Chapter 1016 Domestic Cars
"I've been back for so long, I'm almost crazy at home, if it weren't for Brother Xiu to save me, I feel like I would have to stay at home and be depressed."
"You don't know, I was the emperor when I first came home, and after staying for less than a week, I became an eyesore that my grandmother didn't care about and my uncle didn't love, and even my mother hated me for staying at home every day."
"Before I returned to China, I wanted to go around to play, but not long after I came back, I wanted to go to school as soon as possible, which is much more free than at home."
"Brother Xiu, you don't know, you asked me to go out to play this time, I couldn't sleep last night with excitement."
"It's so bitter!"
“……”
On the plane, Shi Qingsong chattered to Gu Xiu.
The child is really bitter.
Originally, before returning to China, he thought that after he came back, he would travel all over the country, and he would go around to eat and have fun, and the whole summer vacation was full of his planning.
As a result, there was no surprise.
After playing for a few days, I was bored.
Because he found that running around was quite tiring, it was better to stay at home, eat, sleep, and play games.
No doubt.
Such an approach must have been dissatisfied with Shi's father and mother, and in this way, Shi Qingsong once again became a negative teaching material for Shi Jieyun to educate Shi Jieyun at home.
This time, Gu Xiu went out and called Shi Qingsong together, and this kid was like being beaten for the first time.
Revive at full health.
"You can still lie flat at home in the open, I don't even have a chance to lie flat at home."
Gu Xiu, who was suffering from the same disease, spread his hands.
Shi Qingsong was greatly comforted: "Brother Xiu, you are the same as me at home?" ”
"Who isn't a kid yet?"
"Understand that being a child is too miserable, and when I graduate, they won't care about me."
"Not necessarily."
“……”
The two were chatting when it was time for the plane to board.
It wasn't until this time that Shi Qingsong remembered to look at the starting station on the ticket, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously:
"Brother Xiu."
"We're going to the magic capital this time?"
"What are you doing in the magic capital?"
"Do you have any plans, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly delicious in the magic capital, is there anything fun about it?"
"Don't you like to look at cars?" Gu Xiu smiled: "I'll take you to see the auto show." ”
"Watching a car show?" Shi Qingsong came to be interested:
"Brother Xiu, are you going to sell the car?"
"What car do you want to buy? I've heard that Lamborghini has recently come out with a good sports car, and Porsche seems to have a new one, and yes, Ford seems to have a good muscle car. ”
"But I don't know if there is one in China."
"It seems that the most popular ones in China are BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi, although these three cars are good, I don't like them very much."
“……”
Talking about the car, Shi Qingsong was very interested.
He bought a car in Amilliken, and he likes to drive out for a walk when he has nothing to do, so he has some research on this aspect.
In his memory.
Gu Xiu has never been interested in this thing, and it is rare to be able to hear that Gu Xiu is going to go to the auto show, which feels a little fresh.
But.
For his words, Gu Xiu just shook his head.
Buying a car?
He wasn't very interested in it.
To be honest, the cars of this year, even if they are luxurious luxury cars, are for Gu Xiu.
That's it.
If you have the ability, this car can let an eleven-year-old child drive at will, otherwise it's all.
This time.
Looking at the car is secondary.
To get to know the domestic car brand introduced by Cao Dawang is what Gu Xiu values the most.
Nothing to say all the way.
Two hours later, the plane landed in the magic capital, and as soon as the two walked out, they saw King Cao who was already waiting for him.
Cooperation with Yuanxiu Investment.
It can be regarded as giving King Cao enough confidence, so that the industrial tycoon, who had been frowning before, was completely relaxed at this moment.
After all.
Yuanxiu Investment not only gave money, but also provided them with legal help for Aamiliken, and now the legal team has been reorganized and is putting pressure on Amiliken's commercial department.
If nothing else, the recent antitrust case, which has been delayed for several years, will be settled.
At this time, I saw Gu Xiu again.
King Cao took the lead in giving Gu Xiu a hug, and then greeted Shi Qingsong on the side:
"Hello kids, we're meeting again."
"Alas, you are...... You're the uncle we saw on the plane last time! Shi Qingsong also remembered King Cao.
"Haha, the young man has such a good memory." King Cao laughed: "It's also fate." ”
"Uncle Cao, you've been waiting for a long time." Gu Xiu also spoke on the side.
"Hey, what's the long wait, I didn't arrive long before you, thinking about waiting for you right here."
King Cao waved his hand, then pointed to a person who was clearly dressed as a driver behind him:
"Let's go, don't keep people waiting too long."
Gu Xiu and Shi Qingsong immediately agreed, and the three of them set off immediately, got into the car they had been waiting for, and went straight to the International Convention and Exhibition Center.
On the way, King Cao introduced them to this auto show.
