Chapter 1639: Car Companies Panic

"Okay, okay, this is how you play, right? Wang Chuanfu, you are an old boy, you can do it, but you are willing to be a small boy and go to Jiuzhou Technology to negotiate this kind of cooperation."

When he said this, Mr. Wu from the Lingbo Company gritted his teeth.

After joining hands with Stellantis Group, a large overseas enterprise, and receiving an investment of over HK$8.5 billion, Leapmotor has successively received strategic investments totaling over HK$15 billion.

And other strategic investors are basically from Xia Zi-backed investment companies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Faced with such a "spineless" move by BYD, Mr. Wu from the Leap Running Company changed his gnashing of teeth yesterday when being interviewed by media reporters. Instead, he felt the breeze blowing on his face and spoke in a supportive tone: : "Jiuzhou Technology is the leader among independent brand technology companies in Daxia, and BYD is the sales champion among new energy vehicle companies in Daxia. The powerful combination of the two should bring more benefits to consumers. Excellent products will definitely bring new development opportunities to our new energy vehicle industry.”

Later, Mr. Wu changed his voice and said: "Our Leapmotor Company has also maintained a close cooperative relationship with Jiuzhou Technology. We have the supply authorization of Jiuzhou Technology's graphene super copper motor products, and we also have Jiuzhou Technology's official Sales share of manufactured high-capacity and high-safety sodium-ion solid-state batteries.

And in the capital financial market, we at Lingpao also have over 10 billion in funds for new technology research and development investment, marketing, production capacity improvement, and operating funds.

I can promise consumers and shareholders that we will use more than 70% of our funds to expand and upgrade our smart electric vehicle portfolio, expand our R&D team, improve electrification technology, and enhance autonomous driving and smart cockpits. The development of advanced automotive intelligent technologies such as systems.

The remaining 30% is used for marketing, expanding sales and service networks, expanding overseas markets, improving production capabilities and automation capabilities, and enhancing vertical integration and operational efficiency.

The directors and major shareholders of Lingpao Company will not pay dividends in the next year! The company's senior management and technical positions will not receive a salary increase, and will learn from Jiuzhou Technology's project dividend system to provide more salary subsidies for technical R&D personnel. "

At the beginning, a business tycoon once made a bold statement, saying: "If you don't have tens of billions, don't enter the new energy vehicle market to burn money."

Under the leadership of Mr. Wu, the Leap Motor Company has not only controlled its cash burn to a certain extent, but its market share has also grown. In many places, it has begun to compete with BYAT's mid-range dynasty car series. , naturally has its own uniqueness.

With the "proofing" of Mr. Wu from Leapmotor, other car companies in the Daxia new energy vehicle market also immediately held their own press conferences.

Xiaopeng Automobile, Weilai, Lixiang, Nezha, Geely, Jihu, Guangai, Weipai, Gaohe, Lantu, Anchang... there are piles and piles of CEOs and directors of new energy vehicle companies. The bosses all said similar words to Mr. Wu of the Zero Running Company.

"We will deepen cooperation with Jiuzhou Technology, conduct more close technical exchanges, and increase investment in self-developed technology..."

"In the future, Nezha will devote more energy to product technology research and development and consumer services. At the same time, it will have in-depth cooperation and exchanges with Jiuzhou Technology to strive to provide more interesting, fun, practical and safe new functions to consumers..."

"This time our company has received a strategic investment of 581 million Xia Yuan, and we will invest all this money in scientific research projects developed in cooperation with Jiuzhou Technology..."

If the broken window effect refers to minor uncleanness or irregularities in the environment, such as illegal parking, graffiti, etc., if not managed or corrected, it may lead to more serious violations.

Order and compliance with the law in a place influence the behavior of others. If order is disrupted, others may believe that the law is not effective in constraining their behavior, thereby increasing the likelihood of breaking the law.

So this cooperation between Jiuzhou Technology and BYD is like smashing the largest floor-to-ceiling window in the new energy vehicle market, revealing the new energy vehicle that is already thinking about the alarm bell inside.

The Jiuzhou Technology and Business Department has indeed received invitations for cooperation and discussion from many new energy vehicle companies.

At this time, an embarrassing situation occurred. The Jiuzhou Science and Technology Business Cooperation Department’s team responsible for cooperation with car companies was short of personnel!

If car companies want to discuss cooperation, they must queue up and wait for arrangements...

Of course, some companies that have signed close cooperation agreements with Jiuzhou Technology before do not need to wait in line for arrangements. They only need to directly notify the President Office of Jiuzhou Technology, and then wait for the President Office to negotiate with the heads of the corresponding cooperation departments.

Originally, these new energy vehicle companies in Daxia were still somewhat dissatisfied. After all, this kind of cooperation, in various senses, was them "backing up" Jiuzhou Technology, and Jiuzhou Technology was actually "picky".

However, after the staff of Jiuzhou Technology explained clearly, this dissatisfaction immediately turned into happiness.

Some car company presidents even said: "It's okay. Our company can wait. Just wait a few days and we can continue talking when you are done."

"Others have come from afar. Since the official is also urging them to do so, we are not in a hurry. Everyone just follows the rules."

The reason for this special situation is that after the news in Daxia was transmitted to overseas markets, car companies in other countries and regions of Blue Star seemed to have made up their minds. More than 100 car companies began to contact Jiuzhou Technology, wanting this huge technology company to cooperate with their own companies.

Such a large number of cooperative enterprises not only represents the asset scale that is too large to be easily counted, but also represents the official capital behind them.

They traveled thousands of miles to find a Daxia company to "learn from it".

This matter naturally alarmed the Daxia officials.

After understanding the situation clearly, the Daxia officials immediately communicated with Jiuzhou Technology. Although they did not deliberately specify what Jiuzhou Technology should do, the person in charge still persuaded them a little: "For the international situation..."

Gu Qing was also unable to immerse himself in research work because of this matter, and had to attend a high-level meeting.

In the end, he also got the bottom line given by the official, that is, confidentiality and unique technologies cannot be leaked, and technologies like the initial version of BYT's hybrid technology can be allowed.

Despite this, Gu Qing did not forget his original intention.

Regarding cooperation requests from overseas car companies, his requirements are very simple, that is, no money, only minerals and human resources.
