My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 184: Chapter 163: Chen Xiao’s Profit Logic (Part 2)

President Wang had already run up to him, full of flattery. He bowed and said, "Brother Zhao, a toast to you. I’ll be counting on your help with this matter!"

Third Uncle jolted and habitually stood up. He hadn’t yet adapted to this role reversal and was still used to treating President Wang like a big shot.

Standing up and seeing President Wang being so deferential to him, the feeling was strange, but damn, it was comfortable!

Afterward, Wu Fang also came to toast Third Uncle. Who knows how much more polite he was being than before?

Maybe it was to make up for his previous coldness toward Third Uncle, but Wu Fang said, "Third Uncle, we’ll be colleagues from now on. Please look after me!"

He then had Third Uncle drink a small cup while he downed the entire two liang of liquor from the decanter in one gulp.

At this moment, everyone in the Zhao Family felt the power of their nephew, Zhao Hui—power enough to make President Wang and the leader he was fawning over come and toast every single member of their large family in an almost ingratiating manner.

Even Zhao Liang, the good-for-nothing who just lazed around at home all day, was treated with respect and addressed with honorifics.

When it was Zhao Xiangjun’s turn, Wu Fang was stunned. The "Yi Rui" store in Junxiao Square had a super-beautiful woman, a fact well-known throughout the plaza, and Wu Fang had taken special notice of her during his rounds.

He never expected to see her here. He sensed Zhao Hui’s immense "doting" on his sister, but what he didn’t know was that it wasn’t "doting"—it was respect and reverence!

Zhao Xiangjun stood up, raised her drink in a small gesture, and said, "Thank you!" without another word.

By the time Wu Fang and President Wang returned to their own private room, both were quite drunk.

Wu Fang said, "President Wang, so you know President Hui’s family!"

President Wang slurred, "I know them. Known them for years!"

But what he didn’t say was that knowing them for years had been like a dream.

Zhao Xiangjun drove the family home in the Lantu Dream Chaser. She wanted to stay and keep her grandmother company, but Zhao Hui’s place was too crowded now, with no room for her to stay.

Not to mention the house next door was under renovation, and even if it were finished, you couldn’t move in right away.

So, she had to take a taxi back, pick up her own Wisdom Realm R7, and drive back to Bihu Twin Seals.

The "Big Bad Wolf" at home had been waiting for his "Little Red Riding Hood" for a long time.

Not long after she got home, she was coaxed into the bedroom by Chen Xiao, the "Big Bad Wolf," and they went at it all night.

"Chen Xiao, how are you getting so kinky!"

It wasn’t just his Endurance; he was unlocking new moves every day. Although Zhao Xiangjun went along with him, she was, after all, a very traditional woman and couldn’t help but be incredibly shy.

Tianqi Auto

Once one of the most prominent new-force car manufacturers, its offices were now completely empty.

With liabilities exceeding assets and no new investment in sight, it was forced into bankruptcy and reorganization.

As a car company with nothing to offer but exterior design and no other core technological competitiveness, few manufacturers were even interested in acquiring it.

Besides its car manufacturing license and the factory itself being somewhat useful—no, its factory wasn’t even a state-of-the-art smart factory—the book value was essentially meaningless.

There were hundreds of domestic new energy brands right now. What they lacked was funding and technology, not manufacturing licenses.

Those who hadn’t entered the market before had virtually no chance of getting in now that the general trend was set.

Even a company like "Coarse Grain Factory," with its massive fanbase, huge cash reserves, and a Sect Leader like Leibus who possessed an almost invincible personal brand, wasn’t seen as a promising contender when it first entered the car-making business.

So which daredevil would be bold enough to acquire "Tianqi Auto" now?

I heard the remaining staff are all live-streaming now, selling agricultural products.

How sad, how lamentable!

Xu Wu held the research report in her hands, deep in thought. A project of this magnitude was too difficult to make a decision on.

She understood that new energy vehicles represented Huaxia’s first opportunity to overtake others on a curve in the automotive industry.

She confirmed that the NEV industry would go through three stages. The first stage was energy electrification. Here, "a certain L" and "a certain D," thanks to their first-mover advantage, already had absolute market dominance.

Moreover, one was the pioneer of pure electrics, and the other was the pioneer of plug-in hybrids. This first-mover advantage was something latecomers would find hard to match.

The second stage was intelligentization, mainly in smart cockpits and autonomous driving. In this area, Hongmeng Intelligent Selection, leveraging its terrifying R&D superiority and its years of powerful technological advantages in communications, AI, and automotive optics, had risen rapidly with almost crushing force.

Its M9 model, with an average price of 550,000 per vehicle, held a cliff-like lead over its competitors.

The third stage was intelligent connectivity—linking people, cars, and homes to create an ecosystem. In this domain, Hongmeng Intelligent Selection and the "Coarse Grain" family again had a natural advantage. Their years of user accumulation and their groundwork in the Internet of Everything were frightening to even think about.

Furthermore, these giants invested tens of billions annually in R&D. Xu Wu didn’t know how they could enter this market now and compete with trillion-dollar-level corporations. The most terrifying part was that your enemy was not only far stronger and faster than you but possibly even worked harder than you.

But she was unwilling to give up on this market, because in another year, the door might close for good, with no more chances to enter.

By then, the market landscape would be clear, and it would be impossible for any latecomer to rise.

’Fifteen billion... It sounds like a lot, but why does it feel like it would barely make a ripple in this market? If we really started burning through it, it would probably be gone in two months.’

She called Chen Xiao to schedule a detailed discussion. This was a major issue, and she definitely couldn’t be the one to make the final call.
