My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 197: Chapter 167: Shock from All Parties (3)

He was so furious he stopped watching the stream. He was going to the factory to work; he’d risk everything to redeem himself!

’With a behemoth like Junxiao Investment Group backing me, if I can’t even get Junxing Auto off the ground, how can I, Xu Gang, ever show my face in the auto industry again?’

What he didn’t know was that he wasn’t the only one watching the stream; Xu Wu was watching it too.

Unlike Xu Gang, she didn’t think zero sales was a big deal. The company had just been acquired, and production of the original model had already ceased. For the new model, the Junxing M7, it would be a success if they could launch it by March of next year, no matter how much they rushed.

Right now, the most important thing wasn’t to rush sales, but to refine the product. Only by launching a good product could they gradually change the current situation.

Therefore, the primary focus now was to ensure the intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit systems reached the market’s mainstream standards by March of next year. Afterward, they could gradually approach the top tier through continuous iteration.

The development of intelligent driving has gone through several stages so far.

At the lowest level are the systems represented by joint-venture brands—or rather, their somewhat complacent LCCs, which are basically just Lane Keeping!

Next is Highway Pilot, commonly known as Highway NOA.

After that comes Urban Memory Pilot, followed by the ability to drive in urban areas nationwide.

Between Urban Memory Pilot and nationwide usability, there are also systems that are only available in a limited number of cities. This is because some intelligent driving systems rely on high-precision maps.

On the other hand, systems like the one used in Hongmeng Intelligent Selection Cars do not rely on high-precision maps, so they can be used nationwide right away.

After all that comes end-to-end, which means achieving automated driving from parking spot to parking spot.

And currently, Hongmeng Intelligent Selection Cars have already achieved this!

This is also why the intelligent driving in Hongmeng Intelligent Selection Cars is the most trusted by customers and has the highest usage rate!

As Xu Wu mulled this over, she had to admit the new energy vehicle industry was facing incredibly intense competition. It had been less than two years since Hongmeng Intelligent Selection Car started pushing hard on intelligent driving, and the feature had become deeply ingrained in the public’s mind.

It had even reached the point where consumers buying cars over 200,000 yuan insisted on discussing intelligent driving; if a car didn’t have it, they wouldn’t buy it.

This was also one of the reasons for Tianqi Auto’s sudden collapse. A 300,000-yuan car that only relied on its looks? That was just asking for it!

No wonder Chen Xiao had proposed investing over 10 billion yuan a year in intelligent driving and intelligent cockpits. Without that level of commitment, catching up to the market’s mainstream level would be a complete fantasy.

And if they couldn’t achieve a breakthrough in core technology, trying to go the high-end route was just a dream!

The car market was now so competitive that even cars under 200,000 yuan were starting to come with intelligent driving as a standard feature!

However, Hongmeng Intelligent Driving hadn’t been rolled out to lower-end models yet, as the cost was a bit high.

The quality of intelligent driving in cars under 200,000 yuan was still quite a ways off from Hongmeng’s.

The first-stage goal for Junxing Intelligent Driving was to achieve nationwide usability by March of next year. They certainly wouldn’t be able to make it work *well* everywhere nationwide, though!

Because this intelligent driving system lacked massive amounts of data to train its large model, it was bound to be subpar in the early stages.

But as long as it was installed in cars, it would generate data, and with continuous iteration, they would definitely be able to catch up.

Not enough time? Make up for it with money!

Xu Wu’s ability to adapt was truly incredible. A month ago, she was just an ordinary white-collar worker with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan.

Now, as a Sect Leader controlling tens of billions in capital, her transition into the role was astonishingly smooth!

The acquisition of Tianqi Auto, the investment to transform Junxing Auto into an ultra-large modern smart factory, and the establishment of the Intelligent Research and Development Center—these events had caused a massive stir in Hanjiang Province and even across the entire country.

One could only imagine how shocked Xu Wu’s old acquaintances were when they saw this news!

Li Guoqiang sat in his office, silent for a long time. ’I thought I had already overestimated President Chen’s power, but I still ended up underestimating him by a mile.’

The moment Ding Yong received the news, he called him. He said only two words: "Brother, thanks!"

Li Guoqiang knew what he meant. Thanks to his introduction, Ding Yong had started doing business with Xu Wu. Now, seeing the financial might of Junxiao Investment Group, Ding Yong finally understood what a powerful patron Li Guoqiang had introduced him to.

Ding Yong gave Gao Yue another raise, and over at Jiefei, Li Fei did the same for Li Xiao!

Because of this news, both men, without consulting each other, did everything they could to curry favor with these two beautiful subordinates.

They even hinted that their main job from now on was simply to deepen their connection with President Xu. As for their other company duties, they were both assigned capable deputies and assistants.

The two women even got dedicated cars with chauffeurs, something they wouldn’t have dared to dream of before.

Life is strange sometimes. You do nothing, and a stroke of incredible luck just falls into your lap.

And when Cha Lan saw the news, he was filled with confidence about achieving leapfrog development with Dr. Feng.

I mean, if a single employee from that company was this formidable, can you even imagine how astonishingly successful the enterprise itself will become?

Even people in the retail industry had their own varied reactions to the news!

Xu Jun, the general manager of Junxiao Square, took a deep breath. ’So this is the true strength of the group I work for. It really is good to be in the shade of a big tree.’ He was certain he hadn’t made the wrong choice back then; following Junxiao Group had even more potential than following Wansheng Group.

Peng Yu, on the other hand, sucked in a sharp breath. Was this Junxiao Group really that rich? He suddenly felt a wave of anxiety about competing with Junxiao Square and was filled with regret that he hadn’t won the position over Xu Jun.

Forget them—even Zhao Hui found the news hard to believe. He had always known Chen Xiao was rich, but he had never imagined he was *this* rich.

A single move involved tens of billions. Looking at the whole world, how many people could make such a grand play!

And the crucial part was the effortless way he did it, as if tens of billions weren’t even money.

Although he was a vice president, he was even better informed about group news than Xu Jun. He had already heard that Xu Wu was planning to continue acquiring commercial plazas.
