Chapter 1345
Artificial intelligence-driven driverlessness is a major trend for the future, otherwise the major automotive giants and technology companies would not be scrambling to invest in it in a big way, with annual global car production already topping 110 million units.
This is the future for technology companies, even if only 10 percent of the future share, there are still more than 10 million cars per year with phc in-car systems.
Turning over a page of documents, listed are the data of the eight major domestic car manufacturers.
The first in the ranking is its own son FAW, with an annual production of 570,000 units and annual sales of 550,000; the second is Dongfeng Motor, with an annual production of 450,000 units but annual sales of 460,000; the third is SAIC, with an annual production of 488,000 units and annual sales of 463,700 .......
These eight major manufacturers already produce more than 80 of the cars produced and sold in the country.
Li Linfei in turning over a few pages, listing the data of foreign car manufacturers, small book of Toyota Motor Corporation regardless of market value or sales are leading the industry, market value reached 207.8 billion U.S. dollars, last year sales of 277.6 billion U.S. dollars.
In second place is the German Daimler, with a market capitalisation of US$82 billion and sales of US$190.2 billion last year; in third place is also the German Volkswagen, with a market capitalisation of US$79.5 billion and sales of US$269 billion last year.
In fourth place is still the German BMW with a market capitalisation of $64 billion and sales of $112.5 billion last year.
In fifth place was Elon Musk's Tesla with a market cap of $61.8 billion and sales of just $11.5 billion last year.
......
The current car market is made up of one-third of Wafa cars, which are popular but sold for a short period of time, but that's saying something for such a good result despite the short period of time they were sold.
Then the remaining two thirds are taken up by Toyota, Daimler and Volkswagen respectively, with the top ten being taken up by Germany, the US and Japan with three seats each.
And the stick of Hyundai squeezed into the top ten ranking tenth, unfortunately, despite the current domestic is the world's largest car consumer market, but none of the domestic car companies except for the future technology on the list.
At this point Li Bingling asked, "There's one thing about your decision making that I can't understand."
"What is it?" Li Linfei said.
Li Xiaomin she said thoughtfully, "According to your strategy, the purpose of pulling in global auto giants is to bundle interests to gain further consolidation in overseas markets and ensure that Future Technology's cross-border trade is not affected by local policy protectionism, so why did you exclude Toyota and other Japanese car companies from the system?"
Komoto is a developed market of over 100 million people, what if you don't take them out of the game and what if others don't let you into their markets?
"Can I say it's because of simple cynical behaviour?" Li Linfei put the document on the desktop and looked at her sideways.
Li Bingling, however, wore a gaze full of disbelief, Li Linfei's series of strategic layouts were full of rationality, an act of cynicism? She did not believe such words, not even a punctuation mark could be believed.
Seeing Li Bingling shook his head posing a desire to know, Li Linfei laughed: "the global car manufacturers are shouted to of course can also be good, but how about the domestic car companies? Spell strength domestic eight is really can't compete, not open a back door they can't eat much share, a trillion can't support ah, their own family will certainly come to me to pull a hand at that time."
"But what about the small book market?" Li Bingling said as such, you do not bring their car companies to play, these small runt iron will hold a grudge, he also does not let you to his family to play, what is the significance of this to the future of technology?
You can't run someone else at the expense of the company, can you? Li Linfei looked at her at once, wanting to say something, organized some words in his heart, then said, "Your thinking is still at the tactical level, Future Technology is playing transnational trade, playing transnational trade must rise to the height and vision of the strategic level, but also can not be limited to the commercial level."
After a pause, he continued, "The eight domestic car manufacturers cannot bring much significant benefit to the coastline, but who made us Chinese and they are the domestic car companies?"
"Our own mu of land should be stabilized, the domestic is our foundation, when the time comes, there will also be people to interview us, hoping to help the domestic companies, and I do not play cars how to help, then we can only give more share."
"But the hard power can not compete that can only kick a few players out of the game, to free up part of the market share cackle, as for the domestic car companies up or not, will not end up again by Germany and the United States and even South Korea to steal the share that has nothing to do with me, what you like."
"Why is it kicking little Ben out of the group and not the Germans? Two things, the first is to go along with the country's new Silk Road westward strategy, so here's one thing you need to remember."
"If you want your business layout to go smoothly you should never conflict with the country's grand strategy or policy, otherwise the biggest help will turn into the biggest resistance, Germany is a European country and the most central European country, we don't take him for a ride now, when the time comes the German authorities will also negotiate at government level."
"Soon after the relevant departments will certainly come to talk to us to convince the future of technology to bring the Germans to play, that in the end is not a piece of play?"
"The second point, Toyota sales perennially dominate the list, the European and American auto giants have long wanted to take out the small book, the world's top ten automakers, they take up three seats, and the chief is also the Japanese."
"This time to kick them out of the group, Europe and the United States is very happy to see such a result, we together divide the share of the Japanese, Europe and the United States said why not? That certainly more with my future technology close, by the way naturally I in Europe and the United States market position can also be further consolidated."
"So here is a point you also have to remember, business layout play transnational trade must take into account the geopolitical pattern, to put it bluntly, the Japanese themselves can not do the master, I want to talk about certainly find people who can do the master to talk, who is the master, is the Americans."
The pressure from the Americans alone is not necessarily something that Kobunko can carry, plus we and Europe and the US are tantamount to the whole world coming together against Kobunko, how can he withstand this pressure?"
"So if we kick Little Ben out of the group and don't let him play, we can still go to Little Ben's house and play without any problems, and as for Little Ben, he can just be a little bit of a victim and follow the big guys in Europe and America."
