Meng Hao.
The news that he had publicly dissed Tesst in the live broadcast quickly reached Tesst's CEO, Marschek.
To this, Marschek appeared very calm.
Clearly.
The war between Marschek's Tesst and Meng Hao's Huarong Technology, a war to the death, had begun from this very moment.
But who would ultimately prevail was not determined by who appeared more dominant or who belittled the other.
Regarding Meng Hao's evaluation.
Marschek also appeared very calm when facing reporters' interviews.
"Young people, it's okay to be a bit arrogant..."
"But, one must know their place..."
"And also, this latest Tesst model was not developed by Meng Hao; it is a Tesst product."
"Of course, we reserve the right to pursue legal action for Meng Hao's deliberate defamation."
Good heavens.
Another one who twists facts.
The reason Marschek claimed the car was developed by Tesst was simple.
If he admitted it was developed and manufactured by Meng Hao.
Wouldn't that be like giving Meng Hao free advertising on a global scale?
Of course.
There was an even more important reason.
For any product, from its launch to large-scale promotion, making it known to everyone, making all consumers aware of its existence, requires a massive investment in advertising funds.
If Marschek were to promote this model codenamed 'Y' to the point where all global consumers knew about it, and then Meng Hao suddenly launched a similar model.
Wouldn't all the money spent on brand building be wasted?
Marschek was a smart man, and an astute businessman.
He would definitely not do something that damaged his own interests while benefiting his opponent.
Therefore, he wanted to get ahead of the situation.
To completely block Meng Hao's path.
Besides this.
...
At Marschek's residence.
A merchant meeting was underway.
Product distributors and factory owners from many countries around the world attended this meeting.
"Today, naturally, we will be selling this model codenamed 'Y'..."
"First, let's discuss sales. Which distributors are willing to represent our product?"
"Of course, the official launch date of this product has not been set yet, but we are already accepting pre-orders..."
Marschek was a shrewd businessman.
As a businessman, his aim was naturally to maximize profits and minimize risks.
In simple terms, it was to earn the most money with the least cost, while also minimizing his own risk exposure.
For example, this product order meeting and the pre-order system were precisely for this purpose.
According to Marschek's plan.
He divided the world into over a hundred different regions.
And in each of these regions, there would be at most one general distributor.
Of course.
There was no distributor for the East Asian region, primarily led by Great Xia.
This was the result of Marschek's discussions with the US military and officials.
What they needed to do was.
To leverage the latest new energy vehicle developed by Meng Hao to influence the entire financial circle around Great Xia.
And the first step they needed to take.
Was to start promoting this car globally.
And let the major Asian countries see the profit potential of this product.
Money, always supreme, could corrode hearts and even break international agreements.
After Marschek gave a preliminary introduction to the car.
He gave all the attending distributors time to digest the information.
"Holy crap, this product is amazing..."
"It can achieve a theoretical range of seven hundred kilometers, and even the actual tested range in high and low temperatures is up to five hundred kilometers. This is a revolutionary product!"
"This car model reminds me of the fourth-generation Fruit phone..."
The fourth-generation Fruit phone.
Was the late Steve Jobs' most proud and a revolutionary product that brought all Fruit products to the global public.
The model codenamed 'Y' presented before everyone could be compared to the Apple 4, which showed how utterly astonishing this product was to everyone.
Regarding the gasps of admiration from the distributors present.
Tesst's Marschek wore an unchanging, calm smile.
However.
Inside, he was seething with rage.
Ever since new energy vehicles, so-called electric cars, appeared in the public eye.
After the initial excitement, new energy vehicles had always felt lackluster.
There was no way around it.
A so-called revolutionary product.
Had to be a completely new electronic technology product, or a product that achieved a qualitative leap in performance.
And new energy vehicles clearly did not fit either of these criteria.
Initially.
When new energy vehicles were launched.
The near-silent ride experience, the extremely responsive driving, and the sci-fi-like interior did indeed cause quite a stir.
However.
Soon.
The various shortcomings and defects of new energy vehicles became apparent.
For example.
Autonomous driving, which was talked about when new energy vehicles were first introduced to the market, had seen no progress after all these years...
Another example.
The various braking issues of new energy vehicles had been a constant source of criticism, a problem that easily led to accidents and crashes...
And yet another example.
If braking issues affected road safety and pedestrians, then the self-ignition problem that had plagued new energy vehicles since their inception remained unresolved, making any driver and passenger feel endangered...
Of course.
Setting aside these issues.
The biggest criticism of new energy vehicles was their range.
Even Tesst's previous model, which claimed to use the highest density energy batteries.
Could only achieve an actual range of less than three hundred kilometers.
This was a fatal flaw for long-distance travel.
Many people online had shared their driving experiences.
On a journey of several hundred kilometers home, they had to charge more than ten times, spending hours charging.
This was something almost all drivers could not tolerate.
However.
Tesst's Marschek's latest model, self-proclaimed as the independently developed codenamed 'Y' car, had almost overturned all existing technologies in new energy vehicles.
It could be said.
This model was truly revolutionary.
It could almost lead a technological revolution in the field of new energy vehicles.
Therefore.
Despite Marschek's polite, professional smile.
In reality.
His heart was a complex mixture of emotions.
