Chapter 319: Refutation of New Energy
Maas looked at Xia Guo's intelligence, and what he was most worried about had happened - the origin group would get involved in the new energy vehicle industry.
If you only look at pure electric vehicles, Tesla's annual sales last year were 400,000 units, three times that of BYD's new energy vehicles, and N times the sales of other new energy vehicles in the world combined.
In the sales of pure electric new energy vehicles, Tesla has enough confidence to beat any brand in Xia Guo, including BYD Automobile.
There are two main reasons why Tesla has such self-confidence.
One is that the core core technology of pure electric new energy vehicles is in their own hands, and the other is that the brand's marketing power far exceeds that of other brands.
Therefore, Tesla can build a headquarters in Xiaguo and Shanghai, and build a super factory, because Tesla is not afraid to compete with any car brand in Xiaguo.
But what Maas and Tesla are most worried about is Origin's entry into the new energy vehicle industry.
Unlike other new energy vehicle brands in Xia Guo, Origin Group has never played cards according to common sense, and as long as Origin Group enters a certain industry, it will definitely have a subversive impact on the industry.
This is true for cosmetics, critical care medicine, systems, mobile phone batteries, and food.
If the origin group enters the new energy vehicle industry, what will happen in the future, Maas cannot predict.
But Maas is now afraid to be careless about the Xia market, and Tesla must take it step by step.
"We shouldn't worry too much." Mas's assistant said: "I just took a look at the materials, the total market value of the Nanma Group acquired by the origin group is only more than 4 billion RMB, but more than 600 million meters, and our market value has already exceeded 420 billion meters, which is almost 700 times that of the Nanma Group, which is not an order of magnitude competition." ”
The assistant said: "So far, Nanma Group has only one pure electric new energy vehicle production line, and it is a very backward production line, and the new energy vehicles produced are just conventional passenger cars, with a range of less than 200 kilometers and a very slow speed. The car models of Nanma Group's automobiles, such as 8S and 5S, are just very backward in technology. ”
The assistant is not very worried about the origin group's entry into new energy vehicles.
The leading position of the new energy vehicle industry is not so easy to be subverted.
The assistant added: "Even if the Origin Group acquires the South Malaysia Group, their energy technology is far behind that of BYD Automobile, let alone us. I think that the acquisition of Nanma Group by Origin Group may not be to enter the new energy vehicle industry, but just to make capital by playing with tickets. ”
The assistant, like Maas, knows Xia Guo very well.
The reason why he said this was because he had seen too many Xia Guoju companies invest heavily in the new energy vehicle industry in order to make business or ZZ capital.
After these companies throw money into it, they never really sell cars, but just make concepts and PPTs, and then use concept PPT as an introduction to drive their stocks soar or drive their real estate and other industries that really make money.
In the front, there is Mr. Jia, who is playing this thing, but it does not prevent others from continuing to play, and the back is playing with new energy vehicles, including Hengda, which sells houses, Geri, which sells air conditioners, and even sells steel, cement, motors, etc.
Why is everyone so actively engaged in the field of new energy vehicles, but at present, not a single new energy vehicle has been developed or sold? A lot of people actually know it.
The acquisition of the South Malaysia Group by the Origin Group caused the share price of the South Malaysia Group to soar, so the assistant also classified the Origin Group as a company that played with concepts.
Maas shook his head and said, "I really hope that the Origin Group is playing with concepts, but I'm afraid the real situation will not be like this, the Origin Group has been established for so long, what is playing with concepts?" ”
Maas took a sip of coffee and said with some concern: "Is it true that new energy vehicles are only charging?" I don't think so. ”
Is it true that new energy vehicles only have to plug the charging plug into the socket to charge?
Zhou Xiao didn't think like that.
The joint laboratory in Jiangcheng continued to tackle the technical difficulties of DNA storage data, and everything went well, so Zhou Xiao continued to assist Chen Ye in Hai Province and did not return to Jiangcheng.
The plant of the Nanma Group in Hai Province has been converted into a new energy vehicle laboratory.
In the laboratory, a series of modifications are underway for the car modeled after the Nanma 8S.
The first is to eliminate all important components such as automobile engines and gearboxes, and replace them with electric motors and gearboxes.
Because it is an experimental product, the motor does not need to have a high speed, let alone completely exceed Tesla, it only needs to meet the experimental requirements.
The previous engine and transmission R&D team of the Southern Malaysia Group was also fully engaged in the research and development of electric motors and ancillary components.
Compared with the engine, it is much less difficult to meet the development of motors for passenger cars.
These are not the main R&D contents, the main R&D content is the battery of the new energy vehicle of the origin group.
This time, in the upper part of the chassis, Zhang Zhiyang's team used a microbial battery pack.
The principle of microbial battery pack is the same as that of the lithium battery pack of new energy vehicles.
In doing so, theoretically speaking, it is completely capable of driving electric vehicles.
Because microbial batteries are much higher than lithium batteries in terms of stability and durability, but there is a problem.
Lithium batteries can be charged when they are not charged, but how to replenish energy when the microbial battery is out of power?
In this design, Zhang Zhiyang and Zhou Xiao discussed it repeatedly, and finally decided to use a high-consistency energy liquid.
In other words, new energy vehicles will retain the "fuel tank".
Of course, the fuel tank here is not filled with gasoline, and the high-consistency energy liquid developed by the Origin Group.
The raw materials of the energy solution can be high-conversion rate green silk fungus (absorbing solar energy), domestic organic waste, wood, dead grass, etc., which can be transformed by special-shaped digestive bacteria.
When Zhou Xiao was discussing with Zhang Zhiyang, he said: "What is a new energy vehicle, we must let go of our thinking, and don't think that new energy is called new energy if it is lithium battery plus charging."
The so-called new energy should be based on the premise of saving the earth's energy, reducing environmental pollution, and then ensuring the normal operation of the car. ”
"If we develop a new 'gasoline', it is cheap, has no pollution to the environment, and can be synthesized, and this new 'gasoline' is also a new energy source."
"Now whether it's Tesla or Biddy, are their lithium batteries really environmentally friendly? In fact, the process of manufacturing and destroying batteries is not environmentally friendly at all. Also, is the electricity charged really environmentally friendly? Xia's electricity composition is thermal power (72.4%), hydropower (24.5%), nuclear power (2.4%), and renewable energy (0.7%). ”
"Thermal power is obtained by burning coal, is burning coal environmentally friendly?"
