Technology overlord starts with new energy vehicles

And just when the Kyushu Auto live broadcast room was closed, it was also in Jiangzhou City, in a hotel meeting room.

A large circle of foreigners stared at the end of the live broadcast in front of them with solemn faces, unable to speak for a long time.

After a long time, Kunlan Silva knocked on the table and drew everyone's attention back: "Well, how do you feel about the new sodium-ion battery of Kyushu Automobile?"

Someone said without hesitation: "Fake, everything is fake, what kind of sodium-ion battery must be fake!"

The person next to him also said: "In a few days, it is impossible to come up with the technology of sodium-ion batteries in a short period of time. Kyushu Motors is just a smoke bomb! They want to fight against us in the stock market and futures market!"

"For Kyushu Automobile Factory, it will definitely use some means to announce a battery technology that seems to be particularly powerful, saying that it does not need lithium ore resources, all in order to compete with us!"

"Should I say it or not, this battery is indeed very powerful in terms of performance, it would be great if I could get the technology!"

"After all, I just saw a live broadcast, and I don't know the specific technology in it. Whether it is a real sodium-ion battery is still open to question."

"Kyushu Automobile, which is so close at hand, didn't invite us to participate in this product launch. It's annoying, but at the same time, I wonder if that technology is true or not?"

"We still have to see whether Kyushu Automobile can produce a large amount of sodium-ion battery products. If not, it means that lithium ore resources are still needed."

"And if sodium-ion batteries can be mass-produced, then it means that we have lost, and there will be no place that can threaten Kyushu Automobile in the future."

The executives of most automobile companies are unwilling to believe in the new battery of Kyushu Motors.

However, among the crowd, some individuals were shaken in their hearts.

"This company, I have to say in terms of technology, is indeed very powerful. If it continues to develop, after two or three years, there will be no room for our car brands in China to survive."

"Well, maybe we should plan ahead. Didn't Volkswagen and Peugeot also cooperate with Kyushu before?"

"Purchase the power system of new energy electric vehicles, and there are already new electric vehicle models. It may be difficult to make progress in electric vehicles in China, but there is still its own domestic territory."

"New energy trams may also be very suitable. Nowadays, countries around the world are advocating energy conservation and reducing carbon emissions..."

"In general, it's still a wait-and-see situation."

The meeting of the executives of many automobile companies did not discuss any specific results, and in the end they still waited for more changes.

And then, there is no need to wait too long for verification.

In a blink of an eye, a week passed.

During this week, Kyushu Automobile still has the same attitude as before and does not accept negotiations.

Let this group of company executives feel ashamed and very angry.

But as time went by, the bad premonition in everyone's heart became more and more serious.

There is no more calmness and arrogance at the beginning, and many people even frown all day long.

A week has passed, although Kyushu Automobile has not yet carried out large-scale car deliveries.

In this regard, it should be the new sodium-ion battery, which is undergoing official testing and approval procedures and so on.

However, in terms of factories, the sodium-ion battery factory has been carrying out production tasks recently.

It was still a hotel conference room, but this time, the senior executives of many automobile companies were like eggplants beaten by frost.

Kunlan Silva: "From what I heard, Kyushu Motors launched a new battery factory, produced new batteries, and used new technologies. Many employees who had worked well in the lithium iron phosphate battery factory went to New position, promotion and salary increase..."

"We were all deceived. Kyushu Motors actually had a plan for sodium-ion batteries from the very beginning!"

"True and false, false and true, what is true and what is false? During the previous negotiations, Kyushu Motors also mentioned that they already have plans for sodium-ion batteries. Now it seems that they are real!"

"The factory that is producing sodium-ion batteries is open 24 hours a day, and the battery packs produced are not fake."

"From spending money to find someone to understand the situation, Kyushu Automobile has also purchased a large amount of metallic sodium recently, so what should we do?"

"Wait, wait, maybe these are all fake, Chinese people are cunning and cunning!"

"All of this was planned by Kyushu Motors. We are all prey. The short-selling force that suddenly appeared is definitely Kyushu Motors."

