Chapter 549 Mercedes-Benz W08, all parties change (4k two-in-one)
At this moment when they were eating, public opinion began to ferment in the evening, and the youngest billionaire in China has always been a dragon who has never seen the end, and all the interview invitations sent out have been rejected, so people who are interested in him can only learn about him from fragmented information on the Internet.
It was with this understanding that they knew that Xia Yu started from catering, and now they will be shocked how he has something to do with new energy.
"Decrypted, through the information found by XX, Jierui Power completed the change of corporate property rights in February, which is controlled by Xia Yu personally, that is to say, he reached a cooperation with Mercedes-Benz one month after winning Jierui Power. ”
At this time, the fight is who is fast, and with the joint efforts of the media and netizens, the ins and outs of the whole thing have become clear.
In December 18, Xia Yu went to magnesium with the magnesium country Silicon Valley business delegation, accompanied by Chinese entrepreneurs in the field of science and technology led by Wang Tao of DJI.
At the beginning of February 19, "The Wandering Earth", which Xia Yu participated in investing, was released during the Spring Festival and has won 5.8 billion box office so far, surpassing the box office record set by "Wolf Warrior 2" in 17 years.
At the end of February 19, Xia Yu completed the wholly-owned acquisition of Jierui Power, and began to contact as early as the year before.
In March 19, Xia Yu reached a cooperation intention with Mercedes-Benz, and the president of Mercedes-Benz's parent company visited China in the second half of the year.
Based on the timeline, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xia Yu has long intended to enter the field of science and technology, this is nothing, there are more people who want to eat this cake, but why can he succeed?
Jierui power related information is also available on the Internet, this is the local small enterprises in the home magic capital, the main business in the past is to OEM power batteries for miscellaneous unmanned homes, not to mention compared with the Ningde era, it can also rank among the top ten in the city, the top 50 in the country are dangerous, why should Mercedes-Benz cooperate with it.
This is something that everyone can't figure out, after all, Xia Yu's acquisition of Jierui Power is too short, as short as just over a month, so that it can turn decay into magic!
Some people think that Mercedes-Benz pills, the previous gas leak has just been solved, and now they have stepped on a big thunder, and they are afraid that they are not far from bankruptcy and acquisition.
Kang Linsong, who was worried about the fate of the company, didn't know it, and after dinner, he followed Xia Yu to the headquarters in Xintiandi.
Visiting Xia's catering is just incidental, Xia Yu really wants to show Lao Kang his own collection.
"This office building has five floors, not counting the basement, the first floor is the head office of one of my restaurant chains, the fourth and fifth floors are the company's office space, and the second and third floors are my little collection. ”
Zeppelin drove straight into the basement, and Xia Yu introduced to Kang Linsong in the car.
"That's Zetros?"
Lao Kang saw the off-road RV with sharp eyes.
"Mr. Kang Linsong, whether it is 4×4, 6×6, or 8×8, we call it Unimog (Unimog), which is so simple and easy to remember. ”
"So that's the case, then it's also Mr. Xia's collection?"
"That's right, it's a little bigger, and I'll have to park it in the basement. ”
Where else can you park without stopping in the basement?
Kang Linsong was a little puzzled, and then he saw the answer.
If you want to say that you are dumbfounded, you are also shocked by the scene in front of you.
Cars, all cars, from the cheapest Citroen Sega to the most expensive Lamborghini poison, swept through several exhibition halls at a glance, Kang Linsong was dazzled.
That's Bugatti, there are actually four of them, two generations of mass production, one generation of limited tribute editions, and one generation of limited tribute editions of the car.
"Mr. Xia, your collection is too rich. ”
Kang Linsong turned to Xia Yu and said, almost all the cars here are high-quality products, and the price is definitely over 100 million, or euros.
"Everywhere, my collection of cars is still relatively short, and for the time being, it is only in the stage of meeting the eyes, and many cars are not familiar with the history behind them. ”
Xia Yu said modestly, except for a few specific cars that he was familiar with, he really bought them because he thought they were good-looking, and then they were given by the system.
Not to mention anything else, Mercedes-Benz and Bugatti's pits were all brought to him by the system, in addition to a few sent, he bought a lot of them in the future.
