Chapter 369: Even if you produce, if you can't sell it, I'll lose!
Early the next morning.
Xingbang Conference Room.
There are several thick cables on the table, and there is a layer of liquid cooling sheath on the outside of the orange skin, but at this time, there are two liquid cooling circulation channels between the outer sheath layer and the cable sheath layer, which is the legendary liquid cooling circulation system.
Yang Bufan picked up this cable and looked at it carefully, and several technical bigwigs next to him were in a state of debate.
Yang Zhijia has great doubts about the safety of this cable.
"How's the bending of this cable?
Zhao Qiang directly took out a cable bending test report, which clearly showed that the bending of this cable product met the requirements.
Yang Zhijia took the report and looked at it a few times, and then asked: "What about waterproofing?
Zhao Qiang was not annoyed, and took out another report.
Yang Zhijia breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Cheng asked again.
"Zhao Gong, we all know the charging principle of this cable, that is, the charging pile will generate a lot of heat in the process of use, and the greater the power of the charging pile, the easier it is to cause the cable to heat up, resulting in unsafe and unstable factors. In order to solve the problem of high temperature and current limitation during the charging process, it is necessary to develop new liquid-cooled cables and charging guns to adapt to the development of high-power charging technology.
I have to say that ginger is still old and spicy, and this question is really the key to asking.
Regardless of the inspection and technical parameters of the cable, the final product is to be used with the charging dock and charging gun, and how much energy consumption can be used in the process of use, and how much charging efficiency can be improved, these are to be studied.
It's not that if the technical parameters of the cable are qualified, everything will be fine.
Li Cheng saw that everyone understood, but he changed his words and said: "Zhao Qiang, your research direction is very good, I suggest that you be transferred to the Cable Research Institute!"
Zhao Qiang was stunned for a moment, and explained in his heart that he was discussing technical issues, why did he start poaching people!
The question is, with so many leaders here, how could he directly accept such an invitation.
Gao Xun and Yang Mingyu quit at that time, especially Yang Mingyu, who jumped out directly.
"Chief Engineer Li, don't rob people, okay, you are really a needle, you can start digging people in a meeting. Zhao Qiang's product is indeed a cable product, but he also has other research projects, all of which are automotive, and are not limited to cable and cable manufacturing, so it is not very suitable to go to your cable research institute. ”
Li Cheng smiled, and immediately stopped digging people, but just looked at Zhao Qiang with a smile: "Zhao Gong, if you have any cable problems, you can come to me to discuss." I think this liquid-cooled cable is reliable, but it is still short of the real automotive platform test, so I suggest that we first reach cooperation with some new energy vehicle manufacturers, so that we have a bottom in our hearts. ”
Zhao Qiang attaches great importance to Li Cheng's opinion, and the most important thing is that what Li Cheng said is indeed not wrong at all, and it is to the point.
At this time, Yang Zhijia and Li Zhe spoke again.
Yang Zhijia looked at Yang Bufan, who had been pretending to be deep, and hurriedly asked: "Our factory technology and production, do we need to organize small batch production immediately? If necessary, we must immediately contact the mold and raw material manufacturers, and the equipment also needs to carry out some transformation, which will take time." ”
Li Zhe completely stood with Yang Zhijia at this time, and added: "There is also personnel training, although the quality of our employees is very high, but the production process of liquid-cooled cables is completely new, and it will take a while to adapt and cultivate." ”
Zhao Qiang spread his hands and said that don't ask me this kind of question, he really can't make the decision.
Similarly, although Gao Xun and Yang Mingyu are the leaders of Zhao Qiang, they are not easy to say anything when it comes to mass production and transformation.
Li Cheng came to see the excitement, so he began to drink tea silently.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Bufan, waiting for him to decide.
In fact, it was a difficult decision to make, and everyone understood it.
First of all, the technical content and production difficulty of this liquid-cooled cable are not high, and the real power is this kind of thinking and design.
