Reborn: Billionaire in College

Making cars has never been an easy task, otherwise Boss Jia’s FF car would not have been produced in ten years, and he would not have been either raising funds or on the way to raising funds, and finally he even mortgaged the factory.

However, even if the car is manufactured, it does not mean that it will be profitable. The worst thing is that it will just remain half-dead.

This is true for both HiPhi and the later AMG.

Jiyue naturally had a good foundation. Baidu provided its autonomous driving technology and served as its financial sponsor, and Geely helped with production. Yet, it went bankrupt in the end, and its departure was particularly ugly, with employees' wages and social security owed.

On the contrary, latecomers such as Xiaomi and Huawei were unexpectedly successful.

It includes not only impressive technology, but also marketing itself.

For Jiuzhou S1, Orange Technology and Chen Pingjiang himself are the biggest marketing. With Chen Pingjiang around, sales are naturally guaranteed.

Lei Jun spends money to buy hot searches, but Chen Pingjiang is different. He doesn’t need to buy them. He has the entire hot search in the shape of a person, not to mention that Weibo and Douyin are all his.

The two-day media open day passed in a flash, and the information about the Jiuzhou S1 concept electric car was fermented.

More and more car review articles, videos and pictures are appearing on the Internet.

In the 24 years when domestic new energy sources have emerged one after another, Xiaomi has been able to carve out a path for itself, let alone in 14 when domestic new energy sources were just starting out.

Chen Pingjiang supports Jiuzhou S1 with all his strength.

In fact, this car is indeed well made. According to Chen Pingjiang's vision, it has reached the level of the future Ideal One or NIO ES8 four years ahead of schedule.

This is all thanks to the research and development of Orange Technology and Pangu AI in big data and artificial intelligence, the early preparation of the smart cockpit, BYD's assembly technology, and Chen Pingjiang's guidance.

It would be hard for Jiuzhou S1 to fail.

Chen Pingjiang decided the interior design of Jiuzhou S1 almost according to his own preferences.

These are also the highlights of the flagship models of various car companies later, and now they are stitched together by Chen Pingjiang on the Jiuzhou S1.

Ordinary people of this era have never seen this. They are not like the 24-year-old car owners who are numb to high-tech interiors.

…………

On July 7, Army Day, at about 1 a.m., a long queue had already formed at the main entrance of the National Exhibition and Convention Center.

There were car enthusiasts with SLR cameras, parents with their children who had just finished their holidays, and pot-bellied bosses with their young ladies.

"Oh my god, I thought I came earlier, but I'm still late." Dong Tinghui looked at the endless long line, and was a little speechless. He looked at Zhao Shaoyang beside him and said, "You have been with Pingjiang for so many years, and you are also a senior executive of the group. Is there any way to cut in line?"

Zhao Shaoyang rolled his eyes at him in annoyance. "It's useless. I know someone at Orange Technology, but I don't know anyone at Jiuzhou Auto. Besides, even if I do, they are just small fry, just exhibitors. Call Brother Chen yourself, maybe he can make special arrangements for you."

Dong Tinghui smiled and said, "Let's not trouble him. It's just a small matter. Besides, it's not a big deal to wait in line a little longer. Right? Nannan."

If this had happened a few years ago, Dong Tinghui would have definitely been able to swallow his pride. But now the gap between him and Chen Pingjiang is getting bigger and bigger, not just in terms of money, but also in terms of social status. He really can't bring himself to say this.

The girl named Nan Nan is of average looks and young, and is Dong Tinghui's girlfriend.

Dong Tinghui is now 27 years old and has reached the age to get married. This time, after seeing the news about Jiuzhou S1 on the Internet, he specially brought his girlfriend to Shanghai to visit the auto show and travel at the same time.

Dong Tinghui has a good personality and he got along well with Zhao Shaoyang when they were in school, so as soon as he arrived in Shanghai, he called Zhao Shaoyang out.

It just so happened that Zhao Shaoyang himself was also interested in the Jiuzhou S1. It had been a hot topic online these days, and as a car lover, he couldn't help himself. Even if Dong Tinghui didn't call him, he would still come.

"It's okay. The exhibition center is so big that it can accommodate tens of thousands of people. It's just that you will be late to get in." Li Nan comforted him sensibly and looked at Zhao Shaoyang with even more curiosity.

Coming from an ordinary family, it was hard for her to imagine that the man in front of her, who looked a bit unruly, was actually the vice president of Renren Entertainment.

While having dinner last night, the other party made a random phone call and called out a little star that Li Nan had seen on TV before, which surprised her for a long time.

