Chapter 1434 Who's Fate! (Thank You Herrguo)

In the afternoon, Andy met with the Daimler negotiating team led by the vice president in the conference room.

Against the backdrop of increasingly depleted oil resources and environmental pollution, electric vehicles will enter a period of rapid development. However, due to the high cost of electric vehicles, short battery cycle life, and short mileage, they have always restricted the further development of electric vehicles. The main factor of scale promotion.

Major automakers around the world are stepping up their research efforts on new energy vehicles. However, although traditional auto companies have accumulated many years of experience in car manufacturing, they are still lacking in skills and cannot devote too much energy to new energy vehicles.

After several car companies tried to manufacture electric vehicles, they ended in failure due to various reasons. The large sum of money invested in the early stage was in vain, causing huge losses, and some car companies that were eager to try shrank back. .

To be honest, in the eyes of Daimler, after years of technology accumulation, Tesla's plug-in pure electric vehicle is really not a "new thing".

However, there is really no car company in the world that can achieve Tesla's 100-kilometer acceleration and a cruising range comparable to that of a supercar.

As we all know, the core technology of electric vehicles lies in batteries. Tesla does not produce batteries itself, and the batteries used are provided by Panasonic.

Different from the current mainstream trend of electric vehicle batteries, Tesla is the only manufacturer that directly adopts 18650 lithium-ion batteries. Compared with lithium iron phosphate batteries, this battery has more mature technology, high power, high energy density, and consistent The safety factor of this kind of battery is high, but the safety factor of this kind of battery is also low. It is really ignited, and the thermal and electrical characteristics are poor, and the cost is relatively high.

So what advantages does Tesla rely on to create miracles in the field of new energy vehicles?

It's no secret that Tesla has the best battery management system in the world.

This is also the biggest reason why Daimler pinched its nose and confessed.

The reason why Andy wants to introduce traditional automakers is because he knows better than anyone else the status quo of Tesla. While Tesla, which focuses on new energy vehicles, gives its products more technological color, it is difficult to avoid flaws due to its weak car manufacturing experience.

To be honest, Tesla's technical team focuses on electronics and electricians, so it is far less difficult to develop a battery management system than to develop a battery or chassis. The biggest killer is to solve the development bottleneck of pure electric vehicles. Battery and battery safety control system and charging technology and other patented technologies.

Andy knows better than anyone that if Tesla's business plan is to be realized, he must work hard on patented technology, which is the key to establishing his Tesla's dominance in the world's electric vehicle field.

Although Tesla showed a cold and arrogant appearance, in fact, both parties knew that the negotiation had progressed to this point, and it was already a concubine's love, and they hit it off.

However, cooperation belongs to cooperation. Andy has never believed that Daimler will give up developing electric vehicles in the future. With the advancement of technology in the future, Europe and the United States, which have always had strict emission restrictions, will have stricter emission requirements. First, electric vehicles are the future solution. How can a dominant car company like Daimler be subject to Tesla's battery and power technology?

Think with your toes, this group of Germans will definitely turn their faces when they find out that they can’t get Tesla’s technology sharing, and they will always be controlled by others, which is absolutely unacceptable to these Germans!

However, now is the honeymoon period when the contract was just signed. The two parties directly started a business bragging scene at the press conference, which once again made Tesla the focus of major media attention the next day.

A $200 million company has seen its valuation increase tenfold in one year. Many people opened their mouths in disbelief when they saw the news, feeling like the world has gone crazy.

Of course, there is also a group of people who regret seeing the news. What’s more interesting is that, no matter how angry, they evade the harassment of reporters and paparazzi to ask Mr. Elon Musk, who sees Tesla’s valuation soaring to 2 billion US dollars,

Named to Time Magazine's Top 10 Worst Deals of 2008 list.

The list is topped by Yahoo's rejection of Microsoft's takeover. . .

Of course, no matter how much Musk vented his anger, the original investors called to inquire about their financing intentions. All this is for Andy, a business genius who has been touted by the media as having the ability to turn stones into gold and is the best at doing business. , are just small notes on his road to success.

At the moment, Andy is wearing a hard hat, listening to the good news from his mobile phone under the bright California sunshine, while watching the busy work scene of many machines and workers on the construction site of the new Mockingjay headquarters.

"Hehe, that's it, Al, thank you for your hard work. I will rush back to New York as soon as possible to officially sign the transaction contract. Before that, let our people settle in NBC Universal International first. I believe GE will agree..."

The corner of Andy's mouth raised, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. He finally won NBC Universal. As long as he returns to New York to complete the deal himself, he can announce to the world that his Andy Smith's media empire has been established!

At the same time, Brian Roberts, CEO of Comcast, the number one cable TV service provider in the United States, hung up the phone with a frown.

General Electric and Gaia have completed negotiations and initialed the agreement, which also marks the end of Andy Smith's acquisition of NBC Universal Group.

Although it is no secret that Andy Smith acquired NBC Universal, the news of the completion of the acquisition still shocked the entire media world.

Brian Roberts stepped out of his office with a crazy plan in mind.

Just now, after he got the news that General Electric had initially signed the transaction agreement, he called Disney President Michael Eisner and proposed a friendly proposal to merge Comcast and Disney. However, Michael Eisner Na flatly refused.

Apart from a brief lull in the post-9/11 recession, the media industry has been steadily consolidating in recent years, but in the past few months, thanks to the emergence of Andy Smith, merger deals have arrived. The pinnacle.

Today, the global financial turmoil is raging, and the media industry has also suffered heavy losses. Moreover, the current media industry can no longer sit back and relax simply because it has more program content than other companies, and its success cannot be separated from communication capabilities.

Brian Roberts narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes became sharp and firm, and walked quickly to the chairman's office.

"Father, I want to try again to buy Disney for $54 billion!"

Ralph Roberts, the founder and chairman of Comcast, was taken aback for a moment. He looked at his son in surprise. After all, he always got along with his son in the company. Calling Dad, it seems that the media's touting of Andy Smith is still very stimulating to his son whose eyes are above the top.

"A hostile takeover?" Ralph pondered, frowning and thinking, seeing his son's determined expression, he couldn't help shaking his head, and said, "Disney will never let us succeed.

You still aim for Viacom and cbs!

Sumner Redstone's media empire was hit hard in the financial turmoil. His national entertainment company's debt has reached 1.6 billion U.S. dollars, forcing him to sell his Viacom and CBS stocks at a low price of 233 million U.S. dollars.

I have already bought this part of the stock, all you have to do is continue to acquire the remaining shares, don't worry, take your time, Sumner's health seems to be going from bad to worse. He has been absent from the quarterly earnings calls of Viacom and CBS, and I think he sold shares at such a low price, not only to alleviate the financial crisis, but mainly as a kind of estate planning. "

Brian Roberts' face turned red, and he opened his mouth to say something, but seeing his father's indifferent expression, he finally nodded helplessly, and replied: "I see, chairman, I will take care of it... .” 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
