Beautiful country!
The Ford Motor Company, headquartered in Dearborn, Michigan, is busy. A large number of engineers have been recruited to conduct various tests on a bio-battery.
After a series of tests were completed, in the last step of the test, the battery was cut violently and thrown into the fire to burn. There was no spontaneous combustion in the bio-battery, and the on-site engineer couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Far away in the conference room of the headquarters building, Ford Motor Company President Mullah looked serious and paced back and forth anxiously in the conference room, waiting for the final results of the test. The place was already full of people from Ford Motor Company. Executives.
A moment later, McKinley, chief engineer of Ford Motor Company, hurried into the office and said excitedly: "Oh my god, President Mulla, you will never believe it. This bio-battery is so perfect. It's really amazing." It’s perfect.”
McKinley's face flushed with excitement. As a scientific researcher, the appearance of this kind of biological battery was more attractive to him than he imagined.
If Mulla hadn't still been here, he would have run back now to continue testing.
In McKinley’s view, with the emergence of this kind of bio-battery, other batteries can basically be swept into the garbage heap of history.
Not only are the energy density of most batteries far inferior to biological batteries, but they are also prone to thermal runaway, causing the battery to spontaneously ignite.
This kind of bio-battery can achieve a perfect integration of resources, energy, safety, extreme environment, materials, transmission, and systems.
"Tell me the test results quickly."
Mula was not in the mood to listen to McKinley's nonsense. He only wanted the detailed data of this biological battery now.
Seeing the impatience on Mulla's face, McKinley restrained his smile slightly, handed over a detailed test data about the biological battery, and introduced:
"After our According to the test, the energy density of this bio-battery is as high as 1200Wh/kg. According to the configuration of a conventional tram, it can be fully charged and used over and over again. It can meet the needs of a car driving three thousand kilometers, and at the same time it is perfectly safe. No matter severe collision, cutting or high temperature, it will not cause the battery to spontaneously ignite. This is simply a masterpiece of God.”
Hearing this data, I originally thought. With a glimmer of extravagant hope, Mu La, who hoped that this biological battery would contain a lot of water, was breathing heavily, and his entire expression fell.
"Are you sure, is it really that strong?"
Mura gritted his teeth, his voice trembling.
"There is absolutely no mistake. We have conducted the most comprehensive testing and there can be no mistakes."
When McKinley heard that Mulla questioned his professionalism, he couldn't help but pat his chest. Full of confidence.
“Is it possible to imitate successfully?”
Mulla asked.
"There is no hope. Many of the materials in this biological battery cannot be understood, and there is no clue to imitate it."
McKinley shook his head repeatedly, saying that he was powerless.
When testing the bio-battery, he could not test the properties of some of the internal materials. It seemed to be newly developed by Jieke Group and had never been seen before.
Mu La is not surprised. This kind of thing has been expected for a long time. Various products of Jieke Group have been around for many years, but none of them have been imitated.
Thinking of this, Mulla looked at the operations director on the other side: "What is the current situation of the company's gasoline vehicles and new energy vehicles?"
The operations director quickly said: "President, now we only produce gasoline vehicles, electric vehicles All automobile production lines were shut down two years ago. "
It is not that Ford has not diversified its automobile business. They have also produced new energy vehicles.
It’s just that the beautiful country seems to be a little acclimated to new energy electric vehicles. Except for the leading Tesla, the electric vehicles produced by other traditional and old car companies are basically at a loss.
Like Ford, the bottomless losses in its electric vehicle business were unstoppable in the past. It was overthrown by new energy car companies in China. It sold cars at a bloody rate but still did not receive a large amount of feedback.
In Huaguo, the largest market for new energy vehicles, they cannot compete with Huaguo New Energy Vehicles, and the country’s market share is limited. Counting the costs of R&D funds, operations, labor, etc., they almost lose more than 10 yuan by selling one new energy vehicle. million dollars.
Draged by the new energy vehicle business, the profits generated by their oil vehicles are unable to make up for the huge losses caused by new energy vehicles, and they are stuck in a quagmire.
Therefore, even though it knew that new energy vehicles were the general trend of the future, Ford still cut off the new energy vehicle business segment and lost this debt-ridden burden.
