Global monopoly of technology

Things have finally returned to calm, and Lao Yu, who is in charge of Glory, heaved a sigh of relief. After this Yaozi came out, Glory was the most worried about it. Once it collapsed, it will affect chip production and supply time. Glory has just decided to launch products this year. The plan must fall apart.

The launch time of Honor's first-generation products basically depends on the delivery time of the first batch of chips from Xiongxin Electronics.

Fortunately, there is no danger.

...

Blue Coast Company, Galaxy City headquarters, CEO office.

Today, Luo Sheng rarely came to the company to clock in and go to work on time, but at this moment in his office, Yao Jianhong looked at the big boss with a look of astonishment, and carefully recalled what he said just now.

"Mr. Luo, I heard that right, are we going to enter the auto industry?"

Just now, when Yao Jianhong heard Luo Sheng's thoughts, the whole person was a little confused. He found that he could not catch up with the big BOSS's thinking at all. This cross-border simply didn't know what to say.

China is now a veritable automobile consumer country, but it is definitely not considered a strong automobile industry. The automobile industry is undoubtedly the backbone of modern high-end manufacturing. Whether a country’s manufacturing industry is advanced or backward, the automobile industry is to a large extent Can snoop one or two from it.

The Japanese, Americans, and Germans are representatives of the automotive field, and they are all large and powerful industrial manufacturing countries.

"You heard it right, but you may have understood it wrong. I want to build a car, not against Toyota and other traditional cars, but against Tesla's new energy electric vehicles. Not only that, the cars we want to build are unmanned and automatic. Drive." Luo Sheng said very positively.

For a while, Yao Jianhong was stunned and couldn't match a word. He felt it from Luo Sheng's expression and tone. It was really not a joke.

Does BOSS want to initiate a new round of major changes in the automotive industry?

Luo Sheng said in an orderly way: "It is implemented in three strategic steps. The first step is to build the company, the second step is to realize the sale of electric vehicles, and the third step is to realize unmanned automatic driving."

For the Côte d’Azur, there is no gene for making cars at all. The so-called interlacing is like a mountain, not to mention such a large span.

While the auto industry is a cyclical industry, the key point is that it is an asset-heavy industry with huge investment, slow turnover, and numerous competitors.

Yao Jianhong saw Luo Shengyun say lightly, but he didn't think so, but he would not object to it, and the objection would be invalid, not to mention that the BOSS has never overturned.

Obviously, Luo Sheng is trying to use innovative technology to drive industrial change and rise in the change.

Without dimensionality reduction, it is impossible to make those century-old giants in the auto industry.

Tesla is actually the same, but Tesla has not thought about the change of unmanned driving. It is just a new energy electric vehicle brand.

Yao Jianhong said: "Mr. Luo, I am afraid that the Blue Coast can't come up with so much money."

In fact, the Côte d’Azur is not short of money. The current cash reserves are at least US$40 billion. However, the company uses a lot of money. It is still fighting against Microsoft for subsidies, and it loses US$20-30 million every day.

There is also a large amount of research and development investment that requires money. In addition, to enter the groundless automotive industry, the initial investment is destined to be a huge amount of money.

After a while, Yao Jianhong asked: "Would you like to issue 10 billion US dollars in corporate bonds in advance?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng shook his head and said calmly: "No, enter this field and set up a joint venture company to invest in the Blue Coast. I personally have a certain amount of money. If I bring in a few more VCs, I will have more money. You can’t do it alone, and you think I build a car to sell it?"

Isn't this nonsense?Are you building a car and keeping it for sale?

The last sentence made Yao Jianhong puzzled. When he looked at Luo Sheng, he found the other party's mysterious smile, which was obviously a posture that he refused to say. The old Yao who sold this Guanzi was like a cat scratching his heart.

Yao Jianhong asked simply and directly: "Then how much is the registered capital of this subsidiary?"

Luo Sheng pondered for a moment and said: "35 billion yuan."

Yao Jianhong smacked his lips secretly, billions of handwriting can no longer satisfy the taste of BOSS, and now it is in the order of tens of billions, just at the scale of the registered capital, he feels that BOSS is heading for the goal of the industry giant.

Luo Sheng confessed the matter to Yao Jianhong and left the company. However, for a long time today, Lao Yao has been speculating about what Luo Sheng said, that the car was not built for the purpose of selling cars, but for what?

I can't figure this out even if I want to break my head.

...

The next day, Luo Sheng took his special plane to the capital.

The layout of new energy electric vehicles this time is definitely not as simple as it seems. This is an extremely ambitious strategic plan. No country can’t play it unless Luo Sheng just wants to be a successful new energy vehicle company, but this is obviously not. He said it was satisfying.

Luo Sheng's ambition is more than ten times and a hundred times bigger than this.

