This director is vindictive.

Chapter 130: Building a car? Are you kidding me!

"You'd better call each other before you come next time, and don't all gather together at once. Otherwise, it will become a hot topic." Chen Mo said helplessly at first.

Fan Binbin, however, said disapprovingly, "Isn't that a good thing? It's also a promotion for your play and ours."

"I suddenly have an idea. Well, to be exact, it is related to you guys. Of course, whether you are willing or not depends on you." After hearing what Fan Binbin said, Chen Mo did not continue the topic, but changed the subject.

"What's the idea?" Yang Mi asked immediately.

Chen Mo's original idea was to have the five of them endorse the mobile phones of Dami Technology together. Yes, since the topic of "the battle for male gods" is now a hot topic in the outside world, he might as well give them an endorsement of Dami Technology as a gift.

And he was not worried at all whether Lei Jun would agree or not, because with this matter and this popularity, if he could get these five golden flowers to endorse it together at once, combined with the current topics, it would definitely be a win-win cooperation.

But when the words came to his lips, Chen Mo suddenly stopped.

Because another idea came to mind.

However, this idea made him hesitate, mainly because this idea was a bit exaggerated. If it could be realized, it would naturally be much better than the previous idea, or even a small one compared to the big one.

But there are some problems with his idea.

This problem is not something he can solve by himself at the moment. It is mainly due to some technical issues and he is completely clueless.

"Let me think about it, let me think about it!" Chen Mo suddenly fell silent, and when he spoke, he looked as if he was in a trance.

The five girls looked at each other in bewilderment.

The rich young woman looked at Chen Mo with a worried look on her face, especially when she saw Chen Mo frowning and shaking his head from time to time, she couldn't help but reach out to help Chen Mo press his head.

The other four were also worried by Chen Mo's sudden change.

However, as if he had thought of something, Fan Binbin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Chen Mo with shock and a hint of expectation.

Zhao Liying and Yang Mi looked at each other, as if they had thought of something, and both of them had the same reaction as Fan Binbin.

Only Gao Yuanyuan suddenly felt as if she was really an outsider here. She didn't quite understand what the other three were thinking and why their expressions and eyes suddenly became so strange.

This is also because Gao Yuanyuan has little contact with Chen Mo, so she is not clear about some of Chen Mo's habits. People like Zhao Liying have more contact with Chen Mo and have a closer relationship with him, so they know that Chen Mo has this habit, that is, when he thinks of some inspiration, he will have this kind of daydreaming or distracted state.

And every time Chen Mo shows this habit, it means that the ideas he is thinking of are definitely worth looking forward to.

Chen Mo did come up with an idea that could take advantage of this opportunity to get some benefits for the five of them while also promoting his own movie.

Actually, it is somewhat similar to the previous advertisement for Xiaomi mobile phone. The only difference is that this time Chen Mo wants to go a little bigger. Of course, he doesn't know whether it will succeed or not.

"You guys go back first. I need to think about this matter carefully and meet some people. If it works, I will notify you then." Chen Mo finally did not say his idea directly, because at this stage he did not know whether it would work or not.

Although they were all very curious about what Chen Mo was thinking and what golden ideas he had come up with, they all tacitly agreed not to ask. After all, if Chen Mo wanted to say it, he would have said it long ago.

On the contrary, Jing Tian said seriously: "Chen Mo, don't be like this all the time. Frowning too much will easily cause wrinkles."

Hearing the little rich woman's words, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile and scratched her nose and said, "I know, little housekeeper!"

The result was that the rich young woman started to pout.

When Fan Binbin and others heard Jing Tian's words, they couldn't help but sigh for a moment. Perhaps it was because Jing Tian's heart was full of Chen Mo that Chen Mo treated her so differently.

Each of them has some utilitarianism in mind, but Jing Tian is the only one who doesn't.

After sending away the five golden flowers, Chen Mo contacted Lei Jun immediately.

"Mr. Wang from BYD? Why do you suddenly mention him?" Lei Jun was a little confused when he heard Chen Mo asking if he knew Wang Chuanfu from BYD.

"Do you have any good ideas? Director Chen, this is not very kind of you. You are more or less a shareholder of Dami Technology now. If you have a good idea, can't you think about our Dami Technology first?" Lei Jun seemed to have thought of it all of a sudden, and said with a bit of jealousy.

Chen Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. He said directly, "I do want to, but can our Dami Technology build cars?"

"Huh? Build a car? You want to build a car? Are you kidding me?" Lei Jun was dumbfounded at first. Build a car? Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Even Dami Technology can't make that thing now, and you, a director, actually have the crazy idea of ​​building a car.

"Just tell me whether Dami Technology can build cars!" Chen Mo said disapprovingly. He had also thought about it. You see, even Lei Jun thought it was impossible, so he had to give it a try.

"No! Okay, I'll call Lao Wang and ask him to come out and meet me. I want to see what you, Director Chen, can do this time!" Although Lei Jun didn't believe it a hundred times, he was equally curious in his heart.

After all, Chen Mo has indeed created many miracles and many incredible things, so he is still very curious.

