A month passed quickly.
It was another evening at Kyushu Automobile, and many senior car company executives left after eating in the canteen.
Back in the hotel conference room, these senior executives from well-known car companies from all over the world hold a small meeting every day.
Different from the initial confidence, after a month of negotiations, the senior executives of these car companies have become a little impatient, or they have noticed the slightest abnormality!
"Although long-term negotiations are normal, and many cooperation project negotiations last for several months, or even half a year or more, the cooperation negotiations on Kyushu Automobile's side have not even made any actual progress..."
"In terms of work today, Kyushu Auto still seems to want to reach a cooperation, but it is always a little bit close to being able to do so."
"I always feel like there's a bad premonition here. I hope it's my misunderstanding."
"So do the current international lithium resources still need to be maintained at the current price? We don't have a lot of funds."
"Let's maintain it. Now that we have reached this point, we may be just a little bit closer to getting Kyushu Automobile's technology. As you can see, the Hengxin battery factory has not started production for half a month.
The sales of new energy trams in China are also affected by the price of lithium ore resources. Even if consumers want to buy them, there are currently no trams that can be delivered. . . . . . "
"The resistance is getting bigger and bigger. Not only Kyushu Automobile itself, but also China's officials will urgently stop any in-depth negotiation and cooperation."
"We are all waiting for the result of our negotiation. What are Jiuzhou Automobile waiting for? Nowadays, every extra day of delay will cause great losses. In terms of price, I think we have already given a very good price. We have already Showed sincerity.”
"Jiuzhou Automobile has always been unwilling to sell the company, and it has not obtained anything useful in terms of technology..."
“In another week, if there is still no progress, we will then decide whether to sell the lithium resources in our hands or let the price fall smoothly.
Well, it will not return to the original low price. It will be enough to stay at two or three times the original price for a long time. It is a fatal blow to new energy electric vehicle companies such as Kyushu Motors, but it has an impact on us. Not very big. "
The senior executives of these car companies are not real fools. They even say that they have been in the business for decades and are among the best in the world in terms of vision and ability.
However, due to the asymmetry of information, they did not know the specific information, and they could not imagine that Jiuzhou Automobile could actually develop and produce sodium-ion batteries that were different from those based on lithium ore resources.
However, there has been no progress for a long time. From the initial confidence that they could bite the most delicious piece of meat from Jiuzhou Automobile, to the long time of no progress now, they still smelled something unusual.
Of course, the cakes painted by Jiuzhou Automobile in front are still very sweet. After working hard for so long, they don't want to give up just like that, otherwise all their efforts will be wasted.
Sunk costs, in this month, these car companies also spent a lot of money in order to smooth the negotiations.
The car companies here have concluded their brief meeting. At the same time, more people are paying attention to the progress of the negotiations between Kyushu Motors and many car companies on the Internet.
Today's lithium ore resource prices, through the continuous promotion of these international car companies, have reached an incredible price, which is more than ten times that of more than a month ago!
At the same time, from the initial negotiations between Jiuzhou Automobile and more than a dozen automobile companies, now more and more people are paying attention to the abnormal international lithium ore resource prices, and Jiuzhou Automobile is the most affected by the fluctuation of lithium ore resource prices. Related Products.
The official paid attention to this and sent a special investigation team to supervise and block the business negotiations. Mr. Zhou even came in person and talked a lot with Kyushu Automobile in private, fearing that Kyushu Automobile would package itself up and sell it because of some difficulties. Got it!
In addition, even more and more ordinary people know that in recent times, domestic Jiuzhou and Huaxia cars that are easy to drive and have good quality, as well as domestic new energy electric vehicles, have been delayed due to the price of lithium ore resources. Cannot be delivered.
However, it is not all bad things for Kyushu Motors. As time goes by, things have attracted more attention. At least Kyushu Motors is now more famous!
