Chapter 1 A New Beginning
Jiangzhou has always been a tourist city, but with the rise of China Group and Alibaba, it has shouted the slogan of building a "city of automobiles" and a "smart city".
Tourism alone can only fill the stomach, without industry do not want to become rich, to seize the future depends on the high-tech industry. Jiangzhou has positioned itself very clearly, that is, to focus on the development of the automobile industry, which brings huge employment and tax revenue, and then strive to support the high-tech Internet economy.
By supporting leading enterprises to drive industrial clusters, this is the economic development concept of Bo Dongfeng, the new secretary of Jiangzhou.
Today is the day when the "Kunpeng" electric bus of Zhonghua Group is put into use, and a total of 10 pure electric buses will be put into use. Not only in China, but even in the world, it is the first of its kind, and the honor of the first pure electric bus line has fallen on the heads of the people of Jiangzhou.
With a price of 13 million units, the Kunpeng T's can be called one of the most expensive cars in China.
If it is not for the battery pack developed by ATL, the price of imported lithium batteries will increase by 50%, which is already the cost price given by Zhonghua Group.
There is no way, the early R&D cost is too large, and even the parts are not mass-produced, so the price of 3 million is still not profitable.
It can be seen that why traditional auto giants are reluctant to invest in the mass production of new energy vehicles, and the market will not accept such expensive products without state subsidies for huge costs.
For example, a 12-meter gasoline bus costs around 350,000 yuan, and if you switch to natural gas, it costs 450,000 yuan. However, if pure electric is used, the cost is as high as 3 million, and the bus company will definitely not buy a product with such poor cost performance.
The Jiangzhou municipal government subsidizes 1.5 million yuan for each Kunpeng bus, and at the same time, the taxes and fees are all reduced, so that the world's first pure electric bus line can settle in Jiangzhou.
These 10 Kunpeng buses are the first batch of products, and 15 pure electric buses will be delivered in the next three months, truly forming a pure electric fleet to operate.
At the starting and ending stations, Chunghwa Group and State Grid will cooperate to build charging stations. The 6 batteries of the electric bus can be replaced in 15 minutes, or they can be charged directly with the charging pile, which takes 4 hours to fully charge for slow charging and 50% of the power for fast charging in 45 minutes.
After repeated practice, the full power can ensure at least 150 kilometers of travel on the city road, enough for 3 round-trip operations, which can fully meet the daily use of public transportation.
Jiangzhou is actually a front station for the capital, and in the future, the 2008 Olympic Games will use Kunpeng as a sponsorship vehicle, which will take more than two years to verify the improvement.
"Today is a very special day, the world's first pure electric bus line was officially put into use in Jiangzhou.
This shows that China's automobile industry has been at the forefront of the world in the field of new energy, reaching or even exceeding the level of developed countries.
In the future, pure electric bus lines will become a new city card for Jiangzhou's external publicity, leading the domestic and international fashion trends. ”
Take out tens of millions of financial subsidies for pure electric buses, Bo Dongfeng of course wants to stand for it, in front of CCTV and other media cameras, he shouted the slogan of creating a new business card in Jiangzhou.
Han Hao, who was newly married, had a more ruddy face, and he stood aside and applauded warmly, it can be said that the Jiangzhou Municipal Government has supported the new energy vehicles this time, which has provided a lot of convenience for the development of Zhonghua Group.
"Experimenting and making changes while making", the trilateral policy is his instruction for the development of new energy vehicles.
As the first mass-produced pure electric bus, the Kunpeng T1 must still be imperfect, which can only be tested through practice.
To this end, the Kunpeng project team will be stationed in this new bus line throughout the whole process and provide technical support for bus operation 24 hours a day.
On the day of the wedding, Han Hao once said to his wife that new energy vehicles are the future.
Without an engine or transmission, it completely bypasses the patent and technical barriers held by traditional auto giants, and can realize the strategy of overtaking in corners.
Although Zhonghua Group has invested heavily in the field of engines and transmissions, Han Hao also understands that compared with traditional giants, his own technology accumulation is still insufficient, and there is a big gap with the other party.
While continuing to compete with traditional auto giants, Chung Wah Group has already begun to warm up in the next race, hoping to lead the way after the start of the race.
China's market dividend is enough to support the Zhonghua Group to play two competitions at the same time, but this dividend has a time limit, so it can only be developed by unconventional means.
On the day after the wedding, Han Hao and Chen Lingxi entertained Hu Yiming's family by the West Lake, and he had an in-depth conversation with his mentor here.
"What do you think is the reason for China's rapid economic development?"
Hu Yiming drank West Lake Longjing tea and asked his students.
"The most important thing is to integrate into the global economic division of labor, undertake the industrial transfer of Western countries, and enjoy the dividends of globalization. ”
Han Hao is no longer Wuxia Ameng, and he has a lot of insight into macro issues.
Chinese people have always endured hardships and stood hard work, and the reason why the economy has developed rapidly after the reform and opening up is because they have actively integrated themselves into globalization.
A more obvious example is that after joining the TO, China's economy burst out with super vitality, not only eliminating the wave of layoffs, but also raising the annual GDP growth rate to a higher level.
The advanced technology and management experience of China's automobile industry are all imported from Western countries. The rapid development of the Chunghwa Group is to catch the ride of globalization, as evidenced by the fact that it grabbed people from Detroit and used foreign technology to build engines and transmissions.
