Since the Phoenix New Energy Vehicle Division was spun off from Phoenix itself and became the Phoenix New Energy Vehicle Company under the Phoenix Group, the structural framework and personnel organization of Phoenix New Energy Vehicles have become more reasonable and efficient.

Previously, the new energy vehicle division was attached to the Phoenix Group and a department of the Phoenix Group. All decisions and development required Hu Lai's personal intervention.

Now that it has become an independent company, all business decisions have been handed over to Zhang Feiyang, and Hu Lai only needs to pay attention to major decisions.

The most important thing is that after Phoenix New Energy Automobile became an independent company, Phoenix Automobile's finances were fully controlled independently, and its status changed from the "big pot" of the group to now the master of its own affairs.

After you become the master of your own affairs, of course, the more the company earns, the better the employees' efficiency will be. Naturally, the enthusiasm of employees will be greatly improved.

The most obvious one is, for example, for the previous order from Phoenix Sharing Car "Ephemera", after Phoenix Sharing Car placed the order, the fee was paid directly by Phoenix Sharing Car to Phoenix headquarters, and the new energy vehicle department was only responsible for production.

Under such a model, the management and even grassroots employees of the New Energy Vehicle Division are not very enthusiastic about vehicle improvements and cost control.

After all, we are only responsible for production, as long as we don’t make mistakes.

But now it's completely different.

After you take charge of your own business, for example, if Phoenix Sharing Cars places an order for a thousand "Dragonflies", the cost of the order of one thousand units will be paid directly to the Phoenix New Energy Vehicle Department!

The income from this order is completely used by Phoenix New Energy Vehicles independently.

Of course, Phoenix Shared Car will also put forward various requirements for quality and after-sales when placing orders. Operating vehicles such as "Mayfly" and "Dragonfly" are even more stringent on quality.

In this way, from the top management to the grassroots, the only idea is how to reduce vehicle manufacturing costs, reduce the number of after-sales repairs, and increase profits while ensuring quality.

After all, the higher the profits, the better the company's performance, and the higher everyone's performance bonuses.

Under various incentive systems, Phoenix employees have burst out with great enthusiasm.

"Boss, let me tell you, Zhang Feiyang is indeed quite capable."

"After several internal department adjustments and personnel adjustments, not only efficiency has improved, but employee motivation has also significantly improved!"

Hu Lai and Director Zhang came to the Phoenix New Energy Automobile Factory together. Although they were separated from the Phoenix headquarters, their factory area was still in the original factory area, so Director Zhang knew the situation of the new energy vehicle factory relatively well.

Hu Lai nodded. He had been to the factory several times recently, and every time he came, he could clearly feel the obvious changes.

“It’s really good.”

“It’s much more standardized now than when we were producing ‘Ephemera’ before, and the entire production workshop looks much more regular.”

"Do you still remember that when we were producing the 'Ephemera' chassis, Wang Dachui could easily enter our production workshop? This shows how many loopholes there were in the management at that time."

Director Zhang naturally knew about this. At that time, Li Kenan was still in charge of the entire new energy business department. Li Kenan was only an electrical engineer, so it was normal for him to have no experience.

"Boss, I am convinced now."

"Senior talents like Zhang Feiyang, who once managed an industrial base with an annual production capacity of one million vehicles and tens of thousands of employees at Didi, have indeed better management capabilities than people like me."

Hu Lai glanced at Director Zhang curiously, but he didn't expect that Director Zhang would also consider himself inferior.

At the time, Zhang Feiyang was hired even though he had to pay the liquidated damages of the non-compete agreement directly because he valued his strong management ability.

What Zhang Feiyang can bring to Phoenix is ​​not only the management of Phoenix new energy vehicles, but also the construction of an entire management system.

Phoenix will only expand bigger and bigger in the future, with more and more departments.

Factory director Han Ming can still manage hundreds or thousands of people, but a company with tens of thousands of people still has to rely on a mature management system.

Zhang Feiyang undoubtedly has such ability and has become an important help to Phoenix!

"Old Zhang, you are also growing very fast. You and Zhang Feiyang each have their own advantages."

"You did a great job at the press conference a few days ago and even in the recent online promotion of 'Qingluan'!"

Director Zhang laughed. He used to be the manager of the Phoenix Bicycle Marketing Department. Later, after Han Ming took charge of the electric motorcycles, Director Zhang became the director of the bicycle factory.

However, the business of the bicycle factory is a traditional business, and the business volume is not too large. On weekdays, I help Hu Lai handle the trivial matters of the entire group.

Unexpectedly, Hu Lai asked him to be responsible for the online promotion of "Qingluan" this time, specifically focusing on model 3, which actually showed his excellent publicity ability.

