Chapter 448: A Big Gambling
“Huh? These car models...why do they all look similar?”
After roughly looking through the car model introduction materials in his hand, Mr. Bao discovered another interesting point. .
The design drawings in my hand cover almost all types of car models, but no matter what type they are, they seem to have the same design style...
What is this?
Designers cutting corners?
“Haha!” Gao Yuan smiled but said nothing.
The so-called design, similar to Go, can be seen as a process of finding the "optimal solution" based on the "exhaustive method".
It’s just that Go gives various game rules, while car design gives various design requirements.
Such as low wind resistance, large space, comfort, cruising range, manufacturing cost, etc...
The key is that, except for a few technical secrets, all parts and assembly technologies in the current automobile manufacturing industry are almost completely open to the public.
Even those that are not open to the public, there are technical experts who will disassemble the parts on site and teach you how to play...
Zero + Internet = infinite possibilities!
The automobile industry has no secrets for ordinary people, let alone a super AI.
In universities, forums, articles, videos, and even equipment manufacturers’ own product promotion ppt...
For Zero, this ubiquitous "wealth of knowledge" is like a piece of "technical puzzle". When you collect them together, you can obtain the relevant "skill book".
Of course, the popularization of technology means an extremely low entry barrier to the industry, which has also led to some people engaged in real estate to say that they want to build a car...
As everyone knows, This thing is "easy to learn but difficult to master". Anyone can do it, but not everyone can do it well.
If you want to establish your own technical barriers, you must have your own unique technical advantages.
The establishment of a brand cannot be achieved by just burning money.
The vast majority of those who enter the game are ultimately nothing more than cannon fodder of the times, stepping stones for other people's monuments...
For Zero, car design is just a "building block game" of various parts.
Crawling public information on the Internet, it is not difficult for Zero to be an "end product assembly factory" like "Rice".
But...cost actuarial and industrial automation are its real strengths...
The world's most mature mobile phone industry chain has created the price-butcher "rice phone".
The world's most mature new energy vehicle industry chain is like the most fertile soil. Even if it is not an idol, it will eventually give birth to a highly cost-effective new energy vehicle company.
Of course, the ultimate price-performance ratio does not mean high-end. To be truly high-end, you need to inject a "soul"...
And this "soul", Meng Lang happens to have...
“In short , you don’t have to worry about the reliability of the technology. When you return, you will immediately form a team, implement the financing plan, and arrange for the construction of the new production line. As for the location of the new production line..."
Gao Yuan paused and looked at it. Hu Yifei smiled with an expectant look on his face.
"Let's put it in Su City. Mr. Bao will be responsible for the specific construction. In addition to other preliminary preparations, Mr. Hu will be fully responsible for it."
Hu Yifei looked happy when he heard this.
This is another large-scale investment worth billions, and it is also an automotive industry that is an industrial conglomerate. It requires countless supporting industries.
Whether it is stimulating the local economy or increasing employment, it will undoubtedly have a considerable promoting effect.
This is why many provinces have to bite the bullet and introduce automobile manufacturers even if they lose money.
Gao Yuan chose the location of the new production line in Su City and asked him to be the person in charge of the preparations...
It was almost as if she had to tell him directly...
Hey! When political achievements come, let your family member take care of them!
“Don’t worry, Director Gao, I guarantee that I will get a lot of the financing and preferential policies for him!” Hu Yifei patted his chest.
“Haha!”
Gao Yuan had already seen Hu Yifei's public relations skills. She had no doubt about it just by looking at the speed of the green light coming out of Bai Yeji Computing Center.
This means that there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do things with.
Many people have broken their legs while running, but it is not as good as a casual word from someone in the right position.
Having Hu Yifei here can be called an accelerator of project progress...
"Uh..."
Seeing that the two of them had settled the matter in just a few words, Mr. Bao was confused.
The 3 billion yuan is still not there yet, but the site selection and construction have already been arranged?
This is a huge bet on the entire idol car. Don’t we need to take it seriously, such as holding a shareholders’ meeting and setting up a think tank to discuss this matter?
Investment is risky, so be cautious when entering the market!
With such a large-scale investment, the scale of the Suzhou factory will even exceed the entire current production base of Aidou...
People set up new production lines to increase production capacity, but are they directly aiming to "double production capacity"?
Isn’t it too radical?
“Well... Director Gao, even if we want to develop markets other than mini-cars, shouldn’t we first target a market segment and reduce some investment scale.
Wait for this market segment Now that we have established a foothold, it’s not too late to expand the production scale. Is it too risky to fully expand the product line?”
"Adventure? Without taking risks, how could we have the current industrial scale?"
"Uh..." Mr. Bao was speechless.
Now he finally understands how these two people were able to swallow up his company like a snake...
People don’t let go of the rabbit before they see it, you are like this It's the first time I see rabbit allin...
This gambling and execution ability... I can't accept it...
Gao Yuan smiled slightly.
“You don’t have to worry about investment risks, we have the strongest risk control team, very professional!
You only need to think about how to make the best of this project now, the group The positioning of Idol Auto is by no means just a car manufacturer in a certain segment..."
It is not a car manufacturer in a certain segment...
Then we should What is the positioning?
Looking at the confused Mr. Bao, Hu Yifei seemed to see himself not long ago.
Once upon a time, I was the same, thinking that short-term success was already the pinnacle of life.
At that time, Mr. Meng was still a piece of cake... Oh no, it was a piece of good advice that allowed me to find the direction of my life again and opened the door to a new world...
He couldn't help but smile and patted Mr. Bao on the shoulder, sighing in the tone of a veteran.
"Old Bao! Don't be afraid to think about it. Look at those BATs. Will they say that their main business is a certain segmented field?"
Mr. Bao was stunned.
Of course not, they are developing in all fields and pervasively!
"Haha! So, princes, generals, and ministers, would you rather be kind? Why can they do it, but you can't?
We might as well set a small goal first, and start from becoming a new energy source. The BAT in the automotive industry begins!"
"Uh..."
BAT in the new energy vehicle industry?
BYA, Tesla... and my idol?
Hiss~ Is this cake too big...
But why is your heart beating a little too fast?
……
It is no coincidence that we are discussing investment in new production lines here.
Another giant in the new energy vehicle industry also made a shocking "gamble" in a non-public manner somewhere in Shanghai, only a hundred kilometers away!
“Modu sold 860,000 square meters of industrial land to Tesla at 1/10 of the market price.
And gave Tesla a loan with an annual interest rate as low as 3.9% , the loan amount is 4 billion RMB.
Starting from 2023, Tesla will pay taxes of at least 2.23 billion RMB to the city. If it cannot be completed, the city has the right to take back all the land sold.
Moreover, Tesla will continue to invest 14.08 billion RMB in capital in the Magic City factory in the next five years.
Finally, all parts of the Tesla factory must be domestically produced...
Both parties please confirm the terms of the agreement. If there are no problems, please sign the contract formally. ”
On one side of the long table, a foreign man wearing a jacket and dressed very casually nodded, and even showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Then he brushed his face, with a look of honey on his face. Confidently signed his name on the agreement——
"Musk Elon!"
Neither party knows yet at this time.
These two "big bets" finalized in two adjacent metropolises are destined to have only one winner... (End of Chapter)
