Chapter 942: Chapter 514: Jieke Tax

Beautiful Country!

The Ford Motor Company, headquartered in Dearborn City, Michigan, is bustling with activity as a large group of engineers are brought in to conduct various tests on a biological battery.

After a series of tests, in the final step, the battery is violently cut and thrown into the fire pit to burn, yet there is no sign of self-ignition from the biological battery, making the onsite engineers gasp in surprise.

Meanwhile, in the conference room at the headquarters, the Ford Motor Company President Mura is pacing back and forth anxiously, awaiting the final results of the tests, while numerous Ford executives are already seated.

Moments later, Ford’s Chief Engineer McKinley hurriedly enters the office, saying excitedly, "Oh my God, President Mura, you won’t believe it, this biological battery is perfect, truly perfect."

McKinley’s face is flushed with excitement, as a researcher, the emergence of this biological battery attracts him beyond imagination.

If Mura weren’t here, he would rush back to continue testing it.

In McKinley’s view, the sudden appearance of this biological battery could render most other batteries obsolete and dump them into the dustbin of history.

Most batteries not only have much lower energy density than biological batteries, but are also prone to thermal runaway, causing them to self-ignite.

However, this biological battery achieves a perfect fusion in aspects like resources, energy, safety, extreme environments, materials, transmission, and systems.

"Quickly, tell the test results."

Mura has no interest in McKinley’s chatter; he immediately wants detailed data on this biological battery.

Seeing the impatience on Mura’s face, McKinley slightly restrains his smile, knowing he isn’t a fool despite his high position, and hands over a detailed test data sheet on the biological battery, explaining:

"Through our tests, this biological battery has an energy density of up to 1200Wh/kg, a three-minute charge can satisfy driving a car for three thousand kilometers, and its safety is perfect - no matter intense expansion, cutting, or high temperatures, none can trigger the battery’s self-ignition. It’s simply God’s masterpiece, too perfect, truly perfect."

Hearing this data, Mura, who still held out a sliver of hope that this biological battery contains large amounts of water, breathes heavily and his entire expression falls apart.

"Are you sure it’s really that strong?"

Mura grits his teeth, his voice slightly trembling.

"Absolutely no mistake, we conducted the most comprehensive tests; there’s no way a single error could slip through."

McKinley, hearing Mura questioning his professionalism, pats his chest with confidence.

"Is there any possibility of successfully imitating it?"

Mura asked.

"Not a chance, many materials cannot be made, there’s completely no idea where to start with imitation."

McKinley shakes his head repeatedly, expressing his helplessness.

Mura isn’t surprised, expecting such a result; products from Jieke Group have been emerging for years, yet none have been imitated successfully.

Thinking about this, Mura’s gaze turns to the operations director on the other side: "How is the situation with the company’s oil cars and new energy vehicles now?"

The operations director quickly responds: "President, our production line is still oriented on oil cars; the electric vehicle production line was completely shut down two years ago."

Ford was not without diversity in automotive business development; they once manufactured new energy vehicles.

However, Beautiful Country seemed to have struggled to adapt to new energy electric vehicles; apart from Tesla leading the industry, traditional old car companies that transformed to produce electric vehicles mainly found themselves at a loss.

Like Ford, the past electrification vehicle business was a loss-making bottomless pit, incapacitated by the new energy vehicle enterprises from Hua Country, bleeding sales without receiving returns in numbers, losing to Hua Country new energy vehicle companies in the largest market, while the market share in Beautiful Country was limited; counting research funds, operations, labor, and other costs, selling each new energy vehicle incurred a loss of over 100,000 US Dollars.

Dragged down by the new energy vehicle business, the profits created by their oil cars couldn’t cover the massive losses brought by the new energy vehicles, deeply mired in trouble.

Thus, even knowing that new energy vehicles are the future trend, Ford Motor Company still cut off the new energy vehicle business segment, ditching this debt-ridden burden.

But who would have known, just two years after shedding it, Jieke Group’s biological battery emerged suddenly.

Mura’s expression at this moment is as terrible as it can get; everyone knows the greatest limitation troubled in new energy vehicles is the battery, yet now the barrier is broken by Jieke Group, ushering in a golden age for new energy vehicles. But ironically, it’s been two years they’ve been without a new energy vehicle business; the frustration in Mura’s heart is imaginable.

"Fake, at this exact moment, Jieke Group, this bitch, why couldn’t they come up with the biological battery earlier."

Mura couldn’t help cursing, while the company executives beside him lower their heads, not daring to speak.

Only Mc Kinley, bold as he was, dared ask: "President, shouldn’t we produce new energy vehicles?"

"Nonsense, how could we not produce them? This is an innovation in the energy field; future oil car sales will surely plummet, new energy vehicles are a brand new blue ocean. If we don’t earn from it, should we just watch our competitors, General, Stellantis, and those Tesla bastards make the profits!"
