Chapter 355 The icing on the cake
Chapter 355 The icing on the cake
From aerodynamic cars to Youngman cars to Lotus cars, the pyramid scheme scam made Yu Xing, who was busy with the project, look up at the possibility of overseas operations. This was probably... a reward.
Or, fate.
This sports car is destined to be with me. I will see if I can use yuan to exchange it for the destiny when the time comes.
The scheduled time to go to Fengtian to meet with Shen Hang Mitsubishi was approaching, but there was still no response from the capital, which made Cui Zhiyu, who took over the matter, quite worried.
He kept muttering to himself whenever he saw Mr. Yu, always feeling that without a definite answer things were getting worse.
Yu Xing was helpless and could only say, "Boss Cui, don't be so pessimistic. I think there is hope as long as they don't deny it outright. They may be helping with the operation. Why are you so anxious?"
Cui Zhiyu had to be anxious as he was about to go and talk to Shenhang Mitsubishi. If he could bring good news about policies, this round of meeting would be more likely to promote cooperation.
But since his boss said so, Jingcheng couldn't push him, so he could only try his best to suppress his emotions and toss and turn at night hoping that his first job after joining Carbon Silicon Group would have an outstanding result.
On the morning of July 7, Yu Xing arranged the work for the next three days, leaving enough time for this round of meetings.
Near noon, he saw Zhong Zhiling, Lu Haiying and Zhong Ai, a family of three.
"Oh, Zhong Ai's eyes are quite big." Yu Xing teased Zhong Ai in the stroller and said with a smile, "I heard from Xiao Ying that you didn't give her a nickname, but just called her 'Zhong Ai Zhong Ai'. Isn't the little girl aggrieved?"
"She doesn't understand yet. When she does, she'll get used to it. Sometimes she calls me 'baby'." Lv Haiying had a gentle smile on her face. "She can eat and sleep well. She doesn't feel wronged at all."
"Don't be blown by the wind. It's strong here. Let's go to the cafeteria to cook a little and see what Xiaoying wants to eat." Yu Xing greeted the family of three, and talked with Zhong Zhiling about the recent developments of Carbon Silicon Data Company while walking.
Regarding the question of whether to integrate or not, Zhong Zhiling has discussed it with Yu Xing, and has also talked with IDG and Today Capital. Overall, he is inclined to give it a try, but he also wants to observe the inevitable changes for a while.
However, Today Capital has already taken action. Xu Xin is currently negotiating financing with Meilishuo, and it is said that the deal will be reached soon. The reason why she is so quick is because Penguin Capital also wants to invest in Meilishuo. The reason is naturally related to the ongoing competition.
Today’s Capital hopes to take up a position first.
"Ms. Xu is very confident in the e-commerce field that she is good at." Yu Xing listened to Zhong Zhiling's report and analysis and said, "Even if Carbon Silicon Data doesn't make a move, there is still Penguin. The current O2O market also has stories to tell. She must try it anyway."
Zhong Zhiling agrees with this: "Yes, Mogujie has raised two rounds of funds last year and has money in hand. It doesn't seem to be in a hurry now. Whether it is Mogujie or Meilishuo, they have a good amount of traffic on their own. There is room for imagination in the new market area."
Content shopping guides are not working, vertical e-commerce is under pressure, and we can also talk about the O2O direction.
He added: "I discussed this with Mr. Zhai and others. Our initial idea is to try it by the end of the year at the earliest, if IDG also invests in Mogujie, if the changes in the industry are basically over, and if we do have certain capabilities."
Yu Xing said, "Well, let's just sit back and watch. With the traffic in hand, there's no need to rush."
It depends on what the two companies think in the next six months, whether IDG and Capital Today will actually take action, and whether a group of non-Ali e-commerce companies such as JD.com, Lefeng, and Jumei can continue their model.
There was a small kitchen in the company cafeteria, but Lv Haiying didn’t actually eat much and spent most of her time taking care of Zhong Ai.
"Xiaoying, what do you think about your future work?" Yu Xing asked Lu Haiying about her thoughts when he was about to finish eating.
Lv Haiying had already talked with Liu Wanying and knew that her senior was more optimistic about the future of Carbon Silicon Data. At this moment, she did not hide anything and said straightforwardly: "If possible, I hope to come to Lingang. Bai Xiaosheng's revenue comes from the recruitment market, and Carbon Silicon Data has more room for growth."
Yu Xing nodded slightly, without saying much: "Okay, then wait until you are ready and see what kind of work content is suitable."
Lv Haiying thanked his senior brother and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I will save the salary from Carbon Silicon Data and use it to buy a car from Carbon Silicon Group. This car is designed for families, which is perfect."
"Okay, the carbon silicon electric car will be the icing on the cake for your family." Yu Xing thought it was great.
However, he had been thinking about the "Lotus" thing in his mind these days. Just after he finished saying this, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "A car positioned as a family car can add icing on the cake of a beautiful family. Isn't this a good promotional theme?"
Lv Haiying replied: "Very good, it's the icing on the cake."
Yu Xing slightly shortened the sentence: "——To make it even better, what do you think... the name of this car should be 'Jinhua'?"
Lv Haiying groaned, knowing that the Carbon Silicon Group’s first electric car had not yet been named. The previous “Beta” was abandoned due to considerations of the overseas market, but this…
She hesitated and said, "Jinhua, Jinhua, this is the name of the car. Is there any car with flowers in its name?"
Yu Xing nodded instantly and said, "Yes, Lotus, a famous sports car, is also a flower."
"Jinhua, icing on the cake, not bad, it's also suitable for a mid-to-high-end brand targeting families. After all, the car is expensive, and this kind of car is for icing on the cake." Zhong Zhiling first praised the meaning, and then said, "But lotus is a specific flower, icing on the cake, flowers are blooming, how about 'Flourishing Flowers'?"
Yu Xing silently repeated it twice: the flowers are in full bloom and the icing on the cake is even better.
If it is named like this, and if Lotus Cars is acquired and integrated, "Fanhua" will be positioned as family, and "Lotus" will continue to represent performance, which would complement each other. If other market-positioning models are developed later, a consistent "flower" style can be formed.
"I think it's a good idea. Let the design department discuss it and see what they think."
Yu Xing smiled and thought that this was a good name that he had considered recently.
That afternoon, the issue of naming the first model was discussed enthusiastically again, and no consensus could be reached in a short period of time.
The next day, Yu Xing, Cui Zhiyu and others flew to Fengtian according to the itinerary, hoping to promote cooperation on the "range extender".
However, the negotiation had been stuck for a while, and the people at Shenhang Mitsubishi were getting a little impatient.
Yu Xing had just arrived at his destination and had just seen someone when he was stabbed in the face.
"Mr. Yu is really busy. You have to go there to crack down on pyramid schemes." Zhao Hongchao from Shenhang Mitsubishi smiled.
"Yes, Mr. Zhao, the pyramid schemes that affect the brand image must be cracked down. I am the one who is in charge here. I have to do everything myself. Sorry for waiting for a long time. Good things should be waited for a long time." Yu Xing continued the conversation without caring and maintained a warm handshake, which eased the atmosphere of the meeting.
