Investing in industry and investing in equity and investment channels are completely different concepts, in the previous life, Zhou You did not open a factory, but also knew that it is very simple to start a company, but it is countless times more difficult to run a business, especially a large automobile group. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the Internet industry, all the people who travel around are investing in equity, which is equivalent to only holding shares, not managing, and at most putting forward some development suggestions and management opinions. Even Tmall, although it is an e-commerce company, is more about integration and channels.

Although Zhouyou's investment in South America and Africa involves the investment of hundreds or thousands of enterprises, Zhouyou only accounts for 20% of the shares and has never really participated in the management of the enterprise.

Therefore, this time to open an automobile factory, although there will be comprehensive technical support from Tesla in the United States, but there is no bottom in the heart of Zhou You.

A car involves more than 20,000 parts, even an electric car, which lacks the most complex engine, but also has more than 10,000 parts. If there is a problem with any part, it may cause quality problems, and when I think of this, I feel that my confidence is a little lacking.

Therefore, on the basis of giving 20% of Tesla's shares, Zhou You decided to introduce another car manufacturer, and he will hand over the quality control of the whole vehicle to a professional manufacturer to manage.

Hubei Automobile is a partner in the intention of traveling, although they do not have too advanced technology in the field of sedans. But now Tesla in the mainland will be the same as Tesla in the United States, using one channel for procurement, only need their production management and quality control, and they are still competent in this regard.

Of course, feelings belong to feelings, and business belongs to business. Although Zhou You intends to cooperate with Hubei Automobile, he will not reveal his base code at the beginning, and always have to contact other manufacturers to get better cooperation conditions.

More than half a month ago, Zhou You's stake in Tesla in the United States brought a strong sensation to the mainland auto industry, especially when he deliberately revealed that he wanted to open a Tesla factory in the mainland, which was immediately welcomed by mainland auto companies.

Tesla has not yet been successfully developed, and of course it will not disclose some of its advanced technologies now and share them with all car manufacturers. However, Tesla has a significant advantage over other factories in battery research and development, charging, and motor power torque technology research and development.

Therefore, when Zhouyou obtains these technical supports, mainland manufacturers will of course attach importance to the cooperation with Zhouyou if they want to obtain these technologies.

Although they have traveled to the Americas and Europe for more than half a month, several negotiation teams sent by the Singapore headquarters have already begun to contact mainland enterprises.

This time when he came back, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the local leader personally greeted Zhou You at the airport and directly brought Zhou You to the Municipal Party Committee compound.

In the face of Zhou You, they played the emotional card, and they did not leave the praise and gratitude to Zhou You. However, they do want to thank Zhou You, not to mention the more than one billion donations of Zhou You, just a film and television city project, which can bring tens of millions of tourists to Xiangcheng every year, so that Xiangcheng's tourism economy has never flowed into the stream, and directly entered the first-class level.

The comings and goings of various crews and filming have really raised the soft power of Xiangcheng to a big level, from a third-rate city to a second-rate city, and now the local leaders speak a lot louder in the province.

Among the crowd that greeted the tour, of course, there were also leaders of Hubei Automobile, who talked about their advantages from all aspects. But in fact, in addition to the long history of producing automobiles, Hubei Automobile does not have too many advantages at all.

What's more, they still developed by producing trucks, and even if they start producing cars now, they are relying on the technology of foreign companies.

Of course, Zhou You will not expose these details, he actually intends to cooperate with the other party, and now Naqiao is nothing more than to make the future negotiations smoother and strive to obtain better conditions.

That night, the city leaders set up a sumptuous welcome dinner in the guest house of the municipal party committee, and Zhou You did not put up the slightest shelf, and enjoyed themselves with their guests and hosts.

However, when he returned to his hotel near the film and television city and held a meeting with a group of his subordinates who had come to the mainland in advance, he lost a lot of thoughts about cooperating with Hubei Automobile.

Several negotiation teams had some contact with several domestic automobile manufacturers, and then realized that running an industry seemed to be more complicated than they thought!

