Shi Qianxi asked.
The economic impact of cars is self-evident.
Cars are indispensable for human transportation.
Apart from houses, cars are probably the most common and expensive commodity in human society.
In order to make cars affordable for ordinary people, they must be produced on a large scale, cutting costs crazily to create profit space, which makes the automotive industry one of the fields with the most stringent production and managent standards in human society.
Car companies need to maintain their profits and cash flow through strict cost control and efficient supply chain operations, otherwise, they simply cannot survive. As a result, all the most advanced managent models in manufacturing, from large-scale assembly line operations to lean production later, originated from the automotive industry.
Those countries strong in automobiles invariably have strong overall industrial levels. On the other hand, the automotive industry involves the manufacturing of tens of thousands of parts, covering a broad range of fields like tallurgy, rubber, chemicals, and electronic equipnt, thus leading to substantial stimulation of employnt and the economy. The core of a large country is in manufacturing, and the core of manufacturing is in automobiles.
Germany, Dongying, are good examples; the automotive industry is a pillar of their national economy.
Therefore.
The scale of the automotive industry often reflects a country’s economic level.
“Our current production and sales volu is nearly double that of the second-place ilijian, roughly six tis that of the third-place Dongying. In less than twenty years, we have rightfully reached the number one spot in the world.”
Shi Qianxi asked and answered herself.
Jiang Chen nodded, “That’s quite an impressive achievent.”
“Achieving such results is largely due to substantial state subsidies and support, in addition to our globally dominating market scale. With over a billion people, even if one car is owned per ten people, that’s a hundred million cars. Despite such an innate advantage, after so many years, the leading position in new energy vehicles isn’t ours yet. Isn’t that ridiculous?”
Jiang Chen remained silent.
“The dostic market is large, with all sorts of new energy car companies erging, seemingly like a hundred schools of thought contending. But in reality, who knows how many are just fooling around, solely focused on reaping policy benefits, fleecing the state. The quantity-driven era is over; we no longer need so many car companies. So, let those that should die just die.”
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “Aren’t you afraid of being criticized?”
“Let put it another way,”
Shi Qianxi imdiately corrected herself, “Those car companies have completed their historical mission and can gloriously bow out, exit the stage of the era.”
Jiang Chen turned his head.
Listening to this, how could he not sense the ambition in this lady’s tone?
“With such ambition on the first go at making cars, aren’t you afraid of overreaching and getting hurt?”
Director Shi looked over, “Given Jin Hai’s stature and Shenzhou’s market, tell , what kind of target would be reasonable and appropriate?”
Jiang Chen was instantaneously speechless.
“I’ve thought it through. If this step is executed successfully and achieves so results, next, I’ll start researching spacecraft, and by then, I’ll invite you to be the first experience officer.”
Director Shi said while sipping beer, looking serious in profile.
Jiang Chen felt a tinge of emotion.
One person’s power is ultimately limited.
A nation’s or an ethnic group’s developnt can never rely on one person, only on the collective effort of everyone.
“I appreciate the thought, but I still prefer life on Earth.”
Jiang Chen said earnestly.
“Are you sure?”
Shi Qianxi looked at him, holding a can, with a proud and pretty face showing a faint smile, “I thought you’d quite like to leave Earth right now.”
Jiang Chen glanced at her.
“You’re keeping it well hidden; there’s still a Qing i back ho. I wonder how it tastes mixed with ‘plum’ (Li Shuru).”
Jiang Chen didn’t catch on at first, but after a mont, realized what this ‘plum’ referred to.
“Can you stop talking nonsense? I’ve known her since birth; we lived opposite each other. Her parents think of as their son; we’re like family.”
Shi Qianxi averted her gaze, “There’s no pure friendship between n and won.”
“And what about you and Fei Yi? Not pure friendship either?”
Jiang Chen quickly asked.
“Of course not.”
Shi Qianxi nodded without hesitation, “Besides being friends with Fat Tiger, more of it is a relationship of interest.”
Jiang Chen was speechless.
Living this clearly,
Isn’t it exhausting?
“Do you and your Qing i have a relationship of interest?”
Jiang Chen didn’t answer, changing the topic, “Have you t?”
“Not yet. Your Qing i is of a high level, no rush.”
No rush?
What does ‘no rush’ an?
Jiang Chen felt a sweat drop, “She ca for work. Can you stop overthinking?”
“There are so many cities, so many companies. With her ability, where can’t she go? Why insist on Tianci?”
“Because Shu Rui invited her.”
“Oh. You didn’t tell ; I wouldn’t have known.”
“…”
Jiang Chen chuckled wryly to himself.
This woman’s level of sarcasm is getting higher and higher.
“I roughly understand Li Shuru’s thoughts, but is she too confident in herself?” Shi Qianxi seemingly mused to herself.
“I really admire you. So busy every day, the first car just launched, and you still find ti to think about all these irrelevant things.”
“I don’t want to think about them, but I can’t help it.”
Shi Qianxi took a sip of beer, “Why don’t you teach how to control it?”
Jiang Chen was always proactive, but at this point, he felt a sense of retreat.
“Accompany Aunt ng to the temple more often.”
He replied calmly.
“Whew…”
A can flew over.
Fortunately, it was empty.
Jiang Chen caught it and then, with a sense of civic responsibility, threw it into the trash can.
“Tsk~”
When enjoying the quiet breeze, a bizarre chuckle echoed from the side.
“How much have you drunk?”
Jiang Chen seriously suspected she was drunk.
“Do you rember the first ti we t?”
Jiang Chen was surprised, yet despite not understanding why she asked this suddenly, he nodded.
How could he forget?
An eighty million diamond smashed just like that.
That was the first ti in his life he gained a concrete understanding of a genuine top-tier second-generation wealthy individual.
“Are you still in contact with Sun Shao?”
“…”
Shi Qianxi’s expression stiffened.
Jiang Chen looked puzzled.
Did he say sothing wrong?
He shouldn’t have.
The first eting was indeed for Li Shuru’s birthday, where Sun Xiyu was there and then brought this lady along.
“He even has a child now.”
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, “Really?”
Soon he realized it must be a joke.
No matter how fast, it can’t be that efficient.
“I wasn’t talking about that ti.”
“Then that was the first ti.”
Shi Qianxi gently took a breath, “I ant the second ti.”
The second ti?
Jiang Chen’s gaze shifted imdiately, looking towards the Jiang River and the cruise on it, “I don’t rember.”
“If you had another chance, would you still dare?”
The word “dare” here might be very aningful.
Jiang Chen looked utterly confused, “I really don’t rember.”
“Alright then, if I get ti, I’ll chat with your Qing i. Isn’t she a lawyer? Good to consult with her.”
Shi Qianxi sighed, “She and Li Shuru must be different, right? No matter what kind of person you are, even a devil, Li Shuru won’t leave you, but that Lawyer Fang…”
Jiang Chen interrupted, “How am I a devil? Tell , at that ti, was there a better way for ?”
“Didn’t you say you didn’t rember? Now you rember?”
Jiang Chen smiled wryly, “Can we not bring up the past?”
“I just thought of it suddenly.”
Shi Qianxi tilted her head, “Have you ntioned our story to Li Shuru?”
“…”
“Have you ever hit her?”
“…”
“Have you ever taken portrait photos for her?”
What nonsense about portrait photos!
Jiang Chen couldn’t bear it any longer, “It’s getting late. Let’s head back.”
