Chapter 379 Opening up the global market according to the original plan, Chen Xing signed a gambling contract with the Imperial Capital
"Pa-ta-"
Chen Xing clicked the mouse with familiarity and clicked on the content of the email to view.
According to the content of the email sent back by Li Zhenzhen, the sales volume of Longxing mobile phone in the peninsula market on the day of its release was 600,000 units in the first hour, and then decreased hour by hour, with a total of 24 hours sold. 2.74 million units.
“Far exceeded expectations.”
Chen Xing couldn’t help but sigh.
You must know that according to the official disclosure of the peninsula, their total population in 2014 was 50 million. This value, excluding the old and young, is the middle number, and there are about 30 million young adults.
It is impossible for all of the 30 million people to change their mobile phones, so it will continue to be cut in half. In other words, only 15 million people are potential buyers of Longxing mobile phones.
This is not over yet. Due to the subsidies from Korean Star Group, a large number of users who are willing to change their phones have been consumed, and they have to continue to be cut in half, leaving only 7.5 million potential users.
It is worth noting that potential users are not necessarily purchasers, they are just consumer groups with the intention to purchase.
Adding up various data, Chen Xing predicts that the sales volume of the Peninsula market on the day of release will be about 1.4 million units.
Currently, 2.74 million units have been sold, almost doubling the sales volume, which really exceeded Chen Xing’s expectations.
However, this can also show that people around the world recognize 5G high-speed networks.
Who wants to watch a video that appears to be loading?
Who wants to experience lag while playing games?
In a country like the peninsula, which has a fast pace of life and high quality requirements, people are able to discern what consumption meets their needs.
"Mao Xiong and the Japanese and Korean markets have been opened, so the next step is Southeast Asia and West Asia, and we will march all the way west."
Chen Xing murmured to himself.
He has already planned the territory.
First eat the Asian market, then march all the way to the west, and finally reach Europe, which is also the final main battlefield.
As for why such a route was drawn up, it was largely because Chen Xing wanted to see what tricks Pou Ke would use to resist him.
He saw Lee Jae-yong’s strategy, which was to seize users through subsidies.
But this is only limited to the mainland of the peninsula. If the international market uses subsidies, the Korean Star Group will definitely not be able to bear it. After all, no one’s money comes from strong winds.
If it were on the mainland of the peninsula, as a chaebol, he would have many ways to obediently let peninsula users spit out their money.
“Plop—”
Chen Xing continued to click the mouse, and then typed on the keyboard to reply: “According to the original plan to open up the global market, if you encounter difficult problems, keep in touch at any time. ”
“Ding! ”
The email was sent successfully.
After replying to Li Zhenzhen, Chen Xing did not close his laptop in a hurry, but opened Weibo to check the hot search list.
Of course.
He is not focused on the entertainment industry.
He doesn't have the slightest interest in star actors and actresses.
The so-called big melons are cheating, cheating, surrogacy, unspoken fans and prostitutes. I am tired of seeing it.
The reason why Chen Xing pays attention to Weibo is that Weibo is currently the only public information platform that can obtain the needs of the people of Dragon Kingdom in a timely manner and the direction of future layout.
At this time, the top entries on the hot search list are about the "Asian Segmentation Act" and stock market finance.
After carefully checking the ins and outs, Chen Xing murmured to himself: "The return of funds is good news for Longguo."
The US dollar interest rate hike has led to the outflow of funds, and now overseas The return of funds can definitely be called good news.
However, Chen Xing also has questions about why the U.S. Congress enacted such a bill. Doesn’t this force Asians to flee the United States?
Chen Xing will not figure out things he cannot figure out by himself. He believes that time will give the answer, and he just needs to wait quietly.
As the mouse wheel slid, Chen Xing found an inconspicuous hot search. The entry was "Tesla Magic City Road Test". The ranking on the list was 37. If you are not paying attention, you may Will be missed.
Clicking on the entry, the first blog post is a video released by Tesla officials in the early morning. The number of likes has exceeded 50,000.
The video is not long, only ten minutes.
In the video, Tesla shuttles through the streets and alleys of Shanghai, as well as during the evening rush hour after get off work. At the end of the video, the cost of running for a day is also shown.
