Chapter 464 Giving You a Big Order
Just as Jin Wuxian was about to hang up, he discovered that it was Ma Jing calling.
"Mr. Jin, it's Chen Xiao's assistant calling."
Jin Fu was just thinking about whether he could ease the tension with Junxing Motors through Chen Xiao when he heard this, and gestured for him to go outside to answer the phone.
Ma Jing's phone call was concise: the meeting time was changed to 11:00-11:30, hurry up and come, or you won't be able to wait.
"We're in a meeting, can we postpone it a bit?" "Hello, hello."
{Who is this person? Give me a straight answer, or what? What's the meaning of hanging up on me? Forget it, I'd better hurry up and tell the old man to go over there. That jerk Chen Xiao has a weird temper. Don't think that just because the old man is in Jiangzhou, everyone will give him face, but Chen Xiao is no ordinary person. Uh, and there's also Feng Feifei, that President Feng who won't even see me. It seems like everyone who gets involved with Chen Xiao is abnormal.}
When Jin Fu saw him come in, he gestured for him to sit down and start the meeting.
"Chairman, the meeting is about to end, and we need to head to Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group now."
"Calm down. Look at how flustered you are. You are the general manager of public relations for a large corporation, not a junior PR person in a small company."
Jin Fu criticized his son, saying he was really not falling for it. He looked at himself and didn't even ask why the other party had called. He decided to wait until after the meeting to discuss everything. This was like remaining unmoved even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
"But—" Jin Wuxian glanced at the time, sweating profusely. His father was still putting on airs.
"I said we'd have a meeting first, and everything else could wait until after the meeting."
Jin Wuxian felt he had to offer his blood to Xuanyuan today. He stood up and said, "After you finish your meeting, they will be late. They have changed the time to 11:00."
Jin Fu raised an eyebrow and tactically drank some water.
"The time has been changed? How can they just change it like that? It's so disrespectful of me. I'm going to go at the original time. A salesperson is meeting me and they're setting a time for me? It's outrageous and shows no respect for others."
But—Chen Xiao has an eccentric personality. If we really can't meet him, and the intelligent solution deal falls through, it will affect FlashCloud Auto's sales.
The only car with positive reviews online right now is the FlashCloud E5. This is because the car uses Junxing Intelligent Driving Solution, and the customer feedback has been very good. As a result, the sales of this car have gradually increased by more than 50% from a few hundred units per week, and it is still growing. This is what made him realize the value of Junxing Intelligent.
He now really regrets it. He was too conservative when he talked to Chen Xiao about cooperation. The complete solution of Junxing Intelligent Driving + Junxing Intelligent Cockpit was sold to him for less than 3 yuan, which was lower than the price of any other company he had talked to. And now it seems that the effect is the best among the companies he has cooperated with.
He tapped the table, closed his laptop, and stood up: "The meeting is adjourned for today."
The senior executives exchanged bewildered glances, thinking their young boss was about to be scolded. What happened to their composure in the face of adversity? What happened to their unwavering stance that meetings were the most important event in the world? The chairman had given us a vivid demonstration of "saying one thing and doing another."
Kim Moo-heon followed Kim Bok to his office.
"What's Chen Xiao up to? We were already meeting today, and he just gave us a last-minute notice. Why are you young people so impulsive?"
Jin Wuxian remained silent. {If you have the guts, talk to Chen Xiao. What's the point of talking to me? Are you just taking your anger out on me?}
"What are you waiting for? Quickly tell the driver to prepare the car. We're going down now. It's still a bit of a distance to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group. Don't be late. I'm a very punctual person. I won't go ahead of time or be late."
Knowing that Chen Xiao was dealing with him, Jin Wuxian went out to arrange transportation, feeling displeased. This Chen Xiao really didn't treat the village chief like a proper official. Even if a salesman had some ability, he couldn't be so arrogant. He could tolerate Chen Xiao's arrogance before, but now he acted like he owned the place, showing no respect for elders and showing a complete lack of respect for his superiors.
