Chapter 313 Take Teshila's way, leaving Teshila nowhere to go!
"In Shanghai, have you talked to Tang Xiang?"

Zhang Shuo took advantage of the opportunity to chat with Lu Kai about Mango Automobile, which is also one of the key businesses of the group in the future.

"Two times."

Lu Kai said with a smile: "Tang Xiang is a bit blind now, and is using all the connections he has accumulated in the automotive industry to frantically recruit people. He plans to form an initial team of dozens of people."

Tang Xiang undoubtedly understands management.

We know that even a R&D team of 1000 people needs a competent management team as support, so we first dig out management talents and technical masters.

Subsequent work will proceed smoothly.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to set up a team of 1000 people with his own strength.

"Tang Xiang is still good." Zhang Shuo also gave a pertinent evaluation, "The group should also intervene in time to provide Mango Auto with manpower, material resources, financial resources and other aspects of assistance."

It is impossible to say that Tang Xiang started the Mango Car from scratch.

They might as well start their own businesses.

"Talk to Director Wu. In addition to cooperating with Mango Auto's recruitment, the group's human resources must also quickly deploy human resources, finance, accounting, administration, legal and other functional talents from the headquarters and other subsidiaries to go to Shanghai to support , and set up the structure of Mango Auto as soon as possible."

"understand!"

Lu Kai also understood.

The group headquarters coordinates the establishment of the functional department of Mango Auto. It can be said to be support, but it is actually a necessary means for the group to strengthen the control of Mango Auto.

For one thing, Tang Xiang is not an executive who grew up in the budding system.

Erze Mango Auto is headquartered in Shanghai, far away from the headquarters of Germination.

If Mango Auto is not controlled and supervised at the initial stage, problems of one kind or another will inevitably arise in the future, and it is not all good for Tang Xiang himself.

And this kind of deployment itself is also activating the enthusiasm of the middle management of the budding department.

Because every time the Germination Group adds a first-level subsidiary, it means that a large number of M1 to M4 management positions will be added, giving many people the opportunity to be promoted and raise their salaries.

Those who can be selected to be transferred to the new company will basically be promoted by half a level to the first level.

For example, promoted from the deputy manager of the department to the department manager.

What's more, it is indeed an extremely rare promotion opportunity for the Germination Group to activate the two first-level subsidiaries of Mango Automobile and Inaosemi Semiconductor in a short period of time.

As for the transfer of these old people, there will be new people joining in July.

In this way, a positive cycle of talent echelon training is formed.

This kind of positive cycle will basically only appear in companies that are still in a period of rapid expansion like Germina. Once the company enters a period of steady development from the expansion period, the personnel structure will gradually solidify.

At the same time, it is also the beginning of involution and infighting.

"In addition, didn't the Investment and Acquisition Department make a research report on the electric vehicle industry before? Hurry up and narrow down the scope of the target companies listed in the report. If Mango Auto wants to take off, it only relies on sporadic poaching It’s definitely not going to work, and we still need to spend a lot of money to acquire some unicorn companies or scientific research institutes that have mastered the patented technologies related to the R&D and design of electric vehicles, in order to get the R&D of Mango cars on the right track in the shortest possible time.”

Time is running out, and Zhang Shuo can't wait to really start from scratch.

The acquisition still has to be acquired.

"It's best to come up with a detailed merger and acquisition plan before the regular strategy meeting at the end of the month. The theme of this month's regular meeting is the development plan of Mango Automobile."

"Isn't it a bit rushed on time? It's the May Day holiday soon."

Lu Kai was in a bit of a dilemma. Today is the 25th. According to the usual practice, a strategic meeting should be held in the next two or three days, because the May Day holiday will begin on the 30th.

"Then set it on May 5, which is the first day after the May Day holiday ends."

Zhang Shuo forgot about May Day.

Speaking of it, this May Day holiday is really a pain in the ass. It is said that it is a small three-day holiday. Not to mention that it takes up a Sunday, and it is also a day off. It is basically a waste of time.

It's no different than a normal weekend.

