Chapter 379 According to the Original Plan to Open up the Global Market, Chen Xing Signed a Gambling Contract with the Imperial Capital
"Crack-"
Chen Xing clicked the mouse with familiarity and clicked on the email content to view.
According to the content of the email sent back by Li Zhenzhen, on the day of the launch of Longxing mobile phones in the Peninsula market, the sales volume in the first hour was 600,000 units, and then decreased hour by hour, with a total of 2.74 million units sold in 24 hours.
“Far beyond expectations.”
Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh.
You must know that according to the official disclosure of the peninsula, their total population in 2014 was 50 million. This value excludes the old and young and takes the middle number, which is about 30 million young adults.
It is impossible for all of the 30 million people to change their mobile phones, so it will continue to be cut in half. In other words, only 15 million people are potential buyers of Longxing mobile phones.
This is not over yet. Due to the Korean Star Group's subsidies, a large number of users who are willing to change their phones have been consumed, and they have to continue to be cut in half, leaving only 7.5 million potential users.
It is worth noting that potential users are not necessarily purchasers, they are just consumer groups with the intention to purchase.
Adding up various data, Chen Xing predicts that the sales volume of the Peninsula market on the day of release will be about 1.4 million units.
Now, 2.74 million units have been sold, almost doubling the sales volume, which really exceeded Chen Xing’s expectations.
However, this can also show that people around the world recognize 5G high-speed networks.
Who wants to watch a video that appears to be loading?
Who wants to experience lag while playing games?
In a country like the Peninsula, where life is fast-paced and quality requirements are high, people are able to discern what consumption meets their needs.
"Mao Xiong and the Japanese and Korean markets have been opened, so the next step is to move to Southeast Asia and West Asia, and head west."
Chen Xing murmured to himself.
He has already planned the territory.
Eat the Asian market first, then march all the way to the west, and finally reach Europe, which is also the final main battlefield.
As for why such a route was drawn up, it was largely because Chen Xing wanted to see what Pou Ke would do to resist him.
He saw what Lee Jae-yong was doing, which was to seize users through subsidies.
But this is only limited to the mainland of the peninsula. If the international market uses subsidies, Korean Star Group will definitely not be able to bear it. After all, no one’s money comes from strong winds.
If it were on the mainland of the peninsula, as a chaebol, he would have many ways to obediently let peninsula users spit out their money.
"Crack-"
Chen Xing continued to click the mouse, then typed on the keyboard to reply: "According to the original plan to open up the global market, if you encounter difficult problems, stay in touch at any time."
"Ding!"
Mail sent successfully.
After replying to Li Zhenzhen, Chen Xing did not close his laptop in a hurry, but opened Weibo to check the hot search list.
Of course.
He is not focused on the entertainment industry.
He didn't have the slightest interest in star actors and actresses.
The so-called big melons are cheating, cheating, surrogacy, unspoken fans, and prostitution. I'm tired of seeing it.
The reason why Chen Xing pays attention to Weibo is that Weibo is currently the only public information platform that can obtain the needs of the people of Dragon Kingdom in a timely manner and the direction of future layout.
At this time, the top terms on the hot search list are about the "Asian Segmentation Act" and stock market finance.
After carefully checking the ins and outs, Chen Xing murmured to himself: "The return of funds is good news for Long Country."
The U.S. dollar interest rate hike has caused capital outflows, and now overseas capital is returning, which can definitely be called good news.
However, Chen Xing also has questions about why the U.S. Congress enacted such a bill. Doesn’t this force Asians to flee the United States?
Chen Xing would not guess things he couldn't figure out by himself. He believed that time would give the answer and he just had to wait quietly.
As the mouse wheel slid, Chen Xing found an inconspicuous hot search. The entry was "Tesla Magic City Road Test". The ranking on the list was 37. You might miss it if you are not careful.
Clicking on the entry, the first blog post is a video released by Tesla officials in the early morning. The number of likes has exceeded 50,000.
The video is not long, only ten minutes.
In the video, Tesla shuttles through the streets of Shanghai and during the evening rush hour after get off work. At the end of the video, the cost of running for a day is also shown.
