Chapter 1677 New Energy Vehicles

Han Xuan really doesn't like gasoline-electric hybrid cars, which in his opinion is a strange product.

Let’s not talk about the inconsistency for the time being, and the price of cars has increased a lot. Except for the rich people who have a lot of money, no one will spend about 30% to 50% of the car purchase funds to buy a car with the same shape that only has an extra electric function.

Before he was reborn in his previous life, he heard that many companies launched such hybrid models, which were more like products made by automakers because of the limitations of the times and consumer concepts.

I guess I never thought of making money on them, and I was simply hoarding manufacturing technology. At that time, they had expected that cars that use fuel as power around 2035 will definitely be eliminated.

In addition to oil, cleaner sustainable energy and electricity are most likely to replace oil. However, the concept of automobile energy such as solar energy, nuclear energy, etc. will not be truly put into commercial use in the short term. The power generated by solar energy is insufficient. The marketization of small nuclear energy is one of the major problems that many scientists have troubled, and it may not be possible to become a reality until the 22nd century.

What makes Han Xuan helpless is that he must now compromise with consumers and try to trick out the excessive product of "hybrid vehicles" between "fuel vehicles" and "electric vehicles", making electricity, as an energy vehicle, more easily accepted by consumers.

When he bought General Motors' ready-made electric vehicle manufacturing technology and invested a lot of money for research and development, he thought it would be difficult to sell it, but he never thought it would be so difficult. Without oil merchants, automakers were already trapped in the quagmire.

Most people have a good impression of Maserati electric cars. They do not think it is a low-end ordinary product, but it is difficult to attract consumers to buy it. The "super charging station" plan across the United States only covers a few big cities and quickly dies.

Residents of Western countries have formed a fixed mindset, believing that cars should have engine roars and rely on fuel to drive. Even most young people think that fuel-fired cars are cooler and more in line with the tough guy image that men should have.

Since learning about this problem, Han Xuan found that he was too optimistic before. After thinking about it, he turned his attention to many poor countries in the world, such as some European countries, Japan, South Korea, and China.

Electric motorcycles are particularly popular in China. The price is lower than most motorcycles on the market now. The local government is also cooperating to eliminate some complicated tax projects.

More importantly, some big cities have begun to restrict motorcycles from going on the road, but there are no such restrictions on electric motorcycles. They do not need to register for license plates. The daily expenses are lower than those of gasoline, and the range is enough to meet the travel requirements of most of the time. These are two things that can attract consumers.

Similar situations also occur in Japan and South Korea. The British have no good feelings for motorcycles, and their sales can only be said to be average. According to the same population, they are almost the same.

To Han Xuan's expectations, the Chinese government attached great importance to electric vehicles, probably because it found that the domestic oil-producing areas were about to be exhausted and had to import large quantities from abroad. However, it was "ranspellent" by Western groups that had already relied on several wars to control many oil-producing areas. Therefore, it was the replacement products of fuel vehicles, trying to increase the number of electric vehicles and reduce the use of fuel to a certain extent.

Nowadays, the number of cars in China is not high, but its consumption potential is increasing every year. After Han Xuan discovered the welcome attitude of the Chinese government, he immediately sent someone to communicate with the other party, successfully obtained an electric vehicle production license, and received a large number of preferential policies to be introduced, including exemption of purchase tax and import tax on some major accessories!

Of course, that is only a temporary exemption. According to the agreed temporary agreement, all accessories must be produced in China within five years, and a 100,000 jobs will be added within six years. Han Xuan willingly accepted the "unfair terms" that were not a threat. The local production of accessories can reduce manufacturing costs.

As for the advantages of low-end electric vehicles, high-end brands, and exemption of purchase tax, it is not very difficult to find a job as long as the sales volume is good, let alone the number of jobs increased by 100,000.

People do not think that electric cars mean "low-end", but there are also difficulties. First of all, the appearance must be handsome and high-end. While selling prices are low, it cannot be ashamed of fuel cars. Han Xuan knows the people's face-saving personality, so the first step is to let officials use electric cars. Maserati and Kirin seized the status of Audi's "official car" in their previous life. It is not difficult to get policy support. The old man helped. Age in China is also an important factor in handling personal connections. Han Xuan is too young. Many people think that "noble mouth and poor work", and prefer to talk to adults. Even when he was discussing business with the boss Ren Zhengfei of Huawei, the other party also asked if the adults should come over to discuss...

The new factory has not been built and the policies have not been promulgated. Electric vehicles have no competitive advantages yet. We will not know the results next year. Advertising, repairman training, sales channels and other "soft power" have been put on the agenda.

After a certain joint news program reported, almost everyone knew about the advantages of electric cars that were invented abroad, and they didn’t have to spend so much money to buy oil, and were cheap to maintain.

This is an important project in Han Xuan's business planning, which is more important than companies with limited potential such as Hasbro and Starbucks. I discussed with Executive Anthony all the way until I arrived at the entrance of Nvidia's production factory that I stopped this topic.

Speaking of Nvidia, it is one of the earliest companies acquired by Snow Mountain Group, only a few days later than Blizzard Entertainment Group.

Blizzard's headquarters is in Irvine, and Nvidia originally had no decent headquarters building. After the construction of the Four Towers of Snow Mountain, the three founders were obscene to obtain the right to use the five-story Beta building. Now only the factory is still located at the original site.

It was next to the commercial land of the selected Xueshan Group. Han Xuan unexpectedly started to buy it after hearing this and invested a lot of money to allow Nvidia to grow smoothly in this life and occupy half of the graphics processor field.

Today, Nvidia's market value is as high as about 34 billion US dollars, and Han Xuan's shareholding ratio is as high as 36.1%. No matter how much the stock price increases, it has never sold it.
