Chapter 522 Tesla Gigafactory Is Sold at a Low Price, Chen Xing May Become a Contemporary Sinner

At noon in spring, the sun shines freely on the ground. It does not have the sharpness of summer, nor the restraint of winter, but is just soft and bright.

Due to the curtains, no sunlight could penetrate the blockade, and the rest room in Chen Xing's office was still dark.

This is because Chen Xing's working hours are unstable. When decorating the office, he specifically instructed that the curtains in the rest room must be completely blackout.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the curtains are drawn and the door is closed, there is no concept of time in the rest room because you cannot feel it in the dark.

At this time, Chen Xing was immersed in a sweet dream. In his dream, he was leisurely watching the national news channel. The host Bai Shisong held the manuscript and announced excitedly.

“Dear people of all ethnic groups across the country, in this era full of hopes and dreams, we have jointly witnessed the prosperity and prosperity of the country. In order to further enhance the well-being of all people and achieve a higher level of fairness and justice, our government has decided after careful consideration and preparation The implementation of the policy of free medical care and education nationwide is a historic moment and the good news that all Chinese people are looking forward to! "

Comprehensive medical care and education are important signs of developed countries.

Why is Longguo said to be a developing country?

The famous writer "Scribble Puppy" once told the host of a talk show:

"The gap between the rich and the poor in the Dragon Kingdom is huge. Some of the children born in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are on the same level as developed countries in Europe and the United States, and have begun to pay attention to environmental protection, animals and air."

"Even a boy born in the imperial capital even asked for a real Boeing airplane, while for children in the northwest, their wish may just be a pair of white sneakers."

He wrote everything he saw, heard and heard in "We Live in the Huge Gap", which shocked countless people.

Only by realizing free medical care and free education can Long Country truly enter the ranks of developed countries.

Just when Chen Xing looked excited and wanted to hear Bai Shisong continue talking, a harsh alarm clock made the picture in front of him gradually blur, and finally turned into darkness.

All of a sudden.

Real memories flooded in.

Chen Xing also remembered that he worked until three or four o'clock in the morning yesterday and then fell asleep in the office rest room.

"Is it just a dream?"

"Harmful."

He sighed softly.

Although it is just a dream now, Chen Xing firmly believes that as long as Longguo continues to develop at this speed, free medical care and education will one day be realized for all.

Turning off the irritating alarm clock on his cell phone, Chen Xing relied on his senses to go to the window and opened the heavy blackout curtains on both sides.

In an instant.

The room suddenly became brighter.

The dazzling sunlight made Chen Xing squint slightly. After getting used to it, he opened the window to ventilate the rest room.

"call--"

He took a deep breath and let it out heavily.

Just as he was thinking about taking a breather and then going to wash up and eat, the cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.

(I want to climb up step by step)

(Waiting for the sun to look at its face quietly)

(Small sky has big dreams)

Chen Xing walked in. When he saw the note on the call, he frowned slightly.

"Masik?"

"Masik called now. Is there something to discuss?"

He thought about the purpose of the call and speculated on Masik's intentions.

Today's Longguo new energy vehicle market is a fierce battle.

In addition to the involvement of established car companies such as Guangzhou Automobile Group, SAIC Motor and Changan Automobile Group, there are also new powerful car companies such as Xpeng Motors, Li Auto and NIO.

Anyone who has understood the layout of the new market knows that at the beginning, all companies will compete deeply around price.

For example, when it comes to takeout, Meituan and Ele.me were burning tens of millions of dollars a day. To order a takeout meal originally priced at 100 yuan, you only need to pay a dozen yuan.

Eating KFC for two yuan, eating barbecue for five yuan, and eating crayfish for ten yuan is not a dream at all, but the product of corporate business wars.

Another example is shopping platforms. In the stage of micro-business transformation into e-commerce shopping, the subsidies provided by Taowu.com and Wangdong platforms are equally dazzling. In order to compete for new users, they directly subsidize dozens of yuan and also have a bunch of shopping coupons.

