It snowed all night. When I woke up the next day, there was no snow on the roads in the capital, and there was no sign of freezing.

The vehicles drove quickly along the road, and the traffic was not affected at all. It was just that the green belts covered with snow on both sides of the road were still reminding people how the heavy snow last night was raging.

"The capital city has not encountered blizzards for twenty years. The snow removal artifact is stunningly made to ensure the safety of road traffic in the capital." While having breakfast in the hotel, Hong Tao read the news title, "These reporters are really good. They are just super-large air heaters. This news report is a great tool."

Li Moran took a sip of coffee, picked up the sandwich with bacon on the plate, and said slowly, "Although the large-scale air heater itself is not a new technology, it is a wireless charging pile that provides it with electricity, so the truck can drag the air heater all over the street. This simple and crude snow removal method is only used by us. Other countries do not have the conditions to use it. From this point of view, it is also a bit amazing."

"Simplicity and crudeness are not important, what is important is effective!"

"Waste electricity is nothing. Anyway, it won't take long, and electricity will become a bargain."

"What are you talking about?"

Just as everyone was talking, Luo Jia came over with a plate.

The breakfast was buffet, and Luo Jia seemed to have a good appetite today, so she took two fried eggs, sliced ​​ham, mushroom seafood soup, plus a bowl of udon noodles.

Hong Tao said, "We are discussing the use of industrial air heaters to remove snow in municipal governments."

Luo Jia smiled, "We are working hard to build a power generation array, just to realize energy freedom in the future. I want to say that the heater is really nothing. In the future, we should install a heater under the road. When it snows, turn on the heater. It is best to install air conditioners to heat up in winter and refrigerate in summer. That is to be satisfying."

After hearing Luo Jia's words, everyone burst into laughter. It would be great if there was such a day.

After breakfast, everyone acted separately.

The new energy summit held in Beijing this time is very large in scale and is held at many locations at the same time.

Xingchen Technology is the flagship in the new energy field. Its partners are all over all walks of life, so no matter where the meeting is held, the participation of Xingchen Technology is indispensable.

According to the schedule, Luo Jia met his partners from the tire industry in the morning.

In fact, the large-scale mergers and acquisitions of domestic companies have never ended. On April 10, 2018, Double Star Group defeated more than a dozen competitors including mainland Germany, Michelin France, and Apollo in India, and won South Korea's Kumho Tires.

At this point, the acquisition of Kumho's Double Star and Sinochem, which acquired Pirelli, became the two heroes in the Chinese tire field. Another giant headquartered in Singapore, Gatong Tire, has actually been controlled by China Capital.

To this day, StarChen Technology has officially entered the tire field, bringing unprecedented black technology content to the entire industry.

Like most business practices in the past, Xingchen Technology does not make tires, but they provide the world's most advanced honeycomb solid tire technology and patents. Its subsidiary Xingchen Chemical produces synthetic rubber synergists sold for more than 100,000 yuan per kilogram.

This approach is obviously smart. Assuming that the net profit per tire is 50 yuan, StarChen Technology can also take away 25 yuan by selling patents and synergists, and it also saves the trouble of mass production.

Double Star, the tire company led by Sinochem, has officially joined the partner camp of Star Technology.

Although entering this camp requires a large amount of profit to Xingchen Technology, Sinochem and Double Star are willing to do so, because if Xingchen Technology builds its own tires, they will go bankrupt.

Unless necessary, Luo Jia rarely does everything to kill and always brings everyone to make money. As time goes by, the strategy of win-win cooperation has allowed Luo Jia to have more and more friends in this world, and even the Chinese military firmly supports him behind his back.

In the afternoon, Luo Jia came to Chang'an Hotel again. He wanted to give an explanation to the transportation department about the safety of autonomous driving technology.

Large-scale tests of autonomous driving technology require approval from the transportation department and cannot be done casually. Luo Jia personally shows up and explains it, which is conducive to approval.

Simply put, Luo Jia needs to issue a military order to the transportation department to ensure that his skills will not lead to major traffic accidents.

When dealing with superior authorities, some procedures have to be done although they are tedious and boring.

The bosses of the three major automobile groups are also appearing with Luo Jia, as well as the bosses of Pacific Insurance and PICC, who will provide insurance services for testing vehicles.

As soon as he arrived at the Great Wall Hotel, Luo Jia met Professor Ouyang.

"Luo Jia, let me introduce you to you. This is Zhang Qimin, the R&D director of Baidu Group, who is responsible for the Apollo plan." Professor Ouyang introduced Zhang Qimin around him to Luo Jia.

Luo Jia has always been easy-going in life, and he shook hands with Zhang Qimin cordially.

"It's still some time before the meeting begins. Let's go have a coffee." Professor Ouyang suggested.

The three of them sat down in the corner of the cafe. Professor Ouyang and Zhang Qimin ordered two cups of Blue Mountain. Luo Jia felt that the lunch was a bit greasy and ordered a cup of black tea and a fruit platter.

