The three of them found a place to sit down, and the salesman didn't seem to be in a hurry to recommend the car in the store, but talked to them about electric cars. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"But electric car charging is very slow......," Li Yan said.

The salesman was very patient: "That was before, last year Tianxin Super launched a graphene battery, which is very fast to charge, and it only takes ten minutes to fully charge." Many electric vehicles now use this battery, including the Daystar SUV I just recommended to the two of you, which can last 1,300 kilometers on a 10-minute full charge, which is enough for you to drive from Shencheng to Beijing. ”

"So strong?" Yang Feng said in surprise.

"Yes, almost all the domestic cars on the market this year are this kind of battery. In contrast, imported electric vehicles are much worse. ”

"Imported cars are not as good as domestic cars?" Li Yanqi said.

"A lot of people don't believe me when they hear me say that, just like you, but it's true." The salesman smiled slightly, as if he was accustomed to such a reaction from customers, "Five years ago, except for Tianxin Automobile, there was almost no comparison between domestic and imported cars, but now the situation has changed." I don't dare to say about fuel vehicles, but I dare to pat my chest on electric vehicles and guarantee that domestic cars are definitely better than imported cars! ”

Yang Feng is a car fan, and after listening to the salesman's words, he thought about it for a while: "I remembered when you said this, and now the cars driven by my friends around me are all domestically made." ”

"It's not surprising that if you look at the cars running all over the street, 9 out of 10 cars used to be foreign brands, but now, there are at least 4 domestic cars out of 10, and in another three or five years, the number of domestic cars will be able to overtake foreign cars." The salesman said with inexplicable pride.

"Let's just talk about this electric car, Fuso's cars used to be very good, and they sold a lot all over the world, but their electric cars were shipped to China and couldn't be sold at all! Fuso uses their own developed batteries, which are incomparable to our Huaxia car batteries, with a range of less than 600 kilometers on a full charge. Six years ago, this data was very good, but now ......," the salesman shook his head disdainfully, "In the past, the most sold cars in our store were German cars, Fuso cars, and now they are all domestic cars!" ”

Yang Feng and Li Yan nodded while listening, although they seemed to understand in their hearts, they had accepted the salesman's point of view, that is, electric cars are good, and domestic electric cars are good.

"Not only the battery, but also other aspects of domestic cars have also made great progress, such as Geely, Chery, Great Wall these brands, I heard that they have received the technical help of Tianxin Automobile, and now the cars are getting better and better." The salesman recommended a few more cars to them.

"Of course, the best car now is the product of Penglai Automobile Company. Everyone knows that this company also belongs to Luyang, and their smart cars have created an era......"

"Smart cars? That's millions! Yang Feng sighed, as a car fan, how could he not know about smart cars? But Yang Feng just thinks about it, he and Li Yan have a combined monthly salary of no more than 30,000 yuan, and they can't afford to buy that kind of car at all.

"That's Ziweixing, I heard that Lu Yang is developing smart cars at civilian prices, only a few hundred thousand." The salesman said.

"Forget it, let's talk about these cars!" Li Yan planned their words, she was afraid that her husband would be attracted by the hundreds of thousands of smart cars in the other party's mouth, and then increase the budget for buying a car.

The salesman smiled slightly, knowing Li Yan's thoughts well: "Okay, two of you, please see, these cars are more cost-effective......"

Yang Feng and Li Yan's experience of buying a car is not an isolated case in China, and now in the eastern coastal areas, the penetration rate of electric vehicles has increased rapidly, five years ago, the proportion of electric vehicles was only 5%, and now, this number has increased to 38.5%, obviously in recent years, the new cars are mostly electric vehicles.

Shencheng has the highest penetration rate of electric vehicles, and now more than half of all household cars in the city are electric, and as for buses, they have been replaced with electric ones as early as three years ago. This is inseparable from Luyang's original electric vehicle pilot plan, with wireless charging stations all over the city, the promotion of electric vehicles in Shencheng is unusually smooth.

Market demand guides the direction of development, and seeing the increasing success of electric vehicles, major automakers in China have followed the trend and launched their own products. In this process, the Huaxia Electric Vehicle Alliance has played an important role. It has not only opened up the market for electric vehicles, but also cultivated several domestic electric vehicle brands, in addition to Tianxin Automobile, Chery, Geely, Great Wall, Brilliance, Lifan, JAC, etc. have all benefited from this change.

At home, domestic electric vehicles began to counterattack, and abroad, the Huaxia Automobile Corps also had a good record. Tianxin Automobile exported 1 million vehicles last year and sold more than 2.8 million vehicles worldwide, consolidating its position as one of the world's top 10 automakers. Chery and others are also vigorously expanding the international market, and in the field of electric vehicles, the gap between them and the world's top brands is not large, because of the technical support of Tianxin Automobile.

