The conversation lasted about half an hour, and then the sales department manager left.
After giving instructions to each department on what needed to be done, Xu Yifan himself didn't have too many things to do.
In this case, why not play games to pass the time!
Finger presses the computer power button.
CPU: i7-920, graphics card: GTX 295, the current top version of the computer is started.
While waiting for the XP system to load, Xu Yifan took the time to glance at the Gigafactory system panel.
[Super Factory System: Level 1]
[Funds: 190,000]
[Building: Level 1 production workshop of Jiuzhou Automobile Factory (with an annual production capacity of more than 20,000 Jiuzhou Mini units)
Hengxin Battery Manufacturing Factory Level 2 (can produce 50GWh lithium iron phosphate batteries annually)
Two-wheeled electric vehicle production plant level 2 (can produce 500,000 two-wheeled electric vehicles annually)
R&D Center Level 1, Battery R&D Center Level 1, Staff Dormitory Level 1, Canteen Level 1, Warehouse Level 1, and Office Building Level 2. 】
[Employees: 2138 (employee satisfaction: 66%)]
[Product: Jiuzhou mini (Laotou Le) (average production technology) (average product quality)
The new lithium iron phosphate battery has an energy density of 130Wh/kg and a cycle life of more than 4,200 times. 】
[Technology: Lithium iron phosphate battery technology (short-term leading battery technology) (the biggest feature is that it is very safe)]
The system panel has changed much more than before.
Especially on the building, two newly built factories are included, marking the products produced and annual output.
In addition, the number of employees has skyrocketed, more than four times what it was before!
Not only the operating workers, but also the sales department employees, the personnel department, the financial department, etc. have all undergone expansion again and again.
Today's Jiuzhou Automobile Factory has formed a considerable scale.
In terms of technology, this factory that originally closed down finally has its own technology!
congratulations!
And it can still temporarily lead the lithium iron phosphate battery technology of other battery manufacturers.
Although the battery performance does not exceed much, the most important aspect of safety is definitely the best in the world.
On the panel, in addition to the above changes, Xu Yifan is most worried about funding.
The previous loan of 100 million, plus the sales profits of Kyushu Mini Cars in the past three months, plus the funds that were available before, have all been consumed now!
Even the funds originally planned to be used to produce two-wheeled electric vehicles were all invested in the production of Kyushu mini low-speed electric vehicles.
Just like that, I still owe part of the payment to the supplier of production materials!
In exchange, the two foundries were able to produce at full capacity for nearly two months.
In the vehicle parking area, Kyushu mini low-speed electric vehicles are waiting to be installed and ready for sale!
Xu Yifan felt a little headache when he saw that even the payment of next month's salary would be problematic.
"This time, all the wealth has been spent. If Jiuzhou Mini's sales are not good and the vehicle inventory is large, the capital chain will be broken.
Apart from asking for money from home, the only option is to go bankrupt and run away! "
But when I think about it, during the Chinese New Year, I had several conversations with my dad, which revealed that I had had enough fun and went home to inherit the family business.
Xu Yifan sighed helplessly: "At home, I definitely can't rely on too much money. Let me persist for two more months at most."
"By the way, there is still a loan of 100 million in funds, with Hengxin Battery Factory and Two-wheel Electric Vehicle Factory as collateral. Calculating this, after paying off the suppliers' debts, we can last three to five months."
“The most important thing now is to sell all these vehicles and convert them into profits to recover the costs.
In this way, materials and parts can be purchased again, and products can be continuously manufactured and sold to make money, and finally a virtuous cycle continues. "
“There will be more places to spend money later, and the comprehensive automobile research institute to be built as soon as money is available must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Study body materials, manufacturing processes, components, motors, controllers and more.
Reducing costs, improving vehicle quality and technology, experimental equipment and researchers are all a large expense. . . . . "
After careful calculation, Xu Yifan felt that it was not easy for those domestically produced cars to grow.
This is true even for Kyushu cars that have a system, not to mention those domestic brand cars that have nothing.
The consumption and backlog of funds are too large. No wonder some domestic manufacturers are very easy to go bankrupt.
Sometimes vehicles are obviously selling well, but due to miscalculation of the market.
Competitors have better models, cheaper vehicles of the same type, and other factors, which lead to an accumulation of products that cannot be sold, and ultimately a large loss of funds.
These situations are very common among car companies. A car manufacturer goes bankrupt and is later acquired by a new car-making force and restarts production.
The cycle continues, and small brands sell batch after batch.
There are even more brands that haven't even built a few cars, and the locals in the production base have never heard of them. In the end, they can only burn out all their money and retire sadly.
Compared with those unknown car companies, car companies such as Shuanghuan, Zotye, and Lifan are all considered successful, at least they were once a hit.
Most car companies that can always stand in front of the public have their own core competitiveness and technology!
Building cars is really not something that just any small factory can sustain.
Because the price is high and it is often a big-ticket item for the family, most consumers are very cautious when buying a car. They want to buy a big brand, technology and quality.
And after choosing and choosing, most consumers today are targeting joint venture cars.
Only when it is difficult to have funds on hand will you turn your attention to domestically produced cars.
The final pattern is that joint ventures eat meat in large quantities, domestic products drink some leftover soup, and small factories can’t even drink the soup!
Jiuzhou Auto is very lucky to have found such a pretty good way to start.
There is no competition among joint venture cars, there is only competition among domestic car brands who are hungry and want to take a bite when they see the profits!
With their own technical advantages, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.
Only by first annexing the low-speed electric vehicle market, Jiuzhou Automobile, with sufficient financial support and continuous research and development of new technologies, can have enough confidence to officially enter the Shura field of automobiles!
"The future is still too far away, and I don't know if Jiuzhou Auto's dream of reaching the top of the industry can be realized."
"Now, let's focus on the present!"
"Although everything that needs to be done has been done, it is useless to think too much. The next step is to wait for the sales results."
"The first goal is to not go bankrupt!"
Fortunately, there is a system in place, which makes it much easier to manage the factory. Otherwise, just one factory with so many people would be enough to keep Xu Yifan busy every day.
Not to mention having time to play games!
The computer had started, and Xu Yifan skillfully opened a game icon on the desktop.
Counter-Strike OL
Role: 'One Shot, One Child' is online!
Map, desert one.
"We are their slaves!"
The roar of machine guns and the wails of biological zombies came from the office!
