Monster Factory Chapter 692: : See through the nail on the head
The video conference is not long, only tens of minutes.
The three giants informed each other about each other's situation. Martin and Raytheon Technologies president Bertram informed Bureau Chief Ackland in a worried tone. Plasma Battery has the potential of immense in the military and civilian fields.
At the same time, Bureau Chief Ackland also told them a piece of news that they could not get from normal channels.
Monster Industry collects rare metal element Dysprosium everywhere. Because of their actions, the Metal Dysprosium on the China side is already very tight. In the coming days, the market price of Metal Dysprosium will definitely increase significantly.
Metal Dysprosium?
Martin, the CEO of Tesla, is no stranger to this kind of metal. Bureau Chief Ackland is euphemistically telling them two points. If they also need this kind of metal for Company, they must quickly increase their inventory in advance.
In addition, Metal Dysprosium is definitely one of the important raw materials for Plasma Battery.
Martin is an expert in batteries, he knows that Metal Dysprosium is really needed in some special batteries. But the addition amount is not too much, merely plays a catalytic role in the material.
In fact, it is not difficult to determine the type of material of the Swift Thunder battery.
Take a few samples of the liquid energy storage materials inside, and use powerful adder mass spectrometry detection technology and spectrum detection technology to analyze all the material components in the liquid material.
In fact, this test has already been done. Tesla quietly purchased four Swift Thunder sample vehicles and shipped them to the headquarters. One of the Plasma Batterys was violently dismantled and taken for analysis.
However, after analyzing the results, Martin and the technical team fell into confusion.
Those materials cover the three major elements of metal, nonmetal. These substances have different melting points, and their reactions at room temperature are also different. But what finally appeared in front of Martin was a piece of Plasma Battery that became liquid and anomaly was stable at room temperature.
Tesla is already one step ahead of others and is working on copying the battery. The merely technicians collected these materials together. No matter what technology is used to process, it can only be a solid metal.
It can’t even store electricity...
Martin understands that Tesla is facing the biggest crisis in history.
Don't talk about Plasma Battery, even an intelligent assistant can hang them.
This feeling is indescribably bad. It's like an invincible cowboy who has been in the west for many years. Suddenly one day, an unknown junior shot him down in the front.
He didn't even have a chance to draw a gun, and the beautiful and hot girls around him were also robbed.
Crazy, depressed, aggrieved, outrage(d), and helpless.
They focus on Electric Car field for 20 years, but what about Monster industry?
I studied merely handily.
Whenever he thinks of the sales report submitted by the president of China last week, Martin has the urge to look for the Monster industry general award.
Last month, Tesla’s monthly sales at China dropped by 80% from the previous thousands of vehicles.
China is not Tesla's main battlefield, but it is Tesla's most valued high-quality potential market. This can be seen from the steady increase in sales in the past.
As China big cities have stricter controls on the number of fuel vehicles, Tesla has optimistically made market estimates. In the next three years, the China Tesla market will increase by 400%, becoming a special Sla's largest overseas market base.
Now this beautiful dream, in front of the ruthless fact, is like a beautiful soap bubble, bursting out with a bang.
After the meeting, Martin couldn't calm down for a long time. They haven't worked out any clues yet, but Monster industry actually wants release Remote Driving function?
The layman doesn't understand the meaning of this function, but Martin can show it and feel deeply afraid.
Thinking of this, Martin picked up the phone with some annoyance and called Gabler, the president of China region.
China should be night 10:00, Martin knew that the other party must have not slept. Sure enough, the call was connected before the third waiting tone sounded.
"Boss, what's your order?"
"Do you have more news about the Remote Driving function of Swift Thunder cars?"
"Boss, most of the China technology news and the Internet are showing unfavorable trends. Many people think that this feature is a bit of a taste, and it is technically impossible." The voice of China President Gabler The spirit, at the same time, doesn't care about this function and thinks it is a publicity stunt.
"Talk about your own opinion." Martin leaned back in his chair, his tone erratic.
"I’m not very optimistic about this feature, boss. Haven’t we also studied the upgrade version of Automatic Driving for assisted driving before? Although this feature has not been successfully developed for the time being, the assisted driving function of our Tesla car is in Swift Thunder Before it appeared, it was always World First."
