After New Year's Day, Yang Tianzheng arrived at Gu Yi City.
He was now the General Manager of the National League Group's Liupan Province. Every day, he would be accompanied by newspapers and reports. The days went by step and were rather pleasant.
This time, when he came to Guyi, he gave Chen Weizheng and Qu Jie, who usually gave him surprises, a big surprise. The Guolian Supermarket decided that on the fifteenth day of the first month, on the Lantern Festival, a total of ten thousand Fenglin Tianshang cars would be launched at the same time in twelve stores in Liupan. The price would be 38,800 yuan per car.
The Longshan Battery Plant's batteries would be distributed by the National League Group's Liupan Province. There was only one specification, 60v100ah, and the retail price would be 38,800 yuan per car.
They would be accepting pre-orders from that day onwards, and the pre-order fee would be 20%. Wang Hongtao distributed 12 sample cars to Liupan Province and displayed them in 12 supermarkets.
The cars were popular in the Red River, but the main reason why they did not become popular in other places was because of the battery. Everyone did not trust the batteries, so when they ordered from the National League Group's Liupan Province, the National League Group's Liupan Province, which had a good reputation, interacted with Longshan Battery, and everyone's confidence in the batteries increased greatly. Before the 30th day of the first lunar month, nearly 30,000 of the batteries had been sold. All of them were bought by electric motorcycle owners for modification. The power of the batteries immediately attracted the people of Liupan Province, and within a few days, all 10,000 cars had been pre-ordered.
As the Fenglin Car Plant's equipment had not been fully installed, and the technical workers were not all in place, Wang Hongtao was at a loss. The Fenglin Car Plant was working overtime, and so was the Motor Factory. The Western Qin Factory's production line was also adjusted to meet the Fenglin Car Plant's requirements. The Jinling Factory and Zhenghua Factory stopped their production and fully cooperated. Fenglin Car Plant's first large-scale supply was successfully completed. On the first day of the first lunar month, the retail batteries were in short supply. Helplessly, Yang Tianzheng ordered another 50,000 yuan.
The Nanjiang National League Supermarket also planned to cooperate with the Fenglin Automobile Factory to organize an event to launch 38,000 Fenglin Tianshans on the 38th Lunar Festival. This news almost made Chen Weizheng jump out of the car in shock. After careful research with Wang Hongtao, they concluded that although they could barely gather 38,000 cars in 38 sections, it would be difficult to reach the production target of 30,000 cars per month. Soon after, they received news that the National League Supermarket in Hongdu Province had decided to hold an event on May 1st, while the National League Supermarket in Minmin Province had decided to hold an event on July 1st. The National League Supermarket in Nanyue Province had decided to hold a Green Road event on July 1st, while the National League Supermarket in Nanyue Province had decided to hold an event on the 11th with the slogan of "One Hundred Thousand Days Under Lingnan", pushing this event to the peak.
She asked Yang Tianzheng in private how he thought of organizing such an event. Yang Tianzheng said that it was Chairman Ye's idea. Let's start frying first. Chen Weizheng told Ou Jie that no matter how hard they ran, they would never be able to catch up with the old man's whip!
Seeing the order for Liupan, Wang Hongtao and Zhang Xiaoxian were filled with emotions. Liupan was their hometown, a very poor place. When did they start to order cars there? An order for a car cost more than 10,000 yuan. There was a saying that one should be looked at with new eyes after three days. Now it seemed that they also needed to look at Liupan in a new light.
Wang Hongtao and Zhang Xiaoxian returned the house in Fengling, sent their children back to their grandparents' home in Yundu, and moved to Gu Yi City. They lived in a straight apartment in the dormitory building of the first branch. However, Zhang Xiaoxian was the only one living in that apartment so far. Wang Hongtao basically lived in the workshop. Originally, he planned to move the entire production line of the Western Qin Factory to Gu Yi City. Now that the order for Liupan had arrived, there was no time at all. He could only move the frames in the Western Qin Factory after they finished pressing the frames. He estimated that he could only move it after the Spring Festival! While perfecting the factory facilities, adjusting and installing the equipment, and organizing the production, Wang Hongtao felt that his head was as big as two.
Fortunately, the assembly process of electric cars was much simpler than that of gasoline-powered cars. Fortunately, Zhang Zhihuan, the head of the Western Qin Factory, was in Gu Yi City and could always ask for advice. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to complete the assembly process before the 15th of the Lunar New Year.
Hu Guoping was Wang Hongtao's first choice for a reason. He was naturally sensitive to electric cars. Western Qin's car was originally an experimental car, and there were many ideas that were not very perfect. In more than a month of trial production, Hu Guoping made a lot of changes to the Western Qin's car. Even the original developers of the Western Qin Factory could only find the shadow of the original Western Qin car in the exterior and interior. The assembly structure was completely different. During the production, Hu Guoping made adjustments to the entire car's mold so that it could be more suitable for the needs after the adjustments. He tried his best to achieve efficient assembly, rigorous assembly, and safe assembly. Wang Hongtao believed that if the model was remodeled according to the new ideas, it would increase the assembly efficiency, reduce the assembly time, and greatly increase the production efficiency.
Through Zhang Zhihe's intermediary work, Director Huang of the Tancheng Automobile Factory came to apologize.
