Chapters 29-31: Our Goal! (3 chapters in total)
Gao Huaijun hurriedly wanted to get on the B-class car this time, instead of waiting for 6 years later, that is, 15 years after the battery technology and car supporting facilities were perfected.
It is a deliberate consideration.
The core reason is that Hillhouse Technology, such an electronic technology company with a history of 4 years.
In addition to the consumer goods market, there is also a rapidly expanding corporate business and an ICT business that has made a fortune, as was the case with Zhongwei in later generations!
To some extent, although Gao Huaijun used the name Mate series, in fact, Hillhouse Technology is more inclined to an optimized version of Xiaomi.
It's just that compared with Xiaomi, the initial research and development in the field of chips is stronger!
The foundation of such a company is still too thin.
Moreover, not counting the ICT sector, the field of electronic technology is affected by the supporting information industry, which is too great!
In 09 years, the average income level of Chinese residents is not high, the construction of 4G and 5G is still in progress, the relevant APP ecology is not sound enough, and the development wave of electronic technology has not come.
The traverser is not omnipotent, and these large supporting facilities are completely unrealistic without an investment of trillions.
These ecological facilities, including Gao Huaijun's very hot EUV lithography machine in his previous life, are completely impossible to establish with Gao Huaijun's billions of funds.
However, if Hillhouse Technology is not expanding downstream, but developing horizontally
You let this company go against the already very strong ICT business of Zhongwei, and mature companies like Alcatel-Lucent.
That can't be played at all, Gao Huaijun has the core advantage of crossing the information gap.
Therefore, in order to give full play to the advantages of Hillhouse Technology in electronic technology, empower the research and development of new vehicles of Lingxiao Technology, and make every effort to build the technological moat of Hillhouse Group.
Do a good job in the concept and product matrix of science and technology +.
He must make a breakthrough in the field of B-class cars!
The combination of ICT+ car tracks, whether it is BYD in the previous life or Zhongwei Wenjie, shows that this track is very interesting and full of gimmicks!
How much money can a hatchback make?
The core customer group of cars is still some 30-50 young men to buy, and the 'summer' hatchback can only make some young women spend some money to buy some.
The market itself is very narrow and not large.
Large automakers will still focus on this kind of mini car, but on the A type car and the B type car.
For example, Lavida, Accord, Sylphy, BYD Qin, etc., these products are volume cars.
The later Model 3 is the core volume product of Truss.
Now that Gao Huaijun is carrying the advantages of ICT, combined with the new aesthetics of later generations, as well as Huaguo's unique advantages of low R&D (low salary), he doesn't believe it, he is worse than the current Truss!
Therefore, Gao Huaijun is an imperative determination for Hillhouse Technology to enter the automotive field.
However, he still underestimated the reaction of Lingxiao Technology to B-class cars in society.
In 09, car license plates are not scarce, but companies that can make cars and produce economic benefits are really scarce.
"This Hillhouse company is silent, and it is going to make a big news! Why didn't they bring it up during the last negotiations? If you build this new B-segment car of theirs in the magic capital, we will give you a better discount! ”
"Hey! Who knows if he can handle this large car! Modu Automobile is engaged in independent B-class cars, which are not very good, this is just a small business, and it used to be engaged in mobile phones, which is really not accurate. ”
"This kind of large car, there is no one who can't be made in three years and five years! They don't tell us about such a big thing! ”
"This is an opportunity and a challenge for Tin City!"
After confirming the authenticity of this incident, the attitudes of many leaders who were still in a wait-and-see state changed and they were divided into two extreme factions.
There are those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to win over and want to place heavy bets.
I feel that Hillhouse Group is not very good, and I think it is a pity.
Of course, this kind of action is impossible to hide from someone with a heart.
When many peers learned that a mobile phone company like Hillhouse Technology wanted to really get involved in automobile research and development on a large scale, they couldn't help but laugh.
Playing with a mobile phone?
Not to mention playing cars, it is still the most difficult to play and the most competitive B-class car.
Isn't that the same thing as making sake for a motorcycle?
!
This is!
Don't talk about big-name companies like the German top three and the Japanese top three.
Even some small domestic enterprises, such as Changcheng and Xiali, are laughing.
Huaguo Automobile, after so many years of development, if it can really rush up and gain a firm foothold in the field of B-class cars, why is there no company that can rush up?