The total electricity consumption for 475 kilometers is 77 kilowatt-hours, leaving room for the user’s imagination.
In the comment area below, some netizens have already begun to settle accounts.
[Da Mo Guyan]: "Traveling around for a day, 475 kilometers used 77 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Calculated according to the electricity price of 0.6 yuan in Shanghai, that is 46.2 yuan. This is a bit too much to save money."
[Above the Sea of Clouds]: "If a gas-powered car runs 475 kilometers, based on the fuel consumption of my Audi, which is almost 7 points, it will consume 33.25 liters of oil. Now 95# gasoline costs 6.6 yuan per liter, which is 219 yuan. It is too much to drive an electric car. Is it a good deal?”
[Wangwu Chudog]: “I have to say that Longxing Group CEO Chen Xing is still far-sighted. When he proposed the concept of electric cars, I didn’t believe it. Now that foreign brands are coming to Longxing, it really saves money to drive! "
[Distant Bagpipe]: "Based on the cost of using the car, I feel that fuel vehicles will definitely be eliminated. I will post this as evidence and look forward to being slapped in the face."
If Chen Xing’s talk about electric cars in his live broadcast is just talk on paper and a big pie, then the arrival of Masik’s Tesla is equivalent to confirming for Chen Xing that what he said is not false.
Electric vehicles are indeed cheaper than fuel vehicles in terms of vehicle cost.
And they didn't just talk about it on paper, they actually drove the car out and towed it to urban roads for actual testing.
Some people living in Shanghai can clearly feel that the city is being changed and a large number of charging piles are being built.
Chen Xing is a theoretical shock.
Masik is a practical shock.
Now both the public and car companies have felt the arrival of a new trend, which belongs to electric vehicles.
After briefly browsing all the blog posts on Tesla's official account, Chen Xing also put down the mouse and thought to himself: "To start the road test so soon, it seems that Tesla is really going to release it in the second half of the year."
Cars are no different than mobile phones. Mobile phones only need to be registered and submitted for inspection before they can be put on the market. Cars also need manufacturers to provide actual measured data in various aspects such as road tests, crash tests, and performance, which will then be verified by relevant departments.
It is understandable that the review is so strict. After all, vehicles are driving on the road, and there are countless passers-by on the road. If something goes wrong, it will be bad for innocent people.
"Ding dong——"
While Chen Xing was thinking about future plans, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Being interrupted from his thoughts, he did not continue to ponder, but closed the laptop and walked towards the door of the living room.
Rebus had just opened the door. He was wearing a dark shirt with a polo collar and a pair of dark blue jeans. Rebus was standing at the door. When Chen Xing opened the door, he smiled and said hello: "How are you? I'm used to living here." Bar?"
The imperial capital is located in the north, and the deep city where Chen Xing lives is in the south. The climate and altitude of the two regions will affect a person's condition, which is commonly known as being acclimatized.
"good."
Chen Xing responded with a smile.
The air in the Imperial Capital was a bit dry, but he could still adapt.
After hearing this, Rebus took out the Huoxiang Zhengqi water specially brought from home and said jokingly: "I was afraid that you would be acclimatized, so I brought you two bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, but it seems that you won't be able to use it. "
"Put it in the suite for me. Maybe I can use it one day."
Chen Xing was not polite either.
Acclimatization does not happen overnight. Symptoms may suddenly appear one day, and drinking a bottle of Huoxiang Zhengqi water can relieve them.
Of course.
It is best to go to the hospital to prescribe targeted medicine.
After receiving the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Chen Xing also placed it on the table of the suite, and Rebus followed him into the suite.
"By the way." Rebus sat down on the sofa and asked, "Didn't you say you came to the Imperial Capital to discuss the license plate matter? Is there any progress?"
"Um."
Chen Xing also sat down and responded: "I have talked with Dean Qin two days ago. I will have a meeting at ten o'clock. It is probably about electric vehicle licenses and city pilots."
"Then shall I go together?"
Rebus also wanted to take a look.
"If you are free, yes." Chen Xing did not refuse. Longxing Heavy Industry is a joint venture between three companies. Rice Company and Kunpeng Company are both strategic partners of Longxing Group, and Rebus is also qualified to negotiate.
