This time, the technician who led the team of Cangqiong Automobile to Nanhai Province was Zeng Guoxiang.
Zeng Guoxiang is an engineer recruited and trained entirely by Cangqiong Automobile University.
Such engineers are young, technically capable, and full of motivation.
Zeng Guoxiang studied fuel vehicle technology in college and graduate school, and worked at Volkswagen during his graduate internship.
Volkswagen offered Zeng Guoxiang an annual salary of 600,000 yuan, hoping that Zeng Guoxiang could stay.
In 2016, postgraduate graduates could get an annual salary of 600,000, which is already quite good.
But for his own dream, Zeng Guoxiang gave up his high-paying job at Volkswagen and resolutely went to Cangqiong Automobile, a subsidiary of Changtian Technology.
After working at Cangqiong Automobile, Zeng Guoxiang learned the knowledge of new energy electric vehicles in detail and quickly became an excellent engineer.
This time they arrived in Nanhai Province to improve 60,000 Haima S5 cars. This was Zeng Guoxiang’s first time leading a team.
Even though Zeng Guoxiang is only a middle-level cadre of Cangqiong Automobile, in the eyes of Jingmu and other Haima Automobile teams, Zeng Guoxiang is the imperial minister who saved Haima Automobile.
Jing Mu took his team to the airport to greet Zeng Guoxiang in person.
Originally, we were going to prepare a sumptuous luncheon for Zeng Guoxiang's 20 people, but Zeng Guoxiang refused.
After all, there is more than 1 billion in transactions involved here. The team came to Nanhai Province to improve and sell the stock cars as quickly as possible, not to eat and drink.
So Zeng Guoxiang and his team chose to eat in the staff restaurant and go directly to see the cars in stock after finishing the meal.
In the audit report, the inventory of 60,000 vehicles is just a figure.
But when Zeng Guoxiang saw the densely packed Haima S5 cars parked in the parking lot, the shock in his heart was still very shocking.
Jingmu also introduced it lightly: "We have dozens of parking lots like this."
This is the most troublesome part of stocking cars.
This is why Shen Wei insists on calculating these inventory cars as liabilities instead of assets.
Because the car is parked in the open air, and the weather in Nanhai Province is hot and humid, the sea breeze is corrosive.
Therefore, if these cars cannot be sold, they will become scrap metal after being kept for a long time.
At that time, when you sold your items for scrap, the scrap collectors thought your items were too rusty and worthless.
Why not park the car in the garage?
In fact, there is no need for Zeng Guoxiang to ask this question.
Haima Company's operating conditions are already very difficult.
You have to pay money to rent or buy a warehouse, and its price is much higher than that of an open-air parking lot.
If the sales volume of Haima S5 cars is considerable, the sales will be faster.
Then there is no problem if the car is parked here for a month or two.
But if it cannot be sold and a large amount of inventory is piled up here, it will become a vicious cycle.
If the car remains in stock for a long time, the body and performance of the car will have problems, and consumers will be even less willing to buy it.
Consumers are unwilling to buy cars in stock, and factories are producing again, an endless cycle, an infinite vicious cycle!
Zeng Guoxiang sighed deeply, and the headquarters gave him an absolute problem.
At this time, we need to find some factories or warehouses to drive the car in, and we will definitely not have enough time.
Therefore, the best way is to improve these stock cars as soon as possible and sell them as soon as possible.
Without saying a word, Zeng Guoxiang immediately asked technicians to find a car and dismantle it.
Sure enough, the engine oil had precipitated, causing some damage to the engine, and some parts such as the car chassis were also rusted.
But these are minor issues.
The biggest problem is adding bio-batteries and matching energy output to these cars.
That is to say, it is not only necessary to reinstall bio-batteries in these cars, but also to install small motors.
According to the task given to Zeng Guoxiang by Cangqiong Automobile, it needs to use extremely low-cost materials and technology to improve these stock cars.
The cars in stock are divided into two types, one is manual transmission and the other is automatic transmission.
This is of course a difference in transmission.
Whether it is a manual transmission or an automatic transmission, it will become a dual-energy mode in the future, which is now the so-called plug-in hybrid.
