Chapter 353 Musk: Here comes the wolf! Do you want to ask him?
When Wang Sicong and Qin Fen fought over and scratched the car, Vice President of Sales Dong Yuan told Chairman Mu Yang the specific situation.
After hearing the detailed process, Mu Yang couldn't help but laugh for a while, and couldn't help but admire: "These two rich men are competing against each other. They don't take money seriously at all."
"Yeah, it scared me a lot."
Dong Yuan was really frightened. Now after hearing the chairman's reaction, he wasn't angry. Instead, he laughed for a while and asked respectfully, "Chairman, will you sell that car to him?"
"Tell me about it."
Dong Yuan knew that the chairman was testing him, and he had already prepared it. He analyzed it and said: "Actually, my 6.66 million is a small matter. I value the impact of this matter more. I believe there will be relevant hot news reports tomorrow. I want to continue to ignite
The topic of Hummer EV actually added fuel to our fire. The news value is far more than 6.66 million yuan.
I roughly checked the identities of Qin Fen and Wang Sicong. They are not ordinary people. If Qin Fen gets this car, he will be the first Hummer EV person in the country. He can help us promote it, which is equivalent to recognizing this car.
car. There will be media tracking the use of this car and constantly creating topics.
If it is not sold, there will be some people who think so, showing the strong character of our Xinghai Group and not disdain the money at all;
Of course, some people will think that there is something wrong with our car and they don’t want to sell it.
Generally speaking, it would be better not to sell it."
"Well, your analysis is quite accurate. Okay, let's do what you said. There's nothing wrong with the car, but it's definitely a little different from the batch car. Let's make it clear to them. We don't want to cheat them of their small money." Mu
Yang doesn't think the problem is big, Borg is a stupid thing, and the four words "Xinghai Group" mean Borg.
"Okay, I understand how to do it."
Mu Yang hung up the phone. He was thinking about whether to build a production base in China.
According to today's registration, there are already two to three hundred potential customers who are interested in buying. This number is very large. Many car companies sell cars at auto shows. Million-level cars sell hundreds of cars, not to mention 10,000.
Selling more than a dozen cars is considered too much.
The next day.
The incident of Qin Fen and Wang Sicong snatching a car at the auto show really made the hot news.
"On the means of car snatching: I am the best at car scratching"
"It's nothing to spend a lot of money to get a child, but it's a new trick to spend a lot of money to get a car"
"Shanghai Auto Show: Are rich people so willful when buying cars?"
"Wo Cao, Rich Second Generation Electric Vehicles Picked Up in 6.66 Million Seconds at Shanghai Auto Show"
"Two rich and second-generation people are crazy about stealing cars at a car show, and the ending is very sad?"
"Master Wan and the mysterious master stole a car at a car show and were tortured to tears, there are pictures and the truth"
If you just read the title, you will definitely be misunderstood.
Maybe the content of the article is not related to the title at all. It may be an introduction to a certain book or a certain brand of car.
Anyway, for the sake of money, the lower limit of professional quality of some editors can be negative.
The content of most articles is relatively reliable. For example, one article reported: "At the 2012 Shanghai Auto Show, an interesting incident happened that shocked the auto show.
Wan Dagong Wang Sicong and Qin Fen fought for a show car. At the auto show, the public went to war, bidding from 3 million to 6.66 million. There were pictures, the truth, and videos, which made the crowds think something unexpected.
, two rich second generations just want an electric car.
This electric vehicle is the Hummer EV that has been in the hot news recently.
In the end, the mysterious master Qin Fen came up with a trick, using his "smart" methods to gain control of the car, paying 6.66 million yuan.
Note that it may not be sold at car shows.
These days an electric car is worth nearly 10 million. If Qin Fen hadn’t resorted to scraping and snatching cars, he might have sold over 10 million by betting on the car.
Maybe the other party's 10 million is about the same as ordinary people spending a hundred dollars. If you come across something you like, you don't care about the extra hundred dollars.
Fighting in public is no longer about money, but about face.
However, having said that, what is so special about this Hummer EV that makes two rich second generations openly compete with each other.
First, look at the data chart to understand Hummer EV in seconds.
The appearance is domineering and attractive, the interior is exquisite and luxurious, the advanced electronic control and automatic driving, the novel configuration has a sci-fi feel, the 3.2 seconds to start from 100 kilometers away kills most supercars, and the size of 5.5 meters long and 2.2 inches wide kills all SUVs, just one
With a million dollars, you can have a different experience, the space of an SUV, the starting speed of a supercar, the comfort of a coupe, the passing performance of an off-road vehicle, the appearance of a concept car and sci-fi electronic control, countless top technologies gathered here
A car is very disruptive, it is a crossover car.
Thousands of spectators gathered at the scene to watch this, which is a manifestation of hard power. I believe that all car companies have panicked."
News reports of 6.66 million requests for an electric car are still popular in the automotive industry. This number is not 669, but just "666", which is very representative and makes this matter even more special.