Unbeknownst to him, ever since Jin Fu rejected Xu Gang's offer to jointly build overseas expansion channels, Chen Xiao had been looking down on Jin Fu. Later, after the collaboration, Jin Fu's cooperation made Chen Xiao feel uneasy. They had given him such a good solution from Junxing Intelligent R&D Center at such a low price, hoping that they would promote it as a selling point. However, Shanyun Auto refused to mention it and didn't even train the sales staff at the sales center on this aspect.
Jin Fu's vision was limited, and Chen Xiao looked down on him. Since he looked down on him, there was no respect for him whatsoever. As for being the chairman of a listed company with a market value of tens of billions, a company that was almost insolvent, he was nothing in Jin Fu's eyes.
The company's annual profit is a loss of tens of billions, while Chen Xiao, lying in his office, can earn hundreds of millions from orders he receives in a single morning. Frankly speaking, even Chen Xiao's dog is better at making money than Jin Fu. What's the point of respecting a businessman who can't make money? Doing business without profit is a sin; how can you face your shareholders?
The Flash Cloud S9 is a large SUV launched by Flash Cloud Auto, priced between 38 and 45 yuan. The product is decent, with high-quality materials, but due to the brand's weak appeal and inability to provide sufficient emotional value, coupled with consumers' high demands for intelligent features, this car, jokingly referred to as "idiotic," naturally has mediocre sales, selling at best a few hundred units a month.
As the chairman of FlashCloud Motors, he naturally travels using FlashCloud products, so the FlashCloud S9, currently positioned as the most high-end model, has become his vehicle.
This seems to be the same for all car companies; if the bosses don't ride in their own cars, how can they convince consumers? Xu Gang of Junxing Auto is the same. Although the group provides him with a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Guanghui 009, he only uses them as limousines when receiving VIPs. He usually travels in a Junxing M7, making him the only person among the major subsidiaries of Junxing Group who rides in a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
It was for this reason that he put all his effort into building his own large SUV and luxury MPV, and he repeatedly suggested to Xu Wu that the Guanghui 009 should be replaced with his own high-end MPV.
Jin Fu checked the time and said to the driver in the driver's seat, "Go a little faster."
At an intersection one traffic light away from Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group, a white Bentley Continental slowly pulled up beside them. Jin Wuxian couldn't help but glance at it, but because of the privacy glass, he couldn't see who was in the driver's seat.
The white Bentley Continental GT with its champagne gold wheels rolled over the speed bumps at Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Park, its body drawing a cool arc in the sunlight.
Ma Jing had already arranged for the license plate to be entered. The gate slowly lifted, and in the Flash Cloud S9 following behind, Jin Fu said half-jokingly, "This company has only been around for half a year, yet it has such a luxury car. I wonder if it belongs to their boss, Feng Feifei."
He learned that Feng Feifei, the chairwoman of Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group, was a young woman, and supposedly a great beauty, who should be a perfect match for this Bentley Continental.
The security guard came out and asked the driver to register the visitor information. Jin Fu was furious again. "Such important guests, and not only did they not greet us, but they also didn't register our license plates in advance. They treated us like ordinary visitors."
Jin Wuxian glanced at his old man with a sullen expression, thinking to himself, "I haven't even told you about the assistant's tone yet. If I do, you'll be furious."
After entering the gate, Jin Fu asked the driver to park the car. He and Jin Wuxian got out of the car and went directly into the office building of Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group. At the front desk, they had to register again.
Jin Wuxian went to handle the matter with his head down, while Jin Fu was so angry that his mouth was crooked. Chen Xiao, or rather Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group, had gone too far. The chairman of Shanyun Automobile was actually being treated so coldly.
After registering, Jin Wuxian, who had been there before, led Jin Fu to the elevator, and around the corner they saw two beautiful women chatting and laughing as they entered the elevator.
