Chapter 283: Sales Problems
As for the skilled workers under the factory, it is very possible, after all, it is very difficult to find hundreds or thousands of industrial workers in Chengguan City. But this can also be solved by poaching people from their car factory, which is about to close down anyway, and the workers are not working, so they should be happy to work under the richest man.
Despite thinking about these many things, Liu Xiuqi still said quietly on the surface, "Due to the lack of orders, the factory stopped production last month, and the workers took annual leave in advance. If Mr. Jiao really intends to buy the factory, then he must hurry. If factories do not reopen after the Chinese New Year, those workers are likely to quit their jobs and go out to work. ”
Jiao Bai nodded, and said, "I will consider it carefully, if I am interested, I will send a team over as soon as possible to start talking about the acquisition, and I hope that Director Liu can contact those workers and let them not rush to find a job." ”
"That's the best."
While several people were talking, Liu Xiuqi led everyone out of the last workshop and went around to the back of the workshop. The scene behind the workshop startled Jiao Bai, and he saw that the open space in front of him was full of cars of various colors, neat and dense, and there was no edge in sight.
Seeing such a shocking scene, Liu Musi exclaimed in surprise and asked, "My, second uncle, such a large area is full of cars, I'm afraid there are thousands of cars parked here, how can your factory store so many cars?"
Liu Musi's question was also what Jiao Bai and Xia Hongkai wanted to ask, and the three of them all looked at Liu Xiuqi with curious eyes.
Liu Xiuqi smiled miserably and said, "We miscalculated the market demand for new energy cars and reaped the consequences." When our new cars are designed and put into production, the state has many preferential policies for the purchase of new energy vehicles, such as subsidies for car purchases, exemption from purchase tax, and direct green license plates without lottery numbers. When our new cars actually hit the market, these preferential policies were all eliminated. In addition, the number of domestic charging piles is too small, the coverage is limited, and without policy support, the sales of new energy vehicles of major brands have all plummeted. Our Jingqi New Energy is a brand-new brand, and it is reasonable that it has no reputation and cannot be sold. There are 1,326 stock cars parked here, and that's not all, there are more than 800 cars as prototypes, which are stored in the 4S stores of major sellers. These cars alone are worth more than 200 million, so our previous offer was not too high. ”
Jiao Bai circled around a white car in front of him, the first impression was still good, the five-seater hatchback, the shape was regular, it was not amazing, it could only be decent, but it was enough for ordinary families. If this is a fuel car, even if it is a new logo, the sales will not be as dismal. But it is a new energy vehicle, and it has rolled off the assembly line a few years late, missing the best time to market, and it is not surprising that sales have been blocked.
"Since you have so many cars in stock, why don't you sell them at a reduced price. If you get rid of all the cars in stock, you should be able to exchange a lot of money and get it back, and with these financial supports, the car factory will not go bankrupt."
"We also want to reduce the price of sales, but it is not easy, the reduction is ineffective, and the head office does not agree. Our new car sales are through the sales channel of Beijing Automobile Group, and if the price reduction is too much, it will affect the sales of other brands of vehicles in the group. ”
Liu Xiuqi took out a sponge for packaging from the corner, carefully wiped the outermost car, and then sent an invitation to Jiao Bai, "Mr. Jiao, do you want to test drive it yourself, and then give some opinions." ”
Jiao Bai is quite interested in these inventory cars, after all, if Xingchen Group really buys this car factory, how to deal with these cars is also a problem he will face. Thinking of this, Jiao Bai didn't shirk, took the car key handed over by Liu Xiuqi, opened the car door, and sat in the cab. Xia Hongkai and Liu Musi also got into the car with great interest, wanting to follow for a ride.
Letting go of the handbrake, Jiao Bai familiarized himself with the layout of the car, then ignited and drove forward. After all, it is an electric car, with a large torque and a fast start, Jiao Bai actually felt an obvious sense of pushing back in this car that cost more than 100,000 yuan, and the driving feeling was okay, and the response was very sensitive, but after the speed was raised, there was some follow-up weakness, and the highest speed could only be driven to 100 miles. After going around the factory, Jiao Bai drove the car into the vehicle test area, climbed high and low on various simulated terrains, and occasionally demonstrated his superb driving skills in drifting and cornering.
Ten minutes later, Jiao Bai drove the car back to the parking lot, the door opened, and Xia Hongkai and Liu Musi ran out of the car with a pale face. Xia Hongkai is okay, but his legs are a little weak, and he has to rely on his hands to support the body in order to stand firmly, Liu Musi's reaction is a little more intense, he retched after jumping out of the car, and then ran to the corner and vomited.
Liu Xiuqi went back to the office to find a bottle of mineral water and handed it to his niece, asked him to rinse his mouth, and when he came back, he gave Jiao Bai a thumbs up and praised, "I didn't expect Mr. Jiao's driving skills to be so good, and those ace test drivers in our factory can't catch up with you." ”
"Director Liu praised it, from a driver's point of view, this car is not bad, the tuning is very comfortable, but the maximum speed is a little slow, are you limiting the output power of the Lingji"
"Mr. Jiao's eyes are like torches, and he is on zero all of a sudden. The reason why we limit the power of the motor is also a last resort. As an entry-level electric car priced at about 100,000 yuan, we must strictly control the cost, the battery pack used in the car has a limited capacity, and it is all domestic goods, once the output power is too high, it will cause the battery cell to overheat, not only has the danger of spontaneous combustion, but also seriously reduces the mileage, and even affects the battery life. We have thought of many ways to solve the problem of battery cell heating, but the effect is not great, and it can only be alleviated, not cured. We had no choice but to limit the maximum power of the engine, which barely passed the safety test. ”
After listening to Liu Xiuqi's explanation, Jiao Bai took matters into his own hands, opened the front cover of the car, and looked at the arrangement of the battery and motor. Unlike Tesla, which uses AC asynchronous motors for power, this car uses domestic permanent magnet motors, both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages, and neither is more advanced. Strangely, the power battery pack is not embedded in the chassis like other electric vehicles, but is made into a situation of Lingchi bag and fixed in the front engine compartment. With this layout, it is convenient to replace the battery, and the safety is a little worse.
"Why is the battery of this car put here, isn't it better to embed it in the chassis",,,
