"How is the research and development progress at Tianhuo Technology?"
Lu Beifeng asked about the threat of BMW's new energy minicars to Bailong Motors.
They can only do this at present. Whatever the future trend will be, they will do their best and obey fate.
After all, that's not the ambition.
No one in the outside world would have thought that these mini cars from Bailong Motors were just their tests.
In Lu Beifeng's mind, this was just a tool to make money in the financial market.
The only thing he really values is Tianhuo Technology, whether it is fast charging technology, or battery management system, or Honda's three-cylinder engine, all core technologies are paving the way for it and laying a solid foundation.
Comparing the two, their importance is quite different.
"The technology of the three-cylinder engine has been analyzed by our scientific researchers. The basic principles of the technology can be completely manufactured. The power and various index data are not inferior to Honda's original three-cylinder engine."
Chen Shaojie said, unable to help but sigh in his heart.
This energy-saving and stable three-cylinder engine definitely contributes to Honda's ability to seize the domestic mid- to low-end market.
Compared with the BMW three-cylinder they considered before, it is not even a bit better.
“Can we improve on this basis?”
Lu Beifeng asked. He knew nothing about engine principles, but he understood the buyer's psychology.
Tianhuo Technology’s first new energy vehicle, whether pure electric or hybrid, will take a high-end route.
The price should be around 500,000 yuan. If it is equipped with Honda's three-cylinder engine, the friends who buy it will probably be laughed to death by their car-savvy friends.
After all, I was considering BMW's three-cylinder engine before, but now I have switched to Honda's, which is better and more stable.
But car buyers won't buy it.
BMW's three-cylinder is unstable, but because it's from BMW, it's good!
Honda's three-cylinder is stable and energy-saving, but because it's Honda, it's not good!
This is the chain reaction brought about by the brand effect.
The technology is good, the performance is strong, and it also needs face.
Since you are taking the high-end route, you must take these aspects into consideration.
"I'll try my best."
Chen Shaojie smiled bitterly. He did not explain to Lu Beifeng the difference between a three-cylinder engine and a four-cylinder engine. However, if he wanted to overcome it, the technical difficulties involved would be unimaginable.
The reason why it is said to be difficult is not to say impossible, because it does not mean that it is impossible to do.
With the issuance of new energy policies in September, major domestic car companies are gearing up to enter the market.
Mercedes-Benz announced its decision to completely stop the production of fuel vehicles by 2022.
BMW announced its decision to completely stop producing fuel vehicles by 2025.
Most car companies have put aside their harsh words and actively responded to China's environmental protection policies, as if the heyday of fuel vehicles is over, and they will be gone sooner or later.
Domestic and foreign car companies are undoubtedly very sincere and have expressed their opinions on it, but I am afraid only they themselves know how to implement it.
However, since the New Energy Policy, many domestic car companies’ technical departments that develop fuel engines have stopped working.
Under the pressure of investors, they either shut down and couldn't afford wages or raw materials, or they directly switched to new energy.
This mighty internal combustion engine competition that has been going on for hundreds of years will finally come to an end.
At this time, if they lend a helping hand, it will be a timely help.
Very easy to pull up, a top R&D team for internal combustion engines that was unattainable in the past.
It’s not too difficult to convert Honda’s three-cylinder technology into a four-cylinder one.
The research and development capabilities of Huaxia's copycats surpass those of genuine products, which has always been obvious to all.
Lu Beifeng hummed and did not ask.
I believe Chen Shaojie understands his character. As long as things can be successful, he doesn't care how much investment he puts in.
Continue to give instructions: "Promote Tianhuo Technology 1.0's in-vehicle system to the outside world for free and install it independently."
"But privately, for car companies that are interested in cooperation, the on-board system is activated every time a new energy vehicle is installed, regardless of whether it is used or not."
"A cash reward of 1,000 yuan will be 2,000 yuan for more than 100 units, 3,000 yuan for more than 1,000 units, and so on. However, the review must be strict to prevent malicious people from taking advantage of loopholes."
Big car companies will not be short-sighted because they know Lu Beifeng is building a platform, and even if they cannot build it themselves, they will not let him succeed.