This is also the fundamental reason why, when a new market is just budding, major companies are focusing on price and quality.

Once they gain a foothold, they can double their earnings.

After thinking for a few seconds, Chen Xing chose to press the connect button.

"Mr. Chen, you're welcome. I'm Masik. Can we talk about the car?"

As soon as the call was connected, Masik couldn't wait to say a series of things, for fear that Chen Xing would hang up on him.

The two had a falling out because of the 4G network base station.

"I know."

Chen Xing responded calmly.

The first time Masik visited him in person, he saved his number and made a note, thinking it might be useful in the future.

"but."

Chen Xing suddenly changed the topic and explained: "As for the automobile business, you may have found the wrong person. Mr. Ren is now fully responsible for the operations of Longxing Heavy Industry, the parent company of Linghang Automobile."

"Oh…"

Masik smiled helplessly, then lowered his tone and posture and said, "Mr. Chen, please stop playing football. I apologize to you for what happened in the past. Now I just want to leave Long Country."

"Leave the Dragon Kingdom?"

The remaining sleepiness dissipated in an instant. Chen Xing thought of something and asked, "Tesla wants to withdraw from Dragon Kingdom?"

"That's right."

Masik nodded to confirm, and said in a deep voice: "Can we sit down and chat now? I'm already in the deep city."

"Of course, I'm waiting for your arrival at Longxing Group." Chen Xing quickly expressed his stance.

If Tesla wants to withdraw from the Dragon Country market, its car production plant cannot be dismantled, but must be sold to pay off its debts.

Nowadays, Longguo's new energy vehicles are all using "Thor Solid State Batteries" and "Polymer Semi-Solid Lithium Batteries", which is equivalent to Chen Xing controlling their lifeblood.

When the whole industry knows that Ma Si Ke and Chen Xing are having trouble, who dares to take over the hot potato of Tesla Gigafactory?

It's obvious.

No one dared to pick it up except Chen Xing.

Because once they take over rashly, no one can guarantee that Chen Xing will not get angry with them and cut off the supply of technology and lithium batteries.

"Excuse me, I'll go over now."

Masik breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Chen Xing wouldn't give him this chance.

Due to the terms of the "Betting Agreement", he now has no way to leave the Dragon Kingdom and needs to pay an exit fine first.

He has also figured out that cars cannot be used, and brain-computer interfaces have been rushed to register. Now the only advantage he has is SpaceX. After leaving Dragon Kingdom, he will devote all his energy to the space field and no longer participate in the competition on the ground market. .

This is a helpless move, but also a wise choice.

Because Masik discovered that Longxing Group has too many technologies in reserve, and they are not independent and dispersed, but complement each other.

For example, artificial intelligence has allowed Pilot Car to achieve L4 level driverless driving. Shencheng has taken the lead in relaxing high-speed restrictions, allowing artificial intelligence to replace manual driving on highways.

Since the liberalization, the high-speed accident rate in Shenzhen has dropped by 12%. The Guangzhou government has also issued a public consultation draft asking citizens whether they want to relax the restrictions on driverless driving.

Anyone who has driven a car knows that if all car owners drive honestly and do not compete for those few minutes, 98% of car accidents can be reduced. Precisely because many people do not follow the rules and change lanes, block traffic and speed at will, car accidents occur. The rate remains high.

But the emergence of driverless cars has perfectly solved this problem.

Because autonomous driving relies on algorithms, the algorithm will not act on impulse or do high-risk things. It will only execute the "optimal" choice in the algorithm library.

For example, if someone is being bullied away from a car a few times, the road rage driver may immediately attack you, but the program algorithm will not. The program will continue to be courteous because it knows the consequences of being hit by.

Once they are killed and crippled, two families will be destroyed.

…

After hanging up the phone with Masik, Chen Xing called the canteen and asked them to deliver a set meal box to his office.

Since the canteen has been loved by employees, more and more business has been carried out.

