Black Technology: Start with Ten Thousand Times Speed

When Krejci woke up, he saw several familiar faces.

Mr. Krejci, you're awake.

His subordinates asked with concern.

Several other people also turned to look at him, some greeted him with concern, some continued to be silent, and some were on the phone.

Krechi blinked and looked around. Seeing the familiar environment in the luxurious private room, his consciousness gradually returned to consciousness, and he slowly remembered what happened before he fell into coma.

Mr. Krejci, you have been unconscious for a few minutes. I have called an ambulance. It should arrive soon. Please don't move around yet.

His subordinate continued.

However, Krejci ignored his own body and grabbed his subordinate's wrist, subconsciously exerting all his strength so that the young and strong subordinate felt obvious pain.

He looked at his subordinates steadily, like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw, and asked with hope in his eyes:

There is no so-called upgraded version of Thor's battery. Maybe I remembered it wrong, or you were joking on purpose, right?

The blond young man was silent for a while.

Krechi suddenly shouted:

Tell me! Right?!

His voice was hoarse, and there were still specks of blood on his collar and chest. Coupled with his twisted and ferocious expression, his whole person seemed to have a murderous aura that wanted to devour others.

The blond young man was shocked by his appearance for a moment and didn't know how to speak.

Others also turned their heads to look over.

One of them sighed lightly and said, It's true. Apocalypse Energy has indeed released an upgraded version of the Thor battery. They named it the Thor 1 battery.

Krejci turned to look at the man and murmured: Then why was there no news before? They didn't even hold a press conference for this?

perhaps……

The man glanced at Krejci hesitantly, and then said softly:

...They just feel that the upgraded Thor battery is not worthy of a special press conference.

After all, the previous press conferences held were basically products that disrupted the industry. Although Thor One is powerful, it is only based on the upgrade of Thor batteries. For Tianqi Group, this product may not be very important.

Krejci's eyes were blank, and he subconsciously let go of his hand. His whole body was like a deflated rubber ball, and he leaned weakly on the back of the chair.

The Thor No. 1 that beat him to the point of vomiting blood was indeed nothing to the Tianqi Group.

This gap made him completely despair.

Originally, if the nine major car companies did not mess around and cooperated with Tianqi Group and drank some soup with Tianqi Group like other car companies, they might not be able to regain their previous glory, but at least they would be able to survive steadily.

But they were struggling.

The nine major car companies almost exhausted their resources before reluctantly developing a backward product, which was completely crushed by the Thor One.

On the contrary, all the vitality is exhausted.

Although the launch of Zeus batteries breaks the market monopoly of Thor batteries, it is of great significance to various countries and major car companies.

But in the capital market, no one cares about their illusory significance and only cares about whether it can bring actual benefits.

Besides their nine major car companies, will anyone else consider using Zeus batteries?

Even the nine major car companies will not be competitive in the market if they use Zeus batteries. This will not only not help the promotion of Zeus batteries, but will also harm the automobile industry.

But if no one uses it, what's the significance of the Zeus battery developed?

The nine major car companies have invested huge amounts of money in the development of Zeus batteries. If they cannot recover the costs, they may face bankruptcy.

There are also twelve power battery factories that have just been established. Is it possible that they spend money to support them?

Thinking of this, Krechi only felt that the future prospects were dark.

Junma Company's capital chain has already encountered difficulties. Now it is only hoped that the release of Zeus Batteries will rebound the company's stock price and make shareholders optimistic. It is not impossible to continue to increase capital.

If everything went as they imagined, the funding problem would be easily solved.

But now there is a problem.

The news of Thor 1 may not have spread yet. When the company's shareholders know that they have invested so much money but only developed a backward product, they will definitely be furious, and his position may not be saved.

Moreover, such a failed investment is also extremely bad news for the stock market, which will definitely cause the stock price to plummet further.

Due to the problems in the capital chain and this series of blows, it is possible that Zhanma Motors, which has a history of more than 100 years, will go bankrupt from now on.

unless……

Unless we focus on the lower end of the market.

At this time, a voice came from the crowd.

Krejci and other executives turned around and saw that the person speaking was Nuske, the founder and CEO of Rattus.

You go out first. When the ambulance comes, let them wait. I will check later.

Krejci waved his hand, signaling the blond young man to step back. The latter nodded to express his understanding, and then exited the private room, closing the door gently.

