Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 586 - 588 Collaboration

Qin Hao looked at her and asked, "Does Mr. Chang have a suitable auto manufacturer in mind?"

Chang Jing replied, "Domestic options include Jifeng Automobile Group, Changli Automotive Group, Wancheng Auto Group, Jianghai Automobile Group, and so on.

Qian Du Company has a collaboration with Changli Automotive Group, and Jifeng Automobile Group belongs to the Shen Family. Excluding these two, Jiangqi Automobile has the strongest capability, their technology is also relatively advanced, and they're willing to collaborate with us."

Qin Hao nodded slightly, "What is the price range for vehicles from Jianghai Automobile Group?"

Chang Jing responded, "Jiangqi Group's best-selling model is the Rongwei series, valued between sixty to seventy thousand. It's popular due to its affordability and decent technology, and it has been leading the low-end car market in sales for the past few years."

Qin Hao considered this and said, "We can work with them, but I want to focus on mid-to-high-end models, so we'll still need to set up our own factory. Mr. Chang, you take care of this—once the land is selected, let me know. I'll be setting up an engineering company; by then we can just have them take over the construction."

Chang Jing was startled, "A construction engineering company? Aren't you tired, Mr. Qin? With all the money you have, why keep pushing yourself like this?"

Qin Hao gave her a look, "Who would complain about having too much money? Please, Mr. Chang, finalize the details as soon as possible."

Chang Jing nodded, "Understood, I'll take care of it, Mr. Qin."

Qin Hao then said, "Also, starting from today, we'll move into the offline mobile payment market, aiming at a full-scale blow to Tenglong Group and Amao Net Shopping's offline payment market. I'll be contacting Du Yingqiang, Ye Lanxin, and others to have their malls exclusively use Xinghai Collection Code."

Chang Jing looked at him speechlessly, "Mr. Qin, are you trying to work me to death? By the time your car factory launches, I feel like I'll drop dead at my desk."

Qin Hao chuckled dryly, "Maybe you should hire a few deputies to help you out, Mr. Chang?"

Chang Jing replied, "I don't need deputies, but we should set up a general management office for greater efficiency. Have your cousin join in, too."

Qin Hao said, "That's fine. Mr. Chang, you can make the arrangements as necessary—I trust that a smart person like you won't make foolish decisions. Also, for Xinghai Social, recruit some elite game developers, as I'm planning to develop some games later on."

"Got it, Mr. Qin."

After Qin Hao finished his instructions and was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something else, "Ask Mr. He, the chief engineer, to develop a set of intelligent programming codes and motherboards for ships."

Chang Jing asked, "Mr. Qin, is there anything else you need to instruct? Just let me know all at once."

Qin Hao thought for a bit before saying, "That's all for now, Mr. Chang. I'm off to discuss the offline payment matters with Du Yingqiang and others."

Upon leaving Xinghai High-tech Company, Qin Hao made a phone call to Du Yingqiang, Ye Lanxin, and others, arranging to meet at the golf club.

At ten in the morning, Qin Hao arrived at the golf club, where Du Yingqiang, Ye Lanxin, Li Qingya, Li Qingyun, Li Moying, and Li Jianjun had already gathered.

"Mr. Qin," the Li sisters greeted him sweetly with a smile upon seeing him.

Du Yingqiang, Ye Lanxin, and the others also greeted him one after another.

Qin Hao sat down and said with a smile, "No need for formalities, everyone."

Li Qingyun chuckled, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you, Mr. Qin. I want the full version of 'Mechanical Soldier' the movie. I can't wait to see it; the special effects are just too good, so impressive."

...

Qin Hao said, somewhat exasperated, "Miss Li, can we please discuss the business at hand first?"

Li Qingyun smiled sheepishly, "Mr. Qin, I assume you've asked us to meet because there's something specific you need from us. Please, go ahead."

Looking at Du Yingqiang and Ye Lanxin, Qin Hao began, "I plan to expand Xinghai's presence in the offline payment market, and I'll need help from Mr. Du and Mr. Ye."

"That won't be a problem," Du Yingqiang and Ye Lanxin replied.

Qin Hao stated, "Terminate Amao Net Shopping and Tenglong Group's online payments; your malls may only support Xinghai payments."

Chang Jing had already nearly completed the layout for online payments, whether for Xinghai Mall, Star Domain Network, or the major apps under their banner, the payment methods must accommodate Xinghai payments, and collaboration with Tenglong Group and Amao Net Shopping's mobile payment apps was prohibited.

With Xinghai payments already holding a significant online market share, what remained was only the offline payment market.

With the support of malls owned by Du Group and Ye Group, plus the malls under Su Yi Group, Xinghai payments would also dominate the main offline market.

Qin Hao also had some malls in his possession, acquired during the takeover of Tang Group, albeit medium and small malls in county towns.

Altogether, these malls accounted for sixty to seventy percent of Xuan Country's total malls. For others, Qin Hao would have Chang Jing work on partnerships with them—a matter of collecting fees, which should be relatively straightforward.

Even if they couldn't be persuaded to sever ties with Tenglong Group, enabling them to add Xinghai payments should be feasible.

Qin Hao said to Ye Lanxin and the Li sisters, "Chip production will increase this month, be ready for it."

Ye Lanxin and the Li sisters' faces brightened, as they had been eagerly waiting for the production to ramp up. The demand was so high that the supply couldn't keep up.

Qin Hao continued, "There's also the issue of the low-end mobile phone market. This month, I will start providing slightly lower-performance smartphone chips to some budget phone manufacturers."

Currently, the Blueberry Phone retails for over six thousand, positioning it in the mid-to-high range. The common people, however, can only afford phones within the one to two thousand price bracket.

The low-end mobile phone market is still the mainstream in the phone market, with very high demand. There aren't that many wealthy individuals in Xuan Country at the moment.

Even lower-performing chips will still outperform current high-end phones by a significant margin. The production of these chips will be much higher.

If producing a high-end intelligent chip requires a hundred photolithography processes, then these lower-performance ones might only need ten, which means their output will be staggeringly high by comparison.

Ye Lanxin nodded, "Mr. Qin, please entrust the high-end phone market as much as possible to Blueberry Phone."

"Certainly, and for Qing Ya and Qing Yun, I will also supply some lower-performance chips for your family's appliances and washing machines. I hope you can cover the high, mid, and low domestic markets soon."

Lastly, Qin Hao turned to Li Moying and Li Jianjun, "Mo Ying, our company has developed a new AI diagnostic system that can establish intelligent hotels, buildings, banks, and other facilities. Are you interested?"

Li Moying asked, "Intelligent hotels? How intelligent are we talking about, Master?"

Qin Hao thought for a moment and then said, "How to put it? It's almost like the artificial intelligence from sci-fi movies. They can connect to the Star Domain Network, and they can be controlled via the network. Plus, if there are any emergencies, the AI will inform you in real time."

The group looked shocked by the information—almost like the artificial intelligence in science fiction movies?

Li Moying remarked, "That's impressive! Then let's renovate a Jinxiu Hotel in Jianghai City to test it out."
