After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 438

the next day.

After convening a board meeting, Lin Ling announced his plans to manufacture cars.

Although the board members already knew that Lin Ling was going to build cars, they still couldn't help but shudder when they heard the news.

But what opinions could they possibly have? Over 90 percent of the shares were in Lin Ling's hands.

Even if they disagree, it's useless; they can only obediently complete their work.

Although most people were not optimistic, once selected to work at Lingyun Auto's branch, they could only do their best.

Otherwise, all they'll face is layoffs.

Lin Ling looked serious and said in a deep voice, "Although we are a drone R&D and manufacturing company and a mobile phone battery manufacturing company, we don't have much connection with the automotive industry."

"But! With our accumulated experience in mobile phone battery technology and the technical personnel we've recruited during this period, the automotive battery samples we produce can be considered among the top-tier in China in terms of technology."

"I believe everyone here is aware of this news, right?"

Everyone present nodded in agreement.

They are very proud of Lingyun Group's battery technology.

Even a major leap from manufacturing small batteries to large batteries didn't bother them.

After all, Lingyun Group's mobile phone battery technology is indeed leading in China and world-class.

"For electric vehicles, the most important things are batteries, motors, and electronic control technologies," Lin Ling said with a smile. "We've already got the batteries sorted out, and the electronic control technology isn't difficult to master either."

"As for the motor, the research and development cost is too high."

"Because we manufacture family cars, we don't have high requirements for motors, so we can purchase them first."

Everyone also nodded.

Lin Ling continued, "Now that the three core technologies (battery, motor, and electronic control) have been mastered, the issue is automobile production."

“Based on our experience with drone manufacturing plants, we can also master the operation of automobile manufacturing plants more quickly.”

What are your thoughts?

Zheng Tuanjie, head of the drone R&D department, said, "This also requires a high level of technology. My suggestion is to acquire an established automobile company."

"However, it seems that... we can't afford to acquire even the worst car company."

Everyone shook their heads and smiled wryly.

“Maybe…” Lin Ling smiled. “Maybe there really is a car company on the verge of bankruptcy that we can acquire.”

"Impossible, right?" The Minister of Information frowned. "According to the information I've gathered, these car companies are all state-owned enterprises, backed by national or local government officials. It's almost impossible for them to go bankrupt."

"I'll handle that," Lin Ling said with a faint smile.

According to my memories from my previous life, most domestic car companies were on the verge of collapse due to the impact of foreign joint venture automobiles.

Only a few leading companies are still surviving on cheap cars.

Other car companies are on the verge of bankruptcy.

If it weren't for the support of local and national policies, which mandated that all organizations purchase official vehicles from these car companies, these car companies would have gone out of business long ago.

However, local policies and national support are limited and cannot support so many car companies.

If you negotiate on your own, you can acquire a car company for a price far below its market value.

In later generations, many electric vehicle companies started by acquiring old car manufacturers.

Seeing Lin Ling speak with such certainty, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

Despite working together for so many years, Lin Ling remains a mystery to them.

At first, I thought Lin Ling was a self-made genius entrepreneur.

Later, I felt that Lin Ling was a naive young man who could be easily manipulated.

Later, they discovered that Lin Ling was ruthless.

But later, they were shocked to discover that Lin Ling's background was unfathomable.

White Dog, Director Kong, and the Zeng family—any one of them is an unreachable figure to them.

But Lin Ling killed them all.

This made them deeply respect Lin Ling's background and methods.
