Just as Lu Zhou began his retreat, a series of earth-shaking events had already taken place outside.
Let's start with the small things.
The first new energy vehicle based on Lithium-Air Battery technology had successfully launched in Shanghai and entered the market.
Its terrifying range, twice that of Lithium-Sulfur Batteries, along with the Wireless Charging Technology built into its battery, sparked considerable discussion as soon as it was released.
What shocked people most was that the car came from a brand under BYD Group.
Most people who did not know the inside story had never expected an automaker focused on affordable brands and the mass market to get ahead of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen... and even Tesla, which also marketed itself around new energy vehicles.
The contrast truly left people with feelings that were difficult to put into words...
In comparison, Bibi Charging, BYD's offline partner that provided technical support for its wireless charging modules, had kept a much lower profile.
Since acquiring EVgo, Tesla's charging-pile business, Bibi Charging had achieved 85% coverage in Shanghai. Not only had it completed this year's performance targets ahead of schedule, but it had also begun expanding into Zhejiang Province and Su Province.
At the same time, Bibi Charging's logo had gradually begun appearing in large shopping malls across California.

Bibi Charging, which had quietly become the leader of Hua Nation's charging-pile industry, naturally would not let such a lucrative opportunity slip away.
Now that the small matters were out of the way, it was time for the big ones.
Just as Hua Nation's new energy industry was charging ahead, another breakthrough had emerged in a matter closely tied to people's transportation.
