Chapter 370 Tasting Rice Canteen - Spanish Beef Stew

Under the guidance of Lei Jun, Qin Han took a quick tour of the Rice Group headquarters.

After this tour, the overall feeling is quite good.

how to say?

It’s very grand and free, but the working atmosphere is very intense!

In addition, it is very high-end and classy. Niu Niu Capital’s decoration is actually quite good, but compared with Dami Group, it is far behind in all aspects.

Just take the per capita office space for example, the two are not on the same level.

After visiting the Rice Group, Qin Han became more determined to build a headquarters.

But these are all later stories. The most important thing at the moment is to reach a cooperation intention with Lei Jun, which is the main purpose of coming here today.

The negotiation took place not in the conference room but in Lei Jun's office.

His office is spacious and elegantly decorated.

"Please take a seat, Mr. Qin."

"Thank you."

At the invitation of Lei Jun, Qin Han sat down on the sofa in the reception area. He only allowed Shen Lan and Su Wanru to stay, and sent the rest away.

The same thing happened to Lei Jun, who only left his secretary.

Qin Han took a sip of tea and got straight to the point: "Boss Lei, to be honest, I'm here today to discuss cooperation."

"I'd like to hear more about it." Lei Jun said with a smile.

Qin Han said: "I hope to establish a deep cooperative relationship with Dami, and both sides will be allies and advance and retreat together."

"Ally?" Lei Bushi was a little surprised.

"Yes."

Qin Han nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's the ally!"

"As a practitioner, Mr. Lei knows how competitive the new energy vehicle industry is now. I don't need to say more. Mr. Lei is also clear about the current status of the industry."

"What I want to say is that the Huawei system has become a force to be reckoned with. If we wait until it has become a major force, there will be no place for you and me."

"Even if there is a place to stand, it is just a struggle to survive!"

"In this situation, you can either surrender and join, or survive, or liquidate and exit!"

"I think these three situations are not what Mr. Lei wants to see, right?"

Lei Bush was silent, and then suddenly asked: "Why not a three-legged tripod?"

"Three legs?"

Qin Han smiled and said, "Besides Huawei and Rice, which company does Mr. Lei favor as the third one? Dizi? Or a state-owned enterprise?"

"Who do you think it will be, Mr. Qin?"

“I don’t think there will be a three-way competition, only one strong and many weak. In the future, there will only be Warwick and the others.”

"Is President Qin a little too pessimistic?"

"If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries. If you think about failure before you win, isn't this one of the qualities a helmsman should have?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Qin, have some tea."

Lei Bushi laughed and raised his teacup to show respect from a distance. Qin Han took two sips from the teacup and then continued, "Boss Lei, I came here with sincerity this time. Da Mi is destined not to join the Huawei system, so he is destined to be a competitor of Huawei."

"It just so happens that Infinite Auto doesn't have the hobby of being a puppet and making wedding dresses for others."

"From this point of view, we are natural allies!"

"But the competition in the industry is getting more and more fierce, and the Huawei system is continuing to expand. If we rely on ourselves to fight alone, it will be too difficult and will also cause a lot of internal consumption of resources. It is better for us to become allies and cooperate deeply."

Lei Bushi did not comment, but smiled and said, "Then Mr. Qin, why don't you elaborate on it?"

Qin Han nodded and continued: "1. Intelligent driving."

"Although intelligent driving is not yet mature, technology is changing with each passing day, and sooner or later it will mature. Moreover, intelligent driving is one of Huawei's trump cards, and it currently leads the pack in this area. Therefore, if we want to compete with Huawei in the future, we must make up for this shortcoming."

"You and I will jointly develop and iterate intelligent driving, share data, and share resources!"

“2. Unify the supply chain.”

"If our two companies use the same supply chain, Mr. Lei will definitely understand the benefits of doing so. Not only can we further reduce costs, but we can also strengthen our voice in the supply chain channel and avoid being constrained by others."

“3. Battery safety.”

"At present, new energy vehicles are still not liked and trusted by some consumers. One of the main reasons is that they are unsafe and prone to fire."

"A car can easily cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of yuan. If it catches fire, the loss will be hard for an ordinary family to bear. This makes many consumers doubtful and reluctant to buy new energy vehicles."

