My science and technology museum - Chapter 155 Just buy it ready-made

“As of the data submitted yesterday, our smart car sales have exceeded 50,000 units, and we have opened it in hundreds of cities in total.”

“This is a detailed data report. Mr. Xu, please take a look.”

Binjiang City.

Longhu High-tech Park.

In the office of the headquarters building, Xu Lei took the document handed over by Jia Zhongjie and put it on the table to read it carefully.

That Xingyuan Smart Car could achieve such sales results was completely within his expectation.

After all, Tesla, the leader in the high-end new energy vehicle market, has been completely crushed by Xingyuan Smart Cars. It is no exaggeration to say that Xingyuan Smart Cars have now firmly occupied the entire domestic high-end market.

If it were not currently available for sale in hundreds of cities, this figure would have been at least several times higher.

“Well done.”

“If this trend continues, it is estimated that Truss will not be able to stay in the country any longer.”

After a moment, Xu Lei slowly raised his gaze and immediately affirmed Jia Zhongjie’s performance, without hesitation in praising him.

However, Jia Zhongjie did not show any joy after hearing these words.

Instead, he said with some concern: “Mr. Xu, our supply shortage is a big problem. Now users in some cities can’t get cars at all.”

Xu Lei naturally knew the question raised by Jia Zhongjie.

Nowadays, Xingyuan Smart Car only has a production line in the Xingyuan Battery Base in Binjiang City. Although Hu Xinren’s upgrade has greatly increased the production capacity of the car, it cannot meet the demand of the domestic market at all.

Unless a large automobile production base can be established immediately.

Since Jia Zhongjie chose to join Xingyuan Battery in the first place, he must have wanted it to develop well.

In fact, that’s exactly what he did.

He showed strong working ability in the solid-state power battery business and the construction project of the new base, so Xu Lei had to admit that keeping Jia Zhongjie was the right choice.

At present, Jia Zhongjie is in charge of Xingyuan smart car-related business, and he understands the importance of this project to the company, and definitely wants it to develop well even if it replaces Tesla’s position in the industry market.

However, the production of Xingyuan smart cars is temporarily unable to increase, leaving many places in a state of shortage. He is extremely worried about this.

It’s a pity that production capacity cannot be significantly improved without enough production lines. After all, even solid-state battery production capacity was only increased after three new bases were put into use.

For this reason, Jia Zhongjie thought twice and took the initiative to raise the matter in front of Xu Lei, wanting to see if there was a solution.

Compared with Jia Zhongjie, who looked nervous, Xu Lei acted relatively calmly at this moment.

He didn’t seem to be bothered by the incident.

Just when Jia Zhongjie was lost in thought, Xu Lei smiled and said, “Don’t worry, if nothing else happens, it won’t be long before we can solve the problem of insufficient production capacity.”

“Mr. Xu, what you said is true.”

Jia Zhongjie, who was still worried about this matter, suddenly brightened up after hearing these words.

He blurted out a reply almost subconsciously.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and asked slightly puzzledly: “No, Mr. Xu, I remember that our company has not yet confirmed the plan to build a car production base?”

As the vice president of Xingyuan Battery, Jia Zhongjie is very aware of the projects currently under construction by the company.

This does not include automobile production bases.

What’s more, building a base that can meet production capacity needs cannot be completed overnight, which is inconsistent with what Xu Lei said.

It is normal for Jia Zhongjie to express doubts about this.

Xu Lei was very indifferent to Jia Zhongjie’s confusion, and then offered a few more words to help him clear up his doubts.

“Who said we have to build it ourselves? Wouldn’t it be more convenient and faster to just buy something ready-made?”

“Don’t build.”

“Buy it ready-made.”

Recalling Xu Lei’s two words, Jia Zhongjie repeated them softly. The next second, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly understood.

“Mr. Xu.”

“You are talking about Truss’ newly built production base in Shanghai.”

Jia Zhongjie is not a fool. Since he doesn’t build his own base, he must buy it off the shelf. Looking at the suitable targets in China that can meet the needs of Xingyuan smart cars, the only one in the industrial zone of Shanghai is Truss.

If it can be used to produce Xingyuan smart cars, the demand in the domestic market will be greatly supplemented.

But Jia Zhongjie also understands that as the foundation of Truss in China, the other party may not sell it easily.

“Will they sell the base to their competitors? Although the current situation of Truss is not optimistic.” Thinking of this, Jia Zhongjie still couldn’t help but express his worries.

In fact, Xu Lei had already made plans to build a new car production base. After all, Tesla has been operating in the domestic market for such a long time. Xingyuan Smart Cars, which has limited supply, wants to completely overtake the other company. It may take some time to drive them out of the market.

And if it were not forced into a dead end, I believe that Tesla would never give up the big cake of the Asian market so easily.

