The 126th chapter tit for tat! The car war is about to break out! (1)

What's the above meaning?

Gao Yuan smiled and said to Mr. Zhu frankly: "You don't understand the above meaning within the system, so it's even more impossible for me, a businessman to know."

"Although I have visited Beijing twice in the past half month, I don't even know the names and identities of most people in the conference room just to explain the situation."

While speaking, Gao Yuan recalled the conference room that looked like a university staircase classroom. Wu Dongming and Ding Songlin, who were familiar with Gao Yuan, were in the front row, while the people in the back rows were not able to see clearly due to the dim lights, but could vaguely feel that their aura was very strong.

Mr. Zhu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, I won't make things difficult for you anymore, but I think the national team will definitely take action this time, but the strength of the attack is still unknown."

Gao Yuan looked at Mr. Zhu curiously, "Oh, why are you so sure?"

Mr. Zhu said: "You killed the First Group, but half a month has passed until now, but you are unscathed. The violent department did not even call you. This is the best evidence! It shows that the above has acquiesced to your actions!"

Gao Yuan didn't say anything. He was not a fool. Before he started, he consulted the military and what he meant with Wu Dongming's wall, so he took a ruthless move.

From the current perspective, the effect is still very good. Shangqi, Liuqi, Guangqi and other large groups have all accelerated the launch of solid-state battery products, but in the eyes of the anxious Gaoyuan, they are not fast enough.

As the saying goes, soldiers are very fast. The delay of the Chinese Automobile Corps has left too much time for competitors to prepare for counterattack. Now, the Western Automobile Alliance is established and will soon show its killer weapon.

Not long after President Zhu's phone number was hung up, BYD's boss Wang also called.

Among all the partners of Gaoyuan, Boss Wang is undoubtedly the most anxious, because BYD is not only a member of the Huaxia Automobile Alliance, but also an important member of the Battery Alliance, and has completely tied up to the tank of Kunlun Company.

Boss Wang brought news that battery inventory continued to increase, and the upstream industrial chain actively expanded production, exceeding the speed of the downstream automobile industry, so some problems arise in the supply chain coordination.

"Don't stop, continue to expand production." Gao Yuan said to Boss Wang with a decisive attitude.

"But the warehouse is almost unable to put it down." Boss Wang said a little depressedly: "The price of lithium carbonate has increased from 40,000 yuan per ton in 2014 to 500,000 yuan per ton now! The current inventory value of the Battery Alliance has exceeded 10 billion yuan. If this continues, our working capital will not be able to hold on."

Gao Yuan frowned and said, "Hey, lithium carbonate is really difficult to deal with. Without lithium carbonate, we cannot create high-performance lithium batteries. Lithium mineral resources need to be imported in large quantities. Atacama, Chile, Umbremurto, Argentina, Bank of America, and lithium mines in Congo and Australia account for almost half of our total consumption."

"The top six domestic top six, Tianqi, Ganfeng, Zhonghe, Yabao, Yahua, and Guoli, although they are also trying hard to expand production, their speed is far from keeping up with our consumption, so we have no choice but to import a large amount of lithium ore, and a large amount of imports will be stymied by Western mining groups, and there is no way to reduce the price."

Boss Wang nodded, "So you have investigated it. Just understand our difficulties. Why don't you slow down the pace for a while? It's not a solution to so many batteries piled in the warehouse."

Gao Yuan shook his head, "Absolutely not. Difficulties will always pass, but time never waits for anyone."

"Let's do this, you can count the flow gap in the battery alliance and then hand it over to Cao Feiyu. I'll help you solve some of the funds. Don't worry, this part of short-term loans does not require interest payments. You just need to ensure that you have full efforts to expand production."

"Batteries are like bullets. Before war comes, you must prepare enough ammunition first."

Boss Wang was stunned and said, "Okay, just do what you said."

...

In late November, a message came from China, quickly shocking the whole world.

Kunlun Company will hold a new product launch conference on December 2.

"I'll go! Boss Gao is finally going to take action too!"

"Why do you need to use it?"

"It's very simple, because December 1 is the launch conference of the Western Automobile Alliance. According to the rumors, they are preparing to launch a Christmas promotion at the end of the year."

"Boss Gao released a new product the next day at the Western Automobile Alliance press conference, which was obviously a tit-for-tat thing."

"A big showdown between the East and the West! I'm really looking forward to it!"

"It is said that the West is preparing to use cost-effective killers to cut off the back of solid-state battery vehicles."

"If it weren't for Kunlun Company, the auto giant wouldn't have touched the price-performance ratio at all, and they would have been forced to lower the price."

"The wool comes from the sheep. The news says that the price of fuel vehicles has been reduced, but the prices of parts and services are secretly rising."

"Even so, the price of fuel vehicles is still low, right?"

"There is no way, the high prices of carbon nanotubes and lithium carbonate have increased the cost of solid-state battery vehicles."

"The upstairs is right to solve it. The price of lithium carbonate has increased by more than ten times in recent years!"

"Strange, why can fuel vehicles keep prices so low?"

"That's because they made too much before. You don't think that a B-class car worth 200,000 yuan is also costing 200,000 yuan?"

"I'm grateful that I can get half the cost. Look at the financial reports of Toyota and Volkswagen, I'm just making a lot of money."

"The truth is that due to the emergence of solid-state battery vehicles, traditional fuel vehicles feel huge survival pressure, so they return to their original value."

"From the cost point of view, fuel vehicles are lower than electric vehicles, so it is normal to sell them cheaper."

"I'm from BYD. 60% of the cost of electric vehicles is on batteries. Whether it is solid carbon nanotubes or lithium carbonate negative electrodes, the price is too expensive."

"It would be great if the price of lithium carbonate could be reduced. 500,000 yuan per ton is really outrageous."

"Don't dream, it's good to not raise the price. After all, we don't have lithium ore, so we need to import it."

"If it weren't for the fact that Chinese companies had bought a large amount of lithium mines in Australia and Congo before, the urine properties of Western mining giants would have been jointly raised."

Netizens were talking, looking forward to the peak showdown between China and the West, the two major camps.

As for the winning situation, it is still difficult to predict at present, but everyone is very difficult to deal with the price of solid-state battery technology.

The price of lithium carbonate has reached 500,000 yuan per ton, and it is still rising steadily.

Assuming that an average of 100 kilograms of lithium carbonate is used per electric vehicle, the cost of this part is 50,000 yuan. In addition, the price of solid carbon nanotubes is not cheap, so the cost of battery modules remains high.

So far, for small cars that use solid-state batteries, the battery module costs 80,000 yuan, medium-sized cars 150,000 yuan, large cars 250,000 yuan, eleven commercial vehicles 300,000 yuan, light trucks also 300,000 yuan, heavy trucks start at 500,000 yuan, heavy trucks are extended in the front four and rear eight, and even a battery module of millions of yuan is installed to ensure long-distance endurance.

It is not difficult to see from this that although electric vehicles are cheap and cost only a few cents per kilometer, consumers first have to pay more than twice the price of fuel vehicles and buy the electric vehicles home.

As for reducing the number of batteries, that is not advisable. The original selling point of solid-state batteries is that they have a super long range of more than 2,000 kilometers to alleviate people's mileage anxiety. Otherwise, what is the difference between them and old electric cars using ternary lithium batteries?

In short, with the enthusiastic expectation of the melon-eating crowds all over the world, time soon came December 1st, and the West took the lead in making moves.

Traditional fuel vehicles VS new solid-state battery vehicles.