Jin Wuxian's pupils suddenly contracted—he had seen many beautiful women in his daily life, but those of this caliber were rare indeed, and today he had encountered two at once. Moreover, one was charming and alluring, the other aloof and elegant, each with a distinct temperament.
"Hmm? Isn't that the woman in the Chanel suit the one I saw with Chen Xiao at the Junxiao Lakeside Hotel? I think her name is Bai Lu. Could she be here to see Chen Xiao? Yes, that's her. Chen Xiao ordered a Bentley Continental for her at the auto show last time, wasn't that the one we just saw?"
Could that bastard Chen Xiao be trying to pick up girls while simultaneously meeting my old man for business? Isn't that going too far? But then I think about it, last time we went to Shanyun Auto, he brought his girlfriend along—yes, his official girlfriend.
He didn't tell Jin Fu, afraid that Jin Fu would get angry and leave. In fact, he wronged Chen Xiao. He texted Bai Lu that he would come after 11:30 and have lunch together in the small canteen. Who knew that Bai Lu was free in the morning and was eager to see her lover, and Gu Meng had gone to the Jiangzhou Design Institute early in the morning, so he brought her directly.
The two of them didn't have anything important to discuss today. Guo Fu had arranged for Gu Meng to consult with Chen Xiao first regarding any matters involving cooperation with Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group in Jiangzhou, so she wanted to visit him alone first.
Besides meeting him, Bai Lu also needed to finalize the cooperation between Jiangzhou Design Institute and Guo's Group on the smart city project. This didn't need to be mentioned by Bai Lu; Chen Xiao had already agreed to it in her office when he was working on the rear-wheel drive, which is why she spoke so confidently to her father that night.
At 10:59, Bai Lu rang the doorbell of Chen Xiao's office. Ma Jing opened the door and immediately invited them in. Gu Meng wasn't here for the first time; this office was even more luxurious than Feng Feifei's. She had thought it was outrageous back then. Bai Lu's boyfriend seemed like a hidden gem, with many things to discover. She glanced at Ma Jing, sensing that this assistant's relationship with Chen Xiao was unusual. She secretly glanced at Bai Lu's expression and found her perfectly normal.
{So trusting of her boyfriend? If it were me... hmph, I'd control him completely, and even make sure his assistant is a man.}
Chen Xiao is playing League of Legends, but lately he's been feeling uncomfortable because he's lost a good partner. His gaming friend, "Little Fatty," hasn't been online for a long time. He just sent her a WeChat message asking her to come online, but she said she was working and didn't have time to play games.
He was currently trying to persuade her to quit her job, arguing that there was no future in working and that playing games could lead to financial freedom. To satisfy his own gaming cravings, he even considered having her quit her job and starting a company for her as a gaming companion. The job was easy; she would be free as long as he wasn't online. And he himself didn't spend much time playing games these days.
She stood up, checked the time, and asked, "Ma Jing, haven't Jin Fu and the others arrived yet?"
Just then, the doorbell rang again. Ma Jing smiled and said, "They must have arrived. Sister Bai Lu and President Gu are still here."
Chen Xiao waved his hand, "Bai Lu, why don't you take Gu Meng to my office for a while? People from Shanyun Auto are here. I'll chat with them for a bit and then send them away."
There's no need to stand on ceremony with Bai Lu, and as for Gu Meng, she's his woman's special assistant, so there's no need to be polite either.
Bai Lu hummed in agreement. Chen Xiao was her everything, and she would listen to whatever he said. Gu Meng also knew about their relationship, so she came here with Bai Lu very casually.
Jin Fu looked around the office area of Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group headquarters. He thought to himself, "They're both into high-tech stuff, but this place is too extravagant." He shook his head and sighed, saying to Jin Wuxian, "All the money has been spent on this place. It's a complete waste of resources."
