Technology Tycoon: From Real Estate Tycoon To Technology Overlord

As soon as Zhang Haiming stood up to speak, Li Yu reached out to stop him.

Li Yu stood up directly and spoke his mind.

"Now that most of the orders have not been formally signed, it is inappropriate to directly expand the production capacity when it is less than 20%.

It is indeed too wasteful in terms of cost and manpower. "

Just when everyone thought Li Yu agreed with Qian Lulu and Feng Gao's suggestions, Li Yu suddenly changed his voice and said:

“But as of now, it is a fact that new lithium batteries will replace lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium.

As long as the companies we have initially cooperated with have completed product adaptation, all subsequent orders will be handed over to us.

Manager Qian and Manager Feng said that we will expand when the production capacity reaches 80%. I personally feel that by that time the action will be too slow.

Personally, I think we should start expanding immediately when the current production capacity reaches 50%. "

After Li Yu made the final decision, the expansion of Tiansheng Production Technology Manufacturing Company was directly decided. Next, a specialized department will start looking for a suitable new factory in Dapeng New District.

Even Qian Lulu, the human resources manager, will prepare for the company's expansion and recruitment in the near future.

The scene switches to Li Auto Group.

Since the last time Zhang Liu and Li Xiang were denied by Li Xiang over whether new lithium batteries should be used for subsequent company models.

Later, Zhang Liu went directly to the company behind him to explain the situation.

After all, Zhang Liu first learned about the new lithium battery from all sides, and then got the physical battery and went through a lot of testing.

I have learned about the excellent data of the new lithium batteries produced by Tiansheng Company.

He knew in his heart that the new energy automobile industry would definitely phase out the current lithium iron sulfate batteries and ternary lithium batteries within one to two years.

The future will definitely be dominated by new lithium batteries.

"President Li, although you currently have veto power in the company, we are investors in the Ideal Group.

At present, Uni-President believes that our company’s cars must be equipped with new lithium batteries from now on. "

Zhang Liu sat opposite Li Xiang and said, neither arrogantly nor humblely, that what he sits here today represents not the other party's subordinates but the spokesman for the investors behind the Ideal Group.

Li Xiang first looked at the investors who came today. Looking around, he could tell from everyone's attitudes and expressions.

These investors are now very dissatisfied with their insistence on not following up on new lithium batteries.

Li Xiang was really suffering in his heart at this moment and couldn't express it, now that things have come to this point.

He decided at this moment to tell directly why he didn't want to use the new lithium battery immediately.

“Dear investors, do you think I don’t know the excellence and cost-effectiveness of new lithium batteries?”

After saying this, Li Xiang stood up excitedly, pointed at Zhang Liu and said angrily:

"Zhang Liu, you are putting out new lithium batteries every day. Do you think I don't want to directly test and adapt new lithium batteries?

Do you understand the current situation of our company?

Do you know where our new models are now and where the battery supplier supply chain is?

You don't even know.

Let me tell you now that our new models have been produced by the foundry for more than a month.

Even the ternary lithium battery has signed today's purchase order with Ningde Group, and the deposit and first batch of payment have been paid.

There are 40,000 batteries this year, and the liquidated damages alone are set at more than 200 million. "

After shouting out the situation in one breath, Li Xiang suddenly felt that all the depression in his heart had dissipated. Yuxia took out a cigarette and smoked it without saying anything.

Now the top management and Zhang Liu of seven or eight investors were immediately deceived.

"Zhang Liu, don't you know these things about the Ideal Group?"

At this time, an investment company directly questioned Zhang Liu.

After all, Zhang Liu, as the investor's eyes and ears assigned to the Ideal Group, would normally not be unaware of these things.

"This..." Zhang Liu was asked and didn't know how to answer. He really didn't know much about these things.

As for the battery purchase, he just took a quick look at it and agreed directly after feeling that there was nothing fishy about the purchase.

I never thought that this was hidden here.

"Hmph! Zhang Liu, it seems that you and President Li have a very good relationship!"

At this time, another investment executive said meaningfully.

"Everyone, I did check it when I purchased the battery, but the purchase details at that time only had the quantity and price, and there was no liquidated damages. I really don't blame me!"

When Zhang Liu saw this, he immediately shouted that he was wronged. He really didn't dare to take the blame.

"Okay, now let's talk about how to solve it. Should we continue to use ternary lithium batteries, or should we pay the penalty and use new lithium batteries!"

At this moment, Chen Qiao, vice president of HDG Group, the largest investor, stretched out his hand and knocked on the table and said.

Rott.

"How many new models have been produced so far? Do you know the data?"

"Last week's data showed that as the production line was just being run-in, only more than 2,600 vehicles were produced."

Li Xiang naturally knew these data very well and immediately told the current situation.

The current cost of more than 2,000 is more than 500 million. In addition to the liquidated damages of Ningde Group, the current ideal size cannot afford this loss.

"How about continuing to use ternary lithium this year and starting to adapt to new lithium batteries next year?"

Sure enough, after knowing the current situation, some investment companies immediately wanted to compromise.

If someone took the lead, others would naturally respond. Within a short time, two investment companies agreed with Li Xiang's idea.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Liu immediately stood up and shouted:

"Everyone, have you forgotten the positioning of our ideal car?"

After asking this question, Zhang Liu directly pulled up his chair and propped his hands on the conference room table and shouted:

“It’s a high-end SUV, do you remember the words high-end and high-end?

It is a high-end SUV priced at 30,000 to 400,000 yuan, and is positioned as the best SUV under 2 million yuan.

Now you are actually saying that this high-end SUV costing RMB 300,000 to RMB 400,000 uses a battery that is even more rubbish than the online ride-hailing car Aion S from the Western Group.

Is it going to make people laugh that an online car-hailing car that costs more than RMB 100,000 can have a range of more than a thousand kilometers, but our high-end SUV, which costs hundreds of thousands more, can only have a range of a few hundred kilometers?

At that time, do you think we can still sell tens of thousands of cars after we produce them? Will the losses be smaller than if we choose to use new lithium batteries now?

Could it be that today’s decision will directly lead to the collapse of Ideal Group?

I have said this, if you still think there is no problem with President Li Xiang’s decision, then I will not express my thoughts on batteries. "

quiet!!!

After Zhang Liu finished speaking, everyone in the entire conference room reacted.

Even Li Xiang, who had always been afraid of losses, started thinking with a gloomy face.

After all, Zhang Liu just reminded everyone present that what they produce is the best high-end SUV under two million!

Nowadays, there are better and safer new lithium batteries. Is it suitable to use ternary lithium batteries with lower capacity, higher weight, and incomparable safety?
