291: Approval passed, the automotive industry is collectively confused

Just kidding.

If Fenglei isn't qualified after seeing this technical discussion, then no company in the World is.

It's the same even if other departments don't review it.

Hearing this, Ren Yi was a little confused.

What does he mean?

If it passes, it passes, why bring an expert team over?

Ren Yi still underestimated the terrifying nature of this rare Aerospace technology.

Even for some technologies, Ren Yi deliberately falsified data, reducing the parameters as much as possible.

After all, building rockets is much more complex than building cars.

It's impossible to achieve the best results from the start.

However, if only half of the parameter performance is achieved in the early stage, it can not only save a lot of construction time but also launch independent satellites at the fastest speed to complete the layout of "Tianting Starlink."

In short, a technological storm sweeping the entire Aerospace field is about to arrive.

Huang Guodong also walked the talk, directly having all the rocket experts from the Aerospace Administration air-dropped to Fenglei Headquarters overnight.

At this time, many people were shocked by the news of Fenglei registering an Aerospace company.

Fenglei's execution is truly invincible.

They really mean what they say and do it, not wasting any time!

Even many industry bigwigs who were skeptical were utterly dumbfounded.

The strides they are making are too big!

Are they really not worried about overextending themselves?

It's normal for other companies, after becoming successful, to enter various industries.

But these capital giants invest in lucrative industries like finance, entertainment, and real estate.

Yet, what is Fenglei doing?

Developing battery chips is understandable, as it's related to the automotive industry.

But now, they're actually getting into rockets and satellites?

Are they a car manufacturer or a military-industrial enterprise?

Do they really think of themselves as Elon Musk?

Elon Musk accumulated a large amount of capital and connections before starting.

What about Fenglei?

To put it bluntly, they're just a nouveau riche; what do they know about rocket technology?!

Competitors around the World were also stunned.

Especially those luxury car brands, who were still considering how to subtly cut corners in their next-generation models, how many inches to change the interior screen, and how to add refrigerators, washing machines, and large luxury TVs to make the car feel more luxurious.

But what about Fenglei?

They are focusing on tangible technology, breaking through technical barriers, and thus causing a dimensionality reduction strike within the industry.

This makes it impossible for other car companies, accustomed to resting on their laurels, to resist.

They feel very frustrated and angry.

What's the point of this? Can't everyone just rest on their laurels?

Only you are capable, insisting on technological innovation.

They simply cannot keep up with this kind of internal competition.

However, it's a good thing that Fenglei has few car models and its production capacity isn't large.

This prevents them from losing their market entirely.

Otherwise, if Fenglei built a few more global factories and launched a few more new models, some car companies truly wouldn't know how to survive.

At least the Chinese market would definitely be unsustainable for them.

After all, Fenglei, along with other car companies within the United Nations, has formed an automotive alliance, eyeing the mid-to-low-end market and aggressively seizing market share from foreign cars.

Several relatively weaker luxury brands have been struggling to pay salaries for the past few months and are considering withdrawing from the Chinese market.

They are even considering whether to humble themselves and cooperate with Fenglei for a piece of the pie.

After all, if this trend continues, it's only a matter of time before they completely lose the Chinese market.

Rather than facing this cruel outcome, it's better to humble themselves and cooperate with Fenglei, giving up the lion's share of the profits, and preserving their own small territory while their brand still has market competitiveness.

However, Fenglei suddenly announced its entry into the Aerospace field.

They hesitated again.

In fact, they are very pessimistic about Fenglei's decision this time, believing it is destined to fail.

The reason is simple.

If Aerospace technology were that easy, then out of so many car manufacturers globally, only Tesla would not have succeeded.

More precisely, Elon Musk's SpaceX has been established for so many years, and its current profitability has only just moved beyond the loss-making stage.

If it weren't for Tesla's global wealth accumulation providing support, it would have declared bankruptcy long ago.

No way.

The rocket industry is too expensive, and success is not guaranteed.

It can be said that this is an industry with extremely high risk-reward.

Without government subsidies, no company would do such a thankless job.

Developing games or food delivery, or even selling bubble tea, has a higher return rate than this.

And how much stronger can Fenglei be than Tesla? They haven't even found their footing yet, and they're already thinking of going to space.

This is simply "arrogant"!

What these car companies hope for most now is that Fenglei gets carried away and suffers a huge loss.

If it gets to the point where even car manufacturing is greatly affected, that would be wonderful.

After careful consideration, the heads of many car manufacturing giants decisively abandoned the idea of bowing to Fenglei.

Instead, they chose to wait and see.

They even felt a little excited.

However, just as they were fantasizing about Fenglei taking a massive fall, another piece of news that shocked the World came from within the country.

["The Chinese Aerospace Bureau announced: Fenglei Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. has passed the review, and rocket construction and launch bases can commence full operations immediately!"]

"? ? ? ? ?"

"Nani??"

"So fast??"

"It's only been a few days, and the Aerospace Administration approved it?!"

"Are they playing around? How is this possible? Is building rockets so casual now? No need for even a review??"

"I remember last time, it took almost half a year just for the preliminary review for a certain private enterprise to launch a commercial satellite?!"

"Good heavens, if Fenglei is getting into Aerospace this time, could it be that the country is supporting it behind the scenes??"

"Hiss, if the country is backing them, then it really is worth watching."

"But even with national support, they still need their own strength. Does Fenglei have Aerospace technology accumulation internally??"

The outside World was shocked!

A short piece of news, but the amount of information was too great!

It not only represented the attitude of the National Aerospace Administration but also conveyed some information.

If Fenglei had only established an Aerospace company, they wouldn't be so shocked; it's not as difficult as imagined.

The real difficulties are funding and technology.

How to build rockets, how to send satellites into space.

But then again, without independent rocket technology, why would the country support it?

What's the point of creating a shell company?

Various bigwigs speculated that Fenglei either spent a lot of money to finance a private Aerospace company to obtain basic rocket launch technology.

Or they directly purchased ready-made rockets and satellites from other large Aerospace companies or the National Aerospace Administration.

It's even possible that the launch button wouldn't be pressed by their own people.

If there were any such movements, there would certainly be traces, and it would be hard to keep it a secret.

In that case, Fenglei building rockets would be a joke.

But the current situation is that Fenglei made no moves and directly passed the approval.

Does this indicate that Fenglei truly has relevant rocket technology internally?
