1117. Chapter 1117 People are old and their hearts are not old (4K)

"Mr. Yu, we just talked about you, Xia Wei. We really said Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be there."

"Haha, I'm not Cao Cao. Today's party, I'm just here to eat, chat with old friends, and catch up with old friends." Yu Chengdong said lightly, and then smiled and greeted the friends who came up. A handshake.

The Gao Zong of Guangzhou Bentian has a special Mediterranean style, so it is very obvious in the crowd.

It's just that his pace was still a step slower, Mr. Zhang of Siris had already got up early and greeted Yu Chengdong.

It's hard for the post-60s boss to compete with a group of young people born in the 70s and 80s.

Fifty-nine-year-old Jack Ma watched the group of car company executives so "excited" from the sidelines, and didn't say much, just applauded.

This year is a critical year for Daxia Zhizao. Under the normal situation that technology companies have been repeatedly targeted, the life of Daxia's auto market is much better than that of mobile phone manufacturers.

Although there will be special Guo Jia raising tariffs on the products of Daxia car companies, but so far no major country has blatantly pulled the brakes on Daxia car companies.

Now Daxia car companies do not have the weakness of chip shortage. Even because of the rise of Xiaxin Technology in the high-end field, the car-standard chips that mainly use the 10-nanometer process have ushered in a period of great production capacity explosion and a great leap forward in performance.

In the fierce competition, some car companies have sudden thunderstorms, and some companies have cross-border car manufacturing. In addition, the smart ecology has expanded from mobile phones and home appliances to the second home of adults-cars, new energy batteries, motor technology leaps, Daxia Automobile Sales have shown explosive growth, and most of the market share of foreign capital has been cut off. At the same time, some of Daxia's own brands have also taken away the market share of many joint venture car companies.

The reconstruction of the automobile industry is coming quietly. The big reshuffle of the entire industry is comparable to the transition from feature phones to smartphones. The structural pattern of old companies controlling the right to speak has been broken, and a new big summer pattern has been born.

Under the leadership of some bigwigs, the top executives of enterprises who intend to compete for the market again naturally have various gatherings.

Today's gathering in a Chinese-style courtyard in a suburb of Suzhou and Hangzhou is currently the largest gathering of high-level car companies in Daxia. The cooperative product of , was invited to enter this party.

Yu Chengdong looked around. Most of the people present at the meeting today are senior executives of joint venture car companies, such as Brilliance Baoma, SAIC Dazhong, Skoda, Guangqi Fengtian, Yanjing Hyundai, Dayue Kia and other joint venture car companies. All have representatives.

These joint venture car companies are joint ventures between Daxia car companies and foreign car companies. Through equity investment and cooperation, some foreign models will be produced in Daxia, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing costs and introducing technology.

In the past, the market of big summer car companies was best for foreign capital, followed by joint ventures, and low-end for local self-owned brands. Now, with the advancement of self-owned brands, both joint ventures and foreign car companies have lost countless shares in the new round of market innovation. That means layoffs, salary cuts, and hindered development.

After some exchanges, Jack Ma walked up to everyone very naturally, put his hands together, and said with a calm expression: "I once said that it will be more difficult every year in the future, and I believe everyone has a deep understanding these years.

How to seek opportunities and maintain our own competitiveness in the new competitive landscape is a problem we must solve.

Ultimately, technology is important, but it is not the only technology. Even if it is as strong as Kyushu Technology, Gu Qing cannot let Kyushu Technology gain a foothold in Daxia and sell its products anywhere in the world.

Products need empowerment, operations need soil and connections, and the most important thing for a company is autonomy!

At present, the strength of both the passenger car market and the special industrial vehicle market is based on the material supply channels of Xiaxin Technology and Kyushu Alliance, and in this system, a young man who is not yet thirty is pinching The lifeblood of all.

Kyushu Technology has always been prejudiced against joint ventures and foreign-funded enterprises in recent years, and has blindly helped local enterprises. Didn't everyone build factories in Daxia and provide jobs and employment for Daxia? Isn't our joint venture Daxia Enterprise?

It is necessary to have a more complete industrial chain layout and the leadership of technical patents for core components. It is necessary to establish a more robust industrial chain supply to achieve a breakthrough in the core technology of automotive software and hardware that bypasses Kyushu's technological restrictions.

