Luo Sheng's private office.

"Master, the video conference is ready, and the connection will start in 7 minutes."

Cortana's voice responded, and at this moment, Qingxue Mei, whose face was red, had already sorted herself out, and then packed up some things and took them out of the office.

A few minutes later, Luo Sheng looked at the 4K high-definition giant screen wall opposite the wall, Xiao Na immediately turned on the image, and Yao Jianhong and other core executives from the Cote d'Azur appeared on the screen.

The video conference began.

"Now the entire automotive industry is surging, and friends have come to seek cooperation."

Yao Jianhong in one of the one-frame videos said with a smile, and the whole meeting seemed quite relaxed.

Another executive said with a smile: "Our survey found that more and more new energy vehicle brands have been established recently, which has also brought capital to the market, and many new car manufacturers have already received Series A financing." ”

The whole industry is heating up, and the Cote d'Azur develops technology patents and gives them back in vain, which gives many entrepreneurs the opportunity to tell stories to VCs, and stand in line with the Cote d'Azur to use the open technology of the Cote d'Azur to get up quickly, and only the injection of capital can sing a good show.

Financing has become extremely smooth, we all know that the entire automotive industry is about to usher in a major reshuffle, this is the general trend, whether it is interested in development, fishing in troubled waters, in short, more and more capital parties want to get a piece of the pie.

"We have to increase our efforts and speed up the bombshell, which will bring short-term industry panic and turmoil to help us quickly lay the overall situation." Luo Sheng looked at the core executives on the video screen: "The technical standards of the supercharging station are independent of other standards, that is, all the supercharging stations built by us are free to use for 20 years. ”

This trick is the most ruthless means.

It is to use the thinking of doing Internet ecology in the field of pure electric automobile industry, every pure electric car is equivalent to an Internet user, as long as you catch the user, you are not afraid of no profit harvest.

For fuel vehicles, fuel is a necessity for the vehicle to drive, so fuel sales are more staggering than car sales.

The same is true for pure electric vehicles, electricity is the necessities of their normal use, and it is foreseeable that with the continuous increase in ownership, charging services will inevitably be a richer and more lasting source of income, and can even be used as a "money printing machine" to describe the speed at which this business creates profits.

Faced with this lucrative business, the Cote d'Azur has made such an astonishing decision to make all its Superchargers available to car owners for free, which will surely become a huge "magnet" for consumers to choose Azure electric vehicles or models within this ecosystem.

This service is free of charge not only for electric vehicles on the Côte d'Azur, but also for other electric vehicles that meet its charging technology standards.

However, it is not unconditional for other brands to enjoy it, and if other brands want to use or build the same Supercharger, they must fully adopt the technical standards of the Côte d'Azur without paying or charging.

This seemingly attractive "overlord clause" is actually very reasonable, although other brand manufacturers even have to build charging stations one step ahead of the Cote d'Azur, but the technical system, technical content and scale can not compete with the Cote d'Azur, especially the scale, simply put, the money is not enough, but Luo Sheng has money to smash to death, which is an unparalleled late-mover advantage.

For other manufacturers, it is necessary to take into account the super killer trick of free charging of charging piles on the Cte d'Azur, which is irresistible for consumers, and 20 years of free charging can almost drive the car to the end of its life.

Other brands also have to pay a charging fee, which is a way for consumers to vote with their feet.

Coupled with the high cost of building charging stations, it is very likely that other manufacturers and brands will not be able to survive head-on competition with a strong competitor like the Cote d'Azur compared to spending years and spending a lot of money on their own.

It is obviously much more cost-effective to directly join the other party's system and use the charging platform of the Côte d'Azur, and there is no need to bear the risk.

Many newly established brands do not need to spend a lot of energy and money to build infrastructure, as long as the car is built to sell, and the Cote d'Azur has opened up technology patents for free, all of which greatly reduce the entry threshold for new car manufacturers, and new brands will further spring up.

This is also the situation that Luo Sheng wants to see.

Of course, in the short term, it will definitely be a situation of demons dancing, and any messy brands will emerge, which is an inevitable result, but it will not last long, the market will eventually eliminate a large number of them, and at the same time, the really powerful brands will survive.

Secondly, the current super charging pile laying strategy of the Cote d'Azur has more and more obvious advantages in terms of quantity and distribution, and what is more attractive is that it does not charge any fees, which will attract a large number of consumers to buy blue pure electric vehicles, and after the market has reached a certain level, it will inevitably form a strong scale market competitive advantage.

As a result, the more widely used technical standards on the Côte d'Azur and the greater the number of consumers, the quicker they will be able to raise enough "chips" to negotiate the market and enter any regional market they want to enter.

That is, globalization!

This is all a strategy, and you have never thought about hiding it, it is a strategy that is placed on the surface, but you have no choice.

……

An hour after the meeting, Yao Jianhong held another press conference to announce the latest news to the outside world.

Côte d'Azur has announced that it is willing to share its Supercharger network, but on the condition that other manufacturers' electric vehicles meet the criteria for Superchargers and accept the disruptive business model of Criviera that does not charge car owners for charging.

A piece of news that is no less than a "nuclear bomb" for the whole industry has blown all its peers to the outside.

