Chapter 344 Mango Automobile Super Factory, Moya moves, Zhang Shuo can also write poetry?!
Zhang Shuo came to Magic City to attend the signing ceremony of the Mango Automobile Magic City Super Factory project.
After the unprecedented success of Maili
The final result is.
Mango Auto took the lead in acquiring a piece of land covering an area of more than 1,200 acres in the Linhai Heavy Equipment Industrial Zone in Shanghai, a full six years ahead of Teshila in the original time and space.
According to the overall plan, the project will be divided into three phases of construction, with four main areas designed: vehicle production area, test area, parts production area and joint workshop (maintenance workshop).
The first phase is the test area, which mainly provides various test facilities for the Mango m1 test vehicle.
The project is expected to have a total investment of 12 billion, including 800 million in land transfer fees, and an estimated investment of 300 million in the first phase of the project. Even if it is placed in the Magic City, it is considered a super project.
Therefore, the Magic City paid great attention to it and arranged a grand signing ceremony.
In the original time and space, Teshila purchased thousands of acres of industrial land at a reserve price of 970 million. In this life, although Mango Auto obtained the land at a lower price, it also enjoyed a certain discount.
In addition, it is industrial land, so the land transfer fee is not expensive.
Furthermore, the area where the Mango Automobile Gigafactory project is located is on the edge of the city, and much of the surrounding area is still farmland or wasteland, so the land price is even less likely to be too expensive.
It’s not even as good as Houhai in Binhai City.
As for the total investment of the project, although the original Spacetime Teshila claims to have invested 50 billion, the actual investment in the first phase of the project is estimated to be around 16 billion.
In this regard, most of the funds were settled by Shanghai Banking Corporation, which took the initiative to take the lead in solving the problem.
Tesila has a bit of a sense of sitting back and reaping the rewards.
As for Mango Auto, it is backed by the parent company of Sprout, so it doesn’t need a bank loan at the moment.
After all, Mango cars are different from Teshu La.
At that time, Tessla had already produced mature models, but it was limited by insufficient production capacity and could not deliver on time. It came to Shanghai to build a factory in order to increase production capacity in the shortest possible time.
What about Mango cars?
The first test model is being designed intensively, and mass production is far away.
In addition, due to the high degree of automation in automobile manufacturing and assembly, Tessila has similar assembly lines and production line experience in the beautiful country, but Mango Auto needs to start from scratch.
Just the world's largest one-piece die-casting machine, Tessilana, is enough to give Mango Auto a headache.
Therefore, in the next year, Mango Auto will not only invest a lot of energy in the design and development of the Mango m1, but also form another team to be responsible for researching key technologies related to the Gigafactory.
R&D funding needs to be raised to a higher level.
………
10 am.
As soon as Zhang Shuo and his entourage got off the plane, they rushed directly to the signing site.
After arriving at the destination, it was a coincidence that as soon as he got off the car, he bumped into a Xinjing News reporter. Zhang Shuo frowned slightly and said to Tang Xiang: "Didn't I tell you that Mei Ya will no longer invite Xinjing News reporters?"
?"
"I was invited by the Magic City, you have nothing to do with it."
The reporter also had a sharp ear and gave Zhang Shuo a sharp rebuttal.
"Yeah?"
Zhang Shuo smiled half-heartedly and said to Tang Xiang, "Go and communicate with the Magic City authorities."
"OK!"
Although the big boss didn't say it explicitly, Tang Xiang understood clearly and wanted to get rid of this reporter.
This is a test of his skills. He must not only complete the tasks assigned by his boss, but also not leave the impression that "the sprouts are too arrogant" to the Magic City. Proper handling is crucial.
Zhang Shuo didn't care how Tang Xiang communicated.
Anyway, not long after he entered the reception room, the reporter was respectfully asked out by the on-site security guards.
"Um?"
"Hey, the cute king really does what he says, and it's no exception at home in the Magic City."
All the reporters present were all smart, so they naturally guessed what was going on and were happy to watch the excitement. Only the reporter's face turned red and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
How embarrassing!
With such an incident, I believe that there will be no need for Sprout to express its stance in the future, and Xinjingbao will probably no longer be asking for trouble by appearing at press conferences related to Sprout.
otherwise.
Zhang Shuo really doesn't show any emotion at all.
