Chapter 25: I'm serious about building cars
"Nima, what peach blossoms are blooming?"
The so-called scandal refers to the turmoil last year, of course, and there is nothing new, Lin Yi felt very unhappy when he saw these things.
Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned!
Lin scolded and asked the company's public relations team to take down the bullshit articles, even though he knew it would be futile.
From the perspective of communication, I am afraid that this matter is destined to accompany me for a lifetime.
Everyone in the company knew that Lin Yi didn't like to listen to others talk about his private affairs, so they all tacitly just celebrated privately becoming one of the "new Big Three", at least no one dared to make fun of him in front of him.
Oh, except for Han Xue.
If you don't want others to gossip, the first thing is to be upright.
Secondly, it may be that they are too idle.
Lin Yi suddenly realized the feeling of being the boss for fear that his subordinates would touch the fish and paddle and desert, and decided to find them some work to do, saving them from gossiping day by day.
"Is our research report out?"
"Yes."
Wanlixing's industry research team on new energy vehicles has handed over a long report of several hundred pages, which is very rich.
The main part that can be called the conclusion is that the technical development of electric vehicles has reached a new stage, and it shows greater potential than gasoline vehicles.
They believe that the main obstacle to the replacement of gasoline vehicles by electric vehicles in the foreseeable time is that consumers are able to widely accept these advantages and disadvantages and then embrace this new development.
Talking the opposite, does it mean not saying it?
In fact, serious research is like this, taking into account all the influencing factors, but it is rare to directly draw the conclusion that "it will definitely be how it will be".
Unless it's a preset position.
The conclusion is determined first, and then the reason is 12345 to support this conclusion according to the map, and most of Party B's reports to Party A come from this.
As the saying goes, "you're in charge of proving me right".
In any case, after such a long period of foreshadowing, several other people had to express their attitudes, and things had to come up with a charter.
Before that, Lin Yi also added a special message.
"A few days ago, when I went to Wuzhen to meet Majack, I told him that Wanli Travel had the idea of preparing to build a car, and he said that Factory A can give us a little support when it is appropriate."
"It's a drinking talk, but you should be able to do points."
Liu Jianni immediately punctured his intentions: "You said so, which means that even if the car can't be built or sold, someone will pay for it?" ”
"Lin Yi, are you so persistent in building cars?"
For Wanli Travel, Lin Yi has many ways to justify building a car, but it is not necessary, so in the final analysis, this is still a subjective choice.
"All I can say is that I'm absolutely serious."
"Then let's build it."
This relief came unexpectedly smoothly, Lin Yi originally thought that his CFO would be the most difficult person to convince.
Jianni Liu's thoughts are like this: "I don't know what the result of building a car will be, but we have billions of dollars lying on our books, and if we don't do anything, we can't pay to investors." ”
"The last time you were going to shrink the front, I said that this would leave the company with no story to tell. Now that I'm building such a big pie, at least for the next few years, I won't have to worry about running out of materials. ”
Lin Yi expressed his gratitude for this, and he knew that the exclusion of the banter part was still an important support.
The senior sister added on the side: "You said that we want to achieve profitability in 2017, which is worth considering when making a budget. ”
Lin nodded and said, "Of course." ”
Before entering the stage of large-scale production, the investment is relatively controllable, and Lin Yi has also considered other means to reduce the impact of car manufacturing on the performance of Wanli Travel.
In short, after getting the approval of my own partners, I can finally put it on the agenda.
Lin Yi first called his number one horse, Shao Yu, who has now been promoted to vice president of the company, and then asked a question:
"Do you want to start another business with me?"
Although Shao Yu did not participate in their decision-making, he had already heard the rumors that the company was preparing to build a car, and it was definitely not the first time he had pondered this matter.
This decision is actually not difficult to make, although it will definitely be risky to start a new business, but if it is successful, it will naturally have a more lucrative report.
Besides, there may not be room for excuses for what the boss wants.
"Yes."
He was concise and to the point, Lin Yi didn't ink, and chose Shao Yu purely because the two of them had been working together for a long time and had a tacit understanding enough.
But Lin Yi and Shao Yu are both pure laymen, and this matter must not be relied on by them alone.
"First of all, we need a regular R&D team, because we are both laymen, so this person is particularly important."
"My initial plan was that we needed a chief technology officer, a chief engineer and a chief designer, and after the key positions were decided, the rest would be easy to say."
"Whether you are looking for a headhunter or doing your own homework, first go and list all the candidates who meet the conditions, talents, qualifications and past achievements are indispensable, there will not be too many such people, contact them one by one according to the list."
"As long as you make sure that the other party is the right person, don't be stingy, give him an offer that you can't refuse, and if necessary, I can come forward to negotiate."
Practitioners in the automotive industry should be grateful at least a little bit for the so-called new forces of car manufacturing and this wave of new energy.
Because most of these bosses come from the Internet industry, they are more willing to spend money when poaching people from traditional car factories.
In this period of opportunity, the talents who jumped out to seek transformation basically got significantly higher treatment than in the past, provided that the company they entered was stable enough and did not lose their jobs halfway.
"As soon as the team was formed, we started working on our first model, and I mean skipping the concept phase and going straight to the production car."
"Li Bing recently went to London with his future to develop a research conference, and he had to forcibly adopt an international style."
"We started two years later than him, so there's no need to keep up with him in terms of pretending."
"You now think of yourself as a project manager, what I need is to take out the real car as soon as possible, as long as you are satisfied, I will solve the production matter."
In addition to PPT, it is not difficult for the new forces to get some money to rub a sample car out.
Mass production is another matter, this is a key threshold, and those who can't pass this pass are not officially entering the industry at all.
A vehicle production base probably means an investment of 10 billion yuan, which is a problem for those pheasant teams who join in the fun, and it is certainly not much pressure for Lin Yi.
Not to mention that Wanli Travel has billions of dollars in his own account, and he has no intention of making the car a solo effort.
Isn't there still a horse daddy?