"Boss, don't talk about this anymore."

"The 'Qingluan' project team is probably waiting to report in the conference room. Let's go to the conference room quickly, on the second floor."

"good."

Hu Lai didn't say much. He came to the factory this time because the first batch of "Qingluan" test vehicles rolled off the production line, and the project team had to conduct a simple report and presentation.

The two of them quickly arrived at the conference room. As expected, many employees were already in the conference room, and Zhang Feiyang hurried over.

When everyone saw Hu Lai, they all stood up to greet him.

"Mr. Hu, you are here."

"Mr. Hu..."

Hu Lai nodded in response and walked into the conference room. He glanced around and suddenly found two people in the last row of the conference room discussing something with their heads down.

He walked over.

"Wei Ming, I think the back row of Qingluan should be designed like this. Two sensors must be added so that the weight and riding habits of the passengers in the back row can be known, and the artificial intelligence can truly learn to adjust the seat."

"And here, the rear air outlet must be here. I have calculated this position a hundred times. Only this position can truly achieve a constant temperature error of no more than 0.2 degrees in the rear area."

The two of them lowered their heads and discussed something. One of them, Hu Lai, was very impressed. He was Wei Ming, the designer who had previously designed the "Quick One" and "Powerful Tricycle".

The exterior design and interior of "Qingluan" this time were also designed by him personally.

The person who spoke seemed familiar, but he couldn't quite remember it.

"Wei Ming, Du Xinxin, and Mr. Hu are here!"

Zhang Feiyang saw that the two of them were completely absorbed in the discussion and quickly reminded them.

ah?

Wei Ming raised his head and took a look, and immediately reacted.

He put down the Ipad in his hand, quickly pulled Du Xinxin beside him to stand up, and shouted: "Mr. Hu."

Hu Lai responded with a smile, and then he remembered who Du Xinxin was next to him.

Du Xinxin is a senior talent who joined Phoenix Factory after the last FH0008 incident. He had already received an offer from Google and even obtained a visa, but finally chose to join Phoenix.

After the HR introduction, Hu Lai had a special meeting with me.

but.

Du Xinxin's major is not artificial intelligence. He studies talents like Google AlphaGo. How did he come to Phoenix New Energy Automobile?

Zhang Feiyang saw Hu Lai's confusion and explained: "Boss, it's like this."

"Du Xinxin was originally conducting research on artificial intelligence projects at the Phoenix Research Institute, but now the institute does not have any artificial intelligence projects that need to be implemented."

"After I learned about senior talents like Du Xinxin, I specifically asked him to help join the 'Qingluan' project team, hoping to provide some artificial intelligence technical support, but..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked at Du Xinxin and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Hu Lai was a little surprised.

Provide artificial intelligence technical support to the "Qingluan" project team?

You must know that in the past, whether it was a "mayfly" or a "dragonfly", the various electronic configurations in the car were mainly based on the "future operating system", loaded with various CCSR electronic control technologies, unmanned autonomous driving, and Blue Sky Motor technology.

Already.

how.

"Qingluan" actually needs the support of artificial intelligence technology?

Seeing Hu Lai's surprised look, Zhang Feiyang wanted to explain, but thinking that the meeting time had already arrived, Du Xinxin would also explain it at the meeting later, so he simply said:

"Boss, the scheduled meeting time has arrived, why don't you have a meeting first?"

"Du Xinxin will also explain about artificial intelligence later."

"That's fine!"

Hu Lai suppressed his curiosity, smiled at Wei Ming and Du Xinxin, and then walked to the front row and sat down.

After a while, the conference room became quiet.

"Dear leaders and colleagues..."

"Our first batch of 'Qingluan' engineering test vehicles have officially rolled off the production line. Today, colleagues from the 'Qingluan' project team will report on the specific situation of 'Qingluan' and the follow-up work arrangements..."

For every car company, the verification test phase of engineering test vehicles is a very important step. After the design of each mass-produced vehicle is finalized, a lot of data testing will begin.

For example, wind test, wind resistance test, transmission system test, electronic control system test, body strength, crash test, etc. The ultimate goal is to find as many problems as possible and correct them in time.

Therefore, the test phase is also the demonstration phase and the last opportunity for changes before mass production.

After a simple opening remarks, the meeting officially began.

"I am Wei Ming, the exterior designer and interior designer of the 'Qingluan' project."

“For this appearance, our design team has adopted more youthful elements and a large number of lines...”

"Now that our test vehicles have been produced, I won't go into details because everyone can see it with their own eyes."

"On our interior..."
