Chapter 476: 421 Raising Gu

What is social networking?

Concretely speaking,

it’s these exquisitely crafted little cards that Jiang Chen slips into his pocket.

Rising above others.

It looks like a word filled with sweat and hardship, a long and obstructed path.

But if you can rely on these cards, it’s like holding an axe, instantly turning the thorns into a smooth path.

But the key is,

most people, or rather, those who need to succeed, hardly have the means to collect such business cards.

And those who can collect these cards, have almost all achieved success already.

So this is the cruelty of society.

It’s also a kind of black humor in this world.

"Jinhai has invested in car companies too?"

Playing a role just for appearance is the most exhausting.

In the past, Shi Qianxi would have avoided such occasions at all costs, but now she had no choice but to attend unwillingly.

However, after socializing for a bit, she still managed to steal a moment of leisure for herself and found a quiet spot to sit down and rest.

"Hmm, is that surprising?"

Not surprising, indeed.

How vast Jinhai’s business scope is, Shi Qianxi probably couldn’t even finish describing it now.

"That Dai Hui is quite capable. I heard Uncle Duan say that when he founded Tusun Cars, he mortgaged all his family property, and even borrowed a huge sum from the bank. It was an all-or-nothing gamble; he would have been finished if he failed."

Shi Qianxi chatted leisurely and, in the end, gave her appraisal, "He is a man with ideals."

A man with ideals.

Those words coming out of her mouth, why did they feel so out of place?

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly.

"Is that the reason you look favorably upon him?"

Indeed.

Though Shi Qianxi had changed a lot, always wearing an elegant smile, she seemed too "kind" towards the CEO of Tusun Cars.

"Of course not,"

Shi Qianxi glanced at him and spoke bluntly.

"There are plenty of people with ideals, but most are impractical daydreamers. But he’s different. He’s truly capable. Jinhai has invested in less than ten electric vehicle companies, all treated equally, with the same resources allocated. Yet some have already shut down, some are barely struggling on, but only Tusun is developing in a somewhat decent fashion."

This strategy, why does it sound so familiar?

"Isn’t this just like raising gu?"

Jiang Chen said subconsciously.

"Survival of the fittest, this is a business rule,"

Shi Qianxi stated lightly.

Jiang Chen fell silent.

"I plan to have Uncle Duan increase his support for Tusun Cars from now on. Its current pace of development is still not fast enough. In a completey new field, only the fastest entrant can occupy the largest share of the market."

"Do you think electric cars can really replace fuel cars in the future?"

Jiang Chen asked.

The debate between electric and fuel cars is one of the hottest social topics right now.

In their dorm room, he and Luo Peng would also occasionally discuss this.

After all, it’s a matter that will affect everyone, not just representing an industry revolution.

The automotive industry has a wide-ranging upstream and downstream coverage, beyond the imagination of the average person.

Deutschland’s ability to recover from several cataclysmic disasters rested on its world-class industrial manufacturing capability.

And within it, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Volkswagen, commonly known as the "BBA," are the essence of Deutschland’s industrial capacity, playing a monumental role in the country’s reconstruction.

And all three, without exception, are the leading representatives of fuel cars.

Just imagine.

If fuel cars really exit the historical stage, what will be the fate of Germany, the land of the "big three automakers"?

One can compare it to Dongying nowadays.

As the once globally dominant Toyota Motor began to decline, Dongying’s economy also became sluggish and started on a downward spiral.

The automotive industry, supporting the employment of tens of millions, is also a critical lever for boosting consumption, capable of influencing a nation’s economy!

That’s why there are more and more arguments now pointing out that electric vehicles are Shenzhou’s best opportunity to overtake in the race.

To say without exaggeration, the struggle between electric and fuel vehicles could possibly determine the world’s future landscape.

"I don’t understand it either, this is the suggestion from the group’s strategy department."

Shi Qianxi spoke the truth.

In fact, even now, as electric vehicles increasingly take the spotlight and traditional oil-fueled car empires start to transition, she still had a soft spot for fuel cars.

But that did not prevent her from accepting the advice from the strategy department.

"Regardless of whether electric cars can replace fuel cars or not, at least the development of domestic cars can suppress foreign car companies, preventing them from continuing to dominate and bully in our country. We can’t compare to the deep heritage of fuel cars, so we have to give it our all with electric cars."

Jiang Chen was surprised, "You still have such patriotic sentiments?"

Shi Qianxi smiled.

"Why? Am I not a Shenzhou person?"

Jiang Chen still found it somewhat inconceivable.

This lady didn’t look like someone with such sentiments.

Indeed.

The next sentence she spoke revealed her true intentions.

"I heard that people in Dongying are fiddling with some hydrogen-powered vehicles, they also know that if fuel cars are doomed, it’s something they cannot accept, so they’re in a panic. Ha, planning to invest 50 billion US dollars, I think that’s a joke, they’ve got nothing to show for it up to now. I just want to develop the domestic electric cars, and once Toyota falls, I would like to see if those Dongying folks could still lead an easy life."

Indeed, the petty and women are hard to raise.

The ancients did not deceive me.

Although the spy incident has been temporarily put to rest, Miss Shi clearly still harbored resentment.

However, this method of revenge, isn’t it a bit too "domineering"?

Toyota Motor.

Before the sudden rise of Tesla, it reigned as the world’s top auto company for a long time.

It was consistently in the top ten of the Fortune Global 500.

Annual profits exceeded 10 billion!

And that’s in US dollars.

The slogan "There is always a road in front of the mountains, and where there’s a road, there will be Toyota cars" was once widely known in Shenzhou.

The significance of Toyota Motor to Dongying goes without saying.

As expected.

A fierce person like her seeks retribution in an extraordinary manner.

Whether or not it can be achieved, at least her boldness alone commands respect.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Shi Qianxi asked curiously.

"It’s nothing."

Jiang Chen, who had already experienced both the inevitable and the unexpected with her, regained his composure and stopped his wild thoughts.

At this time, Duan Zhongxin came over and whispered something to Shi Qianxi.

"I’m meeting someone."

She stood up and followed Duan Zhongxin out, and this time, she didn’t ask Jiang Chen to come along.

Jiang Chen was actually happy to be at ease, casually observing the upper echelons of Hancheng society while enjoying the high-end fruit.

He and this lady are friends.

There wouldn’t come a day of drawn swords and armed bows.

As long as another hero emerges, capturing the interest of this lady, he could then happily bow out.
