Chapter 830: Onslaught, Daystar Technology's Strange Mission

Daystar Technology made such a large order with special significance, and naturally it immediately became a variety of hot searches.

And the relevant departments of Huaxia were not idle at this time.

Soon, someone took the initiative to contact Daystar Technology to promote it as an important business cooperation project between Huaxia and Europe.

Now it is an intention to cooperate, and the relevant departments hope that they can also help to make this intention cooperation into a formal cooperation.

Just like the airlines in China ask Airbus to buy passenger planes, formal cooperation is often signed during important visits by both parties.

This time, the cooperation between Daystar Technology and the European Space Agency is also ready to be promoted by relevant departments.

For this help from relevant departments, Cao Yang is naturally happy to see it.

He is also worried that there will be some surprises in the future of this intention contract.

With the help of relevant departments to communicate with major countries such as France and Germany, the project will be implemented much faster.

"Ayang, after a while, there will be leaders from Huaxia to visit Europe, and the cooperation between Daystar Technology and the European Space Agency should be officially confirmed at that time."

"Maybe even the day after the cooperation is signed, Daystar Technology can use Daystar 9 to help the European Space Agency launch the first batch of Starlink satellites in the sky."

Fang Sisi's understanding of relevant departments is obviously deeper than Cao Yang's.

The company is bigger and stronger, and it is impossible for you not to deal with the relevant departments.

When some industry policies are introduced, people will consult your opinion.

"That's the best, but do I have to go with me?"

Over the years, Cao Yang has rarely gone abroad, and even the number of business trips has decreased.

However, if the signing ceremony is more grand this time, then it seems that it is a bit insufficient to just let Zhao Siyu, the general manager of Daystar Technology, come out.

After all, everyone knows who the real family of Daystar Technology is.

"It's better to go along!"

"There shouldn't be any worries about safety this time, after all, they all follow the relevant teams."

Fang Sisi naturally knew where Cao Yang's worries were.

A visit to a relevant department is definitely different from going abroad.

"Okay then, then it depends on the arrangements of all parties."

"However, Daystar Technology is in the limelight now, but I have to worry about whether the United States will make some moths out."

Cao Yang still has some understanding of the American style of doing things, and those people have no bottom line at all.

The cooperation between Daystar Technology and the European Space Agency is certainly not good for the United States, only bad.

The rapid development of China's aerospace industry is also something that the United States does not want to see.

"This is indeed the way, and the United States does not look down on us."

"Previously, companies such as Nanshan Carbon Fiber, Nanshan Special Steel and Nanshan Semiconductor were sanctioned, and maybe the next time it will be our Daystar Technology."

"However, all the parts of Daystar Technology have been localized, so I don't have to worry that there will be no way to produce them by then."

Fang Sisi is now a little immune to sanctions.

Over the years, Nanshan Group has encountered the most sanctions among Chinese enterprises.

It is very rare for a private enterprise to be sanctioned by the United States in such a sanction.

"The United States already has a Space Exploration Technology Corporation over there, and the possibility of the company over there asking us to launch a satellite is relatively low."

"Europe has its own ideas for the development of the space industry, and it may not completely listen to the United States."

"So if you sanction Daystar Technology this time, you really don't need to worry about it."

"I just don't know if those people will make a fuss when the time comes, and the moths we didn't expect will come out."

Cao Yang never dared to overestimate the bottom line of Americans.

They don't have a bottom line at all!

As long as there are interests, any bottom line can be broken, and any rules can be used to destroy.

This point, few people in China can see through it now.

……

Just when Daystar Technology was being discussed by the majority of Chinese netizens like a star enterprise, a special discussion was also being held within Qiantu Automobile.

"Mr. Lu, I think Xingchen Automobile's method of advertising on Qixing No. 9 MAX is very effective in enhancing brand awareness and influence."

"We can also consider starting from this aspect to see if we can completely increase our visibility and influence before the new car is launched."

Qin Lihong has been struggling with the publicity of the future car during this time.

Traditional propaganda programs, after spending a lot of money, are not very effective.

But if you use the experience propaganda technique, everyone doesn't know how effective it is.

And Heilan House and Xingchen Automobile brought him some inspiration, and wanted to find some entry points from rocket launches.

