From the last contact with the management of Tiancheng Automobile Company, Ye Jiayi had a general judgment on their management structure, although Chairman Lao Zhou delegated some powers, but he still had to make decisions on major matters.

Now that Tiancheng Automobile's electric vehicle project has completed various tests, the next step is to build an electric vehicle production line, or wait and see for a while? The chairman does not speak, and the deputies cannot ask at all.

Ye Jiayi understands the mood of the chief engineer Lao Wang, as a technical consultant, why bother with that heart if he has not been authorized by the chairman?

Since she couldn't get any information from Lao Wang, Ye Jiayi had no choice but to dial Lao Zhou's phone, "Hello Mr. Zhou! I'm Ye Jiayi of Changda Group." ”

"Ye Jiayi, oh, Mr. Ye, hello!"

"Mr. Zhou, I took the liberty to call you, didn't bother you, right?"

"Why is Mr. Ye so polite? A phone call, what is there to disturb or not, what is the matter with you?" Lao Zhou looked very enthusiastic.

"I want to ask, have you finished the performance measurement of the battery?"

"It's done, are you inquiring about the actual test results? Didn't Mr. Wang tell you?" "Hehe, such a thing, the two bosses also kicked the ball!"

Ye Jiayi shook her head and smiled bitterly, "No, he said that after completing the test, he will give you the results." ”

"Oh, it turns out to be with me, I'll fax it to you right away. ”

Ye Jiayi already knew the general situation from Lao Wang, and she didn't care much about the measured results, "Mr. Zhou, I want to inquire, what are you going to do next for the electric vehicle project of Tiancheng Automobile Company?"

"I'm thinking about what to do next----, Mr. Ye, you just called, or I still want to ask you for advice, you have been dealing with Chengsheng Automobile Company for a long time, and Changda brand battery has become the only power supporting device for their electric vehicle project, with your understanding of this industry, what do you think about the future of the electric vehicle project?"

"Ouch, Zhou is always an expert in the automotive industry, in front of you, I'm just a primary school student, how dare I get an axe!"

"To talk about fuel vehicles, I have a more thorough understanding of the industry, when it comes to new energy vehicles, this industry makes me look at the flowers, after all, you do batteries, and the electric vehicle industry contact is earlier than me, should be farther than me. ”

"Mr. Zhou, didn't Tiancheng Automobile Company conduct sufficient research before deciding to do an electric vehicle project?" Ye Jiayi said.

"Of course, I have done research, but since the concept of new energy vehicles, it has been hyped, sometimes blown by experts and the media, coupled with the policies of government departments, it is easy to get lost. However, after a period of excitement, some industry experts poured cold water, and they were not so optimistic about the prospects of this industry, which was really confusing for a while. Lao Zhou said frankly.

Although Ye Jiayi is not an expert in the industry, since she has been in contact with the high-energy battery project, she has dealt with relevant experts, and naturally heard the opinions of many experts on the new energy vehicle industry.

Indeed, as Mr. Zhou said, this industry is a bit unclear at this stage, but there is still a general judgment. Ye Jiayi said.

"Mr. Ye has been dealing with the electric vehicle industry for some time, I think you must have your own opinions, if you don't mind, I want to hear your opinions. ”

"I can't talk about opinions, just talk casually, and the right to throw bricks and lead the way. I don't think electric vehicles will be able to grow rapidly in the short term, but the industry has good prospects in the medium to long term. ”

"Since the short-term prospects are not good, why are so many car companies competing to develop their own electric vehicle projects? Government departments still need to introduce encouraging policies? You still spare no effort to develop high-capacity batteries?" Lao Zhou felt incomprehensible about a series of questions.

"In fact, these problems are not difficult to understand, forced by environmental pressure and the continuous reduction of oil resources, including electric vehicles, new energy vehicles, is the future development direction, if a car company wants to operate for a long time, it must develop its own new energy vehicles, and electric drive cars are the easiest to achieve models. Policy encouragement is better understood, in order to improve the environment, reduce pollution, we have to encourage the development of new energy vehicles, but in the short term can not see the benefits, car companies have no enthusiasm, only through policy support, in order to make car companies pay attention to this industry. As for our development of batteries, because this is a good business opportunity, why not seize it?" Ye Jiayi said.

"Now, Tiancheng Automobile Company has developed its own electric vehicle project, immediately build a production line, several billions of investment into it, the short-term market prospects are uncertain, the risk is too great! Mr. Ye, as far as you know, how did Chengsheng Automobile Company deal with this matter?"

Ye Jiayi understands Lao Zhou's difficulties, as a private car company, too risky things will indeed discourage them, but to stop, not only to waste the funds and manpower invested in the early stage of development, but also to the future of the enterprise irresponsible, "Mr. Zhou, if you want to diversify the risk, you can build the project in stages, build the first phase of the project, if the electric vehicle market is good, and then continue to build the second and third phases of the project, in this way, is the risk much smaller?" Ye Jiayi suggested.

