"It's not that I really want to build a car, but I just thought about it suddenly."

Lei Jun told Cao Shujie that some time ago, Sister Dong of Gree Electric called him and said that she was also preparing to test new energy vehicles.

"NIO, Ideal, Xpeng ......"

"There is also the Yangtze River EV established by relying on Xiangjiang Lao Li, the original Hangzhou bus factory, the total investment is expected to exceed 5 billion yuan, but I am not optimistic about this, for the car factory, what can 5 billion do?"

"There is also Chang Wei (Chang Wei) Automobile a few years ago, which said that it would compete with BYD at the beginning, and it is still a listed company."

"There is also Min'an Automobile invested by Minth Group, you may not be familiar with this name, but they are a world-renowned auto parts manufacturer that provides high-end exterior parts for BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Toyota and other brand cars."

"Earlier this year, Hanergy also unveiled four concept car ...... equipped with solar panels"

"Some time ago, IDG also invested in a car company called Dia One-dimension, Mr. Cao, you may not have heard of it."

"Future, Electric Coffee, Ranger, Byton, Yinlong ......"

"By the way, Yinlong is what Sister Dong wants to invest, and the name has been thought of, and it is said that tens of billions of funds will also be invested."

Lei Jun gave many examples, and also introduced a lot of gossip materials to Cao Shujie.

Some of them were familiar to Cao Shujie, but more of them he had never heard of at all.

Because Lei Jun himself is an investor, his understanding of the new energy vehicle industry is not much worse than that of insiders.

But he is also well aware that the technology in this area is still immature.

In particular, some inexplicable cross-industry investments, or billions or tens of billions of investments, feel unreliable no matter how you look at them.

Unless it is the transformation of some traditional car companies and has a very strong technical background, it is really difficult to say the result.

"Mr. Cao, what do you think about this matter?" Lei Jun asked.

Cao Shujie doesn't know how to look at it.

In his impression, most of the so-called new energy vehicles that have emerged in recent years are for fraudulent subsidies, fraudulent loans, and fraudulent investment......

After waiting for a large amount of money in the unit of 100 million yuan, it has not bubbled up for several years, and it has not been done for a long time.

In his previous life, Cao Shujie had heard too many news about the bankruptcy of new car-making companies, and billions or even tens of billions of funds were spent in a few years, but he didn't see a single mass-produced car.

He has also heard the news that the boss of the new power car company quietly ran away, and the employee has not received his salary for a few months or a whole year, which is pure love and dedication!

After thinking about it, he thought of a more reliable word: "Circle money!" ”

"Smack!" Lei Jun slapped the tabletop, and the tableware on the table that shook was clanging.

"That's right, Mr. Cao still dares to tell the truth, I think they just want to make money." Lei Jun had some indescribable emotions on his face.

Cao Shujie looked at it carefully, and always felt that he was a little indignant!

This made Cao Shujie very puzzled, was he angry?

"Mr. Lei, drink another one." Cao Shujie picked up his glass and did not continue to discuss this topic.

He always felt that if he continued to discuss, he himself was in danger, so don't get into it again.

Lei Jun didn't think much about it, but he still said to Cao Shujie: "Mr. Cao, this bad idea to build a car was given to me by you, if I want to play one day, I will definitely take you with me, just see how many years your money can be lost." ”

Cao Shujie: "......"

Old Lei, I thank you so much!

At least the year he was reborn in 2023, Lei Jun's creation of Xiaomi cars has been in the news and various small compositions, he doesn't know what the final result of Xiaomi cars will be?

Is it like other new power car companies to sink into the sand?

Or do you really make something and then go viral all over the world?

To be honest, if Lei Jun really shouted at him to invest, Cao Shujie would still be a little resistant.

He came up with this idea for Lei Jun because he knew that Lei Jun had really done this in his previous life, but he didn't know what the specific result was.

He's a little bit of a bad taste.

Lei Jun didn't know what Cao Shujie was thinking, but he looked at the expression on Cao Shujie's face, and guessed a little something, and laughed: "Mr. Cao, what kind of expression do you have, don't believe me?" ”

"How so?" Cao Shujie shook his head in denial.

"Ray is always who, if you really want to build a car, I am 100% confident that you will succeed!" Cao Shujie said.

This is a person who made a mobile phone in two years and became the first in the industry in five years!

Although many people have some criticism of him for making mobile phones, it is undeniable that he really did it, and he also brought down the once high price of mobile phones with reality.

