"Boss Dong, I'm sorry. I was delayed by something just now."
After finishing the housework, Li Zehua turned around and walked in to greet Dong Chaogui.
"There's nothing."
"Sit down, everyone, what are you talking about?"
Seeing everyone standing up, he stretched out his hand to calm them down, walked to the head of the conference table and sat down. The assistant in charge of taking notes handed him the meeting text.
After a quick glance, he nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Dong, thank you so much for your kindness. We have just started our business and have no experience at all!
It’s all thanks to you, President Dong, who has been taking care of me. Speaking of which, when we established the group company last time, Yadi helped us in a timely manner. I haven’t thanked you in person for this.”
“I don’t deserve it, but this is what we should do. Providing the best service to customers is our tradition.
Not to mention that Mr. Li, you are taking care of our business so much. Our two families have long been comrades-in-arms eating from the same pot. There is no need to take the previous things to heart.
If you have any requests in the future, just ask. As long as Yadi can do it, we will never refuse.”
Dong Chaogui's words were heartfelt. To date, Hummingbird has begun to realize its potential.
The two sides started with an initial order of 500 electric vehicles, which increased to 3,000 in June, and now to the first phase of an order of 10,000 vehicles nationwide.
ChiMi has become BYD's largest terminal customer nationwide, and is painting BYD's electric vehicles in uniform yellow and orange decorations.
Following the yellow-robed gods of war, running through the streets and alleys of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, this is the dream result for any company.
"Mr. Dong is too polite. In that case, I can now say what I want to say."
Li Zehua closed the text with a smile and said, "I just read this battery replacement plan carefully and have some ideas of my own. I wonder if Mr. Dong is interested in listening to them.
Of course, these are just my immature thoughts, and I just want to share them with you for fun.”
"Please feel free to speak up, Mr. Li. As long as you say it, we at Yadi will do it as your instruction."
The more careless he was, the more serious everyone on Dong Chaogui's side took him.
Even those who were originally flipping through materials and taking notes stopped, held their heads high, and looked straight ahead.
We cannot ignore this!
The third phase of the cooperation plan involves the purchase of 60,000 electric vehicles, plus an additional 30,000 batteries and more than 2,000 so-called special charging devices.
The price of an extra battery for a car has been negotiated from 1800 yuan to 1680 yuan, and sets will cost more than million yuan.
Add to that 30,000 electric vehicles without extra batteries, charging devices, and 10,000 express delivery vehicles with extra batteries, and the total contract value exceeds 100 million yuan.
This kind of order makes everyone at BYD smile with joy. It is not only a victory in terms of orders, but also a victory for BYD’s publicity!
Think about it, ordinary people buy electric vehicles just for commuting to work, and they can't drive many kilometers a day.
And what about the Hummingbird salesperson?
Running around in the market all day long, with a uniform decorative appearance and the conspicuous two big words "YADDI", what a great advertisement!
It is the best interpretation of brand exposure and brand value.
Luo Yuanming next to him has already thought about it. In the second half of the year, the sales talk of the front-line sales will have to be changed accordingly. Is it still necessary to brag about the quality of an electric vehicle that can run for more than ten hours a day?
The quality is there, backed by well-known large companies, and will convince consumers in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in minutes!
But what Li Zehua said next left everyone present stunned.
I just heard him cough, as if he was talking about a very ordinary little thing.
“Mr. Dong, I would like to ask, what does BYD think about the national electric vehicle market in the second half of the year, especially the rural market?
Mr. Ning Tao, the general manager of your company, has provided a detailed document before, but the data in it does not seem very good.
But I personally have an immature opinion. Is it possible for our two companies to have an in-depth cooperation in the rural market?
For example, how about getting 100,000 electric vehicles and letting Qingyun deploy them in rural areas to test the waters first?"
"puff."
The two sides had already discussed the cooperation for more than an hour. Dong Chaogui, who was drinking tea, couldn't hold back and swore that he definitely didn't mean it!
Not only was he shocked, he also turned in a different direction so that not a drop of tea splashed on Li Zehua.
Luo Yuanming, the only one who was hurt, looked aggrieved. He took the tissue from Ning Tao who was trying not to laugh and wiped his face, "Boss Dong, you~"
There are a lot of people in the conference room. Everyone is professional and generally doesn't laugh unless they can't help it.
