Chapter 028: Coming Soon
Downshifting is wrong, and high-speed is not good, what should I do?
Meng Qian's solution is to press the brake with his left foot, hold the accelerator with his right foot, and keep the engine speed from the outside into the inner bend. The same was true of the car in front, but perhaps it was too anxious to get rid of Meng Qian, and the speed of entering the corner was too fast, and the tires lost their grip and slid off the track.
Meng Qian took the opportunity to overtake on the inside line, maintained the lead and crossed the line, the drivers passed one after another, the coach announced the end of the track training, and everyone concentrated to listen to the experience. The evaluation of the professional coach is very vicious, and the driver's handling status can be judged from the trajectory of each car.
The coach summarized everyone's performance above, and Liu Jianhao, who was holding a helmet, stood beside Meng Qian: "You grasped the bend just now, you grasped it very well." ”
Meng Qian was modest: "If you control the brakes a little, I guess I still have to watch you take the lead and cross the line." ”
"A loss is a loss." Liu Jianhao didn't make an excuse and stretched out his hand to him: "Officially met, Liu Jianhao, a guy who suddenly loves racing." ”
"Meng Qian, fan." Meng Qian shook hands with him, "Suddenly love, is there such a statement?" ”
Liu Jianhao explained with a smile: "I always want to try to replace the stimulation in life, so as not to do my job, and my mother dislikes my father all day long." ”
"It's the first time I've heard that." Meng Qian felt fresh, "But with this kind of perseverance to learn racing, I don't think it will be too bad to do other things." ”
"If my family were so open-minded...... Hey, what industry is the guy in? ”
"Invest in some high-tech."
Liu Jianhao was surprised: "High-tech? Amazing, isn't there a shortage of this kind of talent in China? ”
The two chatted for more than half an hour, talking about their interests and careers, although they still didn't understand what Liu Jianhao was doing, but they felt much higher than the guys in the supercar club, not only from wealth, but also in terms of behavior.
He didn't deliberately behave, but he belonged to the kind of pampered environment, which was naturally formed, commenting on certain things, and his tone and attitude seemed organized and discerning. Meng Qian prefers to be friends with this kind of person, who has insight and character, and is a model of the second generation.
……
A few more days later, the lab began testing the battery.
A total of five groups of batteries, all of which refer to Meng Qian's opinions, from the cost and performance aspects, to seek the best combination of products, who do they choose? In the end, it is necessary to refer to the three major test data, combined with the performance of safety, to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages. It is expected to take three days.
The test was underway, and before the results came out, Zong Yan found him first.
"The commercialization of batteries has been unhindered, and the company's business strategy is crucial as a high-tech product that can truly supply the market." Zong Yan opened his mouth quite seriously, in the past month, he has understood the significance of this product to the world.
There have been countless institutions that have claimed that they will "super batteries", "new batteries" and the like, and even have a capacity of 1,000 times that of traditional lithium batteries, but those are all laboratory products, and they have no ability to commercialize, and mass production is slim, only now this one.
Thinking of its future, Zong Yan is also looking forward to it.
Meng Qian took the initiative to ask for advice: "I don't know much about business issues, are you going to do so?" ”
Zong Yan is easy to plan: "Fame must be played out first, as a new type of lithium-ion battery, it itself has a sensation, but if we want to expand the scope, we need to start from ourselves and consumers, the traditional channel is for scattered users, not the company's first choice." ”
Meng Qian also understands that the company's batteries do not consider the idea of wholesale and retail, and from the very beginning, Zong Yan's strategy is to cooperate with large mobile phone manufacturers and direct manufacturers to consumers. Therefore, the traditional advertising and publicity strategies have a limited role in the company's publicity and development.
So he asked, "What about strategy?" ”
Zong Yan continued: "But it also has to carry out a moderate amount of propaganda and be oriented to the professional. After that, we will sell to large mobile phone companies, such as Huawei and Samsung. Combined with our current actual situation, the funds are small, and the output cannot be raised in the short term, so I consider supplying flagship models first. ”
Meng Qian understood: "Even if it's a loss, you have to make a name for yourself, right?" ”
Zong Yan nodded: "In the first step, we may make concessions at a loss, because our cost is too high, but in the long run, cooperation with big brands is an excellent publicity opportunity. ”
"After our products become famous, the next step is to expand sales, and whether it is to seek loans from banks or to raise funds from society, it will be much better than in obscurity. So at the moment, I think we have to be bold and decisive. ”
Meng Qian digested, in the final analysis, it was a matter of fame and funds.
Fame is easy to deal with, advanced technology itself is sensational, it only needs to be promoted behind the scenes, and its prosperity is predictable; Funds are a headache, compared to the scale of the battery factory, the money in Meng Qian's hands is definitely not enough, tens of millions can only engage in medium scale.
If you want to build a super-large battery factory, it is not an exaggeration to invest billions. Because new technologies also have a life span, we have to occupy the market as much as possible before competitors come out. If we engage in a small development strategy, tens of millions of factories, although the operation is stable, but the future will be narrower.
Meng Qian asked: "There is a question, what do you think about the investment and the ratio?" ”
Zong Yan said: "In fact, Mr. Meng, your main consideration is profit margin, and you can maintain more than 51% of the voting rights." From another perspective, if you hold 100% of the shares, but the annual profit is only 10 million, and on the contrary, if you hold 55% of the shares, but the annual profit is hundreds of millions or billions, which one will you choose? ”
Meng Qian did face this choice, not to raise funds, it seems that the company is all in his own hands, but it has no development prospects; And to accept financing will squeeze a lot of big capital in, and as long as the company is short of money, it will dilute its share.
It's hard to have the best of both worlds.
But Zongyan is not wrong, he is completely controlled, and he only earns 10 million a year; Divide a part out, develop ferociously, and earn 100 million a year. If you simply pursue profits, the profit of the latter can never be compared with the former. Meng Qian feels that he has encountered a financial circle again?
The previous software company played it badly for him.
He also has a stronger energy plan, even if he sells the company, and uses the abundant funds in exchange for it to continue to develop, and make a more advanced battery still invincible. If the opportunity is great and he is short of money, he can sell the low-tech industry at a low price first.
Meng Qian understood: "I understand, let's improve the factory first." ”
Zong Yan's movements were fast: "We are already starting to prepare. ”
"Very good." Meng Qian was satisfied, and he liked this kind of cadre who made him worry-free, but he mentioned again: "Although the factory can use the production line of traditional lithium batteries, it is necessary to add the self-production of materials. ”
Zong Yan asked: "Lay a small number of production lines first, and focus on trial production?" ”
"Yes." Meng Qian nodded, "After that, we will adjust it to reduce costs and improve the pass rate (pass rate)." ”
……
There are many processing plants and foundries in the suburbs of Haishi, and as an international city, the supply of materials, transportation and labor is very sufficient, and the cost in the suburbs is relatively reasonable. After Meng Qian considered it, the company allocated 30 million yuan to accelerate the construction of the factory and build the production line.
Although it is a new type of lithium battery, some core equipment remains the same, such as vacuum ovens, vacuum mixers, coating machines and precision liquid injection systems, etc. The main difference is that the materials are not sold on the market, they need to be produced in-house, and there are more steps, and naturally there will be many more processes.
This will be more complicated than the traditional process, but things will still be carried out in an orderly manner, with the laying of the production parts of the factory and the introduction of the company's business plan. This machine is now ready to go, and only the final production plan needs to be established, and the factory can be ready to start immediately.
