Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Chapter 859 Musk’s visit

Future Geometry is becoming more and more powerful at home and abroad. It is still being squeezed out by many car companies at home. Needless to say, abroad, there must be explicit or covert opposition from all parties.

Qu Li doesn't want to know this, at least not now, who is being targeted. There is no point in discussing it before doing his "duty" as a car company.

What is "duty"? Good quality control and after-sales service. If it were not for holding Mitsubishi and receiving a large number of talent support, it would be difficult for Qiancheng Fuel Vehicles to provide good after-sales service in countries around the world. It would even be difficult to think of the need to optimize the cars sold in the Middle East. Air conditioning refrigeration and key parts undergo special cooling treatments.

Xia Mingfei was originally responsible for establishing the sales system, including after-sales service. His position itself represented Qu Li's emphasis on part of the business.

Qu Li also emphasized during the meeting: "Use the money we save in brand marketing to improve the level of after-sales service..."

Although 5P does not boast zero advertising expenses like Tesla, but with its strong "influence" of public opinion, the advertising investment is indeed the least among well-known domestic car companies, because it deserves bragging, Qu Li posted on Weibo and Instagram All blown.

Who at home and abroad doesn’t know that Geometry is the world’s largest new energy vehicle company? Unlike Biradi, although it has relied on the domestic market to lead Tesla for a long time, it is not recognized globally.

Faced with the imperfect electric vehicle industry chain in China, BYD made a big bet and finally decided to learn from Toyota and form its own system. However, other car companies did not dare to bet. They wanted to develop new energy vehicles without a complete supply chain and no Money supports suppliers, but major state-owned companies such as Modu Automobile have not shouldered their due obligations, so they sit back and watch BYD stand in the spotlight.

It can be said that Budi's subsequent success was more fortunate and more the result of their efforts over more than ten years. There may really be no second car company in China that can replace Biradi. If state-owned enterprises do not act, we cannot rely on Chrysanthemum Factory to be "far ahead" in everything, right?

Of course, it is a general trend that the upstream and downstream industrial chains of new energy will appear concentrated in China, which is a reflection of the strength of the "world factory". Otherwise, Tesla would not have promised to achieve 100% localization rate in order to enter China.

Many issues must be viewed dialectically. Tesla's success in entering the Chinese market has increased capital confidence, ensured the inflow of funds into this industry, and promoted the upgrading of the entire industry chain. It can be said that Tesla has great influence on China's new energy vehicles. The contribution of the industry should exceed that of Biradi, which is a self-contained system.

Now that there is Geometry 5, everything is different. Just like there are concept stocks of Honor supply chain companies for smartphones, there are also Geometry concept stocks on the market, such as CATL.

Honor has Honeycomb Energy, and Qiancheng Geometry has built its own Geometry Energy company focusing on lithium iron phosphate. It has begun to develop "blade batteries" with no module design, but it is preparing "Dagger + Flying Batteries" for plug-in hybrid vehicles. Stack” batteries. If the technology is feasible, it may be expanded into Biradi's "Long Knife" blade battery.

These designs are basically preparations for battery-chassis integration technology, and the dagger battery can not only use lithium iron phosphate but also ternary lithium. It depends on when it can be realized. According to Qu Li's emphasis, it should be within three to five years. Can it be mass produced?

Compared with Audi, which has turned to ternary lithium, and Qiancheng Geometry, which has developed lithium iron phosphate, domestic power battery development directions have shown diversified choices. In other words, under the demonstration effect of Qiancheng Geometry, domestic independent brands and major car companies have increased their efforts in this area. With investment, there are more and more companies in the entire industry chain.

The logic behind this is very simple. Use intelligent pure electric vehicles to open up the international market and achieve brand upgrades. This is the road ahead. What’s more important is that Quli not only did not set limits on this road, but also provided various kind of help. Separate Honeycomb Energy and Great Wall Huaguan to provide services to friends. As for CATL's shares, they were transferred to Tianming Fund and are still a future supply chain company.

It can be said that domestic funds invested in the new energy vehicle industry are much more than at the same time in history. The strength of each car company varies, and it is difficult to evaluate, but there is a lot of future ahead, and there is a lot of competition at the bottom, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Tesla. Therefore, during this period of time in China, there is a lot of speculation that Tesla will enter the Chinese market, and the industry is generally opposed to it.

From a macro perspective, the country is indeed not afraid of Tesla becoming bigger, but the key is that car companies are afraid. Geometry dominates the world. Tesla is the second-largest new energy vehicle company after Geometry, and BYD is eyeing the back. Wei Xiaoli what to do? What to do with Angelique Chery, the Chief of the Great Wall? What will happen to the large joint venture companies that used to make money on their own?

Comrade Jianguo's three days passed quickly. Musk did not leave. He talked for a few days in Beijin and went to Xingsha to see Qu Li and his Super Factory 2.0.

"What do you think I need to do to enter the Chinese market?" Musk

"I don't know how to do it specifically, but I can tell you which city Tesla is most likely to settle in, but you have to point me to Galaxy Power." Qu Li

"Deal!" Musk

"Magic City!" Qu Li recommended this city to Musk and introduced in detail some of the things he knew. Anyway, it is quite friendly to foreign investment and has rich human resources.

Whether or not Qu Li talks about it will have little impact. Anyway, Tesla cannot build a factory in Xingsha because it has to take into account exports, so it will definitely choose coastal cities and exclude them one by one. Musk wants to build a factory independently rather than jointly build a factory, so he must have a certain degree of influence with the court, so cities like Tianjing and Ningbo can be excluded, leaving Pengcheng, Yangcheng and Magic City, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. The GDP of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao is twice that of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.

Soon Qu Li and Musk arrived at the Galaxy Power headquarters in Yangcheng. Musk was a "greater" hero than Qu Li in the eyes of Liu Baiqi and others, so he received a warm welcome. You said confidentiality, well, yes, but the gap between everyone is too big...

It’s just a joke to say that Musk pointed out Galaxy Power. It’s only a one-day trip. At most, he can ask a few professional engineering questions. Even if Musk has great feelings, he is not a “second-rate person”. In the end, he is still a capitalist and must give priority to himself. Interests.

Because of the short time, he only took a quick look at the factory. The development difficulties of Galaxy Power were much greater than those of SpaceX. Qu Li only imagined that the two companies would establish a private international space station in the future.

However, Musk has no similar plan. Later, Bezos' Blue Origin wanted to build "Orbital Reef", a US consortium wanted to build "Starlab", and it seems that other companies wanted to build private space stations.

"If you want to build a space station, I can help you launch it..." Musk said arrogantly

Galaxy Power’s first thought was to survive, but SpaceX no longer has to consider this issue.
