Let you build cars, and you will be happy to produce them?

The best promotion channel for a new car is actually a car show.

The Modu Auto Show will have to wait until next year, and the closest one is the Imperial Auto Show.

The scale of the Imperial Capital Auto Show is no worse than that of the Magic Capital, or even higher.

Wuling wants to become an instant hit, and auto shows are the most important publicity platform.

of course,

What's more important is that before the auto show starts, a lot of media must be found to conduct warm-up activities for the new car.

Qin Hao is also planning to find some self-media to warm up Wuling's new car before the auto show, and to promote the technology of Wuling's new car before the auto show.

Let the public have the most intuitive impression of Wuling's new cars.

There are still two months left, which is definitely enough time to complete the research and development of a car.

All the design plans have been finalized, and the battery and electronic control technology are already available. The next thing to do is to produce the car, and then match and test various software and hardware.

The supplier is then notified of the dimensions of various spare parts.

"As for the production line, let's use the old one for the time being. I just bought the electronic control system, and the money in the account cannot be touched for the time being. I have to keep it for settlement."

There must be sufficient cash flow in the factory account.

Qin Hao originally wanted to get it done in one step and bought the production line.

But now that I think about it, let’s wait. Anyway, there are still two months left, and we will buy the production line next month.

Another month passed.

The research and development of Wuling's two new vehicles has been basically completed, and test vehicles have been produced.

Solid-state batteries have also begun production.

On this day, Lu Tingsheng came to find Qin Hao.

"Mr. Qin, it's not good, there's going to be a fight below!"

"Ok?"

Qin Hao looked confused and hurried downstairs.

After asking, I found out that it was Xu Zilai and Zhao Sixi who had a quarrel over the battery problems of the two cars.

Lu Tingsheng, an old boy, probably wanted to watch the excitement, so he told Qin Hao that the fight was going to be very bad.

"Mr. Qin, you're here at the right time. You're here to comment. I said our new car should have as big a battery as there is space in it."

"Isn't this wrong?"

Zhao Sixi told Qin Hao his point of view, and his idea was correct.

The installation of the car battery is based on how much space is available after all parts of the vehicle are installed.

This is totally fine.

But Xu Zilai disagreed with him.

"No, Mr. Qin, our cars are mainly low-end and popular, and the energy density of solid-state batteries is different from other batteries."

"A 200KG solid-state battery can store more power than other car manufacturers' 400KG battery packs."

"I think that since our new car is for the masses, the cruising range does not need to be too high. After all, our new car is positioned to pick up and drop off children and also serve as a grocery cart, so it does not need too much cruising range."

"This way we can save a lot of costs."

As an engineer who came out of Ricky, Xu Zilai is a rigorous science man at heart.

In addition, I am accustomed to Ricky's work style, and everything must be rigorous.

Since it is positioned as a low-end grocery cart, it does not need much cruising range, and the battery is small, which can save a lot of costs.

If you think about it carefully, Xu Zilai's idea is actually not wrong.

So the two started arguing over the size of the battery.

In the end, no one could convince anyone, and Qin Hao could only make the decision.

Qin Hao couldn't laugh or cry. Does this issue still need to be argued?

"Well, there's no need for you to argue over this."

"A car doesn't only have one configuration. You can configure it with two batteries."

"An extreme civilian approach that ensures sufficient cruising range and saves costs at the same time."

“Let’s create a high-endurance version for those who need long-endurance.”

A pure electric vehicle must have several endurance versions.

What is the basic battery life version and what is the ultimate battery life version.

Hearing Qin Hao's words, Zhao Sixi said helplessly: "I just told Lao Xu the same thing, but I said that our battery has advantages. The basic version has a battery life of 300 kilometers, which is no problem at all."

"But he said that the basic battery life is 300 kilometers, which is not necessary. Just do 150 kilometers."

Xu Zilai immediately retorted: "Our batteries have advantages, but the cost of solid-state batteries is also much higher than ordinary lithium batteries."

"The most basic version of the new car, according to Mr. Qin, must be in volume and the price must be absolutely cheap."

"If vehicle safety configurations cannot be reduced, the only way to reduce costs is from the battery."

Xu Zilai was considering the issue of cost.

"But Lao Xu, you have to know that if our car wants to be an instant hit, it must have enough advantages. The cruising range is the core thing of the electric car."

"It's also our biggest advantage. We can't cut off our own limbs to compete with others."

Zhao Sixi is considering the advantages that will be needed after the vehicle is launched.

What both of them said makes sense.

Those who engage in technology are all stuck in one mind and think that what they say is absolutely right.

Especially when meeting a technical expert at the same level as myself.

That is no one will accept anyone.

"It seems that I need a director of the R&D department, so that I can have a good time among these men in science and engineering."

It is normal for the R&D department to quarrel.

The R&D department of any company would be embarrassed to say that they are engaged in R&D if they don’t argue several times a day.

Even many times, when encountering unconvinced opponents, no one can convince the other. At this time, one person needs to stand up, synthesize these technical opinions, play both sides, and convince both parties.

"You two, what you said is actually correct."

"But, from my perspective, I think what Lao Xu said is actually very good. For cost reasons, it is right to reduce the weight of the battery pack."

"But, I have to think from the perspective of our Wuling Motors. I think Lao Zhao's idea is better. Our Wuling is a new brand. If we want to make a name for ourselves, we must have enough advantages."

What Qin Hao said made Zhao Sixi and Xu Zilai want to roll their eyes.

Mr. Qin, what you said is like saying nothing.

Lu Tingsheng snickered, talking about chicken thieves, it has to be Mr. Qin.

"Okay, let me be honest, I think Lao Zhao's idea is right."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Qin Hao had no choice but to support Zhao Sixi.

Because Zhao Sixi had the same idea as him.

"hey-hey……"

Zhao Si was happy.

Although Xu Zilai was a little angry, he felt relieved after thinking that what Qin Hao said was actually right.

These are just opinions from work.

It will not affect his relationship with Zhao Sixi.

"Mr. Qin, now that the battery has been decided, tomorrow we will start testing the vehicle's cruising range and various performance."

The battery matter has been settled.

Basically nothing.

All that's left to do is to get all the vehicle testing done before the auto show starts.

Zhao Sixi and Xu Zilai got together again to think about it.

"Lao Xu, tell me, if this battery is equipped with this electronic control, if it uses a 20kwh solid-state battery and a motor with a power of 100KW, how much cruising range can it have?"

"Hmm...according to my guess, it should be around 240."

"No, I think there are at least more than 300."

"Not so much, right? A 100kw motor consumes a lot of power."

"How about we try tomorrow?"

"can."
