During the entire 2006 year, emp played a core role in the development of Lo International, especially the Beijing Auto Show in the first half of the year, which occupied one of the two major key projects of Lo International.

So first, when Sun Ying reported, he gave a key explanation on emp's electric vehicle project.

Now emp's first prototype concept car concept.f has completed all tests, including the previous collision test. After a period of sorting, all the data has been sorted out. The current concept.f has completely reached the level of mainstream safety testing standards in Europe and the United States, and is no less than some international brands, especially the frontal 25% overlapping collision test conducted before. After the news was released by domestic automobile media, it not only shocked the entire domestic industry, but also the foreign automobile industry was also alarmed.

Because no company in the world has ever conducted such a test, and this test by emp also brings a new perspective to test practitioners in Europe and the United States.

However, such tests are too strict for automobiles, so few car companies dare to conduct such tests. All Ncap institutions are also hesitant and dare not adopt them rashly, for fear that if they are adopted, no product can pass this rigorous test, which would be embarrassing.

Now, after the media's hype, concept.f has become a star product that has attracted much attention from both home and abroad. Even the foreign automotive industry has begun to pay attention to the emerging electric vehicle brand emp.

After a series of complete tests, although concept.f still has problems such as batteries, it does not hinder its product standardization. After all, battery problems, the electric vehicle battery laboratory is intensively conducting product research and improving it.

After all, concept.f is just a concept product. It is still time to wait until the mass-produced product comes out.

After talking about electric cars, the next step is the situation of electric bicycles.

After the production of Langya Industrial Park and the production base in southern Henan was put into production, emp has established a new industrial base in the Zhejiang-Vietnam area to fully explore the southern market.

More importantly, Zhejiang Yue Industrial Park is the first industrial base in the country to fully use robots to achieve fully automated production, becoming a dazzling pearl in the industry.

Now, the emp has reached the ability to produce 10,000 electric bicycles per day, and the product line is also very rich, with more than 30 models, which can meet people's different travel needs. In addition, the newly launched electric three-wheeled project is also very popular in rural areas.

With its excellent reputation and excellent quality, in the northern region, emp's electric vehicles have become the first choice brand for consumers when buying cars. Although the competition in the northern electric vehicle market is very fierce and the top four brands in China are all from here, in the fierce competition, emp still seems to be a standout, leaving other competitors far behind and firmly occupying the throne of the sales leader in the north.

During the same period last year, there were more than 180 franchise stores. After a year of development, it has reached nearly 300 franchise stores, with annual sales exceeding 2 million vehicles.

It has to be said that now is really the golden period of the electric vehicle industry. Not only emp, but also the sales of every electric vehicle company are growing rapidly, and it has made a lot of profits.

More importantly, the preferential policies for franchise in the early years have long been cancelled, and emp, the franchise fee alone charges more than 20 million yuan, and its revenue exceeds 2.5 billion yuan. In addition to the relevant funds and operating costs invested in the development of electric vehicle projects, the net profit exceeds 600 million yuan.

This data will continue to rise as the electric vehicle project gradually matures.

Of course, last year, emp had experienced challenges. For example, in the second half of the year, it experienced the counterfeiting incidents caused by the dolphins after the reorganization. However, emp was aware of the opponent's actions in time and actively responded. On the one hand, it launched a price war by formulating special models. On the other hand, it joined forces with the local industrial and commercial administrative departments to vigorously crack down on counterfeit products, extract evidence, and filed relevant lawsuits against the dolphins, which allowed the dolphins to restrain themselves and start the brand building work again. However, compared with emp, the dolphins now cannot reach any threats and challenges to it.

"In addition, there is one thing I want to report!" Sun Ying, who was reporting on the development of emp, suddenly paused slightly, then raised her head and said.

Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to him. At this time, a faint smile appeared on Sun Ying's face and continued: "It's good news. A few days ago, with the help of the Langya Municipal Government, we and Langya Bus Company officially signed a procurement agreement. In 2007, Langya Bus Company will purchase 8 electric buses and form a new tourist route. Now, the charging pile is entering the construction and installation stage, and it is expected to be delivered after the New Year. And by around April, this route will be officially put into use..."

