Chapter 227 One Thousand Yuan per Hour
Li Yang knew that Ye Bingcheng had come, and also knew that he and Le Wei were in the workshop.
After all, that guy Le Wei sends him messages every day.
But he didn't plan to go over now. He would just invite them to have dinner later.
So far, Jiying Automobile has not encountered any trouble. After all, relying on the strong domestic industrial system, any parts can be bought, the only difference is that some are good and some are inferior.
The so-called lack of technology is essentially lack of money.
It is 2016 now, not 2006. In the domestic market, almost everyone is pursuing cost-effectiveness.
For example, there is not much difference between Harman Kardon, Edifier and Bowers & Wilkins in terms of audio system, but the latter two are extremely cost-effective.
A set of Harman Kardon audio systems, when installed in a luxury car, costs at least tens of thousands of dollars.
There are two series of Jiying cars, the Ji series and the Ying series.
The Shadow series only exists in the planning stage and is currently the first car in the Extreme series, a mid-to-large coupe.
All configurations are almost all of the ceiling quality of domestic spare parts. Putting aside other costs, the cost of a car is close to 300,000.
If R&D costs, marketing costs and the like are taken into account, even if 100,000 vehicles are sold, the cost will be around 500,000.
In the modern industrial system, making cars is not difficult, but making money by making cars is the most difficult thing.
Li Yang’s only advantage is his new thinking, turning the car into an electronic product.
It is not very obvious now, because there is no technology that can be updated in the field of traditional fuel vehicles, and everyone is focusing on the engine.
Invest billions or even tens of billions of dollars in research and development to increase the thermal efficiency of the engine by 1%.
For example, Geely invests a lot of money in this area every year. It has increased the thermal efficiency from 40% to 46%. It took a total of six years and cost more than 30 billion yuan.
The current world record for the world's most efficient internal combustion engine was created in a laboratory and cannot be mass-produced.
The thermal efficiency of mass-produced internal combustion engines can reach up to 49%.
If it is placed on a fuel vehicle, the output energy loss is very large, less than 30% on average.
A simple hybrid technology can achieve a thermal efficiency of 45% with almost no output loss.
This is also the reason why electric cars are faster than fuel cars. They can easily accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than five seconds.
If a fuel car wants this kind of power output, it will have to start at a million.
Li Yang has two sports cars, both of which are 12-cylinder cars with super high horsepower. They can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in more than four seconds. The first coupe in the Extreme series can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds according to laboratory data.
The ultimate acceleration of the Tera S from 0 to 100 km/h is only 4.5 seconds.
It is not difficult to do this, just increase the output power of the motor.
Of course, the car's power layout must be strictly controlled, otherwise there will be no benefit from a faster speed.
To get it right, you need a lot of experiments, and each experiment costs money.
This year, Jiying Automobile recruited a lot of engineers during the graduation season, and tried to stockpile as much talent as possible, whether it is aerodynamics or intelligent algorithms.
With Ye Bingcheng's help in getting a loan, he was no longer short of money before the New Year. He was only in debt of tens or hundreds of billions.
While Ye Bingcheng was inspecting the workshop, Li Yang also came to the experimental site and personally drove the car produced by his own company.
It cannot be mass-produced, so strictly speaking it is a concept car.
Li Yang put himself in the shoes of a car owner and drove around to experience it.
I didn't dare drive too fast, I kept it at around 40 mph. If I drove too fast, no one would know what would happen.
Since he has paid the money, someone will naturally help him with the testing.
The driving experience must be quite good. In terms of power, he looked at the parameters and found them to be quite impressive.
The general manager of Jiying Automobile is Feng Xinli, who is nearly fifty years old and has a look of worldly wisdom between his brows.
Li Yang just came to try the car, but he insisted on following him, even replacing other people's seats and explaining various parameters and functions to Li Yang.
He is considered a veteran in the automotive industry, older than Li Yang's father, but he has no such awareness at all.
An annual salary of tens of millions was something he had never dared to imagine before.
Even in the entire domestic automotive industry, there are less than ten people whose annual salary exceeds his.
In the circle, some people privately laughed at him for being spineless.
