Chapter 925: Strongly returning to the Western market (1)
Musk led Tesla’s top management, a total of more than 20 people, to visit Xia Country this time.
The headquarters of Tesla Xiaguo District was originally in Shanghai, and Tesla’s super factory has just been built in Shanghai in the past two years.
Then you said that when Musk comes to Xiaguo this time, the first place he should go is the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and meet with the relevant leaders of the Shanghai Stock Exchange to discuss matters related to the operation of the Tesla Gigafactory.
But Musk didn't do that.
Like Chen Xiao, he hates some cumbersome etiquette and likes to go straight to the point.
So Musk took a chartered flight directly to Changzezhou Airport, and took a special car directly to Changzezhou, the headquarters of Changtian Technology.
The global media also keenly captured this incident.
Domestic and foreign media rushed to Changzezhou like crazy, hoping to follow up on the news of Musk's visit to Changtian Technology.
This time Musk visits Changtian Technology and will definitely meet Chen Xiao.
Then there was really too much news about the two of them meeting.
First of all, the background of the meeting between the two people was that a large number of joint venture car companies were having a very difficult time operating in Xia State, and the market was being heavily squeezed by new energy vehicles.
Whether it is several new energy vehicle companies affiliated with Changtian Technology or Tesla owned by Musk, they are all representatives of new energy vehicles.
In this meeting, are the two sides talking about cooperation or competition?
Secondly, during the period of talks between the two parties, major European countries and automobile associations had just sent a large team of representatives to Changtian Technology, and they happened to be negotiating with Changtian Technology.
As for what the two sides talked about, and what kind of reaction the European automobile industry will have? It is still unknown to everyone.
No one knows whether Musk led his team to Changtian Technology because of the overall decline of the European automobile industry.
The last point is also very interesting.
Chen Xiao, the founder of Changtian Technology, is a technology madman in Xia State.
Won the National High-tech Technology Award three times.
He has been nominated for many Nobel Prizes in science and technology many times, but due to political reasons, the Nobel Prize Organizing Committee deliberately did not award the Nobel Prize to Chen Xiao.
At the same time, the technological products developed by Chen Xiao have greatly surpassed this era and brought the technological level of mankind a big step forward.
Musk is also a technology geek in the United States.
Tesla, owned by Musk, has ushered in a new era of new energy vehicles for mankind.
If Tesla hadn't suddenly entered the fuel vehicle market like a tyrant, the world's major fuel vehicle companies would still be living a good life.
Moreover, Musk's attention is not 100% on Tesla. He also has a lot of energy on Space X.
While producing Tesla cars.
The Space
Musk’s goal is to establish human colonies on the moon and Mars during his lifetime, allowing mankind to truly enter the interstellar era.
Musk's high-thrust rockets are very low-cost, so they don't care about the success rate at all.
Even if only one of every 10 launches is successful, its launch cost will be much lower than that of NASA, the U.S. aerospace agency.
Therefore, since Musk established the Space
Therefore, Musk is also hailed as the real technological hero of the 21st century.
It was the first time that two tech men met. Reporters were very curious, what kind of story would happen between the two people?
Chen Xiao is a very warm and hospitable person.
Since Musk has a Changtian Technology company coming to visit, Chen Xiao is of course willing to receive him very warmly.
And whether Musk is sincere or fake, he has indeed spent a lot of money to invest in Xia Guo, which has contributed to boosting Xia Guo's economy.
Before Changtian Technology launched new energy vehicles, Khosla had also severely beaten some domestic new energy vehicle companies that only received subsidies and did not interfere.
He taught the Xia State automobile companies what real scientific research and innovation and real new energy are, and also let the people of Xia State know which car companies are cheating on subsidies and do nothing but make dirty money.
Therefore, Musk’s Tesla has also made a positive contribution to clearing up Xia’s new energy vehicle industry.
Under these two backgrounds, Chen Xiao will certainly warmly receive Musk.
As soon as Musk got off the car, he saw Chen Xiao standing at the door of Changtian Technology Headquarters, greeting him.
