Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"What? The net profit of the 20.9-yuan Linghang 001 is only 3 yuan?"

"How did Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Dami Company manage to keep the cost of manufacturing cars so low?"

"It's over, the auto industry is over!"

"It's a cancer. The Pilot 001 is a cancer. Its appearance will set the automobile industry back a hundred years. It's a cancer!"

Masik did not bear the pressure alone, but shared the collected cost price of the Pilot 001 with his "co-branded partners" so that they could also experience his pressure firsthand.

The presidents of foreign-funded car companies were all shocked when they saw the cost price. The cost budget of 17.8 was far beyond their expectations. It was no exaggeration to say that none of them could build a 2.81-second coupe at this price.

Not to mention the 2.81-second 3-2016 km/h acceleration, a sports car that can accelerate from to km/h in under seconds in is a luxury car worth at least a million.

"Bagaya road!"

Island country, Honda Group headquarters.

Otaki Kazuki was completely panicked. He thought that Longguo could not produce high-end cars, and he wanted to put pressure on Longguo by leaving the Longguo market to get them to agree to the conditions proposed by their island country.

But now?

Not only did they make it, but the manufacturing cost was also extremely low.

Anyone familiar with Japanese cars knows that their main features are fuel efficiency and durability, and power is not their main focus.

When the island country was just upgrading its industries in the 70s, Japanese cars were not popular in the international market. The reason was that the European and American markets generally preferred large-displacement cars, and the refined and fuel-efficient Japanese cars were considered too "feminine" in their eyes.

However, with the outbreak of the oil crisis in the Middle East, the whole world fell into a situation of "no oil available", the concept of fuel efficiency gradually attracted attention, and Japanese cars that focused on fuel efficiency were able to enter the international market.

Today it is today.

Fuel efficiency is still the main focus of Japanese cars.

Saving fuel means saving expenditure costs. Today, the ultra-low cost of using the Linghang 001 is not only a fight against Japanese cars from the root, but also a challenge to the manufacturing industry of the island country.

"What should I do?"

Otaki Kazuki was completely anxious.

This is the first time he feels anxious about the sales of Japanese cars. The reshuffle of new energy vehicles is too fast.

Not only him, but also Japanese companies such as Mitsubishi Group, Nissan Motor Group, and Toyota Group are caught in sales anxiety.

No one expected that a standard version of the Pilot 001 would cost only 17.8 yuan. This is no longer a price war that can be won, and we have to find a new way out.

And at the same time.

The island country's FSA Financial Services Agency.

Saito I seemed to have aged a dozen years and was sitting in the office in a daze.

He could never have imagined that Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Dami Company had actually completed industrial upgrading and created a high-end sports car as Longguo enterprises.

All his previous strategies failed.

He was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind. He took out his mobile phone, found the number of the governor of the island country, and called him directly.

"Dudu-"

After the busy tone, the call was connected.

"Saito-kun is looking for me?"

Saito Jing didn't waste any time and invited him, "Let's talk somewhere. We have to take countermeasures."

"..."

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for half a second.

He did not rush to answer, but asked: "Why so sudden? Could it really have come to that?"

"Yes." Saitoi did not deny it and said bluntly: "The cost of Linghang 001 is 17.8, which is far lower than our company's cost of manufacturing cars. In other words, we may lose the Longguo market forever."

Automobiles are the economic pillar of the island nation, and Dragon Country is its largest consumer market. The emergence of the Linghang 001 car is undoubtedly a hit on the weak spot.

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and finally made up his mind and said, "I'll call everyone over, and we'll discuss how to deal with the future situation."

"ASAP."

Saitoi urged.

Although the Nikkei 225 Index has stabilized recently, there are actually undercurrents underneath. Capital led by Longxing Group has been watching closely, waiting for the moment when a flaw is revealed.

Not only the island countries feel anxious, but Western countries across the ocean also feel sales anxiety because the automobile market is so important and it is related to the development of heavy industry.

Germany, which was originally in a "honeymoon period" with Longguo, now has to re-examine the relationship between the two, because the emergence of the Pilot 001 will damage the interests of German cars.

You have to know that at the national level, there are no eternal enemies or friends.

……

Dragon Kingdom Deep City.

Longxing Group Landscape Base.

The main stage of the stadium.

Zhang Shaohan only needed one song, "Invisible Wings", to liven up the atmosphere and make everyone immersed in the Longxing Annual Meeting.

Perhaps many people have had the same experience, that is, walking on the street, and the songs played by the roadside speakers reach your ears, your mind will instantly become dazed and you will think of past memories.

This is because the human brain does not have the so-called "deletion of files". Although memories will gradually become blurred, they do not disappear. Instead, they are organized and archived, similar to a library.

When your "willingness to recall" is strong, the archived memories will reappear, making you feel as if you were there.

