Chapter 352 Opportunity
Chapter 352 Opportunity
The entanglement between the Internet and public opinion is too time-consuming, but offline collisions can easily reveal the truth.
The fact that Yu Xing led his men to smash the Xiangtian Group once again proved this point.
He had two insights into this: one was that physical entanglement was very effective, and the other was to be careful of others physically entangled you.
And, Pony is indeed a gentleman.
If I had met him, I would at least have been beaten up by the "enthusiastic crowd".
Liu Wanying’s sharing of his sentiments reminded me of a famous saying: “Meanness is the passport of meanness?”
"It's not that serious." Yu Xing didn't expect Xiaoying to say this, and said carefully, "I found Penguin because many people cheered me on. This raid on Xiangtian Group was also to destroy a pyramid scheme den. It can't be considered despicable at all."
Liu Wanying concluded with a smile: "Then change it. This is called a noble heart and despicable means."
Yu Xing thought the original sentence was quite good: "He has a heart of a bodhisattva, but he has the power of thunder. He is not that bodhisattva, but he is not that thunder either."
Liu Wanying nodded and said thoughtfully: "I think that given the current state of the new energy industry, there will definitely be scams. Pyramid schemes are still considered low-level, and those who engage in half-truth capital operations are more high-end."
It was hard for Yu Xing to disagree. It was proven that pyramid schemes were very weak scams.
As for the higher end...
Not to mention a group of car companies that may be really weak, such as WM Motor, HiPhi, Byton, etc., companies like Evergrande, LeTV, and Saleen are worth mentioning.
Oh yes, there is another one, Youngman Automobile, which also claims to run just by adding water.
Yu Xing thought about it and thought of the "water hydrogen car" which has a similar concept to that of the Xiangtian Group. The Youngman Automobile, which led this scam, was established as early as 2001. It even became famous for providing cars for the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and is still operating well.
He suddenly began to wonder how Youngman Automobile went astray?
Yu Xing's current focus is on his own projects and the electric vehicle supply chain. He is indeed not clear about the specific situation of car companies like Youngman Automobile. However, when he found time to ask Hu Zhengnan tactfully during dinner, he immediately got the answer.
"Youngman Automobile? It has developed well in the past few years. It obtained the service rights of high-end reception vehicles for the 08 Beijing Olympics, the 09-10 Jinan National Games, the Shanghai World Expo and the Guangzhou Asian Games. Its marketing and momentum are good." Hu Zhengnan gave his evaluation first, and then said, "But it has been using the Lotus brand. Its core technologies such as chassis tuning and power matching are all supported by the 'Lotus Project', and key components such as engines are all purchased from outside."
He shrugged: "When Lotus entered the domestic market, it found that Youngman was trying to take advantage of it, so it was furious and stopped supplying technology from the Lotus Project. It just stopped this year, so Youngman will face very severe challenges in the future."
Yu Xing was puzzled: "Doesn't Youngman Automobile have technical support from Lotus? Why did Lotus just find out that it was piggybacking?"
Hu Zhengnan explained: "'Lotus Engineering' and Lotus Sports Cars are not together, they are just under the same group. 'Lotus Engineering' provides technical services for many brands. These are two different businesses, but Youngman Automobile's deliberate blurring of the brand must have angered people."
Youngman Automobile has a series named "Lotus", including Lotus L3, Lotus L5, and Lotus T5. The real Lotus sports car entered the Chinese market in 2011. Because the trademark was occupied, it could only use the transliteration name "Lotus".
Yu Xing sorted out the relationship and completely understood why Youngman Automobile became a scam. Without the support of core technology, sales, capital chain and a series of other issues would face a chain reaction, and the time was very short. Therefore, Youngman Automobile, which was already on the rise, finally appeared with a story of "creating the world's first water hydrogen fuel cell car".
Hu Zhengnan looked at his boss with a sharp gaze and said meaningfully, "So, mastering core technology is extremely important. Youngman Automobile's engines are purchased from Dong'an Power."
Yu Xing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "What is unimportant? Funds are important, core technology is important, market channels are important, brand image is important, talent training is important. Mr. Hu, tell me, what is unimportant?"
Hu Zhengnan's lobbying retreated at the first sign of failure: "Boss Yu, they are all important. I can only be responsible for my important part. You are the boss, so you are responsible for all the important parts. This is your position. Eat, eat."
Yu Xing knew that Hu Zhengnan still wanted to fully promote the development of their own engines, but this involved too many issues. Not to mention that a larger team was needed, even manufacturing or OEM was a problem. Carbon Silicon Group was now unable to build an engine production line on its own.
He thought for a moment and revealed the latest situation: "Mr. Hu, the national plan has come out. I reflected the problems we are currently facing to see if we can help. Cui Zhiyu is already sorting out the information and hopes to get a support project from the National Science and Technology Support Program for 'range extenders'."
The National Science and Technology Support Plan was launched in 07 to implement the "National Medium- and Long-Term Science and Technology Development Plan (2006-2020)". This year, with the eight-year development plan for the new energy industry, a number of projects in the industry will receive support.
Currently, in China, only Carbon Silicon Group is the most determined and invested in the extended-range route, and it has previously been recognized by leadership inspections, so this is an opportunity to solve the "range extender" problem.
If the project is selected, it will not only receive funding support, but it will also have more significance for the engine manufacturer, as it means that the joint venture and cooperation between the two parties will inevitably come to fruition.
Because such projects are rooted in the "range extender" of new energy, not the engine.
Only after the engine has been optimized for the range-extended scenario can it be called a "range extender" and be selected for the project. Currently in China, only Silicon Carbon Group is mainly doing this and it also needs it.
If it weren’t for the “range extender”, both Dong’an Power and Shenhang Mitsubishi would still only have ordinary engines for fuel vehicles.
This natural opportunity to obtain policy support must be seized.
Even Hu Zhengnan, who strongly advocated a new development, had to admit after listening to his boss's words that this was indeed a good opportunity to break the deadlock.
"Are the leaders willing to support us?" Hu Zhengnan asked about the current situation.
"We made two phone calls, and I felt that the attitude tended to be positive," Yu Xing said with a smile, "Just wait a little bit, I think there is great hope."
Hu Zhengnan nodded silently, thinking about the new changes.
However, Yu Xing wanted to wait, but Shen Hang Mitsubishi didn't want to wait any longer and asked to talk directly to the boss of Carbon Silicon Group.
Cui Zhiyu, who came from Great Wall to take over the negotiation work, brought an excuse that Yu Xing could not refuse - "He went there in person to fight against pyramid schemes, why doesn't he talk to us directly?"
Yu Xing only had two words to say... Makes sense!
