Chapter 193: The Agreed Partner Stayed to Drink Celebration Champagne
Ye Hua didn't know why Bill Ford paid $10 to Herbert, but he didn't bother to pay attention. He looked away and continued: "With global unified standards..."
At this time, a German present said: "I'm sorry for interrupting you, Mr. Ye, but I think it is necessary. The speech you delivered at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference five days ago attracted the world's attention.
Although I was not able to witness that moment live, I have watched the video of your speech."
Ye Hua looked at the German and listened quietly. The other person also looked at him and continued: "The automotive field is the representative of industrial manufacturing. According to your judgment, when the automotive field introduces your company's emerging technologies, it means that
The traditional automobile industry itself will lose its original knowledge and continue to shrink. The automobile industry will have to pay a high fee to introduce your company's emerging technologies, which means giving up a lot of knowledge.
Huge profits, this seems to go against the principle of profit-driven cooperation."
After saying that, the big guys here were all waiting for his response. Ye Hua couldn't help but glance at the German. Facing the torch-like eyes of so many industry giants staring at him, he would have been the same age as Ye Hua.
The man's three legs were probably shaking in panic, but he remained calm as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly, Ye Hua stared at the German and asked: "Mr. Kruger, if a coachman asked you the same question more than a hundred years ago, what should you do and respond?"
Hearing this, Harald Krueger, CEO of the BMW Group, was at a loss for words and felt quite embarrassed.
Ye Hua added lightly: "Let me answer for you, backward production capacity, backward productivity, backward knowledge and technology are the past tense and obsolete products. Emerging technologies represent advanced production capacity and the future. We all will and can only
If you choose the future, that’s the only right choice, isn’t it?”
"With all due respect to Mr. Ye, the automobile industry is a representative of high-end manufacturing. It is true that your company has made remarkable achievements in holographic technology and artificial intelligence, but this does not mean that you can influence the global automotive industry. You
Your influence cannot radiate deeply into this industry, so why should global automakers follow your company's standards and pay you a large profit for it?"
The speaker was Zheng Mongjiu, chairman of South Korea's Hyundai Motor Group. At the end of his speech, he changed his tone of address to Ye Hua, from "you" to "you".
Although he was already an 83-year-old man, Ye Hua didn't buy it. When talking about business, he immediately said with a hint of regret and surprise in a half-smile: "President Zheng, I always thought that you have always been
You are a senior entrepreneur with outstanding vision, but when these words came out of your mouth, I was shocked and even more disappointed, but that’s all.”
"You..." The CEO of Hyundai Group turned pale after hearing the translation. He was not expected to be ridiculed mercilessly by such a junior in public. He snorted for a while but did not speak.
I don't think it's worth arguing with a junior.
Ye Hua then said: "Let me tell you why? It's the future!" After saying that, he was leaning back on the seat, then suddenly leaned forward, put one hand on the table, and then looked around everyone,
Said: "Isn't the biggest factor that attracts you here because of the future? President Zheng? What do you think?"
The other party didn't respond. Ye Hua suddenly smiled and leaned back on his chair. At this time, all the car giants present had a preliminary understanding of the crazy side of this young man. At this moment, all Americans who are arrogant
Without saying a word or answering, the Korean jumped out to test his tone, why not, and the German took the opportunity to shrink back.
For a moment, Ye Hua's smile remained unchanged and he continued: "Okay, the future seems illusory to talk about, so let's be honest. The introduction of the emerging technologies of our Coastline Company does not mean that the profits of the automobile industry will be damaged, and the value-added space it brings will
It is enough to offset the cost of paying for emerging technologies, not to mention that driverless driving will further open up the market, and people who cannot get a driver's license can still buy passenger cars. If you think this is not enough insurance, or it is not enough, then look at Japanese car companies
The future market share will be divided among you, are you satisfied?"
After saying that, Ye Hua put away his smile and turned his attention to the CEO of Hyundai Group, and said: "President Zheng, if you feel that you are not making money by coming here, isn't it because no one is forcing your company? Although this time it is
As an outsider, I boldly invite everyone to discuss and come up with a set of developer system standards, but participation or non-participation is entirely voluntary. If you feel uncomfortable, you can withdraw."
