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

Chapter 480: 268-269: Counterattack! (4000 words)
#HillhouseGroup
#World500

These two core keywords quickly jumped to the top two of Weibo's hot search list almost immediately after Hillhouse released its 2016 annual financial statements.

Generally speaking, ordinary hot search lists have the word "hot" or "boiling" in front of them.

But in front of #高岭集团, there is a word "explosion".

The Fortune 500 has been around every year, but for a company like Hillhouse to make steady progress year after year and now directly jump into the top 200 is truly a miracle in China's business history.

In the past, Chinese people had regrets. The regret was that although China has always had some Fortune 500 companies.

But basically, those that can get promoted are mainly monopolistic or semi-monopolistic enterprises.

Such as China Power Grid, China Bank, China Telecom, etc.

These companies are strong, but they do not represent China’s advanced productivity and advanced direction of development.

The core is that we can’t afford to drag down China’s industrial chain!

As a global leading electronics and automotive technology company, Hillhouse has strong technical strength and innovation capabilities in many fields.

For example, in the fields of high-tech batteries, information and communications, chip manufacturing, artificial intelligence, etc., Hillhouse is in a global leading position and has played a positive role in promoting China's scientific and technological innovation.

Without Hillhouse, the development of these fields may be affected to a certain extent, but the specific extent of the impact is difficult to quantify.

At the same time, Hillhouse has established close cooperative relationships with many domestic and foreign companies, jointly promoting the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.

Without Hillhouse, these partnerships may be affected to a certain extent, which in turn affects the development speed and quality of the entire industrial chain.

Because compared with other state-owned local manufacturers, such as coarse grain factories, Hillhouse uses mostly domestic industrial chains!

Such an enterprise can naturally take care of the profits of supporting manufacturers with a multiplier of five times.

And a large part of these profits benefit domestic industrial workers.

You know, this is an industrial chain that affects at least 500,000 people, or even close to one million people!

This has also sparked discussions among netizens.

[I’m a little curious about the data of China Tobacco (with a dog head).]

[You only need to know one thing, the taxes paid by China Tobacco alone can support China's army. This is simply terrifying.]

[It is bullying to put a "small and micro enterprise" like China Tobacco on the list. It is meaningless and unnecessary. ]

[The reason behind Hillhouse's rapid rise on this list is Hillhouse's comprehensive improvement of China's industrial chain, and this improvement means that our competitiveness in other fields is also getting stronger and stronger. ]

[I agree with the above. I work at the construction site and started working in 07. As for measuring instruments, for a small prism rod, Leica will never bend, while the domestic one will bend in 2 months. Of course, a 30cm prism rod costs more than 400 yuan for Leica, while the domestic one costs 50. Even so, we still like to use Leica because it is worry-free. In recent years, most of the instruments used on construction sites have been domestically produced. For some high-tech measuring instruments, domestic ones even have advantages over Leica (mainly in terms of user-friendly use and software efficiency), and domestic machine heads are becoming more and more user-friendly. Although the top batch of measuring equipment is still dominated by Leica, domestic ones have already achieved from scratch, such as electronic levels, fully automatic total stations, etc. ]

[Yes, I am in the import and export of scientific equipment. It is true that Thermo Fisher and Mettler are monopolized by laboratories. However, in the past two years, domestic instruments have also sprung up like mushrooms after rain. More and more companies have come out, including some powerful new factories, such as the deep low temperature refrigerator of Basepoint Technology, the laboratory microwave of Haineng, and the electronic tongue and electronic nose of Zhike. Only by recognizing the gap can we catch up. Chinese people are working hard, even if the road is long and difficult. ]

【Thanks to Hillhouse for its contribution to China's industrial chain. In fact, the domestic optical instruments mentioned above, as well as some other seemingly unrelated but extremely closely related to life, such as display screens, etc., all have the shadow of Hillhouse behind them. Now it is not that there are more companies like Hillhouse, but that there are fewer companies like Hillhouse. 】

[If there were 100 companies like Hillhouse and Zhongwei in the whole of China, then China would be the world's most powerful country without any exaggeration! ]

The annual sales data announced by Hillhouse not only shocked the majority of netizens, but also directly stunned major friendly competitors.