The May Day holiday in 2022 was extended to five days, but two weekends were abruptly ruined. In fact, it was still a day off, which caused countless social animals to complain.

Except for those who write online articles.

Because for online novel authors, holidays are something magical, and they don't exist at all, okay?
Year-round.
"it is good!"

Although the time is still a bit tight, Lu Kai can no longer shirk it, the worst is to work overtime on May Day.

The workers are hammered.

.........

At school the next day, Tang Yu also talked about the May Day holiday, and said pitifully, "Third brother, this is my last holiday before work, don't you want to sponsor me?"

"How do you want me to sponsor?"

"How about taking us on a trip abroad? I haven't been abroad yet."

"It's fine to go abroad, but Meiya can consider it." Zhang Shuo doesn't dare to go overseas casually now, who knows what uncertain troubles he will encounter, it's better to do it alone.

"Ah~~~"

Tang Yu was a little reluctant, "Going to Meiya on May [-]st, isn't that going to make dumplings? It's boring."

It’s no wonder that everyone wants to go abroad during the holidays. In fact, domestic tourist attractions are neither cheap nor friendly to the people. It is possible that the money is spent, but the happiness is not obtained, and the depression and exhaustion are received.

It's the kind of crime that is paid for.

Especially during holidays, it is even more crowded when you go to popular attractions.

Very boring.

It is not surprising that ten years later, young people would rather stay at home and lie flat than go out during the holidays.

They all suffered.

"Then don't worry, I'll make sure you have fun, and I'll arrange it." Zhang Shuo smiled.

"Okay!"

The third brother said so, but Tang Yu was looking forward to it.

On the 30th, they packed their luggage and took Gu Xiaoxi, Murong Yan, and Li Ling to America and Asia together, but Zhang Shuo accidentally brought two people with him—Xu Jia and Lin Weiwei.

Needless to say.

I was also worried about where to go during the holidays, so I got on the thief boat together.

After getting off the plane, the Qiongzhou branch arranged a car and sent it straight to a large single-family villa overseas.

The modern-style villa is nestled among the green mountains and green waters. It not only has a private courtyard covering an area of ​​more than [-] square meters, a private swimming pool, and even an open private beach.

The periphery is covered by tall coconut trees to meet the privacy needs of the villa owner.

"Waka, third brother, you are awesome. You can rent such a good villa." Tang Yu also gained knowledge. It stands to reason that this kind of holiday villa was fully booked half a year ago during the May Day holiday.

Don't doubt the number of rich people in the country.

If the wealth reaches a certain amount, even if it is a holiday, you can actually have a good time, just like the villa in front of you, which has its own beach, so you don't need to be crowded with other people at all.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Zhang Shuo was very calm, "I bought this villa, so there is no need to make an appointment in advance."

It was the Spring Festival when Zhang Shuo and Chen Lu went to Meiya to play. Zhang Shuo realized that he needed to find a resort where he could come out and relax at any time, so he asked Chen Lu to look at the house.

He is also the first time here.

"Ting!!!"

It's not just Tang Yu, but everyone else is also relieved.

Big brother.

Do you want to be like Versailles?
In terms of the location and area of ​​the villa, it is a small goal to start with, but considering Zhang Shuo's wealth, it seems very reasonable.

"Third brother, you are still a cow!!!"

Tang Yu was completely convinced now, and rushed into the villa to choose a room with great joy.

The girls also laughed.

In the next three days, I had a lot of fun, barbecue parties, pool parties, beach parties, pillow fights, surfing, I played everything I could.

"It would be great if I had a yacht. I also want to go fishing." Tang Yuxin also played wild.

"Hehe, there is really no such thing."

It's not that Zhang Shuo can't afford a private yacht, but it's unnecessary now, and he can't use it twice a year, but he has to arrange special maintenance and maintain a group of employees, which is pure nonsense.

If you really want to go out to sea, just rent a yacht.

However, after retirement, Zhang Shuo may consider spending huge sums of money to customize a super private yacht and take his family to travel around the world.

.........

Wednesday, April 5.

After returning from vacation, the first thing Zhang Shuo did when he returned to the company was to sign a new grant application.

