Rebirth 2008: I Can Make Money Reading Chapter 332

Wang Feng was very depressed, very depressed.

"One for two years, as promised!"

His ninth solo album "Nothing for Life" was originally planned to be officially released on November 16, and the preview time has been set.

This album, he injected more precipitation and insight.

But at that time, Muyang's Xinghai Group's acquisition of Hummer EV has been on the hot news, and the whole network is Muyang's news.

Therefore, Wang Feng intends to delay the announcement.

From November to today's December 10th, Muyang has been silent and has not appeared for a long time, as if it disappeared from the earth.

Wang Feng is happy, he feels stable, absolutely stable!

"yeah!"

At eight o'clock in the morning, he announced his ninth album "Nothing for Life" on Weibo, which is really a two-year period.

The eighth album "Faith Flying in the Air" was released on July 31, 2009.

But at nine o'clock in the morning, Wang Feng couldn't smile anymore.

Damn Muyang, it's hot news again.

His current mood is just like the lyric in "Life Wants Nothing", "How should I exist... How many times have I been ecstatic but suffered..."

Yes, he felt like he didn't exist anymore.

Wang Feng wanted to shout to netizens and fans: I am here! Check out my new song!

Depressed and depressed, Wang Feng was also curious about why Mu Yang was on the hot news this time, and carefully read the reports about Mu Yang.

It turned out that Muyang smashed nearly 10 million Rolls-Royce Phantoms to the outside world, and then it was publicized by media reporters, and it was also featured in hot news.

Mu Yang didn't take it seriously, but netizens were talking about it frantically. After all, this was a car that cost nearly 10 million yuan.

"Why do you want to smash the car? The genius is crazy!"

"I heard that Muyang personally took the lead in smashing the car in order to make the employees study the car no longer shy."

"That's really cool. I haven't smashed a car yet. It's estimated that few people have smashed a car, let alone nearly 10 million cars."

"It is estimated that Rolls-Royce is going to cry, why smash our brand of cars, can't we smash other brands of cars? Haha."

The ridicule of netizens, Rolls-Royce and its boss BMW did not make a statement, and did not take it seriously.

However, doubts about Xinghai Group's car manufacturing have been raised again, and many high-level industry leaders are promoting their companies or products.

"If you can learn to build a car by smashing a car, so can our XX company."

"Xinghai Group's car building has just started to be a bit high-profile. It seems that there is no new action in the past few months. Muyang's Weibo has not been updated for a long time. It is estimated that Muyang has lost confidence in car building, and is still researching other brands of cars. This book, "Wolf's Ambition", is about making a person more confident. Mr. Mu Yang supports this book. He said that since reading this book, he now has the confidence to build a car."

There are many voices of doubt, and there are also many voices of support.

It's just that Wang Feng doesn't understand: is there a mistake, this **** can be hot news!

If Mu Yang knew what Wang Feng was thinking, he would definitely reply: "I really don't blame me!"

In his spare time, Mu Yang saw the media or celebrities questioning or supporting his car building.

It's just that Mu Yang laughed a few times and laughed at himself at the same time: It's outrageous for us to build cars. In a few years, those new forces building cars will probably make you guys laugh out loud.

Xinghai Group's car-building starts from the most basic, unlike the Internet to build cars together, for example, the future of Du Niang's cars will be outrageous.

The car designed by Du Niang lacks the B-pillar. Without the B-pillar, there is no support. Even Mu Yang has no confidence to ensure the rigidity of the car with the reduction of the B-pillar. With the fancy butterfly door, how can the closing speed be avoided? Pedestrian collision, poor practicality.

The net is doing things that are not practical, the design is very novel, and it is strange to say it badly.

Design advocates innovation, but the car is to consider safety performance first, not to abandon traditional design and make some fancy things.

Du Niang and Zheli Group jointly built cars, but they couldn't see the shadow of Zheli's assistance in building the car. In the end, Zheli Group withdrew and the layman stepped in to build the car. , Laymen should not interfere in professional affairs.

Mu Yang intends to remain silent until the car is successfully built, so he is too lazy to pay attention to the outside world, and his work focus has shifted from the motor to the automatic driving.