One of the parties in the negotiation, the joint venture car companies, has attracted the attention of middle-aged people in their thirties to their fifties who were not very interested in Kyushu Automobile.
More than a dozen well-known automobile brands in the world have joined forces to negotiate for Kyushu Automobile's technology, and have been talking for a month but still have no results.
Why do the joint venture car companies not hesitate to spend a lot of money to acquire Kyushu Automobile's technology, and why they have joined forces to form a group? On the Internet, more and more netizens are talking about related news.
In the post forum, there is a pinned post about the negotiation process between Kyushu Motor and international car companies.
"Recognition from a century-old car manufacturer, progress in negotiations between Kyushu Motor and international car companies. 》
"All Japanese car companies are here, Korean car companies, American car companies, German car companies, French car companies, etc., mid- to high-end car companies."
"There is a feeling that eight countries have united to plunder, and Kyushu Automobile is the target of plunder. The vehicle manufacturing technology of new energy electric vehicles has allowed these car companies to unite and kill them at the expense of huge sums of money. Kyushu Automobile!”
"I hope there will be a good result. I hope Jiuzhou Automobile can protect its car-making technology from being plundered and produce cars for our own country."
"From now on, when buying cars, I will only buy cars from Jiuzhou Auto sub-brand and Huaxia brand!"
"There are still some people who don't believe in Kyushu Auto's products. Now it's okay. Kyushu Auto is almost being divided up by those car companies."
"I used to be skeptical about the quality and technology of Kyushu Automobile. Although people on the Internet said it was good, the time to build the car was still too short. It had not gone through long-term quality verification, and I didn't know how reliable the performance was. .
If I were buying a car by myself, I would most likely not consider Kyushu Auto, but the current situation has given me great confidence in Kyushu Auto's quality and technology. I will definitely buy Kyushu Auto for my next car! "
"I support Jiuzhou Auto. Unfortunately, it is difficult to buy one now. I went to the Jiuzhou Auto 4S store yesterday and asked about it. If I order a car now, the estimated delivery time will be half a year later."
"Hurry up and book a car. The price of car booking has not increased yet, and the price of international lithium ore resources has gone up to the sky. Even if Kyushu Motors negotiates with those car companies later, the lithium ore price will not fall back to the price half a year ago. It will be very soon There may be a price increase, so hurry up and book a car, and you’ll make a profit when you buy it!”
"I have already ordered a car, and the next step is to wait slowly. I support Kyushu Motors and hope that this car company in our own country can overcome this difficulty..."
"These brands of cars used to be synonymous with good cars in many people's minds, but now they have joined forces to attack a car company that has only been around for a few years. They have no moral integrity!"
"The common recognition from the world's car companies is that when were the domestically produced cars worth those joint venture car companies so aggressively fighting against each other? Only the truly strong will let the weak unite to defeat them. As long as Kyushu Motors survives, I will recommend them to those around me in the future." People buy Kyushu cars!”
"Compared to ordinary people, those car companies understand the true quality of a car better. They want Kyushu Motors' various technologies so much that they spend huge amounts of money on it, which proves that Kyushu Motors' products are really great. .”
"I've told you many times that Kyushu Automobile's products are the right products to buy. No matter which product it is, it is overwhelming compared to fuel vehicles, especially pure electric models. You can buy a supercar for more than 300,000 yuan. !”
On the Internet, car-related forums are discussing the progress of Kyushu Automobile.
More people are paying attention to Kyushu Automobile, which further increases the popularity of the matter. At the same time, more people are curious about and recognize Kyushu Automobile.
At the center of everyone's attention, inside Jiuzhou Automobile Company, a small meeting was underway.
There were only a dozen people participating in the meeting, but they were all the real senior executives of Kyushu Auto!
In order to carry out this harvest of car companies, the fewer people who know about sodium-ion batteries and the plans of Kyushu Automobile executives, the better.
