My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 236: Chapter 180: Who Takes the Blame for Whom? (3)

If he kept talking, he’d be offending people. What he didn’t know was that the person he shouldn’t offend was already online!

Chen Xiao didn’t pay it much mind. After all, General Cao’s opinion was understandable; no one knew that he possessed such an incredible system!

But he had no idea that Jin Wuxian was already seething. Every word from General Cao had struck a nerve, hitting Shanyun Auto right where it hurt. His company was in just that awkward of a position.

For years, they had never managed to escape the shadow of financial loss. In fact, their losses were remarkably consistent. It was only thanks to his old man’s impressive fundraising skills—sweet-talking numerous tycoons into investing—that they had managed to stay afloat until now.

"Next, let’s have Painless and Itchless share his thoughts on the matter!"

Painless and Itchless took the mic. "I believe the next to go bankrupt will still be Junxing Auto. As for why, it’s because Junxiao Investment Group made a decision that was simultaneously right and wrong!"

"What’s right is their chosen path: full-stack, in-house R&D. It’s the correct approach. They’ve opted to develop all their core technologies themselves, from autonomous driving and smart cockpits to electric motors and electronic control units!"

"What’s wrong is also that same choice. Junxiao Group seems to be overestimating their own capabilities, or perhaps they’re underestimating the challenges that lie ahead!"

"Even a powerhouse like Prince Di hasn’t gone all-in on full-stack R&D across all these fields. What makes a newcomer like them think they can pull it off? This isn’t a wise move; it’s a classic case of biting off more than you can chew, a reckless and foolhardy endeavor! By trying to bloom everywhere at once, they’ll end up with all their fires extinguished."

"Junxiao Group might have some resources, but compared to juggernauts like Prince Di and Hongmeng Intelligent Selection, their funding is nothing. Trying to compete by burning cash in the new energy vehicle sector? I think the fumes have gone to their heads!"

’All right, Painless and Itchless, I’ll remember you. Just you wait, I’m going to make you eat your words.’

Xiangzi said, "Painless, you’re not usually this aggressive. What’s with the heavy artillery today?"

The main reason Painless and Itchless was so dismissive was that Junxiao Capital was a new player. He didn’t take them seriously at all.

’What? Junxiao Capital has resources? You’ve got to be kidding me. In the automotive game, there are several players with cash reserves approaching a hundred billion. Any one of them is more powerful than Junxiao Capital!’

’Besides, when it comes to building cars, has Junxiao Capital even graduated from kindergarten?’

"Next up, let’s hear from ’Young Man Rushing Forward’!"

Jin Wuxian cleared his throat and glanced at the comment section.

"Wow, the first two guests were ruthless. I wonder how this executive from Junxing Auto is going to respond?"

"We don’t know for sure if he’s from Junxing Auto. We’ll have to see what he says."

’Hm? They think I’m from Junxing Auto? I was just thinking I should be careful what I say online to avoid making enemies for my own company. But if you’re all going to assume I’m from Junxing Auto, then I can speak freely!’

’And if they find out I’m Jin Wuxian someday? Well, I never claimed to be from Junxing Auto. That was all your own speculation!’

He activated a voice modulator on his mic to avoid being recognized by anyone familiar with him.

"I think the next company to go under will probably be Feichi Auto."

Jin Wuxian stated his conclusion first, and the comment section erupted:

"Yep, that’s solid proof he’s from Junxing Auto!"

"Here comes the drama..."

"The next to go bankrupt is Feichi Auto. Do I even need to explain why? What does that brand have? Technology? Sales figures? Capital? Distribution channels?"

"It has none of the above. If it doesn’t go bankrupt, who will?"

Xiangzi interjected, "Feichi Auto’s distribution network is actually quite extensive. Their showrooms in major shopping malls are almost all in prime locations!"

Jin Wuxian retorted, "That’s only because their competitors haven’t gotten serious yet. The moment they do, Feichi is finished..."

The moment he said that, the comment section lit up again.

"Looks like Junxing Auto is about to go head-to-head with Feichi Auto over distribution channels."

"See? I told you ’Young Man Rushing Forward’ was from Junxing Auto!"

"He talks about competitors getting serious... Can a brand that just went through bankruptcy and restructuring even get serious?"

"Don’t underestimate Junxing Auto. Didn’t Xu Gang just announce their in-house motor and electronic control technology a few days ago? They said it’s a full generation ahead of the industry!"

"Yeah, and they’re also developing their own autonomous driving and smart cockpits. They must have deep pockets, otherwise they wouldn’t dare to invest so much!"

"I actually agree with Painless and Itchless. Junxiao Group must be full of rich fools who’ve underestimated the investment risks in these sectors!"

Jin Wuxian watched the comment section with great satisfaction. ’It’s perfect. From now on, no matter what crazy things I say, these people will just direct all their hate at Junxing Auto. It’s great having a scapegoat!’

Xiangzi was the only one who knew his real identity, but bound by confidentiality, he obviously wouldn’t reveal it.

"Alright, and now for our final guest, ’Greetings, President Chen!’"

It felt strange for Xiangzi to call out Chen Xiao’s screen name. This Key Opinion Consumer was really something else; every time you said his name, you were forced to say, "Greetings, President Chen!"

Whether he was actually a president was anyone’s guess, but it was a safe bet his last name was Chen.

Chen Xiao took the mic. It was his first time doing this, so he wasn’t very familiar with the setup.

"Host Xiangzi, hello everyone in the audience!"

Xiangzi said, "Don’t call me ’Host,’ just Xiangzi is fine!"

He complained internally, ’Can’t you take a hint? Change your name to ’Greetings, Chen!’ or ’Greetings, Xiao Chen!’ or something! Anything’s better!’

He was the only one on the stream who knew the identities of both Jin Wuxian and Chen Xiao. Of course, even Jin Wuxian didn’t know Chen Xiao’s true status; all he knew was that Chen Xiao worked at some high-tech company.

Chen Xiao had no idea what was going through Xiangzi’s mind, not that he would have cared. He’d chosen the screen name just for fun. As for actually liking being called President Chen, he really didn’t.

Xiangzi continued, "Next, let’s have ’Greetings, President Chen!’ share his perspective on the topic!"

Chen Xiao cleared his throat. Down in the comment section, everyone was waiting to see what bombshell this Key Opinion Consumer from ’Shanyun Auto’ would drop.

"Feichi Auto will be bankrupt by next year. Guaranteed."
