Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

Nanshan Group companies hold a high-level meeting for the entire system at the beginning of each year.

Summarize the achievements and lessons of the previous year and plan some new projects for this year.

However, after being divided into five groups, the meetings are now held separately for each group.

By mid-January, the summary meetings of each group had been held one after another.

Various related plans have also begun to be disclosed to the public.

"Mr. Cao, when are you free to come to Chang'an for an inspection?"

After seeing the various plans of the Nanshan Group, Liu Tianwu thought again and again and decided to call Cao Yang in person.

The semiconductor industry, the aerospace industry, and the new materials industry are now the three industries that Chang'an City attaches the most importance to.

In this field, Nanshan Semiconductor, Venusstar Technology and Nanshan Carbon Fiber are all industry leaders.

As long as they can be invited to invest, Chang'an City's GDP growth rate in the next few years will be guaranteed.

However, Chang'an Province is definitely not the only province and city that wants to invite Nanshan Group companies to invest.

Liu Tianwu used to have a good relationship with Cao Yang, and they have witnessed each other's growth together.

He must take advantage of such an advantage.

"There are many projects being tackled at Venustech during this period, and I have no plans to go on a business trip for the time being."

"But I will definitely go to Chang'an this year to take a look. Nanshan Semiconductor's new factory there will soon be put into production."

Cao Yang actually knew what Liu Tianwu meant by inviting him to go for an inspection.

He didn't mind continuing to expand investment in Chang'an.

However, there is really no time now.

The starship at Venustech is about to prepare for its first official launch, and there are still many things that need to be confirmed in various aspects.

"No problem, when you set the itinerary, let Xiaomi tell my secretary, and I will personally accompany you to the inspection."

Cao Yang doesn't like business trips very much, and Liu Tianwu also knows this.

Although this invitation was not successful, Cao Yang did not refuse it.

For Liu Tianwu, it is still acceptable.

After all, Cao Yang has no plan to go to other places for inspection.

In addition to the inspection invitations from various places, many manufacturers in the industry are also adjusting their strategies in combination with some ideas announced by Nanshan companies in 2016.

"Mr. Wang, we plan to build a new foundry in Yangcheng to fully meet Honor Technology's next market demand."

"According to the current situation, Honor Technology's sales of various products such as mobile phones and computers will have a relatively large increase in 2016, and are expected to continue to increase in 2017."

"At the same time, Huawei's sales are also increasing, and our foundry capacity may be insufficient at any time."

Zhong Qiang is now very worried that because BYD's production capacity is insufficient, Honor Technology or Huawei will find a new foundry.

This is very difficult for them to accept.

BYD's performance in recent years has been very good, which is inseparable from the rapid development of its foundry business.

Many domestic foundry manufacturers are also trying their best to contact Honor Technology and Huawei, wanting to help them with foundry.

Some of their quotations are already more than 20% lower than BYD's quotations.

Zhong Qiang is not unaware of these news.

"The labor cost in the Pearl River Delta is getting higher and higher. If we build a foundry in Yangcheng, will the cost be too high?"

Wang Fu will definitely not oppose the necessary expansion of production capacity. Sometimes he is even more radical than Zhong Qiang.

However, the newly built factory involves various investments. If the labor cost is even higher in the end, it is obviously very disadvantageous.

"Although Yangcheng is next to Shenzhen, the labor cost is actually much lower than that in Shenzhen."

"And there are more lowlands there, so the choices are relatively rich."

"Compared with Shenzhen, the final cost should be more than 30% lower, and compared with our foundry in southern Hunan Province, there will not be a particularly large gap."

Zhong Qiang has obviously considered this issue before.

After all, if you want to invest in building a new factory, you must consider the pros and cons of all aspects.

Otherwise, how could it be so easy to pass the board of directors' review?

"In that case, let's get started as soon as possible."

"But we must also communicate well with the customers to let them know our efforts."

Wang Fu gave a few instructions and agreed to build a new factory.

Of course, some specific arrangements must be reviewed within the company.

Compared with BYD's simultaneous expansion of production capacity, BMW China is a little uncertain about how to adjust its goals for the new year.

"Phillips, China's luxury car market has been growing for more than ten years, and many people in the industry think it may have reached a bottleneck stage."

"Now Nanshan Automobile Group has announced its sales target for 2016, with an increase of 20%."

"This will inevitably bring greater pressure to other luxury brands."

Aimoha first explained the background to Phillips.

Otherwise, it would be a bit strange to suddenly mention not to continue to raise the target.

"Our current model layout is much more complete than before, from X1, X3, X5 to X6 and X7, plus 1 series, 3 series, 5 series, 7 series sedans, basically we have all the models that can be launched."

"Under this situation, if we can't achieve a continuous increase in sales, I'm afraid the headquarters will not be very satisfied."

"Especially last year, although our sales in China exceeded Mercedes-Benz, we lagged behind in terms of global total sales."

"The headquarters hopes that the China branch can make more contributions."

After Phillips said this, Amoha felt a little speechless.

The China branch surpassed Mercedes-Benz, but was overtaken by it throughout the year. Shouldn't it make efforts in other markets to close the gap?

Why do we have to make further contributions from the China branch?

This is a typical case of the harder you work, the more work you will be assigned.

But Phillips is his boss, and he can't just refuse.

"Now not only our BMW has launched a variety of models, but also brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Audo, Volvo and Lexus."

"As for Xingchen Automobile and Jaguar Land Rover, it goes without saying that they have their own absolutely advantageous market position in China."

"It is very difficult to further expand the market."