In the past, Dong Tinghui often boasted about his college classmate Chen Pingjiang in front of her, and said that if he had not been ignorant at that time, he might have followed Chen Pingjiang long ago.

Li Nan just smiled at these. In her opinion, although her boyfriend and Chen Pingjiang lived in the same dormitory, their relationship was probably average, otherwise why would he return to his hometown in disgrace after graduation?

"Hey, Lao Zhao, there's a lot of buzz online right now, with people guessing what the price of this car will be. You have a lot of connections and information, so tell me? Will it cost a million?"

Zhao Shaoyang boasted, "I'm telling you, but you can't spread it. Brother Chen's original words were that Jiuzhou S1 is competing with BBA and Tesla, so the price is not much different from them. A million is definitely impossible."

"Tsk tsk! Such a good configuration is less than one million. It's the brand that's holding it back. If the same configuration is given to BBA, they dare to sell it for 500 million."

"Who says it's not?"

Li Nan also came over curiously and asked, "How much is it exactly? 50, 60? 70?"

"Uh!" Zhao Shaoyang shook his head. "I really don't know. It will take at least a year and a half before it is finally launched on the market. The final price will also be determined by the various components in the industrial chain at that time. Moreover, the technology is iterating rapidly now, and it is hard to say what new batteries will be developed by then. In short, it is too early to say anything now."

After that, Zhao Shaoyang changed the subject: "You can order a car directly later, right? The deposit is 10 RMB, just like the Orange phone, it's the founding edition, and it will be delivered in the first batch. I plan to get one just for fun."

Hearing this, Dong Tinghui's expression perked up, he seemed eager to try, yet hesitant to speak.

He has watched a lot of Jiuzhou S1 online these days and really likes it.

Now he is still driving the Kia K3 that his old man retired. Dong Tinghui is planning to get married in two years, which will be a good time to wait for the delivery of the Jiuzhou S1. Isn’t that great?
The only drawback is that, although I don’t know the final price, the Jiuzhou S1 will definitely not be cheap, and I’m afraid my family will not agree.

Zhao Shaoyang, a shrewd man, saw that Dong Tinghui was interested and immediately urged him: "If you want to buy it, just buy it. Don't hesitate for a while. Let's not talk about how good this car is. Just think of it as supporting Brother Chen's business."

Dong Tinghui sighed: "You are a big boss and a rich man. How can I compare with you? The performance of the brewery has been average in the past two years..."

When saying this, Dong Tinghui deliberately whispered it behind his girlfriend Li Nan's back.

Zhao Shaoyang waved his hand: "Hold on tight and settle it first. Anyway, the car will be delivered in two years. You can get a mortgage when the time comes. Just listen to me."

"Open the door, open the door!"

The two were chatting when suddenly someone shouted, and then the people in the queue became restless.

Soon, the team began to move forward slowly!

Zhao Shaoyang and the other two waited for half an hour before they finally entered the convention and exhibition center.

Almost everyone’s first destination after entering the convention center is Kyushu’s booth.

When Zhao Shaoyang and the other two arrived, the Jiuzhou booth was surrounded by people. After squeezing in with great effort, Dong Tinghui smiled and said, "Old Chen is right. You invested so much money to build a car, but you didn't even arrange a few car models."

Li Nan said, "Aren't car models meant to attract people to see the cars? With her popularity, she doesn't need it at all."

During the media open days two days ago, there were many people at the Jiuzhou booth, but definitely not as many as today.

Many people who came later saw that there were too many people, so they had to go somewhere else first and come back later.

Zhao Shaoyang looked at the long queue of people waiting to ride the bus and scratched his head helplessly. He turned to Dong Tinghui and said, "You wait in line here first. I'll think of a solution."

Having said that, the man ran away.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Dong Tinghui felt the vibration of his cell phone in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Zhao Shaoyang.

"Hurry, come here quickly!"

Dong Tinghui let out a long sigh and quickly pulled Li Nan forward.

When he saw Zhao Shaoyang again, Dong Tinghui gave him a thumbs up and said, "Awesome! This is the benefit of having connections."

"No, no, it's not as exaggerated as you think. I told the salesperson that I wanted to order the car right away, and he let me have a little sex."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

After the three excited people got on the bus, they finally realized how awesome Kyushu S1 was.

From time to time, there are people around me touching me here and patting me there, and they are just about to write the word "love" on their faces.

"Oh my god, this car is awesome. It looks luxurious in the pictures, and even more amazing in person. These three big screens are so cool. Hey, honey, I'll drive from now on, and you can watch TV in the passenger seat."