Professor Ouyang and Luo Jia have a very good relationship. He did not go around the circle and said directly to Luo Jia: "Although I know you have a competitive relationship with Baidu Group, Baidu's Apollo has been doing this for many years in the autonomous driving project, and has accumulated a lot of road test data, and is very experienced in this area."

"The electric vehicle project is of great importance. Whether it is Xingchen Technology or Baidu Group, they are all our Chinese companies. If you can cooperate, it would be great."

After Professor Ouyang finished speaking, he looked at Luo Jia with inquiring eyes, and Zhang Qimin was also full of expectations.

Luo Jia understands Professor Ouyang's mood. He is a top expert in the field of electric vehicles. He often walks in the study room. The national team has spent a lot of money on new energy and electric vehicles. Now it is under great pressure and he will definitely not be able to lose this battle.

Moreover, according to rumors, when Baidu was able to squeeze Google out of China, there were also some supporters in the study room. In the eyes of big shots, it seems that Xingchen Technology and Baidu have the possibility of cooperation.

Luo Jia started to talk to Ximu, talking about him around.

Cooperation requires profit sharing. Luo Jia does not feel the need to share profits to others, and Xingchen Technology does not need Apollo's technology.

According to the original direction of the matter, Luo Jia was fooled and passed. Professor Ouyang was not a person without eyesight, but could understand Luo Jia's thoughts.

But by chance, safe came at this time.

He was discussing cooperation with the motor company in the morning. Seeing that the ultrasonic motor project was about to be completed, and to produce ultrasonic motors that surpass the times, partners need to purchase new equipment. Anran wants to arrange it for them and seize the time to purchase and expand production.

"So you are here."

Anran walked over and sat naturally next to Luo Jia. Seeing that Zhang Qimin was unfamiliar, he asked curiously: "Who is this?"

"I am the head of the Apollo project of Baidu Group. Today I came to see Mr. Luo to discuss cooperation." Zhang Qimin said.

Luo Jia suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. An Ran’s pure straight man’s personality doesn’t know how to mix with others, and can’t practice Tai Chi. She always says whatever she thinks.

So Luo Jia hurried to La Anran and told him not to talk nonsense.

Unfortunately, Anran's thinking and speaking speed were too fast. Luo Jia couldn't hold it back, and Anran blurted out, "Your system has at least more than a thousand loopholes. Is it necessary to cooperate?"

Pooh ~

Everyone was stunned now, and Zhang Qimin's face suddenly turned red.

Apollo is an open system that has disclosed nearly one million lines of source code.

The disadvantage of an open system is that there is no place to hide its shortcomings, how good the code is written, and whether each module is designed exquisitely, everyone is watching.

Zhang Qimin didn't expect that An Ran was so disrespectful. He barely suppressed the anger in his heart and said angrily, "Mr. An, you can't talk nonsense. As far as I know, you are a mechanical and electromechanical background. You are completely a layman in writing code. You are polite about things you don't understand. You seem to be too arrogant, right?"

"We have hundreds of partners around the world, and have conducted large-scale road tests in North America and China. If there were so many loopholes, there would be chaos long ago."

It's over

Luo Jia observed a moment of silence for Zhang Qimin in his heart. Who can I provoke? What are you doing to provoke An Ran?

You can definitely not meet this guy!

After hearing Zhang Qimin's words, An Ran raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "If you don't mention North America, I'll forget that in 2017, you only had four test cars in California, with a total of 1,972 miles and 48 manual interventions. On average, every 41.08 miles had to be intervened, setting a record for the worst autonomous driving."

"In 2017, Google's Waymo Company invested 75 test vehicles and drove 352,545 miles and 63 manual interventions, with an average of 5,595.95 miles. Only then did they make manual interventions on the autonomous driving system, which is 136.2,207 times more reliable than you."

"However, Google still feels that Waymo's autonomous driving technology cannot meet the standards and voluntarily withdraws from the competition. As you, who are 136.2207 times worse than Google, how can you be embarrassed to say that the technology is mature?"

An Ran is worthy of An Ran, the most hardcore steel straight man in Xingchen Technology, directly took the data accurately to the four decimal places, making Zhang Qimin speechless and his whole face turned green.

Unfortunately, this straight man not only has a straightforward personality, but also speaks very quickly. It was revealed that Apollo's terrible test data in North America was not the end, but the beginning.

After pausing for a moment, An Ran continued to speak quickly: "In the location module loadization, you used rtkgps and imu, but I didn't see the kalmanfilter plug-in from the source code. I don't know if you ignored it or the technology did not meet the standards, so I didn't dare to release it."

"The idea of ​​open source is good, but it needs enough technology to support it. Just find an open source project in the robot field, such as ros, orocos, drake, etc., and you will know it. You can't just provide a framework and provide an underlying hardware driver to support a large open source community."
