Global monopoly of technology

Luo Sheng's private office.

"Master, the video conference is ready, start the connection in 7 minutes."

Xiaona's voice responded. At this moment, Qing Xuemei, who was still red on her face, had already arranged herself, and then packed up some things and took them out of the office.

A few minutes later, Luo Sheng looked at the 4K high-definition giant curtain wall opposite the wall, Xiaona immediately opened the video, and the core executives such as Yao Jianhong from the Blue Coast appeared on the screen.

The video conference started.

"Now the entire automotive industry is surging, and friends and businessmen have come to seek cooperation."

Yao Jianhong in one of the video clips said with a smile, and the whole meeting seemed quite relaxed.

Another executive laughed and said: "Our survey found that more and more brand-new new energy automobile brands have been established recently, which has also brought hot capital into the market. Many new car manufacturers have already received Series A financing. "

The entire industry is heated up. The Côte d’Azur develops technology patents and gives them back for nothing. This gives many entrepreneurs the opportunity to tell stories to VCs, and they can quickly get up on the Côte d’Azur using the Côte d’Azur’s open technology, only the capital injection Can sing a good show.

Financing has become exceptionally smooth. Everyone knows that the entire automobile industry is about to usher in a major reshuffle. This is a general trend. Whether it is deliberate development or fishing in troubled waters, more and more capitalists want to get a share of it.

"We have to increase our efforts and increase the speed to throw blockbuster bombs. The short-term industry panic and turmoil will help us quickly establish the overall situation." Luo Sheng looked at the core executives on the video screen: "The technical standards for super charging stations are independent of other standards, that is, all super charging stations built by us are free for use for 20 years."

This trick is the most ruthless method.

It is to use the thinking of being an Internet ecology in the field of pure electric automobile industry. Every pure electric car is equivalent to an Internet user. As long as you catch the user, you are not afraid of no profit.

For fuel vehicles, fuel is a necessity for vehicles, so fuel sales are more profitable than car sales.

The same is true for pure electric vehicles. Electricity is a necessity for their normal use. It is foreseeable that with the continuous increase in the number of possessions, charging services will inevitably become a richer and more lasting source of income. "Machine" to describe the speed at which this business creates profits.

Facing this lucrative business, Côte d’Azur has made such an amazing decision that all its super charging piles are provided for free use by car owners. This will surely become a huge attraction for consumers to choose blue pure electric vehicles or models in this ecosystem. "magnet".

Not only pure electric vehicles under the Côte d’Azur, but other electric vehicles that can meet its charging technical standards can also enjoy this service for free.

However, it is not unconditional that other brands can enjoy it. If other brand manufacturers want to use or build the same super charging pile, they must fully adopt the technical standards of the Côte d'Azur without paying or charging.

This seemingly attractive “Overlord Clause” is actually very reasonable. Although other brand manufacturers have to build charging stations even before the Côte d’Azur, the technical system, technical content and scale are not comparable to those of the Côte d’Azur. Contend against, especially the scale. Simply put, the money investment is not enough, but Luo Sheng has money to die. This is an unparalleled late-mover advantage.

For other manufacturers, it is necessary to take into account the super killer trick of free charging on the Côte d’Azur charging pile. This is an irresistible temptation for consumers. Twenty years of free charging can almost drive the car to life. It's over.

Other brands also have to pay for charging, which is enough for consumers to vote with their feet.

In addition, the cost of building charging stations is high. For other manufacturers’ brands, compared to spending years and a lot of money to build their own platforms, they have to bear huge risks and compete head-on with powerful rivals like the Côte d’Azur. Maybe ten dead and no life.

It is obviously more cost-effective to directly join the other party's system and use the charging platform of the Azure Coast, and you don't have to take risks.

Many newly established brands do not need to spend a lot of energy and money to build infrastructure, as long as the cars are built, they can be sold, and the Côte d’Azur has opened up technology patents for free, all of which greatly reduces the new power of car manufacturing. New brands will continue to spring up like mushrooms after the rain.

This is also the situation Luo Sheng wants to see.

Of course, in the short term, it will definitely be a chaotic dance situation. Any messy brands will emerge. This is an inevitable result, but it will not last long. The market will eventually eliminate a large number of brands, and the truly powerful brands will survive. Come down.

Secondly, the current strategy of laying super charging piles on the Côte d’Azur has obvious advantages in terms of quantity and distribution. What is more attractive is that it does not charge any fees, which will attract a large number of consumers. Purchasing blue pure electric vehicles, after the market has reached a certain level, will inevitably form a strong competitive advantage in the large-scale market.

The result is that the more widely used the technical standards of the Côte d'Azur, the more consumers there are, the sooner they will raise enough "bargaining chips" to negotiate the market and enter any regional market they want to enter.

That is globalization!

These are all tactics of arrogance, and you have never thought of hiding and tucking them, which is a strategy laid out in the open, but you have nothing to do.

...

One hour after the meeting, Yao Jianhong held another press conference to announce the latest news to the outside world.

Côte d'Azur announced its willingness to share its super charging network, but the condition is that other manufacturers' electric vehicles must meet the standards of super charging stations and accept the subversive business model of Côte d'Azur not charging car owners for charging.

