The rest of the time, the table is calmer.

Dream Academy is also starting a series of their work one after another.

In the first phase of the Dream College enrollment plan, Zhang Ning set 50 places.

This is the quota set by Zhang Ning after several rounds of consideration.

Although, Zhang Ning also wants to recruit hundreds, or even thousands, of people on a large scale at once.

But no matter what, the rice has to be taken one at a time.

Dream Academy has already taken its first step, and there is no need to act with great fanfare in the future.

The next task, as long as you can teach 50 students well with peace of mind, that's it.

However, maybe even Zhang Ning didn't expect it.

The 50 students who were decided at the beginning brought great honor to Dream College four years later.

Of course, that's all for later.

……

"Mr. Zhang, that is to say, our MP3 is a collection of music, video, photography, reading, games as one of the full-featured electronic products?"

At another meeting, Zhang Ning summoned Huang Zhang, Robin and others.

The matter of the Dream Academy,I can finally rest for a while,Zhang Ning also set his sights on mp3。

"Yes."

Zhang Ning nodded, "This one of our products is like this." ”

"Is this still mp3?"

Robin also sighed.

"It can be called mp3 or something else, but anyway, it's a very creative product. Because, he satisfies almost all of our functions. In particular, with the addition of touch, he will become extraordinary. ”

"Okay, now let's start acting, I hope that in half a year, our Meizu MP3 can surpass the iPod."

Clapping his hands, Zhang Ning ordered everyone to act quickly.

BYD.

At the same time as Huang Zhang and others, Zhang Ning also went to several other high-tech companies at the same time.

The first company I went to was BYD.

BYD was originally an electronic technology company, producing batteries, displays, and circuit boards, but now BYD, more people think that he is a car company.

Since BYD entered the automobile business in 2003, BYD has successfully entered the field of domestic automobiles.

And, with BYD's first car F3, BYD became a household name for a while.

However, while BYD became famous, it also plunged BYD into a financial crisis.

"Mr. Wang, give up the car business, if it continues like this, our BYD's finances will probably be killed by the car."

BYD's board of directors, Wang Chuanfu and major directors, argue from time to time.

"No, the car business must be done, besides, we have already started, and it is even more impossible to withdraw now."

Wang Chuanfu single-handedly created BYD, and also created the current BYD car brand with the other.

"However, Mr. Wang, if we really want to enter the automobile business, then we can only give up batteries. As you know, we've spent a lot of money on getting into the car segment. And our current cars, although they seem to be selling well, our profits are not much, on the contrary, we still have to continue to invest in them. For the time being, our funds cannot support the simultaneous promotion of the two major businesses. ”

"Batteries are our core technology, and it is impossible to give up."

Wang Chuanfu also shook his head, and then said, "Everyone, batteries and cars, I will not give up, let's discuss the financing plan." ”

"Guys, what do you think about financing?"

"Mr. Wang, if we want to raise funds, I think we can apply for listing on A-shares."

"It's a good idea to go public."

Everyone nodded.

Listing is the best way to raise funds, and it is also the best way to raise funds on a large scale.

It's just that Wang Chuanfu still shook his head, "For the time being, I don't want to go public so soon, and in addition, even if I apply for listing now, it will take more than a year to be approved layer by layer." At present, there is a large funding gap in the automobile business, and on the other hand, the time is also very tight. If we wait another year, it will be extremely detrimental to our current automotive business. ”

"Then you can only find venture capitalists."

"Director Liu, you are more familiar with the venture capital side, I have communicated to you before, let's talk about the situation."

Turning his head, Wang Chuanfu asked about a director on the side.

"At present, there are still many investment companies interested in our BYD, but most of them are not particularly strong, and they are only willing to contribute about 500 million yuan at most."

"500 million yuan is too little, if it is a battery, it is enough, but the car, 500 million, I am afraid that he can spend it in a month, and what else?"

"There is another company that is very good, but they ask for a little more shares."

"How much?"

“49%。”

Wang Chuanfu frowned, "So much, then how much are they willing to contribute?" ”

"$1 billion."

"Heh, a good idea."

"$1 billion wants to take half of our shares in BYD, and this guy has too much appetite."

Similarly, Wang Chuanfu also refused.