In addition to takeout services, Longxing Canteen now also provides homemade milk tea, fried fast food and special barbecue. In order to satisfy the tastes of employees in various regions, eight major cuisine recipes are rotated every day, so you can eat all over the country without leaving home.

In Chen Xing's view, only by eating and drinking enough can he have the energy to do other things. He never treats the canteen as a profitable restaurant, but strives to improve it for welfare. After all, he does not lack this. money.

Whether it's Penguin, Ali, Wang Dong, or even Gree, the canteens enjoy high subsidies. In addition to the average taste, the prices are far cheaper than those outside.

If you want to know the internal culture or business philosophy of a company, you only need to eat in its internal canteen to get a rough idea.

If the food tastes bad and the price is expensive, it means that the company even exploits employees' meals. Then there is no need to talk about wages and year-end bonuses. You can understand them all.

"Okay Mr. Chen, we will send you a copy right away."

Canteen staff responded quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xing went to the bathroom to wash up and tidy up his image.

Not a moment.

There was a knock on the office door.

Chen Xing, who had finished washing and dressed neatly, opened the door, took the lunch box from the canteen staff and said, "Thank you for your hard work. The money will be deducted from my canteen account."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, if you have any other needs, you can contact me again."

"Okay, go get busy."

After closing the door, Chen Xing looked at the time on his watch.

When Masik called him just now, it was 12:07 noon. The hotel he settled in was most likely a star hotel near Shencheng International Airport. If nothing else happened, he would arrive at the base gate in about 30 minutes, and then he would It took 5 minutes to be taken to Chen Xing's office by the girl at the front desk, which meant that Chen Xing still had about half an hour to eat.

Things were just as he expected. 22 minutes later, the security guard at the guard post called him and said that Masike and Chen Xing had an appointment and asked if it was true.

After being confirmed by Chen Xing, Masike entered in a special delivery vehicle.

Five minutes passed.

There was a knock on Chen Xing's office door.

"Come in."

The next second.

The girl at the front desk opened the door for Masike. Chen Xing stood up and greeted her warmly: "President Masike, long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Masik shook hands with Chen Xing.

The girl at the front desk didn't linger, quickly closed the office door and left.

"Sit over here." Chen Xing looked towards the reception area. The tea sets were wet and had obviously been used recently.

"Thanks."

Masik followed and sat down.

"Would you like tea?"

Chen Xing asked.

"Of course, I like tea." Masik did not refuse.

Neither of them was in a hurry to talk about things, but to get familiar with each other first, because both of them knew the other's specific thoughts.

After two cups of tea, seeing that the atmosphere was about the same, Chen Xing asked knowingly: "President Masike, on the phone just now, you said you wanted to withdraw from the Longguo market. Did you encounter any difficulties?"

"..."

Masik was silent for a while.

difficulty?

Tesla's difficulties are not caused by you, but you are actually pretending to be a White Lotus here.

However, Masik had to admit that Chen Xing had mastered business warfare so well that he was willing to lose.

Chen Xing originally thought that he would make a move later, but there was nothing he could do with the Tesla Model S. However, without lowering the price, he led other manufacturers to involuntarily engage in involution, causing Tesla to be pursued and intercepted by dozens of car companies.

Providing lithium batteries at low prices and licensing all the technology of pilot cars, Chen Xing did not take action directly, but he pushed the car companies to fight behind the scenes.

He was angry, but he must not show it now. Masik suppressed his anger and tried to stay calm and said:

"Perhaps the Tesla Model S is not acclimated to the local conditions, and Longguo users do not buy it, so I am thinking of withdrawing from the Longguo market and selling the car production plant in Shanghai and all the installed charging piles."

"And you found me?"

Chen Xing still asked knowingly.

"Yes." Masik nodded and continued: "Now Mr. Chen is the only one who has the strength to take over these fixed assets. What do you think?"

