Chapter 311 - 115: Victory Communication, Antu Auto (3)

She had to admit, with Yang Guoxiang’s ability to get things done, if he weren’t Xia Zhi’s boss, she would have been tempted to poach him as her assistant.

’He’d be a perfect fit.’

Normally, for a collaboration like this, she could just have Sheng Mingyue handle it. There was no need for her to get involved personally.

Just as she was musing to herself, a friend request popped up.

She tapped to accept and sent a message: "Is this President Wang from Antu?"

Wang Shaohui: "Hello, President Jiang. I’m Wang Shaohui."

Seeing that Li Sheng was still busy examining the chip, Jiang Li stood up and said to Xu Shijie, "Wait here for a moment. I’m going to step out to make a call."

The moment she was out of the office, she placed a voice call to Wang Shaohui.

As soon as he answered, she got straight to the point. "President Wang, I might have a rather forward question for you."

Wang Shaohui was a bit taken aback. "Ah, go ahead."

"Have you considered developing new energy vehicles?"

Before making the call, she had searched online and found that Antu hadn’t released any new energy vehicles; they had always sold gasoline-powered cars.

Wang Shaohui sighed. "It’s not that I don’t want to, but we just don’t have the capability."

After all, this was the era of new energy. New car models were emerging one after another, and gasoline cars didn’t sell as well as they used to.

"We’d either have to buy the technology from overseas or from our competitors. But that drives the costs up so high we can’t make any real profit."

"What if I told you I have a new energy battery with a range of 2,000 kilometers? Would you be willing to..."

Before Jiang Li could finish, Wang Shaohui immediately cut in, "President Jiang, just state your terms! We’ll agree to anything as long as you let us develop vehicles with this new energy battery."

’Are you kidding me?’ he thought. ’A new energy battery with a 2,000-kilometer range? If other car companies found out about this, they’d be fighting like mad for it.’

Besides, Yang Guoxiang had already told him that Jiang Li wanted to create a National Goods Supermarket. As a domestic car manufacturer, he naturally had to pick a side.

Wang Shaohui’s response pleased Jiang Li greatly. He was ambitious, and he had guts.

She smiled. "I believe Uncle Yang already told you when he contacted you that I want to create a National Goods Supermarket. I don’t have any other demands, just one condition: the cars produced must be sold exclusively through my National Goods Supermarket."

The tension in Wang Shaohui’s chest eased. "That’s absolutely no problem."

After all, they sold their cars through dealerships and had to give them a commission.

Now, Jiang Li was offering him a platform. It was the best possible outcome.

Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction. "Alright. I’ll have my assistant send the materials over later. We can sign a contract then."

’Actually, once the phones and cars are sorted out, the rest is pretty simple.’

’I’ll source vegetables and fruits directly from farmers. Not only will it help them sell their produce, but the public will also get food they can trust.’

’Absolutely natural and pollution-free.’

’As for everything else, I’ll definitely have my assistants handle it.’

’If I, the boss, had to do everything myself, what would be the point of spending so much money on them?’

After chatting with Wang Shaohui for a little longer, she pushed open the door and returned to the office.

Li Sheng had just finished his examination and was buzzing with excitement.

He was dying to ask Jiang Li where she had gotten this chip, but he knew it wouldn’t be appropriate. In the end, he removed the USB drive and asked with a look of anticipation, "President Jiang, what kind of partnership did you have in mind?"

Jiang Li stated calmly, "I want to open a National Goods Supermarket. This phone will have to be sold exclusively in my supermarket."

Li Sheng immediately declared, "Done! No problem!"

’It’s just a matter of the sales channel,’ he thought. ’Not a big deal at all.’

Jiang Li shot Xu Shijie a look, and as if by magic, Xu Shijie produced two copies of a contract.

Jiang Li took them and handed one to Li Sheng. "Here’s the contract I prepared. You can take a look."

The two contracts had been printed on the way over, just for convenience.

Li Sheng read the contract carefully, then signed his name without hesitation. He extended his hand. "President Jiang, here’s to our new phone being a massive success."

Jiang Li was amused by his forwardness, but more than that, she was pleased.

’This is the kind of confidence I like to see.’

She had no patience for people who undermined their own side while hyping up the competition.

Noting that it was lunchtime, Li Sheng suggested, "President Jiang, why don’t we grab some lunch together and discuss the design for this new phone?"