In the past half a month, the Cote d'Azur has "selflessly" dedicated the results of the huge amount of R&D funds that have been smashed over the years, giving the outside world the feeling that it is a crazy "white give" series.

And this time, a new round of super free strategy was announced, which not only caused a new earthquake in the whole industry, but also made crazy fans on all consumers.

Consumers don't care about the game between these large groups, they only know that this wave of operation on the Cote d'Azur is good for all pure electric car owners, and they thought that giving up traditional fuel vehicles and choosing pure electric vehicles can save two-thirds of the fuel cost.

Come on, Luo Sheng's operation directly exempted all the electricity bills, and it is conceivable how fierce the stimulation of the consumer market is.

Major car owners are communicating and discussing this matter online.

As a result, the pre-sales of Azure pure electric vehicles suddenly soared, and the day after the news was announced, the pre-sales of the first-generation Azure pure electric vehicles exceeded 30,000 units on the same day.

You must know that Toyota, which is currently the world's No. 1 in sales, has an average daily sales of 30,000 units, and the blue pure electric car has created this data myth or pre-sale.

Interestingly, scalpers and futures speculators are afraid at this time and dare not play.

At this time, I dare to play either stupidly or really come to send money, but anyone with a little brain will think that the Cote d'Azur is now throwing a bombshell news out every three or five days, and it is all bad news, and the ghost knows what will come next.

……

"Mr. Luo, the move of exempting charging fees for 20 years is really an unprecedented feat, and now the number of vehicles is small, but once the ecology is gradually formed, it will inevitably bring a strong financial load, and the daily power consumption of thousands of cars is a rather terrifying scale, can we raise it?"

In Luo Sheng's office, Yao Jianhong said his long-term worries at this moment, and he will be in a state of serious losses for a long time in the future.

"The data monopoly brought about by the 'Internet of Everything' represents endless wealth, and the data analysis and cloud computing services brought by the ecosystem are the foundation for generating a steady stream of money." Luo Sheng said calmly: "I cooperate with the State Grid, free charging for car owners has long been discussed, we only pay 20% of the electricity bill to the State Grid on the line, the State Grid has a national backing, this is not a pure commercial project, this is the country's new infrastructure' project prospects, handed over to me to do the terminal." ”

"This ...... I see. Yao Jianhong was shocked, it was the first time he had heard the term "new infrastructure", and he suddenly realized that this game of chess was bigger than he imagined, and what he knew was only the tip of the iceberg.

Luo Sheng added: "What we have to do is how to hedge the remaining 20% of the electricity bill, once the number of pure electric vehicles comes up, the scale of more than 100 million in the future, this 20% is also a heavy financial burden, we do not have national financial subsidies, so we have to start from the field of renewable energy, which is also the invisible hand of the country's macro-control is driving us to develop and create a positive cycle of renewable energy." ”

Yao Jianhong nodded and said: "I see, I said why do you have to leave 20% of the burden to us, the country is the country in the end, and the overall situation is invisible and powerful." ”

The reason why the state vigorously supports super-large private enterprises such as the Cote d'Azur to show their skills in the terminal is not blindly all-in, and the root cause of all "electricity" is always in the hands of the State Grid Corporation, and this is the "national team" firmly controlled.

Electricity is the source, and this section does not let the Côte d'Azur get involved.

Of course, Luo Sheng also knows what it means to stop in moderation, even if this kind of business is really handed over to him to do, he will not take it unless his brain is wat.

Too hot.

"But Mr. Luo, in this way, the production capacity has become an unsolvable problem, and it is still a top priority that must be solved." Yao Jianhong changed the topic and said: "Now that there is such a gold-swallowing monster as charging for free, I am really worried about whether our funds can hold up." ”

The current layout is spread out on a large scale, and the real involvement will affect the whole body, and another point will be shaken, and you must solve it, otherwise it will bring other shocks.

Production capacity is always a headache now, and it takes time for friends to join, but the daily capital consumption will not stop, and the operating costs brought by the delay are astronomical expenses every day, so we can't wait, we have to let more pure electric cars run on the road as soon as possible.

"You don't have to worry about that, the 10 new gigafactories will be completed immediately and will be ready for mass production in 2016." Luo Sheng said with a smile.

"Ten? Where does the money come from? Yao Jianhong looked at the boss in shock when he heard this, ten super factories added 20 new production lines, and the investment cost of ten super factories alone is 300 billion yuan, and the second attached supporting facilities add up to the rhythm of trillions.

I can't take out so much money now after selling the bottoms of the Cote d'Azur, and it is not possible to borrow funds from the Bluestar Technology Group, this kind of leverage risk is to burst the rhythm of the table, and it will not collapse completely, and then it will really depend on the state to save lives, and the country will definitely not let these two companies go bankrupt, and if they don't do well, they will lose control of the company.

Luo Sheng said calmly: "Do you remember Zhong Yuanhong from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office? We have communicated that ten super factories will be landed in the ten major coastal cities, with the local state-owned assets office as a shareholder, and the local government will provide zero-interest loans and land transfers, simply put, we don't have to pay a penny, and the annual output of pure electric vehicles on the Cote d'Azur will reach more than 3.4 million units after 2016. ”