Longxing Group is not the only one that has the strength to take over. Guangzhou Automobile Group, BYD, and SAIC can all do it, but the bosses of these companies dare not offend Chen Xing, because their lifeblood is in the hands of the latter. If the supply of lithium batteries is cut off, , they will basically be honest.

"Don't dare to take it seriously."

Chen Xing smiled modestly and asked, "Please give me a price and I'll see if it's suitable."

"11 billion dragon national currency." After Masik quoted the price, he immediately said: "This includes 6 8,000-ton integrated die-casting machines, 4 complete automobile production lines, and 20,000 unsold Tesla Model S. As well as 740 charging piles and 109 stores across the country..."

In normal times, this price is definitely a bargain. 20,000 Tesla Model S would be worth 3 billion, not to mention other production equipment, facilities and related stores.

But as the saying goes, if you are sick and can kill you, if you don’t raise prices now, when will you raise prices?

When dealing with outsiders, Chen Xing doesn't care what they think. What he has to do is to benefit the people of Dragon Kingdom as much as possible.

"Too expensive."

Chen Xing took a sip of tea and said.

"10.5 billion, how about it?" Masik cut off 500 million himself, looking forward to it, and anxiously waiting for the next step.

“It’s still expensive.”

"10.3 billion."

"Not enough, too expensive."

"10 billion, this is the limit in my heart. Mr. Chen, you also know that these assets are worth at least 24 billion. If not..."

Masik's words came to his lips and he swallowed them back.

What he actually wanted to say was that if Chen Xing hadn't come out to disrupt the situation, Tesla would have exploded in Longguo long ago, so there would be no need to sell Longguo's assets at a low price.

"You are right, the asset value must be worth more than 20 billion, but President Masik, you have to think carefully, I don't need these fixed assets, just like you sell me T-shirts in winter, if the price is right, I will definitely Buy it because you can wear it in summer, but if you are not willing to give up the price, why should I rush to buy it? "

Chen Xing smiled calmly.

Does Longxing Group lack automobile production capacity?

Missing, but not particularly lacking.

Because Rebus has restarted the equipment buying and selling business in Ancient Elephant Kingdom, the production capacity of Pilot Cars will become higher and higher as time goes by.

To put it another step back, if the Toyota Group is successfully taken over and the top management of the island country no longer blocks it, then according to the Toyota Group's production lines and related industrial systems, the production capacity of Pilot Cars can be maximized in an instant.

A qualified businessman must understand the needs of the other party.

"..."

Masik was silent again.

Indeed, Chen Xing is right.

If it is not sold at a low price, why would anyone buy it?

If you think about it from his perspective, if he becomes Chen Xing, he will also try his best to lower the price because you are bound to leave the Dragon Kingdom.

"Make a price."

Masik sighed.

He really has no choice. Now he is completely unable to spare funds from other companies for assistance, and the Angsa Consortium cannot be contacted. He has become an outcast in the capital game.

"7 billion."

“7 billion???”

Masik was suddenly startled and stood up subconsciously.

He thought that Chen Xing would cut a big knife, but he didn't expect that it would be 3 billion. This was a direct cut on the aorta!

"I can only offer so much at the moment. Even an additional 100 million will affect the company's operations. If it doesn't meet your expectations, President Masik, then our business will not be a good one."

Chen Xing also stood up, as if he was about to issue an eviction order at any time.

Seeing this, Masik could only swallow with tears in his eyes and made a decision: "Okay, 7 billion will be 7 billion. When will the transfer be made?"

He had no choice now. In order to raise the expenses for leaving the country, he had to sell it as cheaply as possible. He also made up his mind that he would never step into the Dragon Kingdom in the future.

As for Tesla, he believes that the United States will not let the Longguo brand enter the domestic market, and he can continue to deploy in the United States.

"No hurry, we need to inspect the goods first."

Chen Xing said calmly.

"How do we inspect the goods?" Masike asked.

Chen Xing did not hide it and told me: "I will have someone go to Shanghai to systematically record all the fixed assets. Only when they meet my expectations can I give 7 billion."

