The current DJI is far from being as powerful as later generations.

It hasn't even started to rise yet, it belongs to a bunch of start-ups, and it's not a particularly outstanding existence.

What is the level of this valuation given by Cao Yang, Wang Tao also knows in his heart.

So after thinking about it for a while, he decisively agreed.

There are ternary lithium batteries with the best performance provided by Nanshan Battery, and even some other parts can be produced by Nanshan Auto Parts.

This is something to look forward to for DJI.

The most important thing is that with this fund, Wang Tao can produce the drone in his heart faster.

Of course, investing in DJI was an unexpected and unintentional move for Cao Yang.

He is very confident in Wang Tao's ability, so he did not point fingers at DJI.

Instead, the focus continues to be placed on the automotive industry.

"Mr. Cao, BMW protested with us, saying that we support Zotye Auto's imitation of their BMW X6, which affects BMW's brand power."

Early in the morning, Zeng Tingting reported to Cao Yang something that made people a little speechless.

As an alternative among domestic independent brands, Zotye Auto has readjusted its development direction since last year.

Benchmark the hot-selling models of luxury car companies, and directly make a copycat version of the low-cost Zotye version, which can attract the attention of some consumers.

The BMW X6 is the first "borrowing" model chosen by Zotye Auto.

From the iconic kidney grille to the interior and exterior design, the Zotye ZX6 looks almost exactly like the BMW X6.

As long as you cut out the logo of the Zotye car behind the butt, change the logo on the front grille, and then dig out the Z of the ZX6, basically few people can tell whether this is the BMW X6 or not.

Even Zotye has cooperated with dealers to launch special modification services.

Don't want 1 million, don't want 500,000, as long as 99,900 yuan, you can have a "BMW X6".

This is definitely in line with the needs of some people to buy a car.

The most obvious is that some matchmaking service companies directly purchased a batch of Zotye ZX6.

So since its launch at the end of November, sales of the Zotye ZX6 have soared to more than 5,000 units.

This is several times more than the sales of the BMW X6.

BMW, which was originally dismissive of Zotye ZX6, immediately panicked.

"Our engines and gearboxes are not only supplied to Zotye, but also to other independent brand car companies such as Chery, Geely, Great Wall, Changan, BYD and so on."

"Isn't BMW making trouble?"

Cao Yang originally supported Zotye Automobile to engage in BMW's models because the relationship between BMW and Nanshan Group was very poor at that time.

So who to look for if you don't look for BMW?

It's just that now the two sides have just signed a strategic cooperation agreement on batteries, and the relationship has become a little different.

For the sake of the future interests of Nanshan Battery, Cao Yang's thinking must have changed a little.

BMW also saw this, so it dared to ask Zeng Tingting to protest.

"Yes, but the reason why Zotye's ZX6 sells so well does have something to do with the parts we provide."

"On the brochure of the Zotye ZX6, it is even directly mentioned that the engine and gearbox of this car using the Nanshan engine and Nanshan transmission are one of the promotional points."

"In addition, the ESP, instrument and other parts of this car are also purchased from Nanshan Auto Parts."

"To say that we support it, in fact, it can't be said that there is no reason at all."

Zeng Tingting explained a little crying and laughing.

"ABB, the best foreign-funded luxury model sold in China is Audi."

"Go back and talk to Zotye to see if the next car is considered for pancreatic cancer Audi Q7 or Audi Q5."

"Anyway, for Zotye Automobile, Audi's two models are more well-known, and if you learn from them, the effect should not be bad."

This matter does not involve the core interests of Nanshan Group, so Cao Yang feels that it is not impossible to give a step.

It also allowed BMW to see the influence of Nanshan Group in China.

The position of the leader of the martial arts alliance in the automobile industry will sooner or later belong to Nanshan Group.

When any car company competes with Nanshan Group in the Chinese market, it must think carefully about whether the tricks they use are normal business methods.

If so, then there is a high probability that Nanshan Group will not have special countermeasures.

If not, then you're waiting to be packed up with more means.

"It's okay, or Audi A6L can also be considered, this car is more well-known, and when Zotye makes a ZA6 out, it is estimated that Audi people will be mad."

Zeng Tingting has no good impression of Audi cars.

No matter what industry it is, the relationship between the eldest and the second is unlikely to be very good.

It's just that BMW probably didn't expect that Nanshan Automobile had just finished Zotye Automobile, but other car companies were about to move.

