Chapter 620: The Big News at the Press Conference

Two o'clock in the afternoon, fifteen minutes before the start of the press conference.

Ao Daier, Matsuda Shunjing, Liu Yu, Zhang Guofang and his wife walked into the banquet hall of the Jiangyang Hilton Hotel.

"The press conference held by the Balance Fund and Daimler is said to have invited more than 100 large media, and even the German central media was invited by Daimler's headquarters to personally send a film crew to Jiangyang. Is it necessary for the release of a factory trial operation to be so grand?" Zhang Guofang said.

"They want to use the press conference to take the opportunity to promote the brand concept of Mercedes-Benz's new technology cars to the world, and to warm up the market for the official production of the automobile factory in the autumn," said Matsuda. It's just a conventional means of operation, and the factory we work with will also be put into trial operation in August, and if Mr. Zhang is willing, the press conference before the trial operation can also be done on this scale. ”

Several people talked, found their respective positions in the venue, and sat down calmly.

Matsuda Shunjing saw that Audrey sat down and his eyes wandered, and he glanced around the venue that was close to fullness, so he leaned over to Audrey's position and asked, "Is Miss Della looking at Wang Luolai?"

At such an important press conference, Cai Che had to come from Germany in person in order to show his support for the new factory, and Wang Luo had no reason not to show up. Audrey stroked her long, wavy brown hair.

Matsuda Shunjing said: "Miss Dai'er actually doesn't need to pay too much attention to Wang Luo. ”

"Oh?" Audrey retracted her gaze and looked at Matsuda Shunkei.

"At the last automotive industry summit held in the capital of China, Wang Luo told us that the Balance Fund and Abu Dhabi will cooperate to establish nine automotive research institutions at the same time...... As a result, months later, I remember what he said very well, but the reality is that so far, Abu Dhabi and the Balanced Fund have not taken any real action. ”

Matsuda said slowly: "I have analyzed this at the beginning, whether it is the Balanced Fund or Abu Dhabi, because of the blind investment everywhere, resulting in a shortage of funds. The further the automobile industry goes, the more huge the R&D funds continue to be invested, which is an industry that must continue to invest highly, otherwise it will be overtaken and eliminated by competitors.

The Balanced Fund is now showing signs of a shortage of funds, so I conclude that it will sink into the automotive industry and gradually decline. And I myself have never believed in any so-called business wizards, so there is really no need to pay too much attention to Wang Luo. Does Miss Dale think I have a point?"

Matsuda Shunjing asked the coquettish Ao Dai the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, and asked with blazing eyes.

Ao Daier didn't respond to his words, but Liu Yu on the other side echoed: "I think what Mr. Matsuda said makes sense, I also think that Wang Luo can develop, there is an element of luck, a student who has not graduated from college, how many catties can be not said, I heard Mr. Xiao's assistant Miss Xin say that Wang Luo was able to start his career in the early stage, and he completely relied on Su Yan's support, far from having any business talent." ”

At this time, there was a slight agitation in the venue, but on the podium in front of him, Daimler President Cai Che, Vice President Mao Jingbo, as well as Abu Dhabi Fund's Ilaum, China Investment Vice President Xu Mingliang and other important figures appeared on the stage together.

Wang Luo's representative on the stage was Li Jibu, vice president of Tianjiao's commercial operations, and Enrui Jude, the technical director of the new automobile plant and a former executive of Volkswagen Group. In addition, there is a white woman, dressed in a cold gray professional suit, around thirty-six or seventeen years old, with a good charm and a capable temperament.

This woman is an American, whose Chinese name is Schumann, is Su Yan's senior sister when she was studying abroad, and is also a high-end management talent with a keen sense of business, who was recruited by Su Yan and is currently serving as the chief operating director of the Balance Fund.

The group took their seats on the rostrum, and the press conference began.

First of all, Mao Jingbo announced that the Mercedes-Benz New Technology Automobile Company, which is a cooperation between Daimler and Balance Fund, will be officially put into trial operation half a month later, that is, on July 1, and is expected to start production in the fall of this year.

The process that followed the press conference was followed by Eversheds, as the chief technical officer, who explained the technical development direction of the new plant.

Matsuda Shunjing didn't know that Mercedes-Benz New Technology had invited the industry's well-known Eversheds Jude to join, and when he saw Eversheds appear at the press conference, his expression changed slightly, and his small eyes sparkled, revealing a thoughtful look.

After that, Cai Che personally announced the second major news of this press conference - Daimler's parent company will spin off the third and fourth two automotive research institutes, integrate them into the newly established technology automobile, and provide them with comprehensive technical support.

Hearing this, a look of mockery appeared on Matsuda Shunkei's face.

You don't have to think about it to know that Daimler has taken such a big support for new technology cars, and the price paid by Wang Luo behind it must be very amazing.

This will undoubtedly further tie up the funds of the Balanced Fund, further pushing the already insufficient capital chain of the Balanced Fund to the brink of exhaustion.

Therefore, Matsuda Shunjing was not surprised when he heard Cai Che's announcement of the second news, and it was expected that after the balanced fund entered the automobile industry, it was already under huge financial pressure under the continuous high investment, exposing a big problem, if it could not be properly solved, it would be difficult to persist for a long time.

At this time, after Cai Che on the stage finished speaking, Iraum represented the Abu Dhabi Fund, and Schumann represented the Balance Fund, jointly announcing the third news of the press conference.

“…… The Balanced Fund and the Abu Dhabi Fund will work together to share the capital contribution equally in the next phase, with each company contributing $1.3 billion, for a total of $2.6 billion. At the same time, it is in Silicon Valley in the United States, Tokyo in Japan, Stewart in Germany, the capital of China, and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates...... 11 large-scale institutions integrating R&D, design and production of new automobiles were established. These 11 institutions are mainly engaged in technological innovation research in the automotive industry, but are not limited to the automotive industry......"

The interpreter on the stage translated Iraum's Arabic into English and German, and spoke it twice.

What Iraum and Schumann said afterwards was not much of a concern for Matsuda and opened 11 large automotive R&D institutions at the same time, two more than the nine that Wang Luo had told them at the auto summit a few months ago.

The news came as a big surprise to Matsuda.

The key is that the balanced fund has the ability to spend 1.3 billion yuan on technology investment at this stage, which is enough to show that the balance fund has sufficient funds, far beyond their previous judgment.

In the case that it is not clear that Wang Luo can use his foresight ability to avoid risks and make crazy money from the international finance, foreign exchange, and stock markets like withdrawals, the strength of the balance fund's capital reserves is indeed extremely shocking and unexpected.

Suddenly hearing that the Balance Fund and Abu Dhabi were cooperating to come up with a huge amount of $2.6 billion for the establishment of a research and development institution, Matsuda Shunjing was stunned as if he had been beaten, and subconsciously turned his head and looked at Ao Daier, Liu Yu, and Zhang Guofang, who also looked stunned.

When hearing the announcement of a series of shocking news, Audrey's eyes wandered around the venue almost uncontrollably, but she still didn't find Wang Luo appearing in the venue.

At such an important press conference, he never showed up.

Audrey saw Wang Luo again at the reception dinner held by Mercedes-Benz New Technology after the press conference.
