Missing!

With such advanced technology, they only produced one model of car, and only ten units were sold per day!

Fukuda Kosuke has a great disdain for those limited-edition luxury cars. What's the use of a car if it's priced high but has low sales volume?

Rolls-Royce sells only about 4,000 cars a year, with an annual turnover of just over a billion US dollars. Lamborghini is about the same, while Ferrari sells more, with annual sales of over 8,000 cars and a turnover of over three billion US dollars.

However, compared to Fūtián, the gap is huge.

Although each of Fūtián Motors is not expensive, costing only tens of thousands of dollars, its sales volume far exceeds that of luxury car brands that frequently offer limited editions and customized models. Each of its models achieves annual global sales of hundreds of thousands or even millions of vehicles, with total annual sales exceeding five million vehicles and annual revenue of over two hundred billion US dollars, which is dozens or even hundreds of times that of these top luxury car brands!

Although the "Knight" is priced higher than those top luxury cars, based on the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company sells ten cars a day, its annual sales revenue is less than 20 billion, which is still more than ten times lower than theirs.

You clearly possess world-class automotive technology, yet you don't know how to use it. It's a waste of your potential. Let our Fūtián Group help you make it shine!

Although Fūtián Group's products used to cover the low, medium and high-end markets, it has never achieved much in the luxury car sector and has never been able to gain a foothold.

This time, using the technology of S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, they will develop a top-of-the-line luxury car belonging to the Fūtián Group. However, they will not engage in any limited-edition or order-based tricks. They will offer the car in an open supply, just like other models, so that customers can buy it whenever they want.

Moreover, they wouldn't set the price so outrageously. How many people in the world can afford a car that costs five million? Even if everyone bought one, how many would there be?

It's important to know that the higher the price, the lower the sales volume, and vice versa.

Fūtián takes a purely commercial approach, with the goal of maximizing profits. They will set a price that most wealthy people can afford, based on costs and while ensuring sufficient profits. Once the quantity is high, making money is easy, and costs can be continuously reduced.

Thinking that once the "Knight" technology was acquired, the Fūtián Group would experience rapid development and establish itself as the dominant force in the automotive industry, what did waiting a little longer matter compared to that? So Fukuda Kosuke stopped rushing and patiently waited for news from the United States.

But seven or eight hours passed, until midnight. It was already dawn in Los Angeles, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company was about to start work, but there was still no news. This time, without Fukuda Kosuke's urging, Yada Hideo had been waiting anxiously, grabbed his phone, which had been silent all night, and proactively dialed the relevant personnel in the United States.

Yada Hideo first gave a stern rebuke, then began to inquire about the progress of the spy operation, but the answer he received made his expression change drastically.

After he hung up the phone, Fukuda Kosuke on the other end couldn't wait to ask.

"How's it going?!"

"We... we failed!"

Yada Hideo put down his phone dejectedly, muttering to himself with a lost and dejected expression.

"What?!"

Fukuda Kosuke suddenly stood up, glaring angrily at Yada Hideo and shouting.

"What happened?"

"Our spies infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company early last night, but they haven't returned or sent any news by the time the company started work this morning."

Yada Hideo spoke, he glanced at Fukuda Kosuke's increasingly flushed face and continued.

"Furthermore, according to our observations, there were no abnormalities after S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company resumed work. It seems that there was no intrusion or loss of any documents."

"You mean to say that the spies we sent not only failed to complete their mission and steal the information, but also mysteriously disappeared into thin air!"

Fukuda Kosuke glared at Yada Hideo, his eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep or anger, and said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, yes!"

Fukuda Kosuke felt his blood rushing to his head, and his vision blurred. He had just been dreaming of dominating the automotive industry after obtaining the "Knight" technology, but now all his expectations had been met with this result, which was hard for Fukuda Kosuke to accept.

The immense psychological shock caused Fukuda Kosuke great distress. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, his vision went black, and he fainted. His body, which had stood up in anger, fell backward. Fortunately, the chair was sturdy enough that he did not fall to the ground.

"President!"

"President!"

"Someone, call Ratchet quickly!"

"Quick, the president should have some medicine on him!"

Fukuda Kosuke was confident of victory, suffered a heart attack due to the failure of his spy operation and was hospitalized. However, the operation against S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company did not stop there. Lying in his hospital bed and breathing oxygen, Fukuda Kosuke did not give up his desire for the technical data of "Knight" and his ambition to dominate the automotive industry with it. He strictly ordered Yada Hideo to obtain the technical data of "Knight" by any means necessary!

After returning to the company, Yada Hideo conducted an in-depth investigation into the events of that night, first confirming that their spies had not escaped after obtaining the technical data.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company showed no signs of being hacked or losing important core technical data. They remained completely calm, neither calling the police nor increasing security measures.

He mobilized all his resources but could not find any trace of the spy.

Yada Hideo speculated that their spies had most likely been eliminated!

Ultimately, a new discovery confirmed his hypothesis.

According to reports from United States. intelligence personnel, S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company replaced a glass panel on the fifth floor of its office building that day.

The fifth floor of the office building was precisely where their target R&D department was located!

Their observation revealed that the replaced glass only had incomplete cutting marks.

In other words, the spy they sent out was killed before he could even enter the building, and his body was never found.

Yada Hideo admitted that he had underestimated S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, or rather, Chen Mo behind it. He hadn't expected that behind the seemingly lax security, there was an even more stringent defense force.

Yada Hideo can basically conclude that the spy has been dealt with!