"Thank you, Mr. Lei." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Lei Jun's curiosity got the better of him, and he became more and more curious about Chen Mo's idea of ​​"building cars". He especially wanted to know how Chen Mo was going to do it.

So after hanging up the phone, the first thing he did was call Wang Chuanfu.

Lei Jun's connections in the technology circle are not comparable to Chen Mo's.

"Mr. Lei? Are you kidding me? I admit that Director Chen is very good. I have also seen the commercial. His ideas are indeed fantastic. But making cars? Are you kidding me?" Lao Wang felt that it was ridiculous and outrageous.

Building cars? Do you want to listen to what you are talking about?
The key is, who is Chen Mo? Is he a good director?
Do you really think that making cars is the same as making movies? Even BYD only started after years of accumulation.

"Although I also think it's impossible, Director Chen does often have ideas that are different from ordinary people, and Mr. Wang, aren't you curious?" Lei Jun didn't find Lao Wang's reaction strange at all.

"Okay, I really want to meet this popular talent." Wang Chuanfu said.

Soon, Chen Mo received a call from Lei Jun and set a meeting time.

The next day, Chen Mo met up with Lei Jun and went to Shenzhen to find Wang Chuanfu.

As soon as they met, Lei Jun asked curiously, "What exactly are you thinking? Why did you suddenly think of building a car? That thing is not that easy to make. Although Dami Technology also has the idea of ​​building cars in the future, it is just an idea."

"I'll keep you in suspense for now. Actually, it's not quite right to say that I'm building a car. I just have an idea and want to give it a try. I need to meet Mr. Wang to know whether it will work or not." Chen Mo also did not express his thoughts.

Although Lei Jun really wanted to know, he knew that there was no need to rush.

Of course, I became even more curious.

Because he could see that Chen Mo was not joking, otherwise he would not have asked him to introduce Wang Chuanfu.

The place agreed with Wang Chuanfu was in a teahouse near BYD headquarters.

"Mr. Wang, please excuse me for disturbing you." Chen Mo said hurriedly when he saw Wang Chuanfu.

"Hahaha, Director Chen, you are too polite. In fact, I have always wanted to meet you, this genius director. The commercial you shot for Dami Technology is really impressive!" Wang Chuanfu seemed particularly enthusiastic when he saw Chen Mo.

In fact, if Chen Mo was just a simple film director, he would not be so enthusiastic, and might even be too lazy to meet him.

But Chen Mo is not just a film director. Although the commercial of Dami Technology is just a commercial in the eyes of outsiders, people in the industry, especially people like Wang Chuanfu, are well aware of the value of that commercial.

It can also be said that Chen Mo is, to some extent, half a member of the technology circle.

"Okay, stop being polite. I've been curious all this time. Director Chen, can you reveal the answer now?" Lei Jun couldn't help but say. Wang Chuanfu also looked at Chen Mo curiously: "I heard from Mr. Lei that you want to build a car?"

Chen Mo couldn't help but smile and said, "What Mr. Lei said is a little inaccurate. I don't build cars. I'm just a director."

"Of course, you can say you want to build a car, but I'm a layman, so I know nothing about the current car-building technology. That's why I came to Mr. Wang specifically to ask for advice." Chen Mo continued.

"Oh? It seems to be true. Director Chen, please tell me, I will tell you everything I know." Wang Chuanfu also became interested after hearing this.

Chen Mo suddenly asked, "Mr. Wang, I'd like to know how long it would take BYD to design and mass-produce an electric car?"

When they heard Chen Mo's question, both Lei Jun and Wang Chuanfu were stunned.

The main problem is that Chen Mo’s question is a bit unprofessional, or a bit outrageous. Do you really want to build a car?
"It's hard to say. First of all, in terms of design, if there is a very complete design idea, then it's not difficult to say. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time just to design a car model. As for mass production, it's even harder to say. If it's fast, it may take a few months. If it's slow, several years is normal." Although he was a little confused about Chen Mo's question and felt it was unreliable, he still answered.

What he didn't say was that these days, the requirements for testing are not that high, otherwise it would take even longer.

Chen Mo was silent for a moment, then took out a stack of manuscripts he had brought with him.

Then put it on the table.

Both Lei Jun and Wang Chuanfu looked at it with some curiosity.

However, the next moment, both of their expressions became a little strange.

"This is a toy car?" Lei Jun's first reaction was "Are you kidding me?"

But Wang Chuanfu had a completely different reaction. He stared at the design drawings that Chen Mo took out.

Although it was not professional and was more of an exterior design with no size markings, as a car manufacturing professional, he grasped the key points right away.

He didn't think at all like Lei Jun did that what Chen Mo took out was a toy car or something.

Although it does look like an enlarged version of the toy car we played with as children.

"Director Chen, please tell me in detail!" Wang Chuanfu shook the manuscript in his hand and looked at Chen Mo expectantly.