As soon as these words came out, the expression of the 80-year-old CEO of Hyundai Group changed slightly. He surprisingly did not respond, but chose to remain silent. During this period, he quickly glanced at the major automobile giants present.
, especially the Germans and Americans, found that all the Europeans and Americans acted as if nothing had happened, as if the matter had nothing to do with them, and they didn't even seem to hear what Ye Hua said just now.
Zheng Mengjiu secretly scolded these old bastards, they are all old foxes.
In fact, the big guys present now have preliminary judgments about Ye Hua. He is a completely ruthless character, and he makes no secret of it. The Japanese automobile company was abandoned by him without hesitation.
And it's so outspoken.
Even just now, it was like saying directly in front of Koreans: If you don’t want to play, get out!
Everyone present who is not an old fox also heard the implication of Ye Hua's words. This is a hint to everyone that Coastline Company has absolute confidence in emerging technologies. This confidence and madness tell everyone from the side that the global
There are hundreds of car companies and brands, but Coastline is unique and has a monopoly on emerging technologies.
Now call the big guys over to discuss how we can play together, but if you like to play, get out of here.
After seeing his temperament and recalling his past style, the big guys present can guarantee that if they don't play together, Ye Hua will definitely find someone else, such as Google, who has always wanted to make a difference in the automotive field.
Internet giant companies.
Coastline Company is indeed an outsider in the automotive field, and its lack of foundation and accumulation is its biggest shortcoming. However, this does not mean that Ye Hua cannot play. For example, Google has been tinkering with driverless car technology for a long time.
In short, Shoreline has no shortage of partners.
Inviting the old giants in the industry is exactly the reason why they are interested in their background. This is the basic premise for this meeting.
The big guys present realized that because Coastline Company is a complete layman in the automotive field, it wants to develop a set of standards this time. In fact, it is not to directly enter the automotive field, but to bundle PHC in the automotive field.
Sell on.
In other words, Coastline Company is just expanding the sales of PHC, and it wants to develop a unified standard to sell PHC better.
On the other hand, for Ye Hua, even the biggest failure is that it has hindered the expansion of PHC's sales in the automobile sector, not to mention that it may not be able to stop him.
After thinking about this, the car bosses present understood why Ye Hua could be so confident; after thinking about this, they had to re-evaluate and weigh this business meeting.
Whether it is worth offending Coastline Company is a big question that the big guys present need to weigh and judge the most.
At this time, the CEO of Hyundai Group felt a little regretful. He felt that he had been manipulated by Europeans and Americans, and now he was in a bit of embarrassment.
quit?
That's impossible. If you quit, what's the point of coming here?
Everyone present is a sensible person, and they are here because of two factors: future and interests.
After a short period of silence, Ye Hua said crisply: "My sincerity is to let everyone share the huge pie of Japanese car companies' future market share. This portion is enough to give everyone a hearty meal.
What I want is that everyone agrees with my standard solution, and future smart cars will introduce a unified standard system with on-board PHC as the core."
At the end, Ye Hua snapped his fingers, and everyone saw a group of waiters bringing champagne, and Ye Hua smiled and said: "Partners who agree, stay and drink celebratory champagne to celebrate our common future."
Except for Elon Musk, everyone else was stunned.
Such a major matter has to be finalized so hastily? What kind of international joke are you kidding?
This really caught everyone off guard. Now they finally realized why Ye Hua invited the global presidents of major automobile giants to the scene by name. Having all the leaders present means that decisions can be made on the spot. There is no excuse for evasion. If
I could still find an excuse to send an acting person in charge, but now the boss is here.
The heads of major automobile giants came in person out of respect and were treated as equals. After all, Coastline Company invited the company in the name of its founder and was also present. Although the automobile world and the technology world are somewhat different,
He is also a big-shot figure in the same echelon, so it would be better to simply decline to send an agent.
But now I realize that this may be a trick calculated by the other party.
This is a bit uncomfortable. Should I agree now or find a reason to think about it?
But if you are looking for an excuse, you have to face a difficult problem. Not agreeing now means not giving Ye Hua face. It is really a matter of two minds whether he can come in in the future. This is the first time they have experienced what kind of temper this Chinese person has.
, if you ignore him today, he may not treat you tomorrow.
And just when the major giants in the industry were hesitant, Ye Hua's divine assist came.
