Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

Director Lu still has a plan when doing things, and this planning can be seen in the production base, both in the layout and on the production and installation line.

Although the car project may have been launched in a hurry, the planning is still methodical and planned.

So many years of accumulation are really not in vain.

After visiting Wanxiang Automobile's production base for a day and a half, we set off to Geely's automobile production base.

Jili's automobile production base is not located in Qiantang. Of course, Uncle Li and Jili are very willing to build a factory in Qiantang.

It's a pity that they don't have the strength at all. At the beginning, they even built a factory on the Linhai side under the guise of building a motorcycle factory, and it was still a swamp. It was only in the past two years that they started to move out of Taizhou and enter. Opportunities in Ningbo,

At that time, there happened to be a Japanese-owned enterprise in Beilun, Ningbo. Uncle Li bought 300 acres of vacant land from this enterprise and established the Ningbo production base of Jili Group.

A group of people arrived at Jili's production base in great force. No matter what, Jili's welcome ceremony was very grand. The size of the base here is incomparable to Wanxiang's.

However, after arriving at the place, Jiang Xiaobai found some problems. Both the production base of Huahai Automobile and the production base of Wanxiang were very formal. One workshop next to the other, they all wore uniforms and the like.

But you can’t see it in Jili’s production workshop.

"Director Jiang, our production workshop here at Jili is different from yours. When I started making cars, I had 100 million in capital. To say I was poor is to look down on me, because I had no money at all.

In the car manufacturing industry, I am a poor beggar..."

As Uncle Li said, Jiang Xiaobai also remembered that Uncle Li had a nickname in later generations, that is, car madman, which refers to the crazy energy that Uncle Li had when making cars, but in the history of Jili The most famous one is the "Boss Project" conducted by Uncle Li.

Following Uncle Li's introduction, Jiang Xiaobai and the others also figured out what kind of model Ji Li was.

Uncle Li’s explanation is to invite fund holders to join Geely and set up subsidiaries or branches in partnership with Geely, so that rich people can become “boss”, and people who lack funds but have talent can be invited to join Geely and become Geely. Managers rely on their own talents to become "boss".

To put it bluntly, Uncle Li divided the automobile manufacturing plant into several branches. You make the frame and he makes the body. These are all completed by the contractor himself.

The key point is that even the final assembly workshop is contracted out. Jiang Xiaobai and Factory Director Lu were speechless for a while. The boss's project really lived up to its reputation. I don't know if it was a subcontracting borrowed from the engineering superiors.

The subcontractor in the engineering department learned it from Uncle Li. I don’t know who created this method. Anyway, everyone started to play this method very well later.

Of course, if you put it in a nicer way, there is an explanation. In the words of Uncle Li,

This is called modern joint-stock system, and Jili is the earliest practitioner and beneficiary of this joint-stock system.

Of course, in fact, the reason why someone would invest in such an "unreliable" thing is that Uncle Li made a lot of money for those bosses in businesses such as refrigerators, building materials, and motorcycles, so when he was preparing to build a car , many bosses are still willing to believe in his vision.

However, the facts have also proved that Uncle Li's vision is indeed good, and Geely has gone from being poor at the beginning to becoming one of the top private car companies in the country.

However, Factory Director Lu was a little unconfident when he saw this scene. After dinner on the night of the visit, Factory Director Lu came to see Jiang Xiaobai.

"Dr. Jiang, do you think this Jili can work? Why do I think Jili is a bit mysterious? Not to mention other things, this assembly workshop has been subcontracted. They are broke. What is there? Technology.

Even if you have some skills, they are still in the hands of the boss of the subcontracting workshop. Jili is basically an assembly car..."

Director Lu looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said worriedly. After seeing Jili's subcontracted workshop, he was really worried. He was really worried about cooperating with such a company.

Those workshop owners who were willing to invest with Uncle Li had full confidence in Uncle Li, but after reading it, he was full of doubts. To be honest, it was a miracle that such a company could build a car. .

All kinds of subcontracting, like OEM, he didn't know what Jili had, even the assembly workshop was owned by others.

If Huahai Automobile is a one-stop shop, from the moment the parts come off the production line, it becomes the complete vehicle.

So Geely is just like a dealer. Basically no parts are produced by itself, and even the final assembly process is done by others. Is this really a car company?

Director Lu feels that Geely is more like a car dealer than a car manufacturer.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said: "Yes, this Jili seems a little unreliable. If you look at the current model, they are indeed unreliable.

But when we do business, we sometimes look at things, but more often than not, don’t we also look at people’s cooperation?

Uncle Li is an ambitious and capable person. This boss project subcontracts all the workshops. It seems unreliable, but if you think about it carefully, why are so many subcontractors willing to do so? I'm following Deputy Uncle Li.

Why are they willing to invest? Does this also show that Uncle Li is still charming and everyone is willing to believe in him. "

Factory Director Lu nodded: "Yes, I admit that I, a fellow countryman, is indeed a charming person. Entrepreneurs also need to have this quality. We also came from this time.

But if we cooperate, does Ji Li have this ability? "

Uncle Li felt a little unreliable. Wouldn't cooperation with Jili be equivalent to poverty alleviation?

This is not cooperation at all. This is purely supporting Ji Li. For technical cooperation, you must be more or less skilled. You cannot share it directly.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly remembered a joke from his previous life. The three of us went out to eat, you AA, and I licked B's face.

In the opinion of Factory Director Lu, if we are to cooperate with Geely now, it will be Huahai Automobile and Wanxiang Automobile AA, and then Geely will lick B's face to share technology, so Factory Director Lu is a little reluctant.