"We have invested close to 20 billion U.S. dollars, and now we have lost everything if we give up everything. Not only will we fail to achieve our goals, but we will also lose a large amount of money."

More than one billion US dollars is not a big problem in the eyes of various car companies, but it is enough for the executives of these companies to feel heartbroken for a long time, and the company has worked for nothing for several months!

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."

Apart from waiting, they have no good way to target Kyushu Automobile.

In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

This day is Kyushu Automobile's first product delivery after more than a month.

A total of more than 7,600 new energy trams and more than 10,000 hybrid trams have been delivered.

This is an order that has been accumulated for nearly two months. The battery cannot be produced, but the car has never been shut down. Kyushu Automobile knows its own affairs clearly. After the matter is over, the car should be sold and still have to be sold!

At the same time, for the new sodium-ion battery, because of the long-term preparations, all aspects of equipment have already been prepared. Once produced, the production capacity can reach a very good figure.

Enough to meet the daily sales of Kyushu Automobile, Huaxia Automobile, Jiuyuan Electric Vehicle, and low-speed electric vehicles!

The half-month production also made up for the battery pack that was shut down for nearly a month before production.

Moreover, the second-generation sodium-ion battery of Hengxin Battery Factory is still expanding its production capacity, changing many previous battery factories into new sodium-ion battery production plants.

Prepare for the upcoming sales explosion.

Everything returns to stability.

After the dust settled, Kyushu Automobile produced sodium-ion batteries without purchasing lithium ore resources.

And these car companies have also confirmed the truth of this news by purchasing low-speed electric vehicles equipped with sodium-ion batteries.

The executives of the automobile company have lived in the hotel in Jiangzhou City for more than a month, and today is the next meeting.

Even this time, there were less than ten car company executives attending the meeting, and several car company executives had already left early.

With the arrival of sodium-ion batteries, this small group gathered by Kyushu Motors also fell apart.

Kunlan Silva, looking at the conference room where several people were missing, sighed and said: "Hey, Kyushu Automobile, starting today, there is no way to stop this company."

The rest of the executives of the car company next to them either frowned and sighed, or they still couldn't believe it.

"For new energy trams, the battery cost of today's sodium-ion batteries is even lower than that of the previous lithium iron phosphate batteries, which is more conducive to the development of China's new energy trams."

"Obviously the world's top battery experts said that it is difficult to realize sodium-ion batteries, but they did not expect that it was still realized by Kyushu Automobile. How can the research and development strength be so strong."

"With more than 20 billion funds, who would have thought that Kyushu Motors would start developing sodium-ion batteries so early? Did they expect such a day?"

"There are also previous negotiations. Now that I think about it, there are too many loopholes in the middle. They are all a bureau, in order for us to continue to increase the price of lithium resources."

"Xu Yifan from Kyushu Motors is very good, and the presidents of those subsidiaries are also very good!"

"Why do these breakthroughs in tram technology not appear in our company, but in our country, we also have a lot of money for research and development every year..."

"The world's automobile structure may undergo drastic changes. Now Kyushu Automobile has initially formed its own power."

Amidst the sighs and sighs of the crowd, some words were left unsaid.

The small team disbanded, the cooperative relationship came to an end, and everyone suffered heavy losses.

In the future, the relationship will also return to the competitor.

Some people hate the appearance of Kyushu Automobile on the surface, but deep down in their hearts, they are planning for the company's future.

"There are still some opportunities in China. Although sales have fallen sharply, they have not yet hit the bottom. Maybe we can start from this aspect. Many people in this country still recognize our brand of cars very much."

"Let's sell it at a lower price. The Fit sells for 49,000, and the Civic sells for 79,000. As long as the price is low enough, there will still be some domestic consumers in China who will choose it. But if this is the case, the profit will no longer be as much as it used to be. .”

"In the future, we will not be able to increase the price to sell, but if the price is not exchanged for sales, it is very likely that after one or two years, the business in Huaxia will be completely replaced by Kyushu Automobile."

