109: Points credited, 108 technologies

Stared at by Ren Yi, Zhang Kangyang subconsciously took a step back before explaining, “All imported car parts have been restricted.”

“Especially the core component of our motors, the permanent magnet, which is now out of stock.”

“Currently, the price of permanent magnets in the country has skyrocketed.”

“It doesn’t matter if you have connections, you can’t buy them no matter how much money you offer.”

“I’ve checked, and most permanent magnets have been bought up by those foreign-funded enterprises in the country.”

“Damn it, I knew it.”

Upon hearing Zhang Kangyang’s words, Ren Yi immediately cursed.

He had calculated everything, but he didn’t account for this item.

Other parts were fine; they could still be processed domestically.

Although the precision wasn’t as good as imported ones, they could still barely be used.

The most difficult thing was the permanent magnet.

This is the core component of the motor, and its main materials are rare earth elements, neodymium and dysprosium.

Unfortunately, the domestic production of these two rare elements is scarce, and 90% needs to be imported from abroad.

And precisely, the flash charging battery uses these two rare elements; other metals cannot substitute them.

Without motors, how could cars be delivered to the owners?

There are only two months left until the delivery date.

Clearly.

This was another wave of sanctions from M Country.

Besides this world’s largest country, which other country has such great power to simultaneously make global car companies unite against Fenglei?

“President Ren, what should we do now?”

“This news has spread everywhere, and now the entire internet is doubting whether we can deliver cars on time.”

“Moreover, the Top Ten Luxury Cars have started a new round of promotional activities, saying that consumers who order a car within this month will get another 100,000 discount.”

“This is clearly forcing consumers to choose one or the other!”

Zhang Kangyang was pacing anxiously.

This time, it was a joint sanction by global car companies, and 70% of Fenglei’s vehicle parts rely on imports.

Now, various parts have been cut off by others, which means the power over life and death is already in the opponent’s hands.

“It must be planned by the forces behind the Top Ten Luxury Cars.”

“Where can we find alternative parts in such a short time?”

“Even if they can be replicated domestically, it will take a lot of time to debug.”

“With so many parts, by the time they are all debugged, at least half a year will have passed.”

“This kind of trade between countries is not something ordinary enterprises can decide.”

“How about we also ask the government to step in?”

Zhang Kangyang suggested.

At this moment.

Ren Yi suddenly trembled, then revealed a smile.

“No need, such a small matter doesn’t require bothering the country; we can solve it ourselves.”

“Small matter?”

“And solve it himself??”

“How will he solve it??”

“We’ll just wait to lose money!”

Zhang Kangyang was speechless.

At this point, his boss was still trying to save face.

He didn’t immediately ask the country to mediate, and he could even smile?

Of course, Ren Yi had to smile.

Because just now.

The system prompted that he had completed the task of 10,000 micrometer-level chips.

5,000 points were credited to his account.

“A timely rain! With so many points, do I still lack those broken technologies?”

He immediately eagerly contacted the system.

“System, how many points do all the production line blueprints for Fenglei’s imported parts cost?”

“Especially for permanent magnets, are there any that use raw materials available domestically, the kind that are dirt cheap?”

Ding!

System: “This purchase requires 108 technologies, consuming 5018 points. Player, do you confirm the purchase?”

Ren Yi was overjoyed.

“Buy, buy, buy!”

This time, he also spent all his points, but Ren Yi didn’t feel any heartache at all.

He decisively clicked confirm.

Ding!

Ding ding!

Ding ding ding…

Soon.

One by one, the technical blueprints for car parts, along with explanations, popped up in his mind.

Among them, the permanent magnet that Ren Yi cared about most finally appeared as he wished.

[Super Permanent Magnet: Magnetic force is 10 times that of a permanent magnet of the same area, waterproof and fireproof, magnetic force does not decrease at temperatures from -100 to 300oC. (Main raw materials: iron, mercury, lithium, copper)]

System: “Congratulations to the player for consuming over 5000 points in a single transaction. You are awarded 10 tons each of iron, mercury, lithium, and copper.”

These metals provided are enough to build 500,000 motors.

Ren Yi couldn’t help but burst into maniacal laughter.

…

The next day.

The news about Fenglei being jointly sanctioned by the global car company alliance had spread across the entire internet.

All major news hot searches were about Fenglei.

For a time.

Fenglei was once again pushed to the forefront.

“What’s going on now?”

“Again? Are they not letting people live?”

“Can’t they let Fenglei deliver cars properly? Why is it so hard for domestic products?!”

“Awesome!!!”

“Isn’t this clearly trying to crush Fenglei?”

“These foreign capitalists are truly black-hearted; they don’t give anyone a chance to survive!”

“One wave after another, who can withstand this?!”

“It’s still because the national strength is too weak; otherwise, would these companies dare to be so arrogant?”

“No matter what, the country should step in now!”

…

And seeing this news was a joyous celebration for the sheepdogs and rival businesses.

“Haha, well done!”

“Fenglei, why aren’t you arrogant now? Where’s your previous arrogance?”

“Just because you have national support, you thought no one could control you?”

“What if you have chips? The car is just an empty shell.”

“And it even implicated other domestic car companies. Such unscrupulous companies should go out of business.”

“Fenglei, shut down!”

…

It was still the Atlantis Hotel.

It was still the familiar Room 88888.

Liu Jun was truly unconvinced.

He was really fixated on this place.

If he didn’t win against Fenglei once, this nagging problem would never go away.

So, he still chose this place.

Zhang Jian and the others didn’t have Liu Jun’s mindset; they thought this place was unlucky and suggested changing it.

However, Liu Jun refused.

Because the idea this time was Liu Jun’s, and the nine people were just benefiting from it, so they naturally felt uncomfortable saying anything more.

Moreover.

They also believed that Fenglei was doomed this time.

If they couldn’t deliver cars on time, the 100,000 orders they had bought alone would make Fenglei lose its shirt.

This time, they could finally celebrate properly.

“Haha, if Fenglei doesn’t die this time, I’ll livestream myself running naked!”

“What if he has national backing? What if he made chips? Without parts, what will he use to build cars?”

“Other parts might be found with some time, but those two rare elements for making permanent magnets are not available domestically.”

“Gah gah, it’s so satisfying, we finally killed this cockroach!”

“At crucial moments, we still rely on President Liu; without him, we wouldn’t have our gathering tonight!”

“Come, come, everyone, let’s toast President Liu.”

…

Zhang Jian and the other nine General Managers surrounded Liu Jun, raising their glasses.

At this moment.

Liu Jun, like a strategist who was in full control, had a confident smile on his face from beginning to end.

He moved among these nine people with ease!

“You General Managers are too kind; how is this my credit?”

“This time, being able to join forces with global car companies to form a car company alliance and cut off all of Fenglei’s car manufacturing parts.”

“It still relies on M Country and many other developed countries; without them, even the best idea would be in vain.”

Zhang Jian and the others laughed heartily, very satisfied with Liu Jun’s attitude.

He was neither arrogant nor overbearing.

He always gave the impression of a true gentleman.

At this moment.

Liu Jun changed the subject.

“General Managers, let’s not get too carried away.”

“Before the dust settles, it’s still best to be careful.”

“Now, it’s time for us to exert our strength.”

“Let’s snatch all of Fenglei’s customers and deliver a fatal blow.”
