Chapter 106 Discussion with Senior Officials of Sakura Country

Driven by the Xiaozhi driving system, the sales of local car companies in Dragon Kingdom have skyrocketed.

Starting from the second day of New Year's Day.

The 4S stores owned by the top local car companies in Longguo are almost all crowded with users looking at and buying cars.

Many news media and self-media also swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, reporting on the grand achievements of various car companies, and some released some explanation and evaluation videos.

Vehicles equipped with Xiaozhi driving systems are popping up all over the country.

The dark green license plate is obviously different from the conventional new energy vehicle license plate, and it is completely different from the traditional fuel vehicle.

In addition, after smart driving is turned on, there will be obvious signal lights on all sides of the car body.

After being bombarded with news one after another, even those who don’t pay much attention to cars know that this is the symbol of smart driving cars.

Due to the limitations of the production capacity of various manufacturers, although there are many orders, the actual delivery to users is spread across the country. In many cities, there are only a few dozen vehicles, and more people are booking and waiting for cars.

Therefore, every smart driving car on the road will attract the curious and eager eyes of a large number of passers-by.

This greatly satisfies the vanity of many people.

And just when the Longguo automobile industry is in a state of joy, car companies from other countries only feel a chill in their hearts.

Their new models were not only met with lukewarm success in the Longguo market, but even in their home market, they were somewhat unable to compete with Longguo car companies.

Although Longguo car companies export to the country, they are supported by a large amount of taxation, and the prices are often relatively high, but the cost of purchasing Thor batteries for their car companies is also higher than that of Longguo car companies.

The two cancel each other out.

The price gap between the two sides is actually not big.

In addition, some car companies in Longguo have made early efforts on the new energy track in recent years, and they actually have certain advantages in terms of production scale, after-sales management, cost control and reputation.

At least in the impression of many users in this country, Longguo new energy vehicles are pretty good.

Nowadays, with the powerful Xiaozhi driving system, its technical advantages are far ahead of other car companies from various countries.

Even if Xiaozhi cannot drive normally in countries other than Dragon Kingdom due to legal and regulatory issues, many users are still looking forward to it. Maybe one day their country will also open driverless driving. If they buy a new energy vehicle from Dragon Kingdom, they will be able to drive in it. You can directly turn on the driverless mode.

On the other hand, if you buy a car from a foreign country, you may not be able to enjoy this technological advantage even if your country opens its driverless policy in the future.

In contrast, everyone is naturally more willing to buy a Longguo car with Xiaozhi driving system.

not to mention.

After evaluation by many bloggers, everyone knows that even if the Xiaozhi driving system prohibits the complete functions of driverless driving and only enables L2 and L3 levels of assisted driving and automatic driving, its driving logic is far more powerful than other cars.

With such huge advantages and the price difference is not that big, how can it not be popular among everyone?

Since Su Xin opened the cooperation with Xiaozhi driving system, the major car companies in Longguo are like generals wearing armor. They not only compete with each other and shine in the Longguo market, but also continue to conquer cities and territories in overseas markets.

Sales are on the rise!

All this has brought about a crazy increase in the loading capacity of Xiaozhi's driving system, bringing a huge amount of funds to Tianqi Equipment Company.

With a licensing fee of RMB 10,000 per vehicle, the total number of authorized vehicles of each car company exceeds 20,000 units per day, which is a daily revenue of more than RMB 200 million.

Moreover, the number of vehicles applied for authorization by major car companies is still growing explosively.

The most important thing is.

The cost of Xiaozhi's driving system is too low. After excluding all labor and operation costs, as well as traffic risks and other costs, the profit is as high as more than 95%, which is comparable to a money grab.

No, it’s not that quick to grab money.

More than 200 million dragon coins have to be transported by truckload every day. Which gangster can have such exaggerated money-grabbing efficiency? Even if the bank is undefended, all these gangsters can be exhausted just by loading and transporting money.

at the same time.

With the hot sales of various models, major car companies have placed additional orders for Thor batteries and successively transferred prepayments to Tianqi Energy's account.

Based on the current pure electric models, on average, the battery of each vehicle is about 70 kWh, and the purchase price is about 56,000 dragon coins.

The unit price is much higher than that of the Xiaozhi driving system.

What's more, the Xiaozhi driving system is currently only installed on the models of local car companies in Longguo, and Thor batteries are required for every new energy vehicle produced in the world.

Even if the sales volume of car companies from other countries are not as good as that of Longguo car companies, the total loading capacity is much greater than that of Longguo car companies.

Therefore, Tianqi Energy's revenue and profits are much more terrifying than Tianqi Equipment.

Of course, Apocalypse Equipment also owns Xiaotian Flight Systems, which has received large orders from the military and several major UAV manufacturers in recent days, which has also brought a steady stream of funds to Apocalypse Equipment.

Anyway.

The two companies Tianqi Energy and Tianqi Equipment have become two of the most popular companies in the world in recent days, and can be called top unicorn companies worldwide.

…

at the same time.

In a spacious and bright conference room in Sakura Country, the three major car companies and several official executives sat together to discuss the future of the automotive industry.

"The era of new energy vehicles has officially arrived, but in this new era, we are all behind Longguo car companies. Not only are the core battery technology stuck, but the soul technology of intelligent driving is also far behind the other party."

"In Longguo, the largest auto market, we have lost our competitiveness. The number of pre-sale orders for various models in the past few days is about 50% lower than expected."

"Even in the domestic market, many people are rushing to buy Longguo cars, and everyone's recognition and enthusiasm for the Longguo brand is getting higher and higher."

"If this continues, my country's entire auto industry chain will probably lose all living space under the pressure of Longguo auto companies."

"This is definitely a catastrophe for our country." Xiaoxi and Shi Susheng, presidents of Yutian Group, said.

"Then what should we do now? When you decisively abandoned the fuel vehicle industry and entered the new energy track regardless of everything, didn't you expect this day?"

An official gave Xiaoxi and Shi a cold look, and said with a soft snort.

At the beginning, the three major car companies abandoned the fuel vehicle industry together. In addition to the heavy losses suffered by the three major car companies themselves, many people were unemployed, many companies went bankrupt, and even the economy of the entire Cherry Blossom Country was turbulent. If it were not for the above Helping them wipe their buttocks and spending a huge price to maintain stability, I am afraid that the society of Cherry Blossom Country will be in turmoil.

The decision of the three major car companies made the government and the entire society of Cherry Blossom Country bear the consequences.