"Losing the entire Huaxia market, or lowering prices to ensure survival, it is still clear which is more important!"

"Maybe in another year or two, Huaxia will be completely dominated by Kyushu Automobile."

"However, apart from Huaxia, there are still many countries that can still maintain their previous appearance. Huaxia is the home field of Kyushu Automobile, and the countries where various brands are located are the umbrellas of these brands, which can prevent the auto industry from being dominated by Kyushu Automobile in their respective countries. companies beat."

"However, with the international attention, the world's attention to environmental protection may also focus on electric vehicles, and electric vehicles, now only Kyushu Motors in the world has the world's top electric vehicle technology."

"Maybe we can cooperate. It doesn't make sense for Volkswagen and Peugeot, but we BMW can't!"

Such an idea is not just a certain person and a company.

The top executives of these car companies who are working will naturally consider the company's future after confirming the failure.

There are no permanent enemies, no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

Although these commercial old fritters were aggressive before, they looked like they were going to eat Kyushu Automobile.

But if there is a possibility of cooperation to make money, you can still laugh and chat with Kyushu Motor executives.

The last meeting of the major car companies ended hastily.

The next day, in Kyushu Automobile Company, several executives from the automobile company met and nodded slightly to each other.

"If you can find a way to make up for the money lost from Kyushu Automobile, then it is not impossible to talk about cooperation!"

"Before, the presidents of Kyushu Automobile seemed to have said that cooperation is possible, and they welcome it very much!"

"I just came over to take a look. I didn't expect everyone to think of going together. If this is the case, maybe we can negotiate some benefits together."

They are all old foxes, so how could everyone not be clear about their thoughts.

The rise of new energy trams is unavoidable. As an established car manufacturer, they cannot completely abandon this track!

The lessons of Nokia in the past are vivid, and the huge mobile phone empire collapsed in just two or three years.

Today, there are iphone companies and Kyushu Motors Corporation, such emerging forces in the mobile phone and automobile industries.

If you don't want to be the Nokia of yesteryear, you can't completely ignore new technologies.

Besides, when these big companies develop fuel-powered vehicles, it is understandable to develop the tram business by the way.

Purchase a part of the electric vehicle power system of Kyushu Automobile, and try to produce a small number of electric vehicles first. If the response is good, then expand the production capacity at that time.

The arrival of several senior executives of the automobile company greeted them with smiles on the faces of several company presidents of Kyushu Automobile as if nothing had happened.

For such a situation, the executives of Kyushu Motors still warmly received them.

After learning about the purpose of these people, he reported the matter to Xu Yifan.

For these car companies, they want to cooperate with Kyushu Motors again to purchase part of the tram power system for the production of new energy trams for their respective car companies.

Xu Yifan didn't object either, making money is still quite welcome. If Kyushu Auto wants to become the world's top car company, it is impossible to completely avoid dealing with these car companies.

Moreover, if everyone has a tram plan, it will also be conducive to the comprehensive promotion of new energy trams to the world. There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Well, of course, Xu Yifan will not forget that these companies came aggressively before and wanted to eat Kyushu Motors. As a young man, he still holds a grudge!

The parts purchase prices of these companies are half as high as those of domestic cars, and 20% higher than those of Volkswagen and Peugeot, which are also joint venture car companies.

This is the price, buy it or not, forget it!

Buy it now, no negotiating!

The attitude has changed. Now Kyushu Automobile, as a supplier, will not show good looks to the executives of these car companies who have festivals!

Moreover, each motor power system of Kyushu Automobile has a separate number to prevent other car companies from selling them privately to these car companies. Once Kyushu Automobile finds out, it will take measures to deal with it.

Depending on the severity of the situation, the supply price of parts for the corresponding company will increase, or the purchase quantity of the company's motor power system will be reduced. If the situation is particularly serious, the cooperation in the purchase of motor power system will be directly cancelled!

In the end, the supply contract was reached, and the executives of these automobile companies left with a small part of Kyushu's motor power system.
