Chapter 119: Three Moves
Taking advantage of this east wind, the clinical and compound papers of Montessori Pharmaceutical Company and related new drugs have been browsed and interpreted by more professionals, and the results have also been given a good evaluation - if the results of its three phases can be kept consistent with the report, the pharmaceutical industry will produce many masterpieces.
Meng Qian, who also has a name at the back of the paper, is currently devoting himself to the field of AI.
But researching artificial intelligence is not an overnight job, and even Meng Qian cannot guarantee that there will be results. He is currently unable to master this field, and it is estimated that half of it is not available. The road can only be walked out step by step, and it will take ten or eight years as a side hustle.
The rest of the team was not in a hurry, and no one thought that the results would be achieved in the short term. Tiger even set the goal of seeing results in his lifetime. Every progress that has been made so far is an encouragement to the team. Branched projects can also trigger a lot of business opportunities.
Meng Qian already has several commercial uses of AI – for the general consumer. This is something that the company has not yet developed, and his position as a shareholder means that he can license the relevant AI technology – some of which cannot be bypassed. For him who has the idea of self-reliance, it is very important.
If Meng Qian has a unique idea, such as AI on the mobile phone, he can open a company alone, and he will also receive technical support and financial assistance...... That's why he invested as a shareholder.
As time passed, the team had digested the concept proposed by Meng Qian and diverged on this path. In addition to the four main personnel, the research project assistants are also following up, and they are very close to the theory of AI imagination that they want to test.
Meng Qian wanted to work harder and work overtime for a day and a half to catch up, but found that he overestimated his teammates - on weekends, they all put down work and went on vacation for leisure.
David Freeman also said: "Life is short, while our old guys are still alive, don't hurry up to enjoy the excitement, and regret it when you can't move?" ”
"So that's why you're here specifically for beer and sunbathing?" Meng Qian sat down beside him, and the beer bottle touched him.
"Look at this rich man's land, enjoy it more." Freeman took a sip of his beer.
This is Tiger's home, covering a vast area, in fact, it is connected by two houses, they use this as a resort, they want to have a swimming pool, and they want a tennis court, but the area on the top of the hill is limited, they can only choose one, they want to have both, they simply buy the house next to it.
It can only be said that it is easy to be capricious when you have money.
Meng Qian turned his head to look at the tennis court next to him, Wang Manwen was playing with Erica, and Madeleine, who had just finished a set, was a referee on the side, enjoying sports and sweating. The men of them just lay leisurely on the edge of the pool, basking in the sun, drinking beer and talking nonsense.
This kind of day is not bad, work when you should work, and you can't be vague about vacations. Squint your eyes and take a nap, and then enjoy the fruits and snacks brought by the maid, the afternoon is so wonderful...... It seems that man is susceptible to environmental influences, and he will not stop to rest until he has to finish his work.
"David." Tiger shouted.
"What?" Freeman pulls down his sunglasses.
"It's not you, David, the pot-bellied seal, it's this sturdy young fellow." Tiger didn't forget to make fun of Freeman's beer belly.
"I'm symmetrical!" Freeman touched his belly dissatisfiedly and continued to lie down.
"What's the matter?" Meng Qian looked at Tiger.
"I've heard that Toyota is planning to promote lithium-ion battery electric vehicles in California recently." Tiger is bringing serious things, which is really rare.
Meng Qian also realized that the matter was important, and sat up: "What do you think? ”
There have been so many things to do lately that Meng Qian almost ignored one of the main points of his trip to the United States: to win the support of more friends and interest groups for the Wells Fargo Group.
Toyota's battery technology, to a certain extent, affects the future interests of Fuguo Power, how to ensure his maximum profits, commercial means must be fast, accurate and ruthless.
"The bigger the market for Toyota's batteries, the lower the value of Wells Fargo Power will be, so it is necessary to limit their patents and development at any cost."
"Secondly, we will open up the low-end market, although the cost of batteries is high, ordinary models can use less batteries and shorten mileage to reduce costs."
"Finally, the construction of the industrial chain, charging stations, interface specifications, and even consumer car brands are built as soon as possible, and mastering them is equivalent to mastering the future."
