Chapter 0747 Electrification
On September 14, this year's Frankfurt Motor Show officially kicked off.
As Zhou Jingming and others expected, Tianming Group has really become one of the most sought after exhibitors at the auto show, especially the three Hongmeng on display, which is the most concerned car in the entire exhibition hall.
"I thought it was very good on TV a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be even cooler than on TV when I actually looked at it!"
"Is this the fastest production car out there? ”
"I don't know what the price is, maybe I can afford it?"
…………
Every visitor has not been impressed by Hongmeng, although so far, Tianming Group has not officially announced the price of this car, but this does not affect everyone's reverie about this car.
In addition to Hongmeng, Tianming Group's show cars this time are far more than this, Bugatti, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce concept cars, as well as new cars such as Kirin Explorer, all of which were unveiled at this auto show, which can be called the most luxurious exhibitors in this auto show.
The Rolls-Royce concept car on display this time is the first new car built by Tianming Group after taking over Rolls-Royce, and this car will also compete with Bentley for the identity of the designated car for the anniversary celebration of the Queen's accession to the throne.
Counting the Bugatti plant under construction, the three major brands currently acquired by Tianming Group are all on a normal development track and are one step closer to recovery.
It is precisely because there are so many new cars on display that Tianming Group can be said to be more flowering, and the explosion of popularity has also promoted the growth of sales.
On the third day after the start of the Frankfurt Motor Show, Zhou Jingming and Xu Weidong packed up their things and prepared to leave.
However, the two did not return to China directly, but first went to South America to inspect the operation of the South American branch, and then returned to China from Brazil.
After more than a year of development, Tianming Group has finally gained a firm foothold in the South American market, and its market share is gradually growing, and its sales in South America are about to catch up with the scale of Tianming Group in Southeast Asia.
In addition, in Southeast Asia, as the financial crisis subsides, Tianming Group has gradually resumed sales there, and has reached a cooperation agreement with the Thai government to start building a factory in Bangkok.
Although the financial crisis has set back the economy of Southeast Asia for many years, the more you invest at this time, the more preferential conditions you get, which is of great benefit to Tianming Group to restore its position in the Southeast Asian market.
On the contrary, Toyota, which was very aggressive before, is estimated to have been bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, so far it is only a small-scale sales business in Southeast Asia, and it has not returned to Southeast Asia so boldly as Tianming Group, for fear that this is a trap for them by Tianming Group.
In this way, in addition to Africa, Tianming Group has completed the deployment of factory construction on major population gathering continents, which provides an important link for Tianming Group's global strategic layout.
After the inspection of the South American branch, Zhou Jingming and Xu Weidong returned to China.
On the domestic side, although I was not able to see the live broadcast of the speed battle between Hongmeng and the Raptor fighter, Tianming Group also inserted some important pictures in the advertising of this car for the first time, coupled with various reports from foreign media, the domestic people also learned about Hongmeng's majestic posture for the first time.
Moreover, Hongmeng broke the speed record held by Lamborghini and Bugatti and became the new fastest production car, which made the Chinese people feel excited, after all, Hongmeng is the first domestic sports car, but it can surpass a world brand like Bugatti, which is a great gift at the end of the century for the domestic automobile industry.
The day after returning to China, Zhou Jingming called Zhao Ke and Wang Yuanchao to his office.
"How are the preparations for Hongmeng's new car launch?" After the two came, Zhou Jingming asked Zhao Ke directly.
"The press conference has been presided over by Lao Chen according to your requirements, and now it is ready, just waiting for October 1st. Zhao Ke replied.
With the debut of the Frankfurt Motor Show, this time Hongmeng's new car launch conference is actually not very fresh, so the preparation is not as cumbersome as the previous new cars.
In addition, the reason why the new car launch conference was presided over by Chen Zhenyu is because on October 1, Zhou Jingming will be invited to participate in the National Day Celebration on that day, and at this celebration, Zhou Jingming will participate in the float parade as a representative of the "Outstanding Entrepreneur of the 50th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China".
In the automobile industry, Zhou Jingming is the only one who has won this award, which also reflects the affirmation of his contributions over the years.
"By the way, has the Hongqi R50 produced in Kru County been delivered to FAW?" Zhou Jingming thought of this and hurriedly asked.
This car is specially ridden by the leader, and there must be no problems in any aspect.
"Don't worry, who dares to be careless about this kind of thing? It has been handed over to FAW, and all of them are produced according to the highest specifications. Zhao Ke replied.
Hearing Zhao Ke say this, Zhou Jingming breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to ask, "What about the F1 car, when will the development work be completed?"
Seeing that this year is coming to an end, if the car is not ready, it will affect next year's race.
"The body parts are ready, and now there is only Xiao Wang's engine left. ”
"We did a reinforcement of the engine's materials in July, so it took a little delay, but by mid-October, we would definitely be able to complete the testing of the engine. Speaking of the engine, Wang Yuanchao also hurriedly replied.
"Good. That's where the racing thing comes first. Zhou Jingming nodded, "I called you here today to arrange the key direction of our group's work next year, or the next ten years." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Ke and Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but sit upright, they had worked with Zhou Jingming for so long, and it was the first time they heard Zhou Jingming use words like the next ten years to describe a job.
It is clear that this work is certainly very important.
"Third brother, do you remember the research topic of new energy vehicles that I told you before?" Zhou Jingming asked with a smile.
"Of course I remember, you asked me to prepare early, I have organized a group of interested engineers to understand this field, and also invited experts in this field to give them professional training, but the project has not yet been officially established. Wang Yuanchao hurriedly replied.
A few months ago, when Zhou Jingming went to Gusu, he did tell Wang Yuanchao about this matter, and Zhou Jingming personally instructed him, Wang Yuanchao naturally did not dare to be careless, and began to prepare within the powertrain company early.
"Well, now that you've all understood, it's much easier for me to say. In the coming period, the Group's main development strategy is electrification among the four modernizations of automobiles. Zhou Jingming looked at the two and said.
