Chapter 1418 The future market is very good (4000 words) ask for a monthly pass
"Brother He, we are just here to hang out. Just be busy and don't worry about us." Xia Zekai greeted him politely.
But He Xiufeng still pulled them towards the 'BYD' exhibition area.
At this time, there is a plug-in hybrid "Tang" parked in the 'BYD' exhibition area, which is different from the first-generation Qin that was exhibited in 2012.
It looks pretty from the outside, but Xia Zekai currently has no love for so-called "new energy electric vehicles", but this does not prevent him from appreciating the first-generation plug-in hybrid "Tang".
Besides them, there are many people here watching the car.
It is completely different from the 2012 Beijing International Auto Show, which was the first window to promote new energy electric vehicles. However, at this year's Beijing International Auto Show, among the 118 cars launched this year, 79
All of them are new energy electric vehicles, which sends a very strong signal to the outside world.
In the next step, the focus of automobiles will most likely shift to the direction of "new energy". After all, major car manufacturing forces have been consciously promoting new energy vehicles from now on.
But this still cannot drive the sales of "new energy electric vehicles".
The increase in various new models has only exposed ordinary people to more new energy vehicle styles, thereby enhancing their confidence in planning to buy "new energy vehicles" in the future.
However, there are still insurmountable bottlenecks in current car stability, battery life and other issues, making people daunted by it.
"Brother He, how much does this car cost?" Xia Zekai asked, pointing to the silver-sand black 'Tang' on display.
Then I heard He Xiufeng introduce: "The car on display now is a 2.0T four-wheel drive extreme speed plug-in hybrid model produced by our company. The price is slightly higher, with a sales price of 518,800 yuan."
Hearing the price, Xia Zekai was stunned for a moment. Frankly speaking, it was really not cheap.
I am afraid that for most people at this time, buying a ‘BYD’ plug-in new energy vehicle at this price is not as good as buying a Mercedes-Benz GLC or Volvo XC60.
If not, I guess the probability of choosing the Range Rover Evoque will be higher.
As expected, He Xiufeng also sighed: "This car is not easy to sell now."
He said: "We have been exhibiting here since the first day, but in the past few days, we have ordered less than ten units in total, and they are all more premium versions with mid-range four-wheel drive, and that one only costs more than 20
Ten thousand."
"Brother He, the price of your car is too high." Xia Zekai said straightforwardly.
He Xiufeng also knew that what Xia Zekai said was the truth, but there was nothing he could do about it.
In the past few years, the company has begun to develop new energy electric vehicles, and the costs of all aspects are there. If the price is low, it will be a pure loss.
Furthermore, the current pricing of new energy vehicles is not low. If the pricing is too low, the quality will be lowered.
However, Xia Weicheng heard that this car was both gasoline and electric. He was particularly interested and pointed at the car: "Can I go up and have a look?"
"Uncle, just take a look." He Xiufeng said with a smile.
He also called a staff member to explain to Xia Weicheng the relevant functions in the car.
After Xia Weicheng got out of the car, he said very excitedly: "The inside of this car is so beautiful, the screen is so big, it feels even more beautiful than the Land Rover I just bought."
Hearing what his father said, Xia Zekai said: "Dad, otherwise I will buy you another one."
"Come on, one car is enough. How can I drive so much?" Xia Weicheng quickly waved his hand and refused.
But Xia Zekai said: "Dad, it's okay, let's drive instead, otherwise it will be a waste of my 26 parking spaces to be empty."
When Zhou Yinghong heard what her son said, she glared at him: "Zekai, this is unreasonable. Don't buy it for your dad again."
Xia Zekai touched his nose, smiled and stopped talking.
Yatou and Tongtong saw the new energy vehicle models in the rest room of the BYD exhibition area. These models were so lifelike that they kept staring at them.
Even Qingyu, Chenchen and Jingling, the three siblings, stared at him without blinking.
After He Xiufeng saw it, he immediately gave one to each of them.
"Let's play with it," he said.
"This is impossible!" Luo Xiyun waved his hand, wanting to refuse.
Obviously, these models are placed here by BYD to introduce models to customers.
But He Xiufeng said firmly: "It's okay, let them play. Isn't this model just for people to play with?"
"Thank you, uncle!" Yatou and Tongtong quickly expressed their gratitude.
