The Bund.
From time to time, a melodious whistle sounds.
Chairman Shi faced the river, leaning on the guardrail with his arms, looking at the sparkling river, picked up the can of beer, took a sip, and then exhaled happily.
Without bodyguards, she was alone.
After taking charge of Jin Hai, her net worth skyrocketed instantly and she landed on the rich list, becoming one of the most influential business women in China.
“It seems the order volume is good.”
Jiang Chen approached.
Seeing that this aunt seemed to be in a good mood, he was relieved. A lesson from the past can only be used as a guide. Once the other person is in a bad mood, she will always make trouble every time.
Of course.
In fact, he could have completely avoided the meeting and just pretended not to come back, but for some reason there was no "more trouble than less".
"It's rare that you can still find time to see me in your busy schedule." Shi Dong laughed at himself.
It seems that no matter how rich and beautiful the rich woman is, she will have her own troubles.
“It’s not taking time out, it’s a special trip.”
“Tsk, I’m a little uncomfortable with it.”
Jiang Chen has long been used to this way of getting along, so why not If Tian can communicate seriously, then it would be strange and confusing.
"Now are you celebrating?"
"How did you know?"
"Can you not know? A lot of money is spent on public relations, and it's all over the Internet It’s hard not to know your hot searches.”
“Go to hell.”
Shi Dong is still the same old guy, but Jiang Chen has already expected it. The moment he raised his foot, he avoided it lightly.
After all, it was on the Bund where people were coming and going. Dong Shi still took his image into consideration and stopped when he was right. He asked lazily: "Since you have seen our press conference, give me an evaluation. I want a fair evaluation."
< br>"Four words." Jiang Chen said solemnly: "Far ahead."
Shi Qianqian twitched the corner of her mouth, "She is quite knowledgeable."
Jiang Chen smiled.
Shi Qianqian carried the can: "We have been polishing this car for a long time. This is the first time Jinhai has built a car, and we must show some results."
"Online I've read the reviews. As long as Jinhai's production capacity can keep up, this car will definitely sell well. This kind of battery pack and fast charging technology are basically only seen in new energy cars with a price of 400,000 yuan, but you are only selling them now. Over two hundred thousand, are you sure you are not making a profit at a loss?"
Jiang Chen asked curiously.
When he accompanied the other party to Jiangcheng, he learned that Jinhai was in the field of new energy vehicles. Not long ago, Jinhai's first new energy vehicle was officially released.
"I am an entrepreneur, not a philanthropist. Losing money? This is not a small business, such a big project. Can I afford to lose money?"
"With the size of Jinhai, still You can afford it.”
Jiang Chen answered frankly.
Shi Qianqian was at a loss for words and ignored him, "Although the research and development costs are indeed not low, the departments related to the selling price have made careful calculations. It is impossible to lose money. It is just a little less profit."< br>
“Aren’t you trying to show off?”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but said: “Nowadays, some domestic trams seem to be sold for hundreds of thousands, and the technology is similar to your car.”
"So? If they sell for hundreds of thousands, and we sell for 200,000, we will definitely lose money?"
Shi Xixi said: "The most important products of new energy vehicles are batteries and Chips, and this part of the technology, are now becoming more and more mature. The more mature a technology is, the lower the cost will be. Unlike when it was first developed from 0 to 1, we were just enjoying the benefits.”
Jiang Chen suddenly understood and nodded in understanding, "So, you still have some conscience."
"No, I don't have one."
Shi Xixi shook the can, "Now New energy vehicles are like this. We, Jinhai, are building cars for the first time and we don’t have any advantages. If we want to open up the market, we can only rely on price wars. Otherwise, do you think I don’t want to set the price high?”
Jiang Chen smiled and then asked: "This should be the biggest project you have implemented since you took over Jinhai, right?"
"That's right."
Shi Xixi nodded.
“Originally, people have matured the market and opened up the Chinese market, so that new energy vehicles can also be sold at high-end prices. But if you play like this, it is like destroying all their efforts with one hammer. Aren't you afraid of becoming the target of public criticism? "
Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Jinhai is large and has a complete supply chain. It can call on hundreds of upstream and downstream suppliers to provide services at the same time, and achieve the ultimate cost reduction. It's different for other manufacturers. They have over-provisioned products but sell them at prices far below the market price. How can other manufacturers survive? "What does it have to do with me whether they survive?"
