Chapter 310 Let the doubts come more violently(1/2)
Xinghai Group, an old company.
Office building lobby.
A boss of an outsourcing factory stood in front of a welding eagle that was as tall as one person. He couldn't move his feet, touched the even fish scale welding, and praised:
"Mr. Huo, where did you buy this welding eagle? It's so beautiful. I want to buy one too."
Huo Ming, the business director of Xinghai Group, smiled and said to the middle-aged man with a beer belly: "Mr. Wang, you can't buy this."
When Mr. Wang heard this, he didn't take it seriously and said proudly: "It's okay. Two or three hundred thousand is still affordable. This eagle is very beautiful. It is not whitewashed and the color distribution is very good. It shows that this welder is very skilled in welding. You
Look at this craftsmanship, the fish scales are evenly distributed, just like robot welding. It’s a masterclass work. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s not polished. I’ve never seen anything this awesome. It’s worth the money.”
"It's indeed very beautiful, and many bosses want to buy it after seeing it." Huo Ming laughed, "However, this is not a matter of money. Our chairman welded it himself and it has always been placed here.
I don’t know much about welding, but people who know about welding say that it is definitely a world-class work, otherwise our chairman wouldn’t be here, which shows that he is very confident in his work.”
"Ah, why does your boss have time to weld this thing? Well, I didn't say it, it's really not something you can buy with money. Then I remembered that your boss also knows how to weld. This world is really weird." Mr. Wang smiled awkwardly.
He smiled, extended his thumbs and praised, "Seeing this eagle, I know that your company's welding technology level is indeed No. 1 in the industry."
"That's right, in terms of welding equipment, we are indeed number one in the industry and number one in the world. This is not what I say, but what my colleagues say. Our secondary welding machines and handheld laser welding equipment have been selling well, and they are also
Limited sale.”
"I heard that you have moved to a new headquarters?"
"Well, the welding business is still here. If there were often traffic jams on the surrounding roads before, I would take you to the welding workshop to have a look." Huo Ming was filled with emotion. The company has changed so much.
He is one of the first employees of the company. He used to be a salesman. Two and a half years later, he has been promoted to a business manager.
The promotion speed is not bad, but it has reached its end. Now the junior employees have very good academic qualifications. They are undergraduates and graduate students from famous universities. He has several famous university students under him. He has a lot of pressure to graduate from a junior college.
If he had joined the company a few months later, he probably wouldn't have been able to take the supervisory position.
Fortunately, there are three supervisors in the business department. All they have to do is do better than their peers.
In the personnel appointments announced by the group company yesterday, he found that the person who was promoted the fastest was Jiang Jun, the director of the group office. Now he was directly promoted to deputy general manager of the group, responsible for overseas business. The management level jumped from M2 to M4. It is really amazing. It seems that he often
Just stay with the boss.
Although Jiang Jun still has half a year of inspection period, as long as no big mistakes are made, his promotion will basically be stable.
There are currently about 4,000 employees at the group headquarters. If employees from subsidiaries and branches are included, the total number of employees must be 8,000. He is not sure how many there are, as new employees join the company every day.
Half an hour later, Huo Ming took Boss Wang to visit the welding workshop.
"Mr. Huo, is it convenient to go to your headquarters base? I'm very curious."
When Boss Wang asked, Huo Ming immediately became more vigilant and shook his head: "You can't enter. Even I can't enter the laboratory building. Some production areas are also inaccessible. If you want to see the Xinghai Building, you can only go in
Look outside.”
Not only him, but every employee of Xinghai Group must undergo multiple confidentiality training and examinations.
"Oh, forget it, I didn't expect you to keep it secret so strictly."
Huo Ming smiled and didn't explain any more. He didn't know some things about the company, but he could guess them. The company's confidentiality training also mentioned them.
Their company has many of the world's best technologies, and their peers will definitely covet them.
He didn't know what the purpose of Boss Wang was, but there was no need for Huo Ming to cause trouble for himself.
…
September 6th
At ten o'clock in the morning, Xinghai Group held a new product launch conference.
The goal of holding a new product launch conference is to promote the product to the outside world and make the outside world start to pay attention to Xinghai Group's new products. It will be too late when the products come out.
If it is a small company, it is useless to hold a new product launch conference. There will be no media reporters to go, and the reports will not be hot news. Journalists will not make much money, and they will definitely not be willing to spend energy on writing unless the company invites them to go.
Paying them some money to write soft articles is another matter.
Muyang actually builds cars, rather than going public to make money and earn state subsidies like some new energy vehicle companies.
A few years later, there will not be many new energy vehicle companies that want to really make money by selling cars.
Going public to make money is the fastest way for capitalists to make money.
If the product does not sell well or the stock plummets, the risk for consumers will be very high, and those promises of lifetime battery warranty will be empty words.
The new product launch conference was held in front of a laboratory building at the Xinghai Group headquarters base, with the Xinghai Building in the background.
