Chapter 761: Forward
At the meeting, many middle and senior executives of Huayang Power were reprimanded by Jin Xiaoqiang and were dumbfounded, especially Jin Xiaoqiang's speech in the last paragraph, which made them realize the importance of attaching importance to domestic consumers that Jin Xiaoqiang said.
Indeed, there are many export enterprises in China at present, and it seems that the business is doing very well, and they specialize in international orders every year, and domestic orders are not accepted at all, because domestic orders are relatively fragmented, the order volume is small, and there is a margin problem, which often leads to a series of problems such as difficulty in dunning in China.
Compared with exports, export products, although the price is not high, can be protected by the national tax rebate policy, so that domestic products are more competitive in the international market.
Even the cars exported by Huayang Power also enjoy the tax rebate policy, especially their products are high value-added products, in order to protect such enterprises, the state gives more preferential policies when such products are exported.
This seems to be a good thing, but in Jin Xiaoqiang's view, it is a good thing to do it now, and you can get benefits, but in the future, it may not be a good thing.
Think about a few years later, because of the impact of the financial crisis, the Yankees, in order to protect their domestic industrial enterprises and workers' jobs, often inexplicably carried out anti-dumping investigations on the products of the Celestial Empire.
Some of the tire manufacturing enterprises of the Celestial Empire, and automotive glass manufacturing enterprises, are suffering from it, this is still some of the production of products with low added value of the company, and so on in case the Yankees are really anxious, Huayang Power will definitely not be good.
Thinking about the scene of Huawei and ZTE being killed and brought back to life in the United States in the last life, Jin Xiaoqiang can only sigh bitterly, why bother?
Is the U.S. market really that profitable? If you have the kung fu to spend a lot of money to fight a lawsuit with the Americans, it is better to spend this money on practicing your internal skills at home. Strive to come up with one or two world-class products. Even if you don't want to go, they'll have to ask you to go.
And the middle and senior leaders of Huayang Power in the audience remember that the key is not these, but Jin Xiaoqiang's judgment on the future economic situation. There is also the data report on the economic situation in Europe and the United States in the last year or two compiled by his data collation and evaluation team in Hong Kong.
In this report, everyone has seen the performance of the United States as the world's largest economy. In recent years, especially after the second Iraq war, the economic situation in the United States has been very good, and in the eyes of various reports, it is a prosperous scene.
But in fact, what you see is the rapid development of the real estate industry in the United States, a large number of job opportunities in the United States are in the field of construction, and the real estate industry in the United States has been very hot recently.
Because of the dividends of the war in the Middle East. There is also a steady stream of large loans from the Celestial Empire, and it can be said that there are sufficient materials in the Bank of America, and they began to lend money to those ordinary people in large amounts. Let them go and buy a car and a house. Overdraft the future.
But it's also very clear in the report, that is, among these borrowers. More than 50 per cent of the borrowers are risky borrowers who do not have the ability to repay the loan.
A group of middle and high-level people here are not stupid, and they can read this line of writing with a red pen very clearly, and everyone knows that this is a reminder that there is a big bomb in the US economy now, and if this bomb explodes, it will definitely affect the whole world.
So at this time, instead of increasing efforts in the United States, it is better to put this energy in China and treat every domestic consumer well.
After the meeting, all the information was handed over and recovered, and Mr. Jin also issued a gag order for this meeting, no one is allowed to go out and talk nonsense, otherwise, the company will be heavily punished, everyone is not a fool, it can be seen that Mr. Jin is serious, so everyone can only obediently comply. …,
Because everyone knows, don't look at Mr. Jin is young, but his influence in the domestic automobile industry is quite unusual, if you offend him, you can be banned in minutes, and you will be dismissed, it is impossible for you to mix in this circle in the future, so no one dares to touch his moldy head.
The managers of the meeting gradually dispersed, but Jin Xiaoqiang left several senior engineers, such as Wuyun Gaowa, Li Qiming, and so on, the original earliest Jin Xiaoqiang's team, and now they are the backbone of Huayang Power's engineering technicians, basically everyone is leading a department to carry out research and development work.