Chapter 1346
Daimler Group headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany.
A letter of invitation from the Future Technology Group was delivered to the current CEO of the Daimler Group, Eulakellenius olakaellenius, who had just recently taken over the reins of the Daimler Group under the banner of the previous ceo Dieter Zsche.
Daimler Group as the world's top automotive giant, its brands alone are Maybach, smart, amg, Unimog, Mercedes-Benz.
At this point, Euler Kellenius brought the key executives of the group companies together for a brief discussion on the matter.
"I acknowledge that Future Technology Group is a super giant that has risen in recent years, and it is an authority in the field of holographic displays that is also recognised worldwide, but in the field of automobiles, there is Warfa Motors and General Motors though."
"But I really don't know the brain circuit of that Chinese guy, what gives him the right to dictate to the world in the automotive field? Just with the two major car companies in his hands." One of the Daimler Group executives present at the meeting said coldly.
Obviously, he took this behaviour of Li Linfei as a kind of arrogance and arrogance. The automobile industry is not something that anyone can play, which of the global automobile giants do not have a hundred years of historical heritage now?
And for the future of technology, such emerging giants, or some arrogance and prejudice, is seen as no historical heritage of the mob just, but also have to admit, people are indeed giants, earn more profits than you, really meet still have to be polite.
Oracellinus, however, frowned and was about to say something, but dismissed the thought.
Even the old American couldn't play with others, so who was he himself.
"Idiot!" Ola cursed at the executive in his heart, even the major giant consortia of the old US had failed to take advantage of that Chinese man instead of losing blood, if he took such a character lightly, he would definitely pay a heavy price.
Ora Kelenius listened to the discussion of the crowd for a long time, finally spoke up and said to his assistant: "Arrange a special flight to China for me, this invitation, I will personally go to the meeting."
......
Almost at about the same stage in time, Germany's Volkswagen, BMW and other auto giants, the United States' Ford and Chrysler giants were discussing that they had received an invitation from the Future Technology Group, and without exception, they were all invited to go.
But the small book of Toyota, Nissan and Honda Motor Company is suddenly sensitive and more than a little suspicious. The world's major famous auto giants are suddenly all on a plane to Shanghai, China, a matter that surely cannot be hidden from their top management.
In any case, this sudden move by the major auto giants from the US and Germany is a big deal for the entire auto industry.
Toyota headquarters in Japan.
At this moment, in a room, Toyota Masao paced back and forth, a trace of worry and suspicion on his face.
Toyota, as a global automaker, is the number one auto giant in terms of sales.
At this moment, this situation in the industry, led by the United States and Germany, the major car giants suddenly all at the same time to run to Shanghai, China, this makes Toyota Masao feel that something is not right, a feeling of isolation in the heart of the increasingly strong.
And let Toyota Masanao feel some annoyance is, whether it is the Americans or the Germans, none of the car manufacturers to Toyota leaked what information, which makes him more and more feel that these guys are behind the back of the Japanese car companies to do some unseemly things.
After a while, a man with glasses knocked hurriedly on the door, his assistant.
"Any news? Quickly?" Masao Toyoda asked at once.
"Your Excellency President, according to the news coming back from the overseas PR department, the Americans, Germans and other major car manufacturers from the other seven of the world's eight major car manufacturing countries, except for us in Japan, have all received a letter of invitation from the head of the Future Technology Group."
"And all were invited to go, and the ones who went were also global president level figures, what exactly is the matter ...... have no further definite news." The assistant said respectfully.
"What? Seven major car manufacturers have gone? The only one excluded is the Japanese car company? What the hell does that Chinese guy want? Baka!"
......
Just after the 5th Global AI Conference, the next day, many of the media unexpectedly found the heads of Ford, Chrysler, Daimler, BMW and other world-renowned auto groups walking out of Shanghai International Airport at almost the same time slot.
This is an extremely rare scene, as these few big names in the automotive industry alone almost encompass more than 70 percent of the world's car supply and sales, and journalists with a keen sense of smell also realised that there might be superb news in the automotive industry.
The foreign media in particular gave special coverage to the unexpected news, which stole a lot of the limelight from the recent AI conference, and the unexpected news in turn was more than enough to spark interest.
At around 16:00 pm, a special plane landed again at the Shanghai International Airport and a group of people walked out of the terminal. At this moment, there were already quite a few media crouching in the terminal, and when they saw this group of people walking out, they immediately pressed the camera shutter quickly.
The group was led by Herbert Diess, the head of the German Volkswagen Group.
Volkswagen is one of the world's top four car manufacturers, ranking sixth in the Fortune 500, after Toyota.
Its brands include Porsche, Volkswagen, Lamborghini, Skoda, Bentley, Bugatti, Audi, Scania, man, Seat, Ducati and other car brands.
The reporters squatting in the terminal were astonished to find that the world's major automotive giants actually came to Shanghai on the same day without fail, which was not intended to release to the outside world that there was a superb story to break in the global automotive world.
"Why didn't we see the bosses of Toyota, Nissan and Honda Motor Company show up? Did they arrive early because of the proximity?"
"Not sure, but there's definitely super fierce news."
"Call back the editor-in-chief and request a delay in returning to the country to see if we can dig up any fierce news."
......
Headquarters of Future Technology Group in Shanghai.
"All the invitation letters sent out have been answered and all have been invited without exception, the last ceo of Volkswagen Group has also arrived in Shanghai City, the meeting place over at Deep Pit Hotel has also been placed properly, according to your request we have chartered the entire third floor of Industrial Wind for this business meeting." Li Bingling came to the ceo's office to report on the progress of work.
