Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"This is a complete contract. The two CEOs can take a look. If there are no problems, you can sign and seal it."

Longguo Shencheng.

Longxing Group Headquarters Base.

In the office on the top floor of the office building, the lawyers of both parties have put down their pens and put the negotiated formal contract in front of Chen Xing and Zhang Ming.

Since it is ByteDance that is invested, Chen Xing reads it very carefully.

Maybe no one understands the value of ByteDance now, but in two or three years, its 30% equity will be enough to support the daily expenses of Longxing Group, even R\u0026D expenses and expansion expenses.

You have to know that short video users can kill all groups.

About ten minutes later, Chen Xing put down the formal contract and looked at Zhang Ming and said, "I have no problem here, I can sign it at any time."

"Me too."

Zhang Ming also put down the contract and said.

Both parties agreed, Lei Jun also smiled and continued to match them up, saying, "What are you waiting for, sign the contract."

He also saw that Chen Xing and Zhang Ming were getting what they needed.

Chen Xing is optimistic about short videos and wants to use the international version of short videos to further expand the overseas market. Zhang Ming needs big data and core algorithms to accurately identify users' preferences and then push videos of interest.

The adult world is not like children's loyalty. It is normal to take what you need and complement each other's shortcomings.

Why do so many people like to make friends with professions such as doctors, police, and teachers, and even spend a lot of money to organize a party?

It's very simple.

When they need it, they can provide value.

If you know a doctor in a tertiary hospital, you can get an expert number through internal channels and directly avoid waiting for several months.

The same is true for teachers. From small tables to large schools, as long as you have a good relationship, they can help operate.

And why do schools like to invite "successful" students to return to school for speeches?

To put it bluntly, it's still for donations.

The essence of social operation is to take what you need. As long as you have the value that others need, you can use your "chips" to make friends, instead of talking about loyalty like a child, which will only make others block your WeChat when they go home.

Because they both needed what they wanted, Chen Xing and Zhang Ming didn't waste time and completed the signing in less than two minutes.

Three contracts, each holding one, and one for notarization.

"Mr. Chen, happy cooperation."

Zhang Ming took the initiative to stand up and extend his hand.

Although he is four or five years older than Chen Xing, this is not a family meeting. Age does not increase the right to speak. Only the company's market value, social status, and sufficient liquidity can increase the right to speak. At present, it is obvious that Chen Xing is better than Zhang Ming.

"Happy cooperation."

Chen Xing stood up and shook hands in response.

After both parties sat down again, Lei Jun put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Chen Xing and said: "There is one more thing..."

He made a look, indicating the lawyer who was still in the office drafting the contract.

Lei Jun's meaning was very clear, that is, it was not convenient to say it because there were outsiders present. Chen Xing could naturally understand what he meant and waved his hand and said: "You go out first."

"Okay, President."

The lawyer of Longxing Group left first.

Zhang Ming also made a look, and the lawyer he called just hesitated for a second and also left the office quickly.

With only Chen Xing, Lei Jun and Zhang Ming left in the office, Lei Jun also said: "Masik and Modu officially signed a gambling agreement. Do you know about this incident?"

"Yes."

Chen Xing nodded slightly.

The circle of entrepreneurs in Longguo is very small. If there is any disturbance in the country, it will basically spread to everyone's ears through various means or channels within three days.

Besides, as a reborn person, he knew earlier than anyone that Masik was going to sign a gambling contract with Modu.

The reason is very simple, that is, Masik's Tesla can't make it in Europe and the United States. The interest chain he touched is too big, and even Angsa Capital can't keep him.

As we all know, since the development of the prototype of fuel vehicles, a large number of patented technologies have been controlled by Western developed countries. Even if Japanese cars have risen later, the market is mostly dominated by German, British, French and American cars.

If you develop electric cars and surpass fuel vehicles in all aspects, won't the pattern of the automotive field be reshuffled?

Can the United States accept a reshuffle?

Can Germany, Britain, and France accept a reshuffle?

Or can Japan and South Korea accept a reshuffle?

