Time flies and it's two days later.
In the new chairman's office, Xu Yifan and a group of senior executives of Jiuzhou Automobile were making a report on the company's work status once every few days.
In the office, there was fragrant tea on a large round table. Except for Xu Yifan, who sat at the head, the remaining seven CEOs of Jiuzhou Technology Subsidiaries found their own empty seats and sat down in the order of arrival.
The several company presidents who arrived first were standing outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the office, chatting with several colleagues around them.
"I still remember that when I arrived here the year before last, the size of our factory was only less than one-tenth of what it is now. We have been constantly expanding and expanding, and now we have all moved into the company's new office building."
"It's developing so fast, and now we have more and more people attending meetings."
"Isn't it bad to have too many people? The excitement proves that our Jiuzhou Technology Company is developing well!"
"Wei Xiangyang and the others came so slowly. I met them in the cafeteria just now. They must have been peeking at another beautiful female employee!"
“The new office is spacious and can even accommodate a conference table that can seat more than a dozen people for meetings!”
After talking and laughing for a while, all the people attending the meeting arrived.
Xu Yifan sat on the main seat and said, "Let's start this week's work report."
The faces of the CEOs no longer looked as relaxed as when they were talking and laughing, and became much more serious.
The first person to report on the work was Deng Yingzhuo from Kyushu Motors: "As for Kyushu Motors, the sales volume last week has been released. A total of 12,000 Kyushu Motors of various models were sold, with sales reaching 6.2 billion yuan. "
"At the same time, Jiuzhou Auto's reputation is now within a certain range, especially on the Internet. The reputation has firmly suppressed those traditional luxury cars, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, etc."
"And the sales volume of our products has been steadily increasing. It is expected that this month's sales data will be 30% more than last month."
"As long as it continues to develop like this, Kyushu Auto will be able to gain a firm foothold in the luxury car field, replace the previous luxury brands, and become the first choice for capable consumers to buy cars."
Such sales performance results are already the best among the second-tier luxury brands except BBA.
To achieve such results, it took Jiuzhou Automobile just one year to go from the launch of automobile products to the hot sales of the products.
Maybe there are some twists and turns, and Kyushu Automobile has also made a lot of efforts.
But in terms of time, it was still very, very fast.
After listening to Deng Yingzhuo's report, Xu Yifan nodded and said with a smile: "Keep it up, I hope to hear news about a large number of price cuts and promotions for Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi in China next year, preferably to hundreds of thousands and our Huaxia Car sales!
At the same time, I heard that their production bases are also preparing to be sold. Well, maybe we can consider taking over some of them to make up for the production capacity problems that China Automobile may encounter by then. "
Xu Yifan made a small prediction.
After Jiuzhou Automobile finished its report, next was Yao Yuan, President of China Automobile, sitting next to Jiuzhou Automobile.
Looking at the sales data of Huaxia Automobile in his hand, Yao Yuan said calmly: "As for Huaxia Automobile, a total of more than 33,000 Huaxia Automobile units of various models were sold in the past week, which is higher than last month. Sales data increased by 50% year-on-year, with total sales reaching 5.2 billion yuan."
"It is expected that this sales data will continue. This month's sales of Huaxia cars will exceed 150,000 units, and total sales will break through a new high and reach 26 billion!"
"Today, Huaxia Automobile's sales data are comparable to those of the major competing joint venture brands, and this week's product sales briefly surpassed Buick, Chevrolet and other models..."
Compared with the more expensive Jiuzhou Auto, Huaxia Auto is the choice of more ordinary consumers. The price range is from 100,000 yuan to more than 200,000 yuan. This is also the main competition area for major car brands.
Huaxia Automobile's current sales data are far higher than those of domestically produced cars, and it has the ability to compete with joint venture brands.
And as word of mouth continues to ferment, this sales data will only get better and better.
The automobile industry can become the backbone of a country's economy, and its ability to make money cannot be underestimated. This is just the beginning, and Kyushu Automobile has not yet reached the number one position in domestic product sales.
