The construction of the Qianmi Building was officially started in Japan, which marked the coming of an era. An era in which the Zhang Group officially invested in Japan on a large scale.
The Zhang Group now has funds and technology. These things cannot be put in one basket. The scale of the private sector is already quite large, and there are not many places to spend money.
There are enough industries in China, and there are large-scale investments in Europe and the United States. Money begets money, and now with holographic simulation technology, Zhang Fan already has enough say, so investment abroad has also begun.
.
Just when the Thousand Meter Building was under construction, Toyota Japan officially started a negotiation. Toyota had been looking forward to this negotiation for a long time, but when the day actually came, Toyota had mixed feelings.
In the era of electric vehicles, Toyota fell behind. Now fuel vehicles have completely come to an end. Many countries have formulated timetables for banning the sale of fuel vehicles. Even Japan has formulated a ban on fuel vehicles in Japan in two years.
It will be officially implemented in Europe, China, and the United States at the end of this year. For Toyota, there is no way out. It has spent huge sums of money on research and development in the past two years, but it has been far behind in electric vehicle technology.
open.
There are a large number of patents that cannot be circumvented. The most insurmountable thing is the battery. Although Japanese battery companies are doing their best in research and development, they still have not developed an all-solid-state battery.
As for lithium batteries, they are almost obsolete now. Now not only luxury brands, but also some ordinary brands of mid-size cars are beginning to use all-solid-state batteries.
As for Tesla, all new generation models are preparing to use third-generation all-solid-state batteries. One step behind will lead to falling behind. Even if Toyota has technology and quality control, in the era of electric vehicles, it is useless without battery life.
Tesla has been preparing for life-or-death negotiations for so long, and its knife has already been sharpened. It is difficult for Japanese brands now. Even Toyota is on the verge of bankruptcy, not to mention other brands.
Honda, which shares its name with Toyota, is now focused on electric motorcycles. Nissan has filed for bankruptcy, and Suzuki went bankrupt two years ago.
The most prosperous thing in life is Mazda, which was acquired by Tesla. Now Mazda's global sales are very high. The beautiful appearance, Tesla's technology and quality control have made Mazda prosperous in the global market.
Today's Toyota is not as good as the Huaxia electric car brand. Although the Huaxia electric car brand has been doing OEM work and selling body-molded cars in recent years, it has made profits.
Although I don’t have strong R&D capabilities, Tesla does, and Tesla lets me use it. But Toyota doesn’t, and Tesla doesn’t let me use it.
In the conference room, the Toyota family members looked at Tesla's agreement with extremely sad expressions. Although they were prepared to be stabbed severely, when the stabbing came, they were still very angry.
Harsh, extremely harsh conditions. At the current stock price, Tesla acquired 51% of Toyota's shares and took full control. Tesla has management rights.
The Toyota brand is retained, but the power research and development center is removed. In other words, Toyota will no longer develop electric motors and batteries from now on. This area is controlled by Tesla.
At the same time, Lexus and Tesla, owned by Toyota, also want to hold a controlling stake, and the holding ratio is as high as 75%.
The harsh conditions made Toyota's controller look extremely expressionless.
"Mr. Liu, are these conditions too harsh?"
The person in charge of Toyota raised his head and said seriously.
"No, no, no, Mr. Toyota, it's not harsh at all. Believe it or not, if we take this condition to Honda, Honda will happily accept it."
Mr. Liu smiled and said, feeling proud in his heart. Once upon a time, Toyota was so arrogant and powerful. But now, they must accept even the harsh conditions.
"Mr. Toyota, at least the Toyota brand is still there, isn't it? This is the best result. If you don't agree, it's okay, we can get together and part ways. We won't waste too much of your time. But it's not with us Tes
With cooperation, can Toyota survive until the end of this year?"
Mr. Liu's words made the person in charge of Toyota sigh. How can it survive until the end of this year? According to Toyota's current debt, if it does not get better, it will be difficult to survive for a month.
Without Tesla's technical cooperation, especially battery technology, Toyota will have no way out.
In this world, only Tesla has mastered all-solid-state batteries. All other competitors have been beaten to death by Tesla.
Even Japan's battery manufacturers are now being crippled by the Zhang Group. It is not known how long it will take to develop an all-solid-state battery. Even if it is developed, it will not be comparable to Tesla in terms of price.
No concessions were made. There was no favor in this negotiation. The negotiation only took an hour, and the Toyota family agreed to all the conditions.
For the Toyota family, the relationship between Toyota and them is no longer the same as before. Toyota in the future will be Tesla's Toyota and Zhang Fan's Toyota. The Toyota family is just a shareholder of Toyota.
Even the management rights are no longer there, Tesla directly appoints the person in charge. Tesla has the final say on all the rules.
But this is the best result. At least the Toyota brand is still there, and the Toyota family still has shares. Otherwise, Toyota may become the next Hyundai and file for bankruptcy. Otherwise, Toyota may become the next Hyundai and file for bankruptcy.
"Tesla controls Toyota, Toyota joins Tesla camp"
"Completely controlled Toyota PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"
“Welcoming a new life, Toyota is controlled by Tesla, and the new generation Camry will be equipped with all-solid-state batteries.”
"Toyota announced that it will stop producing all fuel vehicles and all models will be updated."
When the news broke, everyone was not surprised at all. Tesla controls Toyota and Lexus, which is not surprising at all.
Everyone is well aware of the situation in the past two years, which has been a major reshuffle of car brands. The era of electric vehicles is a new era, and the king of the fuel era has completely failed in this era.
The world's largest automobile group, Tesla Group. It owns American brands, German brands, Italian brands, Chinese brands, and Japanese brands.
From the most expensive super sports cars to ordinary Volkswagen brands. From engineering vehicles to buses, from military vehicles to cars. Today, the Tesla Group has become an all-round electric vehicle manufacturer.
The most frightening thing is that the Tesla Group is not listed. Without a listing, there is no risk of going public. At the same time, it has large-scale cash flow and a strong R&D system that can concentrate its strength on technology.
A new technology can quickly become competitive through its brands, and then turn into cash. Now, all major car companies in the world, as long as they are successful, have something to do with Tesla. Today's Tesla,
It is already a super automobile group with complete monopoly power.
