Chapter 1907 Benino
Seeing that Mr. Chu Heng, a mysterious wizard, was willing to learn about his affairs, the man could not help but feel happy, and he immediately poured out the whole story like beans from a bamboo tube.
“You should also know that the mainstream styles of Citi and even the European and American automobile industries are muscle cars. They pursue large displacement, high horsepower, and exaggerated styling. These cars are full of useless designs. I don’t consider comfort and practicality at all.”
“But my design concept focuses on energy saving, economy, comfort, etc. It was exactly the opposite of the mainstream philosophy, and it was not recognized by the company's board of directors, so I was kicked out."
The man shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face: "And not only did the board of directors not agree with my philosophy, Investors are not optimistic either. As you can see, I have visited many people, but no one is willing to invest in me.”
"Sorry, forgive me for being unreasonable." After hearing his words, a middle-aged man standing next to Chu Heng interjected with some surprise: "I understand your pursuit of comfort and economy, but why should you pay attention to energy conservation? ?Although I am a layman, I can roughly understand the selection process. If you can, you will lose power. Nowadays, oil is not that expensive. Who would be willing to buy such a slow car just to save a small amount of money on oil?”
The man listened to this question. There are too many, after all, the mainstream of European and American cars now is to work hard to create miracles.
Energy saving?
The same joke.
Who would consider this issue when faced with oil, which is only slightly more expensive than water.
"Yes, sir, it seems that considering energy saving is indeed a design that is not suitable for the public at present." Faced with the doubt, the man replied calmly: "But what I am looking at is not now, the market I am targeting is in the future."
“I don’t know if you have paid attention to the current international situation. Now those oil-producing countries are very dissatisfied with the extremely low price of US$1.80 per barrel, which is only half the price of coal, and they have been asking for price increases. However, oil companies refused to respond to price increase demands. Concession, the current contradiction between the two sides has become increasingly acute. In my opinion, this contradiction is irresolvable, so conflicts will definitely break out in the future, and the price of oil will definitely rise. By that time, the automobile market will definitely be biased toward energy conservation and economy. "Conflict?"
The wealthy people around Chu Heng, including Chrissy, seemed to have heard some fantasy. Showing the arrogance and pride of being a citizen of the most powerful country.
“Do those guys who can’t even put on shoes have the guts to challenge us?”
"Pfft... Please forgive me, I just can't help it. Haha, your joke is really funny."
"You remind me of a Chinese fable called... Well, unfounded worries, Is this it, Chu?”
Everyone found the man’s prediction ridiculous.
Where are most of the major oil-producing countries in the world now?
Desert!
How dare those small ant-like countries provoke Citigroup? Dare to challenge the Five Eyes Alliance?
Dissatisfied?
I am also holding back my dissatisfaction!
This is the confidence coming from the most powerful country.
Facing the mocking words of these people, the man was not angry. He had long been used to it. He smiled helplessly and had no intention of arguing with them anymore.
Because it makes no sense.
Besides, Chu Heng did not smile. He looked at the man in front of him in surprise, and looked at him carefully again.
Chu Heng comes from a later generation of the information explosion. Although he has no special knowledge of the history of this period, he occasionally browses Douyin and watches movies, and he can absorb more or less information.
So, he vaguely remembered that an oil crisis would break out in about seven years, which would have a profound impact on the global economy, politics, and culture. Among these impacts, one must mention the automobile industry, which is very dependent on oil. Many ostentatious luxury cars disappeared due to the oil crisis, and a new generation of cars that are more practical and compact gradually occupied the market.
The Citi government even implemented a nationwide speed limit to save gas!
This shows how great the impact of this oil crisis is.
At this moment, Chu Heng stared at the man with his eyes. He was surprised by the man's farsightedness and his ability to predict the oil crisis several years in advance.
Immediately, he said calmly: "Ah, look at me, I have been talking for so long and I still don't know your name. It's really rude."
"I am the rude one. , no name was announced, my name is Benino Rey, you can call me Benino, Mr. Chu, that’s what my friends call me,” the man said quickly.
Benigno Rey?
There was a hint of undetectable doubt in Chu Heng’s eyes.
He was very sure that Benigno Rey had no reputation in the automotive field in later generations.
So, he did not succeed in starting a business in the end? Or maybe it didn’t attract investment?
Thinking of this, Chu Heng, who originally had the idea of investing in the man, hesitated.
He didn't know why this person would fail in the future, and he was worried that his investment would be in vain, but he didn't want to let go of such an excellent opportunity to get involved in the automobile industry.
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Heng decided to take a gamble.
Anyway, the money in his hands is easy to come by. If he loses it, he will lose it. There will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future.
As a result, the corners of Chu Heng’s mouth slowly rose, and he stepped forward to take Benino’s arm warmly and cordially: “I quite agree with what you said, can you tell me about your business? Plan? If you can impress me, I will convince the company’s shareholders to invest some money in you.”
Bennino, who was about to find an excuse to leave and continue to attract investment, raised his head in surprise: "Of course, of course."
"Oh, God."
Chrissy's eyes widened when he heard this, and he hurriedly advised: "No way, Chu, you actually believed what he said? I think you might as well invest your money in us New movie."
"I also think this is a bad investment plan. I advise you to be more cautious," the old man who had a good conversation with him also advised.
"Thank you for your kindness, but isn't investing just a gamble?" Chu Heng said with a smile: "The future described by Mr. Rey is very tempting, so I want to take a gamble. If I win, , This will be a reward tenfold and a hundredfold.”
“Sorry, I’ll excuse you for a moment.” He bowed to these people apologetically, and walked towards the quiet rest area with Benino.
"He is simply crazy." Chrissy looked at the backs of the two men and shook his head.
The others looked at each other with mocking expressions on their faces.
"This Mr. Chu...haha."
"What a bold investment."
"Come on, I think you are stupid, to be so easily I’m convinced, I originally wanted to cooperate with him, but now it seems that I have to reconsider.”
No one was optimistic about Benino, and Chu Heng was called a fool because of this.