Jin Wuxian had always been dissatisfied with the office environment of Shanyun Auto. How much does an office environment cost? Providing employees with a good office space makes a difference in everyone's work mood. Jin Fu himself only has a simple 20-square-meter office. Jin Wuxian felt that this was a bit too much of a show and unnecessary.
Upon hearing Jin Fu say that Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group was wasting money, he blurted out without thinking, "They may spend money recklessly, but they can still make money. In just six months, they've grown from a small company with less than 2000 million in assets to a company with an annual output value of tens of billions, and their cash flow is terrifyingly abundant. I've heard that many investment institutions, including international investment banks like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, have come to negotiate, but all have left empty-handed."
Jin Fu stopped and looked at him coldly: "Are you mocking your father for being frugal but unable to make money? You've been getting a bit bolder lately. Have you been hanging out with people like Chen Xiao too much and going astray?"
As soon as his father gave him a hard time, Jin Wuxian immediately backed down. Seeing that Jin Fu was about to punish him, he quickly checked the time and said, "I'm two seconds late."
Jin Fu then let him off the hook. "So what if he's two seconds late? Does he dare to blame me?"
He snorted coldly, but knew that this was not the time to deal with Jin Wuxian, so he let him go for now and would cause trouble for him when they got back.
Ma Jing opened the office door and invited them in. Jin Fu's first glance, just like Jin Wuxian's back then, was a look around at the office layout. It was too extravagant; it was a waste for a salesperson to have such an office. In Jin Fu's mind, salespeople should stay in a corner of the open-plan office area.
Look at the mess Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group has made! They have a gym, a game room, and a lounge. Is this an office or a vacation? Oh, and I haven't even mentioned the beautiful female assistant. Jin Fu, the chairman of Shanyun Auto, only has a male assistant. Chen Xiao, a young man, with a young and beautiful female assistant—isn't that encouraging him to make mistakes?
When Chen Xiao saw them come in, he managed a forced smile, but it was clearly perfunctory.
"President Jin, please have a seat. Jin Wuxian, it's one thing for you to be punctual, but you've dragged President Jin down with you. I usually don't entertain people who are punctual, but I'll let it slide today for President Jin's sake."
Jin Fu's face darkened. Was being two seconds late considered unpunctual? He wasn't oblivious to Chen Xiao's veiled insults. He'd thought this young man was quite humble the last time they met; now he seemed so sharp and aggressive. It was good for a young person to have spirit, but too much of a strength can lead to weakness.
Jin Wuxian smiled awkwardly, "I'll definitely be more careful next time." This was meant to help his father take over, confirming that Chen Xiao was talking about him, not alluding to Jin Fu.
Ma Jing made tea for the two of them, and then sat down next to Chen Xiao to take meeting notes.
Jin Fu raised an eyebrow. This was a much bigger affair than his own. It was just a business meeting; he hadn't even had his assistant take notes. It wasn't a large conference. However, having already experienced Chen Xiao's eccentric temperament, he had been refused invitations twice at the auto show.
The auto show? Jin Fu suddenly remembered seeing him with Xu Gang at the last auto show and took the initiative to ask, "Xiao Chen, are you very familiar with Xu Gang from Junxing Motors?"
In his eyes, Chen Xiao was, after all, a salesman. Whether from the perspective of his job title or the fact that he was his son's friend, there was nothing wrong with calling him Xiao Chen.
Chen Xiao didn't mind, but Ma Jing gave him a somewhat displeased look.
{That old geezer is wicked. Who does Brother Chen Xiao think he is? You call him Little Chen? Do you deserve it? Humph, if I'd known, I would have put some laxative in your drink so you wouldn't keep your mouth shut.}
"I'd say we're fairly familiar." I've only met Xu Gang a few times, so I wouldn't call myself familiar with him. But since he's my employee and the head of a business entity, I hear his name all the time.