"What's the name of this investment company?"

"Berkshire."

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be Buffett's investment company."

Wang Chuanfu smiled a little bitterly.

was favored by the god of stocks, and I really don't know whether it is a joy or a curse.

A board of directors, Wang Chuanfu depressedly announced the end.

"Xiao Liu, what do you think we should do now?"

Wang Chuanfu, who didn't know what to do, helplessly asked the assistant.

Although, he knew, the assistant might not be able to provide any kind of answer.

Still, he asked.

"This, Mr. Wang ......"

Some of the assistants didn't know how to answer, and some were afraid to answer.

Since BYD launched the F3 car, it looks beautiful on the outside, but it is extremely dangerous on the inside.

If you are not careful, BYD may end up because the capital chain is broken.

He's just a little assistant, how can he have any ideas.

Even if there were, he didn't dare to say.

What if BYD is even worse because of its own opinions?

"It's hard for you, Xiao Liu, you go out first."

Looking at the assistant, Wang Chuanfu said.

Cars, cars.

Wang Chuanfu has always had a dream of a car.

He wanted to build a car that belonged to a domestic brand.

He also wants to create a hegemon in the domestic automotive industry.

"Do you really want to accept Buffett's investment?"

Undoubtedly, the funds given by Warren Buffett are the largest.

1 billion US dollars, Wang Chuanfu is also excited.

Moreover, with the name of Warren Buffett, it can also bring great help to BYD.

Accepting his investment can also enhance BYD's brand.

It's just that asking for 49% of the shares, Wang Chuanfu is really a little unacceptable.

"Mr. Wang."

Just as Wang Chuanfu was thinking about it, the assistant walked in again.

"Xiao Liu, didn't you go out first?"

Seeing that the assistant walked back again, Wang Chuanfu was a little angry and reprimanded.

"No, Mr. Wang, it's Mr. Zhang Ning who wants to visit you."

"No, nobody."

Wang Chuanfu shook his head, at this time, he refused to see the guest.

"Get out, I don't want to see anyone right now."

"Wait, who were you talking about?"

Seeing the assistant turn around, Wang Chuanfu seemed to think of something.

……

Ten minutes later, Wang Chuanfu was a little excited to meet Zhang Ning.

He had some regrets, he was about to refuse to meet Zhang Ning just now.

"Mr. Wang, your BYD has become famous recently."

Looking at Wang Chuanfu with glasses in front of him, Zhang Ning said with a sigh.

Speaking of domestic car manufacturers, BYD has the most profound impression of Zhang Ning.

Although in later generations, many people have always regarded BYD as a low-end car brand, and also think that many of BYD's cars are copycat cars of other brands. Like BYD F3, it is a copycat Toyota Corolla, but Zhang Ning believes that without BYD, domestic cars cannot really develop. It was also the BYD car that came out in the middle of the road that made countless domestic car manufacturers emerge in later generations within a few years, and after that, it once competed with foreign car brands.

"I'm ashamed, our BYD has always been regarded as synonymous with low-end cars, and this reputation is not to be done."

Wang Chuanfu replied with a smile.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, you can't say that. There is no absolute distinction between low-end and high-end. I think that with you BYD. Perhaps, in the next ten years, every Chinese household will be able to buy a car. I don't think this kind of contribution can be made by Volkswagen, BMW, or Audi. ”

"Mr. Zhang Ning smiled, we BYD also hope that in the future, with BYD's efforts, every family can have a car, and it is still our BYD car."

Zhang Ning has a good impression of BYD and is also familiar with the development path of BYD in later generations.

At this time, I chatted with Wang Chuanfu about BYD and cars, and there were many topics for a while, and the discussion was not enthusiastic.

At this time, Zhang Ning led the topic to domestic car brands.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think will be the future development of domestic automobiles, is it still low-end? Of course, Mr. Wang, don't get me wrong, I have no ill will towards the low end. ”

"I think that in the future, domestic cars will not only be limited to the low-end. Of course, at the beginning, major domestic car manufacturers, including Chery, Changan, Great Wall, etc., could only do low-end. First, because technology needs to be accumulated, and secondly, because the brand has not yet been promoted. However, I believe, in a few years. When domestic automakers accumulate certain technical experience, we will launch mid-range and even high-end car brands in the future. ”

"So it seems that BYD will take such a path in the future?"

