981 Exclusive Agreement (4/4)
Chapter 981 Exclusive Agreement (44)
Although Lu Zhou didn't think the name "Thunder God" system was much better than the one he thought, but because the scientific research dogs in the whole laboratory nodded in favor, the matter was settled like this.
Anyway, even if this system is developed, it is impossible to put it into use immediately, and there is still enough time to think about the name.
As for when to play this card...
At least, we have to wait until the "Longteng" chip is born, right?
At the same time, when the popularity of Beep Charging continued to escalate and the number of downloads continued to increase, this sudden emergence of charging pile companies finally attracted the attention of Evgo, a friendly business that is also developing the Shanghai market.
Because of the high-end and high-end "competitive strategy", Tesla's Huaxia Branch did not launch overwhelming marketing promotions on the Internet, but directly brought the Tesla brand to negotiate with major shopping malls. Then reach an agreement with the brand advantage to lay their charging piles at a very low price.
As Beavis predicted, almost no mall would say no to a Tesla-branded charger, just as no mall would say no to a Chanel counter.
For such a big brand that can improve the quality of the business district and the flow of people, even if it loses money to introduce it, it will definitely not lose money.
But what Beavis didn't expect was that in the parking lot of the Yida Plaza, there was obviously a charging pile for Tesla's Evgo not far away. The beep charging of Technology Holdings was taken away...
Although this situation did not make him depressed, it still made him feel a lot of vigilance, and immediately reported the matter to the CEO of the head office, Mr. Musk.
"...At present, we still maintain an absolute advantage in the coverage of major business districts in Shanghai, but the expanding Beep Charging..." The name sounds a bit weird, even a mouthful, so that Beavis After a pause, he continued, "The charging pile company controlled by Xingkong Technology is following our footsteps. If they maintain the current development trend, it will only take half a year for them to catch up with us in terms of coverage."
"My suggestion is to sign an exclusive agreement with all the large and medium-sized shopping malls that cooperate with us. After introducing our charging piles, we must refuse other charging pile companies to obtain exclusive parking spaces in the parking lot, or at least raise their standards. The threshold and cost of entry!"
After carefully listening to Beavis' report, Musk on the other end of the phone pondered for a while, then smiled and said.
"We can't do that."
Beavis, who was holding the phone, was slightly taken aback.
"why?"
Musk smiled and said in a relaxed tone.
"I believe you have already experienced it. The person in charge of the company who is in charge of the company is a master who is good at using Internet tools for marketing. If you sign a contract with a shopping mall opened by a certain Huaguo person to refuse other Huaguo charging pile companies to enter Regardless of whether you use technical secrecy or other reasons, you will be labeled with a special label, and under the pressure of public opinion, the shopping mall will definitely come forward to terminate the contract.”
"Because if they don't do this, even if the relevant departments of Huaguo don't invite them to talk to them, the Huaguo consumers who have mobilized their sentiments of nationalism will bring us and our partners a lot. Trouble."
Beavis frowned and said, "Are we just watching them develop like this? Although I'm not optimistic about their business model, if this spoiler continues to make trouble, it will definitely have an impact on our business—"
"I know, dear Mr. Beavis," interrupted him, Musk continued, "I never said to let them develop, but the strategy of restricting their development should be adjusted."
Hearing these words from BOSS, Beavis fell silent, waiting quietly for him to continue speaking.
"Our current evgo coverage rate in Shanghai has reached more than 85%, not to mention that we, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and other five car companies that do not plan to develop their own charging pile business for the time being but have new energy plans have already A cooperation agreement has been reached, we will equip each evgo charging pile with a charging cable that fully matches the interface of our partner, and in exchange..."
"...Our Evgo will be their only officially recognized charging pile company in the Huaguo region!"
Hearing these words, Beavis' eyes gradually brightened.
As expected of the boss!
Really tall...
If you add a sentence later, if the battery fails due to charging on other charging piles, the company will not be responsible for the accident...
