Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Qu Li completed the finishing work of the New Year's Eve speech in Yangcheng, and flew to Beijin without waiting for Jumei's financial report to be released, waiting for the CEO of GM to visit and visit Glory and Qiancheng.

Perhaps because of too much information, although the New Year's Eve speeches are very popular, they are not concentrated, which is equivalent to spreading the influence, which doesn't matter, it can expand his sphere of influence.

For example, some people analyzed why Qu Li mentioned building rockets several times in a row, but did not actually establish such a company. Is it because he lacks money or time?

It wasn't until the New Year's Eve speech in 2012 that he finally had the answer. Qu Li himself said that his way of doing things is: "first principles plus empowerment" and "Context, not Control". Just like Jumei and Glory, a technical helm is needed .

These words are true. Jumei Glory has no shortage of talents, but there is no aerospace talent. Musk founded SpaceX with top rocket experts like Tom Muller. New liquid fuel rocket engine.

It's a pity that Qu Li wants to build rockets in China, and there is a high probability that there will be no crooked people in key positions. Just like SpaceX, many core positions can only be joined by Americans. Otherwise, he would have poached people from the United States and Russia to work.

There are no domestic rocket experts outside the system, and from various sources, they seek stability within the system and have ideas for technological progress, but they have always avoided risky innovations, so there must be many unknown Genius is buried.

Qu Li actually has many ways to recruit people, but what he wants is not employees, but partners, technical leaders with ideas and courage. If you don't even have the courage to take the initiative to find him, how can you hope that this person has the ability to face more difficult challenges in space exploration?

Qu Li's thoughts must be biased, but in the face of the unknown, what can he do? There is still a path with a high success rate for electric vehicles. In terms of rocket launches, he has no other advantages other than money, so he will naturally be cautious.

Zhang Qinan had some complaints about Qu Li. Some of Qu Li's ideas in his New Year's Eve speech were very amateurish. It seemed very unprofessional to say so in public. What Zhang Qinan didn't know was that Qu Li was already dissatisfied with him because of this incident.

Even so, Qu Li didn't think about changing people. Radical and conservative are not compliments. Qu Li just happened to know the correct answer, so he was so radical.

However, talented people with ideas should continue to be introduced. When Qu Li bragged to the leaders in Yangcheng, he told the leaders that there were 500 elite engineer teams, of which more than 100 were in Silicon Valley and were supported by Glory. About 200 people belonged to Qiancheng Automobile.

The design of "City in the Sky" has caused a lot of discussion on the Internet. Many people think that Qu Li has been deceived. This kind of building is unrealistic and difficult. Moreover, the renderings are just PS. Just look at it and don't take it seriously.

However, this design that perfectly integrates technology and art has attracted many people's appreciation, "It makes sense for the Honor mobile phone to be so expensive."

"A group of fools recharged Qu Li..."

"Ahem!" This person went to the wrong set, and most netizens still envy the employees of Jumei Glory and the two companies.

Entrepreneurs like Qu Li are simply outliers in the domestic market. Ma Yun is a teacher and likes to educate people; Li Yanhong and Ma Huateng are engineers, low-key and honest; Standing out from the crowd; Zhang Chaoyang has been in the entertainment industry, but after all, he is not reassuring; Shengtian, the former richest man in the country, has some ideas. Those who make games look down on games, but Chinese people look down on them...

In short, even if you look for well-known entrepreneurs in China several times, people like Qu Li are extremely scarce resources. The success of Jumei, especially Glory, has given Qiancheng Auto a unique brand bonus.

This is not what Qu Li said. Some netizens said: "I can't say what is so good about driving Qiancheng Motors. I just feel that it is different from other car companies."

"Beyond the ordinary life" is the brand slogan of Qiancheng Motors. Originally, it wanted to sell a magic car like Wuling Hongguang. Qu Li really didn't realize that Wuling, a national magic car that grew up with a generation, would be LOW. If the product strength is enough , the electric vehicle market should not be absent in the future. Speaking of fantasy, it is like the "Five Emperors' Coin" composed of five copper coins. Wuling Hongguang, a national sacred car with a unique temperament, may itself have a certain amount of luck.

It's a pity that they broke up with Cheetah Motors. Because of positioning problems, Qiancheng Motors gave up the idea of ​​competing with Wuling for luck, and now it has to make its own way.

The price of Qiancheng Geometry is higher than that of Tesla Model S, but the user experience is actually similar. There are many similarities, such as frameless doors, panoramic sunroof, streamlined body, and large touch screen. Tesla is 17 inches, and Qiancheng is 15 inches. Inch, use BOE.

The advantage of Qiancheng Automobile lies in the software. Tesla’s large screen often crashes, and the system optimization ability is obviously not as good as Android, which is the glorious KOS. In terms of human-computer interaction, there is also the glorious Klun in the future. Is it called Kunlun on the car? The two pronunciations seem to be very similar? There is also the glorious ADAS advanced assisted driving in the future.

Now after the upgrade, it has been re-divided. The main reason is that the battery is divided into two capacities of 85KW and 60KW, and there are two models of comfort version and performance version respectively.

Therefore, the price has to be adjusted. The most expensive signature version of the Tesla Model S, the high-performance model, is priced at $97,900, and the other is $87,900.

Qiancheng Geometry also released 1,000 high-performance limited numbered versions, and users who pre-booked can purchase them at a price of US$99,000 and RMB 660,000 after imperial subsidies.

Therefore, the price of Qiancheng Geometry includes subsidies. The 85KW performance version is priced at US$89,800 in the United States, and the comfort version is US$7.98; the 60KW model is 59,800 and 69,800 respectively. The activation of ADAS requires an additional fee, and a three-month free trial period is provided.

The above is the price after the government subsidy. The minimum price of Future Geometry has dropped to less than 400,000 yuan. However, some cities in China do not have local subsidies, only the national subsidy of 60,000 yuan. The price will be much higher.

At this time, BYD has released an electric car called E6 with an official price of 369,800 yuan. It was first sold as a taxi in Pengcheng. In a sense, BYD was supported by various subsidies.

Later, many people claimed that BYD had an electric car in 2008. Let’s take a look at this E6 launched in October last year.

At this time, the market value of BYD exceeded 70 billion, and the market value of Tesla was about 2.8 billion US dollars and 18 billion. Although the market value cannot fully represent the strength of a company, seeing such a comparison of numbers, combined with the performance of the two companies ten years later, it should be difficult to say that the boatman is better than Musk, right?

A few days after Qu Li returned to Beijin, he announced the official pricing of Qiancheng Geometry on the official website, including specific parameters and production plans: "In order to ensure delivery, every employee of Qiancheng Auto who does not take vacation during the Spring Festival can get three Double the wages, invite three family members to Beijin for a reunion, and Qiancheng Auto will be responsible for the round-trip transportation, accommodation and insurance expenses.”

"We will pay 120% of our efforts and sincerity. We have less than 1,000 non-refundable prepayment users. Everyone can choose to buy a numbered future geometry 85KM performance version with a price increase. The car configuration is basically the same, but there is a lifetime Free ADAS service and some small gifts..."
