Chapter 445 [Breaking the Petrodollar Hegemony Monopoly? 】

Things have finally returned to calm, and Lao Yu, who is in charge of Glory, also breathed a sigh of relief, this moth came out, Glory is the most worried, once it collapses and affects the supply time of chip production capacity, the plan that Glory has just formulated to launch products this year will definitely come to naught.

The launch time of Honor's first-generation products basically depends on the supply time of the first batch of chips of Xiongxin Electronics.

Fortunately, there is no danger.

……

Côte d'Azur company, Galaxy City headquarters, CEO's office.

Today, Luo Sheng rarely came to the company to clock in and go to work on time, but at this moment in his office, Yao Jianhong looked at the big boss with a stunned face, and carefully recalled what he had just said.

"Mr. Luo, I heard you right, are we going to enter the automotive industry?"

Just now, when Yao Jianhong heard Luo Sheng's thoughts, the whole person was a little confused, and he found that he couldn't catch up with the big boss's ideas at all, and he didn't know what to say about this crossover.

Huaguo is now a veritable automobile consumer country, but it is definitely not a strong automobile industry, the automobile industry is undoubtedly the backbone of modern high-end manufacturing, a country's manufacturing industry is advanced or backward, the automobile industry can be spied from it to a large extent.

The Japanese, Americans, and Germans are representatives of the automotive field, and they are all big and powerful countries in industrial manufacturing.

"You heard it right, but you may have understood it wrong, I want to build a car, not against traditional cars such as Toyota, but against Tesla's new energy electric vehicles, not only that, but the car we want to build is unmanned and self-driving." Luo Sheng said with great certainty.

For a moment, Yao Jianhong was stunned that he couldn't say a word, and he felt it from Luo Sheng's expression and tone, he was really not joking.

BOSS: Is this a new round of change in the automotive industry?

Luo Sheng said in an orderly manner: "It is divided into three strategic steps, the first step is to build the company, the second step is to achieve the listing of electric vehicles, and the third step is to realize unmanned autonomous driving." ”

For the Cte d'Azur, there is no gene for making cars at all, and the so-called interlacing is like a mountain, not to mention that the span is so large.

The automotive industry is a cyclical industry, and the key point is that it is still an asset-heavy industry, with huge investment, slow turnover, and many competitors.

Yao Jianhong saw Luo Shengyun and said lightly, but he didn't think so, but he would not object, and the opposition was invalid, not to mention that the BOSS had never overturned.

Obviously, Luo Sheng is trying to drive industrial transformation with innovative technology and rise in the change.

Without dimensionality reduction, it is impossible to beat those century-old giant groups in the automotive industry.

Tesla is actually similar, but Tesla has not yet thought about the change of unmanned driving, and is only a new energy electric vehicle brand.

Yao Jianhong said: "Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo, I'm afraid the Cote d'Azur won't be able to come up with so much money." ”

In fact, the Cote d'Azur is not short of money now, and the current cash reserves are at least $40 billion, but the company also has a lot of places to use money, and is still fighting against Microsoft for subsidies, and it is losing $20 million or 30 million a day here.

There is also a large amount of R&D investment to use money, and in addition, to enter the foundationless automobile industry, the initial investment is destined to be a huge amount of money.

After a while, Yao Jianhong asked, "Do you want to issue $10 billion in corporate bonds ahead of schedule?" ”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng shook his head and said calmly: "No, enter this field, set up a joint venture company, Cote d'Azur investment, I personally have a sum of money, and if I pull a few VCs in, there will be more money, you can't do it alone to build cars, and you think I build cars to sell cars?" ”

The last sentence made Yao Jianhong puzzled, and when he looked at Luo Sheng, he found that the other party smiled mysteriously, obviously unwilling to say it.

Yao Jianhong asked simply and directly: "Then how much is the registered capital of this subsidiary?" ”

Luo Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "35 billion yuan." ”

Yao Jianhong smacked his lips secretly, billions of strokes can no longer satisfy the taste of BOSS, and now it is tens of billions at every turn, just rushing to the scale of this registered capital, he feels that BOSS is going to the goal of the industry giant.

Luo Sheng explained this matter to Yao Jianhong and left the company, and Lao Yao has been fooling around for a long time today, and has been speculating about what Luo Sheng said, making cars is not to sell cars, so what?

I can't figure this out even if I want to break my head.

……

The next day, Luo Sheng took his own special plane to the capital.

This new energy electric vehicle layout, definitely not as simple as it seems, this is an incomparably grand strategic plan, no country can not play, unless Luo Sheng just wants to be a successful new energy vehicle company, but this is obviously not what he said can be satisfied.

Luo Sheng's ambition is more than ten times greater than this.

