Chapter 845 - There is no way to compete at all
This negotiation, which is based on technological and economic strength, has been quite difficult from the beginning. Automobile factories in the United States, Europe, and Japan are all paying attention to closing their bases and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. No one has lost the most important opportunity before the land and air amphibious vehicle has officially become popular in the market.
On the issue of market sharing, Galaxy Industry also has its own considerations, whether in the long term or short term, it is certainly unrealistic not to enter the automobile consumer market in the United States, Europe and Japan.
In the short term, last year, the Galaxy Heavy Industry sold 100 so-called limited edition amphibious vehicles, of which 30 or 40 were purchased by European, American and Japanese people.
In the long run, when the land and air amphibious vehicles are popularized, the price falls from a high level, the profits of land and air amphibious vehicles will become relatively thin, and if you want to earn more profits, you need a large sales volume to support, and the United States, Europe and Japan are the world's most important automobile consumer markets, if the Galaxy industry gives up, it will lose more.
The two sides did not give in to each other, and the American, European and Japanese automakers were forced to make concessions. It is impossible for them not to make concessions, after all, now Galaxy Industry has mastered the most advanced technology of landing and air amphibious vehicles, and is the leader and leader of this new industry, if they do not open their own market, Galaxy Industry can completely not reach an agreement with them, bypass them, and directly sell land and air amphibious vehicles to their country. At that time, it will be quite difficult for them to keep the land-air amphibious vehicles manufactured by Galaxy Industry out of the country.
Correspondingly, Galaxy Industry has also made certain concessions on the issue of market sharing. As a commodity, the cars manufactured by Galaxy Industrial want to enter the United States, Europe, and Japan. There is one link that cannot be bypassed, and that is customs. Like Toyota, General Motors and other companies. If they lobbied the government of their own country for public relations and urged their own government to legislate, they could heavily tax the land and air amphibious vehicles manufactured by Galaxy Industry, or even ban imports, and prohibit Galaxy Industry from setting up factories in their own country, which is undoubtedly equivalent to achieving their goal and blocking the land and air amphibious vehicles manufactured by Galaxy Industry from the country. If this happens. For Galaxy Industry, it is naturally quite unfavorable, so it is necessary to make concessions.
In the end, Galaxy Industry and the American, European and Japanese automobile manufacturers reached an agreement acceptable to all parties on how to share the market. There are two main contents:
First, in the automobile markets such as China, the United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom, all parties are committed to abide by the rules of the market economy, deal with problems from a purely commercial perspective, and share the land and air amphibious vehicle market around the world.
Second, in the home country where each automobile manufacturer participating in the negotiation is located, the local enterprise enjoys the right of joint venture, and if the automobile manufacturing enterprises of other countries want to enter the home country to set up a factory, they must enter into a joint venture with the local enterprise, and the joint venture ratio can be negotiated, and the local enterprise can enjoy up to 50% of the equity, and the specific equity ratio is determined by negotiation. If there is no factory, simply export land and air amphibious vehicles to the home country, and local enterprises will carry out agent sales, and the agent sales company will be established as a joint venture between the export enterprise and the local enterprise. At this time, the majority of the equity held by the local enterprise cannot exceed 30%.
In order to reach this agreement, the parties involved in the talks spent more than a month and a month, starting from around New Year's Day and continuing until the end of February, before they came to an outcome that was barely acceptable to all parties.
After that, the participants began to discuss the second issue, which was the right to use patents. The various technologies involved in land-air amphibious vehicles are only mastered by Galaxy Industry, and there are more than 100, nearly 200 items. Some of them have been registered for patents, and some of them have not been registered at all, and they are trade secrets that are under the sole control of Galaxy Industrial.
In the process of researching hydrogen-powered amphibious vehicles, American, European and Japanese automobile manufacturers are also studying land-air amphibious vehicles based on oil-powered, pneumatic and oil-gas hybrids. Don't look at the United States, Europe and Japan in today's world, they are relatively effective countries in the protection of intellectual property rights, but if they really need to, they will infringe on their intellectual property rights. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as the signboards of many century-old stores in China and the trademarks of well-known enterprises being preemptively registered by Americans, Europeans, and Japanese. In addition, it is also known to the world that the Japanese stole the secrets of the manufacture of cloisonné and rice paper from China. Of course, the Japanese can't be blamed for this, and our own sense of secrecy is not strong, it also has a lot to do with it, just like someone who has gold and silver treasures in his own home, knowing that the thief passed by his door, and the door was opened, and even smiled and sent the thief home, "If the thief is not next year, then he is not a thief" Shi ※
When designing the air-ground amphibious vehicle, Liu Shiqing took into account the need for secrecy and formulated a thorough design plan for this purpose.
