Chapter 926: Strongly returning to the Western market (2)
The negotiation condition proposed by Musk is the American automobile market.
After Wang Xiang and his team heard what Musk said, although they had expected it, their hearts were still moved.
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 American people do not have the habit of saving money, so they are very happy to spend.
Just like Musk said.
In Xia Guo, a Haima Haiyue car can sell for more than 100,000 yuan at most, and the best-selling mini car is tens of thousands of yuan.
But if you sell the car to the United States, the situation is completely different.
The per capita ownership of the United States is actually higher than that of Xia, and the total number of cars is also higher than that of Xia.
Although Americans don't care about gasoline consumption or environmental protection, they do care about the performance of their cars.
Bioenergy vehicles accelerate much faster than fuel vehicles, and their driving range is much longer than that of gasoline. In addition, the driving comfort and smoothness are far superior to fuel vehicles.
Therefore, if you sell bionew energy vehicles to the United States, you must not talk about environmental protection and energy conservation with them, but talk about the performance of the car.
But the US market is also very difficult.
It is especially difficult for Xiaguo enterprises like Changtian Technology.
Apart from selling its biomedical technology to the United States, Changtian Technology has not sold any 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.
But Xia's products can never 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 originally hoped to see some surprise or a strong change in his eyes from Chen Xiao's face.
But it's a pity that it doesn't.
Chen Xiao's eyes were very calm from beginning to end.
It seems that this thing is expected.
It also seems that Chen Xiao is not interested in entering the US market.
Musk originally wanted to propose such a plan to take the initiative in the negotiations.
Chen Xiao was unmoved, which made Musk feel a little embarrassed.
Chen Xiao tapped the table with his finger and said: "Mr. Musk, can you tell me specifically what you think?"
Musk laughed and said: "What I mean is that Tesla can buy Changtian Technology's new bioenergy batteries, and at the same time, we are willing to help Changtian Technology's cars enter the US market."
"I have formulated a plan in detail. Mr. Chen Xiao can take a look at it."
Musk sent over the plan.
Chen Xiao looked at the plan in detail.
The content of the plan is actually relatively concise.
Musk is willing to establish a joint venture in the United States with Changtian Technology.
Each party holds a 50% stake in selling bioenergy vehicles in the United States.
Musk will try every means to get this joint venture a license 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 browsed the plan and smiled.
This smile made Musk feel very puzzled.
Do you agree or disagree?
Chen Xiao looked at Musk.
Musk's eyes were actually somewhat evasive.
This is the first time ever.
Because Musk has something on his mind.
Of course Chen Xiao knew what Musk was thinking.
Musk drew a big pie, which is the American market.
It seems that the car ownership in the United States is very high, and the per capita consumption in the United States is also very high.
It's like taking a car to the United States and picking up money with your eyes closed.
But Musk also deliberately ignored a very important issue.
That is, the United States has become saturated with cars.
The United States has long been known as a country on wheels, which is enough to explain the high number of cars.
And America and Xia are different.
Although Xia Guo does not have the scrapping age and scrapping kilometers of cars.
But there are various fancy restrictions.
For example, after the implementation of the National 4 standards, the National 5 standards will be implemented immediately, and then the National 6 standards will be implemented immediately.
Cars that implement the National VI and National IV standards cannot be traded.
This has forced National IV vehicles to be eliminated in disguise.
In the United States, they don't care about you that much.
No matter whether your car is modified or has been driven for decades, they will not care about you.
And because fuel in the United States is extremely cheap and the population is sparsely populated, people's internal drive to replace new energy vehicles is obviously not as strong as in Xia's country.
Therefore, Musk hopes to use a market that is unlikely to be tapped into in exchange for the advanced bioelectronics technology of Changtian Technology.
Although Chen Xiao has not been to the United States since his rebirth, he has 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 to get people in this country to replace their fuel vehicles with new energy vehicles, but it will take a lot of time and energy.
Under the current circumstances, completing such cooperation is obviously detrimental to Changtian Technology.
What's more, the two parties have established a joint venture to sell Changtian Technology's new energy vehicles in the United States.
Tesla still wants to own 50% of the shares.
This is making money with your eyes closed.
And once you sign this plan, you sign it for 10 years.
During the 10-year period, Changtian Technology must provide Tesla with bionew energy batteries at market prices.
As for whether to buy Tesla or not, that’s Tesla’s problem.
Musk is indeed a very shrewd businessman.
All calculations have been done.
Chen Xiao did not immediately reject Musk. Changtian Technology was bound to enter the US market.
No matter this market is a savage beast or a gentle and beautiful woman.
But Changtian Technology absolutely cannot enter the US market in this way.
Moreover, Chen Xiao also wants to use Musk to continuously 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 rich.
The situation in Europe is much more special.
Therefore, Chen Xiao did not immediately agree to cooperate with Musk, nor did he immediately refuse.
I just wanted to discuss it.
This is also a delaying tactic.
After the two sides concluded their talks.
Musk returned to the Changtian Technology headquarters and was in the hotel.
Neither he nor his team rested immediately.
Instead, an emergency meeting was held to analyze and review today's negotiations.
Musk and his team believe that Changtian Technology is likely to agree to the conditions proposed by Musk.
Even if you don't agree 100%, there will only be some minor modifications to the plan.
Because the American market is so attractive.
The U.S. market is equivalent to the entire European market combined.
At the same time, the Xiaguo automobile market is also very large.
Moreover, there is almost a misaligned competition between Tesla and Changtian Technology’s other new energy vehicles.
