BYD has always been a wonderful existence in Daqian system, because BYD is about the least valued subsidiary in Daqian system.
The reason why BYD was founded in that year was ridiculous. Boss Jia felt the incompetence of domestic batteries, so he made up his mind to create a high-performance battery belonging to Huaxia and make Huaxia's battery the first in the world.
In fact, BYD has achieved this goal in its previous life. With BYD releasing their blade batteries in 2019, BYD has stood at the top of the world in the field of commercial batteries. Not to mention, no enterprise in the world can compete with BYD in terms of batteries.
Therefore, when boss Jia planned to build a battery enterprise, he naturally chose the name BYD, naturally hoping to achieve BYD's achievements in the battery field in the future.
In fact, boss Jia has always attached great importance to BYD. Otherwise, he would not spend nearly 30 million yuan to buy back all the equity of BYD after establishing a joint venture with other battery brands that year, so as to make BYD an exclusive controlling subsidiary of Daqian.
But BYD people don't think so. In BYD people's eyes, BYD is the most despised child in thousands.
First of all, BYD is located in Dongguang Province, no longer in Xijiang province. It has become the only enterprise in Daqian series with its headquarters in Dongguang province.
Secondly, Daqian series enterprises can get comprehensive support from Daqian. However, except for producing 4WD batteries for Daqian, BYD batteries do not buy any other batteries, but all purchase batteries from other foreign enterprises.
In fact, in Daqian's product line, there are many places that need batteries, such as the batteries needed by pocket elves, the standby batteries needed in VCD, the batteries needed by bully, etc. Daqian spends more than 300 million yuan on buying batteries every year. It is a big guy in the battery circle who everyone flatters.
However, Daqian Mingming owns a subsidiary of BYD battery, but the purchase of 300 million yuan is almost entirely in foreign enterprises. The president of BYD once protested to boss Jia, saying that it is unreasonable.
As a result, boss Jia put the Sony battery and the charging made by BYD together, installed it on the same 4WD, and then pressed the switch.
As a result, Sony's battery lasted for two hours, but BYD's battery was dead in 40 minutes.
"Daqian is an international enterprise, and the product quality must not be relaxed. If we can use domestic places, we have no reason not to use our own batteries. But the performance gap is so big that I can't ruin Daqian's reputation!" boss Jia said. BYD's boss had no face to stay on the spot and rushed back to Dongguang province overnight, After a few days, he submitted his resignation and took the initiative to resign.
This also makes BYD a complete joke in the domestic battery industry. It is extremely embarrassing to be despised by its parent company.
As a result, the sales of BYD's batteries for the domestic market are very poor. In 1994, BYD actually incurred a loss of 100 million yuan. Of course, BYD doesn't think it is Daqian's own son.
But what makes BYD people wonder is that although Daqian seems to dislike BYD very much, he has never hesitated in allocating funds to BYD. RMB 100 million or 200 million is allocated every year, and all these expenses have to be spent on scientific research, making BYD battery the worst battery sales in China, but the most abundant scientific research funds.
This makes BYD people feel confused again.
What's more unexpected for BYD people is that when all the company personnel are ready for a holiday at the port of the upcoming Chinese new year, boss Jia suddenly appears in the company like a magic soldier, frightening the boss of BYD. When he goes out to meet him, boss Jia has arrived downstairs of his office building.
"Chairman, why are you here?" the boss asked with a smile, wiping the sweat on his head.
The boss was originally a vice president of camel battery. After the original boss resigned, he was dug up by headhunters. Boss Jia reviewed his resume and found that there was no problem. He was a professional, so he let him take over as the new boss of BYD.
"I'll see how your production is. This is my enterprise. Of course I'll come and inspect it!" boss Jia said faintly.
"Yes, I'll show you around the workshop!" the boss said quickly.
"No need!" boss Jia shook his head and said, "your production workshop doesn't look good. Just take me directly to the R & D center. I want to see how your R & D achievements have been in the past three years!"
"Yes!" the boss wiped the sweat on his head and took boss Jia to the R & D center.
At this time, the R & D center is very lively. There are many researchers in it. It is estimated that there are no less than 200 people who can be seen by the naked eye.
"It seems that BYD has done its best in scientific research and has lived up to my scientific research funds!" boss Jia said in his mouth, but his eyebrows were locked. "I just don't understand why these researchers wear colorful clothes one by one. Don't they wear white coats when they go to work?"
"Well, it's almost the new year, so the R & D task has entered the final stage. Many people are ready to go home for the new year, so the management is a little lax. Before, all of us had to wear work clothes to work, without any problem!" the boss hurriedly explained.
"Oh!" boss Jia didn't speak, just walked around the whole institute, and then said, "call all the researchers for me, and I'll have a chat with you!"
"Yes!" the boss gave an order, and all the researchers gradually gathered around. Boss Jia looked at the researchers, and his eyes became even more strange.
"Who are your leaders? The leader of the R & D team at any time?" asked boss Jia. Then more than a dozen people stood up one after another. Half of them didn't wear a white coat. Looking at boss Jia's eyes, they were also a little afraid.
"Don't be nervous. I just came to check BYD's progress in R & D!" boss Jia smiled and said, "who can tell me about BYD's research on batteries?"
Boss Jia's question was asked. As a result, he waited for more than 10 seconds, and no one was willing to take the initiative to answer it. Finally, the boss couldn't go on. He said by name, "Professor He, please tell the chairman!"
"OK!" a bald old man came out, bowed his head and said, "at the request of the head office, our main R & D direction is rechargeable batteries, and at present, the mainstream rechargeable batteries have the following types."
"They are nickel cadmium battery, nickel hydrogen battery, lithium ion battery, lead battery and iron lithium battery!"
"Among them, nickel cadmium battery has memory effect and small capacity, which is not suitable for the future development scenario of rechargeable battery."
"So the mainstream development in the future should be nickel hydrogen batteries, lithium-ion batteries and lead-acid batteries!"
"In fact, the most practical battery should be lead-acid battery. Now such batteries are widely used in all cars and motorcycles, but first, the battery volume is too large, which is also not suitable for future development. Therefore, our main R & D strength is invested in Ni MH battery and lithium ion battery!"
What Professor He said is clear and reasonable. It sounds very reliable, but in fact, these are old-fashioned words. Anyone who has just entered the battery industry can say the same words.
"How is your R & D progress?" asked boss Jia.
"Our Ni MH battery has reached the domestic advanced level. Lithium ion battery is unique in China, but there is a gap compared with foreign countries!" Professor He said.
"How much is it?" boss Jia asked further.
"It's about so bad!" Professor He actually compared the distance between his ten fingers and his thumb to explain the gap to his boss.
"How much is so much!" boss Jia asked further.
"It's not easy to quantify, it's not easy to quantify..." Professor He was about to cry.
"It's hard to quantify, so I'll quantify it for you!" boss Jia snapped his fingers, and the secretary took out a 4WD.
"This is the four-wheel drive car you tested when your boss came to report to me two years ago. At that time, the lithium-ion rechargeable battery ran for 40 minutes, while Sony's battery ran for two hours."
"Today, I'll take out this car for you to see our latest products. How's the effect?" boss Jia said, extending a hand to Professor He and said, "Professor He, take out our best lithium-ion rechargeable battery!"
"Yes!" Professor He went to the laboratory to get the battery with trembling footsteps, but at this moment, a man suddenly jumped out and said with a sneer, "don't take it. Chairman, I tell you, our strongest battery now is the battery two years ago. There is no change. Because of Jerry building, we haven't run for less than 40 minutes!"
