The Bund.
Occasionally, the lodious sound of ship horns echoed.
Chairwoman Shi faced the river, with her arm resting on the railing, gazing at the shimring water surface, she brought up a can of beer, took a sip, and then exhaled contentedly.
Without bodyguards, she stood alone—a woman of high status.
After taking charge of Jin Hai, her net worth skyrocketed instantly, landing her on the wealth list, and she has beco the most influential businesswoman in Shenzhou.
"Seems like the order volu is impressive."
Jiang Chen approached.
Seeing this lady in a good mood, he felt relieved. Past experience has taught him that when she’s upset, there’s always bound to be trouble.
Of course.
He could have avoided eting her, pretended he hadn’t co back, but he didn’t do that.
"I’m flattered; I didn’t expect such a busy person like you would find ti to see ."
"It’s not finding ti; it’s a special trip."
"Haha, it’s rare. Your words are so sweet that I’m almost not used to it."
Shi Qianxi took a sip of her beer.
"Is this how it’s going to be with such good results? Starting the celebration already?" Jiang Chen asked.
"How do you know?"
"How could I not know? You guys surely bought trending searches. Open the phone, and there are reports of your press conference everywhere. Hard not to know."
"Go to hell."
Director Shi was still using her old tricks, but Jiang Chen was already prepared; he easily dodged as she lifted her foot.
Shi Qianxi didn’t pursue further, "Since you’ve watched our press conference, how about so feedback? I want honest feedback."
"Four words." Jiang Chen said earnestly: "Way ahead."
Shi Qianxi’s lips curved slightly, "You know your stuff."
Jiang Chen smiled.
Shi Qianxi lifted the beer can: "We’ve refined this car for a long ti. This is Jin Hai’s first attempt at car manufacturing; we had to achieve sothing."
"I’ve seen the online reviews. As long as Jin Hai’s production can keep up, this car will definitely sell well. This kind of battery pack and fast-charging technology is usually seen in new energy cars over four hundred thousand units, yet you’re selling it for just over two hundred thousand. Are you sure you’re not losing money to gain attention?"
Jiang Chen asked curiously.
Back when he accompanied her to River City, he learned about Jin Hai’s entry into the new energy vehicle field. Ti flew by, and recently, Jin Hai’s first new energy vehicle was officially launched.
"I’m an entrepreneur, not a philanthropist. Losing money? This is not a small business; such a big project—can I afford to lose?"
"For a company the size of Jin Hai, it’s possible to lose disastrously."
Jiang Chen responded honestly.
Shi Qianxi was montarily at a loss and ignored him, "Although research costs are indeed high, the calculation of the selling price by the relevant departnt has ensured that it’s impossible to lose money—just not making as much."
"Are you sure you’re not just showing off?"
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but say, "So electric cars dostically seem to be selling for hundreds of thousands, and their technology is comparable to yours."
"So what? They sell for hundreds of thousands, and we sell for two hundred thousand. Does it an we’re definitely losing money?"
Shi Qianxi laughed, "With new energy vehicles, the most important components are batteries and chips, and this part of the technology is becoming increasingly mature, and costs aren’t as high as imagined. Of course, initially, from zero to one, the investnt is indeed huge, so we’re just riding the wave."
Jiang Chen realized and nodded in understanding, "Seems like you have a bit of conscience."
"Please, I’m not worthy."
Shi Qianxi shook the beer can, "Now, with such competition in new energy vehicles, we at Jin Hai are manufacturing cars for the first ti and don’t hold much advantage. To open up the market, we can only rely on a price war; otherwise, do you think I wouldn’t want to price them higher?"
Jiang Chen gave a sly smile,
This witch is just as sincere.
"This should be the biggest project you’ve executed since taking over Jin Hai, right?" he asked.
"Likely so."
Shi Qianxi nodded.
"Originally, people had matured the market, expanded the national outlook, enabling new energy cars to sell at high-end prices. But you play like this, it’s equivalent to hamring their effort, aren’t you afraid of becoming the target of collective anger?"
Jiang Chen laughed and said, "Jin Hai is large, with a comprehensive supply chain that can mobilize hundreds of upstream and downstream suppliers to provide services, to compress costs to the extre, while other factories can’t. With excess configuration sold far below the market price, how can other manufacturers survive?"
"Whether they survive or not, what’s it got to do with ?"
Shi Qianxi said indifferently, looking at the forever-flowing Pujiang, speaking lightly: "I’m not losing money selling cars; this isn’t malicious competition. At most, we’re all just driving prices down, earning less."
Jiang Chen laughed, "It should be more than earning a little less."
"A car for six hundred thousand that used to earn four hundred thousand now earns ten thousand—not much of a difference, right?"
Jiang Chen kept smiling, "Blocking soone’s path to wealth is like killing their parents; be careful of them uniting to create a ban on price reductions."
Shi Qianxi’s lips curled, a thin smile, "If they have that capability, they can try. The country won’t agree. Now, the economic situation is so tough; the country wants to boost consumption—selling cheaply in high volus is the only way. A few battery packs wrapped in tin foil being sold for hundreds of thousands used to be understandable when costs were high. But now, technology is mature, they still sell more expensively, crazy?"
Jiang Chen didn’t say anything.
"Since the country has been betting on new energy vehicles, dostic new energy car manufacturers have started to erupt, and now the scale of the dostic automobile industry is six tis that of Dongying, global production and sales have been number one for over ten years, with both production and sales over twenty million units. Do you know what that ans?"
