Super Copy of Great Power Technology

By then, the production speed of Chinese spaceships will at least double. A large number of commercial spaceships, such as immigration ships, mining ships, transport ships, etc., will lay the keel and start construction. Most of the design drawings of these civilian spaceships were made by Qiao Ruida. He took the Naga spaceships as the basis, referred to the appearance of spaceships in some science fiction works and science fiction games, and carried out a lot of localization to make it more suitable for Chinese people. After the design of the drawings was completed, they were handed over to Jarvis for simulation testing in the virtual world constructed by the quantum computer to find out all possible design defects and make modifications and improvements. Some minor problems can be corrected by Jarvis, but some serious defects require Qiao Ruida to do it himself, and even the entire design drawing is completely denied. Things that have been reworked have also appeared several times, which really made Qiao Ruida very worried. Fortunately, once the design drawings are finalized for mass production, they do not need to be modified for several years or even decades. Even if some design flaws or inhumane aspects are found in the future use of the space ship, only some local modifications will be needed in the subsequent products, and the overall design drawings will not need to be overhauled.

This year's Spring Festival came in late January, which was particularly early. In order not to miss the annual leave, all departments of the company have been particularly busy recently. The fourth quarter report of 16 and the annual report of 16 need to be prepared. Various statistics, tax returns, performance calculations of hundreds of thousands of employees, and year-end bonuses are issued. There are also some scientific research projects carried out last year. Those that have been completed need to write project reports. For those that have not been completed, the progress of research and development and the use of funds must be checked, and the difficulties encountered in the research and development process must be explained.

Ruida Mall has once again launched its annual year-end promotion, with Ruida's full range of products at a 15% discount. In addition, there are tens of thousands of products in dozens of categories on sale at a discount, most of which are the best-selling products this year. Such an unprecedented discount has completely ignited the shopping enthusiasm of netizens. Just one week after the event started, it has created a sales flow of over 100 billion, which really shocked the crowd. Correspondingly, all employees of Ruida Network Company are busy and work overtime until late at night every day. Online store customer service, order clerks, packers, and couriers have become the busiest positions in the company, and they wish they could work eighteen hours a day. Even if all employees work overtime, there are still many orders accumulated, and there is no time to ship them, so they can only delay the shipment. In addition, this wave of hot sales has also helped brother companies Ruida Technology, Ruida Electronics, and Ruida Pharmaceuticals to clear inventory and recover funds, which is a win-win situation.

Seeing that the year-end promotion of Ruida Mall was so effective, Ruida Automobile Company, a sister company, could not sit still and started promotions. However, cars are large items with high production costs and low profits, so the discount was only about 4%. Some entry-level models and hot-selling models were even only % off. Even so, it attracted a large number of consumers who wanted to buy cars and walked into Ruida S stores. As a result, on the domestic vehicle daily sales list, the rankings of Ruida brand models began to rise rapidly, and several hot-selling models occupied the top few places on the list, with sales exceeding other brands by an order of magnitude.

Now, other domestic automobile manufacturers can no longer sit still and are trying to find ways to increase the sales of their own products, such as reducing prices, offering free maintenance, or offering sales rebates. After all, the domestic automobile market is only so big. If Ruida Automobile sells more, the sales of other brands will inevitably be affected. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. At this critical moment, if you don't fight hard, will you wait until your own automobile brand is marginalized before making efforts?

However, not all car companies are thinking about reducing prices for promotions and giving benefits to consumers in order to increase sales. There is a state-owned car company that has taken a different approach and opened up a second track. It sued Ruida Automobile Company, which took the lead in price reduction and promotion, to the Automobile Association, on the grounds that it was maliciously reducing prices, hurting others with its own capital, and disrupting the order of the automobile market. In order to increase persuasiveness, they also cited the Ruida SUV produced by Ruida Automobile Company as an example, saying that the production cost of SUV models with similar configurations produced by their company is 120,000 yuan, while the promotional price of Ruida SUV is less than 90,000 yuan. Isn't this the best evidence of malicious price reduction and hurting others with its own capital? Well, this big hat is put on, and no one can be blamed. If one of them is confirmed, Ruida Automobile Company will have to bear the consequences, at least a huge fine and a deadline for rectification are inevitable. It is said that Ruida Automobile Company's upward momentum has been interrupted, and its car sales will also be sluggish.