This auto show is an international auto show, and there are many brands, including luxury brands including Bentley, Rolls-Royce, etc., which is an annual event.
The same.
Since this kind of large-scale auto show is in China, it is natural that domestic brands will participate.
But.
At present, the situation of domestic cars is relatively embarrassing, and it is destined not to become the focus of attention at this auto show.
And Gu Xiu is going to see it this time.
It is a domestic car brand that is not well-known and has not even been heard of by many people in this era.
"The boss of this company is surnamed Wang, and we met when we attended the domestic entrepreneur conference before, and this person is very capable and has ideas."
"In 93 years, Lao Wang began to start a company, and at the beginning of the battery field, at that time he attached importance to independent research and development and production, with 20 people, with the improvement of nickel-cadmium battery production, it really took root."
"By '97, their company had grown into a medium-sized company with annual sales of nearly 100 million, and then they began to change direction."
"Because Lao Wang found that nickel-cadmium battery battery technology, no matter how much they improve the design, the technology is still behind others in the end, so it is better to change the track and transform to a track where no one is around."
"Lithium-ion batteries."
"I also asked him at the beginning, and he told me that domestic rechargeable battery manufacturers, if they want to achieve a qualitative leap, must get involved in lithium-ion batteries, otherwise they will always lag behind Neon and other competitors."
"And the final result proves that he was right this time."
"With the first research and development of lithium-ion batteries, although a lot of money has been invested in the early stage, it has also lost a lot of market share of the original nickel-cadmium battery."
"But after the success of the technology, they quickly began to occupy the market, and even received orders from big brands such as Motorola and Nokia one after another."
"Even now, they have snatched more than 60% of Neon's battery orders, and even in the global battery market, they are considered a serious giant."
Cao Dawang did not say the brand.
But Gu Xiu, who heard this, immediately understood which brand King Cao was talking about.
It's just that Shi Qingsong didn't understand: "Don't we want to look at the car, it seems that it is still a domestic car, how can it be pulled to the battery?" ”
"Don't worry." King Cao laughed:
"The car must be seen, the company I am talking about only started to get involved in cars a few years ago, and the Qingchuan Automobile they acquired, I don't know if you have heard of it?"
"Qingchuan car?" Shi Qingsong shook his head.
"Does Alto know?" King Cao asked again.
"I know." Shi Qingsong nodded again and again: "You can't be talking about Alto, this car...... Doesn't seem like a good idea, right? ”
"Haha, in fact, it's not bad, in the early years of the great transformation of domestic military enterprises, there were four companies that successively got the automobile manufacturing technology from Neon Suzuki, Chang'an Alto, Jiangnan Alto, Qingchuan Alto and Jiangbei Alto, at that time these four major enterprises produced Alto models at the same time."
"No wonder, I said why I can often see Alto, it turns out to be four productions." Shi Qingsong smashed his mouth, which can be regarded as a long insight.
"In fact, it's not four, because in the end, there are only two good ones, Qingchuan and Chang'an."
"After that, these two started to compete again, Chang'an was stronger, and Qingchuan was slowly suppressed and couldn't raise his head, which was considered a failure."
"At the beginning of the century, they did not give up, on the basis of the original Alto platform, they independently developed the Fryer car, and also invested 720 million to build a production line, and achieved good results in the first year of production."
"With the name of the cheapest car, in one year, they directly sold 17,000 cars, which was the best sales in that year."
"Why was it bought if it sold well?" Shi Qingsong was puzzled.
"This kind of old military industrial enterprise, the financial problem is relatively serious, even if the sales volume is good, but in fact, the profit is not high, I heard that their profit that year was only more than 700,000."
"You say, if you are the boss, looking at such a high sales volume and such a little profit, is your heart cold?"
Shi Qingsong nodded, these things were very foreign to him.
That's the good thing about chatting with the old rivers and lakes.
Long insight.
King Cao didn't stop explaining when he arrived:
"So, at that time, Qingchuan Automobile was actually thinking about finding a partner."
"In the second year, the car-making boom began to appear, and whether it was the home appliance industry, the mobile phone industry, or the tobacco industry, they all began to pour into the automobile industry like a tide."
"And the company I am talking about, also at this time, also began to enter the automobile manufacturing industry, just valued the economic situation of Qingchuan Automobile, the two sides hit it off, and chose to cooperate."
"This company spent 270 million yuan to acquire 77% of the shares of Qingchuan Automobile, and it seems that it has obtained 99% of the shares last year."
Speaking of which, the car has entered the parking lot of the International Convention and Exhibition Center.
Cao Dawang was the first to get out of the car, and there was a brand sign of this auto show right next to him.
Seeing that King Cao pointed to the dazzling array of brands, he smiled and said:
"And the company I'm talking about has now changed the name of Qingchuan Automobile."
"It's called ......"
"Biyadi!"
