Technological Hegemony

In fact, Luo Jia never regarded himself as such a great person. When he was at home, his mother still forced him to eat the leftovers in the bowl, otherwise he would talk about the hard work. table.

However, in the eyes of Luo Jia's partners, it was very different. Knowing that he was coming, Boss Dong of Yadi Company had been waiting in the company early.

As soon as Luo Jia arrived, he brought the entire company's management team out to greet him. On a hot day, they all wore white shirts and ties in a business style.

Luo Jia has no airs and is easy to deal with, but Luo Jia has very high requirements for partners.

In the field of electric vehicles in the past, there was quite a mixture of good and evil, and the product quality was uneven.

Therefore, Luo Jia set up rules for them. As an important product related to traffic safety, the quality must be high.

Before the product goes on the market, it has to go through the inspection of Xingchen Technology. The technical nerds in the Mechanical Division think that this product is good, so they can sell it.

Are those technical nerds in the mechanical department of Xingchen Technology ordinary people?

Certainly not!

Dozens of samples were sent back and forth, and 90% of them were sent back directly by those technical nerds.

The friction coefficient of the tire is insufficient, so it is rebuilt.

The braking distance is not enough, so it is rebuilt.

The welding process is not up to standard, so it is still remanufactured.

Yadea and Emma are currently the two largest electric car manufacturers in China, with an annual sales volume of 5 million units, and their technical strength is the most powerful in this industry.

Even so, Yadea worked hard to meet the technical standards required by Luo Jia.

After taking a seat in the office, Boss Dong asked the secretary to serve tea. Luo Jia didn't have the habit of drinking hot tea in summer, so he directly ordered a bottle of iced coconut juice.

Luo Jia said straight to the point, "This time we have three types of products launched at the same time, and you are the latest batch from the mechanical team, so I came here to take a look."

Boss Dong was sweating profusely, feeling very guilty.

Luo Jia is very ambitious this time, and directly launched three types of electric products, in addition to electric vehicles, there are also electric motorcycles.

Wuyang,

Xindazhou, Jialing, Qingqi, Haojue, Zongshen, these manufacturers are all superior in technical strength to Yadea and Emma, ​​after all, they used to make motorcycles.

The Suzuki GS250 made by Haojue, the Honda today made by Sundiro, the Honda CB190 made by Wuyang, the logo motorcycle made by Qingqi, the Piaggio and Aprilia made by Zongshen, all of these will be sold in the neon and European markets .

Luo Jia told them that domestic electric motorcycles must meet strict quality standards, and manufacturers like Haojue can do it immediately because they already have technical strength.

There is also a type of electric bicycle, such as a Giant mountain bike, which does not move from shifting to braking. Only a 200W micro motor is installed on the front wheel, a small battery pack and an electric controller are installed on the beam, and the switch and electronic controller are replaced. brake.

It looks exactly like a mountain bike. From the frame to the tires to the transmission, it also meets the strict European standards. It is just a lightweight modification made on the basis of a mountain bike, and the quality is also great. .

Of course, Luo Jia did not cooperate with Giant and Merida this time, but chose Phoenix, Forever, Feige, Xidesheng, Fujitec, the largest domestic bicycle factories, and they are responsible for lightweight electric bicycles product.

These domestic manufacturers have been suppressed by Wanwan manufacturers for many years, and with the support of Luo Jia, they are finally hardened this time.

In fact, the quality of their products is not bad at all. North American Trek and Lightning sell for tens of thousands of yuan. Many models are manufactured by factories in Tianjin and Guangdong.

These domestic bicycle factories have technical strength, but it is a pity that the brand is not good. If you talk about Fujitec bicycles to others, let alone foreigners, Chinese people have never heard of them, so they can only do OEM to make a little money.

The above two are manufacturers with their own strength but lack of branding and marketing. They have no problem and have already prepared. As long as Luo Jia gives an order, they will immediately push their products to the world.

Only manufacturers like Emma and Yadea are more troublesome. Their products are not as powerful as electric motorcycles, and not as light as electric bicycles. They are unique to China. They are not called electric motorcycles or electric bicycles, but electric vehicles.

If it is accurately positioned, electric vehicles should belong to ultra-lightweight electric motorcycles. The power of electric bicycles does not exceed 500W, and the power of electric motorcycles does not exceed 1000W. The products of Yadea and Emma are in the middle of the two gears, and their technical capabilities are in the middle At last.

Luo Jia paused, "There are too many manufacturers of electric products in China. In the future, we must form three to five giant companies through fierce competition, so as to have international competitiveness."

"Although your products have been approved, it is up to you whether you can beat the motorcycle factory headed by Haojue and the bicycle factory headed by Phoenix."

Boss Dong was taken aback for a moment, his expression became serious, and he said seriously, "Mr. Luo, please rest assured. First, we have decided to go all out. Second, even if we lose when the time comes, we are willing to admit defeat."

Luo Jia smiled and said, "It's good to understand. It's not that our Xingchen Technology is cruel, but the market competition is inherently cruel. In the heyday of North America, there used to be thousands of car factories, and only three survived in the end."

