"Hey Mr. Chen, there are no major problems with Tesla's Modu Automobile Factory. I have personally inspected the equipment and production lines. They are all high-precision equipment imported from Germany."
The call was answered. Jiang Ye did not beat around the bush and told everything he saw and heard.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Jiang. If I have a chance in the future, I will treat you to a meal."
Chen Xing will not doubt Jiang Ye, and the latter has no motive for fraud. .
Leaving aside the competitive relationship between Tesla and SAIC, in terms of business cooperation alone, the two do not have much overlap.
Without intersection, there would be no benefits. Without benefits, Jiang Ye would have no motive to help Ma Xi Ke deceive Chen Xing.
Ten thousand steps back, if Jiang Ye rushes to please Ma Si Ke and specifically deceives Chen Xing and gives the West a reputation, then the SAIC Group will definitely collapse and become history.
Why are the consequences so serious?
Very simple.
Except for Masik’s Tesla, almost all of the electric vehicles on the market now use power batteries and chips provided by Longxing Group.
What does this amount to?
Longxing Group is the big brother behind the scenes.
Once they stop providing technology and parts, new energy car companies other than Tesla will "return to poverty overnight". Car companies with "Thor Solid State Batteries" and "Polymer Semi-Solid State Batteries" Will be crushed.
Under this kind of interest relationship, Chen Xing could not think of any motive for Jiang Ye to help Ma Si Ke with his fraud, unless he had some fatal clue in the latter's hands.
Of course.
Chen Xing also has other backup plans.
The main purpose of looking for Jiang Ye is to initially confirm whether what Masik said is true. If it is true, you can give 60% first, finalize the acquisition plan, and wait for the professional review agency of Longxing Group to arrive. In Shanghai, after confirming that there are no problems, we will give you the remaining 40%.
Jiang Ye is also a shrewd person, and he made a request according to the situation: "If I have the chance, I will definitely have a drink, but then again, Mr. Chen, do you think you can supply "Thor Solid State Battery"? You can’t add any more.”
A successful businessman must learn to make requests at the right time.
In the adult world, there is not so much pure giving. Most people are individuals driven by interests.
If you don't know how to make demands, it's no different from being a dog licker.
“It’s not that I don’t want to increase supply. The main reason is that the production capacity line of “Thor Solid State Battery” cannot keep up. At present, I am also actively seeking ways to solve the production capacity.” Chen Xing first explained his difficulties, and then got into the conversation. Redirected:
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, I will provide you with 100 more "Thor Solid State Batteries" and 400 "Polymer Semi-Solid State Batteries" every month. If it goes up further, it will be It’s really hard to squeeze out.”
500 new energy batteries mean that SAIC can build 500 more cars every month. Even if a car only earns 10,000 yuan, there will be a net profit. 5 million, 5 million a month, which is a net profit of 60 million a year!
Jiang Ye also knew that Longxing Group not only provided power batteries to SAIC but also to other car companies. It was not easy to squeeze out 500 power batteries. He did not bargain and quickly thanked him.
"Then it's settled, thank you Mr. Chen for your help."
"Help each other, not to mention gratitude."
"Haha, Mr. Chen is such an open-minded person, then I won’t bother you anymore. Let’s sit down and have a chat later when we have a chance.”
“Okay, I’ll hang up the phone first.”
“Let’s talk back.” >
"Chat back."
After being polite, the two hung up the phone.
Chen Xing did not hesitate and immediately contacted Masike who was still in Shenzhen and asked him to come to Longxing Group's Bantian base.
……
Half an hour passed.
There was a knock on Chen Xing's office door.
"Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the girl at the front desk opened the door of the office. This time it was not just Masik, but also an accompanying lawyer.
In Long Country, the daily professions that wear suits and ties are either insurance, sales, or lawyers.
The easiest way to identify whether you are a lawyer is to observe.
The image can be modified, but the overall temperament cannot be changed, because the temperament will change with the change of environment.
For example, if a student is admitted to the official career, he will be given twenty years to hone his skills and be promoted. Twenty years later, just standing there, you will feel an invisible sense of oppression.
Money can support people, and so can the environment.
The fact is just as Chen Xing guessed. After simply shaking hands and saying hello, Masik said: "This is the lawyer I am looking for."
"Liu Wei, I have heard about Mr. Chen for a long time. "Da Ming, I really admire him when I see him today," Liu Wei said with great admiration.
"Welcome to Longxing Group."
Chen Xing nodded in response.
