Chapter 385 Musk's Thoughts

When Gao Yuan arranged everything and started to go home, it was already past 1 a.m.

At this time, Shanghai was a little quieter than during the day. When the car was driving on the road, Gao Yuan closed his eyes and rested in the back seat.

He couldn't help thinking about what would happen next.

Yuanxingzhe has been successful so far. I'm afraid no car company in the world can achieve such sales.

The next challenge for Yuanfang Automobile is whether it can deliver on time.

In particular, customers cannot be kept waiting for too long, otherwise some customers will definitely complain, which will also affect the reputation of Yuanfang Automobile.

This Yuanxingzhe is just a tentative move by Yuanfang Automobile in the automobile market.

Through low-priced, high-quality products, it quickly impacts the market, occupies a certain share in the market, and establishes a good reputation among users.

In the future, the Wuling brand will continue to develop some models and gradually occupy a larger market.

In addition, it is necessary to be decent to the Weilai brand.

At present, Li Bin has begun to manage the overall operation of Yuanfang Automobile. As a brand that is going to compete with BBA, Gao Yuan will have to use the AI ​​design workshop again to optimize the design of Weilai's existing vehicles.

As long as Weilai keeps up, it will be fine.

After all, the important point is the 340,000 official vehicles specially built by Yuanfang Automobile.

Although the vehicle is a B-class sedan, it means a lot to Yuanfang.

Once all official vehicles in the country become Yuanfang brands, this brand promotion will completely make Yuanfang popular.

Half an hour later.

Gao Yuan returned to the manor. At this time, the four women were still waiting for him, but his parents and sister's family had already rested.

At this time, he was a little hungry. After asking the chef to make some more food, Gao Yuan also went upstairs to rest with the four people.

He slept very sweetly, but at this time in the Marriott Hotel in Shanghai, some people were not sleeping well.

After the Yuanfang Automobile press conference, seven or eight car company CEOs gathered together.

Originally, they were just eating and chatting, but the conversation turned into a criticism meeting against the distant.

"It's not a good idea to go on like this. The purpose of a company is to make a profit and then contribute to the country and society."

"If it continues like this, it will do more harm than good to society and the country."

"We should have a big picture view and start with long-term development, rather than just looking at the present."

A middle-aged man among these CEOs said loudly after drinking a glass of wine.

As soon as he said these words, the dinner table suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at him, wanting to say something but not speaking.

Many people also roughly understood the situation of the car company behind this CEO. It was indeed a bit too much, or the profit was too low, which made this CEO so indignant.

"Mr. Zeng, it's okay to say this in private today."

Someone laughed and laughed.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zeng said seriously: "I dare to say this anywhere. Your car companies must have a hard time. Why don't we all resist this involutionary culture together?"

Everyone was silent again.

Resist?

It's easy to say two words, but it's really too difficult to do.

If they dare to resist this involutionary trend, their own car sales will drop immediately, or even drop drastically.

Originally, they can make less money by selling a car, and there will always be some profit if they follow the involution.

But,

Resisting will only benefit those car companies that participate in the price reduction.

Others may see that they are losing money for a while, but the increased funds are circulating and occupying a larger market.

The less they participate, the worse the outcome will be.

Even,

it's unknown whether their own car companies can survive in a short time.

Price reduction is just a superficial phenomenon.

The real core reason is that good money drives out bad money. The reshuffle in the automotive industry has reached a stage where it is inevitable.

At this time, as long as there are cards in hand, it is a very happy thing.

Who dares to hold the cards and not play them? In the end, all of them may be smashed in the hand.

Everyone was silent. Mr. Zeng looked at the expressions of these bosses and knew in his heart that they all had the same thoughts, waiting for others to make a move first, and then they would follow up.

"Should we talk to Gao Yuan?" someone suggested.

"What to talk to him about?" Mr. Zeng asked.

"Talk to him about the price reduction, see if he can slow down the pace and give us some breathing space." The man replied.

Mr. Zeng shook his head: "Do you think Gao Yuan will listen to us? He is in his prime now and doesn't care about us at all."

"Then what should we do?" Someone asked anxiously.

Mr. Zeng pondered for a moment and said: "We can only save ourselves. We can reduce the price, but we must protect our capital and cannot even reduce the cost of the vehicle."