..."

Jack coded in the crowd "gesticulating and making generous speeches", and even waving his arms a little excitedly when his speech got excited.

Yu Chengdong was still a little interested at the beginning, thinking that there might be some interesting topics in today's party, but seeing these people come on stage after you sing, and bring the usual habit of holding meetings in enterprises to this party, those who are floating on the water Plans and plans may sound interesting, but when you actually think about them calmly, you will find that these plans are full of loopholes, and they may not even have a foundational gene.

When Mr. Li, the vice president of Xiaopeng Automobile, spoke, Yu Chengdong even covered his mouth.

He was afraid that he would laugh out loud and embarrass everyone.

"Since the establishment of Xiaopeng Automobile nine years ago, we have made a lot of explorations in terms of products, designs, models, etc. Judging from the results at this stage, our product strategy direction is correct. Since Xiayin Star Calendar 1021, Xiaopeng Automobile has been The leader of the new energy vehicle track, in the past three years, we have completed the implementation of the technology of full-scene memory parking, high-speed NGP intelligent assisted driving, and urban NGP intelligent assisted driving.

In terms of infrastructure construction, we have deployed a self-built supercharged network, which not only enhances the user's sense of exclusivity and the smooth use experience of plug-and-play. There will be more than 1,000 brand supercharge stations.

The current difficulties mainly lie in common problems in the industry, such as the inability to increase chip specifications in a short time, and the pressure on the battery and other supply chains. However, these are not major problems. After all, our current resources are sufficient for us to use. "

...

Hearing the end, when it was his turn to speak, Yu Chengdong didn't have much expectations, but he still spoke seriously and concluded a few sentences.

"Independent whole industrial chain is not an easy road, Kyushu Technology is doing it, Biati is doing it, everyone sitting here is also working hard in this direction.

At present, Xiawei does not have so many resources to develop in this direction. Although we will not directly build cars no matter how we explain to the outside world, everyone seems to be unconvinced about this, but there is a very important thing in our afternoon culture. The spirit also applies to all our business lines, which is to leave the complexity to ourselves and the simplicity to our customers. This is actually the same logic as the car factory earns a lot of money, and we Xia Wei earns a small amount of money.

Our cooperation model between Xiawei and Siris can reflect this. We are joint research and development. Xiawei and Siris provide parts for the car together, and we also work together from design, quality, user experience, overall quality control, and OTA. Understand the needs of consumers in terms of version upgrades, etc., and continue to upgrade software.

During the years of cooperation, the quality and capability of Seris vehicles have been greatly improved, and the market share has achieved leapfrog growth.

Our Xiawei people are good at research and quality experience. We will not build Xiawei brand cars, but we will build Xiawei's car ecology.

If you are willing to cooperate with Xia Wei..."

If the previous speeches of the senior executives of the car companies were all about putting money on their faces, and even saying that the halved share was progress, then Yu Chengdong's speech was very "simple".

He took out the signboards of the good days of Siris Motors in recent years, and promoted a wave of his own cooperative business, and he left the stage very "sensibly".

And without waiting for the party to end, Yu Chengdong waved goodbye to everyone.

"The company has some urgent matters to deal with." This one-size-fits-all reason stunned the expressions of all the executives of the joint venture car company. Even Jack Ma, who had been smiling all the time, was stunned for a moment, and said: "Here An office room can also be provided, it’s not easy for everyone to get together and chat today, so why don’t you play for a while?”

Talking about playing for a while, gatherings, chatting and entertainment are all secondary, and the most important thing is to unite the circle and select friends.

Facing Jack Ma, although Yu Chengdong also expressed apology, his words were not weak.

"This is really not an office matter, but some problems to be solved on the R\u0026D side. You also know that Xiawei is currently developing in many fields. If the R\u0026D problems are stagnant for a minute, the wasted resources will be a second Zhong Wan started."

After saying this, Yu Chengdong waved his hands to apologize to everyone, then turned around and left the party.

"Oh, let's go now?"

"Why don't they leave? Xia Wei's smart driving and smart cockpit are the current optimal solution technologies."