But who would have known that just two years after they got rid of the burden of new energy vehicles, Jieke Group's bio-battery would come out.
Mula's expression at this time was as ugly as it could be.
Everyone knows that the biggest limitation for new energy vehicles is the battery. Now that the battery limitation has been overcome by Jieke Group, new energy vehicles are about to usher in a golden age.
However, they cut off the new energy vehicle business for two full years. One can imagine Mulla’s inner depression.
"Fake, why didn't this bastard Jieco Group come up with a bio-battery earlier at this time?"
Mula cursed, and the company executive next to him lowered his head. Head, afraid to speak.
Only the scientific researcher McKinley was bolder and asked: "President, aren't we going to produce new energy vehicles?"
"Nonsense, how can we not produce it? This is an innovation in the energy field. The sales of oil vehicles will definitely plummet in the future. New energy vehicles are a brand new blue ocean. If we don't make money, how can we look at our competitors, GM, and Steerland?" The bastards like Tis and Tesla will make it!”
Mu La scolded him. But money still has to be made. As he spoke, he ordered the marketing department: "Contact Jieke Group immediately and book an order for bio-batteries with them. This thing will definitely be very popular by then. If you go late, you will have to queue up to wait for production. "
The marketing director coughed dryly and said: "President, that head of state Su is talking to us. Sanctions have been announced! Bio-batteries cannot enter the beautiful country, and if the government of the beautiful country knows that we are cooperating with the Jieko Group"
"Idiot, we are a multinational company, and the Jieko Group only restricts the beautiful country. When it comes to imports, we don’t only have factories in beautiful countries. We also have factories in China and Southeast Asia. We still have our factory, so we can purchase it from the factory there. As for the beautiful country, our company's public relations team will lobby for it. You can call Jieke Company now and get the order as soon as possible." br>
Mula said very domineeringly, their Ford Motor Company is not a small company. Ford Motor Company, founded as early as 1903 in the last century, is a world-famous automobile brand and one of the largest automobile manufacturers. Its annual revenue exceeds US$200 billion and ranks 35th on the Fortune Global 500 list. .
Its influence spreads all over the world, especially in the beautiful country where it is its home base, and its network of contacts is so deep that many newly rising Internet upstarts cannot match it.
This is why Mulla dared to say this. After all, the beautiful country also serves capital, and no one can prevent their capital from making money, even if the resistance comes from the beautiful country government.
The marketing director ran out of the conference room in despair and went to contact Jieke Group. Everyone in the conference room was waiting for him.
After a while, he came back again and told the result of the communication.
"President, Jieke Group has promised to provide us with bio-batteries."
As soon as the marketing director said this, all the executives at the scene immediately smiled.
Mu La also smiled and said proudly: "The Jieke Group will not let money go unearned, and we have no competitive relationship with him. On the contrary, the Jieke Group wants to roll out bio-batteries as quickly as possible. , to form a market monopoly, we need traditional cars like us With the help of the company, this is a matter of mutual benefit. "
With the emergence of bio-batteries, this energy innovation trend is destined to be unstoppable, just like the internal combustion engine replacing the steam engine, but with the participation of traditional and established automobile companies, can greatly speed up this process.
Mula can even guess the ambitions of the Jieco Group. As we all know, petrodollars are one of the pillars of the beautiful country's hegemony, and traditional oil trucks are the largest consumer market for oil in the world.
But what if a large number of traditional oil truck companies join the new energy vehicle track and engage in new energy vehicles?
The decline in the value of oil is certain, which will deeply impact the hegemony of the petrodollar of the beautiful country and greatly shake the status and strength of the blue star hegemon of the beautiful country.
But it can be seen that Mullah has no intention of going against the general trend. He just wants to make money and make Ford Motor Company bigger and stronger.
As for whether the interests of their own motherland will be damaged by this, it’s a joke, they are capitalists. In Europe and the United States, capitalists who do not betray their motherland are not worthy of being called qualified capitalists.
“But.”
Seeing Mulla beaming with joy, the marketing director hesitated to speak.
"Why, just say it if you have anything to say, did Jieko Group increase the price for our purchase of bio-batteries?"
Mula frowned, took a sip of coffee, and thought of Jieko Given the group’s consistent style in the past, this possibility is very high.
