In the private room.
"Mr. Yu, you really won’t consider investing in car manufacturing?
I think with Hua Wei’s strength, as long as they enter the car manufacturing market, it’s bound to be another hit product. The market prospects for new energy vehicles are definitely much bigger than those for smartphones!"
"Mr. Bao, Hua Wei strictly forbids entering the car manufacturing market, and this is a rule set by Mr. Ren.
If it’s about car infotainnt or intelligent components, then I think there might still be a possibility for collaboration."
Mr. Bao felt sowhat disappointed when he heard this.
His company’s main product was micro cars priced below 50,000, surviving only because of the governnt subsidies for new energy in recent years.
Intelligent components?
Wouldn’t that drive the price straight up to the 100,000 range?
How could a brand with the technological content and fa of "Idol" possibly retain any market then?
In the end, he wasn’t on the path of technological innovation at all!
Mr. Yu naturally knew what Mr. Bao’s business was all about – in simple terms, it was a "subsidy fraud" company.
They took governnt subsidies but did not invest in technology, solely focusing on expanding production to fleece the state of its funds, a business approach that was completely opposite of Hua Wei’s philosophy.
Even if he agreed, it definitely wouldn’t pass Mr. Ren’s approval.
Seeking investnt from them was rely an attempt to cling to the famous Hua Wei brand.
After shutting down the other party’s proposal for partnership with a single sentence, Mr. Yu glanced at his watch.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Hu, it’s getting late, and I need to catch a flight back to Yangcheng City today, so I won’t stay any longer."
"Right! I should take my leave too, my wife is waiting for to have dinner at ho." Brother Dong took the opportunity to stand and say.
"Mr. Liu, such a doting husband to your beautiful spouse, really makes others envious, haha!" Mr. Yu joked.
"Haha!" Brother Dong just laughed.
"Alright! Then let see the two of you out. I didn’t host you well today, Mr. Yu. Next ti you co to Su City, you definitely have to let be a good host!" Yifei said with a smile.
"Of course, I still need to report to Mayor Hu face-to-face about our smart city collaboration project in Su City, haha!" Mr. Yu said, nodding with a smile.
After that, he turned his head to Brother Dong.
"Mr. Liu, if you have ti next week, I’d like to visit and learn more about the intelligent supply chain we just discussed. You wouldn’t mind coming over to learn a few things, would you?"
"Haha! It would be an honor for Jingdong to have Mr. Yu take an interest. Unfortunately, I’ll probably be overseas all of next week; I’m leaving this Monday.
But I will arrange for my deputy to take care of everything in my absence."
"Oh? Where are you going next week, Mr. Liu?"
"The beautiful Sudamini State in the US..."
Hmm?!
Just as he finished speaking, Mr. Yu was montarily stunned, and almost imdiately afterward, Brother Dong was also taken aback.
The next mont, both of them almost simultaneously twitched the corners of their mouths.
"What are you thinking about?"
"What are you thinking, of course, I am thinking the sa! When one door closes, another opens... Hahaha!"
Brother Dong gave him a nonplussed look.
"You’re laughing with such a radiant expression. Are you worried you’re not burning brightly enough?"
"Er..."
Their odd interaction left Yifei and the others utterly confused.
What’s all this about one door closing and another opening?
And sothing about not burning brightly enough?
What on earth were the two of them talking about?
After seeing off the two bigwigs, Yifei continued the conversation with Mr. Bao and Mr. Qu for a while longer, and the eting ended on good terms.
"Mr. Hu, I’ll be waiting for good news then." Mr. Bao said with a smile as he shook hands with Yifei.
Although he hadn’t secured the major backer, it seed he had almost won over Mr. Hu.
"Sure, once I go back, I’ll discuss it with my investnt partners and get back to you with an answer as soon as possible!" Yifei replied with a smile.
After seeing off Mr. Bao, he then turned to Mr. Qu.
"Mr. Qu, what do you think? Are you interested in co-investing?"
Mr. Qu smiled and waved his hand. "I’m the type to let professionals handle their areas of expertise. I don’t understand car manufacturing, so I won’t take that risk. I’ll stick to producing my films.
But about that movie I just ntioned, Mr. Hu, would you be interested in coming on board?
I’ve read the script, and it really is good!"
"I’m interested, sure, but like you said, it’s being directed by a newcor and it’s also about the niche topic of racing. I and a few other investors still have our reservations.
Movies are a high-risk investnt, and we can’t afford to gamble like you can.
Let think about it!"
Mr. Qu didn’t seem too disappointed by Yifei’s lukewarm investnt interest and just smiled.
"Haha! Alright then, Mr. Hu, we’ll be in touch later!"
After saying goodbye to Mr. Qu, Yifei sat back down to think, and Weiwei ca over affectionately with a piece of fruit.
"Yifei, it seems like you’re more interested in Mr. Bao’s project?"
"Yeah! The country has been supporting new energy in recent years, promoting emission reduction and environntal protection. Getting involved now could catch the favorable winds!"
Yifei said with a smile as he ate the fruit.
Then he suddenly thought of sothing.
"Oh, that guy nad ng Lang, did Sister Weiwei disclose anything?"
"No! Weiwei kept her mouth shut tight this ti, not even a whisper of information.
Hey! Do you think Sister Weiwei has a thing for him?
But looking at his appearance and how he dresses, he seems so ordinary..."
"Haha! You didn’t see it?"
"See what?"
"His identity!"
"What identity? Oh! Are you implying that he cos from a distinguished background because you seed quite attentive to him just now?"
"Not exactly that, haha! Do you rember the masked racer that Sister brought along?" Yifei asked with a mysterious smile.
"Of course! Ah? You an..." Weiwei finally caught on.
"That’s right! It’s him!" Yifei said, nodding confidently.
