A car with a zero to hundred kilometers acceleration performance around five seconds is generally called sports car level.
However, in the era of new energy, for fuel cars to achieve such performance, they need large-displacement engines, V8, and turbocharging, whereas for new energy vehicles, one only needs to deal with motor power.
The difficulty gap in achieving high-performance acceleration between the two is really too large.
So, new energy vehicles, while consumers still equate a zero to hundred kilometers acceleration within five seconds with expensive sports cars, directly use three-second acceleration to declare their performance.
The advantage of doing this is indeed breaking consumers' perceptions, gaining a lot of attention and orders.
The downside is:
Being able to achieve zero to hundred kilometers in three seconds does not mean being able to produce handling that matches this acceleration.
When the car's handling does not match such strong performance, it is very easy for inexperienced users to disconnect when controlling the car.
Previously, when users handled fuel cars, it was like holding a pair of scissors for cutting; they knew there was certain danger, but because of protections, they would not pay attention to details when using it.
But now new energy vehicles with zero to hundred kilometers acceleration within three seconds are like a utility knife. People without professional training have no idea about its sharpness.
One careless move and overexertion can instantly harm both others and oneself.
Now the government stepped in, directly stipulating that no matter how good your new energy vehicle's performance is, it must be restricted to above zero to hundred kilometers acceleration in five seconds.
It's like dulling the utility knife a bit, although reducing performance, it does not affect normal use.
However, for mid-to-high-end new energy vehicles, this regulation means losing an attraction point for users.
And Yiyang Automobile emphasizes the price-performance ratio, never pursuing the zero to hundred kilometers acceleration competition, so it turns out to be a blessing in disguise.
"Fei Peng Automobile is now following the price-performance route; this regulation shouldn't affect Fei Peng Automobile, right?" asked Chen Yiyang.
"It doesn't affect us. But I feel that the authorities now suddenly knock in the field of new energy, they probably think the development speed of the new energy industry is somewhat out of control and want to take control.
The signal is changing the purchase tax from total exemption to half collection. This half collection policy probably won't last long and will soon become full collection.
By then, there's bound to be another shakeout in new energy vehicle companies."
Zhao Feipeng is a bit worried, mainly because the capital and backing behind his Fei Peng Automobile are not strong.
The more restrictions the industry imposes, the higher the operating costs of car companies, which will be a test for cash flow.
The reason Fei Peng wanted to introduce a female robot during the last technology day was mainly to tell a story and attract investors.
However, Chen Yiyang is not worried; he has a frightening amount of funds on hand now.
So he said to Zhao Feipeng, "If one day your Fei Peng Automobile wants to sell shares, you can find me."
Chen Yiyang looks down on the cheap new energy cars launched by Fei Peng, but he always covets Fei Peng's intelligent driving.
"Let's talk about it later, but if you really have money, the major shareholder of Ningde Era is planning to sell his shares, you might want to pay attention."
The major shareholder of Ningde Era wants to sell his shares?
After hearing Zhao Feipeng's words, Chen Yiyang found an excuse to hide in the corner, took out his phone, and searched.
It turns out it was true.
An important shareholder of Ningde Era, co-founder Huang Shilin, due to his own funding needs, is preparing to transfer 45 million shares of the company through an inquiry transfer, which accounts for 1% of Ningde Era's total share capital.
Based on Ningde Era's recent stock price, the corresponding market value is about 18.4 billion.
Huang Shilin was a core founder who started Ningde Era with Chairman Zeng Yuqun and was long responsible for Ningde Era's energy storage strategic direction.
However, more than two years ago, Huang Shilin resigned from Ningde Era due to personal business to start his own venture in the energy storage field.
This is quite normal.
Those capable entrepreneurs always like to keep trying, continuously starting businesses, attempting to replicate their past glory.
The most representative among them is the legendary entrepreneur Ji Qi from the hotel industry.
This guy initially pulled together a few people to co-found Ctrip. However, on the eve of Ctrip's listing, he was marginalized, so he started Home Inn internally at Ctrip.
The economic chain hotel track in the country basically started from Home Inn.
Although Home Inn succeeded, Ji Qi was again marginalized within the company.
This time Ji Qi chose to leave Ctrip and directly started his own business, founding Hanting Hotel.
This time, it only took Ji Qi four years to successfully push Hanting to go public, which can be regarded as successful entrepreneurship.
But after Hanting went public, Ji Qi still wasn't satisfied. After Hanting's listing, he chose to start again, founding All Seasons Hotel, and once again succeeded.
The rapid expansion of All Seasons Hotel directly made Huazhu Group controlling All Seasons the second largest in the country and the fourth largest hotel industry giant worldwide.
Ji Qi's entrepreneurial legend has inspired many already successful entrepreneurs in the business circle, encouraging them to leave their comfort zones and choose to start again.
This is why Huang Shilin, the boss of Ningde Era, chose to leave Ningde Era, intending to replicate the success of Ningde Era in the energy storage field.
However, the current Huaxia business world is no longer a time where you can venture simply with courage.
Nowadays, if you want to start a business, either sell yourself to capital or take out a massive amount of real money yourself.
Huang Shilin does not intend to sell himself to capital, so he plans to sell his shares in Ningde Era.
So for this stock transfer, Huang Shilin is not planning to do it through centralized bidding transactions or block trading; instead, it will be by inquiry transfer.
The buyer only needs to promise not to resell shares within six months after acquiring them.
Chen Yiyang was tempted.
By buying these shares, he could have some say in Ningde Era.
Both Yiyang Automobile and the Yiyang Energy he previously founded need to closely cooperate with Ningde Era.
By becoming a shareholder of Ningde Era, future cooperation between the two sides could be more direct.
So Chen Yiyang called his assistant, asking the team to prepare a price to send to Huang Shilin when the time came.
After dining at the hotel, Chen Yiyang thought since he was idle, he might as well invite Zhao Feipeng to go out for a walk together.
"Mr. Chen, I heard you personally love collecting antiques?" On the way, Zhao Feipeng suddenly asked about Chen Yiyang's antique collection.
"Yes, why?"
"Have you ever collected an authentic dragon robe worn by an emperor?" continued Zhao Feipeng.
"I really haven't; why would I collect that for? Aren't there many in museums?" Chen Yiyang was a bit puzzled. He had never collected a dragon robe.
"Sometimes after staying in the company for a long time, I get to thinking. A boss of a large company is no different from those ancient emperors. When you had the final say, whatever you wanted them to do, they would do.
But if you yourself are indulgent, the company will go bankrupt, and then you'll have nothing, and no one will listen to you.
So I had a sudden idea to get an ancient dragon robe worn by an emperor, to feel what it was like being an emperor back in the day."
"Dragon robes in ancient times could only be worn by emperors, they were rare to begin with, not to mention passing them down, so even if I wanted to buy one, I couldn't; if you really want, buy a modern imitation and it's the same." Chen Yiyang casually responded.
"Really?" asked Zhao Feipeng, "But I read an article that said a grave was dug up in the Imperial Capital. The grave owner was a fourth-rank civil official, but when he was buried, he wore a five-claw dragon robe."
Hmm?
Upon hearing this, Chen Yiyang incredulously said, "How could a fourth-rank civil official be qualified to wear a dragon robe?"