The total electricity consumption for 475 kilometers is 77 kilowatt-hours, leaving room for the user’s imagination.
In the comment area below, some netizens have already begun to settle accounts.
[Demo Guyan]: "Traveling around for a day, 475 kilometers used 77 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Calculated according to the electricity price of 0.6 yuan in Shanghai, that is 46.2 yuan. This is a bit too much to save money."< br>
[Above the Sea of Clouds]: "If a gas-powered car runs 475 kilometers, based on the fuel consumption of my Audi, which is almost 7 points, it will consume 33.25 liters of oil. Now 95-proof gasoline costs 6.6 yuan per liter, which is 219 yuan. , is it too cost-effective to drive an electric car?”
[Wanwu Zudi]: “I have to say that Chen Xing, the boss of Longxing Group, is far-sighted. I didn’t believe him when he proposed the concept of electric vehicles. When foreign brands come to our country, it really saves money to drive!”
[Yuanfang Bagpipe]: “With the cost of using the car, I feel that fuel vehicles will definitely be eliminated. I will post this as proof. I look forward to it! Slap in the face.”
If Chen Xing’s live talk about electric cars is just a piece of paper, then the arrival of Masik’s Tesla is equivalent to confirming that what Chen Xing said is not false.
Electric vehicles are indeed cheaper than fuel vehicles in terms of vehicle cost.
And they didn’t just talk about it on paper, they actually drove the car out and towed it to urban roads for actual testing.
Some people living in Shanghai can clearly feel that the city is being changed and a large number of charging piles are being built.
Chen Xing is a theoretical shock.
Masik is a practical shock.
Now, both the public and car companies have felt the arrival of a new trend, which belongs to electric vehicles.
After briefly browsing all the blog posts on Tesla's official account, Chen Xing also put down the mouse and thought to himself: "To start the road test so soon, it seems that Tesla is really going to launch it in the second half of the year."< br>
Cars are no different than mobile phones. Mobile phones only need to be registered and submitted for inspection before they can be put on the market. Cars also need manufacturers to provide actual measured data in various aspects such as road tests, crash tests, and performance, which will then be verified by relevant departments.
It is understandable that the review is so strict. After all, vehicles are driving on the road, and there are countless passers-by on the road. If something goes wrong, it will be bad for innocent people.
“Ding Dong——”
While Chen Xing was thinking about future plans, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Being interrupted from his thoughts, he did not continue to think, but closed the laptop and walked towards the door of the living room.
Having just opened the door, Rebus, wearing a dark shirt with a polo collar and a pair of dark blue jeans, was standing at the door. When Chen Xing opened the door, he smiled and said hello: "What? So, are you used to living there? "
The Imperial Capital is in the north, and the Shencheng City where Chen Xing lives is in the south. The climate and altitude of the two regions will affect a person's condition, which is commonly known as acclimatization.
“It’s okay.”
Chen Xing responded with a smile.
The air in the Imperial Capital is a bit dry, but he can still adapt.
Hearing this, Rebus took out the Huoxiang Zhengqi water specially brought from home and joked: "I was afraid that you would be acclimatized, so I brought you two bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi water. It seems that It won’t be used.”
“Put it in the suite for me. Maybe it will be used someday.”
Chen Xing was not polite.
Acclimatization does not happen overnight. Symptoms may suddenly appear one day, and drinking a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water can relieve them.
Of course.
It is best to go to the hospital to prescribe targeted medicine.
Taking the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Chen Xing also placed it on the table of the suite, and Rebus followed him into the suite.
"By the way." Rebus sat down on the sofa and asked, "Didn't you say you came to the Imperial Capital to discuss the license plate matter? Is there any progress?"
"Yes."< br>
Chen Xing also sat down and responded: "I have talked with Dean Qin two days ago, and I will have a meeting at ten o'clock. It is probably about electric vehicle licenses and city pilots."
"Then shall I go together?"
Rebus also wants to take a look.
"If you are free, yes." Chen Xing did not refuse. Longxing Heavy Industry is a three-joint venture. Rice Company and Kunpeng Company are both strategic partners of Longxing Group. Rebus is also qualified. Go talk.
