Chapter 1964 The strong man broke his wrist
After Rector Morgan helped to take all the land he needed, Rector Morgan was actually very regretful because he found that the cost of land acquisition by Lace Electric was greatly reduced, which led to the other party being able to evacuate in time and use a move to cut off his arm. After all, Boss Jia maintained a high level of vigilance from beginning to end, and the other party was indeed smart enough to be a ruthless person who could cut off one of his hands at any time. Rector Morgan must make a perfect arrangement.
However, when Rector Morgan discovered that Daqian could still evacuate smoothly, the various targets that Rector Morgan had prepared before became very dangerous after acquiring land.
In order to further take root in the United States and spend a lot of money, resulting in the inability to escape the trap, Rector Morgan must wait until most of the equipment at the battery swap station arrives.
Rector Morgan has estimated that if he wants to build more than 90,000 battery swap stations, the hardware cost of these battery swap stations exceeds 100 billion US dollars. As long as Daqian's 100 billion US dollars is built, Rector Morgan can play with Jia Yapeng at will.
On the other hand, Daqian was also very fast. After 95% of the land signed a contract, Daqian's first ship filled with various battery swap equipment had already docked, and then cooperated with the most important individuals or units that reached a lease agreement to send all these equipment to important areas, intending to build the first wave of battery swap stations.
Rector Morgan still fully supports this. After all, there are too few failures now, and Daqian will not feel hurt.
According to Rector Morgan's plan, these battery swap equipment does not need to be fully entered. As long as there is a capital worth about 70 billion US dollars, Rector Morgan can start to make trouble.
However, in March 2008, nearly four months passed, but only goods worth less than US$5 billion were successfully entered the port, and less than 2% of the battery swap stations began to be built.
"What's going on? Could it be that Daqian was deliberately delaying it?" Rector Morgan's face was full of headaches, and then sent someone to investigate the reasons. It turned out that this was indeed not Daqian's pot, but the American government's pot.
Because the US government found that the battery swap stations produced by Daqian themselves did not pass the inspection of the US power equipment standard, the first batch of battery swap station equipment were directly seized in the customs warehouse. Now, it is necessary to wait until the lace completes the standard inspection of these equipment before the subsequent battery swap station equipment can be approved to enter the US market.
"What the hell is this standard test!!" Rector Morgan asked angrily.
"This is a necessary detection standard for foreign strong electrical equipment in the United States, because the voltage in the United States is a standard voltage of 120 volts, while the standard voltage in many other countries around the world is different." Rector Morgan's assistant said, "For example, the standard voltage in China is 220 volts, Fusang is 100 volts, South Korea is 110 volts, Mexico is 127 volts, and Australia is 240 volts."
"With different standard voltages, the equipment's circuit will be different. Therefore, there are corresponding laws and regulations that all strong power equipment imported from abroad must pass the 120 volt voltage stability detection. Only after passing the qualification can a license be issued to allow these battery swap stations to enter the US market smoothly!"
"This is very reasonable!" Rector Morgan nodded. This rule is indeed very reasonable. After all, the voltage is different and the stability of the equipment is different. If something happens, it will kill people if it is not done well. This standard is indeed very necessary.
But Rector Morgan also knew in his heart that this standard only seemed very necessary, but it was actually unnecessary, because another testing standard has been implemented for the same related projects.
In fact, if all power equipment from abroad enters the US market, they must conduct power stability testing standards, including power stability testing.
The same is true for other countries around the world. One power review is enough. Only the United States also requires a second review of the voltage item. This is a matter of taking off your pants and farting, which is completely unnecessary.
But this test has been around for a long time, and all foreign companies have to perform it, because the real purpose of this test is never for safety, but for the purpose of it.
Because the test stipulates that the results can be obtained within a maximum of one year, many local American companies will use this rule to block foreign competitors' necks and delay them from entering the US market for one year, so that they can cut out the market for one year to scrape off the US local companies.
This reason is flawless, and it is very perfect under the pretext of the safety of the people, which makes the old Morgan, who presided over the formulation of this rule, feels very complacent.
Yes, this rule was formulated by Rector Morgan's father back then, and the reason was that Tesla was selling well in the US market, and local motorcycle companies in the US were in a miserable way. So they jointly developed this new standard, delaying the launch of all Tesla's new models by one year, thereby increasing competition time for local electric bicycles in the US.
That’s right, the initiator of this regulation is actually Daqian himself. History is so wonderful. Now Daqian is stuck in the standard review of this battery swap station again!
"Didn't Daqian's battery swap station apply for a world patent three or four years ago, and also passed various power testing standards? Didn't they submit this standard to us for review?" Rector Morgan asked helplessly.
"They did not submit for trial, and they did not even submit for trial," said the assistant.
"Why?" Rector Morgan was shocked!
"Because Daqian said that their battery swap stations will not enter the US market, and there is no need to go to the United States to get humiliation!" The secretary timidly said, "And now, they have brought humiliation to themselves!"
"They submitted for review in August last year. Now they have been 5 months, and the relevant institutions have not passed their review!" The secretary said, "Class leader, isn't this our purpose? He relies on the continuous delay of time to bleed Daqian. As long as the standard review fails, we can delay for another 7 months. At that time, Daqian will definitely breach the contract, and he can bleed them directly!" said the secretary.
"But what if Da Qian can't stand it, the hero will cut off his arm!" Rector Morgan felt extremely troubled when he thought of the word "Heroic Man" cut off his arm. This was a personality he admired very much, but he didn't expect that he would be so annoying now.
"Clan leader, Daqian has invested more than 30 billion US dollars now. If the hero cuts his arm at this time, he will have to pay nearly 38 billion US dollars. I think Daqian will not be willing to bear this loss. After all, even if the construction period is delayed for a few months, Daqian needs to pay less than 38 billion US dollars!"
"Yes, Daqian should not be so decisive!" Rector Morgan nodded, and then he put himself in his shoes and thought about it, and found that he would decisively cut off his arm, which was very heartbreaking.
Chapter completed!