"I heard that Xia Wei has continued to invest money in the semiconductor industry for the past few years. While using the chips manufactured by Xiaxin Technology, he made semiconductors by himself. It is really too independent. This kind of thankless thing. He Xia Wei can Can it catch up with Kyushu technology within ten years? Impossible."

"Hahaha, what you said, old Zhang, who else in Bluestar can develop a commercially available carbon-based chip? That kid Gu Qing has applied for a bunch of basic patents, directly blocking the new research and development of carbon-based chips. 90% of them, and there are still a bunch of high-end technologies that have not applied for patents, waiting for others to bite the bait.”

"Hey, this Kyushu Technology is really speechless. They were able to install solid-state batteries on their glasses two years ago, but after waiting for so many years, they still haven't

Applying solid-state batteries to other fields and detaining the technology to this point, we just want to enter his Kyushu Alliance, but we are too lazy to enter. "

The executives of a group of joint venture car companies were discussing like village aunts, comparing Xiawei's R\u0026D layer with Kyushu Technology's R\u0026D layer from time to time, saying that the students in key colleges and universities in Daxia now have high expectations and low salaries. If the price is too low, they won't come, because they are being supported by companies such as Kyushu Technology and Xia Wei so that they can't see the situation clearly.

The senior executives of Siris Automobile sat in it with a face of embarrassment, listening to these complaints and discussions, if it was seven or eight years ago, they would have to finish the party no matter what, and by the way, they had more exchanges with the CEOs of several big companies and Jack Ma .

But now that it has been deeply tied to Xia Wei, the business of Siris in the past two years is better than that of these joint venture car companies at the party today. There are many orders in hand, and the back is hard. Even seeing Jack's code, he dared to nod and refuse to keep his good intentions. .

As soon as the executives of Siris left, it was like the whistle of the stadium sounded, and the executives of several car companies also left the party one after another.

At nine o'clock in the middle of the night, the high-level gathering of the Daxia auto industry led by Jack Ma left only the top executives of more than a dozen auto companies.

Outside the window, the rain in Suzhou and Hangzhou has not stopped. Even if there is air conditioning in the room, it still makes Jack Ma feel upset and irritable.

No matter what kind of industry I went to, the senior management of leading companies had to deal with it.

But now that they return to China, all walks of life seem to have changed.

Small businesses that were dismissed at the beginning have now become the mainstay of the industry. The companies that my company once invested in turned out to be yellow and yellow, declining and declining, and even the senior executives sent out by the company have become street rats.

"It's all because of that damn young man!"

Jack Ma shook his head and looked out of the window. The face of the young man seemed to be reflected on the glass window. He was so young, energetic, and handsome.

When I wanted to invest in Kyushu Technology, this young man refused me with a smile on his face, forgetting who put his company's products on Taobei?

If it weren't for the fierce competition between the Jindong family, Pinxi family and his own Ahri family at that time, this young man would have been banned by himself to the point of begging for mercy.

With emotion, Jack Ma finally took out today's cake under the hopeful gazes of the joint venture car executives: "We, Ari, are taking the lead in this project, and the amount of funds to be raised is hundreds of billions of Xiayuan. The initial start-up funds are According to the progress of the project and the business performance of each enterprise, the investment will be increased in batches in the future.

During the progress of the project, in addition to being responsible for coordinating various projects, Ahli will also help introduce foreign technology, help cooperative companies to publicize abroad, and even help everyone invest in some foreign regions to avoid tax increases.

In one year, as long as the initial results can be seen, there will be follow-up funds and technical assistance. When it is actually mass-produced, we will promote it on the whole network. "

When Jack Ma threw out his weight, the atmosphere at the party was quiet, and then it became noisy like a radio drama suddenly had a sound.

"One year? As long as there is capital investment, we kids can get a new car this year!"

"Introducing new technologies? The investment we need now is probably more than one billion yuan in one phase."

"How should the technology supply and cooperation model of this alliance be promoted?"

Money can turn ghosts around, even the joint venture car companies that used to make crazy money in Daxia are willing to bend their waists for five buckets of rice at this time, and they have expressed their own doubts.

Seeing how excited these people were in front of him, Jack Ma smiled slightly, feeling that the old days were returning.

I have more foreign capital and technology this time...
