A Brewing Storm!
The major automotive groups' original low-end, mid-range, and even ordinary high-end markets have not been affected much.
After all, only a minority of people can afford to spend five or ten million to buy a car, but the loss of the top-of-the-line car market is still unacceptable to major car companies.
These top-of-the-line models, often costing millions, are proof of their brand strength and also account for a significant portion of their annual profits. Naturally, they are not willing to accept that a large portion of their profits has been so easily taken away.
The previous probing public opinion offensive failed because Chen Mo's meticulous plan left them with no leverage.
At the time, Chen Mo could only be considered a potential threat. They originally planned to deal with him slowly, but no one expected that this threat would become a reality so quickly. The car model was launched just three days after its debut, and reservations were made online for sale.
Now, Chen Mo and his S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, along with that dark horse "Knight," have genuinely infringed upon their interests and disrupted the original stable automotive landscape. They will never sit idly by and watch the interests that rightfully belong to them be snatched away by others!
Moreover, this is only the first model launched by S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company. Right now, it has only seized their top-tier car market. So, will this emerging company, which has suddenly risen to prominence and has technological reserves far exceeding their expectations, continue to seize their high-end, mid-range, and even low-end car markets?
Given the technological prowess demonstrated by S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, if they truly intend to do so and put it into practice, they will find it difficult to withstand the attack from this rapidly rising new company!
They absolutely cannot sit idly by and wait to be killed! Counterattack! They must counterattack!
No matter how powerful S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company is, it is just a small, newly established company with only one product, the "Knight". In terms of scale, overall strength, brand awareness, and consumer recognition, it cannot compare with established automotive groups, not to mention the enormous power they represent!
When they really get serious, taking down a small car company is a piece of cake!
A storm is brewing in the shadows, and it's anyone's guess when it will erupt around Chen Mo!
Chen Mo was not entirely unaware of this.
When Chen Mo decided to enter the automotive industry, he was already mentally prepared. If he wanted to develop, he would have to break the original power structure. The automotive market is only so big, and his own development would inevitably squeeze out the interests of others.
If you touch someone else's cake, you have to be prepared for a counterattack. And what Chen Mo wants to do is not just to gain a foothold in the car market!
If Chen Mo were just an ordinary person with money and skills, he would definitely be crushed by these powerful car groups.
But now, whatever methods the other side uses, let them use them!
Chen Mo has the confidence and the ability to meet any challenge!
For some time afterward, pre-orders for the Knight remained hot, with large numbers of people traveling from all over the country to Los Angeles every day just to personally experience this incredibly powerful supercar, as seen in the videos, at the Knight's test drive center.
As more and more people successfully bought the "Knight", more videos about the "Knight" appeared online, allowing people to more clearly feel the "Knight's" strength and charm. The daily pre-orders for the "Knight" are increasing steadily. If this trend continues, it really won't be long before it takes several years to get the car!
However, Chen Mo had already planned for this. A large amount of funds for the car purchase was transferred to the company's account, and the company's funds were more abundant than ever before. On the same day that the press conference ended, Chen Mo ordered Michael to start the construction of the car production line.
That's right, not buying, but building!
Chen Mo has a complete set of blueprints for building automobile production lines, the most important of which are the blueprints for manufacturing multi-joint robots and related supporting programs.
The entire automobile production line is mainly divided into four parts: stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly.
Besides essential basic equipment such as large stamping equipment and assembly lines, the most important part of achieving automated production compared to ordinary manual workshops is the use of transfer robots, welding and gluing robots, and painting robots to replace human labor in processes such as component transportation, picking, placement, welding, spraying, and assembly.
Although robotic arm manufacturing is quite different from automobile manufacturing, it is still within the scope of mechanical manufacturing and shares many commonalities.
These robots are no less technologically advanced than a car. Although a car is large, apart from the body, the most important parts are the power system, transmission system, control system, and other core components.
These large, multi-jointed robotic arms may seem simple in structure, but they actually require extremely high precision and have very complex control systems. However, none of these are problems for Chen Mo.
When Chen Mo first took over the company, he invested heavily in purchasing a large number of high-precision processing equipment. Producing the high-precision parts needed to manufacture robotic arms was not a problem. Larger robotic arm components could also be cast and machined. Other standard parts and components, such as servo motors, reducers, and PLCs, could be purchased directly from suppliers.
Chen Mo already had the most crucial, complex, and difficult-to-develop operation and control system, which he could simply copy.
As for assembling the robotic arm, that's not a problem at all. With the complete operating instructions provided by Chen Mo, the company's experienced technicians can easily handle the assembly of the robotic arm.
Therefore, manufacturing large, high-precision, multi-joint robotic arms is not difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company.
This is also why Chen Mo initially purchased Taylor Motors.
A mature automobile manufacturing company has a strong foundation and strength in all aspects, including technology, research and development, processing, production and manufacturing. They are able to produce a complex car. Therefore, with Chen Mo providing a complete set of blueprints and software, they can certainly produce many other products, not just multi-joint robots.
In addition to various large robotic arms used to replace human labor, there are also corresponding fully enclosed constant temperature spraying systems, motor drive systems, PLC integrated control systems, machine vision systems, safety control systems, servo systems, and so on. All the key systems necessary for the automation of the automotive automated production line were built by the R&D department after Chen Mo produced the drawings.
