Chapter 135 Things are starting to change, there is no Europe and North America! (1)
According to the schedule, the next morning, six strategic partners in the plateau and automobile fields held a video conference.
Due to the great relationship, other strategic partners of Kunlun Company also came to watch, and after a while, they evolved into a strategic partner meeting.
Sitting in his office, Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Everyone should know the important news announced by the national team yesterday, right?"
Looking at Gao Yuan, he saw that everyone nodded repeatedly. Mr. Zhu of Changan Group successfully put his bag in one go and turned into the leader of the Chinese automobile industry. At this moment, he showed a bit of heroism and excitement.
Gao Yuan said: "Then let us warmly welcome Mr. Chen from Wuling Group, a new strategic partner in the automotive field!"
The picture flashed a few times, and a new window popped up, in which was a middle-aged man with sparse hair, wearing black-framed glasses.
"Hello, Mr. Chen!"
“Welcome to the Solid-State Battery Vehicle Alliance!”
"My wife likes your car the most."
Everyone greeted him warmly, and Mr. Chen made a few words of humility and politeness. These bosses from all walks of life started chatting with each other. The topic was naturally inseparable from the major reshuffle of the automobile industry.
"There are no such inside information." The boss Zhu of Chang'an Group smiled and said with a smile: "It's just that he takes himself too seriously and at the same time he doesn't take Boss Gao seriously, which leads to a tragedy."
"In recent times, Boss Gao has entered Beijing four times in a month. He has discussed the issue with the superiors very clearly. As a result, he couldn't see the situation clearly. He forced the palace with those foreign companies. Foreign companies lowered prices and made trouble, and they also made trouble. Isn't this obvious turning of the elbow? The superiors were anxious at the time! It's okay for others to forget about it, you are the number one group! Even you are doing things randomly, should you still lead this team in the future? "
So that's how it is...
Everyone nodded repeatedly, and secretly made up their minds to learn from them in the future.
"Okay, let's talk about it later. Since we can gather here today, we will be partners who support each other in the future." Gao Yuan said in a deep voice: "It was just a meeting in the automotive industry, but I think there are some things that we still need to explain clearly, so we found everyone."
After hearing what Gao Yuan said, everyone became serious.
Geely's boss Li asked curiously: "No, in the future, we really have to give up the overseas market and turn our focus back to China, right?"
Geely's Volvo brand has huge sales overseas. If the alliance really decides to give up the overseas market, it will obviously have a huge impact on it.
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Boss Li misunderstood. It is not that we give up the overseas market, but that we actively choose a new strategic direction."
A new strategic direction?
Everyone was suspicious.
The plateau adjusts the lens to aim it at the huge world map in your office, "Look, there are more than 200 countries and regions in this world, and the West is only part of the world, not the whole world."
"Take solid-state battery vehicles as an example. It is not a separate project. Selling cars is not enough. Our ultimate goal is to sell energy and photovoltaic power stations!"
"The problem now is that when we marched to the West, we encountered strong obstacles. Not to mention buying photovoltaic power stations from us, they don't even want solid-state battery cars."
"The West is strictly guarding us for fear of impacting their market. Since that's the case, why should we put our hot face on others' cold butts? They don't want to buy it, and we don't want to sell it yet!"
"So I plan to put it aside first and focus on building the domestic market. If I still have enough energy, I will put it in the Asian and African markets, and strive to go overseas with cars and photovoltaic power stations!"
Everyone was silent. The decision to leave the Western market was not easy, and everyone was hesitating.
But they were eventually convinced by the plateau. The forced melon is not sweet. The world is big, and the West is not the whole world.
"There is another thing. When are you planning to clear out your joint venture shares?" Gao Yuan asked.
Mr. Chen of Wuling Group said seriously: "On April 19, 2018, the country announced that it would allow overseas automobile companies to operate solely in China."
"Then on May 13, 2020, Beiqi Group officially withdrew from Beiqi Debenz. At this point, Mercedes-Benz became the first wholly foreign-owned car company in China."
"The case of Beiqi and Mercedes-Benz breaking up can be used as our reference. It is certain to part ways, but it will take some time. I believe it will be able to be completed in at most half a year."
...
North America, Western Automobile Alliance.
"We are very embarrassed now." The representative of Volkswagen Group said in great anger at the meeting: "We pushed the price to the bottom in one go, guarded the enemy strictly, and waited for the Chinese electric vehicles to attack, but now they are not coming!"
"What should we do? If the price rises back, consumers will definitely not agree. If the price does not increase, there will be no profit at all. The huge group operates day and night, and the profit is not enough to buy a hamburger. What are we trying to do?"
Alas ~
Everyone sighed, "It's hard to live now and the landlord's family has no surplus food."
Volkswagen has calculated that companies such as France Citroen and Italy Fiat have already fallen into huge losses and have to rely on layoffs to save the crisis.
"Did you find out?" The representative of Toyota Group tapped the table with his fingers. "Any industry with Chinese people involved will eventually become very tragic. As far as I know, before our automobile alliance, the chemical fiber and tire industries also entered a half-dead state."
Everyone smiled bitterly. They also knew about the things that happened in the chemical fiber and tire fields. Take the tire giant Goodyear as an example. They eventually relied on low-price strategies to retain part of their market share, but at the same time, they lost all profits.
In this way, the scene is more awkward. Continuing to build tires does not make money, and it may even lose money. Not building tires means actively giving up the market.
This is really a dilemma.
In the first round of war, the plateau did not kill all the opponents, but it also made them worse than death.
...
News of the major integration of China's automobile industry soon spread all over the world.
This is of course a big event. After this round of strong industrial restructuring and foreign capital clearance, China has a production capacity of 28 million vehicles per year, of which about 20 million vehicles, and eventually belongs to the solid-state battery vehicle alliance led by Kunlun Company.
The eight million vehicles are divided into the production capacity, including foreign capital who refuses to withdraw shares, and some of them are behind their own production capacity and need to be eliminated immediately.
In short, China's current production capacity of 20 million is quite high, and it is a real combat power. Sixty percent belongs to the national team and forty percent belongs to private enterprises.
However, for the Western melon-eating crowd, they talked about the most about it was not industrial integration, but a 180-degree change in the attitude towards the West during live broadcast of the plateau.
"What's so awesome? Isn't it just a solid-state battery car? Since my grandfather's grandfather, our family has been a loyal customer of Ford."
"In our Ohio area, trams are not working well, so tough guys should drive pickup trucks! Eight cylinders!"
"Who will those Chinese guys scare you if they don't sell solid-state battery cars to the West? Just don't even want that shabby thing!"
"Long live the German quality!"
"Germany is the king of machinery!"
In general, whether it is Red Neck in North America or Ansa in the European continent, they all think the plateau is annoying.
Gaoyuan said that he would not sell solid-state battery cars to the West in the future, unless he added money, would undoubtedly be a provocation and seriously hurt the pride of Westerners.
However, within a few days, things began to change.