Even if Tesla uses Changtian Technology's bioenergy batteries, it will not affect the lives of Changtian Technology's subordinates and the sales of new energy vehicles.
Under this situation, Musk firmly believes that both parties will agree to the cooperation agreement between the two parties.
As for Chen Xiao, after returning to the office, she did not continue to discuss the negotiations with Musk with Wang Xiang and other senior officials.
Wang Xiang understood instantly after seeing Chen Xiao's eyes.
In the negotiations with Musk, it does not matter whether a cooperation agreement can be obtained. The most important thing is to continue to delay time.
Therefore, Wang Xiang also cooperated with Chen Xiao to release smoke bombs to the outside world.
The press spokesman of Changtian Technology also immediately announced relevant information about the negotiations between the two parties.
Said both sides have made positive progress.
After this news was announced.
Major media outlets around the world have reported on it.
Everyone agreed that Changtian Technology and Tesla were about to form a cooperation agreement.
It is very likely that Tesla’s future batteries will use bio-batteries from Changtian Technology.
Of course, Changtian Technology's unilateral news is not 100% accurate, nor can it make reporters 100% credible.
So many reporters asked Tesla's spokesperson.
Tesla's spokesperson, after receiving Musk's instructions, also believes that Changtian Technology is about to reach a cooperation with Tesla.
Therefore, I also agree with Changtian Technology’s statement and press release.
There is such a tacit understanding between the two parties, which further strengthens the media's ideas.
A cooperation agreement is about to be reached between Changtian Technology and Tesla.
When the European side heard that the negotiations between Changtian Technology and Tesla were about to succeed, they became completely anxious.
The European Automobile Association could not endure it any longer. After reporting to the relevant EU departments, it immediately sent representatives to Changzezhou and fully agreed to Changtian Technology's requirements.
All cars of the European Automobile Manufacturers Association are allocated to cooperation agreements signed with Changtian Technology.
I agreed with Changtian Technology’s last revised plan.
The most important content is that if car companies affiliated with 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 Changchun Technology's standards.
All products of Changtian Technology can be sold in Europe and will not be subject to high tariffs.
In addition, these automobile companies will purchase bionew energy batteries at market prices.
The price of bio-batteries sold by Changtian Technology is only slightly 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 still feel uncomfortable.
I originally thought that the price of bio-battery would be very cheap, but I didn't expect that it is only slightly cheaper than lithium battery.
But everyone had no choice but to accept the price.
Because biological batteries have never been sold to the outside world, the only ones used are three automobile companies affiliated with Changtian Technology.
These three automobile companies are all wholly-owned holding companies of Changtian Technology, or holding companies holding more than 50% of the shares.
There is simply no way to know the specific price at which they purchased Changtian Technology's bio-batteries.
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 biological company for use in the production of bio-new energy vehicles.
Volkswagen even couldn't wait to announce on its official website around the world that it was about to launch a new bio-energy vehicle.
As soon as this news from Volkswagen 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 vehicles will definitely be eliminated.
Moreover, Volkswagen has also chosen its future development direction. Lithium battery new energy vehicles must say goodbye to Volkswagen. Volkswagen is about to embrace bio-based new energy vehicles.
Volkswagen has also stepped up efforts to promote bio-based new energy vehicles in Xia Guo.
It also stated that Volkswagen’s first bio-new energy vehicle will roll off the assembly line in no more than half a year.
Not just Volkswagen, but all European auto companies have made the same choice.
The collective stance of the entire Europe has directly shaken the traditional foundation of the automobile industry.
The first is that traditional fuel vehicle stocks have plummeted globally.
What followed was a significant drop in the prices of lithium batteries, lithium mines and lithium battery related ancillary products.
As for Australia's lithium mine, more than 10 global companies originally hoped to bid for it, but the starting price has been more than 10 times higher than the originally scheduled starting price.
After the European Automobile Manufacturers Association announced the cooperation agreement with Changtian Technology, more than 10 companies that were originally planning to purchase lithium mines all withdrew their bids.
Australia's lithium mines suddenly became worthless.
Among human industrial products, apart from lithium batteries, very little lithium is used. This has directly driven the price of lithium mines back to 10 years ago.
The saddest thing is of course the Japanese automobile companies.
European automobile companies have collectively turned to Changtian Technology. What should the Japanese automobile companies do?
Changtian Technology has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Simpson immediately held a meeting at Changtian Technology's European headquarters.
Three things were determined.
The first thing is that Saab has already produced many models in Spain, and they will be put on sale throughout Europe as soon as they wait for EU approval.
With Germany and France helping behind the scenes, the progress should not be too slow.
The second thing is that it has already been discussed by the European Parliament. Zemeng wearable devices and Hanhai mobile phones equipped with the latest Jinghong chips can be immediately put on sale in various European countries.
Changtian Technology's factory in Nokia will immediately increase production capacity and seize the time to produce Hanhai mobile phones and 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.
Xia's market is open to European automobile companies, so of course the cars owned by Changtian Technology will also enter the European market.
The European economy is not doing well, and people's consumption levels have been downgraded.
So the only one to enter the European market is Haima Haiyue Automobile.
Changtian Technology's entire line of products returned to the Western market almost immediately.
At this moment, Chen Xiao is standing at the top.
Whether it is several automobile companies affiliated to Changtian Technology or European automobile companies, they are all using Changtian Technology's products.
Therefore, no matter who wins or loses in the competition between them, the profit impact of Changzhangtian Technology is actually limited.
At this time, Wang Xiang also followed Chen Xiao's wishes and directly rejected Musk's plan.
