391: Carrot Run Down No One Rents Landing

As soon as these words were spoken, the several General Managers present looked at each other.

"General Manager Ren Yi... really doesn't want to suffer any loss!"

"Wuling also uses this method; it's said that all the General Managers collectively forced SAIC General Motors, the parent company, to give them 10% of the shares. That's really bold."

"What's the big deal? Wuling was half-dead before, and its stock wasn't worth much. If it were me, I'd give it too. Now it's selling like crazy, and its market value has increased several times over. In the end, SAIC still profited..."

"SAIC has that group of old-fashioned General Managers who worship foreign things. They'd rather lower their souls to a foreign father than cooperate with domestic brands. It's truly unfair to Fenglei."

"There's always a give and take. If Fenglei controls Wuling's decision-making power, who knows, maybe one day they'll spin it off from SAIC!"

One by one, they all felt a bit indignant.

And they all started to get tangled up again.

On one hand, cooperating with Fenglei was truly a win-win.

On the other hand, they felt like they were being tied to a pirate ship, fearing that they would become overly reliant on Fenglei and lose their autonomy, which would be difficult to deal with.

On the other side.

General Managers from several other car companies also called Ren Yi.

Their purpose was very clear: they were all after the new battery technology.

Ren Yi used the same rhetoric.

As for whether the other party would agree, he didn't force it; some would surely be willing, and some wouldn't.

After all, not everyone is willing to hand over their "soul" to someone else.

Cooperation is about mutual consent; in any case, Fenglei will certainly hold the initiative.

After handling these matters, Ren Yi had a rare moment of leisure and began to admire the Balenciaga that Lin Muwan had just bought, secretly swallowing his saliva.

Just as he was about to make a further move, Zhang Kangyang pushed the door open and walked in.

"General Manager Ren Yi, Radish Run sent an email saying that their latest generation of autonomous taxis has been fully deployed, and they want to discuss the specific plan with us now."

Previously, Radish Run had purchased an ADS autonomous driving license from Fenglei.

The conditions and standards Fenglei set were to follow Fenglei's standards, meaning they had to achieve revenue and provide employment opportunities for drivers.

Ren Yi just didn't expect Radish Run to complete its deployment so quickly.

Zhang Kangyang continued:

"General Manager Ren Yi, Radish Run even established a new company specifically for this. The production standards for this autonomous taxi strictly follow our standards."

"Now, the new batch of engineering vehicles has been deployed, and they're just waiting for our internal algorithms to be deeply integrated. Also, they want your opinion on what other improvements this autonomous taxi needs."

Originally, Fenglei only provided the algorithms and servers, and later they would just share the profits. How the company operated was their business.

But the General Managers at Radish Run were also smart people.

Who understands autonomous driving technology better than Fenglei right now?

And the deployment of autonomous taxis is a highly sensitive social topic, bearing immense pressure.

Not to mention anything else.

Even though Fenglei's technology is the best in the world.

But if there's an accident or a mishap, it will definitely affect Radish Run's stock price and the prospects of autonomous taxis.

If they can have a perfect start, that would certainly be the best.

And at this time, the opinions of professionals become very important.

So now, the entire Radish Run company is waiting for Fenglei to make the final decision on the autonomous taxi's ultimate plan.

...

Radish Run Headquarters.

Chairman Chairman Wang Tao and a group of high-level shareholders were waiting for everyone to arrive.

This was a seminar on the autonomous taxi project.

It was the final discussion and planning before the project's deployment.

Among them, not only did Radish Run's General Managers participate, but also several other internet partners who had invested.

Such a large project, and the first autonomous taxi project in the country, naturally received a lot of attention.

Projects with a wider audience often indicate broader market prospects.

So there were also many representatives from other participating companies present.

You could even see a few familiar faces who are active on the internet year-round.

However, Chairman Wang Tao of Radish Run was eagerly awaiting the arrival of a key figure.

Now, most of the shareholders from other companies had arrived.

Only the most important partner for this project, the Fenglei representative who leads the core autonomous driving algorithms, had not yet appeared.

Half an hour passed.

Just as Chairman Wang Tao was getting anxious,

He saw a group of people wearing Fenglei logos enter the conference room door.

At the forefront, surrounded by others, was Ren Yi himself.

Seeing Ren Yi appear, many people in the room immediately couldn't sit still.

No one dared to underestimate this promising young man, as rumored.

Chairman Wang Tao immediately put on a brilliant smile, stood up, and quickly went to greet him, personally escorting Ren Yi to his seat.

His expression was very fawning.

But no one in the room mocked Chairman Wang Tao; instead, they wished it were themselves.

Being able to connect with such a young and promising entrepreneur would definitely bring many benefits.

"General Manager Ren Yi, welcome!"

"It's great that you could take the time to come for the final decision-making on our major autonomous taxi project. There are several important decisions waiting for your nod."

Although he was more than ten years older than Ren Yi, Chairman Wang Tao showed no airs of an elder.

Ren Yi smiled slightly:

"General Manager Chairman Wang Tao, you flatter me. We at Fenglei are just technology providers. The specific operations and profits are still for you, General Manager Chairman Wang Tao, to decide."

"If there are any technical issues, our professional team at Fenglei will be happy to help solve them."

Currently, Fenglei's collaborations with other companies are mostly handled by the company's internal team; Ren Yi only appears on particularly important occasions.

After all, there are too many partners, and if he had to handle every small project, he would be exhausted to death.

Chairman Wang Tao said, flattered:

"General Manager Ren Yi, what are you saying? The reason this project could be deployed is entirely due to Fenglei's technology as a support. It should naturally be led by Fenglei."

"Furthermore, in the field of autonomous driving, who here can compare with Fenglei? We still have many technical issues that we need to consult you, General Manager Ren Yi, about."

Ren Yi asked:

"General Manager Chairman Wang Tao, what technical problems have you encountered?"

As he expected, Chairman Wang Tao immediately brought up a current challenge:

"Now, for the autonomous taxi, after its real-vehicle deployment, we've internally tested it for over a month, and its performance is very stable. It can handle over 95% of complex road conditions. The remaining 5% are mostly caused by human factors..."

Currently, Fenglei's autonomous driving algorithm is intelligent enough, but the 5% of unexpected situations still give him a huge headache.

This is because autonomous taxis using autonomous driving algorithms will definitely follow traffic rules and road regulations 100%.

The remaining 5%, however, are problems caused by drivers and pedestrians who do not follow traffic rules.
