Chapter 375 Industry Overlord
Once this video was released, it opened a new chapter of discussion on the Yuanxinger on the Internet.
There are two points of discussion.
First, what is the price of the first Wuling brand Yuanxinger manufactured by Yuanfang Automobile?
This topic has been discussed before.
The reason why it exploded again is because of the scalp-numbing smile shown by Gao Yuan in the video.
In theory.
When a boss of a company posts a video online, he usually maintains an extremely positive image.
Unlike Gao Yuan, who is naughty like a big boy.
But it is this meaningful smile that makes everyone discuss the price of Yuanxinger again.
Some people said: "This is the first car of Yuanfang, and it has many world-first and unprecedented technologies. It is destined to be an epoch-making car."
"The price is self-evident. It must be the price of a high-end car."
"And this part of people deliberately compared the prices of new energy vehicles such as Tesla and Weilai."
There is some truth in what they said. If these people say so, Yuanxinger can indeed be sold for more than 300,000.
However,
there are also some people who hold the opposite view.
They believed that the Yuanxingzhe car must have started with a low price.
The reason is that Yuanxingzhe uses the Wuling brand, not the Yuanfang brand.
As we all know, the Wuling brand has never produced high-end products.
Even if the quality is very good, the price of the product is very affordable.
Therefore, Yuanfang Automobile adopted the Wuling brand for its first car, and did not think of going for a high-end price.
Moreover, there was a wave of price cuts for new energy vehicles not long ago, and the banner of oil being more expensive than electricity was raised. At this time, if Yuanfang wants to quickly occupy the market, it must adopt a low-price strategy.
The two groups of people have their own reasons. As the matter fermented, two groups of people simply formed on the Internet to refute each other's views.
The key is that every time a video is released, Gao Yuan must be @.
Gao Yuan's account was also handed over to Sun Qiang at this time.
He told Sun Qiang that whenever these two groups @him when posting a video, he should use his account to like it and comment on it with a thumbs-up expression.
This operation is nothing but adding fuel to the fire, which makes the two groups think they are right again, and the publicity heat rises again.
In their hearts, they actually know that Gao Yuan's likes and comments are meaningless, and they did not say that they are right.
However,
this is traffic!
In the era of traffic, it is most important to capture traffic, and put right and wrong aside.
Gao Yuan is also happy to see this situation.
However, he is concerned about the routine of another question.
That is, is Yuanfang Automobile qualified to become a national brand?
Regarding national brands, these four words are originally a topic.
And whether Yuanfang Automobile, which was born not long ago, is qualified to become a private brand, this topic has attracted more people to participate in the discussion.
These people's discussions also dig out materials about Yuanfang Automobile from various angles.
Some people say that from the brand of Wuling, they recognize Yuanfang Automobile as a national brand from this point of view.
Some people say that from all the technologies of Yuanfang Automobile.
These technologies are all self-developed by Yuanfang, and the important parts of the entire vehicle are produced by Yuanfang itself.
They think Yuanfang Automobile can be called a national brand.
However, the final point of the discussion on this topic converged on the price of the Yuanxing.
And it was also clearly pointed out that only if the Yuanfang car is sold at a low price can it be called a national brand.
Gao Yuan was a little surprised by this result.
He knew very well that Yuanfang did not arrange or guide these people to discuss this matter.
Now this result has been formed, and it is obvious that someone hopes that the first car produced by Yuanfang Automobile will go this way.
As for whether other car manufacturers are doing small tricks behind the scenes, Gao Yuan did not go into it.
He did not intend to sell the Yuanxing car at a high price.
And he said at the press conference that he wanted to build the first car in his life that young people can afford.
He didn't care what others said and couldn't do it.
But he said that, and he must do it.
What's more, the system also subsidized him 200,000 for each car.
No matter what he did, he would only make money and not lose money.
So.
Gao Yuan only focused on one point, that is, what the official media would say.
It's a pity.
On this matter, the official media kept silent tacitly and did not comment on this topic.
Gao Yuan paid attention to it for two days, but he didn't get the results he wanted, so he stopped paying attention to it.
In late May.
Gao Yuan and Xiao Xiao returned to Hangzhou from Shenzhen.
Shortly after they returned to Hangzhou, CATL and BYD jointly held a press conference.
The main content of the press conference was that the two companies announced that they would also enter the solid-state battery market, and stated that they had reached a strategic partnership with Yuanfang Automobile.
