The richest man: I really don’t want to make money.

Chen Mo leaned back in his executive chair and began to plan his next move.

Regardless, the most urgent task now is to find a new investment project.

He has already come up with two plans that could consume the funds.

The first is Lan Yimeng, who helped with the promotion. Now that she's helping promote Tomorrow New Energy Vehicles, she definitely needs to be paid a certain signing fee.

However, this time he wants to give more, like last time, directly giving two hundred million, or even three hundred million.

However, the system prohibits it. According to the system, even if advertising fees are paid, they should be based on the value of the advertiser.

Alternatively, payments can be made based on the benefits generated by the advertising.

Even for a blogger with tens of millions of followers, Lan Yimeng's own promotional expenses would not reach hundreds of millions.

After all, some celebrities and actors earn hundreds of millions of yuan in film and television fees, which is already an astronomical sum.

Therefore, it is impossible to pay according to Lan Yimeng's intrinsic value. So, the second point is to pay according to the benefits she brings.

The last time we paid 200 million yuan for advertising, it was because the other party's advertising indirectly boosted the popularity of Xile Auto, causing Xile Auto's orders to surge.

That's why they can afford to pay 200 million yuan for advertising. But right now, Tomorrow New Energy Vehicles only has over 50,000 orders, so paying for advertising now definitely won't reach 100 million yuan.

However, Taiwan can delay for a while, allowing the number of orders for new energy vehicles to increase tomorrow, and then make payments later, which will result in a larger amount.

Therefore, Lan Yimeng's promotional activities can be put on hold for now.

However, he just thought of another investment project, which came to mind after reading the report on tomorrow's new energy vehicles.

That's a charging station for new energy vehicles. If a new energy vehicle runs out of power on the way, it definitely needs to be charged.

He could totally invest in the charging station project.

In his past life, he remembered that the charging station fees kept getting more and more expensive, and he could have easily insisted on not raising the price and keeping it at the same price.

Therefore, even if there is revenue later, the profit will not be much. Moreover, charging pile projects are nationwide projects, and the funds required for nationwide deployment will certainly not be a small amount.

However, he wasn't very familiar with the details of the charging station project, so he needed to call Chang Zishan over for a detailed discussion.

Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and called Chang Zishan.

Half an hour later,

Chang Zishan knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any arrangements?"

Chang Zishan walked to the desk and asked, "I just came over a couple of days ago to talk with President Chen about the development of the Tomorrow New Energy plant. I wonder why President Chen called me over today."

"Sit down and let's talk. I've seen your report today. Please thank blogger Lan Yimeng for me. I'll pay the corresponding publicity fees later."

Chen Mo looked at Chang Zishan and spoke.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I will contact Lan Yimeng when I get back."

Chang Zishan nodded upon hearing this.

"Hmm... Let's get down to business. I called you here today mainly to discuss the charging station."

"New energy vehicles definitely need to be charged outdoors, otherwise it will be very troublesome if the battery runs out of power on the road."

"I don't know your thoughts on charging stations, or what your plans are."

Chen Mo looked at Chang Zishan and asked.

"Mr. Chen, we are not actually responsible for the charging station issue. With the rise of new energy vehicles, many places have started to invest in charging stations."

"Several charging station brands have even emerged, and you can simply invest in a charging station and join a franchise. Our Tomorrow New Energy vehicle's charging port is the same as other new energy vehicles' charging ports."

"So even if we don't invest in charging stations, there are still places to charge. In addition, given the range of our new energy vehicles, the demand for charging stations is not that high unless we are going on a long trip."

Chang Zishan explained her thoughts in detail, revealing that she had seriously considered the charging station issue.

As she just said, given the range of tomorrow's new energy vehicles, the demand for charging stations is not high, so there is absolutely no need to invest in charging stations.

Upon hearing Chang Zishan's words, Chen Mo shook his head, thinking to himself, "If I don't invest, how will I use up my funds?"

"You haven't considered this thoroughly. If our new energy vehicles don't plan to travel long distances tomorrow, the demand for charging stations won't be high."

"Your assumption directly labels tomorrow's new energy vehicles as unable to travel long distances."

"But since I've already bought the car, even if I don't usually need to travel long distances, what if I suddenly need to go on a long trip one day? But considering the range issue, there's nothing I can do."

"And what about those who need to drive long distances frequently? This label directly excludes customers who travel long distances."

"Our new energy vehicles are intended for the general public, not just a specific group. Whether or not you need to travel long distances, there is no problem driving our Tomorrow new energy vehicle."

"Therefore, we must consider the issue of charging stations. You said that our charging port is the same as that of other new energy vehicles, so we can charge at other charging stations."

"But have you considered whether those charging stations are safe and up to standard?"

"So from a safety perspective, we also need to build our own charging stations to be responsible for our customers, right?"

Chen Mo looked at Chang Zishan and said in a serious tone.

Chang Zishan nodded slightly upon hearing Chen Mo's words.

"Mr. Chen, we really have no way of knowing whether the other charging stations are safe."

"That's right, so we need to build our own charging stations so that people who buy our Tomorrow New Energy vehicles can safely charge them at our charging stations."

Chen Mo smiled and continued.

"So the charging station will definitely be established. The main reason I called you here today is to learn about the investment in the charging station."

After hearing what President Chen said, Chang Zishan thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Mr. Chen, if you're going to invest in charging stations, you could consider establishing your own brand of charging stations and then earning franchise fees by recruiting franchisees."

"In that case, all we need to do is provide safe charging station facilities."

"We also need to inspect the location, but we don't need to worry about investing in a bad location and losing money in the end. We only earn the franchise fee."

Upon hearing Chang Zishan's suggestion, Chen Mo immediately shook his head and refused.

With this business model, he can just wait to get the money without any risk, and the capital consumption won't be too high.

What he wants is to invest in and build his own charging stations so that he can use more money.
