065: Limitations of charging piles
Although Zhao Tian only gave a four-month deadline promise, it was far from meeting Zhang Datian's expectations.
But no matter what, now that people have already released their words, it is not good to press each other tightly.
Moreover, it seems that in Zhao Tian's eyes, he is quite dissatisfied with the mainstream 'mileage' on the market, and it seems that the Universe Group has better battery power technology.
It's just that all this is just speculation, Zhang Datian also decided to go back and investigate it first, it is true that he has a trump card in his hand, but he also has to find out the details of the Universe Group.
In this way, it is also possible to take more initiative in future cooperation.
Immediately, the class teacher returned to the court, waiting for the arrival of the appointed time.
After sending the personnel of Tianneng Group away, Wu Yan did not immediately return to start work, but wanted to ask Zhao Tian about his plan.
There were outsiders just now, although Wu Yan had doubts, but out of respect for Zhao Tian, he didn't ask directly.
It's just that now, he is a little uneasy in his heart.
After all, he has already communicated with Zhao Tian about new energy vehicles, and all the current business of the Universe Group is also the result of the discussion between everyone at the beginning.
Following Zhao Tian back to the office, Wu Yan asked when he entered the door: "Dong Zhao, have you agreed to cooperate with them in the business of new energy vehicles?"
Zhao Tian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and nodded again.
This stunned Wu Yan.
Without waiting for Wu Yan to ask, Zhao Tiandao: "When I talked with their group just now, I felt that the new energy vehicle cooperation project was more complicated than I imagined. ”
Wu Yan nodded, this is a fact, no project is simple.
Zhao Tiandao: "The reason why they were given a deadline is that after all, they had contact before, and Brother Li expressed great interest on his side, if we refuse directly this time, I am afraid it will affect our reputation." ”
"But four months later, if the new energy vehicle market is still the same as it is now, and our company does not have any related technology, isn't it still the same situation as it is now?" Wu Yan was a little worried, what he was worried about was still the strong voice attitude expressed by the Tianneng Group today.
Zhao Tian sighed and said: "So we are going to start preparing for new energy vehicles recently." ”
Wu Yan's face froze, he really couldn't keep up with Zhao Tian's brain circuit.
Without waiting for him to ask too much, Zhao Tiandao: "You go back first." ”
Wu Yan wanted to speak and stopped, but seeing that Zhao Tian didn't have much desire to speak, he answered and left the office.
Regarding the matter of new energy vehicles, Zhao Tian was not very concerned, and if he had ideas, it was just because of Li Minghao's positive attitude.
It was only later that in the decision of the senior management, the business of the Universe Group was adjusted and the focus of the automobile business was developed first, which had to make other businesses, including the new energy vehicle business, pause.
This time, Tianneng Group came unexpectedly, and Zhang Datian revealed that it was imperative for the new energy vehicle business, which made Zhao Tian a little tempted.
But what really made him decide what he wanted to do was the attitude of traditional Chinese entrepreneurs represented by Zhang Datian to pursue interests, which completely touched the string in Zhao Tian's heart.
There is nothing wrong with businessmen seeking profit.
But everything that takes profit as the first consideration is incompatible.
So Zhao Tian decided not only to do it, but also to do it with high standards, so that those who feel that there is chaos can take advantage of the chaos to make quick money, and stop it as soon as possible.
Although he does not know much about the technical standards of new energy vehicles, Zhao Tian understands the main factors that hinder the development of new energy vehicles.
Although consumers complain the most about battery life, in fact, the biggest problem is the supply of charging piles.
To put it bluntly, the infrastructure for new energy vehicles is far from reaching the problem of consumer habits.
As we all know, the average family car uses three or four hundred kilometers of fuel per tank, which is not much different from the current range of many pure electric new energy vehicles, but traditional gas stations are everywhere, and charging piles need to try their luck.
As for charging piles, they have not been able to be popularized for a long time due to various reasons such as efficiency, investment, returns, and policies.
At present, among the popular charging piles in the market, the total cost of each unit of charging pile investment is about 100,000.
Such a cost does not seem to be much, but in fact, the charging pile is based on its own charging efficiency, that is, the length of time, which discourages many businesses.
This is also a reflection of the immaturity of the technology.
Ordinary slow charging takes more than seven or eight hours, and high-efficiency fast charging piles also take more than ten minutes to dozens of minutes, which is several times worse than the traditional fuel filling efficiency, which is unacceptable to many people.
Moreover, if you consider the charging pile site alone, such a slow efficiency will inevitably require an extremely wide range of land.
In fact, the cost of land in most urban areas in China is prohibitive for most people.
In order to promote the popularization of new energy vehicles, it seems that these infrastructures must be considered first.
And from the national level, although the government has shouted the slogan of vigorously developing the new energy industry, and there are corresponding policy subsidy measures, but if it does not solve the infrastructure construction matter, I am afraid that it will be half the effort.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tian couldn't help but feel a little confused.
I'm afraid this is what is usually called 'caring is chaotic'.
If you want to do all this well, you must have sufficient funds.
This is what the Universe Group is most lacking at present.
After all, in the company, the majority of the company's revenue still comes from the electrical company. At present, there are already four electrical companies operating production, and the net profit generated every year is only six or seven billion, plus the other two that will be built in a few months, the total is just over 10 billion.
Such a profit situation is already considered to be a very top existence among China's domestic private enterprises.
But there is still a big gap in this money for the currently rapidly developing Universe Group.
At the beginning, Wu Yan proposed and everyone agreed, to focus on the development of the automobile business, also considering that after the automobile business opened up the situation, the return will be incomparable to the safety system.
Although the safety system is numerous, it is only an accessory on the car model, and the later it goes, the more limited the function it plays.
The problem of funds quietly came to Zhao Tian again.
