Rebirth Starts From 2006

,!

After Gao Lei finished speaking, Chen Yang nodded slowly,

Tesla has been developing a system for ten years before it can finally be used in mass-produced vehicles. If he does it this way, the day lily will be gone, let alone become the leader in new energy vehicles.

Boss Jia is the most typical example. He had to work hard to develop his own power system. In the end, the power solution he developed was recognized, and a new energy vehicle company actually approached him to purchase it.

But the future is gone.

I'm obviously selling cars, but I end up relying on selling scientific research results to survive. Isn't this stupid?

Chen Yang nodded slightly, acknowledged Gao Lei's words, and then smiled,

"So, do you have a goal?"

"have,"

Gao Lei said seriously, "SAIC and GM have a very good cooperative relationship. I go to GM headquarters every year for exchanges and visits, and I know their technology very well.

In fact, in the past ten years from the 1990s to the present, electric vehicle technology has not been greatly improved, and many technologies at that time are not outdated now.

I think GM’s technical reserves in electric systems still have a lot to offer.

The best way is to buy all their relevant patents, and then we can conduct research and development based on these patented technologies. This can save a lot of time and capital costs.

If they really don’t want to sell it, they still need to get their patent authorization.

In this regard, I am confident. "

This is the advantage of finding industry experts.

The reason why big names are great is not only because of their technology, but also because of their teams, connections, and even financial advantages.

The purpose of joining forces is to make a greater cause.

If any boss regards Daniel as an ordinary worker, he is totally wrong.

Boss Chen is obviously not this kind of person.

He originally valued Gao Lei very much, but now that he learned that he was the driving force behind the FF car, it was even more serious.

Not to mention being on par with Huang Shan and Qin Yu, well, this is completely impossible. The two of them started their friendship together in the humble beginnings to make money together, and cannot be replaced by anyone else.

But it should be taken more seriously than Zhou Daoen and Dai Shouliang.

It can be considered as a partner level.

Chen Yang pondered for two seconds, then turned to Huang Shan and said, "If our people cooperate with Mr. Gao, can we directly buy their technology patents?"

Huang Shan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, turned to Qin Yu and smiled,

Although the company's M\u0026A team is all under Huang Shan's command, that is the United States and Miss Qin's territory.

Besides, Rainbow Investment Bank has related business. Of course, this kind of good opportunity must be given to Miss Qin politely.

Qin Yu rolled his eyes at her implicitly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said to Gao Lei, "When will the acquisition application be initiated?"

Gao Lei thought for a while and said, "I need to prepare some information and manpower, and registering a company will also take time. The fastest, half a month later."

He has a lot of dealings with GM, and a lot of data has been backed up, so he can just find it and sort it out.

As for manpower,

What big guy doesn’t have a group of subordinates following him? Now that he is leaving SAC, it is estimated that at least 80% of the subordinates in the original team will follow him. Those who don’t want to leave are either new people or preparing to retire. of,

Anyone with a bit of career ambition will not stay there. This is not about a job. You used to work with Boss Gao, but now that another boss has come to power, will they still reuse you?

Especially in a strong company like Shangqi, the most important thing is people.

Qin Yu nodded and said,

"Half a month is fine. The people on my side won't be here for the Spring Festival anyway. You'll be in charge of technology and I'll be in charge of public relations. I'll buy their electric drive system, no problem."

Just over a month ago, the CEOs of the "Big Three" of the U.S. auto industry, General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, gathered in Congress to participate in a hearing, with the purpose of seeking congressional approval of US$25 billion in financial aid.

They are really not short of money now.

Well, especially the bonus benefits for executives,

If Rainbow Investment Bank, on behalf of a newly established automobile company, initiates the acquisition of power systems from General Motors, then based on Qin Yu’s understanding of those executives who take private jets to cry poverty, they will definitely not mind using a bunch of completely useless Use the backward technology that can only be left in the database to gather dust, to establish a relationship with the popular fried chicken Rainbow Group,

So, the final result is probably,

The car company gets the power system technology it wants. While GM earns a little pocket money, it can explore the possibility of in-depth cooperation with Caihong Group, such as issuing a large amount of bonds or private placement of shares. Caihong Investment Bank can also take advantage of this Develop a super big customer.

According to Boss Chen’s economic development speculation, Qin Yu is not worried about GM going bankrupt at all.

In this case, when other peers are afraid of the "Big Three", Rainbow Group takes advantage of it. This is very reasonable!

Hey, based on this calculation, it seems that the dividends brought by the subprime mortgage crisis have not been exhausted yet.

While Qin Yu was daydreaming alone, Gao Lei looked at her calmly, smiled slightly, and stopped discussing the topic.

The president of the American Rainbow Group personally took action, so there should be no problem with this matter!

After pondering for two seconds, he looked at Boss Chen again and said seriously,

"Director Chen, now that we have reached an intention to cooperate, I would like to communicate with you about the company's future development direction."

"Um,"

Chen Yang nodded, pressed the button to add water to the teapot, looked at him and said, "You tell me."

Gao Lei pondered for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then said,

“First of all, I want to talk about the car itself;

In order to achieve automotive mobility, two technologies are needed. The first is automotive technology, which must be electrically driven. "

Chen Yang leaned back and leaned on the back of his chair, nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, you just said that you would first purchase the battery system and electric drive system from outside, and you have already chosen the target.

After completing the acquisition, we will conduct independent research and development on this basis and strive to create a world-class or even top-notch electric drive system. "

"Yes,"

Gao Lei looked at Boss Chen and said seriously, "The cars we design are aimed at the high-end market. Since we are going to be in the high-end market, we must use the most high-end technology so that our technology can be compared with any other company."

