Chapter 456 is not a target

"Chairman Cai Che, I know what you think, because if we license it to other car companies, it will definitely affect the interests of Mercedes-Benz, but do you think that if we don't authorize, Mercedes-Benz may occupy the entire market?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile.

"No, you can't. Cai Che shook his head very simply, in the final analysis, even if Mercedes-Benz now has more than 200,000 cars in China, the lowest smart is even only a hundred thousand, but Mercedes-Benz is still a high-end brand, and after entering the new electric vehicle market, even Mercedes-Benz's car price will increase again, and although the profit may not be greater than before, but whether in China or in other markets, the market share will definitely rise on a large scale.

After all, the adoption of new technology, the cost will also rise, and Mercedes-Benz factories around the world have also begun to renovate, the current annual output of Mercedes-Benz car factory in China has expanded to about 2 million units, but the current output of 2 million cars except for a very small part of the orders from outside, the rest are produced by their own supporting factories.

But in the future, it is impossible for all the supporting equipment to be produced by themselves, if it is not for the latest technology that causes Mercedes-Benz to have no way to outsource other equipment to other factories, Mercedes-Benz has already outsourced, Mercedes-Benz is not stupid, and the whole new car can almost be said to be all new technology.

If the factory is willing to expand the production line of these new technologies, it must be authorized, and the annual profit of Mercedes-Benz is no less than the profit of Mercedes-Benz selling cars alone. Especially in terms of new batteries, this is the only battery technology in the world, and no other battery manufacturer in the world can achieve such fast charging and such a high-energy charging battery.

Traveling more than 1,500 kilometers each way, and charging at such a speed, this is not something anyone can produce, how long has Tesla been in the field of electric vehicles? But so far, Tesla's car mileage has only just exceeded 500 kilometers, but the cost is at least 700,000 to 1 million models.

And Zhao Chen's model here can already use this new battery on three or four hundred thousand cars.

Therefore, the main production line to be expanded by Mercedes-Benz is the first, the electric motor and high-performance motor production line, followed by the constant temperature system and battery management technology, and finally the battery production line.

It is mainly these kinds, and some other supporting facilities can be handed over to outside manufacturers to be responsible, but now these manufacturers have to join the Mercedes-Benz system.

"Therefore, the main goal of our Mercedes-Benz company in the future is in fact, not cars, although we will not give up the car business, but I tell you the truth, Mercedes-Benz will not only be limited to the production of cars, I can simply tell you that the name Mercedes-Benz will be resounding all over the world in the future. Zhao Chen said lightly.

Zhao Chen doesn't care about the reputation of directly using Mercedes-Benz, because now Mercedes-Benz is fully controlled by Zhao Chen, although these shares are in order to avoid the relevant regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, so the shares currently controlled by Zhao Chen are directly divided into two parts.

Although the whole world knows that the current shares of Mercedes-Benz are fully controlled by Zhao Chen, at least on the surface, it is not in the name of Zhao Chen alone, which is fine. So no one can say anything, so Zhao Chen doesn't care that Mercedes-Benz used to be a German brand, and now it's okay to be Chinese.

"Digital Storm Company can authorize other companies, but if the value of the authorization is about 40 billion RMB in the market value of the other party, we want 15% of the shares, and we will authorize them according to this ratio, if you don't agree, we won't authorize them, anyway, there are so many related electrical appliance manufacturers in the world, we don't care at all. Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhao, I said that it would be good for us to do it ourselves, Xiaomi is not without the ability to make electrical appliances, we can do it slowly, with the cash flow support of the digital storm, it is a big deal that I will give up Xiaomi's shares, we can accelerate the expansion. Lei Jun next to him said quickly.

Lei Jun's ambition is undoubtedly very big, he wants to make Xiaomi similar to Siemens, which almost involves most of the electrical enterprises, but Siemens is a brand for many years, and the reason why Siemens is so awesome is because Siemens applied for too many patents on electrical appliances at the beginning.

It can almost be said that as long as you are engaged in electrical appliances, there is no way to bypass Siemens, although many patents have expired, but again, these patents still exert a huge impact. Although Siemens' market capitalization is only about $74 billion.