"You both work together to study battery safety, share experiences, share data, and share results."

"4. Insurance."

"There is another aspect of new energy vehicles that worries consumers, and that is insurance. If you can buy insurance in the first year, you may not be able to buy insurance in the second year. Even if you can buy it, if the car is in danger in the first year, the premium in the second year will increase significantly."

"Compared with fuel vehicles, the difference is huge!"

"You and I will jointly establish a car insurance company to protect our cars, so that car owners have no worries, and at the same time significantly enhance the brand's competitiveness."

"5..."

Qin Han talked incessantly and eloquently.

He was serious about developing new energy vehicles. The first task he gave to Su Wanru was to buy graphics cards, and the second task was to formulate a development plan for Infinite Automobile.

The development plans formulated by the think tank led by Su Wanru are comprehensive and insightful.

There are as many as more than a dozen of them. In addition to those mentioned by Qin Han above, there are also after-sales maintenance sharing, charging pile network sharing, etc.

It is worth mentioning maintenance sharing.

This is a major pain point for Mi Auto. Mi Auto currently has only more than 80 after-sales service outlets in only cities across the country.

The current number of Rice cars in use has exceeded 20, and is increasing at a rate of more than 2 per month.

That is to say, these more than 80 car owners can only go to after-sales service outlets in these cities across the country to repair and maintain their cars.

You can imagine how much pressure this involves.

Replacing a part or spraying a piece of paint may take a month, two months, or even half a year.

And there is,

Your car has a problem and cannot be repaired locally, so you need to drive hundreds of kilometers to an after-sales service outlet for repair.

This is very uncomfortable!
The car owners are dissatisfied, and Rice Auto is powerless to do anything. The honeymoon period between the two parties is rapidly shortening.

It's not that Dami Auto doesn't want to change this situation, but it really doesn't have the ability to do so. Dami Auto is a company that has only been established for a few years and currently has only one product. It has too many shortcomings, and its infrastructure and channel layout are also seriously insufficient.

It is very difficult to change this situation in a short period of time!

then,

When Qin Han suggested that Dami Auto could share unlimited car after-sales service outlets across the country, Lei Jun's eyes lit up immediately.

This one has a huge appeal to him!
He has seen countless complaints from car owners about the difficulty and long time it takes to repair their cars, and has urged his subordinates countless times to improve and solve these pain points, but the speed of adding after-sales outlets is far behind the sales growth of Rice Auto.

This can also be considered a kind of happy trouble!

Lei Jun is eager to solve this pain point as soon as possible. He clearly realizes that this is a place that will greatly reduce the goodwill of consumers. Maybe when a consumer buys a Xiaomi car for the first time and sees that the after-sales service of Xiaomi car is so bad, he may choose another brand for his next car.

It is very difficult, almost impossible, to make him change his mind.

Because adults’ ideas are hard to change!

Other than that,

Qin Han's other suggestion was to connect the Rice system to Infinite Cars, which also made Lei Jun very excited.

This will help Dami gain a group of high-quality, high-frequency users.

In general,

After listening to Qin Han's words, Lei Bushi had a lot of thoughts and strong intentions.

But as a big shot of his level, he naturally would not make promises easily, and he also needed time to think carefully. After all, if both parties started to cooperate comprehensively, it would affect many aspects, and it was so complicated that he had to be cautious.

"Does Director Qin have a plan?"

"Have."

Qin Han took a document from Shen Lan and handed it over.

Lei Bushi took it and smiled, "I will read it carefully. After reading it, I will give Mr. Qin an accurate answer."

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news."

Qin Han was about to get up and leave, but Lei Bushi invited him, "It's almost time for dinner, why don't you try our rice cafeteria?"

“Spanish goulash?”

Lei Jun was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

……

After having lunch with Rice and Lei Bushi, Qin Han got up and said goodbye.

After leaving the Rice Group, he did not return to the company, but rushed to the airport. He was going to the Hi-Tech headquarters in Pengcheng.

There was another board meeting at Gaoke in the afternoon, waiting for him to attend.

This time, it’s not about seizing power.

It’s not that Qin Han doesn’t want to, but doing it again and again, and continuing to do so in a short period of time, is a bit bad and can easily cause other people’s resentment.

In addition, Qin Han does not currently hold the largest number of Gaoke shares among all shareholders.