Once this news was released, the world was shocked!
The stocks of the two companies, which had already fallen to the bottom, quickly began to soar.
You know,
Ever since Yuanfang Automobile announced that its first car, Yuanxingzhe, used solid-state batteries.
The stocks of these two companies began to plummet.
Those people and institutions holding their stocks were instantly stunned.
They were making money well, but everything changed overnight.
The stocks that were originally worth a fortune in their hands turned into a pile of waste paper.
A large number of domestic stockholders even wanted to sell their shares but found that they couldn't!
No matter how low the price was, no one would take it.
During this period, many people scolded Yuanfang Auto, saying why Yuanfang Auto wanted to make a solid-state battery.
Many people even said that Yuanfang Auto's so-called solid-state battery was just a gimmick, bluffing!
This did slow down the trend of the two companies' stocks.
Unfortunately.
The good times didn't last long.
Not long after such remarks were made, Yuanfang Auto's official website announced a large number of technical patents.
These patents directly cover all solid-state battery technologies at home and abroad.
And Yuanfang Auto's official website also posted a murderous sentence.
"A hundred years ahead of modern battery technology!"
So.
The stocks of the two companies immediately plummeted.
Countless people were so painful that they no longer looked at the stock price.
At the same time as the stock plummeted, Xiao Xiao had already appeared in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
In her manor, she received the CEOs of the two companies.
There was only one thing for the three parties to discuss.
To survive, or to hold on to the end.
Needless to say, if Yuanfang continues to accelerate the mass production of solid-state batteries, these two companies will naturally not survive.
And if they choose to survive, they have to follow the plan given by Xiao Xiao.
The plan in front of them is very simple.
The two companies take back the shares of the institutions, and then these shares will be held by Yuanfang Automobile.
In other words.
From now on, Yuanfang Automobile will become the largest shareholder of the two companies.
And Yuanfang Automobile will share technology.
The shared technology is a generation of technology.
In other words, the two companies will always lag behind the battery technology owned by Yuanfang Automobile by one generation.
The two CEOs looked at the plan in front of them and did not show any dissatisfaction. On the contrary, they all had a feeling of escaping death.
In their opinion, Yuanfang Automobile’s statement that it is a hundred years ahead of modern technology is not wrong.
They are also researching solid-state batteries, but after so many years of research, there is really no progress.
When Xiao Xiao contacted them, they were at the center of this battery storm.
This can no longer be said to be a timely help.
This is a completely life-saving medicine.
Not only is it not bitter, it is also a little sweet.
So.
Gao Yuan went to Shenzhen Stock Exchange after holding the technical conference of Yuanfang Automobile.
At the same time.
The happiest people about this matter are not the CEOs of the two companies, nor Gao Yuan and Xiao Xiao, but thousands of Chinese stockholders.
Because no one took over their stocks.
Gao Yuan and Xiao Xiao did not take the opportunity to recover the stocks from these people, and also asked the two companies not to do such things.
The purpose is very simple.
Gao Yuan does not want to reap the money of his own people.
He has only one purpose, that is, the money of those institutions, especially those overseas investment institutions.
As the conferences of the two companies ended.
The whole country was like the New Year, and countless people cheered and celebrated.
Even if it was on the weekend and the market was not open, they all knew that they were saved.
Countless people thanked Yuanfang Group.
So.
All related products of Yuanfang Group ushered in a wave of sales frenzy again.
Among them, countless people said that they must buy one when Yuanfang Automobile's first car was launched.
Even if they don't drive it, they have to buy one.
Gao Yuan and Xiao Xiao sat in the office in Hangzhou, with cooperation agreements in front of them, and their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.
From the moment the two CEOs signed the contract.
Yuanfang Automobile has become the global battery overlord, without a doubt.
Both knew that this was just the beginning.
Their goal is not only to make the two companies stand up again, but also to make Yuanfang Automobile the leader in the global automotive industry.
Just after the press conferences of the two companies were held.
They also began to transform the existing battery production equipment and technology according to the technology and engineers provided by Yuanfang Automobile.
At present, all batteries stored in the factory must be re-melted.
Although this process will cause losses, at least a lot of losses can be recovered.
However.
For most new energy vehicles, this matter is a catastrophe.
If the two battery giants can withstand it, they can still use the current batteries first and slowly discuss cooperation with Yuanfang.
Use the existing inventory cars through replacement products.
