Black technology: starting from ten thousand times faster

Chapter 71 This is disrupting the market
People at the scene speculated enthusiastically.

Netizens in the live broadcast room also frantically brushed the barrage.

Several executives in the Hengde era were also attracted by Su Xin's words and began to speculate on the supply price of Raytheon batteries.

"With our mature production line, coupled with a large number of orders to reduce supply chain costs, and excellent yield rate, the final pure production cost is close to 500 yuan per kilowatt-hour."

"Furthermore, considering that we need to recover huge R&D investment, we must also ensure appropriate profits for follow-up R&D, and we must also ensure sufficient profits for shareholder dividends and give a good-looking financial report. The supply price is almost the limit when the supply price is reduced to 700 yuan per kWh."

"In my opinion, the mass production of a new technology such as solid-state batteries requires at least 800 yuan per kilowatt-hour of electricity alone. If you consider the initial R&D investment and later re-development, as well as enough profits for expansion, their pricing must be at least 1000 yuan or more."

"This price is nearly half more expensive than ours. Calculated based on a pure electric car with 60 kilowatt-hours of electricity, the cost of the battery alone is 18000 yuan more expensive than ours."

Another executive also said:

"It's not just expensive."

"Don't forget that solid-state batteries are a new technology, and the basic impression given to people is super-long battery life. Therefore, if Suxin wants to make solid-state batteries popular, it must use the gimmick of long battery life and arrange the battery life to more than [-] kilometers. Otherwise, people's first impression will be that the so-called solid-state batteries are nothing more than that."

"According to the relatively excellent power consumption control system currently on the market, a 130-kilometer battery life requires at least a 130000-degree large battery, and its cost is 4 yuan, which is nearly [-] yuan more expensive than ours."

"Such a price gap is enough to discourage most people."

"That's right, all sales or demand ultimately depends on the price. If the price is too high, no one will want even the best things."

"Conversely, as long as the price is right, even if it is not the most cutting-edge technology, it can occupy the market."

Seeing the enthusiastic response at the scene and the heated discussion on the barrage in the live broadcast room, Su Xin smiled.

"It seems that everyone is really concerned about the price issue, so I won't make too much of a joke. Everyone, please watch the big screen."

As Su Xin said, he moved to the side of the hosting platform and pressed the remote control in his hand at the same time.

On the big screen, the question mark behind the word Thor Battery gradually became blurred, and the font gradually faded until it disappeared.

next moment.

A few shiny numbers suddenly appeared at the positions of the original four question marks.

Seeing this string of numbers, the audience was stunned for an instant.

Su Xin said with a smile: "Everyone is right, the supply price of Thor's solid-state power battery is 800 yuan per kWh!"

"This price is less than [-]% more expensive than the current mainstream lithium iron phosphate battery, and only more than [-]% more expensive than the ternary lithium battery."

"Here, I officially announce that Raytheon batteries will be mass-produced from now on, and all automakers at home and abroad are welcome to come to discuss cooperation."

There was a loud discussion on the field.

The barrage in the live broadcast room went crazy again.

Although the majority of netizens are not professionals, it can also be seen from this price that it is only [-]% more expensive than a ternary lithium battery. It is definitely not much more expensive in the terminal market, which makes many people have ideas.

Especially those middle-class potential customers with a car buying budget of around 30.

Originally, they had heard what Su Xin said before, and they thought that the market positioning of Raytheon batteries would be very high. They had to increase a lot of budget to get it, or they had to give up.

But now.

Raytheon batteries are only 30% more expensive than ternary lithium batteries, so it is not too much pressure for them. After all, new energy vehicles equipped with ternary lithium batteries on the market are not too expensive, and [-] can basically buy a good performance.

Several senior executives in the Hengde era were also stunned at this time.

One of them exclaimed:

"How is this possible? The newly developed solid-state battery technology has just been put into mass production. How can he achieve the supply price of 800 yuan?"

"Isn't he planning to lose money and seize the market at a low price? But it's not necessary at all!"

"Even if Raytheon batteries are mass-produced, the output will not be very high at the beginning. Even if the price is more than 1000 yuan, it is estimated that the supply will be in short supply. The mid-to-high-end market alone is enough for them to eat slowly. Why cut profits? Is this crazy?"

"He is completely disrupting the market!"

"This is unfair competition!"

At this moment, Zeng Daqun took a deep breath and said with an ugly expression:

"When we were discussing pricing just now, we overlooked one of the most important issues..."

The rest of the people fell silent, only to hear Zeng Daqun continue:

"That's the R&D cost."

"When we first considered costs, we used to think about our own or other companies' situations, but we didn't notice that Apocalypse Technology is different from ordinary companies."

"When we develop a new technology, the biggest cost is research and development, but the research and development cost of Apocalypse Technology is likely to be Su Xin alone."

Hearing this, several people were all stunned.

Seeing Zeng Daqun's serious face, he said:

"I just received the information from my secretary that Apocalypse Technology acquired Wanhua Energy more than a month ago and renamed it Apocalypse Energy."

"Everyone should have a little impression of Wanhua Energy. This is just a second-rate power battery company in China. Its technology is neither strong nor bad, and its output is not bad, but it has no advantage in solid-state battery technology. Why did it suddenly develop a full set of solid-state battery technology after being acquired by Suxin for more than a month?"

"There is only one possibility..."

"This technology was developed by Su Xin alone, and the research and development cost was only one month of his time, or at least, he played a decisive role in it."

"This means that Suxin has smoothed out a large part of the gap in R&D costs."

"At the same time, he does not need to consider cost issues for subsequent R&D investment."

"These two items are the biggest single costs for us and other companies. Without these two items, Apocalypse Technology... No, it should be Apocalypse Energy. They naturally have a great advantage in cost, and they can completely smooth out the gap in production costs."

"Once their supply chain is perfected and production stabilizes, the cost may be lower than ours."

"At that time, for all our power battery manufacturers, it was the real disaster."

Several executives only felt cold hands and feet.

Before, they also felt that they had a big advantage in price and could survive with low-price dislocation competition.

But if Raytheon's battery costs are close to theirs, then they will not be competitive.

As long as Tianqi Energy continues to expand and expand its production capacity, all power battery manufacturers including Hengde Times will be wiped out.

Business competition is so cruel.

Even the top companies in the industry like Hengde Times with a market value of trillions, even if they were once extremely brilliant and sought after by hundreds of millions of people.

But once it falls behind, it may be abandoned by all customers or capital at any time.
