Chapter 1429: When there is good news, you must bring your friends along

  After learning about Zhang Qihang's idea, Richard Horn's mind began to become active: How can I make more money from this project?

He did not have the idea that "we in England are the ancestors of finance, and you Chinese have only been playing with finance for a few days". After all, the scale of the two companies is there, and the power of capital is enough to make a small capitalist like Richard Horn ignore all factors such as skin color and nationality. He was just a little annoyed: regardless of whether the project itself makes money or not, it can create a concept and make money from shareholders after listing. This is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it before?

After hesitating for a moment, Richard Horne asked tentatively, "Sir, your idea is indeed very creative. Can I invite a few friends to join in?"

How could Zhang Qihang not know Richard Horn's idea? He wanted to limit himself by introducing more partners. Of course, this statement could also be understood in reverse, as he wanted to ensure his right to speak in the company.

So Zhang Qihang nodded happily: "Of course no problem, but Mr. Horn, I must remind you that Horn is ranked outside the top 20 among British car dealers. There are at least 20 companies ahead of you."

Richard Horn's face suddenly changed.

Of course, he understood what Zhang Qihang meant: I hope our cooperation will be pleasant, but if our cooperation is unpleasant, I can find another obedient "partner".

The Chinese man in front of him was different from the Chinese people he had met before...

After taking a deep breath, Richard Horn said to Zhang Qihang: "Mr. Zhang, this matter is too big. I need to think about it carefully and discuss it with several other shareholders of the company."

"Of course, I can fully understand," Zhang Qihang nodded and said to Richard Horn, "But I still hope that you can give me an answer as soon as possible, Mr. Horn."

"I will."

Richard Horne forced a smile.

........................

After seeing Richard Horn off, Zhang Qihang patted his palms gently.

When I was talking with Richard Horn about car-sharing just now, he suddenly thought of another project, but this project requires stronger Internet thinking.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qihang picked up the phone and called Zhang Fox: "Fox, do you have time?"

Zhang Fox smiled happily: "Brother Zhang, if you want to find me, you have to find time even if you don't have time."

"Well, since you have time, then come over. I have an idea for a new project, and I think we can work together."

Zhang Huli agreed without saying anything: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Ever since the success of the game project and the recent Sohu V-blog project, Zhang Huli now has a blind trust in Zhang Qihang. In his opinion, as long as Zhang Qihang is optimistic about a project, it must be a good project.

———————————— Zhang Huli arrived very quickly, arriving that afternoon, which surprised Zhang Qihang: "So fast?"

"Of course it's faster, it's a private jet," Zhang Huli's mouth was grinning happily to his ears, "I just realized that private jets are good, they are convenient."

Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded.

The private jet that Zhang Huli took was not bought by him, but rented. To be more precise, it was chartered.

Ever since Zhang Qihang talked to Zhang Huli about buying a private jet last time, Zhang Huli, a guy who likes to play, has been paying attention to this matter. He thinks it would be more convenient to have a business jet that can be deployed at any time. However, after learning about the relevant domestic policies on business jets, he discussed it with Xia Mucheng and decided to temporarily sign a one-year long-term charter contract with the earliest business jet company in China: Silver Deer Airlines, with a usage time of no less than 400 hours.

I plan to use it for the next year to calculate the comprehensive cost and convenience. If it is really cost-effective, I will buy one.

Xia Muqing also used it twice and praised the comfort and quietness of the private jet.

After a few greetings, Zhang Qihang said to Zhang Fox: "Fox, I called you here for two reasons. One is that I want to entrust you to help me develop a mobile phone application for car-sharing..."

"Car-sharing?" Zhang Huli raised his eyebrows. "Hua Teng Group is planning to do this?"

Zhang Qihang smiled and said, "Hua Teng Group's main business is of course automobile manufacturing, but it doesn't prevent us from making a little money, right?"

"Car-sharing..."

Zhang Huli hesitated for a moment, but still said to Zhang Qihang tactfully: "This project is good, but it is not suitable for China, right? You also said that if you want to do this project, you need the cooperation of smartphones, but if I remember correctly, the current smartphone penetration rate in our country is less than 15%."

"Fox, you are right. We are not doing it in China, but in Europe," Zhang Qihang smiled and nodded, explaining to him, "A British car dealer came to me. When I was chatting with him, I suddenly thought of Daimler Group's CAR 2 GO project, and the poor traffic conditions and high taxi fares in major European cities such as London, Milan and Paris. I thought, with the current development of 3G technology and smartphone technology, since Daimler can do car-sharing, we can do it too."

Zhang Huli often goes to Europe and North America, not just for business trips. He loves to have fun by nature, so he often goes to Europe to have fun. Now, after hearing what Zhang Qihang said, he slapped his thigh excitedly: "It's true! The economy in Europe is more developed, the penetration rate of smartphones there is relatively high, and the traffic conditions are not very good. It is indeed more suitable for car-sharing, but..."

At this point, he frowned again: "But Brother Zhang, forgive me for being frank, the personal quality of the people in Europe is far from as high as our domestic media says. Not to mention the petty theft, it is also possible that some low-quality people will leave a pile of poop on your car as a souvenir for the next passenger. After the car is put in place, the subsequent maintenance costs are not low."

Zhang Huli, who often travels to Europe, has seen a lot. When it comes to Europeans and the European environment, he certainly does not have the filter that Chinese people of this era use to look at Europe. But he knows too well what Europe is like: thieves and poop everywhere.

There were some things he was too embarrassed to say: It would have been fine if they had just left some "souvenirs" on your car, but those damn guys stole your car as well.