On the premise that the module is bad, the most important modules are designed to be anti-demolition. That is, after assembly, unless a specially designed tool and disassembly method are used, it will be broken as soon as it is disassembled. Automobile manufacturers in the United States, Europe, and Japan have joined forces to dismantle several land-air amphibious vehicles that were purchased at high prices, but all of them have been dismantled, so that until now, they have not figured out several major difficulties in the manufacture of land-air amphibious vehicles. Of course, the more important thing is that the amphibious vehicle manufactured by Galaxy Industry is the electric power, and the core power source is the battery in the car.
This kind of land-air amphibious vehicle special battery, Galaxy Industry only applied for a design patent, and did not apply for a manufacturing patent and formula patent, but the United States, Europe and Japan automobile manufacturers in the dismantling of these batteries, only to find that the anti-demolition technology of these batteries is particularly damaged, and I don't know what substance Galaxy Industry added to it, if it is split in the air, as long as the solution in the battery leaks slightly, it will spontaneously combust immediately, and the existing known fire extinguishing technologies have no way to prevent the combustion of this solutionUnless it is in a vacuum environment, the manipulator is manipulated to disassemble, so it will not cause combustion. But in this case, great care must be taken to burn as soon as the solution comes into contact with gases such as air, oxygen or carbon dioxide.
However, even if the electrolyte in the battery is extracted in a vacuum environment, when the electrolyte is analyzed, it is found that there are dozens of ions in it, and these ions can be converted into chemical energy and electrical energy, which is also quite difficult to study.
Even if you use a supercomputer to arrange and combine, it is likely that it will take days or even weeks to list all the compounds, and to make all these compounds and carry out the real thing, it is impossible to choose the right one without a few years or even more than ten years of work, unless you are lucky enough to find the most correct one from the hundreds of millions of compounds at the beginning. However, it is much more difficult to win the grand prize of the Super Lotto by buying a set of lottery tickets.
If they follow the normal situation, when they find out the correct compounds and chemical equations, at that time, the construction of land and air amphibious vehicles manufactured by Galaxy Industry will run all over the world.
In terms of technology, the hydrogen-powered land-air amphibious vehicles of American, European and Japanese automobile manufacturers, as well as several other land-air amphibious vehicles, do not have any technical advantages, and the hydrogen power, which is the most competitive advantage, is also because the source of hydrogen is not easy, the storage is inconvenient, and the danger is relatively large, and the competitiveness of hydrogen-powered land-air amphibious vehicles is strictly hindered.
American, European and Japanese automobile manufacturers are well aware that the most mature and competitive at present is the land-air amphibious vehicle of Galaxy Industry. Together, they put pressure on Galaxy to open up all technology patents for air-ground amphibious vehicles, including batteries.
Of course, the technology of the battery can not be disclosed, this is a high-tech that can cause heavy technological changes, and it is impossible for Galaxy Industry to publish its electrolyte formula to the public before making enough money with this technology. Of course, not disclosing the technology does not mean that this kind of battery cannot be used for export.
Galaxy Industries offered an extremely high price. According to the different models, the different capacity of the battery, the export price is also very different, the cheapest battery is 7 million Chinese dollars, two is 14 million Chinese dollars, equivalent to a little more than 2.15 million US dollars. An amphibious vehicle needs at least two of these batteries, that is to say, American, European and Japanese automakers them. If you use the most expensive one, one battery is as high as 80 million Huaxia coins, and two are 160 million Huaxia coins.
This is only the price of the battery, in addition to the patents and technologies contained in each land-air amphibious vehicle, Galaxy Industry has to package and sell, and a car has to charge a patent license fee of 6 million Chinese coins.
In other words, just buying a patent and a battery, stacked at the cheapest price, would cost a full 24 million Chinese coins, or almost $3.7 million. Of course, this price is much cheaper than the limited edition amphibious car launched by Galaxy Industrial, but compared with the cheap version of the amphibious car launched by Galaxy Industrial, there is no price advantage. If you add any manufacturing costs, there is no way for American, European and Japanese automobile manufacturers to compete with Galaxy Industry.
