bao immediately got to the point.

"Perhaps some of our media friends have heard the news. Today we are going to release a groundbreaking new energy vehicle product..."

The whole place immediately quieted down a few decibels again, and everyone listened attentively.

After a pause, Mr. Bao looked at the crowd of guests below the podium.

Those sitting in the front row are either business representatives from well-known domestic and foreign technology companies, or prominent politicians in Suzhou.

If you are not one of the Fortune 500, you can’t even squeeze into the first three rows of seats.

Standing at the center of the world stage for the first time, Mr. Bao was filled with emotion.

Who would have thought that he would be able to achieve what he has today one day...

Speaking of today's new product launch, the attention it has attracted in recent times is no less than that of the optical chip "A" that the Ju factory just quietly announced not long ago.

Not only because this is a joint press conference of two star companies, Baiyeji and Aidu New Energy.

What’s more important is...it is said that the rumored L4-level high-end intelligent driving model will also be unveiled at this press conference!

The significance behind L4 advanced intelligent driving cannot be underestimated by any country or company with a little strategic vision.

That not only represents a super emerging industrial chain worth over one trillion dollars.

It is also an important part of future technological hegemony!
Not many people believed it at the beginning, after all, the technological leap was too big.

Tesla, the leader in the industry, has only reached L3.5. How dare you in China, where a bunch of people with L2.5 claim they have reached L4?
However, with the Ministry of Transport suddenly announcing the emergency implementation of the "L4 self-driving standard trial version" without any warning, and the abnormal fluctuations in Tesla's stock price outside, ordinary people finally reacted...

This may not be groundless.

Combined with various rumors, all signs indicate that the two companies seem to be really going to do something big this time!

Many colleagues in the new energy sector present here looked solemn.

Although they hoped that this was just a common pre-IPO hype among domestic companies, those who had watched the video and heard the news were worried.

It is rumored that the two companies achieved leapfrog technological breakthroughs because of the talent and technical support from the Ju Factory.

The reason, of course, is that they are afraid of attracting attention again...

And today, Mr. Yu, who was sitting in the front row of the VIP seats, made everyone speculate...

As everyone looked at him with different thoughts, Mr. Bao continued.

“As you all know, the theme of our last new car launch was ‘Talking Car’.

Through Bajie, we have given the car the ability to speak, opened up the human-computer interaction link, and allowed the car to communicate with us like a person.

However, this is far from enough.

A car is not only a means of transportation, but also a mobile intelligent interactive platform.

As for food, clothing, housing and transportation, the word "transportation" accounts for a quarter of our social activities. We are committed to providing a perfect smart travel solution.

Let cars become people’s true travel partners!
It can take us to see poetry and distant places, but it can also help us deal with the present reality..."

After saying that, Mr. Bao picked up his mobile phone and spoke into it.

"Bajie, please help me drive my car over here."

[OK, please wait! ]

The next moment, the big screen behind Mr. Bao suddenly lit up.

Everyone looked closely and saw various vehicles parked in parking spaces and several thick load-bearing pillars.

"This... seems to be an underground parking lot?"

Everyone looked at the environment on the screen, and it was indeed an underground parking lot.

Then, the picture suddenly moved, moving forward at a slight speed, turning at a constant speed... and then passing by parked cars on both sides, the picture continued to move forward along the aisle of the parking lot.

The speed is not slow, but the field of view is very stable.

"Is this... a dashcam image?"

Someone realized that there was no one taking the photo, it was clearly the footage from the car's recorder.

Combined with what Mr. Bao just said on the phone...

"Speaking of this parking lot...it seems to be the underground parking lot of Yida Plaza in Suzhou City?"

"That's right, I also remembered this environment layout. I go here often, so I won't make a mistake!"

"It's obviously a new car launch, why did Mr. Bao show us the driving records in the parking lot?"

"Um... guess whether there is a driver in this car..."

"..."

"Hiss~ Remote summon! This must be a remote summon!"

“‘Get off the car and the car will leave, people will walk and the car will arrive’! Could it be that they have really mastered the fourth generation of autonomous valet parking technology?”

Faced with everyone's shocked whispers, Mr. Bao did not answer their questions. He just smiled and waited quietly.

At this time, the vehicle had already followed the exit instructions, turned a few corners and arrived at the parking lot gate.

