Financial freedom starts with a monthly income of XNUMX

Chapter 385 Musk's Thoughts
When Gao Yuan finished arranging everything and started to go home, it was already past 1 a.m.

The Magic City was a little quieter at this time than during the day. While the car was driving on the road, Gao Yuan closed his eyes and rested in the back seat.

He couldn't help but think about what would happen next.

The Far Traveler has been considered a success so far, and it is likely that no other car company in the world can achieve such sales volume.

The next challenge for Yuanfang Auto is whether it can deliver on time.

In particular, customers must not be made to wait too long, otherwise some customers will definitely complain, which will also affect the reputation of Yuanfang Automobile.

This Yuanxing is just a tentative move by Yuanfang Automobile into the automobile market.

By quickly impacting the market with low-priced, high-quality products, we have occupied a certain market share and established a good reputation among users.

In the future, the Wuling brand will continue to develop more car models and gradually occupy a larger market share.

Another thing is to be polite to the NIO brand.

At present, Li Bin has begun to manage the overall operation of Yuanfang Auto. As NIO is a brand that wants to compete with BBA, Gao Yuan will also use the AI ​​design workshop again to optimize the design of NIO's existing vehicles.

All we need is for NIO to keep up.

After all, the important point is the 34 official vehicles specially built by Yuanfang Automobile.

Although the vehicle is a B-class sedan, it has great significance for the distance.

Once all official vehicles in the country become Yuanfang brand, this brand promotion will make Yuanfang completely popular.

After half an hour.

Gao Yuan returned to the manor. The four women were still waiting for him, but his parents and his sister's family had already rested.

He was a little hungry at this time, so he asked the chef to prepare some food. Then Gao Yuan went upstairs with the four of them to rest.

He slept very soundly, but at this time in the Magic City Marriott Hotel, some people were not sleeping well.

After the Yuanfang Auto press conference ended, seven or eight CEOs from car companies gathered together.

It was originally just a meeting to eat something and chat, but it turned into a criticism meeting against someone far away.

"It's not a good idea to continue like this. The purpose of a business is to make a profit and then contribute to the country and society."

"If this continues, it will do more harm than good to society and the country."

"We should have a big picture view and start from long-term development instead of just focusing on the present."

A middle-aged man among these bosses spoke loudly after drinking a glass of wine.

As soon as he said these words, the dinner table suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at him, wanting to say something but not opening their mouths.

Many people also have a general understanding of the situation of the car company behind this CEO. It is indeed a bit too much, or the profit is too low, which makes this CEO so indignant.

"Mr. Zeng, let's just talk about this in private today."

Someone laughed and said.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zeng said seriously: "I dare to say this anywhere. I guess your car companies are not having a good time. Why don't we all resist this involutionary culture together?"

Everyone was silent again.

resist?

These two words are easy to say, but very difficult to do.

If they dare to resist this internal trend, their own car sales will drop immediately, or even plummet.

Originally, you could make less profit from selling a car, but if you continue to roll it out, you will always make some profit.

but,

If they boycott, it will only benefit those car companies that participate in the price reduction.

Others may seem to be losing money temporarily, but the increased funds are circulating and occupying a larger market.

The less you participate, the worse the outcome will be.

even,

It will be unknown whether its own car company can survive for a long time.

Price reduction is just a superficial phenomenon.

The real core reason is that good money drives out bad money, and the reshuffle in the automotive industry has reached a stage where it is inevitable.

At this time, as long as you have cards in your hand, it is a very happy thing.

Whoever dares not to play the cards in his hand may end up losing everything in his hands.

Everyone was silent. Mr. Zeng looked at the expressions of these CEOs and understood that they all had the same idea. They were all waiting for others to take the first step before they would follow suit.

"Should we talk to Gao Yuan?" someone suggested.

"What do you want to talk to him about?" asked Mr. Zeng.

"Talk to him about lowering the price and see if you can get him to slow down and give us some breathing space," the man replied.

Mr. Zeng shook his head: "Do you think Gao Yuan will listen to us? He is at the peak of his career now and he doesn't care about us at all."

"What should we do then?" someone asked anxiously.

Mr. Zeng hesitated for a moment and said, "We can only save ourselves. We can lower the price, but we must protect our capital. We cannot reduce even the cost of the vehicles."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent. They knew that this was a cruel competition and no one could survive easily.