Nusk glanced at everyone, and continued: For the current plan, we have no way to turn back. We can only find a way out if we go to the extreme on the low-end route.

Xinneng Company is a joint venture established by us. Although it is also a separate company, we can ignore its profitability and supply our nine major car companies at cost prices.

This extreme cost reduction, coupled with the gap in import tariffs, allows our car costs to be able to suppress other car companies locally.

The most important thing in the low-end market is cost performance. As long as our price is low enough, we can cover up many shortcomings in performance, allowing us to survive well in the local low-end market.

The same low-end car, Longguo car costs 110,000, if we only need 90,000, even if the battery is not as good as the other party's, so what?

It will still be popular.

After all, the Zeus battery is completely lagging behind in terms of performance parameters and other aspects. It is essentially a solid-state battery. The core safety and high and low temperature stability are not much different from the Thor battery. It is not impossible to compete with it.

Moreover, as long as the normal operation of the new energy company is guaranteed, we can still apply for policy support.

This will also give us a boost.

Hearing this, the others looked at each other.

They ain't nobody thought of that.

However, this kind of competition is not just about one or a few models taking the ultimate cost-effective route, but represents the entire company's comprehensive low-end strategy.

Because at that time, everyone will have a perception in their hearts - Zeus batteries are low-end, and Thor batteries are high-end.

Entry-level cars priced around 100,000 dragon coins are fine. Users mainly focus on cost-effectiveness. As long as the overall performance is not too different, price is the decisive factor.

But once you enter the mid-to-high-end market, the gap between 20,000 and 30,000 dragon coins, and the gap in core technology and brand power, does not seem very important in the eyes of many people.

Just like the people of Longguo chasing horses, galloping and other famous brands before, with the same configuration, it doesn't matter even if it costs an extra 100,000 or 20,000.

The same goes for users in other countries.

Now the mainstream in the world is the Longguo car, and the high-end technology is the Raytheon battery, so what if it costs tens of thousands more?

value!

Krejci and others all know that once they focus on the low-end market and take the ultimate cost-effective route, it will further deepen the inherent impression of users. In the future, it will be difficult to change users' perceptions and return to the high-end market!

The most important thing is that taking the ultimate cost-effective route means that profits are very meager. In the future, you can only earn some hard-earned money. It is estimated that you will have to find ways to cut workers' benefits and reduce various expenses in order to increase the company's profits as much as possible.

Otherwise, the financial report data will not look good, which will be a disaster in itself for these major car companies.

But with the existence of workers' unions, they may cause a lot of trouble if they cut wages and benefits.

Everyone looked hesitant.

One of them had a look of dissatisfaction on his face: Damn it! It's rare that I can only be like those Asians...

These words speak to everyone's feelings.

Over the years, they have been accustomed to making money from a high position. They only need to tell stories and show off their brands, and people in backward areas will wave a lot of money and chase their products with excitement and longing.

Even though they have been gradually losing ground in front of Longguo Automobile for more than a year, they have not thought about reducing profits too much and only rely on cost-effectiveness to make money.

In their view, this is something only poor enterprises in backward areas would do.

Just like a gold-collar worker who thinks he is superior, even if he is unemployed and depressed, he will not do the hard work that he once looked down upon.

Newsk snorted disdainfully.

indecisive!

We've already reached a critical moment of life and death, and you're still putting on airs. Do you still think it's a situation where technology was ahead in the past?

If you are undecided, then go back and wait for the board of directors to make a decision, and let's discuss it together. Zeus Battery is owned by everyone, and everyone's strategic planning should be synchronized, so that it is conducive to everyone's development.

My opinion is to lower your profile and adopt a low-end strategy. Survive first and then plan for follow-up. As for you, you can go back and discuss it yourself.

That's it, farewell!

With that said, Newsk turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, another person suddenly asked:

Will the press conference be held tomorrow?

Newsk stepped on his feet.

The others were also stunned for a moment.

They had excitedly made appointments with the media before, saying they would hold a grand press conference and set off a new trend around the world.

They also deliberately sold it out and held it only in the name of Zhanma Motors. They planned to wait for the media to arrive before everyone showed up together to surprise the whole world and shock Tianqi Energy.

But now.

Apocalypse Energy nonchalantly issued an announcement on its official website, announcing the launch of Thor 1, which is much more powerful than Zeus Battery.

But their nine major car companies released the Zeus battery with great fanfare, which was obviously far behind?

What's so surprising about this?

It is simply a joke to the whole world!
