535 Daniel

A mysterious customer took over here in a golf course in the suburbs of Deep Sea City. This is the first time this golf course has encountered such a thing, but as long as the money is in place, nothing is a problem. After sending other guests who had booked before, using the reason of equipment maintenance, there were only a dozen mysterious customers in the entire golf course except the staff.

Half of these dozen customers come from Shangshanghai, and the other half are locals in Shenhai City. If you have some understanding of the Internet industry, you can know that the person in charge of both sides are Toutiao CEO Lin Youde and Huawei vice president Yu Chengdong.

Although it is early December, the temperature in Shenhai City is still so comfortable, and a simple coat can be used.

"Mr. Lin, I have long admired my reputation." Yu Chengdong said with a smile and shook hands.

Huawei has a great influence in China. Although it does not work in the Internet, it has relied on its market share in mobile phone business, especially Huawei has controlled the high-end market in China and even abroad, and is also very influential in the Internet field.

However, in addition to the application market, in actual business, Huawei has no cooperation or competition with pure Internet giants. The relationship is not bad or good. Basically, they are all in the water without any intrusion, just like companies in different industries.

However, this time, Toutiao suddenly issued an invitation to Huawei's senior management through the third time to discuss a major cooperation matter, which made Huawei's senior management a little strange. However, Toutiao's CEO Lin Youde personally came to Shenhai City, and Huawei also had to pay attention and sent the company's vice president Yu Chengdong to receive it.

The meeting place was this golf course. Toutiao spent a considerable price to book it here, but refused to meet at Huawei headquarters. If there is really any cooperation, it may also need to be kept confidential.

Lin Youde smiled and said, "Where is where, Mr. Yu is the senior in the business world. Our headlines are much worse than Huawei."

"There are no more meaningful areas in different fields." Yu Chengdong said with a smile: "I heard that the electric car sales on your Toutiao are very good. If this industry is ready, it will have a bright future."

"We are also trying to find a new trend, otherwise the development will come to an end soon," said Lin Youde.

The beam electric vehicles have sufficient supporting facilities, and the design and performance of the car itself are not bad. In recent years, it is the incremental moment when the electric vehicle market is beginning to explode. A pig can fly, let alone a beam that is fully prepared.

Yu Chengdong nodded and said, "You President Zhou is indeed very sensible. You started to make an appearance in the Internet industry a few years ago. This is much better than Alibaba and Tengxun."

"They are just silent in their comfort zone and are unwilling to jump out." Lin Youde said with some disdain.

The former Teng Xun Ali was the target of Lin Youde and others chasing, but now it seems that that's all.

It’s not that the scale of Toutiao has exceeded them, it has nothing to do with the scale. Whether it exceeds or is lower than, the future development of a giant company does not depend on making tens of billions this year, but whether it has grasped the overall situation that will change in the next ten years.

Toutiao is fully betting on the new energy industry and investing huge amounts of money to enter the fields of charging station infrastructure, battery and solar photovoltaic research and development, electric vehicle manufacturing, etc. The total investment of these is as high as hundreds of billions of yuan, which can be said to have consumed a large amount of Toutiao's resources.

However, judging from the popularity of beam electric vehicles and Tesla, this path is obviously right. In the future, both infrastructure and electric vehicle manufacturing will bring huge returns to the entire Toutiao system.

But Alibaba and Tengxun are in their comfort zone. They use their dominant position in the Internet field and constantly use big data algorithms to compete with other industries for stability and even slowly shrinking the stock market, finance, online shopping, games, catering, and vegetables that can participate. They are all trying to participate.

Although Toutiao also has this business, it is currently starting to transform into the field of high-tech, especially after the sales of beam electric vehicles are impressive, Zhou Yujie once again ordered to focus on intelligent robot projects, and the funds spent will start at 10 billion.

Yu Chengdong nodded with a smile and said, "There are few companies in China who are willing to conduct research and development in the field of technology. Our Huawei is one, and your Toutiao is one. It's just that Tesla has now built a factory in Shanghai. Musk's biggest difficulty before was production capacity, and my country's large number of high-quality labor and a stable automobile industry chain will solve this problem."

"We Mr. Zhou also made predictions about this, but we also estimate that in the next ten years, the electric vehicle market will explode faster than our production capacity expansion speed. In addition, our price positioning is different from Tesla. At least in a short period of time, we don't need to worry about this problem. Relatively speaking, domestic new energy vehicles may pose a threat to us." Lin Youde said with a smile.

Yu Chengdong said with some emotion: "The pattern of the electric vehicle industry is very similar to the situation when smartphones first started, but mobile phones have a huge OEM industry chain, but cars are not good. In addition to innovation and design, your competition also requires investment in production. You and Musk are more decisive and seize the opportunity. Even if others enter the market, it is a few years late."

"In Huawei's current situation, do you have any plans to build cars?" Lin Youde asked curiously. Huawei's intention to build cars has always been rumored online. Huawei itself has been recruiting talents in automobiles, but the amount is not very large.

Yu Chengdong shook his head and said, "I said I won't make it. Mr. Lin, will you believe it?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not." Lin Youde said arrogantly: "In the automotive industry, we don't care about other competitors entering the market, whether it is the transformation of traditional fuel car manufacturers, or the entry of mobile phone giants or Internet giants."

Traditional fuel vehicle giants often involve the interests of millions of people, so it is not so easy to transform. Internet and mobile phone giants, even if they build cars, will still operate with their previous thinking, which is a fatal mistake. This is the case with Apple. If they were willing to spend money to build a factory on their own, the cars would probably have come out now, not like now, because they have not found an OEM factory and even the design team has not started to recruit on a large scale. They have to wait for Apple's cars to come out. It is estimated that the beam will have four or five automobile production bases.

The only Xiaomi in China that is willing to build its own factory is also due to Zhou Yujie's suggestion. However, without a foundation, a car will require tens of billions of yuan from beginning to end, and it will also require a large amount of preliminary equipment. It also requires a lot of energy to negotiate with hundreds of automotive industry suppliers.

Many of these suppliers are not inferior to those of automobile companies. It is not easy to convince them. The entire headline behind the beam back then was spent a lot of energy, and Xiaomi now also encounters this problem.

Before the car shadow was seen, it was spent on tens of billions. During this period, companies such as NIO and Xiaopeng successfully went public, and the beam car was sold well, and the Tesla factory started to build has made the market look down on Xiaomi's future development in the automotive field. In addition, Xiaomi's mobile phones are not expanding overseas, so Xiaomi's stock plummeted in the Hong Kong stock market.
