I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

"Boss Lei, you brought everyone here for inspection. You should be preparing to place an order, right?"

Among the few people, except for BYD's Vice President Wang who was not invited by President Lei, the remaining President Li and President He have a good relationship with President Lei.

It was Jiang Hao who first made the appointment with Mr. Lei today.

This Vice President Wang was just a by-product, and President Lei knew him so they sat down together to communicate.

"Haha! Mr. Jiang, if we don't place an order, do we not even have the qualifications to visit?"

"No, it's just that Mr. Lei is very busy with his work, so how can he have the time to visit companies that have nothing to do with Xiaomi Group's business?"

In response to Mr. Lei's joke, Jiang Hao also responded casually.

Since the PCL finals, Xpeng Motors seems to have suddenly become popular.

Sales are starting to grow, and this month's sales are expected to reach more than 3000 units.

This was completely beyond the expectations of Mr. He and Jiang Hao during their private conversation.

If the monthly sales volume can stabilize at this number, the Xiaopeng G3 will be able to cover the costs and generate real profits.

The earliest estimated annual sales volume was about 2 vehicles, which means it would take two years to cover the R&D costs.

As for two years later, that is when the new car will be launched.

In essence, Mr. He has not intended to make Xiaopeng Motors truly profitable in recent years.

It means constantly spending money, constantly iterating products, and accumulating technology.

Now that sales have exceeded expectations, there is hope that the company can reap some benefits before the release of the new generation of models.

I came here today to place a new order.

After all, if sales can be maintained, the original order of 2 vehicles will definitely not be enough.

Xiaopeng Motors currently does not allow customers to wait for a schedule to pick up their cars. Real customers might run away if they hear that they have to wait for the car.

Since Xiaopeng Motors has made progress, Kirin batteries have finally been noticed by everyone.

"Boss Jiang, this is hard to say."

There was a meaningful smile on Mr. Lei's face, which made Jiang Hao think subconsciously.

As far as I know, Mr. Lei would not build a car so early, right?

Xiaomi Group's ecological chain has just been laid out and matured. Could it be that Lei Jun's intention to build cars in this life has been brought forward?

Or is it that Mr. Lei has always had the idea of ​​building a car, but it will take some time before he actually announces it?

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao decided to talk to Mr. Wang from BYD first.

After all, Mr. Wang came with a clear purpose and his intentions were briefly communicated.

"Mr. Wang, are you going to place an order for batteries for 10,000 vehicles?"

When Mr. Wang heard this, he glanced at the people in front of him, but did not suggest talking in private. Instead, he nodded in agreement.

"There is no problem with the order. Our Qilin Battery Factory also has this production capacity. We can arrange production next month and it will be fully delivered in about a month."

"But Mr. Wang, I remember that your group has a battery company, right?"

BYD's batteries are independently developed and the company has long been involved in the electric vehicle field.

BYD was also the first company in China to attempt plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

It can be said that in the field of batteries, BYD should be self-sufficient.

"Yes, but the output is not as high as you expected, Mr. Jiang."

"Moreover, BYD's electric vehicles have many versions for users to choose from. In terms of the group's entire battery supply, in addition to our own battery factory, we also purchase batteries from CATL and LG Group and maintain long-term cooperation."

"I came here this time to develop new business with Mr. Jiang and Mr. Liu. I hope to maintain a long-term battery supply business cooperation."

After all, it is a large group in the domestic automobile field. In recent years, BYD's status in the country has rapidly improved.

The market value is also constantly expanding, and the electric vehicle field is the second company to get a piece of the pie after Tesla.

As its business philosophy is somewhat different from that of Tesla, BYD still operates in a group manner and considers the risks involved.

So when it comes to batteries, we mainly use our own batteries.

But the first-tier high-end battery manufacturers in the market will maintain cooperation.

Just like the Kirin battery, it is the No. 1 in power battery performance on the market, even CATL cannot compare with it.

This is also the reason why BYD came here to purchase this time, and ordered a batch first for cooperative research and development attempts.

At the same time, it can also provide technical support for its battery factories.

Jiang Hao was not surprised by this. On the one hand, Kirin Battery has registered patents, but on the other hand, there is a great difficulty in intelligent manufacturing technology.

On the other hand, Kirin Battery has the investment of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, so there are many concerns. The most important thing is to learn the technology.

And by the time the other party has figured it out, the next generation of batteries will probably have entered the production stage.

"No problem. Kirin Battery will increase its production capacity next year and is willing to maintain long-term cooperation with BYD."

"Regarding the order, I'll let Mr. Liu sign it with you later."

Mr. Wang nodded without surprise, then looked at Mr. He opposite him with a smile.

"Mr. He, we are all in the same industry, can you tell us a little bit? How many vehicles are you planning to expand production this time?"

"With another 4 units, we hope to sell more than units this year."

Mr. He did not hide anything. Since Mr. Lei was willing to ask them to sit down and talk, he also wanted to test the waters with each other.

BYD is now considered the leader among domestic electric vehicles, so there is no disadvantage in exchanging ideas with each other.

"What about Mr. Li?"

After Mr. Wang finished speaking, he glanced at Mr. Li standing beside him.

"Me? I'm not sure yet."

"We need to first look at the production volume of Mr. Jiang's Qilin Battery Factory."

"For the time being, our main supplier is still CATL, but we hope to maintain closer cooperation with Kirin Battery in the future."

Mr. Li from NIO has really thought about how many orders to place.

He is not familiar with the production capacity of the Kirin battery factory. Recently, he saw the good sales of Xiaopeng G3 and noticed the difference in battery performance.

Although the overall performance difference is not big, there is a difference after all.

The overall driving range is 20 to 30 kilometers, and the company does not even dare to use slogans such as "the best battery in the industry" in its publicity.

This is also the reason why Mr. Li came here, to transfer part of CATL's battery orders to Kirin Battery.

Anyway, CATL's power battery output is not high, and it is still produced in old factories. The output is not much different from today's Kirin batteries.

The entire industry is now at a stage where there are many car companies but few batteries.

Although Kirin Battery and CATL will definitely be competitors in the future, they are not now.

What’s more, companies on both sides are competing with each other to upgrade batteries and supply them to the global market.

About half an hour later, Jiang Hao was still discussing the specific battery performance with Mr. Li.

Mr. Wang left first with Mr. Liu and went to the office to look at the contract signing form.

As soon as Mr. Wang left, Jiang Hao clearly felt that the three people opposite him in the room were much more relaxed.

After all, if Mr. Wang is around, you have to be more cautious about what you say.

Now that Jiang Hao and the three of them are the only ones left, there is nothing to be shy about.

Jiang Hao was not in a hurry to confirm the order with Mr. Li at this moment. Instead, he turned to look at Mr. Lei.

"Boss Lei, do you have the idea of ​​building a car?"