Jin Fu picked up his cup, took a sip, and looked at Chen Xiao meaningfully: "I didn't expect you to have such a wide circle of acquaintances, knowing so many important people."
Xu Gang, what kind of big shot is he? He smiled faintly. Jin Fu's claim of knowing so many people probably included himself as well.
Jin Fu glanced at his watch, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. "What's the point of checking the time while we're chatting? Is this some kind of impatience?" His gaze inadvertently swept over Chen Xiao's wrist, when suddenly he was struck by a blinding reflection—the Patek Philippe Nautilus blue dial peeking out from under Chen Xiao's cuff exploded with starlight under the light. Each diamond on the bezel, pavé-set, resembled a miniature searchlight, reflecting two trembling crosses into Jin Fu's pupils.
Jin Fu was a worldly man; he had seen this watch before at the Dubai Mall, and he remembered it was worth tens of millions of Chinese yuan. It was truly ironic that such an expensive watch was on a salesman's wrist.
Because among the important people he mentioned earlier, probably none of them wore such an expensive watch, but he did.
At that moment, he seemed to forget the disrespect shown by the time display. He took another sip of water and cleared his throat: "Xiao Chen, I have some things to do at the company. There are two things that need to be discussed today, so I'll just get straight to the point."
Ma Jing closed the notebook she was about to take notes in, looking at the old man with displeasure. "That's so rude of you," she thought. "Why are you putting on airs? You even brought it up directly." Ma Jing felt Chen Xiao should tell him to shut up and not mention it again.
Chen Xiao gave a cold laugh and remained silent.
"The first thing is about strengthening the cooperation between FlashCloud Auto and Junxing Intelligent R&D Center. Last time you came to FlashCloud Auto to see me, it was because you are young but very ambitious that I gave you an order. I still like to mentor young people."
At this point, I glanced at Chen Xiao and noticed his indifferent expression.
{This young man really doesn't know how to be grateful. No matter what, I gave you a big order, and you even paid in advance. Shouldn't you at least thank me?}
He continued, "The reason I'm here this time is to bestow upon you another fortune. My company, Flashcloud Motors, currently produces nearly 150,000 vehicles annually, but we expect to reach 300,000 next year. If all of these are equipped with Junxing Intelligent Driving and Junxing Intelligent Cockpit, it will be an order worth nearly 10 billion yuan. I originally intended to discuss this order with your chairman, but then I thought that since you and Jin Wuxian are friends, and I have a good impression of you, if you can help me negotiate the price, I might as well use this order to help you out."
Securing an order worth tens of billions in a single transaction is something you, as a salesperson, are probably unique in the global market.
Ma Jing rolled her eyes. Did this old geezer even know who he was talking to? He needed your order to be the only one in the world? Others already were. He might not even care about your multi-billion dollar order.
She wasn't wrong; Chen Xiao wasn't actually that interested in Jin Fu's business. Mainly, he distrusted him. His claim of a 30-unit annual production was a bit of an exaggeration, but he could guarantee 15 units.
This order sounds like a lot, but it's impossible for Jin Fu to pay for it all at once. It will definitely be paid in installments. But how much would it be if it were broken down into monthly installments? Would he even be interested?
Judging from Jin Fu's tone, he even wanted to haggle over the business terms and payment method. He sneered, "Mr. Jin, Junxing Auto's sales have already picked up, and several other companies have come to negotiate, hoping to use Junxing Intelligent R&D Center's complete intelligent solutions. So our production capacity is limited, and we may not be able to meet your needs."
Jin Fu's teacup suddenly tilted, and the Biluochun tea almost spilled. He stared at Chen Xiao in disbelief. What kind of salesperson could remain so calm and composed after hearing about an order worth hundreds of billions, and even say something like, "Actually, I don't really want to do business with you"?
He immediately became irritated. The FlashCloud E5 was selling well, but the first batch of orders signed with Junxing Intelligent R&D Center had already been used up. (End of Chapter)