Cangqiong Automobile designed the manual transmission to use a bio-battery with a range of 60 kilometers, while the automatic transmission uses a bio-battery with a range of 80 kilometers.
The motor is also an ordinary motor with very small power.
The maximum driving speed can only reach 80 kilometers per hour.
It is designed this way for only two purposes.
One is of course to save costs.
The cost of an ultra-mini bio-battery plus an ultra-small motor will be very small. The total material cost may be less than 10,000 yuan, and the most important thing is the labor cost.
The second purpose is to make way for Haima Automobile to launch new energy vehicles in the true sense of 100,000 to 200,000 levels.
It is impossible to maximize the performance of these stock cars so that they can become competitors of future products.
This time Zeng Guoxiang only came to add new energy sources to the cars in stock and did nothing else.
There will be no changes to the car's interior or intelligence.
Of course, Zeng Guoxiang's team is also concerned about the safety of these stock cars.
For example, in a manual transmission car, only the driver and front passenger have airbags, but there are no airbags in the rear seats.
It doesn’t cost much to add a few sets of airbags, so there will be some changes in safety.
However, the workmanship of Haima's front and rear anti-collision steel plates is relatively solid, which makes Zeng Guoxiang feel more at ease.
In fact, Zeng Guoxiang had been thinking about a problem when he was learning about cars.
A car must first ensure the safety of passengers, and then talk about comfort or fuel economy.
But when many Chinese people buy a car, they seem to reverse the order of primary and secondary functions of the entire car.
For example, many people will first look at whether the appearance of a car is beautiful, whether it is fuel-efficient, whether the interior is good-looking, then whether it is comfortable, and finally whether it is safe. When many domestic users buy a car, they even
If you don't even look at the safety of a car, you'll assume that its safety is fine.
After Zeng Guoxiang informed Haima’s team of his modification plan.
Haima's team is very excited.
He expressed that he would definitely cooperate with the work of Zeng Guoxiang’s team.
At the same time, after the Cangqiong Automobile Headquarters completed the acquisition of 55% of the equity of Haima Company, the headquarters told Haima Company that it can immediately start promoting the new generation of improved S5 (the corresponding modification plan has been recognized by relevant national departments.
and obtained permission for marketing).
Anyway, the total number of units is only 60,000.
It can be sold while being modified and sold in various Haima 4S stores across the country.
Anyway, after these 60,000 cars are sold, the inventory will be eliminated.
The two parties agreed on the above matters and started construction immediately.
Since the technical level of Cangqiong Automobile's technical team is very high, it can also save costs greatly while ensuring efficiency.
The company headquarters originally estimated that it would cost about 40,000 yuan to improve a car, but the actual cost was only a little over 30,000 yuan.
The biggest cost is not adding a bio-battery or a small motor to the S6, but a device that connects electric kinetic energy and fuel kinetic energy in parallel and outputs them to the drive wheels at the same time.
Modification of this part of the circuit electrical appliances is the most cost-intensive.
The automotive engineers and technicians of the Haima team were filled with emotion when they saw such professional work by Zeng Guoxiang's team.
This level of professionalism is completely unmatched by the Haima Automobile team.
And you need to know that most of Haima's automotive team, especially some of the well-paid engineers, were left over from Mazda Motors.
Therefore, the engineering team and technical level of Changtian Technology Cangqiong Automobile are already far higher than the technical level of Dongyang's automobile industry-related engineers.
Jingmu couldn't help but sigh that with such an excellent team of engineers, Cangqiong Automobile will definitely become the world's largest automobile company in terms of market value and sales volume in the future.
When Zeng Guoxiang's team was improving the S5, Jingmu directly asked Haima Automobile engineers to help them learn at close range. Of course, the most important thing is to learn.
Jingmu felt very deeply in his heart. Haima Automobile was acquired by Cangqiong Automobile. It was definitely Haima Automobile's high achievement. And he believed that Haima Automobile would definitely get out of the quagmire and usher in a new life.
Soon the first batch of 10 vehicles in total were modified.
Because it is modified in the factory and will be sold as a new car, the car's manual and related certificate documents all have new changes.
Among the 10 vehicles modified this time, two are manual and 8 are automatic.