Appropriate 8 million special research and development funds to Maili Group;
Allocate 5 billion research and development funds to the Fertile Research Institute;
1 million start-up capital allocated to Mango Auto;
Appropriate 2 million operating funds to Inaho Semiconductor;
Appropriate 8 million project funds to Mengya Real Estate, including 2 million special construction funds for the southern Sichuan data center.

All of them add up to a special allocation of 24 billion, which is a substantial reduction compared to last month.

corresponding.

The main income in April was the 12.2 billion profit handed over by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.

Compared with March, the profit of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has increased by another 1.2 million. In addition to benefiting from the launch of the new mobile game "Wangxian", it is mainly due to the explosion of the smartphone market.

Just the consumption of new users every month makes Jade Bird Huyu earn a lot of money.

Especially ace mobile games such as "Xiao Xiao Le", "Candy Crush", and "Clash of Clans" are full of vitality. Even if it has been online for a year, the monthly turnover is still in a period of high outbreak.

Future profits will be even more terrifying.

According to this trend, it is a certainty that the monthly profit of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will exceed 20 billion this year, and it can even move towards the new goal of 25 billion.

--slightly--

[Level]: Level 10 (138 million/5000 million)
[Cash]: 55 billion

[Loans]: 123.4 billion (bank loans) + 10 billion (corporate bonds)
--slightly--

In addition to the profits handed in by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, in April, 2.8 million new bank loans and 5 million corporate bonds were added. The former is mortgaged by the land of the data center in southern Sichuan.

However, due to the acquisition of Zhanxun, the funds in Mengya's account shrank by 10 billion in one fell swoop.

"Money is too much to spend!"

Zhang Shuo has been paying attention to maintaining the cash flow of the group, but he still spends money like water.

Considering the planned acquisition of RDA in the second half of the year and the financial support required by Mango Automobile, this amount of funds in the account is definitely not enough and will be squeezed out soon.

"We still have to find a way to continue making money."

Without much hesitation, Zhang Shuo put his idea on the overseas account of Dream Fund, and decided to allocate one billion US dollars to Sunshine Holdings to convert into five-year corporate bonds, and then support the rapid development of Germination.

Anyway, Zhang Shuo has no time to take care of overseas acquisitions.

Right now, the Dream Fund's main overseas business is to continue to absorb U.S. stocks, and there is a support fund of US$2 million per month. If it spends US$[-] billion, it will not have much impact on the Dream Fund.

in contrast.

This one billion dollar corporate bond can greatly improve Germinal's cash flow, allowing Germinal's liquidity to reach the [-] billion mark again, and it is possible to calmly plan follow-up actions.

It won't be the same as at the end of last year.

.........

After processing the appropriation application, Zhang Shuo immediately organized a monthly strategic meeting.

It was the first time for Luo Jie and Tang Xiang to attend the meeting.

Although Luo Jie was only appointed as the executive deputy general manager of Inahoe Semiconductor, he was pulled into the Development and Strategy Committee by Zhang Shuo because he was in charge of the daily work of Inao Semiconductor.

It is also convenient to discuss issues related to rice ear semiconductors.

Tang Xiang was the first to speak, briefly introducing the preparations of Mango Auto, "Mango Auto has completed the local registration and filing work in Shanghai, and the office area is located in Mango Building in Shanghai.

"Up to now, including the functional departments, seven departments have been established successively, with a total of 53 people working in office, and more than 250 people are going through the resignation procedures of the original unit."

have to say.

Tang Xiang's connections in the auto industry are really good, and he has built a team in a short period of time.

"In the next stage, Mango Auto's main tasks include car logo design and bidding, electric vehicle-related patent search and patent authorization, preparations for the establishment of R&D and design departments, and determination of Mango Auto's model, etc."

It can be said that there are thousands of thoughts.

In terms of technological complexity, electric vehicles are not inferior to smartphones at all.

Even more than that.

Apple has more than [-] suppliers, and Tesla has more than [-] suppliers. The difference is that the supplier system of the automotive industry is more complete and complete.