A news that is no less than a "nuclear bomb" level for the entire industry blows up all the colleagues in the industry.

In the past half month, the Côte d'Azur has "selflessly" dedicated the achievements of the huge amount of research and development funds that have been smashed over the years, and it feels like a crazy "white gift" series to the outside world.

And this time to announce a new round of super free grand strategy, not only caused a new earthquake in the entire industry, but also a crazy fan of all consumers.

Consumers don't care about the game between these big groups. They only know that this wave of operations on the Cote d'Azur is beneficial to all pure electric car owners. They originally thought that abandoning traditional fuel vehicles and choosing pure electric vehicles would save two-thirds of their fuel costs.

Come on, Luo Sheng's operation directly waived the electricity bill. It is conceivable how violently this stimulated the consumer market.

The major car owners are discussing this matter online.

As a result, the pre-sale of the blue pure electric car suddenly went wild. On the second day of the announcement, the pre-sale of the first-generation blue pure electric car exceeded 30,000 on that day.

You know, Toyota, the world's No. 1 car in sales, has an average daily sales volume of less than 30,000, and the blue pure electric car is still pre-sale.

Interestingly, the scalpers and futures speculators are scared at this time and dare not play.

At this time, I still dare to play. It’s not stupid or really come to send money. Anyone who has a bit of a brain will think that the Côte d’Azur now throws a blockbuster news every three to five, and they are all bad news. The ghost knows what will happen next. .

...

"Mr. Luo, the waiver of charging fees for 20 years is really an unprecedented feat. There is no problem with the small number of vehicles now, but once the ecology gradually takes shape, it will inevitably bring a strong financial burden, thousands of dollars. The daily power consumption of a million cars is a terrifying scale, can we raise it?"

In Luo Sheng's office, Yao Jianhong now expressed his long-term worries that he will suffer serious losses for a long time to come.

"The data monopoly brought about by the'Internet of Everything' represents endless wealth. The data analysis and cloud computing services brought by the ecosystem are the basis for the endless banknotes." Luo Sheng said calmly: "Me and State Grid cooperates and it’s been negotiated to charge car owners free of charge. We only need to pay 20% of the electricity bills to State Grid. State Grid has the bottom line of the state. This is not a purely commercial project, this is the country’s new infrastructure. "Foresight of the project, leave it to me to be the terminal."

"This... so it is." Yao Jianhong was startled. It was the first time he heard of the term "new infrastructure" and suddenly realized that this game was bigger than he thought. All he knew was the tip of the iceberg.

Luo Sheng added: "What we have to do is to hedge the remaining 20% ​​of electricity bills. Once the number of pure electric vehicles rises, it will reach a scale of over 100 million in the future. This 20% is also a heavy financial expenditure burden. We don’t have national financial subsidies, so we have to start from the field of renewable energy. This is also the invisible hand of the country’s macro-control that is driving us to develop a positive cycle of renewable energy."

Yao Jianhong nodded and said: "So, why do I leave 20% of the burden to us? The country is a country, and the overall situation is invisible and powerful."

The reason why the state is vigorously letting go and supporting super-large private companies like the Cote d’Azur to show their talents in the terminal is not to blindly release everything. The most rooted "electricity" of all is always in the hands of the State Grid Corporation, and this is the "national team". "Keep in control.

Electricity is the source. This section did not allow the Côte d'Azur to get involved.

Of course, Luo Sheng also knows what it means to stop. Even if the business is really entrusted to him, he will say that he will not accept anything unless his brain is watts.

Too hot.

"However, Mr. Luo, in this way, the production capacity has become an unsolvable problem, and it is still an urgent matter that must be solved." Yao Jianhong changed the subject and said: "Now there is another gold swallowing monster like charging free. I really I'm worried about whether our funds can be sustained."

The current layout has been spread out on a large scale, and the real impact will move the whole body. If this point is placed on another point, it will shake, and you must solve it, otherwise it will bring other shocks.

Production capacity is always a headache now. It takes time for friends to join, but the daily consumption of funds will not stop. The operating costs caused by the delay are astronomical expenditures every day, so we can’t wait, we have to get more The pure electric car ran on the road.

"Don't worry about that. Ten brand-new super factories can be completed without any accident, and mass production can be realized in 2016." Luo Sheng smiled.

"Ten? Where does the money come from?" When Yao Jianhong heard this, he looked at the BOSS in shock. The ten super factories added 20 production lines. The investment cost of the ten super factories alone was 300 billion yuan. The accompanying packages add up to a trillion rhythm.

Selling the bottoms of the Côte d’Azur, and now I don’t spend so much money, and borrowing funds from Bluestar Technology Group is also not good. This kind of leverage risk is to burst the rhythm of the table, or it will be completely collapsed. It really depends on the state to save lives. The state will definitely not let these two companies go bankrupt or lose control of the companies.

Luo Sheng said calmly: "Remember Zhong Yuanhong from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office? We have communicated well. Ten super factories will be established in ten major coastal cities. The local State-owned Assets Management Office will buy shares and the local government will provide zero-interest loans and land transfers. Simply put We don’t have to spend a penny, and the annual production of pure electric vehicles on the Côte d’Azur will reach more than 3.4 million after 2016.”
