Black technology: starting from ten thousand times faster

Chapter 74 Su Xin's Ambition

On the afternoon of the day just after the press conference, the global auto industry had a tendency to shake.

Some well-informed big names have already started selling stocks.

Under the surprised eyes of many uninformed shareholders, the stock prices of many traditional car companies have already shown a clear downward trend.

The whole country of Sakura was wailing.

The media is also full of negative voices.

There are also countries such as kimchi country, beer country, romantic country, eagle sauce country and so on.

These countries are all developed countries, and they are also the overlords in the era of traditional fuel vehicles. The cars they produce have accounted for more than half of the global auto industry in the past 100 years.

For these countries, the automobile industry is also a pillar industry. Although the proportion of the GDP of the automobile industry is not as high as that of Sakura Country, it still has an extremely important position.

And now.

With the release of solid-state battery technology, in addition to the most nervous cherry blossom country, the top executives of the auto industry in these countries also became nervous after receiving relevant information.

The executives of the world's top car companies such as Wanzhong, Junma, Mercedes-Benz, and Ford held an emergency meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures.

Su Xin's press conference caused quite a stir around the world.

Perhaps most ordinary people haven't noticed it yet, but for practitioners in the auto industry, they can already feel the depression that is about to come.

By the second day.

Even some small power battery manufacturers who are not well informed have learned about solid-state batteries through various channels.

In addition to traditional fuel car companies and upstream and downstream supply chains, these power battery manufacturers are the most alarmed in front of Raytheon Battery.

Even in the Hengde era, high-tech and other top power battery manufacturers' executives are gloomy.

And right now.

Apocalypse Technology called.

……

Office of the President of Hengde Times.

Zeng Daqun sat on the boss chair, folded his hands under his chin, and frowned.

Because of the solid-state battery, he didn't sleep well all night. In the end, he couldn't calm down. He came to the company at six o'clock in the morning and seriously thought about how to deal with the coming terrible storm and the strategic adjustment plan for the Hengde era.

But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any good way to deal with it.

Technology is far behind.

The price is not much different.

They are not competitive at all.

Not to mention whether it can catch up in the future, but whether it can survive the attack of Apocalypse Energy in the future is a question mark.

At this time-

"Jingle bell! Jingle bell!"

When Zeng Daqun came back to his senses, he found that the intercom phone on the desk was ringing, and only then did he notice that it was already bright outside.

He pressed the connect button casually, and the secretary's voice came from inside immediately: "Mr. Zeng, Mr. Liu from Apocalypse Technology is calling."

Zeng Daqun was shocked immediately.

The word 'Apocalypse' has circulated tens of thousands of times in his mind from yesterday to today, so that he woke up completely when he heard the word, and said hastily:

"Help me connect!"

He picked up the phone, and the secretary just transferred Liu Qingli's call.

"Hello, is this Mr. Zeng? I'm Liu Qingli, the CEO of Apocalypse Technology."

"Hi, I'm Zeng Daqun."

"Mr. Zeng, I won't go around the bush. You should have seen yesterday's press conference, right?"

"The name of Raytheon Battery has spread all over the world. As an industry insider, I am of course paying attention." Zeng Daqun said indifferently.

"Then let me just say that Raytheon batteries have successfully started mass production, but after all, the output is limited. In the face of such a large auto market at home and abroad, it is definitely not enough for a single factory to supply. So we want to acquire some factories under the name of Hengde Times. I wonder what Zeng Zong's plan is?"

Zeng Daqun frowned, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he stopped.

If it was a day ago, with the operating conditions of the Hengde era, let alone selling the factory, they would like to continue to expand production capacity to meet the increasing demand for orders.

But now.

With the release of solid-state battery technology, he can almost see a bleak future.

only.

Even if he knew that his business would decline sharply in the future, he didn't want to be taken over by others.

What's more, if the factory is sold to Apocalypse Technology, the production capacity of the other party will increase, and it will seize the market share of Hengde Times at a faster speed.

This behavior is tantamount to capitalizing on the enemy.

So, after thinking for a while, Zeng Daqun still shook his head: "Sorry, Hengde era has no idea of ​​selling the factory."

Liu Qingli smiled:

"Mr. Zeng, let's not talk dark words. You should know what the situation is now. The emergence of Raytheon battery will definitely make all other power batteries lose the market. In addition, your price has no advantage. To put it bluntly, as the production capacity of Apocalypse Energy continues to expand, other manufacturers will surely go bankrupt one by one."

"Even if Apocalypse Energy has not had time to expand, it is almost impossible for other manufacturers to receive new orders."

"After all, everyone knows that better Raytheon batteries will be on the market soon. How can customers buy backward products? If there are no customers to buy, how can automakers continue to place orders? Even their existing orders may be canceled one after another."

"Mr. Zeng, fuel vehicles have been eliminated, and liquid lithium batteries have also been eliminated. No matter how hard you struggle, it's useless. If you can't keep up with technology, you will only die."

"Hengde Times is currently the power battery company with the highest market share, but your business is not limited to power batteries, but also fuel cells, super capacitors, mineral investment, etc. Selling the power battery factory is equivalent to cutting off the rotten meat on your body. Although the process is painful, it can protect other industries."

"It's the best way to save yourself."

"Otherwise, once the power battery project completely collapses, the rot is likely to spread to other parts and affect the entire group."

"Mr. Zeng, we are willing to buy at the current market price. This is the greatest sincerity."

Hearing this, Zeng Daqun couldn't help but fell silent.

When I held a video conference with several senior executives yesterday, everyone was already mentally prepared for this.

It is impossible to catch up with the technology of the power battery, and it is unrealistic to overtake on a curve. After all, they have already invested too much in it, and there is no chance to start all over again.

Next, the power battery factory under the name of Hengde Times has almost no choice but to wait for death.

They really can't think of a solution.

Now the original price acquisition proposed by Liu Qingli can be said to be the best choice in the Hengde era.

After a moment of silence, Zeng Daqun finally spoke with difficulty: "I understand Mr. Liu's meaning, but I can't make the decision on this matter alone. I need to discuss it with several other executives."

Liu Qingli smiled and said, "Okay."

"By the way, there is one more thing to remind Mr. Zeng. The boss told me that our next goal is to acquire up to 30 power battery factories, and we will negotiate our intention within a month."

"I will be negotiating with many power battery manufacturers at the same time these days. If the acquisition target is reached by then, I will not continue the acquisition. Therefore, I hope Mr. Zeng can give an answer as soon as possible."
