When Musk’s team learned about the cooperation plan between Changtian Technology in the hotel, Musk was shocked.
Musk didn't believe his ears at all.
No matter from what perspective, Changtian Technology will definitely cooperate with Tesla.
The cooperation between the two parties seems to be just a signature.
Why did Changtian Technology suddenly stop cooperating?
To be precise, Changtian Technology is not uncooperative and has shelved cooperation negotiations.
Soon Musk was keenly aware of the news from Europe.
Europe has entered into a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Changtian Technology.
Not only will Changtian Technology's products be unimpeded in Europe, there will be no policy or business barriers.
The most important thing is that many European car companies have begun to purchase bioenergy batteries from Changtian Technology.
That is to say, it won’t be long before a large number of automobile companies such as Volkswagen, Peugeot, and even BBA will use Changtian Technology’s bio-batteries.
This means that the global automobile industry has completed a new industrial upgrade.
Fuel vehicles will gradually be phased out. This is still a trivial matter. The most important thing is that new energy vehicles with ternary lithium batteries will be phased out soon after they are introduced.
If Europeans don't play with lithium battery new energy technology, Xia Guo will start a bionew energy technology revolution.
So who is still playing with the new energy technology of lithium batteries?
American Tesla?
Or those Japanese car companies?
After thinking about this, Musk's heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, I fully understood Changtian Technology’s strategy.
Musk sighed deeply.
He had to admire Chen Xiao's brilliance.
Chen Xiao is not only a scientific research genius, but also a business genius.
Changtian Technology has been able to survive in such fierce global competition and achieve such great achievements.
This is indeed inseparable from Chen Xiao's step-by-step approach and foresight.
Although Musk was unhappy inside, he was still very calm on the surface.
But the high-cost people below Musk only feel extremely angry.
"Mr. Musk, we must lodge a stern protest against this impolite behavior of Changtian Technology!"
"Their press conference told the outside world that they were about to reach an agreement with us, but now they have backhanded us!"
"That's right, sir! We can't swallow this breath no matter what!"
"I suggest that we return to the United States immediately and suspend negotiations with Changtian Technology!"
Look at the angry expressions of the subordinates.
Musk also laughed helplessly.
"Have you been angry about Changtian Technology's betrayal of trust?"
Musk took a sip of tea and said: "However, neither Changtian Technology's official statement nor the press conference spokesperson's announcement to the media said that we have reached a cooperation agreement. It can only be said that our negotiations are relatively friendly.
of."
"Before a cooperation agreement is reached in black and white, it is understandable for either party to go back on its word."
After Musk came to Xia Kingdom, he gradually became accustomed to drinking tea.
He suddenly understood that the tea ceremony might also be in line with the character of Xia people.
It tastes bitter in the mouth, but after seeing you again, it is warm and sweet.
This is different from coffee.
Coffee is very bitter though.
But it has a strong aroma.
Of course Musk knew what Chen Xiao was up to.
Chen Xiao is taking advantage of the opportunity of negotiating with himself to stimulate the European automobile industry.
Now it has directly taken over European car companies, and is using European inspections and the fact that European cars are about to trial Changtian Technology's technology to blackmail itself.
This man really knows how to play.
But now it is definitely unrealistic for Musk to bring his team back to the United States in anger.
If Musk returns to the United States now, it will mean that the negotiations between Changtian Technology and Tesla are completely broken.
Tesla will also completely lose the opportunity to use bionew energy batteries.
Starting from the second half of this year, next year at most, and the middle of next year at most, most car companies around the world will use bionew energy batteries.
Tesla using ternary lithium batteries will become very passive.
Being passively beaten is not what Musk is looking for when he comes to Xia Country.
Musk drank all the tea in the cup and said very firmly: "Let's talk, keep talking. Now that Changtian Technology has not refused to cooperate with us, it means that Chen Xiao still hopes to reach an agreement with Tesla."
.”
"We don't know what the conditions of Changtian Technology are yet, and it's hard to bargain."
