Hexagonal God
Chapter 617 Breaking the situation
Qatar Rally, Su Tang crushes the competition to victory!
"One hit and it flew away, the Japanese Toyota brand suffered a major blow!"
"With a range of 1,200 kilometers, electric vehicles are about to lead the global automotive industry!"
Britain should seek cooperation with Su Tang to revive the glory of the British Empire!
Is it really reasonable to impose sanctions on the world's best cars?
"Europe should not follow behind the United States. It is time to turn its attention to the East."
News reports were flooding the major news sections around the world, all reporting on this game.
The Qatar Rally is over, but the discussion is getting more intense.
Through a live broadcast, Su Tang demonstrated to the world the incomparable superiority of Su Tang electric vehicles, and also dealt a heavy blow to those foreigners who are still working hard on the research and development of electric vehicles.
Their research and development is meaningless.
Solid-state batteries cannot be developed within a few years, let alone such an advanced vehicle system.
The intelligence of that system seems like something from a science fiction movie and should not be a product of this era.
Another thing is that it no longer requires fuel. It only takes ten minutes of charging to complete a range of 1,200 kilometers. This is a revolutionary breakthrough.
Even if other countries develop new solid-state batteries, they will not be able to compare with Su Tang's batteries.
The cost of charging for ten minutes is only RMB 30!
Converted into US dollars, it is about five dollars.
The result is that everyone looks at their beloved car and thinks it is garbage.
How to compare?
There's absolutely no way to compare, right?
At the beginning, some people questioned the performance of electric vehicles in cold regions, but one of Su Tang’s commercials was shot directly in Siberia.
Snowy and icy conditions, unmanned driving, one-shot shooting, and five hours of battery life silenced all the skeptical voices.
As a result, people from many parts of the world stood up and asked their governments to cancel the tariffs on SuTang electric vehicles.
Tariffs are a double-edged sword. In order to make money, manufacturers have to raise prices. If people do not buy, the manufacturers will lose money.
However, if the public has a strong desire to buy, the final cost will be borne by the public.
By doing this, the national government is forcibly raising the price of relatively cheap electric vehicles and passing the burden on to the people, who are of course unhappy.
However, many countries do not dare to lift their tariff policies on their own initiative at this moment. After all, they still have to look at the face of the United States.
As a result, large numbers of people began to take to the streets to protest against the government's weak behavior.
Sutang electric vehicles and Sutang drinking water have become necessities for the people, and the state has no right to do this.
Now, what is missing is a country that takes the initiative to stand up and be the first to break the sanctions blockade.
Su Mo gave the participating electric car to Hamad, and did not take his dozens of supercars.
However, with Hamad's help, Su Mo signed construction contracts for five drinking water manufacturers with Iran and other countries.
What's the use of those dozens of supercars? Su Mo doesn't lack them. It's more economical to exchange water for oil.
The Middle Eastern countries do not belong to NATO and have no trade sanctions on Su Tang, so the two sides cooperate very happily.
But what Su Mo was still thinking about was breaking NATO's trade sanctions, and he was looking for his next target.
The attitudes of some governments have softened, and everyone is now in a wait-and-see phase.
Just when Su Mo was still undecided about where to go next, he received a call from a classmate from Tsinghua University.
Sophia from Germany called Su Mo on her own initiative.
"Su Mo, are you still in Qatar?"
“No, I’m in Iran now.”
"Then could you come to Berlin? I have something I want to discuss with you."
"You? Aren't you in school?"
"Because of your situation, I returned home temporarily. Actually, it was mainly because my mother wanted to talk to you."
"Who is your mother?"
"She's our country's chancellor, Angela Merkel."
Su Mo was a little shocked. He didn't expect that Sophia was the daughter of the German Chancellor.
Angela Merkel is a legendary female chancellor of Germany. She won the position of chancellor through the general election in 05, and was successfully re-elected in the general elections in 09 and 13. In 18, she was even elected for the fourth time.
Later, Angela himself stated that he would step down as prime minister in 21 years, otherwise he might be re-elected.
Su Mo still remembers that in the 16th year, Forbes selected the world's 100 most influential women, and Angela Merkel topped the list for six consecutive years.
She even ranked sixth among the world's 50 most influential people.
I have to say that in a world where men are in power, she has done an exceptional job.
Su Mo was silent for a moment: "Did your mother take the initiative to ask to see me?"
"I mentioned it to her when we were on the phone, and she immediately said she wanted to meet you. You know, the automotive industry in Germany is a pillar industry, and it's very important."
"Okay, I'll go there tomorrow."
"Welcome Su Mo, believe me, I will give you a surprise."
After hanging up the phone with Sophia, Su Mo knew that the opportunity had come.
