Technology overlord starts with new energy vehicles

Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

In the high-rise building of the Suzuki Group headquarters, in a luxurious office with the president's room, a middle-aged and elderly man in his sixties was packing his belongings.

Pens, notebooks, roller pens, tea cups, tea sets, writing brushes, etc.

Each item has been used for a long time, and the familiar items are packed into boxes, ready to be packed away later.

The office changed owners, and Suzuki Masahiro, the original chairman of the Suzuki Group and president of Suzuki Co., Ltd., could no longer continue to work in this office.

From the corner of the desk, Suzuki Masahiro found a writing brush that had not been used for a long time. When he put it away, he sighed.

"My father worked in this office, and I have worked here for twenty years..."

At this time, nearly two months have passed since Jiuzhou Technology Company cooperated with major car companies.

Within two months, no matter what conditions the Japanese and Korean car companies offered, how much benefits they gave up, and even almost gave the company to the other party for free, Kyushu Technology Company remained unmoved.

In addition to various Japanese and Korean automobile companies working hard to save themselves, Japanese and Korean ministers are also striving for cooperation with Kyushu Technology from all aspects.

They don't want to lose the automobile manufacturing industry even if they pay a huge price.

However, in the final result, Jiuzhou Technology Company refused to save itself. Even if it gave up some of its profits, it would still destroy the manufacturing industry of Japanese and Korean car companies.

Thinking of the experiences of the previous few months, Suzuki Mahiro still felt that it all seemed like a relatively long dream.

Originally two or three years ago, Jiuzhou Technology was just a brand that was not recognized by its domestic consumers in China, relying on low-speed electric vehicles that even Japanese and Korean car companies looked down upon.

Although it has certain technical strength in electric vehicle battery technology, it is not enough to pose any threat to international car companies.

Japanese and Korean companies eat meat in China, and Jiuzhou Technology just picks up some of the leftovers they don’t want.

Then suddenly, Kyushu Technology released a top-notch sports car with world-class power, which stunned car companies around the world.

In China, the government spends a lot of money to subsidize consumers' car purchases, and gives the green light to all aspects of new energy electric vehicles. They ask for money to give money to people, and they ask for policies to give policies.

With strong official support, Jiuzhou Technology completed the charging and swapping layout of new energy electric vehicles in just one year, and its products are selling well.

And suddenly, Jiuzhou Technology Company came up with condensed solar energy, which had an impact on traditional automobiles. It cooperated with major automobile companies around the world, excluding Japanese and Korean car companies.

In just a few months, under the operation of multinational companies such as Volkswagen Group and General Motors, Ningguang new energy electric vehicles have blossomed around the world, with the advantages of environmental protection, saving money, strong power, etc.

In addition to ordinary car and SUV models, even trucks, buses and other models are also following suit to electrify.

"It seems like it has been not four years, but forty years! The changes in the world's automotive technology have never been so huge."

"Why is the future of automotive technology not hydrogen electric vehicles? Are we all wrong?"

After sighing again, Suzuki Mahiro looked at the calligraphy of Suzuki Corporation written by his grandfather on the office wall behind him.

"Suzuki Co., Ltd. was first established in 1920, and it has been more than 90 years since 2012."

"In the past 90 years, Suzuki has also been prosperous. Its products are sold well in Europe and the United States. It has sold millions of units annually in China. In 2009, it was also one of the top ten companies in the world in terms of car sales. It is a well-known company around the world. .”

"The automobile business has expanded to the world, and the motorcycle business is a world-renowned company. I originally thought that the future would get better and better, and that it would be able to continue to sell well in China, Europe and the United States for a hundred years."

"However, the blow came too fast. This time, the Suzuki Group was unable to withstand it. In this storm that swept through the entire Japanese and Korean companies, it was completely bitten to pieces."

Right or wrong, success or failure will turn around in vain!

Not only has the automobile business suffered a major blow, Suzuki Group's motorcycle business has also been attacked by Jiuyuan Electric Vehicles in the past two years.

