Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Chapter 744 Factory Construction Choice

Except for Curry, the Golden State Warriors seem to have no geniuses. They are a group of civilian stars. The Warriors were initially predicted to be third in the Western Conference. Now that they have entered the finals, it is surprising. Their success lies in tactical details, chemical reactions, and little by little. Made through grinding.

Qu Li did not interfere with the Warriors. It is unknown whether it affected the outcome of the game. Anyway, watching the game live helped the NBA increase its ratings.

As the world's richest man, although Qu Li is watching football in the United States, this cannot be his main task. Meeting with Musk and discussing production capacity issues with him.

The Tesla Model

There are always people who think that the wealth of the rich in the United States can be passed down perfectly. If they know what happened to the three major American automobile companies, they will probably be slapped in the face, especially since the major shareholders of General Motors have now become the United Auto Workers union UAW and the American court.

Well, it can be said that General Motors is now a state-owned enterprise, a state-owned enterprise or a collectively owned enterprise in the United States. It is not considered a private enterprise anyway. The previous shareholders...

None of this is important. Anyway, Musk is strictly guarding against the UAW and will never allow them to harm Tesla. Well, now there are fewer and fewer members of the UAW, from millions in the past to hundreds of thousands now, and soon there will be only More than 100,000 yuan.

Tesla's influence is no longer what it used to be, so Tesla naturally has the courage to resist. Otherwise, in the heyday of the UAW, let alone Musk, who is the "light of mankind", even if you are the light of the earth, you will still be ignored by millions of interest groups. Coerced.

Qu Li took the time to go to Nevada, Tesla's American factory. As the most important production base outside of California, they cooperated with Panasonic to build a battery factory.

As for the 21700 high-nickel battery that Qu Li wants, it can only be said that the cooperation process is difficult. Because it is a three-party cooperation, Tesla has stricter requirements on technology, so it has been overcoming technical difficulties.

Are Qu Li and Musk friends? Maybe, just like him and Zuckerberg, of course they are friends when necessary, but if not necessary, they can make an appointment to fight in the Octagon together.

Nevada has a population of only two to three million. Its only advantage may be that it is very close to California, and it can also negotiate tax incentives. Musk’s choice is not a good one. Fewer people means fewer choices and less things to do.

So the Tesla Gigafactory was not forced out, right? No one wants to be a car factory worker. Robots can only be used, and the cost remains high. Later, Tesla didn't seem to build a car factory here, but only produced batteries, motors and other spare parts.

When Qu Li arrived in Nevada, he felt like he was in the Gobi Desert. Although he didn't like it here, he only had the right to participate or not. Joining Tesla's factory building plan will definitely reduce costs for both parties, including making Panasonic batteries live more prosperously.

Geometry Auto has now chosen to focus on the ternary lithium square case battery, and also consider the cylindrical battery. As for the soft pack battery, it’s hard to say, let’s wait.

Geometry Y9 has designed a 21700 cylindrical battery solution, but the power battery production line and final solution have not been determined, and Tesla is lagging behind. If Geometry Auto is determined to settle in Nevada and be a neighbor of Tesla, then everything will be easy to say.

There is no perfect decision in this world. The advantages and disadvantages of building a factory in the United States are very obvious. At this time, Qu Li actually no longer cares whether the American court will expropriate the assets of Chinese people or Chinese companies under certain conditions. This is a huge blow to all multinational companies in both countries and no one is immune.

Qu Li is still an unswerving supporter of globalization and is willing to pay the price for it. Frankly speaking, the early stage of enterprise development is crucial. He wants to use global resources to cultivate the bud of Geometry Automobile. In the event of an accident, all he lost was fixed assets, and what he gained was the immeasurable leading edge brought by technology and brand.

Of course, after six or seven years, the formation of the domestic new energy vehicle industry chain will bring huge advantages, or in other words, the advantage of national strength will force global consumers to re-examine China and Chinese companies. At that time, they can enter the global market with twice the result with half the effort. Simply put, domestic new energy vehicle companies such as BYD must have companies that can gain a foothold in Europe and the United States.

Qu Li is now exploring the international market with Geometric Automobile, not without the support of national power, but without the assistance of national power. We must openly say "no" to the United States. This is national power. All the marketing and promotion activities he is doing now may be half the result with half the effort, so why do them?

With a restless heart and wanting to prove himself, there are various reasons. After some intense psychological construction, Qu Li decided to build a factory in the United States, but it was either Nevada or California. He was not prepared to become Tesla's Neighbor.

It was reported that Qu Li was watching football in the United States and was planning to find a place to build a factory in the United States. Dezhou and other places took the initiative to contact Geometry Auto. Taking into account factors such as electricity prices and the labor market, Qu Li felt that Texas might be more suitable.

Texas has abundant shale gas resources and cheap electricity. Although there are shortcomings, such as an old power grid, there are ways to solve it. You can just bring your own power plant. As long as you don't have a shortage of money, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

I took the time to go to Austin, Texas, to learn about the situation. I found out that when Qianye Geometry built overseas factories, it was definitely not to sell luxury cars priced at more than US$100,000, but pure electric models priced around US$50,000 had just begun to enter the research and development stage. Anyway, Qu Li is trying to make a big pie now, so he needs to blow up the bubbles first...

Qu Li wanted to build a factory in Texas, which attracted Panasonic Batteries. In recent years, Apple has moved a large number of operations from California to Texas, Toyota has moved its headquarters to Texas, and later Oracle, HP, and a large number of well-known companies came to Texas. It can be seen that Texas is Can bring competitive advantages to manufacturing companies.

It’s not that Musk has never thought of building a factory in Texas, but California is also trying to stay. Unfortunately, the cost in California is very high and the price/performance ratio is declining. Qu Li is planning to move Shopee’s US headquarters to Austin, Texas.

I thought this trip to the United States would be easy, but in order to promote it, including participating in some activities of "Avengers 2", Qu Li flew non-stop over the United States.

"Avengers 2", which Honor is deeply involved in promoting, has a box office of approximately 460 million in North America and approximately 900 million overseas, setting a new record globally and driving sales of the slumping Honor 6 flagship phone to rise again.

Qu Li has been involved in all kinds of good things, and now he has become a blockbuster with his underwater dance "Kun". Some white Americans were very unhappy and their self-confidence was hit, so they attacked Qu Li on the Internet: The Chinese cannot be allowed to in our country……
