Chapter 1708 (1/2)

For Li Mu, if he wants to be an auto industry, he can never be just a Tesla.

Even if new energy vehicles are the general trend, there is still a long way to go before it can be spread all over the world.

Even in China, if the proportion of new energy vehicles to fuel vehicles is to be 5-5, it is estimated that it will be after 2020, or even after 2030.

Before that, most of the auto market will still be dominated by traditional fuel vehicles.

Moreover, Li Mu's favorite thing is the deep integration of resources. This integration is not to integrate Jaguar, Land Rover or Volvo into Tesla and become a better Tesla, but to integrate Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo and Tesla into a better Tesla, a better Jaguar, a better Land Rover and a better Volvo.

Take out Tesla's advantages in electric drive, Jaguar's advantages in luxury cars and sports cars. Of course, take out Volvo's advantages in household passenger cars and safe driving before they have declined too seriously. Then take out Land Rover's ability in four-wheel drive and all terrain adaptation.

Although Volvo's product line is very complete, it has always been relatively small, and it is impossible to sell Toyota by itself. However, if Volvo matches Tesla and takes the hybrid route, it may be able to overtake in the aspect of hybrid, directly catching up with Toyota, which has the strongest hybrid at this stage.

Although the sales volume of hybrid cars and new energy vehicles is not large in the early stage, they still have a strong influence on the social elite. In the United States, an elite gathering place like Silicon Valley prevails a special sense of moral superiority.

For example, those Internet company tycoons, with hundreds of millions of dollars in wealth and tens of millions of dollars in luxury houses, have to drive a Toyota Prius with tens of thousands of dollars. Why? It's because they need this sense of moral superiority.

When they drive a Prius of tens of thousands of dollars, they have a strong sense of ”I'm protecting the earth” superiority, and then they can stand at a high place, with a critical view, to see the ordinary people who drive ordinary fuel vehicles, or even large displacement fuel vehicles.

So the Toyota Prius will be popular among the elite in North America. The CEO, executive, University professor and fund founder of the company almost have a Prius.

In the future, pure electric Tesla and hybrid Volvo may become the new favorite of these elites.

Then, Li Mu asked Davidson, ”I'd like to ask you for help. Can you make an appointment for me to talk with Ford executives? I'm interested in Volvo and Jaguar Land Rover in their hands. If they are interested in taking action, I can consider taking it down.”

Li Mu said, ”by the way, if you have other automobile resources, please introduce them to me.”

Davidson asked in surprise, ”do you want to buy Volvo, Jaguar and Land Rover?”

Li Mu said, ”if the price is right, you can buy them all.”

”But these three brands are losing money now, and the loss is quite serious. With all due respect, you don't have relevant experience in the field of automobiles, and without a professional team to help you solve the global suppliers and sales network, it's impossible to make profits in the short term, and it's likely to be a huge loss in the end,” Davidson said

Li Mu said with a smile, ”it doesn't matter. In a period of time, we will start IPO related work. Once the IPO goes smoothly, we will raise tens of billions of dollars at least, and take out one tenth of it at will, which is enough to take down these brands. As for the loss, it doesn't matter. It's just for fun.”

Say, Li Mu says again: ”perhaps next year I will get a rally Team, another two years will get an F1 team.”

Chen Ze dreams of getting a team, but he can't hope to get F1. Now he is getting a group of carding drivers to train in Shunyi racetrack every day. In his plan, it's his biggest dream to get a formula three team in the future.

As for the cultivation of a real F1 driver for China, it's something Chen Ze can't dream of. Formula One drivers are extremely demanding. Most of them have been systematically trained since childhood. They have been burning money since they got into the kart at the age of five or six. They have to burn money all the way to the age of 20, not only have enough money to burn, but also have enough Talent, or you won't make it.

It is more difficult to train F1 drivers than to train a first-line player to some extent. At least football is not a money burning sport. If talent is enough, a football is enough.

There are so many young people playing in the streets in Brazil, many of them have finally become the first-line players or even the world's top players, but they haven't heard of anyone who can pedal the first three rounds in the slums and turn himself into an F1 racer.

Therefore, Li Mu's idea is different from Chen Ze's.

Chen Ze wants to cultivate a Chinese F1 driver, and Li Mu wants to build a Chinese F1 team.

For example, this year I bought Volvo, Jaguar and Land Rover, and then I went to China to build a new brand. The new brand is very simple. It's OK to integrate the technology of these three brands directly. If the domestic team integration is not good, it doesn't matter. I'll spend a lot of money to dig the top team, German, Japanese or Swedish, Italian, isn't it money? There is money in Muye technology.When a new brand is established, it will directly throw money into the team, whether it's a rally, a British Touring Car race or an equation, as long as it can be done by throwing money, it will all be done by throwing money.