Even Qingyu and the three of them also followed their sister and shouted: "Thank you, uncle!"
"Hey, they are all good kids!" He Xiufeng looked at this family with inexplicable envy.
Xia Zekai may be considered successful now, but he spends time with his family every day, which makes He Xiufeng particularly envious.
Xia Zekai also discovered something. During the time they stayed in the rest room in the exhibition area, there were many people outside looking at the 'Tang', but there were not many people who actually asked about the price and understood the performance of this car. Come in and try it out.
There are even fewer people sitting down.
This can also be seen from the side that there are very few people buying "new energy vehicles".
"There is still a long way to go!" Xia Zekai thought in his heart.
"Brother He, I will take you with me when I leave in the afternoon. Come to my place for a meal in the evening and let's have a good chat." Xia Zekai invited him.
He Xiufeng originally wanted to refuse, but Xia Zekai's domineering temper came back and he said directly: "That's it."
After coming out of the BYD exhibition area, Xia Zekai took his parents, wife and children to visit other exhibition areas.
At this moment, Yatou, Tongtong and the others were each holding a model and wouldn't let go.
Even in Qingyu, Chenchen and Jingling each held their own model, but this thing was different from a toy car. It was made of quite solid materials, and even had a micro engine inside, which meant that it
Very heavy.
The three of them felt tired after holding it for a while and couldn't hold it anymore.
Before she could hand the model to her parents, Qingyu dropped it to the ground first.
The quality of this model is really good. There was nothing wrong with it after it fell to the ground.
"Dad, it's so heavy." Chenchen shouted after him.
Xia Zekai just picked up Qingyu's model, then took Chenchen's model and held it for the two siblings.
Luo Xiyun asked the youngest: "Jing Ling, mom, please hold it for you."
"No, I'll take it myself." Jing Ling disagreed and rejected her mother's proposal on the spot.
He eats more than his sister and brother, and he grows stronger and has a lot of strength.
When Luo Xiyun heard what he said, he ignored him.
Coming out of the new energy vehicle exhibition area is the new energy vehicle accessories exhibition area.
There is not much traffic here, but most of the people who come here are professionals or practitioners in the new energy automobile industry.
Xia Zekai just took a quick glance, but before he took a closer look at the situation here, he heard his wife say: "Zekai, isn't that Mr. Zeng? He's here in person again?"
Xia Zekai looked in the direction of his wife's finger and actually saw Zeng Yuqun.
"Go over and take a look." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xiyun said "hmm" and followed.
As for the old couple Zhou Yinghong and Xia Weicheng, they are just looking at something new, and it doesn't matter if they look at cars or accessories.
In comparison, auto parts make them even more curious. After all, they can only see the car shell from the outside, but not the other parts in full.
"Mr. Zeng." Xia Zekai stepped forward and shouted.
Zeng Yuqun was introducing their power battery to a customer. Hearing Xia Zekai's shout, he turned his head and saw Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun. The moment he saw the couple, a smile naturally appeared on his face: "Mr. Xia, Mr. Luo, you guys
When did you come?"
"I just came here and walked around." Xia Zekai said.
"Hurry in and drink some water." Zeng Yuqun handed over the task of introducing power batteries to customers to technical director Wang Kai.
He personally led Xia Zekai and his family inside.
The customers were quite curious as to who the young man was just now, with such a huge array of dishes.
He is also a practitioner in the new energy vehicle industry, but he knows the reputation of Ningde Batteries in the industry, and he also knows that Zeng Yuqun now plays a pivotal role in the power battery industry of new energy vehicles.
Wang Kai smiled and said: "We are Mr. Zeng's friend."
"Mr. Zeng's friend?" The customer muttered to himself, but he obviously didn't believe it, but since Wang Kai didn't tell him, he couldn't ask.
The exhibition area of 'Ningde Batteries' this time was much larger than the last time Xia Zekai came here, and the rest room seemed very spacious. The two parties reminisced for a while, and Zeng Yuqun realized that Xia Zekai and the others had been in the capital for two months.
"Mr. Zeng, how is the effect of our battery exhibited this time?" Xia Zekai asked him.
Zeng Yuqun couldn't help but be happy: "Mr. Xia, the effect of this exhibition was particularly good, and many new customers came to us to place orders."
