Chapter 121: Killing Move

The fact is, you want to make as much money as you want to eat alone – that's impossible. After the cooperation of the conditions is liberalized and the interests affect each other, the helpers will be concerned. European and American car companies just grasp . Living this opportunity for bargaining, the cunning of the merchant is fully revealed.

But in order to suppress Toyota's momentum, it is worth it to let the "plan" go smoothly. The opponent is weak, and it cannot be ignored, otherwise when it becomes a climate, the group's losses will be greater. Of course, the allies are playing tricks, and it doesn't mean that Meng Qian has to passively take the move, as Tiger said, digging a pit and waiting for someone to jump.

Steve. Rosenstein made a few points: "I have estimated the financial situation and profitability of the entire group, and after the second round of financing is over, I can use the profits of Wells Fargo Energy to support the subsequent development, and the virtuous cycle will end until the company goes public." ”

"In the second round of financing, try to attract more car companies and groups that have influence on politics, everyone has a control mentality, and only when they participate in it, will they be more attentive to the new energy industry; As for the group's shareholding method, the optimal point is around 60%. ”

Tiger asked at this time: "Have you assessed that the car companies can afford to invest in so many factories?" ”

Meng Qian also has this question, North America, Asia and possible European factories in the future, I am afraid that they will face serious overcapacity, but they will lose themselves.

"If it was the previous lithium system, I would think that Tesla's North American factory was completely shooting itself in the foot." Steve. Rosenstein admits this.

"But the technology is very good now, and I personally think it's pretty cool. The door to new energy has been opened, will car companies be willing to lag behind? In a pig's eye! ”

"I can even say that because of Tesla's success. The door bar of an electric car is lower than that of a conventional car, after the explosion of technology. There will be more innovators in this field. ”

"This whole industry. Missing a hand to push it, we are the hand! ”

This once powerful financial tycoon is very optimistic about the prospects of new technologies. He used the intelligence at his disposal, assessed resources, and said rationally that the outbreak of the new energy industry had to wait. But this is operable, as long as the technology passes, the rest is artificial.

What happened next also confirmed his prediction.

Car companies are most worried about the supply problem, and they are afraid that the situation will be the same as that of Apple and Samsung. Apple has a monopoly and Samsung is waiting for death, so they must take a little share, even if it is 1%, which means that they have the right to speak, the right to vote, and the board of directors to arrange people, which is of great benefit to the future.

Wells Fargo Power is willing to give up some of the company's shares, and finally reassures these car companies. Their main business is automobiles, but in the new energy era, the proportion of battery constraints will rise! Car companies are making a big push for this. It is even necessary to form industrial alliances.

And when car companies invest money to participate, can their own development slow down?

This again confirms Steve's reasoning.

The subsequent response to the question of competitors has also been agreed. In order to protect their own interests, the automakers who formed the alliance used various relationships. Public opinion, economics and even politics - they stand in solidarity with the rich countries and call for respect, protection and support for intellectual property.

Feed the horses and run fast. So many heavyweight giants have spoken out in unison, and they have unanimously fallen to the Wells Fargo Group. Its influence covers the economic and political spheres. The United States, the European Union and other countries are very cautious and know it in their hearts. The Japanese were generalized.

Car companies all choose the batteries of Fuguo Power, who cares about Toyota, which has weaker technology?

Since you don't care about weaker technology, why not kick Toyota in order to curry favor with the rich country and hit this giant in the automotive industry by the way?

Interests affect each other, and things are logical.

Only Toyota's top management almost vomited blood after learning the news.

"These European and American powers!" That's what some call the current industrial alliances, which collude with the Wells Fargo Group to carve up Toyota's future.

In Japan, Honda is also joining forces with foreign companies to seize the new energy market. As you can imagine, they are bound to put a lot of pressure on Toyota.

This move not only caused Toyota's stock price to fall, but even Japan's domestic lithium battery industry was also seriously impacted by new technologies and declined frequently.

Toyota's boss had a headache: "What else can we do?" ”

Everyone below looked at each other and wanted to say something to revive their confidence, but the reality was too cruel, and the Wells Fargo Group had attracted the support of a large number of car companies and behind-the-scenes consortia, and the economy and politics were all influenced by them. No matter how strong the Japanese consortium is, it is also powerless, and it is difficult to compete with so many forces.