When Jingmu saw that Zeng Guoxiang's team actually changed all manual transmission cars to gasoline-electric hybrids, he had to admire the craftsmanship of Cangqiong Spirit.
The modification plan is a hybrid of oil and electricity.
To be precise, it's a plug-in hybrid.
That is to say, the fuel power system is a routine, and the electric power system is also a routine. Users can only choose 1 of the two when using it.
Manual transmission cars use manual transmissions.
The power system of bio-battery plus motor does not have a gearbox.
Therefore, users only need to press the brake or accelerator when switching to bioelectric power mode. There is no need to switch gearboxes, and the top speed can only reach 80 kilometers per hour.
Jingmu sat in the car and found that there was an extra switch button in the gear position.
This is the switching between bioenergy power and fuel power.
The layout of the entire partner is also very reasonable, and it cannot be seen that this is a system that has been improved later.
By default, the car first uses the bioelectric power system after starting.
After the biopower electric system runs out of power, it will switch to fuel power.
Jingmu drove for a while outside the factory.
It feels very wonderful.
When the car uses bioelectric power, the entire driving process is very quiet.
When Jingmu uses the electric mode, he presses the accelerator to the lowest level.
Although the S5 uses the cheapest motor developed by Cangqiong Automobile.
Both the output power and torque data are very ugly, just like a classic car.
But a tram is a tram.
To speed up is to be much faster than before.
Soon the car's speed increased to 80 kilometers per hour.
If the power output mode is used, the speed of the car cannot be further increased due to battery function problems.
Jingmu also adjusted the power mode to fuel power.
The whole switch is very smooth.
After the fuel mode intervenes, the vehicle speed quickly increases.
Jingmu tried driving an automatic car again.
The automatic transmission's biological battery can provide 80 kilometers of driving range.
It is completely enough for many people who only commute in the city.
If the user is not afraid of trouble, he can purchase enough energy blocks and always use the biological battery life mode.
After the test, Jingmu got out of the car and looked at the Haima logo on the front and rear of the car.
The feeling of pride in my heart arose spontaneously.
A month or two ago, he would never have imagined that Haima Automobile would have such a wonderful future.
After cooperating with Changtian Technology, he will definitely come back to life.
Jingmu gave Zeng Guoxiang a thumbs up and said with great praise: "Minister Zeng! Your team is really amazing. I didn't expect to complete a major upgrade of our S5 car in such a short period of time."
"The S5 that can use bio-battery will definitely become a hit."
Zeng Guoxiang also said very modestly: "Thank you very much, Mr. Jing. Our team can complete the work so smoothly thanks to your support!"
At this time, Jingmu's secretary received an urgent document and handed it to Jingmu.
This is the appointment letter sent by Cangqiong Automobile Headquarters.
Because after Cangqiong Automobile acquired 55% of Haima Automobile's shares, it has absolute say in personnel matters.
Cangqiong Automobile directly appointed Zeng Guoxiang as the general manager of Haima Automobile, and Jingmu as the chairman.
This is how a group company works, as long as you have the absolute right to speak.
In an emergency, you can download the certification documents first and then go through them with the board of directors.
After Jingmu collected the documents, he said happily: "Mr. Zeng, the appointment documents from the headquarters have been issued, general manager."
Zeng Guoxiang had known about this matter for a long time, and before he came to Nanhai Province, Ma Guotao had said that he would be solely responsible for Haima's affairs.
Including this time, the sales issue of Haima S5 cars will be discussed by Zeng Guoxiang and Haima's team, and Cangqiong Automobile will not give any instructions.
After discussion, Zeng Guoxiang and Jingmu decided on the price of the new generation Haima car.
Among them, the final comprehensive production cost of the manual version (including the initial production cost and modification cost is 65,000), and the automatic version is 75,000.
Then the team finally decided that the final sales price of the S5 would be 130,000 for the manual hybrid version and 149,000 for the automatic hybrid version.
After the plan was finalized, Haima 4S stores in major cities across the country displayed posters and advertisements for the S5 hybrid version.
"With less than 150,000 yuan, you can enjoy the fun of new bioenergy."
This is the promotional poster of Haima S5.
As soon as the promotional poster for the improved Haima S5 was released, the entire automobile industry dropped a bombshell.
