Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 284 Development of Pure Electric Vehicles

Qu Li was surprised to receive a call from Vice President Li Kai of Google Zhongguo and made an appointment to meet. What was even more surprising was that Vice President Li Kai was leaving Google Zhongguo.

Why?Qu Li was actually very curious, but judging from the results, perhaps Google might have decided to withdraw from the Chinese market at this time, and Li Kaifu was the prophet of Chunjiang Plumbing Duck.

Why tell him that Qu Li has limited personal relations with Deputy Li Kai, is it because he wants to join?

There are mixed reviews for this person on the Internet. Qu Li also knows that this person advocates: rumors are far ahead of the prophecy. This kind of statement is obviously biased, but he does not think that Li Kaifu is a "bad person". This is a A great person who is good at self-marketing.

Qu Li is also good at self-marketing. How could he rise from the bottom without some means?Therefore, he can understand Vice Li, but he does not like this young mentor. This personality does not match the corporate culture of Jumei and Glory.

As if he didn't realize it, Qu Li pretended not to know and chatted with Deputy Li Kai without touching any sensitive topics. He just felt sorry for him.

When I got back to the company, I found Lei Jun: "Vice Li Kaili from Google is ready to resign..."

"Are you going to dig him up?" Lei Jun was surprised.

"No, there is no place for him in Glory." Qu Li denied and continued: "What I mean is that there are many elites in Google. No matter who they are, whether they have the idea of ​​​​changing jobs or not, as long as we need them, we will contact them first. …”

"..." Lei Jun didn't understand. Wouldn't this increase the workload of the personnel department?

"I feel that Google Zhongguo is likely to fall apart. If we don't act in advance, we may only be able to eat leftovers." Qu Li forgot the day when Google withdrew from the Zhongguo market. Li Kaifu seemed to be an important reference. .

"How can you tell this?" Lei Jun was shocked, he couldn't tell

"Deputy Li Kai suddenly resigned. He hasn't found his next job yet. He can't wait until the end of the year..."

"He probably has his own ideas."

"Even if our judgment is wrong, how much money can we lose?" Qu Li felt that as long as the cost is small, we can try more.

"Okay then." Lei Jun called Cao Yunjie, the person in charge of human resources of Glory.

Soon this woman, who was about 40 years old, came over. Like Jumei, Glory's personnel skills are basic skills.

Cao Yunjie knew that Qu Li liked to poach people from Microsoft and Google. Honor had a large number of employees from these two companies, so she would naturally pay special attention to these two companies.

After listening to Cao Yunjie's brief introduction to some situations, Qu Li asked her to go back and make preparations to recruit people according to the company's needs. He also informed Jumei to try to recruit the elites in Google.The competition among enterprises will eventually turn into a competition for talents.

When September came, almost all of Honor's car-making parts were included in the Qiancheng Automobile system. Qu Li went to the Beijin Research Center to meet with Zhang Qinan and others to inquire about the progress of the matter. Whether it was welfare benefits or life problems, he would help solve them.

When Qu Li moved into Qiantu Motor, he cut off many projects, from engines to plug-in hybrid vehicles. His core logic was not to compromise.

Zhang Qinan is in charge of Qiancheng's first pure electric vehicle. Qu Li originally wanted prismatic batteries, but more than 90% of domestic batteries are soft-pack batteries, and BYD's lithium iron phosphate is not available for external supply.

Then use 18650 batteries, and first master the lithium battery and thermal management system. Even if Qu Li is just a tram enthusiast, he also knows that Musk said that the possibility of "thermal runaway" in soft-pack batteries is very high, and the risk factor is very high. Won't use it.

This does not mean that Qiancheng Auto will repeat Tesla's old path. Its advantage is obviously to achieve the lowest cost by integrating the upstream and downstream industrial chains of pure electric vehicles. If it gives up its own advantages and goes head-to-head with Tesla, it will become a second-tier car. Fool?

