Metropolis: I Can Modify The Production Date Of Everything!

Albert was certainly not joking.

After Volkswagen's president Hedi received his call, it only took half an hour to reach an agreement among the Volkswagen Group's senior management and shareholders, and then flew to Haicheng.

After returning from the racecourse, Dabai and Xiaohong were much more energetic than before.

The next day, Lin Xuan took Bart and Albert to visit the Haicheng Museum.

Haicheng is one of the most prosperous cities in the world, and it also has the most exaggerated skyline.

Spent a day in the Lujiazui area.

Even the well-informed Albert felt that he had a new understanding of the Dragon Kingdom.

After all, he was in Yanjing more than ten years ago.

Due to the topography of Yanjing, there are not many high-rise buildings.

His temperament is completely different from that of Haicheng.

Volkswagen CEO Hedi has arrived at Crimson's headquarters, and under the leadership of Wei Qiaohong, he visited Crimson's laboratory and saw the test and real-life data of the Crimson prototype.

Lin Xuan and Albert were taking a cruise on the river when Wei Qiaohong called.

Lin Xuan answered the phone: "What's going on now?"

Wei Qiaohong: "Hedi proposed in-depth cooperation with us on behalf of the Volkswagen Group."

Deep cooperation? How deep?

Lin Xuan: "What kind of cooperation method?"

Wei Qiaohong: “They proposed to exchange 5% of their shares with us.

"Volkswagen and Crimson own five percent of each other."

If we look at market value now, Crimson is far behind Volkswagen!

The Volkswagen brand is worth a little over $150 billion.

But this is not the total value of the Volkswagen Group.

Volkswagen has ten sub-brands, such as Audi and Bentley, and it also has large shares in luxury car brands such as Porsche.

Five percent of Volkswagen's shares is no joke.

No matter how good Crimson's technology is, it has only invested tens of billions of soft sister coins, and the first batch of money has not been spent.

There is a hundred-fold difference in size.

Hedi mentioned this because he saw that Crimson needed allies now.

"Want me to come over?"

Wei Qiaohong: "You invited this great master. Even if you are a shopkeeper, you have to look at the store, right?"

"Okay, then I'll be right over."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan looked at everyone: "I have to go to the company."

Albert: "Do you want me to go?"

Lin Xuan: "Forget it, friendship is friendship. Hedi is different from you. He is not from the Dragon Kingdom and does not understand the Dragon Kingdom culture. Friendship is not that important in his eyes."

"What's more, if you join, it will be difficult for both parties to lose face and negotiate the price, and it will be easy for the negotiation to collapse."

"Okay." Albert: "We can just play by ourselves."

Abreu drove back to the headquarters with Lin Xuan in his Bentley.

Lin Xuan came over, and Hedi gave up the visit. In order to show his sincerity, he waited for the forest owner in the parking lot.

Seeing that Lin Xuan was driving a Bentley, the smile on Hedi's face became even wider.

The thin middle-aged man with blond hair and white hair came forward with a smile: "Mr. Lin."

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand: "Mr. Hedi."

Wei Qiaohong: "We arranged lunch on the third floor of the group's canteen."

The negotiation team led by Hedi has many members, including just a few people.

In order to show the importance of Crimson, all the senior officials who could be reached were also present.

On the third floor of the cafeteria, sitting on the round dining table, Hedi and Lin Xuan sat next to each other.

Hedi: "Actually, we have wanted to get in touch with Crimson for a long time, but we never had the chance."

"I didn't expect you and Albert to know each other."

Lin Xuan smiled: “I didn’t expect Albert to be familiar with you.”

Hedi took a sip of wine and said, "Lin, I won't beat around the bush. We at Volkswagen have passed a resolution and we want to reach a strategic cooperation with Crimson."

"All the components required for Crimson Red are all provided by Volkswagen. You can choose accessories from Volkswagen, Audi, Bentley, or even Bugatti and Lamborghini."

"We want to exchange 5% of the shares with Crimson Group."

The other senior executives of both parties who were present were chatting and laughing. When Hedi mentioned this topic, they all looked at Lin Xuan and Hedi.

From the perspective of technical level, this kind of replacement is completely uneconomical. The technology possessed by Lin Xuan will not be available to the public until 2040.

