Chapter 360 Xiao Jinhua's Hope for Sudden Wealth! Zhao Ruilong's Masterful Acting Skills!
Chapter 360 Xiao Jinhua's Hope for Sudden Wealth! Zhao Ruilong's Masterful Acting Skills!
"Wait a moment."
Zhao Ruilong frowned and asked:
"Who made up this rumor?"
"Saying you're my godfather? That's utter nonsense!"
Mr. Shen smiled and said, "It's probably because some people think I value your father too much and have a special fondness for you."
"I see you more often in a year than I see my own son and daughter, so that's why rumors are spreading!"
Zhao Ruilong looked at Su Changli outside the car.
"But how come I've never heard of it?"
Su Changli laughed and said, "It's only recently become known in Beijing's social circles, so you haven't heard about it yet."
"But……"
Zhao Ruilong almost said, "Isn't Zhong Xiaoai supposed to be based in Yanjing all the time?"
Although he is no longer from a privileged background, he still has connections and influence.
Being well-informed, she must have heard about this rumor.
As for why they didn't mention it to me...
Zhao Ruilong suddenly remembered.
This time when she came to Yanjing, Zhong Xiaoai looked at her with a noticeably more intense gaze than before.
She probably already believed the rumors and really thought that Mr. Shen was her godfather.
With this relationship, his status in her heart naturally rose even higher.
"There's no 'but' about it. Isn't it a good thing that there's such a rumor?"
"In this way, not only will your father be able to make great strides in Handong, but no one will be able to cause trouble or make things difficult for him."
"Your Huilong Group's investment and business activities across the country will be safer and smoother."
After saying that, Mr. Shen got out of the car.
After thinking about it, Zhao Ruilong felt that this rumor would only bring him benefits and no harm.
We are no longer living in the era of feudal dynasties.
Impersonating a member of the imperial family will not result in beheading or the extermination of one's entire family.
Besides, it wasn't a rumor I fabricated and spread; it was just others overthinking it.
Having an extra layer of identity and background can make you more influential, so what's wrong with that?
Moreover, every time I come to Yanjing, I am picked up and driven by a private person to meet with President Shen, and we talk for a long time.
Throughout the year, he sees his own son and daughter less often than he sees himself, so how can he blame others for overthinking things?
It's like being in a large corporation.
If the chairman frequently and warmly entertains a young man from out of town.
Each time, a secretary and driver are arranged, with dedicated personnel and cars for pick-up and drop-off...
The executives and employees below would certainly guess that the two are related.
"Let's go, Ruilong!"
Mr. Shen stopped and turned around, shouting.
It made everyone around them secretly tremble with fear.
I thought it was already outrageous enough that Zhao Ruilong drove them and the two of them chatted alone in the car for a long time.
I never expected such a warm greeting in front of everyone...
For a while.
Zhong Xiaoai, Xiao Jinhua, and others were both astonished and envious.
Su Changli, however, was secretly amused.
This will definitely make the rumors spread even more wildly.
"Come right away!"
Zhao Ruilong quickly parked the car.
He got out of the car and handed the car keys to Zhong Xiaoai.
"President Steve Jobs, who was visiting, will be departing for home this afternoon."
"President Shen asked me to go to his house and have a meal with him to bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Steve Jobson."
"Don't wait for me for lunch. To the guests still staying at the hotel, please make sure to treat them well."
"If you haven't had enough fun at this private event, you can come here to continue your test drive experience."
"Of course, we can also arrange for them to visit Jingzhou to see our laboratories and production lines in person..."
Zhong Xiaoai felt dizzy.
He just nodded repeatedly, almost unconsciously.
All he could think about was Zhao Ruilong having lunch with General Shen to bid farewell to President Steve Jobs.
After Zhao Ruilong got into the Hongqi sedan and both cars drove away, Zhong Xiaoai finally came to her senses a little after hearing Xiao Jinhua click his tongue twice.
"He... really became President Shen's godson?"
Zhong Xiaoai asked the question with some surprise.
Xiao Jinhua turned his head and smiled at Zhong Xiaoai.
"Whether it is or not, do you think it still matters in the current situation?"
"The important thing is that he can not only let President Shen test drive and experience our new car, but also give a farewell dinner to President Steve Jobs when he visits."
At this point, Xiao Jinhua put his hands on his hips, and couldn't help but smile.
this moment.
He knew he made the right bet.
It feels like you've won big in a game of poker and are about to make a fortune.
I increasingly feel that my initial investment of 5 billion yuan, on top of the existing 5 billion yuan investment, was incredibly visionary and bold.
Next, with Zhao Ruilong's strong leadership and General Manager Shen's strong support, China's new energy vehicle industry will surely develop rapidly.
Driven by both economic benefits and favorable policies, a large number of companies will emerge in the research, development, production, and popularization of new energy vehicles and charging/swapping facilities.
As long as these companies have certain product and technological strength and can achieve good performance, they will definitely become the darlings of capital, and their market value will soar in each round of financing.
He had long since clung to Zhao Ruilong's coattails and invested a staggering 10 billion yuan.
Therefore, it's not impossible for the wealth to grow to tens or even hundreds of billions in this feast of riches.
Land Rover was established as a separate joint-stock automobile company and went public via IPO.
If a company has a wide range of car models and good sales, then a market value of 100 billion or 200 billion is not difficult to achieve.
