Technology overlord starts with new energy vehicles

After arranging how the factory will operate during the Chinese New Year, it will officially enter the holiday state.

It's time to go home and go to work, and Xu Yifan is also going to go home to visit his parents in this life.

At the same time, the entire motherland has entered a busy Spring Festival travel season.

Countless people from the mainland went to work in the developed coastal areas, and the working people returned to their hometowns one after another during this period of time.

The train stopped at the railway station of this small fifth-tier city, and pulled his suitcase out of the crowded train station.

After a lapse of one year, Wang Yuhui finally returned to his hometown, Jiangzhou City.

Like most migrant workers who go out to work, after a year of busy work, they only have about half a month of vacation.

Go back to your hometown to visit your parents and relatives, and connect with friends you haven't seen for a long time.

The difference is just that everyone does different jobs.

Some people entered the factory to drive screws, and some became corporate executives.

And Wang Yuhui is neither a factory screwdriver nor an executive of a company. He is just a small employee in the product department of a small domestic automobile company.

Standing on the streets of my hometown, after a year, everything in this small city of my hometown seems both familiar and strange.

I haven't seen it for a year, and several high-rise buildings have been built outside the train station. Although there is still a big gap between them and big cities, they are not as down and out as they were a few years ago.

The street shops have changed slightly, but they still look familiar.

After looking at the development of the city for a while, Wang Yuhui's eyes were attracted by the small cars parked outside the train station.

"What's up with the cars parked on the side of the road?"

A Kyushu mini was parked on the side of the road outside the train station, and an old man next to him was chatting with a few other old men, while warmly greeting the passengers returning home.

"Little brother, do you want to take a car?"

"Is there anyone who goes to the Raft Bridge? It only costs five yuan!"

"Where are you going, little brother? My car is cheap!"

"Little sister, give me the suitcase, just put it in the back!"

The first large-scale new energy black cars appeared!

Taking advantage of the high flow of people during the New Year, some more thoughtful old men drove their cars to go out to do business.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be done during the New Year like this, when the flow of people is large.

At this stage, even smart phones are still in their infancy, and of course there is no online car-hailing, and there is no shortage of taxi business, which can be regarded as convenient for some passengers returning home.

And because of battery life and slow charging, I can't run a few times a day, and I can earn dozens of yuan to subsidize my family at most.

In no hurry to go home, Wang Yuhui stood on the side of the road and carefully looked at these models that he had never seen before.

As an employee of the product department of an automobile company, naturally, Wang Yuhui pays more attention to all kinds of automobiles.

The product department, mainly engaged in the work, formulates the annual product development plan for the company's new products, and completes the tasks according to the plan.

Communicate with the sales department of the company's existing products, conduct sales tracking, update and maintain products in a timely manner according to market feedback, make products adapt to market demand, and ensure the company's leading position, etc.

To put it bluntly, it is to find and design a product for the company that can adapt to the market, sell well, and make the company make money.

"It's a bit like a Japanese k-car model. The shape design is really good. It's surprisingly pleasing to the eye at first glance, even better than most domestic models!"

"Is it the design language of a foreign brand? It doesn't look like it.

Although it is similar to some models, it is smaller than most of the sizes, and I have never seen such a model in my memory! "

"Why don't you have a license?"

"What brand is this, and I haven't seen it in any car brand."

"A small car factory without car production qualifications?"

"Why are there so many models of the same model here? There are more than a dozen of them in the train station alone, and some of them are pulling people away, and some are waiting for passengers here."

All of a sudden, Wang Yuhui's mind was full of question marks, and he wanted to find answers to these questions.

If you know the answer, maybe next year's work will be easy!

The product department is responsible for formulating the model production plan, so it must find a car that meets the market demand and can bring sales to the model.

The simplest thing is to go to the road to see which car sells better, why this car sells so well, and what is the core reason.

Is it because the joint venture brand has its own technology and has accumulated word-of-mouth sales?

Or, what are the unique highlights in the model design to attract a certain type of consumers.

Finding models with good sales and figuring out why the sales are good, so as to imitate manufacturing, is also one of the breakthrough points of the product departments of many car companies.

For example, the famous BYD in the future!

The brilliant achievements in the future are inseparable from the F3 model launched in 2005.

This model was built by BYD through a 1:1 replica of the Toyota Corolla.

It is full of temptation to buy a car that looks exactly the same at less than half the price of the Toyota Corolla, and even some 4S stores even give a Toyota logo as a gift!

From 2005 to the end of production in October 2020, the BYD F3 model has reached a total sales volume of 3 million vehicles.

It is also because this enduring model has brought BYD a steady stream of capital flow and laid the foundation for the future of the first brand of new energy vehicles.

And if there is no such model, whether it can live to the end of the official subsidy for the development of new energy is a problem, let alone have the funds to develop hybrid and new energy electric vehicle technology.

The success of BYD's F3 model is indispensable.

Standing on the sidelines and observing for a long time, Wang Yuhui saw a little sign of it.

"First of all, almost all the people who drive are elderly people. Well, among the thirty or so observation targets, there are two middle-aged people, which shows that the market is not just for the elderly."

"The shape design is also good, durable and square."

"Although the distance is relatively far, I can't hear it very clearly, but when I passed by several times, I didn't hear the sound of the engine, but the sound of the motor."

"This is no ordinary car!"

"I can't see what's left for the time being, but even though I can't see it, I can ask!"

Pulling his suitcase, Wang Yuhui walked towards a Kyushu mini soliciting passengers.

After Wang Yuhui's observation, the driver seemed to be very talkative, hoping to give himself a good answer!

"Master, can you go to Sunjiawan?"

The old man who was chatting with his companion turned around and said happily, "If you want to go, do you think 30 yuan will do?"

"Yes, the price is fair!"

According to Wang Yuhui's experience of taking a car in the past years, it is usually more than 50 to take a taxi back home.

And because they have to go out of the city, few taxi drivers are willing to take passengers during this New Year's season, unless they add money!

The rear door of Kyushu Mini is opened, and the rear seats have been folded flat, which is more than enough to put down a few suitcases.

"Is it okay to pack people and goods!" Wang Yuhui was thoughtful.

After putting the suitcase in, he quickly sat in the co-pilot of Kyushu Mini.
