Meng Hao returned to the stone forest and rested for several days.
Of course.
He wasn't idle during this time.
After modifying and refining the electric car design blueprints he had created while being detained by the US, Meng Hao soon launched his own model.
He named this model the Huarong·LuBao.
The exterior of the LuBao was almost identical to the previous design. However, all its data parameters had been upgraded again.
Looking at the finalized LuBao model, Meng Hao nodded with satisfaction.
From its exterior to its interior and overall design concept, this model was essentially the same as the code-named Y model, which had been plagiarized by Test.
Meng Hao, of course, had his own thoughts and considerations for maintaining such a similar design concept and appearance.
"Heh heh, Test, right?"
"Maschek, right?"
"My trap is set. Now I'll see if you'll jump in."
"Of course, if you do jump in, I guarantee you'll cry."
Meng Hao chuckled as he broke down the design blueprints.
The production of a car is definitely mass-produced.
This means that different parts are produced on different assembly lines and then assembled. This is a characteristic of the modern industrial background. The current industrial mass production model allows for the construction of any modern mass-produced product by simply producing the components and then assembling them, much like building with blocks.
Meng Hao's LuBao model also followed the same approach.
After several days of designing the LuBao blueprints, Meng Hao did not immediately start a live broadcast to announce the news. Instead, he visited the headquarters of Huarong Technology, its several branch factories, and the various regional branch factories that had previously been designated as semi-franchisees of Huarong Technology.
The main components with core technology would naturally be produced at Huarong Technology's main factory and its branch factories. However, while enjoying the best parts, he also needed to share some with others.
Other manufacturers who had previously undertaken battery production orders for Huarong Technology also received a significant portion of the orders. Of course, although most of these orders were for components with low technological content such as chassis, trunks, spare parts, and navigation screens, the order amounts offered by Meng Hao were more than 10% higher than those of similar manufacturers.
In essence, while incorporating these manufacturers into his production system, Meng Hao was also providing them with enough capital for industrial upgrades. After all, Meng Hao was going up against the entire modern new product production system under Maschek, including Test. If Huarong Technology were to fight alone, it would be impossible to achieve a successful counterattack.
Since he was going to deal with Test and take down Maschek, the best approach was to integrate all the resources that Meng Hao could access. For example, these major manufacturers who followed his lead.
These matters took Meng Hao nearly a month to complete.
By the time all the large and small industrial companies understood Meng Hao's intentions, Maschek had already chosen its production manufacturers.
Of course, Maschek ultimately did not establish factories in East Asia. The reason was simple. The high-level officials of Great Xia, especially the top decision-makers like Elder Ouyang, after obtaining Meng Hao's consent, had already given assurances to countries that were considering joining the Great Xia Financial Circle. They guaranteed that Meng Hao would definitely launch a model comparable to the code-named Y. Therefore, these countries, both official and private enterprises, chose not to cooperate with Maschek and were not divided by Test, a company led by the US military.
Nonsense. Maschek's cyber army might be able to stir up trouble on the internet in various countries, making those who don't know the truth believe that code-named Y had absolutely nothing to do with Meng Hao and was entirely developed and produced by Test. However, any high-level official with a normal brain could tell that this model was developed by Meng Hao when he was detained by the US. As the developer of this model, Meng Hao was the chief designer. And since Meng Hao himself stated that he could develop a more advanced model than code-named Y, his credibility was undoubtedly greater than Test's.
Of course, another major reason was that Great Xia's government was endorsing Meng Hao. Great Xia, unlike the United States, which disregarded its national reputation, has always cherished its reputation and credibility. This earned Great Xia the absolute support of other countries.
However, what the United States did not expect was that even the Republic of India did not accept Maschek's olive branch. The reason was simple. As Elder Ouyang had said, sending Meng Hao to the Republic of India previously had put the Republic of India heavily in debt to Great Xia. This debt was not only for helping the Republic of India design and build its "own" nuclear submarine, but also for another significant reason. Previously, the Republic of India had mistakenly believed that Meng Hao had joined the United States and had thus complained to Great Xia, making them suffer a silent loss...
However, after Meng Hao's return and the revelation of the true reason, the Republic of India, from top to bottom, fell silent. They had failed to take good care of Meng Hao and had put him in danger. They couldn't face Great Xia. And this debt was as immense as the sky. At the same time, the Republic of India also developed a rift with the United States. The Republic of India, which was already pursuing regional power status, independent of the US, Great Xia, and Russia, although using equipment from all over the world, was the financier when it came to purchasing military hardware. However, the United States, as a supplier, had cheated its financier, the Republic of India. This deepened the Republic of India's distrust of the United States. At least, in the matter of establishing the Great Xia financial circle, out of a sense of returning a favor and guilt, the high-level officials of the Republic of India leaned towards Great Xia. At least, when it came to purchasing the latest new energy electric vehicles, the Republic of India rejected Test's kind offer and waited for the latest model developed by Meng Hao.
This made the US extremely annoyed and helpless. However, the gamble the US had made with its national reputation by weaving the lie that Meng Hao had joined the US, and the subsequent collapse of this lie, should have made them realize that the US national reputation was infinitely close to bankruptcy. The consequence of national reputation bankruptcy was that countries like the Republic of India, which were previously on the borderline of being approachable or unapproachable, began to distance themselves from the US. It was certain that such incidents and such countries would become increasingly common.