Because the interest chain is too big, Tesla has been suppressed in the European and American markets. Even Angsa Capital dare not help Masik's Tesla, and can only let it fend for itself.

Faced with the inherent pattern, Masik can only seek a larger blue ocean market to break through.

At the beginning, he was interested in Guxiang Country, thinking that Guxiang Country's labor costs were low, and the annual sales of cars were increasing. In addition, the market research report pointed out that 90% of Guxiang people's families did not buy cars.

90% of Guxiang families do not have cars, which means full potential.

As the world's fifth largest economy, 90% of families do not have cars. Faced with such a "blue ocean market", Masik naturally has to conduct a field investigation and select the factory address.

However, he didn't know until he came to Guxiang Country. He was stunned.

Wealth is polarized, 1% of the rich, 3% of the middle class, and 6% of the well-off civilians control 95% of the society's wealth.

Except for the capital New Delhi, other places are no different from slums.

Let alone promoting electric vehicles, fuel vehicles are rare outside the capital, which is definitely not the market that Masick wants.

If we have to enter the ancient Elephant Kingdom market, Masik feels that we should design an electric car instead of an electric car.

After that, Masik came to Longguo. After half a year of inspection, he found that the social and economic wealth distribution in Longguo was fairly balanced. At least ordinary families could afford cars. The most important thing was that Longguo’s automobile manufacturing technology was relatively Falling behind, it is also looking for ways to break the situation.

You want to break the situation, and I also want to break the situation. It is normal for the two families to hit it off.

Therefore, the bosses in the automobile industry were not surprised when Masik signed a bet with Modu. They all knew what Longguo lacked.

Nowadays, Longguo's car companies are not so much car companies as they are foreign investment platforms. Most of the best-selling domestic models are joint venture cars. There are only a few purely domestically produced cars, and the market does not recognize domestically produced cars very well.

Seeing that Chen Xing already knew about Masik's betting agreement, Rebus did not mince words and said bluntly: "There is reliable inside information. He will launch the first model in the second half of the year, and the price may be between 200,000 and 200,000." 300000."

"The second half of the year?"

Chen Xing was stunned for half a second.

He originally thought that Tesla would follow its original trajectory and launch its first model in 2016, but he didn’t expect it to be earlier?

"Yeah." Rebus nodded and continued: "So our pilot car is likely to have a schedule conflict with Tesla. This is why I came back to discuss it with you."

"What do you think, Mr. Ren?"

Chen Xing asked.

"What he said, I still want to ask for your opinion. I'm waiting for your opinion whether to strike first or to wait for you later." Rebus responded.

In fact, they all know little about electric vehicles, and the technology provider and technicians are all Longxing Group.

Chen Xing thought for a while and was not in a hurry to give an opinion. Instead, he was concerned about vehicle production and asked: "Where are our cars?"

"Electronic control system." Rebus said quickly, and then continued: "The motor has been developed, with a maximum horsepower of 300PS and a rated torque of 400N·m. This is a performance that only sports cars can have."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he sighed: "There is also a rated power of 220kW, which determines the maximum load capacity of the motor. Our car is not a sports car, but it is better than a sports car!"

"so smart."

Zhang Ming couldn't help being surprised.

As a billionaire boss who is only in his thirties, he is very interested in and researches sports cars and performance.

With a horsepower of 300, you must know that an ordinary luxury car only has 200 horsepower. This is also a horsepower that ordinary people can easily control.

Once it exceeds 200 horsepower, even if you step on the accelerator pedal lightly, the car will explode with strong power, which is equivalent to half the pedal power of a vehicle with less than 200 horses.

This is why many rental cars are prone to accidents.

They all thought that they were experienced drivers and wanted to experience Ferrari, McLaren, and Lamborghini, but as soon as they stepped on the accelerator pedal, they couldn't control the power at all, and something happened naturally.

"The performance of this motor is really great." Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh.

Because he wanted to build a car, he also deliberately learned about cars.

