Cao Yang's prediction is very accurate!

When the future car released the official announcement, it seemed that the owners of the future W9 realized that the content of the original five-minute video was true.

There is already a live-action version to experience.

In this way, the W9 will be more attractive in the future.

"Mr. Cao, I feel that according to the popularity of W9, let alone selling 2,000 or 3,000 units a month, there is no problem in selling 5,000 units a month."

"In the next step, if it can also sell well in overseas markets, then it is not a problem to sell more than 10,000 per month."

"In this way, our battery factory planning, which originally seemed to be radical, seems to be a bit conservative."

As the general manager of Nanshan Battery, Lin Cheng naturally does not want the business he is responsible for to lag behind.

Originally, Nanshan Battery could form a production capacity of 5GWH next year, which is the first in the country and even the world.

However, if the sales of W9 can reach the level of 100,000 units a year in the future, then the demand for future automobiles alone can exhaust the production capacity of Nanshan batteries.

Not to mention that they also need to supply batteries to energy storage stations, and other projects such as Yangcheng Trumpchi and Nanshan Yangcheng commercial vehicles.

Therefore, it is necessary to put the matter of adding a battery production line on the agenda.

"When we planned the factories in Modu, Chang'an and Imperial Capital, we had already reserved enough factory space for production expansion, and even some of the factories were built at the same time."

"Now you think that the production capacity will be a little tight, so just start expanding production."

"THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION OF A 1GWH PRODUCTION LINE DIRECTLY PUT INTO A NEW 2GWH."

"THEN WE WILL ALSO ADD 2GWH OF PRODUCTION CAPACITY HERE IN YANGCHENG TO FURTHER MEET OUR NEEDS."

"IN THIS WAY, NANSHAN BATTERY WILL BE ABLE TO FORM A PRODUCTION CAPACITY OF 10GWH NEXT YEAR, WHICH IS BASICALLY ENOUGH."

"Whether to further expand production in the future depends on the development trend of the market."

Cao Yang is not worried about Nanshan Battery's capacity planning.

All battery production equipment, Nanshan equipment can be produced, or can be found in the country to find a suitable manufacturer to produce.

Therefore, as long as Nanshan battery is needed, Nanshan equipment can get the production line out in half a year.

This speed is almost a year faster than that of other battery companies.

After all, other battery companies must have some equipment imported from overseas, and it is impossible to compress the cycle to less than 1 year.

"10GWH next year will definitely be enough!"

"However, according to this pace of development, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Nanshan Battery to make a profit in the past two years."

Lin Cheng naturally hopes that the larger the scale of Nanshan battery, the better.

However, if you invest so much, the depreciation expense will be very high, and the financial statements will not look good.

Fortunately, Cao Yang did not expect Nanshan Battery to contribute high profits to the group so quickly.

The era of electric vehicles has not yet arrived, so don't worry!

At that time, the battery factory will have a production capacity of 10GWH in a factory at every turn, and it is normal for a company to have a production capacity of dozens of GWH.

Even Nanshan Battery can build a 100GWH gigafactory if it needs to in the future.

Directly available to customers throughout South China.

"Making money is not the main task of Nanshan Battery, constantly improving battery technology, improving energy density, power density, improving battery safety, and relieving everyone's concerns about battery fire is the most important thing you need to do."

"As for profits, once these things are done, they come naturally."

As soon as Cao Yang said this, Lin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He can roll up his sleeves and do a big job.

And just when the popularity of the unexpected video of W9 in China was not decreasing in the future, I don't know who uploaded this video to YouTube.

Within a few days, this video immediately became the most popular video on YouTube.

"Max, did you see this video?"

Musco directly called Max, Tesla's R&D director, to him.

For him, some changes were more than planned.

"I've seen that being able to do this level of autonomous driving is more powerful than I thought."

"We need to recruit more apes in Silicon Valley, otherwise the development speed of automated driving will not be able to catch up."

"And we also need to develop the main control chip to fully realize the performance in this area."

"There are no automotive-grade chips on the market that can meet the requirements."

Max just went to China on a business trip some time ago, and personally negotiated with Nanshan Equipment for the purchase order of two super die-casting machines.

For the situation of Nanshan Group and Future Automobile, it is naturally relatively familiar.

Especially the future car is so popular in China during this time, even the American automobile media can't help but reprint some content.

"I don't care what method I use, our new car has now been postponed to the next year, and the level of autonomous driving at that time must not be worse than the future W9, otherwise Tesla will have no future!"

