Rewrite the Technological Landscape

After Wang Chuanfu entered Meng Qian's office, he went straight to the point, "Dell, HP and other brands have come to contact us."

"Do you feel confident in negotiating the order?"

"It's hard to say." Wang Chuanfu's expression was also filled with uncertainty, "Their first choice is definitely not us. According to their itinerary, they went to Panasonic and Samsung first."

"Although Panasonic is a giant in the lithium battery field, it does not have many Western markets in the consumer electronics field. On the contrary, Samsung may take the opportunity to steal Sony's market. What are the advantages of BYD batteries now?"

"price."

Meng Qian shook his head instinctively, "Price is not a long-term solution, BYD needs to further strengthen its research and development capabilities, and needs to speed up its globalization.

How about this, Mr. Wang has a good rest today, I will go to Chang'an to check the situation tomorrow, and then I will see what I can do later. "

Wang Chuanfu looked at Meng Qian and nodded without saying anything, because he could always find a sense of reliability in this young man.

On August 17, Meng Qian and Wang Chuanfu came to Chang'an. This was the original plan. Wang Chuanfu happened to have something to do in Hangzhou two days ago, so he went to Chang'an with Meng Qian when he was done.

The reason why I came to Chang'an is naturally because of BYD's factory in Chang'an. BYD is a deep-city enterprise, but BYD Auto started by acquiring Qinchuan Automobile in Chang'an, so sometimes I hear people say that they always think BYD It is a Chang'an enterprise.

Arriving in Chang'an at noon, Meng Qian and Wang Chuanfu first found a shop and ordered a Bingfeng Liangpi Roujiamo.

"Bingfeng must have a history of more than 50 years?" Meng Qian asked curiously.

"Well, the factory was established in 51, and the first bottle of Bingfeng should be in 53." Wang Chuanfu really understood the situation, "53 years."

"It can be regarded as an old brand in our Huaxia beverage, and I don't know why it doesn't come out of Shaanxi." Meng Qian sighed while drinking, he really couldn't figure it out.

"I can't get out." Listening to Meng Qian and Wang Chuanfu talking about Bingfeng, the boss couldn't help but interrupt.

Meng Qian didn't mind either, and even liked to chat with such a boss, "What do you mean you can't get out?"

The boss snorted, "Bingfeng doesn't use saccharin, all it uses is standard white granulated sugar, the cost is a bit higher than others, how to go out? Dealers are looking at profits, Bingfeng wants to go out, he has to change the formula, like Coca-Cola Use saccharin and caffeine, but Bingfeng’s boss doesn’t want it, so he can only stay in the local area.”

It seems to be mocking, but it is full of approval for Bingfeng, "Isn't Bingfeng afraid that other brands will come to Chang'an to compete with him for business?"

"Heh." The boss snorted again, "Coca-Cola came here in 1995, claiming to kill Bingfeng, and they bottled 50ml more Coca-Cola in Chang'an than Bingfeng, and the wholesale price was even lower than that of Bingfeng. Bingfeng is 50 cents cheaper, but the result? Bingfeng's sales are getting higher and higher.

But it can only develop in our Laoshan.

Cough, I can only say that these days, those with a conscience can't make a lot of money, and those who make a lot of money have to lose their conscience. "

"Haha." Meng Qian smiled heartily, "It seems that I have to reflect on myself."

"Hey, I forgot that there is a richest man sitting here." The boss laughed at himself, but didn't mean to take it back.

Everyone present laughed, and no one talked about this topic anymore.

In recent years, similar sayings have been everywhere, which can be regarded as a special mark of the times.

Came to the factory after dinner, Wang Chuanfu took Meng Qian to see today's target, BYD pure electric vehicle F3e.

F3e is a pure electric vehicle independently developed by BYD in 2006. The motor, reducer, battery components and control system of this pure electric vehicle are all developed and produced by BYD itself.

"I heard that the F3e has a battery life of 300 kilometers?" Meng Qian asked while checking the workmanship of the F3e.

