Chapter 225 Cars and Airplanes
We've just talked about the first option.
Then Zhao Ye said, "The second option is to invest in the automotive industry!"
Imagine, once the decision to invest in highways is made, wouldn't it be obvious that they would immediately invest in the automotive industry?
Three or four years later, automobile production will begin, highways will be almost completed, and the domestic economy will have reached a high level. At that time, the automobile industry will be booming. If Wujiang Group can invest and plan ahead, it will undoubtedly be able to get a share of the pie.
Zhao Ye paused for a moment, then continued, "Tiangong Technology Company ventured into the research of automobile chassis, transmissions, and engines a year or two ago, and has accumulated a certain level of technology. This time, Wujiang is making a major foray into the automotive industry, partly because we are optimistic about the future prospects of the automotive market, and partly because we want to develop the manufacturing industry and provide more jobs."
"My small goal is for our independently developed domestic cars to become popular in China and become the No.1 domestic car brand."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They even took it for granted that a powerful company like Wujiang Group should enter the automotive manufacturing industry and then crush European, American, Japanese and Korean car companies.
"Boss, I suggest that before we officially enter the automotive industry, we should first enter the motorcycle market to accumulate technology and experience. Of course, another major reason is that my country's motorcycle market is very large..." Zhou Huicheng, CEO of Tiangong Technology Company, suggested at this time.
When Tiangong Technology was developing automotive chassis, transmissions, and engines, Zhou Huicheng discovered that the company's technology was more than one or two generations behind that of Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, and it would be very difficult to catch up in a short period of time.
The Chu Pengke Xiaojinbei model has been completely modified into a dedicated cargo truck for Lalamove.
Galaxy Technologies is a company that wants to conquer space. It can certainly build huge aircraft, so how can it conquer space?
“Give him ten years!!” Ivy said in a deep voice.
If Tiangong Technology were to make motorcycles, it would have started earlier than Geely, and would have had more abundant funds and more advanced technology.
Iveco, through Galaxy Technology, is able to achieve "a resounding success when it first appears!"
After some thought, Iveco realized that if Chinese automakers wanted to completely surpass European, American, and Japanese automakers, they would likely need to achieve a "leapfrog development" in the electric vehicle sector.
It would be extremely difficult for Tiangong Technology to catch up.
"President Zhou's suggestion is terrible, and you agree with it! Car development can be accomplished overnight, and in the meantime, we can just wait and wait. But we can't develop motorcycles and seize the market."
When people saw that the car had become the exclusive vehicle for the funeral industry, very few people would naturally avoid it.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye nodded repeatedly, but a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Ivy decided that once the meeting was over, she would draw Chu Pengke's little golden cup outside her home and then have Tiangong Technology Company try to manufacture it.
Of course, in the current situation, it is not possible to develop a car that sells well nationwide simply because the technology is backward.
Even if it's absorbed internally, Ivey believes it can solve the problem for up to 100,000 vehicles.
However, with the technology accumulated by Tiangong Technology, it is completely impossible to design and manufacture a very wrong motorcycle.
"Chu Pengke's Little Golden Cup, used to transport the dead and their ashes."
Moreover, that vehicle was perfect for transporting goods, which gave Ivy a new idea.
Few European and American car companies will return to car manufacturing in the next century.
Developing passenger planes is so difficult, but I still decided to accept the task.
After a moment's thought, Ivy wholeheartedly praised Zhou Huicheng's suggestion.
However, the damage was long-lasting. Competitors resorted to underhanded tactics. Learning that a crematorium in Guangzhou was bidding for eight hearses, a competitor directly purchased eight Jinbei vans from Nanjing Xiaqiangke Company at a low price and then resold them to the funeral home at a higher price. This severely damaged the brand. Previously, Chupengke Jinbei vans had become synonymous with hearses, becoming the standard for funeral vehicles.
After discussing the car, Ivey immediately moved on to the eighth option.
I looked at Zhao Ye, CEO of Galaxy Technology, and said, "Galaxy Technology not only builds rockets and communication satellites, but also airplanes. That's a long-term mission, and they're required to complete it in a short time. Your country's passenger aircraft market has always been dominated by the government. Can that situation continue indefinitely? Boeing makes money off the Chinese while using that money to help the US develop weapons! If Boeing tampers with passenger aircraft, how can you guarantee the air travel of your people?"
Given the lack of quality assurance in automobiles, the price of the cars must be cheap, and they must be versatile, capable of carrying both goods and people. If such a product could become a nationwide sensation...
"The boss said that in seven years at most, or four years at least, Galaxy Technology Company will definitely be able to develop a world-shaking aircraft!" Zhao Ye promised behind Ivy.
If Tiangong Technology wants its cars to roll off the production line as soon as possible and be well-received by the market, it must develop cars that are grounded in reality and suited to the current national conditions.
Once that vehicle was released, it became a hit across the country. It could carry both goods and people, and the price was very cheap. It was in high demand and almost became the standard equipment for enterprises, companies and government agencies. Other brands of vans, heavy passenger vehicles or MPVs had their market share slightly taken away.
With the domestic business market becoming increasingly active, "same-city logistics" is bound to become a necessity.
Xia Qiangke's "Little Golden Cup" subsequently became a popular internet phrase.
To be able to make a product a nationwide bestseller on one's first foray into the automotive industry—that is success.
Ivey has also come to terms with reality and will not simply demand that Tiangong Technology surpass European and American automakers in terms of technology.
Zhao Ye replied, "Give Galaxy Technology some time, and I'm sure I can come up with a product that will amaze the world!"
Upon hearing this, Ivy was slightly taken aback. I then suddenly remembered that Geely had made its fortune by developing motorcycles before withdrawing from the automobile industry.
Being grounded means being connected to the earth.
Galaxy Technologies has always been committed to the research and development of aerospace engines, and has also absorbed a small number of Soviet aerospace technology talents, so it still lacks confidence in developing small passenger aircraft.
In China, brands that can sell 100,000 cars a year are extremely rare.
This involves renaming the logistics company under the Youjiang Group as Lalamove, which only provides cross-regional logistics and also strengthens local logistics services.
Ivy immediately searched his memory and then the image of the "Chupengke Xiaojinbei" car appeared.
Tiangong Technology Company did develop that car, but don't think it's shabby. If the public relations are bad and the car doesn't sell well, then it's over.
However, cars are expensive, which means few business people can afford them. Therefore, Lalamove must provide local logistics services, otherwise it won't have a market.
It takes a long time and some investment to see results, but Ivey can afford to wait.
