Chapter 1450: Choice!
Rewind the clock to more than two months ago. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After returning from the "Aurora" club, Wang Zhiyong has been thinking about the situation of that game. The large amount of data brought back from the field made him stay up all night to devote himself to the improvement of new products.
Domestic cars can also outperform those imported high-end off-road vehicles, and they can actually make such difficult moves, which makes Wang Zhiyong's confidence greatly increased. However, he did not fall into blind self-confidence. After the race, he carefully inspected the Haval H9 driven by Chu Yang and found that many parts were seriously damaged in the fierce driving, and even the chassis was a little deformed. Under the same conditions, the cars of the other runners who completed the race were still in good condition, which made Wang Zhiyong very stimulated.
After returning to the factory, he put forward more than a dozen suggestions for technical and material improvements in one go, and reported these things directly to the factory leaders.
However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is skinny. The relevant leaders of the factory just took a brief look at his report and put it on the shelf. Wang Zhiyong waited for more than a week without any follow-up, and he was upright, so he directly broke into the office of the vice president in charge of technology and asked directly about the matter.
The vice president in charge of technology is surnamed Wang, born in Haijin University of Technology, a college student in the 80s, and also a technical cadre. In his office, after listening to Wang Zhiyong's angry complaint, he shook his head and said such things to him leisurely.
"Zhiyong, you are also an old man brought out by me, it is said that you are an expert in technology, and you are the backbone of the factory, which no one can deny. These suggestions you have made are also very good and practical, and from a technical point of view, I personally agree with these suggestions for improvement. However, Zhiyong, as a company, you can't just consider one aspect when considering problems. The problems you raised not only exist in our Haval cars, but also exist to varying degrees in other domestic cars, and even in comparison, we have done a relatively good job. But do you know why people haven't been investing heavily in this? ”
Wang Zhiyong looked at the vice president in front of him, who was also from a technical background, listened to his question, shook his head, thought about it again, and then said: "Be content with the status quo and don't want to forge ahead." ”
Hearing his words, Vice President Wang nodded and said, "Although your words are a little hurtful, it is actually a fundamental problem. Now many domestic cars are satisfied with the low-end market, relying on cost performance and sales to occupy the market. They did not dare to hit the high-end market of joint venture and imported cars, because that would require a lot of technical investment. On the contrary, although the low-end market has low profits, it can still obtain considerable profits by relying on the advantage of quantity, in such a situation, why take the risk of opening up new markets? You are the designer of the H9 and you know what is going on with this car. The H9 is one of the mid-range off-road bikes we've been testing the waters, but how is it now? ”
Leaving Vice President Wang's office, Wang Zhiyong's mood was heavy. He understood that what Mr. Wang said was the truth. Now the market in China is basically a three-point pattern, the high-end market is firmly controlled by some imported luxury brands, is BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and other brands of the world, the mid-end market is basically occupied by German, Japanese and Korean joint venture brands, and the low-end products of these brands are still going to 100,000 yuan or even below the low-end market, constantly squeezing the living space of domestic cars. And domestic cars seem to be struggling only in the range of less than 100,000 yuan. It seems that a domestic car has been sold for more than 200,000 yuan, which is an incredible thing, that is, a "black heart".
Wang Zhiyong does not understand such a situation, he believes that with the technical reserves of domestic car companies, they are fully capable and have the strength to make good cars, as long as they put more effort into scientific research, and spend more time and energy on improving product quality and user experience, he does not believe that Chinese people can not make good cars. However, his strength alone is too small after all, and in the face of the current situation of the entire Huaxia automobile market, Wang Zhiyong has a feeling of powerlessness for the first time.
At this time, he couldn't help but think of what the magical Mr. Chu said to him, Manager Hao, and Anya at that party. He said that he wanted to build a top off-road brand in China, and Wang Zhiyong could not forget that kind of pride until now. It's just that he wasn't sure whether Mr. Chu's words were a joke or the truth!
As if knowing the distress in his heart, on the third day after Wang Zhiyong's proposal was rejected by Haval's top management, he received an invitation from Manager Hao again. This time, the venue was still in that very characteristic farmhouse, and the staff was still the same four people from last time, but the content of this banquet really shocked him!
"I will invest 200 billion to establish a fruit flying car research center. The traditional land car has nothing to do, and even if it is beautiful, it is difficult to form an overwhelming competitive advantage, so we simply do it in one step and directly make flying cars. In this regard, the fruit company has some ready-made technology to learn from, the core engine technology is provided by me, the three of you, one is an expert in technology, one is an experienced driver, and one is familiar with the market marketing talents, I now on behalf of Leshen Technology, formally invite you to join this project, together to open up a new era of domestic flying cars, I hope you can agree to my invitation! ”
In this small private room, Chu Yang smiled and calmly said such words to the three people. Wang Zhiyong still remembers his surprised look at that time.
Although the figure of 200 billion is large, it does not scare him. In fact, although Wang Zhiyong is only engaged in technology, he still has a general understanding of the concept of investment in car companies. 200 billion yuan is enough to build an automobile company, but at most it is only medium-sized, not that big.
What really shocked him was the words that Mr. Chu said later.
"There is no way to make a unified land car, even if it is beautiful, it is difficult to form an overwhelming competitive advantage, so we simply take one step and directly make a flying car!"
Flying Cars, Flying Cars!
These four words, like a sledgehammer, were repeatedly hammered in Wang Zhiyong's mind, making him even a little dizzy. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't started drinking yet, he really wondered if he was having auditory hallucinations due to alcohol allergies.