Soon, the party was over.

In response to Mr. Zeng’s proposal, many people said they would go back and discuss it, but did not give a definite answer.

Inside a suite.

Two middle-aged men were sitting and drinking tea. One of them smiled and asked the other, "Mr. Wang, what do you think of Mr. Zeng's proposal?"

The other middle-aged man smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Why, Mr. Li wants to follow?"

Mr. Wang glanced at the other person and said, "Let me tell you a story."

"In the past, Mr. Zeng's company's cars had to be purchased at a premium. At that time, did he come out and criticize the price increase?"

"Now that his car company's cars are not selling well, he is starting to turn the tables. How can this be possible?"

Mr. Li also started laughing.

Indeed it is.

He was also very aware of Mr. Zeng's predicament.

Ultimately, it is because the car company that Mr. Zeng is in lack of confidence, its own brand does not have strong technology, and the joint venture brands are reluctant to make concessions.

"Okay, let's go back and study how to lower the price!"

"BYD fired the first shot in lowering car prices, and Yuanfang can be said to have dropped a nuclear bomb today."

The two men smiled bitterly, and Mr. Li said goodbye and left.

What happened in the distance today really shocked them.

When BYD lowers its prices, it will not lose money, but the cost of the Yuanxingzhe is nearly 20 yuan, but it is only sold for 9.9 yuan.

Especially when leaving the venue, according to the data we obtained, more than 400,000 people had placed orders.

Such a terrifying order volume makes these bosses envious, but there are also people waiting to see the joke from afar.

If all these people place orders, the loss of Yuanfang will reach more than 40 billion.

If a car company suffers such heavy losses right after launching its first car, it will most likely have a difficult road ahead.

They even want to see Far Traveler become popular and see what Far Traveler has to lose.

However, Gao Yuan was not worried about this.

He already had a plan in mind.

He knows that Yuanxingzhe is just a beginning, a beginning for people to know Yuanfang Automobile. Their goal is not only to sell cars, but also to create a comprehensive automobile ecosystem.

Gaoyuan plans to quickly accumulate users and establish its own brand loyalty through the high sales of Yuanxingzhe, and then continuously enhance the brand value and gradually increase profits through subsequent models.

Moreover, Yuanfang Auto is already developing new energy vehicle technology and will launch more high-tech, cost-effective models in the future, subverting the entire automotive industry.

Gao Yuan is full of confidence in the future of Yuanfang Motors. He believes that as long as Yuanfang Motors sticks to its own path, it will surely become a leader in the automotive industry.

Only a very few people know that Yuanfang has enough funds to continue losing money.

Even without mentioning the 20 yuan compensation for each car given by the system, Yuanfang has enough funds.

Before the shares of the two major battery companies plummeted due to Yuanfang's first release of solid-state batteries, Xiao Xiao had already started operating in the financial market.

With this decrease and increase, Xiao Xiao reaped huge profits in the financial market.

At this point, let alone 40 billion, even if it was 80 billion, Yuanfang could afford the loss.

The next day, Gao Yuan went to the company early in the morning.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Li Bin came to his office.

Gao Yuan saw that Li Bin had a pair of dark circles under his eyes but could not hide the smile on his face, and he knew that Li Bin had not slept all night.

He should be keeping an eye on the sales of Far Traveler at all times.

"Boss Gao, Far Traveler is selling out!"

"So far, the total number of orders from Far Travelers has exceeded one million, and the number of people who have placed deposits has exceeded 25."

Li Bin said excitedly while sitting opposite Gao Yuan.

The sales volume was simply terrifying, and it was the first time he had experienced such a thing.

The sales volume of Yuanxingzhe in half a day caught up with the sales volume of NIO in so many years, although the low price is a very important factor.

but,

He was well aware that most of them still had faith in the technological breakthroughs of Yuanfang Automobile.

Moreover, since the establishment of Yuanfang, all its products have been useful. He himself has used the Hululing sold by Yuanfang Pregnancy Center.

The reputation has been established long ago, which means that the popularity of Traveler is inevitable.

"Don't be happy too early!"

"The current inventory of Far Travelers is only 7, and we can only produce per month."

