My science and technology museum - Chapter 146 Impossible
As the popularity of charging centers and battery replacement stations continues to spread, domestic car brands that choose to use solid-state power batteries have taken advantage of this opportunity to promote their upcoming models.
Users who originally planned to buy a traditional gasoline car had to reconsider facing this situation.
After all, the impact of the Future Technology project on the traditional automobile industry has become a fact. As the amount of imported oil decreases, what the price of gasoline will be or whether there will be gasoline sales is a big question.
There is nothing wrong with choosing a new energy vehicle when you don’t have to worry about cruising range and charging issues.
certainly.
The rise of new industries will inevitably affect the interests of other industries.
For example, the most direct gas station.
The layout of charging centers and battery replacement stations was decided after approval from above. Naturally, the impact on traditional industries after the completion of the project was taken into consideration, so state-owned gas stations will certainly not make rash remarks.
However, private gas stations expressed their strong dissatisfaction after the announcement of Xingyuan Battery.
It was even criticized as malicious competition.
The Xingyuan charging center and battery replacement station were questioned and smeared online.
From the waste of resources to environmental pollution, it can be said that everything is done.
When the main charging center and battery replacement station were first constructed, power grid personnel were often seen at the construction site, so they thought it was purely a power grid project.
Didn’t pay too much attention to it.
It comes down to it.
Still, this project is too hard to believe. If it weren’t for the facts now, I’m afraid no one would think that future technology would be able to spend so much money to lay out charging centers and battery replacement stations across the country.
This is not something a normal company would do at all.
There is no such courage at all.
It is a pity that their interests cannot represent the interests of the general public.
As a result, the negative public opinion about Xingyuan Battery did not cause much waves on the Internet.
It is equivalent to splashing water and then being suppressed by the excitement of the people.
At the same time, other traditional automobile brand companies also responded quickly and held an emergency company core meeting to discuss whether to try to transform and enter the new energy automobile industry.
However, compared with the happiness of ordinary users, those who have just purchased a Tesla smart driving car have a more complicated mood.
I originally wanted to experience Tesla’s latest technological achievements, but this happened.
Thinking that I will have to look for Tesla’s fast charging piles in the city in the future, while other solid-state power battery car owners only need to go to the nearest battery replacement station to replace the battery, I can’t help but feel a little sad in my heart.
Even driverless technology suddenly doesn’t feel good anymore.
The key is that although Tesla’s new energy vehicles have a slightly longer cruising range than traditional lithium batteries, they can only drive on urban roads.
If you want to get on the highway, you must be prepared to have your vehicle lying still and looking for rescue.
This is not comparable to solid-state power batteries.
So after careful weighing, some car owners finally decided to cancel their previous pre-orders.
Waiting for cars equipped with solid-state power batteries to go on sale.
However, there are still some users who insist on their choice and still want to experience the charm of Tesla intelligent driving.
In order to regain their psychological balance, they also spontaneously formed a Tesla car owners group to analyze the advantages of Tesla smart driving cars from various angles online and called on everyone to buy Tesla smart driving cars.
Later, there was even a heated debate with users who supported solid-state power battery vehicles.
Adding another fire to the already lively network.
“What I value when buying Tesla is the driverless technology, and it has nothing to do with whether the battery is durable or not.”
“But you still have to spend time recharging.”
“The fact that self-driving cars are on the market shows that this technology is very mature and is perfect for office workers to drive in the city, especially since they don’t have to park and move the car by themselves.”
“I’m sorry, but the office workers you’re talking about probably can’t afford Tesla.”
“As for the domestic new energy vehicle brands, there is no guarantee of quality or after-sales service. Even if they use Xingyuan’s solid-state power batteries, they still dare not buy them.”
“If everyone uses self-driving technology cars, there will probably be fewer road killers.”
“In the future, solid-state power battery vehicles will inevitably replace traditional gasoline vehicles. You should think carefully about your choice.”
“I just want to know what the reaction will be from Truss?”
…
As discussed online, the most nervous person in this matter must be Tesla.
Since the emergence of solid-state power batteries, they chose to cooperate with Guge. The original ordinary models have completely lost their competitiveness in the Asian market, and they can only pin their hopes on this smart driving car.
But now Xingyuan Battery has invested huge amounts of money to further expand the influence of solid-state batteries, which has made them very passive.
If I had known that Xu Lei had such courage and took the initiative to end the cooperation with Guge and choose to use solid-state batteries, maybe the situation would have been much better.
However, the opportunity to make this choice has now been lost.
Magic City.
Tras industrial area.
