Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 580 Developmental changes

The original intention of air-launched launch vehicles is to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Now Galaxy Power is starting from scratch and has not even launched the rocket. When the time comes, it will buy a retired passenger plane and find a place to modify it?

However, Qu Li originally wanted to broaden the boundaries of their imagination. Don't bring the same ideas of doing things in central enterprises to Galaxy Power. He is willing to accept failure.

Qu Li followed several procedures at Galaxy Power to see if there were any management problems. Qu Li quickly came to Geometry Auto.With so many companies under his umbrella, in terms of familiarity, the one he knows best is definitely e-commerce retail, followed by cars, and then smartphones and rocket launches.Honor's success is a matter of luck and brand building, and has little to do with how the phone is built.

Qu Li was the only one who studied hard on cars. Although he didn't understand car-making technology, he was familiar with the entire design, manufacturing, and sales process, so ordinary people couldn't fool him.

"Have you contacted the construction company?" Qu Li asked Zhang Qinan. Since CATL can supply them, there is no need to strictly control production capacity. The factory can be built first.

"We have been contacted and they have said there is no problem in speeding up the completion process."

As long as the money is in place, the speed can be doubled. Qu Li is unwilling to increase the money. After all, that time has not yet come, so Zhang Qinan can only coordinate within his authority.

It's not that Qu Li wants to embarrass them, it's that when a company reaches a certain level, it can't just think about using money to solve problems when it encounters them. It should pay attention to cultivating the capabilities of the management.How to cultivate?Of course, it is to deal with one thing. You can't just be in the classroom and have your soul out of your body and control it thousands of miles away, right?

Geometry Cars doesn’t have much going on right now. A new car is under development, which is “model Y” and has an active suspension function, and this feature will be applied to current Geometry cars.

In 2012, Mercedes-Benz launched their "Magic Carpet" suspension magic body, a technology that was only envisioned by Qiancheng Geometry. Someone asked Qu Li for his opinion. He did not shy away and went head-on.

"This just shows that traditional cars are progressing towards intelligence. I am not afraid of them taking the lead, but I am afraid that our direction is wrong. Now, everyone can see that we are indeed one step behind, but the direction is right." Qu Li continued : "Give me a moment, no company in the world can lead us in vehicle intelligence."

Such arrogant remarks would certainly have been ridiculed in the domestic Internet environment in 2012. However, Honor is the world's number one smartphone company, with self-developed chips and operating systems, and a market value of more than 1000 billion US dollars. No matter how bad the trolls are, Honor is a world-class technology company.

Since we can’t deny Honor’s technology, we can only deny Honor’s quality. Anyway, the topic is on the rise, and it does not prevent CMEF from becoming a domestic brand that is not “domestic”.

Some engineers from Honor and Geometry got together to discuss that the super factory that Qu Li wanted is currently unavailable. Technologies such as active air suspension are still achievable. Although there is a lack of suppliers, Qu Li is famous here and he has made it public many times. After talking about his goals, Honor had a "record" of supporting the supply chain, so entrepreneurs came to him.

Honor has established an investment department. When the technology is mature, it will be incorporated into the supply chain system. If the technology is possible and the founder team has excellent resume, then it will become a venture capital.

The flag that Qu Li set up in the country and his eagerness for talents have attracted a large number of outstanding talents. Around him, there are also all kinds of big scams.Fortunately, he is focused on his goals and is not a saintly person. Although he takes the initiative to do charity, he never stops when he sees someone begging.It is very difficult to kidnap the thick-faced and sinister Qu Li through morality.

“How many digitally signed versions of Geometry have been sold?” asked an Honor engineer.

"Even without asking this question, we are still good friends."

I really don’t have any discernment. Didn’t you see that Geometry Auto’s production capacity is at full capacity?

"Hasn't the car spontaneously ignited yet?" Someone else asked ignorantly.

Although Geometry Auto has made a lot of efforts, from battery electronic control to battery pack protection, no one can guarantee that there will be no problems. If it is really going to spontaneously ignite, then we should do a good job in investigating and accumulating data for improving technology.

Finally, the "unintelligent" ADAS chip has surpassed the EyeQ2010 released by mobileye in 2. The new generation of automotive chips under development will have greater breakthroughs and will be released this year, ranging from computing power to power consumption. Great progress.

“It is guaranteed that L2 level autonomous driving can be achieved.” The unwise engineer boasted

"We don't do autonomous driving, only assisted driving."

Mobileye will make great progress this year and become the supplier of ADAS assisted driving chips with the largest installed base in the world. Unfortunately, this industry is progressing too fast. Qualcomm, AMD, and Nvidia have entered the market one by one, and even Chrysanthemum Factory has taken the initiative to enter the game.Mobileye, which was later acquired by Intel, both experienced a decline in performance, revenue and market share.

Wei Zhi's products are mainly installed on Qiancheng Geometry's products. With sales of more than 30 vehicles this year, I don't know if they can cover the cost.

"The cost of chip development is hard to say, but the cost of the navigation driving recorder has come back."

"There is a lot of room for improvement in assisted driving algorithms and computing power. Especially after the neural network algorithm paper was published last year, it gave us a lot of inspiration."

Thanks to Li Feifei's imagenet project, which has greatly promoted the development of artificial intelligence. Even cats can recognize it, and it is easy to see several traffic lines and signs clearly.

Honor and Qiancheng discussed the future, while Qu Li was busy with his own affairs, which did not affect the entrepreneurship in the domestic mobile Internet industry and the emerging sharing business.

For example, Kuaidi in Hangzhou has received an investment from Ali, and many online ride-hailing companies in Beijin are seeking investment, such as Yidao Private Car and Didi Dache.

The founding team of Didi Taxi has many members, including Ali and Jumei. Qu Li and Lin Bing had communicated about online taxis a long time ago, so the news reached his ears.

Online car-hailing will definitely be a success. As for who can do it well, Qu Li really dare not make a judgment. Anyway, there is no shortage of funds and technology.

"We must invest in online ride-hailing and increase the frequency of Jupay usage..." Qu Li expressed his position

So why choose Didi Taxi?The outside world is optimistic about the combination of Jumei and Ali. Jumei's flexibility and management efficiency, coupled with Ali's local promotion and sales, are well-known in the industry.So although Kuaidi in Hangzhou still has the upper hand, as long as Didi can raise funds or get support from Jumei or Goose Factory, the hope is great.

So Qu Li took the time to meet with the Didi Taxi team and talked about his views on online ride-hailing. The market must first be cultivated. Apart from burning money and subsidizing consumers and drivers in both directions, there is no good way. Now At this stage, burning money is the most efficient promotion method, and in the future, algorithms will be relied upon.
