It’s spring in March, with continuous drizzle.
Chen Pingsheng, who didn’t have much to do in his spare time, took his big boy to the car show to look at cars.
The Shanghai Auto Show is home to the latest top-class cars from major brands.
The new energy super factory he built at a cost of 12 billion is expected to be completed in August this year.
In just one year, the speed of China's infrastructure construction madman is the first in the world, and that is not a deserved reputation.
After the super factory is completed, it will take another three to six months to complete recruitment, training, and debugging of various projects.
Tengfei New Energy can officially enter the mass production stage.
Of course, this time period also requires Tengfei New Energy to integrate major motors, electronic controls, batteries, and intelligent driving technologies.
The specific production time will probably be in the spring of 2018.
It took two years for his Tengfei new energy vehicle to truly achieve mass production.
Produced from PPT.
It’s just that the team is still discussing whether the first car will be an SUV family passenger car, or a coupe design that young people prefer.
In short, the design and positioning of the first car are very critical.
Since he had not made a specific decision yet, he simply came to the auto show to find inspiration.
What can I say about the 2017 auto show? The car models must be beautiful.
I don’t know who received a complaint, but the clothes of those car model girls are getting more and more cross-dressing.
Not dedicated at all.
In the past, it was only covered by two pieces of cloth. With those long legs, ABCDE, whoever has bigger breasts has the right to say.
What a pity, we can’t see it now.
The Shanghai Auto Show is held several times a year, and there are so many people at each show.
Big Fart Boy has two days off and is not allowed to hang out with his father.
"Dad, we already have so many cars at home, why are you here to buy a car?"
"Our family wants to build our own cars, so of course we come and take a look!"
There were a lot of people, so the first channel Chen Pingsheng watched was Land Rover.
This year Land Rover launched a new Range Rover Velar, which is a medium-sized SUV priced between 400,000 and 600,000.
Needless to say, the aura of the Range Rover Extended Edition among million-dollar luxury cars is unmatched.
The big G, including the Cayenne, is incomparable to the aura of the Range Rover.
The car model lady here is still a female college student. Although there are regulations that car models can no longer wear triangle poses, major car dealers will still try their best to let them show off their sexiness.
To gain more popularity.
This young lady is probably a school belle at school. Her butt-covering skirt is extremely short, revealing everything that should be exposed.
The aura of the Xingmai is completely incomparable to that of the Range Rover.
Chen Pingsheng still went to the young lady to directly buy two extended versions of the new Range Rover released this year.
All prices are available.
“Just send it to this address.”
He rarely drives the car with a landing price of more than two million.
All of them were used for dismantling research on Ascendas New Energy.
When he bought the car, he definitely didn’t need installments. After he finished buying it, Chen Anan was still saying, "Dad, does your mother know you spend so much money?"
"Your mother spends so much money. I don’t know about money either!”
Chen Anan said instinctively that she was frustrated that she couldn’t get any extra pocket money during the Chinese New Year this year.
This time I went out with my dad, so I had to try my best to buy two things that I also like.
In addition to Land Rover launching various new models, Lexus also launched the better-looking LS500.
The front grille of the new generation LS adopts the Lexus family spindle design, and the exterior design incorporates the exaggerated design language of the LF-FC concept car, which looks quite exaggerated.
19-inch tires are standard and 20-inch tires are available as an option. In addition, the new car also adopts a hollow rim structure to reduce tire noise.
This kind of century-old car company is still quite mature in terms of design. The Lexus LS500, which is worth a million dollars, has few rivals.
The only one in the same level that looks better than it is Pamela.
That's a classic car, everyone loves it.
Chen Pingsheng estimates that there will definitely be new energy manufacturers that will imitate Zotye in the future.
Customize your own OEM Panamera and produce a one-to-one imitation.
After all, the appearance of this car is really impressive.
He once again bought two Lexus.
Next door is Aston Martin, which is the dream of countless young men.
When you are young and drive a Martin, there is no need to worry about love.
Martin DB11 also launched a new car with a V12 engine this year.
The main feature of this British sports car is to be elegant and gentlemanly.
Seriously speaking, this car is really good-looking and he has owned it for a long time.
If Tengfei New Energy wants to produce a sports car, it can refer to its design.
The landing price is only 3.5 million, and he ordered two units at once.
Drive one by yourself and take the other to Tengfei Design Department for research.
When he buys a car now, he just buys whatever he likes. He always starts with two cars. His attitude of not being short of money makes the young girls nearby stunned.
Even Chen Anan said from the side, "Dad, you have successfully attracted their attention again!"
"If they pay attention, then let them pay attention."
Chen Pingsheng said: "Your father and I have invested so much money in building cars. I will definitely come to the auto shows in the future as long as I am free. ”
Okay... Chen Anan also chooses what she likes.