The three of them did not chat. After a few simple polite words, they went to the negotiation area together. Liu Wei took advantage of the situation and took out all the contract information and land certificates from the briefcase.
Masikna picked up the formal documents, put them in front of Chen Xing and said: "Mr. Chen, take a look. These are the approval documents for the Magic City Super Factory, as well as the proof of land purchase, and these other things. It’s the notarized document I made for the factory equipment.”
“Let me take a look.”
Chen Xing picked up the document and checked it carefully.
After struggling for so long, and due to his rebirth, his experience has long reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.
After confirming one by one, he put down the documents in his hand, looked at the waiting Ma Sike and said, "It's very different from what Mr. Jiang said. Do you have the workers' information documents?"
"Here."
Liu Wei handed it over quickly.
Chen Xing took the file and looked at it.
Statistical documents indicate that Tesla’s Magic City Gigafactory has a total of 7,844 workers and 402 managers. Distribution stores across the country adopt a subcontracting model, with only 4 regular employees in each store. Responsible for daily operations and personnel management, the overall base is not large.
“We have to close down a few 4S stores, otherwise the ineffective expenses will be too high.” Chen Xing looked at the contents of the document and murmured to himself.
Because he has laid out a nationwide sales network, and also established a car sales management center in Shencheng and Imperial Capital.
The car sales network in the north is handled by the management center in Imperial Capital.
The automobile sales network in the south is directly managed by Longxing Heavy Industry.
Although Chen Xing does not want to lay off employees, if he takes over all these sales, it will only increase the expenditure burden of Longxing Heavy Industry, which is detrimental to long-term development.
After reading the documents one by one, Chen Xing had a general understanding of Tesla's operating conditions and its distribution model.
Putting down the document, he looked at Masik again and said: "Yes, it's all within expectations, but let me say something ugly first. After signing the contract, I will pay 60% of the payment, which is 42 100 million, the remaining 2.8 billion will be sent to you after confirmation by a third-party professional asset review agency.”
“It will take some time, right?”
Masik asked.
Find a third-party professional review agency. Who knows how long the review will take, but you must know that he has to leave the Dragon Kingdom.
“Within half a month, I will inform you in advance of the name and qualifications of the third-party review agency. You can also propose a replacement, provided that the agency you propose to change is approved by me.”
< br>"No problem."
Masik nodded.
Seeing this, Chen Xing looked at Liu Wei and said, "Is there anything else you want to add?"
Liu Wei looked at Masik, who shook his head to express his stance. Then, he looked at Chen Xing and said: "No more."
"Then draw up a contract."
"Okay."
Both parties were very quick. Chen Xing called his lawyer up and made it clear what was needed. The supplementary terms will be printed directly.
Taking the contract document that had just been printed out and Yu Wen's, the lawyer of Longxing Group said: "The contract is in four copies. Our company and your company will each keep one copy, and the remaining two copies will be submitted to the approved third party by each party." The three parties will do the notarization."
Chen Xing and Ma Siike nodded slightly.
They have signed too many contracts. After confirming that the terms are OK, they sign, fingerprint, and finally stamp the official seal.
After all four contracts were signed, Masik asked Liu Wei to put away two, and then he stood up and said: "Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate."
The two shook hands and made peace.
There used to be conflicts of interest and they were on opposite sides. Now that Tesla is withdrawing from Dragon Kingdom, the relationship between the two has also been eased.
Of course, this is not a friend, it just moves the hostility to a neutral position.
"Then don't bother me, and go to Mr. Chen to arrange payment as soon as possible."
"Slow down."
Ma Xi Ke wanted to leave, but Chen Xing did not hold him back. The only relationship between the two was cooperation.
And Masik didn't expect Chen Xing to stay. After all, there was still a gap between the two. Even if Chen Xing invited him to dinner, he would politely refuse.
For Masik, the top priority now is to return to the Magic City and pay off the debt from the "Gambling Agreement" in advance.
Only by paying off the debt will Long Guo lift his restrictions on leaving the country.
……
After Masik left, Chen Xing handed a contract to a lawyer for notarization, and kept a copy for himself in the safe.
Immediately afterwards, he sent a message to his secretary, asking her to announce that Longxing Group would acquire Tesla’s Magic City Super Factory.
Since Longxing Group has been listed, it is no longer a private company, but a public company. Major business decisions, such as acquisitions, dividends, investments, etc., need to be disclosed to the outside world.
To put it bluntly.
Shareholders have the right to know. However, there is no way to avoid publicity. You only need to ask Chen Yapeng to borrow money from Longxing Group, and let him carry out acquisitions and investments without publicity.
