Chapter 1723 (2/2)
Chen Ze is more puzzled: ”lithium battery?”
”Yes.” Li Mu said: ”with lithium battery as the power, not only the power is strong, but also the acceleration is fast. In the future, the 100km acceleration of mass production high-speed cars should be within 4 seconds.”
Hearing this, Chen Ze couldn't help but ask, ”how far can such a car run with full power?”
Li Mu said, ”four hundred kilometers or so, driving normally.”
”Is there such a force?” Chen Ze was even more surprised.
Li Mu said with a smile, ”it won't be long before you know.”
With that, he turned his head and asked Elon Musk, ”what's the date with Ford?”
”Three thirty in the afternoon.” Elon Musk said, ”let's go to the hotel for dinner, introduce my team members to you by the way, and then have a meeting in your Presidential Suite meeting room to communicate the situation.”
Li Mu said, thinking of the constant urination of the American business department, and couldn't help but ask, ”if I have settled the details of the cooperation with Ford, will the American business department come out and block?”
American business departments often have some coquettish operations, such as breaking up a large enterprise into several, which is called anti-monopoly. They also often interfere in the acquisition and acquisition between enterprises, either they are not allowed to sell, or they are not allowed to buy, which is worse.
Elon Musk seriously said: ”the project we are talking about should not be interfered by the U.S. business sector. They basically have no restrictions on the civil automobile industry.”
Li Mu nodded and said, ”I will go to New York in a few days. On the day of Google's listing, I will attend their bell ringing activity. This time, I need to settle the matter with Ford as soon as possible.”
”Good!”
Chen Ze was a little puzzled and asked Li Mu, ”you just said to musk, you want to talk about cooperation with Ford?”
”Yes.” ”Dearborn is the base of Ford, their head office is here, and there are several of Ford's own production lines,” said Li
”Ford's classic F150 should be made in Detroit,” Chen said pleasantly
In Li Mu's mind, the huge pickup truck came into China through parallel import several years later. However, there was no pickup culture in China. When it went, it was directly classified into the sequence of trucks, with words sprayed on the door and reflective strips pasted on the back of the car, and many cities did not allow the pickup truck to enter the urban area, so there was no fire.
For Li Mu, he doesn't like the huge pickup truck very much. He always thinks it's too big, and it's also too wasteful. The city starts with more than 200 kilometers of oil, which is really not suitable for domestic urban residents.
Chen Ze said: ”I got a F150 in the last two years, and drove to Sichuan Tibet. The car was awesome and sold well in the US.”
Li Mu said with a smile, ”let's just take it to the domestic market.”
Chen Ze waved: ”the car is a good car, but when we get to China, we will not accept it.”
Li Mu asked him, ”what do you think is more suitable if we want to get something out of Ford's hands?”
Chen Ze thought about it and said seriously, ”Land Rover! The classic off-road vehicle just entered the Chinese market last year, but it has not developed very much. However, the car is really OK. It's like playing in the old hand valley. Although it's not as leather as Toyota's land cruiser, the British design is still more luxurious, much higher than the land cruiser. ”
Li Muruo nodded thoughtfully and said: ”what you said is also reasonable. Let's talk about Land Rover cooperation with Ford.”
Chen Ze subconsciously said: ”they seem to be doing the Chinese market by themselves now. If we can get a regional agent, some of them still do it.”
Li Mu nodded a little, not denying.
Although he didn't say anything, Li Mu couldn't help but despise Chen Ze.
Get an agent? That's what you're doing, Chen Ze? Can't we just buy Land Rover back?
Besides, we need to buy not only Land Rover, but also Jaguar and Volvo.
After two or three years of striving, we will make the range rover and the defender domestic.
Out of the airport, everyone took the business car arranged by Elon Musk and went straight to a star hotel in Dearborn.
Dearborn is almost Ford's own small city, where Ford's logo and advertisements can be seen everywhere.
When we arrived at the hotel, Li Mu met with Elon Musk's team. Everyone sat down at the broad long table in the banquet hall. Elon Musk said to Li Mu, ”President Li, I'd like to introduce you to the members of our acquisition team.”Chen Ze asked in surprise: ”acquisition? What to buy? ”
Elon Musk smiled and asked, ”don't Mr. Chen know?”
Chen Ze shook his head in a dazed face.
Elon Musk looked at Li Mu, smiled and nodded to Chen Ze. ”We are negotiating with Ford to wholly acquire Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo from them.”
Chen Ze's whole life is like being struck by lightning. It's a long time before he returns to his mind and mumbles, ”what international joke are you kidding...”
