I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 183 Chapter 29-31: Our goal! (three chapters in total)

Gao Huaijun is in a hurry to get into a B-class car this time, instead of waiting until 6 years later, that is, 15 years after the battery technology and automotive supporting equipment are perfected before getting into a car.

It's a thoughtful consideration.

The core reason lies in Hillhouse Technology, an electronic technology company with a history of 4 years.

Unlike Zhongwei in later generations, in addition to the consumer goods market, there is also a rapidly expanding corporate business and a prosperous ICT business!

To a certain extent, although Gao Huaijun used the name mate series, in fact, Hillhouse Technology is more inclined to be an optimized version of Xiaomi.

It’s just that compared to Xiaomi, its initial research and development in the chip field is stronger!

The foundation of such a company is still too weak.

Moreover, not counting the ICT sector, the electronic technology field is greatly affected by the supporting information industry!
In 09, the average income level of Chinese residents was not high, the construction of 4G and 5G was still in progress, the related APP ecosystem was not sound enough, and the development wave of electronic technology had not yet arrived.

Travelers are not omnipotent. These large-scale supporting facilities are completely unrealistic without an investment of tens of billions.

These ecological supporting facilities, including the EUV lithography machine that was very popular in Gao Huaijun's previous life, were completely impossible to establish with Gao Huaijun's billions of funds.

However, if Hillhouse Technology does not expand downstream but develops horizontally,
You ask this company to compete with the already very strong ICT business of Zhongwei, as well as mature companies like Alcatel-Lucent.

That would be completely impossible to use. Gao Huaijun has the core advantage of overcoming the information gap.

Therefore, in order to give full play to Hillhouse Technology’s advantages in electronic technology, empower Lingxiao Technology’s new car research and development, and make every effort to build the technology moat of Hillhouse Group.

Complete the concept and product matrix of technology +.

He must make a breakthrough in the field of B-class cars!
The combination of ICT+ cars on the track, whether it is BYD in the previous life or Zhongwei Wenjie, shows that this track is very exciting and full of gimmicks!

How much money can you make from a hatchback?

The core customer group of cars is still some men in their 30s and 50s, but the hatchback "Xia" can only make some young women spend some money to buy it.

The market itself is very narrow and not big.

Large automobile manufacturers will still focus on mini-cars, but on Type A and Type B cars.

For example, Lavida, Accord, Sylphy, BYD Qin, etc. These products are mass-market vehicles.

The later model 3 is Tesla's core mass product.

Now Gao Huaijun brings the advantages of ICT, combined with the new aesthetics of later generations, and China's unique advantage of low R&D (low wages), he doesn't believe it, he is doing worse than the current Truss!

Therefore, Gao Huaijun is determined to win Hillhouse Technology’s entry into the automotive field.

However, he still underestimated the social reaction to Lingxiao Technology's plan to develop B-class cars.

In 09, car license plates were not scarce, but companies that could make cars and generate economic benefits were truly scarce.

"This Hillhouse company is silent and about to make a big news! Why didn't they bring it up during the last negotiation? If their new B-class car is built in Shanghai, we will give them a better deal. What a discount!”

"Hey! Who knows if he can handle this large car? Modu Auto's own B-class cars are not very good. This is just a small business. It used to make mobile phones. This is really not accurate. ."

"It won't take more than three to five years to build a large car like this! They won't tell us in Xicheng about such a big thing!"

“This is an opportunity and a challenge for Xicheng!”

After confirming the authenticity of this matter, the attitudes of many leaders who were still in a wait-and-see state changed and they were divided into two extreme factions.

Some want to take advantage of the opportunity to win over and place big bets.

Some people feel that Hillhouse Group is not very good, which is a pity.

Of course, it is impossible to hide this kind of action from someone who is interested.

Many colleagues couldn't help but smile when they learned that a mobile phone company like Hillhouse Technology actually wanted to get involved in automobile research and development on a large scale.

Playing with mobile phones and playing with cars?

Not to mention cars, they are still the most difficult and fiercely competitive B-class cars.

Isn’t this the same thing as making motorcycles and making wine?

nonsense!

This is nonsense!
Not to mention big-name companies such as the top three German companies and the top three Japanese companies.

Even some small domestic companies, such as Changcheng and Xiali, were all laughing.

