Chapter 525 The first meeting

Baixun's situation is a bit similar to Google in the previous life, but it is a step further than Google.Google should be regarded as a pioneer in the field of unmanned driving, and its technology accumulation in this field is definitely the top. However, there is not much news about Google's mass production of cars. It seems that Google's love is only technical research.

But now Baixun, without technology accumulation, has already expressed its willingness to prepare for the production of complete vehicles. Similar, but the benefactor behind the ideal is the Internet giant Meituan.

Regarding Baixun's idea of ​​building its own car, if you think about it carefully, Zhou Fei can also understand that those who were eyeing the fat meat of the auto industry in the past life, except for Meituan, which has already implemented the action, were exposed or announced that they would soon make a car. Car companies include Apple, Huawei, Baidu, and the defunct LeTV. These companies are all technology companies, and among them, LeTV is the earliest, the furthest, and the fastest.

Even the real estate tycoon Evergrande wants to get a piece of the car business. Its car brand Hengchi has not even mass-produced cars, so it has been rumored many times that it will be listed. Its real purpose can not help but arouse people's imagination.

Speaking of LeTV, Zhou Fei once felt that it was a pity. When LeTV announced that it had reached a cooperation agreement with the supercar giant Ferrari to jointly build cars, it can be said that it shocked the entire auto industry. All the first-generation products have been released, and have even reached the stage of mass production. The first batch of car owners who ordered have already got the car.

Zhou Fei also liked the several cars released by LeTV. They were quite Ferrari-like and definitely led the trend of new energy vehicles at that time.

When LeTV came to the school to recruit, Zhou Fei still wanted to enter this emerging car manufacturer.

But no one thought that LeEco had problems in the capital chain, and the investment was once thunderstorm. It took a few years for the founder Jia Yueting to go from being unremarkable, to being restricted in consumption, to declaring bankruptcy.

When LeEco was at its peak, its business scope spanned the seven ecosystems of mobile phones, automobiles, sports, content, and Internet finance. It's still worth studying. If he wasn't too impatient and walked too fast, maybe LeTV wouldn't have this situation.

"Even if Baixun has multiple options for cooperation, isn't our Feichi company their best choice? Whether it is technology or capital, which car manufacturer can compare with us." Ma Huafu thought carefully, and then continued Said.

"This is different. Baixun does not have high requirements for automotive technology. The core technology of traditional cars is the engine. Nowadays, electric vehicles abandon the engine and use the design of motor and battery. The value of traditional cars to electric vehicles , and only the technology of the vehicle architecture remains, and in this regard, there is not much difference between the various automakers.”

Zhou Fei paused, and continued, "On the contrary, our technical requirements for AI are different. The technical barriers in this field are very high. There are only a few domestic options, and even fewer are willing to build cars. There are very few of them, this point, Baixun can be said to be very firm."

Ma Huafu fell into silence, Zhou Fei's analysis made him feel that this negotiation is indeed very difficult.

"We don't have to be so pessimistic. We're all here, just talk to them first. If it doesn't work, we don't have other options. Although Baixun is our best choice, it is not the only one. No, we can still find foreign Internet giants, there is always a way.”

Zhou Fei smiled, sweeping away his previous frustration.

"Okay, I've been in Shencheng during this time. If Mr. Zhou has any orders, just tell me that as long as this cooperation can be facilitated, I'm willing to give it a try." Ma Huafu also smiled, this Time can only trust Zhou Fei.

So many previous negotiations have been won by Zhou Fei, I believe Zhou Fei can also create a miracle this time!

Shencheng, Software Avenue.

As the most prestigious Internet industrial park in China, the software avenue in Shencheng gathers the top Internet manufacturers in China. Every night, when the lights of office buildings in other places have been turned off, the software avenue in Shencheng The office building next to it was still brightly lit.

Of all these companies, the most famous one is of course the headquarters of Baixun.As a giant in the industry, Baixun has its own office building with a total of eight floors and an office area of ​​more than [-] square meters, all of which are owned by Baixun itself.

Compared with traditional manufacturing industries such as automobiles, the profit margin of the Internet is too high, and the Internet industry has completely sunk, and the business coverage is far beyond the manufacturing industry. This has caused the revenue of Internet companies to be extremely high. High, the company's market value is skyrocketing.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the controllers of Internet companies have become regulars on the annual rich list. Xu Yingteng, the founder and actual controller of Baixun, has occupied the throne of China's richest man for five consecutive years.

In recent years, the only person who can threaten Xu Yingteng's position as the richest man is Zhou Fei. Once Feichi goes public, with the current size of Feichi, Zhou Fei is likely to become the new richest man, and the value of his assets will far exceed Xu Yingteng.

The 46-year-old Xu Yingteng just caught the wave of Internet development, stood on the cusp of this era, and caught up with the golden age of entrepreneurship. Grow into a giant in the Internet.

Now Baixun has encountered a bottleneck period in the development of the Internet industry. Whether it is in the field of culture and sports or instant messaging, it is very difficult to go further. Xu Yingteng, who is looking for a breakthrough, has set his sights on the electric vehicle industry.

Compared with the previous traditional cars, the entry threshold for electric cars is not high. As long as the capital is in place, a team can be quickly pulled together without too much difficulty.

What's more, electric vehicles are still an emerging industry. The technology and market are all brand new. No one has been able to cover the sky with one hand. Although Tesla has a large domestic market, it is far from achieving the dominance of Mercedes-Benz in the traditional automobile field. .

Therefore, it is still too late for Baixun to enter electric vehicles now!
What Xu Yingteng didn't expect was that Zhou Fei from Feichi Company would choose to propose cooperation with Baixun at this time, which surprised Xu Yingteng very much.

Seeing that the first meeting between the two parties is about to take place, Xu Yingteng also began to look forward to where the negotiations between the two parties will progress.