"I predict that the production capacity will be increased in the next step, and we will continue to invest in building factories."
After Xia Zekai thought about it for a moment, he understood that new energy vehicles are mainly promoted to end consumers, and consumers are currently less willing to buy them.
But power batteries are mainly promoted by manufacturers of new energy electric vehicles, so this is much easier.
After all, you have to produce new energy electric vehicles before they can be sold to end consumers.
In this link, power batteries are an indispensable core product.
So far, there are many companies producing power batteries across the country, but only a few such as BYD and Ningde Battery have made a name for themselves.
The power batteries produced by Ningde Battery are now highly praised in the industry, and they are much easier to market.
While Xia Zekai and the others were chatting with Zeng Yuqun, two more groups of people came outside, one of which was a foreigner, and they were all asking about the power battery.
Fortunately, there were many people coming to Ningde Battery this time and there were enough manpower to receive customers.
When Luo Xiyun saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's great!"
"Yeah." Zeng Yuqun nodded.
He said: "The sales of electric vehicles have been increasing year by year in the past two years, and the sales volume is not bad, but I think in the next few years, its sales will be higher and higher. At that time, our products will bloom everywhere and we will have a good harvest.
.”
"Yes, I think so too." Xia Zekai laughed and agreed.
Zeng Yuqun talked about Ningde Battery’s continued investment in building factories.
The investment in Qicheng Ningde Battery is just the beginning of "Ningde Battery". According to Zeng Yuqun, there will be many projects started across the country.
"Is the money enough?" Xia Zekai asked him.
In this regard, Zeng Yuqun is very honest and not hypocritical at all. He said: "The money is definitely not enough. I plan to introduce some more investors."
In the past two years, in addition to the initial investment of Kaiyun Investment, Zeng Yuqun has introduced two more waves of investors.
‘Kayun Investment’ will invest a little bit every time to ensure that the shares are not diluted too much.
Xia Zekai nodded: "Then continue to introduce new investors. Would you like me to introduce a few to you?"
"Sequoia China, Shunwei Capital, these capitals are very rich." Xia Zekai mentioned a few.
It was a coincidence, Zeng Yuqun said: "Sequoia China is also among our investors in this round."
Unlike the Internet industry, the valuation in that area is too fictitious and is purely about storytelling without corresponding performance support.
Ningde Battery has real products, significant order customers, industrial scale, and corresponding market demand.
There is a clear total revenue and profit ratio.
And all parties’ expectations for the future of the new energy vehicle market!
After overcoming the initial difficulties with the help of Kaiyun Investment's funds, reaching cooperation agreements with BMW, Volkswagen, etc., and completely opening up the market, more and more investors are optimistic about Ningde Batteries.
Hearing that Sequoia China had invested in Ningde Battery, Xia Zekai raised a thumbs up: "I won't say whether Lao Shen can do anything else, but his vision is extremely accurate!"
When Zeng Yuqun heard what Xia Zekai said, he murmured in his heart: "I guess you are the only one who can call me Lao Shen."
"Mr. Zeng, come to my place for dinner tonight, and I will introduce you to a friend." Xia Zekai extended an invitation to him.
Zeng Yuqun was quite curious. There must not be many people who could be called 'friends' by Xia Zekai. Who could this person be?
He also wanted to strengthen the relationship with Xia Zekai, so he agreed.
"Okay, I'll pick you up when I go back in the afternoon." Xia Zekai said.
But Zeng Yuqun said: "Mr. Xia, tell me the address, and we can go there ourselves."
"No, it's not easy to get out. I have to take them around here. If I leave, it will be in the afternoon. I will take you back together then so that I don't have to find excuses to drive and not drink at night." Xia Zekai suddenly came.
Such a sentence.
Zeng Yuqun burst out laughing after hearing this.
He and Xia Zekai were able to chat well because they had very similar personalities and were both very cheerful.
Xia Zekai continued to take the whole family to visit other places, but Zeng Yuqun and the others continued to be busy.
By the time it was past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, even Yatou and Tongtong, the sisters, complained that they were tired and sleepy.
Not to mention the other three little guys.
At this time, Xia Zekai asked someone to call He Xiufeng, Zeng Yuqun and the others, preparing to go back to the Honolulu villa area together.