Huaguo Auto has been developing for so many years. If it can really make a breakthrough in the field of B-class cars and gain a firm foothold, why can't any company make the breakthrough?
Is it because they don't work hard?
Or are they people with low IQs?
Don't challenge the path that has been tried by predecessors and failed!
Otherwise, you, Gao Huaijun, will definitely hit a wall!

. . . . . .

Imperial Capital, a private golf course.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a polo shirt was holding a golf club and watching another person swinging a long pole. Next to him was a caddy who helped pick up the ball and provided golf club service.

Changcheng Lao Wei has always liked this sport.

The amount of activity is not large, and you can breathe fresh air outdoors. This is definitely a rare sport suitable for middle-aged people like him who lack physical strength.

More importantly, you can also chat about intimate topics outdoors.

This is also the reason why some golf courses have always been prosperous.

"Old Wei, I haven't played for a long time. What have you been busy with recently? How are the sales of your H5 and H7 going?" asked another middle-aged man on the side.

This person is clearly that Ji Boli!
Then he waved to the caddy standing nearby, asking him to leave for a moment to get them a few bottles of water.

"Just so-so! You also know that in this era, Huaguo Automobile can only compete in the mid- to low-end. There is no chance for domestically produced cars in the market, so we can only do it step by step! This kind of compact urban SUV , there is still a market for it!" Lao Wei sighed as he wiped his face with the wet wipes placed aside.

"I heard that you want to expand your market share in the East China area and open more 4S points. However, you called some distributors here, but there was no response every time. Is this the same thing?" Ji Boli asked. He took off his hat, fanned himself, and then asked calmly.

"This... due to the corporate strategy, the long-term is not suitable for rapid expansion now, and we still need to do a good job in a down-to-earth manner."

"You have to know, Brother Ji, that's a lot of money, and we at Changchun are just a local car company in Beihe Province!"

"China's automobile industry is relatively weak in technology research and development, and lacks core technologies for independent innovation, especially in key areas such as engines and gearboxes. There is still a large gap with the international advanced level. This makes China's automobile companies in the international arena We will be at a long-term disadvantage in market competition.”

"This may be a joke to other large foreign-funded companies, but it is a disaster to our country, China."

【Chapter 30】

"I can't do it either!"

As he spoke, Old Wei sighed helplessly.

Ji Boli looked around, and after a long time he slowly said, "With the current financial crisis, it is not easy to find a suitable investment partner! Most of the 4S stores of China Changchun Motor are in the red..."

"Old Ji, what do you want to say? Please make it clearer." Old Wei frowned and replied.

As he said that, he took out a box of gold leaves from his pocket and handed one to Ji Boli.

Ji Boli hadn't seen anyone else for a long time. When he came here today, he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Gao Huaijun of Hillhouse Technology is engaged in automobile research and development, as you know!" Ji Boli held a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Old Wei, and said slowly.

During this period, Hillhouse Technology plans to develop B-class cars, which can be said to have shocked the entire automotive industry. How could he, Wei, not know about it!

Wang Fengying, the current top leader of Lingxiao Technology, is Lao Wei's old assistant.

In addition, there was a disturbance at the Shanghai Auto Show.

This was definitely old and new grudges, and it made him furious!

"I'm very interested in their Hillhouse Technology's R&D portfolio. As far as I know, Hillhouse's asset-liability ratio is a bit high due to the newly opened car track, and their B-class car is still in the development process. , cannot take care of the entire capital chain. If you do something for me, Wei, I can lend you a sum of money, 5000 million, with an annual interest of only 5%! 5000 million, in this world "How can it be so easy to borrow it! If you can't pay it back by then, you can transfer it directly," Ji Boli said lightly.

"Oh? Only 5%? I don't understand what you want!?" Old Wei raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ji Boli in surprise.

5000 million!
This money is not 50!
Borrowing such a large amount of money from a bank requires very complicated lending procedures.

During this time, he has been worried about this matter!
"The Russian poet Negrasov once said, if we don't understand, how can we understand! The world is by no means limited to a group of people like us!"

"Old Wei, there is no such thing as innocence in this world. Can you honestly say that you have never told a lie? This is self-deception!"

"There may not necessarily be rewards for your efforts, and there may even be losses, but you must have paid for them to get rewards!"

"To expand a business, it needs capital investment, and more importantly, trustworthy partners and friends. It's just a small favor! Brother!"

