The Amazing son in law Chapter 6796
Homula nodded in agreement, stating, “These suggestions hold significant value. We will certainly take them into serious consideration and strive to implement them promptly.”
As he spoke, Homula turned to Professor Hank, asking, “Given your extensive research in new energy, would you be interested in collaborating with us on this project?”
Without needing a signal from Charlie Wade, Homula recognized Hank’s immense potential.
Having made a strategic decision with the An family upon acquiring Gao Heng, they understood the necessity of involving a true expert in such a high-stakes, multi-billion dollar project. Relying solely on financial resources and hasty decisions could lead to disastrous outcomes.
Even had he not met Hank today, Homula would have arranged for a headhunter to seek out a suitable candidate nationwide. However, he was pleasantly surprised that Charlie Wade could present such a top-tier prospect right upon their return to Jinling.
Hank smiled and politely declined, saying, “To be honest, Mr. An, my current focus is on teaching and mentoring. Additionally, I’ve been out of practical operations for quite some time, and my knowledge is largely theoretical. If I were to manage a business, I wouldn’t feel capable.”
Mr. An, who had been quiet until now, raised his hand and replied earnestly, “Professor Hank, don’t sell yourself short. I believe you are more than qualified for this role. The real question is whether you are willing to take it on.”
“If your true passion lies solely in teaching, then no amount of persuasion will change your mind;”
“But if you possess even a slight interest in overseeing such a significant project, I urge you to think it over carefully;”
“We have already invested 3 billion US dollars into Gaoheng Automobile. Including our investment in power batteries, that figure exceeds 10 billion US dollars. For this venture, we are prepared to invest an additional 30 billion US dollars, bringing the total to 40 billion. This scale is unprecedented for any new automotive company globally. Even the top performers may not have the opportunity to shine on a 40 billion dollar stage. This chance may only come once in a lifetime!”
The old man’s words resonated deeply with Hank.
A starting capital of 40 billion US dollars represents an extraordinary milestone in the realm of new energy vehicles.
Even Remi, which gained immense popularity recently, only announced a 10 billion yuan investment.
A 40 billion US dollar investment translates to nearly 300 billion RMB. This endeavor goes beyond simply establishing a car company; it entails creating an entire industrial ecosystem.
For professional managers worldwide, who would dare to wish for such an incredible opportunity? What a remarkable beginning this could be!
How fortunate it would be to fulfill one’s ambitions on such a grand stage! And what an extraordinary achievement it would be to succeed!
In that moment, Hank’s once impenetrable resolve began to waver.
Noticing Hank’s inner conflict instead of an outright refusal, Charlie Wade understood that Hank was contemplating the offer.
Seizing the moment, he added, “Uncle Hank, didn’t you mention that finding an opportunity to excel is challenging? I’ve thought of a potential opportunity, but I’m unsure of its reliability.”
Hank quickly inquired, “What opportunity?”
The others turned to Charlie Wade, their expressions filled with curiosity.
Charlie Wade explained, “The Rothschild family is currently developing a set of the world’s most advanced AI models for me in Northern Europe. The only caveat is that I’m not allowed to use them for commercial purposes at this time. However, I’m confident that I can negotiate for a commercial license in the automotive sector, and it would be an exclusive license!”
The primary revenue stream for the current AI model comes from providing AI computing services to individuals and businesses. Various industries can access and utilize it, yet there is no real application within the automotive sector at present.
While Charlie Wade couldn’t guarantee that Howard would grant him complete commercial rights across various fields, securing exclusive rights in the automotive sector should be feasible.
