Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

As a large multinational company, it would be foolish to be bound to certain political figures. Qu Li did not intend to establish a "deep personal friendship" with Maha Segundo, but he maintained respect and did not talk perfunctorily during the chat.

In fact, when Qu Li went to the United States this time, in addition to watching football, he also made a lot of charitable donations, such as the "Growth Club". The boss of Haina International, the major shareholder behind Douyin, is the major financier behind this club. Over the past ten years, Donated $68 million. PayPal founder Peter Thiel is also a supporter of the club.

The targets of Quli's donation are mainly organizations that support globalization, fair competition, environmental protection, freedom of speech, etc. and have high business relevance with Glory, Time Gathering Beauty, and What a Future. Its purpose is nothing more than to cultivate a few organizations in the United States who can serve them Members should speak up instead of looking for connections when the matter comes to a head.

Glory and Time Jumei have been making charitable donations in the United States for many years, and now the scale of donations is getting bigger and bigger. In addition to the United States, there is also the European Union. Qu Li needs friends, "good friends" who can speak for him and his industries. .

The mature markets in Europe and the United States are the most important, but in the Southeast Asian market, you still have to trust the country. Even the Philippines can make a 180-degree turn. What else is impossible to happen? So he is willing to be a friend of Malaysia, not a Malaysian politician. My friend, although there are some inconsistencies, this choice makes sense.

"I am an entrepreneur who adheres to long-termism. I believe that it is the duty of an entrepreneur to do a good job in the company and create more social value..." Qu Li said this and won the recognition of Maha Second, and the rest is basically It discussed issues such as information society, digital government, digital administration, data security, and data sovereignty.

Qu Li did not understand technology and spoke about information technology in a language he understood. Although it is difficult for the elderly to accept new knowledge, he also has his own way of understanding and can understand what "junior high school diploma liberal arts students" say.

Finally, Qiancheng Motor produces SUVs and pickup trucks in Thailand, sedans in Malaysia, and may produce hybrid MPVs in Indonesia in the future.

After traveling around the world, Qu Li discovered that Qiancheng needed to produce a pickup truck model for the Americas and Southeast Asian countries. It didn't have to be too expensive, it just needed to be strong and durable. However, the sales price had to be reduced to about 100,000, which seemed to be the same as Qiancheng Auto's market positioning is conflicting.

Qu Li didn't think about it and planned to discuss it after returning to China. He walked around Malaysia and flew to Xiangjiang to continue working on Geometry Future and Galaxy Power.

The price of Geometry G9/Y9 in countries and regions outside the Mainland is higher than that of Tesla model S/X, but its sales volume in Xiangjiang is almost the same as Tesla's. You may say that they are not patriotic, but they support domestic production with practical actions. Let's talk about patriotism...

Qu Li didn't care about those miscellaneous things. Xiangjiang sells 50,000 to 60,000 cars a year. Last year, it sold more than 2,000 cars. In the first quarter of this year, it sold more than 3,000 pure electric cars. Then in April and May, the sales volume was zero... …

Such strange data is of course because the subsidy from the local government expires at the end of March, and you will need to pay a first-time registration tax of approximately US$50,000, so...

Therefore, there has been no subsidy. The sales of Saboei plug-in hybrids sold in Geometry stores have begun to increase, barely maintaining the operating costs of the three directly operated stores.

Another bad news for Geometry comes from the decline in subsidies in Denmark and Northern Europe, causing Geometry's sales in Denmark to plummet by 50%, and directly to zero in Xiangjiang, exacerbating the market's concerns about the prospects of the pure electric vehicle market. To put it bluntly, it is afraid of new energy subsidies from the United States and China. Disappeared, causing Tesla and Geometry to lose sales.

In other words, the current capital market believes that electric vehicles are a subsidized market, similar to photovoltaics many years ago. Once the subsidies disappear, it is likely that the entire industry will collapse. It’s normal for investors to think this way, so Qu Li accepted that the market value of Futures fell below 150 billion, and that of Xiangjiang fell below 200 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Because Tesla is mass-producing Model 3 with a price of less than 50,000 US dollars, the capital market is optimistic about its potential. Not to mention Geometry Y6, Qu Li did not give a clear time node, coupled with the negative news he has faced recently, capital markets The market is generally optimistic about the future.

When Qu Li arrived in Xiangjiang, he didn't go to meet the investors. He went to the three direct-operated stores in Jiji to check. If it didn't work, he brought in Qiancheng's fuel vehicles to sell them. Qiancheng's Fuyao structure and Yunhu bodywork are quite famous in Xiangjiang. How many can be sold? tower.

The Geometry G9 seems to have entered the Xiangjiang market earlier than the BYD E6. It would have been a disaster if it had been slower. Last year, the BYD E6 withdrew from the Xiangjiang taxi market due to reduced battery life. If there is no negative impact, then I can only say haha. Tesla later became the best-selling car brand in Hong Kong.

It is precisely because of the performance of BYD E6 that Honeycomb Energy's ternary lithium power battery has been recognized by domestic and foreign consumers. BYD is already developing ternary lithium power battery because lithium iron phosphate batteries are not powerful.

Geometry Pure Electric has released sales ahead of schedule. Saboian is very suitable for big cities like Xiangjiang. The driving experience is very good. The only disadvantage may be that the failure rate may be relatively high, so Saboian’s strategy is to only sell in big cities. Of course, it is different in China. The population density is high and rescue and repairs are relatively easy to reach.

Qu Li is also fighting with the Hong Kong government to allow Saboian to receive tax incentives to become a taxi. Although the selling price of about 400,000 is a bit high, the operating cost is extremely low. When they purchased the BYD e6, they received a subsidy of HK$300,000. The car owner can buy it for HK$250,000. Even if it costs HK$300,000 to buy the Saboian, it is still worth it.

Letting the Hong Kong government buy cars is secondary, the key is to establish a satellite Internet company, because according to international rules, satellite orbits and communication spectrum are non-renewable "trap resources", and they are "first come first", that is, whoever Whoever occupies the position first will always have the right to use the position, so it has extremely precious strategic value.

It is not unknown in China, but this matter involves multiple departments, including large central enterprises, making it difficult to coordinate internal interests, and rocket launch capabilities may not necessarily meet the needs of satellite Internet.

According to relevant international rules, satellite frequency orbit resources must launch satellites and activate the declared resources within 7 years after declaration, otherwise they will automatically become invalid. 10% of the total number of declared satellites must be launched within 9 years, and 50% of the total number of declared satellites must be launched within 12 years. All launches will be completed within 14 years.

Does Galaxy Power have the ability to launch tens of thousands of Internet satellites in 14 years? Qu Li didn't know, but he set goals and directions for Galaxy Power, and everyone worked hard in this direction. Not to mention surpassing SpaceX, there was still hope for survival.

"Our latest Zhuque rocket can send a 6-ton payload into a 200-kilometer low-Earth orbit, and a 4-ton payload into a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit." Qu Li said of the 25-ton Zhuque 2, the country's best Long March 5, with special features The Tesla Falcon 9 is 22.8 tons, and the Falcon 9 Heavy is 54.4 tons...

"..." Everyone here in Xiangjiang still doesn't believe it. Although it is worse than Falcon 9, it is leading in the world.

"It will be launched soon." Qu Li added