As product technology continues to be updated later, reputation and quality will be recognized by more consumers, the profits that can be earned, and the number of products that can be sold will only increase!
After briefly reporting the sales data, Yao Yuan continued: "Huaxia Automobile's 4S stores have negotiated cooperation agreements with dealers in various cities across the country. It is expected that in about three months, Huaxia Automobile's own 4S stores will It will be launched in various cities across the country.”
The high-end brand Jiuzhou Motors still needs to make a product segmentation with Huaxia Motors to distinguish it from the previous Jiuzhou low-speed electric vehicles.
The confusion in the early days is understandable. After all, Jiuzhou Automobile's development is too rapid, and it is impossible to do all related work perfectly at once.
However, now that there is a lot of money, Jiuzhou Automobile and Huaxia Automobile are no longer unknown small car companies. There are many dealers willing to cooperate, and the bidding work will be very simple when building.
Generally speaking, Huaxia Automobile is still making steady progress, and this progress is very fast. It is expected to appear on the sales list of Huaxia domestic car brands this year, stepping on Japanese and Korean cars.
Xu Yifan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Just like Kyushu Motors, Huaxia Motors will strive to become the best-selling domestic mid-range car brand within one to two years."
Then he said to several company presidents: "At the same time, we must also be prepared to export from home and abroad, whether it is cooperation with established car companies or selling to some countries that do not have their own automobile industry, try our best Increase product sales.”
After Huaxia Automobile, it was Zhu Jinyang, the president of Five-Star Automobile: "As for Five-star Automobile, the sales data last week was 5,000 units, the average price of a single car was 600,000, and the total sales were 3 billion..."
In fact, Five Star Motors should also have a more eye-catching sales data. There is a strong demand for new energy electric vehicles in various domestic cities. In this regard, Five Star Motors can already be said to be the leading company in new energy electric commercial vehicles.
The main reason for restricting product sales is the lack of product production capacity and the inability to satisfy the huge market.
Even Jiuzhou Technology has made predictions before, and officials have also reminded that they will purchase a batch of commercial buses and spend a lot of money on expanding production.
But for China Commercial Vehicles as a whole, Jiuzhou Technology's efforts still seem to be a drop in the bucket.
Time is too short, and the funds were not as abundant as they are now, allowing for unbridled expansion. There will always be a little regret left.
However, it is not impossible to make up for this aspect. Whether it is OEM production or expanding production yourself, as long as you have money, everything is not a problem!
"In terms of production capacity, Five Star Motors is actively signing product OEM agreements with Nanjun Motors in Ziyang City and Dongfang Commercial Vehicles in Chengdu. With the concerted efforts of all parties, a preliminary agreement has been reached. After completing the OEM, The production capacity is expected to reach 20,000 units per month.”
"At the same time, contact with dealers in various cities is also in progress. It is expected that there will be a result in the next two to three months."
It is slightly different from China Automobile. Since most of today's five-star car sales are purchased by domestic bus companies or city development planning departments, the orders are in batches and can temporarily bypass dealers without going too far. Eager to build a dealer system.
But we also need to be prepared to enter the consumer market after meeting special orders for buses, commercial vehicles, fire trucks and the like in the future. It is also necessary to plan and build a dealer network system and an after-sales service system step by step.
After the five-star car, there was a middle-aged man under the small conference round table, Liu Junhong, a senior manager from Dongfang Electric Power Company. He stood up and reported: "Dongfang Electric Power Company received a total of 70,000 battery packs last week. Usage fees, revenue of 3.5 billion yuan, and electricity turnover of 5.3 million yuan."
“In terms of the construction of charging and swapping stations, the funds received and the official auxiliary funds will be invested in the construction of new charging stations and battery swapping stations.
At present, the construction of charging and swapping stations has been completed in more than 230 cities. Last week, a total of 36 charging and swapping stations were built in 16 cities, and next week there will be 20 cities. The construction goal of charging and swapping stations.
