Yu Xiaoman pushed the bank card over again, "Take it, this money is nothing compared to what you have to do."
"Sister, I don't have much ability, that's all I can help you with."
Sophie said no more, but solemnly took the bank card from Yu Xiaoman's hand, "Sister Xiaoman, I will make you a promise. In half a year, I will double this money tenfold!"
Yu Xiaoman's face was filled with longing, "Although I can't do it myself, it's worth it to be able to accompany you Sophie to the top of the mountain step by step!"
After the words fell, the two women high-fived each other.
There is no contract or written commitment.
A high five, and within half a year, the investment will be doubled tenfold. This is Sophie’s promise!
Once the funding issue is resolved, all that's left is to negotiate the details.
Yu Xiaoman first talked about the information he had.
After listening to this, Sophie couldn't help but feel that Yu Xiaoman was really a talented artist and bold!
The new energy vehicle company that Yu Xiaoman contacted is currently a new force in domestic car manufacturing and has just entered the industry not long ago.
We just received venture capital some time ago, 5 billion in foreign currency.
At present, we have only set up a research and development center. We have been recruiting a lot of people some time ago, with a high tone, and we have also attracted a lot of talents in the automotive field.
When it was first established, there was a wave of hot searches, and then it went silent.
Now half a year has passed, except for a few engineering test vehicles placed in the R&D center, not even a production-ready actual vehicle has been produced.
In other words, this manufacturer has not yet finalized its production line except for its R&D center.
But for such a new car-making force, Yu Xiaoman really dares to bet!
Moreover, it was a huge gamble. Not only did he give up the Mercedes-Benz brand and operating rights that he had previously operated, he even sold off all his real estate and assets!
Sophie knew that Yu Xiaoman was not a reckless person.
Besides, since she can accumulate 80 million yuan in wealth in a few years.
Although this is inseparable from Yu Xiaoman's father's connections, it is also certain that Yu Xiaoman is not a fool!
So there must be something unusual about this matter!
Sure enough, Yu Xiaoman laughed and said, "I knew I couldn't hide anything from you!"
"The founder of this car brand is a child of my uncle's family, and he was a colleague of my father."
"We have known each other since we were children. He has been fond of cars since he was a child, and he is obsessed with them."
"Later, after everyone became adults, we didn't keep in touch much."
"A few months ago, he suddenly found me and said that he had attracted venture capital and was preparing to create a car brand."
"He has a technical background, and he also majored in new energy technology while abroad."
"When he returned to China this time, he not only brought investment, but also brought the most advanced new energy batteries in the world."
"I don't understand the very professional words, but according to what he said, if this technology can be successfully applied in the automotive field? It will make his brand the biggest dark horse in the automotive industry!"
"He wants to recruit me to join him and set up the first direct-operated store in Tianzhou!"
“When the brand’s mass-produced cars officially roll off the production line, I will be the first to try it!”
"How about it?"
Sophie nodded, "The risks are great, but the opportunities are also great!"
Sophie knows better than anyone the risks behind this matter and what kind of dividends it will bring!
This is also during the brand's start-up period. Otherwise, with her and Yu Xiaoman's 80 million capital, would they like to get a brand's first flagship store?
It's simply impossible!
Fuel vehicles have been developed and operated for so many years, and the benefits have already been divided among major dealers!
Enter now and you’ll be lucky to get a bowl of leftovers!
Only new energy vehicles can allow them to catch up with this east wind!
Therefore, after listening to Yu Xiaoman's explanation, Sophie was not only not worried at all, but also felt faintly excited!
At that moment, Sophie stopped talking nonsense and pulled Yu Xiaoman to ask about the details.
According to Yu Xiaoman's explanation, the R&D center of this brand is located in Tianzhou!
Moreover, the research and development of automobiles has entered a critical stage, and the first engineering vehicle is even being tested.
If it succeeds, we can use this engineering vehicle as a mold to build the first mass-produced vehicle!
As for more things, Yu Xiaoman did not explain more.
On the one hand, Yu Xiaoman didn’t understand, on the other hand, it involved commercial secrets, and the other party didn’t tell Yu Xiaoman more!
But no matter which one, one thing is for sure.
If she wants to take over this matter, Sophie must meet the boy mentioned in Yu Xiaoman's mouth!
While chatting, Sophie heard something different, "Wait a minute, Sister Xiaoman, there's something I don't quite understand."
"Although this brand is a start-up, there is currently no follow-up action."
"But since your little guy has so much energy and ability, it shouldn't be difficult to attract a dealer."
"There are so many courageous and knowledgeable people in China. I don't believe that he can't find anyone with better capabilities to be this dealer!"
"Why would he give this opportunity to you?"
Yu Xiaoman explained, “What else could be the reason?”
"Am I capable? I have worked for Mercedes-Benz for so many years, and I have industry experience, sales experience, brand management and maintenance, and I know these things well!"
"Besides, his engineering vehicle is just a half-baked product."
"Who else believes in him except me?"
From Yu Xiaoman's tone, Sophie gradually heard something was wrong, "You two..."
Sure enough, Yu Xiaoman's face changed slightly, and his expression became a little unnatural, "Sophie, why are you so interested in these things?"
Sophie hit the nail on the head: "Let me guess right?"
Yu Xiaoman explained helplessly, "They are childhood sweethearts. His father worked in Tianzhou for a while when he was a child."
"My dad was also busy with work at that time, so he would follow me around all day long."
"Later, at a banquet table, two old men got drunk and arranged a baby wedding for us."
"It's just that no one took this matter to heart. Later, his father's job was transferred and he left Tianzhou, so no one mentioned it again."
Sophie asked again, "Then you..."
Yu Xiaoman smiled bitterly, "What am I?"
"How could I like that kind of little brat? He used to cry a lot when he was a child. He was often bullied and cried by me, and he followed me around calling me sister all day long."
"And he wore thick glasses for myopia when he was a child. As you know, I don't like nerds."
"So, he is one of my younger brothers!"
"Now that this brat has some skills, he will think of me as his sister when something good happens. It's that simple!"
Although Yu Xiaoman said it easily, Sophie felt that there must be something more to this matter.
It's just that these are Yu Xiaoman's private matters after all, and Sophie has no intention of getting to the bottom of it.
Also, there is no telling whether this matter can be accomplished.
The most important thing at the moment is to have formal contact with the brand first.
Only when both parties reach an agreement can subsequent work proceed.
If the two parties don't get along, or if they can't negotiate a cooperation, everything will be just a mirror in the mirror!
Thinking of this, Sophie asked: "Sister Xiaoman, can we arrange a meeting?"
