After analyzing and judging the relevant situation, Guan Yuntian decided to first visit the Tiancheng Automobile Company, which was implementing the electric vehicle project.

Over the years, the management of Changda Group has developed a habit that once a decision is made, it will be implemented immediately, and will never sit back and talk on paper. After discussing with the two subordinates, Guan Yuntian decided to set off as soon as possible.

The office of the group company booked air tickets for the three CEOs at 9 a.m. on the third day. At one o'clock in the afternoon, their flight landed at the airport in the city where Tiancheng Automobile Company is located. After taking a taxi from the airport to the booked hotel, washing up, and having lunch, Guan Yuntian asked Shen Yuehong to contact Tiancheng Company and told the other party to visit the next morning.

Shen Yuehong is also the first time to the city where Tiancheng Automobile Company is located, she is not familiar with here, the next morning, she wanted to ask the company to send a car to pick them up, Guan Yuntian did not agree with her approach, "Don't trouble people, we take the initiative to disturb, the other party can receive us is good." Such a big Tiancheng automobile company, take a taxi, the taxi driver will naturally send us there, don't pay attention to it when you go out. ”

I asked for a taxi through the hotel, the three of them got into the car, the driver drove around the city, it took nearly an hour to get out of the city, and after driving for about 20 minutes, the taxi stopped in front of a wide automatic retractable door, "Three guests, Tiancheng Automobile Company has arrived." ”

After paying to get out of the car, but seeing a boulder next to the telescopic door with "Tiancheng Automobile Co., Ltd." written in sleek characters, Guan Yuntian and the other three were about to walk towards the communication room, and a uniformed security guard came out of the small door next to him, "Who are you looking for?"

Shen Yuehong took a step forward and replied, "We are from other places and want to visit Mr. Zhou." ”

"Visit Mr. Zhou, do you have an appointment?"

"I had an appointment, I spoke to him on the phone yesterday afternoon and he asked us to come over today. ”

"Oh, please register here. The security guard pointed to a small square table behind him, which contained a register book and a carbon pen.

After Guan Yuntian stepped forward to register, the security guard let them in through the small door, and pointed to a five-story building 100 meters away, and introduced the path after entering the building and the floor and direction of Mr. Zhou's office.

According to the instructions of the security guard, Guan Yuntian and his entourage quickly found Mr. Zhou's office, and when they arrived at the door, Shen Yuehong knocked on the door a few times, and the sound of "please come in" came from inside, and they pushed the door in.

Shen Yuehong took a step forward, "Hello Mr. Zhou!"

Lao Zhou was stunned for a moment, "You guys...... "Oh, Mr. Shen, how did you get here?" he hurriedly stood up, "I'm still waiting for your call." ”

"What are you waiting for the call?" Shen Yuehong took the initiative to reach out and shake Lao Zhou.

"I'll send a car to pick you up!"

"Hey, if you take the liberty to come and disturb, you can't help it, so why don't you be embarrassed to let your car pick up and send you away!" Shen Yuehong spoke bluntly and quickly.

"You guys are so polite! The car is picked up and delivered, and it is convenient to provide a convenience, do you still call it a problem? Okay, don't just talk to us, you can quickly introduce the two leaders. ”

Shen Yuehong smiled, "If you want to ask, I have to answer." Well, let me introduce you, this handsome and dashing gentleman is Mr. Guan, chairman of our Changda Group, and this beautiful lady is Mr. Ye, general manager of Changda Group. She turned to the side slightly, "Mr. Guan Ye, I think you also know that this wise and kind gentleman with a scholarly demeanor is Mr. Zhou, chairman of Tiancheng Automobile Company." ”

Shen Yuehong's slightly ridiculous introduction amused everyone, and Lao Zhou stepped forward to shake hands with Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi one by one, "Welcome Mr. Guan! Welcome Mr. Ye! Please take a seat."

”

Next to a large coffee table, Guan Yuntian sat on the two-seater sofa in the front, Ye Jiayi and Shen Yuehong sat on the single sofa at both ends, Lao Zhou sat down on the chair opposite Guan Yuntian, and the office staff made tea and brought it to the guests.

After greeting for a while, the guest and the host gave a brief introduction to each other's enterprises, because they are both private enterprises, and the two sides seem to have more common language, "Mr. Guan, with the strength of Changda Group, why don't you make complete vehicles, but choose to make auto parts?"

"To do business selection projects, sometimes it depends on fate, not that we do it on purpose, but since the beginning of the business, Changda Group has been engaged in the traditional industries of cord cloth, tires and oil refining and petrochemicals, to the current auto parts and high-energy batteries, are revolving around the car, in addition to real estate development, Changda Group's main business, on auto parts, it is strange to say, so many years we just did not think about vehicle manufacturing. When it comes to this question, Guan Yuntian also finds it very interesting.

"To be honest, you didn't get involved in the vehicle manufacturing industry, which is probably a wise move. In fact, on profits, the vehicle industry is not as high as spare parts, and the risk is greater, a model launched, if not favored by the market, a large amount of investment will be wasted. After the launch of a model, before getting market feedback, it was almost difficult for me to sleep peacefully, everyone has the experience of the college entrance examination, which feels much more difficult than waiting for the results after the college entrance examination, whether the test results are good or not, I basically have a number, and the new product is not so simple in the face of customer pickiness!"