Lei Jun shook the wine in the wine glass with great satisfaction, and he said a little lonely: "Those who know me, Mr. Cao!" ”

The corners of Cao Shujie's mouth twitched, he couldn't stand the crepe Lei Jun, and he always felt that Lao Lei didn't hold back his fart!

The two of them were drinking and chatting here, Meng Meng, Lei Xinyi and Rui Rui, the three children, began to get sleepy early and went to rest first.

Later, even Zhang Tong and Cheng Xiaolin went to rest.

Before leaving, Zhang Tong also told the two of them that the dishes and chopsticks were placed on the table, and someone would naturally clean them up.

Cao Shujie and Lei Jun chatted until late at night, and they talked very happily.

Early the next morning, Lei Jun went to work in the company.

Cao Shujie took his wife and children, and Zhang Tong also took his daughter Lei Xinyi to play together.

There is no clear purpose either.

However, the three children got together, and it was very lively in itself.

Just looking at them, I feel very happy.

It's that his son Cao Yirui is still too young, only a little more than a year old, and he can't walk steadily, otherwise the combination of three children can be more lively.

After eating outside at noon and playing outside in the afternoon, Lei Jun called his wife and asked where they were?

When are you going home?

Cao Shujie and the others returned to Lei Jun's villa.

……

It was dark and bright, a perfect cycle.

When a new day came, Cheng Xiaolin and Zhang Tong took their three children out to the mall.

Song Baoming and another bodyguard of Lei Jun followed out together, protecting the left and right.

Cao Shujie followed Lei Jun to the auction site held by Rong Baozhai in the capital.

This time, the auction was held at the Fuli Hotel in Beijing.

Different from the past, Rong Bao Zhai also launched an online synchronous auction for the first time this time.

After Cao Shujie and Lei Jun came over together, they saw that the promotional information said that this auction has Qi Baishi, Li Keran, Qi Gong and other classics!

This is also to make this offline and online simultaneous shooting special session more successful, and deliberately come up with some dry goods.

According to reports, this auction hall A 5 heavyweight special sessions will be logged into Rong Bao Zhai online, including modern and modern, ancient calligraphy and painting special session, letter special session, collection of treasures special session, etc.

"Mr. Cao, how do you do landscape painting? This time, there are Qi Baishi's camellia double bird fan, in addition to Dong Shouping's Huangshan smoke and rain ink on paper, Wang Xuetao's "Pine Crane Picture", and Mr. Qigong's "Seven Words of Poetry", if Mr. Cao is interested, take a pair and hang it in the office, it is still very good. Lei Jun introduced him.

Cao Shujie was a little embarrassed, he found that he didn't understand more unpopular knowledge today, at least what Lao Lei just introduced, he hadn't heard of it, let alone how valuable they were?

What's the use of slapping this thing back to be elegant?

If someone asked, he didn't know how to explain it.

Before Cao Shujie could speak, he heard two middle-aged people in front of him who looked at him about 50 years old and said with a smile: "I just saw the fan of Master Liang Shunian's "Hidden Picture of Streams and Mountains and Fishing", the picture is taken between Shitao and Shixi, and the painting is really good. ”

"There is also another authentic painting of Mr. Qi Baishi's "Plum Sparrow Picture", have you seen it, the painting is lifelike, it is really wonderful!"

Cao Shujie was stunned, and there were two works that he had never heard of.

He himself said, "It looks like I have a lot to learn." ”

Lei Jun smiled: "Mr. Cao, I think too much, there are so many things to learn in the world, people have limited time in this life, how can they learn, you just need to understand what you like." ”

Cao Shujie thoughtfully: "Mr. Lei is right, it's me who is in the picture." ”

"By the way, what did Mr. Lei come over today to buy?" Cao Shujie thought for a moment before he said, "The seal is right?" ”

"Well, I'm going to buy a stamp and go back and use it myself." Lei Jun said.

Cao Shujie wondered, and he added: "Mr. Lei, as far as I know, the seals that can be auctioned generally have owners, have they been used before?" ”

He wasn't so sure, and Lei Jun confirmed it to him.

In Lei Jun's words, it is not easy to find good materials now, and he has no choice, so he can only buy an old object and find a carving master to process it.

But Lei Jun also said that sometimes he will specialize in selling materials, which depends on luck.

"That's how it's fun." Cao Shujie instantly understood, secondary processing.

