I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle - Chapter 797
“I’m about to lose money into a Muggle ( Find the latest chapter!
On March 1, 2017, Fenghuang Finance’s presidential dialogue invited Li Ding, president of Rongche.com, founder and chairman of Future Auto.
This entrepreneurial veteran driver founded Rongche in 2000. After 2010, he led Rongche to go public in the United States. Rongche became China’s first overseas automotive Internet company.
At the end of 2014, Li Ding decided to go on the road again because he took a photo with extremely severe smog on his balcony, and set up the car of the future, positioning the international smart car company, and benchmarking Migo’s Rust.
Last year, the Future Car, which had not held a conference, finally held its first conference in London.
At the press conference, Weilai Automobile released 6 pure electric super sports cars with a power of 1,360 horses, which are benchmarked against veteran supercars such as Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918.
Suddenly, Li Ting became a man of the world.
This year’s presidential dialogue program specially invited this sweet pastry from the capital market.
At the beginning, I mainly talked about Li Ding’s entrepreneurial struggle, and some problems with business philosophy.
Later, the host couldn’t help but ask the cat factory.
“Actually, I have been in contact with the cat factory very early.” Li Ding didn’t mind getting a little bit of the cat factory’s heat.
Moreover, talking about the cat factory in his personal interviews will only make people think that he is broad-minded.
“What kind of contact is it?” The beautiful host suddenly became interested.
“About the beginning of last year, I met Mr. Pei Qianlong, vice president of group strategy at Cat Factory…” Li Ding said.
He didn’t pay much attention to Pei Qianlong back then.
Only a year of work~
“I heard that Mr. Pei is very young.” The hostess beamed her eyes.
“Yes, I was in my early thirties. At that time, I was talking about bicycle sharing business, which left a deep impression on me. Haha, it was very difficult.” Li Ding said with a smile.
“Difficult? Why do you use difficult to describe him?” They always wanted to be an interview with the owner of the cat factory.
However, this is almost impossible to achieve.
No one will expose the identity of the cat factory owner.
The last thing you don’t want to burst is the cat factory’s competitors. Think about it. A boss who doesn’t work properly has done this in his career. In case he can’t act and concentrate on his career—it’s simply a game. disaster.
Whoever dared to reveal the true identity of this product, we are in a hurry.
“Let’s borrow a friend’s evaluation of Mr. Pei. Everyone says he is so intelligent and close to monsters.” Li Ding said.
“This is what Zhuge Liang said.”
“Yes, it is not unreasonable. Looking at the development of the cat factory, President Pei absolutely played an important and key role.” Li Ding admired and jealous.
He wasn’t jealous that Father Pei was smarter than him.
But I am jealous of Boss Lin, why can’t such a person be used by him.
He also didn’t understand why such a person didn’t start his own business, but had to help others to fight for it.
Don’t worry about funding.
As long as Pei Qianlong decides to start a business here, he shouts that I want to raise funds. It is estimated that a lot of capital will come over and hold the money to wait for his luck.
“Then Vice President Chen Xiaoman, she seems to be the person in charge of the new energy vehicle project of Maochang. What do you think is the advantage of the new energy vehicle of Maochang, and what should be paid attention to?” The host can’t always gossip Pei Qianlong .
As a woman, she naturally hopes that the topic will focus on female executives of the cat factory like Chen Xiaoman or Shi Shanshan.
Moreover, Chen Xiaoman and Li Ding are both in the new energy automobile industry.
It fits better with the topic of today’s interview.
“Mr. Chen’s position at Cat Factory seems to be the executive vice president, in charge of internal affairs. However, she has recently begun to take over the project. Meow Car is the first big project she accepted. I don’t have much contact with her, but Cat Factory New Energy I have met Liu Xia, the director of the automotive project, and he is considered a veteran in the industry.”
“It seems that the cat factory is indeed full of talents.” The host nodded.
“Yes, but for the current cat factory, I think their biggest advantage is the technology. It is hard to imagine how long the cat factory has been preparing for this area, and they have acquired two new energy vehicle giants at the beginning. Its technology is a bit ahead of Miguo’s Last, which is unmatched in China.” Li Ding is very open.
To belittle your opponent will only make you more embarrassed and raise your opponent. If you lose, it will be more natural and can be forgiven.
“Our future car…” the host asked.
“The car in the future will not be comparable. There is a certain gap. We still need to work hard. We are currently seeking to place orders from the battery factory of the cat factory.” Li Ding said with a wry smile.
Take the ES8 model they plan to launch this year.
ES8 is a full-size 7-seater SUV, high-power electric four-wheel drive, air suspension, which is a configuration for family outings or self-driving trips.
In terms of power, it is equipped with front and rear dual motors and a four-wheel drive system. The maximum output power reaches 650 horsepower, the comprehensive peak torque is 840 Nm, the acceleration from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers is only 4.4 seconds, and it is matched with a set of 70kWh liquid-cooled constant temperature battery pack.
These are not important to ordinary people.
The key is that the maximum cruising range is more than 500 kilometers under the constant speed working condition of 60 kilometers per hour, and the cruising range of the comprehensive working condition is 355 kilometers.
It’s a lot worse than the cat factory.
According to the actual measurement of Future Car ~ www.mtlnovel.com~ in the 120kmh constant speed cruising range test, the cruising range of ES8 is 226 kilometers.
If it is a family with luggage and full of people, it will not even reach 200 kilometers.
It is far from the claimed 355 kilometers.
Really the heart of high-end SUVs, the life of scooter in the city.
Under the same conditions, the cat factory is said to be able to reach more than 400 kilometers safely-if it is not bragging, this gap will not be able to catch up with the exhausted car in the future.
The 80% power that the cat factory can reach in 30 minutes will require at least one hour for future cars, and three to four hours for slow charging.
Another embarrassing gap.
This is actually nothing.
Even more embarrassing is the price. The first batch of ES8 “Founding Edition” models are priced at 548,000 yuan. They will be purchased in the capital according to the 2017 subsidy standard, requiring 475,400 yuan. They are mainly for future car-related founders and “friends”. 10,000 vehicles have been put on sale and have already been booked.
The benchmark version of the ES8 model is priced at 448,000 yuan, and it needs 375,400 yuan to buy in the capital according to the 2017 subsidy standard.
The cat factory’s SUV is 300,000 yuan, the price before the subsidy.
Lower prices, longer battery life and charging speeds have made the future cars fall into unprecedented distress not long ago.
Those 10,000 of the founding version are okay, they are all friends or investors.
They will not unsubscribe anyway.
But these customers who booked the benchmark version started an unsubscription frenzy.
About 17% of customers chose to unsubscribe.
Future cars temporarily announced a price reduction to stabilize the remaining customers.
Li Ting can’t help but be honest about the gap between each other, otherwise, he sitting here will definitely be treated like a clown.
