Last year, Xiwan's production was 380,000 vehicles, which was the figure after the production cut. Although the sales plan was basically achieved, the profit declined to a certain extent compared with previous years.
This stems from a motorcycle melee that began last year and has not yet ended.
If electric start motorcycles had not reduced the production of old motorcycles, Xiwan’s financial statements last year would have been very ugly.
Lin Lairong also bought the remaining AX100 line and moved it to Agenting. Xiwan now only has two Feiyue 90 lines with an annual output of 260,000 units and one scooter line with an annual output of 100,000 units.
Zhang Shiqian very much hopes that new cars will appear to make up for the target production capacity of 500,000.
How can a motorcycle factory that has been in existence for many years have the nerve to survive if it doesn’t produce 500,000 vehicles a year!
"Lin Lairong also bought that AX100?" Wan Feng was very surprised.
So this woman is doing well in Guba’s factory!
"The US enacted some kind of law this year imposing severe sanctions on Guba, making it very difficult to ship cars produced there. So, they wanted to invest and set up a factory in Argentina, and so they bought out another production line."
It seems that in February this year, Guba shot down two planes of the American Guba exile organization. Last month, the United States passed the Burton Act, increasing sanctions on Guba.
This makes it even more difficult for Guba’s products to be exported, and they can only produce and sell them themselves.
Even smuggling has become extremely difficult.
Wan Feng is actually very pessimistic about Lin Lairong's investment in Argentina.
She didn't say anything when she went to Guba to invest in Wanfeng, but he was opposed to her going to Agenting.
The workers in Guba at least have some quality, but Wan Feng is quite pessimistic about the rest of the American countries.
These countries do not have the destiny of developed countries, but their people suffer from the diseases of developed countries.
Just like Argentina was able to improve from the level of a developed country to that of a developing country, that is also a kind of ability.
Zhang Shiqian stayed in Jiangwei for three days and returned happily with the Feiyue 100 production line. He was accompanied by the installation personnel from Nanwan.
Just as Zhang Shiqian left, Cheng Gong, who had successfully completed the film production in Shanghai, came back happily.
The first thing he said when he came back was not about his own chips, but rather he praised ASML's lithography machine.
Isn't this nonsense? How much money has he invested in this lithography machine? The cumulative investment now exceeds 1.5 billion yuan.
In the previous life, ASML's development of this lithography machine required the joint efforts of companies from several countries.
In this life, it has only itself to support it.
Only a few of these devices can be produced in a year, so Wan Feng plans to keep them for his own use. As for selling them to others, he has no intention of doing so yet. He has not even considered having domestic manufacturers buy them.
It’s not that domestic manufacturers don’t want to sell, but they can’t afford it.
If a foreign manufacturer wants to buy it, the minimum bid is 120 million, and it has to be in US dollars.
How many domestic manufacturers would spend hundreds of millions of yuan to buy this?
ASML will only prepare to export this generation of lithography machines when it develops the next generation of immersion lithography machines.
But that was six or seven years later.
In addition to tape-out in Shanghai, Cheng Gong also took time out of his busy schedule to help Mi Guangnan develop graphics cards for a while.
Although the graphics card produced was far from Wan Feng's requirements, it was a big improvement over the graphics card previously researched by Mi Guangnan and could meet the needs of all games on the market.
"Mi Guangnan has already started researching new computer combinations. He said the Ideal 3100 computer, powered by the Huaguang-2, will be released in September."
After saying that, Cheng Gong hurried back to his studio. His next task was to continuously improve and perfect Huaguang No. 2, striving to increase the transistor integration number of this chip to 5.15 million and the clock frequency to a maximum of 175MHZ by the end of the year.
This is the upper limit of how much this chip can be improved. Once this limit is reached, he will start designing the next generation of chips.
Mi Guangnan was well aware of the importance of chips. The chip manufacturing level of the old Component Factory No. 5 was already a bit inadequate as chips entered the micron era.
Therefore, since he took over as the general manager of Huaguang Electronics, he has arranged almost all R&D projects related to chip manufacturing in Huaguang Electronics. In the past two years, all the talented students recruited by Huaguang Electronics from various universities in Shanghai have been assigned to these projects by him.
From manufacturing crystal rods and round wafers to coating, developing and etching, doping needle testing and cutting and packaging, every procedure is taken into consideration in order to prepare for the future chips entering the nano era.
This is a very expensive project. Last year, Huaguang Electronics' revenue from all sources was nearly 800 million yuan, but he didn't hand over a single cent of it to the group. He invested it all, and yet he still asked Wan Feng for money.
Only then did Wan Feng understand why he had different ideas from Liu Zhi when he was idealistic.
His way of spending money is inconsistent with the ideas of most CEOs. Huaguang Electronics' profit level in the past two years is still good, at least 1.2 billion or 1.3 billion, but just looking at the numbers, you can't see a penny.
Especially last year, Huaguang Electronics created the largest profit since its establishment, but he also saw the numbers on the financial statements.
But Wan Feng is not someone else after all. As someone who has been through this, he believes that it is impossible to make money without spending money.
With a stroke of the pen, the 200 million yuan in profits from Warwick last year flowed into Huaguang Electronics.
If that is not enough, Wanfeng is also planning to transfer the 500 million yuan profit from Xiwan last year. Of course, he didn't touch the money unless Mi Guangnan asked.
Unlike the electronics department's earth-shattering way of spending money, Yang Li's department has a very low presence in Nanwan Group.
The amount of funding they apply for each year is not much, from 1.8 million at the beginning to tens of millions now. Among all the R&D departments in Nanwan Group, the funding utilization is in the lower average level.
However, their department has become the unit with the highest return on investment for Wanfeng. The small lithium battery they invented by accident has solved the problem of upgrading mobile phone batteries.
Now, on May 7, 1996, Yang Li could finally tell Wan Feng with confidence that the lithium battery that could be used in vehicles had been successfully developed.
It has been ten years since Yang Li's department was established. The reason why there has been no progress in the past ten years is the safety issue of lithium batteries, especially large-volume lithium batteries.
After solving the safety issues of lithium batteries used in mobile phones, they finally found the way, but it still took them nearly four years to completely solve the problem.
Yang Li's department got a one-month vacation, and everyone in the department went on vacation happily.
But a question is placed before Wan Feng: what is the use of this successfully researched battery now?
It’s obviously ridiculous to make electric cars now. Fuel-powered cars are still running well. Who are you going to sell electric cars to?
If we don’t make electric cars, what else can this battery be used for?
Ask Lao Zhu if they need anything?
