Chapter 44: Charisma

In the just-announced selection of the "China Automobile Industry Science and Technology Progress Award", the "Kunpeng Electric Bus Mass Production Practical Solution" selected by Zhonghua Group won the first prize!

Among the more than 600 selected projects across the country, the pure electric bus project for the future automobile era has been unanimously recognized by the judges with a package of feasibility plans and various practical data.

First the overall project of the SUV "Tang", then the independent research and development CVT project, and now it is the turn of the "Kunpeng" electric bus project.

This shows that Zhonghua Group has the top domestic automotive technology research and development strength, and every year it has become the consensus within the research institute to push China's automobile industry to the international mainstream level by itself.

Although the haze caused by Mitsubishi Motors has not yet dissipated, Han Hao still attended the award ceremony in person, and next to him was Xiong Fanxing, the project director of "Kunpeng".

In addition to Han Hao, who is the standard, the heroes around him are rotated, and he always promotes the technical stars of China's automobile industry to the domestic media every year.

Appearing in front of many media, Xiong Fanxing is honestly not used to it, and he doesn't like the feeling of being paid too much attention.

In the interview, the reporter always reminded him that he hoped that he would return to China only if he wanted to serve the country, but he always insisted on his own point of view.

"There are many opportunities in China, but when I returned to China, I mainly focused on Mr. Han. When he recruited people in Detroit, he showed unparalleled personal charm, which made me feel that I should not be disadvantaged by working with such a person.

Good people are not bad luck, and we are lucky to be on the right path when many of our peers are working towards the same goal. In fact, everyone has paid about the same amount of sweat, the only difference is that we have been favored by God. ”

The founder of an enterprise determines the height of the development of the enterprise, and in Xiong Fanxing's view, Han Hao is the key to the rapid development of Zhonghua Group, and he is also a leader worthy of his follow.

In Chung Hwa Group, he can give full play to his talents, and many brilliant ideas can be freely experimented without worrying about insufficient resources. Having worked for the world's largest car company like General Motors, he understands the pitfalls of large company management. Fortunately, there is still an entrepreneurial atmosphere in the Zhonghua Group, and the management is more flat, so that Xiong Fanxing, who advocates freedom, can get many opportunities for trial and error.

"Do you wish you could be on this podium next year?"

A reporter asked such a question before the end of the interview.

glanced at Han Hao and found that he signaled to answer casually, so Xiong Fanxing directly said his thoughts.

"Well, there are a lot of great people and projects in our research institute, and I can only go back and ask a little bit about who will be here next year. ”

What he meant was that this award would still be in the bag of the China Group in the coming year, but who would come forward would depend on who the institute would choose to apply.

"If Mr. Han chooses me, then you should be able to see me here next year!"

Xiong Fanxing, who is accustomed to the American atmosphere, does not seem to have the habit of modesty, and he has achieved a lot of breakthroughs in two major projects in his hands, and he may have the ability to continue to win awards.

When Xiong Fanxing was focused on the spotlight, Wei Changhui, who was far away in Yangling City, was busy with the delivery of the first batch of "Little Kunpeng" buses.

Because the "Kunpeng" pure electric bus has made a name for itself in the country, not to talk about the core technology of pure electric vehicles, even if it is the design of the flat platform and the large space of the carriage, it is enough to touch the hearts of many bus companies.

Therefore, they specified that the bus orders signed before should be built according to the appearance of the "Kunpeng", but the power system was replaced by the traditional diesel engine mode.

In order to distinguish it from pure electric buses, buses with diesel engine technology are called "small Kunpeng", while electric buses are naturally "big Kunpeng".

The creation of "Xiao Kunpeng" integrates the excellent resources of Zhonghua Group: high-quality and reliable engines manufactured by Yuchai, bus transmissions with ZF technology provided by Hongyan Qitooth Transmission, and customized Hande axles supplied by Shaanxi Automobile......