After a pause, he emphasized again, emphasizing,

“What I’m talking about is not just a startup, but we want to get to a point in the future where we can compare it to Audi, or even BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche.

These top car companies have unimaginable technical reserves. If one day they also release an electric drive system, I hope we can still talk about power density and power range and tell the world that Faraday Future has the most advanced technology currently available. Technology,

I hope this can become the core goal of the company. "

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, looked at him and said, "Technology comes first, I agree, there is no problem."

Gao Lei smiled. He was not surprised at all by Boss Chen's answer.

After all, the examples of Damai and Zhanrui are there. It is impossible for him to be more stingy about the new energy vehicles that he attaches most importance to.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to invest 10 billion US dollars at once.

What is the use of giving so much money?

There is no doubt that the biggest destination for this huge sum of money is to build a new super car production base, and the rest must be invested in research and development.

Gao Lei is already imagining what this world-class super car R\u0026D center will look like.

Or maybe it will be called the Wolfsburg of the East,

However, Gao Lei hopes that one day, it will surpass Wolfsburg and become a holy place in the hearts of car enthusiasts around the world. He is willing to fight for this goal throughout his life.

After taking a breath and calming down his slightly excited mood, Gao Lei picked up the tea cup and took a sip before continuing,

"What we want to build is not just a new energy vehicle, but also a smart car. This smart car has various highly intelligent functions, especially human-machine interconnection.

If we want to create such an interconnected car, if we want to create a specific Internet living space in this car, then we need connectivity in the car, that is, high-speed communication capabilities, a screen, and an operating system. Digital ecosystems are needed,

and everything related. "

After a pause, Gao Lei looked at Boss Chen seriously, barely having the energy to worry about the three people next to him.

He said,

“Many entrepreneurs, especially founders, hope that all functions of their products will be developed by their own companies.

Everything that customers can reach are the company's own products."

Having said this, he suddenly paused, picked up his mobile phone on the table again, and said,

“For example, Damai mobile phone has its own operating system and its own hardware, and its chips are being independently developed through Zhanrui.

Even the software in your mobile phone is largely owned by you.

This will give customers a very deep impression, that is, Damai can do anything! "

After taking a breath, Gao Lei put down his phone, looked at the four people staring at him, and said seriously,

"However, from a certain perspective, both the mobile phone itself and the software inside it can be regarded as electronic and related products. I wonder if there is any problem when I say this?"

"Well,"

Chen Yang thought for a while and smiled, "There is a small problem, but it's not important. Just tell me what you think."

He wanted to explain that Damai does not produce everything on its mobile phones in-house. For example, the lenses for the cameras in the mobile phones can only be purchased from outside sources.

But these are not important, he probably understands what Gao Lei means.

Hearing Boss Chen's words, Gao Lei smiled sheepishly, but did not explain much and continued,

"My idea is that new car companies should not do everything, just cars, and leave other aspects to professionals!"

Hearing this, Chen Yang nodded secretly in his heart, and it turned out to be pretty much what he had guessed.

Then he picked up the teacup and took a sip, looked at him and smiled,

"Mr. Gao, you mean that the core business of this new car company should focus on the car itself, especially the key power drive system.

As for those human-computer interaction systems and various intelligent programs, should they be left to other professional companies? "

"Yes,"

Gao Lei nodded seriously and said,

“I generally divide cars into two attributes. One is mechanical attributes, including various auxiliary systems and power systems, which are also classified under this attribute.

The other parts of human-computer interaction and vehicle-mounted intelligent systems are of electronic nature, and this part should belong to software and computers,"

He raised his hands and made gestures, "In fact, this can divide the future automobile industry into two parts.

One is the car itself, which requires no further explanation.

Another, I think, a new type of company will emerge, which is a supplier of mobile service systems for cars.

This type of supplier will provide a complete automotive ecosystem for cars, just like Damai's Hongmeng system, which is intelligent, Internet-based and social. Through an in-vehicle system, it is equipped with many software that car owners are interested in.

This software can be freely selected by them and eventually become part of the car. "

Having said this, Gao Lei paused, looked at Boss Chen solemnly, and said,

"But this part is not what I'm good at.

Therefore, if you feel that this part should be included in the company, like Damai, to create a fully ecological closed loop, then I need an expert in this field to be responsible for controlling the entire vehicle intelligent system project.

Or, I suggest that this part be spun off directly and not included in the assets of this company.

Damai, a subsidiary of Rainbow Group, has the strength to undertake this project. I think this is the best choice. "

When he finished speaking and put down his hands, Chen Yang looked at him, pondered for two seconds, and said,

"I understand what you mean. Your idea is that it is better for this car company to focus on the car itself.

As for the intelligent system, it is left to professional companies. Whether it is Damai or others, Faraday Future just puts forward the requirements and then purchases them. "

"Yes, "

Gao Lei nodded and said seriously, "I think this is the most efficient way."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Huang Shan and said with a smile, "I don't rule out that if one day, our Faraday Future achieves great success, the company is very large and the management is very perfect,

At that time, maybe I will propose to buy this project back to make up for this shortcoming.

But for now, I think this is the best option if we all want this car to be available soon. "

Chen Yang pursed his lips and nodded slightly, turned to look at Huang Shan, and said with a smile, "Mr. Shan, what do you think?"

Huang Shan pondered for a moment, raised her head and said with a smile,

"This is very simple. Honggu Capital cooperates with Damai Communications to invest in an automotive system company specializing in creating a super automotive electronics ecosystem.

Whether it is current vehicle systems, human-computer interaction, or future driverless driving, these are the research scope of this company.

Moreover, the products developed can not only be supplied to Faraday Future, but also to other automobile manufacturers, killing two birds with one stone! "