It is expected that by the end of this year, the construction goal of charging and swapping stations will be completed in cities of all sizes across the country, and small counties will also have a small battery swapping station for the use of new energy trams. "
The rapid construction speed is due to Jiuzhou Motors' charging and swapping station construction technology, battery storage vehicles and semi-automatic battery swapping equipment. All this can be accomplished with a small sum of money.
If charging stations are built nationwide, power grid routes are transformed, laid in various areas of the city, and a large number of charging piles are built, the construction speed and investment will be more than the current charging and swapping stations, and the speed of completion and putting into use will be It will also be slower.
Dongfang Electric Power Company is a relatively special existence among the many subsidiaries of Jiuzhou Technology. Its main purpose is not to make money, and there is also a small half of official investment.
As more and more domestic car companies begin to manufacture new energy electric vehicles, each unit sold needs to pay a battery pack usage fee, which is equivalent to all domestic new energy electric vehicles. All consumers who use new energy electric vehicles will Contributing to the construction of new energy trams.
Of course, Jiuzhou Technology can actually make a good profit from Hengxin Battery Factory. Dongfang Electric Power Company purchases battery packs from Hengxin Battery Factory. Jiuzhou Technology can make a small amount of money from it, which is not too much. income.
Xu Yifan still highly recognizes the work of Dongfang Electric Power and the talents selected by the officials.
"As for Dongfang Electric Power Company, according to the established plan, while we are about to complete the construction of domestic power swap stations, we can also turn our attention to the international market and allow some interested countries to come to us for inspection.
Look at this energy source that is different from fuel. The batteries of our Hengxin Battery Factory are safe and can balance peak and valley electricity and other functions. "
"Of course, in this regard, many require instructions from superiors. I will not do more guidance and planning. You can just work according to the instructions of superiors."
In terms of energy, it can affect the nerves of big countries. In the past, oil and natural gas could trigger wars.
In this regard, Xu Yifan can provide technology, but if Kyushu Motors wants to enter the game, it is still a little too early, so it can just let Dongfang Electric Power Company develop on its own.
The president from Dongfang Electric Power Company replied seriously: "I understand. I will report and communicate with my superiors on this aspect. After completing the construction of domestic charging and swapping stations, I will report to you again on how Dongfang Electric Power Company will develop."
After Dongfang Electric Power, it is Jiuyuan Electric Vehicle. This electric vehicle company does not seem to be very profitable now, but it once provided continuous financial support for the development of Jiuzhou Auto.
Wei Xiangyang, President of Jiuyuan Electric Vehicle: "Jiuyuan Electric Vehicle is working normally. Last week, it sold 210,000 two-wheeled electric vehicles, with total sales of 600 million yuan..."
Today's Jiuyuan Electric Vehicles have completely established a foothold in the field of two-wheeled electric vehicles. With the advantages of batteries, it has defeated brands such as Yadi Emma, and has not even allowed these brands to have two-wheeled electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are like the opportunity to become a well-known domestic brand in the future.
When local electric vehicles are fighting in various regions, Jiuyuan Electric Vehicles suppresses all these electric vehicle companies in the local area, making it difficult for even the province to go out!
In the field of domestic two-wheeled electric vehicles, Jiuyuan Electric Vehicles is already the undisputed leading company.
Behind Wei Xiangyang was Ji Shenghai, the CEO of Jiuzhou Low-Speed Electric Vehicle, sitting next to him.
Ji Shenghai: "Jiuzhou low-speed electric vehicles sold 12,000 units this month, with a total sales of 500 million yuan. Compared with the sales data of the previous two months, product sales have rebounded significantly."
"This is the first sales growth since the low-speed electric vehicle market gradually reached saturation at the end of last year."
“The reason may be that the emergence of Kyushu Automobile and Huaxia Automobile has attracted some consumers who recognize the Kyushu Automobile brand.
According to reports from business personnel, 50% of the consumers are young people between the ages of 20 and 60. . . . . "
As a means of transportation, in fact, the low-speed electric vehicles produced by Kyushu Motors are completely sufficient in cities.
