I stole someone else's ticket to rebirth

Chapter 253 Jiang Banxia's Ticket
Li Yang returned to Jiangbei because there were many people defending their rights recently.

Someone directly broke through the second-hand market price of Jiying cars.

The price in the second-hand market is very important. Whether you are buying a house or a car, it is part of your assets.

When a car is purchased with a loss of half its value, no one would think it is a car worth buying.

Especially now that points are not very useful and there is nothing good to redeem, you can only save them.

People are impatient and they can't wait until next May. Li Yang doesn't have that many real fans. Those who truly believe in him unconditionally have already bought the first batch.

Now Li Yang is trying his best to protect the market and hold on to this market.

There are too many people who don’t like electric cars, just like the generation gap between young people and the older generation, which cannot be changed.

Especially since Jiying Automobile is a new force and does not have the added bonus of a long-standing brand heritage, its recognition is even lower.

Many people in the second batch came just to be able to subscribe to Wanliu Capital's stocks, but in the end Wanliu Capital's stocks did not meet expectations at all.

As the A-share market has been declining during this period, even if Li Yang took out 30 billion to protect the market, it can only last for another half a month at most, and the stock price can only be allowed to fall afterwards.

Most people can't stand spending money to buy a car, using the car purchase points to buy stocks, and then the stocks fall.

On the first day back in Jiangbei, Ye Bingcheng had a meal with him.

The topic of discussion was simple, that is, Ye Bingcheng was preparing to purchase a batch of Jiying cars on behalf of Jiangbei Municipal Government.

Official orders can stabilize the market on the one hand, and alleviate the current predicament of Jiying Automobile on the other.

But Li Yang didn't agree.

It is not a good time to buy a Jiying car now, and the Jiying car is a flashy coupe. What can you do after buying it?
You can't patrol in a Jiying car, right?

Even with the blue and white paint job, the stylish look doesn’t fit.

After meeting with Ye Bingcheng, Li Yang met with Zheng Dasheng again, and the two sides communicated for more than two hours.

The only purpose is to increase the second-hand market price of Jiying cars.

There are not many Jiying cars on the market now. Once there are too many, and this continues for a period of time, the entire market will collapse.

Anyway, the agreement between him and Zheng Dasheng is that as long as there is a second-hand Jiying car on the market and the price is less than 250,000, it must be bought as soon as possible.

The funds were obtained by borrowing from a bank, and Ye Bingcheng helped out a little.

At this time, for Ye Bingcheng, maintaining the Jiying Automobile is a must, as the Jiying Automobile is on the verge of success.

As long as Jiying Automobile can sell hundreds of thousands of vehicles a year, he will be successful.

The industrial output value brought by hundreds of thousands of Jiying cars can be regarded as a shot in the arm for Jiangbei's industrial system.

The only indicator in the country now is the economy!

Without the economy, nothing can go wrong. This is where more than one billion people need to eat.

In Ye Bingcheng's opinion, Li Yang was really abiding by the rules and hardly made any requests that would embarrass him.

If other companies were of this scale, they would have already made exorbitant demands for various privileges.

On July 7, Li Yang came to the company and once again went deep into several important departments.

The first car in the Ji series was named Tianquan, and it was also the first car officially released.

The second large SUV is named Yaoguang and is currently being prepared for mass production.

Both names come from the names of the Big Dipper. Tianquan represents wisdom and Yaoguang represents control.

The Jiying car has been on the market for half a year, and its accumulated mileage has exceeded 50 million kilometers. There are 16,000 Jiying cars running normally on the road.

There are still more than 30,000 orders that have not been delivered, and they may not be delivered until the end of the year.

This situation is inevitable when the product needs to be replaced every year.

Someone just got a new car and found out it's outdated.

The domestic automobile market is huge. The current number of traditional fuel vehicles is around 300 million. Although there are many classic cars that are 20 to 30 years old, there are countless cars that are more than ten years old.

But this also represents the domestic consumption capacity, which is the world's largest consumer market.

The elimination of fuel vehicles is an inevitable trend, and this process may take ten, twenty, or thirty years.

Just like in the 90s, a six-story bungalow was considered a luxury home, and many people could afford such a house, even if they had a house in the city.

But now... no one wants such houses anymore, even though such houses have no property fees, the surrounding living facilities are relatively complete and the consumption is not high.

But everyone just prefers more expensive new houses.

The new house has an elevator, property management, a comfortable environment, and the community has large areas of green plants.

