Chapter 191: No one is optimistic
Automotive Press: It is said that Xingchen Automobile Company set up an engine research center before the company was founded. At present, the first generation of Xingchen R86 engine has been developed. That's why Mr. Qin Hailang will open Xingchen Automobile Company.
But is the self-developed engine good? This is a question! At that time, we will need to wait for Xingchen Technology Co., Ltd. to give relevant data and test data.
It is said that Xingchen Automobile Company injected 5 billion ......
The fact that Qin Hailang opened a car company really shocked many people. After all, Xingchen Technology Co., Ltd. has nothing to do with the automotive industry at all. What the hell are you running a car company now?
Automobile companies are technology companies.
There's no technology to make a fuss.
"Have you heard that the richest man in Southeast Province wants to open a car company. It feels like he's wasting money. “
"Well, if you don't have the technology, what kind of car company you drive. I've heard that there is only engine manufacturing technology, but this engine sounds like it doesn't work. “
After all, engine development is a high-tech technology, and what powerful automobile company has not developed it for decades?
Anyway, no one is optimistic about Qin Hailang driving a car engine!
Even Qin Xianhe was not optimistic about his son, and he didn't bother to pay attention to his son's foolishness. Anyway, it's good to be happy, after all, there is a lot of money at home now.
Spend 5 billion to open a car company, and play it.
Now that the car company is registered, it is time to go to Geely Automobile Company to place an order. However, before going, Qin Hailang needed Jarvis and Honghou to help design the shape of Xingchen Automobile. It can't be the same as Geely's car. Something needs to change.
"Jarvis, Red Queen, I need your help designing a car. Well, it's a shell designed on the basis of the chassis frame of the Geely Emgrand GL. It must be matched with the chassis and frame of the Geely Emgrand GL. Don't make a cool car shell that doesn't match someone's chassis and frame!" Because he intends to use the chassis and frame of the Geely Emgrand GL. Plus the self-designed car shell and its own R86 engine. In this way, it can be assembled into a car that belongs to Xingchen Automobile Company.
"No problem, boss. "Of course there is no problem with Jarvis and the Red Queen. After all, Jarvis is good at design.
A day later, Jarvis and the Red Queen designed the car shell.
"Hey, Xiao Li. Arrange it for me, and in three days I want to go to Geely's headquarters. Yes, I want to make a deal with them. After Qin Hailang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
It's better for him to go there himself.
Three days later, Qin Hailang came to Geely's headquarters.
The general manager here met with Qin Hailang.
The general manager's name is Zhou Shuhai, a man in his fifties, who looks quite honest.
"Mr. Qin, welcome. ”
The two sides met in a VIP reception room.
"Hello Manager Zhou. Qin Hailang and Zhou Shuhai shook hands politely.
After sitting down, after chatting a few words, Qin Hailang said: "Manager Zhou, I came this time to discuss a business with your company!"
"Mr. Qin's secretary Li mentioned some to me on the phone, but now I would like to hear more about it. Zhou Shuhai smiled. He also saw Qin Hailang open a car company a few days ago. Compared to the other party, this time here must be related to the car.
"Okay, then I'm not going to talk nonsense. That's right, I want to order a batch of auto parts. It's the chassis, the frame and the like. Anyway, in addition to the engine and engine parts, there is also the engine computer board. I want to order everything else!" Qin Hailang said.
"I wonder if your company can be sold to me?" Qin Hailang asked.
After Zhou Shuhai heard this, he secretly said in his heart that this was indeed the case. In fact, this was the same in the early days of their company. Except for a small number of parts of a car, it is independently developed. In fact, many of the components and even the engine are from other car companies. Anyway, it's to order all kinds of parts and come back and put them together to assemble a car.
Then put a sign on it, and it's your own car.
Of course, the quality of such a patchwork car is definitely not good.
"I don't know what models of chassis and frames Mr. Qin needs? To be honest, we don't sell the latest chassis frames. We will only choose to sell the chassis and frame of the old model. Zhou Shuhai said. If the other party is buying the chassis and frame, of course this business can be discussed! After all, a car engine is the core. As for the turf and frame. It's totally okay to sell to someone else. Anyway, selling to customers is selling, and selling to other car companies is also selling!
Sometimes Zhou Shuhai's company is still very strong for such orders. After all, it's all money.
"I know that. Qin Hailang nodded, after all, the latest chassis and frame are used in the newly launched cars, and they will definitely not sell them. One is technical secrecy, and the second does not increase competitiveness for yourself.
"What I wanted was the chassis and frame of the Emgrand GL. Well, I need about 100,000 units for my first order. Qin Hailang said.
"The chassis and frame of the Emgrand GL or the order of 100,000 units?" ...... Zhou Haishu gasped after hearing this. This is definitely a big order. 100,000 units, that is, in addition to the engine, 100,000 units!
"How's it going?
"No, no problem!" Zhou Haishu laughed. This order can make them a lot of money.
"But I have one more request, which is that when you produce the first parts of the car, I will bring the engine to you. You guys help me install all the engines. I don't know if there's a problem? Of course, I'll pay for the labor. Qin Hailang said.
"This, this can be had. But we need to be clear about the specific issues. Zhou Haishu said.
Then Qin Hailang took out his car shell design drawings and car logos. The logo is a star map! a diamond-shaped star map.
Zhou Haishu also asked the designer and some engineers to take a look, and found that the shell of the drawing was completely consistent with Emgrand GL, so there would be no problem at all.
The next thing is to talk about the price.
In fact, Qin Hailang was buying 100,000 Emgrand GL, but he didn't buy the other party's engine, and the engine was his own.
In the end, Qin Hailang was purchased at the price of 50,000 yuan, and it was a high-end configuration.
The other party also helped to install the engine.
That is to say, when the other party produced the first batch of prototypes, Qin Hailang sent someone to send the first batch of engines to the other party's automobile factory. Someone else helped install the R86 engine in the car.
When the time comes, it will become a real star car.
It's just that this car was produced at the Jilin Automobile Factory.
100,000 vehicles, that's 5 billion, a big order.
Of course, Zhou Haishu signed the contract very happily.
With such a big list, Qin Hailang certainly needs to ask for a few benefits.
The produced Xingchen cars can be sold for free in Geely 4S stores for one month. After a month, if someone orders a car at the Geely 4S store, the 4S store has to help.
This is also Qin Hailang's solution to the sales problem, after all, his automobile company has just been established, and it is impossible to establish countless Xingchen Automobile 4S stores at once, right?
However, he plans to invest a certain amount of money in Yangcheng and even Southeast Province to open more than a dozen Xingchen Automobile 4S stores in Yangcheng and even Southeast Province!
Since a car company has been established, a 4S store is indispensable.
This order alone cost 5 billion, which made Qin Hailang a little unexpected, and it seems that he still needs to invest about 2 billion.
However, he believes that once his car is sold, then his capital will soon be returned.
Get everything done and go.
It took a month to talk about this contract business alone, after all, there are a lot of details in it. Qin Hailang brought 2 lawyers, 4 secretaries, and 5 executives over.
Such a big business must be cautious.
After Qin Hailang left, all the high-level executives on Geely's side were a little happy.
"A 5 billion order! This car company opened by Qin Hailang is really a bloody investment. It's not as simple as playing. ”
"How many do you think he'll sell?"
"I don't know, their own engine? I don't think any users will be interested. ”
"Without word of mouth, I dare to ask for an order of 100,000 units at once, isn't this a waste of money. You can spend a lot of money on me. ”
Anyway, even Zhou Haishu and the others thought that Qin Hailang was messing around? Anyway, no one was optimistic about him.