There are so many cars in the house that it is difficult for her to choose one she likes.
Ferrari also released a GT sports car, Portofino.
Compared with previous models, this car looks a bit like the Aston Martin we just saw.
The chassis is much higher, so you don’t have to worry about having to stop and grind slowly when encountering a pit.
Chen Pingsheng also bought two of different colors.
One for my wife and one for dismantling.
Now it’s better. The girls nearby are completely numb.
I have never seen someone buying a car like this before. It is just like picking out carrots and cabbage.
For Lao Chen now, buying a car worth millions is nothing more than carrots and cabbage.
You can pick clothes at will, and buy cars at will.
On January 16 this year, BMW launched the new M760LixDrive model.
M760Li is equipped with a 6.6LV12 engine with the same cylinder block as Rolls-Royce.
Although the power parameters are not exaggerated, it is the fastest accelerating BMW in history.
0-100km/h only takes 3.7 seconds.
It is also the only V12 sedan equipped with a four-wheel drive system.
BMW also pointed to this car to fight AMGS65.
The landing price is 3 million, and two BMWs will be sent home with one swipe of the small card.
In addition, he also bought three new Panamera models released this year. The model design of Panamera is said to never end.
The most beautiful coupe is no joke.
He would buy different car model designs and bring them to Tengfei Design Department to restore them one-to-one.
Only on this basis can we develop the first car model that is most suitable for taking off new energy.
Buying a car is not the goal, building a car is.
Big Fart Boy spent the whole morning shopping with him, choosing whatever he liked.
There is no one else with her eyesight, and she has no choice but to choose among all the luxury cars.
I actually fell in love with the new Mercedes-Benz smart.
A super small mini car sells for more than 200,000 yuan.
It would not be wrong to say that it is an IQ tax.
Those who drive a Mercedes-Benz E300 may not have money, but those who drive a Mercedes-Benz smart must have money.
Otherwise, this thing looks like an old man.
Who is stupid enough to spend hundreds of thousands to buy it?
Chen Pingsheng bought two cars for his daughter, one with a sky blue hardtop and one with an orange convertible.
Chen Anan always likes it, and feels like a big toy.
There is no need to study this kind of car, just put it in a corner.
......
After buying the car, Chen Pingsheng went to his Ascendas New Energy headquarters.
The ecological park has not yet been built, so we rented a 21-story headquarters building here in advance.
Although his investment in the field of new energy vehicles is already the highest in the country, it is compared to Tesla abroad.
Not to mention that the establishment time was ten years shorter, and the funding was far from enough.
He didn’t enter this industry just to compete with the big domestic companies that cheat and subsidize their products.
The goal must be global!
First there is the super factory, then there is the ecological park, plus eight major research institutes in the fields of motors, electronic control, and AI intelligence.
He is already covering the entire industry.
The key point was that the battery factory in Tengde's era was independently separated by him. In less than a year, he had invested more than 40 billion in research and development.
To date, the total investment has exceeded 65 billion.
Currently, the person in charge of the entire Tengfei New Energy establishment here is Yan Donghui, the former dean of the Sany Heavy Industry Research Institute.
The person responsible for component procurement is Zhang Qiming, the former president of BMW Group China.
As for the consumer business department, Xu Dong is in charge, and he focuses on the core research and development areas.
Former vice president of Huawei.
This is also the troika that makes up the top management of Tengfei New Energy.
Because he is from Huawei, Xu Dong attaches great importance to research and development, as anyone who has worked at Huawei knows very well.
Its products do not rely on price to win at all, the core is to create higher value.
That is, leading by core technology.
This can be said to be the same goal as the current Tengfei New Energy. Fortunately, Huawei has not yet entered the field of car manufacturing.
Otherwise, with its strength, it would definitely be able to crush 99% of its opponents.
Xu Dong also directly pointed out that what Tengfei New Energy currently lacks the most is R&D talents in artificial intelligence.
There is certainly no shortage of general domestic talents, but this kind of top-level R&D talent requires a large number of mathematicians and electronic engineers.
This area is still lacking.
Even though it is as powerful as Huawei, it is still in a state of babbling compared to foreign advanced technologies in the field of AI.
That was March 9 last year.
Alpha, the artificial intelligence program developed by Google, defeated the top Go player Lee Sedol of Kimchi Country.
Shocked the world.
Artificial intelligence then entered the public eye more broadly.
Many people may not understand what artificial intelligence is?
Let’s just say that artificial intelligence can eliminate 90% of the production workers on the assembly line in the future.
You have to know that starting from the Southern Speech in 1992, what really allowed China to develop rapidly was besides the opening up in terms of policies. The core reason is that we have the cheapest labor force in the world.
As well as the most diligent workers on the production line, they can work overtime day and night.
