Chapter 1674: The Day After Tomorrow

Han Xuan really doesn't like gasoline-electric hybrid cars, which he thinks is a strange product.

Not to mention the nondescript for the time being, and it has also raised the price of the car by a large margin, except for the wealthy with a lot of money, no one will spend about 30 to 50 percent more money on the purchase of a car to buy a car with the same shape but with more electric functions.

In his previous life, before he was reborn, he had heard that many companies had launched such hybrid models, more like products made by car manufacturers who compromised with the market and consumers because of the limitations of the times and consumer perceptions.

I guess they didn't think about making money from them, they were purely hoarding manufacturing technology, and at that time they already expected that cars powered by fuel around 2035 would be eliminated.

In addition to oil, cleaner and more sustainable energy - electricity, is most likely to replace the existence of oil, and solar energy, nuclear energy and other automotive energy ideas, there is no real possibility of commercial use in the short term, the power generated by solar energy is insufficient, and the marketization of small nuclear energy is one of the big headaches for many scientists, which may not become a reality until the 22nd century.

What makes Han Xuan helpless is that he must now also compromise with consumers, trying to drum up an excessive product between "fuel vehicles" and "electric vehicles" "hybrid cars", so that cars with electricity as an energy source are more acceptable to consumers.

When he bought GM's ready-made electric car manufacturing technology and invested a lot of money in research and development, he thought that it would be difficult to sell it, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult, and he would already be stuck in a quagmire without the help of oil merchants and automakers.

The vast majority of people have a good impression of the Maserati electric car, and do not think that it is a low-end ordinary product, but it is difficult to attract consumers to buy it, and the "super charging stations" program throughout the United States only covers a few major cities, and then it is quickly stillborn.

Residents of Western countries have formed a fixed mindset that cars should have the roar of the engine, and at the same time rely on fuel to drive, even the vast majority of young people think that fuel cars are cooler and more in line with the tough guy image that men should have.

Since learning about this problem, Han Xuan found that he was too optimistic before, and after thinking about it, he turned his attention to many oil-poor countries in the world, such as some European countries, Japan, South Korea, and China.

Electric motorcycles are particularly popular in China, and their prices are lower than most motorcycles on the market today, and local officials are also cooperating to avoid some cumbersome tax items.

What's more, some big cities have begun to restrict motorcycles on the road, but there are no such restrictions for electric motorcycles, no license required, daily expenses are lower than using gasoline, and the range is enough to meet the travel requirements most of the time, which are two things that can attract consumers.

A similar situation occurred in Japan and South Korea, where the British did not have a good opinion of locomotives, and sales could only be said to be average, almost flat based on the same population.

To Han Xuan's surprise, Huaxia attaches great importance to electric vehicles, probably because it found that the domestic oil-producing areas are about to dry up and has to import a large number of foreign products, but it has been "blackmailed" by the Western power groups that have relied on several wars and controlled many oil-producing areas, so they have put on the substitute products of fuel vehicles, trying to increase the number of electric vehicles and reduce the use of fuel to a certain extent.

Nowadays, the number of cars in Huaxia is not high, but the consumption potential is surging every year, Han Xuan found out that Huaxia's welcoming attitude, immediately sent someone to communicate with the other party, successfully obtained the electric vehicle production license, and received a large number of preferential policies to be promulgated, including the exemption of purchase tax and import tax on some major accessories!

Of course, that is only a temporary exemption, according to the agreed temporary agreement, in five years all accessories must be produced in China, and within six years to add 100,000 jobs, Han Xuan willingly accepted the "overlord clause" that is not coercive, and the local production of accessories can reduce part of the manufacturing cost.

And 100,000 jobs, with the advantages of low-end prices of electric vehicles, high-end brands, and exemption from purchase tax, as long as the sales are good, it is not a very difficult thing, not to mention the increase of 100,000 jobs by cars.

People don't think that electric cars mean "low-end", but there are also difficulties, first of all, the appearance must be handsome and high-grade, the price is low at the same time, but also can not be ashamed of fuel vehicles, Han Xuan knows too much about the character of the good face of the Chinese people, many people think that "the mouth is hairless, the work is not firm", prefer to talk with adults, even if the boss of Huawei Ren Zhengfei was talking about business, the other party also asked whether it should be allowed to let the adults in the family come to discuss......

The new factory has not been built, the policy has not been promulgated, the electric car has no competitive advantage for the time being, and the results will not be known until next year, and the "soft power" such as advertising, repair personnel training, and sales channels has been put on the agenda.

This is an important project in Han Xuan's business plan, more important than companies with limited potential such as Hasbro and Starbucks, and he discussed with Executive Anthony all the way until he came to the door of Nvidia's production plant, and did not stop the topic.

Speaking of Nvidia, it was one of the first companies acquired by Snow Mountain Group, only a few days later than Blizzard Entertainment Group.

Blizzard's headquarters is in Irvine, and Nvidia originally did not have a decent headquarters building, after the construction of the four towers of Snow Mountain, the three founders got the right to use the five-story beta building, and now only the factory is still located on the original site.

At the beginning, it was next to the selected commercial land of the Snow Mountain Group, and Han Xuan accidentally heard about it before he started to buy it, and invested a lot of money to make Nvidia grow smoothly in this life and occupy half of the graphics processor field.

Today, Nvidia's market capitalization is as high as about $34 billion, and Han Xuan's shareholding ratio is as high as 36.1 percent......
