Technology company, I will become the light of China!

"Eighteen car companies? Is this a joint boycott of us by the entire car industry?"

Yao Nana was shocked. She had never seen such a scene before.

Even in the open and secret struggles in 2014, everyone was tacitly aware of each other's moves, and no one said anything on the table.

What about now?

Eighteen car companies openly signed!

It is no exaggeration to say that today will be written into history books, and may even become a key point in the rise of new energy vehicles.

"It's good to be neat and tidy. Let me see what they fart. How many car companies in Longguo are involved in it."

Chen Xing was not panicked at all.

His main point is to fight if you don't agree.

Originally, he didn't want to release the pilot 001 first. It was really because his competitors were too slow. He had to set a super low price to deal with what might happen in the future.

"It was Tesla who took the lead. President, you can check their official website. By the way, they have released it on Weibo and Douyin."

Zhang Heting quickly pointed the way.

Chen Xing quickly clicked the left mouse button to open Tesla's official Weibo account, and the first blog post that came into view was a picture of the "Joint Complaint Letter" in black and white.

[To: Relevant industry associations, market supervision departments and all walks of life.

Dear leaders, colleagues and friends from all walks of life:

As a group of responsible and fair competition representatives in the field of automobile manufacturing, we deeply feel that the serious unfair competition behaviors that have recently appeared in the industry have caused a huge impact on our normal operations, destroyed the balance of the industry ecology, and harmed the long-term interests of consumers.

Here, we jointly initiate a complaint and implore relevant departments to intervene in the investigation to maintain the healthy and orderly development of the market.

The object of the complaint is Longxing Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., as well as the investors Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company.

Behavior Overview: Recently, Longxing Heavy Industry has ignored industry norms and market rules, adopted an extremely low price strategy, and dumped the standard version of Linghang 001 and the exclusive version of Linghang 001 at extremely low prices of 209,000 and 299,000 respectively.

Its behavior is not only far below the production cost, but also below the reasonable price range recognized by the industry, which obviously violates the principle of fair competition in the market economy.

The accused party's move is aimed at quickly occupying market share and squeezing out competitors through unfair means. Its behavior has constituted low-price dumping and malicious competition.

According to the impact analysis, low-price behavior will seriously disrupt the market price order, lead to an imbalance in the overall price system of the industry, send wrong price signals to consumers, and affect the transparency of the market and the rational judgment of consumers.

Long-term low-price competition has compressed the profit margins of enterprises, weakened the ability of enterprises to research and develop and innovate, and hindered the sustainable development of the industry. At the same time, some regular enterprises are forced to withdraw from the market because they cannot bear the price pressure, resulting in waste of resources and market gaps.

At the same time, low prices are often accompanied by low quality. The accused party may subsequently reduce costs by sacrificing product quality, which will ultimately damage the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and the user experience. In the long run, this will affect consumers' trust and satisfaction with the industry.

In view of this, we hereby make the following appeals to relevant industry associations, market supervision departments and all sectors of society:

1. We urge relevant departments to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the low-price dumping behavior of the accused party, verify whether there is malicious competition, unfair competition and other behaviors, and take corresponding measures to stop it in accordance with laws and regulations.

2. We suggest that relevant departments strengthen the monitoring and supervision of market prices, establish and improve the industry self-discipline mechanism, guide enterprises to establish a correct concept of competition, and jointly maintain the fairness, justice and order of the market.

3. We call on the whole society to pay attention to and resist unfair competition, create a fair and competitive market environment, protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and promote the healthy development of the entire industry.

4. For enterprises that have been harmed by unfair competition, we call on relevant departments to provide necessary support and assistance to ensure that their legitimate rights and interests are not violated.

Joint parties: Tesla, General Motors Group, Ford Group, BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz Group, Audi Group, Volkswagen Group, Chevrolet Group, Honda Group, Toyota Group, Mitsubishi Group, Nissan Motor Group, MG Group, Hyundai Group, SAIC Group, GAC Group, Changan Group, Guanghui Automobile Group.