But from the perspective of resource allocation, this kind of replacement is a waste of money. The maturity of the public will take Crimson no idea how many years it will take to catch up.

This is also the first time that cross-holding has occurred since the birth of Crimson.

I never expected it to come so quickly.

Lin Xuan did not shy away from looking at Wei Qiaohong: "What do the major shareholders say?"

Wei Qiaohong nodded and said: "No problem, no problem, but is five percent too much?"

This replacement is absolutely possible.

The problem is that the proportion of mutual shareholdings has to be adjusted.

Lin Xuan originally thought that CCB might reject this move.

But after thinking about it carefully, Lin Xuan understood.

There is an idiom in the Dragon Kingdom called "behind closed doors".

Volume 3 of Zhu Xi's "The Doctrine of the Mean": "As the old saying goes, make a car behind closed doors and follow the same path when you go out."

The ancients knew a thousand years ago that you can't just close the door and play with yourself when building a car.

Such a complicated matter requires information from many sources and support from many sources.

And today's cars are more than ten thousand times more complicated than cars a thousand years ago?

Crimson is now well-known in the technology circle, and has also left a seed in the domestic consumer base.

But compared to the public, it is still far behind.

All three of the current domestic giant car companies are related to Volkswagen.

In a way, in the car-making industry, Deguo and Longguo are closely connected.

To put it simply, the Chinese car companies have already thrown themselves on the Dragon Kingdom's chariot and will never get off no matter what.

Now that Crimson appears, carrying black technology that transcends the times, it is normal for the public to want to cooperate.

Lin Xuan: "Hedi, our Crimson Group is still listed on the market. After you exchanged shares with us, you have very troublesome legal issues."

"I propose a plan."

"We, Crimson, provide one percent of the shares and will not dilute this one percent of the shares before the subsequent listing."

"If we go public in Crimson, then based on the stock price, you have the right to redeem at least 1% of the shares in cash."

After listening to Lin Xuan’s plan.

Hedi: "Lin, you are very confident in your stock price."

"Do you think that once you go public, 1% of your stock price will exceed 1% of Volkswagen Group's shares?"

Lin Xuan smiled: "We are different from Deguo. Before our shares are listed, we need to maintain a profitable state for three years before we can be listed in Haicheng."

"Three years later, we have already trampled Tesla under our feet. How strong Tesla is in the stock market now will be how strong Crimson is in the stock market by then."

Lin Xuan's meaning is obvious. Yinzhong needs to match four times the price to get one percent of Crimson's shares.

Hedy has been in this industry for too many years. Since he took office six years ago, the stock market of automobile companies has become Tesla's territory.

Hedy knew very well that no matter how good Masco was at telling stories, trying to make pie, or bragging, it would be useless in front of Crimson's technology.

No matter how Musk brags, he is bragging about the overall market for new energy vehicles, not Tesla.

Once someone beats Tesla in this field, the buff bonus of this new energy leader will be replaced.

And Crimson is the new leader.

Hedi thought for a moment: "Let's discuss it separately?"

All the senior executives of the Volkswagen Group left the meeting and started discussing next to them.

This discussion is not evasive, and I don’t mind if the crimson people hear it.

After discussing for a while, Hedi said: "The one percent share will be implemented according to your plan, Mr. Lin."

The public's current sense of crisis is very strong.

After many years and the efforts of generations of presidents, Volkswagen has acquired a large number of fuel vehicle brands.

Unexpectedly, new markets have opened up instantly in the past ten years.

If the public does not fall behind, they can only use today's resources to exchange for future benefits.

To reach the level of the public, to abandon the original identity and enter a new field, the power needed to make a U-turn is too great.

The public needs a buffer period.

As for Crimson, as a new enterprise, it needs a huge power to take off.

In fact, both parties did not have much room for consideration.

It was an instant hit.

The length of this negotiation was scary, and the content was even scarier.

Early the next morning.

Volkswagen and Crimson officially announced at the same time that the two parties will cross-hold each other.

As soon as the news came out, the entire technology world was shocked.

A large number of people are ready to sell Tesla. If the U.S. stock market had not been at a different time, it might have collapsed.

However, Masco's ability to deceive people is indeed very strong. He used only three sentences to overcome the crisis.

"Volkswagen is very strong, Crimson Technology is very good, but Tesla is very mature."

"The stock price, Tesla's stock price is not going to go down.

