Chapter 458 Orange Q1, 100,000 vehicles a day! Diversified scenarios, a new channel for the humane flame!
At the beginning of August, Aima and Yadea successively released their own long-range electric vehicles, targeting the high-end market. The prices were all set at more than 4,000 yuan, with a range of 100 kilometers.
There is no way. The supply cost of Deep Blue Battery is there, and there will be no profit if the price is too low.
Mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei, ZTE, Samsung, and LG have announced that they will soon launch ultra-thin flagship smartphones or long-battery-life smartphones.
Canon and Sony's camera products also subsequently announced battery accessories with longer battery life.
Driven by the X1 SE, lithium-sulfur batteries are becoming popular at an extremely fast pace.
Although other lithium batteries still occupy the mainstream, the high-end market has gradually been replaced by deep blue batteries.
At the same time, a sign reading "Orange Vehicle Co., Ltd." was clearly displayed at the entrance of an electric vehicle factory in Xicheng.
In the past six months, the main task of this factory has been to produce power-assisted bicycles for OFO bicycles and rider-specific electric bicycles for Yunsu and Kuapao.
But after the Deep Blue Battery came out, Chen Yansen transformed the original battery supporting factory into a Deep Blue Battery production line, specifically to meet the production needs of Orange Auto.
After all, the range of electric vehicles directly determines the delivery time and work efficiency of deliverymen and couriers.
In addition, based on the OFO electric bicycle, the appearance was upgraded and a small orange Q1 electric bicycle was designed, which is ready to be launched into the external market.
The battery weighs 0.6 kg, the whole vehicle weighs 29 kg, has a range of 48 kilometers, is priced at 999 yuan, and is mini and compact.
Chen Yansen does not want to compete with Yadea and Aima. His core goal is to expand production capacity, provide more jobs, and thereby gain more humanitarian support.
If Yadi and Emma go bankrupt because of this, he can only say sorry.
At this moment, front-line operators are busy in the huge production workshop.
The original company of Orange Vehicle was an electric vehicle OEM factory on the verge of bankruptcy. After being acquired by Senlian, the company adjusted its production lines and increased the number of employees from more than 100 to more than 1,000. Its monthly production capacity has exceeded 60,000 units.
The factory area is constantly expanding and spreading to the surrounding areas. The bankrupt factories nearby, including Orange Motors, have basically been included in the sphere of influence of Senlian Capital. It is expected that the production capacity will be increased to 100,000 units per month before the end of Q3.
By then, another 800 employees will be recruited.
In midsummer, although it is hot outside, it is cool inside the workshop.
It's just air conditioning. Under the instruction of Chen Yansen, the factory director has always provided open supply.
No matter how high the temperature outside is, the air conditioning in the house always maintains a pleasant intensity. As soon as the heat generated by the machine emerges, it is suppressed by the constant flow of cold air.
The workers wore thin jackets while working, without a drop of sweat on their foreheads, and did their work more efficiently.
In Mr. Chen's opinion, this electricity bill is nothing compared to the benefits brought by improved efficiency.
What's more, every employee is his dearest one, his humanitarian flame maker. What if it gets overheated?
"Oh, it's twelve o'clock."
An ordinary worker on the assembly line turned his head to look at the clock on the wall and grinned.
As soon as he finished speaking, a colleague from the same group came over to take over his shift.
After a while, a large group of people walked towards the cafeteria in the factory park.
"Brother Gui, hurry up! We have beef in sour soup and braised chicken wings today. If you go too late, they will be gone."
A fair-complexioned young man wearing a pair of cheap black-framed glasses urged the old master in the same group.
"What's the hurry? Do you think Boss Chen is the same old Wang Baopi? Isn't he always busy?"
Zhu Angui curled his lips and said disdainfully.
He is from Beihu and came to Xicheng to work five years ago. He has witnessed Zhixiang Electric Vehicle's rise from glory to decline. The number of employees dropped from more than 800 at its peak to only about 100 at one point.
