High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 543 - 240: Her Kid Looks Just Like Mine_2

Although the concept of electric cars is not new and has been around for decades, it is only in the past few years that they have been able to rival gasoline cars with a range exceeding 400 kilometers, thanks to breakthroughs in lithium battery technology.

Therefore, the market for new energy electric vehicles is small. If Li Yang takes away the market users, it means they are likely to fail.

Especially since they have cut costs, their materials are inferior to Extreme Shadow Cars, their features are fewer than Extreme Shadow Cars, yet their pricing is higher than Extreme Shadow Cars.

It looks like a case of failure before starting, so naturally, they have to struggle desperately.

As time passed, Li Yang gradually delivered all one thousand cars to the owners.

Jiang Banxia was also exhausted from the effort.

After delivering the last batch of cars, there were only four days left before the New Year.

Li Yang gifted Jiang Banxia a car and took her to get it registered and insured.

"Did you really make it yourself?"

"Of course, I sewed all of these seats stitch by stitch. And this steering wheel, and the whole car assembly... If I had the ability, I would even dig lithium ores myself and process them."

"Hahaha, Master Li’s work looks meticulous."

Whether Jiang Banxia believed it or not, this was what Li Yang said.

Li Yang proudly said, "That’s a must, if nothing else, my work is top-notch."

"Let’s go then, I’ll treat you to dinner." Jiang Banxia grabbed Li Yang’s hand, ready to leave.

"Why do you want to treat me to dinner?"

"Of course, to congratulate Master Li on his successful start. In just eight days, the orders for Extreme Shadow Cars have exceeded ten thousand."

"Hmph, what’s ten thousand? This year aside, next year I will sell fifty thousand cars!"

"Then I believe it."

"Definitely!"

"Why does it seem like you succeed in everything you do?"

"Because I have you. I’m not afraid of losing money. I’m losing a lot of money on each car I sell..."

"Are you losing money?"

...

Jiang Banxia certainly didn’t think Li Yang was losing money.

Even if he sold thirty thousand cars in a year, Extreme Shadow Cars could recover over ten billion in funds. The supplier’s payment could be postponed for a few months, and Li Yang could fully utilize this money to earn a sum in the financial market.

Of course, Li Yang likely doesn’t care for this bit of capital.

If he did what he said and sold fifty thousand cars next year, he could recover more than a hundred billion in funds. He surely wouldn’t look down on a hundred billion, right?

Moreover, if he could sell fifty thousand cars in a year, Extreme Shadow Cars could break even and stop losing money.

This would be an incredible achievement.

From then on, Extreme Shadow Cars could create over a trillion GDP for the country each year.

Extreme Shadow Cars is dozens of times greater than her entire Wanliu Capital, and this is real industry!

A ten thousand-yuan turnover in the industry can circulate among many people.

While a ten thousand-yuan turnover in finance is basically point-to-point.

Apart from faster circulation, it pales compared to the industry.

"Should we call Ye Bingcheng to join us for dinner?"

"No need, he’s busy."

...

After resting for an entire night, the next afternoon, Li Yang drove Jiang Banxia back to her hometown.

The Extreme Shadow Car has a range of 450 kilometers. With the recent cold weather, the range needs to be discounted by 20%, and with the use of the heater, only 70% of the range is left.

But it still allows for a round trip between Jiang City and Jiangbei.

When the range extender technology breaks through next year, Li Yang plans to install it.

Although the current range extender technology is not bad, it generates electricity through fuel and then drives the motor, achieving a thermal efficiency of 45%, comparable to some top-tier engine efficiencies.

However, the downside is that the technology is still unstable, and many issues might arise. The related system algorithms are not yet developed.

It’s not particularly challenging technology; it should be feasible next year.

After returning to his hometown, he stayed for one night and played with his ’little nephew’ for half a day. Then he found an excuse about something in Jiangbei and hurried over after lunch.

...

"Mr. Ning, your car has been fully charged. Starting tomorrow until the seventh day of the New Year, I will be on holiday, but if you need anything, feel free to contact me. I can always connect you with the company’s on-duty personnel."

Zhang Mengyu handed over Ning Hao’s car keys.

Ning Hao was in Jiangbei because he had a dispute with his family a few days ago, and his parents were angry at him for it.

Fortunately, he rented a place in Jiangbei and planned to spend the New Year here.

"Great! By the way, there are two bottles of Moutai and a snack gift pack in the car, right? You can have them since I don’t drink."

Those items were promotional gifts with the car; Ning Hao originally planned to give them to his family for the New Year, except...

To be honest, the girl he went on a blind date with, her looks weren’t bad. At least Ning Hao couldn’t find any faults in that department.

Except... he couldn’t accept her aggressive attitude.

If it were other matters, he might endure, but she kept insisting he sell the car.

Knowing the car’s value, couldn’t she show a little understanding?

Just because she didn’t know, didn’t understand financial points, did she have to deny him entirely?

The only right thing he did in his life was idolizing Li Yang and following in his footsteps no matter what.

It transformed him from a struggling gamer-for-hire to a car owner.

Zhang Mengyu, hearing this, quickly declined, "Mr. Ning, if you don’t need them, I can help you cash them in. The current market price for Flying Moutai is around fifteen hundred, and the snack gift pack is around three hundred."

Ning Hao was stunned, "You can even help with that?"

Zhang Mengyu smiled slightly, "Gifts are also part of car service, and the company has a dedicated purchasing department. If you need any limited edition luxury goods, we can help you procure them. It’s a benefit for car owners."