There is no need for Wang Chuanfu to lie in front of Meng Qian, "The 300-kilometer battery life is a gimmick, which is the ideal value at a constant speed of 40 kilometers per hour."

"What is the core competitiveness of this car?" Meng Qian continued to ask.

"F3e is loaded with the world's first iron-powered battery ET-POWER, which is BYD's latest invention in the field of batteries and the world's first."

"Iron power battery?"

The engineer next to Wang Chuanfu explained, “For a long time, electric vehicles have mainly used nickel-metal hydride batteries or lithium-ion batteries. Promote the development of electric vehicles.

Therefore, we have been committed to developing new batteries from the very beginning. The reason why we choose iron-powered batteries is because of their low cost, high safety and high capacity characteristics. "

"Is there any defect?" Meng Qian said straightforwardly.

The engineer smiled and said, "Since it is an iron-powered battery, it must be very heavy. This is why the total weight of the F3e pure electric vehicle is about 200 kilograms heavier than that of ordinary cars."

"How much does an average car weigh?"

"A normal family car, about 1 to 1.5 tons."

"A pure electric car weighs 200 kilograms more than an ordinary car, which is really not a small number." Meng Qian began to observe the interior of the car, which is basically the same as the F3. "When is this car going to be launched?"

"I guess it won't be listed on the market." Wang Chuanfu said a little disappointed.

"Huh?" Meng Qian looked at Wang Chuanfu suspiciously. Meng Qian didn't have any impression of the history of F3e. He didn't pay attention to the BYD brand at this time, so he didn't know. In fact, in that life, F3e failed to go public, "What's wrong?"

"As mentioned above, before the social supporting infrastructure is complete, pure electric vehicles are not likely to be promoted to private consumers on a large scale. We have already built three charging points in Shencheng to try out, but in the end we still failed to convince the government. .

In fact, another reason is that foreign car companies have already sentenced pure electric vehicles to death. "

Meng Qian took a long breath, "Listen to those idiots farting again!"

Wang Chuanfu actually didn’t understand the deep meaning of Meng Qian’s complaint, and thought he was comforting himself, “Foreign car companies have said that the mileage, cost and convenience of use are the core of the development of pure electric vehicles, but these problems make the global All the auto giants have surrendered. Whether it is Germany or the neon country, they have clearly pointed out that the development of pure electric vehicles is a dead end.

In fact, the situation in the United States is similar, and Tesla is insisting on it. I met Musk some time ago, and he said that he has been ridiculed in the United States, and now it seems that there is something wrong with the brain to engage in pure electric vehicles. "

"Then what are you thinking now? What are your plans?" Meng Qian tentatively asked.

"The R\u0026D center's proposal is to shift the focus to hybrids."

"I'm a little curious about your personal thoughts."

Wang Chuanfu smiled half firmly and half helplessly, "I still firmly believe in the future of electric vehicles, so in the face of reality, I can accept hybrid power first."

But Meng Qian was not very accepting, "Can you walk on two legs together?"

"The research and development funds cannot support it." Wang Chuanfu said the most practical problem.

Meng Qian said without hesitation, "I'll pursue the investment."

Wang Chuanfu looked at Meng Qian and said slowly, "This is Mr. Meng."

"Like you, I am very optimistic about the future of electric vehicles. I invested in BYD back then for this purpose, so if I want to do it, I will continue to do it firmly. Hybrid and pure electric vehicles will be developed together. As long as Dafeng Group is still alive, you Don't worry about money, but only if you believe the path is right.

In addition, don't major automakers now impose a death sentence on pure electric vehicles? That's just right. When everyone doesn't take it seriously, we take it seriously. As long as pure electric vehicles have a future, when they realize it, we should lead the market.

This will be of great help to BYD going global in the future, so Tesla is BYD's real opponent, so pay attention to this company. "

Wang Chuanfu smiled heartily, "Mr. Meng, don't worry, I've been involved with electric cars for the rest of my life."

Meng Qian nodded, "I've probably figured out how to deal with Samsung. I'm just waiting for good news from Mr. Wang on the electric car side."