"Their sales volume..." Feng Sihan of Dazhong Automobile saw Hillhouse's sales report on the table and compared it with his own Greater China sales report. He immediately became annoyed.

He casually took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and couldn't help feeling irritated.

He felt that he had attached great importance to Hillhouse.

The localization of the Chinese R&D team has secured most of the decision-making power for the Chinese team, without giving the headquarters a chance to interfere.

But how do you want him to play now?
He felt that he was now in a more miserable state than any other president of a large Chinese company.

What a sin he has committed!

At this point in time, he was sent to China to take over this stall.

If this point is not managed well, it is very likely that the sales in Greater China will plummet, and he will become the sinner of Dazhong.

Other presidents of branches in Greater China come here to enjoy the good life, and when they make enough money they return to Germany to retire.

He's so good, he didn't make any money, and now he's still trying to put out fires everywhere!

What bad luck!

Thinking of this, he lay down in the chair with his eyes closed, recalling all of this.

He felt that everything was a dream.

How did the powerful Dazhong Automobile come to this point?

大中现在推出的电动车产品ID.2售价16.28-19.28万元，现阶段还有着3.7-4.3万元的优惠，实际上，它的入门价格已经到了13.59万元。

But what are the prices in Europe now?
Its price is at least half of that in the European market!
and.

Now, not only are the prices of new energy vehicles produced in Germany higher than those in China, but even the prices of gasoline vehicles are higher than those in China.

The price of a very ordinary Golf in Germany is almost 1.5 times that in China.

This also makes European consumers very unhappy.

In this situation, a few years before Hillhouse Capital got involved in automobile manufacturing, the price of cars in China was even more expensive than that in the United States!
Take the Baoma X7 as an example. Its price abroad may be only more than 50 yuan, but when it arrives at domestic 4S stores, the price is almost doubled, and the price of nearly one million is staggering.

It's not just the Baoma X7. Basically, any car priced above 2 US dollars (regardless of displacement) is cheaper in the United States than in China.

This is incredible!

Chinese people's income is not high to begin with, and an ordinary car (more than 2 US dollars) is more expensive than in the United States where an ordinary supermarket salesperson earns 2000 US dollars a month. This is simply bullying China because it does not have a core automobile industry.

But now the situation is exactly the opposite.

Chinese cars are only half the price of European ones!

And judging from the situation, the price is still falling.

The goal is to reduce it to the level where no one makes any money.

"These bastards." Feng Sihan blurted out a curse word without realizing it.

The Chinese people play like this on the premise that China's automobile industry chain is gradually improving.

This means that the greater their overall sales volume, the lower their overall costs. And what's even more terrifying is that Chinese people don't even have to be paid overtime for working overtime!

One person can even be used as 1.5 or even 2 people.

Plus their wages are very low.

How can the large and medium-sized enterprises, most of which have a large part of the industrial chain in Europe, compete?

Abandoning the European supply chain and actively embracing China's industrial chain, will Dazhong become a pure OEM production company?

As long as he speaks out this action, those property rights controllers in Dazhong with complex interest structures will definitely tear his mouth apart and make him go back to Germany without anyone else's help.

joke!

Dazhong is the foundation of Germany, and Dazhong’s supply chain is the foundation of Germany’s foundation.

If you play like this, you are simply digging at Dazhong's roots.

Is the little profit you generate from OEM production enough to make up for the losses of large and medium-sized industrial chains?

This kind of behavior is like losing sesame seeds and picking up watermelons!
In the past, Dazhong had high profits, so giving a little money to Germany's supply chain was no big deal, and the partners of Dazhong in the north and south had to accept it with a pinch of their noses.

But what about now?
Sales are declining across the board, and the core customer base for fuel vehicles is decreasing across the board.

As for ordinary young people, more than 70% no longer choose traditional fuel vehicles.

What do you want him to do?
Go left and you will see the Gate to Hell.

Go right, it's still the gate to hell!
"Now the local new energy car companies led by Hillhouse Capital are pressing us step by step. If we can't come up with some tricks, I'm afraid we will have to ask the headquarters to come and collect our bodies." A male voice suddenly came from the side.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Feng Sihan's face.

