Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

Just as Xiao Churan said, the entire Jinling, and even the entire China, are paying attention to the specific content of the cooperation between the An family and the Ye family.

The relationship and grievances between the two families over the years had actually been well known across the country as early as twenty years ago.

Various newspapers, magazines and gossip news at the time did a lot of so-called analysis on the feud between the two wealthy families. Even now, a simple search on the Internet can yield a large number of related articles. Many of these articles have undergone a certain artistic processing of the events of that year, with a very high degree of distortion and very low credibility.

But the more this kind of rich family gossip that is difficult to tell whether it is true or not, the more people will use it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

However, in the 20 years before that, the two families had never responded to the feud between them, nor had there been any substantial evidence to prove that the two families still had any dealings.

So even though no one knows what exactly happened back then, everyone knows that the two families have long since reached the point where they have no further contact with each other.

It is really surprising that the two major families have suddenly announced their strategic cooperation. Not only major media outlets are paying attention to it, but the general public is paying more attention to it.

The Ye family and the An family were also very high-profile this time. The press conference used the largest banquet hall in Buckingham Palace. After it was decorated as the press conference venue, it could accommodate at least two thousand reporters.

This time, all well-known media around the world were invited. The number of media reporters and staff confirmed to attend the press conference alone exceeded two thousand.

But Ye Chen didn't expect that his wife, who never liked to join in the fun, would be interested in this press conference.

Anyway, I had originally planned to go to the press conference as a spectator, so it wouldn't matter if I went with my wife.

Xiao Churan went out early after breakfast. Not long after she left, Ye Chen also drove out of the house and headed for Buckingham Palace.

Today, Buckingham Palace has completely stopped all external business. Security personnel are deployed inside and outside to ensure the safety of important figures from the An and Ye families. Even the relevant departments have specially sent a large number of security personnel from Yanjing to be responsible for security work on site. It can be said that this greatly highlights the importance China attaches to the An family, the largest foreign investment.

This also sends a strong signal to the outside world and those who have ill intentions towards the An family that the An family is distinguished guests in China who have brought huge investments to China, and no one will be allowed to endanger their safety.

When Ye Chen arrived at Buckingham Palace, his grandfather's family and his own grandfather were already seated in the largest conference room.

He Yuanjiang also arrived early with his newly-wed wife Han Meiqing. Today, they not only had to announce the cooperation projects between the two companies, but also their personnel appointments.

After Ye Chen arrived, everyone began to sort out the process of today's press conference and the detailed information to be disclosed to the public.

Ye Chen's second uncle An Kaifeng spoke first: "Everyone, let me first introduce the main process of today. The press conference will start on time at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. There is no external host for today's press conference, so I will be the host. From 2 o'clock to 2:20, I will give a welcome speech to the media friends, and then announce the cooperation project between the An family and the Ye family, which is the Changying car brand;"

"Next, I will ask Uncle Ye to speak first, and then my father to speak. The content of your speeches will mainly focus on the reasons and goals of our cooperation. After your speeches, I will once again give a summary report of the first phase to the media friends. At that time, I will use PPT to disclose all the data of our Changying Automobile on the spot, including but not limited to our investment scale, hardware scale, team scale, and the models we plan to launch in the future;"

"After this, I will introduce Professor He and Professor Han to the media friends, introduce their resumes, and the positions they will take up in Changying Automobile. After the introduction of the two, each of them will have five to ten minutes to speak. After the two finish their speeches, I will make a final summary;"

"After I make my final summary speech, we will move on to the media question session. This time, we plan to have half an hour to answer ten questions. I will randomly decide who will ask questions, and we will not make any prior arrangements. However, I will explain the basic rules of asking questions to everyone in advance. They can ask me, Uncle Ye or my father, or Professor He and Professor Han. The questions must be about Changying Automobile. If anyone asks any questions that are not related to Changying Automobile, or deliberately wants to bring up the past grievances between the two families, I will directly refuse to answer and pass the right to ask questions to the next person. We are also equipped with a large number of security personnel and staff to maintain order on site. If a reporter pesters me with some inappropriate questions, I will directly arrange for the microphone to be muted on site. When he asks anyone, please don't let the other party disrupt the rhythm. We will just move on to the next question."

"In addition, when answering questions, please stick to the core of Changying Automobile and try not to spread the topic. After answering the ten questions, I will thank all the media friends present and announce the successful conclusion of this press conference. This is basically the process. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

An Kaifeng has been an agent for many years and has rich experience. His process has been very clear and the parts that everyone needs to cooperate with are also explained very clearly, so everyone said they had no questions.

