Chapter 218: The Importance of Branding

The Maybach EX is limited to 5 units worldwide, and the estimated price is 4.2 million euros, equivalent to 28.66 million yuan.

Although this money is nothing compared to the assets of the two of them, it is undoubtedly a symbol of friendship as a gift.

What's more, it is a global limited edition, so you may not be able to buy it if you want to.

Sending Carmen out of the company, Jiang Chen looked at his phone.

It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still a little too early to go back, so he decided to go back to his office and sit for a while.

Due to the acquisition of Lingyu Technology, the Lingyu Technology Building under construction was also transferred to the future technology with the tacit consent of the second largest shareholder 361, and was officially renamed the Future Technology Building.

Sure enough, with my own office building, it feels different.

Leaning on the boss's chair, Jiang Chen sat in the chairman's office on the top floor, lazily overlooking the bustling street scene outside the window.

It's a truly amazing feeling.

Just half a year ago, he was just one of those ordinary people walking at the bottom, running around for that meager salary. Now, though, he's qualified to look down on it all.

On the other hand, just looking at it, he really couldn't think about it.

In the future of another world line, it will be a desolate place

Unlike the "traditional chairman image" with a dignified face and conscientious decision-making on the company's affairs, he is young and energetic. His desk was clean, the kind that he couldn't see the papers.

His gaze was a little lazy, just looking out the window motionlessly. Look at the endless stream of cars and crowds of people on the streets. I don't know what's so nice about those things, except for the crowding. She couldn't think of a better word to describe everything on the street.

The above is Xia Shiyu's perspective.

At this moment, she was standing in Jiang Chen's office.

Just as Jiang Chen quietly looked out the window, she also looked at his side face unconsciously. I watched for a long time, so much so that I forgot the time.

The time they have worked together has not been short, but she always feels that she still does not know anything about him. And he seems to know himself well.

"Ahem, what's the matter?" The first to break this silence was Jiang Chen.

With Jiang Chen's insight, he noticed her from the moment she first came in. It's just that what he didn't expect was that this chick didn't speak, but looked at herself stunned.

Speaking of which. I haven't spoken to her much since the last meeting.

"Ah, yes, a little. Ahem," Xia Shiyu, who realized that her tone was a little flustered, coughed lightly, adjusted her mood, changed her professional expression, and spoke again, "It's about the agreement with Daimler just now." ”

"Hmm."

Jiang Chen turned around and slid back to his desk in his chair. After sitting up straight, he said, "Say it." ”

"Applying the Future Man 1.0 system to automobiles, is the boss planning to enter the automotive industry?" Xia Shiyu habitually pushed her glasses and asked.

"There is no such plan for the time being, but it is not ruled out that there is a possibility in the future." Jiang Chen shook his head. "In addition, the system customized by Daimler Group is not a transplant of Future Man 1.0. Software development is still done by overseas teams. I'll take care of that. ”

According to Jiang Chen's plan, Futureman Technology will naturally not let go of the big cake of the automotive industry. As a big selling point. Artificial intelligence is indispensable.

If that's the case, then why accept the commission from the Daim Group. What about helping them design this AI-powered autonomous driving system? Of course, this is not to reach out the cake for them to take a bite first, but it has another layer of consideration.

As we all know, quality is one thing, but in a sense, what is more important is the brand that takes decades to operate.

To give a very simple example, the quality of Dongfeng Motor is actually quite good, but can it be sold at the price of Mercedes-Benz BMW?

To a certain extent, the brand of the car can show the value of the owner. To a large extent, the car is no longer just a means of transportation, but a status symbol. In layman's terms, it is to pretend to be a tool, and it is definitely smoother to drive a Lamborghini than to drive a Volkswagen.

The reason why it is proposed to put the logo of Future Man 1.0 on the boot screen of the system boot is not for the purpose of advertising. After all, the new car launched by Daimler Group equipped with an artificial intelligence autonomous driving system is positioned as a luxury car in the high-end market. Since it is positioned in the high-end market, it is destined that the sales will not be very high, and as an advertisement, the efficiency is naturally extremely low.

Jiang Chen takes a fancy to the brand! Let the brand of Future Man 1.0 be linked to the high-end market. With the new luxury car launched by Daimler Group, the brand of Future Man 1.0 will be shown, and it will warm up for independent entry into the market.

Imagine that as soon as you start the luxury car launched by Daimler Group that includes this system, you will see the eye-catching and cool logo of Future Man 1.0. Naturally, the trademark of Future Man 1.0 will be touched in the automotive field and the high-end market.

As for those car manufacturers who have seized the "first opportunity".

If Jiang Chen launches a new energy vehicle with better performance, it will be a question whether those car manufacturers will continue to exist. It's as if you can't see a steam locomotive these days.

The Daimler Group will eventually become a stepping stone for the rise of the future people's automobiles.

Of course, these are all things for later, and the next strategic focus of Future People Technology is not the untouched car, but the mobile phone.

Hearing this, Xia Shiyu nodded.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you to negotiate. On the other hand, Linhua Group has sent you an invitation letter inviting you to participate in the Wanghai Business Forum to be held in 3 days. ”

After speaking, Xia Shiyu took out a gilded invitation from her briefcase and put it on the desk.

Linhua Group, a well-known real estate developer in Wanghai City. However, in addition to real estate development, they are also involved in retail, entertainment and other projects, and they are also one of the leading enterprises in Wanghai City.

"Wanghai City Business Forum?" Picking up the invitation from the table, Jiang Chen frowned in confusion, he had never heard of this name.

"Well, it is said that the participants are all elites from all walks of life. Assets of more than 100 million yuan is only one of the thresholds, and whether you can be qualified to participate depends on your influence in the industry. Xia Shiyu nodded and said.

Is there a local tyrant party?

The expression on Jiang Chen's face was a little playful.

"Is there any benefit to attending this kind of party?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's question so direct, Xia Shiyu couldn't help but hold her forehead.

"There must be benefits, after all, it is a gathering of the upper class society in Wanghai City. Contact more with people at the same level and make some like-minded friends, and the accumulation of these contacts is a kind of wealth in itself. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Well, I'd better go down then. Speaking of which, do you need to bring a female companion for such a party? ”

Stunned, Xia Shiyu immediately said.

"Of course, it is naturally feasible to bring female dependents to the party."

"Okay, you can go with me." Without thinking about it, Jiang Chen spoke.

However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he said this, Xia Shiyu's cold face turned red. (To be continued......)