"Try the voice interaction mentioned in the car review."

……

Several people sat in the car for ten minutes before they felt a little unsatisfied. After getting off the car, they felt itchy in their hearts as if they were being scratched by a cat.

Isn't this what it means to be in love but not be loved?

"Why are you still hesitating, J8? Just place an order. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Even if this car is launched in the future, it will take some time to ramp up production. If you don't place an order early, by the time you get it, others will have been driving it for a year. By then, you'll buy it and it'll have a minor facelift just after you buy it. You'll cry." Zhao Shaoyang looked at Dong Tinghui's anxious look and deliberately instigated him. It was interesting to watch.

Suddenly, Dong Tinghui seemed to have made up his mind, and turned to Li Nan and said, "Wife, let's just get it done?"

Li Nan was still a little reserved: "We haven't gotten married yet, you make your own decisions, I can't interfere. But this car is really good, but it's too expensive."

"It's not expensive. Such a good configuration is really not expensive." Dong Tinghui even prepared himself psychologically: "I can scrape together enough money to pay the deposit. If my dad scolds me when I go back, you have to say something good for me."

Zhao Shaoyang found it interesting to see his old classmate being so stingy.

He had no intention of helping. Although he didn't need the money, he always felt that their relationship was not that good.

Dong Tinghui and Li Nan finally finished asking for instructions. They turned around and saw Zhao Shaoyang looking at them with a smile. Their faces immediately turned red. "I can't usually save money. Eating and dating are very expensive. I really regret it now. If I had licked Lao Chen more back then, it would be better than eating and waiting to die now."

"Forget it. Your state-owned brewery is profitable no matter how bad it is. The benefits are good and you can work there for a lifetime. You can't make a lot of money, but you can always have a comfortable life." Zhao Shaoyang joked, "Besides, although you didn't say it at the time, I could see that you were still arrogant in your heart. You couldn't bring yourself to follow Brother Chen."

"Well, let's not talk about it. All the young people at that time were conceited. For example, about..." Dong Tinghui suddenly stopped talking halfway, curled his lips and said no more.

At this moment, he was really envious of Zhao Shaoyang, and he really regretted why he had pretended to be so cool back then.

Chen Pingjiang has such good resources and such a strong support, but he couldn't get close to her. He deserves to be poor all his life.

But it's too late to say anything now. Even if I can lower myself to ask Chen Pingjiang for a job, it will just be a job. I will never be as lucky as Zhao Shaoyang again.

People!

Although hard work is important, choice is more important than anything else.

Isn’t Zhao Shaoyang a living example?

If he hadn't met Chen Pingjiang, he might not be doing as well as Dong Tinghui now.

Only after paying the money nervously did Dong Tinghui finally breathe a sigh of relief. He had worked so hard for a long time, but now he was back to the days before liberation overnight.

…………

Dongjiang River.

After reading the message sent by Zhao Shaoyang on WeChat, Chen Pingjiang smiled knowingly, then turned off his phone and continued watching TV quietly with Yan Yan.

Zhao Shaoyang repeated Dong Tinghui's words in a half-joking tone. Chen Pingjiang would not take it seriously, and would not be so generous as to give Dong Tinghui a car.

We are all about to turn thirty, and it has been a long time since we graduated. Everyone has his or her own destiny.

Over the years, we have less contact and our feelings have faded a lot. Some of us are just "old classmates" in name only.

If Dong Tinghui needed money urgently and asked him to borrow money, Chen Pingjiang would immediately transfer the money without saying a word.

But there is no need to send the car.

More and more former acquaintances have become passers-by in our lives.

Some are classmates, some are old colleagues who have gone through thick and thin together in starting a business, and some are the original business partners.

Dong Tinghui is not the only one who is gradually falling behind.
This is not enough to show that Chen Pingjiang is indifferent.

"We've already contacted the hospital. We'll be there with you in a couple of days."

Counting the days, Yan Yan's due date is approaching.

For safety reasons, Chen Pingjiang still planned to send Yan Yan to the hospital to give birth. The environment there was pretty good anyway.

It has three bedrooms and a living room, is finely decorated, and has all the necessary living facilities. The medical staff are also dedicated, which is much better than if Chen Pingjiang is not at home.

After finishing the work at hand, Chen Pingjiang also plans to rest for a while, spend time with Yan Yan, and welcome the arrival of the new life together.

Although it is not my first time to be a father, I am still nervous and excited. (End of this chapter)
