Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

As I said before, Qu Li’s practice in Future Geometry is to “work hard to create miracles”, which means he is not a start-up company. With his wealth and wealth, he gives salaries that are not commensurate with the employees and abilities of many departments.

In some departments that Qu Li can understand, fortunately, he can make adjustments in time. In the power battery department, he really doesn't understand anything, and can only watch them build.

This department has not been short of money since the first day of its establishment. It has the best treatment in the company and has made a lot of achievements. For example, the energy density of batteries has achieved the world's leading level, and the high-nickel 21700 batteries have also made great progress. , but there have been many problems. Qu Li stared at them for a year, but the mass production problem has not been effectively improved.

The key is that they are used to being idle, and they do things in a leisurely manner. Although the quality is guaranteed, it is inefficient. Although Qu Li said that quality is the first priority, Future Geometry is not a European and American company, so there is no way for them to waste so much time.

To put it bluntly, Future Geometry is more like a "rich second generation" starting a business. If you have not experienced hardships, you will naturally not know how to calculate carefully. Now Future Geometry has been losing money for more than 4 years in a row. Last year, the loss was only more than one billion. Under the background of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, we must do it now "Managing Escalations".

Qiancheng’s power battery department has become a self-financed “Honeycomb Energy”, which kicked off some people by reducing the base salary and increasing the floating bonus, streamlining the team and improving combat effectiveness.

In fact, not only Honeycomb Energy wants to re-take the "entrepreneurial road", but also the future, so he found Deng Weijiang to be the new CFO. On the premise of ensuring that the company's operations will not be greatly affected, he will improve some bad atmosphere within the company. "Cost reduction and efficiency increase".

Fortunately, Jumei has been doing this fine tradition of diligence and frugality, and Quli and the others have accumulated a lot of experience, so they can be targeted even if they change industries.

So after the annual meeting, the personnel department announced the possible adjustments after the year. Anyway, the bonus is given, and those who don't want to "struggle" can make preparations early, and they don't have to come back after the year. The bonus is to reward employees for their hard work in the past year, and "Hive Energy" has plunged this year. This is what capitalists do. They please you when you have no choice, and teach you how to behave if you have a choice.

There's no need for Qu Li to rush forward and go to Cheetah Motors to investigate and calm people's hearts. Of course, many people in their company don't know what happened until now. The flattened management that Qu Li promoted in Future Geometry has not been implemented in Cheetah Motors.

"Do you want to change it?" A manager with a peer

"It's not necessary, it just serves as a reference." Qu Li knows that his own factory is also a place of order, and the so-called equality is just formalism. He knows that Future Geometry has not entered a mature stage, and management has not formed its own system.

"The person responsible for Feiteng MPV has been dealt with..."

The overall condition of the Cheetah is good, and there are not many adjustments that need to be made. Qu Li took a quick look at it and found it to be pretty good. The other is the car wind tunnel. A comprehensive car wind tunnel has an investment of about 500 million yuan, which is roughly equivalent to the wind tunnel experiment cost of 28 new cars. To be a high-quality product, Future Geometry also needs to control costs. This project was canceled by Deng Weijiang, so it was invested by Huaguan and built in Beijin. The relevant departments are willing to provide subsidies.

Qiancheng Motors will expand its production capacity to 500,000 vehicles in Xingsha, and if it wants to build factories in other places, the local governments will not interfere. Although some costs were paid, this result is still commendable. The northwest, southwest, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and even the northeast all need to build factories. Not to mention local protection, but only considering transportation costs, they all need to build factories nationwide.

"The key for us is whether the new model can be successful, whether to break the current price range, and the sales volume of Qiancheng CS8 above 200,000 can only be said to be poor." Deng Weijiang disagrees with Qu Li's drastic factory construction plan, although both are only 100,000 Production capacity planning, but the entire investment scale is not small.

"So the length of the modified car is increased from 4.6m to 4.8m..."

"Why not sell B-class cars directly?"

This question is a bit silly, can you make it and sell it? The accumulation of future technology has not been completed, and the rich are not fools, so they can't pay for Qu Li's feelings.

"This year's new Qiancheng CS8 only sells for 150,000 to 200,000 yuan with front-wheel drive, and 200,000 to 250,000 yuan for the extended PLUS version with front four-wheel drive."

With Qu Li's plan like this, the specific price will not be so regular, there will be some parts, some parts and some crosses.

"Does this increase consumer choice?"

"We have added a new model." Qu Li quibbles

Qu Li didn't look at Qiancheng's engine and gearbox department, since he couldn't see anything anyway. The new engine will be used in conjunction with the 7DCT wet dual-clutch under development. Prior to this, the new Cheetah will use the dual-clutch gearbox first.

The matter of Xingsha came to an end for the time being. Qu Lifei went to Beijin to attend another annual meeting. People from Geocar and Xinghe Power would go to Glory to eat and drink. Of course, this is only temporary. It is more comfortable to be in your own company and be with your own people.

Pengcheng’s drone company manages the self-balancing vehicles, Pentax cameras and other departments. Wang Tao is in charge. He has a lot of autonomy, including deciding whether to participate in the annual meeting. This time he came ahead of schedule.

"Why don't you ask me if I have any new products when you are giving a New Year's Eve speech?" Wang Tao asked Qu Li as soon as he met

"I don't want to put pressure on you. Our drones, including patents and markets, account for more than 70% of the world. You have done a good job."

"You don't need to think about this, you just have to do your own thing..." Wang Tao

"..."

Qu Li was a little hard to accept, was he being taught a lesson?

"This is our new generation of Phantom 1. It has the perfect combination of top flight control technology and professional aerial camera technology. The key is that most of our spare parts can be made in China..." Wang Tao introduced his new product

Honor's previous drones were not priced based on cost. As a high-tech product in a niche market, even if it sells for two or three thousand dollars, the price/performance ratio has always been the highest. And this spirit Phantom1 not only has good enough performance, but the price can be reduced to $999. Of course, if it is paired with a Pentax camera and made into a top-of-the-line model, the price may double.

As for the cost of the drone, what to say? In a certain year, DJI’s annual revenue was 23.9 billion, and its net profit was 20 billion. In addition to production costs, the 3.9 billion should also include employee benefits and other expenses. so what? Don't think about how high the cost of the drone is, but how much it can sell.

Honor's drone sales in 2011 exceeded 100 million US dollars, and last year 200 million US dollars? Maybe, it’s not important, Honor drones can be sold not only to ordinary consumers, but also to film and television professionals. The price of this customized product is relatively high, and there are agricultural plant protection and so on.

Anyway, the Honor drone is the strongest in the world. It has flown into the battlefield, into the White House, into the eyes of more and more consumers, and into Zhongnanhai together with Qu Li.
