Qu Miaoyu moved the car chair to Pei Zhi's side. "Sister, do you think our car will sell after it's unveiled?"
The car market is already saturated, and the new energy vehicle market has been almost completely saturated.
At first, everyone bought gasoline cars, then electric cars, and later, everyone bought hybrid cars.
Their company develops pure electric vehicles, and although their batteries are excellent, the mere mention of "pure electric vehicle" makes them difficult to sell.
Pei Zhi replied, "If the product is good, how could it not sell?"
Qu Miaoyu twitched her lips, mainly because their company was in the jewelry business.
Now that they've suddenly switched to producing cars, everyone will be worried about the quality of the vehicles, right?
"How are the preparations for the competition going?"
"All preparations are complete."
Qu Miaoyu hesitated slightly, "You really want to drive our new car and race against those sports cars?"
"If we lose, we won't be able to sell any of our cars at all."
If you're going to sell a car, you naturally need to make a high-profile debut.
Pei Zhi's planned way of making her debut was to participate in a high-speed car race.
Pei Zhi will compete as a contestant against those who drive professionally modified cars.
Once we win, there's absolutely no need to worry about car sales.
As for losing... Pei Zhi had never considered the possibility of her losing.
"They are all professional race car drivers, and their cars have all been modified."
Qu Miaoyu advised, "Even if you finish in the top three, it won't be that impressive, and it's too risky. It's not worth it."
To put it simply, if Pei Zhi goes to participate in a race and doesn't get first place, it's the same as losing.
Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow and retorted, "What, you don't have confidence in our car?"
Qu Miaoyu shook her head frantically; she was quite familiar with the car's various features.
"Our cars are certainly good, but our price is what it is. Other people's professional racing cars use dozens of times more parts than ours, so we can't compare at all."
Qu Miaoyu could say that the cars produced by her company are absolutely top-notch in terms of performance compared to other cars in the same price range.
But how can it be compared to those race cars that cost millions just for modifications?
"I still think you could consider a different way to promote it."
Qu Miaoyu lowered her voice and said, "Aren't people outside quite curious about your relationship with Huo Jiayuan?"
“We can go on a variety show, show off your affection with Huo Jiayuan, and casually give Huo Jiayuan the car as a gift. That way, the publicity will be achieved.”
Netizens are very curious about Pei Zhi and Huo Jiayuan's marriage.
Pei Zhi refused without even thinking: "That's not appropriate."
"Oh dear." Qu Miaoyu thought Pei Zhi felt ashamed to be on a variety show.
"Sis, there's nothing shameful about promoting the company and making money. Showing off your love won't hurt you."
"The company has invested nearly 20 billion yuan in car research and development. If it can't be sold, you won't have any money left to cover the losses."
"Alright." Pei Zhi tapped the table with her pen.
“If it were selling jewelry, I would have no problem advertising it like this.” Pei Zhi was not as aloof as Qu Miaoyu thought.
"But cars aren't jewelry; you can't just promote true love. You have to show people something real."
What's wrong with appearing on variety shows as long as it makes money?
However, doing so will not only be ineffective, but may even have the opposite effect.
“Trust me, I can win.” Pei Zhi’s tone rose slightly. “After all, I can’t go bankrupt. I have a money-devouring beast at home, not to mention an unborn baby outside.”
Qu Miaoyu rolled her eyes. "Fine, I guess I was just being nosy. Anyway, the company is yours. If it goes bankrupt, I'm not going to beg on the streets with you."
Pei Zhi was determined to enter the automobile market.
Most of the company's shareholders were unwilling; a jewelry company switching to automobile research seemed like a pipe dream.
Pei Zhi insisted on doing it, and even made a pledge to do so.
If the car company does not make a profit within three years, Pei Zhi will not receive any dividends from the parent company for fifty years; the dividends will be used as compensation for the shareholders.
Of course, if the company becomes profitable within three years, all dividends distributed to shareholders during those three years will be given to the car company's employees as bonuses.
An agreement has already been reached; this is a high-stakes gamble.
After the meeting, Qu Miaoyu followed Pei Zhi out of the conference room.
Assistant Gao waited outside the meeting room, and as soon as Pei Zhi came out, he handed her a document.
Pei Zhi glanced at it and raised an eyebrow slightly.
After Pei Zhi read the document, she turned and handed it to Qu Miaoyu behind her.
"Don't worry, now your sister won't go bankrupt and have to beg for food, and neither will you."
Qu Miaoyu took the document without knowing why. After glancing at it, she blinked in disbelief and then looked at it carefully again.
Qu Miaoyu was afraid she had misread it; the text was clearly in Chinese, so why didn't she recognize it?
"Holy crap?"
"Have foreign laboratories actually developed something?"
"A miracle cure for cancer?"
Pei Zhi retorted, "It can't be called a miracle drug; it can only be said that it can effectively control the progression of the disease."
If it is cancer now, it is better in the early stages, as it can be cured through surgery and chemotherapy.
If it's in the late stage, the only way to prolong life is through repeated painful chemotherapy, and even then, the effect is not significant.
Is it reliable?
"Take a closer look at the document," Pei Zhi patted Qu Miaoyu on the shoulder, urging her to read it carefully.
Qu Miaoyu opened the document to the back, where the details of the experimental subjects were recorded.
In foreign laboratories, in order to test drugs, they spend money to hire many patients to participate in experiments.
At first, they used small animals, and later they used sick patients as experimental subjects.
They were all in the late stages of cancer and had no hope of survival to begin with. Since they could get money and take a chance, they were naturally willing to do so.
Qu Miaoyu carefully looked at the records on the document. So far, a total of one hundred patients have been tested.
Three people have died, bringing the total to 70. The patients' conditions have improved.
Although it cannot cure the disease, it can prolong the patient's life.
"You'll make a fortune once this drug hits the market, won't you?"
The overseas laboratory belongs to Pei Zhi herself and has nothing to do with the Pei family.
Pei Zhi started preparing for this laboratory while she was still abroad.
The research and development has been going on for almost four years, and we've been spending a lot of money every year.
"Anyway, I won't be begging on the streets anymore."
Qu Miaoyu quickly hugged Pei Zhi's arm tightly, "Sister, don't forget me when you become rich and powerful."
The overseas companies are entirely under Pei Zhi's name.
If Pei Zhi makes money, she won't need to share it with anyone.
Qu Miaoyu doesn't care whether the company goes bankrupt or not; anyway, her sister has more money than she can spend.
Pei Zhi pushed Qu Miaoyu's arm away and tapped Qu Miaoyu's head: "Shut up and get back to work."
