Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

"Yes, although English must be learned, its importance cannot be denied."

"But why should it continue to dominate the world?"

"The influence that English can achieve, one day our Chinese can also achieve."

When communicating with Xiang Changle, Cao Yang basically spoke casually, saying whatever he thought of.

As they talked, the two talked about this year's campus recruitment.

October will soon be over, and many large companies' campus recruitment work has officially started.

Whether it is Venus Technology or other brother companies, they are naturally preparing for this year's campus recruitment.

"This year, the total number of campus recruitments of our five major groups has reached 110,000, which should be regarded as a historical record."

There is naturally nothing that cannot be said about things that are about to be officially announced.

"There are 110,000 campus recruitments alone?"

"Then wouldn't your groups add up to almost 1 million people?"

Xiang Changle knew that Nanshan's companies have a great influence and a large number of employees.

However, since Honor Technology's production is entrusted to BYD, he has always wondered if the number of people is not that large.

I didn't expect it to reach 1 million.

"Next year, we estimate that we will have 1 million, but we are still a little short of that now."

"But we generally don't publicize the number of employees of all groups now. Each group only recruits its own companies."

The scale of campus recruitment of more than 100,000 people is absolutely unprecedented.

Although the number of graduates is increasing every year, the number of fresh graduates in 2014 was only 7.27 million, and 110,000 of them went to Nanshan companies.

These are graduates who directly entered Nanshan companies. If the graduates who entered the companies in the industrial chain for seven days are also counted, the estimated number will be close to 300,000.

Such exaggerated data can also be regarded as a side confirmation of the huge influence of Nanshan companies.

"You originally split up Nanshan Group because you were worried that it would attract attention if it was too big, right?"

"But now it doesn't really matter whether you split it up or not. Even if you want to keep a low profile, none of the subordinate groups can keep a low profile."

"Nanshan Automobile Group, Honor Technology Group, Venusstar Technology Group, Nanshan Energy Group, Nanshan Media Group, all of them are top companies in the industry."

"But your groups are really competitive and can come up with some technologies that are not available internationally or that we haven't mastered yet."

Xiang Changle has been dealing with Nanshan companies for many years and is very clear about the situation there.

Yangcheng can become the city with the highest GDP in China, and even Lingnan Province can become the province with the highest GDP. Nanshan companies have definitely made an indelible contribution.

"That being said, splitting into several groups does not bring such a big stimulus after all. Otherwise, the scale is too large and it is a bit scary."

Nanshan companies are not like Foxconn, which relies on OEM to make the scale of labor very large.

A large part of the current staff are R\u0026D personnel.

The automation ratio of the production line is among the best in China and the world.

Under such circumstances, there are still so many employees, which is even more extraordinary.

The most important thing is that the companies of the Nanshan system are all international giants, and they did not develop by competing with other domestic companies.

So even if the companies of the Nanshan system have blocked the development path of many companies, their reputation in China is very good.

"That's right. Our Lingnan University of Technology has been expanding its enrollment in recent years. After the expansion of some schools, the employment rate and employment quality of graduates have declined."

"But ours has not declined. The number of graduates each year has exceeded 10,000, and it may even reach 12,000 next year."

"When the students who enrolled this year graduate, the number will reach 15,000."

"Due to the existence of the Nanshan system companies, they are all easy to find jobs, which has also affected countless families in Lingnan Province."

There are not many good universities in Lingnan Province, at least compared with cities such as the Imperial Capital and the Magic City, there is no way to compare.

However, because the employment quality of graduates from several universities in the province has been very high in recent years, and the pace of annual enrollment expansion has also been very large, the enrollment rate of high school graduates is actually quite good, and the final employment quality is even more amazing.

In Guangzhou, a student who graduates from an ordinary undergraduate school may find a job with a better income than those from many 211 or even 985 universities.

This phenomenon has gradually been noticed by many people.

So some second-tier schools began to appear, and many of the admission scores actually exceeded the first-tier line.

Especially for admissions from other provinces, this situation is even more obvious.

I have to say that this is also a very remarkable existence.

"As long as we have more companies that can make breakthroughs in the high-tech field, the employment problem will not be a big problem."

"Only by developing more high-tech companies can we need more high-end talents."