He signed the contract with Iran that day, finalizing the locations of the five manufacturers. He personally flew to each location, inspecting them one by one. He then assigned people to be in charge and worked until the evening. After concluding his trip to Iran and resting for most of the night, Su Mo boarded another flight the next morning, heading for Berlin.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Su Mo's plane landed in Berlin.
At the airport, Su Mo received a very grand welcome.
Germany's legendary Iron Lady, Angela Merkel, personally came to welcome Su Mo.
After all, as the world's richest man, Su Mo is worthy of being personally welcomed by the head of state, especially since the two sides are discussing cooperation this time.
After the meeting, the group quickly arrived at the Reichstag in Berlin with police cars leading the way.
Here, Su Mo enjoyed high-level treatment and met many political leaders of the country.
Almost the entire day was spent in negotiations.
Angela Merkel's attitude is very clear. She hopes that Sutang Electric Vehicle can cooperate with the German automobile industry and introduce technology.
For this, the German government is willing to pay a large sum of money to Su Mo.
As soon as Angela opened her mouth, she directly asked for 100 billion euros.
I have to say, this price is very sincere.
After all, on the current Forbes list, except for Su Mo, the net worth of others has not reached this level.
But Su Mo refused without hesitation. He could accept other forms of cooperation, but technology could never be transferred. That was the foundation of Su Tang electric vehicles.
In fact, in the long run, if SuTang electric vehicles continue to develop, it is very likely to destroy the global automobile industry.
But that is not something that can be done in a short period of time. You know, there are many people in this world who have strong nationalistic sentiments.
They would rather spend money in vain to support domestic products so that national enterprises will not collapse.
So this process may take ten, twenty, or even thirty years.
Su Mo didn't want to wait that long. The automotive industry was just one part of his overall plan. He had more important things to do, so he could accept some cooperation.
Finally, after a day-long negotiation between the two sides, an agreement was reached.
Sutang Electric Vehicle Company will cooperate with three German automobile companies.
The three companies are Volkswagen Group, whose main automobile brands include Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, Bentley, Bugatti, etc.
BMW Group, whose main automobile brands include BMW, Mini, Rolls-Royce, etc.
Daimler Group, whose main automobile brands include Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, etc.
SuTang Electric Vehicle will set up a production line in Germany, mainly supplying batteries, in-vehicle intelligent systems, etc. to these car brands.
In return, Sutang Electric Vehicle Group acquired 30% of the shares of each of the three group companies and became the group's largest shareholder.
Don’t think about how much these three companies are worth. In fact, the combined market value of these three companies is less than 200 billion US dollars.
Su Mo each holds 30%, which sounds like a lot, but in fact it only adds up to about billion US dollars.
Of course, 60 billion US dollars is definitely not a small amount. It is 400 billion RMB when converted into RMB.
But it is really not much for Su Mo now. Since the end of the Qatar Rally, the stock price of Su Tang Electric Vehicle has started to rise sharply.
The stock price hit the daily limit within two hours of opening, and his assets increased by tens of billions invisibly.
The stock prices of other stocks also officially stopped falling and began to recover. Su Mo now made hundreds of thousands of dollars a second and really had no time to play football. No, he really didn't care about money.
What he cares about is the situation of this sanctions.
Germany also officially canceled its tariff policy on Su Tang Group, and even lowered the tariff by 10%.
In fact, among the countries that Su Mo originally wanted to choose, Germany had a place, because the people of this country are relatively independent and do not want to be a vassal of the United States.
Just with Sophia's help, everything came together smoothly.
The contract was signed that day, and Angela also held a grand welcome banquet for Su Mo.
At the banquet, Su Mo not only met Sophia who came along, but also met two other people.
One of them is the world-famous old lady, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
Su Mo didn't expect that this old lady was actually Angela's friend and attended the banquet.
The other person is Mette Frederiksen, the chairman of the Social Democratic Party from Denmark.
This is also a woman, and Su Mo also has an impression of her, because in 19 years, she will become the Prime Minister of Denmark.
The reason why Su Mo remembered her was that in 25, the President of the United States, Old Tang, proposed a shocking plan to buy Greenland!
Greenland was originally a colony of Denmark, but facing the powerful United States, Denmark had no ability to fight back and could only swallow the bitter fruit helplessly.
The woman also gave a speech at the time, but she didn't use any strong words, meaning she didn't dare to speak loudly.
But no matter what, he is the prime minister and has great power.
Su Mo didn't expect to meet these powerful women at this banquet.
Seeing Sophia winking at him continuously, Su Mo knew that this was the surprise she had given him.
Su Mo couldn't help but laugh. This was really a surprise.
Needless to say, as the closest ally of the United States, if the Queen also lifts sanctions, the impact on other countries will be huge.
As for Denmark, although it looks insignificant, Su Mo has an extra layer of thoughts about it.
Greenland, a piece of land of more than two million square kilometers!
If Old Tang can do it, why can't I? (End of this chapter)
