Technological Supremacy Chapter 122: The moon is dark and the wind is high, the aggressive modern group!
An Ran hurried to Luo Jia's office and showed Luo Jia his tablet.
"This is the latest article from the French newspaper Le Figaro, even they have already started." An Ran said with a surprised look on his face: "It's really strange, we want to kill Samsung, how do they know ?”
Luo Jia took the tablet and looked at it. The French article probably meant this.
There is no future for AREVA to engage in small nuclear batteries. Looking at their Korean counterparts, they have even produced 400WH lithium batteries. Instead of wasting money, it is better to cooperate with South Korea as soon as possible.
At the end of the article, I urge the Prime Minister to visit South Korea, because in the fierce competition in the auto industry, the French PSA, that is, the Citroen Peugeot Group, and the Renault-Nissan Alliance, are already in a difficult situation. Fall into the abyss of eternal doom.
"In addition, OPEC also held an emergency meeting to discuss how oil-producing countries should respond if a new energy revolution breaks out. Judging from the meeting process, global oil players have fallen into panic."
"The latest quotation of Brent crude oil in the North Sea has dropped to forty dollars, while the high-sulfur Ural brand crude oil produced in Russia even fell below the thirty-dollar mark, and the New York crude oil barely held the thirty-two dollar mark."
"The stock market has gone crazy, Royal Dutch Shell, France's Total, BP, North American Chevron, these oil companies have fallen to historical lows, even the two major oil service companies, Schlumberger and Baker Hughes The stock price is also plummeting."
An Ran spoke at a rapid pace, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Luo Jia took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it, and took a deep breath. His back was also blowing cold.
As expected of some of the biggest hooligans in the world, Luo Jia never expected that they also saw the clues, and chose to kill them together with a tacit understanding!
The current situation is that Luo Jia originally wanted to try to trick them. It would be better if he could kill Samsung, and then go on stage and fight them hard.
However, with several big gangsters around the world taking action one after another, this round has been turned into a global murderous situation!
Of course, not everyone is as cunning as Britain and the United States, and the upright Germans stepped forward.
The German Federal Institute of Physics, ranked thirteenth in the world, said that the Korean technology has not yet been tested in actual combat, and they are skeptical about the 400WH lithium battery technology.
Fortunately, the Germans did not find that the Samsung battery was really defective. Instead, they questioned it with a rational and skeptical attitude.
Luo Jia sighed and stubbed out the cigarette, "It's not surprising that our country can see our intentions. As for the developed countries, you should have forgotten the UK. They are the most famous **** stirrers in the world. Without them , Europe has long been united."
"The wave of overseas rhythms was first led by the United Kingdom, and North America is an unyielding ally of the United Kingdom. As for France, they are also a big gangster. African countries are almost sucked dry by France, and even the currency is in francs. You said that France has no means, and the poor African countries will definitely not agree."
"As for Germany and Neon, it is estimated that Neon got the inside information from North America's father, but no one cares about Germany. North America wants to kill Germany's auto industry, and it's not like it's been thinking for a day or two."
"So you see, this is basically a chain of interests. Except for the upright Germans, everyone else is either a monkey spirit or has deep interests involved. In this world, no one can become a great power. .”
An Ran nodded again and again, deeply convinced of Luo Jia's judgment.
Luo Jia also said, "As for whether they dare to make such a big bet, I'm afraid they really dare, because the automobile industry is really big, and its annual sales are 5 trillion U.S. dollars!"
"Besides, after you buy a car, you need to maintain it. You need to do some interior decoration for the car. If the car is dirty, you need to wash it. After two years of driving, you need to replace the tires and other wearing parts, and you need to buy insurance. , this industry is too big, involving the employment of hundreds of millions of people.”
"The gangsters are not because of lithium batteries, but because of the entire automobile industry behind lithium batteries."
"So we only made a 300WH product and threw it on the market first to see the reaction. It can be regarded as asking for directions."
"Battery and automobile are two projects that need to be calm and see the right time. If you don't make a move, you will be right. Once you make a move, you will completely decide the outcome of the battle."
An Ran smiled wryly, "I understand, this is called a tree that is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it."
Luo Jia nodded, "So, before our real killer comes out, we must not be too much ahead of others, just a little bit ahead of them, and start the domestic electric vehicle industry first, charging piles and the like Supporting facilities have been built.”
"Then wait until the time is right, and directly use a big move to completely end the battle. Before that, it was all a tentative attack."
An Ran stared at Luo Jia, her eyes full of admiration.
In terms of IQ, An Ran is not afraid of anyone, but when it comes to vision and leadership, Luo Jia can beat An Ran.
Since the establishment of the company, every time the company enters an industry, Luo Jia will do in-depth research and long-term arrangements, and prepare more than one hole card to deal with emergencies.
There is still no exception this time. Luo Jia is right. Batteries will ultimately serve the car. Before the decisive battle, supporting facilities must be built, because without supporting facilities, it is not good to sell electric vehicles. use.
Looking out the window, Luo Jia said lightly, "Now, what should be done has already been done, so let us wait quietly for the reaction from South Korea."
......
South Korea, Seoul.
The meeting has been going on for three full hours, and it's time for dinner, so the meeting will be adjourned temporarily. Let's take a break and do some small things by the way.
Why make small moves?
