I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

The next day, inside the Jiangqi Group factory.

"Hey, you're a boss now. The funding for our company is provided by your father. By the way, I haven't visited your grandma for many years..." Zuo An took Chen Xi on a tour while chatting with his parents.

He had received help from Jing Li and Chen Xi's grandfather in the past, and would often visit the retirement home to wish them a happy new year. The relationship between the two families was considered very good.

"Uncle Zuo, there are so many new energy vehicle brands on the market now. Can you compete with others? JAC's advantage is making trucks, and they must have invested a lot of money in new energy vehicles." Chen Xi said, looking at the electric car in front of him that was exactly the same as the one in his previous life.

“We have to do it even if we can’t win the competition. If we don’t do research now while there are subsidies, the cost of researching later will be much higher. Every car company cannot have a single model. There is no future for JAC to only make trucks. I’ll tell you in secret. The leader said at the last meeting that in the future they will introduce several good new energy vehicle companies to Xinlu to transform Xinlu from a city of electrical appliances to a city of new energy vehicles…” Zuo An looked around and whispered something in Chen Xi’s ear.

Hearing this, Chen Xi looked at him in surprise. This news was absolutely true. In the future, Xinlu would become the country's number one new energy vehicle production base. I didn't expect Zuo An to know the news so quickly. No wonder he was working so hard to develop new products.

"The iEV1 was launched last year. It is equipped with an electric motor with a maximum power of 27kW/200N·m. It is matched with a continuously variable transmission. It only takes 50 seconds to accelerate from a standstill to 6km/h, and the maximum speed can reach 95km/h. The use of a relatively high-density lithium iron phosphate battery has enabled the cruising range to reach more than 100km. At the same time, the battery has undergone key optimization and testing in terms of waterproofness, safety management system and durability, and has met the country's mandatory standards..." Zuo An introduced, pointing to a car in front of him.

"This is a modified Tongyue, the exterior doesn't seem to have changed much, but there's an extra display screen inside."

"Huh? You've also studied our cars."

"Hahaha, since I'm here to talk business with you, of course I have to understand you." Chen Xi laughed.

He was very familiar with JAC's car models, having ordered a large batch of them in his previous life.

"By the way, what kind of business do you want to discuss with me this time? If you just want to buy a car, I suggest you wait a little longer. To be honest, today's new energy vehicles are not very practical. You see, the price of this car is 11 yuan in the market, but the performance of gasoline cars of the same price is better than this. Although there are policy subsidies now, consumers have psychological doubts about these new things. I drive a gasoline car myself, hahaha!" Zuo An didn't want Chen Xi to spend money in vain, as an old acquaintance, he kindly advised him.

"I understand. I also feel that there are many problems with new energy vehicles now, so I plan to do another thing first."

"what is that?"

"We just need to lay down the electric charging piles first. After all, only with the electric charging piles can the cars be charged."

"There are not many new energy vehicles on the road now. If we lay electric charging piles early, we will invest too much in a short period of time and we won't even be able to recover the cost. It is better to wait until there are enough new energy vehicles before starting to lay charging piles to make money." Zuo An analyzed the situation and gave a reasonable explanation.

Chen Xi certainly understood this, but Zuo An did not know about the policy regulations that were about to be released.

According to the situation in the near future, the government will encourage some companies to build electric charging piles and give good preferential policies. In this way, the cost of laying will be greatly reduced, and land can be occupied everywhere, and there will be good income in the later stage, so there will be no loss of money at all.

"It doesn't matter. We plan to lay out electric charging piles first, and then temporarily use these points as paid parking lots and car washes. When the number of electric vehicles increases, they can be used directly, so that the electric charging piles will not be left idle."

"But laying electric charging piles is very expensive. It's not a small amount of money..." Zuo An thought for a while and looked at Chen Xi suspiciously.

He knew that Chen Xi's family was well-off, but there were so many cities and villages in the country, and he couldn't imagine the number of charging stations if every place had one.

"Well, I will first select a few places for pilot projects, and then slowly roll out the system. There is no rush. I have calculated that a slow charging pile costs about 1,000 yuan, and a fast charging pile costs about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. A point needs at least four charging piles, and there is also a site fee. Let's save costs and keep it within 100,000 yuan. If you can provide me with charging piles at cost price first, then I will purchase JAC's new energy vehicles in large quantities in the future..."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Let's do logistics, logistics for new energy vehicles!" Chen Xi came to the office and expressed his idea.