The two exchanged that the current focus is on suppressing Toyota's technology, and no opponent can lower the value of Fuguo Power.
Wells Fargo Power is expected to go public within three years, and the results must be beautiful.
This is also the purpose of Meng Qian's meeting with American car companies two days later.
There are representatives of General Motors, Ford, and Tesla, and new energy vehicles are also projects supported by the U.S. government, and there will also be subsidies and tax incentives.
Tiger said to him: "From battery supply, interface standards to joint venture construction of super charging stations, you are one of the deciders, and you can mention it if you have any opinions." ”
"Okay." Meng Qian nodded.
Car giants and material suppliers sat down to discuss various cooperation, during which Meng Qian also expressed his opinions, and he was most concerned about the unification of charging stations and interfaces.
Halfway through the conversation, GM's representative had a question: "At the moment, we are most in need of batteries, and we don't know the level of production, the way of supply, the target group, and the unit price." ”
Meng Qian explained: "The factory has been converted to a phased construction mode, and the first phase is expected to be operational by the end of the year, supporting the demand for up to 50,000 Tesla standard battery packs. ”
Representatives of automakers said: "50,000 units may not be enough. ”
"Hear him in full, gentlemen." Tiger reminded loudly, he knew that Meng Qian's English was relatively average, and his expression was a little not fast enough.
Meng Qian cast a grateful look and continued: "Considering the three times the capacity of the battery, and then considering its high cost, the number of batteries can be reduced by half. ”
Everyone present understood, and looked at the yellow man who had created miracles.
Meng Qian also intends to pull them into industrial cooperation.
Once the industrial cooperation is reached, Toyota can even top. If you live under pressure, no matter how much you toss it, it can only be one acre and three points of land. Rival brands, with higher quality, higher capacity, faster charging batteries, in terms of cost, are only a small part more, how to compete?
This is the first move.
But it's not Tiger's character to defend and not attack.
He himself has the blood of a fighting nation, and his second move is directed at Toyota's base camp - the Japanese market.
"Honda?" Meng Qian got the answer.
Tiger replied affirmatively: "There is also this large-scale car company in Japan, and it is the only one that has the ability to compete with Toyota in the low-end market." ”
Although Meng Qian is not a brainless hater of Japan, he does have a very general feeling about the Japanese, and since the patent issue appeared, he has only thought about seizing the market and seizing the opportunity, ignoring the Japanese market. Now this trick proposed by Tiger has made him think broadly.
Think about it, if Honda has a better and stronger battery than Toyota, but the price is not much different, Toyota can still play? This move immediately robbed Japan of most of the new energy market, and it will not make the Japanese uncomfortable - buying Honda's cars is the same as their local brand.
"That's a good trick." Meng Qian admired, in the end, ginger is still old and spicy, this trick is much more clever than the stupid fight with Toyota and hatred of the sun.
"You can talk to the head of the group right now." Tiger reminds.
"Right now." Meng Qian took advantage of the fact that his thoughts were still clear, and dialed the phone of the boss Zong Yan - it was still early in the morning on his side, and he was woken up by the phone.
Meng Qian expressed a few words of apology, and then said: "Now there is a strategy of internal chaos......"
……
Their third trick is to prevent problems before they happen.
Europe is not a major market for Japanese cars, but it can kill two birds with one stone, broaden the market of Fuguo Dynamics, and at the same time hit its rivals.
If the interests of European car companies are tied to the technology of Fuguo Power, then a Japanese company rushes in at this time and wants a piece of the pie - you ask the Europeans, will they agree?
Tiger pointed out: "The key is still based on interests, as long as interests will affect each other, the brains of the capitalists will turn faster than anyone else." ”
Meng Qian learned a lot of tricks and learned some of them himself: "Then the best way is for the company and local enterprises to contribute their own funds?" ”
Tiger nodded: "Joint venture is inevitable, and policies and funds are taken into account." Let's be realistic, does the company still have the funds to invest separately? ”
Meng Qian shook his head: "There are not many idle funds. ”
Tiger revealed his strong connections: "I can connect you with a few European investment and fund companies, with local people intervening, and the political and geographical advantages are greater." ”
