Chen Ya wants to take leave?
Zhou Xiao was a little depressed.
The Spring Festival has just ended. Except for the Life Science Laboratory, most people in the Origin Group have had a happy Spring Festival, so why do you have to ask for leave again?
The joint laboratory has restrained the strength of the top experimental team of Origin Group. Zhou Xiao is now the time to employ people and is the time when he is short of people. Chen Ya asks for leave again, and Zhou Xiao is really troubled.
There are not many people in Origin Group, but there are many work contents.
In addition to daily work, there are currently three important tasks in the hands of Origin Group.
One is to continue research on DNA storage technology, the other is to study green schizophrenia and heteromorphic digestive bacteria, and the remaining one is what Zhou Xiao wants to do now - investing or acquiring a car company.
The United Laboratory spends money very well, and Zhou Xiao also needs to make more money while completing the task.
The electronics consumer industry is counted as one, and the energy industry is counted as one.
If you want to enter the energy industry, you must plan ahead of schedule the most profitable area in the energy industry - new energy vehicles.
Can beautiful sparks be produced between high-density energy blocks and ionizing bacteria batteries?
Zhou Xiao is full of confidence in this.
To complete this project, Zhou Xiao is preparing to launch Chen Ya, who has rich management experience.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Then go home and rest for two days." Zhou Xiao said.
Chen Ya: "I'm not feeling well."
Zhou Xiao: "Is there something urgent at home?"
Chen Ya's words made Zhou Xiao unable to refute: "My mother urged me to get married and asked me to go home for a blind date."
Zhou Xiao: "Dating a blind date? How big are you? How close are you?"
"27, 28 soon!" Chen Ya counted her fingers and said, "At the age of 28, she is already considered a big girl in the blind date market. If it is a product, it is a cake that is about to expire or a dress that changes seasons immediately, and it needs to be discounted."
Wang Yulan kept covering her mouth and laughing. Of course she knew what Chen Ya was thinking. She said these words just to inspire Zhou Xiao.
But I knew that Zhou Xiao was also an old fried dough stick and didn't eat this set at all. "Our Anyang products are so good. If you don't talk about your age, I thought you were just eighteen."
Zhou Xiao said, "I'm not sure about this fake. If your mother asks you to go on a blind date, you will spend money on her. She said you give her 10,000 at a time, and said you give her 100,000 at ten times, so that she won't always urge her."
Xiaowen, an assistant who came in to pour water for Zhou Xiao, heard this and joked: "Mr. Zhou, my mother also urged me."
The working atmosphere in the office has always been relatively harmonious, and everyone often jokes regardless of their position.
Zhou Xiao said to Xiaowen: "Wenzi, I think your mother is right. You should go back for a blind date and find someone to take care of you."
Xiaowen quickly stuck out her tongue and slipped out.
Chen Ya curled her lips and said, "I'll take leave, you can deduct my bonus."
Zhou Xiao looked through the information collected by Chen Ya and became more and more satisfied. Chen Ya is worthy of being the old man in the company. He has basically figured out the information in the automotive industry, and such talents cannot go back for vacation.
Zhou Xiao said casually: "You can't even take maternity leave."
"Puff!" Wang Yulan couldn't help but hear that you two were fighting like this.
Chen Ya also continued, "That's someone who needs to make me pregnant first!"
Zhou Xiao: "The next research topic in the Life Sciences and Medical Laboratory should be to study human asexual reproduction."
"Sister Lan!" Chen Ye couldn't say anything about Zhou Xiao and asked for help with a sad face.
Wang Yulan spread her hands and said she was powerless.
Chen Ya's request for leave must have been ruined.
Even though they were joking, the three of them still talked about the serious matters.
From Chen Ya's report, Zhou Xiao roughly understood the current situation of Xia Guo's auto companies.
Xiaguo's automobile industry has been developing for more than 30 years, with foreign-funded enterprises coming and going, and domestic brands are ups and downs, which are very tragic.
If you only look at the brand and do not distinguish the company where the brand is located, in the field of civil passenger cars, BBA still occupies the three giants in the Xiaguo luxury car field. In the field of non-luxury cars, Volkswagen and Toyota are far ahead, followed by Japanese Honda and Nissan and the United States Buick.
Among the joint venture brands, the former glorious Xuefulai, Hyundai, Kia and others struggled between life and death, while Peugeot and Citroen were basically dead, and Suzuki's body could not be found.
Xiaguo domestic car brands have performed well in recent years. Geely, Changan and Harvo Automobile can rank among the top ten in sales, but there is a big gap between profits and the top five car companies that send out.
Except for Geely, Chang'an and Harvo, other brands in Xiaguo's auto companies are either on the verge of life and death or go bankrupt.
The most typical one is Possey. It was sought after by many Chinese people because of its appearance resembled Porsche. Unfortunately, this was an era of voting with its feet. Possey went bankrupt because of its unqualified technology.
It is worth noting that in the field of new energy vehicles.
