Inside an authorized customer center of Junxing Motors in Jiangzhou Auto City.

The huge showroom only had one car – the Junxing M7, but there were six of them in different colors, so it didn't feel empty.

This store is the largest authorized user center in Jiangzhou. It was built according to the latest standards of Junxing Auto and has only been open for less than three days.

Right now, there are several couples looking at cars in the user center. The Junxing M7 has been selling well since its launch, but recently, due to the influence of online public opinion, orders have decreased slightly.

But this car is indeed of excellent quality. 30,000 cars have been delivered since its launch, and there are still nearly 100,000 orders in hand, with a waiting list of up to 4 months. Although the number of orders has decreased, there are still more than 10,000 cars delivered every month. At this rate, if 20,000 cars are delivered every month, it will be ready for a minor facelift next year.

The delivered vehicles have received very high customer satisfaction, with an NPS score of over 90, which is considered an industry miracle. Recently, many salespeople who used to work for BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) have come to Junxing Auto's authorized service centers. The treatment here is even better than that of BBA, and the cars are selling better than those from BBA now. Most importantly, they see the future. They missed out on the HarmonyOS Smart Choice cars in the last wave, but this time Junxing Auto is determined to get them on board.

After serving one group of customers, salesperson Ji Yan saw two more customers coming in and quickly went to greet them, "Are you two here to look at cars?"

The two men, one looking almost 30 and the other looking like a recent college graduate, were likely being bought by the older man, but Ji Yan treated both of them with politeness and respect, as required by company training.

"You run such a big store, won't you go bankrupt if you only have one model of car?"

"Does this person even know how to talk?" Ji Yan raised an eyebrow, but still maintained her polite restraint. "It's alright. Although we only have one model, it sells well. You can see from the delivery area outside that they're constantly delivering cars."

"Things are alright now, but once the Ruishi brand next door finishes its renovations, it will severely impact your business. Then you'll realize how tough things are."

Then he turned to the young man beside him and said, "Jiang Tao, you'll see, the boss here will be devastated."

Jiang Tao nodded. The other person was naturally Xu Guang. The store next door that was being renovated was the Ruishi 4S store that Xu Guang was going to build. It was originally a Mazda 4S store. He took over and made some changes, but the interior layout was not changed. If Xu Jia knew, she would definitely take back her promise to invest 500 million yuan. It was just a change of storefront.

Xu Guang didn't look at the cars, but wandered around the lobby, looking at the decoration of Junxing's authorized service center—"They really are willing to spend money; this isn't how business is done."

Ji Yan realized that these two people didn't seem to be buying a car, but since she had already received them, she couldn't just leave them alone. At this moment, she heard Xu Guang's words and knew that he was saying that the store's decoration was too luxurious and the investment cost was too high.

She looked down on the man a bit. He didn't know anything and was just spouting nonsense. Did he even know how to run a luxury brand? It's all about spending money. Every detail has to be perfected to give customers an extraordinary experience and make them feel emotionally valued.

Like the stingy Mazda dealership next door, where they just change the storefront and start selling the R-Line brand, that's something Junxing Auto would absolutely not allow.

Hearing him pointing at the Junxing Auto Authorized Service Center, Ji Yan said from the side, "You two may not be very familiar with the requirements of Junxing Auto Group for its authorized user centers. We are a luxury brand, so the requirements for both hardware and software are very high."

She explained to the two that the minimum required area for building a Junxing Auto User Center is ≥5000 square meters.

Functional area requirements: Exhibition parking spaces: ≥12; Delivery parking spaces: ≥12; Power capacity: expandable to ≥800KW.

All stores must include the following facilities: intelligent driving experience area, VIP delivery area, audio-visual room, coffee bar, and fine dining restaurant.

The requirements for partners are also very high, requiring them to be dealers of BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) or top 100 regional car dealers. They then went on to mention that all the hardware and interior decoration would use building materials from major brands.

After saying that, he said, "Gentlemen, it is lunchtime now. You can try the food at our Junxing Auto Authorized User Center. I can say that even the dining environment of Porsche and Ferrari is not as good as ours."

"Free?" Xu Guang asked instinctively.

"of course."

"Let's go try it out. Actually, I don't usually like to eat these things; they're too cheap," Xu Guang said, rubbing his stomach. He was indeed a little hungry, mainly because it was free here.

Ji Yan glanced at him. "Lowering your standards?" she thought. "The average cost per meal here is 50 yuan, and the menu changes daily, including two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, soup, and fruit. You'd probably only get this much of a treat outside for 200 yuan."

The restaurant is also upscale and elegantly decorated, with private rooms available. After your meal, you can relax in the lounge area with massage chairs. Once you've rested, you can enjoy hand-ground coffee, cakes, and snacks.

Many car owners worth millions come here to dine and take photos, so how is it considered low-class?