"As long as you have the strength, you shouldn't let go of a good car that is pleasing to the eye, and you can slowly understand what is behind it, and there will be no missed opportunities. ”
Kang Linsong is also a car lover, and he told Xia Yu some of his experiences.
The two walked and chatted until they reached the Mercedes-Benz showroom inside.
"Oh, look what I found, two GTRs, but I prefer this CLKGTR!"
As the president of Daimler Group, Kang Linsong certainly likes his original car, especially this one is so well preserved.
"Mr. Kang Linsong, can you tell me about it, I was just born when this car came out. ”
Xia Yu took the initiative to ask.
"You're so young, I graduated from economics when I was your age, and I stumbled into a car company, and I remember that the car came out in '97 with a V12 engine, and Bernd Schneider and Klaus Ludwig drove it to win championship after championship until CLKLM took over the trophy in '98. ”
Having served Daimler for more than 20 years, Kang Linsong is familiar with these classic cars.
Xia Yu didn't expect that Lao Kang actually had the same major as him, but everyone studied economics, one entered the car factory and became the CEO, and the other started his own business and became the boss, which is quite emotional when you think about it.
"Is there a car on the third floor?"
Looking down at all the exhibition halls on the second floor, Kang Linsong asked Xia Yu.
"The main locomotive is placed upstairs, and there are also some more professional equipment, if there is a problem with the car, I can fix it myself. ”
The two chatted for a while, and when they arrived on the third floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, Kang Linsong saw a car parked in the maintenance workshop, an F1 car.
"This is F2002?"
Kang Linsong recognized the car, Mercedes-Benz returned to F1 as a factory team in 2010, but in 95 years he cooperated with McLaren to provide it with F1 engines, which means that he has not been absent for more than ten years.
"Yes, I won it at last year's Pebble Beach auction, and after refurbishment, I drove it to 2:24 at the Magic Speedway. ”
Although he didn't run within 2 points last time, Xia Yu still has some F1 talent.
"Mr. Kang Linsong, I talked to your technical director in Yingguo before, and I said I wanted W09, and he said he didn't have that right. ”
"Yes, it's just a car, but only the board can make a decision. ”
Since Mercedes-Benz returned to F1, every car has carried glory in recent years, and it is indeed the board of directors who has the final say on whether to sell it or not.
"What does the board mean!"
With the friendship between the system and Daimler's board of directors, Xia Yu felt that he should have a chance.
"W09 is in difficulty, but we can consider transferring a W08 to Mr. Xia you. ”
Kang Linsong thought and said.
According to the current rules of F1, each team must operate two cars, that is, not counting test cars, there are two in each generation, and one is given to Xia Yu, and they still have one left.
It's not better to keep both, but Xia Yu is worth it.
The favor of the system is probably to stack an exclusive favorability buff for Xia Yu, so that all the board members of Daimler have a good impression of him, and he can win the contract of AMGONE, in addition to the excellent product itself, there is also this factor in it.
"No problem, W08 is W08!"
Xia Yu immediately agreed, since the collection of old cars, he has opened up a new project, that is, to collect F1 championship old cars, the current number is only 2, but I believe that there will be more and more in the future.
"Mr. Xia, the price is not too expensive, but it is not too cheap, please understand. ”
"Understand, understand, you also have to give the following explanation, after all, this is the honor won by the team. ”
Xia Yu understands Kang Linsong very well, he can buy W08 with money, it doesn't matter if it's expensive, after all, countless rich people can't buy it with money, who can't make the love not in place!
"But Mr. Xia, you really love F1, and if you're interested in AMGONE, we can even add production for you. ”
Kang Linsong said with a smile, after all, no matter how limited AMGONE is, it is also positioned as a mass-produced supercar.
"No, no, no, Mr. Kang Linsong, you don't know, in fact, I don't like trams, and I don't like hybrids. ”
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder I didn't see Ferrari Lafa, Porsche 918, these hybrid supercars on the second floor just now.
Kang Linsong knew it in his heart, but then he thought about it and it was wrong.
I don't like electric cars, I don't like hybrids, and I produce a hammer battery.
"I like the internal combustion engine, which is a traditional petrol car, so I would probably never buy an electric car, and F1 made me an exception. ”
Who makes F1's appearance so high, as a pure Yan dog, Xia Yu is loyal to his true thoughts.