It's really a bystander, a fan of the parties, Lao Zhou slapped the table, "Phased construction? Yes, a good idea! Further decisions can be made according to the market prospects of electric vehicles." ”

"The investment in the first phase of the project will not be very large, even if the market is uncertain, the loss to the enterprise is not large, and the construction of the entire project in phases is easy to explain to the outside world. You can use the products produced by the first phase of the project to carry out market layout and development, and once the market potential is discovered, you can immediately build the second phase of the project. Do you think this is very calm?"

"Mr. Ye, last time you came to Tiancheng Company, I didn't communicate with you alone, I didn't expect you to have such a high insight into the operation and management of the project! Your opinion is described in one word, what is it called? Oh, it's called Daigo empowerment! I am deeply inspired, and I should learn more from you in the future. ”

"Mr. Zhou is too modest, you are an entrepreneur, I just talk about it casually, which can be called an opinion! But Mr. Zhou, what are your plans next?" After talking for a long time, what Ye Jiayi wanted to know most was Lao Zhou's thoughts.

"Didn't you say it, build it in stages!"

"Don't listen to me, that's just my opinion, the point is what are you going to do?"

"According to your suggestion, the construction of electric vehicle production lines in phases, our planning goal is to produce 20,000 electric vehicles per year, then it will be built in two phases, 10,000 in each phase. "Talking about it now, Lao Zhou handed over the real bottom.

"Mr. Zhou, the actual test results of the battery have come out, just now you have determined the next goal of the electric vehicle project, I take the liberty of asking, for the power system of electric vehicles, which one are you going to choose to match you?" Ye Jiayi said.

"Which one? Do you still need to ask? Of course it's your Changda Group! Otherwise, I wouldn't have talked to you for so long. Choose Changda brand battery, the reason is that the performance of your products is really good, the main indicators are higher than the products of other manufacturers, but Mr. Ye, this price has not been mentioned, you will not see that I selected Changda brand battery, so take the opportunity to raise the price, right?

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"Mr. Zhou doesn't know much about Changda Group, we are not that kind of people, the price is absolutely fair, and we will never raise the price indiscriminately, and the price for Chengsheng Automobile Company will also give you the same price. Ye Jiayi said.

"It's not time to sign a supply contract yet, but I think the price should be lower than that of Chengsheng Automobile. ”

"Why is that? Didn't I say that the same product is the same price, otherwise we can't explain it to other users. ”

"Mr. Ye, I am from a technical background, and I still know a little about the application of new products, and how much energy did it take for Changda brand batteries to be tested in Chengsheng Automobile Company? Of course, your battery is in Chengsheng Automobile Company through the actual test, the performance has been verified, only to save energy and money in our actual measurement, but after all, it is saved. "This old Zhou is very fine!

"What you said is also true, but saving this amount of money and energy is not enough to become a condition for you to enjoy the price concession, right? Otherwise, the price issue will be left to the signing of the supply contract, what does Mr. Zhou think?" Ye Jiayi said.

"Well, thank you anyway for your advice on our electric car project. ”

"Mr. Zhou, I also want to ask, if Tiancheng Automobile's electric vehicle project is to be industrialized, when do you plan to start implementing it?"

"This ----, is estimated to be half a year later, after all, we have to do the design first. ”

......

With the electric vehicle project of Chengsheng and Tiancheng automobile companies as a guarantee, the large-scale industrial production of batteries can be officially implemented, according to Dr. Tong's plan, the construction of 90,000 sets of batteries in three phases, the investment amount and risk of the project will be reduced by more than half.

Ye Jiayi reported to Guan Yuntian on the market of the battery and the preparation of the first phase of the industrial production project, originally thought that the project with a large investment, now the implementation of phased construction, not only the investment is diversified, but also the risk is minimized, so Guan Yuntian is very pleased, "This investment is not much pressure on the financial situation of Changda Group, you let Dr. Tong and they do not have any worries." ”

"At this stage of the project, Tong Wei and his team are only busy in the future equipment commissioning and trial production process, and they should be very idle during the workshop construction and equipment installation. I have an idea, I don't know if it's appropriate?" Ye Jiayi hesitated.

"You've always spoken concisely and clearly, what's wrong today? ”

"When negotiating the supply contract with Chengsheng Automobile Company, he talked about the recycling of waste batteries, which is also one of the factors hindering the development of electric vehicles, I have also seen a similar situation analysis from the relevant information, I think this is indeed a problem, new energy vehicles replace fuel vehicles, one of the main purposes is to eliminate pollution and protect the environment, if the waste batteries of electric vehicles are not effectively treated, they will still cause pollution to the environment, and what is the point of such a substitution?" Ye Jiayi said.

Guan Yuntian nodded, "......What do you mean?"

"The recycling of used batteries may not seem so lofty, but there are huge business opportunities in it, and I think it's even more worthwhile than developing and producing batteries. ”

"Oh, is this industry so important? Are there any companies doing it at the moment?" Guan Yuntian was a little skeptical.

"With the advent of electric vehicles, there will be more and more companies producing batteries, but the recycling and harmless treatment of waste batteries have a high technical threshold, and not many people can see it, and it is still in a blank state. ”