Because the scale of the Korean Legion is too large this time, not only the top ten chaebols are all involved, but also a large number of upstream and downstream automobile companies, financial companies, and even candy sellers want a piece of the pie.
For such a large-scale group battle, consensus is needed to decide whether to put the new type of lithium battery into large-scale use.
At present, their opinions are seriously divided.
Some companies, represented by Samsung, refused to go public on a large scale because they had suffered losses in battery technology.
Another group of companies represented by Hyundai is eager to win the global auto market.
The adjournment time is the time for the leaders of the two factions to contact each other in private and win over the younger brother.
Lee Jae-yong of the Samsung Group and Chung Eui-sun of the Hyundai Group, where they can afford to eat, they keep looking for partners to negotiate terms, hoping to get more support.
Samsung Group has been bombed, and now there are almost no Samsung-branded mobile phones in the world, so they have always been careful.
Hyundai Group also has a good reason. Recently, Hyundai and Kia brand cars cannot be sold globally, and they urgently need new technology to inject vitality.
Originally, the largest market for Hyundai and Kia Motors was China, but since the THAAD incident, the national sentiment in the country has been on the rise, and they don’t like Korean cars.
Since then, Hyundai-Kia Group has been in trouble.
What does 400WH mean?
It means that the cruising range of pure electric vehicles can break through the 800-kilometer mark!
So Hyundai Group can't wait to sell electric cars all over the world tomorrow.
Originally, if the technology is in the hands of Samsung Group, Hyundai Group is useless. The key is that Samsung and LG jointly own technology, and LG President Koo Guangmo supports Hyundai.
South Korea accounts for seven of the top 100 auto parts companies in the world.
In addition to Hyundai Mobis, Hyundai Wia, Hyundai Powertech, Hyundai Kafik, Hyundai Dymos, the other two major parts suppliers are Mando Group and Hanon System Group.
In addition, Kumho Asiana Group, which makes tires, and Pohang Steel, which makes steel, etc., because their interests are closely related to the automobile industry, they are simply bare-chested and fully support Hyundai Group.
It can also be seen from this that South Korea, with a population of only 50 million, is actually not simple.
They not only own Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors, but also have seven companies that can enter the top 100 global parts and components companies, while in my country so far, there are only eight companies that can enter the top 100 list.
The one-and-a-half-hour break ended, and the two camps clashed fiercely again.
Lee Jae-yong of the Samsung Group raised his glasses, "This time the situation is unusual. After we announced the new battery technology, the Chinese news media rarely reported on a large scale, and the evaluation was positive. As a competitive Opponent, I don't think this is a good phenomenon."
Hyundai President Zheng Yixuan looked sternly, "You mean, North America and Europe are also in collusion with China?"
"How is this possible! All I know is that the whole world is crazy because of us! An era of electric vehicles is coming!"
Lee Jae-yong emphasized his tone, "Don't forget, our German counterparts have reminded us that battery technology must be handled with care, because it will involve safety issues!"
Zheng Yixuan snorted coldly, "Those stupid Germans, if they were really capable, the whole of Europe would have spoken German long ago! You actually believe them, but you don't believe in North America. You know, even Bell Labs I am also full of praise!"
The interesting thing about this matter is that, apart from Germany, the global public opinion is that South Korea will rule the lithium battery and automobile industries in the future, which gives the South Korean army great confidence.
If it was Luo Jia or Huaxia's power alone, it might not make them so crazy, but now that this new type of lithium battery comes out, the whole world is boasting.
It was a blast in South Korea, and the people took to the streets to march, demanding that since there is such a great battery technology, it should be put on the market immediately!
Why are Korean people so excited?
The reason is still on Luo Jia, because they were beaten badly by Xingchen Technology last year.
Samsung's mobile phones and displays are the pride of the entire Korean people. Continuously being bombarded by Star Technology~IndoMTL.com~The entire Korean society gritted its teeth because of this.
It's like a group of red-eyed gamblers. When people get excited, they tend to become stubborn.
All in all, surrounded by all chances and coincidences, the Samsung Group was finally pushed to the cusp.
Launch it, there is no 100% certainty.
Don't push it, the public and Hyundai don't agree, even LG wants to make a lot of money quickly, because Panasonic is likely to launch a similar level of technology soon.
The meeting went on all night.
In the end, they reached a compromise plan, temporarily not fully launching lithium battery products, but conducting large-scale testing.
How big is it?
The impatient Hyundai Group plans to assemble 3,000 pure electric vehicles of various models overnight and start a comprehensive test.
Assuming that Luo Jia knew the result, he might be a little disappointed.
Because this result is not the best, the best result is that Samsung took the risk and directly pushed lithium battery products.
But the Samsung Group is not a group of fools after all, they were in the final stage of the meeting, they were pressing each other to death, forcing Hyundai Group to give up the idea of directly launching products.
But insiders can still see that Hyundai Group made a rash mistake, and they ignored the risk of system integration.
Electric cars are completely different from mobile phones!
A car needs to install thousands or even tens of thousands of batteries. As long as any one of the batteries is abnormal, it may cause a serious chain reaction.
This is exactly why electric cars are so difficult to manufacture.
Not only must there be batteries, but also tens of thousands of batteries must be ensured. The discharge performance and charging performance are highly consistent, the operating temperature is consistent, and the anti-bump and anti-collision performance is consistent.
All of these add up to the electronic control system.
The technical difficulty of the electronic control system is actually higher than that of the battery system.
