Chapter 391 When it comes to verbal battles, I, Hao Qiang, am not afraid!
After watching the auto show video of Future Cars, Fengdian Auto’s CEO publicly commented in the media: “Electric vehicles are just transitional products and are pseudo-new energy.
The real environmentally friendly energy source is hydrogen energy, which only produces water when burned."
As early as 1992, Fengdian began research on hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
After 20 years of dedicated research and development, in 2014, Fengdian finally launched the first generation of Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, making its global debut.
However, this product, which took twenty years to develop, only sold 10,000 units in the end.
The Mirai is equipped with three hydrogen storage tanks with a total capacity of 5.6kg of hydrogen.
However, some serious accidents that followed were worrying.
The power of a hydrogen tank explosion is comparable to that of TNT. Not only will it be difficult for the car owner to escape in time, but the surrounding people will also inevitably be affected.
Theoretically, a 70Mpa hydrogen storage tank is very safe. The carbon fiber tank wall can withstand an internal high pressure of 70Mpa, and a pressure of at least 140Mpa is required from the outside to break it.
When a vehicle is driving normally on the road, even a heavy truck collision cannot generate such extremely high squeezing force.
However, what if the hydrogen storage tank is unsuitable due to manufacturing reasons or other reasons and causes the explosion?
Ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries are developing very well, but Fengdian seems unwilling to change its mind. The top management is stubborn and obsessed with hydrogen fuel cell technology.
Of course, the general direction is gambling, and their ideas are not wrong.
It’s just that this general direction is not easy to follow.
Hao Qiang has conducted in-depth research on the safety issues of hydrogen fuel vehicles.
Safety performance is indeed difficult to guarantee.
It may be safe for normal use, but once an accident occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable and the risks are too great.
Some people even joked online that if this type of car were sold in Zhongdong, some extremists might regard it as a mobile bomb and drive it wherever they wanted to bomb.
Even if Hao Qiang has the ability to develop hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, he currently has no intention of getting involved in this field.
Future Technology Group has invested heavily in ternary lithium batteries, which will inevitably lead to conflicts of interest with other power battery technologies.
Therefore, it is only a matter of time before ternary lithium batteries compete with other types of batteries.
In addition, Fengdian Automobile's global sales ranked first, slightly higher than Volkswagen, reaching 800 million vehicles last year!
This is a giant in the automotive industry!
Future Technology Group's development of new energy vehicles will inevitably lead to competition with Fengdian.
It can be said that Future Cars has not only formed an opposition with the luxury brands BBA, but now also with Fengdian.
There is no way. In the future, even if cars don’t provoke competitors, they will be hit anyway.
The automobile market is a huge pie, but for large automakers, every competitor counts, and they would love to swallow it all.
On the morning of November 7,
Hao Qiang saw that the remarks made by Fengdian Automobile CEO were actually directed at future cars and lithium batteries.
At present, future cars around the world mainly use ternary lithium batteries as power batteries.
Since he has already run into trouble, there is no need for him to be polite.
It has been a long time since I last argued with anyone. Coincidentally, a media reporter interviewed him and Hao Qiang said, "Fuel vehicles talk about oil volume, lithium batteries talk about power, and hydrogen energy talks about equivalent.
It can be said that hydrogen-powered cars are walking TNT.
I can't imagine having a hydrogen car parked in the basement of my office building.
Suddenly one day, boom, the supporting columns nearby are blown off, and everyone in the entire building is doomed."
The media reporter's eyes widened: "Mr. Hao, are you referring to Fengdian Automobile's hydrogen-powered car?"
Hao Qiang said with a serious expression: "No, don't get me wrong, I mean hydrogen-powered cars!
It’s not brand specific.”
The media reporter smiled. This was a huge amount of information.
You didn't specifically mention Fengdian Automobile, but everyone who heard you knew what you meant, and the implication was self-evident.
If this were reported, it would definitely cause a sensation and become big news.
As expected, Hao Qiang’s interview was published in the newspaper that day.
As the reporter expected, major portals competed to reprint the article, sparking heated discussions in the country.
At the same time, the safety of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles has once again become the focus of attention both inside and outside the industry.
The incident quickly spread to the international public opinion field.
Foreign media reported Hao Qiang's remarks, sparking widespread discussion in the global automotive industry.
Some experts have begun to delve into the safety issues of hydrogen vehicles, while supporters have emphasized the potential advantages of hydrogen fuel technology.
One netizen commented: "I didn't expect Hao Qiang to have such a sharp tongue. He said hydrogen energy is about equivalents and hydrogen-powered cars are just walking TNT!"
Another netizen commented: "Fengdian CEO has already sprayed Hao Qiang in the face, and he won't let Hao Qiang fight back.
But Hao Qiang is right, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are really dangerous."
"The battle between Hao Qiang and Fengdian's CEO is a battle between lithium-ion battery cars and hydrogen fuel cell cars, a battle between new automotive forces and traditional ones."
"We support lithium battery vehicles, as they are reliable, safe and reliable at present.
Hydrogen tanks are really dangerous, three on one truck, oh my god."
"Anyway, I won't buy a hydrogen fuel cell car. I'm scared just by hearing about it."