"And the winner among you will challenge the motorcycle supremacy of Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Harley, KTM, Ducati, Trek, Lightning, Tornado, Nikola, LOOK, Pina , Groundhog's bicycle supremacy, those are ruthless characters."

Boss Dong nodded repeatedly, "Understood, fully understood, if you can't even beat domestic opponents, why should you fight Honda and Suzuki in the future? recognize."

Luo Jia didn't say anything else. He got the news from Professor Ouyang that new regulations will be introduced soon, and the existence of electric vehicles, which is a wonderful thing, will be completely abolished.

In the future, there will only be two products in the market, low-speed electric bicycles that do not need to be certified or listed, while the products made by Yadea will be classified as light electric motorcycles, which need to be certified and listed.

Although those electric vehicles in the past were considered as bicycles, their specifications had exceeded the standard. They ran fast and did not have front and rear disc brakes. Because they had no license or certificate, the traffic police could not do anything about these electric vehicles that exceeded the standard.

But from now on, this abnormal phenomenon will completely disappear in China, and everything must follow the new rules. Reshaping the traffic order is the first step in the future traffic system.

 …

After talking with Boss Dong, Luo Jia left Wuxi and returned to Shanghai.

When Luo Jia saw the news that night, several major cities that took the lead in launching shared motorcycles launched a lightning arrest operation.

The police arrested those who locked the motorcycles privately, moved them back to their yards, and vandalized them, and then charged them with destroying public property according to the law.

It's a lot of fun now.

The police station was overcrowded, and a few brats who tried to pick the locks were also caught by the police uncle. They gave them a severe reprimand, cried until they burst into tears, and finally reported to the school for criticism.

And on the Internet, there was a big discussion about the quality of the people. Netizens applauded the police's action.

"It should have been like this a long time ago! Those who destroy shared bicycles should be arrested and sentenced to ten or twenty years!"

"Support Uncle Police!"

"Protecting shared bicycles is everyone's responsibility!"

Netizens posted barrages one after another. Although sentencing is impossible, arresting them at the police station and giving them a hard education will be enough for those who take advantage of it to remember them for a lifetime.

In the past, the police didn't want to care about such trivial matters, but now they directly deal with heavy hands, immediately deterring a large number of people who love to take advantage of small things, and the social atmosphere has changed dramatically at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, on June 20, new electric vehicle management regulations were released, officially confirming that old-fashioned electric vehicles were banned and could no longer be sold in any form.

Instead, it is the management method of electric bicycles and electric motorcycles.

The management method stipulates that the maximum power of electric bicycles shall not exceed 400W, and the maximum speed shall not exceed 26 kilometers.

This standard has actually been relaxed a lot. Considering that there are magical mountain cities like Chongqing in China, if the electric bicycle has no horsepower, it is really inappropriate to push it down, so the standard is set a little higher.

As for electric motorcycles, there is nothing to say about this. According to the current motorcycle management regulations, there is no shortage of certificates and licenses. If you do not obey the traffic rules, you will be fined and points deducted.

The most troublesome thing is that there are a large number of electric vehicles on the market. It is definitely not appropriate to directly ban them. They are all bought by ordinary people with hard-earned money.

So it can only be guided to quit. If you have an old electric car at home, you are willing to hand it in for recycling. The government will subsidize some money, and you can buy a new one.

If you don’t want to, you can continue to ride. Anyway, this kind of product will not be produced in the future, and the parts will become less and less. In a few years, old-fashioned electric vehicles will completely disappear from China.

In general, domestic public feedback is quite positive.

Luo Jia saw a reporter interviewing an aunt on the street. She sent her battery car to the recycling station and sold it for 400 yuan. After riding for a few laps, my aunt was full of praise.

"My original battery car was too heavy, and I couldn't even help it up when I fell down. It's better than this one. It only weighs about 30 kilograms. It's light to ride and can be charged wirelessly. I'm satisfied. I'm quite satisfied."

Luo Jia also saw a trendy man wearing AJs. He bought a Phoenix mountain bike with a top configuration of more than 10,000 yuan, a carbon fiber frame, and a Shimano M800 transmission.

When the reporter interviewed him, the trendy man explained helplessly that his girlfriend was a cycling enthusiast and would drag him into the mountains on weekends.

And he doesn't like cycling, after more than 100 kilometers, his legs will be tired and broken, but if he doesn't accompany his girlfriend, she will get angry, and when she gets angry, she won't have sex with him.

So Chaonan decided to buy an electric mountain bike. If he wanted to exercise, he would ride for a while, and when he was tired, he would turn on the switch.

All in all, the electric wave has caused some turmoil in China, but its influence is far less than that of foreign countries.

After all, Chinese people have long been accustomed to using electric vehicles, but it was not standardized in the past, but now it is more standardized and advanced.

What really caused a huge impact was the overseas market. Foreigners have never seen this thing. They have always ridden motorcycles or bicycles.

Suddenly, dozens of domestic manufacturers, large and small, appeared in the global market like a pack of wolves with thousands of electric bicycles and electric motorcycles.

The shock it brought was really too great.