Whether it is done in the end or not, the difficulty must be made clear first.

In this way, even if it is not done in the end, there will be some room for easing.

Otherwise, it will be very passive at that time.

"It is definitely difficult to seize market share from the existing market."

"But there is still hope to seize customers from the new market."

"The BMW brand still has some unique influence on many Chinese people."

"Didn't China have a saying in the past that it is better to cry in a BMW than to laugh on the back of a bicycle?"

"I think the company can work harder in marketing, even if it means paying more marketing costs."

After Phillips said this, Amoha couldn't help but complain in his heart: You all know that this is what was said in the past, not now.

Do you really think Xingchen Auto and Jaguar Land Rover are just for free?

However, he could only keep these words in his heart and could not say them out loud.

"We try our best, but it is hard to say what will happen in the end. The current market is too complicated."

Phillips was not very satisfied with Aimoha's answer.

But he also knew that the other party was telling the truth.

China's auto market has become more and more special, and many past experiences may not be useful.

...

"Mr. Cao, this year the relevant departments have officially decided to purchase 50 battalions of air defense missile systems."

"It seems that everyone is very satisfied with the system you developed during the past year of use verification."

"At the same time, there will be at least 20 orders for the H-20."

"There will also be at least 100 other heavy transport helicopters."

"The current military orders for Venustech will increase rapidly."

Pan Jun, the military representative, is now doing very well.

Today, Venustech has become the largest private military enterprise in China.

Cao Yang's idea of ​​building Venusstar Technology into a world-leading military-industrial complex has been gradually implemented.

"The current international environment is also changing rapidly, and the relevant departments do need more advanced equipment to enhance their strength."

"Venusstar Technology's products are very competitive in the world, and we are confident that we can provide more products for the relevant departments."

This is definitely not the time to be modest.

The performance of various aerospace products of Venusstar Technology is absolutely leading in China and first-class in the world.

It is even first-class in the world.

In this case, it would be strange if the relevant departments did not purchase on a large scale.

This year is a landmark year, and Cao Yang thinks that there will be more purchase orders from relevant departments in the next few years.

After all, China has a vast territory, and the demand for various equipment is very strong.

Globally, relevant departments can't find a more suitable cooperative manufacturer than Venusstar Technology.

"This year, the relevant departments have begun to equip the fifth-generation fighter jets on a large scale. This part of the aircraft has cost a relatively large budget, otherwise the number of products purchased from your company will be even greater."

"However, Venusstar Technology seems to have never studied fighter jets. What do you think about this, Mr. Cao?"

Pan Wei asked curiously.

Although China already has fifth-generation fighters, there is only one product, which is sometimes not enough.

If there is another backup option, it would be the best.

Only competition can better promote equipment progress, and Pan Jun also has a deep understanding of this.

"Several companies in AVIC are working hard on fighter research."

"As far as I know, the current achievements are very good, and the performance has surpassed the American F35, and even the F22."

"In this case, unless Venustech has some disruptive technology, it is meaningless to produce the same type."

"It would be better to invest some resources in relatively weak areas in the country so that the performance of China's military products can be greatly improved."

When Cao Yang said this, Pan Jun couldn't help but nodded.

For Huaxia, it is indeed necessary to solve the existing problems first, and then consider diversifying product choices.

For example, companies are already researching fifth-generation fighter jets, so Venus doesn’t have to be so anxious to get involved.

They can research areas that other companies are not involved in.

After all, there are choices, there is no need to stick to one place.

Wait until there are no new areas to choose from before going inward.

…

Pan Jun had just left Cao Yang's office, and Zhao Siyu also came over to report on the arrival of astronauts at the lunar orbiting space station and the test flight of the starship.

"Mr. Cao, the astronauts are currently in space heading towards the lunar orbiting space station, and progress in all aspects is proceeding as planned."

"After they arrive at the space station, they will be mainly responsible for assisting in the arrangements for the next lunar exploration rover to land on the moon."

"At the same time, our starship will officially conduct its first launch on the first day of the first lunar month."

Zhao Siyu is now full of energy.

The sense of accomplishment that his work brings him is unparalleled by anything else.

After all, Daystar Technology has really been cheating in recent years, with various achievements emerging one after another.

They are the world's leading technological achievements at every turn, and none of the companies can match them.

This impact is very huge.

"Did you find any bad design?"

There's nothing to worry about when it comes to success, but it's the problematic areas that need the most attention.

Fortunately, Zhao Siyu's answer was quite reassuring.

"Everything is currently proceeding as planned and no problems have been found."

"If I have to say there is something to worry about, then everyone is relatively unsure about the first flight of the starship."

"After all, there is no relevant experience in the world for such a large rocket, especially when it needs to be recovered and tested, which makes it even more difficult."

Zhao Siyu hesitated for a moment, then expressed his worries.

Because he is really not very sure about this aspect.

If something unexpected happens then, it is possible.

"The development of starships will definitely not be smooth sailing. As long as the shortcomings of the last time can be improved every time and continue to move forward, it will be a success."

Cao Yang knew that during the later space exploration technology company's research on starships, he didn't know how many spacecrafts were blown up.

But every time there is improvement compared to the last time, which is already remarkable, and all parties are very satisfied.

Successfully completing all the work at once is a bit inconsistent with everyone's understanding.

Especially for such a complex starship, it is a very big challenge just to produce all the parts according to the drawing requirements.

There is no problem in all kinds of assembly, which is another huge challenge.

As for the fact that there are no problems with the design, this is a question that no one can answer.