"It's almost eight o'clock. Have you eaten yet?"
Rebus continued to ask.
"I just woke up not long ago." After Chen Xing finished speaking, he stood up and said, "It's really time to eat. I have to attend a meeting later."
Rebus: "Then you wash up first, I'll wait for you in the hotel restaurant."
"OK."
Rebus then left the suite, while Chen Xing simply washed up, and then went to the hotel restaurant for a simple meal.
After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, they were not in a hurry to compete with the migrant workers on the road. After all, it was morning rush hour.
It was almost nine o'clock before Rebus arranged for a vehicle and went with Chen Xing to the Academy of Dragon Science, where the meeting was held.
…
And at the same time.
Vehicles from the General Administration of Transportation and vehicles from several related departments have already set off, and they are also navigating the Imperial Dragon Academy of Sciences.
In the apartment of Long Academy of Sciences, Qin Long was cleaning up his image in the bathroom.
He put a lot of thought into setting up today's game.
Not only the two directors of the General Administration of Transport were invited, but also the leaders of the vehicle inspection, vehicle review, and listing registration departments. Since Chen Xing has stated that he will make Imperial City a pilot city for electric vehicles, the leadership team of Imperial City will also come to the scene. Attend meetings.
After confirming that the beard was clean and that there were no problems with his hair style and image, Qin Long also called Qu Cheng. After all, the Long Academy of Sciences was his home base, and he had to support two people to control the situation for him.
One after another, vehicles arrived.
At nine forty, Chen Xing and Rebus also arrived at the gate of the Academy of Dragon Science.
Because it is an important place in the country, the guard posts are not ordinary security guards, but active soldiers armed with guns and loaded with bullets.
When they saw the foreign vehicle, the two sentries cooperated tacitly. One made a stop signal and the other was on guard.
If there is anything unusual about the vehicle, the sentries on guard can shoot at any time.
"Longke Academy does not allow outside vehicles to enter without a reservation. What are you doing here?"
the sentry asked as was customary.
"My name is Chen Xing, and his name is Rebus. We were invited by Dean Qin Long to attend an internal meeting of the Academy of Dragon Science. This is our identity document."
Chen Xing handed over their IDs.
The sentry took the certificate and carefully compared the appearance of the two people. After confirming that it was him, he handed the certificate back and saluted: "Dean Qin has informed that all Chen Xing's vehicles will be allowed to pass. Welcome to Longke." hospital."
At the moment when the inspection sentry saluted, the door bar was raised.
"grateful."
Chen Xing nodded and thanked him.
The driver in charge saw this and drove towards the interior of Longke Academy.
When the vehicle passed by, the sentry on guard also saluted with a gun.
Following the signs of Longke Academy, Chen Xing's vehicle quickly arrived at the parking lot. Qu Cheng, who was wearing two big bags under his eyes but was full of energy, had been waiting for him for a long time.
Moreover, he was not the only one, there was also an old acquaintance waiting.
He is none other than Bai Yan, who is on loan at the Dragon Academy of Science and Technology as a bargaining chip. Today, he even had a greasy haircut, giving him an especially elite image.
The moment Chen Xing opened the door and got out of the car, the two of them took turns saying hello.
"It can be said that Chen Xingqian is here."
"President."
When Chen Xing saw two familiar faces, he smiled and said hello: "Mr. Qu, Chief Bai, I've kept you waiting for a long time."
"Where is it? We just arrived not long ago."
"Yes, just arrived."
The two responded quickly.
Although it might be a lie, Chen Xing had no need to expose it. Instead, he looked at Bai Yan and said, "How are you? Are you under a lot of pressure during this period?"
When he was loaned out to Longke Academy, he was responsible for the architecture design of Beidou chips. The two had not seen each other for almost half a year, but they still kept in touch on WeChat.
"good."
Bai Yan responded with a smile.
Even if he wasn't used to it, he wouldn't be able to say it in front of Qu Cheng.
After chatting with Bai Yan for a while, Qu Cheng looked at the time and said, "The conference room is still some distance away from here, why don't we go there first?"
"OK."
"Then it's up to Mr. Qu to lead the way."
