Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 500 The Geometry of the Future

Qu Li completed the finishing work of his New Year's Eve speech in Yangcheng, and flew to Beijin without waiting for Jumei's financial report to be released, waiting for the GM CEO to visit and visit Honor and Qiancheng.

Perhaps because there is too much information, although the New Year's Eve speech is very popular, it is not concentrated, which is equivalent to spreading the influence. This is okay, as it can expand his scope of influence.

For example, some people analyzed why Qu Li mentioned building rockets several times in a row but never actually established such a company. Was it because he lacked money or time?

It wasn't until his New Year's Eve speech in 2012 that he finally got the answer. Qu Li himself said that his method of doing things is: "first principles plus empowerment" and "Context, not Control". Just like Jumei and Honor, they need a technical helmsman.

These words are correct. Jumei Glory has no shortage of talents, but there is no talent in aerospace. Musk founded SpaceX with top rocket experts like Tom Mueller. In his spare time while working at TRW Automotive Group, he developed a New liquid fuel rocket engine.

It is a pity that Quli wants to build rockets in China, and there is a high probability that key positions cannot be filled by foreigners. Just like SpaceX, many core positions can only be joined by Americans.Otherwise, he could have hired people from the United States and Russia to work there.

There are no domestic rocket experts outside the system. Judging from various information, they seek stability within the system and have ideas for technological progress, but they have always avoided risky innovations. So, there must be many unknowns. The genius was buried.

Qu Li actually has many ways to recruit people, but what he wants is not employees, but partners, technical leaders with ideas and courage.If you don’t even have the courage to approach him, how can you hope that this person will be able to face the more difficult challenges in space exploration?

Qu Li's ideas are definitely biased, but in the face of the unknown, what can he do?Electric vehicles also have a high success rate. When it comes to rocket launches, he has no other advantages except money, so he will naturally be cautious.

Zhang Qinan had some complaints about Qu Li. Some of the ideas Qu Li expounded in his New Year's Eve speech were very unprofessional, and it seemed very unprofessional to say so in public.What Zhang Qinan didn't know was that Qu Li was already dissatisfied with him because of this incident.

But even so, Qu Li never thought about changing people. Radical and conservative are not complimentary words. Qu Li just happened to know the correct answer, so he was so radical.

But we still need to continue to introduce talents with ideas. When Qu Li was bragging to his leaders in Yangcheng, he told his leaders that he had a team of 500 elite engineers, more than 100 of whom were in Silicon Valley and were being supported by Honor, and about 200 of them belonged to Qiancheng Motors.

The design of "City in the Sky" has caused a lot of discussion on the Internet. Many people think that Qu Li was deceived. This kind of building is unrealistic and difficult, and the renderings are just PS. Just take a look and don't take it seriously.

However, this kind of design that perfectly integrates technology and art has attracted many people's praise. "It makes sense for Honor phones to be so expensive."

"A bunch of fools recharged Qu Li..."

"Ahem!" This person went to the wrong set. Most netizens still envied the employees of Jumei and Honor.

Entrepreneurs like Qu Li are simply outliers in the domestic market. Ma Yun is a teacher and likes to educate people; Li Yanhong and Ma Huateng are engineers, low-key and honest; NetEase Ding Lei likes music and is a bit of a literary youth, and raising pigs makes him a little bit confused. He stands out from the crowd; Zhang Chaoyang has been in the entertainment industry, but after all, he is not reassuring; the former richest man in the country, Shengtian, the magic city, has some thoughts. Game makers look down on games, but Chinese people look down on them...

In short, after many well-known domestic entrepreneurs, even if you look for people around the world, people like Qu Li are extremely scarce resources. The success of Jumei, especially Honor, has given Qiancheng Motors a unique brand bonus.

This is not what Qu Li said. Some netizens said: "I can't say what is good about Qiancheng Auto. I just feel that it is different from other car companies."

"Beyond Ordinary Life" is the brand slogan of Qiancheng Motors. It originally wanted to sell Wuling Hongguang, a sacred car like Wuling, but Qu Li really didn't realize that Wuling, a national sacred car like LOW, which has grown up with a generation, could only be sold if the product power was sufficient. , should not be absent from the electric vehicle market in the future.Speaking of fantasy, just like the "Five Emperors' Coins" composed of five copper coins, Wuling Hongguang, a national sacred car with a unique temperament, may have a certain amount of luck in itself.

It's a pity that it broke up with Cheetah Motors. Due to positioning issues, Qiancheng Motors gave up the idea of ​​competing with Wuling for luck and now wants to strike out on its own.

The price of Qiancheng Geometry is higher than that of Tesla Model S, but the user experience is actually similar. There are many similarities, such as frameless doors, panoramic sunroof, streamlined body, and large touch screen. Tesla’s is 17 inches, while Qiancheng’s is 15 inches. , use BOE.

Qiancheng Auto's advantage lies in its software. Tesla's large screen often crashes, and its system optimization capabilities are obviously not as good as those of Android, which is Honor's KOS.In the field of human-computer interaction, there is still a glorious future called Klun. How about the car is called Kunlun? The two pronunciations seem to be very close?Qiancheng also has Honor's ADAS advanced assisted driving.

Now after the upgrade, they have been re-divided. The main battery is divided into two capacities: 85KW and 60KW. There are also two models of comfort version and performance version respectively. There are four models in total. The acceleration from 4.2 kilometers to 5.8 kilometers varies from [-] seconds to [-] seconds.

Therefore, the price has to be adjusted. The most expensive signature version of Tesla Model S is priced at US$9.79, and the other one is US$8.79.

Qiancheng Geometry also released 1000 high-performance limited numbered versions. Users who pre-booked in advance can purchase them at a price of US$9.9 and 66 RMB after court subsidies.

所以前程几何的售价算上补贴，85KW的性能版在米国售价8.98万美元，舒适版是7.98美元；60KW的那款分别是5.98和6.98万。ADAS的开通需要额外付费，提供三个月免费试用期。

The above are the prices after subsidies from the court. The lowest selling price of the Future Geometry has dropped to less than 40 yuan. However, some domestic cities do not have local subsidies and only have a national subsidy of 6 yuan.The price will be much higher.

At this time, BYD released an electric car called E6, with an official price of 36.98. It was first sold as a taxi in Pengcheng. In a sense, BYD was supported by various subsidies.

Later, many people boasted that BYD had electric cars in 08. Take a look at the E10, which was launched in October last year. It retains the gearbox and can accelerate to 6 kilometers within 10 seconds. The range is 160KM, which was later increased to 280KM.

At this time, BYD's market value exceeds 700 billion, and Tesla's market value is approximately US$28 billion and 180 billion yuan.Although the market value cannot fully represent the strength of a company, looking at such a comparison of figures, combined with the performance of the two companies ten years later, it should be difficult to say that Boatman is better than Musk, right?

A few days after Qu Li returned to Beijin, he announced the official pricing of Qiancheng Geometry on the official website, including specific parameters and production plans: "In order to ensure delivery, every employee of Qiancheng Motors who does not take vacation during the Spring Festival can get three Double the salary, three family members are invited to be reunited in Beijin, and Qiancheng Motors is responsible for the round-trip transportation, accommodation and insurance expenses."

"We will give 120% of our efforts and sincerity. We have less than 1000 non-refundable prepayment users. Everyone can choose to purchase a numbered Qiancheng Geometry 85KM performance version at an additional price. The car configuration is basically the same, but there is a lifetime warranty. Free ADAS services and some small gifts..."
