"I'm truly grateful to all the friends who came to support us. I believe today's launch will not disappoint you," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Before the press conference, the internet was flooded with news about Longteng Auto. This wasn't because Longteng Auto was doing a lot of advertising, but because people were curious about the company's background."

"I believe all the media present are eager to know what's going on here. Are there any media friends who don't want to know? Raise your hand!" Chen Yu said with a smile.

The scene erupted in laughter. How could anyone not want to know? This was the news they had been dreaming of!

"Do you think I'd tell you?!" Chen Yu said jokingly.

"Yes!" the media and audience members at the scene replied in a very cooperative manner.

"You all understand me best. Since everyone has come from afar, I must give back in some way. Consider this a gift to everyone here."

Actually, saying that Longteng Auto's predecessor was composed of Ford, Daimler, Toyota, and Honda is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's understandable. I acquired many core automotive technologies from these top-tier car brands. Just how strong are these technological capabilities?!

He could crush any car company in the world, whether it's Volkswagen or General Motors, he would utterly defeat them.

As for how the acquisition was conducted and how much it cost, that's not something I can disclose. After all, that involves trade secrets, and a contract was signed.

But what I want to say is this: Although Longteng Auto has such amazing technology, to me, Longteng's awesomeness doesn't lie in this, because Longteng's existence is definitely not just for making money or simply producing cars.

This isn't my style, and I wouldn't do something like that. Cars have been around for far too long.

As early as 1680, the famous British scientist Isaac Newton conceived of a jet-powered automobile, using a nozzle to eject steam to propel the vehicle, but he failed to create a prototype. This marked the earliest possible concept of the automobile.

With the advent of the steam age, in 1769, the Frenchman N.J. Cugnot built a three-wheeled automobile powered by steam generated from burning coal gas.

However, this vehicle could only travel at 4 kilometers per hour, and it had to stop every 15 minutes to add coal to the boiler, which was very troublesome. Later, the vehicle crashed into a brick wall during a journey and was smashed to pieces.

Another century passed before the automobile, in its true sense, appeared. After another 100 years of development, the automobile has become a common means of transportation in people's daily lives.

Therefore, simply manufacturing cars doesn't make much sense. I'm sure many of the technologies used in cars costing hundreds of thousands of yuan on the market today are from decades ago. At most, they might optimize power consumption, but one thing remains unchanged: they all use petroleum as their power source.

"Oil is a non-renewable resource. I believe everyone here knows about the resource problems our planet is facing. Is there anyone who doesn't know?!" Chen Yu paused here, looked at the audience, and joked.

The audience laughed.

"Everyone knows! I thought I was the only one who knew!" Chen Yu's slightly sad tone brought laughter to the room once again.

"Oil, this resource is showing signs of scarcity, a strategic resource! Various countries are scrambling to hoard it, but our Middle Eastern friends are generously selling to meet the demand from these countries. Of course, our American imperialists are also using various means to try to get more oil in the Middle East." Everyone understood that Chen Yu's joking remark was a veiled reference to the wars in Syria and Iran instigated by the United States.

"Wow, the prince is something else! He's so blatantly flirting with the Americans, isn't he afraid they'll blacklist him?!"

"When it comes to showing off, I only admire the Crown Prince. This show-off is too good. But have you considered what the American media thinks of such blatant mockery of the United States?"

"Although I hate to admit it, our country did indeed do that!"

"What else can be said? They wave the flag of peace ambassadors while stirring up wars everywhere."

···

Countless netizens have expressed their dissatisfaction.

"We ordinary folks can't talk too much about these international events and politicians' affairs, or we'll get investigated. Don't ask me what 'investigated' means, just search it on the cloud yourself!"

My wish is for world peace, and I am working tirelessly towards that goal.

Well, I'm really happy to have said that! Getting back to the point, the ultimate goal of establishing Longteng was not to acquire so much technology in the automotive field, such as engines, even though our country has many gaps in this area.

But this has little to do with me. Many people will say I'm just showing off. It has nothing to do with you. Why are you making such a big fuss about acquiring the core technologies of companies like Toyota, Honda, Daimler, and Ford?!

I won't refute this claim. Because I don't know how to refute it, and I'm too lazy to refute it.

"The purpose of Longteng is to serve a technology that I and my team have developed!" Chen Yu paused after speaking, and everyone present and watching the live broadcast was stunned.

"Longteng Auto actually developed a technical service for Chen Yu. What kind of service is so amazing that it makes Toyota, Honda, Daimler, and Ford look like supporting actors? And the investment in this supporting actor is a bit too exaggerated! It's probably at least in the hundreds of billions!"

"No way, is that really the case? But what kind of technology would make Chen Yu go to such lengths to steal technology from Toyota, Honda, Daimler, and Ford to serve him? Could it be a deliberate cover-up?"

"I almost believed it. Chen Yu is lying so blatantly now. He's offering hundreds of billions of dollars to serve your technology. Am I saying you're rich and willful, or are you just incredibly pretentious? This is going too far."

"666, I give you 100 points for that explanation. But what kind of technology made Chen Yu do this? I believe it's definitely not ordinary technology. What could possibly be related to cars? Could it be a maglev car from a science fiction novel or a big movie?! If that's true, that would be really interesting!"

"It's not impossible, but based on normal calculations, the probability is one in a trillion trillion. Maglev cars will definitely exist, but definitely not now. Current technology can't keep up with that pace, and there's a significant technological gap between current cars and maglev cars; they're not even on the same level. Besides, maglev shouldn't need gasoline or diesel generators, right?"
