Start telling crosstalk from Tingyunxuan

515, which is May 15th.

It's noon in the capital city.

A monitoring report and video produced by Guoke Tram directly shocked the internet.

At the same time, it also slapped those naysayers and foreign car companies in the face.

In the video, the Guoke engineer gave a very comprehensive introduction to the various parameters of the Guoke trolley, and also introduced the elites who developed the Guoke trolley.

At that moment, the video instantly went viral across the entire internet.

Guokr's official account gained a million followers on Douyin, reaching 2.387 million.

Meanwhile, reservations for Guoke Car will be placed further down the queue.

It is estimated that we will not be able to complete all the pre-orders this year.

The only solution now is to expand the production line.

Otherwise, Guoke Cars will become the first car company in the world to be unable to produce enough cars because so many people want to buy them.

This matter has caused Guokr's top management a huge headache.

Yang Zhi also knew about the news that Guokeche had raked in billions of yuan in a single month.

They also know that Xiong Zheng, Xiong Fu, and Li Guangqiang are experiencing mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

On May 28th, Yang Zhi had a day off and flew directly to the mountain city.

Inside the meeting room, I met three people.

Other automakers have now begun producing electric vehicles.

Yang Yunsheng reiterated his previous statement: "If you're slow at one step, you'll be slow at every step."

Their sales volume is less than one percent of Guoke's, or more accurately, one-thousandth.

The reason is simple: Guokeche has a significant advantage in terms of price.

Secondly, it also holds the top position in terms of mileage.

Finally, in collaboration with Didi Chuxing, Guoke Electric Vehicle was launched. Using Guoke Electric Vehicle to drive for Didi can reduce Didi's commission rate to 20%, which is a boon for countless Didi drivers!

Even if not all Didi drivers use Guoke electric vehicles, Yang Yunsheng doesn't care.

After a year of development, Didi has over 30 million users, and over 3 million Didi drivers have registered.

Many of the cars booked by Guokeche were purchased by Didi drivers.

There's a saying that goes, "Buy early and save money early."

I'm not kidding, it's true that buying early saves money.

If you buy a Guoke electric car to drive for Didi next year, you might lose the down payment for a Guoke electric car.

For example, in terms of commission, if you earn more than 300 yuan a day, then 60 yuan will be deducted from your earnings. Over a year, that's 365 days multiplied by 60, which is more than 20,000 yuan.

The 20,000 yuan is just the commission; don't forget that the cars that drive for Didi now all run on gasoline.

A gasoline-powered car costs about 400 yuan to fill up.

A gasoline car can travel about 700 kilometers, and a single refueling costs 400 yuan!

For electric vehicles, a single charge costs twenty or thirty yuan. While it's not as fast as refueling, you can't run it 24 hours a day!
Many times, you also need to rest.

The car can be fully charged while you rest.

Unless a Didi driver is completely incompetent, they won't choose any other electric vehicle.

Seeing the bittersweet emotions of the "Boonie Bears" trio, Yang Yunsheng couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Have you made too much money and now you all feel it's hard to keep up?"

Xiong Zheng smiled wryly and said, "How could that be? The biggest problem for us right now is that we have just too many orders. We simply can't finish them all. Even if we expand our production lines, it won't be able to complete the orders in a short time."

Xiong Fu also said, "Originally, we acquired three production lines from Lifan. Now we plan to add three more to the original plan. But even so, we are still short of several production lines for our current orders. After discussion, we plan to expand to nine production lines by the end of this year."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yunsheng immediately refused.

"Can't do this!"

The three members of the "Boonie Bears" trio were stunned. Li Guangqiang asked in bewilderment, "President Yang, adding six more production lines would allow us to quickly resolve our order issues. Moreover, even next year, Guoke Electric Vehicles will still show a growth trend. We should press on with this momentum. Why are you suddenly deciding not to expand the production lines?"

Yang Yunsheng explained, “The electric vehicle industry is an emerging industry, at least in China. We can have a dominant position, but we cannot have a monopoly. In addition, although nine production lines can indeed solve the current order problem, you seem to have not considered that it is difficult to develop a second generation that surpasses the achievements of the first generation of Guoke in a short period of time. Furthermore, although a car is a consumable, it will break down after two or three years of use, unless there is a major accident, otherwise such a situation is unlikely to occur.”

After a pause, Yang Yunsheng stated the most important point.

"Another issue is that new energy electric vehicles are not like gasoline vehicles. The lifespan of an electric vehicle depends on the lifespan of its battery. Simply put, the battery is more expensive than the car itself. Our battery lifespan is estimated to be between fifteen and twenty years. Adding more production lines would solve the current predicament, but it would also waste a lot of financial and material resources."

A production line costs hundreds of millions.

Otherwise, how could Lifan Motors have sold billions of yuan worth of cars back then? Was it just because of its brand and immature gasoline car technology?

When Yang Yunsheng got to this point, the three members of the Boonie Bears team also fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, Xiong Zheng said, "Then, Mr. Yang, what should we do? You know, if we really make them wait for several months, they might not still choose our Guokeche!"

Yang Yunsheng had already thought this through.

"It's very simple: cooperate with domestic car manufacturers. We can't just let them have the scraps while we reap the rewards. We can use their production lines, pay them, and achieve a win-win situation for both sides. Otherwise, their expanded production lines would be useless!"

It's not that Yang Yunsheng had any vision, well, he did have some vision.

Under pressure from foreign investment and Sino-foreign joint ventures, many domestic car companies are actually in a precarious situation.

If technical assistance can be provided, or a win-win situation can be achieved, it will greatly help to improve domestic brands.

Moreover, Guoke Car's next research and development direction will enter the 2.0 era!

By then, the price of Guoke Cars will no longer be geared towards the general public, but rather towards the elite.

The price will reach 300,000 to 400,000.

After all, while you can't keep changing cars, there will always be people who need them.

What Yang Yunsheng wants to do in the future is to create a national brand. So how can a national brand be inferior to foreign cars in terms of price and performance?

What he needs is for Guokr to have a place in discussions about luxury cars in the future.

Otherwise, if he were to make a car, it would go against his original intention.

Yang Yunsheng is the chairman; whatever he says goes.

Moreover, the major policies he formulated have not yet made any mistakes.

Everything Guokr does follows Yang Yunsheng's lead. (End of Chapter)