"Otherwise, if everyone goes to the factory to screw screws, junior high school graduation will be enough."

Cao Yang thought of the scene of graduates in later generations who were unemployed after graduation, and he was quite emotional.

Although there are many reasons, China's strength in the high-tech field is still not strong enough, which is definitely an important reason.

Look at high-tech companies like Nanshan Semiconductor. More than 90% of the employees in a company have a bachelor's degree, and the number of employees with a doctorate degree exceeds 10,000.

Where do ordinary companies need so many doctors?

The total number of doctors who graduated in 2014 was only 54,000.

And in the campus recruitment plan of Nanshan companies this year, the number of positions for doctoral degrees is more than 10,000.

In the future, the number of people with doctoral degrees in the entire Nanshan company may exceed 100,000.

That's even more exaggerated.

At that time, it is possible to make any product.

Ordinary companies simply can't afford so many highly educated and highly paid talents.

After Cao Yang and Xiang Changle finished discussing this year's campus recruitment, the various companies in the Nanshan system quickly officially released this year's campus recruitment schedule and plan.

Needless to say, even netizens with average computing ability can know that the number of campus recruitments of Nanshan companies exceeds 100,000 people after a little calculation.

This is definitely good news.

After so many years of development, Nanshan-affiliated companies have undoubtedly become one of the companies that Huaxia graduates want to go to the most.

In the list of best employers of relevant institutions last year, almost all Nanshan-affiliated companies were on the list.

Even many graduates chose to work in Nanshan-affiliated companies after receiving multiple offers.

Various related news have spread all over the Internet.

Even Huaxia TV spent more than ten seconds in the news broadcast to briefly introduce this news.

Some companies that have already felt the benefits of this kind of publicity will naturally not miss this rhythm.

"Mr. Wang, all our campus recruitment plans are carried out in the same time period as Nanshan-affiliated companies."

"As long as the Nanshan-affiliated companies go to colleges and universities for presentations, we will go there."

BYD Group is the largest OEM manufacturer of Honor Technology. Relying on OEM Honor mobile phones, PADs and other products, their scale in the OEM field is no smaller than Foxconn.

Even with the rapid development of customers such as Honor Technology and Huawei, BYD will soon become the world's largest OEM company.

The sales contributed by their OEM business is definitely much higher than that of the automotive business.

Wang Fu didn't know whether he should be happy or sad about this.

However, he kept up with the development pace of Nanshan enterprises and kept the same pace.

Wang Fu never hesitated about this persistence.

"We recruited more than 20,000 people on campus this year. Although we can't compare with Nanshan enterprises, we should be among the best in China."

"You can arrange people to do a good marketing and make a ranking of campus recruiters to let everyone know the scale of our BYD."

"In the past few years, most of our recruits were ordinary undergraduates, and even many of them graduated from three or junior colleges."

"In recent years, the profits contributed by the OEM business have continued to increase, and the market value of the group has also continued to increase. We have invested more funds in human resources."

"Recruiting more students who graduated from good universities will be more meaningful for the long-term development of the group."

No matter what kind of enterprise, after the scale of development becomes larger, the requirements for the graduation schools of students recruited on campus will definitely continue to increase.

Just like in the previous life, before 2020, BYD wanted to recruit students who graduated from 985, which was quite difficult.

It's not that no one will go, but the proportion is definitely not high.

But by 2024, the situation will be completely different.

Not to mention the general 985, even schools like Tsinghua and Peking University have many people going to BYD.

It's already difficult for ordinary undergraduate graduates to get in, unless you are relatively outstanding.

In just a few years, the situation has changed a lot.

Now, as BYD's automotive business is developing faster, the OEM business has soared.

So the situation of campus recruitment has changed in advance.

"Well, I plan to market this topic on Weibo so that more people know about BYD."

"But it's probably a bit weak to rely on our own strength to market."

"Huawei's campus recruitment this year has exceeded 10,000 people. I think we can pull them together to do this marketing, and the effect will definitely be better at that time."

When Zhong Qiang said this, Wang Fu's eyes lit up immediately.

Huawei is also an important customer of BYD.

All Huawei mobile phones and computers are handed over to BYD for OEM production.

There is no competitive relationship between them at all.