Because Chen Yapeng borrowed money from Longxing Group, and the two were in a debt relationship, ordinary people had no way of checking what he was using the money for, as long as he could pay the interest due.
This method is not a panacea. It can only delay the announcement of the use of funds, because listed companies need to publish statements every quarter, which need to indicate the whereabouts of large expenditures, and then submit them to the audit agency for audit.
Ordinary people may not be able to understand the hidden details in financial reports, but professional financial institutions know how to follow the clues.
Night falls and the stars are shining.
It started to rain lightly in the deep city.
Anyone who has stayed in the rainy season in eastern Guangdong knows that the weather can change at any time, so it is best to bring an umbrella with you when going out.
Longxing Group Office Building.
The marketing department is still brightly lit.
As the "Tesla Magic City Gigafactory Acquisition Announcement Letter" passed the review of multiple departments, they also quickly sent the manuscript to the outside world.

Less than half a minute had passed since the manuscript was reviewed by the media platform and released to the public. The Internet was instantly boiling. Countless netizens wiped their eyes in disbelief.
[Stock Market Backbone]: "No, Longxing Group acquired Tesla's Magic City Super Factory? Is it possible that Masik has given up?"
[Mingjian Jiuzhou]: " It’s a big plus, a big plus! Tesla withdraws from the Longguo market, and Longguo Automobile rises!”
[Kuai Zai Kuai Zai]: "Hahaha, Masik actually threw in the towel. As expected, the price war still depends on our Dragon Country."
[Wind Stops Midsummer]: "It's better to leave the Dragon Country market as soon as possible. There are problems with Tesla’s single-pedal mode design, as well as driverless driving, and its vision is completely inferior to lidar.”
Since Longxing Group has been listed on the market, any disturbance of it will be paid attention to by a large number of netizens. Any breaking news will directly determine the future stock price.
This external announcement not only mentioned the significance of acquiring Tesla's Magic City Gigafactory, but also appropriately controlled future expectations.
What is stock trading?
expected!
Only when you give traders expectations, will they buy your stock.
Therefore, in the capital market, expectations can be divided into short-term, medium-term and long-term, which will directly affect stock price fluctuations.
The acquisition of the Tesla Magic City Gigafactory to ease the pressure on car production is undoubtedly a thing that is beneficial to the medium and long term.
With unprecedented attention, the entry "Longxing Group acquires Tesla's Magic City Gigafactory" was on Weibo's hot search list, with the number of viewers exceeding 10 million.
In less than five minutes, 10 million people watched. You can imagine how many people are paying attention to Longxing Group.
But this is normal. For a listed company and a leader in the technology sector, it is absolutely normal for it to attract market attention.
Although the stock market is not open at night, the futures market is trading.
The moment the news came out, the Golden Dragon Technology Index futures jumped straight up. Before a large number of short sellers could react, they were notified by text messages that they had to pay margins.
You must know that the futures market comes with five to ten times leverage. Even if it is a 0.5% fluctuation, the benefits and risks it brings are far beyond what the secondary stock market can match.
The straight-line increase exceeded 6%. Calculated based on the ten times leverage of the index, that is an increase of 60%. The short-selling airdrop was almost instantaneous, causing death and injury.
But this is also the charm of the capital market. You never know when the bad and good news will come. It may be in the next second, or it may never come.
After the Golden Dragon Technology Index futures soared, it also drove the weighted index and the Hang Seng Index. The three major index futures were like wild horses, galloping in the capital market.
Correspondingly, the Dow Jones Index, which was still trading, turned from rising to falling. Tesla plunged 19%, the largest decline in history. It also caused the Dow Jones Index to go from rising by 0.7% to fell 1.4%, and the entire manufacturing sector was brought down by Tesla's bad news.
If it were in the past, the news of Dragon Kingdom would not have reached the ears of traders so quickly.
But things are different now. After Longguo vigorously develops the financial industry, traders all over the world are paying attention to the changes in the Longguo market, especially the Golden Dragon Technology Index.
Capital is very sensitive, and they will react to any disturbance.
The another drop in rice stocks has made retail investors who originally "believed in the national destiny of the United States" begin to waver.
You must know that rice stocks are not like other stock markets. They focus on the market bottom, so once they fall, it may be an adjustment of 40%, 60%, or even 80%.
When the dot-com bubble burst in 2000, rice stocks experienced a correction of nearly 90% in three years, causing countless retail investors and institutions to lose their money.
Therefore, there is a consensus all over the world that once the rice stock market shows a downward trend, let it fall as much as possible and wait for the market bottom to form before trading.