The autonomous driving laboratory has built an experimental site in the No. 9 steel structure workshop and an open space outside the workshop, and built many traffic sign props, such as driving areas, lane lines, traffic signs, traffic lights, vehicles, pedestrians and all obstacles and many more.

The above detections belong to the research projects of environmental perception, and there are many small projects to be studied, such as high-precision positioning (such as laser positioning, visual positioning, integrated navigation and positioning), decision planning, intelligent control, data platform and so on.

It will be tested in the company first, and finally will be tested in actual traffic to collect more data.

Due to the limited hardware, Muyang's planning goal for autonomous driving is L2 advanced driving assistance, which is also the level of assisted driving for mainstream electric vehicles in ten years.

In the future, the hardware chips can keep up with the L3, step by step.

The system design of L2 is not a problem for Muyang, he is also in charge of this project, and he has more than 20 researchers.

When Mu Yang came to the autonomous driving experiment site, these researchers breathed a sigh of relief. The boss finally came. They solved some key problems, but some algorithm problems have been plaguing them, and they still need to be solved by the chairman himself.

They have 10,000 admiration for the chairman.

There are several experimental vehicles on site, all of which are equipped with instruments, such as laser locators installed on the roof, GPS, global positioning system GPS, wheel encoders installed on the wheels, and out-of-office cameras installed in the headlights.

In addition to GPS requirements for the network, others do not need an external network. If the car enters a tunnel or basement without a network, it will not be unable to drive automatically.

Muyang named the company's autonomous driving assistance "XH" and its level is L2.

This L2-level autonomous driving system, the hardware is mainly 1 auxiliary driving chip, and the sensing hardware includes 4 environment perception cameras, 2 in-car cameras, 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 millimeter wave radars, 4 surround view cameras, etc. .

The capability of a chip is expressed by the chip computing power TOPS. For example, Tesla's self-developed FSD can bring it, and Weilai ES6 only has it.

Of course, domestic cars also use high-level chips. For example, Huawei's self-developed chips used in Avita 11 have achieved computing power, ideal L9 chips have achieved computing power, Weilai ES7 chips have achieved computing power, and the latter two are imported chips. .

The computing power of the chip is a relatively complex issue, and it is enough to use it.

Autonomous driving is mainly to process a large amount of picture data, and the chip used is GPU (image processing chip) instead of CPU (central processing unit).

It is increasingly difficult for processors with CPU as the core to meet the needs of processing unstructured data such as video and pictures. At the same time, the processor also needs to integrate multiple channels of data such as radar and video. GPU is more suitable.

Today, automotive chip hardware may not meet Muyang's requirements, but Muyang can optimize algorithms, simplify logic, and reduce GPU requirements.

At the same time, it is not necessary to use all assisted driving functions, mainly to meet the commonly used assisted driving functions, such as lane keeping assist system, automatic parking assist system, brake assist system, reversing assist system and driving assist system.

Muyang plans to find a Huawei company to get automotive chips. If he can't do it, he has to find NVIDIA or Intel.

GPUs and sensing hardware in this era are not cheap. Muyang never thought of making money from them, so he can guarantee that they are flat.

This is the same as opening a supermarket. Fruits, oils and salts are cheap and even lose money, but supermarkets can make money from other places.

Xinghai Group mainly makes money from batteries and motors.

Make money from spare parts first, and after selling the car, the company in the beautiful country will make another part of the money.

Although the price of the car is the same, the money in your hands is different in the end.

But it is not arbitrary pricing. The higher the pricing, the higher the base, and the more tariffs to be paid. Try to take a balanced value.

The two countries have different taxes, and Lao Cao, the glass king who invested and built a factory in the beautiful country, said bluntly: "The comprehensive tax burden of manufacturing in the beautiful country is 35% higher than that in the beautiful country, and the profit of a factory in the beautiful country is higher than that in the beautiful country. "

When Muyang invested in Hummer, he specifically analyzed this issue, which was related to how much money he could get.

The two countries differ in value-added tax and corporate ownership tax. What Lao Cao said is not correct.

For example, Xinghai Group has been exempted from corporate income tax for three years, and in the future, corporate income tax will be semi-collected. What is the corporate income tax of Beautiful Country?