Musco made his request to Max very seriously.

"Is the car of the future ready to enter the American market?"

Max's heart was cold, and he felt a stronger sense of urgency.

"I heard that they still cooperated with Ford Motor to sell cars in the American market, but this time their cooperation model is completely different from the past."

"They only used some of Ford's dealer channels to help take care of the delivery and after-sales maintenance of the future W9."

"Experience stores in various cities, I heard that Future Auto is ready to take charge of it personally."

"In this way, even if the future car officially enters the American market, consumers will compare the two of us together in the future."

Musco seemed to anticipate unfavorable scenarios in the future.

One step behind, one step behind.

If you want to catch up, you need to put in more effort.

"Large SUVs have always been popular with consumers in the American market, and this time the W9 should be able to meet the needs of some people in the future."

"Looks like we really need to hurry!"

Max naturally has some understanding of the market situation in the United States.

With the competitiveness of the W9 in the future, it should not be a big problem to sell 1,000 units per month in the United States at that time.

For an electric car, this is already a very big breakthrough.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Future Auto has begun to gain a firm foothold overseas.

The speed of going to sea is faster than that of Xingchen Automobile.

And these movements of automobiles overseas in the future naturally make many car companies a little nervous.

"Melgen, our layout of electric vehicles is relatively slow, do you think the consumer demand for electric vehicles is strong enough?"

Murali finally took Ford out of the quagmire and turned a profit, naturally he didn't want the situation to fall into passivity again.

In the past two years, the entire automotive industry has set off a new energy trend, and he can naturally feel it.

But so far, everyone has only stayed on some relatively grand plans, and there are not many actual actions.

Even General Motors, which started the layout of electric vehicles very early, is actually making a small fuss.

The cars that make real money are still large-displacement SUVs and pickup trucks.

Electric cars are more like toys.

But this time, the W9 of the future car has brought a new change to the electric vehicle industry.

Whether it is the use of integrated die-casting technology, or the emergence of a super-large central control screen, or the undisputed world's first level of autonomous driving.

All of them have made many people look forward to the future sales of W9.

It's a big electric SUV that can put pressure on even the biggest car giants.

"The oil price in Huaxia is relatively high, especially relative to their income, refueling is a relatively large expense for car maintenance."

"In addition, Huaxia's dependence on foreign crude oil is very high, and automobile sales are increasing rapidly, so in order to reduce the dependence of crude oil on foreign countries, Huaxia has introduced a series of policies to support the development of new energy vehicles."

"In this context, it is normal for the electric vehicle market in China to develop relatively quickly."

"But except for California, where the promotion of clean energy is relatively large, other states are not so quick to introduce policies to strongly support electric vehicles."

Clearly, Melgan doesn't feel that Ford needs to go all-in on electric vehicles right now.

Of course, his words were also in the context of the situation Murali is in.

The development of electric vehicles means increasing investment in related research and development, and for Ford, it will take at least hundreds of millions of dollars to build a car from scratch.

In the end, this investment will not contribute to Ford's earnings report in the foreseeable future.

This kind of investment is certainly not worth the current Ford effort.

"You're right, we in the United States are not without electric car companies, and Tesla has made a lot of trouble, but so far it hasn't come up with a model that really sells."

"As for making money, it's even more distant."

"In this case, we can appropriately arrange some R&D funds to research the technology of electric vehicles, and the rest of the focus is still on traditional fuel vehicles."

Listening to Melgan's words, Murali took the opportunity to give his opinion.

This opinion cannot be said to be wrong for the current Ford Motor.

The same judgment basically happened on the side of Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz.

On the contrary, BMW has been stimulated by the future W9 and has further increased its investment in the research and development of electric vehicles.

After all, it was they who started to engage in electric vehicles, but so far, BMW's electric vehicle sales have been caught up by Future Cars.

This situation is certainly not what BMW people want to see.

"Aimoha, the headquarters is considering setting up a research and development center in Huaxia to focus on the development of electric vehicles."

"Do you think this decision is feasible?"

As the president of BMW Asia Pacific, Phillips naturally has a good understanding of the Chinese market.

In particular, the electric vehicle market in China has developed particularly rapidly in the past two years.

To put it mildly, Huaxia is not only the world's largest automobile market, but also the world's largest electric vehicle market.