Therefore, before there were self-developed prismatic batteries, it was not Qu Li’s prerogative to purchase 18650 power batteries from Tesla. Daimler and Toyota later purchased Tesla batteries, and even other technologies.

You said that Tesla does not make batteries. Do you understand joint development and OEM? Anyway, if you want to buy the 18650 power battery produced by Panasonic, you can only go through Tesla for the time being.

Cost is not an issue. With the support of Tesla and Honor brands, it cannot sell more than 50 W, so there is no need to be busy. Anyway, he does not plan to sell many cars.

“Our requirements for power batteries are very simple: first, the product qualification rate should reach ppm level; second, product consistency; third, product weather resistance; fourth, product durability, which should reach 10 to 15 years; fifth, The cost of the product..." Zhang Qinan said a lot. Although he felt that he was deceived by Qu Li, he still believed in Qu Li's sincerity.

Changfeng Power Battery is currently invested by Honor, Qiancheng Motor and Changfeng Group. Changfeng Group holds 34% of the shares, 1% more than Honor and Qiancheng. This is Qu Li's return to Chairman Li.It happened that an expert in the field of power batteries came back from the United States to start a business. After promising equity incentives, he agreed to work in Xingsha.

Changfeng Power Battery's current direction is square high-nickel ternary lithium batteries. Specific specifications give priority to the needs of Qiancheng Automobile. Qu Li's visit to Beijin this time is to establish closer ties between them.

In addition to pure electric cars, the Beijin R&D Center will also develop the "Haval H6" and the 2010 Cheetah CS7. No, starting next year Cheetah will only sell cars with a price of more than 20 yuan. It should be the Qiantu CS71.5 2010L turbocharged, [-] new car. .

In fact, the Changfeng Cheetah CS7 is pretty good, and online reviews are pretty good: appearance, interior space, control, power, fuel economy, safety, etc. are all OK. The main problems are that the interior workmanship is rough, there are many minor problems such as abnormal noise, and the overall assembly Poor workmanship.

If the 2010 model sells well, then it will continue to use the name Qiantu CS7. If it does not sell well, it will be renamed "Haval H6" as Qiantu CS8.

"The plug-in hybrid engine must be small and lightweight..." After Lu Tao arrived in Xingsha, Zhang Qinan took charge of the work in Beijin, so he naturally had to worry about various things.

"What is responsible for the production and manufacturing? We have purchased a large amount of advanced equipment and launched large-scale training. This year we will recruit a large number of college graduates and above. After next year, the manufacturing level and quality should be greatly improved..." Qu Li Jiang discussed the matter of Xingsha with Zhang Qinan and other people from the Beijin Company. "Our controlling stake in Changfeng Power is cooperating with the German FEV engine technology, and we will strive to develop a domestically leading engine that meets our needs within three years, and at the same time master the correct To develop capabilities..."

"We don't produce the gearbox ourselves. The chassis needs to be adjusted by ourselves. I heard that the battery can be fixed on the chassis or body..." Qu Li talked about battery-chassis integration and battery-body integration technology.

"It seems feasible to weld the battery to the chassis..." Zhang Qinan muttered a few words, "But there are also many problems..."

"This is just the direction. Also, can we use wheel or wheel hub motors..." Qu Li continued to dream. What he wanted to do most was to break Zhang Qinan's inherent thinking and look at pure electric cars from a higher dimension.

Many domestic trolls deny Tesla, but they can't explain the fact that before Tesla entered the domestic market, all electric vehicles, including BYD's pure electric vehicles, were bad guys. They built cars based on fuel vehicles instead of oil and electricity. Rather than completely subverting the industry, no domestic car company has ever made a similar attempt to integrate battery and chassis.

Qu Li doesn’t understand technology, but he knows the development direction of pure electric vehicles, software-defined body, smart cockpit, autonomous driving, integrated molding...