The moment Renato Marotta, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, noticed the news, he immediately called Masik to ask why he wanted to sell the Magic City Super Factory to Chen Xing.
Faced with questions from senior management, Masik said helplessly: "I can no longer complete the "Gamble Agreement" with Magic City. If I don't cut my flesh in time, what awaits me may not be Magic City Super Factory. But the entire Tesla."
"..."
Renato Marotta fell silent.
He had no idea that things had become so serious.
The first person to be eliminated from Longguo’s car price war is Tesla.
If he had a choice, Masik didn't want to sell the car factory, but he really couldn't see any hope. BYD had already raised the price of the new car to 89,000 yuan.
Yes!
89,000 new cars!
In this extreme market situation, Tesla has no advantage.
If he chooses to carry on to the end, if nothing else happens, the entire Tesla brand will be owned by Longguo Capital.
Surviving with a broken arm became the only way out for Masik and Tesla.
After thinking about it, Renato Marotta also understood Masik's helplessness and said: "Then you can't sell it to Longxing Group."
"The key is that besides Longxing Xing Group, other car companies did not dare to acquire it. Although it was BYD, SAIC, Li Auto and other car companies that openly engaged in price wars with me, it was Longxing Group that actually promoted it. Chen Xing mastered the control of Longxing Car Co. I can only sell it to him.”
Masik continued to explain.
He must explain clearly to avoid unnecessary trouble.
After thinking deeply, Renato Marotta just sighed.
Since Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company and Frontier Technology and other Longguo technology companies went public, the United States and Longguo have been in an offensive and defensive situation.
Not only is the stock market in the United States falling, but the exchange rate of the US dollar is also falling.
The most important thing is that Longguo currency transactions have already appeared in the Middle East and Africa.
What does this mean?
In the past, you could go to any country in the world with U.S. dollars, even if they were not exchanged for the local currency, you could buy and sell them. It was a proper hard currency.
There is only the US dollar in the world, which can be recognized globally.
But things are different now. With the development of Longguo's technology, military and finance, coupled with the country's previous layout in Africa and the Middle East, Longguo currency is gradually emerging and becoming a new international security currency.
Stock prices and exchange rates can still rise, but currency recognition does not just rise.
Many traders have seen that the world situation is changing, and their positions in rice stocks are getting lower and lower. Buffett has also quietly cashed out all his shares in Bank of America and Apple, holding 40 billion in stock. Liquid cash.
You know, Buffett is a "hardcore fan" of Apple, and once held a position as the third largest shareholder.
His decisive reduction of holdings caused Apple's stock price to form a downward trend. Many Wall Street traders were selling rice stocks and investing their cash in the Longguo market.
……
Unlike the opening of champagne in the dragon capital market, the capital market in the island country can be said to be wailing constantly. The Nikkei 225 index futures have fallen and continued to fall after the resumption of trading.
Why is this happening?
First, affected by the sharp price cuts of semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresists, the semiconductor companies in the island country have fallen into unprecedented difficulties.
Japanese companies that provide semiconductor raw materials, such as Shin-Etsu Chemical Group, TOK Tokyo Onka, and JSR Co., Ltd., have all seen their performance plummet under the pressure of the Longxing Group, and their revenue has been cut in half. .
Anyone who knows the supply of the global chip industry knows that island countries have always been responsible for the supply of chip raw materials, that is, the supply of semiconductor silicon wafers and photoresist.
However, with the dominance of Longxing Group, which released 18-inch, 20-inch, and 22-inch 14N semiconductor silicon wafers and 10^20 photoresists, the 12-inch semiconductor silicon wafers and low-resistance photoresists of these Japanese semiconductor companies have already Can't get on the table.
Chip foundry companies around the world have chosen to vote with their feet.
Semiconductor companies have been hit hard, and automobile manufacturing companies have also been hit, leaving traders in the island country with no hope.
The most outrageous thing now is that Toyota Group is experiencing operational turmoil.
News such as the purchase of real estate, luxury cars, the chairman’s annual salary of over 100 million, and massive layoffs have made countless traders wonder whether the island country’s automobile industry will also follow in the footsteps of semiconductor companies.
The current world situation is completely opposite to what it was two years ago.
In the past, the world's economy was on the upswing, but only the Dragon Kingdom was in a state of deflation.
Nowadays, the world is experiencing economic deflation, but the Dragon Kingdom’s economy is booming and has great potential to surpass the United States and become the “financial leader”. (End of this chapter)