The federal corporate income tax rate for companies in the United States is one of the highest in the world, at 35%.

As for Huaguo, the maximum corporate income tax is 25%!

Of course, the value-added tax levied in my country is generated during the production process of the enterprise. Even if the enterprise does not carry out production, it has already begun to pay the tax when purchasing raw materials.

In the beautiful country, there is no such thing as value-added tax. The corporate income tax is high, but it is levied after the enterprise makes a profit. If the enterprise does not make money, it does not need to pay.

The tax rates in the two countries are not just that simple, they are more complicated to say, and the situation of different industries and different enterprises may be different.

Some companies have heavy taxes in China, but they may be very low in beautiful countries; it may also be the other way around.

The national conditions are different, and it is not easy to say which is good and which is bad. It depends on the situation and nature of the enterprise. There is no absolute good or bad.

But in the case of Xinghai Group, if the corporate profits are high, the tax in the beautiful country is heavier.

Three years of tax exemption + three and a half years of tax, even if half of the tax is over, the corporate income tax rate of high-tech enterprises is only 15%!

It is 20% less than the 35% of the beautiful country.

Therefore, what Lao Cao said is a bit against his intentions for his company.

But if it is aimed at companies with low profit margins, Lao Cao's words are also true.

However, there is still a problem, personal income tax.

Needless to say, the personal income tax in beautiful countries is much higher, as well as consumption taxes, such as the annual property tax and car property tax.

Not to mention the super first-tier cities, maybe the price of foreign houses is low, but the property tax is not low, the situation is different in each state, and the house value is also different, from 0.5% to 3%, the median is about 1.5%.

In NY, for example, in 2010, the average property value was $283,000, and the median annual property tax required was $4,500.

To put it harshly, this is equivalent to spending money to buy a house, and then paying rent every year. Chinese people are definitely not happy.

But in general, the farmers in the beautiful country are very hard, and they have to pay property taxes for their houses.

Citizens of first-tier cities in China are also suffering because the housing prices are too outrageous.

There is also the inheritance tax, which is unacceptable to the Chinese.

In any case, Mu Yang didn't think about it that much. To make money in China, paying taxes is a matter of course.

He will not move the company out because of the low taxation in other countries, that is impossible.

Immerse yourself in scientific research and time flies.

There are still two days, it will be New Year's Day, 2011 is about to pass.

On December 30, Mu Yang reported on the progress of the next four-eighth plan.

[Asking myself to upgrade the system to level 7 on January 1, 2014, current progress: 29.5%]

[When you upgrade to the 7th level system, you need to save 1,000 achievement points, the current progress: 39.65%]

[Personal assets exceed 100 billion yuan, current progress: about 54%]

[1) Hummer electric vehicles will be mass-produced within one and a half years, and the annual sales plan is not less than 50,000; current progress: 15%

2) Within two years, the future 01 and the future 02 will be produced in small batches, and mass production will be completed within three years. Current progress: 11%]

[New energy battery project, current progress: 50%]

[Motor project, current progress: 51%]

[Automatic driving system, reaching LV2, current progress: 71.2%]

[Battery charging project, current progress: 22%]

[Bulletproof glass project, current progress: 25%]

[Xinghai Building is put into use, current progress: 65%]

Forty-eight plans, one has been completed, that is, this year's 25 billion operating income.

As 2012 is coming, Muyang has roughly set a new operating income target: 60 billion yuan!

At nine o'clock the next morning, Muyang received two good news from the automotive project team.

The ternary lithium battery and motor samples are made!

Hearing these two news, Mu Yang was overjoyed.

After the samples are made, several samples can be sent to Hummer to assemble the Hummer EV prototype.

Mu Yang suppressed his excitement and came to the battery project team first. Seeing Sun Wen, the leader of the battery project team, he asked directly, "Dr. Sun, how is the test data?"

Sun Wen saw the faint smile on the chairman's face, and showed the data sheet in his hand to the chairman, and said at the same time: "Three samples were tested, and the average energy density was 251Wh/kg, which is still a little short of the target value, 160 degrees. The battery pack exceeds 700 kilograms, and tests such as acupuncture test, extrusion test, drop test, aerogel insulation effect test, battery pack vibration test, etc. are carried out. The more difficult acupuncture test is fine, but the drop test fails to meet the requirements. , the drop height exceeds 2.2 meters, and the electrolyte leaks, but fortunately there is no fire."

