Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 490 New Factory

There is still more than a month left before 2012. Qiancheng Motor is currently borrowing money to carry out acquisitions, converting it into foreign exchange through legal channels, and preparing to poach people.

Qiancheng Motors only needs the right to use Saab's "Phoenix Platform" and the subsequent development rights. It will be beneficial to the management to complete the acquisition before they go bankrupt, and at least it can guarantee the rights and interests of employees.Saab will declare bankruptcy in December, so time is quite tight.

Qu Li then discovered that corporate debt seemed to have little impact on the company's profits, as long as the profits generated from operations were higher than the interest.The biggest problem for Qiancheng Motors is foreign exchange. To establish an R&D center in Europe, the investment in acquiring the Phoenix platform will not be low.

But does investment count as a cost?Can you buy the Phoenix platform this year?Qu Li regretted not discovering this opportunity earlier. The profit plan for next year is a bit difficult.

When arranging people to explore Europe, not only are Honor employees guiding them, Qu Li has many "friends" in Germany, and people from Qiancheng Motors will at least not turn a blind eye in a foreign country.Lu Tao graduated from Qinghua University majoring in automotive engineering and is knowledgeable about technology. He must be the one to acquire talent and technology.

Qu Li is good at "empowerment" and has made various preparations. If he can quickly package and acquire the development team and technology, it is okay for Honor to pay for it. Unfortunately, there are no plans to open a store in Sweden for the time being, and the news campaign can only start from other countries.

Honor has marketing expenses every year. Although it is the end of the year and the European company is responsible for it, stepping in at this time can be regarded as a test to see how strong the headquarters' control is.Allowing Europeans to find information about Honor and Qiancheng Automobile on the website is a long-term task that takes a lot of time and is difficult to separate from Qu Li's personal image building.

At this time, his advantages became apparent. The development of Honor, Jumei, FB, Twitter and Tesla are all inseparable from Qu Li's presence, and his legends are everywhere.For European automotive engineers, which one is more attractive, working with a globally renowned person or working with a wealthy stranger in a foreign country?

Advantages are accumulated bit by bit. It's like Qiancheng Motors has been bragging for three years and has become the new king of domestic SUVs this year. Well, it seems that it is bragging again. In the first half of the year, Qiancheng Motors was limited by production capacity and sales did not increase. In the second half of the year, there was no production capacity. Problem sales will be improved immediately.

"The sales cycle of a car is about three to five years. Next year, Qiancheng CS6 will have a facelift with a self-developed engine. In January, the old model will be reduced to less than 10. Judging from the current situation, sales will be huge again. The growth..." Xia Mingfei chatted with Qu Li

"what do you mean?"

Qiancheng Automobile's current plan is to launch the second-generation Qiancheng CS2015 and CS6 around 8. Model changes may be made every year based on comprehensive consideration of car sales and consumer feedback.

"How many years will it take for our production capacity of 40 to [-] yuan to be saturated?" How unfussy.I really can’t blame domestic consumers for liking joint venture cars. The upper limit may not be high, but the lower limit is very high.

"I can't guess." Qu Li didn't know that BYD's sales have not exceeded 50 units in the ten years since this year. Qiancheng Motors will directly compete with joint ventures and sell pure electric and hybrid vehicles abroad. How can he predict this? Sales volume?

“I think in three years we may not have enough capacity.”

"..." Qu Li had a headache when he heard that the production capacity was not enough. He had finally suppressed the reputation of hunger marketing. Could he make the same mistake again? However, when he heard that it had been three years, he realized that he now had enough time.

"Our sales this year are conservatively estimated to be about 13." Xia Mingfei, with the Qiancheng CS series selling well, he has planned to kick the Mitsubishi Pajero off-road vehicle out of Qiancheng dealers and put it into the Mitsubishi Motors sales channel established in cooperation with Mitsubishi .

In fact, since the first month after Qiancheng CS8 was launched, the sales volume of Qiancheng's two cars has remained at around 9 per month. In September, there seemed to be 3 sales. The first 6 months count as 3, and the next 6 months count as 12. Ten thousand, 15 were sold in one year.

Next year, Qiancheng's fuel vehicle production line capacity will reach 40, increasing from 15 to 40, with an annual growth rate of about 38%. It is not an Internet company, so it is very difficult to judge.No, what was the sales volume of Qiancheng Motor last year?

"Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"

"We also have cars. I roughly counted the sales of SUVs in the past two years. The sales volume of low-end SUVs below 8 yuan is less than 10%. The sales volume of SUVs above 30 yuan is about 5%. Between 8 and 30, Qiancheng SUV sales The advantages are huge. Logically speaking, Qiancheng CS6, which is a self-developed engine model, should not be launched so early..."

Qiancheng CS6 sells very well, but the sales volume has not been fully released. Are you beating yourself up at this time?

"Our engine is different and has been improved in every aspect."

Honor has developed the function of using a smartphone as a car key, and the various small innovations are quite interesting.Because the engine has been changed, everything from the gearbox to the chassis has to be readjusted, so there is no way to put it on the market this year. It will be possible after the Spring Festival.

"I think we can consider building a new factory in other cities..."

"Where do you think is suitable?" Qu Li did not say why he did not continue to build the factory in Xingsha. Of course, it is because there are not many Qiancheng Automobiles in Huxiang Nengge. For example, in 22, BYD's insurance volume in Guangdong Province accounted for 16.5% of the country's total. In the past, it was even 23%. The three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai together accounted for [-]% of the country's insurance volume.Therefore, where automobile companies are located is really important before a large national market is formed.

"Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Yangcheng, and Pengcheng are all fine." Xia Mingfei said without hesitation.

Although Qu Li is optimistic about Hefei, he has not considered building a factory in Hefei. He has not considered Beijin because the market in the north is too small and the cost of Beijin is too high.From a market perspective, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Guangdong are both good, followed by Rongcheng and Shancheng in the southwest, both of which are important automobile towns.

"Let's go to Yangcheng and Pengcheng to investigate."

It's not that Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are unimportant, but Guangdong Province is more important. Even if he flies around the world, Beijin and Yangcheng are where he stays the longest, followed by Xingsha.

“How big of a factory should we build?”

"10 units is almost there, right? Is it a production line for fuel vehicles or hybrid vehicles..."

It was difficult for Qu Li to weigh the long-term and short-term production capacity coordination. Can the fuel vehicle production line be changed into an electric vehicle production line?

"Of course it is a fuel vehicle. There are no semi-finished products for hybrid vehicles now." Xia Mingfei does not see the future of electric vehicles. Instead, he believes that Qu Li's later thinking means that Qiancheng can gain a leading edge in the general trend of electrification and intelligence of fuel vehicles.

"That's it." It's difficult for Qu Li to grasp these details and can only rely on the team.
