Chapter 1025 - A Consensus View (2/2)

Not only would he gain political achievements but the benefits would also be visible. With such a big piece of cake in front of him, Minister Zhou couldn’t sit still.

“I will go back and study this proposal. This should be no problem!”

Since the Minister of Transportation assured him, then it was pretty much decided.

Soon, the assistant brought a copy of the “Provisional Regulations on the Management of the Magnetic Levitation Traffic in Xin” and handed it over to Minister Zhou.

The purpose of this trip was completed. With an important thought in his mind, Minister Zhou immediately bid farewell to Manager Guo.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the top floor office, Jiang Chen overlooked the car that left Future Building and finally burst out laughing.

He didn’t care about the income from the charging stations. The national grid would take the majority of the cake. The operating company would take a bite then regional finance and also the central government would also want a piece. Although he created the cake, only a small remained in the end.

What he really cared about was the fact that he would develop the standards.

If the charging stations of all highway service areas were replaced with wireless charging piles manufactured by Future Heavy Industries, then other competitors who wanted to enter the pure electric vehicle market would have to accept the standard set by Future Heavy industries and simultaneously pay a licensing fee and certification fee. Otherwise, the car owners would be in constant search for charging stations.

Indirectly, Future Heavy Industries established the standard and raised the barriers of entry and the cost of potential competitors. The benefits generated by this would be far greater than the operation of the charging stations themselves, but this wouldn’t be realized in the short term.

In addition, the service of charging stations would be linked to Future Technology’s service.

The user would only need to click on the button “Pure electric vehicle charging” in Future 1.0. The application would complete the charging service and retrieve payment based on the user’s GPS information.

Moreover, on the mobile phone, the user would also be able to view the electricity price of the nearby charging pile in real time. In the future, they wouldn’t need to have a bunch of cards and complete the operation completely card-free.

Back at the desk, Jiang Chen opened the holographic screen and called Yang Guanglei, the CEO of Future Heavy Industries. He informed him of the cooperation with First Motor and the necessity to expand the production line of wireless charging stations.

Not just on the highway, but all the parking lots in the city also required this infrastructure. If Hua was determined to implement “three-dimensional traffic,” then pure electric vehicles would enter a period of high growth.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen sank into the chair and stretched his body. Then he asked the assistant to pour out the tea for a cup of coffee.

But just now, there was a phone call from Kelvin.