Jiang Tao couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the meal: "This is too lavish!" The food was beautifully presented, the ingredients were fresh, and the colors were enticing. Was this food provided by the car dealership, or was it free?

Xu Guang took a bite, and it tasted really good, but he certainly wouldn't praise it. Instead, he said from another angle, "It's no wonder that doing business like this can't last long."

Ji Yan also went to get her food, but the staff ate in a different area than the customers. Xu Guang asked curiously, "How come you can eat too?"

"We eat this for our staff meals too."

"Damn, what a waste! What was this boss thinking? Is he running a business or a charity?"

Ji Yan carried the food to the staff area to eat. Xu Guang couldn't understand it. To be honest, they couldn't understand it at first either. They heard that the monthly budget for this area was 70 yuan.

“Jiang Tao, your cousin’s judgment is really bad. Look at this Junxing Auto Authorized Service Center. It would probably cost at least 2000 million to open such a store, but it only sells one type of car. And it has to spend hundreds of thousands on food every month. It’s simply insane.”

"In addition, its strongest competitor, Ruishi, is about to open, and the cars here are not going to sell well."

The restaurant was packed, so a young man was eating at the table next to them. Hearing what they were saying, he couldn't help but turn around and sneer, "Brother, are you serious? The Ruishi brand is Junxing Motors' biggest competitor? Are you kidding me?"

Currently, the Ryza brand considers the HarmonyOS M7 and Junxing M7 as its biggest competitors. Unfortunately, the Junxing M7's competitors have always been HarmonyOS and the traditional BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) brands; they don't even consider Ryza. Ask any of us Junxing M7 owners; many of us bought one because we already had a BBA in our family. Who would even look at Ryza? These two brands aren't even in the same league!

Xu Guang retorted, unconvinced, "Junxing Motors only has this one model. They were lucky this time; orders exploded during the launch event. Once this wave of core fans has subsided, you'll see. Also, Ruishi is holding a new product launch tonight. You can wait and see if Junxing Motors can still sell its cars after the Ruishi N7L hits the market."

The man chuckled twice, "Brother, you're eating Junxing Motors' food but trying to smash Junxing Motors' pot. You better not buy a Junxing Motors car, the style doesn't match."

After saying that, he ignored Xu Guang. He naturally realized that the man was cursing him and was furious. He said to Jiang Tao, "Once the press conference starts tonight, the number of orders will definitely dazzle them. I estimate that Junxing Auto's sales will be cut in half at least starting next week."

Jiang Tao hummed in agreement, "At most a month, the outcome will be clear." But after visiting Junxing Auto today, he felt that Junxing Auto was completely different from what people online had described. He felt that this company was very generous and had a grand style. On the contrary, Ruishi's 4S store was small and stingy, not at all like the style of a large group.

Sigh, I don't know if my cousin is right or Xu Guang is right. My cousin used to sell clothes, so her experience is probably limited, while Xu Guang's family has been in business for generations, so his business acumen should be stronger than my cousin's.

The restaurant was crowded, filled with discussions and various conversations, when suddenly it fell silent. This unusual quiet made the two of them look up to find the reason.

Upon seeing the entrance, their gazes froze simultaneously as a handsome man and a beautiful woman entered together.

The man was gentle and refined, with a scholarly air, yet a hint of unruliness lurked in his slightly upturned lips. Dressed casually in a polo shirt and jeans, he had one hand in his pocket and the other resting lightly on the woman's waist. His pace was unhurried, as if he were already used to being the center of attention, yet he maintained just the right amount of humility.

The woman wore a long, black fishtail dress that cascaded down her shoulders and neck, the silk fabric flowing with her steps like surging waves in the dark night. The V-neck revealed her delicate collarbone, and a diamond necklace dangled around her neck, its brilliance unable to match the captivating light in her eyes.

Her long hair was styled in a low bun, with a slightly curled strand hanging down beside her ear. Her red lips were like blades, and her slightly raised chin exuded a domineering air. The sound of her high heels on the marble floor seemed to silently declare her dominance.

When the boy turned to whisper to her, her cold and beautiful eyes softened suddenly, and her fingertips casually brushed against his arm—this moment of tenderness was more breathtaking than when she was sharp and assertive.

The restaurant's noise fell eerily silent at that moment. Some people held their forks in mid-air, while others held their drinks but forgot to sip. The couple was like a dynamic classical oil painting, their elegance and charm, restraint and flamboyance colliding in the air to create a breathtaking tension.

Jiang Tao turned to look at Xu Guang and found him staring blankly at the woman as if he had been frozen in place. To be honest, after seeing Sister Xiangjun, other beauties seemed insignificant. But this woman was not only beautiful, but her noble aura made one involuntarily want to submit. He saw the handsome man holding the woman's hand, pointing at the food in the kitchen and talking about something. The woman nodded slightly.

