Chapter 3035

When Xiao Changkun came back to his senses, he was already in tears.

And the student opposite him thought he was unwell, so he asked him again: "Vice President Xiao, do you want me to help you call your family and let your wife pick you up?"

Ma Lan's sharp and mean face instantly appeared in Xiao Changkun's mind, and he trembled all over with fright. He hurriedly wiped away his tears and stammered: "No... no trouble... I... I just got something in my eyes..."

That person clearly didn't believe his clumsy excuse and hurriedly said with concern: "Vice President Xiao, why don't you call your family, or should I help you call a designated driver to send you back?"

"No, no." Xiao Changkun hurriedly waved his hand: "I'll call my son-in-law and let him pick me up. He just happened to return to Jin Ling, so he should be fine."

After speaking, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called Ye Chen.

A few minutes ago, Ye Chen had just left the coffee shop and was preparing to send He Yuanjiang to the car first.

Seeing He Yuanjiang walking straight to a domestic new energy car, he asked somewhat suspiciously: "Uncle He, you didn't seem to drive this model before, right?"

"This car is newly bought." He Yuanjiang laughed: "I teach finance, carbon neutrality, new energy, and supply chain to students at school. I did a project on the overtaking of domestic new energy vehicles in corners some time ago. In order to understand it in depth, I simply changed to a domestic new energy car, which can be considered as supporting the domestic car manufacturing industry with practical actions."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "I met my grandfather and two uncles a few days ago. The An family is also investing in the new energy field in China. The first layout is power lithium batteries. They are still very optimistic about new energy."

He Yuanjiang's eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Power batteries are a good track. Although it is a bit late to enter the game now, this is the core of the new energy industry. The component with the highest cost of new energy vehicles is the power battery, so whoever can get the most cost-effective battery can build the most cost-effective car. I believe that with the strength and vision of the An family, they should not only focus on power batteries. They start with power batteries, and their final goal must be whole vehicle manufacturing. After all, the upstream industry of the automotive industry is too hard, the asset model is heavy, and the profit space is low. It is only by making overall solutions that there is more opportunity."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "Uncle He, are you very optimistic about the new energy industry?"

He Yuanjiang nodded and laughed: "Of course I am optimistic. This is the best example of overtaking in corners. Old industrial powers have settled in the field of internal combustion engines for too many years, forming their own technical barriers and their own positioning comfort zones. Latecomers can only imitate them all the way, but there is no chance to surpass them on their track. In this case, they can only find ways to change to a new way of playing that they haven't paid attention to yet, develop in silence on this new way of playing first, and when they develop to a certain extent, they will kill out to impact their foundation, forcing them to change from the previous lead to chasing you on your track, so that they can subvert all their previous advantages."

Speaking of this, He Yuanjiang added: "Have you studied how Apple headphones used a product to overtake in corners?"

Ye Chen shook his head: "No."

He Yuanjiang said: "For so many years, old earphone manufacturers have been touting moving coils, sound quality, wire materials, and various data and technologies that ordinary people don't understand at all. If Apple competes with them in those standards, there is no chance at all;"

"But Apple directly made a true wireless earphone with independent binaural, which automatically connects when the lid is opened, automatically switches when worn on the ear, automatically pauses when taken off, and automatically charges when put back. As for sound quality, it doesn't matter at all. Aren't other brands studying sound quality? I just don't talk to you about sound quality. I just want to work hard on the level you haven't paid attention to outside of sound quality, and then compete with you. This is overtaking in corners;"

"Look at the earphone market now, it has been completely ruled by Apple headphones and Apple headphone imitators. It can be responsibly said that the development of traditional wired headphones for hundreds of years has been completely subverted. I believe that new energy vehicles will also be able to subvert the entire automotive industry one day in the future."

As he spoke, He Yuanjiang added: "Of course, it is too early to talk about these now. New energy vehicles are not mainstream after all, but precisely because it has not become mainstream, there is opportunity for entrepreneurs. Once it squeezes out fuel vehicles and becomes mainstream, it is equivalent to the dragon slayer finally becoming a dragon. Many people have begun to study the next new track. The An family is coming in now, although they didn't grab the first opportunity, it is still not too late."

Ye Chen asked again: "There are too many domestic new energy brands now. Do you think there is still a chance for whole vehicle manufacturing?"

"Of course there is." He Yuanjiang said earnestly: "There are indeed many new energy brands now, and many are struggling on the line of life and death, and many have died. But the auto market is so big, and new energy only accounts for a small part of it, which proves that the future of new energy is still promising. And now entering the new energy whole vehicle manufacturing, if the competitors are aimed at other new energy brands, the pattern is indeed a bit small. We should enlarge the pattern and compete with those traditional fuel vehicle manufacturers. If we can cut the global sales of Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai in half, that is the real giant."

As he spoke, He Yuanjiang remembered something and opened his mouth: "Ye Chen, in fact, you can also study this field. You are not short of money or resources, and you have the shipping channel of Yisu Shipping. If you do the automotive industry, there will be a lot of room for development, and this industry is very fulfilling. If one day the streets are full of cars you manufacture, that feeling must be very proud."

Ye Chen laughed: "To tell you the truth, Uncle He, my education is not high, and I don't know much about cars. If you really let me do this, I will be blind."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "But I agree with your point of view very much. The new energy market is a trend, and the future proportion will definitely be higher and higher. If you are interested, I can introduce you to my eldest uncle and second uncle. If you want to try, I can also be your investor."

He Yuanjiang hurriedly waved his hand and mocked himself: "I am just an old pedant who studies finance. Let me talk, I can talk for a day and a night, but let me operate, I guess I am not as good as you."

Ye Chen shook his head: "Sometimes, what is needed to do an industry is not necessarily professional technology, but strategic vision. No matter how strong the technology is, choosing the wrong direction will only be a dead end. If the An family wants to do whole vehicle manufacturing, they must learn from you. If you can join, it would be even better!"

He Yuanjiang laughed: "Joining is forget it, but I have studied the domestic new energy market in detail after returning to China. If they are interested, I can be an honorary consultant and talk to them about some of my ideas, which might be a little helpful to them."

Ye Chen hurriedly said: "That's great! How about this, after you and Aunt Han finish the wedding, I will find a chance to arrange it, let everyone meet and talk well."

"No problem." He Yuanjiang agreed readily, and then said: "Ye Chen, I will go to the University for the Elderly to pick up your Aunt Han, let's talk in detail when we have time!"

"Good!" Ye Chen nodded, and after watching He Yuanjiang leave, the idea of digging He Yuanjiang out of the university couldn't help but arise in his heart.

At the beginning, he wanted to dig him to be the person in charge when he did Yisu Shipping, but he didn't seem to have much interest in shipping at that time, and his mind was all in the school.

But after talking to him about these today, Ye Chen found that he had full enthusiasm for new energy vehicles. If he built a stage in the new energy field with real money and silver, and then invited him to participate, he would probably not refuse.

Having made up his mind, Ye Chen decided to let his eldest uncle and second uncle come to see He Yuanjiang as soon as possible after his wedding.

Just at this time, he suddenly received a call from Xiao Changkun.

He pressed the answer button and opened his mouth: "Dad, anything?"

Xiao Changkun said in a somewhat hoarse and decadent voice: "Good son-in-law, where are you?"

Ye Chen said: "I am drinking coffee with a friend outside and talking about things. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Xiao Changkun said: "Good son-in-law, if it is convenient for you, come to the University for the Elderly to pick me up. I feel blocked in my heart and want to find someone to talk to..."
