NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1
“The peak gave birth to false supporters, and the dusk witnessed the devout believers……”
“After all, it was a car brand that the leader once sat in. How could it decline like this in this world? ?”
Traditional office.
Messy desks, footprints and dust on the floor, and withered plants on the windowsill.
All of these show that the environment here is very messy.
No one has taken care of it for some time.
A young man who looked to be about 24 or 25 slumped in the boss chair with a sad expression.
Lu Yan was helpless at the moment.
Just now, he found that he had traveled through time.
Compared with the memory in his mind, this is a parallel world very similar to the earth, but there are some differences in the development of details.
Through his memory, he found that his original body had taken over the car company he is currently in more than half a year ago.
Well.
It is the famous——””Hongqi Automobile”!!
This made Lu Yan, who had just traveled through time, almost burst into joy!!
My goodness… this is a Hongqi Automobile!!
“The Light of China”、”National car brand”���These titles are just labels for the Hongqi brand.
Even if it is only a second-tier luxury brand in the car manufacturing industry in terms of sales and level, it is enough for him to live a lifetime with the support of the state.
But I didn’t expect it.
After digesting all the memories, the information he got made Lu Yan stunned!!
Because in this world, Hongqi, whether in sales or industry status, is at the bottom! It is completely different from what he imagined.
When he took over, it was already on the verge of bankruptcy.
This has to start from the history of the establishment of the Hongqi brand and the selection of leaders as cars.
The original Hongqi on Earth has been glorious since the establishment of the brand.
From being selected as a state passenger car, to the state supporting the construction of the factory, and then handed over to FAW for operation.
Hongqi has successively launched domestic exclusive luxury models, and there are special R&D departments for designing”state cars” and”partial military vehicle designs”.
It can be said that the subsidies allocated by the state every year and the unknown billions of R&D funds, various policy resources, are not only enough for Hongqi to survive easily, but also to occupy various first-mover advantages.
Even with the”lazy and unpromising” operation of FAW Group, it can still maintain its position as a second-tier luxury car.
In this world.
The development of history has a little deviation.
After designing the first batch of passenger cars for leaders, the Hongqi brand, after being supported and built, finally completely separated the two departments of”civilian car manufacturing” and”state car manufacturing”.
The department responsible for the design of state and military vehicles directly took away a large number of confidential technologies and elite R&D backbones, working specifically for the country, and no longer belonged to Hongqi.
Lu Yan’s great-grandfather was one of the core personnel who participated in the design and development of the first”Hongqi” brand (CA72). This car appeared in the military parade of the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, which directly shocked the world.
However.
Lu Yan’s great-grandfather did not enter the State Council, but chose to inherit the Hongqi brand out of personal feelings.
The result is imaginable.
Without the strong support of the state and the additional large-scale subsidy policy, the subsequent development was not smooth.
And under the situation of being choked by foreign car companies and blocked patent sanctions.
Domestic cars can’t raise their heads at all.
The Hongqi brand has its own halo. Under the operation of Lu Yan’s parents, it had sold well in the early years.
But in the end, because it did not have core technologies such as advanced engines and gearboxes, and did not accept foreign capital injections, it eventually became worse and worse every year and gradually declined.
Now that Lu Yan took over, it is not an exaggeration to say that the factory is about to go bankrupt.
At this moment.
Lu Yan had a wry smile on his face.
He would rather inherit an ordinary small car factory.
Because the”car manufacturing qualifications” approved by the state held by automobile companies are very valuable.
In the early years, the state did not approve”car production certificates” internally.
And the Hongqi brand.
Although it was taken over by Lu Yan’s grandfather’s generation, due to the particularity of the brand’s history…
Lu Yan’s”car manufacturing qualifications” cannot be bought and sold.
Even if you go bankrupt, it must be directly recovered by the state.
It is impossible to hand it over to other people to mess around.
“This is so difficult.……”
Lin Tian felt like crying but had no tears.
It was under such conditions that the original body bet all the funds and production lines on it, spent half a year to develop an entry-level new energy vehicle, and pinned all the chips on the new model.
It is said to be entry-level, but it is actually very generous.
The five-meter-long body is equipped with a large lithium iron phosphate battery of 60 degrees to 80 degrees. The range can reach more than 500 CLTc mileage, and the starting price is only 11w, which is definitely a conscience price.
In this era of”oil cars” and”electric cars”, many domestic car companies choose to overtake on the curve. After all, the top internal combustion engine technology and gearbox technology are controlled by foreign countries, and the original body also planned to do so.
As a result, the intensity of the internal competition in the new energy track is far beyond imagination.
The pre-sale and official sales of the new model, however, were a thunderbolt.
The original body was exhausted and collapsed directly.
Lu Yan had to face this”mess” as soon as he crossed over.”……
“Boss, the sales report for last month is out. The monthly booking volume of our new energy vehicle model ‘Hongqi EQM5’ is only 8,000, and the monthly delivery volume is only more than 2,500 units.……”
The door of the office rang.
The one who pushed the door open was Wang Youwei, the director of the marketing department, who was one of the few old people who had not left.
He was obviously embarrassed.
But when he saw the boss Lu Yan, he forced a smile on his face. When
Lu Yan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
According to the original body’s memory.
The factory has invested most of its energy in this new energy vehicle.
In order to quickly recover funds.
It also pre-produced 2,000 vehicles in advance and stopped the production of other oil-powered vehicle models with sluggish sales.
Set a low entry price of”110,000″.
According to estimates, this price is very competitive in the market, and the monthly sales volume is expected to be more than 10,000. At least 5,000 to 6,000 units will be delivered in the first month.
Only then can the factory barely catch its breath.
“What’s going on? Why are new car sales so poor?……”
Lu Yan frowned and said
“Boss, we had a lot of orders during the first few days of the launch, but a few days later, a large number of trolls suddenly attacked us online, saying that our new car was too cheap and looked like a taxi.……”
“Also, during the offline test drive, a traffic accident occurred due to a sales operation error. It was just smoke coming out of the front of the car, but someone took a picture and posted it online, saying that the materials used in our car were unsafe and caught fire during the test drive. We found the media and sued them. The news has been deleted, but now it has spread on various forums and it is difficult to clarify.”
Wang Youwei said with difficulty.
Lu Yan was even more confused after hearing this.
These days.
It is too difficult for domestic car manufacturers to rise. If you sell too cheaply, you will be accused of being”cheap” and running like a taxi on the street.
As for”new energy fires”, it makes consumers shudder.
But in terms of safety, Lu Yan is in charge of it himself.
He can guarantee that his own cars will not cut corners in terms of safety.
Because this kind of high-volume model sells a lot.
In order to save a little cost, you have to cut corners on safety. If the car is cut down on materials, then when something happens to the consumer, or the car catches fire, the Hongqi manufacturer will have to handle the matter after sales.
Lu Yan can’t do such a stupid thing.
Now this series of public opinion and suppression has made him smell a hint of conspiracy. If the dirty water is thrown on him, even if it is not true, it will be difficult to close the case in a short time if he sues, let alone make it clear.
The purpose is to tarnish the reputation and sales of Hongqi.
If the factory continues to drag on like this and the funds cannot be recovered, it will be over!!
Just when Lu Yan was at a loss,
“It has been detected that the host has adapted to the current plane, and the super military system has begun binding!!”
“Beep——It is detected that the host has inherited the car manufacturing factory, and the system starts adaptively, changing into——a super industrial system!!”