This is also why there is a folk saying that the human brain will replay its life events before it actually dies, which is called a revolving lantern. This is not without basis, but we cannot "replay" it as we wish under normal circumstances.

The song ends.

Zhang Shaohan bowed deeply.

"Welcome everyone to the annual meeting of Longxing Group. I'm Zhang Shaohan. How are you? How are you doing?"

As she finished speaking, tens of thousands of audience members, including those in the live broadcast room, responded to her in their own ways.

"Good! Although life is difficult, we still keep our original intention."

"Growing up brings too many worries. Zhang Shaohan's singing for a few minutes made me feel like I was back in school. I was so happy back then, without any worries, and didn't need to worry about food and clothing."

"When I was little, I wanted to grow up because I thought I would be rich and could buy delicious food and wear nice clothes every day. But now, I just want to go back to primary school and read books till I die."

"I want to buy osmanthus flowers and carry wine, but it is not like the travel of youth. I have to say that poetry is the most beautiful expression of emotions after leaving aside the achievements."

Since Zhang Shaohan sang the divine song of youth, the audience was also moved and immersed in it.

Looking at the excited audience, Zhang Shaohan did not linger, because she knew very well that this was Longxing Group's annual meeting, not her concert, so she quickly threw out a brick to attract jade:
"'Invisible Wings' is a song I released in 06, which is 10 years ago. Many of my fans may have entered college or society. You may be confused at this stage, with academic pressure, employment pressure, and pressure to find a spouse. But as my lyrics say, we must grow up in loneliness and believe that the invisible wings behind us can take us out of trouble."

"All right."

"Let's not waste any more time. Please welcome Mr. Chen Xing, President and CEO of Longxing Group, with the warmest applause!"

"Clap clap-"

The applause was like the rising tide, spreading rapidly in all directions.

Chen Xing, who was standing at the backstage entrance, felt his eardrums hurt as he heard the thunderous applause. The audience tonight was so enthusiastic.

Of course.

There are also BUFF bonuses for its own employees.

As Chen Xing walked out of the entrance, the spotlight immediately shone on him.

He was dressed very formally tonight. The well-cut suit showed off the width of his shoulders and paired with a smoky gray shirt, he looked less childish and more mature and stable, and also more reliable.

"Fuck, it's Mr. Chen!"

"So handsome, Mr. Chen!!!"

"The four words 'young and promising' are embodied. If I can get him, I would be willing to drive a luxury car and live in a villa!"

"I suddenly feel that the male star I'm chasing after is so weak. He's less than 30 years old and in charge of a trillion-dollar group. This is the star that an eagle-like woman should chase after!"

"My mind tells me that I can't get close to this man, but my body tells me that he makes my heart beat fast."

Unlike other corporate CEOs, Chen Xing is less than 30 years old. Both his figure and appearance are at the peak of his career.

Chen Xing had also seen a lot of things, so he was not overly moved. He walked calmly to the main stage, waved and said hello: "Hello everyone, I am Chen Xing."

Concise and concise.

There was thunderous applause.

Facing the overwhelming applause, Chen Xing continued: "All of you present here tonight are internal employees of our group. Thank you for your silent contributions over the past year. Please allow me to call you brothers and sisters."

"Clap clap-"

The applause continued without any sign of stopping.

Faced with this situation, Chen Xing could only raise his voice and continue, "We naturally don't play tricks on brothers and sisters."

"I'm sure you all have seen the mountain of cash beside me. This is the annual dividend that the group gives to my brothers and sisters."

As soon as the words fell, the audience suddenly became agitated.

"For us?"

"No way, cash dividends?"

“We ordinary workers also have it?”

"It should be given to the headquarters staff. How can we workers get any dividends? It's good enough to take a hundred yuan."

"Yeah, don't get your hopes up."

The audience at the scene were basically factory workers, and they had never seen a precedent where the headquarters gave money specifically to the workers.

Let alone paying them money, the workers should be thankful that their wages are not deducted.

The most important thing is that in order to avoid risks and disputes, many factories choose to cooperate with labor companies. The recruited workers are not signed directly by the factories, but dispatched by a third party. If something goes wrong, the labor company will be responsible.

to be honest.

They are not even formal employees.

However, Longxing Group is different. Chen Xing has clearly issued instructions that Longxing Group's production factories do not need the involvement of third-party labor companies, and all risks are borne by themselves. What are the benefits of doing this?
1. Save costs.

Labor service companies are willing to take risks. They are not doing charity. They need to take a commission, and every worker needs a commission.

2. Improve worker efficiency.

Labor dispatch generally does not include social insurance, but directly signed employees are required to pay social insurance.

In other words, as long as a worker works diligently until retirement, he can enjoy medical and pension benefits without having to worry about having no money to spend when he is old or having no money to see a doctor.

