Chapter 340 Unstoppable? Then strike first!
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
This immediately delighted Ye Guanghui.
Being coerced and lured by Wei Guanghong was an extremely unpleasant experience.
"Okay, seven days it is."
After saying that, Ye Guanghui quickly got up to open the door.
He couldn't wait a moment longer; he just wanted to get away from the violent Wei Guanghong as soon as possible.
The door opened, and a tall, thin man wearing glasses appeared in the doorway with a broad smile.
Ye Guanghui thought for a moment before realizing that the other party was Dou Jiansheng.
In their circle, they are the most upright and righteous, yet the most greedy for fame and fortune.
Despite having terrible college entrance exam scores, he still managed to get into a top university through special channels.
It is said that he performed poorly during his school years, and even had someone else do his graduation thesis for him.
But this did not prevent him from being assigned to the long-established and reputable Yanjing Automobile Company after graduation.
After decades of accumulation and development, Yanjing Automobile Company, which started by manufacturing auto parts for the military, also has a profound foundation in off-road vehicles and light trucks.
However, as China opened up to the outside world, they quickly abandoned the fine traditions of self-reliance and hard work of the older generation.
In cooperation with the United States, Yanjing Jeep, the first joint venture car company in China, was born. Within a few years, its sales volume reached more than 80,000 vehicles, with annual profits of hundreds of millions of yuan.
As the economy continues to develop, people's demand for cars is increasing. Meanwhile, Jeeps, which have been imported for many years but have not been upgraded much, are seeing declining sales.
Yanjing Automobile Company then planned to find another foreign car company to cooperate in producing family cars.
Dou Jiansheng took on this task and, with his powerful connections, managed to secure Nanhan Modern within six months.
Once the cooperation agreement is officially signed, and cars are assembled and produced using various parts exported from Nanhan, Dou Jiansheng will surely make further progress.
If he can secure the deal with Mercedes-Benz, a brand with greater influence, and establish another large joint venture to produce and sell some Mercedes-Benz models domestically...
Then Dou Jiansheng's progress will definitely be even faster!
Seeing his beaming smile and smug expression.
Ye Guanghui estimates that Dou Jiansheng may not have secured Mercedes-Benz yet, but he has already secured Hyundai.
"Brother Sheng seems so happy, could it be that he's about to sign with Hyundai?"
Dou Jiansheng burst into laughter.
"Those in the entertainment industry really do have excellent access to information!"
"Yes, our Yanjing Automobile Company has reached a cooperation agreement with Nanhan Hyundai."
"After the Spring Festival, we will sign a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement and a joint venture cooperation contract. If nothing unexpected happens, Yanjing Modern will be established in the second half of the year."
Ye Guanghui quickly praised, "My God, Brother Sheng, you're amazing!"
"So, does that mean that ordinary people in our Dragon Country will be able to buy cars based on modern technology from the South Cold next year?"
Dou Jiansheng shook his head and said, "Sigh, why would we wait until next year?"
"Once the cooperation agreement is signed, we will begin to make all the necessary preparations for manufacturing the cars."
"We don't even need to wait until the end of the year; the first car might roll off the production line in October or even September!"
Ye Guanghui feigned surprise and laughed, "So fast?"
"Of course! Hyundai is a world-renowned car company with world-class technology. If we introduce their mature technology and follow their standards for production, how could it not be fast?"
Dou Jiansheng looked smug.
He doesn't care about such cooperation; it's purely comprador behavior.
No matter how many joint venture cars they assemble and produce, they only earn a meager amount of hard-earned money.
Not only do they fail to achieve any technological advancements, but most of the profits are also earned by foreign automakers.
But whether it will benefit the company's long-term development, and whether it can help the Chinese automotive industry grow and thrive...
These are not things that Dou Jiansheng needs to consider.
He only knew that joint ventures were a way to quickly seize the market.
Once you successfully seize the market and the company's performance soars, you can also make a fortune and rise to prominence.
"That's true. Partnering with top international automakers will definitely make car manufacturing incredibly fast!"
"However, the first domestically produced Hyundai sedan will definitely be in short supply after it hits the market, so you have to reserve one for me, Brother Sheng!"
As he spoke, Ye Guanghui gestured for Dou Jiansheng to enter the study.
I thought this flattery would make Dou Jiansheng feel very comfortable.
result……
Dou Jiansheng didn't step into the house; instead, he looked at Ye Guanghui with a playful smile.
Why would I reserve one for you?
"Didn't you want to buy two new hybrid cars produced by Handong Automobile Group?"
"You keep saying that car is your dream domestic car!"
"Others say that this car is flashy but impractical, good-looking but not functional, but you say that it has disruptive innovation and a precipitous lead in technology..."
Ye Guanghui was sweating profusely.
"Brother Sheng, you've misunderstood!"
"Misunderstanding?"
Dou Jiansheng sneered, "In your class group, you spoke so eloquently and passionately, even saying that the day this car is launched will be the day when domestic cars begin to rise."
"Don't rush to defend yourself, and there's no need to. Your comments, photos, and videos in the group these past few days have already spread. As someone in the automotive industry, of course I've seen that new car and read your comments!"
