Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

"According to the usual practice, let me tell you why I..." Qu Li stood in the middle of the stage and started his New Year's Eve speech at the end of 2013.

"I'm a bit busy this year, and I don't have enough time to prepare. If I say something wrong, please forgive me!" After the voice fell, Qu Li slowly unfolded

"A lot of things happened in 2013..." A bunch of prompt words appeared on the screen, Qu Li looked at it, and he didn't have much interest in explaining.

"What impresses me the most is that the domestic economy seems to have entered a new cycle, and the traditional model seems unsustainable. A more accurate statement should be that the domestic economy is difficult to maintain a GDP growth rate of more than 8%, and a new economic model must be found. growth model."

"What is the traditional model? It can be summed up as a resource consumption economy. We create various commodities by consuming resources."

"All resources on the earth are limited, including human resources. However, people's desires are unlimited. We Chinese can't just satisfy food and clothing. We also want to achieve a well-off society of common prosperity and explore the unknown. Sea of ​​stars."

"But there has never been a way to satisfy unlimited desires with limited resources. All countries in the world want to develop for survival and life, so competition for resources is inevitable. There is no right or wrong. "

"But we humans, as intelligent creatures on earth, have clearly foreseen the dire consequences, so we naturally have to find a way to solve the problem, and walk out a path that is responsible for future generations and all mankind."

Qu Li explained other ideas (sustainable energy economy) step by step from a grand perspective. When it comes to environmental protection and carbon emissions, energy is a resource, an important support for the modern economy, and an important factor for the survival and development of human society. The foundation, the importance is self-evident.

"In the short term, humanity needs oil, gas and coal, but in the long term, we need to build a sustainable energy economy."

"To achieve this goal, we need to take three steps: the first is the acquisition of sustainable energy, including hydropower, geothermal, wind energy, and solar energy. In the long run, solar energy is the first choice, followed by wind energy..."

"The second is energy storage, because the generation of sustainable energy is intermittent, and I think the best way to store energy should be batteries."

"The third is the use of energy, using renewable energy to drive the existing grid, fully shifting to electric vehicles, in the industrial field...applying sustainable energy to aircraft and ships..."

"So what I said is feasible, and how much will it cost?" Qu Li revealed a list of "transformation of the earth", spending a total of 10 trillion US dollars to build 29TWH wind power generation projects and produce 237Twh batteries...

"10 trillion dollars seems like a lot, but it only accounts for about 10% of the total global GDP. Does it feel much easier? Changing the world and making the earth a better place is not so difficult..." Qu Li said with emotion

"Qiancheng Geometry will gradually transform into a pure electric vehicle company. This is what I have said a long time ago. We have also established a company called Honeycomb Energy to produce batteries, energy storage systems, and invest in photovoltaic power generation..."

"We still have a long way to go to truly realize the sustainable energy plan that transforms the earth. There may not be many people who can see this road clearly now, but I believe that more and more people will see it ten years later. I hope it's not too late then."

"For Qiancheng Geometry, a more realistic solution is to reduce costs and increase production capacity. After all, a car worth $100,000 is still too expensive for most consumers. What I want is not to establish a luxury electric car brand, but to Let pure electric vehicles replace fuel vehicles."

"From the cost analysis of electric vehicles, power batteries account for the largest proportion..."

"To reduce the cost of power batteries, in addition to technological progress, the most critical thing is the increase in demand. Large-scale industrial production can effectively reduce costs..."

"Then comes the whole vehicle production link. I think the essence of manufacturing competition is the competition of manufacturing capabilities, that is, the competition of factories." Qu Li is going to follow Musk's path, leaving him nowhere to go. Let's see who is better

"When I started building cars, I learned the lean manufacturing of Japanese Toyota, but before that, I first came into contact with smart phone manufacturing, and I knew about clothing manufacturing earlier, and I have my own views on supply chain management, zero inventory mode, etc. , and also discussed the feasibility of flexible manufacturing and on-demand production mode."

"Simply put, I don't think Toyota's lean manufacturing is the limit of car manufacturing. The advancement of information technology has made car manufacturing more feasible. Especially Jumei and Glory have a large number of excellent programmer engineers, which makes I have the ability to apply the latest information technology to traditional car manufacturing."

"We regard the automobile manufacturing plant as a product, a tool for manufacturing automobiles..." Qu Li talked about their super factory plan, which puts the four major processes of stamping, welding, painting, and assembly into a three-dimensional layout. Large-scale workshops, combined with integrated die-casting technology, reduce the number of vehicle parts and other measures.

"You can think of this as a super factory, or you can think of it as smart manufacturing. The name is not important, what is important is that you know that Qiancheng Geometry wants to build its own production and manufacturing system. It is a process that must be experienced to become great, and it is better to die splendidly than to live mediocrely..."

"Of course, the future is not so pessimistic. There is a high probability that we will make a profit this year, even if the profit may not be much."

"The ultimate goal of our super factory or smart manufacturing is to reduce manufacturing costs. We plan to reduce the cost of automobile production by 50% in 10 years." Qu Li continued to brag, giving more confidence to the public and future geometry shareholders

"The above has nothing to do with consumers. To put it simply, in the next five years, we will be able to produce and sell pure electric vehicles with a price of around US$50,000. Within 10 years, the annual sales of electric vehicles will increase from the current 20,000. Grow to 1 million vehicles."

"If we want electric vehicles to replace fuel vehicles, it is not enough to work hard in the future. We have companions on this road. Tesla, which made pure electric vehicles in Silicon Valley earlier than us, invited the CEO of this company, Musk. Come here and give everyone a surprise together!"

As Qu Li said, he moved Musk to the center of the stage and asked him to speak slowly so that the simultaneous translation and subtitles would appear in the live video simultaneously.

Musk complimented Qu Li a few words and introduced Tesla. Compared with Qu Li's lofty vision, some of his statements paled in comparison. None of this matters. Musk introduced the Tesla Model S and X one after another. At the end, Qu Li took the stage, and the two announced the opening of a total of about 400 pure electric vehicle patents...