As he spoke, Ji Boli whispered in Old Wei's ear. . . .

. . . . . .

Leader Lu couldn't help but feel emotional when he looked at this young man who was as old as his children and grandchildren.

This young man is qualified to stand with him as an equal!

Seeing Gao Huaijun come back from his immersive world, Leader Lu no longer hesitated. He patted Gao Huaijun on the shoulder, lowered his voice and said directly, "It seems that Mr. Gao likes the scenery of Xicheng Courtyard very much! "

Gao Huaijun was shocked by him.

He suddenly turned around and glanced warily at the smiling middle-aged man in front of him. It wasn't until his eyes glanced at Shang Yayan, who was standing quietly beside him, that he relaxed slightly.Today, Leader Lu has specially invited me to come and meet with the Xicheng Government.

Two people, face to face, chat once.

"I'm Lu Zhengwen!" Leader Lu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Gao Huaijun nodded.

In fact, during this meeting, not only the Xicheng locality called, but also the province above.

Although Sujiang Province is a large bulk province, and its provincial capital is still Huijing, it will still be consistent in dealing with Shangmodu.

The relationship between provinces is actually very subtle.

It is a competitive relationship.

At this moment, the red sun is rising, and the sun's rays shine on every corner of the courtyard, dyeing the entire Xicheng compound orange-red.The plants, buildings, paths and decorations in the compound all look particularly bright in the warm sunshine.

The two exchanged a few words at first, and then, after all the idle staff had left, Leader Lu asked directly, "I heard that you, Hillhouse Technology, want to really enter the automotive field in a big way. I want to ask why. ?”

"You guys have done well in mobile phones before. You just need to continue to expand electronic technology-related product lines in electronic technology. I think Hillhouse Technology has a good chance of reaching the end. You have solved the problem of Hillhouse Technology's product strength and sold The Mate mobile phone is also a high-end product on the market."

“And now, you don’t need to venture into car production!”

"Obviously, you are a very ambitious guy!"

"You have now solved all the technical difficulties one by one and built Hillhouse Group into an impregnable fortress!"

"I came to you today just to ask, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Do you want to be a well-known person in the Yangtze River Delta region, or become the richest man in China, the richest man in this country, or what?"

"Only in this way can we determine how much help we can give you!"

At this time, Leader Lu had a serious expression and sharp eyes. He stared at Gao Huaijun, as if he wanted to see directly through his thoughts through his eyes, the window to the soul!

This sense of oppression is too strong!
After all, he is the leader of Xicheng, a major city!

But Gao Huaijun shrugged his shoulders, leaned back, and asked, "Leader Lu, if I say that my ambition is greater than this, what would you think?"

Leader Lu thought for a while and replied, "If it were any other ordinary young man, including my son, I would persuade him to be down-to-earth; but for you, I want to hear what you really think, what are your ambitions, and what are your goals?" To what extent?”

"Your current Hillhouse Company is already qualified to obtain Xicheng's investment resources, but we want to hear your opinion!"

Gao Huaijun nodded. He organized his words slightly and replied, "Actually, it's very simple! Now, I just want to build a B-class car that can gain a foothold in China! This car is not only It is a car that has a solid foothold, and I hope it can completely change the pattern of China’s industrial undertakings!”

After Gao Huaijun finished speaking, he spread his hands!

Like many talented businessmen, he knew that free competition was wasteful and that monopoly was efficient.Therefore, his goal is to pursue this effective monopoly.

And what is an effective monopoly?
Create a new way of using energy, and then let the countries behind it support it!

【Chapter 31】

Energy is the core underlying rule for a country, or even a society, to survive!
Leader Lu looked at the young man in front of him with shock.

This guy is not even 30 years old this year!
This can no longer be described as ambitious!
Thanks to growing up in a peaceful time.

This guy, in the Qing Dynasty, might come up with something to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty!
After stopping for half a minute, Leader Lu asked, "Since 1950, at this stage, China's automobile industry has grown from scratch, and has initially formed an automobile industry layout dominated by trucks."

"In 2009, 60 years later, although China has become one of the largest automobile markets in the world, it is still at a very disadvantageous position in the two fields of A-class cars and B-class cars. This is a The problems of the country’s industrial system cannot be turned around by more than one company!”