In addition, the instrument panel, seats, glass, etc. are all selected from the excellent supplier system of Zhonghua Group, and this time the whole group will gather the strength of the whole group to create a benchmark product for the next generation of public transportation.

Anyone who has personally experienced "Little Kunpeng" will sincerely agree that there is no opponent on the market who can fight with it for the time being.

The batch of 500 brand-new "Little Kunpeng" will be delivered to the Capital Bus Company in 45 days, and the capital is preparing to replace the dilapidated buses in a big way in order to welcome the arrival of the Olympic Games in the capital.

As the general manager of China Yaxing, Wei Changhui has gone all out for the rise of Yaxing Bus in the past two years, and has basically completed the construction of a young and professional team while paying close attention to quality and rationalizing internal management.

The Yaxing factory, which was originally bloated and procrastinated, has now become the heart of the whole factory, and the collective spiritual outlook has undergone earth-shaking changes.

With the continuous delivery of "Xiao Kunpeng" and began to become the fist product of China Yaxing, the answer sheet he received from Han Hao back then, it should not be a problem to get a passing score in the exam.

Now Wei Changhui's annual salary is more than one million, and he still has millions of shares in Zhonghua Group, which can be said to have become 1% of the country's successful people, surpassing 99% of the migrant workers.

And his old friend Xu Kaikai, who is still staying in the second automobile, is still the head of the design section of Dongfeng Shenlong Automobile Technology Center, with an annual salary of no more than 150,000 yuan.

In the past two years, with the development of the group's joint venture brand, Dongfeng's own brand has not been able to come up with decent works, and it is more in the localization of docking foreign models in China. Xu is full of open feelings, and he can't get the opportunity to show it.

As soon as he came out of the production workshop, Wei Changhui received a strange phone call.

The other party claimed to be a high-end headhunter and was preparing to find a reasonable general manager candidate for a private automobile company, and they thought that Wei Changhui's conditions were very suitable, and offered an attractive treatment of an annual salary of 2 million plus option incentives.

"Mr. Wei, professional managers are more valuable the more they jump, maybe you can create the next China Group with your own hands"

As soon as he heard that he was persuaded to change jobs, Wei Changhui interrupted the other party without listening to it, and loudly announced that he would not change jobs.

"I have no interest in working for others, I only mess with Mr. Han in this life! ”

didn't even bother to ask who the new employer was, Wei Changhui hung up the phone directly.

As a participant who witnessed the development of Zhonghua Group step by step, Wei Changhui had long been determined to follow Han Hao to complete his dream of founding a world-class automobile company, and there was no second person who could have Han Hao's personal charm to follow.

"Hey, Zotye Automobile's place of work is also in Zhehai, and if you are not satisfied with the treatment, you can talk about it again."

The headhunter wanted to continue to persuade him, but he didn't expect that Wei Changhui had already hung up the phone, and there was no room for accommodation at all.

After making a lot of money in real estate, Zotye Auto plans to recruit troops and rush out of Zhejiang Province, relying on the industrial cluster formed by Zhonghua Group, and the difficulty of making cars has decreased a lot.

Wei Changhui is the preferred target of the owner of Zotye Auto, and he has a strong management ability due to his continuous rotation within the Chung Hwa Group. Unexpectedly, Wei Changhui had no interest in leaving at all, and directly made the other party die.

Zotye Auto's poaching work against the Chung Hwa Group was difficult to achieve, and capable talents were reluctant to leave the thriving Chung Hwa Group to go to a private enterprise whose name was unknown, and finally only a few ran to defect under the salary level of three times.

The longer I get along with Han Hao, the more I can appreciate the young boss's expertise of knowing people and being good at things, he controls the overall situation, and then lets go of things to people who are good at handling things.

Every day, hundreds of millions of funds are in and out of the accounts of the Zhonghua Group, and the flow of these funds is handled by Yin Qingxun with a pen, and he has the right to dismiss the irrational expenditure of the company's boss Han Hao.