They are willing to pay for that added value, the so-called emotional value.

Living in an old neighborhood, I have to climb the stairs tiringly. I feel bad and want to relax, but when I go downstairs, I start to smell exhaust gas, along with a variety of garbage odors...

The technology of fuel vehicles has not changed significantly in nearly a decade. Fuel vehicles that cost hundreds of thousands of yuan smell like cheap artificial leather, and the garbage cotton stuffed at the bottom releases a pungent odor all the time.

It cannot connect to the Internet, and even joint venture cars worth hundreds of thousands of yuan don’t even have a screen, but just a radio inside.

Even some first-tier luxury brands that cost only three or four hundred thousand yuan have basically artificial leather interiors, which start to crack after a few years of use and the paint starts to lose after a few years, leaving your hands sticky if you touch them.

Don’t even think about seat heating and seat ventilation. It will cost tens of thousands to install them.

What about in-car entertainment? It's good enough if you can listen to music. Want to connect to the Internet? You have to pay for data traffic every month, and the price is not cheap, three times that of the same mobile phone package.

The car computer's performance is extremely lagging, with no operating space, just like an old version of Nokia mobile phone.

Of course, millions of fuel-powered vehicles have begun to transform. Whether in terms of interior or performance, they can make people feel unprecedented satisfaction. This kind of emotional value cannot be replaced by electric vehicles in the short term.

In the next few years, the number of domestic new energy electric vehicle users will gradually replace fuel vehicles at an annual increase of 2024 million. This is an extremely large market. By , this increase will reach million.

For Li Yang, Jiying Automobile is a career that he can pursue for a lifetime.

At present, the total mileage of 50 million kilometers is not much, which is equivalent to each car driving only 3,000 kilometers in half a year.

However, the failure rate is very low and battery spontaneous combustion has not occurred yet.

Spontaneous combustion is inevitable. After all, with such a large battery, there will always be some faults that cause heating and fire.

A fuel vehicle only has one lead-acid battery, so it is bound to spontaneously combust. In addition, the number of spontaneous combustion of fuel vehicles around the world is not low every year, and it is basically caused by aging circuits leading to poor contact.

This year, Jiying Automobile has three main directions: the first is the range extender, the second is assisted driving 2.0, and the third is Lingfeng chassis 2.0.
Jiying Automobile now has nearly two thousand engineers, and technological advancement must be rapid.

If you slow down, you will lose the opportunity.

He was personally involved in assisted driving, mainly guiding the direction.

Apart from doing some underlying architecture at the beginning, I didn't write a single line of code afterwards.

Currently, the company has several vehicles undergoing intelligent driving training, but the training is still being conducted in closed areas, where there are many faults and accidents are prone to occur on the road.

Through various scenario simulations, it is clear that Jiying Automobile is burning money at an unimaginable speed.

Now the order funds for more than 50,000 vehicles, more than 10 billion yuan, are almost burned out.

On the one hand, the production center has expanded its capacity from one production line to the current four production lines. Because there are too many orders for the Tianquan series and they cannot be delayed until next year, we have been forced to add a production line, which is estimated to be completed by the end of July. By then, the monthly production capacity of the Tianquan series will be around 8,000 units.

The other two production lines are the Yaoguang series, which are also under construction and are expected to be completed in October.

The combined production capacity of the two production lines is 6,000 units per month.

It is estimated that another 10 billion will be invested this year. Every step he takes is bigger than others, and he knows that he must succeed.

It’s just that industry is not like finance. Finance only needs to focus on numbers. If he has the third eye, he can basically make a profit.

But the real industry is not good. Even if the Sky Eye is opened, it is difficult to have any effect in a short period of time. For example, this time, we can only borrow money to buy second-hand cars from the market, barely maintaining the price of second-hand cars in the short term to avoid being directly hit.

Currently, the increase in orders for Jiying Automobile is less than 300 units per month, which is a visible decline.

At the beginning, he only planned to keep one production line for the Tianquan series, because next year the Tianquan series will be equipped with extended-range technology, which is different from the pure electric production line.

But he can only spend tens of billions more to make ends meet, and he can't really let those people wait until next year to get the car.

The industry had a good start, but there was no guarantee for its follow-up. Li Yang now wanted to completely stabilize the situation. The only way was to slow down the depreciation rate of Jiying Automobile.

You can’t spend money yourself.

That is a bottomless pit, and can only be used when the number of Jiying cars in stock is low...

