Back to 1995

A penny stumps a hero, which fully demonstrates the reason why money is a hero's courage. No matter how powerful it is, it is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.

If the current Siebel Motors is at the level of Tesla in the previous life, selling nearly one million electric vehicles a year, the market value is higher than that of GM, Volkswagen, Toyota and other traditional fuel vehicle giants, earning 900 billion US dollars a year At the peak, the market value was 9000 billion U.S. dollars, nearly five times the market value of the No. 2 car manufacturer Toyota, so Anduran didn't have to treat Ertian with such a flattering attitude.

But now, Anduran and Siebel Automobile are still inseparable from the support of Alcatel Group. In terms of research and development funds alone, Song Yang needs to coordinate and distribute the dollars earned by Alcatel's mobile phones to Siebel Automobile for production. funding.

There is also Siebel Automobile. Most of the sports cars produced now are sold to whom. A considerable part of them are subscribed by executives from Alcatel Mobile, ICQ and other departments. Without the purchase of these own people, the Siebel sports car Sales are estimated to be much lower.

Anduran's attitude towards Ertian can be imagined. After all, he is facing his God of Wealth. In a short time, Siebel Automobile needs the support of Alcatel Group.

In contrast, Mark Anderson, the chief technical officer of Siebel Automobile, had a completely different attitude towards Ertian.

Mark Anderson's qualifications in Silicon Valley are high enough. As a person who was as famous as Song Yang back then, even if Anderson is not as powerful as he was in the past because of Netscape's acquisition and bankruptcy today, his qualifications and seniority are there, and he was drawn into it by Song Yang. Siebel Automobile's is one of the partners of Siebel Automobile, so naturally there is no need to please Ertian or anything.

Even Elthian didn't dare to think so. After all, Anderson relied on his ability. As the best software engineer in Silicon Valley, how many big companies wanted to invite Anderson out of the mountain, but it was impossible.

"Tomorrow's Siebel Global Self-Driving Car Competition, President Ertian must join us!"

Anduran said to Ertian that besides promoting his own level of self-driving cars in the self-driving competition, Siebel also wanted to take the opportunity to poach some outstanding talents in the competition, just like the hacker competition in the Internet industry , often can attract many talent competitions, and major manufacturers take the opportunity to poach people.

"I believe in the technology of Siebel Auto, and with Anderson here, Siebel's automatic driving technology is the best!"

Ertian looked at Anderson's direction and flattered him a little. The latter also had a smug expression on his face when he heard the words, but then he restrained himself.

Anderson is confident. He led the team and painstakingly developed the Siebel electric vehicle driving system and automatic driving assistance technology, which are the best automatic vehicle technologies in the world. However, Netscape’s fiasco when facing Microsoft’s IE browser made Anderson I know, sometimes, technology is not invincible. Putting it on Siebel Automobile, the technology is true, but it is not known whether it can surpass traditional fuel vehicles and be accepted by the public. Anderson does not want to experience the Netscape-style loss It failed miserably.

The door was pushed open, and Ertian, Andurando, and Anderson all stood up when they saw Song Yang.

After Song Yang entered, he shook and washed hands with Anderson, and then waved his hands casually, making several people sit down. Song Yang didn't need to be so polite to Ertian and Anduran, but Anderson was different. Song Yang He will be somewhat polite to Anderson, which is what Anderson should be qualified for.

"Director Bruno, now Siebel's first electric car, the "Siebel Angel" electric car has been developed and has passed the debugging and testing. The first batch of [-] cars is expected to be put into production before Christmas.

The first sample car has been sent to San Jose Manor, Director Bruno can test drive it anytime! "

The name of the Siebel electric car is named after the angel in the myth. The first model is an angel. In the future, the upgraded model, or the new electric car will be named Michael, Gabriel, etc., anyway, the myth With so many names in it, I am not afraid of not enough.

Song Yang nodded when he heard Anduran's words, but he didn't intend to move his buttocks to test the car. The Siebel Angel-class electric car, without updating, has produced a total of 50, or even [-]. Statistics Song Yang would never touch things like accident rate and safety.

Siebel Motors is not Volvo Cars. Volvo Cars is good at everything, but it is a bit expensive for the president. Every time a new car is developed and safety tests are carried out, the president of the company is put on the road to hit him. Song Yang has no intention of dedicating himself to a high-risk occupation.

