Chapter 350 Visiting
Chapter 350 Visiting
Yu Xing was aroused by the desire to hunt.
He originally wanted to stay in Lingang, but now he has to go to Xianning to see the new development of new energy. After giving the order to gather people, he also asked Zhang Yangxu to indirectly report the suspected pyramid scheme issues he had collected to the relevant departments, but there was no direct feedback.
This was not unexpected to Yu Xing.
In a case like the Xiangtian Group, it is bound to involve cross-regional jurisdiction issues. It is very likely that the financial team is in this city, the training meeting is in that city, and the grassroots team is in another city. If a joint investigation is to be carried out, it must be reported layer by layer, and the cycle can easily be extended to months or even years.
There is another situation that needs to be considered. Xiangtian Group has gained recognition from some places in the name of new energy. For example, Xianning has established an "aerodynamic vehicle laboratory". There is no doubt that there is an expectation of local investment attraction.
Xiangtian Group cannot handle this through official channels in a short period of time, and a war of words will easily make people feel disgusted. As for how disgusting it can be...
To be frank, Yu Xing is quite accomplished in disgusting people. He didn't want to get entangled with people like Zhou Jiongrong in public opinion, so he decided to engage in physical entanglement offline.
He found that new energy had become a black box.
The final investigation of the last battery scam revealed that it was a pyramid scheme. This time, the pyramid scheme has set its sights on new energy. Not only that, it is also deliberately targeting the Lingang Carbon Silicon Group.
Yu Xing didn’t know whether this could be regarded as recognition of Silicon Carbon Group by the MLM circle, but there was still a poisonous snake hidden in the black box of new energy.
The Carbon Silicon Group took three days to temporarily set up a team to fight against pyramid schemes. Moreover, after learning that the Xiangtian Group had another office in Shanghai, they specially recruited unfamiliar employees to receive training there to demonstrate their interest in the company that the group claimed was going to go public.
When everything was ready, Yu Xing found his familiar NetEase reporter Fei Jiashu, put the relevant materials he had obtained in front of him, and asked the other party if he wanted an exclusive report.
Fei Jiashu gave an unexpected refusal: "Mr. Yu, no."
Yu Xing was very surprised: "Why?"
"Two." Fei Jiashu pointed with two fingers, "I want two exclusive reports. The one about the pyramid scheme is one, and the second one is about the current development of the Carbon Silicon Group!"
Yu Xing understood, but was a little hesitant: "Many people have already questioned our electric car business, and we have not yet achieved any results. If I ask you to write a report like this, it will only lead to more doubts."
Fei Jiashu understood Mr. Yu's concerns and said with a smile, "It doesn't have to be now, and it doesn't have to be this year. I will collect materials and make some records first, and when the time is right, I will write an article or a series of exclusive in-depth reports. I will definitely not smear, but, Mr. Yu, I also want to be as objective as possible."
Yu Xing agreed easily this time: "No problem."
Fei Jiashu was very happy. The Carbon Silicon Group, located in Lingang, had rarely accepted media interviews before, but now he had the opportunity to find out more about this project.
He finally asked a question: "Mr. Yu, when are you leaving?"
"We'll take a plane to Jiangcheng in the afternoon, and then drive to Xianning." Yu Xing replied, "I'll get some materials for you tomorrow."
Fei Jiashu had nothing to prepare, so he simply had lunch at Shuohe International.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, he and Mr. Yu and his party boarded a plane to Jiangcheng.
Fei Jiashu regarded the time spent together as an opportunity for two exclusive interviews.
He inquired about the origin of this "inspection" to the other party's company, and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Yu, since this company may be involved in pyramid schemes, why don't you let the relevant departments handle it?"
"It takes time. I don't want to wait, and I don't think such a company will come up with a sophisticated scam. Rather than arguing with him online or in public opinion, it's better to meet him in person like this." Yu Xing said honestly, "A friend asked me about the feasibility of the technology because Xiangtian Group mentioned the tram I was working on. I gave a negative answer. The boss of Xiangtian Group called me and mentioned us again during an interview. If he does something later..."
He thought for two seconds and continued, "For example, if they come up with a slogan like 'Learn from the Carbon-Silicon Model' and the scam is finally exposed, I will be blackmailed."
Fei Jiashu couldn't help but laugh and said, "If the MLM company keeps mentioning Carbon Silicon Group, that's pretty damaging. Maybe someone will come to you if they suffer a loss."
As a journalist, he has naturally witnessed the diversity of biological species.
However, the term "carbon silicon model" can be temporarily defined as a perspective. Domestic electric vehicles are still to be developed, and Carbon Silicon Group itself is one of the pioneers.