A motor power system that is stronger than a fuel engine can naturally be mounted on an electric motorcycle. After replacing it with the Suzaku motor and corresponding controller from Kyushu Technology, the power performance is just like Kyushu Suzaku and is stronger than a fuel motorcycle. .

When it comes to high-performance motorcycles, Suzuki motorcycles are as complete a loser as cars.

Compared with ordinary household motorcycles, or electric vehicles, it is more convenient to replenish energy on electric motorcycles. You don’t need to go to a gas station. You can replenish energy at home. You can charge it overnight for a range of up to 200 kilometers.

The entire world seems to be accelerating towards electrification.

"Jiuzhou Technology, the automobile manufacturing industry in Japan and South Korea is completely over. Even if they can stay, they can only survive in their own countries..."

Suzuki Motors Chairman Masahiro Suzuki sighed deeply about everything that happened today, feeling incredibly dreamlike.

And such scenes don’t only happen within the Suzuki Motor Group!

The same thing happened to Nissan, Subaru, Daihatsu, Uniqlo, Nintendo, Mazda, Panasonic, Epson, Toshiba, Sega, and many other Japanese companies.

Almost all capital investment banking institutions are not optimistic about the future of Japan and South Korea, which have lost their first economic pillar.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the profit-seeking international capital will not show mercy and will only squeeze out the last drop of value from these Japanese companies, the stock market, and anything of value!

In addition to enterprises, individuals also suffered huge losses in this huge economic earthquake.

The money in their wallets has shrunk significantly, and some people have directly incurred lifelong debts.

Some people even choose to settle it because of this huge debt that will never be repaid!

Tokyo, the famous Tokyo Tower, has not lit up its colorful neon lights recently due to energy conservation.

Looking at the cityscape, the streets, office buildings and residential high-rises that usually have lights on all night long are completely dark today, and there are many fewer places with lights on.

To save energy, all non-essential lights have been turned off!

Electric energy is a precious energy source. Today, wind energy and solar power generation account for a very small proportion in the country. The mainstream power generation methods are either fuel oil, coal-fired power generation, or nuclear power.

However, oil, coal, and nuclear raw materials are all dependent on imports. Thanks to the sharp drop in currency value, the raw materials have doubled from before!

Nowadays, when all companies and governments are losing large amounts of money every day, every little bit they can save is worth it.

Even famous tourist spots on JD.com that were originally open have been closed recently due to some special reasons.

But for those who really want to leave, climbing a tower is easy!

Tokyo Tower, on the observation platform at the top of the tower, a middle-aged man was drinking wine and mumbling to himself.

"Obviously nothing has been done, but everything was fine a few months ago. Although I don't earn much from stocks, at least I can maintain my life."

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have invested in stocks or domestic companies, and I wouldn't have used leverage."

"It's only been a few months, and the stock has dropped to the limit every day. I can't sell the stocks I hold. I can only watch the assets continue to plummet until the position is liquidated."

"The general environment has led to overall losses, plus half of the money in hand has been lost out of thin air, and I owe a huge debt."

"It's so tiring. I don't want to work every day, but I can't even pay the interest. I have to live in a life of paying back money, and it will only become harder and harder to make money in the future."

“Instead of living like a machine controlled by capital, it’s better to get it over with.”

"Being a human is so tiring. If there is reincarnation, let me be a bird in my next life."

"Father, mother, please forgive me. I can't see the future. Even if I continue to live, it will only be painful."

After muttering to himself for a while, the middle-aged man drank the last drop of liquor in the bottle.

Throwing the wine bottle directly from the top platform of the tower, the middle-aged man closed his eyes and jumped forward, following the bottle.

boom----

boom------

One after another, the sound of broken glass and the sound of flesh colliding with the cement floor came.

At the bottom of the tower, a young man who had just prepared to climb Tokyo Tower sighed.

“It’s not lonely if you have company on the road.”

"It's a pity, it would be nice if it was a girl."

"Hahaha, Japan and South Korea are finished!"

"I hope I can travel to another world and be the protagonist in an anime!"

More than ten minutes later, there was another loud noise.

