In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
Jiangzhou City, a small fifth-tier city that is not very well-known in China, gathered the presidents and directors of domestic large and small car companies on this day.
The new product launch conference was held in the afternoon, and the management of most car companies had already arrived in the morning.
Under the guidance of Kyushu employees who were specifically responsible for reception, everyone gathered together at Kyushu Automobile's comprehensive automobile research and development center.
The comprehensive automobile research and development center with a huge open space is very suitable for an occasion like today, where you can actually and closely check the performance of Kyushu Automobile's new products.
A product launch conference can be regarded as an industry summit because it can bring together keynote speakers from both large and small domestic car companies.
Domestic large and small car companies, plus several internationally renowned joint venture executives, the total number of people is close to one hundred.
They are all in the automotive industry, and the management of each company. Although they don't meet often, they often see each other in various conference news.
A group of colleagues with an average age of over fifty. Although they usually wish something would happen to each other, now they still greet each other with smiles in person.
"Mr. Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you still look like you."
"Director Liu, we haven't seen each other for more than three years."
"Old Wang, you are here too!"
"Of course, this is Kyushu Automobile's new product launch conference."
"In terms of Kyushu Motor's motors and control systems, our company has wanted to cooperate with Kyushu Motor Company for a long time, but Kyushu Motor did not have such business before."
People who are familiar with each other greet each other, and everyone knows the purpose of coming. While chatting, the topic will always turn to today's protagonist, Jiuzhou Automobile.
In the morning, due to the relatively remote location of Jiangzhou City and the long journeys of some participants, the official start time of the product launch was in the afternoon.
Senior executives of these companies who came earlier and are interested can, under the leadership of Kyushu Automobile employees, visit some of the buildings in the factory, or the technologies that can be demonstrated to outsiders.
While visiting, some company executives felt emotional.
"The name of Jiuzhou Automobile is now more famous than ours, Chery."
"The Kyushu Suzaku model is already very famous among all international brands of car models. It is the fastest mass production car that can fly on the ground."
"The sales of Kyushu Suzaku seem to be very good in recent months. I have seen a lot of videos on the international Internet. Especially the rich people in Saudi Arabia who are not short of money like it very much."
"Jiuzhou Automobile Company..."
Regarding the current achievements of Kyushu Motors, it would be false to say that they are not jealous. They have strong official support and have their own unique motor technology.
When we came here early in the morning, everyone briefly saw the appearance of Kyushu Automobile, and they said it unceremoniously.
Just judging from the aesthetics of the factory's construction, the area of the factory, the scale of the factory, etc., it is not as good as 80% of the car companies that came to participate in this new product launch today.
The only thing better than those old car companies are the employees I saw when they went to work in the morning. The smiles on their faces were not numb, but sincerely full of hope for the work of Kyushu Motors.
For Jiuzhou Automobile, a young car company, the arriving company executives, presidents, general managers, and directors are also very sad in their hearts.
Several familiar company executives gathered together to talk about Jiuzhou Automobile Company while visiting the comprehensive automobile research and development center that they were most interested in.
"I didn't expect that this small company would grow into the leader in the domestic electric car field in just three years. The products it has released now can even attract domestic and foreign car companies, rushing to discuss cooperation."
"What is attractive is that this company's technology, battery technology, motor technology, electronic control and chassis and other aspects of vehicle manufacturing are very good, reaching the world's top or even surpassing the level."
"There has never been any car company that has risen as fast as Kyushu Motors, and has been able to accumulate such technology in just a few years..."
“It is the R&D team of Jiuzhou Automobile that can create such a miraculous company.
These are the people who are in this huge building now, the R&D personnel of the Integrated Automobile R&D Center. "
While talking, several company executives looked at the R&D personnel who were coming and going from time to time in the comprehensive automobile R&D center, their eyes filled with passion, and they wished they could pack all these people back to their companies one by one!
As an industrial product, cars are very focused on technology and strength. Even if they cannot obtain a large number of sales orders in a short period of time, consumers will be able to know the quality of the product as time goes by.
Unlike Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, Xu Yifan is so anxious. These automobile companies have the patience to wait for a few years.
The powerful performance of Kyushu Motor's Suzaku motor has been carefully studied by all car companies for nearly a year. It is not something that each car company can achieve in a short time.
There is also the battery technology that Kyushu Motors has been researching and developing. It is better than other low-speed electric vehicles and two-wheeled electric vehicles in the early stage, and it is the battery technology that relies on its development and rise.
Although in the past two years, everyone has become accustomed to the fact that Hengxin batteries are much better than other batteries, it is undeniable that with the iteration of technology, Hengxin batteries have been getting better.
There are even electronic controls, battery replacement technology, etc. Each of these is a breakthrough technology that takes several years, or even longer, to be developed by ordinary car companies.
And those excellent Jiuzhou Automobile R&D teams that can develop these technologies will naturally not escape the attention of senior executives of various companies, and even want to poach people with high salaries!
There are also companies that have put it into practice, but the results are not very good.
