Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

There is still more than a month before 2012. Qiancheng Motor is now borrowing money, while making acquisitions, converting it into foreign exchange through legal means, and preparing to poach people.

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

Qu Li then discovered that corporate debt does not seem to have much impact on the company's profits, as long as the profits generated by operations are higher than the interest. The biggest problem for Qiancheng Motors is foreign exchange. To set up a research and development center in Europe, the investment in acquiring the Phoenix platform will not be low.

But is the investment 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.

Arranging people to go to Europe to explore the road, not only the staff of Glory as guides, Qu Li has many "friends" in Germany, and the people of Qiancheng Automobile will at least not be blind in foreign countries. Lu Tao graduated from Qinghua University with a major in automotive engineering. He is technically savvy, and he must be the one to help in the acquisition of talents 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 possible for Honor to pay for it. Unfortunately, there is no plan to open a store in Sweden for the time being. The news campaign can only start from other countries.

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

At this time, his advantages are revealed. The development of Glory, Jumei, FB, Twitter and Tesla cannot do without Qu Li, and his legends are everywhere. For automotive engineers in Europe, which is more attractive, working with someone who is famous all over the world, or working with a stranger in a foreign country?

The advantages are accumulated little by little, as if Qiancheng Motors has boasted for three years and became the new king of domestic SUVs this year. Uh, it seems to be bragging again. In the first half of the year, Qiancheng Motors was limited by production capacity, sales did not increase, and there was no production capacity in the second half of the year. The problem is that the sales will be fine soon.

"The sales cycle of a car is about three to five years. Next year, Qiancheng CS6 will have a self-developed engine modification. In January, the old model will be reduced to less than 100,000. Judging from the current situation, sales will be huge again. growth..." Xia Mingfei chatted with Qu Li

"you mean?"

The current plan of Qiancheng Automobile is to launch the second-generation Qiancheng CS6 and CS8 around 2015, taking into account car sales and feedback from consumers, and may change the model every year.

"How many years will our production capacity of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan be saturated?" Xia Mingfei, he is very optimistic about the sales of Qiancheng Automobile. Those who are not picky. 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 volume has not exceeded 500,000 units in ten years since this year. Qiancheng Automobile will directly compete with joint venture vehicles and sell pure electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles abroad. How do you predict this? Sales?

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

"..." Qu Li got a headache when he heard that the production capacity was not enough. He finally suppressed the reputation of hunger marketing. Could it be that he will repeat the same mistakes again? However, after hearing that it took three years, he realized that there is plenty of time now.

"Our sales volume this year is conservatively estimated to be about 130,000." Xia Mingfei, with the hot sales of Qiancheng CS series, he has already planned to kick the Mitsubishi Pajero off-road vehicle from Qiancheng's dealership, and throw it into Mitsubishi Motors, which was established in cooperation with Mitsubishi. channel.

In fact, since the first month of the launch of Qiancheng CS8, the sales volume of Qiancheng's two cars has remained at about 20,000 a month. million, sold 150,000 a year.

Next year, the production capacity of Qiancheng Motor's fuel vehicle production line will reach 400,000, increasing from 150,000 to 400,000, with an annual growth rate of about 38%. Since it is not an Internet company, it will be very difficult no matter how you look at it. No, how much did Qiancheng Motors sell last year?

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

"We still have cars. I roughly counted the sales of SUVs in the past two years. The sales volume of low-end SUVs below 80,000 yuan is less than 10%, and the sales volume of SUVs above 300,000 yuan is about 5%. It is between 80,000 and 30. Qiancheng SUV It has great advantages. It stands to reason that the self-developed engine model Qiancheng CS6 should not be launched so early..."

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

"Our engine is different, there are improvements in every way."

Honor has developed the function of smartphones as car keys, and 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 launch it this year, and there is a possibility after the Spring Festival.

"I think it is possible to consider building a new factory in another city..."

"Where do you think is suitable?" Qu Li didn't say why he didn't continue to build a factory in Xingsha. Of course, it was because Huxiang Nengge didn't have many future cars. In the past, it was even 20%, and the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai accounted for 23% of the country's total. Therefore, where the auto companies are located is really important when there is no large national market.

"Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Yangcheng, or 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 northern market is too small and the cost of Beijin is too high. Considering the market, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Guangdong provinces are all good, followed by Rongcheng and Shancheng in the southwest, both of which are important automobile towns.

"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 the places where he stays the longest, followed by Xingsha.

"How big is the factory?"

"Is it almost 100,000 units? Is it a production line for fuel vehicles or hybrid vehicles..."

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

"Of course it's a fuel car. There are no semi-finished hybrid cars now." Xia Mingfei couldn't see the future of the explosion of electric cars. Instead, he believed that Qu Li's later ideas, Qiancheng could take the lead in the general trend of electrification and intelligence of fuel cars.

"That's how it is." It's hard for Qu Li to grasp these details, so he can only rely on the team.
