All round car designer

Chapter 438 Industry Regulations
If anyone was to say who was the most famous electric vehicle manufacturer in the previous life, it must be Tesla in the United States.

This electric car manufacturer established in Silicon Valley of the United States has rapidly grown into the automobile company with the highest market value in just a dozen years, and its development speed is comparable to the current Mercedes-Benz company.

Founded in 2003, the original entrepreneurial team came from Silicon Valley. The team hopes to use IT concepts to subvert the traditional auto industry and use IT concepts to build cars, rather than traditional car manufacturers represented by Detroit.

Therefore, Tesla's building of electric cars is often seen as a story of a Silicon Valley boy fighting against a Detroit giant, and in the end, this former Silicon Valley boy eventually grew into a new industry giant.

When it comes to Tesla, the first thing that comes to mind is generally the current CEO of the company, Musk, but in fact, Musk is not the founder of Tesla. The original co-founder of Tesla was Martin Eberhard and his longtime business partner Mark Tarpenning.

Musk joined Tesla mainly because the company encountered financial difficulties in the early days of its establishment, so Martin Eberhard met Musk under the recommendation of a friend.

Musk invested $2004 million in Tesla in 630, and eventually became the chairman of the company, with the final decision on all company affairs, but this decision eventually led to the exit of the two co-founders, making Tesla successfully marked Musk's mark.

Since the two founders were out, Musk has become the CEO of Tesla. Under his leadership, Tesla has gradually grown into a well-deserved giant in the entire electric vehicle industry.

Since its listing in 2010, Tesla’s market value has increased hundreds of times. As of now, Tesla’s total market value has reached 3000 billion U.S. dollars, and its market value exceeds that of the traditional three major American auto giants GM, Ford and Chrysler The sum of the market value of the three companies!

It is no exaggeration to say that no car manufacturer can match the current Tesla in terms of development potential!
Because of this, Zhou Fei plans to launch his own electric car with Tesla as the main reference model in the company's electrification strategy.

However, at present, it is still too early to determine the specific model. Zhou Fei plans to consider this matter after the Spring Festival.

A week later, the Spring Festival holiday officially began, Feichi Company also entered the rest period, Zhou Fei also began to enjoy the New Year celebration at home.

In the past few Spring Festivals, Zhou Fei took his father and mother out of town. This year, both of them are probably tired, and they refuse to go out any more. So this year's Spring Festival, the family of three stayed in the Spent here in my hometown.

The problem with celebrating the New Year in my hometown is that at this time, there are always all kinds of aunts and aunts coming to the house to pay New Year's greetings. Even distant relatives who have not been in contact with each other for many years are scrambling to join the house, and basically Those who came to seek relationship, Zhou Fei could only come to accompany the other because of his parents' face.

After all, in my hometown, the concept of family is still very important. Zhou Fei doesn't want to embarrass his mother and mother as they are getting older.

After the seven-day holiday, Zhou Fei also returned to his normal work and life. The first thing he did was to hold a meeting to announce the company's "electrification" strategy.

This is also the first official meeting of the company after the festival, and all the main persons in charge of various departments and branches attended this meeting.

"Everyone, I called everyone here today, mainly to announce the company's development strategy for the next stage."

After everyone arrived, Zhou Fei looked at everyone and said.

"Fengchi has just gone through the tenth year since it entered the field of complete vehicles. In the past ten years, our development direction has mainly focused on traditional cars. Facts have proved that this direction is completely correct. , because it only took ten years for us to become the third in the world!"

Zhou Fei paused, and then continued, "But the times are advancing, and the automobile industry has been developing. Traditional automobiles have a history of more than 100 years and have basically reached their peak. There is very little room for improvement. , so next, we will gradually shift the focus of our work from traditional cars to new energy vehicles!"

Zhou Fei's words quickly aroused heated discussions among many people.

"New energy vehicles? It's not easy for us to get where we are today. If we don't make traditional cars, what's the deal with new energy vehicles?"

"The technologies of new energy vehicles are not yet mature. This is a tough nut to crack!"

"I think Mr. Zhou's statement is quite right. The traditional car has indeed come to an end. If it goes on, it will only gradually decline. If you don't seek a change now, it will be too late."

"If there is anything that can replace traditional cars, it must be electric cars!"

For what Zhou Fei said, some people support it, while others doubt it. They think that if new energy vehicles are the focus of the company's work now, it may be counterproductive.

"Whether you want to admit it or not, electric vehicles must be a new direction for the development of the automotive industry in the future, and electrification must also be a new breakthrough in the automotive industry. Therefore, from now on, the electrification strategy will become our Mercedes-Benz company in the next ten years. The core development direction, and I hope that all departments can support my decision."

Next, Zhou Fei made a detailed elaboration on the electrification strategy, mainly explaining how to link electrification with the future of Mercedes-Benz, and required every department to implement the idea of ​​electrification in place.

After the meeting, the others left the meeting room one after another, and Zhou Fei followed Ma Huafu out of the meeting room.

"What does Mr. Ma think of the electrification strategy? Does it have any prospects for development?" Zhou Fei asked as he walked.

"The development prospect of electrification is definitely very great, and I also support Mr. Zhou's decision very much. If you want to take the lead in the new round of automobile transformation, you have to take a road that no one else has traveled." Ma Huafu replied with a smile.

Regarding electric vehicles, Ma Huafu actually had some unique insights a long time ago. He also always believes that electric vehicles will definitely be able to replace traditional fuel vehicles in the future, which is an inevitable historical development.

So this time after Zhou Fei proposed the electrification strategy, Ma Huafu was one of the few people who firmly supported it.

"I knew you would definitely support me." Zhou Fei smiled, "From Mr. Ma's point of view, what do you think is the most important problem to be solved if you want to develop electric vehicles in China?"

"There is no doubt that it must be an industry standard! If you want to develop electric vehicles in China, the country needs to issue corresponding electric vehicle industry standards to restrict the development of the entire industry." Ma Huafu replied immediately.