Although Tesla's executives were very unhappy, since Musk had said this, they could only follow Musk's request and proactively contact Changtian Technology again, hoping to get a real quotation from Changtian Technology.
And right now in Spain.
A grand car rolling off the assembly line ceremony is now underway.
Saab's factory in Spain has fully introduced new energy vehicle production lines.
A large number of technical teams were directly transferred from the Haima Haiyue production line to the Saab production line.
The appearance and interior of Saab's new off-line cars are exactly the same as those of Haima Haiyue.
But the car logo is definitely different.
Of course, the car's steering wheel position and some safety configurations are configured in accordance with EU requirements.
On this day, Saab's new car rolled off the assembly line. Simpson and many leaders from Spain's Ministry of the Interior came to the Saab car factory.
A large amount of media is also concentrated here.
This incident is a big deal for Spain.
After all, Changtian Technology has promised to invest hundreds of millions or even more than 1 billion euros in Spain.
Saab has also just established the first phase of production lines and factories, which is still the initial investment.
If the sales of Saab cars in Europe are very impressive, Changtian Technology will definitely make additional investment.
It is precisely because of this that Spain attaches great importance to it.
Because the Saab factory has basically solved the employment problem of thousands of people, and will solve the employment problem of tens of thousands of people in the future.
This is to actually solve the difficulties for the Spanish government, rather than like some EU countries that say they support Spain, but in fact they only support it verbally.
At the entrance of the Saab factory.
Hundreds of reporters and tens of thousands of factory workers and workers' families gathered together.
Under the witness of everyone.
Simpson finished cutting the ribbon, and the first Saab car slowly drove out of the factory.
The crowd cheered.
Although the configuration and model of Saab cars are basically the same as those of Haima Haiyue cars.
But its painting is very Spanish.
This makes Spanish people feel that although Saab is a Swedish brand, it is produced and rolled off the assembly line in Spain, so it is a Spanish car.
Simpson said proudly in front of everyone: "Saab's first new car is rolling out today. This is just our first step. In the future, we will produce more new energy Saab cars in Europe."
"We will take practical actions to implement the Paris Climate Agreement and make Europe's skies bluer and the air clearer!"
"Saab cars will also serve car users around the world with the best energy-saving performance and super safety!"
Simpson looked at the dense crowd in the audience and felt very emotional.
Such is the transformation of life.
Sometimes hard work is only part of it, and more important is opportunity.
If Simpson hadn't brought Nokia to Xia State and hadn't gone to great lengths to negotiate with Chen Xiao, how could we be here today?
Many of Nokia's top executives have already left the business world.
Among them, several vice presidents went out to start their own businesses after leaving Nokia. Not only did they not earn a penny, they also owed a huge amount of foreign debt.
But if Simpson hadn't worked hard for Nokia and hoped to reach an agreement with Changtian Technology, how could he be favored by Chen Xiao?
Today, many media evaluate Simpson in this way.
"The King of Europe! The spokesperson of Changtian Technology in Europe."
At the same time, Simpson also announced the sales price of this Saab car in Europe on behalf of Saab.
The total price is 32,000 euros.
Far lower than Tesla’s sales price of 38,000 euros in Europe.
If converted into RMB, according to the current exchange rate, it is approximately 240,000 RMB.
You should know that the price of a Haima Haiyue car with the same configuration in Xia Guo is only 140,000 RMB.
Europeans' aesthetics and usage requirements are still different from those of Xia people.
Therefore, Saab also launched a smaller car, which is slightly smaller than the Haima and Haiyue, and is about the same size as a Golf. It is a hatchback.
The total selling price is 28,000 euros.
This price is in competition with golf.
Because currently the most sold compact car in Europe is the Golf.
But you must know that Saab cars do not need to be refueled. Energy prices in Europe are not only higher than those in the United States. After the relationship with Russia deteriorated, gasoline prices also continued to rise.
Currently, the price of No. 92 gasoline corresponding to Xia Guo has reached about two euros, which is about 14 yuan RMB.