In terms of the laboratory, after Xu Yifan's strict instructions, the sodium-ion battery R&D team has been fully closed and managed. Everyone lives and works in the laboratory. At the same time, there is a system to open the system to increase the number of second-generation sodium-ion batteries. The research and development was also completed a week ago.
Sitting at the conference table in the office, Xu Yifan asked the presidents responsible for various technical negotiations: "How is the specific progress of today's negotiations?"
Ye Zhiyong: “In terms of progress, today’s overall situation has not changed much from the previous few days, and it is still under our control.”
After a slight hesitation, Ye Zhiyong continued: "However, they may have noticed some differences. The time has dragged on for too long. The most important thing is that there has not been any substantive progress in such a long time. It may be A certain amount of suspicion arises.”
Deng Yingzhuohui, who pays attention to the international stock market and futures market, reported: "The futures and stock markets related to international lithium resources have not changed much in the past week. After reaching a peak price of 13 times a week ago, it has now stabilized. "
Yao Yuan next to him said: "By the way, there was someone who contacted me privately yesterday. The other party claimed to be this time. No, the purpose was to bribe me. The offer price has reached 10 million, and asked me to sell some company interests during the negotiation process. .”
Feng Hao: "I also received such news, the price is similar."
Several CEOs of Kyushu Motor reported to Xu Yifan the information related to the recent negotiations.
After hearing this, Xu Yifan thought about it and smiled at everyone: "It seems that the time has basically matured. If we continue to delay, there will not be much progress, and the prey may be let go. Then tomorrow's negotiations can be carried out. The net is closed!”
After Xu Yifan finished speaking, the faces of the CEOs below showed expressions of excitement and anticipation.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Hey hey hey, I've been letting them be arrogant for a month, playing with them all day long, and the day is finally here!"
"It's been a month. Do you know how this month has passed? It's very tiring to pretend to be a different face all day long. I feel like I have no problem applying to be an actor now!"
"I can't wait to see the faces of those foreigners. It will definitely be very exciting, hahaha!"
When everyone became quieter, Xu Yifan said to the two senior executives of Kyushu Motors who were responsible for monitoring the international stock market and futures market: "There are still 20 billion in funds in the account of Kyushu Motors, leaving 5 billion." It will be used for the company’s daily expenses and raw material purchase, and all the remaining 15 billion yuan will be used by me to short lithium resources!”
Deng Yingzhuo: "Understood!"
Ji Shenghai smiled at the CEOs around him and said: "Everyone, why don't you use your salary to play together? Follow the company and drink some soup. This time I have already spent more than one million yuan in salary for two years." Yes, there is no problem in earning several times the income!”
"Of course I want it. I still have a million or so. I will give you an account to work with you later."
"My family and I collected two million and worked hard for a month, and finally we can harvest."
"It's a pity that I only have 500,000 in cash. If I had known it, I wouldn't have bought a villa!"
"Leverage up, leverage up!"
Not only can the company make a lot of money, but company executives who have worked for a month can also make a lot of money.
Xu Yifan didn't say anything about this. Everyone just used their wages to have fun, as long as they didn't cause any damage to the company's interests.
Well, even in terms of bonuses, you can think about it a little less!
After everyone had discussed the harvest feast that would start tomorrow, Xu Yifan said to the president of Hengxin Battery: "Feng Hao, please prepare for our new product launch conference on sodium-ion batteries.
Tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the evening, the official website of Jiuzhou Technology Company will publish a new product launch conference about sodium-ion batteries online, telling the world that our sodium-ion batteries are here!
You can warm up in advance in the afternoon, and half a day should be enough to spread the news to the entire network. "
Today's Kyushu Motor is no longer the small company it once was. As the domestic car company with the strongest technical strength, during the negotiation process with more than a dozen major international car companies, it suddenly announced the arrival of sodium-ion batteries, which solved the problem. problems encountered by oneself.
Naturally, it will attract many consumers to see what that new battery looks like!
