After a morning of hard work, the first supercharger station, a total of 10 charging piles, has finally been installed, and the next large-scale installation will be in full swing on June 1, ready for the launch of electric vehicles.

Tianming EP1 2

Because it is the first super charging station in China, the parking lot of Tianming Group headquarters also attracted a large number of citizens to come to watch, and the next day it was published in the newspapers of major media, which attracted the attention of many people.

After Zhou Jingming returned to the group, he also held a meeting for the first time to discuss the investment in the construction of a battery factory, and there was no objection within the group on this matter, and the board of directors quickly approved the project.

However, the project still ran into problems with its implementation - problems with funding.

"Chairman, I estimated the group's cash flow in the next few years, if the previously determined projects are implemented as planned, there may be a period of difficulties in cash flow, so I think that if you can, the group's listing can enter the next stage of preparation, after all, from the filing, to the formal IPO, there will be a period of waiting. ”

For this matter, Ma Xudong specially came to Zhou Jingming's office and suggested.

In recent years, despite the sharp increase in sales of Tianming Group, the development of a number of new cars and the revitalization of Rolls-Royce, Bugatti and Lamborghini also require a lot of capital investment.

And the best way to solve the problem of capital is to go public to raise funds.

"How did the preparations for the listing go on some time ago?" Zhou Jingming did not rush to make a statement, but asked.

"I have consulted with the investment bank on all the materials and related processes, and I am ready to submit the formal listing process. Ma Xudong replied.

Zhou Jingming frowned slightly, thought about it seriously, and then replied, "You go back and improve the content of the prospectus, when to submit the listing process, I will discuss it with you at that time." ”

Now that it has come to the time when you have to go public, then there is nothing to hesitate about, and when Zhou Jingming is ready, you can officially start the listing process of Tianming Group.

After the things on the Shencheng side were ready, Zhou Jingming urgently went to Gusu City to prepare for the construction of the battery factory, and Zhou Jingming decided to hand over the responsibility of Martin Eberhard and Cocconi to the two industry insiders, so he wanted to talk to them.

Koconi also just returned to Gusu yesterday, this time to the United States, he has already negotiated cooperation with a local battery factory, in the next two years, the battery factory will provide them with corresponding battery packs according to the requirements of Tianming Group.

"The board of directors of the group has officially approved the project of preparing for the establishment of a battery company, and I hope that the two of you can be responsible for the preparation of the company, but the responsibility I am talking about mainly refers to technical and engineering matters, you don't have to interfere, there will be someone who is specifically responsible, what do you think?" Zhou Jingming said after listening to Kocone's report.

After all, Coconi and Martin Eberhard are electrical experts, and they have had in-depth cooperation with battery factories, and they have given guidance on the construction of production lines and the introduction of production equipment, Zhou Jingming feels that he will be relieved.

"The chairman trusts us, and we are naturally obliged. Koconi said quickly.

"That is, in the early stage, the scale of the battery factory is not too large, I estimate that the sales of electric vehicles should not exceed 10,000 in the first year, but in the later stage, there may be a blowout growth. Martin Eberhard also said with a smile.

"In the first two years, I was able to sell 5,000 units a year, and I was already satisfied. Zhou Jingming waved his hand. General Motors only sold 2,000 electric cars in ten years, and even Tesla in the previous life did not sell much in previous years.

It was only in the later period of Tesla that sales really rose, and in 2019, Tesla achieved global sales of 367,500 units. According to Zhou Jingming's estimates, as long as the foundation can be laid in the first two years, Tianming Group's sales of pure electric vehicles will soon enter the level of 100,000 units.

"5,000 is definitely more than that, with the international reputation of Tianming Group, coupled with the design by me, I believe that this car will be a hit in the future, I said no more than 10,000, that is the most conservative estimate, even if it is more than 10,000 by then, there is nothing impossible. When Martin Eberhard heard this, he responded with a smile and a confident face.

"If that's the case, then I'll congratulate you in advance. When Zhou Jingming heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"Chairman, at present, this electric car has not been officially named, and it is still called by an internal code name, or you can think of a name. Martin Eberhard thought of this and said quickly.

"The name of the word...... Why don't you call it Tianming EP1?" Zhou Jingming thought for a moment, and then replied.

"Tianming EP1?Electric vehicle Pioneer?" Coconi wondered.

"Yes, that's what it means, the electric car pioneers. Zhou Jingming nodded with a smile. Su Ri'an Tianming Group is not the first company to engage in electric vehicles, but Tianming Group will definitely become the one that makes electric vehicles popular!

Therefore, using such a name to name the first electric car, Zhou Jingming feels that it is not impossible.

"I think it's good, as long as you have a name, the most important thing is the performance of the car itself. Martin Eberhard nodded as well.

"Okay, since that's the case, then give the name, and in the future, for the promotion of this car, use Tianming EP1 uniformly, and I will let the group send a document. As for the preparation of the battery factory, it is estimated that it will take some time to prepare, and I will inform you when I need your assistance. Zhou Jingming continued.

In this way, Tianming Group's first pure electric vehicle finally has an official name, and the project of preparing to build a battery factory has also begun to gradually enter the formal process.

On the other hand, on June 1, the installation of the first batch of 100 super charging stations of Tianming Group began to be carried out in the two cities of Shencheng and Jinling at the same time.

When the installation of the super charging station is in full swing, the electrification project team has finally waited for the processing of the first batch of five bodies, plus the rest of the assemblies that have been sent in the early stage, the project team can finally assemble and test the electric vehicle.