The most dazzling one is Tesla. Although Tesla's annual sales are less than a fraction of Toyota's, and its zero profits are not necessarily high, it has been popular in the market and has become the world's highest market value, with a total market value of up to US$417.217 billion. Toyota's market value is only US$186.714 billion.
This shows a problem. Investors are very optimistic about the new energy vehicle industry, and Tesla is the leader among them, somewhat similar to Pingguo ten years ago.
Xia Guo is not without a company that makes new energy vehicles. Bidi is ranked first, followed by Future Automobile, Idea Auto, Xiao Peng Automobile, etc.
Bidi won’t say it anymore. Although it has been lukewarm on the sales list, it cannot be denied that his lithium battery technology is the leader of Xia Guo.
In the future, although the sales volume of car brands such as Vision is pitifully small, its market value exceeds that of most traditional car companies in Xiaguo. The reason is that it is the same as Bidi Automobile - the future new energy market that global investors, especially Wall Street investors, are interested in.
As for the types of car companies such as Hengda Automobile, there are also many car companies in Xiaguo, which are not within Zhou Xiao's consideration.
Zhou Xiao is not going to enter the automotive industry immediately now, but uses the automobile platform to conduct some new energy testing.
Therefore, what he needs is a company that completes the automobile production chain.
Here, Chen Ya also gave the answer - Nanma Automobile.
Nanma Automobile has a very long history. At first, it introduced the Mazda Folami production line. The Mazda Folami produced was famous for its time and finally became independent as Nanma Automobile Group.
But later, Nanma Automobile's, like many domestic cars, remained high due to its backward technology, and was on the verge of bankruptcy due to its fierce competition.
Chen Ya said: "There are several main reasons why I chose Nanma Automobile Group."
"The first is because the equity of Nanma Automobile Group is clean. After FAW Group transferred Nanma's equity to Haisheng Province, in order to raise funds, Nanma Group is all circulating shares. Currently, Haisheng and Nanma Company own 39.6% of the company's equity."
"The second is that Nanma Automobile's debt is relatively clean. A few years ago, Nanma Automobile was indeed burdened with debts, but thanks to the support of Hai Province and the decisions of the group's senior management, Nanma Group actively invested in the real estate market and paid off most of its debts through real estate development, land sale, etc. Although the company is still ST in the A-share market, it does not have much debt."
"The third reason is that most of Nanma Automobile's industries are in Hai Province, and we have formed the world's largest energy block research and development and production base in Le County, Hai Province."
Chen Ya's analysis is very good.
After listening to Chen Ya's analysis, Zhou Xiao said, "What kind of marriage do you get? You should make a contribution to the company when you are single."
Chen Ya rolled her eyes to Zhou Xiao!
The investigation is already very clear!
Zhou Xiao said to Chen Ya: "Don't you want to take a leave? I'm going to take a leave, but I'm just accompanying me to Haisheng to check it out."
Chen Ya is now happy!
Booking air tickets, the hotel will complete them in one go.
However, the two of them did not go on vacation, but went to inspect the Nanma Group.
When Mo Li learned that Zhou Xiao was going to Hai Province, she was very depressed. She came back from Hai Province and Zhou Xiao went to Hai Province again.
The joint laboratory's research on DNA storage technology has reached the most critical moment, and Mo Li can't leave either, otherwise she would really want to go to Haisheng with Zhou Xiao.
Capital of the Hai Provincial Province.
Zhou Xiao and Chen Ya visited the largest Nanma 4S store in Hai Province in the name of consumers.
Compared with the 4S stores of BBA, Toyota and even Jili, Nanma Automobile has very few cars, with only two types of SUVs and one electric car. Among them, the most expensive SUV is only over 120,000 yuan, and the terminal has a discount of more than 20,000 yuan.
There are very few customers in 4S stores, and it should be said that there are basically no customers.
Zhou Xiao and Chen Ya walked into the store, and the sales consultant welcomed him warmly, serving tea, water, and snacks and fruits. Since it was almost noon, the store also booked a lunch.
With this kind of service, Zhou Xiao gave Nanma Group high scores.
How is the automotive technology and whether it can sell well is a problem of the company's strength.
Service is a matter of the attitude of the company.
Seeing how hard the 4S little sister worked, Zhou Xiao immediately took out a Nanma 8S worth 125,900 yuan, which is also the top-end car of Nanma Group.
This is also the second time Zhou Xiao bought a car (the first time was Hongguang Bread), and he also contributed to domestic brands.
The sales girl Xiaorou is a little unbelievable!
The sales volume of Nanma 8S in a month is only more than 300 units. Today, this man bought one directly without bargaining or even buying it. He was so lucky.
Zhou Xiao was willing to pick up the car immediately, but there was a requirement.
"Our company has a business in South Province and may need to buy multiple cars, so I want to go to your factory to visit."
This is definitely a big order! Xiaorou immediately asked the manager for instructions.
After the manager reported to the company, he received a warm invitation from Nanma Company.
Finally, it was decided to be accompanied by Xiaorou, and there were also people receiving it from the factory, and Zhou Xiao and Chen Ya were invited to visit the factory.
On the way, Zhou Xiao also knew Nanma’s current difficulties and dreams.