"Pfft, haha~"
For a moment, the conference room became a sea of joy and kind smiles.
"Feel sorry."
Dong Chaogui said perfunctorily and quickly turned to look at Li Zehua, staring at him with eyes sparking with excitement.
"Mr. Li, are you serious?!"
I was afraid I had heard it wrong, one hundred thousand vehicles? !
Li Zehua took the teacup and took a sip calmly. It was a little hot as it was freshly brewed, so he blew on it.
Dong Chaogui wanted to pounce on him, grab him by the collar and yell at him, "Hurry up and speak!"
Brother, if you keep saying half of what you want to say like this, leaving people in suspense will kill them!
Fortunately, Li Zehua is not a person who procrastinates. "Is this kind of thing something you can joke about?"
"Tell me details."
Seeing that he was looking for something again, Dong Chaogui couldn't wait any longer and took out a cigarette box and handed it to him to light up. "Tell us in detail, we are very interested!"
Are you kidding? One hundred thousand electric vehicles?
Even if we calculate the bare car price based on supply, there are still orders worth hundreds of millions. For manufacturing companies, the rise in raw material prices is not a key issue.
The problem is that there are stable orders!
Li Zehua blew out a smoke ring comfortably. "One hundred thousand vehicles, it is estimated to be just an appetizer. Let's not talk about this for now, let's take a look at the supporting services of this charging device."
This time, let alone Dong Chaogui, everyone in the conference room wanted to rush over and beat him up.
It's so hateful. Is it really that suspenseful?
However, half of the people present depend on him for their salary, while the other half make a living by watching him give orders.
No one has taken any action, they are just thinking about it at most.
"What kind of statement is this?"
After all, Dong Chaogui had experienced many ups and downs, so he quickly calmed down and asked while suppressing his excitement.
Li Zehua got straight to the point this time, "Boss Dong, I won't hide it from you. The company will have big moves coming up. As it's a commercial secret, I can't go into too much detail.
But I can guarantee one thing, the company will first arrange to expand into the entire south and the surrounding areas of Yanjing.
Just for the front-line promotion, the sales staff is expected to recruit 50,000 people as a base. With this alone, it is no problem to get 50,000 electric vehicles."
"Fifty thousand people?"
Dong Chaogui was stunned, Luo Yuanming was dumbfounded, and Ning Tao was dumbfounded!
Only those under Qingyun Asset Management are not surprised and have become accustomed to it. With such a boss around, it is impossible not to make some trouble.
Only Gu Shijie felt the critical hit, what about 50,000 people?
Didn’t we agree to expand more than a dozen branches in the second half of the year and proceed as planned?
How could he know that the Pinxixi group buying was disrupted by Chengdu Jinling, and had the strong support of the Shanghai government.
I also had an in-depth conversation with Li Jiapo's current deputy assistant for an hour, and learned from him the real reason why Li Jiapo invested in Chimo Fengniao.
Influence!
presence!
The investment philosophy it practices perfectly fits Li Zehua’s purpose in establishing Qingyun Group.
What’s the point of simply playing with capital operations?
Even if he doesn't start a business, he can make tens of millions in the stock market and slowly develop over a decade. With so many high-quality projects, he can always catch a few big fish by spending money on the angel round.
So what if you don’t understand finance and the stock market?
He took out a loan to buy another house, and with his talent, intelligence, and his generous personality of sharing the cake, he could make a fortune by madly testing the margins.
Even though no venture capital came to him, he dared to ignore the huge losses and built up a scale of 4,000 people!
Now we have 200 million US dollars as a foundation, which is equivalent to eating leopard courage every meal, which is extremely bold.
We are no longer satisfied with small-scale operations. If we want to have fun, we have to have big things. How can the village and town planning be a joke?
There is a lack of management talent, and with so many retired soldiers from platoons, companies and battalions, all we have to do is set the rules and relevant departments in various places are willing to cooperate.
If we do it on a grand scale, we have to make some noise!
Thinking of this, Li Zehua spoke slowly, "This is just the first step. Fifty thousand people and one hundred thousand vehicles will go deep into rural areas across the country. There will be a second step and a third step next.
A mere 100,000 electric bikes are nothing!
If there weren't millions of sales behind you, I wouldn't even bother to say hello to you.
How about it? !