"Hey, who said that I am now a guest of the Magic City? If you have to choose between budding and frightened, you will know with your toes what is going to happen. The cute king has also changed his mind."
When someone dies, the fox is sad.
"But pull it down. What is going on with that newspaper? If others don't know, how can we still not know? Someone should have come forward to deal with them long ago, so as not to ruin the whole pot of porridge and ruin the industry."
"That's right, what's there to sympathize with about such an unscrupulous colleague?"
The media reporters present were quite upright and did not want to collude with Xin Jinghang.
………
Reception room.
The incident that happened off the court did not affect Zhang Shuo. He was meeting with the leaders of the Magic City.
"The success of Maili mobile phone has added luster to China's manufacturing industry."
"You are so complimentary. We have done what we should do. We have invested more in research and development and made more original creations. China itself has a very strong mobile phone industry chain foundation." Zhang Shuo was very modest.
There is no way, not even if you are not humble.
"Does that mean that the same is true in the field of electric vehicles? Invest more in research and development, and at the same time be exposed to the supporting facilities of China's automobile industry chain?" The leader quickly got down to business.
"That's indeed the plan. Mango Automobile's headquarters is located in the city because it wants to take advantage of the city's mature automotive supporting industry and geographical advantages." Zhang Shuo also said bluntly.
"Then, does the city government need to do anything?"
"I hope I can take the lead. After all, Mango Auto is a newcomer in the industry. It is very lacking in patent reserves and manufacturing experience. It would be great if we could reach strategic cooperation with local automobile companies."
Zhang Shuo was not polite and made the request directly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is okay. If you don't mind, I will be the matchmaker."
"Then it's hard work!"
Zhang Shuo is also very excited. It seems that the city's attitude toward Mango Cars has indeed undergone a 180-degree turn, and it intends to start supporting the electric vehicle industry.
This is definitely a big plus for Mango Auto.
………
After attending the project signing ceremony, Zhang Shuo did not stay in Shanghai for long and flew back to Binhai City in the afternoon.
It was like being a trapeze artist for a time.
If nothing else, today is Gu Xiaoxi's birthday. Tang Yu, Murong Yan and the others will celebrate Gu Xiaoxi's birthday at home, so Zhang Shuo cannot be absent.
Fortunately, I finally caught up.
"Third brother, have you prepared any gifts for Xiao Xi?" This girl, Tang Yu, had problems with Zhang Shuo as soon as they met. Even when she was at work, she couldn't do anything right.
Especially after his second uncle went to work in Yangcheng, Tang Yu seemed to let himself go even more.
"certainly!"
Zhang Shuo, however, was already prepared and took out an unopened Maili x1 mobile phone.
"Tch, this is too insincere, isn't it?" Tang Yu curled his lips.
If it were an ordinary college student, and a MaiLi x1, it would definitely be a very good birthday gift, and could even be said to be very expensive.
But for Zhang Shuo, a budding boss, it was just like pulling a green vegetable from the vegetable patch at home as a gift.
It's obviously not sincere enough.
"Would you know if you are sincere or not?" No matter how heartless Zhang Shuo was, he would not be so perfunctory with Gu Xiaoxi.
"I'll drive it!"
Tang Yu obviously didn't believe it. He rushed to open the packaging box and was surprised: "Hey, why is it red?"
"Wow, what a beautiful rose red!"
Murong Yan's eyes were also shining, she raised her head and said: "Third brother, doesn't Maili x1 not have a red color?"
No girl can refuse the color red.
"Of course it's not available on the market, but isn't it a specially customized model?" Zhang Shuo explained with a smile.
"You have a heart."
Tang Yu was about to let Zhang Shuo go, "Hey, no, there's a line of poetry engraved on the back of the phone."
"cough…"
Zhang Shuo looked slightly embarrassed, "Don't you want to read it now?"
"never!"
Tang Yu couldn't be obedient and blurted out: "Looking back at Qingren City, the river flows westward. Haha, what kind of poetry is this? Third brother, you are really enough."
I really never miss an opportunity to complain about Zhang Shuo.
"I feel very good."
Li Ling, who had been silent until now, rarely spoke up, "It doesn't sound like much at first glance, but if you take a closer look, it reveals a different kind of interest, and it also has Xiaoxi's name hidden in it. It's quite good."
"Xiao Yu is just not interesting."