After all, no matter how you look at it, Jiying Automobile seems to be just playing around. Without any preparation, it just built cars without any preparation, and everything started from scratch.
Any ambitious person in the automotive industry would not choose to work at Jiying Automobile.
Feng Xinli laughed. What a bullshit backbone. Is having money important?
As long as Jiying Automobile can last for two years, he can retire.
This past year was indeed tiring. Even though he brought a team with him, he had to do many things himself because he had no foundation.
Cars are the epitome of industry. Any car has more than 20,000 parts. Being able to assemble a car is an absolutely technical job, not to mention independently selecting them from the market, setting exclusive parameters, and preparing for mass production.
When he saw Li Yang getting out of the car, he ran over and said, "Mr. Li, are you satisfied with the car? If there is anything that needs to be improved, please point it out. After all, I am old and my learning ability is poor. I may misunderstand your advanced thinking."
Li Yang hurriedly said, "Mr. Feng, you are a veteran in the automotive industry. My suggestions are at most icing on the cake. They are useless."
"No, no, no, Mr. Li, you have shown me what a car is. To put it bluntly, after our car came out, I couldn't wait to drive it. Looking at the cars on the market, to put it bluntly, they are not much better than industrial garbage. All this is thanks to your advanced thinking, Mr. Li. I have a hunch that after our new car comes on the market, it will definitely bring about a subversion of the automotive industry!"
Li Yang: “…”
Even if the car manufacturing fails, these tens of millions will not be spent in vain!
The subversion that Feng Xinli talked about is definitely an exaggeration.
Mainly depends on the price.
The interior of this car far outclasses traditional fuel vehicles of luxury brands that cost more than RMB 600,000, and even many million-dollar luxury cars.
It's like buying a mansion worth tens of millions in Beijing and spending millions on luxurious decoration, and no one thinks it's a luxury.
But if you buy a house worth hundreds of thousands in a county town and decorate it luxuriously for millions, you will only call it luxury.
Therefore, in the market, the interiors of cars priced under one million are very average.
Even the 56e that costs five or six hundred thousand yuan has a visibly plastic feel to the naked eye, and the so-called atmosphere light is just a bunch of plastic light strips inlaid.
Li Yang spent a lot of time just on color matching, either buying or developing them himself, with the goal of creating a color combination that has a high-end feel.
Cars with either black or white bodies and either gray or black interiors almost no longer exist.
Although fancy features will affect car sales, middle-aged people don't like them.
But colorful combinations can more easily show personality and attract attention.
Li Yang has driven a SU7. Apart from anything else, the main color is absolutely stunning.
Look at those traditional automobile manufacturers in China. It seems that they have lost their imagination and are just hanging around in black, white and gray all day long.
We have launched some car models specifically to suit young people, but they are so shabby and ugly. Which young person would be willing to buy them?
So, if the first mid-to-large coupe in the Ji series is priced at 500,000, it is Xiao Li; if it is priced at 400,000, it is Li Yang; if it is priced at 300,000, it is Brother Yang; and if it is priced at 200,000, it is God Yang!
If the price is over 500,000? That's it: Bah! Xiao Deng!
The chassis is average, the motor and electronic control are first-rate, and the interior is luxurious.
Although it was all assembled with purchased parts, Feng Xinli's team is really talented. At least when Li Yang drove it, the overall comfort was excellent.
The MODEL3, which is now priced at nearly 500,000 yuan, is still an unfinished house.
Even in its raw form, it is better than most current fuel vehicles.
It is conceivable how poor the interior of a fuel vehicle is.
Some people say that when you buy a car, you don’t buy the interior?
Indeed, but it is also undeniable that the luxurious interior gives passengers a better experience and can also invisibly enhance the driver's driving experience.
There aren't that many people who really understand cars.
No one cares if your gearbox is running at 5,000 or 6,000 rpm.
It looks like a luxury car on the outside and the interior also looks like a luxury car, that's all.
The question of brand power depends on how you market it.
Li Yang asked someone to take some photos of him, especially when he was sitting in the car.
It eventually turned into a Weibo post.
"Let me report to you all on our work. Our car is working overtime to enter the mass production stage. I took a test drive today and the driving and riding experience was excellent!"
