024: Difficult period for funding
Regarding the crash incident, although the external image of the Universe Group has always been very tough.
But in fact, I know my own bitterness.
The auto business, which was originally booming, has had to plummet by at least 60 percent in revenue because of this time, although now that the incident has passed, there are signs of recovery.
But the illness came like a mountain, and the illness went like a thread, and compared with the original Waterloo-style business decline, this recovery was too slow.
But the group still needs to develop, and development requires a large amount of money.
Facing the current state of affairs of the group, Zhao Tian couldn't help but feel a deep headache.
Huaxin Company still has less than two or three months to go, and it needs the Universe Group to inject the 4.5 billion yuan of funds signed at the beginning; the third model has already been approved, and now after the plan is formed, it needs to inject funds to complete the follow-up matters.
In addition, the 'room sharing policy' has been formulated, and the special person who let Wu Yan go to find the plan has also been done, and if it is to be implemented, it will require a lot of funds.
Not to mention the matter of auto parts, until now Zhao didn't realize that these inconspicuous small accessories and the like burn money no less than those core components.
Up to now, the actual investment has exceeded 700 million yuan in the dozen or so accessories prepared for the 'Cosmic Walker', which translates into nearly 100,000 cars that have been sold, and almost each of them needs to consume about 7,000 costs.
You must know that the cost of the original design of the 'Cosmic Walker' vehicle is only about 40,000 yuan, and now because of these dozen accessories, the original cost has been increased by at least 20%.
Such a situation made Zhao Tian, who has never been stingy with money, feel painful.
Even if a considerable part of the capital investment in the research and development of accessories has been converted into fixed equipment and technology accumulation, and even with the increase in the number of automobile production, the cost will gradually decrease.
However, judging from the fact that only a dozen accessories need to consume so much investment, it is no wonder that most domestic car companies would rather purchase from foreign auto parts companies at a high price than invest in research and development, after all, the investment in the early stage is too huge.
If you look at it according to this cost, tens of thousands of parts of the whole car will have to come down without investing hundreds of billions and eighteen, and I am afraid it will be difficult to hold up the situation.
Besides, looking at the domestic car companies, it seems that none of them has such strength.
It is no wonder why all car companies in Huaxia would rather be slaughtered silently than struggle.
I can't afford to struggle...
However, for Zhao Tian, when he tore his face with Magna In., he would definitely not regret anything.
As a tough man who and with his face outward, he will only use his hands to create his dignity.
In the face of the current situation of insufficient funds in the group, Zhao Tian had no choice but to make decisions one by one based on the principle of prioritization.
In the face of several projects with funding gaps, he now puts Huaxin's business in the first place.
Because from the perspective of the scale of capital, Huaxin Company accounts for the largest proportion, once there is a delay, the damage caused by interests is incomparable to other projects.
In addition, after Huaxin Company enters the third phase of the construction period, it will soon be put into operation, and at that time, with the performance of 'Loongson', at least part of the stable revenue can be guaranteed.
In fact, more importantly, in all the current automobile business of the Universe Group, not to mention the import of vehicle parts, even the engines with independent property rights, more than half of the engine parts, are 'imported'. If anything like Magna In. happens, Zhao Tian will lose his temper, and I am afraid that the car business of the Universe Group will come to a standstill.
In the original planning and design of Huaxin Company, there was not only an overall power R&D center, but also other scientific research projects, and the most important thing is that Huaxin Company built a corresponding engine parts R&D center and production line.
Basically, all the items of the engine in the 'four major parts' of the car are included.
Once Huaxin is put into operation as planned, at least within a certain range, some car companies in Huaxia can truly enjoy the complete localization of the 'heart of the car'.
Of course, this is Zhao Tian's beautiful vision in his heart at present, but after the research and development of other accessories, he began to be a little worried.
Those things that seem 'small' are really not very 'small'.
What's more, Zhao Tian has a preliminary understanding of the seriousness of auto parts.
Imitation or imitation can solve temporary problems, but in the longer term, it has great limitations.
The technology of the automobile industry seems to be complex and orderly, and there are traces to follow, but in many technologies, it takes a long time to accumulate technology and experience in order to create higher quality products.
At present, there are too many deficiencies in related enterprises and talents in Huaxia.
Although Huaxia also has a history of decades of automobile industry development, but after the later economic reform, especially the 'joint venture' model of technological development, although the automobile industry has also made a certain rapid development.
However, for the technical mastery of many basic classes, it is not satisfactory.
Especially later, many car companies were affected by the 'global economic integration' model and began to make full use of the 'global supply chain' to purchase the required products, which greatly damaged the progress of basic technology.
So much so that it has fallen to the present, and the seemingly prosperous automobile industry has hidden too much humiliation.
Once the 'global supplier' is out of stock, I am afraid that many car companies will be fatally hit.
This situation is not only recognized by Zhao Tian, but also by those established car companies with decades of development experience.
It's just that in the mode of 'profit-driven survival, survival depends on profit', many people have begun to selectively ignore this problem, and it is even more naïve to hope that there will be no out-of-stock.
As for whether that kind of situation will occur, Zhao Tian will not care, he only thinks about it now, first arrange all the business of Huaxin Company.
According to the remaining 5.7 billion available funds on the group's books, it is okay to pay for Huaxin's investment, but there will not be much left later.
After two months, plus other revenues and expenses, after allocating funds to Huaxin Company, the group can only have about 3 billion funds left at most.
Although Zhao Tian has always wanted to take out a part of the working capital as the group's 'reserve funds' to be idle, to deal with emergencies such as 'crashes' and ensure the normal operation of the company.
However, with the current rapid development model, it is really difficult to save, and it can only be postponed indefinitely.
In view of the fact that the remaining funds were not clear after paying Huaxin's investment, Zhao Tian had no choice but to sit down and decide, and Cosmos Group once again entered a 'difficult period of funds'. ()
