For Weilai Group, 2007 can be said to be a year without any storms.

The company has not taken any major measures and actions, and everything seems to be sticking to its old ways and resting on its laurels.

Some people say that Weilai Group is holding back big moves, while others say that Weilai Group has entered a stage of insufficient innovation.

Jiang Yu laughed off these comments.

Weilai did not do anything in 2007. On the contrary, it did a lot, but they were all in areas that ordinary people were not involved in and did not care about.

These actions are mainly concentrated on the Internet.

Such as Internet video.

In early 2005, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued dozens of "Information Network Audiovisual Program Broadcasting Licenses" for Internet videos.

Most of these licenses are obtained by units under the radio and television system, and the number obtained by Internet companies is not large.

But Weilai Network has such a license.

Last year was known as the first year of development of China’s online video industry.

This year Youku, Kuliu, Tudou, 56, Exciting.com, etc. have all been launched online, and video websites have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

In 2006, the number of online video users in China reached 63 million, accounting for nearly 50% of China's Internet users.

The total online video revenue for the year was 500 million yuan.

These revenues are still mainly from advertising, accounting for nearly one-third.

Weilai invested hundreds of millions of yuan in the video network in 2007 to improve website performance, control vulgar content, and build genuine content.

The early days of video websites were destined to be extremely chaotic. There was no such thing as copyright, and they dared to broadcast any content, not to mention vulgar content, even those with restricted levels, which were not suitable for children, dared to blatantly broadcast them.

But Weilai Video Network does not have these things.

Although it affected a lot of traffic, it avoided the fate of being ordered to stop censorship by the national radio and television department.

Moreover, Weilai Video started the paid creation model in 2007.

For video works published on Weilai Video, corresponding royalties can be obtained based on the click rate, which was a pioneering work at the time.

Therefore, there are a large number of people who can create videos in Weilai Video, bringing a large number of high-quality original works.

Having a large number of high-quality original works will naturally attract a large amount of traffic.

Therefore, although Weilai Video does not have the traffic lost due to low-level works, the abundance of original works has brought new traffic.

With traffic, advertisements from manufacturers will naturally come in like a flood.

Of course, there is also the problem of piracy coming like a tide.

Other video websites want to take shortcuts and act as porters directly.

In this way, Weilai's legal department is also very busy all day long, fighting with this company and then fighting with that company.

Sometimes, before this lawsuit is over, the next one starts again.

In the last life, the legal department of a certain Antarctica company was very famous, known as Nanshan Pizza Hut.

But now, Jiang Yu has become the CEO of a group, and he understands how important a company's legal department is.

There are some things, such as infringement, that you really can't do without filing a lawsuit. If you don't file a lawsuit, people won't take it seriously at all, and they can only rely on filing a lawsuit to protect their legitimate rights and interests.

Litigation is inevitable as long as you are running a business. If you don't say goodbye to others, others may sue you. Whether it is the plaintiff or the person behind the scenes, they are destined to meet in court.

Weilai Auto has frequently been involved in lawsuits with small domestic car companies.

Even if it's not as big as 369 or small fights every day, I still go to court every now and then.

Today I said that Weilai copied its engine technology, and tomorrow I said that Weilai copied its gearbox technology.

Anyway, Weilai’s legal department is not idle.

We are engaged in litigation here and are engaged in production there, without any delay.

In the midst of this lawsuit, Weilai still launched a car, the Xia.

In addition, Weilai

No further action is taken.

Xia finally took over Yu's mantle.

The shape of the Yu is borrowed from the Porsche Cayenne released in 2010, and Weilai built a platform based on this car's shape.

Of course, you can’t build a car without using this platform, so Xia Yiran built it on this platform.

Of course, some changes have been made to the appearance, making it more atmospheric.

Divided into economy version and deluxe version.

An electric sunroof, trip computer display, reversing radar, etc. have been added.

1.6 There are two types of engines: self-priming and supercharged.

The self-priming power is 97k, the maximum power of the supercharged engine is 110k, and it can output a maximum torque of 210kw.

Manual and automated manual transmissions, absebd.

The price range is from 88,000 yuan to 115,000 yuan.

A decent mid-sized SUV for families.

The factory launched in September 2007 and sold 180,000 units by 2008, with an average sales volume of more than 40,000 units a month.

Before the end of the year, Weilai made another decision to relocate and divest.

While some companies are beginning to advocate diversified development, Weilai Group is constantly losing weight and will continue to lose weight in the future.

What Weilai is divesting this year is a chemical plant.

This time he did not transfer the chemical plant to any company in Jianshan Town, but to the cities and towns in the west of Donghe River.

The risk factor of chemical plants is too high. If this thing leaks, it will have a huge impact on people and the environment, even as much as nuclear pollution, which will last for decades.

Jiang Yu has long wanted to spin off Weilai Chemical, and even wanted to transfer it to.

The mayor of Jianshan District does not agree to divest the chemical factory and move it to other places. After all, there are many chemical raw materials supplied to companies in Jianshan District, all of which come from this factory.

This factory also generates billions of GDP a year.

This will seriously affect the district's output value.

Jiang Yu patiently persuaded me that money is not the main thing, safety and green mountains and clear waters are what people in Jianshan should think about and do now.

We will keep safe and clean companies here in the future and move out dirty and unsafe companies.

After a lot of talking, the chemical plant was finally transferred out. Weilai owns 28% of the shares of the chemical plant and is exclusively a shareholder to distribute the money.

Weilai will also transfer some industries in the future, and even start one of its major projects.

Weilai will be a high-tech company in the future, and some projects are being spun off step by step.

Some of the projects that have been divested have been completely divested, and there is no longer any connection between cash transactions and Weilai.

Some Weilai retain their shares and pay dividends.

Now, in addition to cars and electronics, Weilai also has a sportswear company.

If this project were to be spun off, I'm afraid no one would be able to take it on.

After all, Weilai Sports now has several billions of fixed assets, and coupled with the brand effect, it is really impossible to take over if it is not worth 18 billion.

The city will definitely not let a company that can create tens of billions of GDP leave.

But no matter what, from now on Weilai will focus on manufacturing cars and electronics, and all other companies that have nothing to do with these will be divested.
Chapter completed!