Everyone was silent after hearing this. They knew that this was a cruel competition and no one could survive easily.

Not long after, the party ended.

Many people said they would go back and discuss Mr. Zeng's proposal, but did not give a definite answer.

In a suite.

Two middle-aged men were sitting and drinking tea. One of them smiled and asked the other, "Mr. Wang, what do you think of Mr. Zeng's proposal?"

The other middle-aged man smiled and took a sip of the teacup.

"Why, Mr. Li wants to follow?"

Mr. Wang glanced at the other party and said, "Let me tell you something."

"Cars from Zeng's head office used to have to be purchased at a price increase. At that time, did he come out to criticize the price increase?"

"Now his car company's cars can no longer be sold, and he is starting to overturn the table. How can this happen?"

Mr. Li also laughed.

Indeed it is.

He is also very aware of Mr. Zeng’s dilemma.

In the final analysis, the car company owned by Mr. Zeng lacks confidence. Its own brands do not have strong technology, and the joint venture brands are reluctant to give up profits.

"Okay, let's go back and study the price reduction!"

"BYD has fired the first shot at lowering car prices. Today, Yuanfang has released a nuclear bomb."

The two smiled bitterly, and Mr. Li said goodbye and left.

What Yuanfang did today really shocked them.

When BYD cuts prices, it won't lose money, but the Far Traveler costs nearly 200,000 yuan, but only sells for 99,000 yuan.

Especially when I left the venue, judging from the data obtained, more than 400,000 people had placed orders.

Such a terrifying order volume makes these bosses envious, but at the same time, there are also people waiting to see the joke in the distance.

If all these people place orders, Yuanfang's losses will reach more than 40 billion.

For a car company that has just released its first car and suffered such a heavy loss, it is very likely that the road ahead will be very difficult.

They even want to watch the Far Traveler become popular and see what the Far Traveler can do to lose money.

However, Gao Yuan was not worried about this.

He already had a plan in mind.

He knew that the Far Eastern was just the beginning, a beginning for people to get to know Yuan Yuan’s cars. Their goal is not only to sell cars, but also to build a comprehensive automotive ecosystem.

Gaoyuan plans to quickly accumulate users and establish its own brand loyalty through the high sales volume of Far Traveler. Then, through subsequent models, the brand value will be continuously improved and profits will be gradually increased.

Moreover, Yuanfang Automobile is already developing new energy vehicle technology and will launch more high-tech and cost-effective models in the future, subverting the entire automobile industry.

Gao Yuan is full of confidence in the future of Yuanfang Automobile. He believes that as long as it insists on following its own path, Yuanfang Automobile will surely become a leader in the automobile industry.

Moreover.

Only a few people know that there are enough funds in the distance to continue losing money.

Even without mentioning the 200,000 yuan compensation provided by the system for each vehicle, Yuanfang still has enough funds.

Before the shares of the two major battery companies plummeted because Yuanfang was the first to release solid-state batteries, Xiao Xiao had already begun operating in the financial market.

With each drop and one increase, Xiao Xiao is reaping wild rewards in the financial market.

At this time, let alone 40 billion, even 80 billion would be enough to cause losses in the distance.

The next day, Gao Yuan went to the company early in the morning.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Li Bin came to his office.

Gao Yuan saw that Li Bin had a pair of dark circles under his eyes but could not hide the smile on his face, and knew that Li Bin had not slept all night.

He should be keeping an eye on the sales of the Far Traveler.

"Mr. Gao, the Far Traveler is sold out!"

"So far, the total order volume of Far Traveler has exceeded one million, and the number of people who have placed orders has exceeded 250,000."

Li Bin sat opposite Gao Yuan and said excitedly.

This sales volume is simply terrifying, and this is the first time he has experienced such a thing.

The sales volume of the Farranger in half a day has caught up with the sales volume of Weilai in so many years, although the low price is a very important factor.

but,

He knew very well that most of them still believed in technological breakthroughs in automobiles from afar.

Moreover, since the establishment of Yuanfang, various products have been hard to use. He himself has used Hululing sold by Yuanfang Breeding Center.

The reputation has been built long ago, which means that the popularity of Far Traveler is inevitable.

"Don't be too happy too early!"

