If you cheat, money will follow

end of June.

CALT Jiangzhou battery factory starts construction.

Chang Le accompanied Gu Changhe to attend the project groundbreaking ceremony.

After the ceremony, Gu Changhe and Chang Le came to the top of a nearby hillside together.

Behind the two people were a group of officials from Jiangnan Province and Jiangzhou City.

At this time, Gu Changhe was energetic and high-spirited.

The many traces of time on his face do not make him older, but add to his unique temperament.

He naturally lowered his hand and pointed the other hand forward to "scream Fang Qiu", introducing to Chang Le the development blueprint and construction plan of the Jiangbei region in his mind.

"Chang Le, this area in the north of Jiangzhou will be the main engine of Jiangzhou's development in the next ten years..."

"We will regard the automobile industry as a key link and source of power for high-quality development..."

"With the development idea of ​​one body, two wings and multiple levels, we will continue to promote industrial upgrading, environmental improvement, investment promotion and efficiency increase..."

"With Loda Auto as the core, Cheery and Tesla as the two wings, and parts factories such as CALT, Continental, and Schaeffler as multi-level carriers, we will promote Jiangzhou to respond to the trend and take off."

"I am confident. Jiangzhou will definitely be able to take off this time. As for how high, fast and far it can fly... I should not be in Jiangnan Province anymore."

Having said this, Gu Changhe couldn't help but regret.

"However, the runway for takeoff was paved by you, and no one can ignore this." Chang Le said with a smile.

"Uh...haha, you're right, you're right." Gu Changhe patted Chang Le on the shoulder:

"Go to my house for dinner tonight and invite Jiang Xia."

Chang Le is ready to find a reason.

Gu Changhe interrupted directly: "Don't make excuses. How can I still not understand you?"

"Uh... Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obey." Chang Le said.

Two days later.

Jiangzhou signed an agreement with Tesla.

The main contents of the agreement include the following aspects.

From Jiangzhou:

The first is to provide a credit guarantee, with a bank loan of 160 billion for Tesla to build a factory, with a loan interest of 7%;

The second is to supply industrial land in Jiangbei. The land price per mu is 1000 yuan, which is 1/10 of the normal industrial land price in Jiangzhou.

Tesla:

The first is to ensure that after the project is put into production, all hardware components will be purchased domestically.

Among them, the procurement proportion of Jiangnan Province is not less than 50%;

Second, starting from 2020, Tesla must pay 30 billion yuan in taxes every year.

If the requirements are not met, Jiangzhou has the right to take back the land.

This is a gambling agreement.

Jiangzhou has high hopes for Tesla;

Tesla is also confident in its own strength.

After the agreement was signed, the news that Tesla was building a factory in Jiangzhou quickly spread throughout the country and around the world.

Domestic traditional car companies did not respond much.

More than 20 years of hard work have created a group of enterprises with strong resilience and strong ability to withstand attacks.

他们已经完成0-1的基础铺垫，实现了1-6的技术突破，正在积蓄6-9的实力积累。

Given time, the world will have an answer.

But the new PPT forces are cheering.

"Tesla is a hothouse flower, and we will definitely win."

"People are coming to your doorstep. Can we unite?"

“Are the policies a little too radical?”

The implication is that I'm not ready yet.

It’s good to be radical.

How can we accelerate the survival of the fittest, cultivate user habits, copy the fruit industry chain, and sail overseas without being radical?

in North America.

The news that Tesla is building a factory in Jiangzhou, China is making a lot of noise.

A politician threatened on a news program:

"He is a liar. He used our money to cooperate with the other party, colluded with the other party, and was used by the other party..."

The chairman of a special committee said: "I am very worried that Musk is too dependent on China and may eventually be fully owned."

A congressman even tweeted: "He (Musk) succeeded because of two things. One is to take advantage of North America, and the other is to enter the Chinese market."

"Hopefully he will be able to provide information about his dealings with China."

“If there’s a roadblock and it gets to the point where attorneys are involved, that’s when Musk starts thinking about subpoenas.”

Netizens’ views are generally consistent:

"Well, the jobs that were ours slipped away."

"The concern is that other automakers may follow suit or even move large parts of their production lines away."

"With China's efficiency, they should be able to climb out of production hell."

in capital markets.

Tesla's stock price has risen for 5 consecutive trading days.

The overall increase was as high as 10.1%, and the market value exceeded US$6000 billion.

Interestingly.

As the personal "promoter" of Tesla's move to build a factory in China, Wang chose to turn a blind eye during this period.

According to statistics from reporters, during this period, he tweeted 81 times, including:

There are 0 pieces of information related to Tesla’s factory construction in China;

20 ways to attack your opponent;

45 ways to praise yourself for being great;

13 comments that are factual.

Musk, who has always been a public person, also chose to remain silent during this period.

When interviewed by reporters and questioned by netizens, he chose to ignore it.

What's even more interesting is that Brother Asan showed up.

Indian netizens asked:

“Why doesn’t Tesla come to India to build a factory?”

"Tesla has no plans for India. It's incredible. We have the lowest costs in the world."

“Tesla abandoned India.”

The Indian media was also disappointed:

DNA India: “Tesla’s decision is disappointing.”

Economic Times: “We have been pursuing Tesla to build a factory in India, but the billionaire is unwilling to come.”

…………

December, Yangcheng Auto Show.

Before the launch, some media predicted that this would be an auto show where new energy vehicles would explode.

This was proven after implementation.

Chang Le specially came to Yangcheng to watch the car show.

After turning around for a while, I suddenly found that the momentum of new energy vehicles has surpassed traditional fuel vehicles.

Almost every car company has launched electric models, and rough statistics include hundreds of models.

80% of them are pure electric vehicles.

When batteries are no longer an issue, hybrid models won't make much sense.

Among hundreds of models, the minimum cruising range exceeds 1000 kilometers.

The one with the highest cruising range is actually Dingfeng Motors.

Their B-class car Differ D4 has a cruising range of up to 2000 kilometers.

Relying on its entire industry line, it is stacking materials crazily.

Because the battery life is sincere, their booth has the largest number of onlookers and car reviewers.

The popularity once overshadowed Leda Automobile.

Chang Le also walked up to watch. The crowd was shocked and shocked.

Damn it, Differ D4 and Lucchi are almost identical.

There are also differences. The front and rear headlights have been restyled, and the waistline of the body has changed.

Yu Chengdong came to Chang Le and said helplessly:

"I didn't expect that our Leda Automobile would also receive this kind of treatment."

Chang Le smiled and said: "Are you stressed?"

Yu Chengdong shook his head: "There is no pressure. The battery life is nothing more than stacking batteries."

"It's just that they do this, and we really have nothing to do."

Chang Le said: "At least we have the same treatment as Audi."

Yu Chengdong also smiled.

Based on last year's imitation of the Touareg, the tape measure factory set its sights on the A6 this year and launched the Z700.

They also launched an electric model based on the Z700.

Audi doesn't do this at all, with a range of up to 1200 kilometers.

So, there is also innovation.