But the idea and design can be copied, when Xingbang's liquid-cooled cable appears on the market, it is certain that there will be a follow-up product in a short period of time, even if Xingbang has applied for a patent, but the scope of application of the patent is still to be discussed, there are a lot of loopholes to drill, and it is impossible to prevent other manufacturers from imitating and re-developing.
Therefore, either directly occupy the market in bulk and assume some sales and market risks, or it will be steady and steady, and compete by quality and price in the future.
If the investment in the first path is 100, the return may be zero or 1,000.
The second way is said to have an investment of 10, but the return may be 10 to 500.
That's basically what it means.
Through the communication just now, everyone actually agrees with the second safer option, but everyone understands that Mr. Yang actually wants to take the first road, that is, the road that is very risky but more profitable.
Yang Bufan saw that everyone was no longer arguing or communicating, they all stared at him with wide eyes, and immediately put down the cable in his hand.
"Yang Zhijia, immediately prepare the technical preparations for mass production! Li Zhe, you are responsible for on-site and equipment transformation, on-the-job training of employees, and small-batch trial production! Zhao Qiang, you are responsible for supporting the whole process! I will give you a month, and I must give me mass production capacity! During this period, I will give you money if you want money, and I will give you people if you want people!"
Yang Bufan's words did not have any hesitation, and they were even more unquestionable.
For a while, everyone knew that this decision had been made, and everyone must follow the first path!
Several people who received the order nodded at the same time.
No matter how Mr. Yang chooses, everyone can beep casually before choosing, but once Mr. Yang chooses the road, everyone will implement it, which is the correct way to work in Xingbang, and it is also the basic quality of a person in the workplace.
Yang Bufan smiled, picked up the Coke in his hand and wanted to take a sip, but put it down directly.
"I know what everyone thinks, and I also know that everyone wants to choose a more secure way, first talk about cooperation, load and test, and finally win the project and then mass production! But I tell you, in the future, I will choose to directly have mass production capacity! Because of what? Because I believe in everyone's pre-development and planning ability! Zhao Qiang!"
Zhao Qiang heard Yang Bufan call his name, and sat up straight suddenly.
"Zhao Qiang came to me because of this project a few years ago, when he showed me the market forecast of the whole project, I think his analysis is no problem, I believe him, but also believe in myself! Zhao Qiang has also been doing experiments in the unit during the Chinese New Year, what is he for? Isn't he just to complete the research and development faster? The market is changing rapidly, we are a month slow, maybe the market is not ours! But now that we are entering the market, we can kill all of them, and the market share is all ours, and the blue ocean market of liquid-cooled cables can be fully occupied, and we can even lead the writing of national standards for liquid-cooled cables and even liquid-cooled charging equipment!
When Yang Bufan said these words, he selectively ignored that a large part of the reason why Zhao Qiang came to work overtime during the New Year was because of the forced marriage at home, and he was also very conscientious.
But after saying this, Zhao Qiang was excited, tears were about to fall, I felt that Mr. Yang understood him too well and believed in him too much, how could he not work hard, even if his head was completely bald!
But at this time, Yang Bufan didn't pay attention to Zhao Qiang's expression at all, but said in a deafening voice: "Since we have done market research, what are you afraid of wolves and tigers?
This question, like a sharp arrow, directly sent a thousand arrows to everyone here.
Everyone present, even Li Cheng, who has been engaged in technology all his life, was shocked by this question.
Yes, the premise of R&D work is market research and product feasibility analysis, although the R&D departments of many enterprises do not do these work at all, but Xingbang Group, especially the three major research institutes of Xingbang, is completely in accordance with the basic development process!
Now that the market research has been done and the feasibility analysis of the product has been completed, what are you worried about?