"To be honest, the exterior and interior design of this car is indeed quite good, even quite beautiful. It gives people a very futuristic and advanced feeling, which is perfect for you people in the entertainment industry who love glamorous and flashy things."
Ye Guanghui could only manage a wry smile.
This is a classic case of good news not traveling far, but bad news travels fast.
"Brother Sheng, this is really a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!"
"I drank too much on New Year's Eve and didn't know that it was a car that Zhao Ruilong had invested in developing."
"I felt a little resentful when I saw a lot of people praising imported luxury cars, so I decided to stand up to them."
"Actually, I don't like that car at all. I just wanted to be different and stand out from my old classmates."
Dou Jiansheng chuckled and patted Ye Guanghui on the shoulder.
"It's just a joke! Why are you so nervous?"
"Who among us doesn't know that you have a grudge against Zhao Ruilong?"
"If you buy the car he invested in developing, wouldn't you be slapping yourself in the face?"
After saying that, Dou Jiansheng walked around Ye Guanghui.
But after taking only two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned back.
"Oh right, since you hate Zhao Ruilong, and his MP3 players are in high demand and his 3G phones are selling like hotcakes, you still won't buy one, will you?"
Ye Guanghui shook his head decisively.
"No, of course not!"
"I will absolutely not buy anything from him unless he apologizes to me!"
Dou Jiansheng gave an "oh" and then asked with a sneer:
"So you'll resolutely refuse to ride in the high-speed trains and airplanes he invests in developing in the future?"
"Absolutely not, I definitely won't sit!"
Ye Guanghui spoke with a resolute tone and full of confidence.
Dou Jiansheng nodded slightly.
"Okay, that's manly enough!"
"So you've finished talking with Lao Wei, right?"
Ye Guanghui glanced at Wei Guanghong, who was cleaning his gun.
"We're done talking, we're done talking. You two can continue, I'm going down now."
After saying that, Ye Guanghui walked out with trepidation.
He held his breath and listened intently, afraid that Wei Guanghong might suddenly call out to him.
After leaving the study and closing the door, my heart started pounding uncontrollably.
Although Wei Guanghong didn't stop him, he made up his mind that he had to run away within seven days.
But if we're going to run away, it's obviously not today. Since we're already here, we're going to play our part to the very end.
And in the study...
As soon as Dou Jiansheng sat down, Wei Guanghong opened the safe and took out a special box of 'cigarettes'.
As soon as the box was placed on the table, Dou Jiansheng couldn't wait to get up and open it.
Take out a cigarette, light it, close your eyes, and savor it quietly.
A few seconds later, he let out a long exhale of smoke.
"Not bad!"
"I've been craving it for so many days, it's driving me crazy!"
Wei Guanghong also took one, lit it, and smoked it.
Then put the box back into the safe and lock it.
"The Spring Festival is almost over. Once you're officially back at work, who will care about you anymore?"
Dou Jiansheng smiled knowingly.
He slowly sat down, savoring the cigarette, exhaling smoke.
"That kid Zhao Ruilong is getting more and more impressive!"
"The products he has invested in developing have all been excellent so far; they are both beautiful and easy to use."
Wei Guanghong asked with a sneer, "So you think his upcoming hybrid car will definitely sell well?"
Dou Jiansheng opened his eyes, leaned back lazily in his chair, and asked in return:
"Do you think a car that looks that good won't sell well?"
"And judging from the configuration, it is quite rich and full of technology."
"The only question is the price. If it's not too expensive, there will definitely be a shortage again!"
Wei Guanghong, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and his eyes slightly narrowed, said:
"Although, given his usual style, the price certainly won't be cheap, no matter how technologically advanced and stylish it is, it's still just a domestically produced car. How could it possibly be more expensive than an imported car? Who would buy it?"
Dou Jiansheng hummed in agreement twice, then sighed deeply and said:
"This car not only impressed me with its exterior, interior, and technological features, but after inquiring around it, I also found its name quite appealing."
"what name?"
Wei Guanghong asked with great interest.
When he first saw the photos and videos of the new car, even he was taken aback.
When did domestically produced cars become so beautiful? They look even more advanced and stylish than million-dollar imported luxury cars.
Do you know Landrover?
"Isn't that obvious? I've been to England! Of course, this is a long-established British car company that specializes in hardcore off-road vehicles!"
"Their name, translated as Lu Hu, sounds really good. It's a pity that they will have to use other Chinese names when they enter the Chinese market in the future, because many homophones such as Lu Hu, Lu Hu, and Lu Hu have already been registered as trademarks by Zhao Ruilong."
"So you mean the car he's about to launch will be called Land Rover?"
"Lu Hu, Lu as in land!"
After taking a puff of his cigarette, Dou Jiansheng added:
"I also found that Zhao Ruilong has applied for many car trademarks."
"Ideal, Boundary, Range Rover, Mighty Dragon, and Overlord are all pretty good names."
"But there are also some really weird ones, like Tank. Is that a name for a car?"
"What kind of car, once built, can be called a tank? Do ordinary people want to buy cars or weapons?"
Wei Guanghong frowned and shook his head.
"I don't understand, I really don't understand what he's thinking."
"But he really is a genius. If he hadn't spent seven years in prison, he probably would have invested in developing many high-tech products long ago."
Dou Jiansheng leaned forward, asking with great curiosity:
