Shockingly, a counterfeit factory has produced a 3-nanometer chip.

Chapter 439 Zhao Ming: Who cares about the final entrepreneurial venture, Glory 8 is here!

At the same time, Lei Jun also caught up:

"After we announced our car manufacturing last year, we were subjected to a lot of ridicule. Various bloggers criticized us, as if making cars was a mistake."

How utterly depraved can some people be?

They even said that our rice doesn't have the genes to make cars!

But I didn't argue with them, because I believed that once I succeeded, their ridicule would have no effect.

After all, this world judges by results.

So, in order to make those who mock us feel our sincerity and turn them into Dami car owners, my focus will shift to Dami Auto, which is the starting point of Dami's second entrepreneurial venture.

We don't just want to build cars, we want to build good cars that young people can afford!

After saying that, Lei Jun changed his profile picture to the logo of DaMi Auto, a silver and rounded rice character icon.

Under his lead, these female fans also changed their profile pictures to the same style as soon as possible.

Lei Jun scrolled through the comments, reading them one by one, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Since his series of mishaps, he hasn't seen so many positive voices in a long time.

It seems that making cars is indeed his chance to turn things around. Although this opportunity was obtained by exchanging controlling stake, as long as he can turn things around, it is all worth it.

Most importantly, Transsion currently only has three models, and while sales are not low, he is confident that they will surpass them.

At that moment, Zhou Shouzi knocked on the door and came in, holding a document in his hand.

"Mr. Lei, it's been confirmed with Silver Lake."

The first installment of $20 billion will arrive next week, with the remainder to be paid in two installments after the Spring Festival. Furthermore, the supply chain contracts have been revised, with prices reduced again by 5%.

Lei Jun also looked excitedly in the direction of Guangzhou. The telepathic communication was indeed powerful, but in this world, you need teammates.

He does have the ability to transmit sound, but considering the impact, it's absolutely impossible to give him a cheat code. However, when you are a small or medium-sized enterprise, there are many more options available!

That 200 billion yuan could burn through the coffers of other new energy vehicle companies for three years, but according to his plan, it won't take that much.

"The money's here, let's get started!"

Lei Jun stood up and paced excitedly back and forth in his office.

He's thinking about a crucial question!

Transsion's car license plates are issued directly, so DaMi Company cannot acquire bankrupt car companies, otherwise it would mean that it is inferior to Transsion!

"Please arrange a meeting with Secretary Guo in the next couple of days. I'd like to invite him to dinner and discuss the future plans for rice."

I also want to meet with Wang Chuanfu from BYD, and the president of the Chinese region of the PhD.

Manufacturing cars is not as simple as manufacturing mobile phones; the supply chain needs to be built from scratch.

"I'll have someone take care of it right away."

Lei Jun opened his phone again and scrolled to Shen Fei's Weibo. Shen Fei's most recent post was still a teaser from Transsion Motors, announcing that the new Transsion M9 SUV is expected to be launched after the Chinese New Year...

Several thousand people have already placed orders in the comments section, and Transsion's official website shows that the number has reached 2.

In the car manufacturing industry, Transsion and Xiaomi still have a long way to go, but he believes that anything is possible, and he, Lei Jun, is not that incompetent.

…………

Meanwhile, in Guangzhou, at Transsion headquarters.

Shen Fei was taking a walk with Zhang Mingzhu when she saw a wonton stall by the roadside and instantly stopped in her tracks!

She started to fawn over Shen Fei, and Shen Fei couldn't resist, so he agreed.

"Boss, two bowls of wontons, please!"

Zhang Mingzhu quickly grabbed Shen Fei's hand and shook it: "Thank you, husband."

Then she sat down on the chair next to her with an expectant look on her face, waiting for her food to be served.

A little while later, Zhang Mingzhu saw the official announcement of the rice on Weibo and handed over her phone.

"Honey, Lei Jun has secured 48 billion yuan in investment from Silver Lake and is starting to promote his car manufacturing project again. How credible do you think this time is?"

Shen Fei took the phone, glanced at it, and handed it back to Zhang Mingzhu.

"This time it should be for real, and it might even be quite well-made?"

This time, it was Zhang Mingzhu's turn to shake her head in confusion. After all, her impression of Lei Jun was that he was a big talker, with a technical skill score of 30, but he could somehow give people the feeling of being an 80 through marketing.

"That's really what you think?"

"Do you think they'd let Lei Jun (CEO of Xiaomi) mess around after spending 48 billion?"

Zhang Mingzhu realized what was happening instantly and quickly slapped her head.

She forgot that 48 billion US dollars is close to 300 billion Chinese yuan, which is a huge investment.

Sigh, as the saying goes, pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. When will this aftereffect of pregnancy finally go away...?

"Aren't you worried? We also have a car business!"

"Don't worry."

Traditional cars rely on engines and other components, while new energy vehicles rely on the three core electric components (battery, motor, and electronic control system). We are experts in this area.

"And Professor Wang's semi-solid-state battery testing has already begun, so don't worry."

After saying that, Shen Fei patted Zhang Mingzhu's head again...

Just then, the owner brought over two servings of wontons, and Zhang Mingzhu stopped thinking about it...

…………

Shortly after the official announcement of the rice brand, Honor also began to take action.

January 15th, Mercedes-Benz Arena, Shanghai.

The press conference is scheduled to begin at 7 PM. It's 6:30 now, half an hour away, but there's still a group of audience members outside who haven't entered yet...

Three Honor brand display vehicles were parked in Chaowai Square, with huge red banners proclaiming:

"Honor 8 series, bringing full-screen displays to the masses!"

Outside the venue, scalpers were weaving through the crowd with paddles in hand, shouting, "Any tickets left? Buying at high prices!"

"Tickets are being sold at exorbitant prices!"

However, none of the scalpers were asking questions, since those with tickets had already gone in. Those standing outside the venue were all waiting for the big screen to appear and experience the atmosphere!

At the same time, Honor's official live stream also officially started, and as soon as it started, a large number of excited viewers immediately squeezed in.

"It's here, it's here, the Honor 8 is here!"

"After the S5 was released, full-screen displays instantly became the new trend. The feel was just amazing, but there's no one to truly master it. Let's see how Honor will popularize it this time?"

"How are they going to popularize it? With that garbage code on Android, how are they going to adapt it?"

"If you ask me, we might as well just use the Taishan system for everything, since Transsion is open source anyway."

Meanwhile, Shen Wei, the founder of LanChang, was also considering something as he watched the buzz: LanChang needed to transform itself, or they would become the next rice company!

But since we're already using TaiShan chips, do we really have to use a domestically produced system?

Although they have already made a name for themselves, but...

A complete switch to domestically produced operating systems and chips means that two vital systems have been handed over to them, a decision that is not easy to make.

Looks like I'll have to ask the boss for advice.
