Chapter 1026: The First Spontaneous Combustion of a New Energy Vehicle by a Planter (3)
In the Huahuajia conference room, all the executives who had been notified of the meeting were present, and today's meeting was mainly to hear a report on the first spontaneous combustion incident of a power lithium battery.
It can be said that the top management of Huazhuangjia attaches great importance to this matter. The spontaneous combustion of the power lithium battery not only caused the company's new energy vehicle business to lose the manufacturing cost of two vehicles.
They all remember the turbulent distrustful remarks. If it weren't for the boss's decisive action, the public opinion could be stabilized.
Although the painting style can be adjusted after the subsequent accident report comes out, the effect is definitely only as good as it is now.
The ones who will make reports today are Liu Yang from the power lithium battery department and Chen Yanfeng, general manager of the automobile industry subsidiary.
"Boss, leaders, after the spontaneous combustion incident came out, we immediately contacted the car owner and arranged for people to investigate the cause of the accident.
We inspected the battery pack and found that the cause of spontaneous combustion was excessive moisture content in the battery pack.
Water can react with the electrolyte in the core of the battery to generate gas. During charging, the reaction produces oxidizing power and decomposes the gas.
Even if there is no spontaneous combustion this time, if water enters the battery pack, the structural parts and connectors inside the battery system will be corroded, resulting in a decrease in insulation performance, or even causing the battery to short-circuit and catch fire..."
Liu Yang used a lot of professional terms and explained the reason why the lithium battery spontaneously ignited this time. Chen Changliu looked at him and said:
“You mean our battery pack is defective in terms of waterproofing?
But I remember I reminded you before, and after actual testing, there are requirements for the waterproofing of battery packs.
So who can tell me which link has the problem? "
At this time, Chen Yanfeng took the initiative to stand up.
"Mr. Chen, we still need time to investigate these links, and we will not evade our responsibilities.
But during our investigation, we discovered a lot of strange things.
According to normal logic, when this kind of thing happens, we must contact our 4S store as soon as possible, but we didn't.
We took the initiative to contact him after seeing the video online. It was already 3 hours since the accident happened.
Nothing can be seen from the background data, but during our on-site inspection we found that the car definitely had signs of being soaked in water for a long time before it spontaneously ignited.
However, according to our understanding of the local area, there was no rain above moderate rain level in the area in the week before the spontaneous combustion incident.
Moreover, the place where this car owner lives is not a low-lying place that is easily flooded, so why is this car soaked in water for a long time?
I think there is something wrong here! "
Chen Yanfeng's words made all the executives at the scene look grim. Feng Xiao said with murderous eyes:
"Are you saying this was a man-made spontaneous combustion incident?"
“I have no evidence now, because the battery pack is so badly burned that it’s difficult for us to tell.
But the irrational behavior of this car made me suspicious.
There are two possibilities now:
First, we did not do a good job in waterproofing, and the quality inspection was not strict enough during factory packaging. Others may have discovered this problem, so to solve this problem, there is the possibility of soaking the battery pack in water for a long time.
Secondly, if there is only a slight leakage of water in the battery pack, it will be difficult to tell even if it is man-made when it is burned beyond recognition. After all, the people who can do these things are definitely people in the industry, and their skills are not bad. . "
The complexity of this spontaneous combustion incident did not surprise Chen Changliu. It does not mean that he knew that this spontaneous combustion incident was man-made.
But when new energy vehicles came on the market, he was already mentally prepared, because no matter how dirty things are, there are people who can do it, and sometimes there is no bottom line in the market.
He looked at Legal Director He Chunming and said:
"What do you think, can a case like this be reported, and is the evidence enough to constitute a criminal offence?"
He Chunming thought for a while and said:
“If we go by what Mr. Chen said, there is suspicion, but we have no evidence.
Of course we can also report the crime, but every move we make is watched. If no matter what the police concludes after reporting the crime, these competitors will definitely hype up the matter.
The hype is that we don't want to be responsible for accidents, and we want to pass the blame to the car owners, and they are the kind of people who want to settle accounts later, so our reputation will plummet by then.
Therefore, I suggest that you hire a more professional company to do the accident appraisal and wait until the results come out to make the best decision. "
Chen Changliu nodded, finally thought about it and said:
"Spontaneous combustion incidents have a great impact on new energy vehicles, so after returning home, the power lithium battery department, packaging factories, automobile industry subsidiaries, etc. formed a joint investigation team to find out which link caused the problem.
Also, speed up the cost research on IP68 waterproof level, IP 67 is still not enough..."
Chen Changliu’s auction version clarified how this matter was handled. He Chunminghui, director of the legal department, reported:
"Boss, we have fixed the chain of evidence for the purpose of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
There are two millionaire v-bloggers who are extremely shady and have no bottom line. We will launch a lawsuit against them and ask them to compensate and apologize at the same time.
We will also formally send a lawyer's letter to six of the big V bloggers with hundreds of thousands of fans who used specific words to discredit the company, and apply to the relevant self-media platforms to block their accounts........"
Just when everyone was sighing at the sudden change in the wind direction because of the swift and decisive action of the flower-growing family, a week after the spontaneous combustion incident, the flower-growing family issued another announcement.
This time, this announcement was like a heavy bomb for the self-media car bloggers, which made some people tremble.
"Our company has found that during this period of time, there have been organized acts of smearing and slandering our company on major self-media platforms.
Among them, the big V bloggers "Grandpa Talks Cars" and "Xiao Ma Talks Cars" and other two car bloggers spread rumors and slander on the self-media platforms without basis and facts, which caused extremely bad influence and losses to our company.
Our company has filed a lawsuit with the court.
As six auto bloggers including "Lao Tan Auto" conducted subjective and random evaluations of our products, our company will send a lawyer's letter to the six people, requiring them to delete the videos that defamed our products and apologize, otherwise..."
In the entire announcement, some of the most serious videos of several people defaming Zhonghuajia's products were also cited.
If it were just like this, it might not have much deterrent effect on these self-media bloggers.
But two days later, someone revealed that the two bloggers sued by Zhonghuajia had been subject to a pre-litigation property preservation of 5 million by Zhonghuajia.
All of a sudden, those self-media bloggers knew that Zhonghuajia was serious, after all, they had played like this in the past few years.
It's just that in the past few years, as long as the criticism of Zhonghuajia is not too extreme, Zhonghuajia basically doesn't bother to pay attention, which will make these people selectively forget.