However,
Now that the two battery giants have bowed their heads, what should they do?
What should they do with so many inventory cars?
Especially Xiaomi Automobile.
Because the order volume is too large, the orders have exceeded 100,000 units during this period.
These customers only paid a deposit of 5,000 yuan.
Their factory is working overtime to produce and prepare stocks, but many customers have already expressed that they do not want the deposit.
They want to buy Yuanxingzhe!
For a while, the senior executives of countless car companies were scolding Yuanfang Automobile.
But they did not leave Yuanfang Group even though they scolded in their hearts.
After Gao Yuan and Xiao Xiao came back from Shenzhen, they also met with the bosses of these car companies.
Gao Yuan was also very clear about their demands.
It was nothing more than battery supply.
But Gao Yuan clearly refused this.
Because the output of Yuanfang's own batteries is very limited, and it has not yet reached the level of mass production, the two batteries at the press conference are just samples produced in advance.
After he refused, he directly asked many companies to talk to the two battery giants.
This was also discussed by Gao Yuan and the two bosses.
Yuanfang Automobile will not sell batteries to the outside world, but will only produce and sell them by itself.
The bosses of many new energy vehicle companies have found a solution and left.
However,
Weilai's Li Bin did not leave.
After everyone left, he was invited to the office by Gao Yuan.
"Brother Bin, why don't you leave? You are not here to drink tea for free, are you?"
Gao Yuan smiled and poured a cup of tea for Li Bin.
"Don't mention it, your Maojian tea tastes really good."
Li Bin picked up the teacup and drank the tea, smiling.
He took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and looked at Gao Yuan seriously and said: "Mr. Gao, do you want to hold some Weilai shares?"
Gao Yuan was slightly stunned and stared at Li Bin for a few times.
Then he understood.
The reason why Li Bin wanted him to hold some Weilai stocks was, to put it bluntly, to hold on to the thigh of Yuanfang.
This guy is really smart.
He should have started to think about this since the last time they met at the Xiaomi Auto Conference.
The technology conference of Yuanfang Auto made him more determined, which led to the words just now.
"Even if I hold Weilai stocks, Weilai can't have the same generation of technology as Yuanfang Auto."
Gao Yuan thought for a while and said.
This made Li Bin slightly stunned, and then he showed a smile that he couldn't hide.
"Enough!"
"Enough!"
Li Bin excitedly picked up the teacup directly.
He actually saw it very clearly from the series of news released by Yuanfang Auto recently.
The future is destined to be a situation where Yuanfang Auto is the only one.
Most of the so many car companies will be eliminated by Yuanfang.
This is a technical reshuffle, and no matter how powerful the capital is, it can't decide.
Unless you give away the car for free.
So.
If Weilai wants to keep the inventory, it must keep up with the pace of Yuanfang.
How can he keep up?
There is a huge technological gap between him and Yuanfang now. If he wants to keep up, Yuanfang must be willing.
Then Yuanfang can only become a shareholder of Weilai, or even a major shareholder.
Only in this way.
Weilai can survive, and even live well.
"I will take advantage of the recent drop in Weilai's stock price to announce Weilai's delisting."
"After clarifying Weilai's shareholding structure, Yuanfang will become Weilai's holding company."
Li Bin and Gao Yuan clinked their tea cups and spoke.
Gao Yuan heard Li Bin's words and looked at him differently again.
This is bold enough!
Directly delist and start over.
And Yuanfang Automobile also wants to control Weilai.
Isn't this equivalent to Weilai becoming a sub-brand of Yuanfang.
"Okay, you can do it!"
The two chatted for more than an hour. After hearing Gao Yuan's words, Li Bin left with satisfaction.
At the end of June.
Gao Yuan took Si Xue to the headquarters of Yuanfang Automobile in Zhongzhou City.
The main reason why he went to the headquarters of Yuanfang Automobile this time was because solid-state batteries had officially started production.
And the reason why he brought Si Xue with him was to let Si Xue recheck the financial situation of Yuanfang Automobile, Yuanfang Battery Factory and Yuanfang Automobile Factory 2 built by Wang Sichao.
After the calculation, he would return the profits according to the specific output of the three factories.
The so-called rebate means how much money he would return to the automobile factory and battery factory if he did not produce a car.
The purpose is to keep the three factories in a non-loss state.
At the same time, he also had to calculate how much money he could get if the system gave him 200,000 yuan for each car.
