Chapter 928 Strong Return to the Western Market (2)
The negotiating condition that Musk put forward is the US auto market.
After Wang Xiang and the team heard what Musk said, although they had expected it, they still moved a little bit.
The US market is indeed very large.
The most important thing is that the per capita income of the American people is much higher than that of Xia Guo, and most of the American people do not have the habit of saving money, so they spend very easily.
Like Musk said.
In Xiaguo, a Haima Haiyue car sells for more than 100,000 yuan at most, and the best-selling mini car is tens of thousands of yuan.
But if the car is sold to the United States, the situation is completely different.
The per capita ownership of the United States is actually higher than that of Xiaguo, and the total number of cars is also higher than that of Xiaguo.
Although Americans don't care about gasoline consumption or environmental protection, they care about the performance of their cars.
The acceleration of bio-energy vehicles is much faster than that of fuel vehicles, and the cruising range is much longer than that of gasoline. In addition, the driving comfort and smoothness are far superior to those of fuel.
Therefore, if you sell bio-new energy vehicles to the United States, you must not talk about environmental protection and energy conservation with him, but talk about the performance of the car.
But the US market is also very difficult.
Especially for Xiaguo enterprises like Changtian Technology, it is very difficult.
Apart from selling biomedical technology to the United States, Changtian Technology has not sold other products including mobile phones.
The most critical thing is that the United States implements double standards in international trade agreements.
American products can be sold all over the world.
However, Xia Guo's products must not be sold to the United States.
So today Musk spoke about the US market.
What kind of American market is it?
Musk looked at Chen Xiao, he had hoped to see some surprises or strong eye changes on Chen Xiao's face.
But unfortunately not.
Chen Xiao's eyes were very calm from the beginning to the end.
It seems that this thing is expected.
It also seemed that Chen Xiao was not interested in products entering the US market.
Musk originally wanted to throw out such a plan to take the initiative in the negotiations.
Chen Xiao was unmoved, which made Musk feel a little embarrassed.
Chen Xiao pointed the table with her finger and said, "Mr. Musk, can you tell me your thoughts in detail?"
Musk laughed and said: "What I mean is that Tesla can buy Changtian Technology's bio-new energy batteries. At the same time, we are willing to help Changtian Technology's cars enter the US market."
"I have made a plan in detail, Mr. Chen Xiao can take a look."
Musk sent the plan over.
Chen Xiao looked at the plan in detail.
The content of the program is actually relatively simple.
Musk is willing to establish a joint venture company in the United States with Changtian Technology.
The two parties each hold 50% of the shares and sell bio-energy vehicles in the United States.
Musk will do everything possible to get this joint venture company a permit to enter the United States.
But the condition is that Tesla can purchase bio-batteries from Changtian Technology.
At the same time, Tesla equipped with bio-battery can also be sold in Xiaguo.
Chen Xiaojian briefly glanced at the plan and smiled.
This smile made Musk feel very puzzling.
Do you agree or disagree?
Chen Xiao looked at Musk.
Musk's eyes actually have some evasion.
This is the first time ever.
Because Musk has ghosts in his heart.
Of course Chen Xiao knew what Musk was thinking.
Musk drew a big pancake, which is the market in the United States.
It seems that the number of cars in the United States is very high, and it seems that the per capita consumption in the United States is also very high.
It's like sending a car to the United States, and you can pick up money with your eyes closed.
But Musk also deliberately ignored a very important issue.
That is, the cars in the United States have become saturated.
The United States has long been known as a country on wheels, which is enough to explain the high number of car ownership.
And the country of America is different from the country of Xia.
Although Xia Guo doesn't have the scrapping age and scrapping kilometers for cars.
But there are all kinds of fancy restrictions.
For example, after the implementation of the National 4 standard, the National 5 standard will be implemented immediately, and the National 6 standard will be implemented immediately afterwards.
Cars that implement the National VI and National IV standards cannot be traded.
In a disguised form, the National IV vehicles had to be phased out.
In the United States, you don't care so much.
Whether your car has been refitted or driven for decades, it doesn't care about you.
And because the fuel in the United States is extremely cheap and the population is sparsely populated, the internal drive for everyone to replace new energy vehicles is obviously not as strong as that in the Xia State.