He didn't mention the 300 horsepower, which was a proper sports car standard, with a rated torque of 400N·m. This was what surprised Chen Xing.

What is rated torque?

In technical terms, it is the force that causes an object to rotate.

Anyone who has dismantled a fuel vehicle knows that the reason why it can run is because the piston inside the engine is constantly moving up and down.

The piston is connected to the crankshaft below through the connecting rod. At this time, the up and down movement of the piston will drive the crankshaft to rotate, and then drive the transmission shaft to rotate through the flywheel. The force driving the crankshaft to rotate is the rated torque, also called rated torque.

A car with excellent performance may not have much horsepower, but its rated torque value directly determines its driving performance.

This is why some people buy 200-horsepower domestic fuel vehicles, but they are not as powerful as other people’s 180-horsepower Japanese or German cars. The problem comes from the rated torque.

Now based on paper data alone, Chen Xing is confident that he can defeat Tesla.

With a maximum power of 300 horsepower, a continuous output of 220kW, and a heavyweight rated torque of 400N·m, who else would he want to ask about this motor?

Sign a gambling agreement?

This time it will make you bankrupt!

The corner of Chen Xing's mouth unconsciously curled up in a faint arc. He wanted to clear up Masik and the Angsa military-industrial complex behind him one by one. He would always remember the grudge for bombing the Pakistan Railway 4G signal base station.

Seeing the smile on Chen Xing's lips, Rebus couldn't help but joke: "If the parameters of this motor were revealed, people would probably think we were going to build a sports car. It has 300 horsepower. Who would have thought that this is just a family car?"

"I really thought we were going to build a sports car."

Zhang Ming sighed.

He didn't even dare to think about the parameters of a family car.

After simply calming down, Chen Xing asked, "What's going on with the electronic control system? Have you encountered any problems?"

The electronic control system is inside the electric vehicle.

"It's complicated when it comes to this." Rebus is not a professional car builder, so he can only give a rough description: "Chief Hua Ming seems to have said that the silicon carbide high-voltage platform needs to continue to be studied. In short, it needs time to settle."

"I see."

Chen Xing nodded slightly.

Now Longxing Group's mobile phones are selling well both at home and abroad, and it still has 7 billion in liquidity on its books, which may be able to add fuel to the fire of electric vehicles.

Now that the three major parts of electric vehicles, lithium batteries and motors, have been solved, only the electronic control system is left, and he can't wait.

"Look at the schedule collision..."

Rebus continued to ask.

After all, his opponent was Masik, a man known as the real-life Iron Man, and he had to treat him with caution.

"His Tesla is great. It may not be disadvantageous for us to pilot the car, so let's give it a try." Chen Xing made his decision.

Change date?

nonexistent!

Moreover, Chen Xing still has an ace up his sleeve, so Tesla is doomed to fail this time.

"Then let me talk to Mr. Ren. He is still busy working on lidar. The automotive field has indeed touched my knowledge blind spot."

Rebus smiled awkwardly.

"Lidar is probably a self-driving thing. Let's take a look at it when the time comes." After Chen Xing briefly explained, he changed the topic and said, "By the way, how long will you be in Shenzhen this time?"

"Two days at most."

Rebus thought for a moment and replied.

Due to the surge in chip production capacity, Longxing Group began to supply chips from outside, and Rice Company could also resume its mobile phone business.

The mobile phone business and the car business overlap, and he doesn't have much free time.

"Two days?"

Chen Xing thought for a while and invited: "That's just right. You can accompany me for a while these two days, and I will return to the Imperial Capital with you in two days."

"Are you going to the imperial capital?"

Rebus was a little confused. He didn't know what Chen Xing was doing in the imperial capital.

"Yes." Chen Xing nodded, without hiding anything, and said bluntly: "Electric vehicles cannot be promoted nationwide immediately. They need to be piloted in cities. I plan to pilot them in Shenzhen and the Imperial Capital, so I have to go to the Imperial Capital to do something."

"Where's the Magic City?"

Rebus asked.

"Magic City..."

