Chapter 322 Uniform Standards
The core personnel who have attracted the most attention from the outside world have actually had a lot of meetings and consultations before the official announcement, and together with government personnel, they have exchanged many opinions.
After half a year of deliberation around the content, this alliance was finally printed on paper with everyone's consent, and a thick copy was written in black and white, and finally established.
The night before this, someone came again, so Yang Ming had to put everything down and go to see him in person. Because it's the thighs that come, he's going to be the one who makes this alliance happen.
Yang Ming needs to explain the results of the talks in advance, so that the secretaries can formulate the content and manuscript in advance, and ensure that every word and deed on the formal occasion is enough to reflect the position and attitude of the Chinese side.
Anyway, there's a lot going on in this series.
After everything is negotiated, these documents are ready to be officially signed by the heads of all parties in the presence of the media, so that the media around the world can witness the birth of this scene.
The signing of the cooperation took place at 10 o'clock in the morning.
The venue has been crowded with media reporters from all over the world, reporting the grand occasion in different languages, countless camera lenses are pointed at the stage, and a large long table has been set up, representing all enterprises.
Yang Ming and Li Wei had already gone out at half past eight, and at nine o'clock, Li Wei was surrounded by capable people, stylists, manuscript assistants, copywriting secretaries, and on-site assistants, all reporting to her.
Because Yang Ming gave her the opportunity to sign, it was a matter of time before the Eastern Group would be directly managed, and although he was Maxwell's boss, the focus was still on building cars.
These bring political business cooperation, and whoever appears is the same. And Yang Ming feels that the temperament of a strong woman is also worth taking out to suppress the situation of the prosperity and decline of the whole audience.
"He's just lazy. Li Wei also put it bluntly.
"But you have a lot of aura!" Zhang Haiyan, as her best friend, is also a rare moment to come in a formal dress to support Li Wei.
Li Wei is now in a formal dress and skirt style, because she is not in the role of a female companion, so she puts aside her gentleness and intellectuality, her hair is coiled up, and she is full of aggression to be the judge.
"This kind of temperament is very suitable for appearing on stage. "Yang Ming is a little lazy, but she is the highest decision-maker, who will not come forward?
The signing ceremony arrived as scheduled.
CEOs from all walks of life took the stage, and the audience applauded continuously, and when Li Wei, who appeared as the only female figure, appeared, the word thunderous applause was interpreted!
The female president is very good-looking, the tailor-made suit is also very decent and generous, and the heel is slightly higher, which shows her high pride in this detail, that is, I trampled you men under my feet!
All the gentlemen kept smiling and gentlemanly after seeing her, and Kang Linsong, CEO of Daimler next to her, also pulled out a chair for the lady, and demeanor is a must.
Especially with more than 3,000 media outlets and countless magnesium lights, this scene will inevitably become a witness to an important moment in the future!
The leaders of all walks of life have taken their seats, and in the middle is the host, flanked by the female president, Daimler, Volkswagen, BMW, Ford, General Motors and SAIC.
On the table, it is mainly to invest in founding enterprises, and the seat of Chinese capital is more arranged from above, because Chinese brands really do not have much bright spots, and it is not yet hot to share the stage with these large groups.
But without Chinese representatives, it will be ugly on the face. As an enterprise with an annual revenue of more than 850 billion, it is currently the first in China.
Naturally, in the laying of new energy, the financial strength can better drive and help domestic brands. Generally speaking, Chinese investors receive more preferential treatment, after all, battery companies are domestic enterprises.
Eyes returned to the stage, after a brief speech and introduction, the hostesses brought a heavy agreement, focusing on the agreement on the establishment of a "United Battery Company" by all walks of life.
One of the main contents of the agreement is shares: the participating brands each hold 5% of the shares, each has a board seat, accounting for 30% of the total, 13% of the capital introduced, and the Oriental Group holds 57%, with a total investment of 10 billion US dollars.
The Eastern Group will inevitably control this battery company, and at the same time, the giant companies of various countries must also have board seats and shareholder decision-making power, and the capital introduced will come from various countries, and some of them will be attracted by Yang Ming.
When the interests reach a certain height and money is just a number, what Yang Ming wants more is the convenience of being at the power level, so it is worth it in his opinion to give up some in exchange for a smoother future.
The second content of the agreement is the standard.
The battery specifications need to be unified by all parties, and the charging interface must be consistent! Car charging station, the alliance enterprise must implement a standard! This ensures that no matter which brand, as long as it is the alliance, it can be used!
This measure will solve the most critical problem of electric vehicle compatibility, and all standards will be unified, so that the cost and penetration rate can be unimpeded.
In order to create a unified standard, in addition to the $10 billion financed by individual enterprises, plus the funds of the Eastern Bloc itself, in the future they have $12 billion for construction.
After the complicated signing and exchange, the two sides got up and shook hands, and countless shots recorded a classic scene, and the pattern of the big alliance in the new energy era was set!
In the subsequent session of the media presentation, the changes in these important areas were confirmed.
Investing heavily and attracting more raw material suppliers to participate in battery cost reduction activities has achieved good results last year, and the original battery cost has been reduced by 50% in one year compared with now!
"We are committed to controlling the current battery cost to 30% and increasing the capacity to 100% within three years of the alliance!"
"We will introduce more high-precision technologies, common battery management platforms, common charging stations and charging facilities, and will continue to improve fast charging technology, so that the waiting time for charging can be reduced to 15 minutes!"
Behind the scenes of these lofty ambitions, the core technology is supporting!
The media has spread these voices to the rest of the world! There is a general expectation that if the cost can be reduced to the point that most people can accept, the battery life will be stronger, and the benefit will be consumers.
But the Japanese may not be so happy, and the pattern of the alliance of auto giants is still formed! What is really frightening is not technology. The technology is not officially unveiled, and they don't feel scared!
What I'm afraid of is this "unified standard"! Uniformity is the most feared place! This represents user habits! Once users get used to this model, is it possible for you to force them to change if you are backward?
There are too many companies that have tried this, but most of them are abandoned by users! Users have accepted the standard, and if you go against the standard, who would want to?
The Japanese are worried about this result, although the fire of new energy has not yet burned, it may not burn for many years, but now, they have missed the opportunity to get on the bus!
Although the government shouts that hydrogen fuel is feasible, it will develop and grow in Japan and eventually export overseas. Just like in the past, the Japanese system also went its own way and conquered consumers all over the world.
Confidence is a good thing, but this slogan has been united by Europe, America and Asia, and in the face of this behemoth, covering more than ten trillion economic chains, they can't help but be afraid!