Although there is only two words between a flying car and a car, the difference between heaven and earth is the difference between heaven and earth!
If you want to make the car fly into the sky, there are too many technical problems to overcome, engine technology, control system, safety system, navigation system...... Everything is fundamentally different from a traditional car.
200 billion is a lot, but flying cars? Wang Zhiyong thinks it's good to be able to get the engine out.
Hao Dong and Anya's reactions were similar to Wang Zhiyong's, and when they first heard Chu Yang's words, they both thought that this guy was crazy!
However, it only took Chu Yang less than five minutes to completely convince these three people.
What he did was very simple, and without wasting much of his tongue, he directly invited the three people into his car, the blue high R400.
Before getting in the car, Wang Shiyong and Mr. Hao didn't know what he was going to do. Including Anya, although she is very familiar with this car, when she actually sits in, she still feels that this car is a little different from the R400 she was familiar with before.
However, more than ten seconds later, when Chu Yang drove the car to an open field and immediately turned on the car's flight mode, the three of them were completely petrified!
"The technology of flying cars is mature, and what you need to do is to do some post-exterior design, integration and sales, and I think it shouldn't be a difficult task for you." Chu Yang drove the car up to an altitude of two thousand meters, and then started cruising mode. The specially modified R400, at a high speed of 2,000 kilometers per car, flew out of the sky over the capital in an instant, and entered the sky over the Bohai Sea a moment later.
Because of his full stealth performance and ultra-hypersonic cruise, Chu Yang drove a flying car in such a high-profile manner and flew over Huaxia, but no military radar or satellite found his traces!
Chu Yang took these three guys and flew around in the air, and during the whole process, the three of them were basically in a petrified state! This kind of experience is a dream experience that is unique in their lives!
When he landed again, when Chu Yang threw that invitation to them again, there was almost no hesitation, and the three of them immediately nodded and agreed to his request!
Just kidding, three people are not stupid, after seeing such a potential project, if they don't join, are they still normal people?
The three of them almost didn't eat, and after signing a contract with Chu Yang directly here, they all returned to their jobs and dealt with the resignation as quickly as possible.
When Wang Zhiyong directly handed a letter of resignation to Mr. Wang, the latter's reaction was extremely surprised. His first reaction was that this beloved general under him, the chief engineer of Haval Motors, was in a mood at the moment. Most technicians have a little temper, and he knows that. So he didn't get angry, but smiled and persuaded a few words.
"Zhiyong, I know that your suggestion didn't pass, and I have a little emotion in my heart, but I don't need to be like this. How many years have we been in an old relationship, and I still don't know you, do I? People are in their forties, what kind of children's temper do you have? In this way, I also read your suggestion, which I think is not bad about the material process, I will apply with the factory leaders in the past two days, and strive to help you set up a project, and strive to get some funds, and you will take the lead in this project, what do you think? ”
If it was before, Wang Zhiyong would be very happy to hear such words, but now, his mood is very calm.
"Mr. Wang, thank you for your support to me, but this time I'm not emotional, I'm serious. Speaking from the heart, I have seen Haval's progress over the years, and even said that I have walked with it. I am really happy that domestic cars can achieve the level and market like today. But, too slow, still too slow. Mr. Wang, my dream is to build the best car in China, I am forty-two years old this year, the time is short, I really can't afford to wait. Now, there is a place where my dreams can be realized, I want to try it, thank you for years of training, thank you! ”
When Wang Zhiyong said this, he bowed seriously to Mr. Wang.
Seeing the actions of his subordinates, Mr. Wang was slightly surprised. He frowned and said, "Zhiyong, you just said that there is a place that can help you realize your ideals and build the best cars in China?" I understand it right. ”
Wang Zhiyong looked at Mr. Wang opposite, nodded very seriously and said, "Yes, Mr. Wang." ”
Mr. Wang frowned and said: "Zhiyong, you are an old man in this industry, what level is the automobile manufacturing industry in Huaxia, you know better than me in your heart." Tell me, what kind of company can do this? It's not that I'm boasting, looking at the domestic car companies, the brand influence of the Great Wall can definitely rank in the top five, not to mention our Haval off-road vehicle, which is a steady leader, even we dare not boast of such a Haikou, to create the best car in China, you can talk about it, which car company dares to say such a thing? Lao Wang, you are also in your forties, don't be hot-headed and deceived for a while! ”
Hearing Mr. Wang's words, Wang Zhiyong sighed and said: "Just like you said, Mr. Wang, I am already in my forties, and I have my own judgment. If there is another company in Huaxia that can realize my ideals, then there is only this company. As for which one it is, I'm sorry, Mr. Wang, you also know that this is a trade secret, and I can't reveal too much to you for the time being. That's all I can say, Mr. Wang, thank you for your training, goodbye! ”
After saying this, Wang Zhiyong bowed to Mr. Wang again, and then turned his head and walked out of the office.
When he walked to the door, Wang Zhiyong hesitated slightly in his heart, at this moment, he even had an impulse to tell Wang Zonghe about the flying car, but reason finally defeated this impulse.
"Forget it, the ship is in a big turn, even if I say it now, what's the use? With the old thinking of those managers, is it possible for them to take the initiative to put down their bodies and cooperate with the Leshen Group? Besides, even if it's cooperation, what do you use to cooperate with others? Wang Zhiyong shook his head and thought a little self-deprecatingly.
Standing under the building of the Haval Group, Wang Zhiyong finally turned his head to take a look at this familiar building, then took a deep breath, turned around and strode towards the door! (To be continued.) )
