Chapter 3150

As soon as the four characters "Changying Automobile" appeared, everyone at the scene was stunned by this unique momentum.

Many people couldn't help but think of the great man's line from back then: "Today the long tassel is in hand, when shall I bind the gray dragon?"

Although this was a question, one could perceive from it a kind of confidence that victory was already in hand.

And for the many media reporters, they not only knew that poem by the great man, but they also knew that the name of the Ye family's second young master, who had passed away in the prime of his life, was Ye Changying!

The media reporters suddenly realized!

So, the car brand jointly invested in by the An family and the Ye family was actually to commemorate Ye Changying, who had passed away many years ago. No wonder these two families would suddenly choose to cooperate after twenty years.

At this time, An Kaifeng on the stage paused slightly and said with emotion: "The 'Changying' in Changying Automobile is taken from the name of my late brother-in-law, Ye Changying. The reason for choosing this name is also to commemorate him, and in the hope that Changying Automobile can inherit his character of never admitting defeat and bravely climbing to the peak. The An Group and the Ye Group will also exhaust all their efforts to build Changying Automobile into an internationally renowned car brand. We also hope that our two families can live up to his name and live up to his expectations."

When An Kaifeng said these words, two lines of clear tears slid down the corners of Ye Chen's eyes in the audience. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly wiped the tears away with his sleeve.

Meanwhile, at Mount Putuo, An Chengxi was already streaming with tears as she watched the live video of the press conference.

She also hadn't expected that the car brand jointly created by her maiden family and her husband's family would be named after her late husband.

When she saw that red tassel fluttering in the wind, she could no longer hold back her emotions, and silent tears streamed down her face.

Sister Sun saw it in her eyes and felt the pain in her heart. She hurriedly handed her a tissue and comforted her: "Madam, you should be happy. In this subordinate's view, with the An family and the Ye family cooperating, there is no second name in this world that can compare to Changying. Sir's spirit in heaven will definitely be very gratified!"

An Chengxi took the tissue, gently wiped away her tears, and said: "Sister Sun, you're right. I can't think of any other name that could be more suitable than this. Changying Automobile... I am already starting to look forward to the day when cars of this brand can drive all over the world, letting everyone know the two characters 'Changying'!"

Sister Sun nodded and said: "Madam, rest assured. This time it is a strong alliance between the An family and the Ye family, and with Young Master Chen sitting in the background, Changying Automobile will definitely become famous all over the world!"

"Hmm!" An Chengxi nodded heavily and said faintly: "I hope that by that time, I will also be able to see them openly and honestly."

At this time, at the press conference, An Kaifeng, following the established procedure, invited Ye Chen's grandfather, the old master Ye Zhongquan, to the stage.

When Ye Zhongquan stepped onto the stage, his eye sockets, wrapped in deep wrinkles, were red. After shaking hands with An Kaifeng, he took the microphone and said: "When Changying resolutely returned to the country from abroad more than thirty years ago, he once made a grand wish to devote his life to the development and modernization of the motherland. It is just a pity that he and his wife, Madam An Chengxi, passed away in the prime of their lives and were unable to complete their lifelong wish. Now that China's new energy industry is rising, our two families hope that through our concerted efforts, we can make a contribution to the development of China's automotive industry that will be remembered by the world."

Ye Zhongquan didn't say too much. After a few brief sentences, he put down the microphone and looked back at the car brand and logo named after his son, as if time had stood still.

Subsequently, An Kaifeng invited An Qishan to the stage as well.

An Qishan stepped to the front of the stage, took the microphone, and said to the audience: "I have read countless people in my life and have seen many top talents and elites from all walks of life, but I have never seen anyone who could surpass Changying. This cooperation with the Ye Group to establish Changying Automobile is also the last battle in the business careers of us two octogenarians. In the name of Changying, we two are willing to stake all the honor of our lives on this. I also ask all friends who are concerned about Changying Automobile to believe that our two families will definitely do our utmost for this brand!"

The brief and sincere speeches of the two old men moved countless viewers in front of the screens and made the audience look forward to the future development of Changying Automobile even more.