Fei Jiashu silently pondered the situation of the domestic new energy industry. It was no wonder that the MLM company was trying to scam the Carbon Silicon Group. Domestic companies in this field now... BYD has encountered setbacks in the past two years. The Carbon Silicon Group has landed in Shanghai but has no concrete results yet, which is just right for "air-to-air" comparison.
If extended-range vehicles can be put into use in Lingang, won’t zero-emission vehicles require more money?
Fei Jiashu thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Yu, what are we going to do on this trip?" "We are the Shanghai investment inspection team, and we are here to exchange investment ideas." Yu Xing said calmly, "Since we want to invest, we must understand the technical details of the project. Moreover, Xiangtian Group claims that it has the opinions of experts and has experts who have signed to approve the feasibility of the project. I have already found someone."
He leaned back and pursed his lips: "That person over there is Professor Song. He said that his signature was for the registration of the seminar. He was just invited to attend the seminar. There was no so-called feasibility study at all."
Fei Jiashu looked back and saw an old scholar with a hapless look on his face.
He sighed: "Scammers love to take advantage of information asymmetry. There are scammers in every industry."
Yu Xing hummed, "Cheating eternity."
Fei Jiashu glanced at Mr. Yu.
Yu Xing suddenly realized that he had spoken fluently, and hesitated for a moment: "Who said this..."
Fei Jiashu gave the correct answer: "It is over the mountain."
Yu Xing nodded: "It seems so."
"What does Mr. Yu think of Guo Shanfeng?" Fei Jiashu chatted and said with longing, "It would be great if I could do an exclusive report on Guo Shanfeng as well."
Yu Xing pursed his lips. If we don’t talk about this topic, you will almost become a peripheral reporter of the mountain peak…
From Shencheng to Jiangcheng, and then drove from Jiangcheng to Xianning.
There is not much to say about Xiangtian Group, so Yu Xing and Fei Jiashu talked a lot about the current situation and prospects of the domestic electric vehicle supply chain along the way. The latter was really surprised that Mr. Yu, who studied medicine, seemed to have extensive industry knowledge.
Because the passing team is still arriving, they will rest in Xianning tonight.
The next morning, two buses carrying the entire team headed straight to the laboratory set up by Xiangtian Group in Xianning, and Zhou Jiongrong had asked Liu Jiankai, former vice president of Today Capital, to meet there.
Just as Yu Xing was instructing Fei Jiashu to prepare for hidden filming, he suddenly received a message on WeChat from the secretary of the leader who had visited Lingang last time, and learned two hours in advance that policies related to the development of the new energy vehicle industry were about to be introduced.
——"Energy-Saving and New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Plan (2012 - 2020)".
Unlike previous plans, this time we made an important plan for eight consecutive years.
Yu Xing thanked the secretary for the notification. Just as he was thinking about the possibility of the company's engine development, the bus had already arrived at Xiangtian Group's aerodynamic vehicle laboratory.
The location is slightly remote and has been put on display. There is also a bus with "Xiangtian Aerodynamic Test Vehicle" written on the body parked in the factory area, but there is no sign of production.
Liu Jiankai arranged a meeting this afternoon, and the group arrived half a day earlier to save time. There were also a dozen or so people in the factory who were suspected to be here to visit the new energy technology.
Yu Xing took a quick glance and felt that these people might be potential subordinates who were deceived into coming here. He didn’t know whether the one introduced in the middle was a middle-level or senior-level person.
"Hey, what are you doing?" A security guard in the factory saw a group of people suddenly coming and asked in surprise.
"I'm Liu Jiankai, who's here to discuss investment with Mr. Zhou Rongrong. We've already made an appointment." Liu Jiankai said loudly, "Where's Mr. Zhou?"
"Liu Jiankai? Have you made an appointment?" Li Tianrui, who was introducing original shares in the yard, was a little confused. He looked at the group of people again. He didn't know which province these brothers were from. Or maybe the person in front of him was also doing a Ponzi scheme and now wanted to merge with us?
He said subconsciously: "I am Li Tianrui, responsible for the research and development of the laboratory. Mr. Zhou will come over later. You go in and sit down first. I will finish talking to them about these things."
Yu Xing and Liu Jiankai looked at each other. You haven’t forgotten to complete the MLM work. You’re still spreading it. Here we go!
Liu Jiankai smiled and said, "Then let's listen together. Mr. Zhou is also going to tell us about aerodynamic cars."
Li Tianrui passed on ten or fifty. A flash of calculation about the improvement of his subordinates flashed through his mind. He smiled enthusiastically and said, "Okay, come on, everyone, listen together. President Zhou will be here soon."
Liu Jiankai nodded happily, gave Song Yufeng a look, and asked him to take a few people to the office to rest first.
Yu Xing waved his hand, and more than forty people gathered around the people and the car.