Finally, we firmly believe that with the fair judgment of relevant departments and the joint efforts of the whole society, the low-price dumping, malicious competition and attempted monopoly of the accused party will be punished accordingly, and the industry will usher in a healthier and more orderly development environment. ]

Chen Xing read all the complaints of the 18 car companies without missing a word.

At the moment of retracting his gaze, he looked at Yao Nana and said: "Make a backup of this complaint letter, and collect the parameter information of the 18 co-branded car companies, and send it to my email today."

"Oh... OK."

Yao Nana responded quickly.

Targeted collection of parameter information means that Chen Xing will continue to shuffle.

Zhang Heting swallowed his saliva. He knew Chen Xing's character too well. This man is not only vindictive, but also best at liquidation. The score battle with Ku Ke is still vivid in his mind.

He has mourned for the 18 car companies in advance, because he knows very well that Longxing Group still has a lot of technical reserves, and it is estimated that this bloody storm will never stop.

"Okay, you guys go out first."

Chen Xing waved his hand.

Yao Nana and Zhang Heting looked at each other and both silently chose to leave.

As the office door was closed, Chen Xing stared at the names and red seals of the 18 car companies on the "Joint Complaint Letter" and said disdainfully: "Being impatient is useless. Don't dare to follow the cards. Just admit defeat and get out."

After so many years of experience, he can see how many pitfalls there are at a glance.

In addition to clearly stating that Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and Rice Company are maliciously competing, this "Joint Complaint Letter" also attempts to drag the three into the category of market monopoly.

Did Chen Xing really monopolize the market?

No!

The pricing of Linghang 001 at 209,000 and 299,000 is at most disrupting the market price, which is far from the point of monopolizing the market.

To achieve monopoly, you must have market uniqueness.

Assuming that Linghang 001 puts all domestic car companies out of business, it may be identified as monopolizing and going to have tea with uncle.

But now Linghang 001 has just been launched, and its total market share is less than 1%. Even if the pricing is low, it is a marketing strategy, and it is still far from the threshold of monopoly.

However, just in case, and to have a clear idea, Chen Xing still chose to call Wang Shan to ask.

"Beep beep--"

After a few busy tones, the call was connected.

"I thought you would call me." Wang Shan seemed to have expected it and was not surprised.

"This joint letter is too scary, old leader. I have to call you. If there is really any problem, we should raise the price and never monopolize."

Chen Xing emphasized the last five words and expressed his attitude to Wang Shan.

Since ancient times, monopoly has been a serious crime. He doesn't want to capsize, and this is a false accusation, which Chen Xing doesn't want to bear.

"I know that at most you have broken the market balance and dumped products at low prices, which does not violate the law."

Wang Shan's attitude is also very clear. No one can blindly accuse Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company if they have not violated the law.

After receiving this assurance, Chen Xing finally had a bottom line, and then asked: "Then, old leader, how did you negotiate the project of "Three Cities Integration"? "

"It's settled, but there is a resistance, and I need your help."

As soon as Wang Shan finished speaking, Chen Xing was refreshed and asked: "What is the resistance? You, the old leader, couldn't solve it yourself."

"TSMC, UMC, MediaTek and other semiconductor companies."

"Are you afraid of being locked out of the equipment by the United States?"

"Well, Baodao has this concern, so its attitude has been a little wavering. I also want to talk to you about chip production."

Whether it is TSMC or UMC, these chip foundries use lithography machines assembled by the Dutch ASML company, and the Dutch ASML company has long been firmly controlled by the Belle Group and the Leading Group.

To put it bluntly, once TSMC and UMC "disobey", the West is fully capable of remotely locking their lithography machines and blocking TSMC and UMC from the source.

Once TSMC and UMC have problems, MediaTek will not survive, and Formosa's foundry business will even face collective paralysis.

"If chips are the only obstacle, then it is indeed necessary to have a good talk. How about this, old leader, you invite the CEOs of TSMC, UMC, MediaTek and other pillar companies of Formosa to come out, and we will set up a private meeting to talk about it."

