Chapter 777: Father and Son Argue
"Son, you are often not in the capital during this time, so you are busy getting that Jili car? Is that small company very promising?" When Wang Jianguo was eating, he looked at his son, whom he had only met for half a month, and was a little puzzled.
How lazy his son is, he knows very well, the company's affairs are eager to be handed over to his subordinates to deal with, just check the accounts occasionally, and something is very wrong recently.
"Dad, Geely has a future, and the automobile industry is even more promising. I invested in Geely Automobile, and for the time being, I only participated in the shares, but I also invested in several technology research and development centers, which are the core assets. ”
During this time, the four technology R&D centers have made technological breakthroughs, although the breakthroughs are only international second-rate technologies, but they are considered to be successful in independent research and development, bypassing some technical barriers.
And with these foundations, it will be easier to improve later.
He didn't expect that the research and development speed of this technology would be so fast, and it seems that burning money still has a certain effect. The R&D centers of other car companies may conduct experiments in one direction at a time, but Wang Haoan can carry out several directions at the same time, and he is not afraid of mistakes, so he should rule out a wrong answer.
In fact, many technology research and development have some accidents. Because of theoretical derivation, sometimes there are many possibilities, and it is necessary to go through practical tests to know whether it is correct or not.
This practical test is the most money-burning.
And once the research and development is successful, the profits obtained are also extremely huge. For example, a breakthrough in engine technology, whether it is turbocharging effect or energy-saving and emission reduction effect, any one of which can make this engine have enough characteristics and be purchased by more car companies.
In the previous life, many of the domestic cars in Huaxia were purchased from Sanling or Hyundai engines, which belonged to the international second-rate technology, even if the technology was upgraded later, it was not considered an obsolete product, but it was still a second-rate product.
It can be a second-rate product, and the profits are also very lucrative.
Wang Haoan wants to seize these markets, master the core technology, and it is easy to acquire Jili Automobile in the future, or start again by himself.
As for now, didn't he also let Zhang Kun develop sales channels. There is a certain sales channel base, coupled with advertising and car performance, as long as you manage it carefully, the rise is a matter of one or two years.
"Son, you get so much, you don't invest less, are you sure you can make money with this? This is different from the clothing and food you made before, at that time you were a pioneer, ahead of others, but now there are many enterprises in front of you, there are state-owned enterprises, there are joint ventures, can you surpass it?"
Wang Jianguo remembers that his son said that the industry first formulates rules, and other enterprises can only develop under the rules set by the boss.
That Geely Automobile, now it's not even in the top ten in the industry, can others give you the opportunity to develop?
"Dad, there are indeed many large car companies in Huaxia, with an annual output of hundreds of thousands, and the overall production and sales of passenger cars in the Huaxia market this year will exceed two million, with Geely accounting for less than five percent. ”
"But you also said that there are many car companies in Huaxia, how much can they produce and sell? 200,000 units, or 300,000 units, how much more than us?"
"The gap between us is not difficult to bridge, and no one has an absolute advantage. Even the first few car companies are about the same in size. ”
"And this year, a joint venture with South Korea's Hyundai was set up in Beijing, and the direct investment of this company is claimed to be 2 billion US dollars, although it is certainly not that much, but it is more than 1.5 billion US dollars. ”
"Other car companies will also cooperate with other foreign car companies again to obtain more model technology licenses, so as to balance Beijing Hyundai Motor Company. ”
This means that this year's automotive industry may usher in a round of reshuffle, and it is not certain who will be the leader in the position. Are they willing to compete with us who are not in the top 10, or are they willing to compete for the position of the industry leader?"
"That's how we have the opportunity to catch up and close the gap. And I have an advantage that other car companies don't have, and that is capital. ”
"They need to support a lot of workers, many car companies are old enterprises, workers actually have a lot of redundancy, but also to hand over profits, they can invest in research and development, absolutely not as much as mine. ”
"And they are willing to invest more money in advertising, cost reduction, etc., which has the fastest effect. If they invest more money in technology research and development at this time, they may fall behind in this round of competition. ”
"Naturally, the front of the table didn't want to fall behind, we were already at the end, it didn't matter if we were slow to catch up, and when we got better, in the late stages of the game, they didn't have the strength to do it, and then we were overtaking them. ”
Wang Haoan is very confident in this, just because the technology research and development speed of Huaxia is faster than imagined, and the cost is lower than imagined, he is confident that the car company will develop.
Who said that private enterprises must be inferior to state-owned enterprises? Who said that private car enterprises cannot catch up with them?
Wang Jianguo shook his head: "What you said is true, why am I still not at ease? Are you sure that this automobile industry can develop very well? How many people are buying cars now? It would be good if one person in a hundred people has a private car, and I will double it for you in the city, two out of a hundred people have a car, how much can you sell?"
"Dad, think about it, when the bicycle first came out, how many people had a bicycle?
"When motorcycles came out, how many people bought them, and now? Everyone has more and more money in their pockets, and they are more and more willing to buy things, and in the past two years, the number of people who are willing to buy things will increase rapidly. ”
Because in the past two years, China's economy has grown rapidly, but housing prices have not risen much. Many people really have money in their pockets, with a deposit of 180,000 yuan, it is not difficult to grit their teeth and buy a car, especially when they see that Jili cars are so cheap, less than 80,000 yuan.
In the future, it seems that the price of cars will be relatively cheaper, but how many people are tied up by mortgages, where are they willing to buy cars? Now it is different, most people do not have mortgages, and the pressure is relatively less.
"No, no, no, more people are buying motorcycles now. By the way, didn't you still get that electric bicycle, and Xiao Guo also got a motorcycle, this is in competition with your car, right?"
Wang Jianguo shook his head, what his son said was wrong.
"Dad, that means I've got all of their options for the future. And there's another important reason why I'm bullish on the automotive industry. ”
Wang Jianguo looked at his son curiously, what else is the reason?
"Dad, do you know what the pillar industries of our country are?"
