Although Lu Zhou didn't think that the name "Lei Gong" system was much better than the one he thought, for the sake of the scientific research dogs in the entire laboratory nodding in agreement, this matter was still settled.

Anyway, even if this system is developed, it will not be put into use immediately, and there is still enough time to think about the name or something.

As for when the card will be played......

At least, we have to wait until the "Longteng" chip is born, right?

At the same time, just as the popularity of beep charging continues to escalate and the number of downloads continues to grow, this emerging charging pile company has finally attracted the attention of Evgo, a friend who is also developing the Shanghai market.

Because it is a high-end atmosphere and high-grade "forced strategy", Tesla Huaxia Branch Company did not carry out overwhelming marketing and publicity on the Internet, but directly took Tesla's brand to negotiate with major shopping malls, and then reached an agreement with brand advantages to pave their charging piles at a very low price.

As Beavis predicted, almost no mall would turn down a charging station with the Tesla logo on it, just as no mall would turn down a Chanel counter.

For this kind of big brand that can improve the forced style and foot flow of the business district, even if it is introduced at a loss, it is definitely not a loss.

It's just that what Beavis didn't expect was that in the parking lot of the Yida Plaza, there was clearly a charging pile for Tesla's Evgo not far away, but instead of anyone going over to watch and take pictures, even the limelight was completely snatched away by the beep charging controlled by Star Technology......

Although this situation did not frustrate him, it still made him feel a lot of vigilance in his heart, and immediately reported the matter to Mr. Musk, the CEO of the head office.

“…… At present, we still maintain an absolute advantage in the coverage of major business districts in Shanghai, but the name "Beep Charging ......, which is expanding", sounds a little strange and even awkward, so that Beaves paused before continuing, "This charging pile company controlled by Star Technology is following our footsteps." If we keep them on the current trend, it will only take half a year for them to catch up with us in terms of coverage. ”

"My suggestion is to sign an exclusive agreement with all the large and medium-sized shopping malls that cooperate with us, and introduce our charging piles, we must refuse other charging pile companies to obtain exclusive parking spaces in the parking lot, or at least increase their entry threshold and cost!"

After listening carefully to Beavis's report, Musk on the other end of the phone pondered for a while, then smiled and said.

"We can't do that."

Bivis, who was holding the phone, was slightly stunned.

"Why?"

Musk smiled and said in a relaxed tone.

"I'm sure you've learned that the person in charge of the company is a master who is good at using Internet tools for marketing. If you sign an exclusive agreement with a shopping mall opened by a Chinese to refuse the entry of other Chinese charging pile companies, whether you use technical secrecy or any other reason, you will be labeled with a special label, and under the pressure of public opinion, the shopping mall will definitely come forward to terminate the contract. ”

"Because if they don't do this, even if the relevant departments in China don't invite them to talk, the Chinese consumers whose people's nationalism/righteousness are mobilized will bring us and our partners a lot of trouble."

Beavis frowned, "Are we just watching them develop like this?" While I'm not optimistic about their business model, if we let this spoiler continue to mess with it, it will have an impact on our business—"

"I know, dear Mr. Beavis," interrupted Musk as Musk continued, "I never said that I would let them go, but that the strategy of restricting their development should be adjusted." ”

Hearing the boss's words, Beavis quieted down and waited quietly for him to continue.

"We now have more than 85% coverage of EVGO in Shanghai, not to mention that we have reached a cooperation agreement with Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and other five car companies that do not plan to develop their own charging pile business for the time being, but have new energy plans, and we will equip each EVGO charging pile with a charging line that exactly matches our partner's interface, and as an exchange ......."

“…… Our Evgo will be their only officially recognized charging pile company in China! ”

Hearing this, Beavis's eyes gradually brightened.

Worthy of the boss!

It's really high......

If this is added later, if the battery fails due to charging on other charging piles, the company will not be responsible for the accident......

