Title "Building a Factory in the United States"

During Qu Li's time in Xingsha, a major earthquake occurred in Sichuan Province. Chen Danlin went to help. Now it is less intense than the one in 08. The key is that the emergency response speed of the relevant departments is not the same, and Jumei has only started An emergency response team assisted and transported a batch of relief supplies.

Perhaps the natural disaster at this time was no longer a big deal in Qu Li's mind. For some reasons, Jumei Honor encountered many difficulties in its development in Southeast Asia, which also included plans to export and build factories in Southeast Asia.

When he came to Qiancheng Motors headquarters, Qu Li had a headache just looking at all the troubles. Although he had the buff of "all his wishes come true", everything was never smooth sailing, so couldn't he enjoy life happily?

If the already aggressive production capacity expansion plan fails to successfully open up overseas markets, won't most of the production capacity become idle?Well, Qu Li doesn't have time to think about this issue for the time being. He wants more to sell his products around the world.

Geometry Auto has [-] or [-] stores around the world, but now there is only one Geometry pure electric sedan, which is really a waste. Anyway, they both have "butterfly wing" car logos. Should the two brands be separated or together?

"There is no need to think so much. As long as the quality of our cars passes the standard, it will not be difficult to enter the North American market." Deng Weijiang said that they have conducted research on the North American and European markets and found that joint venture cars sell well abroad and are cheaper than independent brands. .

Geely wanted to enter the US market in 2006, but it may have been frightened. The reason for this difference is also due to taxes. The domestic selling price includes value-added tax and consumption tax, while the US price is before tax.Another negative factor is that direct car sales are illegal in some states in the United States, which makes the promising business model a bit bleak.

Fortunately, Qu Li is a rich man, and his future is so fashionable that he doesn’t need to advertise. He is a star brand in Europe and the United States, and the Honor flagship store is an exhibition and sales platform, so there is no shortage of talents who understand international legal affairs and finance.

Musk’s SpaceX has the magic power to make people prepare their own dry food for work. Even if Qu Li is not close, he will become the top leader in the domestic automobile industry. He has a talent attraction aura. Being able to brag is a skill. In ancient times, this would be a "wise king" What a look.Of course, what Qu Li knew was that there was a cultural barrier in ancient times, so bragging and building momentum for Ming Jun would probably not work.

Returning to the sales of CMOS in foreign countries, there is no need to consider pure electric and plug-in hybrids. Only a few companies such as Tesla can sell them globally. Fuel vehicles are a bit troublesome, but the problem is not big. One costs 10. Domestic cars cost about 3.5 yuan.

前程CS6算4万吧，米国进口关税2.5%直接忽略，到米国综合成本算7万肯定有些多。对标的本田CR-V米国售价约2.4万美元15万软妹币，前程CS6卖2万美元，价格优势非常明显。

While Qu Li was discussing these matters with them, General Motors arranged for people to go to Xingsha to purchase Hive Energy power batteries. They had previously purchased some in small batches and returned them to the United States for testing. After a long period of verification, their The battery performance is truly outstanding.

"Go to the United States to build a factory? No!" Qu Li refused without even thinking: "Being able to sell batteries to you is already a great honor..."

Americans are also paying attention to the financial situation of China Future Automobile Co., Ltd. They know that this new car company has lost more than 15 billion US dollars in four years. If Qu Li had not spent his own money to support it, it would probably go bankrupt. However, it has also created many high-quality assets. Needless to say, Honeycomb Energy is also excellent. Qiancheng Motor’s power batteries and battery management system are world-class!

Regarding the problem of mass production of honeycomb energy, GM is very clear that no company in the world can solve this problem. Tesla and Panasonic are still cooperating with production capacity, and the evolution of technology and processes requires time and investment.

Originally, GM wanted to have more in-depth technical cooperation with Qiancheng Geometry. For example, Huaguan Automobile, which is controlled by Honor, authorized its three-electric system to GM to build their pure electric brand. GM gave Qiancheng Geometry certain technical support in the development of fuel vehicles.

It was originally a win-win situation, but GM's domestic investment basically cannot bypass Modu Auto. The chairman of Modu Auto, who knew the news, directly attacked Qu Li and prevented them from cooperating.So, big shots never hate without reason.

GM now purchases motors from Huaguan and batteries from Honeycomb Energy. The reason why Qu Li is so generous despite limited production capacity is of course that they have had PY transactions.Qu Li's reputation is still very good, and some small things can be solved with verbal promises.

Ternary lithium square batteries cannot be built in the United States, but 21700 batteries can. The lithium nickel cobalt manganate 21700 battery developed by Honeycomb Energy has excellent chemical properties. The energy density is about 280Wh/kg, which is higher than the 18650Wh/kg of Panasonic 250 battery, which means the cost is reduced. Not coming down.

"The main advantage of our battery is that it is relatively easy to mass produce. Compared with Tesla's 18650 battery, it can reduce the weight of the battery packaging box cooling system and reduce the difficulty of battery management..." Qu Li beguiled them.

His purpose is to cooperate with General Motors to build a factory in North America. The 21700 battery is just a transition. The prismatic battery can pass the acupuncture test and seems to be safer. As for the future solid-state battery, it is even harder to say. It is a product destined to be abandoned. , why do we need to develop it? Of course it is for the US market.

Although there are risks, the future is bound to build a factory in the United States. Just like Honor knows that the Indian market is risky, it will definitely get involved in this market. A large multinational company often has no choice. Just like BYD, no matter how powerful it is, there is no international It’s impossible for the market to really beat Tesla.

GM quickly arranged for experts in battery technology to inspect Xingsha. Honeycomb Energy does not yet have a 21700 power battery factory. By joining at this time, GM can become a shareholder, including the possibility of building a factory in the United States.

"We will definitely go to the United States to build a factory in the future. If the power battery company that cooperates with General Motors can survive, it will strengthen our will." Qu Li and others explained that the United States is a fully competitive market, and CMEF will have the biggest impact if it enters. It should be a Japanese and Korean car company, so GM should not mind helping him if necessary.

From last year to this year, CMGE and GM seemed to have begun cooperation, but in fact there was no cooperation. This time is a good opportunity. It depends on whether GM will take the bait.

Qu Li was busy cooperating with General Motors in Xingsha. New news came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Wuxi invited him to acquire Suntech Power, which was undergoing bankruptcy and reorganization. Hangcheng invited him to participate in the reorganization and was included in the list because it could not produce and operate normally. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology blacklisted Yangtze Bus, which had its production qualifications suspended. What do you think this is?
