Chapter 989: 989 Dialogue between enemies


Inside the Venus Hotel, Zhao An leisurely appeared in the corridor. His female bodyguard, who had initially intended to follow him, was left weak and resting in the RV after being sexually assaulted by Zhao An.

Pushing open the door, he found the room already set with food. A hot pot was in the center, and sliced ​​beef and lobster were laid out on the table, even including a special caviar. However, Zhao An wasn't interested in these exotic dishes. Caviar was simply fish roe, nothing special. He hadn't yet grasped the decadent tastes of the wealthy, much like French foie gras—mediocre, even somewhat unpalatable, and ridiculously expensive—a complete rip-off!

"Hey, you look pretty good. Enough with the chit-chat, I'm going to make new energy vehicles. Your brother's already partnered with a foreign company. New energy vehicles are definitely a lucrative market; whoever gets in first will have a head start." Zhao An picked up a slice of beef and dipped it in the hot pot. "You didn't spit in there, did you?"

Huang Meng chuckled, annoyed. "Heh, I'm not that bored."

Even if Huang Meng hadn't said it, Zhao An knew he hadn't. He quickly swished the beef in the hot pot and ate it. "Balance bikes are just a small test. Electric scooters have a wide market, but maintaining them requires some technology. Electric cars have a bright future, and you probably already know why."

Huang Meng quickly realized, "You mean the license plate lottery, right? New energy vehicles don't need a lottery, and even traditional cars are becoming harder to get license plates for now. But how confident are you in making a new energy vehicle? If you can, I'll handle the market."

New energy vehicles are non-fuel vehicles, generally considered to be electric vehicles. Fuel is a non-renewable resource that will eventually run out, and its price is subject to manipulation. Furthermore, current technology is pushing it to the forefront of environmental protection efforts.

Energy-powered vehicles receive subsidies and don't require a license plate lottery. Sustainable vehicles represent the future, but achieving this is difficult. Firstly, the long-distance range of electric vehicles is a problem. The reason gasoline-powered cars are the majority choice is because gas stations are ubiquitous and refueling is convenient. Electric vehicles require unique charging stations, and charging takes a long time, making them inconvenient for travel.

Secondly, the stability of energy-powered vehicles hasn't been resolved. Excessive current can cause spontaneous combustion, even during charging. The underlying technical challenges are extremely difficult to overcome. This initial foray is risky, but once successful, the potential profits are enormous.

The fact that such a real economy sector can receive policy subsidies is already a huge advantage, offering preferential treatment in various aspects. However, technical difficulties have prevented the emergence of energy-powered vehicles in mainland China; they remain largely a gimmick, with most vehicles still being gasoline-powered.

Both Zhao An and Huang Meng are large-scale businessmen. Once you get to one point, the rest is pretty much understood and doesn't require much explanation.

"It's just a consideration; I haven't started preparing yet. There are many ways to open up the market, but why be a pioneer? Heh, the first to try something new certainly makes a lot of money, but the risks are also considerable," Zhao An said with a sinister smile, seemingly intentionally giving a wake-up call.

Huang Meng's pupils widened instantly, as if he had thought of something terrifying. "Are you deliberately trying to get me to promote the leukemia drug?"

"You're not too stupid. Yes, you guessed right, but there's no reward." Zhao An ate large mouthfuls of beef and meatballs, disdainfully ignoring things like lobster and caviar. "Order fifty chicken leg burgers."

A hint of displeasure flashed through Huang Meng's mind. Was this an order? And fifty burgers cost less than a fraction of the price of caviar! He picked up his phone and said, "Order a hundred chicken leg burgers."

"Keep promoting it. Eventually, we'll crush them. Leukemia drugs don't actually make much money; a few hundred million a month isn't high profit." Zhao An was still humble. Making money was fine, but there was no need to be ruthless.

"You think my method is inhumane?" Huang Meng understood what he meant; it was a last resort.

"Keep it up. If you want to beat Huang Yu, you need some capital. Focus on developing the leukemia drug, and then turn the tables on them." Zhao An already had a way to control Bode Pharmaceuticals; these foreign companies were the easiest to deal with. Right now, he was just letting them advertise for him. When the hype was at its peak, he would strike with a better drug and drive them out of the market.

Good money drives out bad—that's a natural market rule. This wasn't Zhao An being despicable; it was simply the law of the jungle. You can't criticize what you've already beaten? Are you going to try to reform them with love? Don't be silly, it's unnecessary and a waste of time and emotion.

"You're really despicable." Huang Meng wiped his cold sweat with a towel. He only now realized that his opponent was such a cunning fellow. "You've already researched the drugs, haven't you?"

"Heh, actually not. Anyway, I can win. You guys can keep jumping around." Zhao An didn't care about such things. He wasn't short of money; he could hold off on betting until the market situation became clear, then strike hard and take over the market in one fell swoop, rather than fish in troubled waters.

At this moment, the waiter pushed in a food cart, placed the prepared hamburgers on the table, mechanically placing the items without saying a word.

Zhao An unceremoniously picked up the hamburger and started eating. After sleeping with so many women in a row, it was time to replenish his energy.

Huang Meng's heart sank. "So you've come to me tonight to discuss something with me?"

"I'm not planning on cooperating with you. We'll see how you perform later. You think giving me your wife to fuck is enough? I'm not that quick to forget our grudge, you idiot. Wait until you can withstand your older brother's advances before we talk. Also, figure out a way to get out of here soon. If things get out of hand, you won't be able to handle it." Zhao An devoured twenty hamburgers in a minute, without stopping, wolfing them down.

The hamburgers from the five-star hotel were indeed quite good, very delicious, but that was all. Zhao An didn't care about the taste, only about the quantity and whether it would provide any nutrition. Semen production requires nutrition, which is why he gets hungry easily.