"It's almost eight o'clock. Have you eaten?"
Rebus continued to ask.
“I just woke up not long ago.” After Chen Xing finished speaking, he stood up and said, “It’s really time to eat. I have to attend a meeting later.”
Rebus: “Then you wash up first. , I’ll wait for you in the hotel restaurant.”
“Okay.”
Rebus then left the suite, and Chen Xing simply washed up, and then went to the hotel restaurant for a simple meal. meal.
After eating and drinking, the two of them were not in a hurry to compete with the workers on the road. After all, it was morning rush hour.
It was almost nine o'clock before Rebus arranged a vehicle and went with Chen Xing to the Academy of Dragon Science, where the meeting was held.
……
At the same time.
Vehicles from the General Administration of Transportation and vehicles from several related departments have already set off, and they are also navigating the Imperial Dragon Academy of Sciences.
In the apartment of Long Academy of Sciences, Qin Long was sorting out his image in the bathroom.
He spent a lot of effort in setting up today's game.
Not only the two directors of the General Administration of Transport were invited, but also the leaders of the vehicle inspection, vehicle review, and listing registration departments. Since Chen Xing has stated that he will use Imperial Capital as a pilot city for electric vehicles, Imperial Capital’s The leadership team will also come to attend the meeting.
After confirming that his beard was cleanly shaved and that there were no problems with his hairstyle and image, Qin Long also called Qu Cheng. After all, Longke Academy was his home base, and he had to rely on two people to calm him down. place.
Vehicles are arriving one after another.
At nine forty, Chen Xing and Rebus also arrived at the gate of the Academy of Dragon Science.
Because it is an important place in the country, the guard posts are not ordinary security guards, but active soldiers armed with guns and loaded with bullets.
When they saw the foreign vehicle, the two sentries cooperated tacitly, one made a stop signal, and the other was on guard.
If there is anything unusual about the vehicle, the sentries on guard can shoot at any time.
"If there is no reservation, Longke Academy does not allow outside vehicles to enter. What are you doing here?"
The sentry asked as usual.
"My name is Chen Xing and his name is Rebus. We were invited by Dean Qin Long to attend an internal meeting of the Academy of Dragon Science. This is our identity document."
Chen Xing handed over their IDs.
The sentry took the certificate and carefully compared the appearance of the two people. After confirming that it was him, he handed the certificate back and saluted: "Dean Qin has already informed that Chen Xing's vehicles will be allowed to pass. Welcome to the Dragon Academy.”
At the moment the inspection sentry saluted, the door bar was raised.
"Thank you." Chen Xing nodded in thanks.
The driver in charge saw this and drove towards the interior of Longke Academy.
When the vehicle passed by, the sentry on alert also saluted with a gun.
Following the signs of Longke Academy, Chen Xing's vehicle quickly arrived at the parking lot. Qu Cheng, who was wearing two big bags under his eyes but was full of energy, had been waiting for him for a long time.
Moreover, he is not the only one, there is also an old acquaintance waiting.
He is none other than Bai Yan, who is on loan to the Dragon Academy of Science and Technology as a bargaining chip. Today, he also has a greasy hair style, giving him a particularly elite image.
The moment Chen Xing opened the car door and got out of the car, the two of them took turns saying hello.
“We have been waiting for Chen Xing to come.”
“President.”
Seeing two familiar faces, Chen Xing smiled and said hello: “Mr. Qu, Chief Bai, I've kept you waiting."
"No, we just arrived."
"Yes, we just arrived."
The two responded quickly. .
Although it might be a lie, Chen Xing had no need to expose it. Instead, he looked at Bai Yan and said, "How is it? Are you under a lot of pressure during this period?"
He was originally loaned to Longke Academy to be responsible for the Beidou chip. The two have not seen each other for almost half a year, but they still keep in touch on WeChat.
“It’s okay.”
Bai Yan responded with a smile.
Even if he wasn't used to it, he wouldn't be able to say it in front of Qu Cheng.
After chatting with Bai Yan for a few more words, Qu Cheng looked at the time and said: "The conference room is still some distance away from here, why don't we go there first?"
"Okay. "
"Then Mr. Qu, please lead the way."
