Chapter 490: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
Hearing Anthony Latin open his mouth like this, the faces of the few people sitting suddenly became solemn. Dare to open his mouth like this now, it seems that this Anthony Latin does have a good idea.
Arnold smiled and said, "Let's talk about it first, let's talk about the conditions, how can we promise you if you don't say it?" What if it's a bad idea?"
Anthony Latin was not annoyed, his eyes looked at the sky indifferently and said: "I don't have much time, I don't have that time to spend with you, if it's a bad idea, you can naturally regret it." ”
Arnold said casually: "You and I are grasshoppers on a rope now, what good will it do you if this thing fails?" Arnold replied decisively: "No good! So, let's take a look at this idea together? If it is indeed a good idea, we will naturally not treat you badly." ”
Anthony Latin's expression remained unchanged, and he was silent for a while: "Now there is no gap between Kangbo and T Gudian in the competition of intellectual property rights. Although they have registered some patents in advance, we also have unique patents in our hands, so it seems that this lawsuit will inevitably become a mud, so why not seize the market immediately?"
"Seize the market? That Wei Xiu will be a fool for us to preempt? Not to mention the lawsuit, once we start production, do you think Wei Xiu's kid will let it go? Even if he can't restrain us, with his current productivity in this industry, I'm afraid there are few people who can compare, right?" The person who spoke was a lean man, about fifty years old, and his hawk nose looked unusually straight.
Arnold also looked at Anthony Latin with an interesting look when he heard this, he knew that this old man who had half his foot in the coffin would definitely not be confused to this point because of illness.
Sure enough, Anthony Latin was not stunned, and said without waves: "You only see his strength, but you don't see his Achilles' heel." ”
"What do you say?"
"Although Discovery Group has a near-monopoly on global solid-state battery manufacturing, its own productivity is not high. As far as I know, more than 70% of the company's production capacity is completed by foundries, while the remaining 30% of its own factories have chosen labor-intensive production, a large part of which is high-precision manual manufacturing. ”
Everyone naturally understands Wei Xiu's strategy very well.
Arnold mused: "The R&D capabilities of the Discovery Group are quite frightening, the first generation has not yet been popularized, the second generation has already appeared, and now the third generation is becoming more mature. In this way, it is reasonable to use foundries, after all, they are monopolies, monopolizing the global market, how much capacity does it need to meet the global needs? And with their R&D speed, every new generation of production line upgrade is a big expense, especially the production line dumped in the global market. I don't understand, what kind of Achilles' heel do you say?"
Anthony Latin said indifferently: "There are many advantages to using foundries, but there are also many disadvantages, since these foundries can serve the Discovery Group, why can't they be used by us?"
Speaking of this, Anthony Latin's expression became more and more calm: "Wei Xiu is a very suspicious person, so he firmly grasps the core manufacturing technology of solid-state batteries in his own hands, and all of them are produced by his own factory." Because it involves a lot of high-precision manufacturing, he raised a lot of workers, and even learned the spirit of Japanese craftsmen, so that he could cultivate the inheritance culture of craftsmen and the employment inheritance system. What does this mean? It means that Wei Xiu has a large number of senior workers who are loyal to the company, but these workers will also become a burden to him!"
The CEO of Discovery Group Asia, Guo Zhong Gangtian, once suggested that the maintenance gradually reduce the number of workers and adopt fully automated machinery production. In the end, this suggestion was rejected by Weixiu on the grounds that the procurement cost of a fully automated production line was too high. As far as I know, the deeper reason is that the health and maintenance plan to rely on the storage of these workers, increase the local employment rate, and befriend or clamp down on the local government, so as to obtain policy support. ”
When Anthony Latin said this, an inexplicable color flashed in his eyes, and these words were naturally not broken by him, but told by Wei Xiu. When he heard this, his heart was also quite throbbing, he didn't know why, he felt that these were definitely not the reasons why Wei Xiu kept a large number of high-precision workers to manufacture, there should be deeper reasons, but what was the reason, he couldn't figure it out...... Could it be for now?
At this time, everyone's eyes were already flashing, everyone was not stupid, Anthony Latin said so much, they naturally thought of something.
"So......" Arnold asked tentatively.
"So we should join hands to establish large-scale fully automated machinery production, although the cost of establishing fully automated machinery production in the short term is quite high, but once this production line is completed, what is there to fear? Fully automated mass production, lower than manual production costs, enough to quickly swallow the global solid-state battery market!"
"No matter how strong the R&D capability of the exploration group is, is it possible to develop the fourth-generation solid-state battery in an instant? As long as it monopolizes the global market, it is easy to say anything below. "Needless to say, Anthony Latin's following words are understood.
Monopolizing the global battery market, the exploration group has been hit hard, and it will decline because of this, where will there be money to engage in scientific research at that time? Not to mention this normal competition, there are few people who send charcoal in the snow, and there are many people who fall into the well, and if the exploration group declines, I am afraid that there will be countless crocodiles swarming without Arnold's hands.
There was silence at the scene, and everyone was thinking about the feasibility of this plan.
"What do you think?" Arnold asked, after a long time.
"I think so. The lean man replied.
As soon as this head opened, it seemed to become the leader of the herd effect, and everyone nodded and praised.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of Anthony Latin's mouth, but he didn't know what he meant by this smile was that he was proud to convince his allies, or ......
……
It is not so much that the Discovery Group has attracted global attention, but that Wei Xiu, the actual ruler of the Discovery Group, has attracted global attention. This young billionaire, who only made a splash in the global news last year, has once again made headlines in major media outlets around the world.
Everyone knows that the biggest bump in Wei Xiu's life is coming, after all, he is too young, and finally someone can't help but go under the knife.
Although the lawsuit between Exploration Group and Kangbo Company is now vigorous, it is precisely because of this vigor that Wei Xiu is generally not favored!
Even a small company lawsuit is like this, it is clear that Discovery Group has been challenged like never before, and the result of the lawsuit does not even need to be analyzed, many people can guess it, I am afraid that it is another mess with mud.
In this regard, many people have sympathy for Wei Xiu, but also gloat.
Aren't you quite awesome? Dare to fight with the United Nations organization; light the sky lantern on whoever you want; the world's youngest super-rich man; the world's financial oligarch...... But so what? Losing the most profitable monopoly market, how much ability does the Exploration Group still have? Whether it can survive the competition behind it has made many people doubt.
For a while, Wei Xiu was under tremendous pressure, and the interest groups centered on him became nervous. It is said that some people have begun to secretly sell off the shares of the major subsidiaries of the Discovery Group.
