Almighty crossover king

Chapter 1259

Mercedes-Benz and BMW were a little bit confused by Volkswagen's affairs.They didn't expect Volkswagen to offer such a condition at all, how could they open it under such a condition.

Mercedes-Benz and BMW are different from Volkswagen. They don't have as many brands as Volkswagen.There are no brands under Mercedes-Benz, and Maybach is just a series now.

And BMW is not much better, just a Rolls Royce and MINI.Of these two brands, only Rolls-Royce can catch Zhang Fan's attention.

Volkswagen is different, with many brands under its umbrella.Even if Bentley, Lamborghini, and Bugatti were all given to Zhang Fan, the Volkswagen Group wouldn't hurt too much. After all, those three brands look very high-end, but they have almost no profit. They have lost money in the past few years.

So sold all three brands, nothing at all.Of course, these three brands alone are not enough.According to the information they got, the Zhang Group also took a stake in Volkswagen and became one of its shareholders. As for how many shares they have, they haven't found out yet.

Volkswagen took the lead, and now BMW and Mercedes are a bit embarrassed.Especially the latest news that they met Zhang Fan but was rejected by Zhang Fan.

This is not good news. Before that, they had predicted.Even if Zhang Fan came to Germany to cooperate with car companies, the Big Three might choose one of the three.

Now Zhang Fan refused to meet with them, which made them very anxious.

Volkswagen Group, the meeting is underway.All shareholders of this meeting are here.Because this meeting is related to the life and death of the entire group.

All the shareholders came, and one of them was particularly eye-catching.

Hu Hai sat there with a smile on his face, as the representative of the Zhang Group.Today he represented the Zhang Group to attend the shareholders meeting.

In fact, the Zhang Group has been quietly acquiring shares in the Volkswagen Group.At first the acquisition was made in the stock market, and later through others, some shares were acquired from some shareholders.

The stock of Volkswagen Group is at its lowest level now, and it is also the best time to buy bottoms.

Through a series of operations, the Zhang Group holds 30.00% of the shares of the Volkswagen Group.

It's just that Zhang's Group didn't take the lead before, and those who sold their stocks were also entrusted by Zhang's Group to continue to act as shareholders.

Now there is no need to act, so Hu Hai is here.Holding 30.00% of the three shareholders in his hand, he became the largest shareholder of the Volkswagen Group.

However, the 30.00% of the shares do not all belong to the Zhang Group in name.

Because Volkswagen stipulates that, except for the state government, each shareholder shall not exceed a maximum of 5.00% of the shares.Therefore, the 30.00% shares held by the Zhang Group are scattered in different companies.

However, the company that controls these shares is still Zhang Fan.However, the shares controlled by Zhang Fan do not have much say.

The state government has the greatest say, and the state government has a veto power.Zhang Fan controlled these shares and didn't ask for too much rights, the most important thing was dividends.

"Everyone, let me introduce you first. Hu Hai is the representative of the Zhang Group. He is also the client of several other shareholders..."

George first introduced Hu Hai, and everyone took a breath when they heard that Hu Hai owned 30.00% of the shares.

You must know that the private shares of the Volkswagen Group are only 80.00% in total.Now almost half of them are in Zhang Fan's hands.

But this news also made all shareholders excited.Since Zhang Fan owns so many shares, the cooperation between Volkswagen Group and Tesla Group is naturally not a problem.

"We held a meeting today. There is one thing to tell everyone. That is, our Volkswagen Group will reach a partnership with the Tesla Group. Our cars under the Volkswagen Group will simultaneously use Tesla Group's technology..."

George began to announce the good news through these few days of negotiations.Their collaboration is finally finalized.

Zhang Fan bought 30.00% of the shares. At the same time, the Volkswagen Group sold Bentley, Lamborghini, and Bugatti to the Tesla Group for one euro.

In return, Tesla and the Volkswagen Group will cooperate in an all-round way.The Volkswagen Group can directly purchase batteries, batteries and other accessories from the Tesla Group, or directly use some of Tesla's current technologies.

However, Tesla's unique intelligent driverless system is not within the scope of cooperation.At present, Tesla's intelligent unmanned driving system is the most advanced unmanned driving system in the world.

Using artificial intelligence and smart chips, it can realize unmanned driving in the true sense.However, the system is still expensive.

It is currently only used on Tesla, Maserati, and Aston Martin.Other brands are just ordinary auxiliary systems installed.

Even so, it is very good news for the Volkswagen Group.For the Volkswagen Group, the most important thing is the all-solid-state battery.

For the Volkswagen brand, they still have some competitiveness with lithium batteries.However, the two brands of Audi and Porsche are not competitive at all in the face of Tesla and Maserati, which use all-solid-state batteries.

Now when it comes to luxury brand electric vehicles, the first thing everyone thinks of is all-solid-state batteries.Without all-solid-state batteries, you are ashamed to say that it is a luxury brand.

With the current lithium battery, even if your electronic control technology is awesome.You can only achieve a maximum range of 700 kilometers.

But with all-solid-state batteries, 700 kilometers is the most common.Now Tesla and Maserati, some models have a cruising range of 1200 kilometers or even longer.

For cars of the same level, Audi has a battery life of 700 kilometers, and Tesla has a battery life of 1000 kilometers.This level is different. After all, for electric vehicles, the cruising range is the most basic.

In addition to battery life, there is also the attenuation of battery energy.In this technology, Tesla is equally awesome.Tesla now has the technology that can control the temperature decay of the battery to about 5.00%.

That is to say, in the northern region, there is basically no difference in battery life between winter and summer.This is something that other companies cannot currently do.

Even the Volkswagen Group, they are working hard to study this technology.But after their tests, the attenuation range in winter and summer is still around 20.00%.

Some technologies cannot be caught up in a short period of time before they invest in them.What's more, experts in this area were poached by Tesla Group early on.

Now, form a cooperation with Tesla.Key components are sourced directly from Tesla.In this way, the Volkswagen Group can make its cars have the same performance as the Tesla Group in the shortest possible time.

So this meeting was extremely important, and the meeting lasted for nearly two hours before it ended.After the end, George notified him and prepared to hold a press conference.
