Chapter 642: The Intersection of Fate
Looking at the rows of expectant eyes below, Ye Qing took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After brewing for a long time, today I finally want to announce the second major event to the world through the product launch conference of Thunder Automobile.
This plan, since the monster factory was promoted to the sixth stage, Ye Qing had a preliminary idea when he obtained the energy tower and plasma battery.
Ye Qing has thought about it many times, and he has also convened the company's personnel to discuss it many times to evaluate and improve this plan.
Right now......
"Before I make this big announcement, I would like to ask you two questions. Ye Qing stood still for a few seconds and said with a smile: "Thunder Automobile, in fact, is the first core product in the true sense launched by our giant beast industry. ”
"The automobile is also known as the crown of industry, and people may think that the automobile is very ordinary, even in the countryside. But if we look closely, we will find that the cars on the street, in fact, are concentrated in the brand of those countries. ”
"Automobiles are the highest industrial standards that we can access in our lives, and they are also the most complete industrial products. It encompasses the entire industrial spectrum of a country, involving about 30,000 different industrial parts. ”
"We at Behemoth Industries have developed to this day before we dare to launch our first car product. This also marks that our giant beast industry has entered a new chapter of development. ”
"So, I want you to predict how many units of our thunder car will be sold in the next month?"
As soon as the question came out, the guests and the media were stumped.
Although they didn't know what Ye Qing's question was related to the major events that would be announced later. But this does not prevent them from imagining that if the technology of the thunder car is really as good as that introduced at the press conference......
No, even if it is only one-half, Thunder Automobile will become a small dark horse in the Huaxia automobile market.
I'm afraid that the only thing that restricts the sales of thunder cars is the disadvantages of pure electric energy.
There is no need to describe the defects of electric vehicles, and if the plasma battery of the thunder car really has three times the energy density, then this defect will also be greatly reduced. But these assumptions are based on the fact that Thunder Motors really has this kind of technology.
The reporter of Sohu Entertainment was the first to raise his hand to answer, and the reporter with glasses thought about it seriously: "Tesla is the star of the electric vehicle industry, and it is highly praised in European and American countries. However, in Huaxia, even Tesla, its market sales are not too high. ”
"I think the sales volume of the car can reach 5,000 units in the next month. After the reputation of the thunder car gradually spreads, the sales volume will gradually exceed the number of tens of thousands of units. ”
Another car dealer answered a more professionally, saying: "In Huaxia, the best-selling cars are the Wuling Light, and the Haval H6. The combined sales of pure electric cars that can be licensed are less than one percent of Wuling Light. So I estimate that the best sales of thunder cars should reach the sum of all pure electric cars in the country. But if you want to change people's car buying habits and change from fuel vehicles to pure electric vehicles, I think there is still a long way to go. ”
This answer made Ye Qing nod in agreement.
In terms of fame, there is now a difference of 108,000 miles between Thunder Auto and Tesla. However, Tesla's sales in China have a share of less than 5,000 units a year. In Europe and the United States, Tesla's sales are not bad, but combined, it is still not one percent of Wuling Light.
Although Tesla is very profitable, it can't enter ordinary people's homes, and it can only be a toy for the rich at present.
The standard version pricing of Thunder Automobile seems to be aimed at the largest and largest mid-range car cake in the Huaxia automobile market. That's the private land of foreign joint venture cars, with an electric car, is it possible?
"The second question, why are the sales of electric vehicles sluggish?" Ye Qing continued.
"On the one hand, the actual mileage of pure electric vehicles can only run half of the standard range. On the other hand, the charging of pure electric vehicles is too cumbersome, and special charging piles must be built in the community. This greatly limits the freedom of pure electric vehicles, and each parking can only be parked in a fixed parking space. In most communities across the country, parking spaces are free of money and can be parked casually. ”
"There are also electric cars that run for two or three years, and they have to replace the battery once. In the end, it is not more expensive than a fuel car. ”
This answer hit the nail on the head, pure electric cars seem to be energy-saving, as long as they are charged, they can run.
But everyone knows that the battery runs the lower the endurance, and after two years, the mileage is only half of the beginning, and after three years, it drops to one-third. gritted his teeth to change the battery, and found that the money for replacing the battery was enough to buy a domestic car, isn't this a cheat?
"You all understand the shortcomings of electric vehicles, and these shortcomings are also the obstacles that limit the development of pure electric vehicles. ”
Ye Qing waited for dozens of seconds, and after the scene was completely quiet, he said calmly: "So, we, the giant beast industry, have decided to solve the roadblock in front of the electric car. ”
"How to solve it?" someone couldn't help but ask loudly.
"We at Behemoth Industries have decided to build more than 5,000 [Energy Service Zones] across the country in the next two years. We want to build a set of super charging network covering the whole country, so that every user of Thunder Automobile can enjoy the same treatment as fuel vehicles. ”
"In the energy service area, a thunder truck can be fully charged in half an hour. If you're traveling long distances, it's just enough time to take a full charge at a Supercharger to take a break. In the city, it only takes tens of minutes to get a range of more than 300 kilometers. ”
Looking at the pair of ghostly eyes below, Ye Qing continued to smile: "Maybe everyone thinks that this is a fantasy, and the construction cost of a gas station in a fifth-tier city is tens of millions. The cost of a service area of the expressway is more than 100 million. Can we afford to invest in the construction of 5,000 energy service areas?"
Who would dare to answer this question?
Tesla originally threatened to build super charging stations in China, but it took five or six years to build less than 50 charging stations, which are still not much bigger than bus stations. All of them are concentrated in first-tier cities, where Tesla car sales are good.
The sum of those charging stations is estimated not necessarily to the cost of a gas station service area.
How much does an energy service area cost?
If you are on the highway, even if you build a thatched house, but build two entrances and exits connecting the expressway, it will be more than 100 million.
Listening to the meaning of the Behemoth Industries, it seems that they are not only going to build energy service areas on the highway, but also to build several?
"We have the strength to build. Ye Qing clenched his fists and answered everyone in an unquestionable tone.
"The energy service area we want to build not only includes ultra-fast charging piles, but also provides a leisure place for every thunder car owner to communicate and relax, and any imaginable car service. ”
"The energy service area will also become a business card of our Behemoth Industry. A contribution to our giant beast industry, for the entire Chinese nation, for the belief that science and technology change life, to pay.
“……”
Onslaught!
Any technology, any product, has turned into a pale performance in front of the declaration of the young president of Behemoth Industries.
What kind of spirit is this?
5,000 energy service stations, even the most conservative estimates, require an investment of 300 billion.
300 billion, which may be the sum of the fixed assets and cash assets of the giant beast industry, or even more.
This investment may even be accompanied by the cold reception of Thunder Automobile in the market, and the loss of all the money.
But the young president, in a non-impassioned tone, announced this event, which decided the fate of the entire company.