Mr. Dong, can your battery engine factory keep up with the development? "
Dong Chaogui was completely confused. He really wanted to ask: Who is the CEO of BYD?
If someone doesn’t know, they would think you are the one. You might as well do it yourself. I have never seen anyone like you!
that's nice!
perfect!
Is there any customer more considerate than this?
Not only do they buy for themselves, but they also try every means to expand the market. It would be unreasonable if they don't share some of the shares.
After a while of random thoughts in his mind, it took him a long time to react. He saw that everyone in the venue was staring at him with strange eyes.
Even Dong Chaogui couldn't help blushing, "I'm sorry, I was really shocked by Mr. Li's grand blueprint." He said to Li Zehua very seriously, "Mr. Li, I was born in a military family, and I will never beat around the bush or flatter in my life.
Just tell me, how can Yadi cooperate with Qingyun to achieve strategic cooperation! "
"Simple!"
Li Zehua put out his cigarette butt and said, "The battery engine factory will form a joint venture and fully cooperate with the battery replacement plan. Together, we will make BYD the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturer!"
Dong Chaogui subconsciously ignored the tram he mentioned, and after careful consideration, he nodded and said, "No problem!"
It's just a BYD battery engine manufacturing plant, with an annual output value of several hundred million at most. It takes a lot of effort to earn some hard-earned money, and a few percentage points of net profit. Who would be interested in that?
Where is Li Zehua?
After this venture capital investment, his nominal net worth is several hundred million US dollars, his company has tens of thousands of employees, and he is engaged in the high-end Internet industry.
Can you fool him without any problem?
It's done!
Li Zehua was very satisfied with his attitude and continued, "Actually, the battery vehicle purchase contract is secondary this time.
This battery replacement plan is the top priority!
As we all know, current battery technology is not very advanced in terms of capacity or charging time.
Taking the Guanneng 3 purchased by Chizumo as an example, it takes at least hours to fully charge, and theoretically it can only run kilometers.
It simply cannot meet the market demand of the food delivery industry. The complaints from people below are too loud, and more than once someone has suggested replacing the truck with a gasoline truck.
With a tank of gas, it can travel hundreds of kilometers at a fast speed. Even if some cities ban motorcycles, there is no need to worry, because Hummingbird provides so many jobs.
Even if first-tier cities cannot make concessions, many second-, third-, and fourth-tier cities will turn a blind eye to it for the sake of tax revenue and employment. This will save a lot of costs and improve efficiency.”
Dong Chaogui's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't say anything.
He continued, "Even if we don't use gasoline cars, there are other voices. Currently, BYD is not the only company in the electric car market.
There are also companies such as Emma, etc., some of the electric vehicles they produce are better than the Guanneng series in terms of speed, battery capacity, charging time and cruising range.
The only thing about Guanneng is its low price, but with such a large order volume, we can definitely negotiate to a level that satisfies the company.
Even if it costs a little more money, it doesn’t matter. If frontline employees can run more orders, it’s better than anything else.”
This typical rhythm of first depression and then rise is understood by everyone present.
Especially the management of BYD often says this to dealers and subordinates.
Don’t be fooled by the old routine, it works!
But even if they understand it, what’s the use?
The resources are completely unequal. The initiative and the market are in Li Zehua's hands, and they can only passively accept it.
reject?
You have to be crazy to refuse!
Dong Chaogui even nodded in agreement, "This is all thanks to you, Mr. Li."
"No, it's about supporting each other and helping each other."
Li Zehua glanced around and stopped his gaze on Ning Tao, "I still remember that day when it rained heavily and we couldn't deliver the food because of the overwhelming orders.
It was President Ning who was the first to jump off the truck and help the company overcome the fatal difficulties.
These are 80 gifts from Dong Zong, 800 life-saving electric vehicles. I will always remember this kindness in my heart."
Ning Tao's heart was in turmoil when he heard this, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
What an honor this is! He is even happier than if the chairman praised him.
Luo Yuanming next to him pursed his lips, envious to the point of going crazy. If he had known this day would come, he would never have let Ning Tao come over to deliver the car.
Sometimes people's fate is so unreasonable. In the early stages of his career, Li Zehua met Ning Tao, who took care of him and helped him get 500 electric vehicles on installment plans.
Although the preferential policies are strong, they are all within the normal sales range of the enterprise and cannot be considered as much preferential treatment.
