Spend money to play around the world

All the way to become the chairman and secretary of Changan Group.

However, he was an unlucky person. When he took over the affairs of the Chang'an Group, due to the impact of the general environment, the business of the entire group declined.

In the first year of taking over, Changan Automobile's sales fell by 9.8% year-on-year.

Immediately after the second year, in the field of joint venture brands, except for Changan Suzuki, which has faded out of the company, the other two joint venture brands, Changan Ford and Changan Mazda, both experienced a cliff-like decline, with a year-on-year decrease of 13.4%. A year-on-year decrease of 54.4%.

This made Zhu Rong feel like God was joking with him.

Why did the car sales of the group rise when he was not the chairman of the group, but when he became the chairman of the group, the car sales began to decline. The key point is that he didn't do anything. He felt that he Very wronged.

However, in this position, no matter how wronged you are, you have to endure it. As the chairman of a listed company, it is not enough to be conservative. If you fail to turn the tide, it means that you are not capable enough. You should be criticized and have no one to blame.

Therefore, while looking for the crux of the problem, Zhu Rong planned reform and innovation.

According to the investigation, he found that Changan is much slower than its competitors in terms of product updates and lacks new models!

Nowadays, the development of automobiles is very fast, and it is no longer the old era of "changing models every three years and every five years".

Of course, the iteration of technology is only one aspect. More importantly, there are more and more competitors. If no changes are made, it means being eliminated.

It's just that it's not easy to make changes. Changan wants to make changes, as do all other old-fashioned cars.

At present, new energy vehicles are a good direction for reform. Zhu Rong tried his best to fight against the opinions of the board of directors and invested heavily in this area, but the effect was not very good.

The sales of Eado EV, which was launched in the past few years, have always been mediocre. Although the overall new energy vehicle sector saw a surge last year, the sales of Eado EV were better, but this year's sales have fallen again.

In the first quarter of this year, the combined sales of all Eado EVs sold less than [-] units, and sales continued to decline. Monthly car sales have fallen below four digits, with only a few hundred units .

If this trend continues, Yidong EV may become cold again.

Just when Zhu Rong was full of sadness, he accidentally saw a piece of news about lithium-air batteries, which made him think something else.

------------

380. Horror Endurance

In fact, Zhu Rong didn't believe it at the beginning when he saw the data that the energy density was as high as 1200wh/kg.

He even sneered, thinking that [-]% of them were fooling people.

Because this energy density is 2021-4 times that of the traditional ternary battery used in Changan's 6 new energy vehicles, the difference is too big, which makes people feel like talking from heaven.

But because this company is called Yinhe Battery Company, and he had used Yinhe Pharmaceutical Company's whitening toothpaste before, and thought it was very useful, he thought about sending someone to understand and contact him.

Although I don't really believe that Yinhe Battery Company has really produced such a lithium-air battery with such a terrifying energy density, it is still possible to send someone to take a look, and it doesn't take a lot of thought.

Zhu Rong really sent someone to the bank battery company to learn about their lithium-air batteries.

After the sent person came back, he was very pleasantly surprised and told Zhu Rong that the Yinhe Battery Company had indeed made a lithium-air battery, and the energy density was extremely high, and he swore that it was 1200wh/kg!

Zhu Rong was a little happy when he heard the news, but after all, he hadn't tested it, so he felt that there might still be some fakes.

Therefore, they sent people to contact Yinhe Battery Company again, expressing their hope to conduct a cooperative test with them. If the other party's lithium-air battery test passes, Chang'an Company will place a large number of orders with Yinhe Battery Company.

This cooperation request was accepted by Yinhe Battery Company.

So, after some cooperation and preparations by both parties, an Eado EV equipped with a lithium-air battery was dragged to a comprehensive test track in Changan in the mountain city yesterday morning, and the driving test began.

Since yesterday, Zhu Rong has been paying attention to this test, and he didn't even sleep well last night. He came to the company early today just to read the report about the test. He is a little angry.

However, there is no other way now, so we can only wait and see.

……

When Zhu Rong was anxiously waiting for news from the test track.

In the comprehensive test track of Changan Automobile in Shancheng, the test has not stopped since it started yesterday, and it is still going on at this moment.

As one of the drivers tested at this time, Qian Weiliang was the fourth driver to take over the car fitted with a 'new battery'.

In fact, Qian Weiliang was a little upset when he came to the test track yesterday and waited tediously here.

It's just measuring an electric car with a new battery. How can 4 people be needed, 1 person is enough.

However, with the passage of time, Qian Weiliang really realized the good intentions of so many drivers.

The first driver drove the Yidong EV with a new battery for more than six hours, with a distance of 510km, and then he was too tired and went down to rest.

The second driver, who ran for 7 hours and 515km, couldn't carry it anymore.

The third driver, because he was driving at night, consumed a lot of energy and physical strength, and only ran for less than 6 hours, with a distance of 450km.

The three drivers in front have run for a little more than 18 hours, with a distance of 1475km.

If you come alone, because of the terrain of the test track, you may have a car accident while driving.

But this is not the point. The point is that this Yidong EV with a new battery has run more than 1400 km.

Moreover, Qian Weiliang took over the driving task at 4 o'clock in the morning, and it has been 6 hours now, and the car can still run, and the battery has not run out of power!

Qian Weiliang glanced at the distance traveled on the dial of the car from the corner of his eye, 1963km!

"It's so scary..."

Qian Weiliang murmured emotionally, his hands were a little unsteady, he quickly took a deep breath, slowed down the speed of the car, and tried his best to stabilize the steering wheel.

An electric car with a battery life of 1963km, and it can still run now?

Is this going against the sky or what?

I remember that before the test started, Qian Weiliang was still in the lounge, listening to the person in charge of Yinhe Battery Company say with a smile:

"This lithium-air battery pack of our company has a super high energy density. Under the same quality, it is several times stronger than the ternary battery pack carried by your company's original Yidong EV. It is no problem to run 2000km casually. Everyone has to be mentally prepared."

Hearing this, Qian Weiliang laughed on the spot, and not only him, but also several other drivers present.

What a joke, the most powerful electric car in the market now has a battery life of less than 800km, and it is still the official number. In fact, it can shrink by half when it runs down.

Under normal circumstances, it is not bad to be able to reach 500km.

And the battery life is 2000km, what is this concept?

Based on Qian Weiliang's understanding of the automobile industry, he feels that if there is a car battery, it can reach 2000km of battery life.

So, basically there is no such thing as a fuel car.

And such an epoch-making battery product seems unlikely to appear now, it is too fake.