Since New Year's Day, whether it was the Red River or the whole country, there were zero sales of gasoline-powered cars. Basically, everyone was observing the sales of electric cars. The Red River province had consumed 1,500 Wind in the Sky and 16000 Wind in the Sky before New Year's Day, and was basically in a short-term saturation.
There was a big difference between having no sales for two months and having more than 10,000 sales per month. When Director Huang arrived at the industrial park, he discovered that the conditions of the Fenglin Factory were very poor. The workshop had just been rebuilt, and the equipment had just been installed. In the corner of the workshop was the general manager's office. The man with a face full of dust and beard was Wang Hongtao.
Even so, it was not a big problem to have 700 cars coming off the assembly line every day.
When he saw the entire Western Qin Factory's XO Xiaojiu, Director Huang completely understood that he had lost the right to negotiate. Now, it was up to him to beg for help. If he could put down his pride and beg for help, he might have a way out. If he still wanted to retain some face, the result would be that there was no way out.
Wang Hongtao was scared to death in his office last time and did not dare to chat with him. He politely asked someone to bring him to Chen Weizheng's office. Seeing Wang Hongtao's indifference towards him, Director Huang's heart sank.
When he found Chen Weizheng, Chen Weizheng was fiddling with an off-road car in the yard. It was a Japanese Suzuki called Jimni.
When he saw Director Huang, Chen Weizheng patted the mud off his hands and invited Director Huang to take a seat upstairs.
"Did you buy this office building?" Director Huang asked.
"I wanted to buy it, but the landlord didn't sell it. I can only rent it. When the new office building is built, I will move there." Chen Weizheng said, "Compared to your place, my place is even worse."
"You just started here, and it's already very good to have this kind of product!" Director Huang said.
"Yes, I didn't want to produce the product so soon, but I was whipped by the old man at home. Even if I didn't want to run, I had to run. Now, I can only install, debug, and produce the product. Once it's on the right track, things will be easier," Chen Weizheng said.
"Whipped by the old man at home? What do you mean? "Director Huang asked.
"My uncle is the chairman of the National League Group. This year, he started selling electric scooters in the National League supermarkets. This year, he ordered hundreds of thousands of electric scooters. I'll be lucky if I can complete his task this year," Chen Weizheng said.
"Selling electric scooters in supermarkets? Not going to 4S stores? "Director Huang asked.
"Not going to 4S stores. In the future, Longshan battery will only go to supermarkets, not car markets. Buying a car is buying a car, and batteries are batteries. It's just like gasoline cars. The seller doesn't need to refuel," Chen Weizheng said.
"That's true!"
"This year, the National League supermarkets will enter the northern provinces. The economical electric scooters will also enter the northern provinces. Only then will Longshan battery enter the northern provinces," Chen Weizheng said.
"Boss Chen, you have a good relationship with Longshan battery!" Director Huang said.
"I'm the chairman of Fenglin and Longshan battery," Chen Weizheng said.
Director Huang knew he was in big trouble. If he didn't mend his relationship with Chen Weizheng, he wouldn't have a foothold in the electric scooter market.
"Boss Chen, last time in Tan City, I'm really sorry. It's all because we were narrow-minded and didn't understand your kindness. In the end, we suffered retribution," Director Huang said.
"Let's not talk about that. I was lucky enough to survive that steel bar. At that time, I went to find you mainly because I wanted to cooperate with you. At that time, I wanted to use your mature 18K, Longshan's batteries, motors, and Fenglin's technology to make the 18K into China's number one electric scooter. Unfortunately, things have changed with the passage of time. Fenglin's technology and motors are still around, and Longshan's batteries are still around. However, your 18K has become Western Qin's XO Xiao Jiu. I wasn't familiar with Western Qin's XO Xiaoyang Wine before, but now I find that this car is not bad. It's just that the body is a little wider, so the electricity consumption is a little higher, about 10% higher than the 18K. But with our recirculating charging technology, we can compensate for that in terms of recharging. On the whole, the driving distance after one charge is not much different. It's the wider body and the wheels that make the Xiaoyang Wine more comfortable, "Chen Weizheng said calmly, which made Factory Manager Huang shiver all over.
"Boss Chen, I feel that our 18K has a certain advantage, especially when traveling around the city. It has an irreplaceable advantage. We don't have the right to object to Fenglin's use of Western Qin's XO Xiao Jiu, but we still want to propose a cooperation. We've carefully analyzed your modified scooter, and we can also meet the technical requirements. We can even produce our own motors. I feel that we have a greater advantage," Director Huang said.
"Director Huang." Chen Weizheng said, "It's not that I don't want to cooperate with you, but I don't have the chance anymore. The Electric Vehicle Department only gave me a batch number for the FC12, and it's called Fenglin Tianshang. This batch number now belongs to the Western Qin's XO Xiao Jiu. If Tancheng Automobile Factory can apply to the Electric Vehicle Department for a batch number, as the CEO of Longshan battery, I will do my best to cooperate with you. "
Director Huang was satisfied that Chen Weizheng didn't close the door and lock the door. He knew that his XO Xiao Jiu was finished. If Chen Weizheng encouraged Jinling Automobile Factory to produce compact cars, then his factory's XO Xiao Jiu would also be finished. If he didn't seize this opportunity, then it would be gone forever. As for getting the approval now, it was even more unlikely. Jinling Automobile Factory and Fenglin Automobile Factory's electric scooters were on the rise. Which factory didn't have the approval for electric scooters? Fine, I'll use my connections to get the approval. It's better than watching it die.