But when he saw the person coming, he couldn't help but sit up and greeted him enthusiastically, "It's Director Hansen! What brings you here from Shengyang in the northeast?"

Hansen is from his faction and is also the grandson of Douglas, a small boss among them.

I will definitely go to the board of directors in the future.

Now that he came here, Feng Sihan thought it was mainly for gilding.

But now it seems that his ability is still good. He has integrated the marketing systems of the north, south, and middle schools very well. At least in this era when the new energy vehicle industry is strongly impacted, he can control the situation. He is already a capable minister!

"In this situation, how can we not be worried?"

"I think you have read Hillhouse's annual report. The situation is really serious now."

Hansen didn't hesitate and sat directly on the leather sofa in front of Feng Sihan's desk, crossing his legs casually.

"China's real estate industry is now very large. China has been looking for a company that can take over the real estate industry, develop its own industry chain, and boost consumption, infrastructure and exports before the real estate industry declines. Who else can it be? This is a rare opportunity to overtake the industry, bypassing the nearly 100 years of technical accumulation of internal combustion engine gearboxes, while taking advantage of China's established leading position in the battery field and the subsequent labor force base in intelligence and software."

"At the same time, it can also reduce dependence on energy imports. You know, civilian fuel vehicles account for about 15% of total energy consumption in China."

"To digest the excess capacity of photovoltaic power generation, photovoltaic + energy storage + electric vehicles is a perfect closed loop for peak load reduction and valley filling for China's increasingly large power grid."

"Under this premise, more than that, once Hillhouse's so-called fully autonomous driving is realized, it will be a real dimensionality reduction blow to traditional cars. At present, from technology to policies to regulations, China is ready for the so-called fully autonomous driving!"

Hansen took a sip of water and spoke leisurely.

Feng Sihan's face was originally very gloomy and he was very unhappy, but after hearing what Hansen said, he gradually showed shock.

He also gradually learned about these so-called grand narratives.

But as a foreigner, how could I possibly understand these few words on Jianzhong.net so clearly?

What he didn't expect was that Hansen, who had been in China for a shorter time than him, had already understood this clearly.

This is incredible!

You know, it is very difficult for a foreigner to understand the basic policies of a foreign country to such a detailed level!

"In other words, China is close to going all-in on new energy vehicles?" Feng Sihan pondered for a moment, unable to calm down for a long time, and asked tentatively.

“Almost, but not far off.”

"Now the rise of local auto companies such as Hillhouse, Changan, and Jili in new energy vehicles has cleared the way for their policies."

At this point, Hansen frowned.

The implication behind his words is that the comprador automobile local state-owned enterprises behind Nanbei Dazhong are no longer as influential as before!

The will of the state apparatus is now leaning towards China's new energy vehicles.

What does that mean?
This means that China's automobile business, which accounts for half of Dazhong's profits, is really in danger.

Thinking of this, Feng Sihan threw the glass he was playing with to the ground!

This is definitely a dead end!

Although he doesn't know how long it will take for this dead end to come, local new energy vehicle companies such as Hillhouse are already strangling them. If they sit still, they won't be able to hold on for too long.

When sales collapse, that's the worst possible situation.

"Starting from today, the prices of all car series will be reduced by another 4 yuan on the basis of the original price. At the same time, the rebate for completing the task for all S stores under our company will be increased by yuan!" Feng Sihan said directly in a stern voice.

Hansen was shocked by Feng Sihan's actions.

He didn't expect Feng Sihan to play so cruelly!
"There's something wrong with this price! If we do this, the profits from the joint venture cars of Nanfang, Beida and Zhonghua will be infinitely close to zero." Hansen said in a lost voice.

“What goes to zero?”

"I will apply to the headquarters to reduce the royalties for the Nanbei, Beida and Zhonghua automobile brands. At the same time, we will increase the localization of parts."

"Now is the time to break some bones, and I need your support, Hansen!"

"You also know that the Greater China is now in a very dangerous moment!"

Feng Sihan looked at Hansen meaningfully.

Hansen was speechless, then he touched his nose and could only nod silently.