Immediately after, An Kaifeng personally escorted the two old men off the stage. When he returned, he said to the audience with full confidence: "Next, I will introduce the general situation of Changying Automobile to our media friends and audience members through a set of PPT slides;"

"First, our initial investment is 40 billion US dollars. I have already introduced this just now; this is the largest single investment in the field of automobile manufacturing;"

"Secondly, our goal is to build a super factory in Jin Ling within one year with an annual output of at least 350,000 new energy vehicles, and to increase the annual output to 700,000 within two years. With the launch of the second phase of the project, we will achieve an annual output of 1.5 million vehicles within five years;"

The plan to achieve a production capacity of 1.5 million vehicles within five years shocked everyone.

Nowadays, new energy car companies with an annual output of over 1.5 million vehicles are almost as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and those that can reach this scale basically have more than a decade of accumulation and have gained the first-mover advantage.

For a new brand to achieve a production capacity of 1.5 million vehicles within five years is almost unbelievable.

But what they didn't know was that this was actually just the goal for Changying Automobile's Jin Ling super factory, and it was only to cover the domestic market. In the future, once Changying Automobile could fire its first shot, Ye Chen and the An family would immediately invest in new super factories in the eastern coastal areas, specifically to cover the overseas market.

By then, the annual output would be set at 3 million vehicles as a goal.

In fact, most people felt that An Kaifeng was a bit too confident when they heard the plan for an annual output of 1.5 million vehicles. The automobile industry is not a fast-moving consumer good like beer or beverages. Since the vast majority of people will not replace their cars for at least three years after buying them, everyone basically has to consider and decide carefully before buying a car. If the production capacity baseline is set so high, once the vehicles do not meet market demand and sales are sluggish, the funds lost every day will be an astronomical figure.

Back then, Evergrande Automobile's investment scale was also very large, and the founder also made a grand wish to become a new noble and leader in new energy vehicles, but in the end, it was a complete failure.

However, Ye Chen had no doubt about this goal in his heart.

The capital strength behind Changying Automobile is beyond doubt, and there is also a great talent like He Yuanjiang, who has a very deep study of new energy vehicles, serving as CEO. More importantly, once the AI model is launched, it will be a great help to Changying Automobile's in-car software. Moreover, the An family and Ye Chen are financially strong. After the car models are launched, not making a cent or even selling at a loss is not a problem. They will definitely be able to spread out comprehensively at the fastest speed.

What's more, Ye Chen has so many big suckers like Steve Rothschild overseas. If the vehicles produced by Changying Automobile really don't sell, he can distribute them one by one when the time comes, which can also make its export volume rank first in the country. He will never let this brand go downhill.

At this time, An Kaifeng continued: "Thirdly, we will launch at least five self-developed new energy car models within the next five years;"

"In addition, we will also invest in a self-developed and self-produced power battery production line in Jin Ling during the second phase, and achieve self-sufficiency in all power batteries within five years;"

This sentence once again caused the whole scene to explode.

An Kaifeng just said that they want to achieve an annual output of 1.5 million vehicles within five years, and now they want to achieve self-sufficiency in all power batteries within five years. This means that the production capacity of this battery production line within five years will also reach 1.5 million power batteries off the line every year. This move is indeed very remarkable.

An Kaifeng also said: "Based on the five-year plan I just mentioned, we plan to provide at least 50,000 jobs for Jin Ling within the next five years;"

"In addition, I also want to announce our supporting investment. We will add an additional 2 billion US dollars to carry out in-depth cooperation with major colleges and vocational schools in Jin Ling, including but not limited to investment, donations, commissioned training, scholarships, joint construction of laboratories, joint research on innovative technologies, and joint school running. Within the next five years, we plan to provide at least 50% of the positions to students from cooperative colleges;"

The educational investment alone is 2 billion US dollars. This really left the media reporters at the scene speechless.

This money is different from investing in production lines. The money for production lines is all invested in oneself, while educational investment, if as An Kaifeng said, is basically invested in major colleges and universities. Such great courage and moves, let alone in Jin Ling, even looking at the whole country, have almost never been seen.

And An Kaifeng also said surprisingly: "Changying Automobile's settlement in Jin Ling this time, we have regarded our development as one with the development of the city of Jin Ling. In the future, Changying Automobile will be deeply bound to Jin Ling in all aspects, cooperate for win-win results, and go all out to make it bigger and stronger! We also hope that in the future, Changying Automobile can rush out of China and go to the world together with the city of Jin Ling!"