Even though he has spent a lot of money to continuously acquire shares during this period, he still only owns 30% of Gaoke's shares. Gaoke's founder Li Zhen and his family hold a total of 39% of Gaoke's shares and firmly control Gaoke.

4: p.m.

Qin Han and his group rushed to the headquarters of Pengcheng Hi-Tech, where they were greeted by Li Zhen and other shareholders who came downstairs to greet them.

Li Zhen and the shareholders were very enthusiastic and there was no sign of dissatisfaction.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while before going upstairs.

Immediately afterwards, a meeting of all shareholders of Gaoke was held.

To Qin Han's surprise, as soon as the meeting started, Li Zhen's first item on the agenda was "nominating Mr. Qin Han to join the board of directors."

Admittedly,

Qin Han now holds 30% of the shares. Even if Li Zhen did not initiate this issue, Qin Han could have fought for it himself. But now that Li Zhen took the initiative to initiate it, it shows a friendly attitude.

This is a gesture of goodwill.

Leading everyone downstairs to greet them was also a gesture of goodwill.

Qin Han was a little confused by the two attempts to show goodwill. What was going on? Why did he do this?
Could it be that he is afraid of me?
This shouldn’t be the case. This is the first time that Li Zhen and I have met!

What Qin Han didn't know was that his name had now spread throughout the entire new energy industry. Qin Han's name was known to everyone.

After all, Infinity Auto is no small player. It is one of the three giants in the new car-making forces and a company that has won the sales championship many times.

Even though Infinite Auto's sales and market share continue to decline, it was once glorious and still has considerable influence and heritage. But such an awesome company suddenly changed its leader overnight.

The founder Sun Zhiqiang was directly dismissed from all his positions and became a idler.

This made Li Zhen extremely shocked and he exclaimed that it was unbelievable.

But things did not go as planned. This strong man who had just seized the management rights of Infinity Automobile and kicked Sun Zhiqiang out of the company unexpectedly became the second largest shareholder of his own company.

How similar is this situation to the previous infinite car? ? ?
The lessons of the past are still fresh in our minds.

Ever since he learned that Qin Han had become the second largest shareholder of his company, Li Zhen had been terrified and couldn't sleep well at night. He was very worried that he would follow in Sun Zhiqiang's footsteps.

So, Li Zhen used various connections to inquire about various information about Qin and Han, while also constantly thinking about how to deal with the possible crisis.

After some consideration,

Li Zhen decided to use courtesy before force and see Qin Han's attitude first, instead of rushing up to fight him.

In that case, even if the other party has no intention of seizing power, he will probably be so angry that he wants to seize power.

Why bother?

Let’s talk it over first, and talk later if we can’t reach an agreement.

So, we have this scene today.

Li Zhen had a good control over Gaoke's board of directors. It might also be that he had already discussed it with other shareholders in advance. In any case, as soon as he nominated Qin Han to join the board of directors, the shareholders raised their hands to express their agreement.

Passed unanimously.

In this way, Qin Han got a seat on Gaoke's board of directors.

The second topic is
Li Zhen disclosed the company's financial statements, audit reports, strategic plans, etc. to Qin Han without reservation, including many confidential documents.

This is another attitude.

The third topic is
Li Zhen invited Qin Han to appoint a specialist to join the company's audit committee to participate in supervising executive performance and compliance.

Qin Han readily agreed and expressed his gratitude.

The atmosphere in the conference room was peaceful and harmonious.

At this point, the Gaoke board of directors came to an end.

There was no tension or tit-for-tat, which made Li Zhen and other shareholders breathe a sigh of relief.

Who wants to fight when peace can bring wealth?

After the board meeting,

Li Zhen held a banquet to welcome Qin Han, and Qin Han once again gladly agreed.

The next day, Qin Han rushed to Gaoke headquarters again.

This time he took people on a comprehensive tour of Hi-Tech, not only visiting the office space, but also the R&D center and manufacturing center.

Li Zhen was still very enthusiastic and accompanied us throughout the whole process and was responsible for explaining.

In the end, Qin Han was a little moved. Before leaving, he held Li Zhen's hand and said sincerely, "Boss Li, don't worry. I also like to make money through harmony."

Li Zhen immediately laughed and shook his hand firmly again.
