Chapter 713: Gratitude Is Greater than Heaven

"Long time no see."

"Let's have tea in the evening."

Chen Jun and Wang Minjiang met each other in the lounge of the base. They didn't meet many times, but they both had the same identity.

Huanghe Semiconductor and Xin'an Automobile were the two earliest subsidiaries of Xinyuan, and they were also the two companies with the best development and the largest scale. Androv's Star Aviation could not compare with them for the time being.

Xin'an Automobile is now the leader of new energy vehicle companies in China and even the world, and Huanghe Semiconductor is a unicorn company in the field of domestic chips and systems, both of which are at the top of the industry.

This is largely due to the technical support provided by the base. Although the base has not even asked about it in the past year, and there has been no more technical output, it still does not affect such a result.

The two did not delay Lin Ju's sudden summons. They almost immediately got up and rushed to the base, hoping to see "the man who landed on the moon".

They didn't wait too long. Less than 15 minutes after the two arrived, he appeared at the door of the lounge.

"Mr. Lin!"

"Sit down."

Lin Ju didn't say much politely. He simply said hello and sat down opposite the sofa. He explained first:

"I won't keep you for too long. I have to take a plane to Beijing in a while. Tomorrow is the time for the hydrogen bomb to explode. If you have any questions, please find Ye Changsi."

Chen Jun certainly knew about the explosion plan of United Mining. In fact, United Mining has overwhelmed all aerospace agencies in the world and become the only top stream. Any news related to it will be reprinted.

After all, a "private" enterprise that can buy nuclear bombs and mine on the moon has a prestige in the real world that even exceeds that of most countries.

When he thought that Lin Ju was busy with such great things all day, he even felt that making cars was not worthy of his status, and his face immediately showed admiration.

However, Lin Ju did not care about his expression change, but went straight to the point:

"Xin'an has a good development momentum. I think you can start to make full profits as early as 2020. Old Chen, you have made an indelible contribution."

"Mr. Lin, thank you for your praise. I am also standing on the shoulders of giants."

Chen Jun was a little embarrassed. Xin'an Automobile can have the current situation because the parent company has a very good foundation. As long as it does not operate randomly, there is almost no possibility of accidents.

In the past three years of Xin'an's business, selling cars and related derivative businesses have made a lot of money, but the overall financial report is a loss, mainly due to the continuous investment in infrastructure.

Xin'an was established in 2015 and started its business. At this time, only BYD had a new energy foundation through its early DMI technology. Domestic pure electric vehicles were still in the stage of fishing in troubled waters, and several new forces that would become famous in the future were still developing slowly.

Xin'an entered the market with pure electric and intelligent driving. Although it has superb technology, it is very dependent on infrastructure. It has no infrastructure that will be perfected after 5 years, and it has to do everything by itself.

Pure electric vehicles require the construction of super charging stations everywhere, smart driving requires the construction of vehicle networking, and lane-level fine navigation relies on mapping vehicles that update data nationwide.

This does not include the supply of parts. There is no mature and sound supply chain in the future. Xin'an can only provide money and technology to support each one and cultivate it bit by bit.

So even if Xin'an's cumulative sales have exceeded 1.5 million vehicles, and this year it will hit an annual sales of one million, all the profits have been invested in various ecological constructions, and there is even a trend of more and more losses.

Fortunately, the two major shareholders are full of confidence and continue to increase their investment patiently, and concept stocks have ushered in a continuous bull market.

Xin'an's current technical level is more than 3 to 5 years ahead of its peers, especially after obtaining the 220wh/kg battery and lightweight alloy from the base, it did not continue to roll up the battery life but tried to reduce the weight of the car.

With the same battery capacity and a 2-ton car weight, Xin'an can reduce it to 1.5 tons, reducing the height of the car body while reducing power consumption. The level of technology can be distinguished from the naked eye.

Chen Jun's goal is to achieve an annual sales volume of 3 million vehicles in 2020, and try to popularize L3 (the standard for the division of this world line) fully automatic driving.

Lin Ju carefully looked at the confident Chen Jun, and suddenly asked:

"How is your driverless taxi operating?"

Chen Jun hesitated for a moment when he heard this question, but still answered honestly:

"The L3 level technology of driverless taxis is still relatively primitive. If it is to be put into large-scale urban operation, it will cost a lot to install auxiliary facilities on the road. At present... it is not very meaningful."