"Mr. Chen, if Zotye Auto's ZX6 continues to sell at this rate, it will be able to recover the cost in a year at most, and you can start making money later."

"The most important thing is that relying on the ZX6, Zotye Automobile's sales may exceed 60,000 units next year, or even challenge 100,000 units."

"A car company that originally didn't have any fame, relying on such a special tactic, has risen rapidly."

"I think we can learn this way."

"We can even learn more thoroughly, and even make the name of the car the same."

"Anyway, if the other party wants to sue us, then take it slowly."

"After a few years of lawsuits, even if we lose in the end, we are still winners."

Mo Fang is the design director of Landwind Motors, and since the company was founded in 2004, there has not been a single product to sell, and his pressure is also very high.

Landwind is the first Sino-Chinese joint venture between Changan Automobile and Jiangling Motors, and both shareholders have some expectations for it.

If you can't make any achievements, then you are likely to be abandoned by shareholders.

Then the position of Mozambique's design director will definitely be gone.

"Zotye ZX6 is a reference to the BMW X6, which car are you going to learn from Zotye?"

Chen Jiabing, as the general manager of Landwind Motors, naturally has some pressure and hopes to improve the company's performance.

Now that Mozambique has taken the initiative to come up with a plan that seems to work, he has no reason to oppose it.

"X5, let's make a Landwind X5, all against the BMW X5 shape."

"Even in order to facilitate the modification of consumers, we can even directly not install the 'Landwind car' logo on the rear of the car."

"The whole car is also to reduce the appearance of car logos as much as possible, which plays a role in making the real thing fake."

Since they have already thought about taking the road of "borrowing (plagiarism)", Mo Fang thinks that it is better to make a profit.

At that time, consumers should fully feel that Landwind X5 is the face of BMW X5.

Not to mention that the sales volume of Zotye ZX6 in one month is slightly lower, which is also very worth looking forward to.

Once the Landwind X5 is successful, it will immediately be able to launch new models against other hot-selling luxury models such as the BMW 5 Series, and Landwind will also be able to occupy a place in the domestic auto market.

"X5?"

"This model is good."

"The more successful models in China are generally SUVs, and we also want to engage in SUVs at the beginning."

"However, there should be some unique technology on BMW, such as their four-wheel drive system, and it is a bit difficult for us to learn from it, right?"

Chen Jiabing also has a clear understanding of the company's own strength.

It is definitely unreliable to study a four-wheel drive system by yourself.

If you buy from other suppliers, the estimated cost will not be low.

"Mr. Chen, I think that in the chassis, where consumers can't see, it can be appropriately simplified and the cost can be reduced as much as possible."

"Otherwise, the cost will remain high, and it will be meaningless if you can't make money."

"We just need to make the exterior and interior as exactly the same as possible, anyway, most consumers who sit in this car, they can't feel the difference between the Landwind X5 and the BMW X5."

Mozambique has a good understanding of the professional level of domestic car consumers.

Most people don't know how to drive at all.

It's just that everyone goes to choose a car.

Even by pressing the softness and hardness of the hood to determine whether the safety of the car is good.

If the safety of the car is really directly related to the hardness of the hood, you can easily produce the hood.

It's not that hard.

"Your statement is also reasonable, then the design department will come up with the specific plan and schedule as soon as possible, and then see how much budget is needed, and I will report to the directors."

Chen Jiabing agreed to Mozambique's plan without any hesitation.

However, Mo Fang put forward a bolder idea, saying: "Mr. Chen, Zotye Automobile uses a large number of parts from Nanshan Group, and the cost should not be low. ”

"The 99,900 entry-level version they made is most likely not to make any money."

"I think Landwind X5 needs to avoid this mistake as much as possible, and use parts from other domestic manufacturers as much as possible to minimize the cost."

"Anyway, consumers who buy this car are mainly for its appearance."

"You can buy a 1 million-level model at a price of 99,900, and many people must be very interested."

"Even some scumbags are estimated to buy or lease this kind of car to pick up girls."

When Mo Fang said this, Chen Jiabing was a little hesitant.

Although the parts of Nanshan Group are more expensive than the products of other private enterprises, the quality is still very reliable.

The rapid development of domestic independent brands in recent years is inseparable from the contribution of Nanshan Group.

"You first come up with a specific plan and discuss it within the company."