The group of people followed Qu Cheng and walked along the green path of Longke Academy.
Like many domestic R&D bases, the interior is surrounded by green plants, and entering the interior feels like returning to nature.
Near ten o'clock in the morning, Chen Xing and others also came to the door of the conference room. Because everyone was not there, the door was not closed.
When Chen Xing, Rebus, Qu Cheng, and Bai Yan appeared at the door, all eyes in the conference room turned to everyone at the door.
Qin Long, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up and welcomed Chen Xing and everyone: "Chen Xiaoyou and Mr. Lei, don't stand at the door anymore. Come on, come on, everyone, hurry up and take your seats."
"Dean Qin, long time no see."
Chen Xing has no stage fright.
Although the men and women in the conference room are all important figures, they are not just ordinary people. They all come with chips.
"Haha, long time no see. Come and sit here." Qin Long glanced at the seat next to him and gave Chen Xing enough face.
The position of the conference table is also very knowledgeable. People usually do not sit opposite the main seat, because their high status cannot overwhelm the main person.
Near the two sides of the main seat, the left side is larger and the right side is smaller. These two positions are where the second and third largest people at the conference table should sit. The less important the participants, the farther away they need to sit. The farther away the theme is.
At this time, a middle-aged woman with short ear-length hair and sharp eyes was sitting in the first place on the left. It was obvious that she was the second most important person in this conference room.
"Thanks."
Chen Xing was not polite to Qin Long and sat down in the empty seat on the right.
As soon as he sat down, the middle-aged woman opposite Chen Xing said, "Are you Chen Xing, the boss of Longxing Group?"
"Yes." Chen Xing nodded and responded: "The king has known his name for a long time. I am honored that you know him."
When he came to the Imperial Capital to talk about the urban pilot program of electric vehicles, he did not just do it recklessly, but he made the decision after understanding the specific situation and understanding the corresponding people.
Wang Fang was not surprised that Chen Xing knew her information. If she wanted to know who she was, she could just search on Baidu and find out.
"I heard that your Longxing Group is coming to the Imperial Capital to conduct a pilot project of electric vehicles. Do you want us to prepare a new license plate for you?"
Wang Fang got straight to the point.
"Ahem." Qin Long coughed twice, indicating that the meeting hadn't started yet.
From just a few sentences, it can be seen that Wang Fang has a strong personality. After Chen Xing caught this, he did not respond in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the people who had not yet taken their seats and said, "Take your seats first. We have to close the door and talk first." ”
Rebus, Qu Cheng, and Bai Yan found their seats and sat down. The door of the conference room was closed. Qin Long also gave Chen Xing a "continue" look.
After receiving the "chief"'s permission, Chen Xingcai responded to Wang Fang: "Yes, we plan to do a pilot project in Shenzhen City and the Imperial Capital first. At present, Shenzhen City has reached an agreement."
In addition to responding to Wang Fang, his words also expressed that the imperial capital was not the only city for the pilot. If it disagreed, Longxing Group could still go back to Shenzhen to test electric vehicles.
The most feared thing in negotiations is uniqueness, which means there is no choice.
If you have alternatives, the difficulty of negotiation will plummet.
As expected, Wang Fang frowned slightly and said again: "We have no problem with the urban pilot, but I think we need to further discuss the new car license plate."
"Shortage?"
Chen Xing asked.
"That's right." Wang Fang didn't hide it, and responded directly: "The imperial capital is extremely short of license plates. Many locals can only hang out license plates. We simply can't come up with so many license resources. I hope Mr. Chen can understand this."
Just after she finished speaking, she added: "Of course, I still support the introduction of new license plates for electric vehicles."
What she wanted to express was obvious, that is, Longxing Group could be allowed to come to the Imperial Capital for a pilot project, but without the support of a new energy license.
But this is understandable, because the traffic volume in the Imperial Capital is too heavy.
If there is no restriction on numbers or plates, let alone traffic jams during morning and evening peak hours, it is estimated that there will be congestion from time to time during normal times.
This is also why some people can't get a number after seven or eight years of lottery, but some people can get a number and sell it for money.