"The Expedition's current inventory is only 70,000 vehicles, and it can only produce 30,000 vehicles a month."

"Selling a car is a good thing, but there must be no problems with delivery and after-sales service."

Gao Yuan was very happy when he heard this data, but he still gave Li Bin a warning.

"Didn't you talk to Tesla and BYD?"

"Delivery it, we shouldn't have a big problem!"

Li Bin said with a slightly uncertain tone.

"They are only temporarily freeing up some production lines for us, and they are not directly producing new cars."

Gao Yuan reminded.

What he was talking about with Tesla and BYD was indeed the production of some components of the Farranger.

In fact, the main force of production is still in the distant factory.

In other words, the increase in production is actually very limited. At best, it is only from 30,000 vehicles per month to 50,000 vehicles per month.

The current sales data of the Far Traveler is only half a day’s data.

What about the next month?

With the delivery of the first batch of 70,000 vehicles, there will inevitably be countless analysis videos on the Internet about the Farlander.

By that time, Gao Yuan believes that Far Traveler will once again experience a sales boom.

He had a hunch that 500,000 vehicles would only be considered an average sales volume for the Traveler.

Gao Yuan took a deep breath and said to Li Bin seriously: "We must be prepared to ensure that delivery and after-sales service can keep up with such a large sales volume."

"In addition, you are ready to take over Tesla's domestic factory"

Li Bin was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He looked at Gao Yuan and replied seriously: "I understand, I will make arrangements right away."

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Musk was brought to Yuanfang Group by Wang Sichao.

After sitting down in Gao Yuan's office, Musk said directly: "Gao Yuan, you are so awesome!"

"I have never admired anyone, and you are the first."

Musk means what he says.

After returning last night, he also asked his assistant to keep an eye on the sales of Yuanfang, and at the same time asked him to analyze all Yuanfang's industries again.

When he got the analysis report this morning, he discovered that all Gaoyuan's industries were planned.

His own industry is laid out to explore the universe, but Gao Yuan's industry is laid out based on the crowd.

He now dares to say that Gao Yuan is definitely the favorite person among women in the world.

so,

This has established that when Yuanfang basically releases a product, there will be people who will use it to experience it, and there will be a large group of women to help promote Yuanfang.

and,

The quality of every product made by Yuanfang cannot be said, which is terrible.

"Musk, you are too humble, you are the richest man in the world!"

Gao Yuan said with a smile.

Musk smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know how long I can sit as the world's richest man. If your company chooses to go public, I guess you won't be the world's richest man tomorrow!"

Gao Yuan smiled and said nothing.

Listed?

What an international joke.

He is not short of money now, so why go public?

In the past, he had thought about listing a skin care product company first to raise funds in the financial market.

but,

Now he has no interest in going public.

After going public, it will be subject to stricter supervision. Now he can handle all the company's affairs internally.

"Musk, let's talk about something you're interested in!"

Gao Yuan didn't want to chat too much with Musk, so he went straight to the point.

"No problem, I've been waiting for your words."

Musk had no objection at all. After seeing the success of the Far Traveler, he knew very well that Tesla was going to change. If it didn't change, it would die on the road to building cars.

He already knows very well that Tesla's stock price will definitely plummet today, and he has already arranged for people to frantically acquire stocks in the financial market.

As long as he negotiates a cooperation with Gao Yuan, he will make a lot of money.

"First, I hope that all of Tesla's business in China will be transferred to Yuanfang Automobile. In the future, Tesla can choose to rebuild the factory and develop the domestic market directly through imports."

"Second, I hope we can talk about your SpaceX project in detail."

Gao Yuan stated two conditions, and then looked at Musk.

Musk pondered for a moment, then looked at Gao Yuan and said: "All of Tesla's business in China can be transferred to Yuanfang Automobile for free, and Tesla will only choose trade in the future and will not develop the Chinese market."

Musk's decision was not made now, but after he returned yesterday.

Now that China has launched Yuanfang Auto, there is bound to be no room for other new energy vehicles to survive.

Rather than being forced to leave, it is better to give up now and exchange some technology from Gao Yuan.

As for the future.

Only a fool would come to China to engage in new energy vehicles.

The foreign market is so big and there is so much money for him to make, why bother getting involved here.

but,

Musk refused Gao Yuan's second request.