Just then, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked in. At that moment, Jiang Tao suddenly heard an employee in the store exclaim, "My God, the chairman is here today too!"

"Chairman, is this Chairman Li?" Another employee clearly hadn't seen what the chairman looked like before.

The employee who spoke earlier said, "Yes, Mr. Li has built more than 20 Junxing Auto shopping mall experience stores, and now he is going to invest in 20 Junxing Auto super user center stores. Our store is the first one."

"Hey—it looks like the chairman is here to find someone. Look, he's going over to that handsome couple."

Jiang Tao and Xu Guang also noticed it. At this moment, the couple turned around, and Chairman Li ran up to them, bowed, and called out, "President Chen, President Xu. I was waiting for you downstairs. I didn't expect you to have already come up."

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Xu and I wanted to come in quietly to take a look. If you bring us in, we won't see the real situation. Hmm, not bad, I'm quite satisfied."

Mr. Li seemed relieved. "I've prepared a light meal in the private room. Would you two like to move over and have your meal now?"

At this moment, Mr. Xu said, "Let's not go to the private room, let's just stay here. Give us one of your staff meals, Mr. Chen and I will eat here."

Chairman Li wanted to invite them to the private room again, but seeing President Xu's resolute expression, he immediately stopped and asked the two of them to sit down at a table that had just been cleaned.

“Awu, I think his expenses are quite high. The group should give them some subsidies later. After all, Junxing Motors only has one model right now, and their sales volume is limited. Too much expenditure will affect their rapid development.”

"Well, since President Chen has spoken, of course I will obey." She rarely made a joke. Usually, she was aloof and no one could make her joke. Only in front of Chen Xiao could she find her true self again.

These two people were Chen Xiao and Xu Wu. Junxiao Group had been established for almost a year, and Chen Xiao hadn't had time to go shopping with her during that year. Today, Xu Wu finished her work at the company, so Chen Xiao invited her out for a stroll.

Li Guoqiang was an old friend of theirs. He was recently planning to invest in opening 20 authorized customer service centers for Junxing Motors, and Chen Xiao had even lent him 5 million yuan. Since Chen Xiao had recently focused his attention on the automotive sector, he invited Xu Wu to visit Li Guoqiang's new customer service center in Xincheng. They didn't notify Li Guoqiang beforehand, only sending him a message when they were almost there.

The two looked around on the first floor before coming up, and Li Guoqiang arrived just as they were entering the restaurant.

Knowing that these two big bosses didn't need anyone to accompany them, at this moment they were just like an ordinary young couple. Li Guoqiang watched from afar, thinking that the two big bosses probably hadn't been this relaxed in a long time. They really should go out for a walk; this is what young people should do.

"Ah Wu, look, so many people are peeking at you—"

Xu Wu handed Chen Xiao a chicken leg from the lunchbox: "I don't eat chicken legs, this is for you." A meal between the two of them at Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, while today's meal is only 50 yuan, but they eat it with great relish.

"Looking at me? I didn't see you." Xu Wu smiled faintly. She was out every day, and many people had spied on her, but none of them dared to approach her. Her aura was simply too strong.

Chen Xiao picked up a chicken leg. He hadn't eaten these in a long time. Today, out of respect for Xu Wu, he would bestow "glory" upon it. This chicken was definitely one that could bring honor to his ancestors.

Xu Guang glanced at it a few times, then looked away. He then saw Li Guoqiang directing the staff and making some adjustments to the service details. He turned to Jiang Tao and said, "See? The new energy vehicle trend is here. That guy can make so much money with Junxing Motors. Our brand is better than his. We have Huadi Group behind us and we have cooperation with KOCs. We will surpass him soon."

Jiang Tao looked at Li Guoqiang, dreaming that this was his future self, managing dozens of stores, with employees respectfully calling him "General Manager Jiang" wherever he went. How wonderful that life would be!

"Jiang Tao, I can't give you too much time. You can decide for yourself how much to invest. Of course, even if you don't invest a single penny, we can still be friends. If my business grows in the future, you're welcome to come and work as a salesperson in the store."

Jiang Tao thought to himself, "Investing money to become a boss, like that Mr. Li, or not investing money and only being able to work as a salesperson, is a dilemma. It's a pity my cousin won't lend me any money."

“Brother Guang, give me three days to raise the money and see how much I can raise. I have to catch this wave of new energy vehicles.”

After the two finished their meal and went downstairs, before leaving, Xu Guang glanced longingly at Xu Wu one last time and asked, "Jiang Tao, did you believe me when I told you that the Han River is known for its beautiful women?"

He nodded heavily. When he first met Sister Xiangjun, he knew that this place was known for its beautiful women, and exceptionally beautiful ones at that.

