Of course, as a person, Zheng Fuchuan is not perfect!
First of all, after BYD became bigger and stronger, he carried out a family-style management model for the company, which Jin Xiaoqiang disagreed with.
In fact, family management, historically, is not useless compared with the contract management of capable people living in Europe and the United States.
At least in East Asia, where loyalty and contract spirit are not very high, family management is not only a disadvantage, such as those large residential enterprises in Xiangjiang, as well as many Japanese conglomerates, which one is not a family management model?
And in Europe and the United States, Morgan, Rockefeller and other large conglomerates, are they not engaged in family management?
So it doesn't matter what kind of management method you have, the most important thing is to appoint people on the basis of merit, and it's not that any relatives who don't have bullshit ability can also steal from a high position.
Zheng Fuchuan did not do this very well, for example, he appointed the eldest brother and sister-in-law who had a very good relationship with him, but had limited talents, as the company's logistics executives, which was very criticized by BYD employees.
And after BYD became bigger and stronger, they were still using the same sweatshop model as Foxconn, which made Jin Xiaoqiang feel very uncomfortable.
But after all, these are other people's affairs, and he can't control it, but in his eyes, in general, Zheng Fuchuan still has very merits.
Otherwise, Warren Buffett, who was known as the world's stock god, would not have been stupid enough to find BYD and buy 10% of their shares.
After cleaning the company's administrative building, Jin Xiaoqiang took a group of executives of the company to drive directly to a high-end hotel in Nan@yang City, where Zheng Fuchuan was staying, to personally welcome Zheng Fuchuan's arrival.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm really sorry, some time ago, I was so busy, and my subordinates didn't notify me in time, you have come to Nanyang, I'm really sorry to have you wait so long!"
As soon as he saw the middle-aged man Jin Xiaoqiang in front of him, he walked over and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, shook hands with him, and apologized very sincerely.
"Haha, where, where, I also have time during this time, and I can follow this time to study in your factory. This time we have benefited a lot from this study! ”
Zheng Fuchuan also grabbed Jin Xiaoqiang's hand, shook it vigorously, and then said with a smile, it seems that he didn't pay attention to the previous negligence of Huayang Power.
Looking at the man in front of him, who started from scratch and made the company the world's top mobile phone battery supplier in just a few years, Jin Xiaoqiang was really full of emotion.
The man in front of him, in 1995, started with a borrowed 2.5 million yuan, and in just seven or eight years, he made a BYD battery, which had just been born not long ago, into a company that could compete with the world's top electronics companies, and became the world's fourth largest mobile phone battery supplier after Sanyo, Sony, and Panasonic.
Then a beautiful turn into the domestic automobile manufacturing industry, and in 205 launched a new car, and their new car, is a record of domestic car sales champion for several consecutive years.
And break the barriers of technical fear, dare to challenge like difficult technical barriers, dare to spend money to tackle key problems, such a man is completely a god-level man in Jin Xiaoqiang's view
If he hadn't relied on such a golden finger as rebirth, he would not be a level figure at all compared to Zheng Fuchuan, and he could even be said to be nothing compared to others! …,
Therefore, compared with the predecessors in the industry, Jin Xiaoqiang can't help but admire him, although in this life, Huayang Power entered the automobile industry earlier than BYD, became famous earlier than BYD, and developed more smoothly than BYDl, and the scale was also better than them, but Jin Xiaoqiang still admired the man in front of him very much.
Before this, although BYD had also sent people to get in touch with Jin Xiaoqiang, and the two sides had a record of cooperation in certain fields, such as the project launched by BYD in the past few years, the BYDG6 model, which was designed by Jin Xiaoqiang, but because of various reasons before, today is the first time the two have met.
Both sides gave each other a very high evaluation, and then after greeting each other in the hotel conference room, and finally under Jin Xiaoqiang's strong request, the two sides had a meal in the hotel's restaurant.
Jin Xiaoqiang was also very happy to be able to entertain Zheng Fuchuan, a figure he admired in his previous life, so both sides drank a lot of wine at this meal, and in the end, both of them were even drunk.
On this day, both parties had no intention of negotiating, Jin Xiaoqiang just wanted to have a good exchange with Zheng Fuchuan, after all, the other party was one of the few worthy of respect in his heart, a business rival, and a partner.
In Zheng Fuchuan's view, what about Jin Xiaoqiang opposite?
Entering the Celestial Empire automobile market in the year, it can be said that he started later than himself, but he is an amazing and talented car design genius, coupled with the support of the mysterious American capital, he has made such great achievements in just a few years, so in Zheng Fuchuan's view, this Jin Xiaoqiang in front of him is not a legendary hero?
is the so-called heroes cherish each other, so this meal of wine is completely high for the two of them, and coupled with the appreciation of both parties for each other, so after this meal, the relationship between the two sides has also become a lot closer.
After returning to his home in the evening, Jin Xiaoqiang pondered, this time Zheng Fuchuan led the team to Nan, so grand, the other party obviously attached great importance to this meeting and negotiation, so what did they want from themselves?
Although Jin Xiaoqiang values Zheng Fuchuan very much, business is business, and he does not pay attention to BYD, a competitor, because of his appreciation of Zheng Fuchuan.
For an opponent like BYD who is willing to work technology, Jin Xiaoqiang is actually quite contradictory, on the one hand, he hopes to increase his support for the other party, but on the other hand, he is a little worried about the opponent's copycat ability.
"First of all, thank you Mr. Jin for helping us design the G6 model, I like it very much after seeing it. To be honest, our own design ability is really too weak, and we are embarrassed to take it out to show ugliness, if it weren't for Mr. Jin's help, we would have looked good at BYD......