Wouldn't my assets skyrocket as one of the shareholders?
Moreover, once the technology matures and the supply chain is perfected.
Creating new brands and launching new car models becomes incredibly simple, much like creating a set of nested dolls.
By then, we will be able to manufacture sedans, commercial vehicles, SUVs, and even minibuses and buses of different brands and grades.
As some in the industry jokingly say, a certain Volkswagen only developed one model.
Subsequent new models were all flattened, enlarged, lengthened, and heightened...
Once a large number of new energy vehicles are launched and become popular, not only will car companies continue to profit and their market value increase, but suppliers of various parts and components for car companies will also be able to develop along with them.
Even companies that manufacture charging stations can become unicorns and achieve extremely high valuations due to the increasing number of new energy vehicles and the rapid growth in charging demand.
Think of this.
Xiao Jinhua couldn't help but feel overjoyed, his whole body brimming with energy.
Turning my head, I looked at the row of imposing and magnificent new Land Rover M9s parked there.
Suddenly, I felt that they were no longer new cars, but hope.
It is my hope to become a billionaire!
"Xiao Ai, I think we should strike while the iron is hot and increase our efforts to promote our new car."
"We will make the most of our network of contacts and invite everyone we can to come and observe, experience, and test drive the vehicles."
"We should try to get the guests involved as well, and have them help us invite some of our influential friends and family members to come..."
Before Xiao Jinhua could finish speaking, Zhong Xiaoai asked in surprise:
"Mr. Xiao, what are you doing?"
"We've already spent a lot of money on this private event, and you still want to invite even more people..."
Xiao Jinhua scoffed dismissively:
"Oh dear, this little expense is nothing!"
"As long as it increases the brand awareness of our car, it's worth spending any amount of money!"
"Think about it, our Land Rover M9 is the first new energy luxury SUV in China, and even the world. Compared with other models on the market, it has a revolutionary leading advantage."
"After all the guests test drove our car yesterday, they all praised it highly. Many even thought that selling it for just over 500,000 yuan was too cheap. Even imported Mercedes-Benz and BMWs that cost over a million yuan are not as luxurious and high-end as our car."
"Think about it again. People are prone to preconceived notions. After using the feature-rich and advanced Huilong 3G phone, many people don't want to use those 2G phones with fewer features, which can only make and receive calls and send and receive text messages."
"So what do you think they'll think if we invite a large number of wealthy businessmen, powerful figures, celebrities, and even nouveau riche, so that they can experience our Land Rover M9, which is affordable yet technologically advanced and luxurious?"
"Regardless of whether they buy our car or not, as soon as they hear the name Land Rover, they will think of it as technologically advanced, stylish, luxurious, and sophisticated. When they want to buy a new car, they will easily think that imported cars are not good-looking or advanced, and the price is quite expensive. They will think it is better to buy a Land Rover."
"Yes!"
Zhong Xiaoai's eyes lit up instantly.
"Mr. Zhao once said that we will spare no expense to create the Land Rover M9, not for the sake of high sales volume or making a lot of money, nor just for training the R&D team and refining the supply chain."
"One of the important tasks of this car is to break the negative impression that domestic cars are inferior and cheap in people's minds, and to make people feel that domestic new energy vehicles are more advanced, stylish, luxurious and comfortable!"
"Once this task is completed, other new brands may not necessarily become popular and sell well, but at least other models under the Land Rover brand will be able to gain high popularity and sales based on the good impression generated by the M9!"
Xiao Jinhua laughed and said, "So, since hundreds of guests yesterday thought this car was great and worth the price, we should continue our efforts to make the Land Rover brand well-known before its official launch."
After saying that, Xiao Jinhua hurriedly took out his phone, intending to invite more people to come and experience it.
Only when the Land Rover M9 becomes a hit will the Land Rover brand become a hit.
Only when Land Rover becomes the number one domestic new energy vehicle brand can it drive the rapid development of the entire industry.
The entire industry has flourished, and those who followed Zhao Ruilong's investment strategy early on have been able to make a fortune.
therefore.
In order to make this car famous, Xiao Jinhua didn't care about anything else.
Anyway... making money isn't shameful!
And the other side.
Zhao Ruilong, who was on his way to the banquet, naturally did not discuss with President Shen how to vigorously develop the new energy industry.
Whether it's new energy, semiconductors, the internet, or electronic information, advanced manufacturing, medical devices...
The two had already discussed how to vigorously develop the numerous high-tech industries that contain new productive forces.
The reason why the plan has not yet been implemented as policy is that the formulation and review of policies still take time.
In this long process, in addition to the necessary expert review and evaluation, there is also the inevitable interplay of interests.
At this moment.
The two men, who were about to see President Steve Jobs off, naturally discussed how to manage relations between the two countries.
Although the worlds are different, human nature is the same, and the course of historical development is basically consistent.
Therefore, Zhao Ruilong's prediction of the future development of relations between the two countries is naturally not optimistic.
"You will rise to power by this, and you will also fall by this!"
"They became the world's leading power by virtue of their global hegemony, and therefore they need to maintain their hegemonic system."
"But with the hollowing out of manufacturing and the financialization of industry, the technological advantage has gradually decreased, making it difficult to siphon off the world's wealth through finance, which instead led to the subprime crisis."