Moreover, these products have also been tested by the market, making them more reliable to use.
There are always some consumers who don't care about the vehicle's power performance or comfort performance. Their needs are just for daily transportation.
Kyushu Automobile's cheaper and more durable Laotoule is very suitable for everyone's needs, and it has even become inexplicably popular among a small group of young people!
Regarding this inexplicable sales volume, Xu Yifan was not sure what to say besides being surprised. After a moment of silence, he said: "Well done, next one!"
The next person is the last company president to report today, Feng Hao, president of Hengxin Battery Factory.
However, the report was slightly different from the other CEOs who had smiles on their faces and looked very relaxed.
Feng Hao looked serious: "Mr. Xu, all production and sales of Hengxin batteries this month have greatly improved compared to the same period last month. Last week's product sales reached 120,000 sets of automotive lithium iron phosphate Battery packs, other two-wheeler electric vehicle batteries, etc. also have good sales data.”
"It's just that in terms of battery production recently, as the international lithium ore prices have increased abnormally this week, if this continues, the prices of the batteries we produce will either increase, or the profits will be greatly reduced, and we may even lose money."
"With our lithium ore raw material reserves, even with the full support of domestic lithium ore resources, there is still a large gap, and raw materials need to be purchased from internationally."
Are international lithium ore prices rising abnormally? !
Nowadays, Jiuzhou Motors and domestic new energy electric vehicles are developing rapidly, which is inseparable from the continuous expansion of production support of Hengxin Battery Factory and the continuous advancement of battery technology.
Xu Yifan can figure out the specific reasons behind this incident with just his toes. It must be inseparable from the big international car companies. It is not easy to communicate with them!
Nowadays, the strong rise of Kyushu Automobile will naturally cause a certain degree of damage to the interests of the old established car companies, and may even cause them to lose this huge international automobile consumer market, which is now performing better and better.
In the past, they could ignore this small Chinese car company. After the emergence of Kyushu Suzaku, they paid more attention to it, but they did not think it would change the structure of the world's automobile industry in a short period of time.
Nowadays, Jiuzhou Automobile continues to launch new products, and Huaxia Automobile is seizing the market and truly becoming competitors with those big car companies, which makes them have to pay attention.
After a little research, it is difficult to have a huge impact on Kyushu Automobile, which currently has a local umbrella, from a technical perspective, product sales, etc.
Then naturally, they will focus on the important product technology that this company relies on for its livelihood. It is not the powerful-looking products such as Suzaku Motor or Kyushu Automobile, but Hengxin Battery!
It has to be said that the battery can be said to be a crucial magic weapon for the development of Kyushu Automobile today.
Without excellent, easy-to-use, cheap and safe batteries, the development of Kyushu Auto would be at least several times slower.
The abnormal rise in international lithium ore prices will be a huge blow to Hengxin Battery Factory, which has extremely high demand for lithium ore resources.
That is, for lithium iron phosphate batteries, except for lithium ore resources, other materials are relatively easy to obtain. Otherwise, Xu Yifan believes that the prices of other raw materials will also increase together.
From this, a group of masterminds behind the increase in lithium ore prices will naturally become rich. The slowdown in the development of Kyushu Automobile and the impact on its products will also benefit those car companies in the same automotive industry!
The problems encountered by Hengxin Battery Factory made several company presidents present frowned. Our company's business depends on Hengxin batteries that are cheap, safe and stable in quality.
New energy trams, Dongfang Electric Power Company, and even Jiuyuan electric vehicles and Jiuzhou low-speed electric vehicles.
Without the support of Hengxin Battery, the current prosperous technological development of Jiuzhou will fall into huge turmoil in a short period of time.
Even with official support, it is difficult to escape unscathed.
It is not possible to go bankrupt directly. After all, it is impossible for domestic officials to watch such an excellent company have problems like this, but it is inevitable to suffer injuries.
