Maybach EX, limited to five units in the world, with an estimated price of 4.2 million euros, or 28.66 million RMB.
Although this amount of money was nothing compared to their assets, it was a symbol of friendship as a gift.
Especially since it was a limited edition, one might not even be able to buy it.
Jiang Chen sent Carmen out of the company and looked at his phone.
It was only three in the afternoon. It was too early to go back, so he decided to sit in the office for a bit.
Because of the acquisition of Lingyu Technology, the Lingyu Technology building under construction was transferred to Future Technology with the acquiescence of the second largest shareholder, 361. It was officially renamed Future Technology Building.
Sure enough, with his own building, it felt different.
Jiang Chen leaned against the chair as he sat in the president's office on the top floor. He lazily looked out the window at the bustling street.
It was an amazing feeling.
Just half a year ago, he was just an ordinary person who walked at the bottom of society, doing nothing but running around for a meager salary. But now, he had earned the right to look down on everything.
On the other hand, he couldn't imagine just by looking at it.
In the future of another world line, this place would be desolate.
…
Different from the "traditional president image" with a stern face and carefully making decisions for the company, he was young and full of energy. His desk was clean, the kind of cleanliness where no documents could be seen.
His gaze was a little lazy as he stared motionlessly out of the window, watching the endless stream of cars and the hurried crowd on the street. She didn't know what was so interesting about those things. Other than crowded, she couldn't think of a better word to describe everything on the street.
The above was from Xia Shiyu's perspective.
She was standing in Jiang Chen's office.
Just like Jiang Chen quietly stared out the window, she also subconsciously stared at the side of his face. After observing for a while, she lost track of time.
They had worked together for a long time, but she still felt like she didn't understand him at all. And he seemed to know her like the back of his hand.
"Ahem, what's up?" Jiang Chen was the first to break the silence.
With Jiang Chen's observation skills, he noticed her the moment she walked in. What he didn't expect was that the girl didn't say anything, but instead stared at him blankly.
Speaking of which, I haven't had a good conversation with her since the last gathering.
"Ah, a little bit. Cough, cough. " Realizing that her tone was a bit panicky, Xia Shiyu coughed, adjusted her emotions, and put on a professional expression. "It's about the agreement with Daimler."
"Yes."
Jiang Chen turned around and slid the chair back to the desk. He sat up straight and said, "Go ahead."
"Using Future 1.0 on cars, is the boss planning to enter the automotive industry?" Xia Shiyu pushed up her glasses out of habit.
"I don't have any plans for now, but I can't rule out the possibility in the future." Jiang Chen shook his head. "Also, Daimler Corporation's customized system is not a port of Future 1.0. The development of the software will still be handed over to the overseas team. I will take care of it. "
Based on Jiang Chen's plan, Future Technology would not let go of the automotive industry. As a major selling point, artificial intelligence was naturally indispensable.
If that was the case, why would he accept Daimler Corporation's request to help them design this artificial intelligence autopilot system? It was not to give them a bite of the cake, but there was another layer of consideration.
Everyone knew that the quality of a car was only one aspect, but in some sense, the brand that took decades to build was more important.
For example, the quality of the Dongfeng car was not bad, but could it be sold at the price of a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW?
To a certain extent, the brand of the car could reflect the owner's status. To a large extent, a car was not just a means of transportation, but a symbol of status. In layman's terms, it was a tool to show off. Driving a Lamborghini, it would be easier to pick up girls than driving a Volkswagen.
The reason why he proposed to put the Future 1.0 logo on the boot screen was not to advertise. Since Daimler Corporation's new car equipped with an artificial intelligence autopilot system was positioned as a luxury car in the high-end market. Since it was positioned in the high-end market, the sales volume would not be high. As an advertisement, the efficiency would be low.
Jiang Chen was focused on the brand! He wanted to connect Future 1.0's brand to the high-end market. Using Daimler Corporation's new luxury car, he wanted to show off the Future 1.0 brand and prepare for its independent entry into the market.
Imagine, as long as you start a luxury car from Daimler Corporation with the system, you would see the eye-catching and eye-catching logo of Future 1.0. Naturally, Future 1.0's brand would be connected to the high-end market in the automotive industry.
As to the automobile manufacturers that seized the "opportunity" …
If Jiang Chen introduced an alternative energy vehicle with superior performance, it would be questionable if the automobile manufacturers would continue to exist. Just like how steam locomotives could not be seen.
Daimler Corporation would eventually become the stepping stone for the rise of Future Motors.
Of course, this was all in the future. Future Technology's next strategic focus was not the unrelated automobile, but the phone.
Xia Shiyu nodded.
"Then I'll leave this to you. On the other hand, Linhua Group sent you an invitation, inviting you to the Wanghai City Business Forum that will be held in three days. "
Then, Xia Shiyu took out a gilded invitation from her briefcase and placed it on the desk.
Linhua Corporation was a famous real estate developer in Wanghai City. But other than real estate development, they were also involved in retail and entertainment projects. They were one of the leading companies in Wanghai City.
"Wanghai City Business Forum?" Jiang Chen picked up the invitation from the table as he raised his eyebrows in confusion. He had never heard of this name before.
"Mhmm, the participants are all elites from different industries. Over a hundred million in assets is only one of the requirements. Whether or not you can participate depends on your influence in the industry. "Xia Shiyu nodded.
[A gathering of the rich?]
Jiang Chen's expression was dubious.
"Is there any benefit to participating in this kind of gathering?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's direct question, Xia Shiyu facepalmed.
"There are definitely benefits since it is a gathering of the upper class of Wanghai City. Interacting with people of the same level and making friends with the same goals, the accumulation of these connections is a type of wealth in itself. "
Hearing this, Jiang Chen touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Mhmm, then I'll go. Speaking of which, do I need to bring a female companion to this kind of gathering? "
Xia Shiyu paused for a moment before she said.
"Of course, it is possible to bring a female companion to the gathering."
"Okay, come with me," Jiang Chen said without hesitation.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he said this, Xia Shiyu's cold face suddenly turned red.