Is it that they don't work hard?
Or is their group of people not good at IQ?
Don't challenge the path that has been tried before and won't work!
Otherwise, you Gao Huaijun will definitely hit a wall!
。。。。。。
The imperial capital, an intimate golf course.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a polo shirt was clubbing a golf club, watching another person swinging a long club, while next to him was a caddie who helped pick up the ball and provided the service of handing and closing the club.
Changcheng Lao Wei has always liked this sport.
The amount of activity is not large, and you can breathe fresh air outdoors, which is definitely a rare exercise suitable for middle-aged people like him who lack physical strength.
What's more, you can also chat about intimate topics outdoors.
This is also the reason why some golf courses have been thriving for a long time.
"Lao Wei, I haven't played for a long time, what have you been busy with lately, how are your H5 and H7 selling?" Another middle-aged man on the side asked.
This person is the Ji Boli!
Then he waved his hand like a caddie standing nearby, telling him to leave for a moment to help them get a few bottles of water.
"So-so! You also know that in this era, Huaguo Automobile can only compete in the middle and low end, and there is no opportunity for domestic cars in the market, so you can only come step by step! This compact urban SUV is still very marketable! Lao Wei wiped his face with the wet towel that was placed aside and sighed.
"I heard that you want to expand your market share in the East China area and build a few more 4S points, but you called some channel providers here, but there was no response every time, is this the same thing?" Ji Boli took off his hat, fanned the wind, and then asked indifferently.
"This... For the reason of corporate strategy, the long-term is not suitable for rapid expansion, and it is still necessary to do a good job in a down-to-earth manner. ”
"You know, Brother Ji, that's a lot of money, our Changcheng is now just a local car company in Bac Ha Province!"
"Huaguo's automobile industry is relatively weak in technology research and development, and lacks the core technology of independent innovation, especially in key areas such as engines and gearboxes, and there is still a big gap with the international advanced level. This has put Huaguo automobile companies in a disadvantageous position in the international market competition for a long time. ”
"This may be a joke for other large foreign-funded enterprises, but for us in China, it is a disaster."
[Chapter 30]
"I can't help it!"
As he spoke, Lao Wei sighed helplessly.
Ji Boli looked around for a while, and after a long time, he said slowly, "Now that the financial crisis is now, it is not easy to find a suitable investment partner!" Most of the 4S stores of long-range automobiles are in the red... ”
"Old Ji, what do you want to say? Please make it clearer. Old Wei on the side frowned and replied.
As he spoke, he took out a box of Golden Leaf Tianye from his pocket and handed one to Ji Boli.
Ji Boli hadn't seen anyone else for a long time, and when he came over today, he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"Gao Huaijun of Hillhouse Technology is engaged in automobile research and development, you know!" Ji Boli took a cigarette, looked at Lao Wei, and said slowly.
During this time, Hillhouse Technology wants to engage in B-class cars, which can be said to have shaken the entire automobile circle, how can he not know Lao Wei!
Wang Fengying, the current leader of Lingxiao Technology, is Lao Wei's old assistant.
In addition, the turmoil that caused a stir at the Magic Capital Auto Show.
This is definitely a new hatred and an old hatred, which makes him angry!
"I'm very interested in their Hillhouse Technology's R&D plate, as far as I know, now Hillhouse has a high asset-liability ratio due to the new car track, and now their B-class car is still in the process of research and development, unable to take care of the entire capital chain plate, if Lao Wei you help me do one thing, I can lend you a sum of money, 50 million funds, the annual interest is only 5%! 50 million, in this world, where is it so easy to borrow! If you can't pay it back by then, you can just turn it in," Ji Boli said lightly.
"Oh? Only 5%? I don't understand what you want!? Lao Wei raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ji Boli in surprise.
50 million!
That's not 500,000!
Banks borrowing such a large amount of money require very complicated borrowing procedures.
During this time, he was worried about this matter!
"The Russian poet Negrasov once said, we don't understand, then how can we! The world is by no means limited to a group of people like us! ”
"Old Wei, there is no so-called innocence in this world itself, can you admit that you have never lied? This is self-deception! ”
"There may not be a return for paying, or even a loss, but there must be a payout for the return!"
"To expand, enterprises need capital investment, and more importantly, they can trust partners and friends to help a little favor! Dude! ”
Saying that, Ji Boli whispered in Lao Wei's ear...