Seeing that Song Yang picked up the information about the Siebel Angel car, Mark Anderson on the side also said, "The current Siebel electric car, the current main driving method is still manual driving, and the automatic driving technology is only used as an auxiliary driving. On certain road sections, cruise mode can be used!"

It is purely overthinking to expect that some black technology will be thrown out from the beginning, leaving the driver, letting the driver lie on the seat, and letting the car drive on the road automatically.

Not to mention now, even in another 20 years, autonomous driving that is completely divorced from manual driving has not been allowed to pass, and even if the user uses the automatic driving mode to have a car accident, the manufacturer will not admit it at all.

But in the future, Siebel Automobile can slowly introduce some assisted driving to reduce the driver's work, but it will gradually need to be done in the future. Everyone knows that one day, the era of autonomous driving will come, but on that day, it will be in When will it appear, no one knows, maybe it will appear tomorrow, or maybe it will become a lifetime series again...

"Electric vehicle driving system, automatic driving system, etc. are the most important businesses of Siebel Automobile in the future. We must not stop. We can first develop functions such as automatic parking, smart car hailing, real-time road conditions, and satellite navigation!"

Song Yang looked at the information in his hands, raised his head and said to Anderson, some things may be useless at first, but... they have to be developed. As for these things, packaging them is a "black technology" that will change the car world!
Just like the smart call function, this thing is in America. If the car is parked in a certain place for too long, the officers of the Federal Patrol Police Station can use this function to move the car remotely to avoid the ticket. As long as you make a video to promote it, it's another black technology.

To extend it further, install more on-board rings, sensors, and a security system. If the owner is not in the car and encounters incidents such as car theft, smashing the car and stealing things, the car will automatically drive away to ensure the safety of the car, and then With a wave of fame that will never be stolen, the car won't sell well? !

Song Yang looked at the Siebel Angel-class electric car in his hand, which continued the previous style of Siebel Motors. Let alone whether the car is easy to use or not, the exterior design is absolutely cool, making people feel that this car is like a car at first glance. "Expensive" feeling.

The same is true of the Siebel Angel car. The exterior design is a sports car style, which is divided into two shapes: white and red. The most conspicuous are the two front headlights and the butterfly doors.

On paper, this electric car is quite eye-catching. It only takes less than 4 seconds to accelerate from [-] km to [-] km. full.

If this information is for users to read, then it is enough to read these, but for Song Yang to read, Anduran needs to show the most authentic data of this car to the big sponsor.

The Siebel Angel-class electric vehicle uses a lithium battery. The range of a single charge is about 320 kilometers. The driving distance is naturally different depending on the road conditions. In terms of safety performance, multiple rounds of inspections have passed the safety test, but the battery of the electric vehicle The bag is still the biggest weakness of the whole car, and the charging speed is still painfully slow. Although it takes dozens of hours to fully charge it before, it still takes more than ten hours now.

As for the weight of the car, the motor, gearbox, etc., not to mention, even the chassis is enough from General Motors. Some things cannot be studied carefully, otherwise it may be difficult to notice.

However, regarding these problems, Song Yang is not surprised. Originally, the first electric car was used to test the waters to improve its reputation and find problems. It is strange that there are no problems.

An Dulan looked at Song Yang's face, and carefully explained, "Currently, Siebel Automotive is jointly developing the super charging pile technology with Baker Hughes Energy's power laboratory. It is expected that the first generation of super charging technology will be released early next year. The pile can be developed, and the charging time can be shortened to less than five hours!"

Song Yang nodded, and said to Anderson and Anduran with a smile, "The technology of Siebel needs to continue to be developed. In addition, facilities such as charging piles must also be equipped, so that Siebel Angel cars can participate in the competition." Car awards, car rallies, etc., it's time to advertise this car.

In addition, not only in America, but also in old Europe, Asia and other places, the land reserved for laying Siebel super charging piles, and some mid-to-high-end communities also need to purchase land. Those places will be Siebel electric vehicles in the future Top users! "

When he left the San Jose Manor, Anduran breathed a sigh of relief. He came here today not just to give Song Yang an electric car. The most important thing is to hope that this car can be approved by Song Yang. To get it!
After Anduran and Anderson left, Ertian still took out one from the familiar portable safe, which was about [-]% similar to the smartphone in Song Yang's impression, and handed it to Song Yang.

"Alcatel P6's global mobile phone conference is still held as expected, but now many mobile phone manufacturers are attacking P6. We don't need to make some preparations to counter them?!"