"If you can minimize the cost, that's the best."

Mozambique's plan is considered from the perspective of maximizing the company's profits, and Chen Jiabing could not find a reason to refute it.

Who doesn't want to make money?

Who wants to share the profits with Nanshan Group?

At that time, they will be notorious, but the profits will be earned by Nanshan Group, which will be a little depressing.

For this movement of Landwind cars, BMW cars naturally do not know.

Now Phillips and Amoha are happy with the reply from the Nanshan Group.

"Nanshan Group has already called and said that the next model of Zotye Automobile will not learn from our BMW car."

"However, the Zotye ZX6 that has been pushed out now, they can't do anything, after all, the design is not provided by Nanshan Group, it is made by Zotye Automobile itself."

"I think this reply is basically true."

"Now we can prevent more models from being copied by companies like Zotye Automobile, which is also a good result."

Amoha never expected a protest to discontinue the ZX6.

Not to mention that this car is produced by Zotye Automobile, which has no shareholding relationship with Nanshan Group, even if it is produced by a company under Nanshan Group, it is impossible to stop production so easily.

Otherwise, wouldn't all the molds and equipment invested before be invalid?

Who will bear this loss?

Is it possible that BMW cars go upside down?

"What you said is also reasonable, it seems that on the Huaxia side, it is still a little useful to have a good relationship with a company with a relatively large influence like Nanshan Group."

Phillips is a little glad that he chose Nanshan Battery as BMW's battery supplier.

On the one hand, the technology of Nanshan battery is advanced enough, which has basically been confirmed.

On the other hand, the Nanshan Group behind Nanshan Battery has an extraordinary influence in the Huaxia automotive industry.

Many companies have to sell some face to some extent.

Especially Huaxia's own brands, if they leave Nanshan Group, basically none of them can have a good life now.

"Zotye Auto does not copy our products, so there is a high probability that it will copy Mercedes-Benz or Audi products."

"When the time comes, maybe we can make a little fuss about it."

Aimoha couldn't help but smile when he thought about the future of Audi Q5 and Q7, or Mercedes-Benz ML450 and other models being "borrowed" by Zotye.

Dead friends do not die poor.

This is true everywhere.

……

"Mr. Cao, are you still not going to participate in this year's supplier conferences of various OEMs?"

2008 has almost passed, and various car companies have begun to hold various summary meetings.

The sales department conducts the dealer conference, and the purchasing department conducts the supplier conference.

These two meetings are basically held by every OEM every year.

This year will be no exception.

"If you don't go, there are so many customers, if you go to the east and don't go to the west, it's easy to offend people, and you don't go to any of them like in previous years, but it's better."

Cao Yang gave the answer without any hesitation.

Although the subsidiaries of Nanshan Group can receive various awards such as excellent supplier, cost contribution award, supply guarantee award, and best quality award from each OEM every year.

If he goes to a company's supplier conference, there is a high probability that they will also award the best award to Nanshan Group.

But Cao Yang really doesn't have much interest in these things now.

"It doesn't matter if the supplier conference doesn't go down, but you can't help but attend the National Science and Technology Progress Award Ceremony held in the imperial capital on January 9."

"Although I don't know the final award, our group definitely has a good award."

"This is a very good opportunity to demonstrate the technical strength of our group."

Zeng Tingting said this, but Cao Yang did not refuse again.

The scale of attendance at this award ceremony is not comparable to that of ordinary OEMs supplier conferences, and Huaxia TV will even broadcast live.

In previous years, sometimes I didn't participate, and when it passed, it passed.

This year, when someone specifically told him to go, it was obviously inappropriate for Cao Yang not to go.

"When the time comes, you and Mi Ying will coordinate the time, and just take this opportunity to go around the various companies in the imperial capital."

"Then our group's summary meeting will be held in advance to the New Year's Day holiday?"

"This year's Spring Festival is at the end of January, and if you come back from the imperial capital to hold a summary meeting, it may be a little late."

"The front-line employees in various factories are probably considering going home early."

The group summary meeting at the beginning of each year is a meeting that Nanshan Group is very concerned about.

With the development and growth of Nanshan Group, the influence of this conference is no longer limited to Nanshan Group.

Whether it is Lingnan Province or Yangcheng City, and even the competitors and partners of Nanshan Group, they are also very concerned about the news delivered in this meeting.