Seeing that everyone had no problem, An Kaifeng nodded and said, "Since no one has any questions, let's move on to the next step, which is the synchronization of specific information disclosed by Changying Automobile to the public."

After a pause, An Kaifeng continued, "We have announced that the total estimated investment of Changying Automobile is 50 billion US dollars, with a first-phase investment of billion US dollars. It will be jointly funded by the An family and the Ye family, each holding % of the shares;"

"The initial 20 billion US dollars will be mainly used to prepare for the construction of the super factory and supporting facilities in Jinling. We refer to the time node of Tesla's super factory, and our goal is to achieve groundbreaking and production within one year;"

"As for the remaining 20 billion US dollars, it will be mainly used to increase production capacity, upgrade products, and penetrate and develop upstream and downstream industries such as auto parts, vehicle logistics, and vehicle sales."

Ye Chen said at this time: "Second uncle, I propose to add 2 billion US dollars of education funds to the first phase of investment, to carry out in-depth cooperation with major universities and vocational and technical colleges in Jinling. On the one hand, we will invest in them and let them upgrade and strengthen their related majors. On the other hand, we will also invest in these colleges and universities to jointly establish automobile-related majors based on our actual needs;"

"A portion of this will be used to establish special scholarship and grant programs to support outstanding and poor college students who are willing to study in Jinling and choose automotive-related majors. This is relatively important. We haven't had time to communicate in depth with these colleges yet, but I believe that with solid financial support and job opportunities, they will not refuse to cooperate with us. So at the press conference, please ask Professor Han to make an appeal and ask the relevant persons in charge of all Jinling colleges and universities to communicate with us face to face after the press conference on this issue."

"Great!" He Yuanjiang said excitedly, "I have been teaching at universities in the past few years, and I am very familiar with the needs of schools and students. For schools, the employment rate and quality of graduates greatly affect the overall attractiveness of schools, and for young people, excellent and stable employment opportunities are extremely rare. To be honest, it is not common in previous school-enterprise cooperation. Most companies only provide employment opportunities for graduates during campus recruitment, and they think it is already very remarkable. We can not only provide financial assistance, but also provide employment. For the college, we are like living Bodhisattvas, and they will definitely attach great importance to it."

"That's good." Ye Chen said, "Many companies have many preconditions for their assistance and support, and many companies are just seeking fame and reputation, not really having that sense of social responsibility. Our own positioning is to be the leading car company of China's new energy vehicles, and we also bear the reputation of the An and Ye families, so we naturally cannot be stingy when it comes to school partners."

He Yuanjiang bowed his head and did some calculations, then said, "Mr. Ye, to be honest, 2 billion US dollars for education funds seems a bit too much. The number of relevant talents that Jinling can train each year should not exceed 10,000, and we can't recruit all of them. We still have to recruit based on merit. I estimate that around 200 million US dollars will be enough."

Ye Chen nodded: "It certainly won't cost that much money just to subsidize colleges and students, but I think we need to have deeper cooperation with those schools that are interested in developing automotive-related majors. A very important point is to provide them with research funds;"

"So my idea is that we can have in-depth cooperation with the expertise of these institutions, and both parties can jointly fund the establishment of laboratories, or we can simply fund the establishment of laboratories and hand them over to them for use. The laboratories must be as world-leading as possible;"

"A considerable number of local companies do not attach importance to scientific research. They earn hundreds of billions of dollars every year, but instead of using their profits to develop new scientific and technological achievements, they use them to develop new gaming products, fast-moving consumer goods, and live streaming products. Although I am not qualified to judge whether they are right or wrong, I do not want us to be the same as them. 20 billion US dollars is just a start. If these colleges and universities work hard and can make full use of the hardware and funds we provide to develop better technologies, I am willing to increase this amount fivefold next year."

At this point, Ye Chen said seriously: "Our cooperation with the colleges this time is to position ourselves as real living Bodhisattvas, giving money to the colleges to strengthen their school strength and giving money to students to solve their life difficulties. Regardless of whether these students come to Changying Automobile to work after graduation, we will ensure that they can study wholeheartedly until graduation. Even if they do not come to Changying Automobile after graduation and are diverted to other car companies, they are also contributing to the Chinese automobile industry. If they are willing to stay in Jinling and join Changying Automobile, then we can be regarded as saving others and saving ourselves, and our merits are immeasurable!"
