Technological Supremacy Chapter 138: Standardize the market, the wolves go to sea!
In fact, Luo Jia never regarded himself as such a great person. When he was at home, his mother still forced him to eat the leftovers in the bowl. Responsible for sweeping the floor and cleaning the table.
However, in the eyes of Luo Jia's partners, it was very different. Knowing that he was coming, Boss Dong of Yadea Company had been waiting in the company early.
As soon as Luo Jia arrived, he brought the entire company's management team out to greet him. On a hot day, they all wore white shirts and ties, and they were business-like.
Luo Jia has no airs and is easy to deal with, but Luo Jia has very high requirements for partners.
In the field of electric vehicles in the past, there was quite a mixture of good and evil, and the quality of products was uneven.
So Luo Jia set up rules for them. As an important product related to traffic safety, the quality must be high.
Before the product goes on the market, it has to go through the inspection of Xingchen Technology, and the technical geeks in the Mechanical Division think that this product is good, so they can sell it.
Are those technical nerds in the mechanical department of Xingchen Science and Technology ordinary people?
Definitely not!
Dozens of samples were sent before and after, and 90% of them were returned directly by those technical nerds.
The coefficient of friction of the tire is not enough, so it needs to be rebuilt.
The braking distance is not enough, so it needs to be rebuilt.
The welding process is not up to standard, so it is still remanufactured.
Yardi and Emma are currently the two largest electric car manufacturers in China, with an annual sales volume of 5 million units, and their technical strength is the most powerful in this industry.
Even so, Yadea Company worked hard to meet the technical standards required by Luo Jia.
After taking a seat in the office, Boss Dong asked the secretary to serve tea. Luo Jia didn't have the habit of drinking hot tea in summer, so he directly ordered a bottle of iced coconut juice.
Luo Jia said straight to the point, "This time we have three types of products launched at the same time, and you are the last batch from the mechanical team, so I came here to take a look."
Boss Dong was sweating profusely, feeling very guilty.
Luo Jia is very ambitious this time, and directly launched three types of electric products, in addition to electric cars, there are also electric motorcycles.
Wuyang, Xindazhou, Jialing, Qingqi, Haojue, Zongshen, these manufacturers are all superior in technical strength to Yadea and Emma, after all, they used to make motorcycles.
Suzuki GS250 made by Haojue, Honda today made by Sundiro, Honda CB190 made by Wuyang, logo motorcycle made by Qingqi, Piaggio and Aprilia made by Zongshen, all of these will be sold at Neon and European markets.
Luo Jia told them that domestic electric motorcycles must meet strict quality standards, and manufacturers like Haojue can do it immediately because they already have technical strength.
There is also a type of electric bicycle, such as a Giant mountain bike, which does not move from shifting to braking. It only installs a 200W micro motor on the front wheel, and installs a small battery pack and electric controller on the beam, and then replaces the battery. doors and electronic brakes.
It looks exactly like a mountain bike. From the frame to the tires to the transmission, it also meets the strict European standards. It is just a lightweight modification made on the basis of a mountain bike, and the quality is also Awesome.
Of course, this time Luo Jia did not cooperate with Giant and Merida, but chose Phoenix, Forever, Feige, Xidesheng, Fujitec, these are the largest domestic bicycle factories, and they are responsible for the light weight. Class electric bicycle products.
These domestic manufacturers have been suppressed by Wanwan manufacturers for many years, and with the support of Luo Jia, they are finally hardened this time.
In fact, the quality of their products is not bad at all. North American Trek and Lightning sell for tens of thousands of yuan. Many models are manufactured by factories in Tianjin and Guangdong.
These domestic bicycle factories have technical strength, but it’s a pity that the brand is not good. You talk about Fujitec bicycles to others, let alone foreigners.
The above two are manufacturers with their own strength but lack of branding and marketing. They have no problem and have already prepared. As long as Luo Jia gives an order, they will immediately push their products to the world.
Only manufacturers such as Emma and Yadea are more troublesome. Their products are not as powerful as electric motorcycles, and they are not as light as electric bicycles. They are unique to China. They are not called electric motorcycles or electric bicycles, but electric bicycles. car.
In terms of accurate positioning, electric vehicles should be ultra-lightweight electric motorcycles. The power of electric bicycles does not exceed 500W, and the power of electric motorcycles does not exceed 1000W. The products of Yadea and Emma are in the middle of the two gears. Ability comes last.
Luo Jia paused, "There are too many manufacturers of electric products in China. In the future, we must form three to five giant companies through fierce competition, so as to have international competitiveness."
"Although your products have been approved, it is up to you whether you can beat the motorcycle factory headed by Haojue and the bicycle factory headed by Phoenix."
Boss Dong was taken aback for a moment, his expression became serious, and he said seriously, "Mr. Luo, please rest assured. First, we have decided to go all out. Second, even if we lose at that time, we are willing to bet Admit defeat."