…
Beautiful country, Silicon Valley, California.
Tesla Corporation.
Musk convened a meeting with senior management and an expert group. At the meeting, he looked grave and opened the PPT to explain:
"Gentlemen and ladies, let me tell you a very bad news. This is the data of the Hummer EV at the Shencheng Auto Show in China. The three-electric technology it uses is very powerful, and it is self-developed by its parent company, Xinghai Group.
of.
Maybe some people don’t know Xinghai Group. Xinghai Group is known as a black technology company in China. Its welding machine technology, fiber lasers, and aluminum alloy automotive panels are among the top in the world.
Mu Yang, chairman of Xinghai Group, announced at yesterday's auto show that many of the independently developed electric vehicle technologies have reached the world's first level.
At present, there is no technology that can match Xinghai Group's Sandian technology. Our batteries and motors are all outsourced. In comparison, Xinghai Group's similar products are indeed much ahead, and they are not even of the same grade. So,
Mu Yang said that their technology is the best in the world, so they have that qualification.
If Xinghai Group Automobile enters the field of cars and sports cars, it will cause a very big blow to Tesla.
We can see the future of electric vehicles, and Mu Yang of Xinghai Group can also see it. He also pointed out that the ecology of electric vehicles is a future concept, which shows that people are looking very far ahead.
Our first Model S electric sports car is about to be produced, and the model has been decided. But now that something like this has happened, the situation is very bad."
While Musk was explaining the PPT and comparing the parameters of Hummer EV and Model S, everyone felt uneasy.
There are three models of Model S. To compare the high-end models of the two brands, the Model S has 422 horsepower and the three-motor Hummer EV has 830 horsepower.
The former accelerates to 100 kilometers in 4.4 seconds, and the latter takes 3.2 seconds. Who is the sports car?
The former has a range of 502 kilometers, and the latter has a range of 800 kilometers;
The Model S does not have the Hummer EV's automatic parking, parking radar, uphill assist, lane keeping, voice control and other sci-fi functions. In terms of electronic control and autonomous driving, it is directly beaten by the Hummer EV.
There is no need to compare anything else.
Now that Tesla has announced the parameters of the Model S, now comparing the parameters of the Hummer EV, Musk feels like a clown even though the Hummer is more expensive.
Tesla was listed on Nasdaq on June 29, 2010. The IPO price was US$17. Now it fluctuates around US$35, with a market value of about US$3.5 billion.
But the Hummer EV has just been released, and the stock market has just opened today. The company's stock price has plummeted, already down 8.1%, which shows that the market is not optimistic about Tesla. Some time ago, various economic media reports were still optimistic about Tesla.
People who are interested in sports cars will not buy off-road vehicles, but Musk sees that the future situation of electric vehicles is not very good.
"It is impossible to expect Xinghai Group not to enter the field of sedans and sports cars. We plan to officially deliver the Model S in early June. Although the two brands have different vehicle positionings. Ours is a sports car and Hummer is an off-road vehicle, but future orders will definitely be affected.
What I am most worried about is Xinghai Group’s technology. If we grant relevant technologies to other car companies or make our own competing cars, we will not be competitive.” Musk expressed his worries, “If you have any suggestions, please tell us.
look."
Next, company executives and experts analyzed Xinghai Group’s technology and expressed their personal opinions.
"Musk, maybe Xinghai Group will not enter the supercar field. We can cooperate with Xinghai Group to purchase their batteries, motors, and even electronic control systems."
"In other words, we can invite Xinghai Group to join the strategic team. This can solve the problem and we will develop better. I believe other shareholders will support this resolution."
Musk has repeatedly considered everyone's opinions and prefers to seek cooperation. This is not impossible. There is no benefit in insisting on fighting. Tesla needs to develop, but it has not yet achieved profitability.
After thinking about it, Musk said solemnly: "I will seek the opinions of other shareholders first. If there are no opinions, I would like to go to China and visit Mu Yang in person."
He hopes everything goes well, otherwise, future development will be much more difficult.
Tesla, Yadi and other car companies saw a crisis from the Xinghai Group's auto show.
Just like Nathan from General Motors, he may also see the crisis, but he will not admit it. He does not want to admit defeat.
He publicly stated: "The Hummer EV looks good, but it is just a prototype. It is difficult to say whether it can be mass-produced."
But for some people who are not familiar with the situation, they are not as anxious as Musk and others. They support Nathan's point of view. It is not so easy to mass-produce the Hummer EV.
Many prototype cars have constant problems, and it took two or three years to correct them. This situation is very normal.
There are also some car reviewers who commented: "Even if the Hummer EV can be mass-produced this year, its price position is very high and it is not affordable for ordinary people. It is very difficult to sell 50,000 units per year."
Therefore, the possibility of Mu Yang losing to Nathan is very high.
It's just that Mu Yang's chance of winning has increased from impossible to 30%.