Xu Wu doesn't eat as fast as Chen Xiao. After he stops eating, Xu Wu stops eating as well. Chen Xiao naturally doesn't try to stop her. They're just here to experience life, and she can eat whatever she wants.

"Let's go downstairs and take a walk."

Seeing them get up, Li Guoqiang quickly stepped forward to greet them and lead the way.

"We were planning to call Lao Cha over today, but he was invited to attend a press conference at Junxing Intelligent R&D Center."

Li Guoqiang knew what Chen Xiao was talking about. It was said that Mr. Chen was preparing to invest in computing chips, an investment considered a national strategy. Many people dared not undertake such a project because it was extremely expensive; one wrong move could lead to complete failure. However, Mr. Chen's funds were likely sufficient to support this research and development. This was why so many industry leaders were paying close attention and expressing optimism at the afternoon's press conference.

He glanced at Xu Wu, but didn't ask the question he wanted to ask. Chen Xiao, however, sensed it and smiled, "You want to know why President Xu didn't attend such an important event? That's because President Xu had something even more important to do."

More important things? What could be more important than this? Then Chen Xiao said, "Of course, it's going shopping with me."

He then realized that Chen Xiao was joking, but he secretly glanced at President Xu's expression and realized that there was probably some truth to the joke. In Xu Wu's eyes, there was probably nothing more important than spending time with Chen Xiao.

"Mr. Li, your restaurant is doing quite well, basically meeting Junxing Motors' requirements. Keep it up. I know you've invested a lot and the returns aren't high yet. Mr. Xu has already approved a subsidy of 50 yuan per month for this part. However, the company will strictly supervise you. If there are any problems with the service quality, there will be severe penalties, or even the revocation of authorization."

This is great news for distributors. Take Li Guoqiang as an example: if he opens 20 authorized service centers in the future, he will receive a subsidy of 1.2 million yuan per year. This portion will eventually become net profit.

Flattered, Mr. Chen, we can actually afford this money; the cars are selling very well right now.

He waved his hand. "Then let's make things a little easier for you in the early stages. We'll cancel this benefit by the middle of next year. By then, Junxing Auto should have five models on sale, and you won't need this anymore."

As the group walked along, they inadvertently arrived next door. Looking at a small 4S store whose facade was being renovated, and seeing Mazda advertisements posted inside, Chen Xiao couldn't help but wonder, "Mazda is renovating? They're just making do with what they have now."

Li Guoqiang explained, "It's not a Mazda anymore, it's been changed to Ruishi. But this boss saved money by taking over someone else's venue, changing the storefront, and keeping the interior the same. He just towed the cars over and started selling them."

"Sharpness?" Chen Xiao smiled meaningfully. This brand, backed by Huadi Auto Group, certainly has a solid foundation, but as a luxury brand, it probably hasn't figured out how to make it truly luxurious.

How can a luxury brand operate without spending money? All that constant advertising about three motors and U-turns is pointless. What good does a three-motor system actually provide? Electric cars accelerate so quickly these days; two motors are already quite powerful.

Installing three motors on a regular family car just increases the vehicle's weight. As for the compass turn feature, that's even more ridiculous. Who buys a car to show off their compass turn every day? The tires will suffer too much. Using these features as a label for a luxury brand, I really don't know what they're thinking.

The fact that 4S stores allow dealers to operate like this shows a lack of management. And yet they still call it a tiger descending the mountain?

Xiao Yuting didn't tell him that she was being attacked by online trolls, but she had asked Zhang Ziqian to pay attention to the matter beforehand. So Chen Xiao was fully aware of what Xiao Yuting was going through. The reason why Junxing Intelligent R&D Center held a press conference today was to attack the Ruishi brand and steal its popularity.

"Huh—", Chen Xiao was attracted by Xu Wu's curious voice and looked in the direction. It turned out that there was a recruitment poster posted on the glass curtain wall of the shop next door. Chen Xiao and Li Guoqiang were standing and talking, while Xu Wu went forward to take a look, probably out of curiosity about the content of the recruitment notice.

Chen Xiao had no interest whatsoever. What kind of high-end treatment could the Ruishi brand offer? They weren't even willing to invest in the renovation of their 4S store. Besides, this wasn't a directly operated store of the Ruishi brand, but a dealership.

Junxing Auto has a significant involvement in the development of its dealerships, one aspect of which is the salary standard for sales staff recruited by dealerships. The salary cannot be lower than the minimum standard of 8000 yuan per month set by Junxing Auto. This level of compensation was unprecedented in the previous automotive sales market. In earlier years, 4S stores like Volkswagen paid their sales staff slightly above the local minimum wage, relying mainly on sales commissions.

Xu Wu was interested; she probably hadn't seen this in a long time and wanted to check it out for the novelty. (End of Chapter)