Luo Jia said with a smile, "It's good to understand, it's not that our Xingchen Technology is cruel, but the market competition is inherently cruel. In the heyday of North America, there used to be thousands of car factories, and only three survived in the end. "
"And the winner among you will challenge the motorcycle hegemony of Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Harley, KTM, Ducati, Trek, Lightning, Tornado, Nikola, LOOK , Pina, the groundhog's bicycle supremacy, those are all ruthless characters."
Boss Dong nodded again and again, "Understood, fully understood, if you can't even beat domestic opponents, why should you fight Honda and Suzuki in the future? , we also recognize it."
Luo Jia didn't say anything else. He got the news from Professor Ouyang that new laws and regulations will be introduced soon, and the existence of electric vehicles will be completely abolished.
In the future, there will only be two types of products on the market, low-speed electric bicycles that do not require certification or listing, while the products made by Yadea are classified as light electric motorcycles, which require certification and listing.
Those electric vehicles in the past, although they were counted as bicycles, their specifications had exceeded the standard for a long time, they ran fast, and they did not have front and rear disc brakes.
But from now on, this abnormal phenomenon will completely disappear in China, and everything must follow the new rules. Reshaping the traffic order is the first step in the future traffic system.
......
After talking with Boss Dong, Luo Jia left Wuxi and returned to Shanghai.
When Luo Jia saw the news that night, several major cities that took the lead in launching shared motorcycles launched a lightning arrest operation.
The police arrested those who locked the motorcycles privately, moved them back to their yards, and destroyed them all, and then charged them with destroying public property according to the law.
It's very lively now.
The police station was overcrowded. A few brats who tried to pick the lock were also caught by the police uncle.
And on the Internet, there was a big discussion about the national quality. Netizens clapped their hands and applauded the police's action.
"It should have been like this a long time ago! Those who destroy shared bicycles should be arrested and sentenced to ten or twenty years!"
"Support Uncle Policeman!"
"Everyone is responsible for protecting shared bicycles!"
Netizens have posted barrages one after another. Although a sentence is impossible, if they are caught at the police station and educated severely, it is enough for those who take advantage of it to remember for a lifetime.
In the past, the police didn't want to take care of such trivial matters, but now they directly deal with heavy hands, immediately deterring a large number of people who love to take advantage of small things, and the social atmosphere has changed dramatically at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Then on June 20th, new electric vehicle management regulations were released, officially confirming that old-fashioned electric vehicles were banned and could no longer be sold in any form.
Replaced by the regulation of electric bicycles and electric motorcycles.
The management method stipulates that the maximum power of electric bicycles shall not exceed 400W, and the maximum speed shall not exceed 26 kilometers.
This standard has actually been relaxed a lot. Considering that there are magical mountain cities like Chongqing in China, if the electric bicycle has no horsepower, it is really inappropriate to push it down, so the standard is set a little higher.
As for electric motorcycles, there is nothing to say about this. According to the current motorcycle management regulations, there is no shortage of certificates and licenses. If you do not obey the traffic rules, you will be fined and points deducted.
The most troublesome thing is that there are a large number of electric vehicles on the market. It is definitely not appropriate to ban them directly. They are all bought by ordinary people with hard-earned money.
So it can only be guided to quit. If you have an old electric car at home, you are willing to hand it in for recycling. The government will subsidize some money, and you can buy a new one.
If you don’t want to, you can continue to ride. Anyway, this kind of product will not be produced in the future, and the parts will become less and less. After a few years, the old-fashioned electric vehicles will completely disappear from China.
Generally speaking, domestic public feedback is quite positive.
Luo Jia saw a reporter interviewing an aunt on the street. She sent her electric scooter to the recycle bin and sold it for 400 yuan. Then she added another 1,400 yuan to buy a Phoenix brand women's motorcycle , After trying to ride a few laps, the aunt was full of praise.
"My original battery car was too heavy, and I couldn't even help it up when I fell down. It's better than this one. It weighs only about 30 kilograms. It's light to ride, and it can be charged wirelessly. I'm satisfied. I'm quite satisfied."
Luo Jia also saw a trendy man wearing AJs. He bought a top-equipped Phoenix mountain bike for more than 10,000 yuan, with a carbon fiber frame and a Shimano M800 transmission.
The reporter interviewed him ~IndoMTL.com~ The trendy man explained helplessly that his girlfriend is a cycling enthusiast, and she would drag him into the mountains on weekends.
And he doesn't like cycling, after more than 100 kilometers, his legs will be tired and broken, but if he doesn't accompany his girlfriend, she will get angry, and she won't have **** with him when she gets angry.
So the trendy man decided to buy an electric mountain bike. If he wanted to exercise, he would ride for a while, and when he was tired, he would turn on the switch.
All in all, the electric wave has caused some turmoil in China, but its influence is far less than that of foreign countries.
After all, Chinese people have long been accustomed to using electric vehicles, but it was not standardized in the past, but now it is more standardized and advanced.
It is the overseas market that has really caused a huge impact. Foreigners have never seen this thing before. They have always ridden motorcycles or bicycles.
Suddenly, dozens of domestic manufacturers, large and small, appeared in the global market like a pack of wolves, bringing thousands of electric bicycles and electric motorcycle products.
The shock brought by it was really too great.