————————

Under the economic crisis, a large number of companies have closed down in a short period of time. Car companies have closed down, production and manufacturing have closed down on a large scale. All walks of life are struggling to survive, and even banks have closed down!

Naturally, some people have lost huge amounts of money due to the rapid economic collapse due to the general environment.

A large number of investors who originally held stocks of Japanese companies have all plummeted in debt and successfully turned into negative assets. Those with less debt are okay, but there are still many leverage geniuses, and their debts have taken off immediately.

Migrant workers who were originally in debt due to various reasons have now lost their jobs and cannot find new jobs. With rising prices, they have no money to eat, live, or pay rent.

Because of the worries caused by lack of money, I can no longer have a better life, work longer, but get less salary.

There are even many business owners who simply run away, unable to make a living without being able to pay wages, etc. Under the general environment, various reasons have led to the scene of flying people on the rooftop being staged in blockbuster movies!

With the huge blow suffered by Japanese and Korean automobile companies, in nearly two months, the ratio of Japanese yen to US dollars has reached the point where one US dollar can be exchanged for 160 yen.

Compared with the previous exchange rate of 80 yen for one U.S. dollar, it has doubled. This is the result of the Japanese side using all its efforts!

The overall economy has shrunk by half, and the money in people's hands is no longer as valuable as before. Companies want to purchase corresponding raw materials from outside, and they have to spend twice as much as before to buy the same resources.

You must know that the two developed countries, Japan and South Korea, are extremely resource-poor. Even if they are just to meet the needs of their citizens, they still need to engage in foreign trade in exchange for necessary resources.

From the most basic agricultural products and aquatic products to energy, ores, and chemical raw materials, everything depends on imports and cannot be changed.

Japan and South Korea need to import 97.8% of their natural gas, and their dependence on oil is even higher. Energy self-sufficiency is simply impossible to achieve. Even coal and nuclear raw materials (for nuclear power plants) rely heavily on imports, and nuclear power plants There are great risks.

In the past, relying on the automobile manufacturing industry, we were able to live a happy life. Now that the automobile manufacturing industry has suffered a huge blow, we will have to live a tight life in the future. It would be great if we could not starve to death!

The rise in production costs will inevitably lead to an increase in the price of the products produced. Only in order to maintain the status of making money without losing money, can at least sell products in the two countries at double the original price!

Companies can earn less profit, and the value of working capital on hand has been reduced by half in just a few months. As time goes by, even if the current situation is maintained, more companies will go bankrupt.

At the same time, the internal circulation of the two countries' own economies is also a problem. The local market lacks vitality and it is very difficult to stimulate local consumption. The small domestic market cannot support large-scale enterprises and high social welfare.

According to statistics from international organizations, in just the past two months, more than 3,000 Japanese companies have gone bankrupt, including hundreds of internationally renowned companies!

As these companies go bankrupt and more companies and factories choose to downsize their employees, the number of laid-off employees has reached more than five million, directly affecting the income of tens of millions of families and indirectly affecting all Japanese and Korean residents.

A large number of people are unemployed, the income of a large area is reduced, and the superimposed price rises, it will take off immediately!

The social benefits that were originally provided no longer have sufficient financial support as the economy declines, and cannot provide sufficient protection.

It is almost a dead end, but because there are still some aerospace technology companies, semiconductor materials and entertainment industries, etc., they are not completely dead yet, but a few have died first.

Regression is inevitable, but it is still better than some small, underdeveloped countries.

It’s just that many people who are used to life in developed countries cannot accept the changes in their lives and cannot accept that their lives have become like those they looked down upon before.

The huge impact of the economic recession has dealt a huge blow to many Japanese companies, people, and Japanese and Korean officials.

Fortunately, as time goes by, the impact of losing the automobile manufacturing industry will be accepted by the people and the world.

If this continues for two years, the economies of the two countries will gradually stabilize. Although life will no longer be the same as before, it can still be considered viable.

Japan and South Korea are both looking forward to the early end of this huge turmoil that has lasted for nearly two months.
