Ye Luo smiled "hehe": "In fact, traditional cars have been impacted by us and have almost nowhere to go. Cars that used to cost hundreds of thousands are now only sold for tens of thousands. Second-hand cars are even cheaper. After driving for a year or two, It can only be sold for 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. So we won’t lose much in this exchange.”
He continued: "But the question is, what should we do with these cars we acquired?"
Ye Ming smiled and had already planned it, and said: "Of course it is modification. Our industrial robots are now very advanced and can be modified into driverless taxis."
Ye Luo blinked: "So, let's set up another taxi company?"
Ye Ming nodded: "Of course. If you look at the taxis on the road, they pull people to see their faces and refuse to take them. This is not good. If our prices are cheaper and our services are better, the business will definitely be booming."
Ye Luo thinks dad's idea is good, but this matter is big and must be prepared. First, he needs to establish car repurchase outlets across the country, and transport these cars back to the headquarters for unified processing.
But this is not a difficult thing for him. He decided to give a reward of 5,000 yuan to those who drive the car directly to the headquarters, and they can drive the new car directly. In this case, more than 90% of the drivers will be very happy to come from all over the country.
For most people, five thousand yuan is not a lot of money, but the opportunity to directly drive a new car is very rare. After all, some people have been waiting in line for pre-orders for three years, so how long will they have to wait
The next day, Ye Mingzhu and others began to study the feasibility of transforming old cars. They bought hundreds of models from the market for testing and found that it was not difficult to modify them. However, the quality level of the modified car is far inferior to that of the M1 and S1, but there is no problem at all in daily use.
As a result, the modification plans designed according to different models were completed in just one week. At the same time, factories specially built for rebuilding old cars quickly followed suit.
Currently, there is an OEM for smart electric vehicles in Beijing, and one is under construction by China Shipping. Every inch of land in Beijing is at a premium, and just this car modification factory is a huge investment.
Therefore, Yeluo decided to build an old car modification factory in the west, mid-west, central, south and northeast of the country. At the same time, corresponding taxi companies have been established in various places, and their investors are all made by Tiangong.
Regarding Tiangong manufacturing, the country actually supports and fears it. I say support because Tiangong Manufacturing has blocked the manufacturing technology blockade of many foreign high-end companies.
In the past, it was often difficult for the country to build anything. But now, if you want something, you can just place an order directly with Tiangong Manufacturing. Although the price is a bit expensive, the quality and quantity are definitely guaranteed, and they generally exceed expectations.
It is said that it is a fear. If Tiangong creates such a heaven-defying existence, if it continues to develop like this, where will it go? The country is really unpredictable and is worried that one day it will become too big or become a tool of foreign forces.
But no matter what, the state supports Tiangong Manufacturing more than it restricts it. It was based on this judgment that Ye Ming let Ye Luo go free.
He is not afraid of God's organization, but he is still more cautious when facing a state machine. The state machine maintains the operation of the country. Even if he has the ability to kill the state machine, how should the country run? At least for a short period of time, he does not have the ability to run a country. After all, this is not the Da Luo universe, but the original world.
Therefore, the current principle of Tiangong Manufacturing is to serve the country, cooperate with the country, and win glory for the country.
The first Smart Enjoy S6 has officially rolled off the production line. The first user drove it very coquettishly and conducted a live broadcast online, which received over 100 million views.
The Smart S6 is completely worthy of its price, especially its automatic driving, which completely eliminates the need for a driver. The rear seats can simply be folded down, and people in the car can sleep directly on them.
In addition, there are also designs such as wine cabinets and dressing tables.
Some good people have specially conducted comparative tests. Let a person drive an S6 and set off from the same place at the same time as another self-driving S6, experiencing numerous complex road conditions along the way.
The final result was that the self-driving S6 arrived at its destination five minutes earlier. Moreover, the fuel consumption is lower and the passengers are more comfortable. Its prediction ability based on big data is not comparable to the human brain.
In addition, the most powerful thing about the Smart Enjoy S6 is its human-vehicle interaction system. You can ask it to do something just by saying something.
For example, drive faster, drive slower, play some music, etc. It is easy to use, has almost zero error rate, and is deeply loved by users.
There is also a "safety cabin" specially designed for babies. This safety cabin can ensure the safety of babies and children 100%.
Moreover, this car is made of super alloy, so even if a heavy object of hundreds of tons falls, it will be able to survive and protect the passengers inside.
Someone has done a test where two S6s collided at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. The result was that the fronts of both vehicles were highly contracted, but the androids inside only suffered moderate damage.
