Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Quli's "Lighthouse Factory" plan may become a pilot project that the relevant departments will focus on. Their factory plan in Beijin is still not going well. Beijin has reserved a land of about 1,000 mu for the geometric electric vehicle factory, but fuel vehicles need to rearrange.

Beijin's automobile factories are concentrated in Shunyi and Huairou, and Quli wants to build a factory in Yizhuang to facilitate management. Anyway, they are all outside the fifth ring road, so it is not a big problem. But the relevant departments are too concerned about the future, so let him think about the future of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles. Is it really appropriate for him to expand the production capacity of fuel vehicles to 1 million?

Ten years later, global electric vehicle sales will account for about 10%, and domestic sales will exceed 30%. Perhaps by 2025, domestic new energy vehicle sales will account for more than 50%. So, is Qiancheng Motor going to increase the proportion of exports? Then go to Tianjing to build a factory! By the way, the Saab brand has been approved to enjoy domestic car treatment.

I thought the super factory would be the trump card that could convince the Beijin government, but I didn’t expect the Ministry of Industry and Communications to give Qu Li such a suggestion. Is it true that I don’t believe he can do it or is it a concern of overcapacity?

In fact, the relevant departments want to see domestic auto exports. As for the overcapacity of autos, it is a long-term phenomenon, and it is not a planned economy. The existence of industrialization and market competition will inevitably lead to overcapacity.

As the world's largest auto market, its export capacity lags far behind that of Germany and Japan. This is a sign that the domestic auto industry is large but not strong.

Qu Li is a fool. His ability to build a brand cannot be matched in China. Glory's overseas revenue exceeds that of all domestic companies. It is a choice worth looking forward to.

Rethinking the future of the future, Qu Li knew that only he could make decisions about this kind of thing, so he didn't discuss it with others.

"Our capacity expansion of fuel vehicles is concentrated in coastal port cities. We chose Ningbo instead of Hangzhou, Tianjing in the north, and Yangcheng in the south..." Qu Li called Lu Tao

"Why?" Lu Tao wondered that he still wanted to build a factory in Beijin before, but now he suddenly changed his mind

"We are going to give up fuel vehicles after all, and domestic support for pure electric vehicles will continue to increase, so..."

Geometry Automobile is a high-tech enterprise, and the actual tax burden may only be 5%. It was a green light to build a factory in Beijin before. This year, the central government has adjusted the subsidy for electric vehicles, which has dropped by 5%. However, the subsidy for geometric cars this year will be credited to the account according to last year's global sales in the second quarter, with more refunds and less subsidies.

In fact, the state pays you to develop new energy vehicles. Is it necessary for Qu Li to take the money and do nothing to make up for it? I dare not!

"How to choose a pure electric vehicle production base?"

"Beijin and Yangcheng are the main ones. The Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions will depend on the situation, so there is no rush." ​​Qu Li

In this way, the Qiancheng fuel vehicle production base has a production capacity of 400,000 units (SUV models) in Xingsha, 200,000 units in Yangcheng (Qiancheng Lantu coupe and CMA architecture models), 300,000 units each in Tianjing and Ningbo (CMA architecture models) ).

Geometric pure trams, Beijin has a production capacity of 100,000, Xingsha is planning 100,000, Yangcheng 300,000, Beijin will increase by 300,000, and other areas are to be determined. Will build a super factory!

Saab hybrid vehicles will use Ningde era batteries, and the factory site may be Xingsha or Ningbo, plus Hungary.

Lu Tao went to Ningbo, Qu Li came to Tianjing, and was warmly received by the local government.

After Google acquired Motorola, it sold all the factories and hired OEMs. The Tianjing factory took over part of the production capacity, including the models that the two parties had previously cooperated with. But this is Honor's factory after all, so all foundry cooperation expires this year.

Now the Tianjing factory mainly produces thousand yuan mobile phones for Jumei Ming mobile phones, and its own mobile phones are still handed over to the foundry until the smart manufacturing is successful, and the failure rate is lower than that of the foundry.