"Really?" Bai Ningyuan's face showed a look of surprise when he heard Sun Ying's words. He really didn't expect that he had just returned from the emp a few days ago. In just over half a month, Sun Ying actually brought him an unexpected surprise.

Emp's electric bus costs 1.6 million per unit, and 8 units will be a large order of tens of millions.

Let’s not talk about whether there is something Zhou Zhongguo showed good to him. Just saying that the orders for these 8 cars are issued is enough to show that his electric vehicle project is developing in a good direction.

"Very good. We must do the after-sales service of these 8 electric buses. After all, it is the first shot we have fired. We must ensure that we can shoot loud enough. In addition, remember to make this a case and then take it to the Shanghai International Auto Show for broadcasting and displaying!" Bai Ningyuan said excitedly.

When Sun Ying heard Bai Ningyuan's words, he naturally nodded, and he still understood these things.

But when talking about the Shanghai Auto Show, Bai Ningyuan emphasized this matter.

Just like the Beijing Auto Show, the Shanghai International Auto Show, which is once every two years, has also become one of the top automobile exhibition events in China and has had a considerable impact internationally. EMP will naturally not give up this opportunity to promote itself and has signed up for this exhibition.

At this auto show, of course, the focus is on electric buses and concept.f that have completed the finalization test. In addition, battery packs, motors, etc. related to electric vehicles represent the current emp technical level components and will also be displayed and exhibited together.

Because emp occupies an increasingly important position in LO International, this year's Shanghai Auto Show was also regarded as a key project of LO International in 2007.

After talking about emp, the next step is Letu Software.

After introducing foreign investment, Letu Software once again ushered in a new development speed. After winning the navigation orders of Deutsche luxury cars Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, this year, Letu reached a procurement agreement with General Motors Group in the United States to supply navigation for brands such as Chevrolet and Cadillac under General Motors. As for the domestic market, there is no need to say more. Because of the reputation there, many car companies also chose Letu to supply navigation.

In 2006, Letu shipped a total of 280,000 units, with a profit of more than US$35 million. In addition, the map's derivative business also had a profit of tens of millions of yuan here, which was a year of great harvest.

In addition, in the first half of 2006, Dianping, which originally only held 50% of the shares, was also invested by Lo International. After the equity divestment was achieved from Letu Software, it even made a wholly-owned acquisition. After having capital such as Lo International, this website regained its vitality and began its second leap forward.

At this time, the era of smart phones has not yet arrived in full swing, but Bai Ningyuan, with the help of the development methods of Meituan.com and Qianbaidu Nuomi in his previous life, began to re-plan the Dianping model, officially renamed it to Orchestra Network, and a shopping website focusing on group buying as the concept.

Since 2000, the concept of group buying has appeared in China, but it is mostly based on on-site group buying. Group buying-related websites have appeared one after another until 2004 and 2005. So far, there are about dozens of companies on the market, but there are still not many of them that are not very good. There is no specialized operation, no support from merchants, and they are not recognized by consumers. They are more limited to a small group of people.

Because Bai Ningyuan brought in a new concept and the entry of large amounts of funds allowed the band network to have sufficient funds to subsidize losses and attract merchants and consumers to enter, so after the revision, it suddenly left other competitors behind.

However, the current band is still developing, and Lo International did not conduct big publicity when it acquired it, so it was very low-key, so it has never attracted the attention of the industry.

Bai Ningyuan also knew very well that the reason why Meituan and Nuomi in their previous lives were able to develop was not only because of the arrival of the smartphone era and people's demand for convenient services became more intense, but also a very important factor was that large subsidies were almost at all costs in the early stage, which made people gradually rely on this consumption model. The price of doing so was that they needed an extremely large number of funds.

Bai Ningyuan is rich now, but Bai Ningyuan thinks that it is better to find a rich local tycoon to share the burden with him. After all, in business, other people's money is the best way to use it.

Because of this idea, the financing plan of the Orchestra Network has been put on the agenda by Bai Ningyuan, becoming the third subsidiary of Lo International to implement capital introduction. With Bai Ningyuan's current reputation, as long as the wind is released, there will be countless capital, coming to the door like a shark smelling blood...