After Senlian Capital acquired Zhixiang Electric Vehicle Factory, he originally wanted to take the money and leave, but when he heard that the basic salary had increased to 3,300 yuan and the overtime pay on holidays was as high as 75 yuan an hour, he decided not to leave on the spot.
Walk?
Only a fool would leave!
After he stayed, he found out that in addition to basic salary, social security, and overtime pay, there were also benefits such as quarterly bonuses four times a year, meal allowances, housing subsidies, transportation subsidies, and holiday allowances.
He remembered clearly that he had foolishly asked the new factory manager: "Big boss, you offer such high wages, aren't you afraid of losing money?"
The new factory manager said, "What boss would do a business that loses money? I can tell you clearly that the factory is profitable and the monthly salary is paid on the 1st."
Zhu Angui thought that June's salary would be paid on August 1, and he thought that since only one month's salary was withheld, there would probably be no tricks involved.
I later found out that June wages are paid on July 1st. If it falls on a weekend or holiday, wages will be paid on the last working day of the month.
After listening to the new factory manager's explanation, Zhu Angui was confused. He had been working for more than ten years, and this was the first time he encountered a factory that did not reduce wages.
Dry!
Fuck hard!
Work hard!
There are many workers who share the same idea as Zhu Angui. In this magical factory, no one has left in half a year.
Two months ago, a young man working in the structural parts workshop was injured while cutting pipes. He cried and shouted that he could still work for the company and asked the director not to give him sick leave.
First, he was reluctant to give up the overtime pay, and second, he was afraid that the factory would fire him.
What no one expected was that the director reported a work injury to him, and the factory gave him a recuperation allowance of 3,000 yuan. He was allowed to go back and rest for a month to recover, and the medical expenses were covered by supplementary medical insurance.
During the rest period, the salary is 40% off. Although it is only the basic salary, this benefit is one that millions of workers have never enjoyed in their entire lives.
In the past, in factories in the south, even if a worker suffered a work-related injury such as breaking a limb, he or she might not receive compensation.
If you meet a kind boss, he may give you 20,000 or 30,000 yuan; if you meet a black-hearted one, you will be lucky if you don’t get beaten.
"Brother Gui, you are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. How can you understand the hardships of us college students? The food in the school cafeteria tastes so bad that it's not even worthy of carrying shoes in our factory."
The young man with a fair complexion is called Huang Rui. He just graduated from junior college this year with a major in animation design. He spent three years in college fooling around.
He is not even proficient in PS, let alone Maya, Blender, and ZBrush. All the roadside printing shops in his hometown think his skills are too low.
His brother was a Yunsu courier. After seeing the company's intranet benefits, he immediately signed up Huang Rui and got him into Orange Car Industry.
Food and accommodation are included, and the monthly income is over 6,000 yuan.
The salary was not high in Xicheng, but since I stayed in the factory all day, I saved nearly 20,000 yuan in three months. It was better than lying at home and doing nothing.
"You've been to college, after all. I don't even know which way the high school gate faces."
Zhu Angui sighed.
Huang Rui envied him because he was a veteran and could earn eight or nine thousand yuan a month; he also envied Huang Rui for having been educated and knowing how to use a computer and a smartphone.
Unlike myself, I bought a Qingcheng D2 and still have to ask Huang Rui for advice on my next short film.
Both of them are loyal fans of Hata and Okita. They occasionally watch games together. Although there is an age difference, they often call each other "brother" and have a very close relationship.
"Going to school is useless. If I knew there was a factory like Orange Car, I would have come here right after I finished my college entrance exam."
Huang Rui chuckled.
"You are in the same class as the big boss. When you finished the college entrance examination, he hadn't started his own business yet. What a waste of your time." Zhu Angui rolled his eyes.
"Huh? It seems so." Huang Rui scratched his head.
The two chatted as they walked and soon entered the cafeteria. They picked up a clean plate at the entrance and looked for the team with the least number of people.
The canteen is operated by the factory itself, not outsourced, and the prices of dishes are not high, with vegetables costing two to three yuan per serving, semi-meat dishes costing four to five yuan per serving, large meat dishes costing six to eight yuan per serving, and a bowl of rice costing forty cents.