Here are some illustrations.
I don’t know if Jiang Banxia was slacking off at work, but she immediately forwarded this Weibo post.
Every time Li Yang posts on Weibo about car manufacturing, it will attract a lot of reposts and discussions.
Especially since he always spoke to everyone in a tone of work reporting, over time, a group of people became his die-hard fans.
This guy is a big shot with a net worth of billions, and his girlfriend is even more amazing. Her net worth is now approaching 20 billion.
Wanliu Capital now has a scale of 140 billion yuan, and can collect more than 2 billion yuan in management fees each year. If given a PE ratio of ten, its value will exceed 20 billion yuan.
Mr. Ma’s net worth comes from Alibaba, which has a PE ratio of 26 times.
If Jiang Banxia had a PE ratio of 26 times, his net worth would definitely be over 50 billion.
How can you not feel involved when these two big guys are reporting to you?
However, if there are people you like, there will naturally be people you dislike, and Li Yang cannot please everyone.
After seeing Jiang Banxia repost his Weibo, Li Yang sent a private message: "Slacking off at work, huh?"
"Rest now. Oh, Daoist Wu is in Jiangbei. Please treat him to a meal for me."
"???, why didn't that guy tell me?"
"He didn't tell me, but I saw his circle of friends, in the mall we went to."
After seeing this, Li Yang immediately checked Wu Tianqi’s circle of friends.
There is indeed a photo of it at the mall.
But...what can you tell from just this photo?
But he did want to treat Wu Tianqi to a meal. Since he helped so much last time, there would be no chance to look for him again.
I just don’t know what this guy is doing in Jiangbei. Is he still looking for Yang Shanshan?
He called Wu Tianqi directly.
"Are you in Jiangbei? If so, let's have dinner together tonight?"
He already has a lunch appointment, so it can only be scheduled in the evening.
Wu Tianqi said, "Can we have lunch at noon?"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm hungry, but I have no money to eat."
"Shit! Where are you?"
"Trade City."
"Wait, I'll be there soon!"
Li Yang hung up the phone and contacted the driver.
Although it was almost twelve o'clock, the words that bastard Wu Tianqi said made people feel uneasy.
Anyway, lunch is scheduled for 12:30, so just ask Wu Tianqi to come over and eat together.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Li Yang arrived at the commercial city and the place where he had agreed to meet Wu Tianqi. He recognized the abstract guy in the crowd at a glance.
He rolled down the car window and shouted, and Wu Tianqi came over happily.
Get in the car and go to the restaurant.
On the way, Li Yang saw Wu Tianqi, a guy who couldn't even afford to eat, but was surprisingly happy.
He said unhappily, "You have no money?"
Wu Tianqi nodded: "Yeah."
"Did you forget to bring it with you when you went out, or was it stolen?"
"Ah? It's spent."
"What the hell did you spend your money on? You have nothing. Where did you spend it? Did you buy a set meal at the foot massage parlor?"
Wu Tianqi said somewhat awkwardly: "Let Yang Shanshan chat with me for a while."
"Huh? Chatting costs money?"
"It's not expensive, only one thousand yuan an hour. We talked for four hours. It's a pity that I didn't bring enough money, otherwise..."
When Li Yang heard this, he really wanted to punch this bastard to death!
What the hell are you trying to do?
Didn't the Koala team assign him a beautiful assistant? With such a close proximity, what can't he handle?
The girl also knows that you are a relative of the boss of the Koala Team. If you put a little effort in, you can win her over. Is it difficult?
One thousand yuan an hour to chat with Yang Shanshan? It's this kind of guy who drives up the price!
Li Yang asked: "How did you find Yang Shanshan?"
"She... works here, selling cosmetics. If Daoyou Jiang and my aunt didn't use those things, I would definitely buy some for them."
"You want to give me a gift? You want to take care of my business! Damn it..."
This is all Bai Qing’s fault!
Forget it, blame yourself!
Think about how to deal with the aftermath.
In his previous life, this guy wanted a divorce just because he wanted one, and I didn't realize he was such a romantic man. I haven't influenced him in this life, so he shouldn't have gone so far astray, right?