It is definitely more effective to market the topic of campus recruitment with Huawei than to simply post a few Weibo posts about how many people you have recruited.

"No problem, you can decide on this matter yourself."

"Anyway, we just need to promote our reputation and attract more outstanding talents to join our team."

"Especially since our automotive business has declined a bit in the past year, it would be of great significance if we can take this opportunity to gain more recognition from young people."

Throughout 2014, China's automobile market can definitely be said to be in a state of ice and fire.

Nanshan Hongqi, Nanshan Automobile Group, Changan Automobile and other companies have continued to grow along the way.

However, the sales of Chery, Great Wall and BYD have declined to a certain extent.

Although measures such as suppressing Volkswagen some time ago have given us some room for development, the overall situation of poor sales has not changed.

Wang Fu is actually a little anxious that the automobile business that he values ​​​​has developed like this.

However, he does not regret his idea of ​​independently developing various technologies.

Especially in the accumulation of technology in the fields related to new energy vehicles, he has invested a lot of money in the past two years.

One after another, these technologies will definitely lead to some breakthroughs.

By then, BYD Auto is expected to stand out from other independent brands and once again achieve take-off.

"Well, the age group of consumers who buy cars now is constantly declining."

“Ten years ago, there were very few people who were 25 years old in the car buying group.”

"But now many college students start thinking about buying a car as soon as they graduate."

Although Zhong Qiang is not directly responsible for the sales field, he is naturally very aware of market changes.

China's automobile market and consumers can be said to be the most unique and fastest-changing in the world.

For example, in Japan and Korea, the current market structure may not have changed much from what it was ten years ago.

But in China, if you are still using the same routine as ten years ago, it is estimated that the market will teach you how to behave.

"Yes, young people are much more receptive to various high-tech products, and their receptiveness to electric vehicles is also very high."

"This is an opportunity for us. In the next few years, relying on the increase in electric vehicles, we are expected to achieve the goal of 1 million annual sales. It is entirely possible to become second only to Nanshan Automobile Group in the future."

Wang Fu's expectations for BYD Auto have never been lowered.

Especially in the development of new energy vehicles, he has very high hopes.

But so far, it seems like they got up early and rushed to a late set.

Although they were among the first car companies to launch electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, the sales of electric vehicles were surpassed by Changan Automobile, Yangcheng Aian and Future Automobile.

This is definitely not something Wang Fu can accept.

"Mr. Wang, the current overall selling price of electric vehicles is still on the high side. I think the group can focus on reducing the cost of electric vehicles and make the sales price of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles the same as that of fuel vehicles of the same grade. "

"In this way, taking into account the purchase tax incentives and the reduction in vehicle costs, the market prospects of these vehicles should be very worth looking forward to."

“That’s where our strengths are best reflected.”

Except for Nanshan Automobile Group, no other company has a greater layout of three-power parts than BYD.

Zhong Qiang is also very clear about this.

That's why he thought of suppressing competitors from a cost perspective so that BYD could stand out.

Make the mid- to low-end market bigger and stronger first, and then consider the high-end market after the brand influence increases.

Unlike new forces such as Qiantu Motors and Xpeng Motors, which initially targeted vehicles priced at hundreds of thousands, it is obviously still very challenging to quickly hit high-target sales like that.

"Your suggestion is very good. I will make a special report later and discuss it carefully within our company."

Wang Fu is still very confident in Zhong Qiang's vision.

So he actually tends to agree with this development plan, but he must be cautious when it comes to major adjustments to future strategies.

…

Zhong Qiang acted quickly. After receiving the topic of campus recruitment hype, Warwick quickly realized the beauty of it.

In terms of popularity, Warwick obviously still has a lot of room for improvement in this regard.

Even if it weren't for the development of consumer electronics business in recent years, many people in China would not know that there is a company like Warwick.

After all, the United States doesn't have much energy to deal with Warwick yet.

The enterprises in the Nanshan Group alone have already caused them to lose sight of one thing.

"Mr. Cao, topics related to campus recruitment are very popular on the Internet these days. Several of our companies, BYD, Warwick and other companies have received great attention from graduates and netizens."

"I think we can take this opportunity to allow various companies to expand various competitions and scholarships in major universities."

"This is very beneficial for us to select some high-end talents and increase our visibility."