"How much is it?" He was curious.

Lei Jun obviously has his own plan, he said to Cao Shujie: "If it is good material and looks good, between 800,000 and 2 million, it should be fair." ”

"Huh!" Cao Shujie smiled, it's just that, it's really not expensive.

After all, there is a saying that is very true, it is hard to buy money and good hearts!

They came all the way to look at the lots displayed in the special glass display case, Cao Shujie saw the works that Lei Jun had just told him, and also saw the two works discussed by the two people who met on the road just now, and also saw more of the four treasures of the study.

Like what Shoushan hibiscus stone to the chapter, small leaf red sandalwood unicorn ornaments, moire flat inkstone, Bogu pattern Baoping inkstone, etc., there is a detailed description of each work next to it, as well as its provenance, as well as the endorsement of Rong Bao Zhai.

Cao Shujie wondered, he came to Lei Jun's side and asked a very practical question in a low voice: "Mr. Lei, are there any fakes in these?" ”

When Lei Jun heard this, he looked at Cao Shujie and laughed, he said: "To be honest, I don't have a very special study on this, and I don't know. ”

"Ugh!" Cao Shujie looked at Lei Jun again, and saw the embarrassed expression on Lao Lei's face, and then regained his composure.

He understood that when Lao Lei introduced him to him, he thought that Lao Lei was 'good at this', but he knew that the two of them were half a catty and eight taels, about the same level.

Lei Jun seemed to hide his embarrassment, and hurriedly walked two steps forward, and walked directly towards the auction hall in front of him without looking at the lots along the way.

Cao Shujie himself didn't have any artistic cells, and he didn't pretend to be, seeing Lei Jun walking fast in front, he also hurried to follow.

When receiving the number plate, Lei Jun received a number of 358.

After he introduced Cao Shujie's identity to the organizer, just like Lei Jun said before, the organizer was very happy, and after Cao Shujie registered his identity, he also gave him a number plate 368.

"Oops, it's pretty lucky." Lei Jun said with a smile.

Cao Shujie looked at it and smiled: "Three-way hair, it's okay!" ”

"It's far-fetched, but you can't engage in superstition, be careful that someone is looking for you." Lei Jun teased and took the lead in entering the auction hall under the guidance of the staff.

The venue is not small, and it looks empty, but there are not many people here.

There is no appearance of hundreds of people sitting in the venue as shown in the TV series.

Cao Shujie glanced at it, in addition to the high platform in front of him, there were more than 100 flannel chairs at most in front of the high platform.

At this moment, there are only a dozen people sitting on the chairs, but there is a circle of staff standing around, and there are also waiters who are busy serving tea and water at the scene, serving these people.

There is a projection on the wall behind the high platform, and the red font 'Rong Bao Zhai' 2016 Autumn Auction is projected on the top.

Lei Jun is a celebrity in the capital, and after he came in, several people recognized him and stood up and shouted Mr. Lei.

As for the young man next to Lei Jun, no one recognized him.

They also wondered, who is this young man?

How could he come in with Lei Jun?

And it seems that Lei Jun and this young man are talking and laughing, and they have a good relationship, could it be that this is the rich second generation of which family?

Or is there some other identity?

Cao Shujie didn't know that someone had added various identities to him, and he didn't care, after the two found two chairs close to each other and sat down, their own waiters brought them tea and snacks.

I also asked them if they needed any other services.

For this, the two are very familiar with this, and they waved their hands to let them get busy.

While the two were chatting, people came in one after another, finding a chair to sit down at random.

"What time does it start?" Cao Shujie asked.

Lei Jun pointed to the projection in front of him, and Cao Shujie noticed that there was a line of small words in the lower right corner, saying that it officially started at 10 o'clock.

He looked at the time, and there was less than half an hour left.

Before I knew it, as a middle-aged woman in a red tight skirt walked onto the high platform, a round of warm applause rang out, and the auction began.

The middle-aged woman in the red tight skirt said with a smile: "Thank you for the warm applause, and welcome all buyers to enter the market." ”

"First of all, let me introduce myself, I am Ren Shizhen of Rong Bao Zhai, the abbot of today's auction, let's wait for a while, today's 2016 Rong Bao Zhai autumn auction will start immediately."

After the middle-aged woman named Ren Shizhen finished the introduction, she didn't have any nonsense, and waited less than 2 minutes to get to the point and start introducing the first lot. (End of chapter)
