Chapter 211, can you trust me?(1/3)

The night surrounded the deep city, and the lights were on, and the streets were dusk and yellow, and they shone weakly at these noisy town villagers.

It felt that it was not too early, Wang Xin raised her left wrist and glanced at her. She didn't know if she didn't look at it. She was shocked when she saw it. Time suddenly turned to the early morning in a blink of an eye.

When he got up, Wang Xin looked at him and said, "I'm a little hungry, why don't you go down and have something to eat together?"

It would be fine if I didn’t mention it, but when I mentioned it, Lin Yi felt hungry, and he was not pretentious. He said happily: "Okay, let's go and have something together."

The two of them did not go to the hotel, the restaurant, or the food stall, but chose a small stall around the corner.

The reason is very simple. The stall owner is a good person. There is a smoked kerosene lamp on each small table.

Maybe because he had just experienced the detention center, Wang Xin sighed: "The kerosene light in my memory is extremely warm and carries the time I can't go back."

Lin Yi smiled and joked: "If you like it, then we will come here later."

There are many people eating midnight snacks, and the two of them are not very well transported. They came late and the small wooden stool was gone. They circled around a few small tables. They had no choice but to pick two stone piers next to each other.

Lin Yi shouted: "Boss, come two cold noodles, be spicy, add more peanuts and coriander."

The middle-aged boss responded, "I want to get it" and asked again, "Do you have a large portion or a small portion? Which kind of noodles are needed, white or yellow?"

Lin Yi replied: "Daf, yellow noodles."

The middle-aged boss grinned: "Wait a minute, come right away."

This is not good for Chinese people. They are used to lie to others, and they still realize that it is wrong after lying to others.

For example, a common customer asks the supplier for samples, and the standard answer for the supplier's first answer is: I'm ready and am preparing to deliver it to you.

One day later, when the customer asked for the sample for the second time and asked for the express order number.

The supplier answered: I am outside and I will have to go back later. But don’t worry, I will send you the express number after a while.

After waiting for a day, the customer asked again: Where is the express order number?

The supplier replied: Oh, I'm so sorry, there are too many samples, my assistant left you and forgot to send it. I just criticized her. You are waiting, and I will ask someone to pick up the goods immediately.

The customer was not stupid and asked immediately: Have you made the sample? If you didn’t do it, I’ll change it.

The supplier immediately licked his face: I did it, did it, would you dare not do your goods? Otherwise, I will give you the filled-in express number first and you will be able to find it tomorrow.

In another day, when the customer checked the express order number, it was empty, he immediately called and asked a question.

At this time, the supplier said: Hey, let me be honest, there are too many large goods in the factory. Those masters are unwilling to stop the goods and make a sample on purpose. After all, if you stop, you have to re-commission the machine. It will take a long time to waste it back and forth, and that will be a huge loss. So you have to wait until this batch of goods is finished before you can get the sample in line.

The customer was so angry that he died of death, but he had long been used to the domestic ecosystem. It was the same when changing one, and he spent more time, so he had to ask: Can you be honest? How long can it be done?

The supplier replied: I guarantee that I can do it with my personality! I can definitely do it! Even if I don’t eat or drink within three days, I will still make it for you.

After hanging up the phone, the supplier finally shouted: xxx, hurry up and prepare my sample. If you don’t have it, just send it out. After so many days, the order will be ruined.

Look at this deceiving art, it really fills every corner of life.

Look, the owner of the small stall is also such a person. He agreed to come immediately, but his hair turned gray after waiting.

Ask once, say immediately; ask once, say immediately.

Seeing that the stall owner was surrounded by groups of later people, Lin Yi also extinguished his thoughts of urging him.

Instead, he turned his head to look at Wang Xin and asked about the battery seminar they held.

Wang Xin replied: "Some time ago, I saw a news in a publication called "International Battery Industry Trends", saying that Japan will not produce nickel-cadmium batteries locally in the future due to the environmental pollution of nickel-cadmium batteries.

I think this is an opportunity, which will definitely trigger the transfer of global nickel-cadmium battery production bases to low-cost areas."

Speaking of this, Wang Xin thought again: "It has been almost a year since the Northern Light Microelectronics launched the battery project, and I realized that this is a good opportunity to take off.

But later, because Wang Chuanxi and Guan Yilu were fighting each other, I investigated BYD and was surprised to find that Boss Wang was already making nickel-cadmium batteries."

"Already doing it? His eyes are so vicious." When this woman mentioned the nickel-cadmium battery, Lin Yicai vaguely remembered that BYD seemed to have soared into the sky with this kind of battery.

"Yes, it's about to go public." Thinking of the conclusions drawn from his investigation, Wang Xin felt a little nervous and admiration: "Mr. Lin, do you know how Boss Wang does this situation without money or advanced equipment?"

Lin Yi was stunned: "How to do it without money or equipment? You won't tell me to use handicrafts, this is a technical industry, and it cannot be compensated by simple labor."

"It's true, it's just handicrafts." Wang Xin nodded in Lin Yi's surprise: "Because the investigation results are a bit intimidating, I didn't believe it at that time. Later, in order to prove the accuracy of the information, and to satisfy my curiosity.

Before Boss Wang noticed me, I spent a lot of money to get into BYD's production workshop specializing in nickel-cadmium batteries through some special channels.

I roughly counted that BYD designated the products they started as nickel-cadmium tool batteries that can be used in wireless drills, chainsaws, emergency lights and other products.

But these didn't surprise me, what was unexpected was..."

As he said that, Wang Xin approached a little, lowered her voice and described what she saw and heard: "Mr. Lin, do you know? It is said in the industry that Boss Wang is a technical maniac. He didn't believe it before, but I believe it now.