First of all, domestic automobile manufacturers in the production of auto parts, there is no advantage, even now the domestic joint ventures, private automobile factories have dozens, but the supply of spare parts is almost monopolized by foreign enterprises. Because the auto parts enterprises in the mainland, whether in the production process or the accuracy of the parts, are not as good as foreign enterprises.

Many automobile manufacturers in the mainland, especially those producing cars, are more like automobile assembly companies than automobile companies, and there are very few parts that they actually produce themselves. The parts on the automobile, except for the sheet metal parts on the appearance and some stamping parts, are produced by themselves, and almost all other parts are purchased.

Secondly, domestic automobile manufacturers not only do not have any advantages in accessories, but also in terms of research and development, they can not meet the needs of travel.

The negotiation team is in contact with large domestic automobile companies, but they do not want to say that they have technical research and development capabilities in engines, gearboxes, and transmission systems, and even the simplest chassis parts and connectors do not have technical research and development capabilities, let alone more important electronic systems.

It is impossible to rely on Tesla's headquarters all the time to open a Tesla factory, because this is equivalent to getting your neck stuck in someone's hands, and whenever the other party shrinks slightly, you will be sad.

What's more, he not only wants to produce a car, but also wants to be the same as Apple's mobile phone, to produce a cross-era product with excellent experience level, according to this standard, almost none of the domestic car manufacturers meet the requirements.

This is the current state of technology in the world's largest automobile producing country, and it is impossible to mention it at all. Relying on them, it is almost impossible to improve one's technical reserves.

However, there is no good news here, and Biati, who is far away in Pengcheng, still gave Zhou You some surprises. This company, which has only been involved in the automotive industry for more than three years, although it does not have any competitiveness in automobile production, they have another advantage, that is, batteries.

Their founders are battery experts, who make a fortune by making a fortune on batteries, and they also have a lot of patents in the research and development of batteries, and are among the top ten battery manufacturers.

Knowing this information, Zhou You's heart was moved. Because the lithium mine he has invested in has already started, it will become the world's largest lithium supplier in the future. The project that BIATTI has more advantages in is lithium batteries, and the depth of their cooperation is very worth excavating.

And in the impression of traveling, the development of the Biatee factory is still very good, especially in the electric vehicle industry, although it is not as cutting-edge as Tesla, but in the cheap market range, the market share is very high.

The Head of Investment Analysis, Lim Han, is a seasoned market analyst who was originally an actuary at Temasek and has extensive experience in market conditions and assessments. He reminded Zhou You: "Boss, although BIATTI has some technical reserves, the financial crisis has led to a sharp decline in their exports, and the current operation of the enterprise is relatively difficult. It is said that they are still looking for investment everywhere, and I am afraid that there is no money to invest in our project. ”

Zhou You laughed and said: "They don't have to be afraid if they don't have money, don't they have me, it just so happens that I am also a little interested in their company, you can help me communicate, I am willing to become a shareholder of Biatti, and I am willing to guarantee the project they cooperate with us, and let the bank pay this money for them." ”

Originally, they were looking for a collaborator, but now they are investing in other companies, and they are willing to guarantee that they can invest with bank financing. Lin Han couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, but he was even happier. One more operation project is equivalent to a lot of power in his hands, so he will not be disgusted with more projects in his hands.

However, when it comes to bringing in collaborators, it is not enough to have one BIATTI, because they are also newcomers to the automotive industry. Moreover, in terms of fun experience and technology experience, Biarte can't help too much.

The meeting lasted until the early hours of the morning, and after absorbing the opinions of his subordinates from all sides, Zhou You finally sorted out his thinking.

He's going to build cars, but not just cars. Therefore, his vision should not be limited to this aspect, but should be broadened. In addition to car companies, he should also introduce Internet companies to build cars with him, because only they can better understand the future development trend of science and technology, so that Tesla has always been at the forefront of the times.

In this regard, the most memorable thing about Zhou You is Google, their satellite maps, unmanned driving, including Google Glass, are a bit of a black technology.

Therefore, Google is the first company that Zhou You considers, but in order to balance the relationship, Zhou You is ready to bring in the whiteness, so as not to let Google dominate.