After a long silence, someone said: "We launched an offensive in the field of mobile phone batteries, and strive for a breakthrough in this area, monopoly is still a threat to rich energy resources, even if we can't defeat them, we have to bite back." ”

"At the same time, we will increase investment in new battery technology, and it is obvious that someone is secretly promoting it in the new energy sector, and the new era will come in advance, and we can't stop it, we can only catch up."

……

Indeed, in addition to the power battery, the mobile phone battery has yet to be solved.

The manufacturers of 700 million mobile phones, although not united, are not scattered, led by Samsung, as long as they play a calling role, there is still a threat to rich energy resources. If you want to solve this pile of troubles once and for all, you need a killer move.

To deal with the threat of monopoly, Meng Qian's approach is: "Authorize low-end battery technology." ”

High-end technology has been monopolized by Warwick and Apple, and it is impossible to let it go again, but Wells Fargo still has slightly weaker technology, which is not included in the cooperation agreement, as long as it is not in the name of Wells Fargo Energy, the group can engage in joint ventures again to calm down the whole incident.

Wells Fargo first met with Samsung's top management.

The purpose is to cooperate, Zong Yan put forward conditions: "Wells Fargo Group will authorize the joint venture to produce batteries and accept external investment." ”

"The maximum amount we are allowed to hold?" Samsung has a big appetite, but they can't help it, they are already scared by the trick they played before.

Since Warwick and Apple won the right to cooperate, the sky of Samsung Electronics has been cloudy, and in just half a year, sales have fallen to a terrifying level.

“20%。” Zong Yan said.

"It's too little, and the demand for Samsung is very high." said a Samsung representative.

Zong Yan smiled: "It's quite a lot." The joint venture will also have to join the funding of other battery manufacturers to build the world's largest production of mobile phone batteries, supplying at least 500 million batteries. ”

The Samsung representatives exchanged heads and nodded: "We agree to cooperate." ”

Now there is an opportunity, even if it is worse than high-end technology, only twice the capacity, but if you add fast charging technology, it will not make Samsung lose all the mid-to-high-end market. At the very least, the mid-range industry can be preserved, and the high-end field cannot compete, but it can also maintain face.

Samsung is compromising on this step, and other companies have no choice.

China's mobile phone battery giants used to hate Fuguo Energy, because because of their appearance, their income was cut in half, and they could only struggle at the low end and survive in a group; But today, they have changed their attitude and are grateful to the rich countries because the opportunity for cooperation has come.

In the joint venture factory, Wells Fargo Technology holds 50% of the shares and invests another 1% - they hardly pay for it!

For the remaining 49%, the outside world has to pay for the monopoly of the rich fargo group! The group has been in contact with other giant enterprises and can invest in shares. Because the output of 500 million yuan is too large, the joint venture factory needs to invest more money, and then the anti-monopoly consideration, cooperation is the most appropriate.

After this killing move is revealed, it directly seals the opponent's throat.

The trouble of the monopoly of Wells Fargo Energy has been solved, and the market for mobile phone batteries has also been filled by technology, and the group will increase its revenue; Although Apple is unhappy, there is no way, after all, no one expected that Wells Fargo would have so much battery technology, which is simply everything.

Apple has turned the frustration into an investment request to participate in the second round of financing for Wells Fargo Power.

Apple also clearly has ambitions for new energy vehicles.

This is not a problem for Meng Qian, he is most happy to see the introduction of countless giants in the field of new energy, so as to promote development, and when his new technology comes out, the market has been perfect, people have become accustomed to electric vehicles, and then the introduction of better and stronger technology, the future is unlimited.

Wells Fargo's recruitment is fatal, and Toyota's new energy ambitions have been severely damaged.

The beneficiaries of power batteries and mobile phone batteries are all falling to its side. The only thing Toyota can hold on to is its current technology – and it faces lawsuits. The future has been cut off, their base camp is not calm, and Honda is eyeing it because the batteries they can use are stronger!

Although Toyota is currently the number one giant in the automotive industry, the setback in the field of new energy will have little impact on the huge company - but what about five or ten years from now? Now car companies all over the world are committed to the development of new energy, which is the trend of the future, and they have almost lost the future. (To be continued.) )
