"It seems the new plant and equipment setup has been completed, sir."

Isis reports: "Currently, connections are complete, and we can start debugging and trial operations."

In just ten days, after clearing all pollution, expanding the plant and installing equipment with the Tong family's full assistance, the once faltering Coastal Automobile Factory is ready again.

Renewed life.

During these ten days, even though Ji Jue was far away, he could still feel the continuous turmoil in Cliff City through messages from Ye Chun and Tong Shan.

Not just Cliff City, but from Cliff City to Tide City and the entire Hai Province, surrounding two large central cities, five small cities, endless settlements in the wilderness, and maritime routes...

The storm is rapidly spreading.

Now, on the crater, it has become the giant soon to be merged and reorganized by both parties, the Sea Tide Group.

In contrast, the Coastal Automobile Factory, formerly part of Coast Group, also became insignificant. It managed to hide behind the rocks, avoiding the storm, gaining crucial breathing time.

Now, everything is ready.

"Then let's turn up the heat, Isis."

Ji Jue glanced at the message on his phone and smiled: "It's time to prepare for the press conference."

Thus, at the beginning of the year, amidst uncertain moves, competitors fretting, and the situation full of intrigue, the Coastal Automobile Factory, which had silently resumed work after fifteen years, suddenly announced the press conference.

Accompanying it was the latest update posted on a newly registered public platform.

The content was just a few words and a link to the live stream:

[January 7, 6 PM!]

[We plan to make it big!]

Below was a half-concealed image, silhouettes of two cars, vaguely revealing the shapes of a van and a pickup truck... and even, leaves one speechless, the names and copy full of points of ridicule:

[Radishes and cabbage, each to their own taste!]

Due to insufficient influence, and beyond Hai Province, apart from 'stirring things up,' it had almost no reputation; sparking little discussion or waves except among invited media.

But even just a glimpse of the silhouettes made countless competitors instantly vigilant, barely breaking free from hectic maintenance, followed by a cold breath.

Damn it, waiting here, aren't you?!

We're screwed!

This time they're really coming for me!

After a long setup, the Coastal Automobile Factory finally draws its blade against the long-empty city transportation market and the external transportation market in Hai Province...

Recalling the prices and cost-performance of this crazy factory before, everyone couldn't help but feel a chilling sense that makes their hair stand on end.

No way, everyone builds factories, produces and sells products to make a living; no matter how much you discount and promote, ultimately you need profits, otherwise, why not do charity? That's even more profitable. Suddenly encountering such an opponent who only seeks to disrupt and mess up the market environment, along the way crush a few clueless unlucky folks...

Everyone, feeling a constant jolt inside, couldn't help but pay close attention.

Especially for car dealers owning the market and selling in Hai Province, encountering such an opponent who doesn't even bother pretending, just overturning tables, had sleepless nights.

While trying every method, racking brains to seek and gather information on this damn "radishes and cabbage," only to find... info was already all over the streets.

No concealment or secrecy whatsoever, not even caring about the press conference's effect.

Before the conference started, the specific models and configurations of the day were already printed into brochures, scattered all over the streets.

Not caring about any live effect, all mysteries thrown on the table from the start.

Ask me and I'll answer, everyone involved in R&D and trial production of new models didn't even sign confidentiality agreements, even treated spreading info as employee welfare, when bumping into someone looking like a reporter outside, just expose the brochure from their coat, only short of asking: "Bro, wanna see? Empire goods, the latest!"

So, everyone who got the info felt blind alongside confusion, with a trickle of luck and hope: aren't these things just Coast's ruse?

It's just building a car, you wouldn't be this absurd, right?

Right?

No one responded.

Only outside the conference, a huge poster with factory manager Ji Jue showed a meaningful smile to the camera.

Even attending reporters and social media bloggers were bewildered by this setup, like, buddy, what are you doing? Never been in such an absurd event.

Once the brochures were handed out, what's the need for a press conference?

Even the conference venue was chosen outside Cliff City in the wilderness at the factory zone, with buses from the company for transportation, direct at a newly completed workshop filled with machinery, wafting with engine oil scent.

An area was specially cleaned out in the spacious plant, with rows of chairs set.

If not for the banners and deliberate decor outside, everyone would think this was a factory organizing employee welfare to screen a movie.