In addition, as the largest content producer, the largest game platform, and the largest social platform among Internet companies, Tencent cannot let it go. Otherwise, if he didn't bring Brother Pony to play with him for such a thing, he would definitely be depressed.

Moreover, there is another advantage of attracting the three of them to come in, that is, their direct shareholding can reduce their share a little.

In the original plan, Zhou You was determined to hold more than 50% of the shares, and to achieve absolute control, so that the company could develop according to its own expectations.

He has a 5 percent stake in Baihua and 5 percent in Google, and more than 20 percent in Tencent. Therefore, if they join in, Zhou You's direct shareholding can be reduced to less than 50 percent, as long as the direct shareholding and indirect shareholding can be added up, it can exceed 50 percent.

The next day, accompanied by the leaders of the development zone of the city leaders, Zhou You went to the automobile city for on-site inspection. In the development zone, there is not only a diesel engine power plant, a thermal power plant, but also four automobile manufacturers of Hubei Automobile, which produce light trucks, Citroen and Nissan models.

There are also hundreds of parts supporting companies, logistics supporting companies, and one that was once the largest all-terrain test site in Asia.

I have traveled around and toured, and I am still very satisfied with the environment here. Besides, since it is a favor, then it is simple, and in the afternoon of the same day, Zhou You made a decision and promised that the new factory would be built in this development zone.

A group of leaders were excited, not only approved 2,000 acres of land as soon as they opened their mouths, but also promised various preferential policies.

If you build a factory, it will not be the establishment of only one factory, and some of the main supporting enterprises of this factory will definitely follow here to build a factory, and the achievements of these leaders will be recorded again.

Compared with the construction of the plant, the negotiation with Hubei Automobile is much more difficult. They thought that Zhou You was building an ordinary car factory, which was nothing more than electric drive, but Zhou You wanted to make a product with the ultimate experience.

Therefore, now these supporting enterprises of Hubei Automobile, in addition to the matching of sheet metal parts, there are almost no supporting manufacturers to meet the needs of travel. The highest-end cars produced here are more than 200,000, but Tesla is a car with a price of more than 500,000 yuan, not to mention those key accessories, that is, the interior support, if it is not upgraded here, it cannot meet the requirements.

In addition, their appetite is not small, and when they open their mouths, they have to share half of the shares of Zhou You's family, and it seems very difficult to even let Zhou You account for 51% of the shares.

Zhou You didn't even have the interest to laugh at them, so he showed up to say hello to them, and asked Lin Wei, the negotiator this time, to help him deal with these people under the pretext that there was something wrong.

As the first person to travel with her, Lin Wei has long since changed from a small clerk to a white bone spirit in the scope of international business. Now she is not only the General Manager of the Commercial Salvage Company, but also the Senior Vice President of the entire Nanyang Group, where she is responsible for the administration and investment advisory of the Singapore headquarters.

Seeing that Zhou You didn't even have the mind to socialize, Lin Wei was also unceremonious, so she didn't care how high-level the leader sat opposite, and said directly: "In the Tesla factory in the mainland, except for the 20% shareholding of Tesla in the United States, Mr. Zhou must hold more than 50% of the shares, so the shares that can be distributed to the collaborators will definitely not exceed 30%. ”

The other party smiled gently, but said in a firm tone: "In the catalogue of industries with restrictions on foreign investment, Article 11 clearly states that the Chinese side shall have a shareholding ratio of not less than 50% in the manufacturing enterprises of complete vehicles, special vehicles and motorcycles. ”

"This problem is easy to solve, and Mr. Zhou's shares can be recorded in his uncle's name, because his uncle's household registration is still in the mainland. Therefore, this enterprise is not foreign-owned, but private-owned. ”

The other party obviously didn't think of this, and suddenly he was a little speechless. "Thirty percent is a little less......"

Lin Wei came with another double blow: "You are wrong, Mr. Zhou's 50 percent, Tesla's 20 percent, and the remaining share ratio is almost 30 percent, but it is not reserved for one, but five." In addition to your company, we will also bring in another car factory, and there are three Internet companies, all of which together have a 30% stake. ”
