Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

The conference room on the 23rd floor of the headquarters of Dami Technology.

Only a few days have passed since the last meeting, but the atmosphere is completely different.

The last time the executives walked through this door, their faces were filled with anxiety, exhaustion, and a hint of despair.

With chips stuck, supply chains broken, and stock prices soaring, everyone is arguing about the company's survival.

Today they walked through the same door, but the expressions on their faces were even more complicated.

Some people still had furrowed brows, some were filled with curiosity, and some whispered among themselves about the mysterious third largest shareholder.

Vice President Zhou pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, sat down to Tian Jun's right, and asked in a low voice, "President Tian, ​​what exactly is the content of today's meeting?"

Tian Jun simply nodded at him without saying anything.

The CTO sat opposite him, placed his thermos on the table, crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and looked as if to say, "I'd like to see what we can come up with today."

Tian Jun sat in the main seat, his hands crossed on the table, his gaze slowly sweeping over every face in the conference room.

A subtle anticipation filled the conference room. Everyone was curious about what Tian Jun was going to announce today, but no one knew what it was.

Tian Jun coughed lightly.

The whispers in the conference room were abruptly cut off, and all eyes turned to them.

"Everyone."

Tian Jun's voice wasn't loud, but every word rang clearly and distinctly in the ears of everyone present.

"Dami Group has been established for so many years, and everyone here is a veteran who has accompanied Dami all the way, through thick and thin."

To be honest, we've experienced even bigger crises before.

The supply chain was disrupted, the cash flow almost collapsed, and a thick stack of lawyer's letters from competitors threatening to take over our business were piled up on our desks.

During the most dangerous time, even next month's salary was paid out of my personal account first.

These are things that all of you old friends here have personally experienced, so I don't need to say more.

But we've overcome all those obstacles.

I gritted my teeth, stomped my feet, and sometimes crawled on my knees, but I made it through eventually.

But this time, with the chip shortage and the stock price so low, the difficulties are clearly not as severe as those previous life-or-death situations. Why are you being so cautious now?

No one speaks.

Vice President Zhou lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously drawing circles on the table.

The technical vice president took the thermos away from his mouth and slowly placed it back on the table without making a sound.

Several long-time shareholders stopped flipping through the documents; one of them took off his glasses and gently placed them on the table.

"Because over the years, rice has met everyone's expectations."

Tian Jun spoke for them, his tone calm, without blame or disappointment, simply stating a fact he had observed for a long time.

"We started from a rented house with a monthly rent of 800 yuan and have grown to the size we are today."

A market capitalization of hundreds of billions, tens of thousands of employees, and hundreds of products.

You are satisfied.

Once satisfied, they lose their drive to strive forward and become timid and hesitant.

We had nothing before, so we dared to try anything. If we failed, we could just start over.

Now that we have everything, we're afraid of losing everything. We have to think carefully about every decision, and after all that calculation, we end up with just four words: "Maintain the status quo."

But the market won't stay the same for us.

Our competitors are taking over our market share, new technologies are replacing our product lines, and consumers are waiting for us to come up with something that will truly impress them.

If we don't proactively seek change, maintaining the status quo is tantamount to waiting for death.

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

Then the CTO was the first to act. He reached for the thermos, unscrewed the lid, took a sip, screwed it back on, and put the thermos back on the table. His movements were slow, as if he was giving himself time to think.

Vice President Zhou pushed up his glasses, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

The old shareholders exchanged glances, sat up straight, and leaned forward, as if waiting for Tian Jun to say something next.

Tian Jun looked at his old buddies who had been with him for over a decade, and watched as expressions slowly appeared on their faces that he hadn't seen in a long time.

Then he picked up the remote control and turned on the projector.

A PowerPoint presentation lit up on the screen, with a pure white background and four bold black characters in the center: "Dami Auto".

The air in the conference room seemed to be sucked away by those four words.

Some people gasped, some leaned forward instinctively, and some let out a very soft "Holy crap" before quickly shutting their mouths.

Tian Jun didn't speak, but simply let those four words light up quietly on the screen, giving everyone enough time to process them.

Then he turned to the next page and began to speak.

"I know some people will say that the new energy vehicle market is too chaotic right now, with traditional car companies transforming and new players fighting tooth and nail, and the price war is fierce. Now is definitely not a good time to enter the market."

His gaze swept towards Vice President Zhou, who indeed opened his mouth, saying exactly what he had been about to say.

Tian Junchong nodded and spoke for him.

"I know some people will say that Da Mi is a complete newcomer in the automotive industry, with no technology and no connections, so how can he compete with those car companies that have been cultivating the industry for decades?"

How can we compete with those new players who have already established themselves in the market? I know that too.

He paused, placed his hands on the conference table, leaned forward slightly, and his voice became a few decibels deeper than before.

"But it is precisely because the market is chaotic that rice needs to enter the market."

Turbulent times produce heroes, and only through trials and tribulations can true gold be revealed.

No technical skills? Then poach talent!

From today onwards, the R&D department here will raise their recruitment standards to the highest level in the industry. They will poach all the top talents who are overwhelmed by bureaucracy in traditional car companies and the elites who are lost and confused by capital in emerging car companies.

No connections? Then go and build them!

Supply chains are negotiated, distribution channels are developed through outreach, and standards are established through implementation.

Having been in the mobile phone industry for so many years, what tough battles haven't I fought? What hard bones haven't I chewed?

"If we're going to build cars, we'll build something different! We'll set an industry benchmark!"

He flipped through the pages one by one.

From the intelligent cockpit to the chassis architecture, from the three-electric system to autonomous driving, from the supply chain layout to the channel strategy, every page is densely written, and every page is typed out by hand after countless sleepless nights.

The technical vice president sat up straighter and straighter, putting down the thermos cup that was next to his mouth. His eyes were fixed on the technical parameters of the three-electric system on the screen, and his fingers were unconsciously gesturing on the table.

The data charts on the PPT were rapidly flashing in the eyes of Vice President Zhou through his gold-rimmed glasses. The doubt on his face was gradually replaced by another expression, not one of being persuaded, but one of being ignited.

When Tian Jun turned to the page on "Human, Vehicle, and Home Ecosystem", he stopped.
