Chapter 584: Porcelain as a Gift, the Whole Country's Strength!
Since it was a live conference, Chen Xing's words were also spread through TikTok, YouTube and other international platforms.
When Renato Marotta, who was far away in Washington, USA, heard about Longguo's next plan, his expression suddenly changed, his hair stood up, and he swallowed unconsciously.
"Use cheap electricity to knock on the tariff door of BRICS and ASEAN countries for new energy vehicles, and further expand the global market share of new energy vehicles..."
"Where does Longguo get so much electricity?"
Renato Marotta was puzzled.
You know, the main way of human power generation is thermal power generation, and clean energy accounts for less than half.
According to Chen Xing, Longguo seems to be supplying electricity to BRICS and ASEAN countries collectively. Such a huge amount of electricity, even if there are more coal mines in Jinxi Province, can't meet such a huge power output, right?
Renato Marotta was puzzled, or should I say completely confused.
Not only Renato Marotta couldn't figure it out, but also other senior officials who were watching the live broadcast around the world couldn't figure it out.
One country supplies electricity to more than 20 countries, and it is cheap electricity. Even if the tariffs on new energy vehicles are exempted, it seems that this account is a loss-making business.
However, at Ford Motor Group, the major shareholder behind the scenes, Hubert Ford, was completely defeated and cursed while watching the live broadcast on his mobile phone:
"Shit!"
"Chen Xing is going to ruin us!"
His sudden curse also made the two partners beside him react. They also stood up and began to curse Chen Xing.
"This damn bastard, he wants to completely squeeze the living space of fuel vehicles. Longguo wants to destroy the fuel vehicle market!"
"Fuck Longguo, fuck Chen Xing!"
Others are considering the power supply problem of Longguo, and as an automobile group, they naturally consider the fuel vehicle market.
At this stage, fuel vehicles are completely beaten by new energy vehicles in terms of interior, performance, price, and cruising range.
Why can new energy vehicles completely crush fuel vehicles?
1. Simple structure.
2. Price advantage.
3. No patent wall.
Perhaps many people don't know how simple the structure of new energy vehicles is. Let's put it this way. If you buy a toy car worth 20 yuan, disassemble it, and draw a picture of the internal structure, you will get a simple internal picture of a new energy vehicle.
But what about fuel vehicles?
The engine, gearbox and exhaust layout in front of the car alone are dazzling, and maintenance is extremely cumbersome.
As for the price advantage, the heart of new energy vehicles is lithium batteries, while the heart of fuel vehicles is the engine.
The market price of lithium materials required for lithium batteries is not high, and the manufacturing difficulty is relatively low.
Even countries with a national strength of dozens of places behind can make lithium batteries, but engines are different. Even Longguo cannot make engines alone.
As for the final patent wall, the patents for fuel vehicles accumulated by developed countries such as Germany, Japan and the United States can be stacked up to hundreds of meters high, which is not an exaggeration.
Because the patent wall is airtight, it restricts the development of fuel vehicles.
This also explains why, after the advent of pure electric vehicles, seat heating, car refrigerators, and rear screens that were originally only available in fuel luxury cars can now be found in new energy vehicles costing hundreds of thousands of yuan.
"We must make changes immediately. The impact of new energy vehicles will be so fast that it is unimaginable." Hubert Ford made a decisive decision.
He thought that according to the current market share of fuel vehicles, a complete reshuffle would take at least 20 years.
But Longguo did not seem to want to be so slow, which made Hubert Ford feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.
He knew very well that if it were not for the tariff restrictions of the United States and the lack of full popularization of charging piles in various states, Longguo's new energy vehicles would have swept the entire United States long ago.
Since the advent of the Pterosaur flying car, Hubert Ford has also received inside information that the United States has rarely lent a huge sum of money to Tesla at a low interest rate, requiring it to surpass the performance of various new energy vehicles under Longxing Heavy Industry within three years.
After receiving the huge sum of money, Masik even sent three tweets in a row, saying that the amount was so huge that he could not imagine it.
What does this mean?
The United States is really anxious!
In industrial powers, the automobile industry is the main force contributing to tax revenue.
Especially the United States is a big country where every household has a car and travel depends on cars.
You want it to cede its interests?
Impossible!
It is for this reason that the United States has raised tariffs on new energy vehicles three times. At present, Longxing Heavy Industry has to pay a tariff of 210% to export a new energy vehicle to the United States, which clearly means that you are not allowed to sell it.