"There are advertisements for Heilan Home and Xingchen Automobile on Daystar No. 9 and Daystar No. 9 MAX respectively, and there is no place for us there."

"As for the aerospace science and technology side, it is estimated that they cannot accept advertising to the outside world."

"Even if it is acceptable, the number of launches in a year is a bit too low, and it is not as frequent as Daystar Technology."

Lu Bing felt that although Qin Lihong's proposal was very good, it was actually impossible to implement it.

In this way, this plan does not make much sense.

However, since Qin Lihong has put it forward, he must have some ideas of his own.

"There are really fewer opportunities to advertise on rockets."

"But we went one step further and made a fuss directly on the projectiles of the rocket, and directly launched our first Qiantu Q9 off the assembly line into space."

"This is something that no other car company has ever done, and if we do it, it will definitely have a very good publicity effect."

Qin Lihong directly proposed an earth-shattering plan, using a rocket to launch the products of the future car into space.

As soon as this gimmick comes out, it will definitely attract discussion from all people in the automotive industry, and it will also be able to get out of the circle.

At that time, with these gimmicks, the popularity of Qiantu Auto will definitely be able to rise sharply.

"The weight of our future Q9 has gone to two tons, and if we want to launch it into space, we must have to do some modifications, right?"

"At that time, it is possible that the weight will be heavier and the volume will be large, will it be able to launch successfully?"

Lu Bing was a little moved.

Qiantu Auto has raised relatively sufficient funds in the past year.

There is no problem at all in coming up with hundreds of millions of dollars to engage in propaganda.

The premise is that it can play its due publicity effect.

Don't spend the money, but the effect does not come out, it will affect the valuation of the future car.

"You can launch with Daystar 9!"

"They have just signed a contract of intent with the European Space Agency for 100 launches, which shows that they can cooperate with outside companies to provide various rocket launch services."

"Then it is theoretically no problem to launch our future Q9 into space."

As soon as Qin Lihong said this, Lu Bing was really interested.

He knows very well that if this idea can really be implemented, then Qiantu Auto will have a lot of exposure at home and even in the world, and its popularity will increase rapidly.

And this will give everyone a feeling that Qiantu Auto is a very high-end brand, and it can send its own car to space.

"The positioning of our Future Auto is a bit close to that of Future Auto, and Daystar Technology is the brother company of Future Auto."

"What if we communicate with Daystar Technology and the other party directly rejects us, and then turns around and offers this idea to the future car?"

Lv Bing founded Yiche.com before, and he has seen a lot of various struggles in the automobile industry.

All kinds of strange things that everyone thinks won't happen, but in fact anything is possible.

"Up to now, the various companies under the Nanshan Group have shown a very high level of ethics."

"As the largest private enterprise in China, they are like benchmarks."

"I don't think there's any need for the other party to ruin their reputation because of this idea."

"After all, although this idea is very valuable, it is not so valuable that it is more valuable than the reputation of Nanshan Group."

As soon as Qin Lihong explained this, Lu Bing couldn't help but nodded.

That's true.

It seems that I am a little too worried, and there is no need to use the mind of guarding against other companies on Daystar Technology.

"Then I'll contact Daystar Technology directly to see what the other party's attitude is."

"Our first prototype car has rolled off the assembly line and will be officially launched in the second half of the year."

"It's almost time to get the word out."

Lv Bing is going to communicate with Daystar Technology in person to see how he can persuade the other party to accept the cooperation plan of Qiantu Auto.

As for how much it will cost to realize this plan, Lu Bing doesn't particularly care.

After all, the amount of cooperation between Daystar Technology and the European Space Agency has spread, 100 launches, worth about 20 billion.

It is equivalent to the quotation of about 200 million for each launch.

Of course, this is a large-scale launch, and if it is a special single launch, maybe the price will be higher.

Lu Bing also knows this situation.

"Yes, Daystar 9 now has a launch mission every month, if we communicate in advance, maybe we will be able to send the future Q9 to the sky soon."

Seeing that Lu Bing agreed to his proposal, Qin Lihong was also quite looking forward to it.

At that time, Qiantu Auto will be a blockbuster, the valuation will rise rapidly, the sales of Qiantu Q9 will continue to increase, and his money/future will also be bright.

Even when the time comes, you can consider going public on the NASDAQ.

