Chapter 305 Japanese Absence
Japanese brands have always been very slow in their pure electric layout. After Tesla emerged, after BMW completed its layout of the electric ecosystem, and even after domestic brands rose and seized the pure electric market, Japanese brands were much slower.
It was not until this year that Nissan launched the electric version of Sylphy lately, but there was no highlight in terms of battery life advantages or acceleration performance characteristics. It was mainly based on consumer sentiment. It seemed that the entire Japanese brand had no idea about pure electric.
On the contrary, they put a lot of effort into plug-in hybrids, and then they think that the possibility is higher and the government-supported hydrogen fuel system continues to develop on it, and they want to leave behind the mainstream European, American and Asian systems and become a unique system.
From the perspective of consumers, the two blossoms are a good thing for the new energy market. With competition and model comparison, consumers can choose better ones.
But for Yang Ming, the lithium system he wants to develop, or the batteries built on new systems in the future, cannot tolerate the existence of aliens.
So they are destined to conflict.
Either he would hammer the Japanese hydrogen fuel to death, or the Japanese would give up!
After Yang Ming chose his thigh position and paid a visit to the top of the mountain, internal troubles have been properly resolved. Next, it will focus on battery cooperation that has been particularly concerned about in these days.
Although Maxwell is a young company, his layout around the entire battery ecosystem has surpassed his peers in terms of core technologies and concepts.
With the formal inferior to mass production procedures of Mercedes-Benz EQC, the birth of a 200% capacity battery system has been enhanced, and the commercialization of high-energy batteries has given these car companies a signal that they are strong enough.
Although the cost of 200% capacity is too high, from a future perspective, the cost will continue to decline as the technology matures, the number of participating companies increases, and the production capacity increases.
The cost of Ultimate sports car batteries has been reduced by 20% compared to the original laboratory, because of large-scale mass production and reserves prepared to be supplied to Mercedes-Benz.
If the super battery factory originally planned to be built in the south can be completed, the expected cost will be reduced by a large margin, and then a farce of withdrawal from investment has suddenly caused other countries to send olive branches.
This shows how strong the outside world is in its confidence.
Large groups such as Daimler, Volkswagen, BMW, General Motors, Ford, and SAIC have come into contact with Maxwell more than once, and their senior executives have all gone to China.
So Li Wei, who is in charge of Oriental Group, simply invited these giants to gather in Donghai City to discuss the future cooperation strategy of new energy.
In Li Wei's main work projects, all car companies are particularly concerned about battery production, material supply, production capacity and cost control issues.
There are also issues with unified standards for charging interface specifications, charging station construction and conception, and most importantly, Yang Ming emphasized that if you want to cooperate with him, you must reject hydrogen fuel!
Li Wei made another clear statement: "As long as any of your companies develop hydrogen fuel or promote hydrogen fuel vehicles, we will not engage in any cooperation with you!"
"Including in the cooperation agreement, we will focus on this item. Once your company has developed the use of hydrogen fuel, we have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract!"
The translation simultaneously conveyed these words to the representatives of the car giants present, and they immediately started to talk. No wonder they could not see any Japanese brands on the spot, so that's it!
The Japanese and Japanese governments vigorously develop hydrogen fuel, which is their mortal enemy. Just don’t fight when they meet. I want to invite the headquarters of Oriental Group to visit?
Dream!
"So, Ms. Li, can you accept the cooperation funds invested by our companies, invest in battery companies, participate in factory investments, and have shareholder voting rights?"
The public's issue is also the most concerned by everyone else.
Li Wei nodded: "We do not refuse cooperation between enterprises with financial and technical strength, but this model still needs more specific discussion and consideration. I can say that fundamentally, we like cooperation."
Everyone has a happy face, and being able to invest and cooperate, means that as shareholders, there is no need to worry about being strategically checked and balanced, leaving themselves with no way out.
From Li Wei's perspective, cooperation can help promote batteries better. Otherwise, you think your battery can still be sold after rejecting European brands or forcing American brands to a dead end?
Monopoly lawsuits will first let you eat enough, and then you will continue to cause trouble and issue tickets around various safety and hidden dangers, and even let Congress pass bills to legislate to block you and prohibit entry into the market!
These methods have not happened.
So Li Wei said: "We need partners with common goals to build this battery ecosystem into shape. We need standard and specification interfaces, and jointly build charging stations to facilitate various brands... Everything revolves around the 'standards' we set."
"I can understand that this is a great idea!" said the BMW representative. "But ma'am, how can you guarantee that your technology will definitely be used for a long time."
"Long-lasting? Nothing can last." Li Wei shook her head funny, raised her slender fingers, and the assistant immediately trotted and took the thing forward.
Everyone could feel that this beautiful female president had absolute authority over her subordinates. Just from her assistant's caution and actions, she could see that she was very sure of doing things.
Just like her current firm character of technology: "But I have something to let you see what the future is, gentlemen!"
The assistant opened and introduced: "This is the current highest capacity battery we can make, which reaches three times the capacity under the same volume. We will use it to supply the electrical equipment, air conditioners, and metering equipment on the other end to give you an intuitive feeling."
No nonsense, the staff is in place, and immediately launch the installation.
When various devices are connected, the meter will be displayed.
"You can observe up close or ask your own questions at any time, and the company's technical director can answer you at any time." Li Wei added.
Everyone was not that rude because they could see it clearly on the scene. This was just a very small battery, which was visually estimated to be 10 kilowatt-hours of energy, which simply means that it can provide ten degrees of electricity.
However, this is from a traditional perspective. If this is a high-energy battery, three times it is 30 kWh. According to the electrical power on the site, you only need to simply calculate the time.
"A normal battery runs out after 20 minutes, but it can last for more than an hour." Li Wei saved them time in calculations.
"Now we can return to the topic and continue to discuss the construction in this regard." Li Wei mastered the rhythm of the giant summit.
She will define a "standard" future for new energy, from battery structure to protection systems, to interface standards for electric vehicles, or the specification level of charging stations.
There are many electric cars and charging stations now, but there are only a lack of standards. If a group of giants can participate, specify an ecological system that meets their needs!
Just like the steering wheel is round and the door is opened forward... It is a customary thing! In the future, pure electric systems will not cause any cross-brand difficulty in brand use.
People or enterprises that can formulate system standards, the former is a giant, and the latter is a giant. They control the operation of the entire ecosystem and can easily crush or destroy the competitive system.
Everyone here understands that it is a Japanese hydrogen fuel cell that has been hostile.