Therefore, Musk hopes to use a market that is not easy to bite in exchange for the advanced bioelectronic technology of Changtian Technology.
Although Chen Xiao hadn't been to the United States after his rebirth, he had been to the United States before his rebirth.
And he has a very good understanding of the character of the American people and the character of the government.
It is not impossible for the people of this country to replace fuel vehicles with new energy vehicles, but it will take a lot of time and effort.
Under the current circumstances, completing such a cooperation is obviously not good for Changtian Technology.
What's more, the two parties established a joint venture company to sell Changtian Technology's new energy vehicles in the United States in the form of a joint venture company.
Tesla also has a 50% stake.
This is to make money with your eyes closed.
And this plan is signed for 10 years.
During the 10-year period, Changtian Technology must provide Tesla with bio-new energy batteries at market prices.
As for whether to buy Tesla or not, it is Tesla's problem.
Musk is indeed a very shrewd businessman.
Count all calculations.
Chen Xiao didn't immediately reject Musk, Changtian Technology is bound to enter the US market.
No matter whether this market is a scourge or a gentle and beautiful big woman.
But Changtian Technology absolutely cannot enter the US market in this way.
Moreover, Chen Xiao still needs to use Musk to constantly stimulate Europe.
Let Europe make a decision as soon as possible.
After all, compared to the United States, which has a very large land area and is very wealthy.
The situation in Europe is much more special.
So Chen Xiao didn't immediately agree to cooperate with Musk, nor did she immediately refuse.
Just to talk about it.
This is also a tactic to slow down the troops.
After the two sides concluded the talks.
Musk returned to the Changtian Technology headquarters in the hotel.
Neither he nor his team rested immediately.
Instead, an emergency meeting was held to analyze the resumption of today's negotiations.
Musk and his team believe that Changtian Technology is likely to agree to the conditions proposed by Musk.
Even if it is not 100% agreed, there will only be some minor modifications to the plan.
Because the US market is so attractive.
A U.S. market is equivalent to the sum of the entire European market.
At the same time, Xiaguo's auto market is also very large.
Moreover, there is almost a dislocation competition between Tesla and other new energy vehicles of Changtian Technology.
Even if Tesla uses Changtian Technology's bio-energy batteries, it will not affect the lives of Changtian Technology's subordinates and the sales of new energy vehicles.
Under such circumstances, Musk firmly believes that the two parties will agree to the cooperation agreement between the two parties.
As for Chen Xiao, after returning to the office, he did not continue to discuss the negotiation with Musk with Wang Xiang and other senior management.
After Wang Xiang saw Chen Xiao's eyes, he understood in seconds.
In the negotiations with Musk, whether a cooperation agreement can be obtained is not important, the most important thing is to continue to delay time.
So Wang Xiang also cooperated with Chen Xiao to release smoke bombs.
The press officer of Changtian Technology also immediately announced the relevant news of the negotiations between the two parties.
Said the two sides have made positive progress.
After the news was announced.
Major media around the world have reported on it.
Everyone agreed that Changtian Technology and Tesla will soon form a cooperation agreement.
It is very likely that Tesla's future batteries will use Changtian Technology's bio-batteries.
Of course, Changtian Technology's unilateral news is not 100% accurate, nor can the reporters be 100% credible.
So many reporters asked Tesla's spokesperson again.
Tesla's press spokesman, after receiving Musk's instruction, also believes that Longsky Technology will soon reach a cooperation with Tesla.
Therefore, I also agree with the press release of Changtian Technology.
There is such a tacit understanding between the two parties, which further strengthens the media's thinking.
A cooperation agreement between Longsky Technology and Tesla is about to be reached.
When Europe heard that the negotiations between Changtian Technology and Tesla were about to succeed, they were completely anxious.
The European Automobile Association couldn't bear it any longer. After reporting to the relevant EU departments, they immediately sent representatives to Changzezhou and fully agreed to the request of Changtian Technology.
All cars of the European Automobile Manufacturers Association are assigned a cooperation agreement signed with Changtian Technology.
I agreed with Changtian Technology's last revised plan.
