"Is the chairman here?" The man asked an aunt at the door as soon as he arrived.
"He's having dinner with the young lady, I'll go and inform him!" The aunt said.
"No, no, no, I don't dare to disturb the chairman's meal. I'll wait here. When the chairman is done, please help me inform him!" The man said quickly. The aunt nodded, and he ran to the yard to wait. Then he saw Kristoff, who was also sitting in the garden. The two of them stared at each other in an instant.
"This foreign brother, are you also here to see the chairman?" This person was a college student, and his English was very fluent.
"I'm here to weed Mr. Jia's yard!" Kristoff said faintly, and then he didn't want to be entangled in this issue anymore, so he asked curiously, "What's the matter with the car just now? It looks like a bicycle, but it can move without pedals. But if it's a motorcycle, it's too small, and there's no engine! "
"Of course, this is our company's unique product: Electric Bicycle!!" When the other party heard this, he immediately replied proudly.
This person is naturally BYD's Wang Chuanfu. After the incident at the beginning of this year, Wang Chuanfu himself has calmed down a lot. While steadily developing the market, he has continued to improve the electric bicycle. Now, he has opened up a small market in China.
Because the price was lower than motorcycles, and the speed wasn't too slow, it was very suitable for the current situation in China. Therefore, electric bikes gradually found a good market in China. Although it wasn't to the extent that electric bikes could be found all over the country like in the future, occasionally one or two electric bikes could be seen on the streets.
However, Wang Chuanfu is still not satisfied with this situation, because the economic situation of China is still not very good, so electric bicycles are still a small market in China, so Wang Chuanfu specially came to Boss Jia to discuss some of his new ideas, but he didn't expect to meet a foreigner like Kristoff outside the door.
Since a foreigner was interested in his baby, and Wang Chuanfu had some ideas in his mind, he immediately started chatting with the foreigner and told him about the electric bicycle.
"This is actually a bicycle that is completely powered by electricity!" After listening to Wang Chuanfu's explanation, Kristoff finally understood the working principle of this electric bicycle.
This was one of a kind in the world, and Kristoff had never seen it before. Some people might find it strange. Electric bicycles are just installing an electric motor on a bicycle. The technology of foreigners is so advanced. How can they not invent electric bicycles?
That was indeed the case. First of all, it was not easy to install a motor on a bicycle. At least before the brushless motor technology matured, it was impossible, unless you could make an electric bicycle the size of an electric tricycle.
Right, there was once a very popular self-media article on the Internet, saying that the brushless motor was invented by a death row inmate. This was actually nonsense. Although the death row inmate applied for a patent, it was not approved. Moreover, his so-called patent was just some simple ideas. The entire brushless motor system was actually something that matured in the early 1990s under the research and development of many people.
But in the 1990s, motorcycles had been invented for hundreds of years. With the existence of motorcycles, foreigners were not interested in electric bicycles. Other than the fact that they did not consume fuel, they were not as good as motorcycles.
Therefore, when Wang Chuanfu curiously asked, "Foreign big bro, do you think my scooter would sell in Europe or America?", Kristoff didn't even need to think about it before replying that it was an impossible matter.
"I can't say for other countries, but I am sure that in the United States, because of motorcycles, your electric bicycle will not have any market!" Kristoff said firmly.
It seemed to be true. Electric bicycles had been popular in Hua Xia for more than 10 years, but there was still no news about electric bicycles in Europe and America.
Moreover, oil prices abroad were very cheap, and the cost of fuel for motorcycles was not particularly high. Moreover, the United States was sparsely populated. With an electric bicycle's range of tens of kilometers, it would not be able to support long-distance activities in the United States.
Therefore, Kristoff's words were rather prophetic.
"So it's like this!" Wang Chuanfu helplessly scratched his head. Could it be that the plan he had just thought of was going to fail just like that?
Wang Chuanfu's plan to look for Boss Jia was very simple. It was to sell electric bicycles overseas. With the level of consumption abroad, as long as he could enter the market, buying a few million bicycles would be a piece of cake. Then his BYD would be able to hold its head high in the Daqian Group.
In fact, BYD had been very proud in the Daqian Group recently. With the continuous development of lithium-ion battery technology, the batteries used in Daqian mobile phones and PDAs were all rechargeable lithium-ion batteries produced by BYD. This was a unique technology in the Daqian Group.
And more and more devices required batteries. BYD's position in the Daqian Group was rising steadily.
But then again, no matter how good BYD is in the battery industry, it is still a battery seller. It cannot face the consumers and establish its own brand. So, Wang Chuanfu wants to create a consumer product. That's why it is so awesome.
But in the end, the electric bicycles' progress in the domestic market was slow. When they finally wanted to enter the foreign market, they were severely beaten by Kristoff.
"Also, the batteries used in your electric bicycles are too environmentally friendly!" Wang Chuanfu's eyes lit up, and then he froze on the spot. Kristoff waited for a long time, then he suddenly jumped up and slapped his thigh hard. "Yes, how could I forget? Our electric scooter is the most environmentally friendly!" Wang Chuanfu's eyes lit up when he heard Kristoff's words. Wang Chuanfu was stunned, and after a long time, he suddenly jumped up and patted his thigh hard.
"Nani!" Kristoff was stunned for a moment. Then, he complained, "Your electric bicycles use batteries. The batteries are filled with all kinds of heavy metals. Do you know how much damage it will cause to the environment once the batteries are abandoned? How can yours be the most environmentally friendly?! "
"But our electric bicycles have no exhaust!" Wang Chuanfu said excitedly. "Don't worry about the battery pollution. No matter how big the battery pollution is, the customers can't see it. But the exhaust can be seen with the naked eye. It's very choking!"
"Our electric bicycles have no exhaust, so they don't produce carbon dioxide. Our electric bicycles are the most environmentally friendly!"
"I heard that you foreigners like to be environmentally friendly. My product is so environmentally friendly, it should sell well!"