He felt a little ashamed when he said this, thinking that it was his lack of ability that caused the driverless driving to stagnate, but Lin Ju was not surprised.

The requirements for driverless driving that can be on the road to deal with complex road conditions are much higher than those for auxiliary driving, and Xin'an's technical strength is not enough.

The first generation X32035 produced by the base is still a peak that is difficult to reach in China, and the intelligence level of SC09 cannot be developed in a short time.

The key is that there is no strong demand for L3 driverless driving in China for the time being.

If there is no demand, create demand.

Lin Ju narrowed his eyes and continued to ask:

"Do you know about online ride-hailing?"

"Yes, of course!"

How could Chen Jun not know about online ride-hailing? Or he should know about online ride-hailing the most.

The concept of online ride-hailing first came into being in 2010, but it was not until around 2020 that it began to flourish. 2018 was already the eve of the peak period of this industry.

Anyone who has studied this industry in depth will know that sooner or later, online ride-hailing will move from part-time to professional, and the ultra-low-cost advantage of new energy vehicles will bring huge help.

The current obstacles to the entry of new energy into online ride-hailing are still too few supercharging stations and lack of market confidence, but Chen Jun can definitely see the huge market that is gestating.

He explained his analysis and optimism about the prospects of online ride-hailing in great detail, making Lin Ju nod frequently, and then Lin Ju dropped the first bomb:

"I also plan to do online ride-hailing, are you willing to take over?"

Before the shocked Chen Jun could digest the news, Lin Ju followed closely and dropped a second bomb;

"The online ride-hailing service I want to make must be fully autonomous. I'll ask for the road qualifications from the higher-ups. You don't have to worry. I only think about how to operate it and make legal preparations. There are many loopholes to consider."

"Mr. Lin..."

The expression on Chen Jun's face was very complicated. He might not be very interested in the pure online car-hailing business, but what if it was a fully autonomous and unmanned online car-hailing business?

If it were spread across the country, how big of a market would it be? At least a million vehicles, several million vehicles, tens of millions?

This has broken away from the scope of traditional car companies, and its nature has transformed into a highly valuable super technology company, with tentacles in every corner of the country and controlling hundreds of millions of travel needs.

It was a lie to be unmoved, but when he thought that he was about to take over such a super giant, he even felt panic:

The impact of this incident is so large that only national institutions dare to endorse it. It is not something that a company can bear the consequences of.

Even Wang Minjiang on the side was shocked by Lin Ju's radicalism and whispered:

"Isn't this a step too..."

He vaguely guessed the purpose of calling him over. Lin Ju would definitely not rely on the traditional electronic system when he pushed away the driverless system, and would definitely take the opportunity to promote the ternary system.

Of course Wang Minjiang hopes that the ternary market will expand rapidly, but he is scared to launch such an advanced thing all at once.

However, Lin Ju did not intend to explain too much to them:

"Unmanned online car-hailing also started with pilot projects. The first few are big cities such as Beijing and Chengdu. As for the policies, you don't need to worry, I will guarantee it for you."

Of course, Lin Ju has full confidence. Xinyuan's status is now very different from that in the past. Lin Ju and other base executives are no longer simple presidents of private companies and have considerable official influence.

From a certain perspective, Xinyuan is also organized~

Of course, it is not his decision to fully promote such a major event, but it is certainly no problem to open a small back door for partial pilot. As long as the local government is willing to cooperate, it can be implemented smoothly.

Perhaps it was the sense of oppression and tension deliberately created by Lin Ju, but Chen Jun didn't have time to think too much. He simply weighed it in his mind and gritted his teeth and said:

"I'll do it, leave it to me, Mr. Lin, but I need full support, both technically and in other aspects, and Lao Wang also needs to cooperate with me."

Wang Minjiang responded quickly:

"We fully cooperate with the parent company's decision."

"very good."

This attitude made Lin Ju very satisfied, and then he dropped the third bomb:

"One last thing, the unmanned online car-hailing company will open a new production line, and we will set up a subsidiary company specifically for production. The production of these cars will also need to be greatly reformed. Lao Chen, will Xinan be able to direct the parts factory? "

This sentence shocked the two of them again, and they no longer dared to listen any more.

Chen Jun swallowed his saliva and answered carefully:

"Yes, we can either acquire or support core component factories and battery factories, and they all listen to us."

Lin Ju's expression became serious and he sat upright:

“I want to promote the OGAS system. The parts supply and final production and assembly of autonomous vehicles must be fully integrated into computer management, and the automated command system issues instructions to control output and structure.

