He will never forget the Waterloo he encountered in the aerospace field...
It's really high...
I will never allow myself to lose this war because I take it lightly!
Beavis, who was holding the phone, was slightly stunned.
"Because if they don't do this, even if the relevant Chinese authorities don't invite them to talk, Chinese consumers whose nationalist sentiments are aroused will cause a lot of trouble for us and our partners."
For such a big brand that can increase the quality and traffic of business districts, even if you lose money to introduce it, you will definitely not lose money.
"...Our Evgo will be their only officially recognized charging pile company in China!"
Jinling.
By the way, it’s been two months, why does it take so long to play chess...
"A distinguished guest will visit you in three days. If things are optimistic, we can get at least one billion US dollars in financing to help us complete this ambitious plan."
"I know, dear Mr. Beavis," Musk continued, interrupting him, "I never said anything about letting them develop. It's just that the strategy to restrict their development should be adjusted."
the reason is simple.
Beavis frowned and said: "Are we just going to watch them develop like this? Although I am not optimistic about their business model, if this spoiler is allowed to continue to cause trouble, it will definitely have an impact on our business-"
Although this obviously exclusive agreement and the act of uniting upstream industries to suppress downstream service industries are suspected of violating anti-monopoly regulations and the spirit of free trade.
"Didn't I tell you two months ago? I am ready to play a big game."
But what Beavis didn't expect was that in the parking lot of Yida Plaza, there was a charging pile for Tesla's Evgo not far away. However, not only did no one come to watch and take photos, the spotlight was even completely lost to the starry sky. The Beep charger from Technology Holdings was snatched away...
Although Lu Zhou didn't think that the name "Thunder God" system was much better than what he thought, but because all the scientific research dogs in the laboratory nodded in approval, the matter was decided like this.
Because it pursues a high-end and classy "forced strategy", Tesla's China branch did not launch an overwhelming marketing campaign on the Internet. Instead, it directly brought the Tesla brand to negotiate with major shopping malls. Then they reached an agreement with their brand advantages to install their charging piles at very low prices.
"We can't do this."
…
Beavis took a deep breath and said, "I know what to do."
"It's already finished."
But if we can stand in a monopoly position, no matter how high the fine is, we can still earn back from Chinese consumers.
Regardless of whether it has anything to do with car companies after leaving the 4S store, and regardless of whether Evgo's charging piles are better than those of other companies, even if this sentence is just added superficially, it is enough to influence consumers. The users had psychological hints, prompting them to search the streets for Evgo charging piles.
"I believe you have already experienced this. The person in charge of Bibi Charging is a master who is good at using Internet tools for marketing. If you sign a contract with a shopping mall run by a Chinese to deny the entry of other Chinese charging pile companies, Exclusive agreement, whether you use technical confidentiality or other reasons, you will be labeled with a special label, and due to the pressure of public opinion, the mall will definitely terminate the contract."
He could see the shadow of the man behind the company.
If I add another sentence later, if the battery fails due to charging at other charging piles, our company will not be responsible for the accident...
Lu Zhou usually chooses the place here when discussing important matters.
After listening to the boss's instructions, Beavis, holding the phone, nodded solemnly.
Lu Zhou said speechlessly: "... Is this chess still being played?"
If it were in the office over at Jin Dashu Courtyard, there would be some things that he wouldn't dare to just put on the table and talk about.
As for when to play this card...
"Tesla has already taken action. Reliable sources say that their people are in contact with the Volkswagen Group. If they succeed, they will probably issue a statement similar to official certification, designating Evgo as the official recommendation. Charging pile brand.”
Anyway, even if this system is developed, it cannot be put into use immediately. There is still enough time to consider the name and other matters.
Although this situation did not make him depressed, it still made him wary, and he immediately reported the matter to Mr. Musk, the CEO of the parent company.