Li Cheng also nodded at this time: "It may be that the current situation of the industry has affected everyone's thinking, in the past, we had sales and orders, so we would consider what to develop, rather than what to develop and sell." This is a chicken-first-the-egg issue, in the past few decades, it has been the order of the chicken first, and then we will produce the eggs! In fact, I think it is more secure to complement each other. ”
Yang Bufan sighed, and then his voice rose sharply: "Today, the three major research institutes are not in addition to the Medical Science and Technology Research Institute, and the other main persons in charge are here, I tell you now, in the future, our model will change, others are all engaged in order reproduction, but we can't compare with them, we must believe in ourselves, and the products of your two research institutes will follow today's ideas in the future!"
When everyone heard this, they all secretly wrote down the way they worked today, and not only did they not feel aggrieved, but they had a feeling of dominating everything.
This feeling is like the feeling of drinking Red Bull and Le Hu, and the excitement is so exciting!
Although Mr. Yang said a lot today, the theme is not one, Xingbang will not be in charge of sales in the future, but in terms of research and development!
This is a huge change in the focus of the enterprise, and it is of cross-era significance!
From now on, the R&D part of Xingbang will be the most popular, the most core and the most arrogant department!
At this time, Gao Xun was a little puzzled, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Yang, why are we two research institutes, and why are medical technology research institutes different?"
Yang Bufan smiled and answered this question without thinking about it at all.
"I said that the Medical Technology Research Institute is for charity, do you believe it?"
When everyone heard this, they all nodded directly, they really believed it!
Because it can be seen from the use of money, the expenses of the Automobile Research Institute and the Cable Research Institute are all from the group, but the medical technology research institute is different, and the people are donating from the Xingbang Charity Foundation, do you dare to believe it?
Theoretically, the Medical Technology Research Institute is equivalent to an independent company, but it is still part of the Xingbang Group.
However, this is the case, and everyone is used to it.
Yang Bufan saw that everyone had no doubts, and stood up directly.
"Okay, let's get busy, this year is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the result is that everyone has gone to work, hard work! ”
Hearing this, Yang Zhijia was the first to jump up and cheer.
"Great! You can save money without swiping your card!"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they were all amused by Yang Zhijia's big slam.
......
After the meeting, Yang Bufan returned to his office, a little restless.
At the meeting, the beer was blowing loudly, but if it really couldn't be sold, it would be a slap in the face.
It seems that the focus of this month's work is to put the promotion of liquid-cooled cables in an important position.
But which OEM to cooperate with?
Yang Bufan really didn't have a clue now, which made him sit in front of the computer and scratch his head constantly, as if there was a lot of dandruff in his hair.
After a long time, Yang Bufan didn't think of any good way, so he could only send a WeChat message to Wu Xuanxuan, telling him that the sales department would focus on adding one more work this month, that is, to promote liquid-cooled cables!
There's no way, the boss can't handle the things to his subordinates, it's just right.
As for what Wu Xuanxuan does, Yang Bufan can't care about it.
At this time, Yang Bufan could have felt at ease, but after thinking about it repeatedly, he always felt that if he did this, he might really be cool.
So, Yang Bufan directly took out a piece of printer paper from the printer and began to list domestic new energy vehicle manufacturers on it.
At this time, Yang Bufan's years of game experience played a huge role.
If you divide it according to the intensity level of the game, the strongest is called T0, followed by T1, and then T2.
Yang Bufan is not usually paddling, and he also has unique research on the new energy vehicle market.
How to judge the strength of a new energy vehicle company?
It's actually very simple, look at the sales!
Sales volume is everything, followed by factors such as technology, brand, and mass production capacity.
So when you think about it all together, you can still see some clues.
There are basically five or six T2 companies in the domestic new energy vehicle market.
BAIC, BMW New Energy, Chery, Ora and Ideal are the T2-level new energy vehicle companies in Yang Bufan's heart, and if it is the Liu family, maybe Xiaopeng Motors can be added.
Among them, BAIC is the head of the T2 level, and it may be understandable to count it to the T1 level.