The construction height of Xinghai Building is now 400 to 500 meters. It is expected that the main body will be completed during the National Day and the decoration phase will begin, which is faster than expected.
Before the new product launch conference, more than two dozen media came today, with long guns and short cannons mounted on the edge of the stage.
Behind the stage is a very long blue background with six large characters "New Journey, New Blueprint" and a line of English "New" under the Chinese characters.
Journey
New
Blueprint”.
Today the only host is Mu Yang, and he is the only one answering questions from media reporters.
There are staff and security guards on site to protect the scene. These media reporters cannot mess around. If they want to ask questions, they have to raise their hands first. The staff will only give them the microphone after receiving permission.
It was a cold September morning. Mu Yang was wearing a casual suit. It was almost time. He walked onto the stage and sat in the chair on the stage.
The photographer quickly gave the camera to Mu Yang and gave him a few close-ups.
Mu Yang is not in the entertainment industry, but some boys and girls print out his pictures and paste them on the walls or books at home. Some unscrupulous vendors even make specific pictures of Mu Yang to sell. The Ministry of Justice knows that this issue has been raised with Mu Yang.
Mu Yang said let them do it, as long as it doesn't become a product promotion picture, especially those selling medicine and health care products.
There is a store selling health care products that uses Mu Yang’s picture and claims, “If you want your children to be smart, drink XX Bao!”
This kind of company would be prosecuted by the legal department every time they saw it. Luo Xiang especially hated this kind of unscrupulous company and would not be happy if the boss was not charged with seven or eight crimes.
At this time, Mu Yang picked up the microphone and began to speak:
"I see that everyone is having a heated discussion and is very curious. Yes, the new product launch conference is being held today. Xinghai Group is preparing to build a car."
As soon as Mu Yang finished speaking, he saw many reporters raising their hands and said calmly, "Wait until I finish speaking. Don't rush to ask questions. There will be enough time for everyone to ask questions later."
When he said this, the media reporters paused their questions and became quiet.
Mu Yang continued: "If it is a new product launch, everyone will definitely ask me if I have a concept car.
No!
When I decide to do something, I plan to carry it out to the end and succeed.
Our automobile research institute has just been established, and it will take a long time for new products to be released, but I have already thought in my mind that this will be a disruptive product that is different from the cars on the market."
"Xinghai Group is determined to build a good car, not by relying on slogans or bragging, but by relying on strength and the good reputation of our past products. We already have many world firsts. I think we should try to be in the automotive field...
"
"My dream car should no longer be afraid of frequent safety problems such as high-speed collisions, overturns, and rear-end collisions. In addition to safety, it should also be comfortable, quiet, green, intelligent, and passable..."
Mu Yang talked eloquently and described some of his ideas about cars.
After he finished speaking, he asked reporters to ask questions in order of seats.
The first reporter asked: "After listening to Mr. Mu's dream car, it really arouses expectations. Safety is indeed the biggest problem. It is also a problem that all car manufacturers have studied for many years, but there has not been much improvement. I hope Mr. Mu can solve this problem.
question.
Mr. Mu’s dream is very good. You mentioned that the cruising range of new energy vehicles can reach 1,000 kilometers in the future. As far as I know, the current longest-lasting new energy vehicle is actually less than 500 kilometers long. Isn’t this span a bit long?
Long? How long does it take to charge?”
Mu Yang answered directly without thinking: "Well, this beautiful reporter asked a good question and was very polite.
What you said is indeed the current situation. The one thousand kilometers of battery life I mentioned is not to increase the battery capacity without limit, but to improve the energy density and optimize the structure of the battery. Xinghai Group has established a battery project team to work hard to solve this problem.
In my mind, I already have a mature plan. Building a car is not a temporary impulse on my part. Conceptually, it can achieve a range of one thousand kilometers.
If a 2.3-ton large SUV wants to last a thousand kilometers, the battery capacity needs to be more than 170 kilowatt-hours;
If it is a small car, it can easily run a thousand kilometers with 170 kilowatt hours of electricity.
As for the charging time, the battery power is below 80%, and the charging time of 170 kWh is controlled within 1 hour.
Of course, you may not believe what I say, so please stay tuned.
Next person!"
The pretty reporter who asked the question was praised. Seeing everyone looking at her more, she smiled and then brushed her hair beside her ears. It was a very proud thing to be praised by the Muyang public for her beauty.
Most of the reporters at the scene were female reporters. When they heard that the first female reporter was praised by Mu Yang, some of them thought they were pretty and were not convinced.
The second reporter raised his hand, took the microphone from the staff and asked: "Mr. Mu, what is the pricing range of Xinghai Group's cars? Who are the consumer groups?"
"It hasn't been decided yet, but it's definitely the top price and the next one." Mu Yang doesn't plan to announce it yet, and will let the media and netizens guess.
Besides, the car hasn’t been built yet and the price is too early.
"Mr. Mu, why do you have the confidence to build a car? Building a car should be a matter for the car factory, right?" a third reporter asked.