The best part is, the car can be controlled remotely. If the owner of the car is away, he can let it pick up his children, wife, relatives and friends. Its intelligent system can actively contact others, and is equipped with external voice broadcast and flashing light system to attract people's attention.
Subsequently, more and more S6s came off the production line, and users were full of praise. Such a high evaluation allowed Yeluo to further increase its production.
Just near the five newly built old car modification factories, the five new production lines have also come online.
Each of these five production lines has an annual production capacity of 360,000 vehicles. Five lines equal a production capacity of 1.8 million units. Coupled with the previous production capacity of 500,000 vehicles, the total production capacity will soon exceed 2.3 million vehicles.
But compared with the scale of pre-sales, this is obviously not enough. Yeluo decided to launch 16 more production lines within a year to increase production capacity to 8 million vehicles.
In fact, the production capacity of 8 million vehicles is only the output of the world's first-class car companies, and it is nothing remarkable. However, this is only domestic. After the domestic market stabilizes, smart electric vehicles will inevitably enter the international market.
Global car sales are around 80 million units per year. With the capabilities of smart electric vehicles, there is no problem in occupying 50% of the share in the future, which is 40 million units.
Forty million cars, even if each car only has a 10% profit, the annual profit can reach about one trillion. This does not include the income from charging piles.
If each car travels an average of fifty kilometers, it will use ten kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is 3,650 kilowatt-hours a year. The price of electricity is one yuan, which is 3,650 yuan.
The world's average electricity price is about 40 cents, so there is a profit of about 60 cents, which is about 2,000 yuan per vehicle per year. Forty million cars means an income of 80 billion a year.
Moreover, with the increase in car ownership, this income will continue to increase in the future, reaching 160 billion in the second year and 240 billion in the third year. Ten years from now, the annual revenue from electric piles will be as high as 800 billion.
In addition, there are car peripherals and related products, which is also a considerable number. All in all, the automobile industry is still profitable.
It has been two months since Ye Ming decided to trade in and actually announced the trade-in event. At this time, S6 has sold nearly 100,000 units.
At this time, the five newly added assembly lines have begun to produce complete vehicles, and all old car modification factories are already operational. It is finally time to announce.
As a result, all channels, all media, all newspapers, self-media, and even social software were broadcasting live broadcasts of smart electric cars overnight.
The person broadcasting the live broadcast was naturally Ye Luo, who was handsome and loved by everyone.
When Ye Luo announced that redemption activities would be held simultaneously across the country, netizens almost went crazy. It can be said that this move by smart electric cars hits the mark immediately.
The reason why many consumers are unwilling to change their cars is because the car can still be driven, and the cost of changing the car is too high. Especially for some cars that were bought new for two to three years or one or two years, it would be a pity to sell them.
Therefore, although many car owners are deeply in love with smart cars and feel itchy, they still grit their teeth and persevere, always thinking that it is not too late to change their cars after a few more years of driving.
However, as soon as Zhiden's trump card came out, these people couldn't sit still. One hundred and one percent of the exchange price, so what are you waiting for? Exchange it!
Just after this decision was announced, major car companies held emergency meetings to discuss countermeasures. Shares of car companies in Japan, Germany, and the United States plummeted.
What is unexpected is that the stock prices of some oil companies and companies in automobile-related industries have also plummeted. On the contrary, the shares of some nuclear power companies, solar companies and other new energy companies have risen one after another.
This is a sleepless night. Auto stocks have become junk stocks that are abandoned by everyone, and their prices have been driven down to the bottom.
The next day, some highways across the country started traffic jam mode, because car owners from all over the country had to drive their cars to various places to trade in their cars. This directly led to massive traffic congestion near the old car modification factory.
This measure directly caused the sales of traditional cars in the country to drop to the freezing point again. There were not even 100,000 cars a month, but only tens of thousands, and they were mainly luxury cars. After all, both the M1 and S6 sell for less than a million, and really rich people are not willing to sit in them.
However, this phenomenon soon changed. The day after the exchange was announced, Smart Electric Motors launched three luxury cars.
These three cars are a sports car Zhidong R9, a sedan Zhixiang S8, and an SUV Zhizun T5. The low-end prices are respectively 6.88 million, 3.88 million, and 1.88 million. One hundred and eighty thousand.
As soon as these three cars came out, online bookings were still very popular. The direct consequence of this is that the monthly sales volume of traditional domestic cars has dropped to just over 20,000, which is terrible.
As early as a year ago, in addition to Tiangong Manufacturing, Ye Ming established another company, Tiannong Group.