If the salary offered is less than 1 million, these R&D personnel of Jiuzhou Automobile are basically worthless. Ordinary R&D personnel can basically get such an annual salary at Jiuzhou Automobile with a little effort.
Those below five million are a little bit excited. As for those above five million, they have not appeared yet.
It's not that those car companies can't offer higher prices, but that they haven't found the right target candidates.
It’s impossible for just any Kyushu Motors R&D staff to give a high price.
Let’s take a closer look at Kyushu Automobile’s R&D team. In addition to their technical prowess, the entire R&D team plays a very important role in the entire R&D process. It does not mean that poaching a single boss can complete the redevelopment. Engraved with the technology of Kyushu Motors.
The salaries that the big guys in charge of project research and development receive at Kyushu Automobile are not comparable to those of ordinary R&D personnel. Five million is definitely not enough. Basically, those big guys in R&D can also get such benefits at Kyushu Automobile.
It is possible to earn 10 to 20 million a year, but currently no company offers such a high salary.
Moreover, when the big guys’ income reaches a certain level, after one or two million, many people’s pursuit of money is not as enthusiastic as it was at the beginning.
It’s very comfortable to work and live here at Jiuzhou Automobile, and we make more money than most company R&D departments. Our colleagues are also very capable, and they are all great teammates!
Besides, Jiuzhou Automobile has signed a non-competition agreement with everyone and has many technology patents. It will be difficult to find suitable R&D projects after changing jobs.
Unless huge amounts of funds are used to poach an entire team, no other reliable method has been found yet.
It is very difficult to poach the entire R&D team without alerting Kyushu Automobile's human resources department.
In addition to poaching people, you can also learn from Kyushu Motor's R&D model. However, in this regard, senior executives of various companies who have carefully understood it feel that Kyushu Motor's incentive model for the R&D team has no reference value.
Kyushu Automobile's R&D team incentive model can only be said to be confusing.
Even ordinary employees have very generous wages and high incentive bonuses, which is great in this regard.
Tens of billions of dollars are spent every year to support R&D personnel, which is unimaginable for almost all car companies. This is just the salary for R&D personnel, etc., not counting the investment in testing materials and employees.
A company that has just been profitable for a few years has spent almost all of its profits on research and development and expanding production capacity, which cannot be replicated by other car companies.
It’s not like no one has studied Kyushu Automobile’s current development, and carefully examined the rise of Kyushu Automobile.
It can only be said that we were very lucky to be able to find those excellent R&D personnel, plus the personnel responsible for various departments within the company, and the tough management methods of Xu Yifan, the owner of Kyushu Automobile.
It is absolutely impossible for other car companies to completely replicate the research and development routine.
"Jiuzhou Automobile is a company whose leaders are full of idealism. The key is such a ridiculous R&D team management model. It actually happened and developed various advanced technologies."
“To be honest, our company has studied the R&D model of Kyushu Automobile Company before.
There are also R&D personnel from Jiuzhou Automobile Factory on the Internet who have spoken in detail about how good the environment here is.
It's just that we tried this set for two months, but in the end we didn't develop even one hair, and we just wasted millions. "
"Our company also tried to imitate it, but it also wasted millions."
“Jiuzhou Automobile is very lucky to be able to collect these talents. I feel that the R&D personnel for each small project are very powerful.
From a small company just starting out, you can find an R&D team capable of developing top-notch lithium iron phosphate batteries.
Obviously there are not many people, but it has just been developed. Until now, there is no battery company that can reproduce Kyushu Motor's first-generation Hengxin battery.
Our company has recruited thousands of R&D teams over the years, but we have not found any particularly powerful R&D talents.
The entire company's R&D team feels inferior to the technical achievements achieved by a small R&D project team of dozens of people at Jiuzhou Automobile in just one or two years. "
"Jiuzhou Automobile has a large number of R&D personnel and the quality is very high."
"If there is an opportunity later, even if it costs a lot, we must recruit a Jiuzhou Automobile R&D team..."
While visiting the R&D department, these usually high-ranking company executives turned into lemon essences and coveted the R&D personnel of Kyushu Automobile in various positions.
But what they don't know is that what's really important about Kyushu Automobile is Xu Yifan, who is in charge of the entire company, and the super factory system he owns.
Even if the R&D team is really poached, Xu Yifan will at most feel a little sad about the loss of four-star or five-star talents.
Today is different from the past, with long hours of high-paying recruitment, and veteran employees who have worked for several years come forward to speak out.
Jiuzhou Automobile is now more attractive to R&D talents than any other company in China.
Although there are still very few four-star and five-star talents, they can no longer be counted with one hand. All the talents from all over the world are joining Kyushu Automobile Company!
As for those companies that poach people, if they want the poached R&D personnel to develop technological achievements equivalent to Kyushu Motors in a short period of time, without the system's domination charm, it is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Perhaps those poached R&D personnel, because of Kyushu Automobile’s successful R&D experience, can develop similar technical products given three to five years, ten to eight years.
But by that time, Kyushu Automobile had already developed more advanced technology based on the original technology.
Talents, whether they are important or not, are not important. Only in Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, with the blessing of the system tyrant, can we exert 300% of our capabilities.