The group followed Qu Cheng and walked on the green path of Longke Academy.
Like many domestic R&D bases, the interior is surrounded by green plants. Entering the interior feels like returning to nature.
Near ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Xing and others also came to the door of the conference room. Because everyone was not there, the door was not closed.
The moment Chen Xing, Rebus, Qu Cheng, and Bai Yan appeared at the door, all eyes in the conference room turned to everyone at the door.
Qin Long, who was sitting at the main seat, stood up and welcomed Chen Xing and everyone: "Chen Xiaoyou and Mr. Lei, don't stand at the door anymore. Come on, come on, please take your seats."
"Dean Qin, long time no see."
Chen Xing has no stage fright.
Although the men and women in the conference room are all important figures, they are not just ordinary people. They all come with chips.
"Haha, long time no see, come and sit here." Qin Long glanced at the seat next to him and gave Chen Xing enough face.
The position of the conference table is also very knowledgeable. People usually do not sit opposite the main seat, because they cannot overwhelm the main person because of their high achievements.
The positions close to the two sides of the main seat, the left is large and the right is small. These two positions are where the second and third largest people at the conference table should sit. The less important the participants, the smaller the seats. The sitting position needs to be as far away from the main seat as possible.
At this time, a middle-aged woman with short ear-length hair and sharp eyes sat down at the first place on the left. Obviously, she was the second most important person in this conference room.
"Thank you."
Chen Xing was not polite to Qin Long and sat down in the empty seat on the right.
As soon as he sat down, the middle-aged woman opposite Chen Xing said, "Are you Chen Xing, the boss of Longxing Group?"
"Yes." Chen Xing nodded. He nodded and responded: "The king has heard of this name for a long time. I am honored that you know it."
He came to the imperial capital to talk about the urban pilot project of electric vehicles. He was not just reckless, but he had understood the specific situation. Understand the decisions made by the corresponding talents.
Wang Fang was not surprised that Chen Xing knew her information. If she wanted to know who she was, she could just search it on Baidu and it would come out.
“I heard that your Longxing Group is coming to the Imperial City to conduct a pilot project of electric vehicles. Do you want us to prepare a new license plate for you?”
Wang Fang went straight to the point.
"Ahem." Qin Long coughed twice, indicating that the meeting hadn't started yet.
It can be seen in just a few sentences that Wang Fang has a strong personality. After Chen Xing caught this, he did not respond in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the people who had not yet taken their seats and said: "Take your seats first. We have to close the door and talk first.”
Rebus, Qu Cheng, and Bai Yan found their seats and sat down. The door of the conference room was closed. Qin Long also gave Chen Xing a "continue" look.
With the permission of the "chief", Chen Xingcai responded to Wang Fang: "Yes, we plan to do a pilot project in Shenzhen City and the Imperial Capital first. At present, Shenzhen City has reached an agreement."
What he said In addition to responding to Wang Fang, he also expressed that the imperial capital is not the only city for the pilot. If it does not agree, Longxing Group can still go back to Shenzhen to test electric vehicles.
The most feared thing in negotiations is uniqueness, which means there is no choice.
If you have alternatives, the difficulty of negotiation will plummet.
As expected, Wang Fang frowned slightly and spoke again: "We have no problem with the city pilot, but I think we need to further discuss the new car license plates."
"Shortage?"< br>
Chen Xing asked.
"That's right." Wang Fang didn't hide it, and responded directly: "The imperial capital is extremely short of license plates. Many locals can only hang out license plates from other places. We simply can't provide so many license resources. This hope Mr. Chen can understand.”
After she finished speaking, she added: “Of course, I still support the introduction of new license plates for electric vehicles.”
What she wanted to express was obvious, that is, Longxing Group could be allowed to come to the Imperial Capital for a pilot project, but without the support of a new energy license.
But this is understandable, because the traffic volume in the Imperial Capital is too heavy.
If there are no restrictions on numbers or license plates, let alone traffic jams in the morning and evening peaks, it is estimated that there will be congestion from time to time during normal times.
This is why some people can’t get a number after seven or eight years of lottery, but some people can get a number and sell it for money.
This is real scarcity, not intentional hunger marketing.