It is also because of this that China is able to step into the world.
Because of the high labor costs, major foreign manufacturers have turned to our side for OEM production.
This will solve the problem of large number of employment and income of grassroots workers.
This was also the investment promotion in that era.
Once artificial intelligence develops further, this advantage will be completely destroyed.
Large foreign manufacturers can directly use robots produced by artificial intelligence to replace production.
Just add artificial intelligence programs to it.
If it gets to that point, it means that foreign countries are likely to repatriate a large number of factories.
That is to say, moving back to your own country will lead to an unlimited increase in unemployment.
When assembly line production can be completely replaced by artificial intelligence, only a small amount of labor can complete the production volume of a Foxconn.
This will greatly change the situation of insufficient basic industrial chains in foreign countries.
In short, it is definitely not a good thing for the country.
And this is just one application scenario of artificial intelligence.
After all, we have more than a billion people who need to be employed and fed.
Once major foreign manufacturers carry out reshoring, it can be imagined.
More and more people are forced to join low-threshold industries such as food delivery.
This is the horror of artificial intelligence.
It is also an area that top companies such as Google, Apple, and Nvidia must compete for.
I don’t know how much money is spent on this every year.
It is still too late to start the research and development of artificial intelligence in China, and there is also a lack of such talents.
The core technology of new energy vehicles is driverless driving. Although it sounds simple, it requires continuous calculations based on a large number of models.
At this time, a lot of mathematics and top talents in electronic engineering are needed.
This kind of talent can only be recruited by going to top universities, otherwise it is necessary to go to other big factories to recruit people.
Everyone is short of top talents, and everyone is picky about ordinary talents.
It is difficult to enter a big factory after graduating from an ordinary university.
Educational qualifications are still very useful, of course, a high degree is required.
Ordinary universities, such as Tengfei New Energy, a top company with an investment of 60 to 70 billion, will basically not recruit any more.
According to Xu Dong, if you want to make a rapid breakthrough in artificial intelligence, there are only two ways.
One is to buy R&D teams abroad and directly acquire other people’s technologies that are not yet mature.
Establishing its own R&D center in place.
The second is to go to top universities to grab people, such as the famous University of Science and Technology of China, Huazhong Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, etc.
The top talents in a place like this will be robbed by big companies.
The core of future competition will still be the competition of talents.
After all, many top manufacturers are not short of money. At this time, it depends on who has a more far-reaching layout.
In addition to artificial intelligence, Ascendas New Energy still lacks some basic car-making technologies.
Including chassis adjustment, transmission and drive shaft, etc.
This is also the real reason why Chen Pingsheng wants to buy an established car company abroad. If the underlying foundation is not perfect, all intelligent driving will be like a castle in the air.
It’s flashy at first, and it can attract some people.
As time goes by, various problems will arise one after another.
This is also a common problem encountered in the domestic automobile market.
Even without the independent Tengde Times Battery Factory, Tengfei New Energy has more than 8,000 R&D personnel.
If you want to build a truly good car, you still have to spend more money.
There is another common way to save money, and that is OEM.
Directly hand over the complete vehicle production to domestic car companies for OEM.
After the car comes out, add a little artificial intelligence and put your own brand label on it.
First, there is no need to invest tens of billions in building a factory, and second, it does not require much research and development.
Chen Pingsheng himself doesn’t trust those OEMs anyway. The reason is very simple. They can’t produce any good cars themselves. Can you expect them to build good cars for you?
After thinking about it carefully, it is a necessary step to buy an established car company abroad.
Thoroughly improve the technology on Tengfei New Energy Infrastructure, and further upgrade this technology.
In addition, he also has to go to those top universities to grab people.
In addition to robbing people, establishing a research center abroad is also a necessary step.
After all, many people studying abroad are simply unwilling to return to work in China.
He didn’t even think about building a really good car.
An investment of more than 60 billion is not enough, at least nearly 100 billion is needed.
The money spent on research and development every year starts at 20 billion.
Perhaps only by persisting in this way for three to five years can we cultivate a new energy technology company that is somewhat capable.
The 7 to 8 billion US dollars in my pocket no longer smell good in an instant.
Not enough.
Chen Pingsheng returned to the Magic City headquarters. It seems that he will continue to make money, so that he can be qualified to establish a firm foothold in the technology world.
You must know that competition in the technology field is different from traditional industries. It means you have to face competition from the strongest opponents in the world.
Nothing can be careless.
He still has to find a way to solve the talent problem first. The headquarters in Magic City is getting busier and busier. There is no longer the idle work and fishing like before.
It is mainly a business under Tengying Group and has touched on the traditional areas of eating, drinking and entertainment.
There are countless investment projects.
Everyone was very busy during this process.
As of now, Tengying Entertainment is still the company with the highest market value in Tengying Group.