"Mr. Lei, you know, I don't care about Xiaomi, or rather, I don't care about Xiaomi, nor Mercedes-Benz, although these two companies have to develop and are indispensable companies in our hardware production department, but what we care about is not this, what I care about is this. Zhao Chen waved his hand slightly, and several company logos appeared on the screen in the middle of the desk.

When they saw the logos of these companies, everyone was stunned for a moment, but soon everyone completely understood what Zhao Chen's ambition was, but after understanding, everyone gasped.

What's the name of these companies that appear? Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Google, Apple, if there's one thing these companies have in common, it's that they all involve operating systems.

And the operating systems they involve account for almost 99% of the world's major operating systems. From personal PCs to mobile phones, to small servers, large servers, enterprise servers, and even supercomputer systems, everything is involved.

And Zhao Chen's ambition is beyond doubt, he wants to rule the entire operating system, and how profitable the operating system is, look at Microsoft, just rely on the operating system of the current personal PC, to maintain a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, if these operating systems are dominated, it is no longer just a matter of market value.

That influence, it is no exaggeration to say that it is not difficult for a company to influence a country. Because almost every area of everyone's life will involve your company's products, and when the time comes, because your company's products are around the survival of the company, you don't know how many.

And the profits brought by it are undoubtedly undoubted, because it is now increasingly proving what a strong ecosystem means. If nothing else, it's enough to just sell some ancillary things.

What's more, baby software is now paid software, and the number of users per month is extremely terrifying, I'm afraid it's not as good as Microsoft, it's about the same, at least Microsoft's income is probably not high, Microsoft's net profit last year was only more than 18 billion US dollars, but now how much does the digital storm company earn every month?

"We understand, Mr. Zhao, do you mean to encircle and suppress the personal PC market through these third-party operating systems?" Lei Jun immediately understood Zhao Chen's thoughts, and they immediately imagined the future scene.

Microsoft is a behemoth, yes, but it's not impossible for Microsoft to beat, if nothing else, in the past, Microsoft may have had all kinds of things to restrict others from competing for operating systems, but now it's different.

If you think about it, if you use mobile phones, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, water heaters, even air humidifiers and other everyday household devices are all operating systems of one company, and these operating systems are very accustomed to using when only the operating system of your personal PC is from another company.

When you change your personal PC operating system, it will make it easier for you to control your computer directly from your mobile phone, etc., and even your personal PC can act as a server for your whole family, do you think it will be difficult for you to change a system?

Especially when you don't lack the relevant software to use, then it is not very difficult to replace all this.

Thinking of this scene, everyone immediately understood, Lei Jun understood more thoroughly, isn't this the strategy of the great man in the countryside to surround the city?

These systems may not seem very complicated and not very useful, but in fact if they are all ruled by one company, then this will be very scary, and it will leave a terrifying impression on the user's usage habits and so on.

And the usage habits of each user and so on will be retained in it, and even promote the sales of each other's things, simpler, when you can control most of the electrical appliances in your family through your mobile phone, when you have only one air conditioning appliance at home and you can't control it remotely, then when you are ready to change the air conditioner, you will definitely give priority, and you will be able to join the air conditioning brand of this home intelligent system, and will not consider others.

Absolutely.

Well, when all the software market is almost occupied by the digital storm, no, it should be said that most of it is occupied, it is conceivable how many users the Myth Group will have in the world by then.

"I understand, Mr. Zhao, you can authorize other car companies to use our intelligent system, but we must have our own technology for other systems, so I have a plan. Cai Che immediately spoke.

"Mr. Cai Che, please speak. Zhao Chen immediately spoke.

"We at Mercedes-Benz are going to buy Tesla. Cai Che didn't think about it, and said directly.

Zhao Chen was slightly stunned for a moment, and instantly understood Cai Che's thoughts, now the leader of electric vehicles in the circle is undoubtedly Tesla Motors, of course, in fact, because the motor is very simple, and the entry is very simple, almost all car manufacturers have developed their own electric vehicles.

But electric vehicles also have their own differences, for example, Tesla's unique power feedback system, that is, when braking, the electric motor driven by the braking system will recharge the battery.

Although this kind of behavior may not increase the power by much, but for a car, even if the power is increased by 5%, it can maintain the operation of some auxiliary systems of the car!
