Reborn to dominate technology

Lu Haifeng sat alone in his office, pondering. He had acquired engine technology, transmission technology, and chassis technology. What was missing? Suddenly, he realized: a production line! What could he do without a production line?

So, he purchased an engine production line with a capacity of 200,000 units per year and a transmission production line.

Lu Haifeng also saw a black technology fully automated production platform. After looking at it, he couldn't help but marvel at the black technology produced by the system. It was truly amazing, but he couldn't afford it. Even if he could, he wouldn't need it.

This fully automated car production platform was incredibly powerful. As long as there were manufacturing blueprints, the platform could automatically produce a new car based on the blueprints, and all the materials would be provided by the system.

Of course, this powerful function came with an even more powerful price tag.

A-class car manufacturing cost: 500,000 / vehicle

B-class car manufacturing cost: 1,000,000 / vehicle

C-class car manufacturing cost: 2,000,000 / vehicle

… … … …

This ridiculously high price made Lu Haifeng look away. In the end, he bought a car production line with a capacity of 200,000 units.

Let's see what he bought: EA888 engine technology, 8AT transmission technology, full-time four-wheel-drive technology, adjustable car chassis platform technology, an engine production line, a transmission production line, and a car production line. Lu Haifeng was speechless. He couldn't afford it! All of this was worth over 10 billion.

Since he couldn't afford it, he decided to look at recruiting system tool people in the automotive field. Lu Haifeng clicked on the automotive recruitment category:

Mechanical Master: Proficient in all mechanical knowledge and skills, especially in automotive engine technology, transmission technology, and chassis technology. An invaluable high-end industrial talent.

Electronic Master: Proficient and knowledgeable in all aspects of electronics, especially in automotive electronic control systems and automotive lighting groups. An invaluable high-end industrial talent.

Handcraft Master: Proficient in manual operations, manual polishing, and various other skills. Also familiar with various professional mechanical knowledge, especially in manufacturing purely handcrafted cars. An invaluable and highly specialized worker.

There were many other types of workers that could be recruited. Lu Haifeng selected several types of work that he could use now. These worker-type talents were exactly what Lu Haifeng needed now.

In the future, with so many workers recruited, he would need to build a large comprehensive laboratory.

… … … …

In the afternoon, all department heads of Huaxing Technology received a notice from the company, even the system tool people in the laboratory received the notice.

The backbone of Huaxing Technology gathered in the conference room. It was the first time they had seen such a large formation. Anyone with eyes could tell that the boss was about to make a big move. A group of people were quietly talking in the conference room, faintly excited.

More than ten minutes later, Lu Haifeng walked in with a memorandum.

Everyone was stunned. It was the first time they had seen the boss so serious. So, one by one, they sat up straight, looking at all the core members of their company in the conference room. Lu Haifeng placed the memorandum on the table, took out the information clipped inside, and handed it to his secretary, Xiao Ai, to distribute.

Lu Haifeng began to speak: "Today's meeting is to set a development plan for the next step of Huaxing Technology. First, take a look at this family passenger car research report. What do you see?"

"I read the family passenger car research report from the marketing department yesterday afternoon, the one in your hands. Take a look. A-class cars suppress domestic car companies in the market, B-class cars reap the market, and C-class cars are luxury-grade, which is basically robbing money."

After hearing him say this, everyone quickly and carefully read it again. After Lu Haifeng's organization, most people understood.

"Everyone understands, right? A-class cars are cheap and have large sales, a touchstone and stepping stone for domestic car companies."

"However, these foreign brands use ultra-low A-class car prices to occupy most of the domestic market share, taking away the space for domestic car development."

"Of course, if they were only doing this, then our people would be getting real benefits. But is it really that simple? Of course not. How could capitalists do losing business?"

"After successfully limiting the development of local cars, they can fleece them with B-class cars, so there are B-class cars with higher premiums."

After Lu Haifeng finished speaking, everyone was furious. No wonder independent brands couldn't develop, the reason was here.

"President Lu, just give the order. What should we do? We can accomplish anything if we work together."

"Yes, President Lu, just tell us."

Lu Haifeng pressed down with both hands and stood up straight: "Huaxing Technology will officially enter the automotive manufacturing industry starting today. Why can they build cars? I don't believe we can't."

"Now, the first step, which is what our Huaxing Technology will do, is to re-establish a car brand. This brand will launch a family car brand for the domestic market. This will be the focus of our work in the near future. After this brand is successful, we will form an industrial scale, continuously develop towards both ends of the market, and continuously expand upstream and downstream of the industry, making achievements in independent production and manufacturing."

"However, in the current situation, we certainly can't enter the A-class car market and directly fight these bastards head-on."

"We are still far from forming an industrial scale and cannot gain an advantage in cost. What do consumers value most when buying an A-class car? It's the price advantage. If we can't control the cost of A-class cars, then we will be led by their rhythm, and we can't go in."

"Now, we can only do it like we did with mobile phones. Do you remember how we divided our first mobile phone?"

"Mid-range, high-end, top-level luxury phone," everyone answered.

"So, we will build B-class luxury cars."

"Just like making mobile phones, we will bloom in the center and expand to the upper and lower ends. We will compete with some established car companies and have a head-on contest with them in the domestic market."

"Haha, ha!"

Everyone in the office laughed.

"The second thing is that the construction department has some heavy tasks next year. There must be a flagship store in each first, second, and third-tier city, just like the mobile phone flagship store. There must be a direct-operated store in each first, second, and third-tier city."

"Okay, I guarantee to complete the task," Luo Feng, the head of the construction department, replied.

"President Lu, we don't have that much money in our account to support so many projects!" said Qin Jing from the finance department.

"At the end of this month, someone from overseas institutions will come back with car design drawings, and they will lend us hundreds of billions in cash by then."

"The third step is to acquire a company with a car production license."

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Your family has a car production license. Your dad just hasn't put up the sign."

Lu Haifeng was stunned. His father's factory had always been making car accessories, and he didn't know they had a car production license. It seemed he had to ask when he got home tonight.
