Chapter Twenty-Seven: What Was It Like to Negotiate with Iron Man?
The Huiyi consortium wanted to make peace with dignity, but Xu Ji didn't want to help at all. He felt that Ou Mingshan still had unrealistic ideas now, and whether he could agree to this matter or not depended on Wei Lai.
Xu Ji chuckled: "It seems that Lao Ou, you still like this set very much." However, in many cases, doing things is not just based on relationships, but can be decided by calculating strength on paper. In the face of the general trend, in the face of a higher Yangmou layout, the old things in the past will not work. ”
"Alright, let's catch a fish. Soon, you should be able to get the news too. Xu Ji paused, and then said, "Since you have decided the time to start the war. When, and under what conditions, the end of the war will be decided, and that will be the power of Welai. ”
Ou Mingshan exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and simply coped with a few words, but he did not stay in the Xu family manor to eat.
He came to reconcile this time because he had received bad signals from official channels.
However, Ou Mingshan never expected that he wanted to come over to sue for peace with a cheeky old face, but his son's next unauthorized move made him in a dilemma.
......
The Peninsula Xiangcheng.
A grand American-style praty was held, but everyone knew that this was a welcome party prepared by Musk for Wei Lai alone.
When the hustle and bustle stopped a little, Wei Lai and Musk walked to the balcony and sat down, looking at each other carefully.
Musk looked at the young man in front of him who had already started a successful business before he was thirty years old and was still young, and he was envious and very interested.
And Wei Lai is also very curious about the famous Iron Man.
In comparison, Musk, who is 44 years old this year, seems to be about to go through vicissitudes.
Today's Musk was very happy, and as soon as he sat down, he took a sample of a Lingyuan battery in his hand, and said with a smile: "The purpose of your coming to see me, I already know it in the email." This gift is a nice one, I love it. You're also very creative in the way you came, and you're a really cool young man. ”
"Thank you. Before Wei Lai had time to be polite, he saw Musk interrupt the polite words he wanted to continue to say and said bluntly.
"So, just for the sake of your personal flying machine, I decided: if your price is the same as the sincerity of your come, I will buy your Lingyuan battery. Remember to give me a little more of the highest energy density version, your battery I know, there is still a lot of space. I'm going to be a real Iron Man. Musk said with a laugh.
Don't forget, isn't Iron Man the one who can fly in the sky in steel armor? .
Wei Lai paused a little and said with a smile: "No problem. If you like, I'll give you a new personal flight suit. But whether it's a flight suit or a high-energy-density battery, these are just lab-grade products. They have not been thoroughly tested in a thorough manner, and everything should be used on a safe premise. ”
"Rest assured, the place where I experimented was safe enough. Wei, just call me Musk. Flight suit? You don't call it a flying machine? Do you think that his flight function is only attached to the body of the suit? and not a separate flying machine?" Musk keenly captured the key point.
"It's true, a flight suit that's too cumbersome is not what I want. However, these are not the key points today, in fact, the mass production of personal flight suits may not be able to solve the problem in three or five years. The key point today is our battery contract. After adapting to Musk's directness, Wei Lai turned the topic around.
"No problem. Musk nodded: "I said, as long as your price is low enough, it's not a problem." ”
"But it's a pity that my price will be higher than the price given by Panasonic. Wei Lai said sincerely.
"Oh?" Musk gave Wei Lai a serious look: "WHY?"
"I have to warn you. My next stop was South Korea, where LG Chem gave us enough sincerity. Their prices are as low as you might think. And their products are also world-class products. Musk said.
Musk is right. In fact, if we continue to follow the current trajectory, LG Chem will indeed become Tesla's new battery supplier in the end.
"Lingyuan battery is a super product. Our products have gained an undeniable lead. ”
"Whether it's the sample given to Tesla, or the amazing energy in this flight suit I'm wearing today, it's proven that this is a great product that can change the world. ”
"Even in the lowest grade, the Lingyuan battery is still a superstar with an energy density of 300Wh/kg, whether it is Panasonic or LG or any manufacturer in the world, they will not be able to reach this number for at least two years. ”
"A high energy density power battery is not just about improving battery life. Compared with all today's power batteries, they are forcing electric vehicles to increase the weight of the body to improve the range, so that the driving experience of electric vehicles cannot match the strong advantages of electric motors. ”
"And now, all these headaches are solved by a single decision: buy a Lingyuan battery. ”
"As long as you buy Lingyuan batteries, all of Tesla's electric vehicles will be 30% lighter, but the range can be improved by at least 30%, and the speed will set a record again. What a wonderful choice. ”
Musk certainly knows this.
This is unquestionable hard power.
NOT TO MENTION PANASONIC, WHICH IS ALREADY A LITTLE SLACK, EVEN THE MOST ACTIVE LG CHEM, THEIR MASS PRODUCTION OF POWER BATTERIES IN 2019 ONLY REACHED 260WH/KG. As for now, it's even lower.
"OKOK, you're right. Wei, you're a good orator. But you should do your homework, at Tesla, we sell one at a loss. Because we are faced with a very dilemma and a dangerous situation. ”
"From the batteries you're most familiar with. On the one hand, we have insufficient battery capacity, which limits our ability to expand capacity. On the other hand, in the face of current cost control, even if the battery production capacity is solved by you, we still can't simply expand the production capacity, because this will continue to cause our losses to expand. ”
"What's more, your battery is more expensive than Panasonic, which will exacerbate our losses. ”
"Yes, that's right. So, I have a better way to solve all the problems that Tesla is having at the moment. Wei Lai said in his heart, the play meat is coming.
"Musk, listen carefully, it's going to be a very good ending. ”
"Next, I'm going to throw out a wonderful plan that makes us both win-win. Once this plan is implemented, all the problems you just mentioned: cost, price, capacity, profitability, and even the problems that you haven't even spoken about will be solved. ”
Wei Lai said very instigantly, and said silently in his heart: Similarly, Zhilai Technology will also take advantage of the situation and become a real industry giant and a big man.