At the same time, as the popularity of Bibi Charging continues to escalate and the number of downloads continues to grow, this suddenly emerging charging pile company has finally attracted the attention of Evgo, a friendly business that is also exploring the Shanghai market.
As Beavis expected, almost no shopping mall would reject a charging station with a Tesla logo, just like no shopping mall would reject a Chanel store.
"By the way, our goal is the entire Yangtze River Delta city cluster, not just this three-acre area in Shanghai. Do you still remember what I told you when I came to China last time? The future of the Yangtze River Delta city The group will become the pearl of the entire Western Pacific. We can’t stop them, but we can share their achievements.”
Hearing these words, Beavis's eyes gradually brightened.
Gently flicking the fluttering hair next to her ears, Chen Yushan continued to speak without changing the proud smile on her face.
"Work hard, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Although she didn't particularly understand business matters, Lu Zhou was still curious about how she would overcome this dilemma that transcended technical issues and even the market itself.
If she didn't mention it, she would have almost forgotten about it.
After listening carefully to Beavis' report, Musk on the other end of the phone pondered for a while, then smiled and said.
"Why?"
Chen Yushan: "There is no guessing, it is inevitable. Looking for help from the outside is the most efficient way, and compared with the antitrust investigation, it is a negligible risk, as long as they can control the entire Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration area." With the power output port, you won’t lose any money on this deal.”
Musk does not intend to let Bibi Charging go because it is just a small company with only 10 million in financing. He will use 120% of his efforts to compete with them until they declare bankruptcy protection...
"Our current evgo coverage rate in Shanghai has reached more than 85%, not to mention that we, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and other five car companies that do not plan to develop self-operated charging pile business for the time being, but have new energy plans have already After reaching a cooperation agreement, we will equip each evgo charging pile with a dedicated charging line that fully matches the interface of our partner, and in exchange... "
“My suggestion is to sign an exclusive agreement with all large and medium-sized shopping malls that cooperate with us. If we introduce our charging piles, we must deny other charging pile companies access to exclusive parking spaces in the parking lot, or at least improve their accuracy. Entry barriers and costs!”
Firstly, it is pure, and secondly, there is no worry about leaking secrets.
At this moment, Chen Yushan, who was sitting on the only sofa in the office, took a sip of the tea in her cup. After putting down the cup, she looked at Lu Zhou sitting behind the desk and said with a smile.
After hearing BOSS's words, Beavis became quiet and waited for him to continue.
It’s just a pattern!
At least, we have to wait until the "Dragon" chip is released, right
In comparison, Internet marketing and wireless charging gimmicks are like children's tricks.
"Now, I'm going to treat you to a good show."
"I see!"
Musk smiled and said in a relaxed tone.
"... At present, we still maintain an absolute advantage in coverage in major business districts in Shanghai, but Bibi Charging is expanding..." The name sounded a bit weird to pronounce, even a mouthful, so that Beavis paused. After a while, he continued, "This charging pile company controlled by Star Technology is closely following our footsteps. If they maintain their current development trend, it will only take half a year for them to catch up with us in terms of coverage."
People will choose wireless charging out of convenience and sign up for membership because of the gimmick, but do you expect those car owners to make fun of life safety issues and take advantage of the battery life
The costs of antitrust investigations are certainly not insignificant.
Lu Zhou stopped writing in his hand and nodded thoughtfully.
Hearing this somewhat curious inquiry, Chen Yushan raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Office of the Dean of the Institute for Advanced Study.
"You guessed it again."
As expected of a boss!
"It's good that you know," Musk nodded with a smile and continued, "We don't need to sign any exclusive agreements with Chinese companies. We can do what you said off-site and have nothing to do with it. 'Exclusive'... Of course, I will not admit it. This is not exclusive, it is just a strategy based on security considerations."
"Then what are you going to do?"
But in business matters, how can there be so much fairness
What's more, it is just a statement of officially designated charging piles, and the possibility of being characterized as a monopoly is very low...
How naive!
