005: A new challenge for funding

After the clay model is made, it is basically a freeze-frame shape of a new car.

The next thing to be completed is the more cumbersome engineering design stage, which is also commonly referred to as digital analog construction in the industry.

Engineering design is the process of detailed design of the whole vehicle, and each assembly structure is distributed to different departments for design and development. Each step is divided into: general layout design, body modeling data, engine engineering design, body-in-white engineering design, chassis engineering design, interior and exterior engineering design, electrical engineering design, etc.

That is to say, every part of the car needs the relevant departments to design and develop or find parts that are in line with the general layout of the car under the condition of conforming to the general arrangement.

After the design of these assembly systems, the engineering design phase is considered to be completed, so as to confirm the design of the whole vehicle. At this time, you can start to compile a detailed product technical specification, as well as a detailed list of parts and components, and after passing the inspection, the production technology of each assembly will be sorted out and synthesized.

At this time, a car is basically built, but the car built at this time can only be regarded as a prototype.

After each prototype is built, it must be repeatedly tested to ensure the performance of the new car.

The general test styles mainly include wind tunnel test, proving ground test, road test, crash test, etc.

When these tests are completed, the test data in all aspects can reach the set reasonable value, and the prototype trial production stage can be carried out.

When the above four preparatory stages are properly prepared and completed, a new car will enter the formal mass production stage from project approval to production.

Before the mass production of a new model, the production equipment in the production workshop must be properly prepared, the production line must be laid, and other corresponding raw materials and parts must be fully prepared to ensure the normal mass production of a car.

Wei Jianping's mouth was dry at the end, so he reluctantly introduced the general process of building a car, Zhao Tian was already confused, how to build a car is more than the rules for marrying a daughter-in-law.

After a while, Zhao Tiancai slowly reacted, his eyes rolled around and said: "This car really needs professional talents, Lao Wei, I really didn't mistake you." The future of our ZT company depends on you. ”

Wei Jianping didn't know why, Zhao Tian suddenly answered and said these words of commendation, what does it have to do with the newly designed models discussed at the beginning, but Zhao Tian continued: "If you encounter any problems in the future, you must say it, yes, you must tell Lao Chang, he understands this better, and I will be busy first." ”

Saying that, before Wei Jianping could react, Zhao Tian had already disappeared.

Wei Jianping: "......"

After a while, he reacted, no, he said a lot of things just now, isn't it just to let the boss face up to the difficulty of building a car, so as to solve the current dilemma together, how to talk and disappear.

Zhao Tian's hurried departure naturally made sense. He was already frightened by the large number of processes that Wei Jianping said. According to Zhao Tian's own thoughts: "I'll give you the creativity and technology, you just look at it yourself, why say such a scary and troublesome process." ”

When Zhao Tian cooperated with other companies to build cars a few times ago, he basically provided good technology and creativity, and the car seemed to come out in a short time, so why did he need so many steps when he got here.

With a feeling of being troubled and frightened, Zhao Tian found Lao Chang again.

After listening to what Zhao Tian said, Lao Chang nodded and said: "There is no problem with what Director Wei said, these are the departments and serious car-making processes that an automobile manufacturer needs, don't you know before?"

Asked again, Zhao Tian can imagine how depressed he was, and said sullenly: "Then when I cooperated with your company before, a car was not as complicated as I said." ”

Lao Chang laughed when he heard this, this was the first time he laughed so happily when he came to ZT Company, and said happily: "Mr. Zhao, don't be funny, how many years has our company developed, these necessary departments and equipment have already been formed." Moreover, our R&D team of BYD has already exceeded more than 10,000 people. We are just starting out at ZT, and there are still many things that need to be done. ”

Zhao Tian stopped talking, it seems that he himself thought too simple about building a car before.

Then he said, "How much worse is our company's department now?"

Speaking of this, the smile that he had always hung quickly faded, and he frowned: "I was about to discuss this issue with you and Mr. Li." ”

Zhao Tian saw that Lao Chang's face was serious, and he was afraid that things were in trouble, so he hurriedly asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Lao Chang said: "There have always been difficulties, but the formation of various technical departments is the most difficult of the difficulties." Judging from our current situation, if we recruit through normal channels, I am afraid that it will take three or five years to really set up these technical departments, so I plan to discuss this matter with you and Mr. Li. ”

As soon as he heard that it would take such a long time to build the technical department, Zhao Tian's face immediately fell, and he said helplessly: "For such a long time, I'm afraid that the won't be hot at that time, isn't there any solution?"

Lao Chang ignored the black miasma in Zhao Tian's words, and replied: "There is a way, but the capital is relatively high." ”

It's just that I often have a general understanding of ZT now, and this method is also what they used before BYD, digging talents, it's nothing more than casting a wide net and recruiting widely, and the strongest way is, of course, to take money and smash it.

As soon as he heard that there was a way, Zhao Tian was overjoyed, and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Lao Chang sighed, he did not have enough confidence in ZT's funds, and said: "The fastest and most efficient way now is to take out a sum of money, find a professional headhunting company, and promise heavy money to the newly recruited technicians, which is more time-saving from the perspective of time." ”

This method was often used when I was at BYD. However, compared with the current ZT company, BYD's predecessor was an industrial company, and its own funds are abundant enough to think about developing new business for automobiles, and money is naturally no problem.

However, from the time he took over to help manage ZT's automobile production base, he knew that if ZT was a technology supply company, it would definitely have plenty of funds. But now when it comes to the business of automobile production, the money seems to be much worse.

Because the current automobile production base built by ZT company can only be regarded as very small, even if it is so, it is almost weaned in terms of funds, how can you expect Zhao Tian to come up with more money.