And regardless of whether there is a relationship with the car company after the 4S store, and whether Evgo's charging pile is better than the charging pile of other companies, or even if this sentence is just added by chasing the wind, it is enough to have a psychological hint to consumers, prompting them to look for Evgo's charging pile all over the street.

In contrast, what network marketing, what wireless charging gimmick, are like children's tricks.

People will choose wireless charging for convenience, and will run to register members because of gimmicks, but you expect those car owners to joke about life safety and sloppy about the service life of the battery?

It's just naïve!

It's a pattern!

Beavis took a deep breath and said, "I know what to do." ”

"It's good that you know," Musk nodded with a smile and continued to speak, "There is no need for us to sign any exclusivity agreements with Chinese companies, we can completely carry out what you call 'exclusivity' on the sidelines of irrelevance...... Of course, I won't admit it, it's not exclusive, it's just a strategy based on security considerations. ”

Although this obviously exclusive agreement, as well as the act of uniting upstream industries to suppress downstream service industries, is suspected of violating anti-monopoly regulations and the spirit of free trade.

But how can there be so much fairness in business?

Musk doesn't intend to let them go because Bibi Charging is just a small company with only 10 million in financing, and he will put 120 percent of his strength into competing with them until they declare bankruptcy protection......

The reason is simple.

He could see the man's shadow from behind the company.

He will never forget the Waterloo he encountered in the field of astronautics......

I will definitely not allow myself to lose this war because I take it lightly!

"By the way, our goal is the entire Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, not just this one-third of an acre in Shanghai, remember what I said to you when I came to China last time? In the future, the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration will become the pearl of the entire Western Pacific, and we can't stop them, but we can share the fruits of them. ”

"Three days later, a distinguished client will visit you, and if things are optimistic, we can get at least a billion dollars in financing to help us with this ambitious plan."

"Work hard, I'll leave this matter to you!"

Listening to the boss's instructions, Beavis, who was holding the phone, nodded solemnly.

"I see!"

……

Jinling.

The Office of the Dean of the Institute for Advanced Study.

In the past, when talking about some important things, Lu Zhou would choose the location here.

One is clean, and the other is that there is no concern about leaking secrets.

If it was in the office of the Golden University Academy, there were some things he really didn't dare to casually put on the table and talk nonsense.

At this moment, Chen Yushan, who was sitting on the only sofa in the office, took a sip of the tea in the cup, and after putting down the teacup, she looked at Lu Zhou who was sitting behind the desk and said with a smile.

"Tesla has already made a move, and reliable sources say that their people are in contact with the Volkswagen Group, and if they succeed, they will probably issue a statement similar to an official certification, designating Evgo as the officially recommended charging station brand."

Stopping the pen in his hand, Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully.

"You guessed it again."

Chen Yushan: "There is no such thing as guessing or not guessing, this is an inevitable thing. Seeking help from the sidelines is the most efficient course of action, and as long as they can control the power output ports of the entire Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, the deal is not a loss compared to the negligible risk of an antitrust investigation. ”

The cost of an antitrust investigation certainly cannot be said to be insignificant.

But if you can stand in a monopoly position, no matter how high the fine is, you can earn it back from the consumers in Huaguo.

What's more, it is just a statement of officially designated charging piles, and the probability of being characterized as a monopoly is very low......

Although she doesn't particularly understand business matters, Lu Zhou is still very curious about how she will break through this dilemma that has transcended technical problems and even the market itself.

"And what are you going to do?"

Hearing this somewhat curious inquiry, Chen Yushan curled the corners of her lips slightly.

"Didn't I tell you two months ago? I'm ready for the next big game. ”

Lu Zhou said speechlessly: "...... Is this chess still playing? ”

If she didn't mention it, she would have forgotten about it.

Anyway, it's been two months, why do you have to play chess for so long......

"It's over."

Gently flicking the light fluttering sideburns in her ears, the smug smile on Chen Yushan's face did not change, and continued.

"Now, I'm going to treat you to a good show."