In fact, it is similar to the Australian Hail Hop model.

Not long ago, the mobile version of Baidu Map was launched, and it also supports Android and iOS clients, so it can be used directly.

"According to the current mileage of new energy vehicles, it is not very practical to use cars for logistics." After Zuo An digested the information that Chen Xi said, he sent out another denial.

"Well, of course the new energy vehicles on the market won't work. If you want to use it, use your 'special edition', which is a model that has not been launched on the market. Of course, I know the ins and outs of your industry. The batteries used in JAC's new energy vehicles do not have a fixed manufacturer, that is, there are multiple suppliers. According to the battery version, the 'special edition' you actually produce can run a higher mileage, but this is far from what I want."

"Then you want to..."

"I have been abroad for many years and I am very familiar with foreign battery manufacturers. There is a company that produces excellent batteries, but they faced bankruptcy due to poor management and other reasons. Coincidentally, I have acquired this company and plan to develop new batteries with JAC and Yongtai Technology..."

"I've heard of Yongtai Technology. It's a leader in the chemical industry and also provides battery materials to many companies... I just don't know which battery manufacturer you are talking about..." Zuo An looked at Chen Xi in confusion.

"This battery manufacturer specializes in lithium batteries, mainly supplying small devices such as beauty devices. Do you know what this is?" Chen Xi said as he took out a small, oval object from his clothes.

Zuo An picked it up and looked at it left and right but couldn't figure it out. Finally, he shook his head and said, "What is this? It keeps vibrating after I press the switch. Is it a massager?"

"No, it's a new facial cleanser on the market. Look at this palm-sized thing, how long can the battery inside last?" Chen Xi picked up the facial cleanser and pointed at the charging port and asked.

"This thing is just like an electric toothbrush. It will run out of power after one or two weeks of use at most."

"Hahaha, its battery life is beyond your imagination. Under normal standby mode, you can leave it for three to five years, and it can still be used for about a few months after turning it on."

"How is it possible? There is no such thing in the world. Batteries also consume power when they are in standby mode. All batteries have self-discharge. The self-discharge rate of lithium-ion batteries is relatively low, but they will definitely run out of power after three to five years." Zuo An shook his head in disbelief and explained lithium batteries to Chen Xi.

"You'll know if you try it. This face washing machine is here for you, you can try using it yourself." Chen Xi pointed at the things on the table with a very confident expression on his face.

Chen Xi is not exaggerating. He had used this thing in his previous life, and the battery durability and lifespan were so amazing that he was shocked.

However, this battery also has its disadvantages, that is, the cost is too high, which is one of the reasons why their company went bankrupt.

A vibrating facial cleanser with no technical content actually costs thousands of dollars, and the most valuable material is this super battery.

As a result, after the face wash came out, domestic copycat manufacturers followed suit. By eliminating the cost of batteries, the price of the face wash was directly reduced, and the beauty instrument company went bankrupt.

This is how the market works. Your product may be better than others, but if consumers don’t buy it, no matter how good the product is, it won’t be successful.

After leaving JAC Group, Chen Xi boarded a plane and headed straight for Huajing. Time was tight, and he had to deploy everything before the project started.

We can’t do everything together as we did in our previous life.

Since all those small projects were successfully completed after he fell, it means that this method is feasible. If we do them one by one, then the chances of success will be greatly increased after connecting them together.

However, this approach also has disadvantages.

That is, we cannot build momentum together, nor can we spread the cost to other shareholders, we have to spend more money to do it ourselves.

In the evening, Chen Xi walked out of a factory in the suburbs of Huajing, feeling exhausted after a day of talking. He was about to go back to the hotel to rest, but his cell phone rang unexpectedly.

"Hmph, what does this woman want to do by calling me suddenly?" After seeing that the name displayed on the phone was Xu Yun, Chen Xi snorted coldly.

She said she wanted to cooperate with him before, but this woman turned around and joined Lin Xi. Now she called again, she must have something to ask for.

In a hotel near the Young Returnees Association.

"Chen Xi, my father suggested a marriage between our two families with good intentions, but your dad flatly refused. Does he look down on our family?" Xu Yun asked, pointing at the man in front of her while crossing her legs in a bathrobe.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Chen Xi, who was holding a cigarette and puffing smoke, spoke slowly.

What the hell is wrong with this woman so late at night?

I'm tired after a day's work, and you called me here just to say these nonsense words?