Chen Xing smiled calmly and said seriously: "There will be car companies over there that will start a price war with them, so we'll just be prepared to pick up the slack."

"There will be car companies fighting Tesla..." Rebus thought for a few seconds, and the names of several car companies flashed through his mind. If they really get involved, they might really be able to pick up the slack.

…

And on the other side.

Shanghai Automobile Group Headquarters.

The news that Masik signed a gambling agreement and received an official allocation of 40 billion yuan from Shanghai Magic City has already spread throughout the automotive industry.

Originally, SAIC CEO Chen Hong had a negative attitude towards electric vehicles, but as Tesla entered the market and disrupted the situation, his attitude also changed 180 degrees. At this time, a guidance meeting on "Electric Vehicle Research and Development" was being held within the group.

Chen Hong, who was sitting in the main seat, looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Longxing Group announced that it will build electric cars. Now Tesla has also entered the market, bringing a lot of advanced technology. At the same time, BYD also announced that it will launch electric cars. We Definitely can’t wait any longer.”

"Marketing Department, go and do research immediately. I want to know the market's attitude towards electric vehicles and their willingness to buy at specific prices."

"The technical department must set up a special team for lithium batteries, motors, and electronic control systems within a week. The human resources department must cooperate well and publish recruitment information for technical personnel."

"In addition, the person in charge of the supply chain is looking for a suitable lithium battery manufacturer. I want detailed parameters. Do you understand me?"

"Listen clearly."

"Understood."

As soon as Chen Hong finished speaking, the department heads who were named responded one after another. They all understood that their boss was always caught in the middle.

In the past, there were new car manufacturing forces. Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company announced the production of electric vehicles. Later, Tesla, an established electric vehicle brand, came to Shanghai to build a super factory.

The most important thing is that BYD CEO Wang Fu also announced that he would invest 20 billion to build electric vehicles and set up a special team.

Combining all the circumstances, anyone who is not a fool can feel that the Longguo automobile field is about to change.

Anyone who cannot keep up with the times will eventually be abandoned by the times.

Now SAIC is not the only one panicking. BAIC Group, Guangzhou Automobile Group, Dongfeng Motor Group, Changan Automobile Group, and other car companies have announced that they will set up special groups to study electric vehicles.

The happiest thing now is the lithium battery manufacturers, such as CATL, Desai Battery, SCUD, etc. People are sitting at home, and the wind of the times is blowing directly in.

As for foreign car companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Honda, they all know that the Longguo market is setting off a trend of manufacturing electric vehicles, but they do not care.

In the eyes of established car companies like them, electric cars are something that cannot be put on the market. The internal combustion engine is the romance of cars. No man can refuse the roar of the engine.

But they would not have thought that someone else had already thought of the "simulation engine".

Do you need an internal combustion engine if you want roar?

No!

This can be simulated completely.

…

Peninsula Seoul.

Longxing Group Branch Building.

CEO's office.

Li Zhenzhen was sitting at his workstation, checking the sales data of the Bear Market and the Island Market in his mailbox.

Since opening up these two markets, the international influence of the Longxing mobile phone brand has skyrocketed.

It is not as easy as before for Baile Group and Linghang Group to continue to block information. Now they cannot block it at all.

Many people in the United States have learned through the Internet that Longguo has taken the lead in developing and applying 5G high-speed networks.

"In the Mao Xiong market, a total of 30 million units of Longxing X2 and Longxing A1 mobile phones were sold in 20 days. They are still out of stock. It seems necessary to continue to increase market supply."

"The island market sold 11 million units in seven days, and there was also a wave of panic buying. Now only the peninsula market is left."

Li Zhenzhen muttered to herself.

As long as the markets of Mao Xiong, Japan and South Korea are fully opened, Longxing Group will complete its strategic layout in East Asia.

"Knock knock--"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the office.

Li Zhenzhen reduced the mailbox and looked at the door of the office.

The next second.

A middle-aged man pushed the door open.