"There are many suppliers in Huaxia who have a layout for the three electric parts involved in electric vehicles, and it is not very difficult to find suppliers who can supply the corresponding parts."

"But at the German headquarters, there are basically no battery companies that can get their hands on, and in terms of motors, the mainland has just started to study for a few years, and the products are not very rich."

"As for other electric vehicle parts, they are also very selective."

"Therefore, I think it is very appropriate and necessary to place the R&D center of electric vehicles in Huaxia."

As the general manager of Huaxia District, Ai Moha naturally hopes that the functions of the West China Branch will be as sound as possible.

This also means that he, as the general manager, has more power.

Isn't it true that people at his level are pursuing the feeling of being in control of the world?

If the salary is not paid, it is secondary!

"I also think so, there are a large number of battery manufacturers in Huaxia, and the production capacity of any one is much higher than that of our domestic battery manufacturers."

"And Huaxia's battery manufacturers generally have some products equipped in mass production models, and the relevant parameters and information are also of reference significance."

"However, since the headquarters wants to set up a R&D center in Huaxia, I think it is better to be thorough, and the wheelbase extended version of the model in the future can be considered to be handed over to the R&D center here in Huaxia for development."

In order to take into account their own handling, many models of BMW cars do not have a very long wheelbase.

However, Chinese consumers have a soft spot for models with a long wheelbase, and the ride comfort in the rear row of such models will be higher.

Therefore, whether it is BMW or Audi, it will launch an extended version of the model in Huaxia.

What A6L, Q5L, these L's all represent the meaning of the extended version.

The development of these extended models is relatively simple.

Phillips thinks that it should not matter if it is handed over to the R&D center of Huaxia.

Besides, Huaxia already has a local car brand like Xingchen Automobile, and how to develop a new car is no secret to Huaxia.

That's why Phillips boldly proposed to set up an electric vehicle R&D center in China.

In the end, combined with the feedback from the Asia-Pacific region, the headquarters basically agreed to this direction.

It's just that there's no final decision yet.

"I think what you said is very reasonable, the Huaxia R&D Center must have the best understanding of the needs of Huaxia consumers."

"It's very necessary to make some adjustments in a targeted manner."

"Our sales are expected to soar to 150,000 units this year, and we may exceed 200,000 units next year."

"The Chinese market is becoming more and more important for BMW."

"We should make some targeted layouts."

As soon as Amoha said this, Phillips looked forward to the future even more.

200,000 a year!

This figure is nothing at all for Toyota and Volkswagen.

But for BMW, a luxury brand, this sales volume is already more than 10% of global sales.

It's a market that can't be ignored anymore.

The most important thing is that the scale of luxury cars in this market is still rising, and BMW's sales in China may not be 200,000 in the future, but 400,000 units.

"Then next time we'll fly back to headquarters together and report on the proposal in this regard."

Just when Phillips and other car companies were busy stirring up the electric car storm for the future car, Cao Yang, the initiator, began to take a vacation.

Cao Yang can't be considered a workaholic, but he doesn't usually have too many vacation concepts.

But this time it's different!

Fang Sisi is going to give birth!

For the Cao family, this is definitely a big deal!

Not only does her mother Zhang Xiuli care very much, but her uncle Zhang Fugui also came back, and her cousin Zhang Xin also flew back to Yangcheng from the imperial capital.

As for the Fang family's side, it was naturally no exception.

The Nanshan Group has a big business, and the Cao family really needs someone to inherit it.

Cao Yang has never had children, which is a very big hidden danger for the development of Nanshan Group in the eyes of many people.

It's like if the emperor in ancient times didn't have a son, then the ministers would be very worried.

Even having no son will affect the mentality of an emperor.

For example, Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty knew that keeping his eldest brother Zhu Qizhen was a disaster, but he never took action against Zhu Qizhen.

Because he has no son!

Even if he kills his eldest brother Zhu Qizhen, the throne will still be Zhu Qizhen's son after he dies.

Will the new emperor be kind to him, the former emperor who killed his father?

Ancient people were very particular about the treatment after death.

Because he has no son, Zhu Qiyu knows that it is meaningless for him to deal with his eldest brother Zhu Qizhen, so he will let Zhu Qizhen collude with the ministers of the court and the central government, and finally make the change of Tumubao, Zhu Qizhen, who has been a prisoner for several years, can actually be the emperor again.

That's weird enough.

"Why haven't you given birth yet?"

Outside the delivery room of Yangcheng Women and Children's Central Hospital, Cao Yang kept walking back and forth, unable to calm down at all.

