Chapter 223 Li Cheng Comes to China
Guo Yuan followed in the footsteps of President Lei and Liu Gong and watched the entire internal evaluation process.

After a whole set of procedures, there is no problem at all with L3 automatic driving relying on infrared rays and various conduction tools.

Mr. Lei and other high-level executives of Rice Car Manufacturing are very satisfied with this result.

In the evening, Mr. Lei and Liu Gong accompanied Guo Yuan and Cheng Shuqing to eat in a private kitchen called Chunyu in the 4th Ring Road of God's City.

The dishes in the north are too large, and 4 people only ordered six dishes.

But these six dishes are not ordinary, they are all cooked by the chef of the state banquet, and each dish is made with great thought from the ingredients to the cooking.

Guo Yuan tasted the steamed mandarin fish that was closest to him, and it was really unusual, with a very strange umami taste.

Cheng Shuqing also tried this dish, and it was indeed delicious, but she still felt that it was not worth it.

Cheng Shuqing remembers that this steamed mandarin fish seems to cost 688. Mandarin fish is usually about 100 yuan a catty, but this fish is only a catty and a half at most. Counting the cost of labor, which is as high as 200, it is too much to sell for 688 in the end. Expensive.

"Mr. Guo, this time our test passed smoothly thanks to the technology you provided us. Let me toast you first." After speaking, Mr. Lei raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass.

Guo Yuan smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

"Mr. Lei, I see that all of you are testing the assisted L3 autonomous driving technology. Don't you test the pure vision L3 autonomous driving technology?" Guo Yuan asked.

"We plan to focus on L3 autonomous driving with auxiliary equipment at this stage, and put the pure vision L3 autonomous driving technology behind." Mr. Lei replied.

"Why? Isn't it good to do pure vision directly?"

"On the one hand, it is a matter of national conditions, and on the other hand, the road we take to make cars is actually similar to that of our mobile phones, focusing on the assembly of accessories, and we are only responsible for the system and the core components.

If you want to do this kind of way, you must make some compromises. For example, the test car you saw before Mr. Guo, the chassis is from Changan, and the battery is from BYD. We are actually testing these two items. "

"So it is."

"Mr. Guo, you may not be clear that you haven't been involved in this industry. This industry is actually quite difficult to do now. The overall domestic situation is that BYD is far ahead, Tesla is closely behind, and there is Weilai behind, and Xiaopeng is a big one. Pile of car brands.

If you want to break out of the encirclement in this "strong enemy" environment, you must make some compromises. "

Guo Yuan nodded to express his understanding.

"Mr. Lei, you said earlier that you were helping BYD test their new battery. How is the performance of this battery?"

"To be honest, it is stronger than the batteries currently used by Tesla and BYD, but the stability is relatively poor, and it feels like there is not much breakthrough.

It is actually very difficult to break through the technical bottleneck of batteries, but I seem to have heard recently that there is a battery called one in Germany, which seems to have a great technological breakthrough.

The company's batteries are used in power-assisted bicycles that are very common abroad. They perform several times better than the same type of batteries, and the stability is also good. "

"Then why didn't Mr. Lei contact them?" Guo Yuan asked.

"On the one hand, they haven't expressed any intention of cooperating with any company yet. On the other hand, all we have heard are rumors. Only 5 units of that power-assisted bicycle have been sold. When our company got the news and went to purchase It's gone, I heard that BYD bought it, but they are unlikely to share data with us, so we are not sure if this battery is really that powerful.

There are too many bragging companies and enterprises in the market now, let alone Mercedes-Benz.

Before, Mercedes-Benz suddenly announced that it had realized the L3 self-driving technology and was allowed to go on the road in two states of the United States. This frightened Tesla and BYD, and they sent several waves of people to investigate the situation.

Then I discovered that the so-called realization of the L3 automatic driving technology is realized when a specific road section is equipped with multiple sensors and the speed is limited to 40 miles.

This kind of L3 automatic driving technology is completely meaningless, and as a result, Mercedes-Benz directly blew it into the sky. "

"So Lei is always afraid that the Zero One battery will also engage in false propaganda like Mercedes-Benz?"

"That's right! Huh? Mr. Guo, you know this company!"

"Well, I've heard of it." Guo Yuan responded casually.

Guo Yuan didn't dwell on this topic, but changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Lei, what route is your car going to take?"

"That must be the same as our rice mobile phone. In the early stage, we will take the people-friendly route to occupy the market. After the market share stabilizes, we will slowly move towards high-end."

Then Mr. Lei and Guo Yuan talked about their marketing methods, and Guo Yuan listened while eating.

A person like Mr. Lei who has been in the business for many years must have his own unique insights in this regard. Hearing more about his experience will also be good for controlling the company in the future.

And when Guo Yuan and Mr. Lei were chatting happily.

A plane from Germany landed in Shanghai.

Li Cheng got off the plane, looked around and muttered to himself: "I haven't been back for five years, Shanghai has changed a lot!"

It is true that Li Cheng grew up abroad, but it does not mean that he has never returned to China. After his mother passed away, his father brought his younger sister back to China to settle down, while he gave up his Chinese nationality and became a US citizen. people.

However, the relationship between Li Cheng and his father was not good. It was five years ago that he returned to China to visit his father last time.

This time, if the mysterious boss hadn't given him a death order to confirm the exact location of the mobile phone battery production line within a month, Li Cheng would not have come back.

"After the matter is over, let's take a look at the old man!" Li Cheng thought in his heart.

"Boss, I just went to ask. The nearest flight to Shencheng is at 11pm." It was Li Cheng's secretary who was speaking, a blond French girl named Vinyard.

Wynyard is 23 years old and has just graduated from university. He has average working ability, but he is better at being obedient.

Moreover, the French are famous for being romantic and open, what Li Cheng likes most is her openness.

"Is it only at 11 o'clock? It's too late, I don't want to go there so late, Wynyard, go and book a hotel nearby! Then tell BYD that the two of us will go there tomorrow."

"Good boss." After saying that, Wynyard ran away.

This time Li Cheng returned to China for two purposes. The first was to investigate suitable battery production lines, and the second was to contact BYD to see if an OEM agreement could be reached with BYD.

It's best if two things can be done at once, so he doesn't have to travel to two places, let alone go to Vietnam.

To be honest, Li Cheng didn't want to go to Vietnam at all, because Vietnam is not a good place in the textbooks of the United States.
