In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love.

Chapter 475: A Million Dollar Wealth is Not as Good as Treasure Your Own Broom

It is indeed unlikely to be Lei Jun.

He likes to brag a lot, but he rarely fights a battle he is not sure of winning.

Although they often call their competitors idiots at press conferences, they actually maintain a good relationship with them.

He is definitely worthy of his reputation as the Gentleman Sword.

The conclusion is self-evident by the process of elimination, but no one can say for sure since they don’t have any evidence.

When the prototype car was repeatedly covered with several bright and beautiful patterns, the "hearse theory" was fully launched everywhere, and the trend of the conversation was completely over.

Get away, you scoundrels! Don't try to do anything bad to me!
Lixiang Auto also issued an official announcement to thank netizens for their support and thank the large-scale users for their persistence. Therefore, a mysterious gift package worth 5,000 yuan will be given to these large-scale users when they lock in their orders in the future.

For a moment, those users who canceled their orders regretted it to death!
Second-hand orders in the seafood market are being snapped up like crazy!

After consulting with the legal department, Gao Tingting and Maizi took over the returned orders in the name of Jingxi Automobile, and then communicated with Li Xiang and released them one after another at a higher price!

Not only can you get repeat orders, but you can also make another profit!
So in the end, it was Li Xiang who called Zi Xiaowei, sounding exhausted and disinterested. "Okay, someone brought me a message. This matter ends here..."

Zi Xiaowei didn't ask who it was or why, but grinned as he wrote out the bill: "All expenses were discussed after the crisis PR was done. That's pretty generous of you, isn't it? You didn't charge the market price. Six million is for the brothers to have a good meal."

Li Xiang was surprised: "So cheap?!"

He is an expert and also the opinion leader behind the automotive media.

This time, after being hit by a cross-border flood, I realized that the little bit of public opinion power I had accumulated was really insignificant.

The professional voices of the automotive media are nothing in the face of the national carnival.

Six million can settle something like this... The orders released again in the seafood market will earn more than this amount.

Zi Xiaowei didn't elaborate further, "Most of them are students working part-time to earn some money. Their high energy levels naturally make them much more effective than mass messaging machines. One person can defeat a hundred. Plus, we're running an online celebrity community, so there are plenty of them outnumbering ten thousand. Of course, it looks like they've spent tens of millions on data traffic. That's why I'm confident we can go all out and crush them. We're never afraid of competing on cost!"

Li Xiang was silent for a moment. "Thank you for your help. I'm honored that you treat me like a friend. If you have anything to say, just talk to me next time."

Zi Xiaowei had his say: "Add a few more colors to the exterior and some fancy touches to the interior. Otherwise, it won't be able to withstand the competition from other competitors. Ultimately, it's a mismatch between price and product quality. If you sell it for 100,000 yuan, it doesn't matter if it's a hearse or a funeral car. It's still fragrant."

Li Xiang made no secret of it: "Besides thanking you, the first thing I want to do is to reduce the size of the L9 to a price of around to yuan. I'm not even ruling out a small SUV priced at yuan, gradually abandoning the luxury car concept. Of course, this step must be taken slowly to avoid backstabbing previous users."

Zi Xiaowei's explanation was simple and clear: "Chimao will not go small, so if you enter this segment, you are not competing with us. The other small cars in the Chimao series are all priced at 130,000 or 140,000 yuan, so there is even less competition. However, Changjiang Automobile is moving towards new energy and pure electric vehicles in the future... If nothing unexpected happens, within a few years, I will push Changjiang Automobile's new energy SUVs to become the main force in the global market. By then, the domestic market will definitely compete fiercely with you. I still suggest that we all go into the overseas market together."

Li Xiang gave a wry smile. "If a new media person like you can convince the bosses of traditional car companies to push for reform according to your ideas, there will be no place for new forces. What's more, you have become the successor. I started the car business just to seize this turning point. If I win the bet, I win. I didn't expect you to appear so soon. I'm a little bored and want to retire."

Zi Xiaowei smiled in his heart, I will either sacrifice every CEO or retire every chairman!

But think about it, because he represents a brand new way of playing, and the previous generation cannot keep up and learn from him, so they might as well collect their profits early and retire to enjoy their lives.

Li thought that this nesting doll idea would definitely increase sales, but it was also obvious that the profit of each car would drop sharply.

The company is in a situation where it sells a lot but earns little, and has completely fallen into a competition with large automakers in management and production capacity.

It will be a failure sooner or later!

"The international market is difficult, but there is work to be done. I look forward to working with you all to make it happen." Zi Xiaowei tried to be as sincere as possible.

Li Xiang was more sincere. "Let me think about it. I'm feeling a bit relieved now, but I'm under even greater pressure... I have some sales channels in Central Asia and Erros. I'll discuss this with you in detail after I've sorted them out. Oh, and the second thing is, someone asked me to pass on a message to you, asking you to stop controlling your own media. Haha, I'm just delivering the message, and of course, it's just between friends and brothers. I hope you don't suffer any losses because of this. You know the reason."

