 Chapter 3520 is considered a capable person

Charlie Wade strongly agreed with He Yuanjiang's philosophy.

He didn't want to be a profit-driven businessman, nor did he want to be a benefactor who violated business logic. He hoped to achieve a win-win situation with consumers, producing high-quality products while ensuring that they offered the best value for money on the market.

Based on this principle, Changying Auto's profit margins on all products must be kept relatively low.

He Yuanjiang advocated for controlling profit margins, and on this point, the two of them coincided.

So, Charlie Wade said to him: "Professor He, do it according to your idea. You must make Changying Automobile a national brand that the Chinese people are proud of!"

He Yuanjiang nodded heavily and said sincerely: "For a car named after your father, I will go all out and live up to his lifelong reputation!"

After that, he said to Charlie Wade: "Master Wade, please give our new car a model name. Our competitors have models starting with M, S, L and E, and each has its own set of logic. We also have to have different models to distinguish different types and models."

Charlie Wade smiled and said: "I'm not an expert in this either. Let you guys do it."

He Yuanjiang said: "Master Wade, actually, this is not about expertise or not. It's just a name, anything goes. Many competitors use just one letter and a number, or two letters and a number.

Charlie Wade thought for a moment and said, "Since it's named after my father, let's use the initials of Changying, C. We're going to make sedans and SUVs, and very likely commercial vehicles and minivans in the future, so the last digit can't be just one, it needs to be at least two."

He paused for a moment and said, "How about this: sedans use odd numbers, SUVs use even numbers. If the first model is a mid-to-large car, we'll name it C07. If we release a larger model in the future, it'll be C09, a smaller model will be C05, an A-segment car will be C03, and a minivan will be C01."

"As for off-road vehicles, the same principle applies. If the next car is also a medium-to-large SUV, it will be called C06. The higher one will be C08, and the lower ones will be C04 and C02. If we will also launch a commercial vehicle, it can be named C10."

He Yuanjiang nodded: "Okay! Simple and clear, with clear logic, then do as you said, the first car will be called C07."

After that, he made a gesture of invitation and said with a smile: "Master Wade, let me introduce to you some key technologies of the body-in-white of our first car."

Charlie Wade asked him: "What does body-in-white mean?"

He Yuanjiang said: "It can be understood as the skeleton of this car. We first build the skeleton frame of the body-in-white, and then fill it with flesh and blood based on the skeleton. The size of the body-in-white, like the human skeleton, determines the longitudinal size of the person. In the future, we will install the doors, front and rear hoods, and anti-collision beams. This is the finished size of the car. The technology, materials, and sturdiness it uses determine its crashworthiness and safety factor. The one-piece die-cast battery compartment at the bottom determines how large a battery it can accommodate. Once the body-in-white is finalized, the main frame will remain unchanged, with only minor adjustments made later. "

Charlie Wade nodded and asked, "Are there any groundbreaking technologies involved?"

He Yuanjiang answered truthfully, "In the automotive industry, there aren't any breakthrough technologies yet. What we can do is ensure that the materials are strong enough and the process is advanced enough to make the car safe enough. Therefore, the main frame of our body-in-white is currently made of one-piece die-cast aluminum alloy. We upgraded Gao Heng's original production line and the die-casting machine we currently use is the most advanced 16,000-ton die-casting machine in China and even internationally."

"In addition, our car body welding is all done with the most advanced robots in the world. The assembly and painting processes are all integrated with the best international solutions. The hardware and software adaptation team is also the best in China. Therefore, when our car goes into mass production in the future, its completion will be far ahead of similarly priced products."

Charlie Wade asked curiously, "So, in fact, the key to car manufacturing is the ability to integrate resources."

"Yes." He Yuanjiang nodded and smiled. "The ability to integrate resources determines the technological ceiling of the product. If we can integrate the best individual technologies on the market, the overall level will not be too bad."

"In addition, another very important ability is the ability to integrate the supply chain."

"Because the core logic of car manufacturing is the assembly and reproduction of countless parts and solutions, everything from aluminum and steel to motors, batteries, seats, steering gears, suspension, tires, and even the inconspicuous wiring harnesses hidden in the car body must be screened and integrated from the supply chain;"

"This ability determines the lower limit of the product's cost. Just like different restaurants making the same dish, even if the raw materials are the same and the food is served at the same level, the cost cannot be the same because everyone's bargaining power is different. A chain restaurant with large volumes has lower procurement costs for all ingredients than an average restaurant, so the cost of making the same dish is cheaper than an average restaurant. But if a restaurant can find an authoritative master in the field of vegetable supply, who has a great reputation and high status in the entire vegetable supply field, then he may be able to get a lower price that even a big restaurant can't get. To put it bluntly, it means having strong bargaining power to make the supplier willing to make less money from us."

Charlie Wade asked him: "So what should we do in these two... How are our capabilities in this area?"

He Yuanjiang said, "Master Wade, regarding resource integration capabilities, we can be said to be the best in the domestic automotive field, because your grandfather has a great influence in the global trade market, and with the An family's presence, we can get a lot of equipment and technology that other manufacturers can't get."

Having said that, He Yuanjiang said, "As for the ability to integrate the supply chain, from what we have discussed so far, we dare not say that we are far ahead, but we can still maintain ourselves in the first echelon. Suppliers are still very optimistic about the future development of Changying Automobile, so although we have no mass-produced cars off the assembly line yet, they can still give us the conditions of the top OEMs."

Charlie Wade thought for a moment and asked him, "We still have further information about the main suppliers. Is there room to further lower the price?"

He Yuanjiang said: "Currently, the largest single cost of a vehicle is the battery power system. Your grandfather and second uncle have already started to plan the production of power batteries. After it is built and put into production, they will definitely tie up with us for in-depth cooperation. Other suppliers are too widely distributed, most of them are domestic manufacturers. The chips are Qualcomm and Nvidia. The body safety systems are mostly provided by German suppliers, the tires come from French suppliers, and the brake systems come from Italian suppliers. The overall bargaining space for European suppliers is not very high."

Charlie Wade smiled slightly: "Whether the bargaining space is high or not depends on who is bargaining. Whether you go or I go, I'm afraid those Europeans will not give us a face, but I do have a friend who can help mediate. If he comes forward, I believe that European and American suppliers will definitely agree.

He Yuanjiang asked curiously: "Mr. Wade, if you know such a capable person, why not let him join Changying Automobile and take charge of our supply chain."

Charlie Wade smiled and said: "I plan to let the heir of the Rothschild family, Steve Rothschild, help us negotiate the price. This guy is indeed a capable person. There is definitely no problem with him helping privately, but if he is asked to join Changying Automobile, it would be a bit too magical."

He Yuanjiang exclaimed: "The heir of the Rothschild family?! My God, half of the foreign suppliers I just mentioned are actually industries actually controlled by their family. This is no longer considered a capable person, this is a great capable person!"

"Really?" Charlie Wade suddenly said in surprise, "That's great! Comrade Steve Rothschild has finally found an opportunity to show his talent! I'll call him later and ask him to come forward and greet those suppliers."

He Yuanjiang said happily, "That's great! If we further reduce the cost and lower the price, the car's cost-effectiveness will be even higher. Maybe we can really create a few national masterpieces!"