"Selling cars is a good thing, but there must not be any problems with delivery and after-sales service."

Gao Yuan was very happy to hear the data, but he still reminded Li Bin.

“Didn’t you talk to Tesla and BYD?”

"We shouldn't have any problems with delivery!"

Li Bin said with a slightly uncertain tone.

"They just temporarily freed up some production lines for us, and they didn't produce cars directly."

Gao Yuan reminded.

What he discussed with Tesla and BYD was indeed the production of some components of the Yuanxinger.

In fact, the main production force is still in the distant factory.

In other words, the increase in production is actually very limited, at best it is only from 30,000 vehicles per month to 50,000 vehicles per month.

The current sales data of Far Traveler is only half a day's data.

What about the next month?
As the first batch of 70,000 vehicles are delivered, there will inevitably be countless analysis videos about the Far Traveler on the Internet.

By that time, Gao Yuan believes that Yuanxingzhe will once again usher in a sales boom.

He had a hunch that 500,000 vehicles would only be considered average sales for Far Traveler.

Gao Yuan took a deep breath and said to Li Bin seriously: "We must be well prepared to ensure that delivery and after-sales service can keep up with such a large sales volume."

"In addition, you are ready to take over Tesla's domestic factory."

Li Bin was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed. He looked at Gao Yuan and answered seriously: "I understand. I will arrange it right away."

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Musk was brought to Yuanfang Group by Wang Sichao.

After sitting down in Gao Yuan's office, Musk said directly: "Gao Yuan, you are awesome!"

"I have never admired a person before. You are the first one."

Musk meant what he said.

After returning home last night, he asked his assistant to keep an eye on the sales of Yuanxingzhe, and at the same time asked someone to analyze all the industries in Yuanfang again.

When he got the analysis report this morning, he discovered that all of Gao Yuan’s industries were well planned.

His own industries are all planned for exploring the universe, but Gao Yuan’s industries are planned based on people.

He now dares to say that Gao Yuan is definitely the most popular person among women all over the world.

Therefore,
This established that whenever Yuanfang released a product, there would be people trying it out, and there would be a large group of women helping to promote Yuanfang.

and,

The quality of every product made by Yuanfang is impeccable, this is terrifying.

"Musk, you are too modest. You are the richest man in the world!"

Gao Yuan said with a smile.

Musk smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I don't know how long I can remain the world's richest man. If your company chooses to go public, I don't think you will be the world's richest man tomorrow!"

Gao Yuan smiled and said nothing.

go public?

What an international joke.

He is not short of money now, so why would he go public?

In the past, he had thought about listing the skin care company first and raising some funds in the financial market.

but,

Now he has no interest in taking the company public.

After going public, the company will be subject to stricter supervision. Now he can handle his company's affairs internally.

“Musk, let’s talk about something you’re interested in!”

Gao Yuan didn't want to chat too much with Musk, so he went straight to the point.

"No problem, I've been waiting for you to say this."

Musk had no objection at all. After seeing the success of Far Traveler, he knew very well that Tesla also had to change. If it didn't change, it would die on the road of car manufacturing.

He is well aware that Tesla's stock price will definitely plummet today, and he has already arranged for people to frantically buy up stocks in the financial market.

As long as he can reach a cooperation with Gao Yuan next time, he will make a lot of money again.

"First, I hope that all of Tesla's business in China will be transferred to Yuanfang Auto. In the future, Tesla can choose to rebuild the factory or directly develop the domestic market through imports."

"Second, I hope we can talk about your SpaceX project in detail."

Gao Yuan stated two conditions and then looked at Musk.

Musk pondered for a moment, then looked at Gao Yuan and said, "All of Tesla's business in China can be transferred to Yuanfang Auto for free, and Tesla will only choose trade in the future and will no longer develop the Chinese market."

Musk did not make this decision just now, but made it after he returned yesterday.

Now that China has launched Yuanfang Auto, there is no room for other new energy vehicles to survive.

Rather than being forced away, it is better to give up now and exchange some technology from Gao Yuan.

As for the future.

Only a fool would come to China to develop new energy vehicles.

The overseas market is so big and there is endless money for him to make, so why should he continue to work here?

but,

Musk refused Gao Yuan’s second request.