In this case, Xingyuan certainly cannot wait for a long time.

New production sites must be built.

But it happened that at this time, Tesla’s smart driving car had an accident again, and there was a big problem of system crash and restart.

It was like a leak in the house overnight.

However, this situation just gave Xingyuan Smart Car a secondary boost, which could speed up Tesla’s defeat.

So when a large amount of news content accusing Truss began to appear on the Internet, Xu Lei did not sit idle and used Xingtong’s ability to amplify the impact of the matter.

As long as Tesla completely loses the sub-regional market, there will be no need to retain the production base in Shanghai.

After all, when the Xingyuan smart car was first announced to the outside world, Tesla made some small moves behind the scenes, and Xu Lei was able to retaliate against him.

“There is no room for Tras to survive in the Asian market. If my prediction is good, I’m afraid the other party will make new moves soon.”

Having said that, since Xu Lei has shown extremely strong confidence, Jia Zhongjie must have no reason not to believe it. You must know that this has lessons learned from the past.

“I understand Mr. Xu.”

Finally, he nodded respectfully and said, “Don’t worry about it for the time being.”

But the moment he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

“Come in.”

Chen Shihe pushed the door open, walked straight to Xu Lei, leaned over slightly and said, “Mr. Xu, I just received information from Truss that the other party’s chairman, Masen, wants to meet with you tomorrow.”

“I don’t know if I should agree to the other party?”

Almost as soon as Chen Shihe finished speaking, Jia Zhongjie’s pupils suddenly shrank.

I didn’t expect this to happen so suddenly.

As soon as Xu Lei finished saying that Truss would make new moves next, Chairman Truss took the initiative to ask for a meeting, and it was almost as easy as saying something.

Jia Zhongjie looked at Xu Lei with even more passionate admiration.

Compared with the hidden excitement in Jia Zhongjie’s heart, Xu Lei’s lips slightly raised, showing a slight smile.

“Even the chairman of Truss couldn’t sit still and came here to handle it personally. It seems that he was indeed forced into a difficult situation.”

“Want to see me.”

“Then let’s just meet him.”

Although Xu Lei was still not sure what the idea of ​​​​Masen was, he was the first to submit and proposed a meeting, so how could he be embarrassed.

What’s more, Xu Lei also wanted to talk to the other party about his plan to acquire the other party’s Magic City Industrial Zone.

After thinking about this clearly, Xu Lei no longer hesitated and immediately told Chen Shihe: “Promise them, the meeting place will be arranged here.”

“It’s Mr. Xu.”

After receiving Xu Lei’s instructions, Chen Shihe immediately nodded in response and turned around to exit the office.

It wasn’t until Chen Shihe’s figure disappeared from sight that Jia Zhongjie couldn’t help but ask the question again.

“Mr. Xu, why do you think Masen wants to meet with you at this time?”

“Anyway, he didn’t take the initiative to send us a production base.” Xu Lei replied to Jia Zhongjie with a hint of fun, while his brain was also thinking about this issue quickly.

Regardless of whether Truss wants to withdraw from the sub-region market, Marsen’s initiative to meet cannot be for the purpose of selling the industrial zone in Shanghai.

After all, if you are too proactive, you will definitely not get the ideal price.

They are all business veterans who take their own interests seriously.

It can be said that if you want to know the other party’s plan, you can only wait until tomorrow.

In the following time, Jia Zhongjie did not stay in the office for long. He talked to Xu Lei about some small things about the Xingyuan smart car, and then left immediately to return to Binjiang City’s solid-state battery production base.

…

The next day.

Around three o’clock in the afternoon.

Xu Lei finally met this man at the forefront of development in the reception room of the headquarters building.

“Mr. Masen, welcome to Future Technology.”

Xu Lei is the host this time. Regardless of whether he and Truss are competitors or not, the etiquette that should be followed in this situation must be followed, because it reflects the image of the entire company.

So after seeing the other person, Xu Lei took the initiative to say hello and reached out to shake his hand.

After the two parties were seated, Masen said proactively: “I heard that Mr. Xu, as the youngest successful entrepreneur, likes to go straight, so I won’t make any detours today.”

“This meeting with Mr. Xu is actually to help us reach a cooperative relationship.”

Masen paused for a few seconds when he said this. After noticing the surprised look on Xu Lei’s face, he continued to add details.

“At present, we have stopped cooperation with Guge. In addition, as long as your company can provide us with solid-state power batteries, Tesla can give up the development of smart cars.”

Xu Lei listened to everything Masen said. Although he did not expect the other party to be so direct, at this time he basically understood the other party’s intention.

Undoubtedly, they want to sell traditional solid-state power battery vehicles at the expense of giving up the field of smart cars, thereby ensuring their share of the Asian market.