The most convenient transportation between European countries and cities is to drive a car.
So if you buy a fuel car, the cost of gasoline will still be very high.
But the hatchback version of the Saab car will not burn any gasoline for a lifetime, which is very energy-saving.
Therefore, in the competition between Saab and Golf, who will win is almost decided on paper.
There were also some representatives of the public on the stage.
These representatives were a little anxious, but also a little excited.
Because they know that Volkswagen has just reached a cooperation agreement with Changtian Technology.
Soon the public will also be able to get bionew energy batteries.
As long as they get the new bioenergy batteries, they will be used in European models for the first time in best-selling models such as the Golf.
But there is also a time difference and price difference.
During this window period, if Saab can quickly occupy the market.
It is also a serious challenge for the public.
When Simpson announced the prices of the two models, many reporters in the automobile industry knew immediately that Saab cars would be hot sellers.
The leaders of relevant departments in Spain are very happy this time.
After the leader took over Simpson's microphone, he was very happy and excited.
In a European society where votes are the highest priority, Saab is building a factory here and increasing employment. The public's support for local managers must be very high.
After all, employment can bring income to the people. As long as the people have income, they may be very satisfied with the current management.
This Spanish leader said very excitedly: "We very much welcome Saab's investment in Spain! We firmly believe that Spain will continue to and permanently become another factory in Europe. Our family produces the largest number of new energy vehicles in Europe! We will serve Europe for
Make your due contribution to environmental protection!”
Changtian Technology's production line is very intelligent. This batch is Saab cars, and a total of 5,000 units have rolled off the production line.
These 5,000 cars will be sold to all parts of Europe without any obstacles, except of course the bastard UK.
Both Changtian Technology and people in the automotive industry are paying close attention to the sales of Saab cars in Europe this time.
If the sales of Saab cars can meet everyone's expectations, then this shows that Changtian Technology's strategy is successful.
Among them, Musk is of course the most concerned.
If Changtian Technology succeeds in Europe, then the US market, which is already dispensable, will not be taken seriously by Changtian Technology.
If Musk cooperates with Changtian Technology, his wishes will be completely frustrated.
If Tesla loses the mainstream market in Asia, it will lose the entire European market.
So the only place where Tesla can survive is in the United States.
There is simply no way for Tesla to survive in the United States.
Tesla's production costs will remain high and its competitiveness will become increasingly low.
It will eventually be eliminated by the market.
Of course, the most populous place in the world is also a virgin territory for electric vehicles.
This is the vast Africa and the populous India.
However, the infrastructure in these two places is very underdeveloped. Let alone electric vehicles, even homes and shopping malls often experience power outages.
The power load is seriously insufficient.
To allow these places to use ternary lithium battery electric vehicles.
Isn't this a joke?
Soon good news came from the European market.
5,000 Saab cars were distributed in five European countries, and almost all were sold out in one day.
Saab is a well-known old brand in Europe, with high popularity and audience. In addition, now that you don’t need to refuel when buying a car, it is very cost-effective. Of course, everyone is flocking to it.
If Haima cars are sold in Europe, it will take a lot of time to develop the European market.
So it is only natural that Saab, which has a history of hundreds of years, has achieved considerable sales.
Seeing such sales results, Saab Automobile's executives were very excited!
They are extremely lucky to have received investment from Changtian Technology, and they are extremely lucky to have received investment from Changtian Technology.
For the older generation of Saab people, it doesn't actually matter who is the capital behind this car brand.
Most importantly, the brand survives.
And many European car brands cannot survive.
When the public sees such sales results, they have mixed feelings in their hearts!
A European brand that had disappeared for a long time was able to achieve such hot sales after acquiring Changtian Technology's technology.
So if Volkswagen switches to new energy vehicles, they will definitely sell well!
Volkswagen seizes the time to connect with Changtian Technology, hoping to get Changtian Technology's new energy battery as soon as possible.
Musk is patiently waiting for Changtian Technology’s new offer.