And the reason why these people are left is to unify everyone's thinking in the direction of future car design.
"What do you think about the future development of the automotive industry? Let's talk about it, and I'll listen to it too. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang looked at these engineers with a smile and said, although most of these people were invited back from outside, but after so many years of training, they have all become the core R&D personnel of Huayang Power, and a group of engineers they brought out are also forming combat effectiveness and rapidly maturing, so these people can be said to be the most valuable wealth of Huayang Power.
"Hehe, with you Mr. Jin as a design master, what are we bothering about?"
Wuyun smiled and made a joke with Jin Xiaoqiang, indeed the company has been founded in the past few years, almost all the works produced, almost most of them are from Jin Xiaoqiang's design, and other designers are basically working, and they really haven't completed any decent design.
"Oops! Sister Wuyun, you can't say that, your credit is not small? Although I have designed a lot of works in the past two years, without your help, how could my works have been launched so easily? Besides, in the future, you can't always let me do this kind of design work alone. It's time for you to take up the banner, and your team should be able to take it out to practice after so many years of training, right? ”
Jin Xiaoqiang smiled and held these people and said, it is true that he has been too sharp in the past few years, and he has suppressed these people, and I don't know if people will be resentful.
"We'd like to, but we've been thinking about it so far!"
Li Qiming spoke, he is a comprehensive talent, and he has also worked in General Motors, if you want to say that the design of a real knife and a gun is a car with strong practicality, he still has the strength, and the team he leads among these people seems to be the strongest at present.
So Jin Xiaoqiang values him and his team very much.
"Alright! Then I will tell you some of my thoughts, the momentum of the growth of the domestic market in recent years, I think you have also seen that in the next few years, the focus of our Huayang Power will be on the domestic market. And what kind of car will be popular in the domestic market? Then I'll give you an analysis. ”
As soon as Jin Xiaoqiang's topic came to this, several designers present were interested, after all, Jin Xiaoqiang's judgment on the market had never been missed.
"There is such a saying in the international market, that is, the intermediate car owner has the world, and the fact is also confirmed, Toyota, Honda rely on their dominant position in the American intermediate car market, not only to establish their position in the American market, but also to establish their position in the world car market. But in my opinion, this proposition is about to become obsolete, and in my opinion, in the future, it will be the market leader of the compact car market, and it will win the world. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang's words immediately aroused the contemplation of many designers present. …,
In the past, Jin Xiaoqiang did not plan to enter the compact model market so early, but now with the changes in the international and domestic economic situation, he feels that it is better to take precautions now.
In 2000, the price of crude oil futures in the world was $20 a barrel, but in a few years, the price of international crude oil futures per barrel has risen to more than $70, and the price has nearly quadrupled in just a few years. And in my judgment, oil prices will continue to rise. Now even the Americans, who have always liked large displacement and high horsepower, can no longer afford to play with that kind of V8 car, let alone our Celestial Empire as a pure importer of oil. In the past two years, there has been an oil shortage in China from time to time, and I think everyone has seen it, so models like V8 or even V6 are destined to be unpopular in China, except for some high-end luxury car markets, of course. For ordinary people, the more cost-effective small-displacement compact class car is more of their appetite. ”
Jin Xiaoqiang's explanation, listening to the designers present nodded frequently.
"Well, yes, I heard from my friends in the U.S. that they can't even afford to drive to work now."
Li Qiming used to work in the United States, so he has many friends in the United States, and he has always kept in touch with them.
"That is, this year's 'Captain America' is very popular at home and abroad, especially in the domestic hot sales, I feel very surprised, after all, our Chinese people prefer sedans, and then asked a lot of people to know, it turns out that everyone buys this car, the main reason is because it is fuel-efficient."
Wuyun also replied that she has many classmates in big cities like Beijing and Puhai, so she also knows a lot about the market.
Jin Xiaoqiang listened to their words, nodded his head, and continued.
"So I hope that everyone will focus on the research and development of small cars with a displacement of less than 2.0L in the future, so that each of your teams, before the end of the year, give me a design draft, I will see if there is a suitable work, if there is, then we will start the project!"