Murong Yan also rebelled, "Customized mobile phone, unique engraving, just this kind of thought, what girl can bear it? What more popcorn is needed?"
"You, you..."
Tang Yu was speechless after being betrayed by his girlfriends, and had no choice but to glare at Zhang Shuo.
"It's none of my business. It's because you are uneducated." Zhang Shuo spread his hands.
"hehe!"
As an editor of the journalism department, it was a bit too much to say that Tang Yu was uneducated. He gritted his teeth and said, "Third brother, you are so arrogant. If I were shocked and reported it to a reporter, I would be pissed to death by you."
Obviously he also knows the inside story of the industry.
"Don't underestimate those reporters. Their professional ethics may not be very good, but they still have some skills in showing off their words, and their questions are very tricky." Zhang Shuo is not arrogant.
"Anyway, I just don't like them!"
Although he always complained about Zhang Shuo, Tang Yu still defended his third brother very much outside. When he was at the newspaper office, he almost quarreled with his colleagues because of this.
"Stop talking about this, Xiaoxi, just blow out the candles."
Zhang Shuo didn't want to delve deeper into this issue. Under the flickering candlelight, a nice blush appeared on Gu Xiaoxi's face. He didn't know whether it was from the heat or because of the gift from Zhang Shuo.
As Murong Yan said, what girl doesn't have a child?
This year's birthday is destined to be something Gu Xiaoxi will never forget.
………
The next day was the weekend, but something big happened in Germination.
The main tower of the sprout building in Houhai of the sprout industrial park has been completed and accepted. Taking advantage of the weekend break, the headquarters of the sprout group will be moved from the sprout building in the north of Lubei to Houhai and officially settled in the industrial park.
Of course, not all departments in the headquarters will be relocated.
The two subsidiaries, such as Sprout Investment and Sprout Financial Holdings, are engaged in finance-related businesses and will continue to work in the Sprout Building in Lubei.
Including Maili Group, Pinxixi will also stay.
With the relocation of the office area, Zhang Shuo will also officially move into the penthouse of the Youth Apartment, enjoying a happy life with his home and company less than one kilometer away.
You don’t even need to ride a car, just run or ride a bicycle.
………
Monday, September 24th.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Shuo appeared in the new office.
Dai Yutong arrived half an hour early. With his secretary and assistant, he tidied up Nuo Da's office inside and out and prepared Zhang Shuo's favorite tea.
Compared with the Lubei office area, the new office decoration is even more luxurious.
Of course, Zhang Shuo has passed the stage of caring about these details.
When I arrived at the office, I summoned the group executives who were at home and had a brief meeting in the conference room.
"Mr. Zhang, look at this."
Lu Qi handed over a newspaper, and surprisingly it was the Xinjing Newspaper. It published the news on the front page that Zhang Shuo was blatantly interfering with press freedom and driving away reporters.
It can be seen that he is also torn apart.
"That's good."
Zhang Shuo didn't care. There wasn't much public opinion stirred up online, and offline newspapers were still shaking things up.
"Two things."
Zhang Shuo was not prepared to just let it go.
"Notify Tiantian Toutiao that from now on, we will stop reprinting any reports from the Xinjing Newspaper. In addition, we will send people to keep an eye on this newspaper. Any reports that are unfavorable to Su Ya, which are exaggerated, confusing facts, or even slanderous, will be directly warned by a lawyer.
Don’t be afraid of litigation.”
He was also completely hooked.
"good!"
Seeing that the boss said so, Lu Qi could only execute it.
"Tell me what you gained from this trip."
Zhang Shuo didn't bother too much about the newspaper issue and looked at Gu Mingzhang who had just returned from the beautiful country.
“Qualcomm’s attitude is okay.”
Gu Mingzhang reported with a smile: "At least for now, there is no sign that Qualcomm will choose a side between Maili and Pingguo. We are also looking forward to the sales of Maili x1 reaching a new level."
The more MaiLi x1 is sold, the more Qualcomm will make.
"That's good."
Zhang Shuo also quietly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "Is there any other news about the mobile phone industry?"
"some."
Although Gu Mingzhang was on a business trip, he kept an eye on all directions and listened to all directions.
"As Maili x1 is being shipped one after another, sales have continued to rise, and single-day bookings have steadily exceeded 100,000 units. Our competitors have also made some moves recently."