High-end financial freedom is just around the corner!

……

The future car moves quickly.

Zhao Siyu quickly received contact from Lu Bing.

Regarding Lu Bing's earth-shattering rocket launch mission, Zhao Siyu didn't know how to reply for a while.

So he made an excuse, saying that he wanted the technician to confirm whether he could complete such a task, and then called Zeng Tingting and came to Cao Yang's office together.

"Mr. Cao, Mr. Zeng, that's it for the launch of Qiantu Automobile."

"They are willing to spend a lot of money to send the first Qiantu Q9 into space."

After Zhao Siyu finished speaking, he looked at Cao Yang and Zeng Tingting, wanting to hear the opinions of the two of them.

Personally, he must have been interested in this project.

After all, such a special launch mission can definitely enhance the popularity of Daystar 9.

But he also knows that the group itself has so many car companies, and the models of this kind of own companies are not sent to space, but they are helping competitors launch new cars.

The trade-offs behind this are definitely something to consider.

Otherwise, he would not have called Zeng Tingting, the general manager of Future Automobile.

"This marketing plan of Qiantu Auto is very creative."

Zeng Tingting first affirmed the other party's creativity.

Nanshan Automobile Group has been able to develop so fast in recent years, which is also inseparable from the endless marketing ideas.

Otherwise, you are very technical, the engine and transmission are very good, and it is not natural that you will be able to gain a foothold in the luxury car market.

"Lu Bing does have a few brushes, and the first model of Qiantu Auto is a large SUV similar to the W9."

"With the popularity of large SUVs in the Huaxia automobile market, they can avoid the situation that their new models will be sold at a loss as soon as they are launched."

"As long as the sales volume increases, it will soon be profitable, so that it will be listed on the NASDAQ smoothly."

Cao Yang is obviously quite optimistic about the prospects of Qiantu Automobile.

Perhaps it is the future car that has set a good example for everyone, and now these new Internet car manufacturers have chosen SUVs as their first models.

Many of them are even aiming at large SUVs.

In terms of production cost alone, if the equipment is the same, the development cost of a larger SUV and a smaller SUV is almost exactly the same.

The cost of purchasing parts is also very small, and the cost of less than 10,000 yuan can turn a mid-size SUV into a large SUV.

The difference between this size can directly reflect the difference of almost 100,000 yuan or even greater in the price.

As a result, the profit pressure of car companies that produce large SUVs is much less.

Why is the ideal of later generations the first model to achieve profitability among the new car-making forces?

The main reason is that their main models are large SUVs.

If you change to a few cars, regardless of whether it is an extended-range electric vehicle or a pure electric vehicle, it is likely to be cool.

Cao Yang definitely saw this very thoroughly.

Therefore, Future Auto has launched three models in one go, all of which are SUV models.

It will not be until this year that its first sedan will be launched.

And Cao Yang does not plan to let the future car produce too many cars, just directly produce a high-end car with a length of more than 5 meters.

Anyway, just like the analysis just now, if you produce a 4.5-meter car and a 5.2-meter car, with the same equipment, the cost difference is less than 10,000, but the price difference is more than 100,000.

At that time, the future car's sedan will sell for more than 500,000 yuan, and it can compete with the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S.

"Mr. Cao, Mr. Zeng, if the positioning of Qiantu Auto is close to that of Future Automobile, then we can only refuse their cooperation this time?"

Zhao Siyu directly said his entanglement.

After all, the development of Daystar Technology must also take into account the situation of brother enterprises.

"Launching a car into space is actually space junk."

"Although the publicity is very effective, it is also easy to be criticized."

"The car of the future has now been developed, and there is no need to take this risky propaganda route."

"As for whether the future car will pose a threat to the future car, I am not particularly worried."

"Whether it is in the three electric parts, or in intelligence and networking, we are a comprehensive leader."

"So there's no need to worry about their competition at all."

Zeng Tingting expressed her views clearly.

She didn't want Daystar Technology to give up the big order of rocket launch in order to take care of the idea of future cars.

As a brother company, Zeng Tingting also learned about the industry situation of Daystar Technology.

It is not easy to get a commercial rocket launch project.

For example, on the aerospace science and technology side, I don't encounter similar projects a few times a year.

