All round car designer

Chapter 442 Nikolai

After chatting with Zhu Zhijun and Ma Xiaotian for a few words, Zhou Fei was just about to go find Wu Youliang, but Ma Xiaotian suddenly shouted,
"Mr. Zhou, can I trouble you to come to Dongfeng next month? Regarding the Hummer replacement, we would like to ask you to guide me."

The Hummer military vehicle designed by Zhou Fei for Dongfeng Motor a few years ago has been highly recognized by the military and even exported to foreign countries. In the selection list of various military vehicles, it has been rated as No. 1 for many times. It is definitely Dongfeng in recent years. One of the most affordable products.

However, the Hummer has been in service for more than three years after all, so Dongfeng is thinking about replacing the Hummer in the past two years. However, Zhou Fei is the real developer of this car after all, so Ma Xiaotian wants to invite Zhou Fei to help him. close.

"No problem. President Ma will just let me know when the time comes. I will definitely go to Dongfeng." Zhou Fei smiled and nodded.

"Then thank you Mr. Zhou first." Hearing this, Ma Xiaotian quickly replied gratefully.

After saying goodbye to Zhu Zhijun and Ma Xiaotian, Zhou Fei soon saw Wu Youliang.

"This time, the proposal on electric vehicles went very smoothly. Now that we have everything, I will go to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology tomorrow." After meeting Zhou Fei, Wu Youliang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Wu is old." Zhou Fei said hastily.

"You don't have to be so polite, but that's all I can do. We will try our best to help you fight for policies, but we can't help you with technology. You can only rely on yourself." Wu Youliang said with a smile .

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, we will definitely work hard on the technical level and promise not to let you down." Zhou Fei replied confidently.

"I'm going to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology tomorrow morning, do you want to go with me?"

"Okay, then I will come to look for Mr. Wu." Zhou Fei smiled and nodded.

With Zhou Fei's current status, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology still has some contacts. After all, they still have to rely on Zhou Fei to win glory for the country.

The next morning, Zhou Fei and Wu Youliang came to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and handed over the electric vehicle industry specification to the Industrial Policy Department. The Industrial Policy Department seemed very happy about the industry specification they submitted and expressed their affirmation. Strongly support the development of this industry, and at the same time encourage Feichi to strive for the upper reaches, so that Huaxia can take a leading position in this electric vehicle transformation.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also promised to introduce relevant industrial support policies in the near future to help the development of electric vehicles.

In this way, the policy matters are basically settled. As for how favorable the final policy will be, it is not up to Zhou Fei to decide.

But as long as the country is willing to support the development of electric vehicles, it will be the biggest victory for Zhou Fei.

"Old Wu, thank you so much this time." Zhou Fei said gratefully after he came out of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

"It's nothing, I just did what I should do, and that's all I can do, and then you can only rely on yourself." Wu Youliang smiled and waved his hand.

Now that the affairs of Yanjing are over, Zhou Fei did not stay here any longer, and returned to the company headquarters by car that afternoon. There are still many things that need to be organized by him.

On the other hand, Zhang Xiang, who was in charge of market research, also returned to China from Europe and the United States the day after Zhou Fei came back, and found Zhou Fei with a market research report.

"Mr. Zhou, this is my research report this time." Zhang Xiang handed the materials in his hand to Zhou Fei, and continued, "This trip to Europe and America is not in vain. Electric vehicles have been developed as a key industry, especially in the United States, where a leading electric vehicle company has emerged."

Zhou Fei looked at it and listened to Zhang Xiang's explanation. The company Zhang Xiang mentioned was also mentioned in the research report. It was called Nikola, which was Tesla's surname. The father of alternating current.

Nikola's car logo is a simple lightning bolt. The company was established in 2016, and it has been six years since its establishment. In addition, at that time, the company did not have any products that could be sold, so the company Nikola was not well known.

Until last year, the concept of electric vehicles began to rise in the international auto industry. At the same time, Nikola also released the spy photos of the first electric vehicle ES1, which attracted the attention of people in the industry.

Especially since the beginning of this year, the capital market has been rumored that Nikola will be listed on NASDAQ in the United States. This unicorn in the electric vehicle industry is better known. The market has a preliminary understanding of Nikola. The valuation has reached 100 billion US dollars, which is enough to see how promising this company is.

Of course, Nikola's valuation can reach 100 billion US dollars, mainly because the ES1 electric car it released has an unprecedented cruising range of 400 kilometers. a sharp increase in its valuation.

Coupled with the fact that Nikola is currently the only company engaged in pure electric vehicles in the world, the valuation of him in the capital market is naturally very high.

"I didn't expect this company called Nikola to develop so fast, and the cruising range can reach 400 kilometers, which is indeed a very good achievement." Zhou Fei couldn't help admiring while watching.

If he didn't have the advantage of traveling through time, he might not be able to work in this company. After all, there is no electric vehicle company in China at present, and they have already achieved the level of [-] kilometers in work. People are amazed.

It's okay to scold, but Laomei is indeed far ahead of us in terms of technology.

But, it's only 400 kilometers, Zhou Fei's goal is to start at 500 kilometers, so Zhou Fei is not panic!

"It's really powerful, and their first product ES1 will be released in December this year. I've seen the spy photos of this car, and it's really good. It's too late for us to start at this time." Zhang Xiang couldn't bear it. Live with emotion.

Regarding Nikola’s ES1, the survey report also attached its photos. How should I put it, Zhou Fei doesn’t think there is anything special about this electric car, but thinks that every electric car is basically Similarly, they are all designed according to the routine of a sports car, and even the acceleration time from [-] kilometers is approaching that of a supercar.

This kind of design can only be said to be the same. The design of mass-produced models of Tesla and future cars in the previous life is similar in many places. In terms of vehicle diversification, electric cars are much different than traditional cars.

"Apart from Nikola, do traditional car companies engage in electric vehicles?" Zhou Fei continued to ask.

"Not directly, but Dafeng Motor is the second largest shareholder of Nikola!" Zhang Xiang quickly replied.