As for the T1 level, it is actually GAC New Energy, Buick, BYD and Baojun.
These car companies are in a leading position in the market in terms of manufacturer strength and car sales, and they are developing rapidly.
At this time, Yang Bufan sighed silently, and wrote the word Tesla on the line of T0, that is, at the top of the pyramid of this A4 paper.
Not to mention anything else, it is Tesla's Edamame Three, which is basically more than 10,000 sales per month.
To be honest, Yang Bufan doesn't think that Edamame San really completely surpasses or even crushes the T1 and T2 levels in terms of performance.
But I can't stand up to others, Tesla has a brand effect!
It's actually very simple to see if a car has a brand effect.
Colleges and universities with many beautiful girls, such as art colleges, art colleges, teachers' colleges, medical schools and other schools, park a car at random, if there are girls to take the initiative to talk, then the car you drive has a brand effect.
On the contrary, it means that your car is nothing!
Even two cars at the same price, one is Edamame Three and the other is Volvo, maybe the girl will get on Tesla's Edamame Three directly!
Just ask if you're afraid!
Why?
It's not because of anything, just because Tesla is handsome and good-looking, and it's expensive.
Of course, most girls only know Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Tesla, which is also an important reason.
Another example is a BMW X1 and a phaeton, many girls directly get on the BMW X1, which is so ruthless.
Even the contrast between Tesla and domestic cars is even more pronounced.
For example, a Tesla and a BYD Qin EV...... The success rate of the young guy who drove Qin EV to pick up girls is definitely quite touching.
If you don't believe it, you can go to the gate of the university and compare it with the old man who drives a Tesla.
Yang Bufan scratched his head again, feeling that his head had a tendency to learn from Zhao Qiang sooner or later.
I always think about what to do with these things at the gate of the university, how can I really go?
After all, it's the Spring Festival, and colleges and universities are on vacation, cough cough cough.
Yang Bufan shook his head, expelled the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, and continued to think about business.
"Well, it seems that I have to go out in person, the T2 level will be handed over to the sales department to contact, the T1 level will let Gao Xun contact, and as for the T0 Tesla, I will contact it myself!"
Thinking of this, Yang Bufan took the pen and drew a circle on the three words of Tesla, as if Tesla was already in control.
Yang Bufan turned on the computer and directly began to search for the email of Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Then he found that he didn't find anything, just a bunch of news about Musk's internal email leaks.
It's useless, Yang Bufan shook his head and muttered to himself, suddenly feeling a little stunned, how can a busy person like Musk be so easy to contact, or have to contact Tesla through conventional channels!
For example, it is not a good way to contact the relevant personnel of Tesla's magic capital factory.
Thinking of this, Yang Bufan directly called Yang Buyi.
The phone was connected, and Yang Buyi's painful voice came from inside.
"Hey, brother, I'm scratching my head, what do you have to say!"
Yang Bufan hehehe: "It's such a coincidence, I'm scratching my head too! I want to ask you, what day of the first month of the first month began to record the Tucao Conference." ”
Yang Bu didn't believe that his brother was so interested in this, and immediately smiled: "On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the magic capital gathers!" Brother, you booked my ticket and our father's ticket together, and our father said that he also wanted to follow me around, and I agreed to him. ”
Yang Bufan was speechless for a while, how could his sister seem to be Yang Zhijia's sister, picking and searching!
But it's just a matter of round-trip air tickets, at most, plus the accommodation during the magic capital, this little money Yang Bufan is of course impossible to refuse, and it is also a good choice for Yang Bufan not to forget to accompany his father to play around.
"Okay, got it, I'll let Li Xiaoqin order it. ”
"By the way, there's also Zhao Ying's, don't forget!"
"Uh, okay!"
"What's the matter, brother, you're the best!"
"Get out!"
"Okay!"
"Remember that my manuscript is well written! If you don't write well, you will pay for the air ticket yourself!"
"Hmph!
......