The marketing director nodded first, then shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "President, Jieke Group proposed that we can purchase their bio-batteries. In addition to the normal procurement expenses, install them Every time a new energy vehicle with bio-battery is sold, they need to pay a battery tax of 8% based on the vehicle price.”
Poof!
Mulla spit out a sip of coffee and sprinkled it all over the face of the marketing department director. His eyes widened in shock: "Fake, what nonsense are you talking about? You charge us an 8% battery tax. How dare he Jieke Group do what Qualcomm does? ?”
The scene was also filled with anger, and everyone couldn’t help but curse after hearing this.
“The Jieco Group is so poor that they dare to charge this kind of tax.”
“Shit, the Jieco Group is clearly blackmailing us, and it’s blatant.”
“Only if we, the Ford Motor Company, are easy to bully, would they agree to such a request? Chun Chun wants us to work for him in vain.”
Of course these executives are angry. In the mobile phone industry, there is Qualcomm, which charges a complete mobile phone machine tax, and Jieke Group wants to do the same with cars.
But who are they? They are Ford Motor Company!
When did Ford, the oldest company with a well-known brand, suffer such humiliation and be extorted like this?
The marketing director did not bother to wipe off the water stains on his face, and said with a wry smile: "That's what Jieke Group said, they also charge other companies, and European and American car companies charge the highest vehicle battery tax. , listening to their tone on the phone, they are very confident and have no room for bargaining."
After being furious, Mulla was already cold at this time. After calming down, facing the indignation of countless executives, he said bitterly: "Sooner or later, this greedy vampire will be overwhelmed by his own appetite. You should reply to Jieke Group now. We will agree to his request and let him arrange it as soon as possible." In bio-battery production, we must get this battery as soon as possible and reap the first dividends in the golden era of new energy vehicles.”
ah!
The executives present were a little confused. They thought that Mulla would sternly reject the blackmail from the Jieco Group. As a result, Mulla surrendered faster than imagined.
“Ah what! Jieke Group charges us battery tax, so we sell cars at a higher price. Consumers pay the price anyway. With the powerful performance of bio-battery, consumers don’t have to worry about not paying.”
Mula spoke plausibly, waved his hand and said: "Hurry now. Go ahead and restart the new energy vehicle production line that was closed in the past. I don’t care what method you use, you will design a new new energy vehicle immediately. In the future, the company’s business focus will shift to new energy vehicles. Do you understand?”
“Yes!”
There was a neat response from the scene.
The same scene is happening in major automobile companies around the world, including battery-related mobile phone and other electronic product industries. They are all beginning to adjust their company's business and develop products suitable for bio-batteries in response to the emergence of bio-batteries. New products, get ready to take your first bite of the delicious cake of energy innovation.
As more and more bio-battery test data are released from major technology laboratories and technology giants around the world, it is proved that Jieke Group's bio-battery is real and effective.
What is reflected in the outside world, apart from the overwhelming news, is that the stock market of the beautiful country suddenly collapsed.
The stock prices of major oil companies, automobile companies, and mobile phone companies plummeted, dragging other sectors down with them. The stock market circuit breaker occurred three times in a day, and the market was in mourning.
Crude oil-related futures were even more unlucky. There was a sudden plunge of three thousand feet, and Beng's mother didn't even recognize it.
It is a good thing that the stock prices of major oil companies have halved. After the confirmation of bio-batteries, many small and medium-sized oil companies have declared bankruptcy because the current falling price of crude oil is higher than their cost of extraction. .
In the Middle East, major oil countries held an emergency joint meeting to discuss the emergence of bio-batteries.
In the EU, major automobile companies, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and other established automobile companies, have also begun to announce that they will re-adjust their product planning and market strategies, enter the new energy vehicle market, and produce bio-batteries. new energy vehicles.
The whole world is in a state of agitation and confusion due to the emergence of bio-batteries. For this reason, the United States held three congresses in a row within a week, targeting bio-batteries and the Jieke Group that produces bio-batteries.
No one understands better than the beautiful country how heavy a blow bio-batteries have had on their petrodollar hegemony. This punch in the heart by the Jieco Group has made the beautiful country miserable. (End of this chapter)