The big brother of the state-owned enterprise came to complain, and the Automobile Association naturally did not dare to be perfunctory. It immediately set up an investigation team and invited experts in automobile production and representatives of major domestic automobile companies to go to Ruida Automobile Factory for an on-site investigation. Ruida Automobile Company did not take the letter of cooperation sent by the Automobile Association seriously. They were not afraid of the shadows. The malicious price reduction and hurting others with their own capital were simply nonsense. You should know that Ruida Automobile is a private company that is responsible for its own profits and losses. It is still engaged in heavy industries such as automobile production and sales. It is basically impossible to raise funds and cash out on the market. It can be said that all their business operations, including this price reduction promotion, are mainly for the purpose of making money. How can they sell cars at a loss? All accounts are clear and clear, all auto parts and raw materials have clear sources, and the entire automobile production process can be seen when entering the workshop. If the Automobile Association wants to investigate, let them investigate. Facts speak louder than words, and the results of the investigation will prove everything.

The investigation team acted quickly. The next day after sending the letter of cooperation, they drove to Decheng Ruida Automobile Factory. The number of people in the investigation team was unexpectedly large. Three cars and two buses brought at least fifty or sixty people. There were quite a few big shots among them, including two vice presidents of the automobile association, the founders of two new car-making forces, several executives of private automobile companies, and several powerful managers of state-owned automobile companies. During the investigation, more professionals may be used, such as automobile experts, accountants, supply chain integrators, cost accountants, patent searchers, etc.

As soon as the convoy arrived at the gate of Ruida Automobile Factory, the members of the investigation team were shocked by the scene in front of them. At least dozens of large double-bridge car transporters were parked outside the gate of Ruida Automobile Factory, waiting in line to enter the factory. On the other side of the road, car transporters full of cars drove out of the factory, turned onto the main road, and rushed to all parts of the country. Above their heads, from time to time, several newly-made flying cars gradually accelerated and whizzed past under the control of the autopilot system. From this scene, it is not difficult to infer that Ruida Automobile is now in good production and sales, and its business is very good. This makes some representatives of car companies whose car sales are average and have begun to suffer losses quite envious, and they wish they could take their place.

There were so many vehicles waiting to enter the factory that if the investigation team's car was to wait in line, it would take at least one or two hours before it could enter. The investigation team couldn't wait any longer, so they had to call and contact the External Relations Department of Ruida Automobile Factory. Under their guidance, the investigation team's convoy drove another kilometer along the road and entered the Ruida Automobile Factory from Gate No. 2.

Gate No. 2 is mainly used by employees of Ruida Automobile Factory to enter and exit the factory when they go to and from get off work. Entering from Gate No. 2, there is a large parking lot not far away, with at least hundreds of cars, thousands of bicycles and electric bicycles parked here. These vehicles are all driven by employees of Ruida Automobile Factory for daily commuting. Under the guidance of the staff, the investigation team drove the vehicles to the parking lot, parked them, and then got off and took the battery sightseeing cars provided by Ruida Automobile Factory to go deeper into the factory area. Due to the large number of people, more than a dozen battery sightseeing cars were used to accommodate all the dozens of people.

"Director Fang, what is this area surrounded by iron fences on the right used for? Why is it so large?" A member of the investigation team asked, pointing to an open-air area surrounded by iron fences on the right side of the road.

"Oh, that's the comprehensive automobile test site that our company spent 500 million to build. The extreme data of many models of our Ruida Automobile, including acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour, extreme speed, maximum torque, maximum output power, maximum endurance, etc., are all tested in this site. In addition, some test sites have built a set of urban traffic simulation systems that can simulate real urban traffic conditions and are used to test and optimize the vehicle's automatic driving function." Fang Xiaolian, an employee of the External Relations Department, proudly introduced to the investigation team. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, just a car test site, it cost 500 million. It's really rich and extravagant, a typical nouveau riche style!"

