1022: Chapter 104 Hurry Up, Child 1022: Chapter 104 Hurry Up, Child “Invest money, recruit people, build organizational systems, establish research departnts, streamline supply chains—oh, and marketing and channel developnt.
What’s so hard about it?”
Cheng Daqi took a sip of his drink and asked.
The blonde woman rolled her beautiful eyes and retorted.
“Sir, every word you say sounds simple, but the corresponding problems are overwhelming.
I need a deputy with enough experience in the auto industry—or I can be the deputy and help oversee things.”
Lisa wasn’t soone particularly interested in fighting for power.
It’s simple: the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
Her sowhat perfectionist nature wouldn’t tolerate too many failures in her life.
Cheng’s moves often appeared puzzling to outsiders, but looking back, they always seed ticulously calculated to control every detail.
When it ca to building cars, Cheng clearly devoted significant effort, even involving mbers of Arica’s so-called ‘Deep State’ to visit Hua Country for inspections.
Seeing how much importance her boss placed on it, Lisa felt not only recognized but also pressured.
If she ssed up, how could she face Cheng Daqi?
Besides, there was Mi’er in the mix.
When the ti ca, how would Mi’er mock her?
To be frank, Lisa wasn’t entirely at ease about taking over Faraday Future.
“Feeling the pressure?” Cheng Daqi teased.
Lisa smiled wryly and pointed at the television, sighing.
“Of course I do.
Look at him!
He can swindle hundreds of millions, withstand LAPD investigations, and brazen it out on TV shows without skipping a beat.
People like him are just average players in this industry.
Chan, the auto industry offers almost unlimited opportunities and imnse value, which is why smart people keep flocking to it.
You might stand out; you might use policy-level maneuvers to navigate trade turbulence and gain competitive edges.
But those advantages are far less pivotal than you think.
Our competitors include the world’s most exceptional tech leaders, the most prestigious traditional brands, and the most competitive new-generation Hua Country automakers.
If we can’t find enough reliable people, Chan, no matter how much money you invest, it’s useless!”
What does it an to have ‘our own people’?
Lisa was soone as trustworthy as could be, and her identity was fitting.
This kind of talk—would Gru or Li Haiping dare say it?
They were rely tools of Cheng Daqi, without much courage to speak out of turn.
Would Wolf or Crusoe speak up?
They were Cheng’s allies by mutual interest, but if Cheng ever found himself at a disadvantage, they’d seize the opportunity to turn the tables.
As long as it didn’t affect their interests, they’d enjoy watching Cheng crash into walls.
This kind of frank insight—only close partners like Mi’er and Lisa would bring it up to Cheng.
“Indeed, the process is unquestionably a long adventure, but…
Lisa, truly valuable things often co intertwined with risks and competition.
What I can do is design proper risk isolation for the project, prepare sufficient funding, arrange solid logistics, and provide you with a stage to perform.”
Cheng’s tone was different than usual, less confident and more cautious.
Building cars—a venture demanding billions in investnt—wasn’t a decision to make lightly.
But for Cheng, this decision was inevitable.
If not cars, he’d have to find breakthroughs elsewhere to guide his capital empire toward expansion.
Privatizing Arica’s largest prisons was expansion.
Betting on opportunities in Hua Country’s rising automotive industry was expansion.
Streamlining and optimizing the functions of New Era’s various subsidiaries was expansion.
And naturally, leveraging Shanhaiguan’s IPO as a financing platform was also expansion.
He couldn’t stop moving forward.
Walking this path had already demanded too much sacrifice—there was no turning back for him now.
“What if I don’t perform well?”
Seeing Cheng express his thoughts so candidly, the blonde woman laid bare her worries.
“Boss, I understand your decision, even if it’s abstract.
But I’m afraid I might not be able to handle it.”
“You won’t.
Your opponents aren’t as strong as you think.
Relax.”
Cheng replied with notable confidence.
In modern business competition, there are two ways to win: one is to have strong capabilities.
The other is to wait for the other side to make mistakes—a scenario that has countless examples.
With Cheng’s information advantage, he could ensure that, for a while at least, Faraday Future wouldn’t “make mistakes.”
“Not as strong as I think—wait…
does Faraday Future have so sort of core technology?”
The blonde woman asked eagerly.
Cheng lifted his chin, signaling Lisa to look at the TV.
“Look at him.
Does that look like soone with core technology?”
Lisa glanced at the television.
Amusingly, Lao Jia was just talking about how advanced BEC’s technology was.
On screen, Lao Jia wore a deep gray casual suit and was fluently hyping things up in English.
“…Our technology is disruptive.
Many people use this as a reason to criticize BEC and other cryptocurrencies, claiming they’re risky.
But that’s just the dying cries of people being left behind by the tis.
Their ideas are outdated; their models are nearing collapse.
Yet inertia prevents them from turning things around, so they continue down this erroneous path.
Thus, the reason they attack is simple—jealousy of BEC’s excellence!
Why is BEC under investigation?
It’s straightforward!
Those fraudsters attacking want soone like —soone truly striving for the rights of Arica’s investors—to perish!
I’ve blocked their path to deceiving ordinary investors!”
If he weren’t still seated, Accountant Jia would undoubtedly swing his arms enthusiastically to hype up the audience.