"Me? I have to watch the rocket launch, but I don't have time to care about what my friends and businessmen are doing."

Of course, each of Musk's three sentences has a purpose.

But the effect is obvious.

Tesla’s stock price did not fall, but Volkswagen’s stock price rose!

This thing is very magical. It shows that one of the two giants has a huge shareholding and can actually hedge against the aftermath of such big news.

The one with the most moisture is of course Tesla.

But leeks all over the world don't care about this, they stick to Masco unswervingly.

This is a good thing. Crimson will sit back and watch Tesla maintain its dominance of new energy vehicles, and it will only need to replace it in the future.

Within traditional car companies, many large companies cannot sit still.

Just like what Masco said, Crimson's technology is very powerful, Volkswagen's strength is very strong, and with the combination of powerful forces, another giant is rising.

It's hard to fall back from second to third, and it's simply unacceptable to fall back from third to fourth.

All companies are looking for opportunities to squeeze into the new energy vehicle market.

From this perspective, Crimson further helps new energy vehicles encroach on the market of traditional fuel vehicles.

Finalizing cooperation is one thing, signing a contract is another, but the real cooperation is docking.

It's much more complicated.

Lin Xuan, the hands-off shopkeeper, was extremely incompetent and actually spent three days sorting out everything at Crimson Headquarters.

Wei Qiaohong has not grown up yet, and it is still difficult to cope with this scene.

As for Lin Xuan's confidence, Wei Qiaohong said he couldn't understand it.

But Lin Xuan was so confident and determined that everything could be done, and he quickly worked out a large number of production line cooperation methods.

Lin Xuan's design drawing was the first draft, twenty years ahead of its time.

But the problem is that it is impossible for a car company to manufacture all parts by itself.

And all parts of the vehicle are world-leading.

This is unrealistic. Just building a factory would cost hundreds of billions of dollars.

Even if you squeeze CCB's belly clean, you won't be able to get so much money in a short time.

Therefore, after cooperating with Volkswagen, the Crimson 2040 second-generation experimental model is being conceived.

In addition to the core battery and battery management system consisting of

In addition to the kinetic energy system, other parts need to be newly integrated.

The purpose is to replace suitable parts from various Volkswagen factories.

You have to tell consumers that my steering wheel is 20 years ahead of the world.

Consumers' eyes turned dark and they couldn't understand.

If you tell consumers, the steering wheel of my 2040 is the same model as Lamborghini.

Consumers will understand immediately, it’s high-end!

In fact, such a replacement in 2040 will actually reduce the cost.

This is heavy industry. The world is indeed a village, and it is impossible to succeed behind closed doors.

Any finished product in a high-tech industry has parts and components from companies around the world.

Lin Xuan had no time, so he could only arrange for Hemeng Abreu to accompany Bart and Albert for three days around Haicheng.

When sending Albert to the plane, Lin Xuan arrived in person:

"Sorry, Albert, let's have a good drink next time."

Lin Xuan sent several bottles of 1799 Rheinhessen red wine to Albert.

Ordinary people can't take this thing with them on a plane.

However, Albert's private jet can use the excuse of purchasing drinks to take them on the plane through the purchase window.

Albert hugged Lin Xuan: "Haha, next time you go to Europe, I will be your host.

Marchanti: "Uncle Lin, can I play with Da Zhuang next time?"

Cat petting is the fatal weakness of human beings!

Lin Xuan smiled and bent down to touch Marchenti's head: "Okay, you can do it anytime."

After sending Albert away, Bart and the others were also leaving.

Bart and Wu Le are going to visit Jinling.

Lin Xuan arranged for Abreu to send them there.

After returning home, Lin Xuan felt that he was dying.

It's been a while since I've been busy with so many things.

For Crimson, I have tried my best.

Lying on the sofa, Wang Ruoya suddenly said: "Do you know why Bart took Wu Le into Aurous Hill?"

Lin Xuan shook his head: "Why?"

Wang Ruoya smiled ambiguously: "Because that boy Zhuang Tong is in Jinling now."

"Um."

"Huh?" Lin Xuan: "No, Zhuang Tong has always been in contact with Wu Le?"

Wang Ruoya: "I don't know, maybe the banker's new young lady will be Wu Le."

