At this Shanghai Auto Show, the national new energy vehicle promotion department also came to communicate with people from Weilai Group.

A minister named Chen had a conversation with Jiang Yu.

"Minister Chen! Weilai wants to launch an electric car in July. See if you can give us a special approval. Just one model will do."

"But the road test hasn't been completed yet."

"Although the road test of the national testing department is still in progress, isn't the high-speed road test report we made ourselves included? We have conducted road tests for three million kilometers, and there is no fraud. You can definitely use it as a reference.

.”

"We are going to go back and study this and try to give you an answer as quickly as possible, but how are you going to solve the charging problem?"

"For the time being, we can only rely on buyers to charge at home, but we will soon discuss with the State Grid about building charging stations. We have the technology now, and this requires state support to be implemented."

If the state does not support it, Weilai will definitely not be able to install charging stations in the country. This is not a matter of money.

"We will try to discuss this this year and come up with a plan, and then start implementing it."

"Minister Chen! If we want to make large-scale new energy vehicles, we can't do it alone."

"Oh! What do you think Mr. Jiang has to say?"

"Although our country is now the world's largest market, it is unrealistic for us alone to bring new energy vehicles into the mainstream. The Western world market will not follow our footsteps."

"That's what Mr. Yijiang means..."

"If we can bring the United States in, then this matter will be much easier to handle. With the help of the world's largest and second largest markets, other markets will naturally follow up. From a pessimistic perspective, they will not follow up. There are

In these two markets, it is only a matter of time before new energy vehicles become mainstream."

"Can the U.S. market agree?"

"The American market also hates Xiaomi cars, and I think they would also be happy to see the result of knocking Xiaoni cars to the ground."

"Then how to achieve this goal?"

"There is an electric car company in the United States called Tesla. They just made a pure electric car last year. We can bring it here and let it open up their electric car patents. If it can do

As the market rises, the U.S. market will naturally change its mind. With the support of the first and second markets, electric new energy vehicles will become the mainstream of the future market."

When talking about patents, Minister Chen smiled bitterly: "Don't mention patents. I get a headache when I mention patents. They will definitely not open it up."

The year before last and the year before last, the country had negotiated patent openings with foreign car companies, but in the end it was a failure.

"It can be exchanged. We give it a market and they open up the technology."

"Is this path still feasible? We have been doing this since the 1980s, but now you have seen the results. None of the domestic car companies can support the wall. They are not as good as those private companies.

"

"If you let Tesla set up a wholly-owned factory in China and open up the market, Tesla will definitely be happy, no matter what."

Minister Chen frowned and thought for a while: "What you said seems to make sense, but doing this may not be a good thing for you."

"Doesn't this create competition? Otherwise, do you think these domestic car companies take new energy vehicles seriously? There has to be someone to disrupt the situation. Tesla is very suitable to be this catfish. If they disrupt it,

Together, the attitude of domestic car companies will definitely change."

Minister Chen nodded: "That's true, but it will have a great impact on your future."

"We don't care. The domestic market is big enough, but we can't occupy it all by ourselves. That would make people jealous. If you have money, everyone can make it. The main thing is that electric new energy vehicles have become the mainstream of the future market. We can grab foreign ones."

Market!」

"Mr. Jiang! Your suggestions are very valuable. I will report them to my superiors when I get back."

"Minister Chen! Actually, I didn't say anything. It's all your idea."

Minister Chen laughed.

Minister Chen is really reliable. One month after the auto show, Weilai received a formal production license for new energy vehicles, but only the smallest A-class car.

No matter what kind of car it is, as long as it can be produced.

Everything for Weilai has been prepared for a long time. Now that we have the production license, we can start production immediately.

This A-class car belongs to the Ocean series, and its name is Penguin.

Weilai officially started production here, and advertising began overwhelming there.

From Weilai's own website to CCTV, hundreds of millions of dollars of funds were poured into it.

Jiangyu has no intention of earning back the money. Even if he is a reborn person, he cannot estimate what achievements electric cars will achieve in 2009.

Overall, I don't think it's much better.

But no matter whether it is good or not, there is still a road to be walked.

Weilai Auto started production without any confidence, while Weilai Phone was just the opposite, with too much confidence.

By June 2009, shipments of Weilai's second-generation smartphones, which had been on the market for a full year, had reached 80 million units, with sales of more than 70 million units.

Among them, Weilai General Factory produced 30 million units, Bohai Electronics produced 20 million units, and the two branches in the south each produced 15 million units.

Domestic sales of 37 million units, domestic sales of 33 million units.

Last year, mobile phone sales were not so hot, but after the new year, the sales of smartphones have been rising.

The two southern branches originally had a production capacity of only 10 million units, but now have achieved results of more than 5 million units.

These two branches are also expanding their production capacity and will reach a production capacity of 20 million units by the end of the year.

On the other hand, looking at foreign smartphones, except for Weilai, the number of mobile phones produced and sold by all other smartphone companies combined is less than half of the number of Weilai phones.

Jiang Yu frowned when he saw this data.

According to this trend, foreign countries may really impose sanctions.

The trick in which Warwick was sanctioned in the last generation may be played out in China ten years in advance.

Now we can only hope that China and the United States have not started to face each other coldly, and can still deal with it for a few years.

However, Jiang Yu was already preparing for the worst. He asked about the situation of Weilai Electronics' semiconductor department.

The semiconductor department secretly established by Weilai told Jiang Yu that in terms of lithography machines, their deep ultraviolet lithography machines are fully mature and the theoretical limit is that they can produce 7-nanometer chips.

However, Weilai's wafer fab can now mass-produce 90-nanometer chips and produce 40-nanometer chips in small quantities.

Twenty-eight-nanometer chips can be designed now but cannot be mass-produced yet. It may take another two years to produce them.

Jiang Yu let out a big sigh of relief.

Without the shackles of chips, how can the West use sanctions?
Chapter completed!