"That's right, what kind of testing ground is this? It's so precious. Wouldn't it be better to spend that money on developing new models?"

"Our factory also has a car testing ground, which has various terrains and is fully functional. It occupies a similar area to this ground. When it was built, it cost less than 100 million yuan. Isn't your cost of 500 million yuan a bit too exaggerated?"

There were several older members of the investigation team. Perhaps because they had experienced the early days of the People's Republic of China, when everything was in ruins and the automobile industry was taking off with difficulty, they had already engraved thrift into their bones. They hated all kinds of waste and complained about the 500 million yuan cost of the test site.

Fang Xiaolian is a fresh graduate this year, majoring in social relations. She joined the company through campus recruitment in the summer and has been with the company for just over half a year. Although she has not been with the company for a long time, she has already regarded Ruida Automobile Factory as her own home and will not tolerate any derogation from others.

"My opinion on this point is completely different from yours. As we all know, vehicle testing plays an important role in the process of automobile research and development. Only after a new model of automobile has been developed can we find out its advantages and disadvantages and whether there are any areas that can be modified and optimized. Our automobile testing ground is the most advanced and fully functional in the country. Many test equipment are the most powerful and accurate products purchased from the market. Some test equipment is specially customized by manufacturers. There is only one in the world, so the purchase price is naturally not too cheap. Our brother units, Ruida Research Institute and Ruida Technology Company, have also helped develop several exclusive automobile testing instruments. This is an internal cooperation within the group, so the charges are relatively low. Otherwise, the 500 million construction investment may not be enough."

"Ahem, Secretary Fang is right. We are all in the automotive industry and we should know that a new car model needs to undergo multiple tests and modifications from the start of project development to finalization and mass production before it can gradually mature, be finalized and mass-produced, and meet consumers. Testing new cars requires a test site. Spending a lot of money to build a car test site with complete functions and advanced equipment can be considered a part of R&D investment." Seeing that the two sides were on the verge of a fight and there was a risk of the argument escalating, Feng Yazi, vice president of the Automobile Association, quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

After a small episode, the battery convoy continued to move forward, passing through the new model R&D laboratory, metal material R&D laboratory, brushless motor R&D laboratory, and dozens of other large and small laboratories. The members of the investigation team wanted to get off the car and visit these laboratories to see how strong this recently rapidly rising private car company is in the development of new cars. However, these laboratories are the treasures of Ruida Automobile Factory and have strict confidentiality requirements. If you want to enter and visit, you must make an appointment half a month in advance and undergo a qualification review. Only qualified people can be released. Most of the members of the investigation team are from other domestic car companies, which means that their companies are in direct competition with Ruida Automobile. Who dares to let such a group of people enter the R&D laboratory for a visit? What if they cause data leakage?

The battery convoy continued to move forward, passing almost half of the factory area, and finally stopped in front of a 20-story, sci-fi office building. This is the newly built office building of Ruida Automobile Company. Two middle-aged men were already waiting downstairs to welcome the arrival of the investigation team. Looking closely, the two middle-aged men were quite different. One was nearly years old, wearing a suit and leather shoes, his leather shoes were polished, his tie was tied meticulously, and his hair was not messy at all. He was a business elite at first glance. The other looked at most years old, but he was indeed unshaven and unkempt, and he came wrapped in a military coat.

When the battery car stopped, the investigation team got off and two middle-aged men came to greet them. Fang Xiaolian introduced the two parties, and everyone knew the identities of the two middle-aged men. The older one was Zhong Ruixiang, the deputy director of Ruida Automobile Factory and the deputy general manager of Ruida Automobile Company. He was mainly responsible for the sales of Ruida Automobile. The middle-aged man wrapped in a military coat was Yao Jiakang, the chief engineer of Ruida Automobile Factory. (End of this chapter)