After arriving in the capital, Luo Sheng was not in a hurry to meet people, because all the people he wanted to see had not yet arrived. Luo Sheng did not leave until the morning of the third day in the capital.

The meeting place was a closed-door meeting at the State Grid headquarters.

...

In the conference room, more than a dozen participants were all big-time figures, including big leaders, senior researchers from the Strategic Research Institute, National Think Tanks, and of course the general manager of State Grid.

Luo Sheng was present, and this closed-door meeting was actually held for him. Looking at the national enterprise level, I am afraid that only he can do this.

As Luo Sheng explained for half an hour, the leaders at the meeting looked around with a smile and said: "New energy vehicles, driverless, Comrade Luo Sheng really is playing high-tech, and his ideas are very bold, but the concept of driverless. Reliable or not?"

Drive the car by yourself?Without driving?The leaders at the meeting still felt unreliable.

"It's just building a car. No matter whether it is driven by humans or unmanned, Comrade Luo Sheng, is it a little fuss?" Another leader said calmly. If Luo Sheng made such a big move to bring the big guys together, it was just for To set up a car company, to be honest, the leader will definitely be dissatisfied after returning.

How big is it?

At this moment, Luo Sheng's next words made the audience unable to sit still.

"Leaders, what if I say that this is an opportunity to break the monopoly of petrodollars?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned. Everyone looked at each other. After a while, a senior researcher from the Institute of Strategic Studies couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Luo, what do you say?"

The petro-dollar hegemony system allows the United States to collect "seigniorage" globally. On the one hand, it denounces and hates it, and on the other hand, it wants to become what it hates most.

In the opinion of several national think tanks participating in the meeting, Luo Sheng’s remarks are too unrealistic. The American petrodollar hegemony is supported by its unique global military hegemony and further possesses global financial hegemony, so the U.S. emperor is the world hegemon. .

Luo Sheng immediately took out the PPT presentation he prepared specially for the leaders, and operated the remote control in his hand to explain to the leaders in simple and simple terms: "Leaders, I want to build an electric car. I want to sell an electric car. It's not fake, but it's all secondary, even trivial to the country."

Everyone heard this, but they were very patient. Luo Sheng glanced at Mr. Liu from State Grid, smiled and continued:

"Selling cars is just to earn pocket money for the state's finances. We sell electricity is the root. This is also the biggest purpose of my proposal to hold this seminar at the State Grid headquarters."

The leader said: "What does this have to do with breaking the monopoly of petrodollar hegemony?"

Luo Sheng methodically explained with a smile:

"Humanity cannot do without petroleum resources. Similarly, mankind in modern society cannot do without power resources. When the national grid strategy realizes the national network, the Eurasian continent, and even the global network in turn, it will assume the global three We monopolize power resources for more than two-thirds of the power generation."

"Where the border of the State Grid is expanded, I will build tens of thousands of charging stations for electric vehicles. This is a vast infrastructure project. It is necessary to ensure that electric vehicles can quickly reach nearby places where there are roads. A charging station supplements electric energy, and the Blue Coast Laboratory has been secretly developing new fast charging battery technology."

"Graphene batteries are one of our main areas of expertise. Once this technology is implemented, an electric car can run 500 kilometers in ten minutes. What does this mean? It means that the car can run across the national grid radiation area. After completing a nationwide network, this electric car can travel all over the country. If it is in Eurasia, it can drive from Shanghai to Moscow and Paris all the way, as long as we have charging stations along the roads to replenish it."

"When the day comes when electric vehicles replace traditional fuel vehicles, when thousands of power supply stations are spread all over the country, when electric resources replace fuel resources, electric vehicle brands, whether domestic brands, German brands, American brands, and South Korea The brand is not important anymore, because their cars need electricity to move, and the electricity is ours, and the power supply station is ours. These two cards are double kings."

"At that time, we will only wait until the time is right. The so-called mature time is the day when our national power rises. We announced that we only recognize RMB to settle electricity consumption and not other currencies. If you feel a bit more radical, it can be like Take it easy. Settlement in RMB is about 30% cheaper than settlement in U.S. Dollars. Once this situation is achieved, what kind of landscape will it look like?"

"We do not expect to rely on electricity resources to replace the petro-dollar hegemony, but once this strategy is realized, the foundation of petro-dollar hegemony will be shaken. Now that our national strength is not enough, we will talk about it first."

"As long as we wait for the day when our comprehensive national strength, especially military strength, can be compared with the old Americans, the renminbi linked to electricity will replace the U.S. dollar linked to oil worldwide... it is an inevitable result."

As Luo Sheng's speech ended, the conference room fell into a silent state. President Liu, who was in charge of the State Grid, couldn't help holding his breath at this moment.