With welfare protection, workers will work harder.

3. Manage and control risks.

News of labor dispatch companies running away with money often occurs. Once this happens, it is a huge loss for the Longxing Group. After all, with a size of 1 workers, a single absconding with money could result in a loss of over million yuan.

For various reasons, Chen Xing would rather spend more money than let the labor company intervene in the daily operations of the factory.

So far, his choice is normal.

While other factories are often caught in wage arrears and third-party labor dispatch companies are running away, Longxing Group's affiliated factories are sitting pretty and have become a holy place for many workers.

When the workers on the scene all felt that they had no share of the money, Chen Xing looked at several factory leaders not far from the stage and said:
"If I'm the only one distributing money, I'm afraid it's a bit slow. Zhou Zhaoji, Yang Minshuo, Zhang Heting, Yao Nana, Lan Junyi..."

Names were called one by one, and senior executives of Longxing Group took the stage.

Chen Xing glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "There are 1.4 brothers and sisters here tonight. I will give you one hour to deliver the 1 million in cash to them."

The words fell.

The scene and the entire internet went wild.

“It’s not real hair?”

"Mr. Chen is not joking?"

“Workers can also share profits?”

Amid everyone's questioning gazes, Longxing Group executives including Zhou Zhaoji, Yang Minshuo, Zhang Heting, Yao Nana, and Lan Junyi have begun to call out names and ask their subordinate supervisors to lead the team to the stage.

When the first batch of workers who received dividends came on stage, they realized that this was what the group member registration list some time ago meant.

"Ge Dajin, you are the team that received the most performance bonuses last quarter. You are also the team that assembles mobile phones most efficiently and has the best quality control. There are 20 people in total, including the team leader. Your year-end bonus is 1 yuan each."

"Thank you, Director Yang."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Ge Dajin is a middle-aged man who looks honest and simple. The moment he took the 20 yuan in cash, he couldn't stop smiling.

1 yuan!
This is 1 yuan for free!

According to the current purchasing power, 1 yuan is enough for a family's basic living expenses for half a year. How could Ge Dajin not be happy?

"Work hard and buy some New Year's goods for our family." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. Our factory has the best welfare benefits that I have ever worked for. I will work harder in the future."

"Well, the more you work, the more you get."

After a brief conversation between the two, Ge Dajin walked off the stage with 20 yuan in cash.

When the team leaders returned with cash, the team members were stunned. They had never expected Chen Xing to be so generous. The least amount was 3000 yuan per person, and the most was 1 yuan per person. This was a windfall.

The netizens who were watching the money being distributed in the live broadcast room were completely jealous, and the number of barrages increased unprecedentedly.

"No way! Are you really giving out money?"

"It's too simplistic and crude. No empty promises, just give money directly. Mr. Chen, do you accept winter vacation workers? I want to work!"

"If you don't understand, just ask if a technical secondary school student can enter the Longxing Group's factory. Waiting online, it's urgent."

"After looking at other people's bosses and then looking at my own boss, I can only say that not everyone can be called an entrepreneur."

"I want some tips on how to get a job at Longxing Group!"

For workers, the best motivation is not chicken soup, but real monetary encouragement.

Chen Xing's on-site dispatch, coupled with the improvement of the welfare system, has silenced the other factory bosses who were watching the live broadcast. No wonder Longxing Group has become a benchmark in the industry, they really treat their employees very clearly.

Perhaps Chen Xing would never have thought that he was only formulating welfare benefits in accordance with the law, but he unintentionally promoted the formulation of factory welfare standards.

……

And on the other side.

Fengtian City.

Pilot Auto Northern Factory.

Since Longxing Group's headquarters is in Shenzhen and Linghang Automobile's northern factory is in the northeast, one in the south and one in the north, the workers here naturally cannot attend Longxing Group's annual meeting.

However, Chen Xing did not forget about them, but asked Lei Bushi to send out red envelopes on his behalf.

"Jia Shaocheng, 5000 yuan."

"Li Tianfeng, 5000 yuan."

"Qiu Dunming, 7000 yuan."

Because it is semi-automated, the northern factory has only 900 workers, and the dividend red envelopes are distributed very quickly.

Lei Jun handed over the cash and encouraged the workers: "Chinese New Year is coming soon. Let's come back and work hard after the Spring Festival."

"Okay, Mr. Lei, we will definitely come back and work with you guys diligently."

"Yes, thanks to the group for the year-end bonus."

"Thanks to Longxing Group, Rice Company and Kunpeng Company, we can also experience the feeling of receiving year-end bonuses."

"You know what, this is my first time taking it."

The workers were all smiling happily. For them, this money could be their children's tuition or their family's expenses for half a year.

The news that Longxing Group gave money to its subordinate factories also reached people from all walks of life, causing quite a stir.