After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Xing gave his own answer.

The current priority is to disintegrate the hegemony of the US dollar and disintegrate the foundation of the opponent. As for the lithography machine, Longxing Group can completely follow the example of the Dutch ASML company to provide lithography equipment, but the "switch" is in its own hands.

"Are you agreeing?"

Wang Shan didn't expect Chen Xing to be so straightforward.

However, Chen Xing was not polite and smiled and said, "They just want to ensure the normal production capacity of chips. Besides, I am not providing technical assistance for free, but I want a commission."

"Commission is no problem. I will go back to arrange it for you in a while. I am still in Singapore now and may not be able to return to Shenzhen for a while."

"By the way." Wang Shan just finished speaking, and then he thought of something and asked hurriedly, "TSMC and UMC are easy to deal with, but chip design companies like MediaTek are a bit difficult to deal with, right?"

"There is still a market for keypad phones. Just ask them to dig deep into Africa."

Chen Xing disagreed.

For smartphone chips, MediaTek has not kept up with the times and can only continue to dig deep into keypad chips.

Don't think that keypad phones have no market. Keypad phones are still the most used in Africa because they are cheap.

"Africa, Africa is not impossible." Wang Shan thought about it and felt that it seemed to make sense.

It is obviously unrealistic to want Longxing Group to squeeze out market share for MediaTek. At most, it can provide some technical assistance and let it go to Africa to play by itself.

"Business is negotiated slowly. It's almost the New Year. If you have time, old leader, please arrange a meeting. I'll be there anytime."

"No problem."

"Then I won't bother you."

"Let's talk next time."

"Let's talk next time."

As the call was hung up, Chen Xing also had his own confidence.

Looking at the "Joint Complaint Letter" on the display screen, he casually clicked a cross, and then opened the comment area to check the public opinion.

[Zuan Big Player]: "I drafted a grandma's blessing, and you also jointly said that others are destroying the market. I think you car companies are the ones who are really destroying the market. You sell your own broken cars at a high premium and don't let others sell them at normal prices. If I meet your mother, I will hang you on the tree directly!"

[Listen to the strong wind]: "I would like to ask the owner of the entry-level BBA car, if the standard is deducted, can its configuration parameters be worth 340,000? It is not worth 240,000, your grandma's, high premium After all these years, we are still not allowed to sell the car at a normal price!”

[Xiao Jingjing]: "Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company will be accused of destroying the market if they don't join in with these car companies. They have the intention of creating a monopoly. They are monopolies but not monopolies. Can we consumers not know this?"

[Shocking Jiuzhou]: "The public's eyes are sharp. If Mr. Chen and others really want to establish a monopoly, then why haven't the prices of mobile phones skyrocketed? To put it bluntly, some companies cannot make money and can only spread dirt online. Water."

The trend of the Internet is almost one-sided. With 200,000 dragon national coins, you can buy the performance of a million-dollar luxury car. The public can naturally tell who is the enemy and who is the friend.

However, many people support joint car companies and believe that a price increase of at least 200,000 yuan for Pilot 001 is a reasonable range.

Those who support joint car companies are not ordinary netizens, but second-hand car dealers across the country.

The low price of Linghang 001 will not only reshuffle the competitive car companies, but also affect the second-hand car industry.

Just imagine, do you want to spend more than 200,000 to buy a second-hand BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, or a brand-new Pilot 001?

No need to think about it, who likes to drive someone else’s car when you can drive a new car?

Therefore, only those who have suffered losses are denouncing Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company online, demanding a price increase for Linghang 001. However, ordinary users like the beneficiaries, they are eager to have Linghang 001 with free shipping for 9 yuan, no matter how you disrupt the market. Or a market monopoly.

"It seems that the public's eyes are sharp, so there is no need to bother with public relations. Cold treatment is the best way to deal with it."

Chen Xing murmured to himself.