When Sun Wen reported, he was also observing the chairman's expression. I was really afraid that he would be unhappy, so he was careful when reporting.

After listening to the report of the team leader, Mu Yang read the data and gave a high evaluation: "If mass production can reach this data, it is possible.

But the experimental sample can do this procedure, which is also very good, better than I expected. I'll look at the samples you've tested first. "

Mu Yang has high expectations for Sun Wen, who is an expert in batteries after graduating from MIT for three years.

A month ago, Mu Yang had a telephone interview in person and asked him many professional questions. The more he asked, the more difficult he became. He was finally invited to be the team leader of the battery project team, with a technical level of P9 researcher.

Before Mu Yang finished talking about the salary package of P9 to Sun Wen, Sun Wen had already decided to return to China and report to Xinghai Group as soon as possible.

"Okay, if it weren't for the chairman's guidance, we wouldn't be able to solve the key problems." Sun Wen was relieved to hear the chairman say this.

Top talents are arrogant, but in front of Mu Yang, Sun Wen was convinced by Mu Yang in the phone interview.

During the phone interview, the difficulty of the questions that Mu Yang asked in the second half of the interview were the research problems that he had been troubled by.

At that time, Sun Wen also asked: "Can Xinghai Group solve these technical problems?"

"There is no problem that Xinghai Group can't solve. The problem you mentioned is not a problem for me. I need someone to help me realize NCMS1.0. I am too busy to experience it personally. As long as this NCMS1.0 can be realized, Xinghai The technical level of the group's ternary lithium battery has reached the world's first at your fingertips."

Sun Wen still remembers the very confident tone of the chairman's words at the beginning. He didn't quite believe it, and then asked the chairman three questions that he could not solve. As a result, Mu Yang quickly answered, and there were many solutions, but he only answered two. If you say that Xinghai Group has applied for a patent, if you want to know more, then come to Xinghai Group.

A door to top technology opened to him, and Sun Wen stepped in without hesitation and agreed to join the Xinghai Group.

As for remuneration, he is also very satisfied.

Now, Mu Yang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't flatter me, you guys are very good, we are a team."

After speaking, Mu Yang came to the battery pack after the experiment, carefully observed the damaged battery pack, and then observed the picture captured by the high-speed camera, slowed down the playback, and watched where the damage was first.

"Chairman, we have attached stress strain gauges on the battery pack and recorded data." Sun Wen reminded aside.

Stress strain gauges can be detected as long as there is a slight change in the position where they are attached.

Mu Yang nodded and continued to observe and analyze.

ten minutes later,

Mu Yang reminded: "Dr. Sun, I haven't found out what's wrong so far. You can only rule out the same thing. Let's see how the assembly strength of a single battery is."

"Okay, Chairman, do you have any other orders?"

"You are doing the test at room temperature. You can try testing in low temperature environment and high temperature environment. Make a few more sets of samples, and try to send out the samples before the new year. The Hummer company needs battery samples to be installed." Mu Yang instructed,

"But the completion of the sample~www.mtlnovel.com~ does not mean that the work is complete, nor does it mean that the battery pack is no problem. You still need to test in harsh environments such as low temperature and high temperature, and strive to complete small batch production before May Day. , but you can't shut down projects hastily because of progress.

The motor project team has also produced a prototype, I'll go take a look. "

After Mu Yang finished speaking, he went to the motor project to see the situation.

The project team made ten motor prototypes. When Muyang entered the laboratory, three prototypes were running at high speed.

Half an hour later, Mu Yang's observation was completed, and the prototype still had many problems, such as the relatively loud noise when running at high speed, which could not meet his requirements.

But overall, it's ready to be shipped to Hummer to assemble a prototype.

In the later stage, it is gradually optimized, and it is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite.

It is also impossible to wait for the motor to be optimized before delivery, which will delay the progress of Hummer.

Of course, the Hummer EV can't be mass-produced without a complete solution to the problem.