Wang Fang, who was far away in the imperial capital, heard the news and couldn't help but put down her pen and asked, "Are you saying that Chen Xing gave the workers a large dividend?"

"Yes, mayor, the starting price is 5000 yuan per person, and I heard that Longxing Group does not engage in labor dispatch, but adopts a direct signing model."

The secretary responded quickly.

When Chen Xing signed the bet with Didu, she felt that this man was extraordinary, but she never thought he would act like this.

Other group factories treat their workers so well that they only want their labor and reduce their welfare benefits as much as possible.

But what about Chen Xing?

They actually signed directly!
The factory's direct contract means that it is obliged to pay social security for the workers. Wang Fang's eyes flashed with jealousy without disguising that "Shenzhen is really lucky. With such a company in charge, it's hard for the economy not to take off."

If possible, she really wanted to lure Longxing Group to the imperial capital, but thinking about it, it was impossible. After all, Shenzhen City was not a pushover and people there would try their best to keep them.

Not only Wang Fang was envious, but leaders of other cities were also envious, because companies like Longxing Group were rare, not only in Longguo, but even in the world.

In Singapore, Wang Shan, who had been paying attention to Chen Xing, saw this scene and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Good boy, I was right about you. Enterprises spontaneously giving money to workers can stimulate consumption to a certain extent and make the domestic economy more prosperous."

In an environment of consumption downgrade, it is not advisable for the state to distribute money, as this will increase the inflation rate. But it is different for enterprises, as this is labor income.

This is like the difference between disaster relief by the imperial court and work-for-relief. The former can only solve the immediate problem, while the latter can solve work problems and make consumers feel more at ease.

In fact, the country has always been promoting work-for-relief. With the advent of the era of large-scale infrastructure, how many migrant workers have been supported?
If we don’t build large-scale infrastructure, the existing jobs will not be able to fully meet the needs of the population.

……

It took a full hour to deliver all 5 million in cash to the workers. This simple and crude method won Chen Xing unanimous praise.

As the money shone, Chen Xing stood on the main stage with a smile on his face, saying: "2015 was a turning point for Longxing Group. We not only launched a number of mobile phones such as Longxing A1, Longxing X3, Geek X2, Brilliant X2, Tianyu X1, etc., but also successfully transformed Longxing Technology Company into Longxing Group and achieved cross-border business."

"The growth of the group is inseparable from the efforts of everyone. We also uphold our original intention and send you this year-end bonus."

"Clap clap-"

The applause at the scene was like thunder and continuous.

The workers holding banknotes wished their palms were broken at this moment. Leaders like Chen Xing who loved to give out money were their favorites.

After a two-second pause, when the applause died down, Chen Xing continued, "In 2016, we launched the Pilot 001, a civilian coupe developed jointly by us, Kunpeng and Dami. We will also introduce more types of vehicles in the future."

At this point, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, I believe everyone has seen the joint complaint letter. Eighteen friendly automakers said that we are disrupting the market with low prices and trying to monopolize and then raise prices."

"I would like to take this opportunity to dispel a rumor. That is, Linghang 001 has enough profit. Since there is net profit, how can it be considered a monopoly?"

As soon as Chen Xing finished speaking, the audience, including those in the live broadcast room, were filled with indignation and spoke up for Linghang 001.

"Well said, as long as there is a net profit, it is not suppressing the monopoly. Even if the price is low, it is at most dumping. Competitors are just jealous."

"I support Mr. Chen in suing them for slander!"

"We are used to high prices and low specifications. Now there is a low price and high specifications. How is the quality of Linghang 001? How can we not know?"

"That's it."

The audience at the scene spoke at the top of their voices for Linghang 001, not because they had just received money, but because they truly felt that Linghang 001 was different from other vehicles and that it truly served ordinary people.

Chen Xing had obviously anticipated the audience's attitude. He just put down his hand and said calmly, "We reserve the right to pursue the slander of our competitors, but I am not bringing this up tonight to complain about them. I just want to make something public."

"That is, regarding the technologies related to solid-state batteries, super motors, and high-voltage platforms, we are willing to provide convenience to new car companies, so that we can expand the new energy vehicle market and make Longguo's manufacturing industry usher in a qualitative breakthrough. This is what I want to say."

Chen Xing has never thought of dominating the market alone. What he wants to do is diversify, so that Longguo Automobile can get rid of its low-end status and make its own name.

Of course.

He also has his own selfish motives.

That is to use new forces in car companies to quickly reshuffle the world's car market and make fuel vehicles a thing of the past.

As long as Longxing Group maintains its leading position in solid-state lithium batteries, other friendly car companies will be working for it.

When BYD CEO Wang Fu heard Chen Xing say that he could license the patent, he immediately gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "This is the pattern. No wonder Chen Xing is so successful. It seems that he is targeting the international market."