A barrier bar blocked the vehicles' path.

"Poof! The intelligent driving system hits a paid parking lot. What should we do?"

"The other party's pretense...isn't it going to fail?"

"Here it comes, the news is here! Aim at Mr. Bao's emoji!"

However, the next moment, there was no car rollover scene as expected.

A white box suddenly appeared in the video, locking onto the payment QR code pasted at the gate, and then zooming in.

[Ding~You can use Zhifubao to pay the parking fee of 10 yuan without password~]

A reminder came from Mr. Bao’s mobile phone at the right time.

Then the horizontal bar on the screen lifted up...

"Fuck! I thought this was a dash cam, but it turns out it has a code scanning function?"

"Technically, it's not difficult. It's just camera lock plus visual analysis plus automatic payment. However, integrating this function into the driving monitoring system...

I always think it’s very cool! ”

"Stop talking. Look! There's a car coming from the opposite direction. The entrance is so narrow. Can you avoid it?"

"Oh! It avoided the obstacle perfectly, and the speed was very stable. There was no fear of stopping the car to avoid the obstacle like a novice."

"I'm out. Sure enough, this is the parking lot of Yida Plaza. I can already see the iconic main building of the mall!"

"It is now heading towards Yingbin Road. It is heading in our direction. It should have been located by GPS."

"Remote summoning... Awesome!"

“It seems so. Since it is called L4 advanced intelligent driving, the fourth generation of autonomous parking is naturally a piece of cake. The other party must be demonstrating this function.

I just don’t know if this is a recorded video or a live broadcast…”

"It's a live broadcast. The picture just passed by a clock tower, which is exactly the same as the current time!"

"Uh... I looked at the map. It's a good ten kilometers away from here. Can we get a car there?"

"The key is that this is a busy city center, famous for its crowded traffic...

There are several congested sections between the two places, and there is also an entrance to a tourist attraction with a large number of tourists..."

"This Mr. Bao is really not afraid of failure... Should we say that he is skilled and brave or..."

"Looking at the reactions of the pedestrians around, many people are taking pictures with their phones. I'm really curious about what this new car looks like."

"That's right, the first-person perspective is harmful, at least give us a drone aerial view!"

Amid the discussions, the video continued to move forward.

The vehicle uses skilled driving skills to wait for traffic lights, give way to pedestrians, slow down and avoid vehicles...

In addition to the guests at the press conference, public channels on the Internet are also synchronizing the images at this moment through on-site broadcasting equipment.

Netizens who were watching the live broadcast were watching intently how the other party was coping with the constant flow of cars and people, and gradually felt it was outrageous...

"Hey, hey! Are you sure it's not an experienced driver in there? Does he know about tidal channels?"

"I've been driving for five years, but why do I feel like it drives better than me?"

"It can still drive at such a high speed and respond well in a dense crowd. If there was no one in the driver's seat, I would eat all four tires on live broadcast!"

"Uh... 'Question Everything' classmate, right? I took a screenshot."

"He actually questioned Bai Yeji's technical ability. I'm afraid this person has never used Bajie...

But my four tires are new, how about I lend you the spare tire I just replaced?"

"Then I'll donate one too. No money required. I'll treat you!"

"Wait for the food show~"

The silly comments on the Internet are gradually becoming outrageous...

……

No matter how noisy the outside world is, ten minutes later...

As the two arc-shaped headlights suddenly lit up, a car shadow followed the passage reserved by the staff and finally slowly stopped beside Mr. Bao...

Throughout the entire process, exclamations were heard one after another at the press conference.

"Hey! They're really here!"

"I'm nearsighted, please help me check if there is anyone in the driver's seat."

With the help of the bright spotlight, everyone finally saw the entire picture of the car.

The streamlined and elegant body, the luxurious and restrained front face design, and the simple and elegant through-type taillights are highly recognizable when lit.

With the black metal spokes that run through the body and the sharp headlights, the whole car exudes a strong sense of technology.

Viewed from the side, the red and black painted body looks radiant, stylish and dynamic, like a work of art.

Judging from the appearance alone, this car is enough to kill most luxury car designs in seconds and make people fall in love with it at first sight.

"Click, click!" The flash lights suddenly became more frequent!

"Clap, clap, clap!" Thunderous applause broke out at the scene.