But the two key clearances made Li Zehua feel a sense of gratitude. If he were an ordinary person, it would be the same.
But he is not. Not only is he now a billionaire boss, he is also the most important number one customer of BYD Company.
Behind the scenes, there is the fact that he is a time traveler with eyes that can see through the future.
Ning Tao is undoubtedly lucky.
Just with this one glance, Dong Chaogui has raised his importance in his heart to a higher level. It seems that this kid is highly valued by Mr. Li, and he cannot be allowed to be abducted.
I'll make arrangements when I get back, and let him come when he connects with the hummingbird.
As for the position, in sales, we have Luo Yuanming, an old comrade of mine who has followed us for more than ten years, so there is nothing we can do for now.
However, as the chairman of the company and the absolute controlling shareholder, there is nothing wrong in setting up a large account department and assigning Ning Tao to be the general manager.
If the cooperation goes well after a while, he can even be promoted to the position of vice president of the group and join the board of directors.
Ning Tao must not get away!
"Mr. Li, you're welcome. That's what we should do."
Dong Chaogui laughed heartily, "Please rest assured, we at Yadi will never treat real talents unfairly.
Mr. Li really has a keen eye for talent, and it just so happened that the company held a meeting some time ago and decided to assign him a more important position.”
As soon as these words came out, the BYD executives looked at Ning Tao with a strange look in their eyes.
Damn, in one word, I might be promoted to a key position when I go back, I am so lucky.
But who made them have no such fate?
Who would have thought that in just two or three months, the hummingbird would grow into a behemoth that even the group could not match.
Before Ning Tao could take the opportunity to express his loyalty, he heard Li Zehua continue, "We'll talk about this later.
Let’s get back to the battery replacement plan.
Dong Zong may not understand why I attach so much importance to this.
This is what I just said. At this stage, the products on the market do not meet the company's development needs, but the country is developing and society is progressing.
Various places have introduced increasingly stringent control measures and policies, and motorcycle restrictions in cities will inevitably become the norm in the future.
It’s difficult for us to run a business!
Not only do they have to consider the food for their employees, but they also have to face various policy and regulatory restrictions. Let’s start with motorcycles…
It is precisely because of the comprehensive consideration of energy security, environmental protection and other aspects that electric vehicles are a mainstream direction of future development. "
Dong Chaogui admired him very much, "Mr. Li's considerations are very comprehensive, which can be regarded as solving my puzzlement. The motorcycle market has been sluggish in recent years.
It also shows that electric vehicles have a bright future. I would like to state here that BYD is ready to carry out in-depth cooperation with Mr. Li at any time.
As for the battery engine manufacturing plant, I will personally make the decision to exchange the market for shares, as long as we can reach the market scale that Mr. Li mentioned.
Even if it's only half or 20% of the shares, I would give it willingly!
Even if it's shares of the Yadi Group, as long as Mr. Li likes it, I won't say no."
Dong Chaogui is very serious in his work and life.
Just based on what Li Zehua said, if BYD keeps working hard, it is almost certain that it will become the world's number one electric vehicle manufacturer and seller.
If you catch this opportunity and chase after the food, even pigs can fly!
“There is no rush regarding the shares. Based on what I said today, we can draft an agreement. Qingyun Asset Management also has a Qingyun Investment under its umbrella.
If Mr. Dong is willing, I plan to invest an additional sum of money to buy shares in BYD, the battery engine, and BYD will be responsible for production and operation, while Qingyun will be responsible for technology research and development. How do you think we can grow bigger and stronger together? "
Dong Chaogui knew very well that the other party was hiding something and had not revealed many key business plans and secrets.
What you want to prevent is that after listening to him, you will leave him and go it alone. This is very common in business negotiations and is understandable.
Now it depends on whether he is willing to accept it.
Do you still need to consider it?
Without thinking for too long, Dong Chaogui nodded seriously, "Sign now, Lao Luo, and ask the company to send the relevant information immediately.
The Legal Department came to check and signed it on the spot!"
This negotiation involved a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and legal representatives from both sides were present.
Following Dong Chaogui's order, BYD immediately took action, and everyone in Qingyun also cooperated.
While everyone was busy, Dong Chaogui stood up and shook hands with Li Zehua.
"Boss Li, after you sign, you have to explain it to me. I'm really feeling uncomfortable!" (End of this chapter)
