Chapter 111 Product Launch Event
The next day, at the product launch event of Mazda, they unveiled their newest SUV model, the Mazda CX-90. Matsushima Moro, the CEO of Mazda, hosted the event.
Many Japanese and international reporters came to join the event. They were here to witness the newest product of Mazda, but there were also people who came to judge the value of the car.
Matsushima Moro was a professional in this area, he answered everyone's questions without breaking a sweat. He also managed to answer the people who were only there to shame them.
Looking at this, Arlan couldn't help but admire this Japanese businessman. Unlike himself, Matsushima Moro became the CEO of Mazda after years of hard work and patience. Something like this couldn't faze him. "It's such a relief that I have him as the CEO of Mazda." He muttered.
Krizia stared at him and said. "He is indeed a capable person, but aren't you more capable than him, Mr. Roa? You are the owner of Mazda and you also have other companies under your name."
Arlan chuckled when he heard her words. He knew that he would still be struggling right now if he didn't have the mysterious app.
Krizia took his silence differently.
On the stage, Matsushima Moro scanned the crowd and said. "Thank you for coming to our launching event!"
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Arlan and Krizia stood up and walked towards Matsushima Moro and the other leaders of Mazda. "I want to see our engineers and researchers. I'd like to hear their opinions about our next major project." Arlan said to Matsushima Moro.
Matsushima Moro nodded his head and replied. "I'll inform them right away, Mr. Roa."
After the product launch event, they headed to the main building of Mazda to meet with their best engineers and researchers.
All the employees already knew that the largest shareholder of the company was coming to the building so they lined up at the entrance to welcome Arlan's arrival.
When Arlan entered the building, the employees bowed in his direction and greeted him. "Welcome, Mr. Roa!"
Arlan smiled gently at everyone and waved his hand at them. He then followed Matsushima and the others to the meeting room.
The best engineers and the researchers of the company were already waiting for them inside. When they entered the meeting room, everyone turned their gazes at Arlan who was walking in front of the group.
"Greetings, Mr. Roa!"
"Greetings, Mr. Roa!"
Arlan motioned for everyone to sit down. He then took his seat.
Arlan gazed at the people inside the meeting room and said in Japanese. "I gathered the best talents of Mazda to show you something." He then turned his head to Krizia and nodded at her.
Krizia turned on the projector and showed them the blueprint of the flying car.
Arlan could hear their gasps after the blueprint was revealed. Arlan cleared his throat and said while pointing at the blueprint. "This is our company's next project and we will start working on it tomorrow. As you may all know, our company isn't even in the top 10 in the automotive industry, but this technology will change everything. As our engineers and researchers, can you tell me your thoughts about this blueprint?"
A middle-aged man wearing spectacles suddenly said. "Mr. Roa, I have more than thirty of experience as an automotive engineer and I can say that this blueprint is revolutionary. If we follow the creation process according to the diagrams, we can already start mass-producing the flying car. It's just that we are in short supply of some of our raw materials. We used them to produce a large number of Mazda CX-90 models. It might take some time before we can gather enough materials."
"We are indeed in short supply of raw materials. We have already asked our main suppliers to procure more materials for us, but it seems like they won't arrive on time." Another person said.
Arlan furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing this. He didn't want to delay the production of the flying cars. If the zombie apocalypse arrive, they would be the most useful mode of transport. "How many units can we make with our remaining materials?" He asked.
The middle-aged engineer wearing spectacles adjusted his glasses before he replied. "By my estimates, we should be able to produce five thousand units with the materials we have."
"Five thousand?" Arlan leaned on his chair and pondered deeply.
Everyone stared nervously at him without daring to say another word.
After a moment of silence, Arlan muttered. "Prioritize the production of our flying cars. I want five thousand made in one month!"
"Yes, Mr. Roa!"
Arlan discussed more things with them, including the price of the flying car and many other things. The meeting ended after almost two hours.
After the meeting, Arlan walked out of the building with Matsushima Moro. On their way out, Arlan whispered to him. "I want you to place strict surveillance on everyone who participated in the meeting."
Matsushima nodded his head with a serious look.
Arlan smiled at him and patted his shoulder. "Soon, Mazda will become the best in the automotive industry."
Matsushima Moro's eyes flashed upon hearing his words. He watched the company grow into a multi-billion business and it was his dream to turn Mazda into one of the best in the world. Arlan made him believe that his dreams might turn into reality. "I won't disappoint you, Mr. Roa."
Matsushima Moro and the others bowed at Arlan as he left in his car.
"You did well, boss." Krizia praised him with a smile.
Arlan laughed lightheartedly at her words. "By the way, did you already inform Eugene Tan about the Island Rehabilitation Project?"
Hearing this, Krizia nodded her head. "Yes, I've already told him about it. Boss, why do you want to create a city on that island? There are a lot of lands that we can develop and that island isn't even famous. It might be difficult to raise its value even if we promote it."
