Scholar’s Advanced Technological System
Chapter 981 Exclusive Agreement (4/4)
Although the Ark did not feel that the name "Thunder Gung” system was much better than it thought it would be, the matter was settled for the sake of the fact that the entire lab of scientific dogs nodded in favour.
Anyway, even if it was developed, it would not be immediately operational, and there was still enough time to think about the name or something.
As for when to play this card...
At least we'll have to wait till the Longteng chip comes out, right?
At the same time, while the beep charge's heat continued to rise and the number of downloads continued to grow, this ex-military charging pile company finally attracted the attention of EVGO, a friend who also opened up the market in Shanghai.
Because it was a high-end, high-end, high-end "push strategy," Tesla Warsaw did not launch a top-down marketing campaign on the Internet, but took Tesla's brand directly to the shopping malls to negotiate, and then reached an agreement on brand advantages to put their charging piles in at a very low price.
As Bevis expected, almost no mall would reject a charging pile bearing the Tesla logo, just as no mall would reject Chanel's counter.
There is absolutely no loss for such a large brand that can boost the compelling and human flow of the business community, even if it is introduced with money.
It's just that Bevis didn't think that in the parking lot of Yida Square, just a short distance from Tesla's EVGO charging pile, yet not only did no one go around to take pictures, but even the wind was completely recharged by the beep held by Startech...
This did not frustrate him, but gave him a great deal of vigilance and immediately reported the matter to the CEO of the head office, Mr. Musk.
“… at present, our major business circles in Shanghai still maintain absolute advantage coverage, but are expanding beep charging…” The name is a bit odd, even stubborn, so that Bevis paused to continue, "this charging pile company of Startech Holdings is closely following our footsteps. If they keep up the current trend, it will only take six months for them to keep up with us in terms of coverage. ”
“My suggestion is to sign an exclusive agreement with all large and medium-sized shopping malls that work with us to introduce our charging piles and other charging pile companies must be denied exclusive parking space in the parking lot or at least increase the threshold and cost of their access! ”
After listening carefully to Beavis' report, Musk on the other side of the phone sank for a while and laughed and said.
“We can't do that. ”
Beavis holding the phone stunned slightly.
“Why?”
Musk laughed and said easily.
“I'm sure you've been taught that the person in charge of Beep Charging is an expert in marketing using Internet tools. If you sign an exclusive agreement with a Chinese shopping mall that denies access to other Chinese charging pile companies, whether you are using technical secrecy or for any other reason, you will be labeled with a special label, and under pressure from public opinion, the shopping mall will definitely cancel the contract. ”
“Because if they don't, even if the Chinese authorities don't invite them to talk, the Chinese consumers whose nationalist sentiments have been mobilized will cause us and our partners a lot of trouble. ”
Bevis frowned: “Is that how we watch them grow? Although I don't like their business model, if this mixer continues to disrupt, it will have an impact on our business-"
“I know, dear Mr. Byvis,” interrupted him, Musk continued, "I never said anything that allowed them to continue, just that strategies that restricted their development should be adjusted. ”
After hearing this from BOSS, Byvis calmed down and waited quietly for him to continue.
“We now have more than 85% EVGO coverage in Shanghai. Besides, we have a cooperation agreement with five companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and others that are temporarily not planning to develop their own charging pile business, but have new energy plans. We will equip each EVGO charging pile with a charging line that perfectly matches our partner's interface in exchange...“
“… our EVGO will be their only officially recognized charging pile company in China! ”
Bevis' eyes grew brighter when he heard that.
It's the boss!
It's really high...
If this is added later, if charging on other charging piles causes the battery to malfunction, the company will not be responsible for the accident cloud...
And regardless of whether or not the 4S store has anything to do with the car business after that, and whether or not Evgo's charging piles are smarter than other companies' charging piles, even if this phrase is just added up to capture the wind, it is enough to create psychological hints for consumers, prompting them to go all over the street to find Evgo's charging piles.
In contrast, what kind of Internet marketing, what kind of wireless charging tricks are like children's tricks.
People choose wireless charging for convenience, they run to registered members because of stunts, but you expect the owners to joke about life safety issues and beat so-so eyes with battery life?
It's naive!
It's a pattern!
Bevis took a deep breath and said, "I know what to do. ”
“Just so you know,” Musk nodded with a smile and went on to say, "We have absolutely no need to sign exclusive agreements with Chinese companies, we can do what you call ‘exclusive' outside of irrelevant settings… Of course, I won't admit it, it's not exclusive, it's just a strategy based on security considerations. ”
Although this apparently exclusive nature of the agreement, as well as the repression of downstream services industries by joint upstream industries, is suspected of being contrary to antitrust regulations and the spirit of free trade.
But how can there be so much fairness in business matters?
Musk is not going to let them go because beep charging is just a small company that finances 10 million dollars, and he will use 120 cents to compete with them until they announce bankruptcy protection...
The reason is simple.
He can see the shadow of the man behind the company.
He will never forget the Waterloo he encountered in space…
Nor will you allow yourself to lose this war because of being careless!
“By the way, our goal is the entire Long Triangle city group, not just this acre of land in Shanghai. Remember what I told you last time I came to China? In the future, the Long Triangle Cities will be the pearl of the entire Western Pacific, and we can't stop them, but we can share what we've done to them. ”
“Three days from now, a guest of honor will visit you, and if we are optimistic, we can get at least a billion dollars in financing to help us complete this ambitious plan. ”
“Come on, let's do this! ”
At the boss's behest, Beavis grabbed the phone, and Zheng nodded.
“I get it! ”
……
Golden Ring.
Office of the Dean of the Institute of Advanced Studies.
Ark boats always pick places here when talking about important things.
First, it's clean, and secondly, there's no concern of leakage.
If it was the office on the other side of Kim Dae County Yard, he wouldn't dare put anything on the table.
At this moment, Chen Yushan, sitting on the only sofa in the office, gently sipped the tea in the cup and, after putting the cup down, looked at the ark sitting behind the desk and laughed.
“Tesla has already made a move, and reliable sources say their people are in contact with a mass group, and if they succeed, they will probably issue a statement similar to the official certification designating EVGO as the officially recommended brand of charging piles. ”
He stopped the pen in his hand, and the ark took a thought.
“You guessed it again. ”
Chen Yushan: “There is no guessing, it is inevitable. Looking for help off-site is the most efficient approach, and compared to antitrust investigations, there is a slight risk that the deal will not be lost as long as they are in control of the power output ports throughout the long triangle urban agglomeration. ”
The cost of antitrust investigations cannot be said to be insignificant.
But if you can stand in a monopoly position, higher tickets can also be earned from Chinese consumers.
Besides, it is just a statement of an officially designated charging pile, the likelihood of being characterized as monopoly is low and low...
Though not particularly knowledgeable about business matters, the Ark was curious how she would break in the face of a dilemma that had transcended technical issues and even the market itself.
“What are you going to do? ”
Chen Yushan slightly lifted his lip when he heard the question with some curiosity.
“Didn't I tell you two months ago? I'm ready for the next game of chess. ”
The ark had no words: "… is this chess still playing? ”
If she doesn't mention it, she'll forget about it.
Speaking of which, it's been two months, what's taking so long to play...
“It's over. ”
Gently fluttered his hair in his lower ear. Chen Yushan's smile on his face remained unchanged and continued.
“Now, I'm going to show you a good show. ”