Zi Xiaowei immediately understood the Pingjing headquarters boss's intentions and said, "Of course I understand the importance of this, so I've handed over the management of online celebrity media and self-media to the School of Journalism at Southwest Associated University. This is an academic exercise under the supervision of relevant academic departments. Yes, I'll go find them to write this paper later."

Li Xiang was stunned for half a second before bursting into laughter, as if all the previous gloom had dissipated. "You have a very sophisticated scheme! Okay, okay, let them solve everything themselves within the system."

Zi Xiaowei was very relaxed: "Yes, otherwise what do you think I would do if I didn't take a cent and donated all the commission to the school?" The senior who had never attended university understood immediately and said repeatedly: "That's a good idea, I'll donate something and see."

Zi Xiaowei actually rode an electric scooter to the School of Journalism to discuss the thesis for this academic exercise.

Of course, before going, you have to report the progress of the whole process to the school leaders.

After agreeing on a 10% commission from Li Xiang, Zi Xiaowei decided to do so.

I reported it to Mr. Zhou as soon as I got back.

Therefore, the entire matter had been formally filed and submitted to the principal before taking office.

Usually, the presidents of domestic 985 universities are at the vice-ministerial level. Only a few schools are not at the high enough level, but the leaders are basically at this level.

211 is a low point, but super comprehensive universities like Southwest Associated University with a population of people generally have high positions, especially the secretary.

So Mr. Zhou’s level is really not low.

But as if he were looking after his own child, he sat outside the reception room of the ancient school leadership building, waving to Zi Xiaowei, who was using his skateboard without power, with a look of confusion: "If you don't lock it, will it fall off?"

Zi Xiaowei was more careful: "I've already lost two... They weren't stolen. My friends and students thought they were useful and just snatched them away. They weren't cheap."

Seeing his distressed look, Mr. Zhou was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. He put his arm around Zi Xiaowei's shoulders and walked away together: "How much?"

Zi Xiaowei's perspective on things is consistent with his personality: "This thing is very interesting, and it's a typical European and American creative product, but the price has always been very high, staying around one thousand US dollars. However, the production system is actually all in China. Once our scientific research system catches up, and we update the technology in all links to bypass patent protection, and we only focus on this consumer group and creative design, the cost will drop sharply. Three thousand, two thousand, and now you can buy low-quality products for four or five hundred. Well, what should we do?"

The old secretary was content: "Develop better technology?"

Zi Xiaowei nodded. "Mastering production capacity is only low-end manufacturing. Being able to draw inferences from past experiences and design more and better products is the path to industrial upgrading that truly controls the discourse power. Automakers invest tens of billions of dollars in this area every year. Universities shouldn't miss out on this opportunity."

The old secretary clapped his hands happily. Generally speaking, at this level, one should not express one's opinion lightly, so as not to cause too much impact.

But maybe he doesn't care anymore since he's retired, and he doesn't have the composure he had when practicing Tai Chi.

Just as Zi Xiaowei was about to say something else, the secretary respectfully opened the door and a voice from inside came out, "What makes Mr. Zhou so happy, Zi Xiaowei? You look like you need to learn some exercises from Mr. Zhou."

There were quite a few voices in the school leaders' reception room.

Anyone else would probably wonder if there is any hidden meaning in the words between you.

Zi Xiaowei wasn't afraid, nor did he dwell on it: "Hello, hello, hello. Summer is here, and I'm dehydrated from being busy. I'm going to take advantage of the summer break to exercise more and recover. I'm going to get into fitness next semester."

Moreover, Mr. Zhou directly chimed in: "Devoting all his energy to his work is the best way to describe his work state. I often criticize him, saying that health is the capital of revolution. Don't just sit there and think about solving problems for hours. Only with better health can you make more contributions."

The tone was one of undisguised disappointment, but the protectiveness was so strong that it was almost written on the public screen.

Several school leaders couldn't help but look at each other and said amiably, "Regarding this live broadcast of sales donations to new schools, I'm really a bit surprised. Come, sit down and have a good discussion."

The secretaries and assistants following the school leaders were all jealous.

With the support of the previous generation boss, he can also gain the favor of the current ones, which is unique among the students in the whole school.

Young academic leaders who can establish their own schools of thought rarely receive such treatment.

Of course, as soon as Zi Xiaowei opened his mouth, they understood: "Just now, I was talking to Mr. Zhou outside about riding that electric skateboard..."

Mr. Zhou sat far away with his legs crossed, drinking tea. He did not have the sophistication that one would expect from someone of his age or level. It seemed as if he was constantly urging everyone to listen, listen carefully, it was very nice to hear.

It's all spoiled.