"It's not easy to do business, we do auto parts and real estate development, but also face a lot of difficulties, the company is in the process of constantly overcoming difficulties to move forward. The upgrading of products or industries, as well as the introduction of new products, these things are always testing our judgment and endurance. "Guan Yuntian said.

In our industry, just say that this new energy vehicle, you don't pay attention to it, but it is the future direction of development, who knows how many years later, suddenly a policy down, overnight to cut the output of traditional fuel vehicles, when the time to get caught off guard, enterprises into passivity in minutes. Paying attention to it, not only does it require spending money on investment, but it also requires a lot of money to burn, but it does not pay off for a foreseeable period of time, and the project faces a situation of constant loss, which can sometimes be particularly frustrating. Lao Zhou said in a low mood.

"Yes, you have to have a big heart to do business. Uh, Mr. Zhou, may I ask how far your Tiancheng Automobile Company's electric vehicle project has progressed now?" After talking for a while, Guan Yuntian felt that the topic should be put on the right track.

"Electric vehicle project? Mr. Shen roughly told me on the phone, you are here this time, just for this matter, right?"

Guan Yuntian nodded, "On the one hand, I want to meet new friends, and on the other hand, I am really interested in your electric vehicle project." ”

"As far as I know, the electric vehicle project has completed its design and is currently undergoing certain trials. ”

Ye Jiayi interjected: "Mr. Zhou, how far is your electric vehicle project from the vehicle test?"

"Well...... , I really don't know, or else, I called the vice president in charge of technology and the person in charge of the electric vehicle project, and we went to the reception room for further negotiations. ”

"That's great!"

Lao Zhou got up and walked to the desk, made two phone calls, he asked the other party to go to the reception room for a meeting immediately, and then turned to the guests and said, "Let's go to the reception room." ”

On the same floor, out of Lao Zhou's office, go to the left thirty or forty meters to the door of the reception room, Lao Zhou in front of the head, he pushed the door in, turned on the light, first arranged three guests to sit in a row of single sofas in the middle, and instructed the staff to prepare tea and some water

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

Then, he sat down on the sofa opposite Guan Yuntian, and after a while, two men in their forties and fifties came in one after the other.

"You two sit down first, and I'll introduce you. The gentleman opposite me is Mr. Guan, chairman of Changda Group, and the two ladies are Mr. Ye, general manager of Changda Group, and Mr. Shen, sales director. The three CEOs, the one next to me, are Mr. Qiu, who is in charge of technology of our Tiancheng Automobile Company, and the one next to me is the project leader of electric vehicles and our chief engineer, Mr. Wen. Lao Zhou introduced them one by one.

The three guests stood up and shook hands with the two technical directors one by one.

After sitting down again, Ye Jiayi first asked: "Mr. Qiu, Mr. Wen, we want to know the progress of our Tiancheng Automobile Company's electric vehicle project, how far has this project progressed now?

Lao Qiu looked at Mr. Wen next to him, "You know the situation better than me in this regard, so let's talk about it." ”

Lao Wen straightened up, "Our electric vehicle project only completed the design half a year ago, some tests were carried out some time ago, the vehicle architecture is being assembled and laid out, and the prototype will be able to come out about next month." As for the vehicle test, I'm afraid it will be a month later. ”

"May I ask the three CEOs, before the vehicle test, has the power supporting system of your electric vehicle been determined?" Ye Jiayi said.

Private enterprises and state-owned enterprises are different, in Tiancheng Automobile Company, Chairman Lao Zhou and Chengsheng Automobile Company leader Lao Xu is different, it seems that he doesn't care about such a thing, the battery supporting the electric vehicle project, Lao Zhou doesn't seem to care at all, or Lao Wen replied: "The power unit supporting the electric vehicle, now has not been put on the agenda, but it has been contacted with two or three battery manufacturers before, and their products will be used when the time comes." ”

"Mr. Wang, what method do you plan to use to finally determine which battery will be matched for you? Do you want to test the performance of the battery in the vehicle test?"

"Of course, it is necessary to use bidding to determine the battery supplier. Should the battery still be measured?...... , To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet, Mr. Qiu, do you think it's still necessary to measure it?" Lao Wang turned his head to look at Lao Qiu next to him.

I have to say that in terms of the rigor of doing things, the Tiancheng Automobile Company in front of it is still a little worse than Chengsheng Automobile Company, as a battery for the power system, it plays a pivotal role in the entire electric vehicle, Lao Wang, as the project leader, does not pay attention to such an important supporting device, and even thinks that the vital battery performance measurement is dispensable, which makes Ye Jiayi feel incredible.

As the deputy general manager in charge of technology of the whole company, Lao Qiu's main energy is in the production department, and he basically has no time to take care of the development of new products. ”

The question returned to Lao Wang, "Mr. Ye, we are not very good at batteries, you are a battery manufacturer, from your point of view, do you think it is necessary to test batteries in the car?"

Since the other party took the initiative to solicit opinions, Ye Jiayi told the truth, "The battery is the power device of the electric vehicle, so to speak, the quality of an electric vehicle depends largely on the performance of the battery. ”

"Well, I agree with Mr. Ye's suggestion, how do you know which product has good performance and which one is not good without testing? Suppliers will sell themselves and boast, who will not blow the performance of their products to the sky? Whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out for a walk. Although Lao Zhou is not directly involved in the electric vehicle project, he is the chairman of the board and has the right to express his opinion.