"Don't pretend you don't know. What you and your son did is so hurtful. I'm so beautiful, have a good figure, am gentle and virtuous, and am the little princess of the group, and you actually look down on me?" Xu Yun almost fainted after learning what happened from her father.

With so many men around her, her marriage was rejected by someone. How could the proud Xu Yun tolerate this?

"Haha, I can't see what you just said at all. At most, you have a good figure. Look at yourself in the mirror now when you are angry. How can you talk about being gentle and virtuous?" Chen Xi pointed at the mirror not far away and almost laughed out loud.

This woman is really good at flattering herself. With this appearance, she looks like a future internet celebrity.

"you……"

"You called me here so late at night just to say this? Or do you want to seduce me?" Chen Xi deliberately looked at the other person's long legs exposed under the bathrobe with lustful eyes.

Although this woman's appearance was not to his taste, she did have a good figure.

"Well, of course I called you here for something important. I heard that you went to the Overseas Chinese Association and asked about the accounts."

"Yeah, you kept saying before that you want to cooperate with me, but now you're guarding against me like a thief. You want to have your cake and eat it too? Hehehe, Linxi is not a simple person either. With your little tricks, you want to destroy us and become the president? I think you'd better forget it." Chen Xi exposed the other party with just one sentence, causing Xu Yun to blush with shame and anger.

"Who... who said I'm going to be the president... Don't frame me." Xu Yun was, after all, a girl in her twenties. She was so enraged by Chen Xi's words that she couldn't even speak clearly.

"Why do you look a little different today?" Chen Xi squinted his eyes and looked at her. Usually Xu Yun was coquettish. This was a hotel, and they were the only man and woman in the same room. According to the old Xu Yun, she would have sat on his lap and said some coquettish words.

"I... I'm different in some way. You want to see the accounts of the Returned Overseas Chinese Association, right? I can show them to you." Xu Yun tried to remain calm.

"Oh, I suddenly don't want to watch it now. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I've been running around all day and I'm a little tired!" Chen Xi stood up and stretched.

"You are such a weird person. I saw that you were more concerned about the accounts, so I specially asked you to come here. Now you just pat your butt and leave..."

"So what do you want? Do you want me to stay overnight?" Looking at Xu Yun who suddenly sat on the bed, Chen Xi walked over with a wicked smile and deliberately moved closer to her.

Xu Yun was frightened by Chen Xi's action and subconsciously fell on the bed. She raised her hands in panic and tried to resist: "Chen Xi, please don't mess around."

However, the man on the bed ignored her and reached for the other's bathrobe.

"Hey, Mr. Secretary General, you don't even know how to put on clothes. Your underwear is almost showing."

A few seconds later, Xu Yun felt her waist tightened, and the belt of her bathrobe, which she had deliberately loosened, was tied again. She also heard a man's teasing voice in her ears.

"You...you..." Xu Yun pointed at Chen Xi and couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Are you trying to say that you are a eunuch? Even a beauty like me has taken off my clothes, and you still can't do it? Hahahaha, Xu Yun, you'd better not use your little tricks to embarrass yourself." The man in front of her took out a small camera from the tissue box on the bedside table while laughing.

"You...how did you know?" Xu Yun looked horrified.

"You're still trying to play the same trick on me, little girl." After deleting the video, Chen Xi gently patted Xu Yun's little face.

Li Yuqing had used this trick before in her previous life, and he had never been fooled before. How could he not discover it in this life?
"Hehe, now there is no camera, let me see what you can do." Chen Xi smiled wickedly and lifted the woman's chin with his hand.

Seeing this, the fear on Xu Yun's face disappeared instantly. Instead, she elegantly posed on the bed in what she thought was a very sexy position, and rubbed her feet against him.

The next second, Chen Xi tore off the other person's bathrobe.

Looking at the naked body of the woman, Chen Xi raised the corner of his mouth: "What a slut, she's not wearing anything underneath."

Just when she thought something was going to happen between her and the other party, Xu Yun felt her hands and feet tighten and she was actually tied up.

"Hmph, just stay here quietly." Chen Xi stretched and walked towards the bathroom while taking off his clothes.

"Let me go quickly, don't be so rude, it's not like I don't want to." Xu Yun shouted seductively on the bed.

"You talk too much nonsense." Chen Xi picked up the socks on the ground and stuffed them into the woman's mouth.

Xu Yun on the bed reacted violently instantly, twisting her body violently, and it was unclear whether she was angry or because of the stench. (End of this chapter)