Excluding the R&D department and quality management, the parts production and assembly of autonomous vehicles must be as unmanned as possible. I give you the next task: from the source of parts to the end of the vehicle assembly line, no more than 100 workers are allowed in the production process. The production capacity will be no less than 50,000 vehicles and no less than 100,000 vehicles in the future. All must be automated! "

Chen Jun's eyes darkened, and each of his big moves became more exaggerated than the last. Lin Ju had not been involved in the subsidiary's business for a long time, but once he came, it would turn everything upside down.

However, he did not dare to refute, but seriously considered the feasibility:

"Mr. Lin, this requires the entire supply chain system to open a separate production line to cooperate with the automated command system, and a lot of robots will be added to the assembly process. The cost-efficiency ratio is too low, and the cost will be completely uncontrollable, and it is likely to increase several times."

Can car production be completely unmanned? Of course you can, even without relying on a base.

In fact, modern car companies' manual participation is basically in the final assembly stage, such as door mounting, interior screws, car logo installation, etc. However, the price of replacing it with robots is extremely high, and the layout is cumbersome, and the overall cost-effectiveness is not as good as manual labor.

As for the core coordination ability of OGAS, he ignored it. In Chen Jun's view, modern assembly line management is the ultimate in efficiency, and he could not imagine the huge power of full-system automated control.

"Xinyuan will bear these transformation costs. I may set up another company to be responsible for it, because the experimental nature is not included in your costs. It will be shared when it matures. Xinyuan will fully subsidize the increased expenses in this area. Well, maybe The country will also give it.”

Lin Ju still believed in the strong support for new things from above, and he felt that the explanation was almost the same and he looked at Wang Minjiang:

"What is the main problem of Huanghe Semiconductor now, design or process?"

"Process, the process is too backward!"

Wang Minjiang answered immediately, he already knew what would happen next.

China is not short of talents, the IC design specification base of ternary chips has been fully provided, and the limitation is mainly in the process.

"We mainly apply 28nm, and below 20nm requires extreme ultraviolet EUV lithography, which is not possible now. Magic City Microelectronics is still trying to find a way."

"I'll give it to you."

Lin Ju waved his hand calmly. There are hundreds of billions in the base account now, and there are countless projects. It is possible to take out tens of billions of dollars to concentrate on conquering some key technologies of EUV lithography machines without attracting attention.

The source of technology is also easy to explain. First wait for the Enterprise to conduct orbital testing, and then take it out in the name of "Blackstone" reward. This set of rhetoric has been completely accepted by others.

"Get the 14nm process done as soon as possible. I'll give you one year to find all the problems and hand them over to me or Old Ye."

After saying that, he looked at his watch and saw that the time was almost up. He felt that there was nothing to say, so he left, leaving the two stunned CEOs.

Wang Minjiang was silent for a while before he sighed:

"Mr. Lin is trying to change the whole world."

Chen Jun also nodded silently, and suddenly felt that Lin Ju wanted to do more than that.

…

"Mr. Lin, your kindness is greater than the sky!"

Ruan Liang grabbed Lin Ju's arm excitedly, ignoring the latter's awkward expression and looking up and shouting, his emotions were so excited that he almost fainted.

Seeing this, Zhong Cheng immediately tried to step forward to dissuade him, but Ruan Liang caught the new target and pulled his sleeve and shouted:

"Great Development Commission, we will always remember your kindness, and we will never be able to repay it from generation to generation!"

Lin Ju, who finally got away, suspected that the Annan astronaut who was training was possessed by something strange.

The noise that Ruan Liang made was finally calmed down by several staff members, and then he learned the reason from other people:

The explosion of the hydrogen bomb tomorrow will basically mark the end of the Tianmu IV mission, and the next round will be Tianmu V.

Perhaps it is for future preparations, or it may be to win over other members of the Huayin Treaty. In short, the Space Agency decided to let the follow-up missions of the Dawn Project also cooperate with the Tianmu Project, and will send astronauts from other small countries to the moon!

The five astronauts from small countries have entered the pre-moon landing adaptation training since the day before yesterday. Ruan Liang, who was selected, was very excited. He couldn't suppress his emotions when he met them.

After understanding the truth, Lin Ju touched his arm and subconsciously asked his assistant:

"The others are not here, right? Don't continue this."

"Don't worry, we have already stopped them, but their domestic propaganda can't stop it, and it is estimated that it has already started."
