Chapter 13: Price War
"If they can be blocked, they will naturally add icing on the cake to Zhilai, use their own resources to help Zhi resist this wave of offensive by Huiyi Consortium, and even wait for an opportunity to fight back."
"If the situation is not good, Zhilai is in crisis. They can choose to take advantage of the situation and let Zhilai start financing again to give a larger proportion of shares."
Xu Xiaoran analyzed calmly.
Li Yinshi smiled and said: "Foreign aid is not reliable. Although most investment institutions have a high probability of not letting us fall into a desperate situation, they don't expect them to hope. After the financing is completed, we still have to rely on ourselves."
"They pull and beat, these people are really old-fashioned. Unexpectedly, they will be surrounded by giants so soon. I thought they could have more time to develop lewdly, but now they will fight..." Wei Lai sighed for a moment.
As soon as Huiyi Consortium takes action, it can be seen that its level is not low.
On the one hand, we will win over institutions that have entered the market and divide Wei Lai's allies.
At the same time, directly launching a head-on offensive, fighting a price war, and surrounding upstream and downstream channels is to use powerful funds and industry advantages to overwhelm Zhilai Technology.
On the other hand, it was directly invested in a large amount of money, and it was acquired at a premium of 250% for a price of 5 billion.
If it is an ordinary person, it will be really hard to resist under such an offensive.
But Wei Lai was not afraid at all.
All the foundations of Zhilai Technology are based on the Lingyuan Continent behind its own space channel.
And this thing is entirely in my own hands.
Even if Zhilai Technology really collapsed and even if the patent was given to the other party, the other party still could not create a Lingyuan battery.
But... when we really reached that point, Wei Lai stopped stuttering, and just committed suicide.
Holding the resources of the entire world and having the power to deeply change the technological progress of the entire world, but being defeated by a small local consortium?
"I can't continue to have a negative fun anymore. I have indeed been a little decadent these days, born from distress and dying from happiness. Without the threat from the outside world, on earth, I may really become a fat man."
"Although both in your mouth and in your heart understand that practicing can make you stronger is the only truth. But you always find excuses and reasons to make yourself addicted to games, and even practicing is not hurt enough."
"I thought I had obtained a financing and borrowed 2 billion to be salted for a while, but I forgot about it. The earth is not the Lingyuan Continent, and the competition here is fierce. I made such a big noise, how could my competitors give me time to have fun easily? I am so proud, but I don't know that the danger has arrived."
"The earth is not my comfort zone, and 2 billion won't last long. No matter how dangerous the Lingyuan Continent is, I can't shrink so timidly. I'm self-righteous by selling a little fake spiritual rice... I must break through, I must break through!"
Wei Lai remained silent, but his expression gradually became serious.
He is reflecting and reflecting on himself.
After returning to Earth from the soul of Lingyuan Continent, he has gradually adapted to his new identity and new situation. From the beginning, he was greedy for comfort and found his own path along with the flow.
"I understand..." Wei Lai whispered: "This is a tough battle, a tough battle that must be won."
"Now there is Huiyi Consortium, and next there will be overseas Samsung and Panasonic foreign giants. These are challenges we must face. Only by winning over them can we truly use technology to change the whole world and win the wealth and status we deserve." Wei Lai let out a sigh of relief.
The chaotic information in my mind gradually straightened out, giving Wei Lai a way of thinking.
"What is the official attitude?" Wei Lai asked Xu Xiaoran.
Xu Xiaoran frowned in a pretty look: "Neutral, and a little bit biased towards Huiyi Consortium."
"Zhilai Technology has strong technology, but the official does not value it too much. Because our output is too low... we do not have enough influence. On the contrary, in Lingnan, there are thousands of battery industry and surrounding upstream and downstream enterprises, which are related to the employment of hundreds of thousands of people and the lives of millions of people, creating a large amount of tax revenue. Their voice is heavier than us."
"Technical progress does not mean absolutely correct. To a certain extent, our very advanced technology will quickly eliminate backward production capacity, causing a large number of related companies to go bankrupt."
"There is another important point: the new factories we are building are: automation, intelligence, and unmanned. This leads to the fewer jobs we create."
"However, we don't have to worry too much about the official going against each other. New energy vehicles are the direction of strong support from national policies. In the past two years, due to the sufficient subsidies, the battery prices are high. We are engaged in price wars. From an official perspective, it is a good thing for the entire new energy vehicle field."
"Anyway: we don't have to worry too much about being pulled over. But don't expect the official to give us extra help."
"This is OK, not bad news for me." Wei Lai breathed a sigh of relief: "I am worried that Yi Consortium will ask the official to use external tricks. Moreover, the official attitude towards how to end this price war is very important. The new energy vehicle field is the market and the place to win."
"How is the order?" Wei Lai asked again.
"At present, we have indeed received a lot of intentional orders. When the boss was unable to determine mass production, we have not yet released the order volume. In addition, due to this price war, we dare not use our technical advantages to increase prices. We can only release some orders in small quantities."
"The current market price remains at 2 yuan/Wh. If the first Lingyuan battery has a production of 50,000 Wh, and we can obtain ten times the output through reverse processing, it will be equivalent to 500,000 Wh. Based on our powerful advantage of energy density, we could have obtained a high price of about 2-5 times, thereby obtaining high profit margins and making the revenue data very good."
"However, once we refuse the acquisition of Huiyi Consortium, or fail to give the other party a satisfactory reply for a long time, the price war will be very fierce. I guess Panasonic, Samsung and domestic giants will soon react to form an alliance."
"I expect the average price in the market will inevitably drop to 1 yuan/Wh quickly. It is likely to drop to 0.5 yuan/Wh. By then, it will be difficult for our high prices to maintain. Revenue will become very ugly. We spend huge amounts of money to acquire upstream and downstream enterprises, build our own factories, and invest huge amounts of money in R&D, but it cannot be recycled, which can only result in huge losses."
"There is another thing that should not be forgotten... the term of convertible bonds is only 1 year. According to the original plan, we should take out a beautiful revenue data within half a year to start the second round of financing. By then, we can pay off the debts whether it is financing or revenue." Xu Xiaoran reminded Wei Lai:
"The worst case, if our mass production cannot be resolved within one year, then we really cannot afford to pay off the debt and have to use shares to pay off the debt."
Wei Lai smiled and nodded: "I understand. There is no need to wait for a year for mass production. Give me half a month, and leave it to me next!"
