Chapter 82: The Influence of Tianqi Energy
After listening to everyone's successive remarks, Su Xin smiled and said, "Please rest assured, everyone. Once the production capacity of Thor Battery is increased, I will definitely supply it to you all at the first opportunity."
"When I arranged the acquisition of the battery factories, I had already considered the issue of domestic supply. I specifically chose large factories distributed in different directions across the country. Once the production line upgrades are completed, we will be able to conveniently supply all automobile manufacturers in the country."
"We are all Long Country enterprises. If we are not united, we will only be bullied by outsiders in the international market."
Seeing him state his position, the few of them felt a weight lift from their hearts, and one by one, they spoke up with smiles to echo his sentiments.
There was no help for it; the status of Thor Battery was too important. Once released, it held a chokehold on all car companies. If anyone fell behind in the initial stage and failed to successfully secure an order for Thor Battery, while their competitors did, it would be equivalent to starting a track race several seconds slower than their opponents.
Although this time was not long, the impact it caused could very well be fatal.
At this moment, Su Xin continued:
"By the way, there is one more thing. I was originally prepared to discuss it with you at the summit forum in a few days. Since you have all taken the initiative to find me, I will speak plainly."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the few immediately became solemn, and they listened quietly to Su Xin's statement.
"As you all know, Tianqi Energy is currently negotiating acquisitions with major battery manufacturers, and among them, there are even a few factories that belong to you. For example, I remember that Goyadi has two battery factories under its name that are also on our list for acquisition."
"These battery factories have not yet stopped their lines because they still have many orders on hand that have not been finished, and they dare not cancel them rashly. These orders, precisely, come from your companies."
"Therefore, in order to upgrade the production lines as soon as possible after acquiring the battery factories, I would like to ask you all to make arrangements after you return to cancel all battery orders. This should be very necessary for the major battery factories and for your companies."
The president of Yong An Automobile smiled and said:
"Very well, this is something we have been wishing for!"
In fact, they had also considered the issue of canceling orders before. After all, with the release and mass production of Thor Battery, all previous liquid batteries could be said to have been eliminated overnight.
But the procurement contracts of the major car companies had already been signed, and a portion of the deposit had been paid. If they canceled rashly, they would need to bear high liquidated damages, which was also a huge loss for them.
Only if both parties to the contract reached a consensus could the contract be canceled.
Therefore, the request Su Xin made was exactly the good thing they had been wishing for.
After both sides had generally reached an agreement and exchanged pleasantries for a while, the major presidents took their leave one after another.
In fact, all they wanted was peace of mind; all they wanted was a promise from Su Xin. As long as Su Xin promised to prioritize the supply of Thor Battery, the purpose of their trip was considered successfully achieved.
……
After seeing off the presidents of the major car companies, Su Xin took a car to a large chain martial arts gym a few kilometers away called Zhen Wu Ge, and walked into a VIP training room together with Xiang Lianyun.
Zhen Wu Ge was a top-tier high-end chain martial arts gym in the country. Not only was it large in scale and fully equipped, but the instructors also had real substance.
Of course.
The so-called real substance was not the kind of internal energy from television dramas, but merely proficiency in various traditional or modern fighting techniques.
A month ago, Su Xin had purchased a premium membership at Zhen Wu Ge, and whenever he had time, he would come over to spar with his two bodyguards or the gym's instructors.
During this month of contact, fighting had become his greatest hobby.
Although Tianqi Energy had been making various big moves these past few days, these no longer required him to worry about them personally, so whenever he had time, he would come to the gym to practice martial arts and cultivate his body and mind.
Nowadays, even if he only activated 1.5 times Godspeed, he could easily defeat Xiang Lianyun and the other, who were ace scouts.
Even if it weren't for borrowing the Godspeed state to amplify his explosive power, he could defeat either one of the two, Xiang Lianyun included, just by relying on his fighting techniques in his normal state.
It could be said that, in terms of fighting techniques alone, he had already reached the peak at this time.
……
Over the next few days.
The news that Tianqi Energy was going to hold an International New Energy Vehicle Summit Forum was exposed by someone, causing a sensation throughout the automotive industry in a short time and shocking countless people.
One must know that in the past, summit forums for any industry were proposed by senior executives of highly prestigious companies in that industry, who would then discuss a suitable time and location with other senior executives in the same industry, requiring at least one or two months of advance planning.
Yet now, Tianqi Energy, as a rising star in the automotive industry, had only issued invitations a few days in advance, attempting to initiate an international summit forum for the new energy vehicle industry with its own strength.
As a result, major car companies all indicated that they would accept the invitation and send senior executives to Tianjing to attend.
This was like a new employee in a company suddenly saying they were going to hold a board meeting, and it was a notification, not a proposal.
Yet, all the directors agreed.
Even if this employee's performance was very good and they had just made a huge contribution to the company, other employees still found it unbelievable when they heard it.
After all, being able to initiate a summit forum and gain the recognition of the vast majority of top companies in the industry was a symbol of that company's influence.
Did Tianqi Energy now possess such huge influence in the automotive industry?
Countless netizens were shocked by this and discussed Tianqi Energy frantically on major social platforms, pushing it onto the hot search list once again.
Of course.
Since the release of Thor Battery, the relevant entries for Tianqi Energy had almost never fallen out of the top ten hot searches, and sometimes several related entries were even hanging in the top ten of the hot search list simultaneously.
It could be described as exploding with popularity!
Not only domestically, but even on major overseas forums or social networking sites, the discussion heat regarding Tianqi Energy was increasing day by day.
This also incidentally brought Su Xin and Tianqi Technology into the sight of many foreigners, thereby further driving the download volume of Tiantian Assistant.
However.
Su Xin had not paid much attention to the revenue data of Tiantian Assistant these past few days, and he had not even paid much attention to the acquisition progress of Tianqi Energy; these trivial matters were all left to Ding Kuiyong to be responsible for.
At most, he only checked the data reports in Tianwei Butler before getting off work every day.
Most of the time during the day, Su Xin basically spent his time leisurely practicing martial arts at Zhen Wu Ge, and occasionally went out on dates with Liu Xuewei in the evening.
His days were spent extremely easily and comfortably.
But many people far away in Sakura Country were facing what felt like the end of the world these past few days, especially the retail investors who held a large amount of stock in the three major car companies.
As the stock prices of the three major car companies fell by the limit repeatedly, many people's net worth plummeted. Furthermore, because a large number of sell orders for the three major car companies' stocks were placed but no one was willing to buy, their assets were trapped in the stock market.
Many people went bankrupt in these few short days and walked to the rooftops in despair.
