Lin Fan announces car manufacturing!
The news caused a sensation, and people were very excited about it, because in their minds, Mr. Lin is an extraordinary figure, and when someone exceptional announces they will build cars, people are really eager to see the results.
Because of their admiration for Mr. Lin, most opinions are optimistic about Mortal Groupâs car manufacturing. Lin Fan single-handedly took Celestial Aviation, which initially had a market value of just a few billion, to 200 billion. Such a capable person wouldnât do poorly in car manufacturing!
Thatâs right, most people tend to blindly believe in the strong.
If a famous failure were to announce car manufacturing, it definitely wouldnât have such a stir, nor would so many people be optimistic about it.
The marketâs reaction was the most direct. After Lin Fan announced car manufacturing, Mortal Groupâs stock price started rising and has exceeded 210 billion!
Of course, not everyone is optimistic.
The reason lies in the fact that Mortal Groupâs car manufacturing is like coming out of nowhere, without any foundation. How is that supposed to work?
This statement isnât without reason. Mortal Group is actually a very young company, having completed a reverse takeover by acquiring Celestial Aviation, and its main business is aviation. Additionally, Mortal Group only has two subsidiaries, Blue Moon Hand Soap and a chip manufacturing company.
Currently, none of Mortal Groupâs businesses are related to cars, so Lin Fanâs sudden involvement in car manufacturing inevitably led some people to be not optimistic.
The most skeptical was Robinson.
Robinson, upon hearing Lin Fanâs announcement about car manufacturing, laughed right on the spot.
"Mr. Lin, I originally thought that as the richest man in Yun City, youâd be quite rational, but your actions are too naive." Robinson laughed heartily.
Lin Fan said, "Whatâs the matter, your Tesla can manufacture cars, but I canât?"
Robinson said, "Do you think having some money allows you to manufacture cars? To use a word from your Huaxia, youâre really just an upstart, thinking that money can solve everything!"
Lin Fan said, "What else then?"
Robinson snorted, "So ignorant! Do you know how our Tesla came about? Tesla was founded by Mr. Martin, who was an engineer. Later, the company was acquired by Mr. Maslow, who also made it flourish. Mr. Maslow was also an engineer, and he was programming software at the age of 10. They are geniuses, with impressive academic backgrounds and professional knowledge. Take Bill Gates and Jobs as examples; which of them isnât a genius in their field! Only geniuses can create great companies. May I ask Mr. Lin, from which university did you graduate, and what was your major?"
Lin Fan said, "I graduated from Yun City University, majoring in liberal arts."
"What?" Robinson almost died laughing, "So youâre a liberal arts graduate? Thatâs a real knee-slapper! Car manufacturing is for science and engineering majors, what are you, a liberal arts person, sticking your nose into?"
Lin Fan said, "Why canât a liberal arts major get involved? Even if I donât know how, I can hire science and engineering majors to work for me, besides, I do understand cars."
Robinson laughed, "Mr. Lin, pardon me, you donât really think owning two luxury cars and being able to drive means you understand cars, do you?"
Lin Fan said, "Of course not, although I studied liberal arts, Iâm very interested in science and engineering, and I have a particular study of vehicles."
"Hahahahaha..."
Robinson laughed so hard he held his belly.
"Sorry, thatâs too funny, I donât usually laugh this hard unless I canât help it, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."
Lin Fan smiled, "Is it that funny?"
Robinson said, "Of course itâs funny, Mr. Lin Fan, youâre a liberal arts person whoâs interested in science and engineering and self-studying it? Thatâs just an amateur! Let professionals handle professional tasks. An amateur like you should really stay out of this, otherwise, itâll just be a joke! Iâve never heard of an amateur who could take on a professional role! Mr. Maslow is a science and engineering genius, and looking at his entrepreneurial history, itâs all related to his expertise, which is a great testament."
"Mr. Lin, being a liberal arts major, I think you should write novels or become a teacher instead of embarrassing yourself further!"
Robinsonâs words gradually became harsh, full of ridicule.
However, his words werenât entirely unjustified. Indeed, specialties have their own experts, and by normal logic, an amateur genuinely canât outperform a professional.
Someone self-taught in programming might write small programs, but definitely canât surpass Bill Gates.
Listening to Robinson, many present nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, Mr. Lin is very capable and adept at making money, but in car manufacturing, he indeed seems amateur!"
"No wonder Robinson is teasing him!"
"Hearing that foreign guy say this, Iâm starting to doubt Mr. Linâs capability in car manufacturing too!"
Hearing these discussions, Robinson felt very triumphant, apparently hitting Lin Fanâs sore spot.
"Mr. Lin!"
Just then, a voice called out, and a middle-aged man came up, very respectfully greeting Lin Fan.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Lin Fan recognized him; he was Xu Guojun, chairman of Zhongwei Phone.
"Ah, itâs Mr. Xu. Are you here to buy a car today?" Lin Fan politely asked.
Xu Guojun said, "Personally, I really love cars, and whenever I have free time, I come to car shows, just a personal hobby."
At this point, Xu Guojun noticed Robinson, exclaimed, and also went over to shake hands with Robinson, saying, "Mr. Robinson, youâre here too. I was just looking for you."
It was apparent Robinson and Xu Guojun knew each other.
Robinson curiously asked, "Mr. Xu, do you know Mr. Lin?"
Xu Guojun said, "Of course, we encountered a chip shortage at Zhongwei Phone recently, and thanks to Mr. Linâs help, we overcame the crisis."
Robinson was stunned: "What? Do you mean Mr. Lin helped you through a financial crisis?"
Xu Guojun said, "No, haha, while Mr. Lin is indeed the richest man in Yun City and certainly has money, Zhongwei Phone didnât need Mr. Linâs money. Mr. Lin provided us with technical support for chips."
Robinson was even more surprised: "He provided you with chip technology support?"
Xu Guojun said, "Mr. Robinson, you might not know this, but Mr. Lin possesses the worldâs most advanced chip manufacturing technology. In the field of chips, Mr. Lin can be called one of the top experts in the world."
What?
Everyone present was stunned.
Lin Fan is actually a chip expert?
Lin Fan found this amusing. Xu Guojunâs statement wasnât wrong; previously, the system did reward him with top-tier chip manufacturing technology. The amusing part was that no one knew it was granted by the system.
Robinson couldnât help but exclaim in surprise: "Heâs a top chip expert? But he studied liberal arts!"