However, Chen Xing did not want to give in, and smiled and said: "Mayor Wang, don't rush to a conclusion. How about we follow the example of Magic City and Masik and sign a gambling agreement?"
“What are you betting on?”
Wang Fang became interested.
“What is this kid planning?” Qin Long thought to himself.
Others in the conference room were also interested in it, but they were also confused as to what kind of medicine Chen Xing was selling in his gourd.
"Let's bet on the future of electric vehicles." Chen Xing finished his words and explained: "The air quality in the Imperial Capital is notoriously bad, and there are smog and haze weather from time to time. It is your task to save energy, reduce emissions, and improve the environment. Right? ”
“If electric vehicles can fully replace fuel vehicles, it will not only promote the development of local automobiles in Longguo, but also save energy and reduce emissions, and improve smog, why not?”
As Chen Xing expressed his thoughts, everyone in the conference room looked at each other, and Wang Fang also fell silent, thinking about this issue.
As stated by Chen Xing, energy conservation, emission reduction, environmental management, and reduction of smog are tasks that the Imperial Capital needs to overcome in the near future.
But the question is, are electric cars reliable?
She had heard that lithium batteries are prone to explosion and spontaneous combustion. When she learned that Chen Xing was coming to discuss city pilot projects, she inquired with the Shanghai Municipal Government, who made it clear that even Tesla’s lithium If the battery encounters a violent collision, it will spontaneously ignite and catch fire, and the battery will burn very quickly.
This is the case with foreign vehicles. Can the quality of domestic vehicles be guaranteed?
This is not because she worships foreigners, but because she knows how to face the gap. In the automotive field, Longguo is indeed inferior to foreign car companies.
"I am more worried about safety. You know that the population of the imperial capital is relatively..."
Before Wang Fang finished speaking, Qin Long interrupted her and said: "Are you worried about this? You told me earlier. Last time Academician Qu and I visited Longxing Group, we had a complete look at their solid-state battery tests, which were very safe.”
"Yes."
Qu Cheng agreed.
Chen Xing also came prepared. He took out the USB flash drive he had prepared and said: "This is the battery test video we recorded. If Mayor Wang is worried about safety, you can take a look."
The secretary standing in the conference room heard this and immediately took the USB flash drive and inserted it into the screen projection computer.
A moment later.
Test video broadcast.
Falling from high altitude.
Steel needle puncture.
Strong squeeze.
After several projects were demonstrated, exclamations came from the conference room.
"Is this a solid-state battery?"
"It's amazing. It's 3cm deep when squeezed in, but it hasn't spontaneously ignited yet. This is different from what we know."
"There is this With solid-state batteries, electric cars might actually become a reality."
"By the way, Mr. Chen." Suddenly, a middle-aged man asked, "I watched the replay of your live broadcast, and you said it would be charged once. It can run seven or eight hundred kilometers, is this true?”
“No!”
Chen Xing shook his head.
Just when everyone thought that Chen Xing was making false propaganda, he changed the subject and said: "Now it's more than seven or eight hundred. It is conservatively estimated that it can reach a thousand kilometers."
"Hiss——"
Several gasps came from the conference room.
Can you run thousands of kilometers on a single charge?
What kind of car is this?
Is this still a car?
Even Rebus couldn't help but be speechless and exclaimed in his heart: "I didn't expect that Longxing Group's battery technology has reached this point, a thousand kilometers. Isn't this inappropriate to scorn Tesla?"< br>
Qin Long and Qu Cheng looked at each other, both seeing the other's surprise.
This man changed the landscape of smartphones, and may soon change the landscape of the automotive field again.
Wang Fang was also surprised. She also knows a little about cars, and she likes to go on self-driving trips during her annual vacation.
On a single charge, it can run a thousand kilometers. This perfect technology crushes the West!
After a brief hesitation, she also made a concession and asked: "How do you want to bet?"
After saying these words, Chen Xing knew that the new energy license in Imperial City was still under negotiation Space, and then said what he was thinking:
“I hope that the new energy license of the Imperial City will be fully liberalized. At the same time, I will lend you 30 billion yuan for urban construction such as charging piles and sales channel construction. …”