。。。。。。
Leader Lu looked at this young man who was as old as his children and grandchildren, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
This young man is qualified to stand with him on an equal footing!
Seeing that Gao Huaijun came back to his senses from his immersion world, Leader Lu no longer hesitated, he patted Gao Huaijun's shoulder, lowered his voice, and said directly, "It seems that Mr. Gao likes the scenery of the Xicheng compound very much!" ”
Gao Huaijun was taken aback by him.
He suddenly turned his head and glanced vigilantly at the middle-aged man with a smile in front of him, until his eyes swept to Shang Yayan, who was standing quietly on the side, and then relaxed slightly.
Today, I was specially invited by Leader Lu to come to Xicheng Government for a meeting.
Two people, face to face, talk once.
"I'm Lu Zhengwen!" Leader Lu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Gao Huaijun nodded.
In fact, this meeting, not only the Xicheng local area called, but even the upper province also called.
Although Sujiang Province is a large bulk province, its own provincial capital is still Huijing, but it will still be unanimous with the outside world to deal with the demon capital.
The relationship between provinces is actually very delicate.
It is a coopetition relationship.
At this moment, the red sun is rising, and the sun's rays shine on every corner of the courtyard, dyeing the entire Xicheng compound orange-red. The plants, buildings, paths, and decorations in the compound all shine brightly in the warm sunlight.
The two first exchanged a few words, and then, after all the idle people left, Leader Lu asked bluntly, "I heard that you Hillhouse Technology want to really enter the automotive field in a big way, I want to ask, why?" ”
"Before you, engage in mobile phones, do a good job, only need to continue to expand the product line related to electronic technology in electronic technology, I think Hillhouse Technology is very promising to go to the end, you have solved the problem of Hillhouse Technology's product strength, and the Mate mobile phone sold is also a high-end product in the market."
"And now, you don't need to venture into car production!"
"Obviously, you're a very ambitious guy!"
"You have now solved all the technical difficulties one by one, and built Hillhouse Group into an impregnable fortress!"
"I'm looking for you today just to ask, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Do you want to be a well-known person in the Yangtze River Delta region, or become the richest man in China, the richest man in the country, or what?"
"Only then can we be sure of what kind of help we can give you!"
At this time, Leader Lu's expression was serious and his eyes were sharp, and he stared at Gao Huaijun, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts directly through the window of his soul!
This sense of oppression is too strong!
It's not a loss to be the leader of this key city in Xicheng!
But Gao Huaijun shrugged his shoulders, leaned back, and asked, "Leader Lu, if I say that my ambition is even greater than this, what would you think?" ”
Leader Lu thought for a moment and replied, "If it were other ordinary young people, including my son, I would persuade him to be down-to-earth; But for you, I want to hear what you really think, what is your ambition? ”
"Your current Hillhouse company is already qualified to obtain the investment resources of Xicheng, but we want to hear your opinion!"
Gao Huaijun nodded, he organized his language slightly, and replied, "Actually, it's very simple!" Now, I just want to build a B-segment car that can gain a foothold in China! This car is not just a car that stands on its feet, I hope it will completely change the pattern of Huaguo's industrial career! ”
After Gao Huaijun finished speaking, he spread out his hands!
Like many gifted businessmen, he knew that free competition was wasteful and monopoly was efficient. Therefore, his goal is to pursue this effective monopoly.
And what is an effective monopoly?
Create a new way of using energy, and then let the backing country, support him!
[Chapter 31]
Energy is the core underlying rule on which a country and even a society depends!
Leader Lu looked at the young man in front of him with a shocked expression.
This kid is not even 30 years old this year!
This is no longer ambitious to describe!
Thanks to growing up in the era of peace.
This guy, in the Qing Dynasty, may come up with a set of things to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!
After stopping half a salary, Leader Lu asked, "Since 1950, at this stage, Huaguo's automobile industry has started from scratch and initially formed a truck-based automobile industry layout. ”
"And in 2009, 60 years have passed, although Huaguo has become one of the world's largest automobile markets, but in the two fields of A-class cars and B-class cars, Huaguo is still in a very disadvantaged state, which is a problem of the national industrial system of a country, not only the ability of an enterprise to turn the tide!"