Especially in Shanghai, there is a mature supplier system.

The main business of Mango Auto is R&D and design, as well as the complete vehicle manufacturing of Mango Auto.

More than [-]% of the components will come from suppliers.

This is why the original space-time Wei Xiaoli was able to grow rapidly. It is because of the mature supply chain system of the domestic auto industry that he can find any necessary spare parts as long as he makes a design plan.

The principle of making a car is the same as making a mobile phone.

The structure of electric vehicles is basically the same as that of fuel vehicles, including power supply and battery management system, powertrain and drive system, body, chassis and interior and exterior trim.

Based on this, electric vehicles have three core technologies, namely batteries, motors and electronic control.

As the "heart" of electric vehicles, power batteries have been continuously improved in terms of power storage capacity and charging capacity, and also determine the cruising range of electric vehicles.

Except for a few car companies such as Biati, the battery is basically "outsourced" mode.

Linde New Energy was born for this purpose.

As the driving "trunk" of electric vehicles, the use and development of electric motors are very mature.

In this area, Mango Auto can quickly make up for its shortcomings by acquiring one or two companies with mature technologies in the motor field, which is not a problem.

In the past week, Lu Kai has been leading the investment and mergers and acquisitions department to do this. Three investment targets have been screened out, and the next step is to start acquisition negotiations.

The last is the electric control.

As the "brain" of electric vehicles, the improvement of the electronic control unit has always been an important breakthrough point.

It will also be a key area of ​​Mango Auto's technical research.

The original space-time Warwick was able to easily enter the electric car track and cooperate with other car companies to build cars because Warwick has unique technical advantages in electronic control and assisted driving.

This is unmatched by rookies like Xiaomi and Qihu.

If Mango Auto does not want to become a pure assembly brand like Wei Xiaoli, it needs to increase investment in research and development from the very beginning, and have its own unique secrets, otherwise how can it compete with Tehula?

As the brain of electric vehicles, how difficult is it to develop electronic control?
Thinking about the frequent brake failure accidents that occurred in the original space-time Tehra, you know how difficult it is to achieve a perfect combination of software and hardware without any mistakes.

Thankfully.

The mango laboratory chaired by Chen Ping, a subsidiary of Fertile Research Institute, has aimed at high-end assisted driving technology from the very beginning, and has made some breakthroughs.

Because of this, Chen Ping has been appointed by Zhang Shuo as the technical director of Mango Automobile, and the mango laboratory will also be moved from Binhai City to Shanghai to complete the follow-up technology research and development.

Software is the soul of electric vehicles.

"Then let's discuss the model of Mango cars now." Zhang Shuo jumped into the topic, "Let's be honest, the first model of Mango cars is determined to be an economical car, temporarily named Mango X series."

The target is Tesla's best-selling Model 3.

Compared with Zhang Shuo, the "prophet" of Mango Automobile, the development of Teshila has gone through three stages, especially in the early days of its establishment.

Which three stages?

Phase [-]: Build a low-volume model that is expensive.

This is Tesla's first car, the Roadster.

It's a luxury sports car, and it's expensive.

The second stage: use the money earned to develop a model with moderate output and lower price.

This is Tesla's second car, the Model S, a luxury four-door electric sedan.

In 2013 of the original time and space, the cumulative sales of Model S were 22442.

This is absolutely unprecedented for a newly launched electric car worth more than $7. Therefore, in the first quarter of the same year, Tehula made its first profit and became the focus of global attention.

The third stage: use the money earned to build a high-volume, affordable model.

It's at this stage.

It was the turn of the Tesla Model 3's gorgeous debut.

The original space-time Tehula stationed in China in 2018 and invested in the construction of the world's fourth, most advanced and largest super factory in Shanghai in order to solve the problem of insufficient production capacity of Model 3.

Different from Teshila's starting from scratch, Mango Automobile is backed by the big tree of Sprout Group and has no shortage of start-up funds. It can skip the first and second stages and directly enter the third stage.

From the beginning.

Just rush to build a mass-produced and mature model, and continue to upgrade it in the future.

Zhang Shuo is not greedy.