After coming to the capital, Luo Sheng was not in a hurry to meet people, because all the people he wanted to see had not yet arrived, and Luo Sheng did not leave until the morning of the third day of coming to the capital.

The meeting took place at a closed-door secret meeting at the State Grid headquarters.

……

In the conference room, more than a dozen participants are bigwigs, including big leaders, senior researchers from strategic research institutes, national think tanks, and of course, the general manager of State Grid.

Luo Sheng was present, this closed-door meeting was actually held for him, and looking at the enterprise level across the country, I am afraid that only he can do this.

As Luo Sheng elaborated for half an hour, the big leaders at the meeting looked around with a smile and said: "New energy vehicles, unmanned driving, Comrade Luo Sheng is really playing high-tech, and the idea is extremely bold, but is the concept of unmanned driving reliable?" ”

The car is driving itself? Don't need to be driven? Several leaders at the meeting actually felt unreliable.

"It's just to build a car, whether it's human driving or unmanned, Comrade Luo Sheng, isn't it a bit of a fuss?" Another leader said calmly, if Luo Sheng made such a big move to get the big guys together, just to build a car company, to be honest, the leader would definitely be dissatisfied after he went back.

How big is it?

At this moment, Luo Sheng's next words made everyone in the audience unable to sit still.

"Leaders, what if I say that it is an opportunity to break the monopoly of petrodollar hegemony?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, everyone looked at each other, and after a while, a senior researcher from the Institute of Strategic Studies couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Luo, how do you say this?" ”

The petrodollar hegemony system allows the United States to collect "seigniorage" around the world, on the one hand, it denounces and hates it, and on the other hand, it dreams of becoming what it hates the most.

In the view of several national think tanks attending the meeting, Luo Sheng's sentence is unrealistic, and the hegemony of the petrodollar of the United States is supported by its unique military hegemony in the world, and it further has global financial hegemony, so the United States is the world hegemon.

Luo Sheng immediately took out the PPT presentation he specially prepared for the leaders, and operated the remote control in his hand to explain in simple terms to the leaders attending the meeting: "Leaders, I want to build electric cars, and I want to sell electric cars, but this is secondary, and even insignificant for the country." ”

Luo Sheng glanced at Mr. Liu of the State Grid, smiled and continued: "Selling cars is just to earn some pocket money for the national finance, and we are selling electricity is fundamental, which is also the biggest purpose of this seminar at the headquarters of the State Grid." ”

"What does this have to do with breaking the monopoly of petrodollar hegemony?" the leader said. ”

Luo Sheng smiled and explained methodically:

"Human beings are inseparable from oil resources, and human beings in modern society are also inseparable from electricity resources. When the national grid strategy realizes the global network, Eurasian network, and even the global network in turn, and undertakes more than two-thirds of the world's power generation, we have a monopoly on power resources. ”

"Wherever the boundaries of the national grid expand, I will build tens of thousands of electric vehicle charging stations, this is a vast infrastructure project, to ensure that electric vehicles can quickly reach a nearby charging station in a place where there is a highway to replenish the power of energy, the Côte d'Azur laboratory has been secretly developing new battery technology for fast charging."

"Graphene batteries are one of our main areas of expertise, and once this technology is realized, a ten-minute charge will allow an electric car to cover 500 kilometers. What will this mean? It means that the car can run all over the area of the national grid radiation, if the nationwide network is completed, the electric car can run all over the country, if it is Eurasia, you can drive all the way from Shencheng to Moscow and Paris, as long as we have charging stations along the highway to replenish. ”

"When the day comes when electric vehicles replace traditional fuel vehicles, when thousands of power supply stations are all over the place, when power resources replace fuel resources, electric vehicle brands are not important whether they are domestic brands, German brands, American brands, or South Korean brands, because their cars have to eat electricity to move, and electricity is ours, and power supply stations are ours, these two cards are double king fried."

"At that time, just wait for the time to be ripe, the so-called time is ripe is the day when our national strength goes up, and we will announce that we only recognize the RMB to settle electricity consumption, not other currencies, if you feel a little more radical, then it can also be like a relaxation point, with RMB settlement is about 30% cheaper than the US dollar settlement, once such a situation is realized, what kind of landscape will it be?"

"We don't expect to replace petrodollar hegemony with electricity resources, but once this strategy is realized, the foundation of petrodollar hegemony has been shaken.

"As long as we wait until the day when our comprehensive national strength, especially our military strength, can be compared with the United States, the electricity-linked renminbi will replace the oil-linked dollar in the world...... is an inevitable result. ”

With the end of Luo Sheng's speech, the conference room fell into a state of silence, Mr. Liu, who was in charge of the State Grid, couldn't help but hold his breath at the moment, the eyes of the leaders were all bursting with fine light, and the think tank commissioners attending the meeting were all dumbfounded.
