Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Saab engineers went to Beijin to participate in training to prepare for the transformation of the Swedish OEM into an electric vehicle factory. Qu Li went to entertain them and encourage them.

The Beijin government took the initiative to contact Qu Li and prepared a piece of land for the expansion of Qiancheng electric vehicles, which can increase the production capacity to 100,000 units. This confidence is greater than Qu Li.

It's been almost half a year since Future Geometry, and the sales volume is only more than 3,000 but less than 4,000. This sales volume is already very good, and their limited production capacity is only a little over 10,000 vehicles per year. It can only be said that there are more local tyrants at home and abroad than he imagined. Many young car owners show off this luxury electric car on Weibo, which often attracts many discussions.

In order to meet the daily travel needs of these consumers, Qiancheng Motors has started to build super charging piles in subsidized cities. It can be charged to 50% in 20 minutes, 80% in 40 minutes, fully charged in 90 minutes, and takes about 10 hours for home use.

Fortunately, domestic labor costs are low, and Qiancheng has enough engineers to arrange for car owners to install charging piles in their homes. Foreign users can’t let domestic engineers go on business trips. It’s not impossible, but it’s a pity to send engineers who can speak English to work as electricians abroad. up.

Fortunately, Qu Li is the big boss, so he can arrange things and then be the hands-off shopkeeper.

But the Beijin government asked them to expand the production capacity to 100,000. While Qu Li was flattered, he wondered if it would be too radical.

"You can't let people wait for the car all the time. It takes half a year to buy your car. How many users have been lost." Beijin's leader is very considerate of him

Even for high-end luxury brands, it is very rare for consumers to wait for half a year. How dare a new brand like Future Geometry take such a risk.

"We are not a production capacity problem, but a supply chain problem, poor battery consistency..."

"I'm sure you can solve these problems."

"No company in the world can do better than us, but we really can't do it in a short time."

"Why don't you purchase 18650 batteries?" The leader did a lot of homework. 18650 batteries have good consistency, low price and high production capacity.

"Of course it's because the difficulty is too high. If we really want to use 18650 batteries, we may not be able to deliver them now. However, we are developing a high-nickel 21700 battery, which has been improved in terms of energy density, cost, and lightweight..."

"Then why not?"

"Of course mass production is very difficult." Qu Li was very helpless. Although the domestic industrial chain has obvious advantages, Dongying has a great advantage in materials. Some things can only be imported, and many equipments have to be redesigned, and various problems are difficult. Heavy.

In fact, the 21700 battery of Qiancheng is still in the laboratory stage, and it is far from the time of mass production. No, the 21700 battery that is suitable for power batteries has not yet been mass-produced. The factory that can be used as a consumer battery has already started to build a factory. Jumei will use it 21700 for charging treasure.

"Have you considered lithium iron phosphate?" The leaders of the Beijin City Government left, and the experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences came over. Arima has cooperated with certain departments of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Lithium iron phosphate has BYD, and it is enough for us to focus on ternary lithium." It is hard to imagine that lithium iron phosphate is used in high-end cars at this time, even if the low-temperature performance of later blade batteries is not as good as ternary lithium batteries.

"The A123 battery in the United States is about to go bankrupt."

"I don't collect junk." Of course Qu Li knows this star company. Some say it is the world's best lithium iron phosphate battery company. Aoguanhai gave them more than 200 million US dollars to build a factory in the United States. This year All products were recalled due to product defects and were on the verge of bankruptcy.

"Lithium resources are limited. Now it is oil, and in the future it may be lithium mines."

"You have to use dynamic thinking to look at the problem, really wait until that day, the national power is strong, if you can't buy it, go for it..." Qu Liman said indifferently, he is not a pure and good boy

"This can't be."

"A lot of people are eyeing on A123 company. We will see the situation when the time comes. We will develop lithium iron phosphate..." Qu Li used a strategy of delaying the attack. It is impossible for their power battery company to continue to lose money. They will wait until they have formed a self-hematopoietic function before branching out. a team...

The A123 battery is about to go bankrupt, and Fisker, another star electric car company in the United States, seems to be in a business crisis. If it weren't for the fact that this company was as famous as Tesla in the early days, no one would pay attention to it.

Qu Li paid attention to this car company because the youngest son of Li Bancheng's family in Xiangjiang seemed to want to buy this company. Qu Li has won a wide reputation around the world, which makes the youngest son of the merchant family moved.

Qu Li doesn't care about a rich second-generation competitor. They are capable, but they don't have the courage to go all out. In other words, if they start their business in the right direction and go smoothly, there is a high probability that they will have an advantage over ordinary people. Once caught in a deadlock, he will often panic and lose ground. Otherwise, Xiao Chaoren would not have made repeated mistakes in the company PCCW, and was criticized by small and medium-sized investors in Xiangjiang.

If the new energy electric vehicle industry wants to subvert fuel vehicles, the leader will inevitably be "fired". Tesla in the United States and BYD in China have both enjoyed such treatment. Ordinary people may look distressed, but which of the great companies did not come out all the way, and the two companies, Bi and Te, are not innocent and kind little white rabbits, so there is really no need to feel sorry for them.

People from all walks of life came in waves, Qu Li changed into work clothes, handed over the reception task to others, and worked with Zhang Qinan and others to develop Qiancheng's second electric car between sedan and SUV.

Tesla also has the Model X with falcon-wing doors. The surprising similarity between the two companies has caused a lot of discussion in the outside world. Qu Li explained on Weibo and Twitter:

"There is a logic behind any business decision. The limited production capacity of power batteries has greatly affected the choice of Qiancheng Motors. The reason for choosing a sedan is that this model can best take advantage of the advantages of electric vehicles, which is energy-saving, environmentally friendly and saves money on maintenance. Convenient and quiet."

"The production capacity is limited, so we can only make a small number of high-end cars with higher prices. The falcon wing doors are very cool, but the cost is very high. Building such a car is largely for show off, which is actually against my car-making philosophy. The original intention, now that I think about it, I regret it, this car will not be mass-produced, and it will be sold together with the digital commemorative version of Future Geometry, as for the price, we will talk about it when it goes on the market.”

"Qiancheng's next model will be an SUV model with a slightly lower chassis, which is still under development..."

It is unacceptable for some groups in Europe and the United States for a Chinese company to become a technological leader. Fortunately, Qu Li has her own halo, and Honor is bright enough. Moreover, Qiancheng Geometry and Tesla are highly recognizable, and the outside world soon accepted Qu Li's statement that they didn't have many choices, and they just happened to hit each other.

So, Qiancheng Geometry’s third electric car is a medium-sized SUV that happened to collide with model Y, and the two cars are strikingly similar. Oh, I forgot to say, Qiancheng is a fuel car, Geometry is an electric car...
