Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

The car habits in Europe are different from those in China. There is a huge market for mini cars and small cars, while the domestic competition is fiercest for compact cars. The other is driving experience and power attributes. After all, there is no speed limit on high speeds in Germany.

The biggest advantage of the Saab AION is fuel economy, but it is normal for electric vehicles to perform poorly at high speeds, and the power is just like that. It is still a medium-sized car, and generally speaking, it is not suitable for Europe.

Besides, the CMA architecture covers small to medium-sized cars. Fuel vehicles do not have rear drive, and rear drive vehicles are driven by electric motors. The excellence of the Swing architecture is not natural, but the result of countless choices and abandonment. Toyota's TNGA architecture covers all models, from fuel to pure electric...

Lantu Chasing Light is developed by a European team, Saab AION is a Sino-European cooperation, Lantu Fuguang is mainly developed by a domestic team, and there are many troublesome things, such as standard issues. Fuyao's structure is designed according to European standards, so you can't change it when you return to China?

Although the Saab hybrid is a CMA architecture, it is actually an E-CMA. The gap between fuel and electric is still a bit bigger, and it is not forcibly integrated. Therefore, fuel vehicle factories and hybrid vehicle factories cannot be mixed.

What about the factory in Yangcheng designed according to the CMA Fuyao structure? The world's most advanced digital simulation technology is applied, and the automation rate is very high. Adjustments have been made in electronics, electricity, machinery, materials, automation, logistics, etc., and the two cars at the front and back of the same production line in the factory have different colors and different configurations. But the quality can be kept consistent.

Not only that, assuming that it is necessary to change from Lantu Chasing Light to Lantu Fuguang, the traditional automobile production line needs 3 months to debug, and they only need one week. This is a real Industrialization 4.0 factory. The four major manufacturing processes of automobiles, stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly, are all completed in one factory, but the area is a bit large, and the logistics cost is a bit high. It is not yet the super factory that Qu Li dreamed of. .

The Qiancheng Yangcheng factory has invested more than 10 billion. Even a big man like Qu Li who doesn't like to consider investment costs to make decisions feels that it is not an easy decision to build a factory in Europe, and he still needs to think again.

Assuming that a car has a net profit of 10,000, it needs to sell 1 million cars to recover the cost. However, the factory of Qiancheng Geometry has a production capacity of more than 300,000 cars a year. If the production capacity is full, the cost can be paid back in more than three years. It all depends on the sales volume, but Qu Li has no confidence to achieve such a good result in Europe.

Therefore, it is impossible for Hungary in the European Union to have a Gigafactory 1.0 version. It can only be a traditional factory model. As for the cooperation between Qiancheng Geometry and Opel, it can still be promoted.

The cooperation between Qiancheng Geometry and GM is not only for the procurement of power batteries, but also for the joint development of pure electric and hybrid vehicles in the European market. In fact, Geometry teaches GM pure electric vehicle technology, and GM teaches Qiancheng fuel vehicle technology. However, everyone agrees on the location. in Europe.

The technology of cooperation is also within the scope of last year's geometric open patent, and those further technologies such as adjusting the electronic and electrical architecture are not included. In addition, Qiancheng Motors has been authorized by GM for some patents, ranging from fuel to hybrid vehicles.

The cooperation between the two companies was carried out "secretly". After all, no one wants to let the outside world know that they may not be able to do something in certain aspects. However, there are too many people involved in the cooperation, and it is unknown how long this news can be "hidden".

This cooperation will end when GM's new car is developed. Qiancheng Motor only needs technical support in areas that require long-term accumulation.

Qu Li came to Europe to deal with various "intractable problems", such as meeting with Qiancheng's dealers, discussing the changes brought about by the development of electric vehicles to the auto industry, and recruiting auto design talents.

Although the design team of Qiancheng Geometry is excellent, they are not top talents after all. The rise of Hyundai, Geely, and BYD has a lot to do with designers. In the process of purchasing a car, ordinary people first look at the appearance, and the hardware configuration is similar in all aspects. Next, look at the appearance and accessories.

Qiancheng Motors has broken the technical ceiling, and now it has to make up for the exterior design ceiling, which is related to the aesthetics of the company. A company has formed a corporate culture for a long time, and employees trained under this system naturally have the aesthetics of corporate competence.

But at a certain stage, the more excellent the designer, the more unique his own aesthetics. Qu Li will have the possibility to recruit top designers from European manufacturers, such as Walter de Silva, design director of Volkswagen Group. He saw that traditional cars were going downhill, and wanted to ask for new changes, and electric cars were the best choice.

Qu Li met him in person and gave him enough sincerity. He talked about Glory’s successful basic foundry model, and that China owns almost all industrial categories in the world: “What you want, except for a very few high-tech products, as long as it is the earth’s Anything that can be produced in the world can be produced in China, and the quality is guaranteed to be cheaper..."

Walter de Silva seems to be interested in starting a business, but it is too difficult to do a good job in electric vehicles in Europe. Wouldn't it be easier to succeed with the help of China's supply chain?

"You can go to China to investigate..." Qu Li gave him an idea, and the two then chatted about Qu Li's requirements for the design and the thoughts he wanted to express.

"There is a fish in the north, and its name is Kun..." Qu Li introduced "Zhuangzi Xiaoyaoyou". Kun, a big fish, grows and transforms into a peng, just like a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly. This process represents the Chinese nation. After nearly two centuries of sinking, it has returned to the world stage.

"My other daydream is that human civilization may have entered a new turning point. The development of artificial intelligence may be faster than everyone imagined. You should be able to see autonomous driving in your lifetime. Our use of energy..."

"What I want to say is that we will eventually rush out of the earth and go to the universe. This may be a process in which human beings break out of cocoons and become butterflies, or transform from kuns into rooks and spread their wings..."

"The car logo of Future Geometry can be regarded as wings that are soaring..." Qu Li showed him a cartoon by the way, which is the animation CG of the big kun going out to sea and turning into a big roc

"Then why isn't the name of your company Kunpeng?" Walter asked.

"Because it's too complicated to explain. We are a global brand for mass consumers. The geometric lines have a sense of technology, so..."

In fact, Kunpeng’s brand name has been registered long ago, but it belongs to Galaxy Power, and it can be used in both rocket engines and spaceships.

Walter looked at Qu Li. This entrepreneur from China also has a great reputation in Europe and the United States. Some media said he was the best young entrepreneur, some said he was the most outstanding entrepreneur, and some said he was the youngest entrepreneur. of the world's richest man.

To be able to create such a miracle, perhaps Qu Li was part of the miracle. It shouldn't be a bad choice to work with such a person!