His name is Li Zhili, who belongs to the side branch of the Li family. He is less than 1.65 meters tall, and his eyes and facial features reveal a bit of shrewdness.

Although he is a side branch, his line has a good relationship with the direct line, so he has a good position in the Hanxing Group. After Li Zhenzhen returned to the peninsula, Li Zhili was the first to respond and jumped to Longxing Group.

"What's the matter?"

Li Zhenzhen didn't waste time.

Li Zhili had long been accustomed to the style of his "eldest princess" and quickly reported the situation: "Li Jae-yong has taken action. He wants to fight a price war with us."

"Price war?"

Li Zhenzhen frowned secretly.

As far as she knows, Hanxing Group does not target phones that have hit the bottom of the market, and basically only makes mid-to-high-end phones.

Price war?

You and Longxing Mobile are in a price war?

Is Li Jae-yong crazy?

Li Zhenzhen said she couldn't understand.

However, Li Zhili nodded and revealed the other party's actions in full: "According to the report of our internal spies, Hanxing Group passed the subsidy meeting. Whether it is high-end or mid-range mobile phones, they will be subsidized at a rate of 80%. It is obvious that they are fighting with us."

"Subsidize 80%?"

Li Zhenzhen was stunned.

She didn't expect Li Jae-yong to be so cruel. It was obvious that he wanted to gather the strength of the whole company to suppress the development of Longxing Mobile in the peninsula.

"There is... one more thing."

Li Zhili was a little hesitant.

"Say it."

Li Zhenzhen said calmly.

She thought the peninsula market would be particularly difficult, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult. First, the publicity channels were restricted, and now Li Jae-yong planned to play a price war, which clearly wanted to drag Longxing Group to death.

Moreover, Li Zhenzhen guessed that Li Jae-yong was waiting for the advent of the 5G high-speed network in the United States.

After receiving the instruction, Li Zhili did not hesitate any longer and said in a serious tone: "Gmarket, Auction, and Lotte online shopping platforms all refused to put Longxing mobile phones on the shelves. Li Jae-yong seemed to have reached some agreement with several other chaebols. We were excluded."

Li Zhenzhen: "..."

This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

Not allowed to be put on the shopping platform, media publicity channels were also restricted, and Hanxing Group also subsidized 80% to sell mobile phones. With these three moves, Li Zhenzhen knew what Li Jae-yong wanted to do.

Now Li Jae-yong's strategy is to seize the mobile phone market users first and absorb the mobile phone users who want to change their phones but have no money to change.

At that time, even if the Longxing mobile phone is officially released, many users who have just bought a new mobile phone will most likely not buy another one.

In plain words, Li Jae-yong wants to consume the market potential in advance and let the Longxing Group have a Waterloo on the peninsula.

After all, mobile phones are not food, who would buy a mobile phone when they have nothing to do?

The difficulty of the Peninsula market made Li Zhenzhen unable to find a breakthrough. She waved her hand and said, "I know, you go out first."

"Okay."

Li Zhili nodded and left the office.

As soon as he walked out of the office, Li Zhili took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to the number marked "???". The content was very simple, and the summary was four words: "Hit the soft spot."

Not far from the Peninsula Branch Building of Longxing Group, in the Hanxing Group Headquarters Building, Li Jae-yong's mobile phone in the top office made a "ding" sound.

He took out his mobile phone, checked the content of the text message, and then turned off the screen and muttered to himself: "It seems that the three-pronged approach does work, so let's subsidize 80% according to the plan and consume the potential users of Longxing mobile phones in advance."

If it were the market of other countries, no company would dare to subsidize 80%, which would be a completely losing business.

But the Peninsula is different.

Here, the chaebol is king.

The 80% subsidized today can be spit out by users through other channels another day, because 99% of the jobs here are provided by chaebols.

As an outsider, Longxing Group came to grab the cake of the Peninsula chaebol. Lee Jae-yong reached an alliance agreement with LG Group, Lotte Group, and SK Hynix with just a few words. They united and were unanimously xenophobic. This is why Lee Jin-jin was unable to create momentum through the media.
