Jianghuai recruitment bar

On February 25, at Weilai Center (NIO? House), Weilai signed a framework agreement with Hefei Municipal Government to settle Weilai's China headquarters in Hefei. Subsequently, Weilai Automobile confirmed in its official Weibo that Weilai China headquarters project will be settled in Hefei, and Jianghuai Weilai EC6 mass production project will be officially launched.

As for the project of Weilai China Headquarters, we have actually worked hard for nearly 1 year. Since March last year, Weilai Shanghai factory has stopped working, indicating that Weilai Shanghai base construction has basically failed; In May last year, in the news of financing 654.38+00 billion with Beijing Yizhuang, it was also revealed that Beijing Yizhuang requested to build Weilai China headquarters in Beijing Economic Development Zone. Subsequently, Weilai also broke the news that there were financing negotiations with Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, which also involved the project of Weilai's headquarters in China. But in the end, none of them succeeded.

According to People's Daily Online, the China headquarters project of Weilai Automobile includes the establishment of China headquarters of Weilai Automobile in Hefei, the establishment of R&D, sales and production bases, and the establishment of the operation system of China headquarters centered on Hefei. The project plans to raise 654.38+0.45 billion yuan for the establishment and operation of R&D and market system, and plans to build a headquarters and R&D base of 654.38+0.5 billion yuan and a second production base of 654.38+0.5 billion yuan.

That is to say, compared with the previous financing of Beijing Yizhuang10 billion, the final result of Weilai China Headquarters Project will indeed be a satisfactory result in terms of financing amount.

From Shanghai, Beijing and Huzhou to Hefei today, the construction of Weilai headquarters base can be described as twists and turns. And why can Hefei come from behind and make a final decision?

The first is the advantage of the production base. In fact, as we all know, Weilai originally planned to set up a second factory in Qingpu, Shanghai, which is also its first factory. When the Shanghai factory project was shut down, the Jianghuai Weilai factory in Hefei was of greater significance to Weilai Automobile, because Weilai's ES8 and ES6 models were all produced in this factory.

The second is the advantage of supply chain system. Jianghuai Weilai Factory, which has been built for more than a year, has a complete supply chain system in Hefei. The establishment of supply chain system is very important for car companies, because it involves the control of cost and production capacity. Weilai's headquarters in China will be located in Hefei, and the second factory will be established in Hefei, which will help to use the existing supply chain system and reduce costs. For Weilai, who has been "short of money", it is the best way to save costs.

The third is lower operating costs. From the recruitment information about Weilai Automobile on websites such as Hunting.com, we can see that Hefei, as a second-tier city, can provide Weilai with lower costs. For the same position, the recruitment salary of Weilai in Beijing and Shanghai is about 65438+ 0.5 times that of Hefei. For Wei, whose financial situation is not optimistic, the fixed cost advantage is also attractive.

Fourth, Hefei's full support. Jianghuai Automobile, as a leading automobile enterprise in Hefei and even Anhui Province, has great support for Weilai. According to insiders of JAC, JAC Weilai Factory, which is currently in operation, is wholly owned by JAC and its employees are also provided by JAC. When Weilai settled in Hefu, China, Weilai Automobile is bound to deepen its cooperation with JAC, and JAC Automobile in the state-owned assets transition period can provide more help for Weilai.

You know, JAC also has a joint venture company in the field of new energy, that is JAC Volkswagen. Therefore, after Weilai settled in Hefu, JAC Volkswagen with higher positioning will still be a favorable helper for its future development.

As far as Hefei itself is concerned, the next high-tech development momentum will go out of a "blowout" situation nationwide. As one of the only three cities in China, Hefei has always been in the top sequence in the field of scientific and technological innovation, with the most complete high-tech manufacturing system and innovation ability in China. In addition, Guo Xuan Hi-Tech has advantages in the field of power batteries and Iflytek has advantages in vehicle interconnection, Hefei still has great advantages in the entrepreneurial soil of new car-making forces in China.

Therefore, compared with going north to Guangzhou and Zhejiang, Weilai Automobile will set its headquarters in Hefei, which is more in line with Weilai's current development. In addition, as we all know, Li Bin, the founder, chairman and CEO of Weilai Automobile, is also from Anhui, and "returning to his hometown" has become Li Bin's final choice. According to the planning of Hefei Municipal Government and the settlement of Weilai China Project, Hefei Municipal Government plans to build Weilai Automobile into an automobile enterprise with a market value of 100 billion in the next five years.

In addition, after settling in Hefei, Li Shufu's plan to invest in Weilai is likely to fail! Let's cheer for Weilai!