This is also normal.
Facing the dark horse of Mai Li 1, competitors really have to remain indifferent.
That's not normal.
"First of all, Samsung has come up with a National Day event planning plan. During the event, Samsung S3 will have a discount of 200 yuan. It is reported that Samsung S3 is also interested in participating in the following Double Eleven event."
Faced with competitive pressure from MaiLi x1, Sanxing carried out substantial price reductions through event discounts, lowering the selling price below MaiLi x1 and taking the lead in initiating a price war.
This is also because Samsung S3 has been on sale since May and has now entered the second half of sales, so it has the confidence to carry out "event price reductions" without having any impact on the brand.
"Where is htc?" Zhang Shuo asked curiously.
"H has also carried out similar marketing activities, and the price reduction is even greater, expected to be between 300 and 500 yuan. Although high-end models still cannot challenge the Maili
Consumers are still very tempting." Gu Mingzhang reported with a smile.
After the last online smear incident, Factory H’s reputation in China has plummeted.
But word of mouth, especially negative word of mouth, will slowly dissipate over time. The basketball crisis of the original time and space is a perfect example.
There is also Nai Ke. At first he was shouting about beating and killing, but later he said "it smells really good". There were not many of them.
Overall.
Chinese consumers are quite forgetful.
For consumers, as long as HTC mid-range models are affordable enough, they will still consider buying them.
Fortunately, the mid-range model will not pose any challenge to the Maili x1. Instead, it will form oppressive competition for the Xiaomi 2, which has just been released.
Rebus was probably scolding her by now.
Who would have thought that when Maili and Factory H were fighting, the one injured was actually Xiaomi, who was watching the fun from the sidelines.
"Pingguo has also made new moves, announcing that China will be included in the first batch of global sales markets. It is expected that sales of Pingguo 5 will start in China in mid-to-early November." Gu Mingzhang continued to report.
“Mid-to-early November…”
Zhang Shuo frowned slightly. There is no doubt that this is Pingguo's response and adjustment after facing the pressure of Maili x1. In the future, he will pay more attention to the competition for the Chinese market.
He is also not afraid of a head-on confrontation with Maili x1.
In order to please Chinese consumers, Pingguo released the new phone in China one month earlier than the original time and space.
Instead of destroying its future like Factory H.
Giants like Sanxing and Pingguo are sometimes arrogant, but they still have a good idea of how to compete for the market and please consumers.
At critical moments, you can also put down your posture.
"Pingguo sells in advance, so sell in advance. Our strategy remains unchanged, proceed steadily, do what we have to do, and don't be affected by competitors," Zhang Shuo said.
"Is such that."
Gu Mingzhang could have calmed down, "The official flagship store of Maili x1 Jing Dong is already under intensive preparation and will be officially launched during the National Day holiday. Cooperating with Jing Dong's marketing activities, it can also hedge against the three-star price reduction to a certain extent.
adverse effects.”
"Ali, on the other hand, has also contacted us, hoping that Maili Group will also open an official flagship store in Mobao, and also promised to allocate publicity resources. Mr. Zhang, how should we reply?" Gu Mingzhang asked for instructions.
Seeing that Mai Li x1 was selling so hotly, Ahri couldn't sit still anymore and continued to show his goodwill.
"Let's check it out first and take a look at the sales situation at Jingdong Store."
Zhang Shuo, however, was determined to take the opportunity to beat Ah Li and did not let go easily.
"clear!"
Gu Mingzhang won't mention it further.
"In addition to the sales of MaiLi x1, the R&D and design of MaiLi
The success of MaiLi x1 alone is not enough to establish the success of MaiLi mobile phone.
In a sense, the success or failure of Maili
Zhang Shuo will naturally pay more attention to it.
And to be honest, although Maili x1 is amazing, it has a lot of minor problems due to insufficient technical reserves, such as easy heat generation, short battery life, and lags after being used for a long time.
These problems must be fundamentally solved on Maili x2.
otherwise.
Maili mobile phone is not enough to truly compete head-on with Pingguo.
"Regarding the R&D and design of Maili x2, Song Yun has been leading the team to lay out the layout as early as two months ago. I will ask you to come and provide guidance when the time comes."
Of course, Gu Mingzhang hopes that Zhang Shuo will participate in the design of Maili x2.