Five hundred yuan a month for food allowance is more than enough.
Many employees looked radiant and energetic after eating.
"Director Cheng!"
"Hello, Director!"
"Director, are you coming to eat in person?"
When the workers saw Cheng Zilong, they laughed and joked.
"I'm taking a shit myself?" Cheng Zilong cursed angrily while holding the food plate.
He was previously the deputy factory director of the Shenzhen branch of Tailing Electric Vehicles. He had been working in the manufacturing industry for more than ten years and had good abilities, but lacked some support from a noble person.
Seeing that there was no hope of promotion at Tailing, he accidentally heard that Senlian Capital had bought an electric vehicle factory, which was not large, with only 100 employees.
But he submitted his resume without hesitation, went through four rounds of interviews, was selected by Chen Yansen, and eventually became the CEO and factory director of Orange Car Industry.
To use his words to comfort his wife: Orange Auto is a little small, but after all, it is a subsidiary of Senlian Capital, and the treatment and benefits are similar. After many twists and turns, your husband has finally entered a big company.
As it turned out, his choice was not wrong.
The work at Orange Bicycle Industry was easier than he had imagined. In the first six months, he had been producing electric bicycles for Kuaipao, OFO Bicycle and Yunsu Express, and he didn't even have any sales pressure.
The Orange Q1, which is about to be launched, is equipped with the world's latest deep blue battery. In addition, the company has no shortage of sales channels, so there is no need to worry about sales issues.
The workers who were rebuked by Cheng Zilong were not afraid or angry. Instead, they laughed, wiped their mouths, and gave their seats to him.
The employees around were not surprised. Director Cheng never put on airs with his employees during non-working hours.
…
…
Three days later, on August 5th.
The pre-sale link of Orange Q1 is posted in the flagship stores of Orange Mall, Pinbei 10 Billion Subsidy, and Yaomao, Yidong and other platforms.
It is small and light, with a battery weight of only 600 grams and a range of 48 kilometers.
The most important thing is that the price is only 999 yuan!
"The Orange family has a new member. Chen Yansen has changed his career to sell electric bicycles?"
"To be honest, this price is really good!"
"It's too small. It can only seat two people at most."
"Two people are not enough? Could the guy upstairs be from Tianzhu?"
"Mom doesn't have to worry about my batteries being stolen anymore. They're only a pound and two ounces. It's safer to take them home."
"Safe? Stop messing around, okay? A month ago, someone in our neighborhood carried a battery home. A family of three walked away in one piece."
There are a lot of discussions online, but there are even more people placing orders.
Because Orange Q1 has a built-in GPS positioning device, the vehicle location can be found through the APP, which is equivalent to an extra layer of insurance.
In addition, the APP will also count the route, distance, speed and other information of each trip.
Chen Yansen didn’t think about how much hardware profit he could make from Orange Q1; big data was his real goal.
With the help of external forces, the route planning of Kuaipao, Yunsu and Amap will be more accurate and build stronger technical barriers.
Even local central departments will pay to purchase relevant data when planning viaducts, highways and national roads.
Not making money on the surface, but making a lot of money behind the scenes.
On the day of release, Orange Q1 sold 94,000 units, and the number announced to the public was 100,000 units.
This sales volume really shocked Yadi and Emma.
Senlian Capital is doing great success in every business it does, and its competitors in the air-conditioning industry are also trembling with fear. After all, a month ago, Chen Yansen acquired Xinke’s air-conditioning and TV businesses in Changzhou.
Who can guarantee that Orange air conditioners will not have a negative impact on their sales?
Dong Mingzhu was also worried, but she did not dare to provoke Chen Yansen again this time, because as soon as she posted on Weibo, the comment section asked her to extend the warranty period of Gree air conditioner.
Changing it from 6 years to 10 years may seem like just a trivial statement.
But it is not that easy when billions of dollars are spent every year.
She doesn't understand.
Where does Chen Yansen get the courage to promise a ten-year warranty!