Fang Sisi said that her stomach hurt when she got up this morning, and then Cao Yang hurriedly sent her over.

The head of the obstetrics department at the hospital is personally responsible for arranging the delivery, and normally there will be no surprises.

However, almost a day has passed, and he has not heard the news of the birth of the child, and Cao Yang is also anxious.

"The first child is not born so quickly, you don't have to worry."

Zhang Xiuli is a person from the past, and it is normal to know that she has not been born yet.

"Yes, although it started to hurt in the morning, it wasn't until the afternoon that I really entered the delivery room, and I opened my three fingers, not so fast."

"I guess it's almost just the point of opening five fingers now, and I guess I'll have to wait another hour or two."

Although Cao Yang's mother-in-law is also quite worried about her daughter's situation, she is relatively calm.

The old man was busy with work, so he couldn't come over at all.

"The baby's fetal position is very positive, all indicators are very normal, and it has been successfully entered the basin, so there is no need to worry."

"You don't have to walk around there, we're upset when we go."

As soon as Zhang Xiuli said this, Cao Yang had to force himself to calm down.

Sitting on the stool, I picked up the mineral water and took a sip, so I could only continue to wait honestly.

Fortunately, the little one didn't make everyone wait too long.

More than half an hour later, the door to the delivery room opened, and the nurse came out with a little ugly-looking boy with wrinkled skin.

"Mr. Cao, congratulations, you are a little boy!"

This congratulations must be the most popular of all the blessings Cao Yang has received in the past.

Needless to say, at this time, someone naturally helped to distribute big red envelopes to everyone.

In 2010, the issue of receiving red envelopes was not so sensitive.

This kind of red envelope given by the big boss after giving birth to a child is not too much pressure for everyone to put it away.

Prince Nanshan is officially born from today!

However, Cao Yang is not a person with such low emotional intelligence, and now is definitely not the time to look at his son carefully, but quickly came to Fang Sisi's side, held her hand, and chatted with her with a smile.

In this regard, the mother-in-law is naturally quite satisfied.

In the next few days, Fang Sisi was discharged from the hospital and went home, and naturally there were special confinement ladies and others who were responsible for taking care of the children.

And the news that Cao Yang has a son has also spread within a certain range.

Cao Yang didn't talk much nonsense, and directly asked Dong Shengnan to give everyone a double salary this month.

There are more than 100,000 people in Nanshan Group, and the amount of this double salary is definitely not small.

This "big red envelope" made the people of Nanshan Group very happy.

And people outside can only be envious and jealous.

"Fortunately, I jumped to Nanshan Group this year, I really came to the right place."

Lin Tiansheng was very happy and made an appointment with Liang Hualong to have dinner together.

Before that, he worked in the sales department of Yangcheng Honda, although it was a good job, even better than the job of Nanshan Group that Liang Hualong was looking for.

However, it couldn't stand the rapid development of Nanshan Group, and soon left Yangcheng Honda behind.

Today's Nanshan Group is one of the private enterprises that Chinese fresh graduates want to go to.

This change is just a few years.

"You are indeed more timely here, and now it can be said that it is the most glorious time for our group."

Liang Hualong used to have acne on his face, and no one cared about chasing girls.

In the past few years, his income has risen rapidly, and after he bought a Jaguar F-TYPE, he immediately found a girlfriend.

Not only that, but the girlfriend is also the kind with white skin and beautiful long legs.

Sometimes, it is difficult for ordinary people to see the initiative of the goddess in their hearts.

Because people's initiative is not for you.

"I don't think this is the most glorious time for Nanshan Group, according to the current development trend, Nanshan Group will become more and more brilliant year by year."

"It is not impossible to become the largest enterprise in China in the future."

Lin Tiansheng is definitely full of confidence in Nanshan Group now.

If it weren't for his love for F1 and his confidence in Nanshan Group, he wouldn't have jumped ship at this time.

After all, in 2010, the work of Yangcheng Honda was still very good.

"That's just as well!"

"It is already the largest private enterprise, and it is not impossible to become the largest enterprise in the future!"

"Even if it is tobacco and oil, the scale is not unsurpassable!"

"Even this year, we can surpass one of them."

Liang Hualong and Lin Tiansheng are full of confidence in Nanshan Group, which is actually not an exception.

In the entire Nanshan Group, there are few people who do not have confidence in the future of the group!