Lin Xuan and Zhuang Tong have been together for several days, and they know that Zhuang Tong is not a playboy.

However, the gap between the banker and the Bart family is still huge.

Will there be problems in the future?

Lin Xuan: "Who cares about them? Young people nowadays are really romantic."

Wang Ruoya: "When we go to the Maldives this time, will it be just the two of us?"

Lin Xuan glared at Wang Ruoya: "You don't want to bring a few light bulbs, do you?"

"Light bulb?" Wang Ruoya laughed loudly: "Aren't we going to buy an island? Why should I take people there?"

Lin Xuan: "We are going to have fun and buy an island by the way."

"This time, we will play for ten days and a half before we come back."

"Maybe we can play for more than a month."

Lin Xuan has already read the information sent by the other party.

The island is not small, but it is not big either.

But... the island will grow, and the island also has a birth date.

As long as these two conditions exist, can the system allow it to grow?

If possible, the reading should be very long, right?

Lin Xuan had already made plans.

Wang Ruoya thought for a while: "Then I will bring some materials so that I can do some designs there.

Although the agreed time is still four days away.

However, the Xuanya was parked at Velana International Airport.

This airport is located on Hulhu Island in the North Male Atoll, 2 kilometers northeast of Male in the north of the Maldives.

When the plane landed, the flight attendant was even more excited than Lin Xuan.

“Oh, I didn’t expect that the destination of my first voyage would be the Maldives, so I’ll post it on Moments first!”

"Haha, the boss must like traveling very much. Maybe every destination in the future will be a very suitable place for traveling."

He Meng packed his things: "A Ling, we will contact you in advance when the time comes. You will travel in the Maldives during this period, and the boss will reimburse you for your food, accommodation, and travel.

This time, Lin Xuan came out with He Meng.

Abreu just took a moment to familiarize himself with the situation on the Crimson side.

"Can I have a big meal?"

Faced with this (money is good) problem, Lin Xuan said cheerfully: "How much can you afford? There are eight of you in total. I will give you US$50,000 a day. That should be enough, right?"

Flight attendant A Ling smiled: "The boss is grand and powerful."

Lin Xuan wiped his sweat: "You said I am extremely rich and full of temperament."

The other flight attendants also laughed.

The consumption here is quite high, 50,000 US dollars is 300,000 US dollars, and the average person is 20,000 US dollars per day.

This kind of work is so exciting.

As soon as the friends of several girls were posted, they aroused strong envy and jealousy among their former colleagues.

This kind of benefit is two levels higher than that of previous airlines.

Lin Xuan found the contact person just after leaving the airport.

Lin Xuan asked He Meng to rent a small cruise ship here.

Jet lagged? On a cruise ship, of course.

During this trip, Lin Xuan had to travel by sea for four days, and they just happened to go to Maggie Island, a private island.

On the way, you will pass Feili Island, which is famous for its sandy beaches, and Manwol Island, which is famous for its diving activities.

Have fun all the way to your destination.

Just after boarding the cruise ship, He Meng and Wang Ruoya quickly went to visit.

Lin Xuan is a little... seasick!

I never thought I would get seasick. Why does it feel so different from being on a boat in the river?

This guy is still a cruise ship, parked in the port, and just wandering around?

Lin Xuan: "System, change my ship experience to one thousand years."

[Ding! Thirty-two minutes of ship experience has been changed to one thousand years of ship experience. 】

Thirty-two minutes? I guess it comes from playing on foot-powered boats when I was a kid?

With the experience of sailing, this dizziness quickly disappeared.

Lin Xuan then walked forward.

The captain of the cruise ship was waiting on the first deck and saw Lin Xuan hurriedly stepped forward: "Boss, I am Mark Tang, the captain of this cruise ship.

Lin Xuan looked at Mark Tang: "Are you mixed race?"

"My father is from Australia."

So that's it.

Lin Xuan: "I'm going to catch up on jet lag, and you guys can drive to Full Moon Island.

"Okay boss."

There is actually only a three-hour time difference between the Maldives and the Maldives.

No need to overdo it.

However, Wang Ruoya said that if you often travel around the world, no matter how short the time difference is, you must overcome the jet lag.

Otherwise, the biological clock will be disrupted.

Not to mention going abroad, many people sleep at different times from Monday to Friday and on weekends, so they will be very tired on Monday. .