"Yes, I believe that in the future, we BYD will not always be a low-end car brand. Maybe one day, when someone sees our BYD car, they will exclaim. Like, I saw Audi, BMW, Mercedes on the street. Of course, I know that this path is difficult, but I believe that in the near future, we will definitely achieve it. ”

I don't know why, when it comes to this, Wang Chuanfu is very confident.

"Mr. Wang, do you mean electric vehicles?"

Suddenly, Zhang Ning said very meaningfully.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang Ning, you, what did you say?"

Zhang Ning's words shocked Wang Chuanfu, and his eyes kept staring at Zhang Ning.

"Mr. Wang, don't look at me like that, I'm just guessing."

Zhang Ning smiled.

"I think BYD's entry into the car business on such a large scale should be more than just for cars. Thinking of your company's battery technology, I was thinking, in the future, maybe when, Mr. Wang will use batteries in cars. When the time comes, we may see. Our cars will not run on gasoline, but on batteries. ”

What Zhang Ning said is the core direction of new energy vehicles in the future - electric vehicles.

At the same time, in later generations, the leader of electric vehicles, was also awarded to BYD.

Because, in the world, BYD is the only manufacturer that produces both batteries and cars.

Maybe in 2005, electric cars felt a little bit like science fiction, or maybe they were still in the theoretical stage, and people thought it was an impossible technology. However, with the development of science and technology, electric vehicles have become possible in 2015.

In addition, BYD has launched two electric vehicles, BYD Qin and BYD Tang, which caused a sensation in the industry.

"Monster, Zhang Ning, you are really as others say, you are a monster."

Seeing Zhang Ning mention electric vehicles, Wang Chuanfu replied with great shock.

That's right.

Wang Chuanfu doesn't want to enter the automotive business, he wants to enter the electric vehicle industry.

He wanted to develop a new type of car, a car that didn't burn oil.

This kind of car is an electric car.

Use the battery to drive the car forward.

Wang Chuanfu believes that this is the future development direction of automobiles, and it is also a technology that changes the world.

Although at present, the technology in all aspects is not perfect, or even impossible.

However, in terms of the battery technology mastered by Wang Chuanfu, he believes that electric vehicles may not be impossible.

Therefore, Wang Chuanfu overcame public opinion and entered the automobile business.

"Well, I'll admit that we at BYD have plans to launch electric vehicles. Not now, though. As for when it will be launched, I don't think, I don't know. ”

Facing Zhang Ning, the monster, Wang Chuanfu said truthfully.

"Hehe, Mr. Wang, don't look at me like that. I didn't send commercial spies to your company to steal information, and as for electric cars and stuff, I just came up with a whim. You know, I'm a person, I like to think cranky when I'm free. Suddenly, when I saw your BYD one day, I thought about it. Perhaps, in this world, I'm afraid I'm not the only one who is cranky. Like, Mr. Wang Chuanfu, you. ”

"Haha, haha, Zhang Ning, you're so interesting."

Wang Chuanfu laughed, "However, I still admire you." Because I started as a battery business, I certainly know the future development trend of batteries. Electric cars weren't the first thing I came up with. The idea has been raised for a long time. It's just that I think we BYD have the possibility to build it. Although, I also know, this possibility is still very difficult. It could take five years, or maybe 10 years. ”

"Mr. Wang, no matter how difficult the future is, I support you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The two chatted for more than an hour, and then Zhang Ning got down to business.

"By the way, Mr. Wang, I don't know if you guessed what I came to your company for this time."

Seeing Zhang Ning talking about the topic, Wang Chuanfu thought about it, and after a while, he spit out four words, "Electric car." ”

Combined with what Zhang Ning said just now, Wang Chuanfu believes that Zhang Ning should be interested in their electric vehicles.

It's just that Wang Chuanfu's answer made Zhang Ning laugh dumbly.

He didn't expect that he was just a casual topic, which actually made Wang Chuanfu think that he was here for an electric car.

"This, this ......"

Zhang Ning was a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Wang, I think you guessed wrong, I'm not interested in your electric cars."