He didn't want to show the eighteen car companies. After all, there was no point in scolding them online. Those who run companies naturally have to use their products to speak for themselves.

…

And at the same time.

other side.

After receiving the "Joint Letter of Complaint", the Shenzhen Market Supervision Bureau and the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau quickly held a joint discussion meeting.

“Tesla, General Motors Group, Ford Group, BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz Group, Audi Group, Volkswagen Group, Chevrolet Group, Honda Group, Toyota Group, Mitsubishi Group, Nissan Motor Group, MG Group, Hyundai Group, including our domestic SAIC Motor, Guangzhou Automobile Group, Changan Group, and China Grand Automobile Group have all participated in the joint complaint. Director Wang, how do you plan to handle this matter? "

Xu Zhijun, the director of the Supervision Bureau, took the document and looked at Wang Yixing, the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, wanting to hear his thoughts.

Just after he finished speaking, Xu Zhijun added: "Now the General Administration requires a thorough investigation, which is very difficult for me to handle."

"Longxing Group and Kunpeng Company are the pillar enterprises of science and technology in Shenzhen. To say they are monopolies is too much. At most, they are charged with disrupting the market and are fined a small amount."

Wang Yixing planned to fine him with three drinks.

It's not that he is shielding the city's companies, but that Longxing Group and Kunpeng Company really have no evidence that they want to establish a monopoly.

Is low price a monopoly?

So isn’t the subsidy war between Meituan and Ele.me an open one?

"In my opinion, let alone fines, just deal with it coldly. Saying that others are destroying the market without even providing evidence is destroying development!"

Another person chose to take a stand. He is Qian Xugang, deputy director of the Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau.

"That's right, it's slander without evidence. I even want to suggest Longxing Group sue them."

"I have experienced Linghang 001's cars. Whether it is quality, workmanship, or performance, they are among the best in the industry. There is no premium at all. It is too late to praise such a conscientious company, and the fine is excessive."

"I agree with what Bureau Zhang said."

"Me too."

"Me too."

As the leadership team who have witnessed the rise of Longxing Group with their own eyes, they must be more protective of the city's enterprises. Moreover, they have not committed any crimes, so they feel that they cannot be beaten to death with a stick.

The members of the Market Supervision Bureau headed by Xu Zhijun looked at each other in confusion. Their "eldest brother" did not express his position, so they did not dare to talk nonsense.

"This matter can be big or small. How about this? Let's ask Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company to provide the cost documents of the vehicles. If there is really a profit margin, then it is not maliciously disrupting the market. What do you think?"

Xu Zhijun expressed his position.

This time Wang Yixing, Qian Xugang and others were silent and did not dare to answer immediately because they were not sure how much net profit the pilot 001 made and whether they were selling it with a discount.

To be honest, they all felt from the bottom of their hearts that the price of Linghang 001 would start at 300,000 yuan.

"I still say the same thing, whoever questions and whoever provides evidence cannot let people feel at ease, and diligent and innocent companies can prove themselves."

As soon as Wang Yixing finished speaking, Xu Zhijun simply ignored it, waved his hand and said: "Then let them go to the court to resolve it. Whoever disrupts the market or engages in monopoly will be handed over to the court for judgment."

"Dong dong——"

At this time, there was a knock on the conference room door.

The discussion stopped abruptly, and everyone looked towards the door. They vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Xu Zhijun's eyes indicated.

The man sitting near the door immediately conferred and hurried to open the door.

The next second.

A young man pushed the door in pantingly.

"Director, it's an emergency. Call from the Imperial Capital!"

…

at the same time.

Changan Automobile Group Headquarters.

Chairman's office.

Tang Ruiyang, who is over 50 years old and has a Mediterranean hairstyle, is pale and looks much younger.

Why is this happening?

Very simple.

Because he was scared to become a grandson.

"I...I know, I don't know who did this. You...don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and ensure that the impact is minimized." Tang Ruiyang not only stuttered, but also trembled a little, obviously. Nervous to the extreme.

