116: Chapter 116 New Energy Vehicle Strategy!

There was one week left until the Chinese New Year.

The new office building and employee dormitory for Fanmi were completed one after another.

To celebrate, Lei Jun specially prepared a completion ceremony, and the area in front of the building was decorated with lanterns and streamers.

Even Lin Wenwu, Zhou Guangming, and others, who were busy with work, took the time to rush to the scene, and quite a few Fanmi suppliers also arrived.

The open space in front of the building was packed with luxury cars, and many villagers from Qianjiang Village were watching, creating a lively scene.

In front of the building, the current head of the industrial park, Meng Ziang, had also specifically come to attend the completion ceremony and was chatting with Lei Jun.

"Department Head Meng, thank you for coming; your presence truly adds splendor to our completion ceremony!"

Lei Jun said sincerely with a smile on his face.

"At such an important moment, as the person in charge of the industrial park, I certainly had to come!"

Meng Ziang smiled and then continued, "Director Zheng happens to have an important meeting today and couldn't make it, so he specifically instructed me to convey his congratulations!"

"Director Zheng is very busy with official duties, so I understand. Please give my regards and express my gratitude to him on my behalf!"

Lei Jun said hurriedly.

"Alright, there's no need for such formalities between us. I will pass on your gratitude, but the main reason I came today is actually to talk to you about the future development of Fanmi's own industrial park!"

"Please go ahead, Department Head Meng, I am all ears!"

"You fellow, I already said not to be so formal. The industrial park will have to rely on Fanmi in the future, so we must not become strangers!"

"That goes without saying. Fanmi Technology was founded not long ago, and it has only reached where it is today thanks to the support of the country and Department Head Meng. I am truly grateful, without a shred of insincerity!"

Lei Jun said with a smile again, but his tone carried a hint of seriousness.

The fact that this building could be constructed was due to the land allocated through the industrial park's policy support, and he was truly grateful in his heart.

With ten years of free usage rights, he knew very well how much money this saved him.

He was even more aware that if Fanmi Technology wanted to go further, especially in the future when it would truly compete with foreign tech giants, national support would undoubtedly be the most solid backing.

"I understand your feelings!" Meng Ziang nodded and then continued:

"The higher-ups now attach great importance to the layout of the new energy sector. Although Fanmi makes mobile phones, you have accumulated experience in battery technology... Have you ever thought about developing into the new energy sector?"

"The new energy sector?" Lei Jun was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat surprised.

"That's right. I remember you have a partnership with BYD, right? They are currently going all out to set up their new energy vehicle strategy; perhaps you could cooperate further!"

"new energy vehicle..."

Hearing Meng Ziang's words, Lei Jun's expression became more serious, and he began to think rapidly.

Meng Ziang suddenly mentioning the new energy sector and specifically emphasizing BYD's layout for new energy vehicles was clearly not a whim; it must have deep meaning.

He did not know much about the new energy sector, but if it was a direction supported by national policy, it must represent the future trend.

Thinking of this, he gradually realized.

Perhaps, Hangzhou City also had a long-term planning layout in this field, which was why Meng Ziang mentioned this matter, and his heart suddenly tightened.

This was clearly an excellent opportunity!

But he also had hesitation in his heart. After all, Fanmi's main business was mobile phones, and it was facing great pressure, not just in terms of funds, but also many uncertainties in the future.

If they started to lay out the new energy industry now, it would inevitably require a lot of capital. Fanmi had already spread out its operations in the hardware ecosystem, so transforming was simply impossible.

And it was impossible to transform!

Once they invested in the new energy sector, the scope of their operations would become larger and larger, and he was a bit undecided about this matter.

"Department Head Meng, is what you mentioned... considered a political task?" Lei Jun asked tentatively.

"Of course not!" Meng Ziang smiled. "It's just casual chat. Of course, the specifics of how to proceed depend on your own development plans!"

"I understand. I will consider this matter carefully. Thank you for your guidance, Department Head Meng!"

"Why say such things? It's just a chat!"

Meng Ziang smiled.

Lei Jun also nodded with a smile.

They understood each other without speaking.

Not far away, Lin Wenwu looked at the fifteen-story building in front of him with some emotion.

"The building is built; we finally don't have to squeeze into that small office anymore. From now on, the entire 5-story building will be our territory!"

"Who says it isn't? However, after our Hardware R&D Department moves here, the time spent taking the elevator will be quite a bit longer. Accumulating a few minutes every day, over time, the wasted R&D time won't be short!"

Zhou Guangming also felt emotional, but his gaze towards Lin Wenwu couldn't help but carry a hint of teasing.

"You're doing this on purpose, right?" Lin Wenwu's face darkened as he looked at the fifteen-story building in front of him.

He turned his head to look at the 5-story building not far behind him, and thinking about what Lei Jun had said earlier, he suddenly felt a bit depressed and fell silent.

"It's fine, you can come visit often in the future, I will always welcome you!"

Zhou Guangming laughed with a chuckle.

"Get lost!"

The grand completion ceremony and the lively ribbon-cutting, yet Lin Wenwu kept a straight face the whole time.

The liveliness belonged to others and had nothing to do with him. He was already a Xinghai person, and thinking of this brought an inexplicable sadness...

Suddenly, he felt even more depressed!

...

After the completion ceremony ended, Lei Jun drove directly to the warehouse base.

"new energy vehicle?"

"That's right. Department Head Meng specifically mentioned this matter; he probably means he wants us to get into new energy vehicles. I'm a bit undecided about this!"

"What's there to be undecided about? Since the higher-ups have the policy, then let's do it!"

Listening to Lei Jun's account, Zhou Fan was lost in thought and said casually.

He knew very well that new energy vehicles were indeed the major trend of future development and a major national strategy for the next 10 or even 20 years.

From the perspective of the future, this layout was definitely far-reaching and would play a crucial role in the rise of China's high-end automobile manufacturing sector.

Not only that, but in his planning, Fanmi's future grand strategy of the Internet of Everything would inevitably involve new energy vehicles. Starting the layout now would be a good opportunity!

"But I'm not quite confident. The company only has 10 billion on its books right now, and I'm afraid that's not enough money!" Lei Jun smiled bitterly.

"Is car manufacturing very expensive?"

"I've looked into it briefly; it's going to require an investment of at least tens of billions..."

"Why think so much? Just try it and you'll know!" Zhou Fan smiled.

Lei Jun fell into deep thought, looking at Zhou Fan's calm and indifferent appearance, which was exactly the same as before they made mobile phones, calm yet full of confidence.

No objection meant agreement.

Hesitation leads to defeat!

Lei Jun's heart was set.

Then, he gritted his teeth.

"Alright, then let's do it!"

"Following the lead of the higher-ups can never be wrong!"

In fact, the greatest source of his confidence in making this decision was Zhou Fan, and he also believed in the cash-generating ability of the second-generation mobile phone!

Since that was the case, there was no need to hesitate.
