Into Formula One!
After returning from China, Chen Mo planned to accelerate the company's development. This refers not only to S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto, but to the entire business system that Chen Mo had initially planned. S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto was just the first step he took in this process.
Now, S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto has established a firm foothold in the high-end car market with its "Knight" off-road vehicle. The "Thunder" and "Lord" are also about to be released. At that time, S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto will completely dominate the high-end car market, and it is time to start other layouts.
However, Chen Mo has not yet figured out which specific aspects to develop. An Ran's "Thunder" advertising plan's need for F1 race car gave Chen Mo a new idea. So while building this F1 race car, Chen Mo made another important decision: to establish an F1 team!
Of course, Chen Mo only made his own requests; Chen Mo left the team's formation and member recruitment entirely to Anna.
She had just successfully led and completed the formation of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Rally Team, and now she is mainly responsible for matters related to S.H.I.E.L.D. Mechanical Company. The biggest task of S.H.I.E.L.D. Mechanical Company now is the production of a new car production line that Chen Mo set up before his last trip to the Wolverine world.
More than a week has passed since Chen Mo issued the task, and the construction of the new production line is nearly half completed. Everything is on track, and all that is needed now is to proceed step by step to successfully complete the construction of the production line before the twenty-day deadline given by Chen Mo. After the initial busy period, Anna is no longer so tied up. With her subordinates overseeing things, there shouldn't be any major problems, so she also has time to complete the new task assigned to her by Chen Mo.
As for Su Wan, she has been very busy lately. After finishing the company's department, structure, personnel and system adjustments, she is also busy with the company's expansion and the construction of the first and second phases of the industrial park. It can be said that she has never had a moment's rest since she came to the United States to join Chen Mo. Fortunately, with the assistance of General Manager Michael and others, she has been able to keep up with the work.
After Chen Mo had Michael buy a large tract of land around the company, he began to expand the factory. After Su Wan arrived, she not only took over these tasks, but also officially started the construction of the Future Industrial Park.
Chen Mo's goal has never been just to open a car company. Even if this car company develops into the world's largest automobile group in the future, it is still too far from Chen Mo's goal. What he wants to do is not to repeat the path that others have taken, but to crush them all and build a business empire of his own!
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto is only just starting out, it has already gained a firm foothold. All it needs to do now is continue to develop steadily. At the same time, Chen Mo's other development plans can also begin to unfold one after another. And this huge industrial park under construction will be the core of his future business empire!
Therefore, Su Wan's work doesn't seem so urgent now, but as Chen Mo's subsequent plans unfold step by step, the requirements for the construction progress of the industrial park will become higher and higher. Even if it is built in advance and left there, it is better than having nowhere to go when needed. Chen Mo does not intend to move the company around. He designed this industrial park in the beginning in order to prepare in advance.
Originally, things were fine. Chen Mo was still holding back his strength and not rushing to expand. So far, he had only established two companies: S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto and S.H.I.E.L.D. Machinery. Among them, S.H.I.E.L.D. Mechanical Company had no reputation at all, and not many people even knew about the company.
Since its inception, its mission has been to provide mechanical and equipment support to S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto and other companies, and it will not cooperate with external parties, at least in the short term. As a result, the numerous world-class mechanical and equipment facilities and the amazing technological reserves that they possess are not known to outsiders.
Now that Chen Mo has decided to accelerate development, many of the original plans will be brought forward. At that time, the completed first phase of the industrial park will not be able to meet the needs, so the construction progress of the second phase must be accelerated. As a result, Su Wan has become even busier. This time, she personally went to the racetrack, which was a time she had squeezed out. She originally planned to take a look and leave, but she did not expect to finish filming so quickly.
However, acquiring Carlos Sains Jr. was an unexpected bonus.
Chen Mo entrusted Anna with the entire task of forming the F1 team. With her decisive and efficient personality, she began to learn about F1 race car and teams that very day. Su Wan also listened to her briefly about it.
An F1 team is a very large team composed of racing drivers, test drivers, team managers, technical directors, engineers, technicians, as well as management personnel, doctors, nutritionists, and many other people.
Each team incurs hundreds of millions of dollars in expenses annually, thus every F1 team is backed by substantial financial resources.
Of course, this amount of money is negligible for S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto, which makes a fortune every day.
However, as the world's top motorsport, F1 demands higher levels of professionalism and experience from its team members, and close teamwork is also crucial.
Therefore, in order to get into the competition as soon as possible, after a thorough understanding, Anna finally proposed to acquire an existing team. Compared to building one from scratch, acquiring an existing team is more efficient, as the team members are already well-integrated and have more experience.
In the three days that Chen Mo had his people build the F1 race car, Anna quickly found and contacted a suitable racing team.
The Carter team has been competing in Formula 1 for many years but has not achieved great results. Now facing debt problems, they are being sold, and if no one takes over in the short term, they will face the risk of bankruptcy.
According to the information Anna gathered, although this team is not a long-established team, it has participated in seven consecutive F1 races. The team's personnel are all extremely experienced. However, due to insufficient funding and F1 race car manufacturing technology, they have not yet earned any race points.
However, for Chen Mo, funding and technology are precisely his strengths.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto may seem small compared to top automotive groups, its revenue is no less, and its profit margin far exceeds that of these large groups. With abundant working capital, it can easily invest hundreds of millions of dollars in F1 race car.
Therefore, Chen Mo directly approved Anna's application, investing $100 million to acquire the Carter team, which was being sold, and renamed it the S.H.I.E.L.D. team!