Not only the United States, but also the entire European and American industrial powers do not welcome Longguo cars, and the tariffs are basically 200% or more.
This is out of protection for the local automobile market and fear of the impact of Longguo cars.
The European and American markets cannot be entered. If you want to increase the global market share of new energy vehicles, you can only open up new markets.
It happened that "Dragon Ball Nuclear Fusion Project" ended, and Wang Shan discussed with Chen Xing that they could take the opportunity to open the market door of BRICS and ASEAN countries and expand the market share of new energy vehicles.
As the new business card of Longguo, as long as it can occupy a place in the world, Longguo can continuously earn foreign exchange reserves, and even use cars to increase the gold content of Longguo currency!
At this moment, Ford Motor Group, BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz Group and Aston Martin Group are all facing a formidable enemy.
The financial backers to whom they pay taxes are also a little uneasy.
Fuel vehicles are too important to Europe and the United States, so important that they would rather reverse history than have new technology.
…
On the other side.
The island country of Tokyo.
From the moment Chen Xing appeared in Singapore, all members of the island country's parliament were notified to return to the office building for a meeting immediately.
The presiding meeting, Hideki Ueka, looked haggard, but his tone was still powerful: "The domestic economy has reached a critical freezing point, and the number of unemployed people is rising at an unimaginable rate. We must do something."
The voice fell.
He glanced at all the members of the parliament.
After two seconds of silence, he continued: "The best way I can think of at the moment is to reactivate the domestic automobile market. You can raise any opinions."
"How to reactivate? Dragon Country's new energy vehicles have entered our automobile market. How can we compete?"
A member of parliament asked.
The island country is not like European and American countries. It is too close to Dragon Country, and the foreign trade between the two countries is extremely frequent. The island country cannot raise tariffs by 200% like European and American countries. If it does so, the foreign trade business of the two countries will be ruined.
It cannot compete in price.
It cannot compete in technology.
Japanese cars that focus on fuel efficiency and durability have long been completely crushed by Dragon Country's new energy vehicles that are more fuel-efficient and more durable.
If you want to choose the country that is most severely impacted by new energy vehicles, it must be the island country.
Without the tax and employment of Japanese car companies, the entire island country's economy has fallen into a downturn, and can only reduce the corresponding losses by reducing US debt and increasing Dragon Country's debt.
"Yes, how to activate it is a big problem."
"Now it is not only a problem of the automobile market, but also a problem of the supply chain of our entire Japanese car market. Longguo's new energy vehicles have almost destroyed our car companies."
"The key is that Toyota Group was stolen by Chen Xing, a villain. Otherwise, with the technology accumulated by Toyota Group over the years, our Japanese cars would not be eliminated so quickly."
"Well said, it's all Chen Xing."
"Damn Longxing Group!"
When the parliamentarians talked about cars, everyone couldn't help but scold Chen Xing.
If you ask when Japanese cars fell, someone will definitely answer that it was the moment when Chen Xing forcibly acquired Toyota Group and fired 200,000 or 300,000 workers.
Although the forced acquisition of Toyota Group did not go as Chen Xing wished, the impact on the island country was no less than throwing ten mushroom bombs.
It was also from that moment that the island country's heavy industry stagnated, prices soared, and the number of unemployed people soared. The source of all this was pointed at Longxing Group, or Chen Xing.
The hatred of the parliamentarians for Chen Xing exceeded the expectations of Hideki Kamioka.
This made him hesitate again, whether he should tell the compromise plan or not.
When he was hesitant, a member of parliament asked: "So, Speaker Hideki Kamioka, how can we reactivate our auto market?"
Instantly.
The eyes of the whole audience were focused.
Facing the eyes of the whole audience, Hideki Kamioka closed his eyes, lowered his head a little and said: "I... I propose to cooperate with Longxing Group to establish a joint venture brand."
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
"..."
Silence!
Deathly silence!
In the entire conference hall, all the members of parliament no longer had the energy to scold Chen Xing just now, and they all looked sluggish at this moment.
Cooperate with Longxing Group?
Isn't this a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth?
And according to what Chen Xing did at the beginning, Longxing Group wants the industrial system of Toyota Group.
The most important thing is, if they choose to compromise with Chen Xing, what will the United States think and what will they do?
"Bakayaro, what are you talking about? Are you going to betray our Great Sun Empire?"
One councillor reacted and immediately stood up and cursed Hideki Kamioka. In his excitement, he did not forget to pick up the mineral water in front of him and threw it at the main seat.
