Chapter 58: I Want a Ferrari
In just a few days, more than a dozen lithium battery companies went to Shensi Energy to talk about production authorization, but Li Qingyu refused one by one according to Jiang Yuan's instructions.
At the same time, Li Qingyu also unilaterally tore up the contract with Samsung for the share of new lithium batteries on the grounds that Samsung was preparing to resell lithium batteries to Apple in violation of the contract, and demanded that Samsung compensate up to $500 million in liquidated damages.
Samsung naturally can't accept this result, we paid the money, and the lithium battery didn't get it, not to mention, but also to compensate you for the money?
Samsung immediately denied it: We haven't even gotten the battery yet, how can we sell it to Apple Smecta!
This is a trumped-up charge!
Then put pressure on the Chinese government through the South Korean government.
The spokesman of the Chinese Government delivered a speech that lasted for more than 30 minutes.
To sum it up, your business cooperation problem is my business!
Samsung had no choice but to file a lawsuit with the Qianwan Municipal People's Court according to the provisions of the new lithium battery purchase contract.
Of course, Li Qingyu knows that the lawsuit loses more and wins less, after all, Samsung didn't really change hands to Apple, but it doesn't matter, let's delay it for a few years.
In fact, this is also a statement, in the current environment surrounded by wolves, the Shensi Group must show a strong desire for revenge in order to suppress most of the potential enemies.
If you offend me, even if I lose the lawsuit, I won't make you feel good!
This is the attitude of deep thought expression.
The legal department of Shensi Group finally became excited, the group has raised the old men for so long and has no record at all, how can they go out and mix!
This time, the Smecta actually ran to our home stadium, and they simply didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
Considering the friendly relationship between the Qianwan City Government and the Shensi Group almost wearing a pair of pants, they have said that they don't talk about winning or losing, but the group will definitely be able to delay it for at least 3 years!
Chinese netizens unanimously looked at the hooligan behavior of Shensi Group with gratification, except for a very small number of fans who did not know the so-called sticks.
A few days later, Dibia announced that the pure electric version of Dibia-Tang, equipped with a new lithium battery, will be available in 6 months.
Affected by this news, after confirming that Elon did not get any share of the new lithium battery, Tesla's stock plummeted by 18% in an instant.
In the tragic situation, Samsung, Apple, Tesla, LG Chem and a large number of lithium-ion battery-related companies quickly joined forces and began to concentrate on the research and development of their new lithium batteries.
The League of Losers has finally been formed!
In the midst of all the disturbances, 2 weeks passed.
The Rafa modification also came to an end, and the engineers of Dibiya completed all the changes according to Jiang Yuan's requirements, for which Jiang Yuan burned 50 million, which is more expensive than buying another Rafa.
The red Rafa has returned to its original state, and it looks like it has not changed from the outside, but the interior is completely different.
Now it's just four new electric motors.
What Jiang Yuan didn't expect was that Qian Ouhuang encountered a great obstacle this time.
In the past ten days, he has only completed four of the six new materials, and the other two are too advanced because the T9 technology in 2055 is too advanced, and Qian Ouhuang seriously lacks supporting experimental equipment, so he really can't make them.
Only then did Jiang Yuan know that 'directional evolution of science and technology' is not omnipotent, and due to the lack of peripheral equipment, too advanced technology may not be able to be replicated.
However, now the T9 motor can only do this.
Jiang Yuan could only choose two existing materials to replace the new materials, and the theoretical performance was reduced a lot, and it may only reach 80% of T9.
That's not bad, it's enough to kill all the motors on the market!
Since only four were produced for testing, the engineers opted to build the electric motor by hand.
While waiting, Marchionne, CEO of Fiat Group, visited Shensi Group.
......
"Hello, Mr. Marchionne!" Jiang Yuan warmly hugged the gray-haired CEO of Fiat:
"Welcome to Huaguo and hope you have a great time. ”
Li Qingyu looked at Jiang Yuan with strange eyes, he had never been so polite to other company leaders, it always made people feel that they were harboring evil intentions.
When Marchionne saw Jiang Yuan for the first time, he naturally didn't know Jiang Yuan's character, and politely complimented:
"Jiang! Your youth makes me envious! Your achievements shock me! The advent of the new lithium battery has made the whole world sing the praises of your name!"
Jiang Yuan laughed, and everyone sat down as the guest of honor.
Marchionne began to explain his purpose, which is nothing more than wanting a share of new lithium batteries, and Li Qingyu has seen too many such requirements recently, and has already had a sufficient plan.
Jiang Yuan stopped talking, and sat leisurely next to him to drink water, listening to the words of the two sides.
In the end, Marchionne had to accept Li's offer of $55,000 for an electric car's battery for 10,000 per quarter, and the earliest supply time would be six months later.
It is not impossible to get the goods early, and the price will be increased by 10% for each month in advance.
Marchionne almost wanted to vomit blood.
Compared with the $13,000 that Dibia Auto received, 50,000 yuan per quarter, and the internal contract that started supplying in 3 months, this offer is extremely dark.
There's no way, the technology monopoly is so black.
Although Marchionne is very unhappy, he can accept it, because the quotations received by other foreign car companies are basically in this range.
Therefore, various manufacturers have not ordered many goods, and they are currently waiting and seeing, looking forward to a breakthrough in Samsung's loser alliance.
Seeing that Marchionne was already dead, Jiang Yuan spoke:
"Personally, I love Ferrari so much that I now have a freshly modified Rafa in my garage!"
Fiat is Ferrari's largest shareholder, with more than 90% of Ferrari shares.
Marchionne had a bad start and was in a bad mood perfunctory:
"Thank you very much for the compliment, if you still want to buy a Ferrari, I can arrange for a Ferrari to be delivered in priority and guaranteed to arrive within 3 months. ”
After speaking, he made a joke with displeasure:
"Of course, if Mr. Jiang wants to get the car early, he can also increase the price by 10% every month earlier. ”
"Hahaha!" Jiang Yuan laughed disappreciatively, and then said with blazing eyes:
"Rather than waiting for Ferrari to supply me first, I want Ferrari to produce sports cars according to my requirements!"
Marchionne didn't pay much attention to Jiang Yuan's eyes, and said proudly:
"It's a pity that you were born 50 years late! Ferrari can only produce sports cars according to Fiat's requirements!"
Enzo Ferrari, the founder of Ferrari, sold 50% of his shares to Fiat in 1969 and since then the Fiat Group has increased its stake in Ferrari until 1988, when it increased to 90%.
So even if Ferrari claims to be independent, it is largely constrained by Fiat.
"No, you can come as I ask!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
Only then did Marchionne react and asked solemnly:
"What does Mr. Jiang mean? Do you want to launch a hostile takeover of Ferrari? With all due respect, this is a very ungentlemanly and stupid move!"
"Hostile takeover? Of course not! Fiat owns more than 90% of Ferrari's shares, if you don't give up, how can I succeed in the acquisition?" Jiang Yuan put down the water glass, stared straight at Marchionne, and said with a smile:
"So, let's make a deal!"