Gao Huaijun nodded, and he took out an exquisite model of 'Han' from the briefcase prepared beside him.

This kind of model is generally only used internally by automobile companies. They will make the design drawings into small plastic products to give people an intuitive feeling.

You can see the cool curves on the exterior from the model.

At the same time, you can even see the interior through the model.

The full LCD instrument panel, double-width flat-bottom multi-function steering wheel, passenger front fascia with integrated dragon-scale ambient lighting, air-conditioning outlets on both sides and audio speakers are also located on this line, but they are different from the traditional one-line arrangement. Instead of opening the settings, they adopt a relatively "scattered" position arrangement, so that they are arranged in a "pin" shape in the spatial structure, combined with vehicle start/stop, mode switching, various central control functions and gears. The "LX-HEART" not only provides a rich visual hierarchy, but also creates a technological atmosphere heading into the future.

Cool!

Stunning!

Science fiction!

Shocked!

Even the models are made to look like futuristic cars!
Even if Leader Lu had doubts, he was speechless for a long time after seeing such a microscopic model!

Gao Huaijun nodded and replied, "To be honest, I am already wealthy and free."

"Needless to say, my wealth can be easily spent in ten lifetimes."

"In the market, there are many technology companies and investment companies that want to acquire my shares."

"Not to mention anything else, with this money, I will live very comfortably!"

"But, I know one thing. As a Chinese, the highest ideal is as described in Hengqu's four sentences: establish a heart for the world, establish a destiny for the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations!"

"Others can't do it well, but someone has to do it."

"What's more, we have made a big step forward!"

"Even if you fail, it doesn't matter!"

"I still remember what Tan Sitong said: Reforms in various countries are all based on bloodshed. There is no bloodshed and sacrifice in our country today. This is why this country is not prosperous. If there is, please start from the same heir!"

"Similarly, if this research and development fails, let's start from me, Gao Huaijun. I have no regrets!"

Upon hearing this answer, Leader Lu suddenly fell silent.

Yes, it is difficult to build a car that is popular in the market!
Much more difficult than building a mobile phone!

Because the automobile industry is a "big industry".

The industrial chain is long enough and can create several times or even dozens of times the employment of an automobile factory.

Although the profits of automobile manufacturers are limited, in the process of producing plastic, steel, glass and rubber from raw materials into finished vehicles, profits are accumulated.

How to judge the importance of the automobile industry must actually be considered from the economic nature.

It’s not even just a simple extension of the industrial chain and employment.It may not be profitable to go from spare parts to complete vehicles, but from stone, sand, and oil to complete vehicles, how many times would you say the value has increased?
To a certain extent, the competition in the automobile industry is not only a competition among enterprises, but also a competition among countries!

The three German powers are to Germany.

The three strongest Japanese powers are in the Kingdom of the Sun.

Isn’t that the truth?

If the automobile industry is finished in these two countries.

Is it possible that other barbers and girls standing on the street can still have an income of more than 2 or more than 3 Chinese yuan?

impossible!

Thinking of this, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Time makes people grow old, and their youth is gone in an instant.

Think about it, 30 years ago, he was also a young man with four talents!

So, he slowly said, "I understand."

"From today on, Xicheng will do its best to provide Hillhouse Group with the greatest convenience!"

"Believe me, the sincerity of our Xicheng cannot be given by half-hearted demons!"

"But before that, I'm a little curious."

"Is your Lingxiao company just producing a B-class car? Will there be any surprises in the future?"

Gao Huaijun smiled and did not answer directly, "Leader Lu, do you believe that one day, our car will be able to walk on the road without us driving it?"

For some reason, five big words popped into Gao Huaijun's mind - 'Nantianmen Project'!
Leader Lu's eyes suddenly widened, but before he could answer, Gao Huaijun continued, "Actually, this B-class car is just the beginning, and even my Hillhouse Technology and Lingxiao Technology are just the beginning."

"I just said that my ambition goes far beyond that! My goal is to leave my name, Gao Huaijun, in the thin history book!"

"Our Chinese cars will one day occupy the entire land of China. Our mobile phones can control the movement of our cars. The era of the Internet of Everything will be opened by us Chinese!"

"But this is far from the final outcome!"

"So, if you want to ask me what my future goals are, it's actually not difficult to answer!"

"My goal is of course the sea of ​​stars!!!"