But it is difficult to say for small car companies. It is better than nothing after all. Building a platform from scratch is a protracted battle.
All walks of life have customer acquisition costs. The automobile industry itself is a valuable commodity, so the cost of customer acquisition is naturally high.
However, as long as it can reach a certain scale and generate a snowball effect, all the initial investment will be worthwhile.
Chen Shaojie nodded, knowing that Lu Beifeng planned to launch Tianhuo Technology and pave the way for the next new energy vehicle.
On the other side of the video, Lu Beifeng didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed out loud.
He coughed a few times and said seriously: "When the news about Tianhuo Technology's in-vehicle system is released, let Bailong Automobile's legal department sue Tianhuo Technology for violating the exclusive technology licensing contract..."
"The bigger the fuss over this matter, the better. It's best for everyone to know about it."
After hearing Lu Beifeng's plan, Chen Shaojie couldn't help but be speechless.
He really wants to ride on his own popularity and take the opportunity to build the reputation of Tianhuo Technology in one fell swoop.
For a company that develops in-vehicle systems, it seems so logical to enter the new energy vehicle industry.
In the end, Boss Lu descended from the gods and forcefully ‘acquired’ Tianhuo Technology.
Its subsidiaries Bailong Automobile and Dixing Investment entered the market again to provide blood transfusions.
Tianhuo Technology can step on the shoulders of these two companies and ascend to the altar in one fell swoop.
People in the industry may know that he is directing and acting on his own, but the public doesn't know that.
Both companies are registered in Tianhu, and Tianhu officials will definitely help him complete this self-written and self-directed story.
As long as public opinion is controlled well, no one will know that these two companies were once separated from one company.
Chen Shaojie was astonished and couldn't help but exclaim: "You are such a horse bug."
I'm afraid only Boss Lu can play the left-right fight in such a fancy way.
This operation is really cool.
Lu Beifeng showed displeasure: "Are you brave enough to talk to your boss like this?"
"Dear boss, are you okay?"
"It's okay, just kneel down."
"Kneel down to your uncle and do my respects."
"Bye."
After ending the call with Chen Shaojie, Lu Beifeng called Ma Hongbo.
He inquired about the company's progress on the 20,000 charging piles, and told them not to forget to continue building new ones while improving them.
Don’t be stingy with capital investment at this time, take advantage of this opportunity and seize the largest piece of the market.
In the future new energy industry, the ratio of cars to charging piles will be five to one, or even three to one.
New energy vehicles are important, but charging piles are equally important.
It is an indispensable piece of the puzzle in the entire business landscape.
At the same time, the target was directly set. Before the end of this year, it is hoped that the number of charging piles owned by Fantasy Technology will reach more than 30,000.
"Yes, I will try my best to complete it."
Ma Hongbo bit the bullet and agreed.
There are still thirty days until the end of this year.
The company has 21,000 charging piles, but the technology has only improved by less than 5,000.
There are still 16,000 improvements to be made, and 9,000 new charging piles need to be added at the same time, so I suddenly feel a lot of pressure.
"It's a must!"
Lu Beifeng said coldly,
Unlike Chen Shaojie, there is still a small friendship between the two of them.
Chen Shaojie himself also values this relationship very much and will not let official affairs affect their personal relationship.
Every time Lu Beifeng assigned a task, he would try his best to do it 120% and do everything beautifully.
But when it comes to Ma Hongbo and Lu Beifeng, it is completely a dialogue between superiors and subordinates.
With an annual salary of tens of millions and a capital injection of five billion, the other party will also enjoy 5% of the dry shares for five years, which is equivalent to giving away two hundred and fifty million for free.
As the company's market value gradually increases in the future, the shares will inevitably be diluted and more will be earned.
Lu Beifeng did not restrict the company's use of funds, if Ma Hongbo could not even achieve this goal.
Then he wouldn't mind changing to someone else.
Under this kind of treatment, if Ma Hongbo couldn't do it, there would be a lot of people rushing to do it.
Ma Hongbo was sweating like rain, patting his chest and promising: "We will complete the task."
For a moment, it seemed like I was back in the early days of Meituan, where I faced that invisible and huge pressure every day.
But there is one difference: Lu Beifeng is richer and richer than Wang Xin.
