Just when Liang Yu was ready to enjoy his new high school career, after more than half a month of intense discussion and deliberation, BYD finally decided to add 20 large-scale comprehensive business departments - intelligent automobile industry department in addition to the original 19 business divisions, to be responsible for the development and manufacturing of intelligent vehicles. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The specific scope will involve the production and research and development of the whole vehicle, the design and manufacture of the corresponding parts and molds, and the application and assembly of the core electronic safety system, etc., which is not only to separate and integrate the parts related to the intelligent automobile industry in other business divisions before, but also to formally establish the company's main development direction of intelligent vehicles in the future, so that it can be rapidly expanded on the basis of the original backbone organization members.

In this regard, anyone with a bit of a forward-looking vision can reach a consensus that with the breakthrough of artificial intelligence technology, smart cars with safety, controllability, and convenient performance will become popular in the future.

So, the only question left is that the production base of this new division will be located in that location.

"For the cities in the inland provinces, I express my clear opposition, obviously, the conditions in the coastal areas are more suitable, whether it is logistics costs, or market capacity, which can facilitate our products to quickly open up sales channels and shorten the direct feedback time with the market. After all, it is a brand new product, and those who have been used for many years of mature technology can not be compared, if its reliability can not be guaranteed, in order to avoid the product problems caused by the market bad reaction, it will be a good way to carry out after-sales maintenance services for them nearby. ”

"But the cost of land will not be a big piece, with the current economic level of the coastal areas, the early stage of land acquisition and development and subsequent production and construction will be a very large investment, easy to cause a backlog of funds, in case the sales revenue of smart cars is not as expected, it is a lot of risk for the company. Relatively speaking, the tax breaks and subsidies offered in the inland areas to attract large projects are still very tempting, and we can also use this as a bargaining chip to obtain more local policy support and bank loans. ”

This is a point of contention between the top management and the board.

Since its development, BYD has successively distributed a large number of automobile industries in the industrial parks of Pengcheng, Chang'an, Yanjing, Modu, Longchuan, Xingcheng and Qujiang, forming a complete industrial chain combination integrating R&D and design, mold manufacturing, vehicle production, sales and service.

However, unfortunately, as a cutting-edge domestic independent brand in the automobile industry, rooted in independent research and development and technological innovation, BYD, compared with those joint venture brands, the strength is still relatively weak, and the relevant industrial systems established in the past are built with the local automobile supply system, and do not have their own center of gravity, which is relatively scattered. In addition to a breakthrough in new energy vehicles, a few months ago just a small test to start the construction of Huiji new energy vehicle industrial park, so far, there is no own large-scale automobile industrial park center in China.

Therefore, whether it is for the sake of the future development of the enterprise, we must concentrate on resource advantages and strive to enhance industrial competitiveness; Considering that this is an industrial development project that the state focuses on, without a sufficiently complete and detailed plan, it is difficult to win the qualification for smart car production from many competitors, which forces BYD to make changes and truly establish an automobile industry supporting park with its own brand as the main body.

Such a successful rule, which can immediately bring a higher level of enhancement effect to the enterprise, is an important project that is likely to be wasted in the previous investment, and naturally needs to be carefully verified by the BYD side and solicit opinions from many parties.

"Elder Sun, what do you think?"

Seeing that there was not much substantive progress in the debate, the chairman of the board of directors of BYD, who was sitting at the front of the table, asked, and everyone else in the room couldn't help but look at him.

Not to mention the status and fame of Academician Sun Fanglin in China, completely surpassing many business people present, only as the chief scientist of the Central Automotive Research Institute of BYD, there is no doubt that he has much more important voice and influence than most of the people present in this matter.

In fact, everyone represents the interests of their respective departments and their expectations for the future, and they all want to benefit directly or indirectly from this project. Therefore, after learning that the company will be a large-scale private manufacturing enterprise in China, to strive for the production qualification of smart cars, they are using their own relationships to carry out various bridging leads behind the scenes.

Don't look at the fact that they didn't specifically name them when they described their opinions, in fact, they already had a clear object of support, but because the time was really too hurried and urgent, even they knew the specific news for less than half a month. Therefore, as business people, although they don't care much about technology and R&D opinions in their hearts, they have to take Sun Fanglin, who can greatly influence the board of directors' decisions on this matter, seriously.

"Since Quanlin has already asked, then I will put forward a few points of my own."

Facing everyone's unusually concerned eyes, Sun Fanglin took a sip of the tea in the teacup in front of him, and did not shy away from expressing his opinion.

"First of all, as the world's leading artificial intelligence technology that has not been applied to physical operations before, the importance of this intelligent program that is the first of its kind in our country and contains breakthrough progress in artificial intelligence is self-evident. Even if we get a weakened version after castration, we must still take into account the principles of security and confidentiality in terms of specific application development and transformation. Chuanzuo and I have been to the magic capital, I think it must be very clear, this project has been involved in the Ministry of Defense and the Bureau of Science and Industry, if foreign companies and ZF institutions steal such important technical secrets, even if we BYD is now a big business, it is still inevitable to eat some hanging. ”

After listening to Mr. Sun's first opinion, those board members and senior management who tend to settle in coastal urban areas can't help but be impetuous.

This opinion is too ruthless!

Even if it doesn't hit their dead end, it's a very important position. If they lose or leak secrets of a commercial nature, as long as they are not really related to being implicated, as the company's top management, they will lose their positions at most and will be fined some money without pain. However, once such a case involves an important military secret item, even if it has little to do with them, the joint and several liability will be sentenced to at least a few years in prison.

Relatively speaking, even the board members and top management who tend to be inland are not happy at this time, everyone is in business, should they take the risk of going to jail?

And the old and young, Sun Fanglin, who was over seventy years old, saw the obviously stiff expressions on everyone's faces, and couldn't help but snicker in his heart for a while, and then didn't give others time to react, and continued to say the next opinion.
