Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

I have been traveling for a year, and the road has been windy and rainy. I rarely take highways, mainly national highways, and often run on country roads. Although Lantuqi has no problems, the driving experience is really bad. Saboian is good, but it is super messy. It is only suitable for use in cities.

Qu Li and his team often change drivers, so it's impossible to say it's not broken. However, they maintain it well, which is generally acceptable, and it basically doesn't affect their schedule.

Qu Li posted screenshots of statistical data on the Internet to let people see the proven reliability of Qiancheng Auto's quality. Of course, most people couldn't understand it and would only make noises.

The advantage of Qiancheng Geometry is the car chassis and suspension, but in fact domestic consumers are not very perceptive of these, and they account for a very small proportion in their car buying decisions, not as good as the large screens and speakers for the exterior and interior.

However, Qiancheng's research on chassis suspension can be transplanted to electric vehicles and can also meet export requirements. From the beginning, Qu Li decided to go abroad, so he spent money in invisible places.

Speaking of which, Qiancheng Automobile's real benchmark should be French cars: stable chassis, good control, good comfort, thick materials, good sound insulation, and rich configurations. Qiancheng Automobile has the advantages of French cars, and it also has the appearance. Design, sense of technology, pretty good powertrain. After acquiring Mitsubishi Motors, engines are no longer a shortcoming.

Qiancheng sold its gearbox business to Wanlixing and worked with Chery to build the best gearbox company in China. The CVT25 is still being optimized, with a maximum torque of 300Nm. It is also developing a CVT36, with a designed maximum torque of more than 400Nm. CVT36 is used because of its name. Nice to hear.

Wanlixing's income has soared, and it has money to invest in research and development. Last year, it also introduced PE investors and prepared to go public in China. Unfortunately, the Geometry Y6 was launched this year, which had a huge impact on the entire automobile market. Relying on its strong product strength, it had a huge impact on the market in the second half of the year. By November, the Xingsha Super Factory achieved full capacity production, that is, one Geometry Y6 rolled off the production line every minute.

Geometry Y6 sells close to 20,000 units a month in China, and more than 5,000 units a month in the European Union. It also sells in Hong Kong/Singapore/Taiwan, Australia, Japan, and Kimchi. The 30,000 units shipped to the United States were sold out in more than a month. , even if the price increased to US$60,000, some people still bought it, but sales dropped sharply to less than 5,000 units. The main reason was that Tesla was not strong enough to deliver, and many consumers who did not want to wait long bought the Geometry Y6.

Fortunately, the Magic City factory is progressing very quickly, and Musk continues to encourage investors on Twitter, because although Tesla's order losses are serious, there are also many new orders. Geometry's advanced assisted driving has not yet been launched in North America and is being tested on roads in Europe and the United States. There are few reports on it, so it is not as attractive as Tesla.

You must know that not all cities in China have directly-operated stores. Every district and county in first- and second-tier cities has at least one directly-operated store. Overseas, the layout is mainly around big cities.

Compared with the current global monthly sales of Geometry G9/Y9, which is less than 10,000 units, Geometry Y6’s sales in November were about 30,000 units, directly catching up with Qiancheng CS6’s 40,000 units.

Cheap prices, preferential taxes, green licenses with no restrictions on travel or purchase, and product strength are the prerequisites for the explosion of domestic electric vehicle sales. The more you sell, the more subsidies you will get, so much so that some people in China jokingly call new energy vehicle subsidies: geometric car purchase subsidies.

The existence of Future Future has caused relevant departments to intensify their efforts to crack down on companies that cheat on subsidies. Geely Automobile has even affected the head office, because they not only question new energy vehicles, but also question why Saab is a domestic car and Volvo is not?

Qiancheng Geometry has conflicts with Geely, but this does not hinder their cooperation. For example, Geely purchases gearboxes from Wanliyang. In foreign countries, such as Sweden's Volvo, it does not target Saab.

Qu Li's companies are very tolerant and open. Ji Li, who likes to hire trolls, doesn't dare to offend him too much. For example, a major mobile phone manufacturer that competes with Honor has been spreading rumors to slander Qu Li. He is so angry. Of course Li Yinan had to fight back.

In line with the "brother-in-law" novels that have become popular in recent years, there are various yin and yang stories about a founder who made his fortune off his wife, and the source of the technology he is proud of is not glorious. In addition, he plagiarized Cisco without even changing the source code. Don't laugh either, Cisco did the same thing later.

Li Yinan is very clear about the gossip and insider information of the factory in the early days, but that was only in the past. Now, there is more black information, even if it does not explain blatant violations of labor laws, illegal fund-raising, and various small tricks when competing with friends, such as Tampering with ZTE's equipment, making employees of friendly companies late, forging documents from African countries, and various methods are endless...

The wolf corporate culture lacks human nature, but Qu Li emphasizes "empathy". We must have empathy for both internal and external companies, consumers, partners, and ordinary people. This is human nature.

Then it is said that a certain large company lacks the spirit of innovation and can only be a chaser. It cannot be a leader in the industry and lacks pioneering...

Originally it was hard for Qu Li to brag about this, but how could he keep pace with Tesla? The bragging rights he had boasted were no less than Musk's, such as the open (useless) new energy vehicle patents that attracted entrepreneurs. Many things are now at the forefront of the industry, including Galaxy Power, the open source architecture RISC-V and the Rust language supported by Honor.

In addition, Honor, Time Jumei and Kingsoft have cooperated to develop an enterprise-level Linux operating system for digital infrastructure that supports server, cloud computing, edge computing, embedded and other application scenarios. It is temporarily called Kingsoft Linux and may be named another one in the future. A nice name, such as Taishan OS or Honghuang OS, is fine.

In 2018, ZTE was suddenly stunned. It gradually improved the underlying architecture of the IT Internet and suffered discrimination from the United States, Japan and South Korea. It was obviously more patriotic than a large patriotic company. Then there is the exposure of some details of the cooperation between a large patriotic manufacturer and the trolls, such as the practice of the "Saturation Attack Marketing Method": spending hundreds of millions to promote Honor's mobile phones is cutting leeks.

It is difficult for the public opinion war to be one-sided. Although Qu Li has a lot of negative information, he doesn't care about it, and it is separated from Glory and Time Jumei. As a company, Qu Li's Glory is real glory, with tens of billions of support. BOE can be said to be the best publicity.

Qu Li also used "10 billion" to bet that housing prices would rise. Later, 10 billion was used to support BOE, and now he is spending 10 billion to build the "Eye of the Earth". It is affectionately called "Ten Billion Songs" by netizens and creates a new unit of measurement: "One song equals 10 billion."

Domestic netizens have a complicated attitude towards Qu Li. They scold him and criticize him, but at the same time they think he is awesome and very friendly. For example, although the song "Hu Guangsheng" is about the protagonists of the movie, is it not Qu Li and Chen Danlin who were in trouble at the time? Why not the vast number of sentient beings?

Qu Li is undoubtedly versatile. The two movies based on his entrepreneurial story did not do well at the box office, but netizens who have watched it said: "After watching this movie, I realized that reality is more legendary than the movie."

Although there are various reasons, public opinion ultimately depends on strength. The industries that Qu Li has entered, such as Time Jumei and Glory, are number one in the industry. He has a promising future of dominating the country and is expected to lead the world. Compared with the boss of a large factory, even Qu Li's fans believe in Qu Li more, even though he has repeatedly emphasized that he has memorized many of Mr. Ren's quotations and studied the management system of the big factory...