Musk was a little flattered and hurriedly got out of the car, raised his hands and shook hands with Chen Xiao.
Musk is not a rough tough guy. Before he came to visit Changtian Technology, he had already asked his subordinates to do enough work.
He knew that the founder and real controller of Changtian Technology was Chen Xiao.
However, Chen Xiao only held the position of scientific research consultant in Changtian Technology and did not hold any administrative positions, not even the general manager or chairman.
Therefore, when many CEOs of technology companies or representatives from the political and business circles come to visit Changtian Technology, Chen Xiao usually does not come out to receive them.
Most of them are received by Wang Xiang or some vice presidents of Changtian Technology.
This time Chen Xiao personally came out to greet Musk, which of course made Musk very moved.
Reporters took photos frantically to record this historic moment.
Chen Xiao is also very open-minded and allows legal and compliant reporters to go to the park to interview Musk on matters related to the site system.
Of course, reporters were not allowed to enter the closed-door talks between the two sides.
Chen Xiao still had some feelings in his heart.
Before he was reborn, he was still doing scientific research now, but his achievements were far inferior to what he is now.
In Chen Xiao's mind, Musk is not only a technology madman, but also one of the leaders of human technology.
It’s not that Musk is a great person and has strong scientific research capabilities.
But Musk has extremely strong skills and has a group of human scientists with extremely strong scientific and innovative capabilities at his disposal.
These scientists are not just getting paid to live, but are truly contributing to human scientific research.
After the two parties met, Musk did not immediately put forward the conditions and content of his coming to negotiate with Zodiac this time. Instead, under the leadership of Chen Xiao, he visited the Changzezhou headquarters of Changtian Technology.
We focused on Changtian Technology’s chip laboratory, life sciences and medical laboratory, critical care center, life science and medical experiment subsidiary new energy laboratory, etc.
Musk arrived at Nagasawa Island at 9:00 in the morning and did not complete the visit until 6:30 in the evening.
During this period, he was like a student who asked for advice humbly. He listened more and saw more, but expressed less himself.
Musk seemed calm on the surface and rarely spoke, only looking and nodding.
But his heart was extremely shocked.
When he was in the United States, Musk heard about the power of Changtian Technology.
We also know that Changtian Technology Group is a complex technology and business company.
Changtian Technology's tentacles have penetrated into almost every aspect of human life.
Musk makes common technologies powerful, but he didn’t expect Changtian Technology to be so powerful.
The laboratory equipment and scientific research projects have already left several companies owned by Musk far behind.
After arriving at Changtian Technology's new energy laboratory, Musk felt real regret.
He thought that when he asked the scientists below to cooperate with the biological laboratory in the United States, he would overestimate his ability to crack the joint colony technology and microbial battery technology of Changtian Technology.
Today I took a look at some of the complex experimental equipment and the ultra-elite experimental team in the laboratory.
Musk knows that he really overestimates his capabilities and exaggerates.
After looking at the technical level of Changtian Technology, I am reviewing my own technical level.
Musk believes from the bottom of his heart that Changtian Technology is far ahead of any technology company in the United States.
The entire Xia Guo Technology Matrix Company driven by Changtian Technology is also constantly creating miracles, firmly leaving American technology companies behind.
Worship the strong.
This is one of the Western cultures.
Of course Musk also admires the strong.
He likes chatting with Chen Xiao very much.
Last night, Changtian Technology held a grand welcome banquet for Musk and his team.
Under the spotlight of the media, everyone believed that Musk and Chen Xiao had a very happy conversation.
There is even speculation that Changtian Technology is about to reach some cooperation agreement with Tesla.
Under the vigorous publicity of the media.
Europeans are extremely nervous.
In particular, members of some European automobile associations are very worried about the cooperation agreement reached between Changtian Technology and Tesla.
If Changtian Technology sells bio-batteries to Tesla, to be honest, it will instantly become very invincible.
Tesla is sold in all major car markets around the world.
And because Tesla is an American company, it entered the European market very early and has unimpeded access to the European market.
If Tesla gets the bio-battery, it will be sold in the European market.
