Of course, in addition to doing this for the sake of the earth, Qilin's other purpose is to make huge profits. This is an undeniable and unnecessary fact.

...

Because most of the guests are auto parts manufacturers, the replacement of fuel vehicles by electric vehicles will not have a big impact on them, but environmental pollution is real to them.

No one wants to face the end of the world when they are old, or that their children and grandchildren will have to face the end of the world, otherwise it will be of no use no matter how much money they make.

Of course, for other car companies, switching between the two will not have a great impact on them, because they can also make profits by switching, but how to do it needs to be carefully considered.

Therefore, many guests started talking about it.

"Electric vehicles may not be more environmentally friendly than fuel vehicles, right? Don't power stations also cause pollution?"

"If coal and fuel are used to generate electricity, it is certainly not environmentally friendly. What if nuclear power plants are used to generate electricity in the future?"

"The pollution caused by nuclear power plants is not small. Don't forget about Chernobyl."

"In addition to these types of power generation, there are also solar, wind and hydropower that can generate electricity. Overall, it is very environmentally friendly."

"The power generation methods you mentioned are indeed environmentally friendly, but they are not mainstream power generation modes."

"Then we can turn these methods into mainstream power generation methods."

...

"Some people may ask whether electric vehicles are really environmentally friendly? Because everyone knows that the current mainstream power generation system uses coal and oil to generate electricity. The pollution caused by power plants is no less than car exhaust.

I can tell you responsibly that the answer is yes, because with the development of technology, there will be more and more ways to generate electricity.

Green energy will replace traditional energy, which also means that electric vehicles are the future.

Of course, this conversion process will take a long time, ten or twenty years to complete, but it will also take such a long time for electric vehicles to develop.

So why don’t we get involved in this industry at this time to study this thing?

When there is a need to switch in the future, I believe everyone will be able to come up with the product as soon as possible.

This is also the purpose of Qilin Group organizing this meeting, to look forward to the future with everyone," Lai Ping said.

After Lai Ping's speech, some environmentalists began to applaud, and others joined them in applauding.

Some car company bosses also strongly agree with Lai Ping's statement.

If we get involved in researching electric vehicles at this time, when we need to switch to fuel vehicles in the future, we will be able to come up with products as soon as possible.

In this way, they will also become the beneficiaries of this switch.

“I have to say that Qilin Group’s vision is really long-term.”

"Yes, it took decades for fuel vehicles to reach their current state, and it will take at least ten years for electric vehicles to develop. It is indeed a good time to intervene at this time."

"If the situation is really as Master Lai said, fuel vehicles will be phased out in less than 20 years, and by then the world will be dominated by electric vehicles."

"We will find out if this is what happened when we go back and investigate. I believe that Qilin will not deceive us by holding such a big meeting."

...

After a while, the audience fell silent.

"I believe many people have many questions about electric vehicles. I will first enter the question and answer session to answer your questions, and then we will continue with the rest of the meeting.

If you have any questions, please raise your hand." Lai Ping said with a slight smile.

In an instant, many people raised their hands. Lai Ping picked someone from the first row to ask a question. The audience in the first row were all from car companies.

"It's been a long time, Master Lai. I believe you still remember me. My name is Beate Kuhn. I come from Volkswagen in Germany. I am an engine designer. Master Lai, I would like to ask if there are any other products besides electric cars."

Let’s use less environmentally friendly and energy-saving methods.

For example, hydrogen fuel is a very good choice. The structure of hydrogen fuel is similar to that of a fuel vehicle.

Why don’t we study hydrogen fuel vehicles and join your electric vehicle alliance instead?” Beate Kuhn asked.

"Hydrogen fuel vehicles are indeed a good choice, but the research and development cost of hydrogen fuel is higher than that of electric vehicles, and the manufacturing cost of hydrogen fuel is not as energy-saving as direct charging of electric vehicles.

Hydrogen fuel also requires electricity to be converted, unless you can develop a conversion method that does not require electricity.

Also, hydrogen fuel is much more dangerous than electric vehicles," Lai Ping replied.

"Safety issues can be solved through technology, but hydrogen fuel is much more environmentally friendly than electric vehicles. Batteries are a very resource-consuming product, and batteries have a long life.

Once the battery life is over, these batteries will be eliminated. Although Kirin's cobalt-free battery is already very environmentally friendly, it consumes a lot of resources," Beate Kuhn said.

As early as the 1960s, some people were researching hydrogen fuel vehicles, but developing hydrogen fuel vehicles was more difficult than people imagined.

Everyone present nodded after hearing Beate Kun's words.

Hydrogen fuel will turn into water after being ignited. Water is a cyclic resource and is much more environmentally friendly than electric vehicles. Why don't we make hydrogen fuel vehicles instead of following your lead in making electric vehicles?

"Batteries are not non-recyclable products, and discarded batteries are not without a place to go. After the future energy transition to green energy, we will need to store these energy sources, so as to avoid the greatest waste of energy.

We can turn the discarded batteries into energy storage power stations, so that we can make the most of this thing and avoid wasting resources to the greatest extent.

We are already working on battery recycling and reuse technology. We believe that the resources consumed by batteries in the future will be well recycled. Moreover, we have already developed sodium-ion batteries.

The main raw material used in sodium-ion batteries is sodium. This raw material is the most abundant raw material in the world. Even if we use it for five or six hundred years, it will not be used up. Such a long time is enough for us to enter the next stage.

By that time, I believe electric vehicles may have been eliminated," Lai Ping said.

"Master Lai, according to what you said, with the advancement of technology, fuel vehicles can also achieve zero pollution." Beate Kuhn asked again.

"It is impossible for a fuel vehicle to achieve zero pollution. The pollution caused by converting oil into gasoline is no less than coal power generation. If you don't believe it, you can do statistics, and once there is an oil leakage accident during transportation,

, will definitely cause more serious pollution.

Because no one can guarantee that nothing will happen to oil during transportation," Lai Ping explained.

"Thank you, Master Lai, for your answer. You have completely convinced me." Beate Kuhn replied very seriously.