Under the influence of short dramas, variety shows, movies, TV series, investments, etc., the market value has reached 120 billion.
Even counting just his shares in Tengying Entertainment, his net worth is 60 billion.
Properly a first-tier rich man in China.
Zhang Wanyi also came back from Manhattan. She didn’t hire many employees there, maybe more than a hundred people.
Most of them focus exclusively on Wall Street and global developments.
Be sure to report major foreign events back home as soon as possible.
In addition to repurchasing the shares of Antler Coffee, the current goal of the Manhattan branch is to search for established car companies around the world that may be sold.
"Uncle Chen, March and April are spring recruitment in universities. Our group has been invited by 16 top universities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. This is the list and time."
Being able to be top The university invites students to join the school for spring recruitment, which itself also reflects the current core strength of Tengying Group.
Chen Pingsheng took a look, including Nortel, Shanghai Electric and other well-known art schools.
There are also top 211 universities such as Shanghai University, Zhejiang University, and Fudan University.
The recruitment data given by the Group’s Human Resources Department this year is to expand recruitment by 5,000 people.
Most of them will be allocated to enterprises such as Snacks Kuaipao and Dream Fund, which are about to IPO of Antler Coffee.
Tengfei New Energy’s recruitment plan is not included in this schedule.
Only the highest-level R&D talents are recruited there.
This requires going to the top scientific research university.
Even though the market value exceeds 100 billion, they still have not received invitations from the two universities in northern Qing Dynasty.
Chen Pingsheng said: "Just follow this plan. In addition, in addition to Chu Qiuyan, Yang Qian and Zhao Mingyu, the CEO of Snack Run, are also asked to go to the university to give a public recruitment speech.
"Also, make a group donation of 100 million to Chu Qiuyan's alma mater in her own name. ”
He picked up this girl Chu Qiuyan from a milk tea shop less than ten square meters.
Being the president of Bobo Milk Tea and the vice president of Lujiao Coffee, he has two jobs in one.
Financial freedom must have been achieved long ago, and she is still a representative of university entrepreneurship.
The inspirational goddess is also the flagship of their group.
“Uncle Chen, do you want to talk to Mr. Chu first?”
"No need, just treat it as a surprise. After success, repaying your alma mater is a good story no matter how you look at it, not to mention that she is still so young and has graduated less than two years ago."
Zhang Wanyi expressed her envy under her real name, This is the pinnacle of real life.
The bitterness of the first half of life has turned into the sweetness of the second half of life.
Chu Qiuyan joined Tengying Group and achieved a perfect class leap in less than three years.
Real winners in life.
Each branch of the group has responsible persons recruiting on campus, but Tengfei New Energy does not.
Chen Pingsheng touched his chin and logically said that Lao Yan, Xu Dong and the others were qualified enough.
Unfortunately, Tengfei is still a new technology company and has not even done any brand promotion.
If he wants to grab people from those top scientific research universities, it would be better for him to go there himself.
Tengying Group has formed its own unique operating system.
There are processes and standards to be implemented from top to bottom. The most important thing in the next five years is to make Tengfei New Energy successful.
Chen Pingsheng thought for a while and decided to go to the Research University by himself.
He was not familiar with other places, but he was familiar with Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan.
He asked Zhang Wanyi to arrange time and contact people in Wuhan to recruit people at Huake University in the name of Tengfei New Energy.
On Zhang Wanyi’s mobile phone, she has a high-end network of contacts related to the entire Tengying Group.
If the boss goes there in person, let alone 211 University of Science and Technology, he is qualified to give lectures in Qingbei.
The fastest-rising business tycoon in the past five years is no joke.
When I heard that my father was going to Wuhan, I immediately rushed there.
She was going too, Chen Pingsheng thought about it and decided to take her with him.
The main thing is that I want her to see the atmosphere of those top universities.
For people from the northern province, if their children can get into Huazhong Science and Technology in Wuhan, they will definitely have to pay homage to their ancestors' graves for three days in a row with loud gongs and drums.
Companies that can enter such universities for recruitment are all leaders in a certain field.
Seriously, Tengying Group already has a great reputation in China.
Not many people know about Tengfei New Energy. The only few news are about investment.
Chen Pingsheng is not planning to advertise domestically, he wants to be in the Premier League.
Then, Tengfei fully sponsors Leicester City to enhance its global reputation. Anyone who can become famous abroad will give people the psychological illusion of a high-end brand when they return to China.
The promotion direction for the next year will mainly be in the field of football.
For this reason, he wanted to bring in Ronaldo or Ding Ding no matter how much money the club spent.
To ensure that Leicester City can advance from the Premier League to the Champions League final.
When Ascendas New Energy has global visibility, it will definitely be much easier to recruit people.
He considered many aspects very deeply.