"Actually, I also like the internal combustion engine, which hasn't changed for decades, but even Mercedes-Benz can't resist the trend of electric vehicles, and times have changed after all. ”
Kang Linsong also said with emotion.
"Yes, so I also choose to follow the trend, make world-class batteries, and seize this vast market. ”
Conform to the trend and follow the trend, not buying a tram is probably Xia Yu's last point of insistence, after all, Shenhao has his own pride, or is it tsundere?
When he said this, Kang Linsong realized that this was the case.
"Mr. Xia, I believe that you can do it, after this project of AMGONE, I believe we will have more cooperation in the future. ”
"Win-win cooperation!"
After establishing a more in-depth cooperative relationship with Mercedes-Benz, Jierui Power will also look for new partners, or people will take the initiative to send it to the door.
"What the hell is going on with this Jierui power?"
Because of the news on the Internet, NIO's headquarters is holding an ad hoc meeting.
"We don't know much, we only know that this company quietly won the order of Mercedes-Benz, and the high-profile at this time is probably to start the brand and officially enter the automotive power battery industry. ”
"In addition to Mercedes-Benz's order, according to the news of one of my classmates, it has also established a cooperative relationship with DJI, and at the end of this quarter, DJI will complete the contract with Guancheng New Energy, and their battery cells will all be manufactured by Jierui Power in the future. ”
The high-level executives in the conference room discussed sentence by sentence, and when it comes to Guancheng New Energy, we have to mention its parent company CATL, and their battery supplier for NIO is CATL.
Unlike other domestic electric vehicle companies, NIO has only one battery supplier, and they have signed an exclusive supply contract with CATL, and can only choose a backup supplier when the other party's production capacity is insufficient and the battery supply is out of stock.
This allows for more favorable conditions, but being prepared is a must.
"Let's learn more about this company, and if appropriate, be included in the list of backup suppliers, and adjust the priority to first. ”
Mercedes-Benz, DJI's actions they can not ignore, these two companies are one in the industry, one is outside the industry, they have chosen Jierui power, it is absolutely impossible because of human affection, this battery company that has only emerged today must have something outstanding.
The same decision is repeated in many companies, but it is slightly different on the side of Xiaopeng Motors.
When we raised funds before, there was a company called Xia's Capital, and the boss was Xia Yu!"
He Xiaopeng asked the assistant beside him.
"Yes, they invested 180 million in the company's Series B+ financing. ”
Xia's Capital has invested in a lot of new energy-related companies, but these companies have been listed early, and most of the shares are eaten in the market, only Xiaopeng was invested before the listing, He Xiaopeng knew about it at the time, so he knew that Xia Yu was the boss behind it.
"Isn't this a relationship, you help me contact the other party in two days, and just say that I want to have a meal with them Mr. Xia. ”
Chinese people like to talk about business at the dinner table, but there has to be a reason, otherwise you won't go if you say invite someone.
He Xiaopeng and Xia Yu have never met, but they have a cooperative relationship, so his invitation Xia Yu will not refuse, so things will be settled.
Talk to shareholders about the company's recent progress, maybe they can cooperate again, but He Xiaopeng didn't know that Xia's Capital held more shares in Weilai, because the company's stock price had fallen fiercely before, and Gu Jia ate a lot according to Xia Yu's meaning.
Now the company's stock price has gone up, and it can go up again according to the trend.
In fact, Xia Yu wants to cooperate with Tesla the most, after all, the scale of the family is large enough, and he is very interested in snatching Panasonic's customers.
It is said that Fu Han will be more advanced in lithium battery technology, so what can he do to defeat these companies head-on!
After reading the collection of Xia Yu's private car museum, he sent Kang Linsong to the hotel and made an appointment to visit Jierui Power together tomorrow.
After visiting Jereh Power, Kang Linsong will continue his trip to China and visit many battery companies, including CATL and Funeng Technology.
The first inspection of Jierui Power is a good reference standard, to see which company will be long-term cooperation with a series of Mercedes-Benz tram projects after AMGONE.
Kang Linsong is personally very inclined to Xia Yu, but he is also responsible to the board of directors, and he must comprehensively investigate and compare.
