Black Technology: Start with Ten Thousand Times Speed

In the afternoon just after the press conference, the global automobile industry was in a state of shock.

Some well-informed big investors have already started selling stocks.

In the surprised eyes of many uninformed investors, the stock prices of many traditional car companies have already shown a clear downward trend.

Everyone in Sakura Country was wailing.

The media is also full of negative voices.

There are also countries such as kimchi country, beer country, romantic country, eagle sauce country and so on.

These countries are all developed countries and the overlords in the era of traditional fuel vehicles. The cars they produce have accounted for most of the global automobile industry in the past 100 years.

For these countries, the automobile industry is also a pillar industry. Although the automobile industry's GDP ratio is not as high as that of Sakura Country, it still has an extremely important position.

And now.

With the release of solid-state battery technology, apart from Sakura Country, which is the most nervous, the top executives of the automobile industry in these countries have also become nervous after receiving relevant intelligence.

Executives from the world's top car companies, such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, etc., held emergency meetings overnight to discuss response strategies.

Su Xin's press conference caused quite a stir around the world.

Perhaps most ordinary people haven't noticed it yet, but for those working in the automobile industry, they can already feel the pressure of the impending storm.

On the second day.

Even some small power battery manufacturers who are not very well-informed have learned about solid-state batteries through various channels.

In addition to traditional fuel vehicle companies and upstream and downstream supply chains, the most panicked ones in the face of Thor Battery are these power battery manufacturers.

Even in the Hengde era, senior executives of top power battery manufacturers such as Gaoke were gloomy.

And just then.

The call from Tianqi Technology came over.

…

Hengde Times President Office.

Zeng Daqun sat on the boss's chair, folding his hands on his chin and frowning.

Because of the solid-state battery issue, he didn't sleep well all night. In the end, he couldn't calm down. He came to the company at around six o'clock in the morning and seriously thought about how to deal with the coming terrible storm and the strategic adjustment plan of Hengde Era.

But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any good way to deal with it.

Technology lags far behind.

The price is not much different.

They have no competitiveness at all.

Not to mention whether they can catch up in the future, but whether they can survive the attack of Apocalypse Energy in the future is a question mark.

At this time——

Dingle bell! Dingle bell!

When Zeng Daqun came back to his senses, he found that the intercom phone on the table was ringing, and then he noticed that it was getting bright outside.

He casually pressed the connect button, and the secretary's voice immediately came from inside: Mr. Zeng, Mr. Liu from Tianqi Technology is calling.

Zeng Daqun suddenly became energetic.

The two words 'apocalypse' circulated in his mind tens of thousands of times from yesterday to today, so that as soon as he heard these two words, he completely woke up and said quickly:

Put me through!

He picked up the phone, and the secretary transferred Liu Qingli's call.

Hello, are you Mr. Zeng? I am Liu Qingli, CEO of Tianqi Technology.

Hello, I am Zeng Daqun.

Mr. Zeng, I won't beat around the bush. You must have seen yesterday's press conference, right?

The name of Thor Battery has spread throughout the country and abroad. As an industry insider, of course I am also paying attention. Zeng Daqun said calmly.

Then I'll be honest, Raytheon Battery has successfully started mass production, but after all, the output is limited. Facing such a large automobile market at home and abroad, it is definitely not enough to supply it from just one factory, so we want to acquire Hengde Times. Some of the factories, I wonder what Mr. Zeng thinks?”

Zeng Daqun frowned and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but stopped.

If it was a day ago, based on the operating conditions of Hengde Times, let alone selling the factory, they would like to continue to expand production capacity to meet more and more order demands.

But now.

With the release of solid-state battery technology, he could almost see a bleak future.

only.

Even if he knew that his business would decline sharply in the future, he would not want to be taken advantage of by others.

What's more, if the factory is sold to Tianqi Technology, the other party's production capacity will increase and it will seize Hengde Times' market share at a faster rate.

This behavior is tantamount to endorsing the enemy.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Zeng Daqun still shook his head: Sorry, Hengde Times has no idea of ​​selling the factory.

Liu Qingli smiled:

Mr. Zeng, let's not talk secretly. You should know what the situation is now. The emergence of Thor battery will definitely make all other power batteries lose their market. In addition, your price does not have any advantage. You are welcome. To put it bluntly, as Tianqi Energy’s production capacity continues to expand, other manufacturers will inevitably go bankrupt one by one.”

Even if Tianqi Energy has not had time to expand, it is almost impossible for other manufacturers to receive new orders.

After all, everyone knows that better Thor batteries are about to be launched. How can customers buy outdated products? Without customers to buy, how can car manufacturers continue to place orders? Even their existing orders may be canceled one after another.

Mr. Zeng, fuel vehicles have been eliminated, and liquid lithium batteries have also been eliminated. No matter how hard we struggle, it is useless. If the technology cannot keep up, there is only a dead end.

Hengde Times is the power battery company with the highest market share at present, but your business is not only about power batteries, but also fuel cells, supercapacitors, mining investments, etc. If you sell the power battery factory, you are equivalent to cutting off the soon-to-be-corrupted body. Bad rotten meat, although the process is painful, can protect other industries.”

This is the best way to save yourself.

Otherwise, once the power battery project completely collapses, the rot is likely to spread to other parts and affect the entire group.

Mr. Zeng, we are willing to purchase it at the current market price. This is the greatest sincerity.

Hearing this, Zeng Daqun could not help but fall silent.

When I held a video conference with several senior executives yesterday, everyone was actually mentally prepared for this.

It is impossible to catch up with power battery technology, and overtaking in corners is unrealistic. After all, they have invested too much in it and there is no chance to start over.

Next, the power battery factory under the name of Hengde Times almost has no choice but to wait for death.

They really can't think of a solution.

The original price purchase proposed by Liu Qingli can be said to be the best choice in the Hengde era.

After a moment of silence, Zeng Daqun finally said with difficulty: I understand what Mr. Liu means, but I can't make the decision on this matter alone. I need to discuss it with several other executives.

Liu Qingli smiled and said, Okay.

By the way, there is one more thing I need to remind Mr. Zeng. The boss told me that our next goal is to acquire up to 30 power battery factories, and we will negotiate the terms within a month.

I will be negotiating with multiple power battery manufacturers at the same time these days. If the acquisition target is achieved by then, I will not continue the acquisition. Therefore, I hope Mr. Zeng can give a reply as soon as possible.