What other advantages does Yang Shanshan have besides her longer legs and prettier looks?
Wu Tianqi didn't say anything. He really wanted to take care of Yang Shanshan's business.
After a while, the car arrived at the restaurant.
Li Yang didn't even go to the front desk to ask, He Lewei from the living room lounge area came running over.
"Dad Yang, I finally got you."
Gong Chenlin next to him also stood up silently and walked towards this side.
Li Yang glanced at He Lewei, then at Wu Tianqi, and said directly: "You two go together!"
These two guys are, to some extent, birds of a feather.
He Lewei begged him for so long in order to help Gong Chenlin become familiar to the leader.
But at least Gong Chenlin is together with Le Wei. Even if they are not together in the future, all the efforts made in the dating stage are worth it.
But Wu Tianqi is such a bastard, people don’t even talk about love with him, they only talk about money... It’s worse than when I was with Wang Manqi in my previous life.
Although Wang Manqi had been making excuses in her previous life, at least the first blood was hers, and she would be able to find one or two opportunities every few months.
Wu Tianqi and Le Wei were also acquaintances. After greeting each other, they walked towards the box with Li Yang.
Li Yang is very familiar with this restaurant, it belongs to Zheng Dasheng.
Inside the box, Zheng Dasheng was chatting with Ye Biaocheng. When they saw Li Yang coming, they immediately greeted him.
But Ye Bingcheng was a little surprised when he saw the people behind Li Yang.
Li Yang said, "Let me introduce you to the two brothers. This guy is a bit abstract. He is my high school classmate. The other two are my college classmates. One is my roommate and Le Wei, and the other is my senior sister Gong Chenlin. We just happened to get together today, so let them meet the boss."
Ye Bingcheng didn't say anything. He must be familiar with Gong Chenlin.
Zheng Dasheng said with a smile: "When you are with Mr. Li, who dares to say that he is a big shot? It is said that birds of a feather flock together. I think Mr. Li's classmates are all outstanding people. I should be happy to meet such outstanding young people."
Ye Bingcheng spoke at this time, "Mr. Zheng is right. People like us should clash with the ideas of young people more often, otherwise we may be eliminated by the times."
He didn't care about anything. Originally, they didn't plan to talk about anything important during the dinner.
There was nothing important to discuss between him and Li Yang, so they could just handle it on their own.
It’s not good to talk about it in private.
Gong Chenlin came over to greet him, and he responded with a smile.
At the dinner, they talked about Jiying Automobile. Li Yang even invited them to try it out when they had time, but they didn't talk about much else.
It’s only lively with this guy Le Wei, because he wants to improve so much!
Ye Bingcheng is not an ordinary person. Once he makes the right bet on Li Yang, he will soar to heaven.
The real sky.
After dinner, Li Yang took five thousand yuan in cash from the restaurant front desk and stuffed it into Wu Tianqi's hand.
"Take the flowers first. I have something to do this afternoon. I'll call you for dinner in the evening."
"Okay, I'll be leaving first then!"
Wu Tianqi left happily, and Li Yang then started to see others off.
He Lewei was the last to leave. After Ye Biaocheng left, he walked up to Li Yang and said, "Brother Yang, I was right about you. You are a person who cherishes old times!"
Li Yang said helplessly: "Just based on the way you acted like a licking dog at the dinner table today, I feel like your life is over."
"Fuck, I'm the weakest one here... No, Wu Tianqi is a little worse than me, but he doesn't have any demands. When I was weak, what's wrong with being a bit of a bootlicker? How can I improve if I'm not a good bootlicker?"
"Okay, okay, I really have something to do this afternoon. You should go to the workshop first. I'll call you for dinner in two days."
"Ah? I have to go back? I'm ready to run away!"
"Do you still want to make progress?"
“…”
…
Li Yang was busy until seven in the evening before he finally had some time.
He was mainly busy with some algorithms, especially determining the collision algorithm of the Jiying car, which is one of the most basic intelligent driving functions.
At this time, he thought of Wu Tianqi.
"Friend Wu, have you had your meal?"
"I haven't eaten yet. I'm starving. I don't have money to eat."
"Damn! Where's the five thousand dollars I gave you?"
"it took."