In order to help Huaxia Automobile, Luyang forbade Tianxin Super Energy to provide the top batteries for foreign cars, while Huaxia's electric vehicles do not have this restriction, so in terms of mileage, Huaxia Automobile is generally higher than foreign cars.

"Mr. Wang, the sales data for the first quarter of this year is out." Tianxin Auto, Wang Chuanfu's secretary walked into his office and handed him a report.

Wang Chuanfu glanced at it, in fact, he already knew it in his heart. In the first quarter of this year, Tianxin Automobile's global sales volume was 730,000, an increase of 12% over last year, which is a good start. However, Wang Chuanfu was not complacent about this, but was a little worried. Tianxin Automobile has been eating its old books in the past three years, relying on the technology left by Lu Yang at the beginning. Although Lu Yang is still the chairman of Tianxin Group, he basically doesn't care about things, let alone provide them with technology.

"Xiaoyu, inform Mr. Kang and ask him to come to my office." Wang Chuanfu put the report aside.

A few minutes later, Kang Maokun knocked on the door and entered. Kang Maokun is the current technical director of Tianxin Automobile, but he is not a descendant of Wang Chuanfu, but transferred from FAW.

"Mr. Wang, are you looking for me?" Kang Maokun was polite and unfamiliar.

"Mr. Kang, please take a seat." Wang Chuanfu poured a glass of water for the other party, "The sales in the first quarter of this year are good, and we are still the hegemon of the electric vehicle market." However, in times of peace, technological innovation is so fast, we can't always eat the old money. This time, I want to find out how our smart car research and development is? ”

Kang Maokun said: "Mr. Wang, the smart car project has been established for less than half a year, and the team is still in the run-in stage. ”

Wang Chuanfu said: "The team is still running-in? ”

Kang Maokun's face remained unchanged and nodded.

Wang Chuanfu's face flashed with anger, and quickly disappeared, he started from scratch so far, he has experienced many winds and waves, and he has seen all kinds of people, even if he is angry again, he can restrain himself.

"I heard that in the past three months, Mr. Kang has fired 27 employees?"

Kang Maokun said: "I have already explained this to the board of directors, these 27 employees do not meet the company's employment standards, and I am implementing the company's regulations." ”

"Bang!" Wang Chuanfu kept a calm face and slapped the table hard.

"Don't meet the company's employment standards? These people were personally recruited by Mr. Lu five years ago, and they are the best technical personnel in the company, how do you judge that they do not meet the company's standards? Wang Chuanfu said angrily.

Kang Maokun's face was as usual: "I naturally have my judgment. ”

"Your judgment? Can you tell me what your criteria are? The company put you in charge of the technical department, and in 6 months, the smart car project has not improved at all, but the technical team has been in constant trouble, should you have an explanation for me? ”

Kang Maokun said: "I have already explained these problems to the board of directors, Mr. Wang has questions, you can learn from the board of directors, if Mr. Wang is dissatisfied with me, you can also report to the board of directors." ”

Wang Chuan has a feeling of powerlessness, he is no stranger to people like Kang Maokun. This kind of bureaucratic enterprise management is the most troublesome thing, and it is more than enough to achieve and more to lose. However, the other party has a deep background, and it is not something he can move.

"Mr. Kang, do you know where the people you dismissed are now? Let me tell you, they were hired by Penglai Automobile Company with a high salary! Wang Chuanfu felt like he was playing the piano to the cow.

Hearing this, Kang Maokun was a little moved, but that's all.

"Looks like I should have gone to Penglai Island in the first place." Wang Chuanfu regretted it in his heart.

After the success of Tianxin Automobile, the outside world praised Wang Chuanfu a lot, but in the eyes of the public, no matter how much Wang Chuanfu contributed, it was definitely not as good as Lu Yang. Wang Chuanfu disagreed. He stayed in the mainland in order to prove that Tianxin Automobile can develop to this day, relying on him Wang Chuanfu.

Lu Yang's departure does not seem to have had any impact on Tianxin Automobile, which has always maintained rapid development in the past three years, and has an increasing share in the domestic and international markets. But Wang Chuanfu knew that these were all appearances, and this prosperity was only temporary, and it was also the legacy left by Lu Yang.

What made Wang Chuanfu most anxious was the bureaucratization of Tianxin Automobile's internal management, which seriously hindered the development of Tianxin Automobile. While they were stagnating, Tianxin Auto's opponents did not rest. Geely, the best performer in China, has sold more than one million this year and has opened up the European market by relying on electric vehicles, and these brands such as Chery and Great Wall are not bad.

The biggest threat to Tianxin is its international rival, Fuso's Toyota, which continues to increase its investment in electric vehicles, and is expected to produce 900,000 electric vehicles this year. The Germans are moving faster, and Volkswagen and BMW have launched their own electric cars one after another, challenging them in the European market since the second half of last year. In the first quarter of this year, Tianxin Automobile's sales growth in Europe declined, which was affected by them. (To be continued.) )