"Pah——"
Hideki Kamioka did not hide, and the mineral water hit him hard on the head.
One bottle.
Three bottles.
Five bottles.
The angry councillors were protesting in their own way, but there were also councillors who supported Hideki Kamioka and hurried to his side to block the flying mineral water bottles.
The forehead of Hideki Kamioka, who was protected, was obviously bruised. He pushed away the two councillors who were protecting him, stood up and said:
"I have no other choice but to cooperate with Longxing Group. If you have better suggestions, you can put them forward, but before reaching a consensus, we all need to stay in the office building."
As the voice fell, a councillor wanted to leave the meeting room, but as soon as he knocked on the door, he was stopped by fully armed police.
"What do you want to do, Hideki Kamioka?" Seeing that he couldn't get out, the congressman turned around and asked loudly, even using tongue flicks.
In the language communication of the island country, tongue flicks are often accompanied by swear words, but more of them are anger.
Facing the question, Hideki Kamioka responded calmly: "We must reach a consensus before we can leave. The content of this meeting cannot be leaked in advance. I hope you understand."
He bowed to apologize.
While he bowed, someone wanted to contact the outside world with a mobile phone, but the signal strength column showed no signal.
Obviously, Hideki Kamioka had made sufficient preparations before this meeting.
He knew very well that many of the island country's congressmen were supported by the United States. If the US senior officials knew the content of this meeting, they would definitely destroy it as soon as possible.
It was related to hundreds of millions of people in the island country, and Hideki Kamioka didn't dare to gamble.
If the Overseas Nation Building Plan had not been blocked by Brazil, they would not have needed to compromise with Chen Xing at all, but now it seems that this is the only way left for the island country.
…
When Ueka Hideki held all the parliamentarians hostage, the Global Power System Construction and Power Supply Pricing Conference was progressing very smoothly and had reached the final signing stage.
With the signing of the new contract, Chen Xing was relieved.
“Pa pa pa——”
In the parliament hall, representatives of various countries could not help but applaud.
0.32 yuan electricity price, Chen Xing…
No!
It should be said that Longguo really gave them a surprise, so big that they were willing to give up fuel vehicles and embrace the new era of electricity.
But it is worth mentioning that the reason why these national representatives agreed so readily was not only because the power supply price was too attractive, but also because there was no conflict of interest with Longguo.
Although they all have corresponding fuel vehicle brands in their countries, in fact, they are all money-making tools for the West.
For every fuel vehicle sold, European and American countries will receive a sum of money.
A large part of the reason why European and American countries can become developed countries is that their automobile industry is so developed that industrially backward countries can only buy from them or introduce corresponding automobile manufacturing technology.
For example, in the former Longguo automobile industry, Brilliance BMW, Imperial Mercedes-Benz, FAW Toyota, Guangqi Honda, etc., all the brands you can name have foreign investment.
This means that every time you buy a joint venture car, part of the profit will flow to foreign countries.
Longguo has a population of 1.3 billion and 400 million families. Assuming that half of the families have cars, there are 200 million cars. It is conceivable how much money foreign car companies have made in the era of joint ventures.
Replacing fuel vehicles and developing new energy vehicles has become the main theme in China.
When the applause subsided a little, Chen Xing smiled calmly and said again: "There are a few last words, which Chief Wang Shan asked me to relay."
The voice fell.
The whole audience was silent again.
All representatives were excited and waited for what Wang Shan was going to relay.
Chen Xing did not hesitate and said: "Chief Wang Shan said that the BRICS alliance should develop together and fully implement the alliance concept of learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses. Our Longguo is also willing to take the lead and provide BRICS members and new members with enough cheap electricity supply."
"Pa Pa Pa——"
The applause in the conference hall rang out again.
Chen Xing greeted the applause and continued: "We welcome new members to join the BRICS countries. For each new member, Longguo State Grid will provide power system construction and power supply, and Longxing Group will also provide supporting technical support, such as new energy vehicles."
"To witness this moment, Longguo will present national porcelain to the BRICS alliance."
At this point, Wen Zhangxing, who was standing aside, stood up quickly and opened the black plastic bag on the table. Only to see a beautiful red porcelain in front of the world.
"National porcelain gift!"
When the porcelain was unveiled, someone couldn't help but exclaimed.
Perhaps many people don't know the importance of national porcelain. Let's just say that the meaning of Longguo's English name includes porcelain.
Giving porcelain as a gift, the whole country's strength! (End of this chapter)