This is true scarcity, not intentional hunger marketing.
However, Chen Xing did not want to give in, and smiled and said: "Mayor Wang, please don't rush to a conclusion. How about we follow the example of Magic City and Masik and sign a gambling agreement?"
"What bet?"
Wang Fang became interested.
"What is this kid planning again?" Qin Long thought to himself.
Others in the conference room were also interested in it, but they were also confused as to what kind of medicine Chen Xing was selling in his gourd.
"Let's bet on the future of electric vehicles." Chen Xing finished his words and explained: "The air quality in the Imperial Capital is notoriously bad, and there are smog and haze weather from time to time. It is your task to save energy, reduce emissions, and improve the environment. Bar?"
"If electric vehicles can completely replace fuel vehicles, it will not only promote the development of local automobiles in Dragon Country, but also achieve energy conservation, emission reduction, and improve smog. Why not?"
As Chen Xing expressed his thoughts, everyone in the conference room looked at each other, and Wang Fang also fell silent, thinking about this issue.
As Chen Xing stated, energy conservation, emission reduction, environmental management, and reducing smog are tasks that the imperial capital needs to overcome in the near future.
But the question is, are electric cars reliable?
She had heard that lithium batteries are prone to explosion and spontaneous combustion. When she learned that Chen Xing was coming to discuss urban pilot projects, she inquired with the Magic City authorities, who made it clear that even if Tesla's lithium batteries encountered violent collisions, It can also catch fire spontaneously and burn very quickly.
This is the case with foreign vehicles. Can the quality of domestic vehicles be guaranteed?
This is not because she worships foreigners, but because she knows how to face the gap. In the automotive field, Longguo is indeed inferior to foreign car companies.
"I'm more worried about safety. You know the population of the Imperial City is relatively..."
Before Wang Fang could finish her words, Qin Long interrupted her and said, "Are you worried about this? Tell me earlier. Last time Academician Qu and I visited Longxing Group, we had a complete look at their solid-state battery tests. very safe."
"Yes."
Qu Cheng echoed.
Chen Xing also came prepared. He took out the USB flash drive he had prepared and said, "This is the battery test video we recorded. If Mayor Wang is worried about safety, you can take a look."
When the secretary standing in the conference room heard this, he immediately took the USB flash drive and inserted it into the screen projection computer.
Not a moment.
The test video is broadcast.
Falling from high altitude.
Steel needle puncture.
Squeeze hard.
After several projects were demonstrated, exclamations came from the conference room.
"Is this a solid-state battery?"
"It's amazing. It's 3cm deep when squeezed in, but it hasn't spontaneously ignited yet. This is different from what we learned."
"With this kind of solid-state battery, electric cars might actually be possible."
"By the way, Mr. Chen." Suddenly, a middle-aged man asked: "I watched the replay of your last live broadcast. You said that you can run seven or eight hundred kilometers on a single charge. Is this true?"
"No!"
Chen Xing shook his head.
Just when everyone thought that Chen Xing's original propaganda was false, he changed the subject and said: "Now it's more than seven or eight hundred. It is conservatively estimated that it can reach a thousand kilometers."
"hiss--"
Several gasps came from the conference room.
Can you run thousands of kilometers on a single charge?
What kind of car is this?
Is this still a car?
Even Rebus couldn't help but gasped, and exclaimed in his heart: "I didn't expect that Longxing Group's battery technology has reached this point, a thousand kilometers. Isn't this inappropriate to scorn Tesla?"
Qin Long and Qu Cheng looked at each other, both seeing the other's surprise.
This man changed the landscape of smartphones, and may soon change the landscape of cars again.
Wang Fang was also surprised. She also knows a little about cars, and she likes to go on self-driving trips during her annual vacation.
It can run a thousand kilometers on a single charge. This perfect technology is crushing the West!
After a brief hesitation, she also gave in and asked, "How do you want to bet?"
After saying these words, Chen Xing knew that there was still room for negotiation on the new energy license in Imperial City, and he immediately said what he was thinking:
"I hope that the new energy license in Imperial City will be fully liberalized. At the same time, I will lend you 30 billion yuan for urban construction such as charging piles and sales channel construction..."