Regardless of whether it has any relationship with car companies after leaving the 4S store, and regardless of whether Evgo’s charging piles are better than other companies’ charging piles, even if this sentence is just added on the basis of rumors, it is enough for consumers. The readers had psychological hints, prompting them to look for Evgo charging piles all over the street.
In contrast, any Internet marketing, any wireless charging gimmicks, are all child's tricks.
People will choose wireless charging out of convenience, and will run to register members because of gimmicks, but do you expect those car owners to joke about life safety issues and sloppy about battery life?
Simply naive!
It's just a pattern!
Beavis took a deep breath and said, "I know what to do."
"It's good if you know," Musk nodded with a smile, and continued to say, "We don't need to sign any exclusive agreements with Huaguo people's companies, we can do what you said outside the venue that has nothing to do with it." 'exclusive'...Of course, I won't admit it, it's not exclusive, it's just a strategy based on security considerations."
Although such an obvious exclusive agreement, as well as the act of uniting upstream industries to suppress downstream service industries, is suspected of violating anti-monopoly regulations and the spirit of free trade.
But in business matters, how can there be so much fairness?
Musk doesn't intend to let them go because Beep Charging is just a small company with a financing of only 10 million. He will use 120 points to compete with them until they declare bankruptcy protection...
the reason is simple.
He could see the man's shadow from behind the company.
He will never forget the Waterloo he encountered in the aerospace field...
And I will never allow myself to lose this war because of being careless!
"By the way, our goal is the entire Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, not just the three-acre land in Shanghai. Do you remember what I told you when I came to China last time? The cities in the Yangtze River Delta in the future The group will become the pearl of the entire Western Pacific, we cannot stop them, but we can share the fruits of their efforts."
"In three days, a distinguished guest will visit your place. If the situation is optimistic, we can get at least one billion dollars in financing to help us complete this grand plan."
"Work hard, I will leave this matter to you!"
Listening to the boss's instructions, Beavis, who was holding the phone, nodded solemnly.
"I understand!"
...
Jinling.
Office of the Dean of the Institute for Advanced Study.
Usually, when talking about some important things, Lu Zhou would choose the location here.
First, it is clean, and second, there is no concern about leaking secrets.
If it was in the office over there at the Jinda University, he really wouldn't dare to put some things on the table and talk nonsense.
At this moment, Chen Yushan, who was sitting on the only sofa in the office, took a sip of the tea in the cup. After putting down the cup, she looked at Lu Zhou who was sitting behind the desk and said with a smile.
"Tesla has already made a move. Reliable sources say that their people are in contact with the Volkswagen Group. If they succeed, they will probably issue a statement similar to official certification, specifying Evgo as the officially recommended one. Charging pile brand."
Stopping the pen in his hand, Lu Zhou nodded thoughtfully.
"You guessed it again."
Chen Yushan: "There is no guessing or not, this is an inevitable thing. Looking for help from the outside is the most efficient way, and compared with the anti-monopoly investigation, the risk is negligible, as long as they can control the entire Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration area. The power output port, this sale is not a loss at all."
The cost of antitrust investigations is certainly not insignificant.
But if it can stand in a monopoly position, no matter how high the fine is, it can be earned back from Huaguo's consumers.
What's more, it's just a statement of an officially designated charging pile, and the possibility of being characterized as a monopoly is very low...
Although she doesn't know much about business matters, Lu Zhou is still very curious about how she will break through this predicament that has surpassed technical issues and even the market itself.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Hearing this curious inquiry, Chen Yushan slightly raised the corners of her lips.
"Didn't I tell you two months ago? I'm going to play a big game."
Lu Zhou was speechless: "...Is this chess still playing?"
If she didn't mention it, she would almost forget it.
By the way, it's been two months, why play chess for so long...
"It's over."
Gently shaking the fluttering hair around her ears, Chen Yushan continued to speak without changing the smug smile on her face.
"Now, I'm going to treat you to a good show."