This is really the end of the world, the home of the European automobile industry.
What you are hesitant and unwilling to fight for can easily be taken away by others.
Major companies from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
In the end, major companies from the Automobile Industry Association unanimously decided to abandon the controversy and safeguard the status of the European automobile industry.
They kept a close eye on Changzezhou of Xia Kingdom and also sent their team to Suhang City to stand by.
As long as Tesla and Changtian Technology sign a cooperation agreement, Europe will unconditionally agree to the negotiation plan provided by Changtian Technology.
The European Automobile Manufacturers Association believes that Tesla cannot be allowed to compete with the other to benefit under any circumstances.
Day 2.
Media around the world were asked to stay in the press conference room or leave, and were not allowed to enter the small conference room to broadcast the negotiations between Changtian Technology and Tesla live.
Of course, the reporters were unwilling to leave. They all stayed in the conference room, waiting for the outcome of the negotiations between the two parties.
Musk first expressed his gratitude to Chen Xiao. He was very happy to see such a developed scientific and technological industrial system in Changzezhou, as well as the very hard-working Xiaguo scientific researchers and workers.
"I am very lucky that Tesla's only super factory in the world is built in Xia Guo. Because Xia Guo has the world's hardest-working workers and the best scientists!"
Regardless of whether Musk's words were polite or not, they still sounded very nice.
Musk also said with some self-deprecation: "Because of your company's bionew energy vehicles, our super factory did not produce many Teslas last year. After all, all their orders were taken away by you."
"I believed 10 years ago that NIO's cars are new energy vehicles after all."
"But how to define new energy vehicles is a very serious topic."
"Ten years ago, I thought new energy vehicles were based on lithium batteries, but now it seems they are not."
Chen Xiao joked: "The birth of Tesla is of decisive significance to the progress of mankind."
"The first prototype of Changtian Technology's bio-new energy vehicle was developed using Tesla as a template."
Musk laughed and said: "It seems like I should feel very lucky."
After some pleasantries.
The two sides immediately entered the topic of negotiation.
"This time I came to have an interview with Mr. Chen. I just hope that the two sides can reach some cooperation."
"Currently, most of Tesla's batteries are purchased from Panasonic from Yutong Yang and Samsung Chemical from Samsung. A small part is purchased from CATL in Xia Guo."
"I'm thinking about a question. Since we buy Tesla's batteries, we can buy them from anyone. We hope to purchase Changtian Technology's bioenergy batteries."
Although Changtian Technology's team had long expected Musk's request, when they actually faced this moment, everyone still couldn't restrain the expression of joy on their faces.
what does that mean?
This means that Changtian Technology's bio-new energy vehicles have truly begun to occupy the market and have achieved decisive guiding significance.
Chen Xiao also said unceremoniously: "At present, the new energy vehicles under Changtian Technology have firmly grasped Xia Guo's automobile market."
"I believe that in the near future, we will definitely become the mainstream new energy vehicle in the Xiaguo market."
"Why should we build such a market to share with Tesla?"
Musk smiled and took a sip of tea and said: "Xia Guo is indeed the most important market in the world, but there is an issue worthy of our attention."
"The current number of cars in Xia Guo is 260 million. This figure is still very small compared to Xia Guo's population of 1.4 billion."
"And among these cars, most are cheap cars priced below RMB 100,000, so the profit of a single car is very small for the automobile company."
"The most popular car sold by Changtian Technology is the Haiyue Mini, a subsidiary of Haima Haiyue, followed by Haima Haiyue, which has the best configuration. In terms of sales volume, the strongest Cangqiong car has not yet been able to do so.
Competed with Haima Automobile.”
Chen Xiao nodded and did not deny it.
"This shows that Xia's economy is still in a developing country, its per capita income is still relatively low, and the cars it buys are mainly cheap cars, and the profits of cheap cars are very low."
"On the contrary, the number of cars in the United States is as high as 280 million. Both the total number of cars and the price of cars exceed Xia's."
"All 280 million cars in the United States will one day be replaced by new energy vehicles."
"I don't know if Mr. Chen is interested in the US market."