The most important thing is that if the car companies under the European Automobile Association want to purchase Changchun Technology's bio-new energy batteries and produce bio-new energy vehicles, then any parts of the vehicle must meet Changtian Technology's standards.
All the products of Changtian Technology can be sold in Europe and will not be subject to high tariffs.
In addition, these auto companies will purchase bio-new energy batteries at market prices.
The price of Changtian Technology's bio-battery is only a little cheaper than the price of existing lithium batteries.
This makes European car companies a little confused.
This price is still acceptable to everyone, but I always feel uncomfortable.
I originally thought that the price of bio-battery should be very cheap, but I didn't expect it to be a little cheaper than lithium battery.
But everyone had no choice but to accept the price.
Because bio-batteries have never been sold outside, the only ones used are the three auto companies under Changtian Technology.
These three auto companies are all wholly-owned holding companies of Changtian Technology, or holding companies that hold more than 50% of the shares.
There is no way to know the specific price they paid for the Changtian Technology bio-battery.
But now that the contract has been signed, everyone is still willing to accept it.
European car companies such as Volkswagen, Peugeot, and BBA immediately purchased bio-batteries from Changtian Technology’s bio-company for the production of bio-new energy vehicles.
Volkswagen even couldn't wait to announce on its global official website that it will soon launch a new bio-energy vehicle.
As soon as the public's news was announced.
The global auto industry was shocked.
This move by Volkswagen basically means the development direction of the automobile industry in the next few decades.
Fuel cars will definitely be eliminated.
Moreover, Volkswagen has also chosen the future development direction. Lithium battery new energy vehicles must say goodbye to Volkswagen, and Volkswagen will soon embrace the embrace of bio-new energy vehicles.
Volkswagen also stepped up efforts to promote bio-new energy vehicles in Xiaguo.
He also said that within half a year at most, Volkswagen's first bio-new energy vehicle will be rolled off the production line.
Not only Volkswagen, but the entire European auto companies have made the same choice.
The collective statement of the whole of Europe directly shocked the traditional foundation of the automobile industry.
The first is that traditional fuel vehicle stocks have fallen sharply around the world.
Immediately afterwards, the prices of lithium batteries, lithium mines and lithium battery-related supporting products dropped sharply.
As for lithium mines in Australia, there were originally more than 10 global companies hoping to bid for them, and the starting price has already been more than 10 times higher than the originally scheduled starting price.
After announcing the cooperation agreement with Changtian Technology with the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, more than 10 companies that originally planned to purchase lithium mines all withdrew their bids.
Australia's lithium mines suddenly became worthless.
Among the industrial products of human beings, except for lithium batteries, lithium is actually used very little, which directly hit the price of lithium ore to 10 years ago.
The saddest one is of course Toyo's auto companies.
European auto companies have collectively turned to Changtian Technology, what should Dongyang auto companies do?
And Changtian Technology has long been waiting for this day.
Simpson immediately held a meeting at the European headquarters of Changtian Technology.
Three things were determined.
The first thing is that Saab Automobile has already produced many models in Spain, and they will go on sale in the whole of Europe immediately after waiting for the approval of the European Union.
With the help of Germany and France behind the scenes, this progress should not be too slow.
The second thing is that the bill that has already passed the European Parliament, Zemeng wearable devices and Hanhai mobile phones equipped with the latest Jinghong chips, can be launched in various European countries immediately.
Changtian Technology's factory located in Nokia will immediately increase its production capacity and seize the time to produce Hanhai mobile phones and torture wearable devices.
This wave of Changtian Technology should take away Apple and Samsung and become the king of electronic equipment sales in Europe.
The third thing is also very important.
Xiaguo's market is open to European auto companies, so the cars of Changtian Technology must of course enter the European market.
The European economy is not good, and the consumption level of the people is downgraded.
So one of the companies entering the European market is Haima Haiyue Automobile.
The entire line of Changtian Technology's products returned to the Western market almost immediately.
At this moment, Chen Xiao was standing at the highest level.
Whether it is the several auto companies under Changtian Technology or the European auto companies, they are all using the products of Changtian Technology.
Therefore, in the competition between them, no matter who wins or loses, the profit impact of Longest Sky Technology is actually limited.
At this time, Wang Xiang also directly rejected Musk's plan according to Chen Xiao's intention.
