A genius tech empire

“Affected by the epidemic, the sales performance of new energy vehicles in the world has declined to a certain extent in the first half of this year. Global new energy vehicles, including pure electric, plug-in hybrid, and gasoline-electric hybrid, have a total sales of 442,786 vehicles in the first half of the year. Among them, the monthly sales volume in June was 109,379. From the data, it can be seen that the sales volume in June has picked up significantly, and the sales volume in July is expected to be even higher.

"Sales ranking, Tesla Model 3 pure electric sedan sales reached 142,346, Renault ZOE ranked second, sales reached 37154, and third was the Leaf Lear... 6 domestic brand models entered the top 20 sales, occupying the world A quarter of the total vehicle sales are BYD’s Qin New Energy, ranking fifth with 20,990 vehicles sold; GAC New Energy..."

The day after Yang Chongming assigned the task, Chen Qi walked into the office with a document and reported the collected information to him.

The first data is the global new energy vehicle sales rankings in the first half of the year. The first thing to determine is who the competitors are. From the data, it can be seen that Tesla is really a great ride, pulling the second place far and far. .

Although he had some imagination, Yang Congming couldn't help but feel the pressure when he saw the real data.

Then, Chen Qi reported on the global sales ranking of new energy vehicles in the same period last year, and Tesla ranked first, but Yang Congming found that BYD actually ranked second last year, but fell to fifth this year.

At this time, his idea has changed from the original extreme electric car to how to carry the banner of domestic production.

Then, Chen Qi continued to report: The total sales of new energy vehicles reached 2.2 million last year, an increase of 10% over the previous year; Tesla ranked first in the sales of electric vehicles in 2019, with a total of 367,82 thousand electric vehicles sold.

In general, sales of new energy vehicles will be higher and higher, which is the future trend, and Tesla is the biggest competitor.

“The following is the charging situation. At present, the battery life of electric vehicles mainly comes from charging piles, charging stations, and switching stations. The charging stations are mainly gas station charging stations, expressway service area charging stations, most service areas have charging stations, but charging The number of piles is too small. If there are more electric vehicles in the future, it will definitely not be enough; and for gas stations, because the state stipulates that charging piles cannot be built within 10 meters of a gas machine, only some particularly large gas stations have charging stations.

It should be noted here that Tesla builds its own charging station, Weilai is a replacement station, and other car companies basically use public charging stations.

Charging piles are divided into private charging piles and public charging piles. As of the end of last year, the number of public charging piles in the country reached 450,000, an increase of 51% year-on-year, but still unable to meet the charging demand for electric vehicles.

As long as it is due to unbalanced regional distribution, the selection of charging piles needs to consider factors such as passenger flow density and utilization rate, making public areas such as supermarkets, schools, hospitals, and tourist attractions favored by charging pile companies.

There is a certain amount of construction in most areas of the country, but it is mainly concentrated in Beijing and Tianjin, the east coast, the southeast coast, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The construction area in the west and north is relatively small."

After listening to Chen Qi’s report, Yang Congming was thoughtful. It seems that the problem of charging difficulty has not been solved, but the industry is developing and the country is also vigorously promoting it. I believe that the problem of charging difficulty will be solved in a short time. It is bound to usher in a blowout of electric vehicle sales.

There are many ways to solve the difficulty of charging, one is the kind of Weilai, to replace the battery, but the operating cost is too high, the country is so big, I don’t know how many replacement stations will be built.Of course, power exchange can be combined with charging, which is also a good way to supplement. Even if other factories cooperate, the cost pressure is not that great.

The other is to build your own charging station just like Tesla. The cost is too high, but even if you build your own charging station, you can still find a partner.

However, the most important thing is the mileage and charging speed of the electric vehicle. If the mileage is sufficient, there is no need to worry about charging for long-distance trips. The charging speed is fast enough, and the time required for charging piles is short, and the number of charging piles will not be insufficient. .

"By the way, how about our brain-controlled mouse?"

There are many things I want to do, but they are all built on the basis of having money. Nothing can be done without money. Yang Congming cares about his pocketbook.

Seems to know what the boss is asking.

Chen Qi said directly: "As of yesterday, a total of 1.1 million units of the'brain-controlled mouse' have been sold, 700,000 units have been sent, and 400,000 units have not been delivered to buyers."

"Stop the pre-sale first, and wait until the stock is sufficient that day, and then open the spot." Too many orders are not necessarily a good thing. To be safe, Yang Congming stopped the pre-sale.

Of course, stopping the pre-sale now does not mean that the pre-sale will no longer be released, but it will be released after the order is almost completed.

Spot means that there are ready-made goods available for purchase. When the production capacity is insufficient, pre-sale is necessary, but there is no shortage of spot, shouldn’t it give consumers a bit of sweetness?Although the stock will not be too much.

"In this way, a batch of'brain-controlled mice' will be used to make stocks every Tuesday. You also urge our cooperating manufacturers to increase production speed. Looking at this momentum, monthly sales of 2 million units are not a problem."

After that, Yang Chongming and Chen Qi discussed how much the spot should be, and set Tuesday as the spot day, which means the day when the spot is sold.

"Also, it is time to build our own warehouse. Whether it is materials or products, we must have our own place to stack them."

After talking about the "brain-controlled mouse", Yang Congming mentioned the electric car again: "Go back and check if there is an electric car laboratory for sale. It doesn't need to be top-notch, but the basic equipment must be complete."

Through Chen Qi’s research, Yang Congming knew that the electric vehicle industry actually burned so much money. In terms of research and development alone, it would cost 1.5 to 2 billion a year, and the construction of the factory would only cost more.

In desperation, he could only see if there was any electric car company that went bankrupt. He accepted the laboratory and developed cars first. It would not be too late to build or buy the factory. After all, the development of new cars could not be completed in a short time.

"Okay, boss!" Chen Qi led the way.

It happened to be Friday. Yang Congming thought for a while and dialed teacher Su Qin's number.

"Teacher, you have helped me so much before, and I have never had a chance to thank you. I want to treat you to dinner tonight."

He was a little nervous. Really counting, he and Teacher Su are not very familiar with each other, and he doesn't know whether she would like to eat with him or not. If she refuses directly, it will be embarrassing.

What he didn't expect was that Teacher Su directly agreed.

"Okay!"