"Actually, Mr. Lei was right when he said this was a toy car. The thing is, I'm filming "Charlotte's Troubles". This drama tells the story of the male protagonist who is reborn from the future and returns to the past. So naturally I need to think about what the cars people will drive in the future will look like? Just like the previous Dami Technology mobile phones, I don't understand the other things, but I think if there is such an enlarged toy car that can be driven on the road, I think that should be the childhood dream of many men, right?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

Lei Jun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes changed when he looked at Chen Mo. If he thought that Chen Mo's joke was a bit too much before, now he was also thinking about what Chen Mo said.

"Yes, which man didn't play with a few toy cars when he was a child? Enlarging the toy cars and driving them on the road is really a childhood dream!" Lei Jun said with emotion.

"Yes, this idea is really great, Director Chen, tell me what you think?" Wang Chuanfu keenly realized the value of Chen Mo's idea.

Just like he said, this is an enlarged version of a toy car, but it is a toy car that can be driven on the road. For a man, having such a car is a childhood dream!

"Here's what I think. For this kind of car, the battery life doesn't need to be too high. It only needs to meet daily needs, such as family grocery shopping, short trips, picking up children, etc. There is no need to consider the interior too much. Moreover, the traffic in the city is very congested now. This kind of micro car will be more convenient for travel. The most important point is that I think that even if this kind of car is produced, the price can definitely be reduced to the lowest level at this stage, right?" Chen Mo repeated what he thought.

The more Wang Chuanfu and Lei Jun listened, the more astonished they became.

This thing is not about how awesome the creativity is, but it is like a window paper. Even if no one pokes it, it is there. The key is for someone to poke through this window paper.

The key point is, thinking about the advantages mentioned by Chen Mo, it can be said that this is no longer a toy car or a man’s childhood dream.

Instead, it has a very broad market, and to some extent it can even fill the gap in the market.

The key point is that the manufacturing cost of this large toy car is indeed very low, with extreme cost-effectiveness and practicality. They don’t even need to do any research to know that if this car is really mass-produced and put on the market, it will definitely be sought after.

In fact, the mobile phones of Lei Jun’s Rice Technology also focused on cost-effectiveness and practicality at the beginning.

To some extent, they have the same purpose.

But Wang Chuanfu was even more excited. In fact, if you ask whether this kind of car can make money or not, there is really not much profit to be made. After all, its main feature is the ultimate cost-effectiveness.

At this stage, the future "environmental protection points" system has not yet been introduced.

So it’s really hard to say whether it will be profitable, but for Wang Chuanfu, it’s not the case at all.

Why did Chen Mo choose BYD? Because if BYD could make this car, then they could completely complete the entire industry chain production in-house.

Costs can be reduced to a minimum, so profitability is still possible, and as long as production and sales go up, it will not just be a matter of profitability.

There are also many invisible benefits.

There is also a crucial point. If Chen Mo had the crazy idea of ​​building a mainstream car model, it would really be just a joke, but this "toy car" is really not a joke.

Because what Wang Chuanfu said before about how long it would take for mass production is really not applicable to this car.

Because this type of car will definitely not be fast and the requirements are also the lowest. With BYD's current technology, it can be said that there is really no difficulty at all.

"Director Chen, you are the one! There are not many people I, Wang, admire, and you are definitely one of them!" Wang Chuanfu suddenly gave a thumbs up.

"Mr. Wang, is it possible?" Although the popularity of Wuling Hongguang MINI in the previous life has proved that there is a market for this type of micro car, this is after all several years in advance.

Chen Mo was quite happy to be recognized by Wang Chuanfu, an expert in car manufacturing.

"Of course it can be done. It can be done very well. Moreover, this car has a clear design direction and no technical problems. Although mass production will take time, if we really do it, it will be no problem in a few months," said Wang Chuanfu.

"That's great." Chen Mo also became a little excited.

It is said that a car is a man’s second wife, and who hasn’t dreamed of building a car? Especially for men.

Being able to realize your childhood dream of driving your toy car on the road is something you can brag about for the rest of your life.

"Director Chen, are you interested in taking a position at BYD?" Wang Chuanfu suddenly spoke again.

Before Chen Mo could respond, Lei Bus immediately became dissatisfied.

"No, Mr. Wang, is it appropriate for you to poach my employees in front of me?" Lei Jun said with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Mr. Lei, your vision is too narrow. You make mobile phones and I make cars. We don't interfere with each other. We at BYD are also eager to recruit talents like Director Chen!" Wang Chuanfu said disapprovingly.

"And it's just a temporary position. What do you think, Director Chen? Would you consider it? Like Dami Technology, how about being a consultant?" Wang Chuanfu said and looked at Chen Mo.

"Forget it. I'm just an amateur and my main job is making movies." Chen Mo shook his head and refused.

Wang Chuanfu said unwillingly, "It's just a temporary position. If you have any ideas about this matter, you can tell me. If not, it doesn't matter. Besides, if this car is to be launched, won't Director Chen also need to promote the movie? It's perfect. Joining BYD can form a synergy with my previous position at Dami Technology."

Wang Chuanfu's words made Chen Mo stunned for a moment. If it was based on this consideration, it would not be impossible.

Just putting up a name, without having to do anything, and you can also promote it at the same time, it seems, maybe, there is nothing wrong with it?
