Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

"Chen Long, do you think the price of this car is really that high?" Hao Qiang frowned and looked at his secretary Chen Long.

Chen Long didn't expect the chairman to ask him, so he said embarrassedly: "Chairman, with my current income, I'm not yet able to afford a luxury car."

If the answer is too high, the chairman will be unhappy.

But if he said it was too low, the chairman would say he was hypocritical.

Oh, if you want to be around the chairman, you really need some emotional intelligence.

Hao Qiang smiled faintly and didn't embarrass him: "Well, go ahead and get busy."

The production capacity of the first phase is 20 vehicles, and the second phase is also 20 vehicles.

Not to mention the second phase, Hao Qiang feels that annual sales of 20 vehicles is too optimistic.

Before deciding on production, he mainly looked at the configuration of BBA, which was really hard to describe.

In addition, there are currently no new energy vehicles, and car companies have responded too slowly, especially state-owned enterprises and joint ventures.

Like in later generations, new energy vehicles have been sold for so many years, but foreign brands and joint venture car companies have not made any moves. Only when they can no longer bear it and are forced to do so will they try the new lane of new energy vehicles.

Therefore, even if the ES6 sells well in the future and the government issues policy subsidies, these foreign brands and joint venture car companies will not make much move to enter the new energy vehicle field, and their decision-making is not as efficient as that of private enterprises.

At present, only Future Technology Group and BYD Company are involved, as well as Tesla from abroad.

As for private enterprises, they are, firstly, waiting and watching, and secondly, they lack financial strength.

Without capital investment, you can't afford to play at all.

You know, the current national new energy vehicle subsidy requirements are too high and it is not so easy to cheat.

It can be said that the current situation does not create any competitive pressure for Future Technology Group.

Of course, there are few car companies entering this industry, so the development of lithium batteries is slow, and they can only operate and sell themselves.

The following month,

Hao Qiang is still traveling between Yuecheng and Shenzhen, working hard to solve the problem of future ES6 mass production.

At the same time, he took time out to develop high-end chip design software with his team.

This chip software is called "Future Chip EDA 1.0".

Designing high-end chip design software is a complex process that requires a lot of manpower and time investment.

Currently, the team has about one hundred people.

Core development team (software architects, algorithm engineers, development engineers): 50 people

Experts in professional fields (chip design experts, EDA experts, semiconductor process experts, physical design experts): 15 people

User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) teams, System Administration and DevOps teams, Quality Assurance (QA) teams, etc.

These one hundred people are all industry elites who have worked for many years.

The project was launched in November last year and we started recruiting people, and we are still recruiting.

In May, the team's organizational framework was finally completed, and it officially began to develop the future chip EDA 1.0.

Of course, Hao Qiang did a lot of work in the early stages and almost completed the software framework.

At night, he was still typing furiously, hoping to upgrade his writing system as soon as possible.

Han Qingying and Qiu Yuqing felt a little distressed when they saw him working so hard, and did not dare to disturb him too much.

Perhaps, the happiest time for Hao Qiang is when he lies on the bed and lets the two women massage him.

Time passed quickly and soon it was late July.

Early in the morning, Hao Qiang had breakfast, left the villa and headed to the Pengcheng factory.

When Han Qingying and Qiu Yuqing got up, they found that Hao Qiang was not at home.

The two women chatted while eating breakfast.

Han Qingying said with a hint of worry, "Sister Qiu, Brother Qiang has a hard time. He gets up early and goes to bed late. He stayed up until after one o'clock last night, and he probably got up around six in the morning."

"ES6 will be launched soon, and the market response is not very good at the moment, so it's normal for him to have some concerns.

After all, we've invested hundreds of billions of yuan. If sales aren't good, it will directly affect the future of the car." Qiu Yuqing sighed and rubbed her cheek. Watching Hao Qiang busy all day, she had smiled less recently.

But in front of Hao Qiang, she still tried to smile and try to make him less worried.

"Yes, new energy vehicles are not selling well, and automotive lithium batteries are also affected." Han Qingying said, "Automobiles and lithium batteries are the main businesses of Future Technology Group.

Alas, I can’t help you much.”

"I feel the same way, but this is normal. No matter how good we are, we can't compare to the professionals in the company." Qiu Yuqing said with a soothing smile, "Sister Qingying, in fact, if we can let Brother Qiang relax at home, that will be the best use of our time.

For Brother Qiang, as long as his family and internal affairs are stable, he has nothing to worry about."

"Yeah, that's true." Han Qingying nodded slightly and smiled.

After breakfast, the two of them tidied the house together.

Although I have a nanny, I still prefer to do some things myself.

……

Shencheng, joint venture Baoma Company.

Baoma Group and its Huafang partner each hold a 50% stake in the joint venture.

The actual management team is Huafang, and the chairman is Liu Tie, who has served as deputy mayor of a city and has a bachelor's degree in political economics.

In fact, many general managers or chairmen of state-owned enterprises are transferred horizontally from a certain department.

This type of managers are not as market sensitive as private enterprise bosses.

They mainly seek stability, not achievement, but avoidance of mistakes.

Of course, to be able to become a chairman, one must have certain abilities.

When Future Technology Group announced the future ES6, Liu Tie just read the news and held an internal meeting to discuss it.

The meetings and discussions are just routine meetings. They don't really want to get anything done. The main reason is that they are afraid of being held accountable later.

Then everyone expressed their opinions and said that they all disagreed with entering the new energy vehicle field.

"Recently, Future Technology Group announced that it would launch the ES6 in mid-August. The car is quite good, but the price is indeed a bit high.

Of course, we should learn from those who do well. ” Liu Tie said with a smile at the meeting.

What he meant was that he was not optimistic.

The senior people under him actually understood what he meant.

If Liu Tie emphasizes the need to enter the new energy vehicle field again and again, then he will most likely enter it.

However, the actions taken by state-owned enterprises are very inefficient, and no results are achieved within one or two years.

At present, the lowest-equipped joint venture Baoma 5 Series has a suggested retail price of 41.5 yuan, and the actual price is 46 yuan.

The suggested retail price for the mid-range model is 46.8 yuan, and the final price is 52 yuan.

As for the high-end version, it will cost at least 60 yuan.

In the future, ES6 will compete with the BMW 5 Series, and its pricing is expected to refer to the BMW 5 Series.

As for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, it is even more expensive.

In fact, if Future Technology Group announces the future configuration of ES6, its peers probably won’t be so calm.