Officials from Tianjing and Qu Li came to the Glory factory to inspect, and talked about the great cause of intelligent manufacturing, which will be the beginning of China's manufacturing to win world prestige.

"Tianjing will fully support..."

It is useless to brag now, this is a private communication without media witness. Qu Li is afraid, he has been opening up a new path, the risk is very high, what if it fails?

Wouldn't it be nice to be conservative? Future Geometry can become one of the best independent brands in China.

"But I need to make it one of the best brands in the world. Our ultimate journey can only be the sea of ​​stars!" Qu Li replied

Qu Li is so self-confident and arrogant, he has never thought about joining the circle of domestic car companies, and he has never joined the China Entrepreneur Club, let alone formed his own circle.

The Fanxing Fund is not counted. This is the stage for him to find "comrades", and it is the public welfare and charity cause he will fight for the rest of his life.

The matter of building an automobile factory in Tianjing is easy to discuss. Many automobile companies, including Great Wall, have production bases here, and the automobile industry chain is complete. The reason why he is very enthusiastic about Qu Li is that apart from his status, it has something to do with the recommendation of the relevant department.

After talking about the general requirements, the investment scale, and discussing the intention, Qu Li flew back to Xingsha.

In Quli's plan, the total production capacity of Future Geometry exceeds 2 million vehicles.

"Is this goal too radical?" someone questioned

"We are doing it in batches and phases. It will take about three to five years to realize this plan. We also need to consider the development progress of the CMA architecture..."

At that time, it seems to be 2018. The era of electric vehicles is coming soon, and the production line of fuel vehicles can be transformed into plug-in hybrid vehicles.

If the overseas market can be successfully opened, even a production capacity of 2 million vehicles may not be enough. Qu Li really does not want to do hunger marketing!

Qu Li's decision will basically not change, the next step is to see how to implement it.

Qiancheng has increased the choice of SUV models in the price range of 100,000 to 200,000. For example, CS6 can have plus pro max, and can also have a champion version. CS8 can also have it, and the price will gradually increase to compete with joint venture SUVs.

For example, the Qiancheng CS8 Plus version launched this year is priced at around 250,000, and its monthly sales have exceeded 1,000. It wasn't great, but it met their expectations.

However, they still lack a fuel car with a price of more than 300,000. When the CMA architecture is realized, it is paired with Yundun C, which is CDC continuous variable damping, and a hydraulic active suspension control system. At that time, Qiancheng Motors should not have one. Car building is limited.

Now, we can only toss Qiancheng CS6 and CS8 back and forth, and derive four or five SUV models between 100,000 and 250,000.

"How much can they sell in a year?" Qu Li was a little worried about the effect of doing so.

In fact, the Great Wall Haval H6 is also playing like this. By 2016, it sold 580,000 units. Assuming that Qiancheng CS6 sold 500,000 units and Qiancheng CS8 sold 200,000 units, it is still far from his goal of 1 million.

"It still depends on the car. Qiancheng Lantu is a niche model. It is very difficult to sell more than 100,000 cars a year. It is still an ordinary family car that is energy-efficient and fuel-efficient."

"How is the progress of our second-generation engine, 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, and steel chain CVT gearbox in cooperation with Chery?" Qu Li

The power of the first-generation engine is not bad, but it is not good for energy saving and fuel saving. If you want to make a car, you have to upgrade the technology. Prioritize the use of steel chain CVT, and gradually replace the current AT gearbox for SUV models with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox.

"Chery agreed to cooperate with us to jointly develop a CVT gearbox dedicated to Qiancheng."

Qu Li is not surprised by this result. Chery's gearboxes and engines are supplied externally, but basically no other car companies use them.

Future Geometry doesn’t have this problem. Anyway, if you use someone else’s gearbox, find a better one, and maybe you can achieve mutual success!
