Chapter 682: Collaboration with the Automotive Industry: Tailoring Transformers for Domestic Brands
"Boss Su, we have an important guest. Boss Zhao from Huawei is here..."
Su Yang's secretary walked in and whispered to Su Yang.
"Please come in quickly..."
Su Yang stood up and walked towards the door.
"Boss Su, long time no see..."
Zhao Ming walked in, followed by someone. When he saw Su Yang, he quickly extended his hand. He and Su Yang had met many times.
Su Yang is Huawei's global spokesperson. The high price paid to acquire Su Yang initially proved to be the wisest decision. Although Su Yang's endorsement fee has been increasing year by year, his influence is indeed enormous. Since Su Yang became the spokesperson for Huawei, Huawei has been increasingly successful in its high-end market, especially in China.
"Mr. Zhao, long time no see, this is..."
Su Yang said with a smile, then looked at the person behind Zhao Ming and asked curiously.
"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Liu Fengyu from BYD. He's in charge of BYD's high-end brands. We're here to ask for a favor."
Zhao Ming's expression was very serious.
"Hello, Mr. Liu..."
"Hello, Mr. Su..."
After introducing themselves to each other, Su Yang invited them to sit down and personally made tea. The secretary had already tactfully left the meeting room, leaving only the three of them in the room.
"Boss Su, we are here today to seek cooperation."
Zhao Ming said seriously, Su Yang looked up at Zhao Ming curiously. He knew that the cooperation Zhao Ming mentioned was definitely not as simple as shooting an advertisement.
"Here's the thing. Huawei has grown rapidly in recent years. We now hold the largest global market share. We've received reliable information that a certain country is shamelessly preparing to sanction us under false pretenses..."
Zhao Ming's words made Su Yang's expression serious. In fact, Su Yang had long known that Huawei would face such a day sooner or later. Su Yang had already witnessed and experienced the shameless behavior of a certain country.
“What will be the outcome?”
Su Yang asked directly.
"We can survive, but not well. We will suffer heavy losses, but they won't kill us. We need time, and we need the rise of China's semiconductor industry chain before we can rise again..."
Su Yang nodded at Zhao Ming's words. He was well aware of many things, and ordinary people were aware of many things as well. Chinese companies were often stuck in many areas of the semiconductor industry chain.
"What do they need me to do?"
Su Yang looked at Zhao Ming. Everyone was familiar with Su Yang's legendary experience. Although Su Yang did not admit it, everyone knew that many things were done by Su Yang.
"Don't bother Mr. Su. The semiconductor industry is related to the destiny of the nation. It's different from the cultural industry. Since they are so shameless, they are ready to do so. Threats are useless, and sometimes they are not necessarily a bad thing. Over the years, every industry in China that has been sanctioned by the West has eventually broken through and risen. Without destruction, there is no construction, and this time we will be no different..."
Su Yang was impressed by Zhao Ming's words. This kind of spirit was not something that ordinary people in ordinary companies could possess. Su Yang could imagine how much Huawei would lose if they really took ruthless action.
"Mr. Su, this is Mr. Liu from BYT. We're here to seek cooperation. The automotive industry is a huge one, and one that matters to a nation's destiny. BYT has made significant achievements in the new energy vehicle industry over the years, and has achieved good results with the mass-market brand. However, in the luxury car market, we're not so successful. For Huawei, the automotive industry may be the key to our survival..."
Inside the room, Zhao Ming began to speak seriously, and Su Yang listened attentively. Soon Su Yang understood the purpose of their visit.
The two giants are collaborating, with Huawei and BYD each showcasing their respective strengths: Huawei's strengths in intelligence, and BYD's strengths in traditional projects.
The two powerful companies are joining forces to create a luxury brand belonging to China and grab a piece of the luxury car pie.
In the era of fuel vehicles, they had no chance, but in the era of electric vehicles, they see hope.
"Strictly speaking, electric cars are already intelligent products. For intelligent products, safety, especially network security, is very important. Mr. Su, I'm right, right? You are a person who understands technology. Take Tesla for example, do you think their cars are safe?"
Zhao Ming asked with a smile. Hearing this, Su Yang suddenly laughed, the kind of laugh that comes from hearing a joke.
Su Yang slowly stretched out three fingers, and this action stunned the two people.
"Thirty minutes"
Zhao Ming asked tentatively. Su Yang shook his head.
"Thirty Seconds"
Liu Fengyu continued to report a number.
"Three seconds! I've prepared the software in advance. In three seconds, I can take control of their vehicle. Their security system is rubbish. Full of loopholes, it's just crap..."
Su Yang said sarcastically. As the world's most powerful hacker, Su Yang's strength is extremely strong. He naturally knows about smart cars and has secretly tried them many times.
"What about ours?"
Liu Fengyu asked curiously.
"More or less the same..."
Su Yang said something that made Liu Fengyu swallow his saliva.
This is too scary. They can't imagine what impact it would have on their brand if their brand of cars were attacked by hackers on a large scale.
"Mr. Su, we're here this time to seek cooperation in this area. Our Mr. Wang once said that safety is the most important thing. The network security of smart cars is of vital importance. We hope to gain your support in this regard..."
Liu Fengyu said seriously, and Zhao Ming also looked at Su Yang.
BYD's hardware, Huawei's intelligence, and Suyang's security.
If this is combined, it will be a perfect smart car. Zhao Ming is very clear about Su Yang's strength, especially at the software level, he is simply a super master.
"No problem, I'll do it for you. But I can't do it alone; the workload is too much. How about this? Get me a group of people, no need for high-skilled people, just people who can get the job done, and I'll help you build a network security system."
Su Yang said seriously that this was his duty. He would do something that would benefit the country and the people, even if it was free.
"Great, thank you, President Su. By the way, there's one more thing, and that's brand promotion. We'd like you to promote our high-end brand in Transformers."
Liu Fengyu said with a smile, "Transformers is very popular, and the Autobots and car models in it are simply the best promotional platform."
"No problem, I'll make a custom Transformer for you."
Su Yang's words made both of them laugh.
When it comes to publicity, Su Yang is definitely an expert.
The three giants have reached a cooperation agreement, and everyone is full of expectations for the future of luxury brands. Their purpose is simple: in the era of electric vehicles, let you see who is the boss!
