I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 219: The importance of branding

The Maybach EX is limited to 5 units worldwide and is expected to sell for 4.2 million euros, equivalent to 28.66 million yuan in personal currency.

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

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

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

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

Due to the acquisition of Lingyu Technology, the Lingyu Technology Building under construction was also transferred from the left to the right hand with the tacit consent of the second largest shareholder 361, under the umbrella of Futureman Technology, and was officially renamed Futureman Technology Building.

Sure enough, having your own office building 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.

This feeling is really amazing.

Just half a year ago, he was just an ordinary person walking at the bottom, doing nothing for his meager salary. But now, he has gained the qualification to overlook it all.

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

In the future of another world line, this place will be desolate.

... ...

Different from those "traditional chairman images" who have majestic faces and conscientiously make decisions on large and small affairs of the company, he is very young and very energetic. His desk is very clean, so clean that no files can be seen.

His eyes were a little lazy, and he just looked out the window motionlessly, looking at the endless flow of vehicles and hurried people on the street. She didn't know what was so good about those things. She couldn't think of any better words to describe everything on this street except that it was crowded.

The above is Xia Shiyu's perspective.

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

Just like Jiang Chen looked out the window quietly, she also looked at his side face unconsciously and observed it for a long time, so that she forgot the time.

They had been working together for a long time, but she always felt that she still didn't understand him at all. And he. He seems to know himself well.

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

With Jiang Chen's insight, he noticed her from the moment she came in. But what he didn't expect was. This little girl didn't actually speak, but looked at herself dumbfounded.

Speaking of which, I haven't had a good conversation with her since the last party.

"Ah, yes, a little bit. Ahem." Xia Shiyu, who realized that her tone was a bit panicked, coughed slightly, adjusted her mood, put on her professional expression, and said again, "It's about just now Regarding the agreement with Daimler AG.”

"Um."

Jiang Chen turned around, slid his chair back to his desk, sat up slightly and said, "Let's talk."

"By applying the Futureman 1.0 system to cars, is the boss planning to enter the automobile industry?" Xia Shiyu asked habitually, pushing up her glasses.

"We don't have this plan for the time being, but we don't rule out the possibility in the future." Jiang Chen shook his head. "In addition, the system customized by the Daimler Group is not a transplant of Futureman 1.0. The development of the software is still left to overseas teams, and I will be responsible for this."

According to Jiang Chen's plan, Future Human Technology will naturally not let go of the big cake of the automobile industry. As a major selling point, artificial intelligence is naturally indispensable.

If this is the case, then why accept the commission from Dailem Group to help them design this artificial intelligence autonomous driving system? Of course, this is not about extending the cake to them first, but it is a consideration with another layer of meaning.

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

To give a very simple example, the quality of Dongfeng Motors is actually pretty good. But can it be sold at the price of a Mercedes-Benz and a BMW

To a certain extent, the make of the car you drive can reflect the worth of the car owner. To a large extent, a car is not just a means of transportation, but a status symbol. In layman's terms, it's just a tool to show off. Driving a Lamborghini to pick up girls is definitely easier than driving a Volkswagen.

The reason for the proposal is to put the Futureman 1.0 logo on the startup screen of the system. Not for advertising purposes. After all, this new car launched by Dailem 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, its sales volume is destined to not be very high. As an advertisement, its efficiency is naturally extremely low.

Jiang Chen is interested in the brand! Let the Futureman 1.0 brand be linked to the high-end market. With the newly launched luxury cars of the Daimler Group, the Futureman 1.0 brand will be exposed and warmed up for independent entry into the market.

Imagine that as soon as you start a luxury car launched by the Daimler Group that contains this system, you will see the eye-catching and cool logo of Futureman 1.0. Naturally, in the future, the trademark "Human 1.0" will be involved in the automotive field and high-end market.

As for those car manufacturers that seize the "first opportunity"...

If Jiangchen launches a new energy vehicle with superior performance, it will be a question whether those car manufacturers will continue to exist. Just like you can't see a steam locomotive today.

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

Of course, these are things for the future. The next strategic focus of Futureman Technology is not cars that have nothing to do with it, but mobile phones.

Hearing this, Xia Shiyu nodded.

"Then this matter will be left to you to negotiate. On the other hand, Linhua Group has sent you an invitation letter, inviting you to participate in the Wanghai City Business Forum to be held in three days."

After saying that, Xia Shiyu took out a gold-gilded invitation card from his briefcase and placed it on his desk.

Linhua Group is 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 can be regarded as one of the leading companies in Wanghai City.

"Wanghai City Business Forum?" Jiang Chen picked up the invitation letter from the table and frowned in confusion. He had never heard of this name.

"Well, it is said that the participants are elites from all walks of life. Assets of over 100 million are just one of the thresholds. Whether you can qualify to participate depends on your influence in the industry." Xia Shiyu nodded and said.

A gathering of rich people

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

"Are there any benefits to attending a party like this?"

Hearing that Jiang Chen asked so directly, Xia Shiyu couldn't help but hold her forehead.

"There are definitely benefits. After all, it is a gathering of Wanghai City's upper class. Get in touch with people of the same level and make some like-minded friends. The accumulation of these connections is a kind of wealth in itself."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen touched his chin thoughtfully.

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

After being stunned for a moment, Xia Shiyu said immediately.

"Of course, it is certainly feasible to bring the women to the party."

"Okay then, come with me." Jiang Chen said without thinking.

However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he said these words, Xia Shiyu's cold face turned red. (.)