At the beginning of the negotiations held at the headquarters of Huayang Power the next day, Zheng Fuchuan expressed his gratitude to Jin Xiaoqiang.
"Where, where, everyone is a domestic independent brand enterprise, is it that my brother is in trouble, don't you help?"
Jin Xiaoqiang said to Zheng Fuchuan.
In the previous life, BYD entered the Celestial Empire automobile market after acquiring Qinchuan Automobile, and then launched their first work, BYD!
And it is this that makes BYD famous, and it is to become a famous character in the domestic independent brand!
This can actually be said to be an outright imitation of the Toyota Corolla, in order to develop his own first-generation model, Zheng Fuchuan gritted his teeth and bought dozens of Corollas and let the engineers in the factory disassemble and assemble them.
In order to test the chassis design parameters of the Corolla, they also deliberately drove the Corolla to a bad road, all kinds of tossing, and then recorded these data to develop their own turf, and it is this spirit of willingness to study that allowed them to launch their first generation of products. …,
In the 205 years of the previous life, without the appearance of Huayang Power in this life, the Japanese German and American cars at that time were still very comfortable.
Japanese cars took the lead in reducing prices, like the German system launched a challenge, and at that time, there was no Huayang Power's attack, and German cars were still able to cope with it, so neither side cared about the low-end car market.
At that time, the price of all their car series was almost kept above 150,000, and there were no products below 150,000, and BYD also aimed at this market gap, and priced their BYD in the price range of 100,000 to 130,000 after it was listed. -
It is precisely by virtue of this price advantage that BYD opened rapidly and occupied the market, selling more than 20,000 units that year, becoming a star in the market in one fell swoop.
And in the following years, relying on BYD, BYDFOBYD and other products, it suddenly achieved more than 100% sales growth for five consecutive years. ˇ
More than 60,000 units were sold annually, more than 10,000 units were sold annually, and 170,000 units were sold in the year, and the year was the glorious year of BYD, starting from August of the year to May of the 20NO year, BYD became the nationwide sales champion for ten consecutive months, and sold more than 4.48 million units in one fell swoop!
These are enough to witness the glory of BYD back then, and also established BYD's position in the domestic automotive industry in one fell swoop.
However, in this life, BYD's road is not as smooth as in the previous life, and their models in this life were launched last year, but there is such a roadblock as Huayang Power, BYD's, whether in terms of appearance or powertrain, does not have any technical advantages at all.
So they could only work the price, and finally had to price the one they had high hopes for at a price of 50,000 to 80,000 yuan.
Although because of the low price, the sales volume is the same as in the previous life, but in this way, their profit margins are not as objective as in the previous life.
And because there is still Huayang Power's Zhuyu in front, the achievements of BYD so far in this life are not as conspicuous as in the previous life.
It is precisely because in the market that it did not show as good as BYD expected, so they also sent someone over last year to ask Jin Xiaoqiang to help design a new car.
And because BYD is rooted in the south, it is very close to Wuyangcheng, the old nest of the joint venture domestic Japanese cars, and the consumers in Guangnan have experienced the influence of Japanese cars for many years, and they have their own opinions on the aesthetics of the model.
So Jin Xiaoqiang had no choice but to send the BYDG designed by BYD himself, which was very close to the Japanese style, in advance.
In fact, to be honest, which car imitates the shape of a Japanese car, it is still very strong, in short, it seems to be a hybrid of Camry and Accord.
But unexpectedly, the engineers of BYD, who are accustomed to the south of the country and have been influenced by the style of Japanese cars for a long time, and even Zheng Fuchuan himself, felt very satisfied after seeing this car, and immediately passed and launched the G6 project.
And he also plans to launch this car this year, which really makes Jin Xiaoqiang feel a little surprised!
The two sides had another conversation and greetings that were not nutritious, and then they got to the point.
"Mr. Jin, in fact, we came to you this time to talk to you about the next step of in-depth cooperation. In fact, we also want to introduce certain technical support from Huayang Power. ”
Zheng Fuchuan is very simple, and after getting to the point, he will make bold moves and go straight to the point.
"Oh? What kind of technical support do you want? ”…,
Jin Xiaoqiang had already prepared, so he didn't panic.
"Hmm...... We want ......
I want the SKYACTIV technology of the K series......"
Before saying such a request, even Wang Chuanfu felt a little embarrassed, you know, after all, the Skyactiv technology is one level higher than the engine technology used by the current Yidong, and it is just a technology that was just launched last year.
Yo drink! I have long known that this guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is also a well-known technical controller, but I didn't expect this guy to really dare to open his mouth!
Jin Xiaoqiang was also stunned after hearing Zheng Fuchuan's request, he really didn't expect this Zheng Fuchuan, what he wanted was SKYACTIV technology.
"This? I'm afraid this won't be easy to do......"
Jin Xiaoqiang frowned, the SKYACTIV technology used in this K series is not fake by himself, but the K series also has Peter. What about the design part of Rihill!
People are also one of the founders of the K series, and if the main technology of the K series is transferred without their consent, isn't that a bit ......
Zheng Fuchuan saw that Jin Xiaoqiang was a little hesitant, knowing that this matter was not easy to do, he immediately glanced at an engineer next to him, so the guy next to him immediately continued.
"Well...... If Mr. Jin feels embarrassed, then we won't force it, but we want your support in the direct injection technology in the cylinder, do you think it's okay? ”
As soon as this guy spoke, Jin Xiaoqiang understood, the other party was going around the bend with himself, what he wanted was the direct injection technology in the cylinder, maybe he would have to give himself a turbocharger later, it turned out that the other party was Xiang Zhuang Wujian, which was intended for Pei Gong!
By the way, what they want must be the technology of the 15TI that they originally installed on the G6!