"It's good that you know. Let me remind you again that the superiors are willing to purchase domestic brands of vehicles as service vehicles. If you continue to make trouble like this, I can't even imagine the consequences."

The person on the other end of the phone spoke solemnly, almost making his words clear.

Tang Ruiyang regained his energy and regretted a little why he had to wade through this muddy water, and now he was no longer human inside and outside.

"That…"

Before Tang Ruiyang finished speaking, the person on the other end of the phone continued: "I know your starting point is to repay Chang'an Group, but no matter what, you have no evidence to prove that others are engaging in monopoly. As for handling it this way, you can do whatever you want."

"Dududu——"

The call was immediately hung up.

Listening to the busy signal on his cell phone, Tang Ruiyang also planned to cut off his tail to survive, and quickly dialed the number of Vice President Jian Chunhe.

Ten minutes later.

Jian Chunhe came to the chairman's office.

As soon as he sat down on the sofa, Tang Ruiyang not only poured him a cup of tea himself, but also handed it to him with both hands and said: "Jianzi, you and I have known each other for 20 years, how do you treat me?"

"..."

Jian Chunhe immediately fell silent.

The moment he said these words, he knew what Tang Ruiyang wanted to do.

The "Joint Letter of Complaint" had an official seal. Not many people had access to the official seal of Chang'an Group, and Jian Chunhe was one of the few.

"It's true that we are brothers, but Brother Tang, the comments on the Internet nowadays are all centered on my mother and the relatives are the radius. If I go out, my eighty-year-old mother may not be able to bear it. ah."

Jian Chunhe took the tea and put it back in front of Tang Ruiyang.

Taking the blame?

How could he carry it!

Moreover, he also received word that photos from that dinner party were leaked. Once Tang Ruiyang was taken away for investigation, he could officially take over the position and control Changan Automobile Group.

"You can sit here, really don't miss the old feelings?" Tang Ruiyang picked up the cup of tea again and handed it to Jian Chunhe.

Jian Chunhe didn't hesitate at all, pushed away with his right palm and said: "Brother Tang, please don't force me. You have helped me a lot, but this is all earned by me working as a cow and a horse every day."

"ungrateful!"

Tang Ruiyang poured out the tea.

Jian Chunhe did not avoid it at all and let the tea splash on his face, but he simply wiped the water stains on his face and said:

"Ungrateful, hehe, I am ungrateful. My daughter goes to school, from kindergarten to elementary school, and I have never given it to you once. As for your daughter, I will wait at the gate of your community at six o'clock in the morning to give you gifts during the holidays. Even he I was the one who cleared the clogged sewer pipes, and you still want me to take the blame?"

Before Tang Ruiyang could speak further, Jian Chunhe left directly.

Not only Changan Group, but also the CEOs of the co-branded Longguo car companies have been held accountable to varying degrees. Chen Hong of SAIC Motor was even taken to the SASAC office in Shanghai to accept repeated questioning from leaders.

"Mr. Chen, you'd better come up with evidence as soon as possible that Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company are disrupting the market and monopolizing the market, otherwise this position will be replaced by someone else."

"I'm asking you a question, evidence!"

"Evidence...evidence..." Chen Hong hesitated, glancing left and right. This time he finally understood that he had hit a real iron plate.

You must know that although he is the chairman of SAIC, he is only responsible for business operations and general direction judgment. The real "behind-the-scenes board of directors" is actually the Shanghai Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

The CEOs of the four jointly signed domestic car companies have all had their fill of tea.

As the organizer, Masik shivered when he heard the news. He didn't expect that things would develop like this.

However, he has no regrets. He is not familiar with Chen Hong and Zeng Hong. In addition, he has sued Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company in the name of eighteen car companies on the grounds of unfair market competition. These bosses have no use value anymore.

When the court formally accepts the case, the two parties will need to go to court. If Linghang 001 has no profit, it will prove that Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Rice Company have really disrupted the market and acted maliciously.

If he wins the lawsuit, Masik can use it to make a fuss. (End of chapter)