"Really... no one..."

Through the transparent car window, everyone finally saw the cab... and it was indeed empty.

The frozen image on the screen happened to be the direction the front of the car was facing, that is, the crowd at the press conference...

One shot to the end!
From leaving the parking lot to entering the venue, it was a full ten minutes in one shot!
Aido New Energy used such a unique function demonstration to show the amazing performance of high-end self-driving in front of everyone without any frills.

All doubts and speculations turned into amazement at this moment!
Everyone had different expressions.

Some were clapping and cheering excitedly, some were making phone calls with serious faces, and some were whispering to each other with grim faces. It was a real mix of all kinds of people.

"Fuck! They really did it! China...actually took the lead and developed L4-level advanced intelligent driving?"

"Bai Yeji is awesome!"

"I want one! My husband won't have to worry about me getting lost while shopping anymore!"

"This design is also very eye-catching... It seems that Mr. Bao has spent a lot of money on it!"

"My Maserati suddenly loses its appeal."

“It’s over, Mr. Bao, you’ve successfully made the car look like I can’t afford it!

With this appearance, even if it doesn't have high-end smart driving, I'm afraid it will cost at least 600,000 or 700,000, right?"

"No, no, the pricing of Aido New Energy has always been very affordable. The two 'Saint Beans' in my home are proof of that."

Until this time, Mr. Bao smiled and pressed his hand to signal everyone to be patient, then pointed at the new car and introduced it.

"As you can see, it is equipped with the L4 intelligent driving 'Tianxuan system', which can achieve autonomous parking of 'get off the car and leave, people walk to the car'.

It also deeply integrates the upgraded version of 'Bajie', making human-computer interaction more convenient.

Whether it is a short distance or a long distance, it can achieve automatic driving according to instructions in all scenarios without intervention, freeing your hands and taking you anywhere you want to go.

The smart seats in the car are also equipped with a 'sleep mode' suitable for sleeping and resting.

Imagine that you only need to take a good night’s sleep, and the next day you can be with your lover who is living in another place to relieve your longing.

The bright moon is here at this moment, and we can share its beauty thousands of miles apart!
Technology shortens the distance between the worlds and makes distant longings within reach!
Now, please allow me to introduce to you the new generation of smart cars released today... the 'Badou Series'!
The model in front of you is the first flagship model of the 'Badou Series', and we named it -

'Love beans'! "

"Pfft! The names of idol cars are really funny."

"Badou... Isn't it just Bajie and Aidou combined? BMW and Badou, you guys can come up with that!"

"Lotus Bean, what a good name, I like it, honey, you must buy me one!"

"..."

Compared to the various exclamations, the faces of the colleagues present were not so good.

In addition to being shocked, they also felt deeply terrified.

The wolf is coming!
This is not a drill!
The confirmation of L4-level intelligent driving means that the competitiveness of their similar products has been left far behind by Aidou New Energy.

Just by looking at the reaction on site, they know that the sales of their next generation of new energy vehicles are worrying.

Even traditional fuel vehicles will probably be greatly impacted...

"Fortunately, fortunately, this car looks like a C-class luxury sedan. At least it doesn't directly compete with ours in terms of model."

"Yes, yes. Fortunately, I was wise enough to choose SUV as the main market direction. In the short term, there won't be any major problems... not much..."

Some people are secretly glad that this new car will not have too much impact on their product line for the time being.

however……

The picture on the screen suddenly changed.

One by one, cars with either fashionable and novel appearance or domineering appearance appear in the picture.

Two-seater mini, A-class car, B-class car, SUV, MPV, off-road vehicle, pickup truck...

Including the "Acacia Beans" on site, there are a total of eight...

"Next, please allow me to introduce to you several other models in the 'Badou' series -

French beans, iron peas, and loquat beans..."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Everyone was staring at the dazzling new car on the big screen in amazement.

Holy shit! Hachidou… that’s what he meant.

There are really eight more models!

My colleagues were even more confused!
In everyone's heart, there were ten thousand divine beasts galloping through...

When they launch a new car, there is one model but N configurations.

What is mini, plus, plus +.

You're so good, one series, eight models? !
Are you going to divide your troops into eight groups and leave no one alive?

Are you going to let people live?
This is not the wolf coming.

A pack of wolves is coming!
