28: Chapter 28 Honest and Simple-minded Wang Xiuming

"How about it? Am I not a good brother to you? Don't worry, once you go, you can play for as long as you want!"

Wang Xiuming looked undeniably generous.

You really are a jerk!

Li Yuan cursed inwardly; he just wanted to leech off a rich guy.

But Wang Xiuming had pulled this move.

Even a donkey on a production team wouldn't be worked like this!

The main thing was that Li Yuan really didn't dare to take him up on that offer.

He trusted Wang Xiuming; as long as he dared to agree,

Wang Xiuming would be able to drag him onto a yacht the very next day.

"Brother, isn't that being a bit distant?"

"I know our company is short on funds right now, how could I let you spend money, right?"

Li Yuan put on an expression of 'I'm only doing this for you.'

Soon, he put on a serious face, "Tell me, what do you really want from me?"

At a time like this, Wang Xiuming wasn't busy with the rise of his Hongqi, but came to find him instead.

That definitely meant something had gone wrong.

The relationship between the two of them didn't need any beating around the bush.

"Right now, Hongqi is short on high-level talent, especially in the area of automotive design."

"I remember that back when we were at school abroad, quite a few industry elites came out of it!"

"How are your connections with them?"

Back then, Wang Xiuming and Li Yuan were at the same school.

It was truly a place full of hidden talents.

Many people were hired by major companies before they even graduated.

These were all highly sought-after talents by international companies.

Some even received job offers with annual salaries exceeding ten million.

Unfortunately, Wang Xiuming was focused solely on his studies back then and didn't pay attention to any of that.

Otherwise, he wouldn't need to ask Li Yuan now.

As far as Wang Xiuming knew, a significant portion of them had returned to the country to develop.

He didn't know how they were doing now, or if he could poach them.

"Hehe, Old Wang, you wouldn't happen to be looking to bring your college goddess over to be your secretary, would you?"

"As the saying goes, if there's work, the secretary does it; if there's no work..."

Li Yuan laughed with a lecherous expression.

Xu Jingyi.

The school belle of the Delin Automotive Engineering Aristocratic School back then.

You have to know, for a Xia person to receive such an honor at a foreign aristocratic school, it showed how much charisma she had.

Back then, Wang Xiuming was very shy and had secretly loved Xu Jingyi for four years.

He had also thought of various ways to get close to Xu Jingyi.

In the end, Wang Xiuming forced himself into being just good friends with her.

He didn't know how many times he had been called a 'hopeless straight guy' by Li Yuan back then!

There was no help for it; in this school, Wang Xiuming's family wealth was considered top-tier.

But he was just that breath of fresh air among those aristocrats.

He didn't show off his wealth, wasn't a playboy, and only had studies in his eyes.

For a long time, Li Yuan thought Wang Xiuming's family had fallen on hard times.

Later, whenever Li Yuan remembered how he would constantly make excuses to send this or that to this guy at school...

He would grind his teeth in anger.

Damn it, his family's net worth was at least in the tens or hundreds of billions.

And yet, he came here to sponge off him!

Even now, Li Yuan could remember Wang Xiuming's innocent expression when he found out about his true identity.

"Get lost, I'm serious. You know how scarce talent is at Hongqi Group right now."

"I really need this kind of talent right now, especially a leader who really has substance."

"In the country, basically no one is willing, so I set my sights on our classmates."

Then, Wang Xiuming told Li Yuan about Old Li going out to poach people with high salaries.

Li Yuan naturally understood Hongqi Group's awkward position in the Xia country.

They couldn't invite heavyweights, and they looked down on the others.

But according to Wang Xiuming's requirements, Xu Jingyi was actually a perfect fit!

"It's fortunate you asked me early, what a coincidence, right?"

"Huang Siping from our batch just returned to the country a few days ago. This guy, as soon as he came back, he contacted many of our former classmates, saying he wanted to host a banquet."

"I remember, he seemed to have specifically invited Xu Jingyi."

"You definitely have his invitation, go back and look for it carefully."

"We'll go over there and poach her directly!"

Li Yuan spoke slowly; obviously, this was the only way now.

This was also thanks to him throwing money around in school, squeezing into the circle of top Rich second generation.

So he was also a key person Huang Siping invited.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't have known about this.

As for Wang Xiuming?

He was, after all, the chairman of Hongqi Group, and Hongqi was different now, riding high.

He didn't believe Huang Siping could overlook Wang Xiuming.

If that didn't work, he would just shamelessly ask for another invitation.

"Good, we'll go together then."

Wang Xiuming hung up and thought for a moment.

It seemed like the only one who met the requirements now was Xu Jingyi.

How could he trick... no, attract this genius in?

This was really a bit difficult.

Although Wang Xiuming didn't know exactly what Xu Jingyi was doing now.

But he understood very well that this woman was able to get an invitation from Porsche during her university days and earn an annual salary of three million dollars.

Even if she had returned to the country, she wouldn't be doing any worse than before.

Salary?

Wang Xiuming shook his head; if it were for salary, Xu Jingyi wouldn't have returned to the country.

As a highly talented designer, her requirements for that stuff weren't really high.

Wang Xiuming thought and thought, his fingers scrolling through the computer.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

He had a way!

As a designer, what is the biggest dream?

Of course, it's unconstrained, imaginative vehicle design!

However, the larger the car company, the more similar the vehicles in each of their model series will be!

This is an extremely important law!

Even if every new car has differences in details and accessories, the general vehicle model won't change.

This means they will be restricted!

And this is precisely Hongqi's advantage!

Wang Xiuming would love for the designer to design completely different cars!

What design philosophy, what model series.

Wang Xiuming didn't care about these at all.

What he needed to ensure was that the appearance and accessories had enough appeal!

In other words, what Wang Xiuming could provide, other car companies couldn't!

Wang Xiuming calmed down; this was definitely a big enough attraction.

"Now, it's also time to design the next vehicle model."

Although Wang Xiuming wasn't a professional, in his past life, as an auto mechanic, he had repaired many luxury cars.

Among them, there were many cars that simply didn't exist now!

Relying on his limited knowledge, he could at least draw a draft.

The rest, of course, had to be handed over to Hongqi's designers.

Otherwise, what did he need them for?

Now, the first thing to determine is whether Hongqi's next car will take the high-end route or the low-end route.

Regardless of high or low, Wang Xiuming had already initially opened up the market.

In the end, he decided on a low-end car.

Because, entry-level Power System!