Over the years, as long as the goals mentioned in the summary meeting of Nanshan Group have basically not failed.

In a sense, this is also a way to figure out Nanshan Group's true view of the development of the industry.

After all, Nanshan Group's judgment is much more reliable than the judgment opinions provided by many experts.

"Okay, let's move it to January 3rd."

"When the time comes, we will have to make everyone work overtime again."

Although Cao Yang himself often works overtime, he does not particularly respect the overtime culture.

As long as you can complete your work on time, you can commute to and from work on time every day.

Of course, you also need to be able to accommodate overtime days if necessary.

"Mr. Cao, now the impact of the financial crisis is getting bigger and bigger, even if there are various stimulus policies, all walks of life are not very prosperous."

"This is especially true abroad."

"At this time, our summary meeting received more attention."

"I think we can take this opportunity to make some of our group's plans public?"

"For example, the production capacity arrangement of Nanshan engine and Nanshan transmission, the construction plan of the new plant, the expansion progress of Nanshan carbon fiber and Nanshan special steel, and other projects."

"Even some news of Nanshan Semiconductor can be further publicized to the outside world, attracting everyone's attention, which is more conducive to the recruitment of talents."

Zeng Tingting further put forward an idea.

All kinds of things that can be used must be fully explored to their use value.

This is already Zeng Tingting's work habit.

"Your proposal is very good, Lingnan Province and Yangcheng City should very much want us to do this."

"Some of the new factory construction plans also need the support and cooperation of some suppliers."

"It's important to give them confidence in the future."

Cao Yang also realized that in such a special period at the end of 2008, it was still very necessary for Nanshan Group to stand up and boost everyone's confidence in the economy.

And this approach can win the favor of many departments.

"Our group was founded in 1992 and has been around for 16 years now."

"Even if it is calculated from the beginning of the transformation in 1999, it has been 9 years."

"Why don't we just hold a large-scale anniversary celebration next year, and take this opportunity to let everyone see the influence of our group and confidence in the future economic development?"

Zeng Tingting's plans came out one after another.

However, Cao Yang is noncommittal about this approach.

Be high-profile when it's time to be high-key, and low-key when it's time to be low-key.

If a company's anniversary celebration is too exaggerated, it is not necessarily a good thing.

Maybe one day, the speech at the anniversary celebration will be used as a joke to satirize the Nanshan Group.

……

"Leader, the year-end summary meeting of Nanshan Group is scheduled for January 3."

"This time, they took the initiative to share with us the arrangements of this conference, and I feel that this year's summary conference may be a little different from previous years."

Luo Yi has been tracking the movements of the Nanshan Group all these years, and he may know more about some content than Cao Yang.

And he can be regarded as a thorough witness to the rise of Nanshan Group.

Especially when the impact of the financial crisis is getting bigger and bigger this year, Nanshan Group has played a role in the anchor of economic development in Yangcheng.

Now as long as it is related to Nanshan Group, all departments attach great importance to it.

If you are not careful, it may go to the hands of the leaders of Lingnan Province.

"Nanshan Group's actions in the past six months are obviously much more radical than in previous years, and what important news to be announced at this summary meeting is also in line with everyone's expectations."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how far their turnover will go this year."

Seeing that Luo Yi was reporting on matters related to Nanshan Group, Liu Tianwu directly put down the work in his hand and communicated with Luo Yi.

Over the years, the development of Nanshan Group has been too fast, and Liu Tianwu found that he sometimes had to keep up with the pace of change of Nanshan Group.

It's like Nanshan Group suddenly invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the semiconductor industry this year, which is a bit beyond Liu Tianwu's expectations.

It's a tough bone to gnaw on.

"Judging from the situation in the past 11 months, there is basically a high probability event that the target will be exceeded this year."

"In particular, the sales volume of Xingchen Automobile has almost doubled, which directly contributes to the output value of almost 100 billion yuan."

"Relying on this change, our Yangcheng is firmly in the position of the largest automobile city in China."

Various cities in China are also facing all kinds of competition.

Everyone hopes that their city can have more firsts, which is a political achievement.

"I'll call Mr. Cao when I go back and see if it's inconvenient for me to go and listen to their summary meeting."

Liu Tianwu, who was itching, put forward a very special idea.

This made Luo Yi a little embarrassed.

However, after tentatively communicating with Nanshan Group, Cao Yang actually called Liu Tianwu directly.
