Chapter 190: Big moves in the global automotive industry
Since February 3, PHC's pre-sales have continued for more than a month. The pre-sale data in the first month has reached 2.3 million units, far exceeding internal analysis and predictions. According to this trend and popularity, PHC's shipments this year have exceeded 2,000 units.
It's not a big problem at all, although it can't be compared with the shipments of hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions of PCs or smartphones.
But this does not mean that PHC is not popular, nor does it mean that PHC's profits are low. With a pre-sale volume of 2.3 million units, Coastline Company has already achieved sales of 100 million yuan before shipping, and has directly created nearly 7 billion yuan for this purpose.
If this year's target shipment volume of 20 million sets is achieved, the PHC product itself can bring in profits of 60 billion yuan.
The key is that this turnover amounted to more than 100 billion, which directly alleviated the financial shortage of Coastline Company.
In 2020, Coastline Company has not yet touched the butt of the Fortune Global 500, but with the release of PHC, this year, 2021, Coastline Company will not only be able to squeeze into the ranks of the Fortune Global 500, but it can already lock in the sales of PHC alone.
Be in the top 25 with at least $160 billion in sales.
However, it is worth mentioning that thanks to the explosive growth in revenue due to the release of PHC, the profit has not increased so exaggeratedly. Although PHC is expensive, due to the high cost price, the profit is not as high as that of the holographic movie projector.
So profitable.
However, where PHC makes money is not the hardware itself, but the holographic operating system Hos, Hos-Office, the artificial intelligence assistant Xiaoyin, and more importantly, the PHC app store. The real power comes later.
Even so, this is based on the fact that Coastline Company’s internal business is already robbing money all over the world compared to other external companies.
But Ye Hua is obviously not satisfied with this. He is still constantly improving and consolidating the moat for the PHC ecosystem. The automotive field is an important strategic layout point for him.
…
Daimler Group Headquarters, Stuttgart, Germany.
An invitation letter from Coastline Company was sent to the current CEO of Daimler Group, Olakaellenius, who had just taken over the reins of Daimler under the banner of the previous CEO Dieter Zesche.
group.
As the world's top automobile giant, Daimler Group's brands include Maybach, smart, amg, Unimog, and Mercedes-Benz.
At this time, Euler Kellenius called together the main executives of the group company and had a brief discussion on the matter.
"I admit that Coastline Company is a rising super giant. It is an authority in the field of holographic displays and is recognized by the world. But in the field of automobiles, I really don't know the brain circuit of that Chinese person. Why does he give orders to the world in the field of automobiles?
"A Daimler Group executive who attended the meeting said abruptly.
Obviously, he regarded Ye Hua's behavior as a kind of transgression and arrogance. Not everyone can play in the automobile industry. Which of the global automobile giants does not have a century-old history?
Moreover, there is still some arrogance and prejudice against the sudden rise of an emerging giant like Coastline Company, which is regarded as an upstart with no historical background. However, one has to admit that they are indeed giants and they make more profits than you. If we really meet
You still have to be polite.
Euler Kellenius frowned. He wanted to say something, but he gave up the idea. He had received some internal news. It was rumored that some time ago, Comcast Telecom, Time Warner, Disney and other American companies
The giants or consortiums had a round of confrontation with the coastline, and were ultimately defeated, and paid a price of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars every year.
"Idiot!" Euler secretly cursed at the executive. Even the major conglomerates in the United States failed to take advantage of that Chinese man and suffered heavy losses. If you despise such a person, you will definitely pay a heavy price.
At this time, another executive made a different voice: "Although it is uncomfortable for Coastline Company to launch a global call in the automotive field as an outsider, we must face up to the artificial intelligence technology it has mastered. I have received reliable information here.
According to news, the relationship between the head of Coastline Company and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been very good recently. If Tesla obtains the full support of Coastline Company’s artificial intelligence technology + holographic display technology, it will be in the future unmanned driving field.
, Tesla must be ahead of all the auto giants in the world, and I think Coastline Company’s invitation must be taken seriously enough.”
"There are dozens of car manufacturers in the world, but holographic technology and the most advanced artificial intelligence technology are currently only monopolized by Coastline Company. The application of these two technologies will also play an unparalleled role in the automotive field and cannot be ignored in any case.
A voice from this emerging giant."
Euler Kellenius listened to everyone's discussion for a long time, and finally spoke, saying to his assistant: "Arrange a special plane for me to go to China. With this invitation, I will go to the meeting in person."
…
At almost the same time, German automobile giants such as Volkswagen and BMW, and American giants such as Ford and General Motors were all discussing. They received an invitation from Coastline Company, and all were invited to go without exception.
However, Japan's Toyota, Nissan and Honda Motor Company suddenly became extremely sensitive and even more suspicious. All the world's famous automobile giants suddenly flew to the commercial capital of China. This matter must not be hidden from their top management.
In any case, the major automobile giants in the United States and Germany suddenly made this move, which is a big event for the entire automobile industry.
Japan, Toyota headquarters.
At this moment, in a room, a man wearing glasses was pacing back and forth, with a trace of worry and suspicion on his face. He is the fourth-generation grandson of the Toyota family and the current leader of the Toyota Group.
The leader is Akio Toyoda.
Toyota, as the largest auto giant in terms of sales among the global auto manufacturers, when this happened in the industry, all the heads of the auto giants headed by the United States and Germany suddenly went to the Chinese commercial capital at the same time.
, this made Akio Toyoda feel that something was wrong, and the feeling of being isolated became stronger in his heart.
What makes Akio Toyoda feel a little angry is that no car manufacturer, whether American or German, has disclosed any information to Toyota. This makes him feel more and more that these guys are doing something behind the back of Japanese car companies.
Shameful things.
After a while, a man with glasses hurriedly knocked on the door and came in. It was his assistant.
"Is there any news? Tell me quickly?" Akio Toyoda asked immediately.
"Your Excellency, President, according to the news from the overseas public relations department, among the eight major automobile manufacturing countries in the world, including the Americans and Germans, except for our country, the other seven major automobile manufacturers have received a letter from the head of Coastline Company.
We received invitation letters, and all of them were invited to go, and those who went were all global CEO-level figures. What was the specific matter... there is no further definite information." The assistant said respectfully.
"What? All the major car manufacturers from the seven major countries are gone? Only the Japanese car companies are excluded? What on earth does that Chinese guy want to do? Baga!!!"