Even if he believes that he can make money in the US stock market next year, it will stimulate more people to buy cars.

But their starting point is to get financial management points, not because they really think the car is that good.

On the contrary, after making money, people are willing to sell the car at a lower price, and the second-hand market will still be impacted.

It’s not that the Jiying car is bad, many people have never driven one.

Or after opening, the other party may not be able to adapt in the short term. There are many factors...

This is how industry is: difficult at the beginning, difficult in the middle, and even more difficult at the end.

……

In the evening, Li Yang ordered food from the restaurant and had it delivered to Bai Qing.

Bai Qing had just returned as well, and was mainly busy with the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds qualifiers.

This time I didn't ask the nanny to follow me, I just asked someone to come over in advance to clean up the mess.

When Li Yang came here, he only saw Bai Qing, Chen Peipei and the child.

At night, after comforting each other, Bai Qing in Li Yang's arms said, "Hubby, can we take wedding photos tomorrow? I can't wait to marry you."

"Okay, I'm free tomorrow."

Even if something happened, Li Yang didn't want to show it.

"So does your husband prefer a Chinese wedding or a Western wedding?"

"What about you? I like whatever you like."

"Then... let's have a Chinese wedding. I like Chinese wedding dresses."

"it is good!"

……

On July 7, Li Yang hardly went out. He stayed at home with Bai Qing to pick out clothes, and then had them sent over for him to try on.

We have made an appointment with a photo studio, but I can’t go there until the 5th. Then we will go to Jiangbei to take a few wedding photos.

Originally, Bai Qing had plans for July 7, but Li Yang made an excuse that he had work to do.

In fact, early in the morning on the 3rd, he took the high-speed train to Beijing.

Today is Jiang Banxia’s birthday.

The gift had been prepared long ago, and when he came over, Xue Ning was there too.

He came to Jiang Banxia and put his arm around her shoulders, "Happy birthday, wife!"

He felt like a nobody. Yesterday he was choosing wedding clothes with Bai Qing, and today he came to call Jiang Banxia his wife.

Although both words have the same pinyin...

At night, Li Yang talked with Jiang Banxia about some things about Jiying Automobile, the current difficulties they were facing, and the funding gap in the second half of the year.

Jiang Banxia listened carefully.

This was the first time Li Yang asked her for help.

She could also see Li Yang's recent depressed mood. Judging from Li Yang's business layout, if Jiying Automobile collapsed, then everything else would be meaningless.

There is no longer enough fundamental support.

Just like stock speculation, even if a stock can catch a few hot spots, the increase will be quite limited. If the main business is not well-developed, the market value will not be able to rise on a large scale.

When it was late at night, Jiang Banxia asked, "Husband, do you want to stay here for a few more days?"

"This...may not be able to stay here. I have to go back during the day."

"Will you come back in a few days?"

"I guess I won't be back until the end of August. Can I accompany you every day then?"

"okay."

As he spoke, Jiang Banxia opened the bedside table and took out a small wooden box.

After opening the wooden box, there was a card inside.

The card is hand-painted in the style of a train ticket.

The departure station is written as Senior Year and the destination is left blank.

The time is from 2014 to 2096.

The passenger was Jiang Banxia and the driver was Li Yang.

Jiang Banxia took out the card and said, "Hubby, I've bought the ticket, you must take me to my destination..."

After seeing it, Li Yang took it and said, "Nowadays, everyone takes the high-speed rail. Who still takes the train?"

"The train is slow, so I can see more of the scenery outside. The high-speed train is too fast, and I'm afraid my life will be too dull..."

"Thin? Brother will soon let you know what it means to be overwhelmed by a mountain!"

After saying that, Li Yang became dishonest.

In just a blink of an eye, Jiang Banxia said shyly: "I... do think about it a little."

……

"Happy birthday, hubby!"

"Ok."

……

On the afternoon of the 4th, Li Yang returned to Jiangbei.

Before leaving, Jiang Banxia gave him a birthday present.

After seeing Li Yang off, Jiang Banxia lay in the bedroom and read a book when she was bored.

She didn't know much about business, but after listening to Li Yang's talk, she realized that some things cannot be achieved by just having money.

After looking at it for a while, she opened the bedside table and prepared to continue practicing hand-drawing.

There was little to keep her focused now.

Just as she opened the bedside table, she saw the wooden box from last night.

After opening the wooden box, a train ticket was found intact inside.