Gao Huaijun nodded, and from the briefcase prepared next to him, he took out a delicate model of 'Han'.
This kind of model is generally only used by car companies, and they will make the design drawings into small samples of this plastic, so as to give people an intuitive feeling.
You can see the cool curves of the exterior from the model.
At the same time, you can even see the interior inside through the model.
The full LCD instrument cluster, double-spoke flat-bottomed multi-function steering wheel, the front fascia of the co-pilot with integrated dragon scale atmosphere lights, the air conditioning vents on both sides and the audio speakers are also located on this line, but it is different from the traditional one-line arrangement, and instead adopts a relatively "staggered" position arrangement, so that they are in the shape of a "product" layout in the spatial structure, combined with the "LX-HEART" with vehicle start/stop, mode switching, a variety of central control functions and gears, which not only provides a rich visual level, but also provides a rich visual level. It also creates a technological atmosphere that drives into the future.
Cool!
Amazing!
Science fiction!
Shock!
Even the model is made like a futuristic car!
Even if Leader Lu has doubts, he has been silent for a long time when he sees such a micro model!
Gao Huaijun nodded and replied, "To be honest, I'm already wealthy. ”
"My wealth, needless to say, needless to say, spend ten lifetimes, it will be easy."
"In the market, there are a lot of technology companies, investment companies, that want to buy my shares."
"Not to mention anything else, with this money, I will live very comfortably!"
"But, I know a little. As a Chinese person, the highest ideal is what is depicted in the four sentences of Hengqu: establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations! ”
"Other people can't do it well, but someone always has to do it."
"What's more, we've already taken a big step forward!"
"Even if it fails, it's nothing!"
"I still remember what Tan Sitong said: The changes in all countries are made from bloodshed, and there are no bloodshed victims in this country, and the reason why this country is not prosperous. Yes, please start from the same time! ”
"In the same way, if this research and development fails, start with me Gao Huaijun, I don't regret it!"
Hearing this answer, Leader Lu suddenly fell silent.
Yes, it's hard to build a car that is popular in the market!
It's much harder than building a mobile phone!
Because the automobile industry is a "big industry".
The industrial chain is long enough to create several times or even dozens of times the employment of an automobile factory.
Although the profits of automakers are limited, the profits in the process of producing plastics, steel, glass and rubber from raw materials into finished vehicles are cumulative.
How to judge the importance of the automobile industry should actually be considered from the essence of the economy.
It's not even just a simple extension of the industrial chain and employment. From spare parts to the whole vehicle may not be profitable, but from stone sand oil to the whole vehicle, how many times do you say the value has increased?
To a certain extent, the competition in the automobile industry is not only the competition of enterprises, but also the competition of countries!
The Ashkenazi three are for Germany.
The three great powers of the Japanese system are in the country of the sun.
Isn't that the truth?
If the automobile industry is finished in these two countries.
Other barbers, girls standing on the street, have an income of more than 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, may they still have it?
Impossible!
He let out a long sigh of relief at the thought of this.
The years urge people to grow old, and the glory is exhausted in an instant.
Think about it thirty years ago, he was also a young man with four haves!
So, he said slowly, "I see. ”
"From today onwards, Xicheng will do its best to provide the greatest convenience to Hillhouse Group!"
"Believe me, the sincerity of our Tin City is not something that half-hearted demons can give!"
"Before that, though, I'm a little curious."
"Your Lingxiao company, is it just a B-class car? Will there be any surprises in the future? ”
Gao Huaijun smiled and did not answer directly, "Leader Lu, do you believe that one day, our car will be on the road, and it will be able to walk without us driving it manually?" ”
For some reason, five big words popped up in Gao Huaijun's mind - 'Nantianmen Plan'!
Leader Lu's eyes widened suddenly, but before he could answer, Gao Huaijun continued, "Actually, this B-class car is just the beginning, and even my Hillhouse Technology and Lingxiao Technology are just the beginning. ”
"As I said earlier, my ambitions go far beyond that! My purpose is to leave my name in the thin history books! ”
"Our Chinese cars, one day, will occupy the land of China, our mobile phones, can control the walking of our cars, the era of the Internet of Everything, will be opened by our Chinese people!"
"However, this is far from the final ending!"
"So, if you want to ask me what my future goals are, it's not hard to answer!"
"My goal, of course, is the sea of stars!!"