"Lithium battery vehicles are just as dangerous, but they are certainly far less dangerous than hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. A hydrogen tank explosion is no small matter."
"The country should ban the import of Fengdian's hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Lithium battery vehicles are sufficient."
……
On the same day, Hao Qiang's remarks quickly spread to the island country, triggering strong protests from local people.
Fengdian Automobile, the pride of the nation, was subjected to such comments. They considered it a blatant slander and demanded that Hao Qiang make a public apology.
Otherwise, they will resist future cars.
Fengdian's CEO did not expect his comments to provoke such a fierce rebuttal from Hao Qiang, and he publicly stated again: "I believe that ternary lithium batteries are not necessarily safer than hydrogen fuel cells, and are not as environmentally friendly as the latter.
If discarded ternary lithium batteries are not handled properly, they will cause serious heavy metal pollution."
At the same time, Fengdian’s CEO responded on behalf of the company.
In a statement, the company said it has always attached great importance to the safety of hydrogen-powered vehicles and elaborated on their strict standards in safety design and testing.
This response not only demonstrated Feng Dian's confidence, but also cleverly kicked the ball back to Hao Qiang.
The next morning,
Hao Qiang's secretary reported to him the latest comments from Fengdian CEO.
After reading it, Hao Qiang responded bluntly:
"Speaking of pollution, a certain country secretly discharged nuclear waste water, polluting the Pacific Ocean, and even exported contaminated seafood to my country. Is this trying to poison our country's future?
As for the recycling of ternary lithium batteries, Future Technology Group has the ability to handle it. Besides, this is not a problem and has nothing to do with passenger safety.
Unlike hydrogen fuel cells, they not only directly endanger the safety of passengers, but also affect the safety of people around them and damage buildings.
Of course, I do not deny that ternary lithium batteries have the risk of combustion, but unlike hydrogen fuel cells, they do not have the risk of violent explosion like TNT.
If the hazard level of ternary lithium batteries is rated 10 points, then the hazard level of hydrogen fuel cells is at least 120 points.”
The focus of the discussion is different. One is environmental protection, so what does that have to do with passengers.
Passengers are concerned about their own safety.
Hao Qiang dare not say that ternary lithium batteries are not dangerous, this is a well-known problem.
If an accident happens one day, competitors will definitely bring up the past.
It is better to reveal your weaknesses to make your words seem more real instead of exaggerating.
If you say you are good at everything, ordinary people won't believe you.
Both sides are business tycoons. Although they are fighting, their arguments are based on facts and they will not insult each other's personalities at will.
It's different from the way ordinary people curse on the street.
There will definitely be more verbal battles like this between competitors in the future.
However, in this round, Fengdian’s CEO avoided the main issue and was retorted by Hao Qiang again.
Of course, Fengdian Automobile Company is so large that its public relations are no pushover.
Next, there will definitely be a lot of public relations articles, one to defend hydrogen fuel cells, and the other to criticize ternary lithium batteries.
However, Hao Qiang was too lazy to argue anymore and just let the public relations department handle it.
What needs to be said has been said: hydrogen fuel cells cannot survive in China.
If Hao Qiang falls into a cycle of verbal battles and wastes time on upgrading, then he would be a real fool.
One day, he will definitely defeat Feng Dian.
Even if it cannot be eliminated, it will make the car company feel uncomfortable.
Hao Qiang's sharp response further pushed the debate to a climax.
At the same time, other new energy vehicle manufacturers also took the opportunity to speak out.
Some lithium-ion battery car manufacturers have emphasized the safety and maturity of their products in an attempt to gain a favorable position in the debate.
There are far more manufacturers using lithium batteries than hydrogen fuel cells.
So, Hao Qiang has been in an advantageous position since the beginning.
The remarks made by Hao Qiang and Fengdian's CEO not only sparked technical controversy, but also triggered broader discussions, including new energy policies, environmental protection, and industrial development strategies.
The entire automotive industry has become more active because of this debate.
What started as a simple interview eventually evolved into a global debate about the future of automotive energy technology.
It is also quite destructive.
The altercation between Hao Qiang and Fengdian’s CEO directly caused hydrogen fuel cell stocks to fluctuate, falling 9% in two days.
The bosses of these listed companies kept crying out for justice: "When the big guys fight, ordinary people suffer."
In particular, Hao Qiang’s final reply made the public wonder whether the seafood imported from the island country was really contaminated.
Some people actually took it for testing and found that there was a high probability that there was something wrong with the seafood from the island country.
The media subsequently reported on it.
This has directly affected the sales of imported seafood from the island country, and many citizens are unwilling to buy seafood imported from the island country.
The seafood merchants from the island nation and Hua country were worried: "Hao Qiang, you can just scold Fengdian, why did you drag our seafood market into trouble?"
Generally speaking, both sides suffer losses when fighting.
There will be a slight impact on future cars, but it may be difficult for future cars to operate in island countries.
However, it is within Hao Qiang's acceptable range.
It will not be easy to sell cars to island countries in the future.
Fengdian Hydrogen Energy Vehicle will be the most affected. At least it will be impossible for it to sell hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in China, and its competitor Honda Motor will also take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
In addition, the island nation's seafood has been severely damaged, and they hate Hao Qiang so much.