If Daystar Technology rejects Qiantu Auto, maybe the other party will go to other institutions to cooperate.

This is definitely a significant loss for Daystar Technology.

After all, although Daystar 9 has been launched many times, it mainly serves the Starlink project.

There are still very few commercial projects that really accept outside.

And for a company to grow and grow, it must not be supported by all internal projects.

To be able to fully blossom, whether it is from the perspective of publicity or the actual development of the company, it is more meaningful.

"There's really no need to worry too much about the future of the car."

"In the past two years, I haven't put too much energy into the future of automobiles, because the electric vehicle industry is still in its infancy, and it is not time for us to fully exert our strength."

"If we work hard in the future, it's easy to leave other competitors behind."

"This time, Qiantu Auto took the initiative to come to the door to cooperate, and we must do such a business."

"Otherwise, after this information spreads in the future, it will be very bad for the reputation of Daystar Technology, and even for the reputation of the entire Nanshan enterprise."

Cao Yang thought about something more.

No matter from which point of view, this cooperation can be carried out.

Historically, it was Musco who used the Starship Heavy rocket to send his own car into space.

Now this first position is given to Qiantu Automobile, which is obviously better than leaving it to Tesla.

Anyway, Daystar Technology is not helping people launch cars into the sky for free.

With Cao Yang's instructions, Zhao Siyu can naturally do things boldly with confidence.

Soon, he officially communicated with Lu Bing.

The two CEOs determined the general direction of cooperation, and the price was also unprecedented, allowing Qiantu Auto to enjoy the treatment of a major customer of the European Space Agency.

This time, it launched the Qiantu Q9 for Qiantu Automobile, and only received 200 million yuan.

For the quotation of Daystar Technology, Qiantu Auto is also quite satisfied.

Soon, they transported the future Q9 to Yangcheng.

The technicians on the side of Daystar Technology will combine the situation of Q9 and the situation of Daystar 9 to make some pre-launch preparations.

Of course, the more important future car side will hold a joint press conference with Daystar Technology.

In order to make its 200 million dollars worthwhile, Qiantu Auto made the scale of this press conference quite large.

The mainstream domestic automotive media have been invited.

Therefore, without waiting for the official start of the press conference, the news that Qiantu Auto will cooperate with Daystar Technology to launch the first car into space has spread in the Huaxia automotive industry.

"Editor-in-Chief Fang, this Daystar Technology is also quite interesting, and it is actually mixed with Qiantu Automobile."

"When did the internal management of the Nanshan Group become so chaotic?"

On the NetEase Auto Channel, it was natural that he also received an invitation from Qiantu Auto to attend this special press conference.

Although the bag contained an envelope of at least 2,000 yuan for carriage and horse expenses given by Qiantu Automobile, this did not affect Lin Jiayan to complain about this cooperation there.

"The enterprises of the Nanshan system can develop to today's scale, and the internal management will definitely not be chaotic to this extent."

"Don't look at the promotional advertorials of Qiantu Auto itself, I always hope to compare the Q9 with the W9 of the future car, as if my product is really as strong as the future car, or even better."

"But the gap between them actually exists objectively, and it is not so easy to break through."

"The battery of the future car uses Guoxuan Hi-Tech, and the future car uses the Nanshan battery.

"As for intelligent driving, the gap is even greater."

"I heard that there are more than 10,000 technicians in the intelligent network center of Nanshan Automobile Group to engage in various technical research related to intelligent driving, but what about Qiantu Auto?"

"They just bought some parts from Bosch and Continental and assembled them on their Q9."

"The technical gap in it is definitely very large, and it cannot be bridged by relying on publicity."

As soon as Fang Dawen said this, Lin Jiayan immediately reacted, she might have guessed wrong.

"So this time the cooperation between Qiantu Auto and Daystar Technology is not because the internal management of Nanshan is chaotic, but because people in the future of the car don't care about this cooperation, and they are not afraid that Qiantu Auto will rely on these gimmicks to surpass them?"

Lin Jiayan's judgment this time is obviously relatively close to the truth.

However, Fang Dawen did not continue to discuss this topic with her.

Because he has already seen Lu Bing of Qiantu Automobile and Zhao Siyu of Daystar Technology appear.

Today's press conference will begin in earnest soon.

This is certainly not the time to chat.