"I think the final right of interpretation is with you!" Masike complained in his heart, but still smiled and said: "Okay, when will Mr. Chen send someone over?"

"Right away."

"Right away?"

"Yes, I have someone in Shanghai."

Chen Xing smiled calmly.

Professional things should be left to professionals. In addition to Tesla, Shanghai also has the headquarters of SAIC.

Since Chen Hong went in, Jiang Ye, the new chairman of SAIC, has a good relationship with Chen Xing. In addition, Longxing Group holds the lifeline, so it should be no problem for him to help.

"Then I'll wait?"

"You go back first and wait for the valuation results from Shanghai. It shouldn't be so fast. We'll sign the contract then."

"Okay then."

Masike did not stay. He came quickly and left quickly.

Before leaving the office, he looked back at Chen Xing with a complicated look. He didn't expect that he would fall to this point.

Looking at Masike's previous entrepreneurial experience, it can almost be described as perfect.

Not only did he realize private aerospace, but he also had great foresight to delve into electric vehicles.

But unfortunately, his Starlink and brain-computer were disrupted by Chen Xing, and now the car can't stand it, leaving only the last aerospace field.

Only those who have experienced ups and downs know that sometimes knowing how to give up is for future progress.

...

After Masike left, Chen Xing poured a cup of tea calmly.

No one would have thought that the moment Masike signed the "Betting Agreement" with Modu, his failure was doomed.

As a reborn person, Chen Xing has information that no one else knows.

Information is equal to the initiative, and grasping the initiative is equal to grasping the initiative.

Perhaps Masike would not have thought that Chen Xing not only knew that Tesla was coming to Longguo earlier than him, but also knew that Masike would sign the "Betting Agreement" with Modu due to insufficient funds.

From the moment he stepped into Longguo, he had been targeted by Chen Xing.

"Gulp——"

A cup of tea went down.

Chen Xing put down the teacup.

It was almost 1pm now, and it was 2pm in the island country. Saito I hadn't called back yet, which made him feel uneasy.

Could it be that the internal talks broke down?

Thinking of this, Chen Xing came to his desk, turned on his computer to check the encrypted mailbox, and there were several emails lying quietly in it, all sent by Miyazaki Junhui.

[After a late-night discussion at the top level, Finance Minister Ishida Mitsunari turned the tide and was unwilling to let Toyota Group be controlled by Longxing Group. He was afraid that Toyota Group's own industrial system would be controlled by Longzi Enterprises, which would make Longguo's industrial level advance by leaps and bounds and unable to be checked and balanced. After the final vote, Ishida Mitsunari's suggestion was adopted. ]

[There was news from the inside that someone was discussing secretly separating part of Toyota Group's industry. If there were too many unemployed people and they couldn't solve the problem, they would consider handing over the incomplete Toyota Group to Longxing Group. ]

[Island companies began to strictly check the share ratio, probably because they were afraid of repeating the same mistakes. ]

As the contents of the emails appeared one by one, Chen Xing fell into thought.

He didn't expect the high-level officials of the island country to be so decisive and actually chose to make millions of people unemployed. Can they really resettle them all?

Or...

Are they afraid of the blame from the United States?

No matter what the reason, things have developed to an uncontrollable situation. Chen Xing can only let Yao Nana "operate" on Toyota Group and force the island country to stop at the brink.

"Millions of people are unemployed, millions of families, I am afraid that they will be infamous in the history books of the island country and the West for thousands of years." Chen Xing smiled helplessly, but did not hesitate too much. He picked up his mobile phone and found Yao Nana's number.

As a Dragon countryman, he first considers the interests of his country.

Only when the interests of the people of his country are satisfied can the interests of the people of other countries be considered.

As the saying goes, the sin is in the present, and the merit is in the future. If the collapse of Toyota Group will trigger a wave of unemployment, or even a tsunami, Chen Xing is willing to bear the corresponding consequences.