Unlike the fully automated operation methods adopted by BYD's competitors, Boss Wang has no money to buy these production lines that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but he is highly obsessed with technology and has found a strategy that seems to be backward but has a lower cost.

Instead of paying for those ready-made equipment, he broke down the battery production process that had been fully automated in Japan bit by bit.

And break each process into several workstations, which are completed by the cheapest skilled workers in the world and the fixtures worth only a few dollars on their hands."

Lin Yi was also shocked when he heard this subversive competitive strategy. He had never underestimated Boss Wang, but he never expected that the other party was so powerful. If it really happened, what would be wrong?

He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and Lin Yi asked in disbelief: "Did it succeed?"

Wang Xin also looked admiring and solemn: "It's successful. With Boss Wang's technological innovation, I saw these battery production workshops that scared Sony, Sanyo, Foxconn, and even our Northern Light Microelectronics.

Forty or fifty workers were sitting densely on the assembly lines of sixty or seventy meters long.

They were wearing ordinary cotton work clothes and sat in the workshop at room temperature. Everyone had a fixture at their hands to help them accurately complete spot welding, inspection, labeling and other tasks. The movements in their hands can be calculated in seconds.

Although the workshop consisting of more than a dozen production lines looks crowded, it also looks a bit messy.

But it was precisely because of these simple and even a little messy workshops that BYD produced batteries that were 28% cheaper and of higher quality than its competitors, including Sony.

Currently on the market, the sale price of Sony batteries is $10. But I learned that the price of BYD batteries for future launch is $3."

Lin Yi frowned: "3 dollars?"

“Yes, from the information I have collected, it’s an outrageously low $3.

And it is also confirmed that due to the huge advantages of high quality and low price, Boss Wang came to secretly visit Chen Cang.

Secretly, BYD successfully replaced Sanyo and Wanwan cordless telephone manufacturer Daba to reach a battery supply agreement."

“Is this news reliable?”

"It should be true, it may be announced to the outside world in a short while."

After saying that, both of them fell into silence. In the face of such fierce competitors, the battery project of Northern Light Microelectronics seemed to have seen failure before it even started to make efforts.

Really...

After a long time, the cold noodles that the two ordered came. The boss apologized and said: Add a lot of peanuts and coriander to you.

The cold noodles tasted good, and the peanuts were also very crisp and fragrant. Lin Yi lowered his head and ate a few bites. He felt that the empty stomach felt better in his stomach, so he asked:

"What do you think at the moment? Should you use Sony-style production method or copy Boss Wang's experience?"

He slowly picked up the long hanging noodles into his mouth with chopsticks, chewed them carefully and swallowed them a few times, and then swallowed them. Wang Xin said:

"Aurora Light Microelectronics is short of money now, and our country is famous for its large labor force, so we plan to copy Boss Wang's model, but we have to borrow a few more people from him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi smiled knowingly, "It's okay, he's been on the first day of the first lunar month, so it's not considered offending him when he's on the fifteenth. This is called mutual respect."

Wang Xin nodded, "I'm not afraid of offending him. It's just a pity that the battery project can only follow behind his butt and eat leftovers in a short period of time."

Lin Yi comforted, "This is not like you, you will only increase the ambition of others and destroy your own might. You must know that the tortoise and hare are racing, and it is hard to say who will kill the deer."

When he was in the middle of eating, Wang Xin raised another question: "Mr. Lin, I have never understood one thing. Boss Wang has unscrupulously broken down the battery patent technology of international giants such as Sony and Sanyo, and isn't he afraid of being discovered and sued for bankruptcy?

Foreign countries are not as good as domestic ones, this is a very serious problem.”

Lin Yimoran, this is also what he admires most about Boss Wang.

Do you really think these giants are sick cats? Not only are they sued, but they are also very fierce.

If I remember correctly, in my previous life, it would be like the beginning of the new century. Japan's Sanyo Electric sued BYD in the United States for infringing the company's patents, and Sony also sued BYD in the Tokyo District Court for infringing the patents.

But the results were unexpected, and BYD won the final victory in both lawsuits.

At that time, this incident had a great influence in China, because everyone was rumored that Wang Chuanxi, who was born in technology, seemed to have found a "weapon" to crack patented technology.

When he heard that Lin Yi, who had just arrived in BBK, had specially read various news newspapers at that time.

After understanding the situation, Lin Yi also felt a lot of emotion. Because in his opinion, no one in China or even internationally could surpass Wang Chuanxi's open contempt for patents.

Perhaps because of winning these two lawsuits, Boss Wang seemed to be addicted to dismantling other people's patented technology, and he was out of control on this road and went further and further.

For example, a few years later, when Boss Wang acquired Qinchuan Automobile and began to launch BYD Auto.

Boss Wang almost did the same thing, trying his best to imitate Honda and Toyota.

He first disassembled the Toyota Corolla, repeatedly measured, decomposed, tested, and studied its structure, tested its performance, and carefully analyzed its parts.

Then, for those who do not have patents, Boss Wang will do as follows; if there is a patent, change it slightly and continue to do it.

In this way, Comrade Lao Wang quickly gained his own core technology by adopting a large number of non-patent technologies.

If you remember correctly, it was probably in 2005. BYD Auto imitated the Toyota Crown and launched the BYD F3; the subsequent F3r was highly similar to Shanghai General Motors' Kaiyue hrv.

The BYD f6 was launched shortly after that, and it was accused of being a hybrid of Hirobe Accord and Toyota Camry; and the BYD f8 it launched...

Wang Chuanxi was therefore called the "Block King", which is one of the reasons why he has been controversial so far.
To be continued...
