Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

Wanxiang Group can be considered an old private enterprise, not to mention Factory Director Lu. Like Jiang Xiaobai, he is a veteran in the private industry.

They were all registered there, and they had been preparing to make cars for so many years, but as a result, they didn’t get the car license last year.

This matter is here. The threshold for private enterprises to enter the automobile industry is indeed very high, although this industry is very profitable.

But it is not that easy to make money in this industry.

Of course, when you reach the point where you are a member of the Oriental Society, people don't actually pay too much attention to things like how much money you make, because there is too much money, and it is just a number.

We don’t think about social responsibility or irresponsibility, but at least we think about the long-term development of the enterprise.

"Let me say a few words. Our domestic automobile industry started too late and still lacks core technologies. The foreign automobile industry has actually formed a complete industrial chain. They own a whole line of intellectual property rights, which is actually a lot. when.

We have already lost before we even started. Of course we have competitive advantages. One is domestic enterprises, which have some policy support. The second is the advantage in tariffs. Foreign cars require tariffs, and we have the price for this. advantages.

Another one is the cost advantage..."

After Jiang Xiaobai spoke, everyone fell silent and listened to Jiang Xiaobai's words.

The automobile industry is different from other industries, such as televisions. There are not many technical cores surrounding the upstream and downstream industries. As long as this technical core is broken, there will be no problem at all.

For example, when Jiang Xiaobai was studying in Beijing, he worked at the Daxing Glass Factory. Once the float glass technology was broken by China's Luobo, everything else would be a matter of course.

There is also a saying in the international community in later generations. As long as every product can be independently developed domestically, the price will drop again and again, and international brands will eventually be eliminated.

Because at that time, the competition was all about labor costs, but as long as the core of the product cannot be made domestically, the price of the product will remain high, no doubt about it.

But once it is made, the price changes every day.

But there is another problem with domestic companies. As long as foreign companies can't get stuck, the core technology of this product is simple, and no company will think about mastering this core technology.

But once the core technology of this product starts to get stuck abroad, you can rest assured that it will not take long for the core technology of this product to be broken.

There are too many such things to list them all.

However, this is somewhat different from the automobile industry. The automobile industry requires too many parts and core technologies, and people have built their own industry barriers around this industrial chain, with their own complete industrial chain and intellectual property rights.

Why Jiang Xiaobai spent a lot of money to acquire the two automobile factories in Moscow was not because of the high technology of these two automobile factories. If he just wanted this technology, it would be too simple.

At that time, as long as those experts were recruited, the technology would be available.

The key is the intellectual property rights and industry barriers established by other manufacturers. This is like Geely acquiring Volvo in later generations. Is it really for the profit of the cars sold? Or for Volvo’s core technology.

No, in terms of technology, Geely is indeed lacking, especially at this time, but Geely's future prospects, after the completion of Emgrand, the core technology has made great progress, there is no need to acquire this Volvo .

This is just like in ancient times when the imperial examination system was not implemented. No matter how talented you were, you still didn't cross the class.

To put it into perspective today, why have generations of hard work been lost to you, a boy from a poor family, just because you are talented?

What are the industry barriers that have been built over generations? Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, these four words have solidified the class. If you have a bad background, you have to find a way to marry into a wealthy family to break this background.

Five looks and seven surnames, these are the families that many emperors who hold the power of life and death sometimes have to compromise to a certain extent.

Why? Can't we simply kill the Nine Clans?

Yes, but people control the scholars and the knowledge is in their hands. If you don't compromise, who will do the work for you?

Later, the imperial examination system and the like slowly broke this solidified class and opened up a path for advancement.

The current automobile industry is like the time when the Ninth Grade Zhongzheng System was established. No matter how good your domestic automobile industry is, at least in the field of fuel vehicles, they have established their own advantages.

Jiang Xiaobai continued: "On the track of fuel vehicles, we are already lagging behind, not just a little bit behind, but a lot behind, but this does not mean that we have no chance.

I think our chance is on the next track. "

Uncle Li and Factory Director Lu both brightened up when they heard this. Uncle Li subconsciously asked: "Director Jiang, are you talking about the tram industry?"

"Yes, the tram industry, or to be precise, new energy vehicles." Jiang Xiaobai said with certainty.

It is now 2002, and the blowout of the new energy vehicle industry will be in ten years, or even in one to five years.

But this does not mean that car makers have never heard of electric vehicles.

In fact, for ordinary people, many things are an afterthought. Only when this industry became popular did they realize that it turned out to be so popular this year.

But the popularity of any industry or product is not accidental. People have already started to lay out the plan, but it just happens to be popular at a certain time point.

Rather than saying that the company was founded in that year.

These are completely two concepts. Taobao became famous in 2011. In 2012, it was really well-known during Singles Day and Double Eleven, and its sales exceeded 100 million in ten minutes.

But Taobao didn't start in 2011 or 2012. In the 1990s, Mr. Ma started preparing an e-commerce platform near the West Lake.

It took more than ten years for him to grow up and become known to others.

In the past, the number of domestic Internet users was not enough, the express delivery industry was immature, the market was not good, etc. were all factors. However, once these matured, Taobao became Taobao.