In the conference room, Deng Wan stood in front of the screen with his head slightly lowered, his whole mood depressed to the extreme.
It was completely different from the high-spirited performance at the press conference a few days ago.
Because on the screen at this moment, it was Tesla Chairman Masen who appeared, expressing strong dissatisfaction with what happened.
“You didn’t know about such a big move in future technology, but you didn’t know about it in advance.”
“What a fool!”
Deng Wan listened to Masen’s words. Although he saw that the other party placed all the blame on him, he did not dare to show any objection.
He quickly opened his mouth and responded in fluent foreign language.
“Chairman.”
“Future Technology suddenly announced its layout of charging centers and battery replacement stations at this time, which is obviously targeting us.”
“However, with the help of our driverless technology, they will not be able to affect the high-end market in the short term.”
During this period, Deng Wan’s thoughts were focused on the smart driving car developed by Wu Kangsheng, and he went through various procedures to make it successfully launched on the market.
How can I still have the energy to focus on future technological developments?
Besides, no one would even think about deploying charging centers and battery replacement stations across the country.
This is completely abnormal.
Besides, even if they knew about this plan of Future Technology, Tesla would not be able to change anything, and they would still face the current situation in the end.
After all, they were the ones who decided to continue to cooperate with Guge and did not attend the investment conference held by Xingyuan Battery.
Let’s not talk about regrets now about whether we can still get solid-state power batteries. It will be enough for Guge alone, because the termination of the cooperation means that all the smart driving cars that have just been launched will be offline, and the losses will be faced by then. It will only be bigger.
It may even be forced to withdraw from the Asian market completely.
Give this cake away.
Now affected by solid-state batteries, although sales have declined, as long as their technology is in a leading position, the high-end new energy vehicle market will not be greatly affected.
You must know that users who choose to buy Tesla smart driving cars are originally coming for driverless technology.
Just for driving on city roads, the battery life is completely sufficient.
What’s more important is that users like this don’t have just one car at home.
Masen on the screen gradually calmed down after hearing Deng Wan’s words. After all, the deal was now done, and it was useless to hold anyone accountable in a passive situation.
The most urgent thing to consider is how to mitigate the impact.
Stabilize its market share in the Asian region.
After a pause for a few seconds, Marsen asked another question.
“How are the sales of new smart driving cars? Have they been seriously affected?”
“Report to the Chairman.”
“Although some people chose to unsubscribe after the announcement of Xingyuan Batteries, the proportion was not large. It is expected that the spot products will be available next month.”
For Deng Wan to be able to achieve his current position, he must be able to observe the situation and assess the situation. When he saw Masen’s mood softening, he immediately reported these favorable contents.
really.
After hearing this, Masen stopped scolding him.
Finally, he said something and ended the call.
“Next, keep an eye on the trends of Future Technology and other car brand companies, and increase the promotion of our products. If we lose the Asian market, you will not be needed as the person in charge.”
“Don’t worry, Chairman, I will maintain the market share we occupy.”
As Deng Wan finished his respectful reply, his whole body suddenly relaxed, but then he thought of the situation he was currently facing and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
“Alas~”
But before the voice could completely fall, I heard a familiar voice coming from behind.
“Don’t worry too much, Mr. Deng.”
“Future Technology has made such a big move to increase the scale of the new energy vehicle industry and deployed so many charging centers and battery replacement stations. It is indeed unexpected, but the impact on our smart driving car will not be great.”
Hearing this, Deng Wan subconsciously looked back and realized it was Wu Kangsheng.
But at this moment, Deng Wan was a little confused.
He didn’t quite understand how Wu Kangsheng could still maintain the confidence on his face in this passive situation.
It seems confident, but it makes people feel a little uneasy.
So the next second he asked directly: “Does Dr. Wu have any unique insights? You might as well tell me.”
“I think Mr. Deng, you should be very clear that the only high-end new energy vehicle brand in the Asian market is Tesla, and the selling point of our smart driving car has never been the battery.”
“As long as our driverless technology is unique in the market, no matter how large the scale of solid-state batteries is in future technology, we still won’t be able to capture this market share.”
“Truss will still maintain its original market position.”
Faced with Deng Wan’s inquiry, Wu Kangsheng immediately explained patiently, hoping to eliminate Deng Wan’s worries.
And after saying these words, he then said with a confident smile: “It is impossible for any other brand company to realize driverless technology in the short term.”
The road was suddenly closed in the morning. I was walking to the supermarket to buy some things, so the update was a little late. I will continue to update in the evening. Please support~