"Today, the Remote Driving produced by the Swift Thunder car is like a compromised version of the Automatic Driving. They don’t have the technology to move all the electronic hardware required by the Automatic Driving to the Swift Thunder car. They use a remote connection in disguised form. Solve the problem."
"Then what do you think is the market outlook for Remote Driving?" Martin continued to ask.
"I personally feel that the prospects are very uncertain, because at present, Monster Industry adopts a mileage-based fee system for this function. Who buys a car, will waste money to save driving time? You can experience it at most This novel feature was subsequently not practical, and soon it was left in the cold and complained loudly."
"With this energy, it is better to study Automatic Driving. It is an intelligent assistant, which makes me feel the sense of crisis immense."
"Haha ~" Martin sat up straight again, with a hint of regret in his smile, "Gabler, your judgment has disappointed me a little. Is the sales falling like a cliff blinding your eyes?" /
Remote Driving, is a great idea that can be compared with smart cell phone. "
"If it can be achieved."
Gebler, president of China district, quickly lowered his posture and listened to Martin's words.
"You have to understand that Automatic Driving and Remote Driving are two unrelated technologies. The former is for the lazy use of drivers. Whether this feature does not affect the driving experience."
"The latter Remote Driving is actually for those potential consumers who do not have a driver's license."
"I ask you, how many people have a driver's license in China?"
"Three hundred million." Gabler said without hesitation.
"The problem lies here. We USA has a population of more than 300 million, and the number of people holding a driver’s license is over 200 million. But China has a population of 1.4 billion and only 300 million people have a driver’s license. There are 1.1 billion people without a driver’s license. ."
Martin’s voice became erratic again, “Of our USA population over 60 years old, nine out of ten hold a driver’s license. The remaining 100 million unlicensed persons are mostly minors. "
"But China, one hundred 50-year-olds, at most only ten have a driver's license."
"Dear Mr. Gabler, what do you think is the purchasing power of the middle-aged population of China?"
"Strong..."
"Not average strong."
Gebler convinced: "Aunt China is world-renowned for its ability to buy, buy, and buy. Among the young people of China who buy cars, 60% of them are paid by their parents, and the same is true for buying houses."
Martin grumbled in agreement: "This is the concept of my Remote Driving, no less than the reason for the smart cell phone."
"The core of Remote Driving is that Monster Industry assumes the responsibility of'drivers' and provides protection for those undocumented personnel. As long as the China government approves this project, that new, huge blank market that has never been opened will be Picked by Monster industry."
"I...I see, boss."
The voice of Gabler, the president of China district, has a trembling of fear, "As soon as this feature comes out, those who do not have a driver's license and would never consider buying a car before will also have the opportunity to buy a car. Monster Industry Transition from a remote professional driver to a remote-level computer driving. It is the perfect solution without increasing the cost of buying a car."
"Yes."
Martin paused, sighing: "The price of a Swift Thunder car with its own computer is destined to miss 99% of consumers and become a toy for the rich. It will also occupy a lot of car space. It consumes more energy than a car."
"The aging population of China who may not even be able to play with the smart cell phone is even less likely to be able to switch to a computer."
"The ambitions of the Monster industry are unimaginable. They don't plan to make toys. They want to change the way China people travel. They set their goal on a huge blank market that all of us have never thought of or dared to imagine. "
Martin hit the nail on the head and broke through the core elements that countless people could not see clearly, "Remote Driving not only solves the cost problem, but also completely solves the concerns of consumers. Because of a traffic accident, it will always be Monster industry. Responsibility, and paid by Monster Industry~IndoMTL.com~ I pray that they will not be able to complete this project within 20. I also pray that the China transportation department will push the lazy policy to the limit and will never approve this project!" Geb Le pious begging.
"I also hope..." Martin sighed, "Let's not discuss this yet, what is the current sales of our Tesla in China?"
"b...boss, last...didn't I just submit a sales report last week?"
"I want to know the new data this week after the sales report."
"One...no one." Gabler said in a sad tone: "In fact, last month, we were able to sell two hundred cars, all of them were customers who had already paid a 50% deposit and could not apply for a refund. This week, we did not have a new sales order..."