But Yin Qingxun's biggest feeling is inclusivity, working in Zhonghua Group, where there are global elites, many of whom have different concepts and experiences, so it takes great inclusiveness to integrate everyone and strive for the same goal. Han Hao has the skills to let everyone work around him, showing great open-mindedness and tolerance, which is the greatest personal ability.

Since getting married and having children, Han Hao has more smiles on his face, smiling at the world's affairs like Maitreya Buddha, showing a wider range of inclusiveness. When many suppliers attended the meeting with Han Hao for the first time, they found that some senior executives within the Zhonghua Group dared to directly express different opinions with Han Hao at the meeting, and there was no hierarchy in the discussion of facts. Such a relaxed atmosphere is not available in any car company in China, no wonder Zhonghua Group can quickly become the domestic boss.

Yin Qingxun boldly asked Han Hao if he had obtained any martial arts cheats, and his personal realm internal skills had been improved again?

"Every day when I go home, I can't move to accept the trial, and I am tossed a lot by the kid at home, so I naturally develop an immovable temperament.

Compared to babies who cry irregularly and don't know how to express their emotions, our adult world is more traceable. ”

When he went home, he took over the responsibility of feeding and changing diapers, and he didn't expect Han Hao to extract new cognition from his father's experience, which made Yin Qingxun cry out magically.

Back at work, when checking procurement costs recently, Yin Qingxun found that the group's prices for large items such as steel and paint have soared, and the price has more than doubled compared with the same period last year.

This does not bode well, and the higher the cost, the less profitable the company is, and the higher the cost, the higher the profit, and the high cost starts to squeeze the company's profits.

China's economy has become the world's factory, consuming most of the world's resources, and 10% of the world's oil, 32% of steel, 48% of cement and other commodities have been swallowed up by the dragon of the East.

As a result, Chinese is expensive to buy, and the price of any commodity that has Chinese demand is rising. The most typical is iron ore, before China joined the TO, the CIF price was only 25 US dollars per ton, and in 2006, the price has increased several times to 150 US dollars a ton. Every year, China's steel enterprises have to accept the "alliance under the city" of the three major ore companies to raise prices, and China is a typical representative of people who are stupid and have a lot of money.

The prices of commodities such as oil, iron ore, rubber, and non-ferrous metals are rising, and Yin Qingxun, who is rich in life experience, smells a different smell from it. He believes that the price of assets has risen irrationally, and global assets are beginning to be overvalued. Prices in the market have gone off track and are no longer a reflection of the real demand in the market.

After the carnival, the cold air of the economic crisis is moving south, and Yin Qingxun said that the Zhonghua Group must avoid the risk of commodities financially. Don't overstock raw materials when prices are high, start to purposefully adjust the procurement plan, force it to change to 30 days with a half-year settlement cycle, and produce on demand based on market-oriented rather than blindly expanding the scale of stockpiling.

"You can sell a large part of your personal assets and sell them for a good price when they are overvalued. After the price correction in the future, you can buy them back at a low price, and strategize between one in and one out.

Li Shoufu, a Chinese man, is a master of buying low and selling high, and he often uses the economic cycle to adjust his asset allocation, selling at the highest price and buying back at the lowest price. As a result, his net worth has not shrunk after each economic crisis, but has increased significantly. ”

Yin Qingxun suggested that Han Hao began to purposefully allocate his assets to hedge against risks, and the economic cycle is coming. The global economy is overheating, and there will soon be a self-regulating bubble.

Han Hao acknowledges that the rising commodity price is indeed overheating, but he is not so sure about the term economic crisis. When it comes to such macroeconomic judgments, the first thing he thinks of is still his mentor Hu Yiming.

This time, Hu Yiming did not give a direct answer, but recommended to Han Hao a person who has a lot of insight in the study of macroeconomics, especially the economic crisis.
