Chapter 1084 On the game between the new and the old
“???”
After hearing Bai Ningyuan's rash talk just now, Sun Ying looked like he was confused. Obviously, he could not understand Bai Ningyuan's argument, but just looked at Bai Ningyuan with a suspicious look.
Seeing Sun Ying looking suspicious, Bai Ningyuan didn't feel too surprised. In fact, it was not difficult to understand. No matter who it was, he would think that this was a whimsical idea when he heard Bai Ningyuan's theory.
After all, although it has long been a consensus in the industry that new energy vehicles will be the future development trend, looking at the internal combustion engine cars that are flying all over the streets and the huge car brands that still control the entire automobile industry, you will know that if you want to achieve this, who knows what happened in the Year of the Monkey, even if it is now accompanied by Falcon, it will be useless.
However, Bai Ningyuan has his own reasons and opinions, which is why he dared to bring out these arguments to Sun Ying.
He thought about it and said directly to Sun Ying: "Actually, I said this argument a long time ago. From a philosophical point of view, old things will definitely be replaced by new things. Compared with old things, new things are weak in a short period of time, but they have stronger plasticity and adaptability. Take the automotive industry as an example. Although other brands have a long history, such as Mercedes-Benz, PSA, Volt, etc., they have a hundred years of history. Almost since the existence of cars, they have them. Although their technology is very powerful, they have various technical reserves and laboratories, but as I said before, their strengths are also a shackle of themselves!"
When he said this, he paused a little, looked at Sun Ying who was acting like listening, and then took a sip of water before continuing: "After so many years of development, they have already owned a mature system, which means that every step they have to move forward must be based on the current system, regardless of whether this system is suitable for the future environment, because for their company, this is undoubtedly the least cost, so their development path can be said to be getting narrower and narrower. With such a huge body, it is not something that can be done easily. They lack the courage to start over. For them, this is tantamount to completely denying the technological accumulation of dozens or hundreds of years before, and completely denying their brand.
Everything, so in some innovative technologies, these companies with larger scale and stronger technology are slower to use, but we do not have such problems. From the day of their birth, everything is brand new, we have infinite possibilities and development directions, we can adjust our products at will according to changes in the environment. In terms of plasticity, our advantages are beyond the reach of those old brands, so we can freely digest and transfer all of these new technologies to our products without considering the compatibility of the environment and taking a new path different from them. From this point of view, at the starting line, we have already taken a big step ahead of them, and such a gap will become bigger and bigger."
When he heard this, the doubt on Sun Ying's face had slowly disappeared, and he changed into a serious look.
"To make a brand new electric car means they have to abandon all the shell designs, all engine skills, and all their mechanical control systems and other emissions, and tow everything that they once proud of is abandoned. This price is definitely not something that those old car companies can afford now, especially a series of complex situations such as partners in the parts supply chain, so under the pressure of profits, they can only grit their teeth and continue to move forward, even if the road becomes narrower and narrower.
." Bai Ningyuan's face also had a solemn expression, "Because in this era, they have lost the ability to innovate. Let's talk about Volkswagen. A model has been continuously lengthened and shortened, adjusted the interior configuration, and distinguished the price. This has formed a series of models, which has made cost control to an outrageous level. There is no sign of innovation at all. It is just constantly spinning around in the spot and becoming a slave to profits. This is not just a case, but has almost become a common problem in the entire automobile industry, but to a degree."
Sun Ying sat there, her face looking gloomy and gloomy, as if she was still immersed in the impact that Bai Ningyuan said just now.
Indeed, in the past, he only saw the prosperity of the automobile industry today and the strength of those automobile companies, but never thought that behind this prosperity, there was a crisis about the life and death of enterprises.
Just like Kodak invented a digital camera, but was defeated by it, things in the world are so impermanent and ironic.
After a long time, Sun Yingcai let out a long breath, looked at Bai Ningyuan with a wry smile on his face: "I have to say that although your argument is very deviant, it successfully convinced me that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have seen these at all."
"Uncle-in-law, the reason why I say this is to keep you feeling upward crisis all the time, because we don't know when a seemingly powerful company will suddenly fall down. No matter how glorious it was, it is like this. In recent years, how many car brands have disappeared in the vast amount of time? So, if we cannot maintain a sense of alertness, their today will be our tomorrow." Bai Ningyuan also sighed lightly, his eyes flashing with a look of fatigue and confusion.
In fact, what he said is also an admonishment to himself.
In another seven or eight years, his prophet would end. If he could not completely improve his vision in these seven or eight years, how could he, who had lost the investment myth, save his hard work? Perhaps an investment mistake might ruin his hard work.
This is definitely not alarmist.
Therefore, in addition to cultivating himself, he also needs a group of effective help so that after his prophet ends, he can maintain his business empire and continue to move forward step by step.
The two of them sat on the sofa and talked until late at night...