Create a car trump card first, and then consider other models such as SUVs and sports cars.

Taking a shortcut is also because there is not much time left for Mango Cars.

Although it is still four years before the birth of the Tesla Model 3, the brand influence of the Tesla has risen sharply due to the unprecedented success of the Model S on a global scale.

Coupled with the blessing of the beautiful Chinese blood, Teshila has its own halo.

Once the brand influence of Teshila is consolidated and the perception of "Thula = high-end electric vehicle" is formed in the minds of consumers, there will be little chance for Mango Motors to counterattack.

Never underestimate the value of the brand.

Take smartphones as an example. In the eyes of many consumers, whether it is active cognition or passive acceptance, they all default to Apple = high-end mobile phones = face.

Especially in the past few years, this kind of cognition has become stronger.

Even after the old Joe left, Apple's technological innovation has become more and more lackluster, and even once reduced to the point where it needs to copy the technology of other companies, but it still cannot break the myth of Apple's sales.

No matter how good Huawei is, in the eyes of some Chinese people, they still think that apples are more delicious.

This is the brand advantage.

This is also applicable in the field of electric vehicles. Although Wei Xiaoli is indeed not very good, the gap with Teshila in terms of pure technology is actually not that big.

But why are there two grades in the eyes of consumers?

It is because of the brand halo!
Compared with rookies like Wei Xiaoli, consumers have preconceived ideas about Teshila.

Even if the international situation in the original time and space is changing, even if there are many scandals in the Chinese market, even if Teshila's crisis public relations are messed up.

However, there are still a large number of consumers who recognize Teshila and think that opening Teshila is better than Wei Xiaoli.

Can't escape the law of true fragrance.

Of course, this is also related to the unremitting support of Teshila in the capital city.

In order to introduce Tesla, Shanghai needed land for land, policies for policies, and money for money.

The Teshila Mordu Super Factory claims to invest 50 billion, but more than half of the funds were raised with the help of Mordu, which came from loans from major banks in Huaxia.

Try changing to a domestic company?How could it be possible to enjoy such imperial treatment.

Magic City.

It is indeed the city of magic!

In order to catch up with Teshila, Zhang Shuo even drew a sketch of the concept design of Mango X1.

Also heartbroken.

Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, electric vehicles have advantages in appearance design.

For example, a closed front face design can be adopted.

The front face of traditional fuel vehicles will have an open air intake grille, which can play the role of ventilation, heat dissipation and exhaust, and an open grille will also be designed on the back.

But in the field of electric vehicles, a completely closed design is adopted.

Not only is it a closed design, but in order to reduce the power of the car and be more in line with the aesthetics of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, electric vehicles often adopt the design concept of "front circle and rear".

The result is that the overall shape is more cool, even with a little sci-fi color.

In traditional fuel vehicles, only high-end sports cars can have such a bold design, which leads to the fact that even new car manufacturers can easily beat traditional fuel vehicles in appearance.

It's not that their design skills are so good.

It is the endogenous genes of pure electricity that determine that electric vehicles can be so good.

"???"

Faced with this scene, Tang Xiang was naturally at a loss.

In his perception, today's regular strategy meeting can be used for collective discussion, which is nothing more than the concept design of Mango Auto's logo, the medium and long-term development plan, and the general direction of technology exploration.

It belongs to pre-work.

For the specific work, we have to wait until the R&D team is in place, and then slowly explore.

How can you think.

Zhang Shuo directly skipped the previous tortuous exploration period, and threw out Wang Zha at the beginning.

On the contrary, Gu Mingzhang and others, who experienced the birth process of Maili X1 at the beginning, are no strangers to Zhang Shuo, the big boss's God's hand.

Even looking forward to it.

"My request is to come up with the first concept car in 2013, realize the first batch of small deliveries in 2014, achieve mass production in 2015, and achieve mass delivery in 2016."

Zhang Shuo set a very clear timetable for Mango Auto, that is, he followed the Model 3 timetable, and was determined to achieve mass production before Model 3 mass production.

Take the way of Teshla, let Teshla have no way to go!