"That's a good point, it looks like I've read all the books I've given you. However, globalization is an external factor, and there is an internal factor that has to be taken into account.
Do you think that peasants will be able to become big bosses in the future? The theory that reading is useless has now risen, and many people have used examples around them to prove that they can make a fortune without studying. ”
As a senior counselor of the State Council, Hu Yiming did not say what the internal cause was, but had new questions waiting for Han Hao to answer.
"Entrepreneurs who are farmers are trapped in the boundaries of vision, and many times they are trapped under the ceiling and cannot go to the next level.
From the examples around me, many people have to continue to study to a certain extent, otherwise they will be eliminated by the times.
Nowadays, more and more successful entrepreneurs around us are highly educated intellectuals, especially in the new Internet economy, the probability of success of farmers is very small.
The era of barbarism that relied on courage and courage to break through a world has passed, and the future will be a world of knowledge competition. ”
Han Hao thought for a moment and said without hesitation.
"Undertaking the transfer of Western industries into globalization is the key dividend, but our country also has its own dividends.
It is often said that uneducated peasants can make a fortune because they have caught up with the internal dividends of China's development.
This internal dividend is divided into three parts according to time, the first is the market demand dividend, the second is the cheap labor dividend, and the third is the knowledge talent dividend. ”
Listening to what you say, it is better to read books for ten years, and every time he communicates with Hu Yiming, he can say a high-level theory.
"At the beginning of reform and opening up, China had a population of more than 900 million, and the pent-up demand for a long time in the era of planned economy suddenly burst out. At that time, you did something to sell in business, and you found that the supply exceeded the demand, and you could quickly make a fortune.
Just like your dad washed his feet and went to the fields, carrying the shelves and walking the streets and alleys to sell, completing the primitive accumulation.
Such a picture of the times, as long as you are willing to do it, you can immediately become the first group of people to get rich. This is the embodiment of the market demand dividend, which has created the rise of many private bosses in China.
Including you, it is also the tail of seizing the dividend of market demand and taking advantage of the dividend of the shortage of the motorcycle market to grow up!
This dividend has been basically exhausted for 25 years, which is why everyone finds it difficult to do business, because the ordinary needs of Chinese people have been basically met. ”
Hu Yiming first explained the impact of the first wave of internal dividends in China.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a scholar-type official, and the situation around Han Hao has been summarized by him, and this is really the truth.
"The second wave of dividends is cheap labor, which is what China is most proud of in undertaking the transfer of Western industries.
From a monthly salary of 100 yuan at the beginning of reform and opening up to a monthly salary of 1,000 yuan now, China's factory in the world is made up of countless cheap labor.
In Western countries, the cost of a worker is more than 10,000 yuan a month, but in China it only costs 1,000 yuan, which contains huge profits.
The reason why our Made in China products can sweep the world is because we can create unrivaled cost-effective products.
If the cost of Chinese workers is the same as that of foreign countries, Zhonghua Group will definitely not be able to compete with the competition of foreign counterparts, nor will it be able to produce very cost-effective cars.
Obviously, this wave of dividends has also reached the end stage, and the cost of workers in China will rise dramatically in the future, and it will be fulfilled in less than 10 years.
Many domestic garment and footwear companies have relocated their factories to Southeast Asia, where manpower is cheaper, which is a major example. ”
is good at looking at problems from a macro level, Hu Yiming's analysis made Han Hao break out in a cold sweat.
"The third wave of dividends is the intellectual talent dividend.
Low-end ordinary workers sell their manual labor, while intellectuals rely on mental labor to eat, and innovation and R&D require a large number of educated intellectuals. The reason why your Zhonghua Group can quickly overcome one difficulty after another in technology is because you can hire a large number of technical talents at a low price to use it collectively.
Now that the news is starting to mention the difficulty of employment, the country's expanded college students are beginning to face employment pressure, in fact, providing you companies with a large number of high-quality and cheap intellectual talents.
In the past, the technical talents of state-owned enterprises were invited by private enterprises to speculate to make extra money, but now you hire a large number of college graduates, and you are essentially eating the dividends of knowledge talents.
Once the cost of cheap labor for the average worker rises, the next step is the increase in the price of knowledge and technical personnel.
The reason why your institute can now continue to recruit people is because it can afford the cost of cheap knowledge. When this bonus window closes in the future, you will no longer be able to replicate the big moves you have made now. If everyone were treated as a Detroit returnee, I am afraid that the China Group would have gone bankrupt long ago.
But you don't have to worry, the talent dividend is at least 20 years away, because the talent dividend after the reform and opening up has just begun to appear, and the post-80s talents have just graduated from college and entered the society, and the dividend will last for at least one generation.
If you grasp it well, you should be able to meet your time requirements to catch up with your foreign counterparts. ”
Every word, Hu Yiming's analysis is enough to change Han Hao's development strategy trajectory, and he finally understands why he always has a sense of urgency in his subconscious, and always feels that there is not enough time.
Once the existing Chinese economic dividends are eaten up, it will also usher in the ceiling ending.
"Will there be any dividends in the future?"
Since there was a think tank present, Han Hao asked directly.
"Well, I have a preliminary answer to this question, but I'll leave it to you to figure it out for yourself! I can suggest that the dividends are still there, and you already have some of them. ”
Hu Yiming shook his head and smiled, determined to let Han Hao come to his senses.