Liu Youmei has been in charge of human resources business over the years and is deeply trusted by Cao Yang.

So even though she is not well-known to the outside world, her influence is very large within Nanshan Group companies.

She has a strong say in the appointment of many company department-level personnel.

"Are there any competitions?"

Cao Yang immediately thought of some of the more popular competitions among colleges and universities.

"Challenge Cup", "Mathematics Competition", "Entrepreneurship Competition"...

There are really many various competitions.

It would be of great significance if Nanshan-based companies could combine their own development needs and organize several competitions that would affect universities across the country.

It is definitely very effective to at least make yourself famous among college students.

For example, the "Morning Star Cup" aircraft design competition, the "Nanshan Automobile" Cup energy-saving car competition, the "Nanshan Semiconductor Cup" chip design competition, the "Nanshan Robot Cup" robot design competition, etc., are completely worth doing well.

As for scholarships, for today's Nanshan companies, it is not a pressure.

After all, a scholarship of 10,000 yuan per person during college is basically a very high standard.

Even if 10,000 people receive this scholarship a year, it is only 100 million yuan.

It is obviously worthwhile to spend hundreds of millions of yuan to gain a good reputation and do some good things.

Thinking of this, Cao Yang agreed without hesitation and said: "You discuss with each company to see which competitions you want to hold."

"Since we are going to do it, we must do it well and make a name for ourselves."

"As for the scholarship, I will take a look after you make a plan."

Cao Yang definitely supports Liu Youmei's proposal.

Holding a competition can be regarded as a plan for selecting talents.

As for the scholarship, on the one hand, it is charity, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as accumulating reputation for Nanshan enterprises.

This kind of thing is naturally worth doing.

After talking to Liu Youmei about the competition and scholarship, Cao Yang went to the conference room under the leadership of Mi Ying to listen to the report from Nanshan Automobile Group.

"Mr. Cao, due to the increase in the number of automobile exports this year, the transportation cost of ro-ro ships has risen sharply."

"Wenchong Shipyard took the initiative to communicate with us and wanted to cooperate in the customized production of large ro-ro ships."

"At that time, both parties can jointly establish a transportation company to transport various export vehicles for domestic automobile companies."

Zeng Tingting talked to Cao Yang about automobile transportation today.

In China, automobile transportation is generally a combination of railways and automobiles.

No matter which method is used, the transportation cost is not particularly low.

The average transportation cost of a 100,000 yuan car is 3,000 to 4,000 yuan.

For luxury cars, it certainly doesn't matter.

But for economy cars, the reduction in transportation costs is very important.

If the vehicle is to be exported, it mainly relies on sea transportation.

Although the cycle is relatively long, the cost is relatively low.

The key is that in many places, even if you want land or rail transportation, there are no conditions.

In the past, Nanshan Automobile Group's transportation business was to cooperate with external companies, but now Zeng Tingting feels restricted and needs to intervene herself.

It just so happens that Wenchong Shipyard is also interested in producing ro-ro ships for transporting vehicles, and the production of such ships is not very difficult.

At least compared with LNG carriers, ro-ro ships are child's play.

Combined with the needs of Nanshan Automobile Group, if ro-ro ships are produced in a targeted manner, it will definitely maximize the transportation efficiency. For Nanshan Automobile Group, there is really no harm.

So Zeng Tingting planned for a while and specially arranged this report to Cao Yang.

"What are the characteristics of the ro-ro ships planned to be produced by Wenchong Shipyard?"

Cao Yang is not so concerned about logistics, but considering that if this thing fails, it is actually very troublesome.

So Zeng Tingting wants to do it herself, he will not object.

However, although Wenchong Shipyard has a lot of cooperation, they have never produced car ro-ro ships.

So whether it is necessary to cooperate in the production of this type of ship, or to directly find other shipyards to purchase, it is necessary to discuss.

"Their current plan is to produce the world's largest car transport ro-ro ship, which can transport 10,000 passenger cars at a time."

"Not to mention the needs of other domestic customers, our group's annual transportation needs alone require at least five ro-ro ships of this level to meet the needs."

"So I think this project can be done."

Zeng Tingting did various investigations in advance, so she could answer Cao Yang's questions quickly.
