Outside the suburbs, under the blessing of superpowers, the new factory of Dawn Technology rose at an astonishing speed.

In just a few weeks, the once barren plot of land now stood with several steel-structured factory buildings and research centers.

Qi Yun stood by the window, looking at the industrial park that had begun to take shape, feeling an indescribable sense of achievement surge within him.

"President Qi, this time we purchased a total of four production lines from Germany, all matching the Denning Era standard. The equipment in Workshop No. 3 has already been installed. Let me show you." Tao Ziming excitedly showcased his achievements to Qi Yun.

Qi Yun nodded and followed Tao Ziming towards the workshop. When they pushed open the heavy dust-proof door, a mechanical scent greeted them, with some protective films not even removed yet.

"Our production equipment is currently the most advanced model in the world, reaching an automation level of 90%."

"All precision operations are completed by the central control system, with an estimated production capacity of 800 battery modules per hour, which is highly efficient in the industry..."

Qi Yun looked at the mechanical arms stretching like tentacles; indeed, they were very advanced. It seemed the money was spent wisely.

"I saw on the news that Tesla’s newly developed solid-state battery has a range of over 700 kilometers. Do our products have an advantage?"

Qi Yun was most worried that just after starting production, their technology would be surpassed by others.

Tao Ziming showed a confident smile: "President Qi, don’t worry. When we started the research, I promised you that our new materials would be technologically leading."

"Before applying for a patent, I had the technical team conduct multiple rounds of testing. In normal conditions, new energy vehicles equipped with our battery can go beyond 1,000 kilometers."

"Hmm."

Seeing Tao Ziming’s confidence, Qi Yun satisfactorily nodded, "Have all the production procedures been completed?"

"Yes, everything is done. The district and city authorities are very supportive."

"Given the current progress, I think we can start mass production by the end of the month. In a couple of days, I’m planning to reach out to some car companies to discuss cooperation. Then we can hold a press conference and have the media report on our product..." Tao Ziming seamlessly outlined the plan.

"I almost forgot about that." Qi Yun patted his forehead, took out his phone, and walked outside, "You don’t need to find the customers, just wait for my call."

...

More than an hour later, under Tao Ziming’s astonished gaze, Guanghui Group’s boss Liu Guangxin stepped out of the car.

"Little Qi, what do you want to show me?" Liu Guangxin asked Qi Yun curiously.

He was in a good mood recently. Not only had the Pakistani businessman Qi Yun introduced to him placed another order, but the quantity had doubled since the last time. If this keeps up, he wouldn’t have to worry about the batch of zero-mileage used cars anymore.

"Let me introduce you; this is my partner, Tao Ziming." Qi Yun didn’t answer directly, pointing to Tao Ziming beside him, "Old Tao, I guess there’s no need for me to introduce Director Liu to you, right?"

Tao Ziming snapped out of his surprise, quickly stepped forward, and extended his hand in greeting: "Director Liu, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you."

Liu Guangxin smiled and shook his hand: "Haha, hello."

"Old Tao, why don’t you take Director Liu around our workshop and introduce the situation to him?" Qi Yun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Tao Ziming immediately understood his intention.

Guanghui Group was once the largest car dealership in the country, with abundant car enterprise resources at their disposal. There was no need for him to talk to them one by one, and they carried much more weight than their unknown little company.

"Sure, sure, Director Liu, this way, please..."

With a look of curiosity, Liu Guangxin was led by Tao Ziming to tour the production and research workshops.

When the two came out again, Liu Guangxin’s face was full of amazement.

"So, Director Liu, how do you find our products?" Qi Yun asked, smiling at Liu Guangxin in the reception room.

Liu Guangxin took a deep breath, his tone full of astonishment: "Little Qi, I didn’t expect you to quietly achieve such a significant outcome. Now I understand why you invited me here."

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Qi Yun and Tao Ziming exchanged a glance and smiled: "Director Liu is a wise man."

"We want to ask you to connect us with a few mainstream car enterprises to recommend our batteries."

"That’s all talk; no problem. I’ll have the head of the automotive business connect with you shortly." Liu Guangxin agreed readily.

"Alright, thank you in advance, Director Liu. There’s also another matter... Do you remember the topic of new energy vehicles we discussed last time?"

"Do you think, with the battery technology we currently hold, we have competitiveness if we build cars ourselves?"

The main reason Qi Yun asked Liu Guangxin to come over was not just to sell batteries; he wanted to show him his capability and discuss the possibility of car manufacturing.

This question left Liu Guangxin stunned.

He put down his teacup, and his expression turned serious: "Little Qi, are you serious?"

"Very serious!" Qi Yun’s voice was firm, "The battery is the core of new energy vehicles, and we’ve mastered the most critical technology. If we only act as suppliers, we’ll always be dressing others for marriage."

"You know, the profit from selling batteries is far less than selling cars."

Liu Guangxin pondered for a long while, slowly saying: "I admit your product does have a significant technological advantage, but building cars isn’t that simple."

"Complete vehicle manufacturing involves thousands of components and requires a vast supply chain system, not to mention brand building, sales channels, after-sales services... all these require heavy asset investment."
