051: The embarrassment of the third car
Pulling Huaxing and Huaxin Company on the right track, Zhao Tiancai really relieved his big responsibility and cleared up.
For the recent business development of the group, fortunately, the assistant Yao Guo is an accountant, and his various businesses and data management are more concise and clear, so that Zhao Tian has also wasted a lot of brain cells to analyze them one by one.
In the development of various businesses, the proportion of electrical business in the whole group is still in the lead, leaving only a legendary back for other business aspects.
In the profit statistics of the whole quarter, the proportion of electric companies reached more than 80%.
It can even be said unceremoniously: except for the electrical business, other businesses are money-losing goods!
Of course, the car business is somewhat profitable.
According to the sales performance of the second 'Cosmic Walker', which is the main product in the current market, the total sales volume in the second quarter exceeded 100,000 units, and the profit value is conservatively estimated to be about 1.5 billion yuan after deducting various expenses.
Based on such sales, the annual profit valuation of the automobile business will be more than 5 billion.
This seems to be a gratifying data, but before Zhao Tianxin eased up, he saw another data given by Yao Guo, who was an accountant and was calculating: investment in automobile research and development.
At present, the investment in the third model alone has exceeded 1.5 billion, and even if it is put into production in the future, there will definitely be a lot of capital expenditure; if you add the original 'Space Walker's entire investment in research and development expenses of 2.3 billion, I am afraid that the current automobile business income, even 'self-insurance' can not be supported.
And that's not the worst of it.
When Zhao Tian saw that Yao Guo's statistics showed:
New energy vehicles (cosmic investment): 800 million, no production capacity;
Huaxing Company (Universe Investment): 2.5 billion, no production capacity;
Huaxin Company (Universe Investment): 6 billion, no production capacity;
…
…
Zhao Tian was no longer able to complain.
He is already very fortunate at this time, thanks to the support of the electric company, otherwise the Universe Group is now like a grasshopper after the autumn, I am afraid that it will not be able to die anymore.
What is particularly shocking is that the experience store supporting the after-sales system of the automobile business has now opened to the fifteenth, and in addition to the original investment and construction cost of hundreds of millions, each store needs to spend close to 10 million yuan per quarter, which makes people frown after reading it.
The day-to-day costs of the experience store are fixed, and it is impossible to reduce them unless they are closed. If we want to offset, we can only hope that the increase in the volume of ordinary business will offset the benefits generated.
But the key is now in terms of the number of cars in the universe group, and it will take a long time to complete it to reach such a level.
With the successive opening of experience stores, the related costs will also rise, and when the experience store reaches a certain level, it will inevitably become a large source of capital consumption in the group.
With such a bad momentum of development, Zhao Tian must not sit idly by.
Although the original intention of agreeing to the opening of the experience store was mainly to shorten the distance between him and consumers, so that sales would become a beautiful thing of 'willingness, love and me, and no guessing', but when this beautiful feeling gradually deteriorated, it was necessary to make corresponding changes.
Zhao Tian's solution is to increase the number of automobiles and expand the production of automobiles.
Now all the worries are that the revenue is not enough to support the expenditure, and if we solve it from the source of income, other problems will naturally not be so acute.
In addition, among the main types of production businesses registered by the Cosmos Group, the automobile business was included as the main item. Now the total assets have been tens of billions of dollars, and the annual car sales can exceed 10 billion.
It's like a good brothel, but it tells people that it is engaged in services.
With the idea of expanding the car category, Zhao Tian remembered the third model that had been in development for a long time. At the beginning, when the 'Cosmic Walker' was still in the research and development period, at the suggestion of Lao Chang, Zhao Tiandang allocated funds for Lu Xiangfei to set up the project.
Up to now, half a year has passed, more or less, there should be some eyebrows.
Without thinking too much, he asked Yao Guo to call the office of the R&D department in the Universe Building and inform Lu Xiangfei to come and report to work.
Unfortunately, when he replied, Lu Xiangfei was in the R&D center where the early Cosmos Group was located.
And in another reply, Lu Xiangfei has not appeared in the office of the Universe Building for several months, and has been staying at the R&D center.
As soon as he heard this, Zhao Tian casually picked up the car keys on the table and was about to go to the R&D center.
But before he reached the door, he paced back again.
It turned out that he remembered that when he was ordered to develop the third model, he promised to let Lu Xiangfei design and develop it independently, and he would never give any intervention.
Just like when he was in the second 'Cosmic Walker', he also said such a thing, but after he watched it once, he asked Lu Xiangfei to lead the team to make a big change.
If he checked it again this time, Zhao Tian was worried that he would not be able to help it, and pointed at it like last time.
Besides, this time he swore that he would not interfere again, and if he was sabotage, he was afraid that his prestige would be damaged.
Although it seems that there has never been any prestige...
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Tian finally asked for a face, threw the car keys on the desk, dialed Lu Xiangfei's mobile phone number casually, and silently thought in his heart that he only asked about the progress, and did not ask anything else.
But when there were seven or eight long 'beep' tones on the phone, Zhao Tian was a little dumbfounded.
muttered: "Ma Dan, I didn't answer the phone." ”
At this moment, Lu Xiangfei was in a special laboratory, engrossed in watching a model of automobile clay that was being tested, and at the same time frowned at the data obtained, seemingly very dissatisfied.
It's no wonder that he is not satisfied, the wind resistance value of this clay model alone is more than 30 points higher than that of the second 'Cosmic Surfer', and if it is a finished product, I am afraid that the data will be higher.
The model of the 'Cosmic Walker' is similar to the 'SUV' type of high windshield model, and in comparison with such data, Lu Xiangfei is going crazy.
This is how he has been unstoppable for several months, and after more than a dozen plans have been changed, he still gets such unacceptable data, how can it not make people feel explosive.
Coupled with the initiative of the third model, Zhao Tianke gave him full authority at the beginning, and in the past few months, he has not interfered in the slightest.
At the same time, he was holding his breath, wanting to prove himself, at least to make people feel that he was capable of building good cars.
But the reality is like standing in the cold wind in pants, saying 'not cold' in his mouth, but his legs that are shaking into chaff are very honest.
As for Zhao Tian's call, Lu Xiangfei had set a rule in all front-line posts: all personnel are prohibited from carrying mobile phones.
Naturally, it is impossible to receive a call from Zhao Tian. ()