Shi Qianqian didn't take it seriously, looking at the Pujiang River that would never stop flowing, and said lightly: "I didn't sell the car at a loss. This is not vicious competition. At most, they are pushing the price down and making less money. That’s all.”
Jiang Chen sighed with a smile: “I should make more than a little less.”
“A car worth 600,000 yuan used to make 300,000 yuan, but now it probably doesn’t make 100,000 yuan. It doesn't matter much, right?" Shi Xixi wrote lightly, leaning against the wall.
Jiang Chen couldn't stop smiling, "Destroying someone's financial path is like killing their parents. Be careful that people join forces and make a price reduction agreement..."
The corners of Shi Qianqian's mouth curled up, and her smile was cold. "They have the ability, just go ahead and do it. It's up to them to decide the rules. Now the economic situation is so bad and the country wants to boost consumption, low price and high volume are the only way. A few battery packs are wrapped in iron sheets and sold in large quantities. One hundred thousand, the cost was high at that time, which is understandable, but now that the technology has matured, it is getting more and more expensive. Is it crazy?”
Jiang Chen said nothing.
“Since the state began to focus on new energy vehicles, domestic new energy vehicle manufacturers have begun to explode. Now the scale of the domestic automobile industry is six times that of Japan, and the total automobile production and sales have ranked first in the world for more than ten consecutive years. , with production and sales of more than 20 million units, do you know what this concept is? ”
A car is more than just a means of transportation.
It is a mass commodity of great significance.
And its role in economic development is almost irreplaceable.
For ordinary people, apart from houses, cars may be the largest expense in daily consumption. In order to compete for the huge market and improve competitiveness, cars are obtained through large-scale production and crazy cost reduction. Profit margins have resulted in automobile manufacturing becoming the industrial field with the most stringent production and management requirements in human society.
Car companies need to maintain their profits and capital turnover through strict cost control and efficient supply chain operations, otherwise they will not be able to survive at all. As a result, all the most advanced management models in the manufacturing industry will be transformed from large-scale Large-scale assembly line operations and later lean production were all created by the automobile industry.
Therefore, any country with a strong automobile industry will not have a weak overall industrial level. Metallurgy, rubber, chemicals, electronic equipment... building a car requires tens of thousands of parts, involving countless manufacturing fields. , as long as the automobile industry develops, it will drive the entire economic chain.
The core of a big country is manufacturing, and the core of manufacturing is automobiles.
Germany and Japan are good examples.
so.
If we want to become an industrial power, automobile manufacturing is a hurdle that must be overcome.
“Our current production and sales volume is nearly twice that of the second-placed United States, and almost six times that of the third-placed United States. In less than twenty years, we have become the well-deserved number one in the world. 1."
Shi Qianqian asked and answered
Jiang Chen nodded, "It's an amazing result."
"A large part of the reason for getting such a result. It is due to the country’s strong subsidies and support, coupled with our market size that ranks first in the world. We have a population of more than one billion and one car for ten people, which is also 100 million. Such a huge innate advantage has resulted in the growth of new energy vehicles over the years. We are not in the top spot yet. You think it’s funny?”
Jiang Chen remained silent.
“The domestic market is huge, with a dazzling array of new energy vehicle manufacturers. It seems like a hundred schools of thought are contending, but in fact, I don’t know how many companies are just trying to make up for the numbers. They just want to take advantage of the policy and plunder the country’s wool. It’s a time of comparison. It’s over, and there is no need for so many car factories now, so just let it die.”
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: “You are not afraid of being poked in the back. "
"Then let me put it another way."
Shi Qianqian immediately corrected herself and said: "Those car manufacturers have completed their historical tasks and can make a glorious curtain call and withdraw from the stage of the times."
Jiang Chen turned his head.
Hearing this now, how could he not be able to tell how angry this aunt was.
“You have such great ambitions when building a car for the first time. Are you not afraid of taking too big a step and flashing your waist?”
Shi Dong said, “With the scale of Jinhai, with the scale of China, market, please tell me, what kind of goal is reasonable?"
Jiang Chen was speechless.
"I have thought about it. If this step goes well and achieves certain results, I will also start to study interstellar spaceships. When the time comes, I will invite you to be the first experience officer."
Shi Dong said while drinking beer, with a serious face.
Jiang Chen was slightly emotional.
A person's power is limited after all. If a country or a nation wants to develop, it can never be achieved through the joint efforts of everyone.
