Song Weiyang hurried back to Shenghai from Rongcheng to attend a ceremony.
Historically, the construction of Shenghai BYD Industrial Park did not start until 2003, and the address of the park is located in Songjiang. However, due to the strategic cooperation between BYD and Shenzhou Technology, a battery factory was built in Shenghai very early. Now Yangpu officials have attracted investment, established BYD Shenghai branch in advance, and built the industrial park close to Changyang Valley.
The leaders of Yangpu were very proud and directly changed the name of "Changyang Valley High-tech Park" to "Shenzhou Industrial Park" and expanded the area of the park to 600 mu. In the nearby area, a shopping center and several residential buildings were built in later generations, all of which are now approved to the China Science and Technology Company, and even the government took the initiative to relocate an old state-owned enterprise to make room for it.
At the same time, a large piece of land in the north of Changyang Valley has several residential areas, several companies and a hotel built in later generations, all of which are now approved for BYD to build an industrial park, with a total area of 500 mu.
The reason why it is so generous is because the factory area of China Science and Technology is not enough, and it plans to build a new factory area in the northern Jiangsu area. When Yangpu's leaders heard the news, they immediately came to persuade them to stay, and they approved all the surrounding land to China Science and Technology within minutes.
And why did the district leaders not wait to see BYD before, but now they take the initiative to throw out an olive branch and directly approve 500 mu of land?
Because BYD is awesome now!
That medium-sized company with sales of less than 100 million yuan has now grown into a super giant, accounting for 40% of the global nickel-cadmium battery market share. BYD has set up branches in Europe, the United States and Hong Kong City, and has become Motorola's lithium battery supplier, and Nokia is also preparing to use BYD's batteries.
BYD Company, like its chairman, perfectly interprets what it means to be a poor boy's counterattack.
Song Weiyang was holding a shovel with big red flowers in his hand, and beside him was Wang Chuanfu, the boss of BYD, and the top leaders in the district.
The master of ceremonies shouted that the auspicious time had come, and the three plunged their shovels into the soil. A pit was dug symbolically, and the workers carried the foundation stone into the pit, and the foundation stone laying ceremony of the industrial park completed the most important link.
After dozens of minutes of excitement, the media and reporters dispersed, and Wang Chuanfu invited Song Weiyang and the leaders to dinner again.
Until around one o'clock in the afternoon, the leaders were also sent away. Wang Chuanfu said with a smile: "We will be neighbors in the future. Thank you, Boss Song, for helping me."
"Mr. Wang is too polite. Our cooperation is a win-win situation. There is no question of who helps whom." Song Weiyang said.
The purchase of BYD batteries by PHS back then was the second large order BYD received since its establishment, and it was also a crucial order in the past few years. Now the cumulative sales volume of PHS has reached more than 6 million units, and each PHS uses BYD batteries, and the profits provided allow BYD to make a lot of money.
At this time, BYD is more powerful than at the same time in history, at least the funds in hand are much more sufficient.
Of course, these orders are only part of countless orders for BYD now. Thanks to the Asian financial turmoil, global battery prices plummeted by 20% to 40%. Japanese manufacturers are on the verge of losing money, but BYD's low-cost advantage has been brought into play. Philips, Panasonic, Sony, Motorola... have chosen to cooperate with BYD. Time to achieve the world's first nickel-chromium battery, and is impacting the lithium battery hegemony of Japanese companies (the world's fourth).
Wang Chuanfu said: "I still want to thank Boss Song. When PHS placed the order, it was the time when BYD was most confused. It is an exaggeration to say that saving lives, but it must be a timely help."
Song Weiyang smiled and said, "When will BYD launch computer motherboard batteries? Now China Computer uses foreign products, and motherboard batteries are dead expensive. We just wait for BYD to help us reduce costs."
"Technology research and development is in progress," Wang Chuanfu said. "Computer motherboard batteries are lithium compound batteries. BYD is currently focusing on lithium-ion batteries, and it will take some time to master related technologies."
"Then I wish BYD R&D success." Song Weiyang said.
Wang Chuanfu said: "Borrow Boss Song's auspicious words."
Song Weiyang suddenly said: "Mr. Wang, have you ever thought about producing cars?"
"Cars?" Wang Chuanfu laughed, "How dare I think about it. Cars need a production license. I am a poor kid from the countryside. I have no background and connections. How can I get a license plate?"
"I mean electric cars." Song Weiyang said.
Wang Chuanfu was stunned: "With the current battery technology, I am afraid it is not enough to provide enough power."
Song Weiyang said: "Of course one battery won't work, but thousands of batteries can be combined. With an intelligent system, even if some batteries are broken, the car can continue to drive."
"That's a good idea." Wang Chuanfu nodded.
In fact, GM has been working on electric vehicles for a long time, and it has been put on the market, with a range of 140 kilometers. It's just that Song Weiyang and Wang Chuanfu don't understand cars, have never heard of this news, and think that electric cars are groundbreaking.
Song Weiyang said: "If Mr. Wang is interested, we can partner to open a car factory. It doesn't need to be too big, just spend money for fun. I have already thought about the brand name of the car. The inventor of alternating current, Nico Named after La Tesla, it's called 'Tesla'!"
Wang Chuanfu really believed in it, thought about it carefully, and asked, "How much does Boss Song plan to invest?"
"Small trouble, one person invests 2 million yuan. You are responsible for the research and development of battery technology, and I am responsible for running the electric vehicle license plate," Song Weiyang said, "and then bring in Geely Automobile's President Li, let him also invest 2 million yuan, and be responsible for the electric vehicle license plate." Building cars. We divide the shares equally, and each company holds 30% of the shares. Then recruit an automotive engineer to take charge of the project, and give the remaining 10% of the shares to this engineer.”
"Are you telling the truth or not? Why do I sound like I'm just playing around?" Wang Chuanfu is a serious person and cannot run a business with a cynical attitude.
Song Weiyang asked: "Are you short of the 2 million?"
Wang Chuanfu shook his head and said, "There is no shortage."
"That's fine. It doesn't matter if the project fails," Song Weiyang said with a smile. "If the project succeeds, he might be able to overtake other cars in a corner and occupy a place in the world's automobile manufacturing field."
"Well..." Wang Chuanfu hesitated.
Song Weiyang urged: "Give it a go, a bicycle can become a motorcycle."
Wang Chuanfu was amused: "Well, I will play with you once."
Song Weiyang said: "By the way, Mr. Wang, are you interested in joining the Jinniu Club?"
"What would Taurus be?" Wang Chuanfu was obviously ignorant.
Song Weiyang explained the specific situation, and Wang Chuanfu immediately agreed.
This year's Jinniu Club will absorb two new members, one is Wang Chuanfu, and the other is Fan Jianchuan who met on the plane. Fan Jianchuan is a special case. Apart from this person, Taurus will probably not recruit any more real estate developers.