“I’m kindhearted, I still prefer life on earth.”
Jiang Chen then said seriously.
“Are you sure?”
Shi Xixi looked at him, carrying the can, with a half-smile on her elegant and pretty face, “I thought you I really want to escape from the earth now."
Jiang Chen glanced at her.
“It’s quite hidden. I still have a green plum like this at home, but I don’t know how it tastes when mixed with plums.”
Jiang Chen didn’t react at first. It took me a moment to realize what this "plum" was referring to.
"Can you please stop talking nonsense? I have known each other since we were born. We live across the street from each other. My parents treat me as their son, just like the rest of the family."
Shi Qianqian moved Open your eyes, "There is no pure friendship between men and women."
"What about you and Yi Fei? Isn't it a pure friendship?"
Jiang Chen asked quickly.
“Of course.”
Shi Qianqian nodded without thinking, “In addition to being friends, Fat Tiger and I are actually more interested in each other.”
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.
Live so clearly.
Are you tired?
"Do you have any interest in that green plum of yours?"
Jiang Chen did not answer and changed the subject, "Have you met?"
"Not for the time being. No, your Qingmei rank is not low, so don’t worry.”
Not in a hurry?
What does it mean to not be in a hurry?
A black line appeared on Jiang Chen's forehead, "I'm here to work seriously."
"There are so many cities, so many companies, with her ability, she can't go anywhere, why? Do you have to go to Tianci?"
"Because Shu Rui invited her."
"Oh. If you don't tell me, I don't know yet."
"... ”
Jiang Chen smiled bitterly to himself.
This bitch is getting better and better at hurting people.
"I generally understand Li Shurui's thoughts, but is she too confident in herself?" Shi Qianqian seemed to be talking to herself.
"I admire you very much. You are so busy every day. The first car has just been launched, and you still have time to think about all these things."
"I don't want to think about it, but I can't control it."< br>
Shi Qianqian took a sip of wine, "How about you teach me how to control it."
Jiang Chen has always been the proactive one, but now he actually felt defeated.
“Accompany Aunt Meng to the temple more often.”
He replied calmly.
"Huh..."
A can flew over.
Fortunately it is empty.
Jiang Chen caught it, and then threw it into the trash can very ethically.
"Are you pretending to be tired?"
Shi Xixi looked at him with her chin in her hands.
“You only drank one bottle, right?”
Jiang Chen wondered if the aunt had already drank some before he came.
“Do you still remember the first time we met?”
Although he didn’t know why she suddenly asked this, Jiang Chen still nodded.
How could I not remember.
Eighty million diamonds will be smashed at will.
That was the first time in his life that he had a concrete understanding of the real top rich second generation.
“Do you still have contact with Mr. Sun?”
"..."
Shi Qianqian's expression froze.
Jiang Chen looked confused.
Did he say it wrong?
That should be right.
The first time we met, not only Li Shurui had passed away, but Sun Xiyu was also there, and then he attracted this aunt over.
“Go and ask Li Shurui.”
It was Jiang Chen’s turn to be silent.
“I’m not talking about that time.”
“That was the first time.”
Jiang Chen responded honestly.
Shi Xixi took a gentle breath, "I said it for the second time."
The second time?
Jiang Chen immediately shifted his gaze, looking at the river and the cruise ship on the river, "I don't remember."
"You said you are obviously not a polite person, why are you being so serious? .”
Jiang Chen, who has to throw a can into the trash can, has two heads.
“If I give you another chance, would you still dare?”
The word “dare” has a profound meaning.
“I really don’t remember.”
“Okay, if I have time, I’ll talk to your Qingmei. Isn’t she a lawyer? I just want to ask her for advice.”
Shi Qianqian sighed: "She and Li Shurui should be different. No matter what kind of person you are, even if you are a pervert, Li Shurui will not leave you, but that lawyer Fang..."
Jiang Chen interrupted, "Who are you calling a pervert? You are the pervert. In that situation, did I have a better way?"
"Didn't you remember it? Did you remember it again?"
Jiang Chen had no choice but to ask, "Can we not talk about the past?"
Shi Qianqian tilted her head, "Have you ever mentioned our story to Li Shurui?"
"..."
"Have you ever beaten her?"
"..."
"Have you ever taken a photo of her?"
What a photo!
Jiang Chen couldn't bear it anymore, "It's getting late, let's go back."
