Chapter 325 Isn't one S7 enough?
"Yes. There is an official report from the National Motor Vehicle Quality Monitoring and Inspection Center, which can be provided to Toyota."
Wang Jianguo gave a businesslike reply and continued his introduction.
The procedures must be completed!
Yamada Takeshi took the report from his secretary, but Wang Jianguo's secretary said to him, "A national report is an official document."
We also have over 30 car owners, which proves the advanced nature of our technology.
Yamada Takeshi still refused to believe it when he looked at the report.
After all, this news is a huge blow to the world's number one's performance!
The report clearly states that the sales volume of Transsion S7 has exceeded 50 units, and 39 units have been delivered so far.
His 30 yuan is quite a lot!
Photovoltaic conversion efficiency is also being further improved, currently reaching 32%. Depending on the level of technology integration, 5 square meters can be crammed into the roof of a vehicle, generating 6.4 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day.
The world's number one integrated system for electric drive, battery, and motor systems!
Yamada Takeshi finally put the report down after some hesitation. There was nothing to question about Transsion's technology, given the positive word-of-mouth from users.
But as a proud Japanese, he couldn't possibly collaborate deeply with a Chinese automaker to use their technology to create a purebred Toyota; that would mean losing its soul.
Moreover, new energy is destined to be a clownish act for China. After all, from 2008 to 2013, five years have passed, and apart from Transsion Motors, all the other companies have failed. There have even been many companies that have committed fraud in obtaining subsidies.
I believe that after witnessing the failure of new energy, the Chinese leadership will change its mind, and the new energy policy will soon be declared a failure...
After thinking for a while, he said, "Mr. Wang, Toyota's new energy strategy is multi-source. Electric, hybrid, hydrogen fuel cell, and gasoline, each has its own suitable application scenarios."
Toyota does not believe that electric vehicles are the only way forward.
Moreover, Toyota's supply chain system is very rigorous.
We are responsible to all our customers, and a new supplier must undergo at least three years of certification.
Currently, neon light suppliers are our preferred choice.
The translator translated the passage, and Wang Jianguo heard it very clearly.
Three-year certification, priority given to Japanese companies – this is a polite way of saying no.
Wang Jianguo smiled.
"Mr. Yamada is right."
However, Secretary Li said that the technology used in the transmission is open, and if you are interested, you can visit our factory and see the production line.
Yamada Takeshi had originally intended to get up and leave, but now he hesitated.
The other party brought up Secretary Li, so we can't refuse that request. It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.
The Yangcheng factory is located in Yangcheng Development Zone, not far from Yangcheng Toyota.
When Yamada Takeshi arrived, he quickly glanced at each production line, spending less than two minutes on each one, and asked very perfunctory questions.
What is the production capacity of this line?
What's the yield rate?
They asked the question and left without waiting for an answer.
Upon arriving at the high-density battery production line, he lingered there for a while, watching the automated equipment operate with a more serious expression in his eyes…
If a company wants to launch new energy vehicles in China, it must solve the problem of high-density batteries; otherwise, the energy market will be monopolized by China!
After the tour, we returned to the conference room.
Wang Jianguo symbolically presented a prepared cooperation plan, which was 2.5 times more expensive than the original price.
After all, Secretary Li had spoken up, and Yangcheng Toyota is a joint venture car company in China, so they couldn't be too blatant in their exploitation.
Since they are unwilling, then everything should be done officially, even if it costs a little more.
Looking at the battery pack proposal in front of him, Yamada Takeshi instantly wanted to yell and curse.
After all, a 40 kWh battery pack costs Transsion 40 yuan.
The current industry average price is 3200~4000 yuan/kWh.
Even if we take the middle value of 3600 yuan/kWh, it's only 14.4 yuan. Moreover, they are joint venture car companies. Shouldn't Transsion be proud to join their supply chain?
What is the purpose of this price list?
Yamada Takeshi's lips twitched slightly as he closed the report, his heart filled with boundless rage.
"Mr. Wang, Toyota currently has no plans to add any new battery suppliers."
I will contact you if needed. If there is a real collaboration, I don't want to continue with this price.
This is a refusal.
Wang Jianguo had anticipated this outcome. From the moment Yamada Takeshi entered the room, he knew that the meeting was destined to be fruitless.
What future can a guy who can't even see the lifeline that Secretary Li is offering have?
Moreover, he was late for meetings and seemed distracted when visiting the production line; he was definitely not there to discuss cooperation, but rather to complete a task.
Secretary Li gave the order, so Toyota had no choice but to come, but they didn't take the message seriously at all.
However, Transsion didn't take them seriously. After all, the world's most advanced battery technology was in China's hands, and the new energy policy would not stagnate but would only become stronger.
"It's alright. Our doors are always open."
Wang Jianguo stood up, extended his hand, and said a few polite words with a smile.
Yamada Takeshi asked again, this time even more perfunctorily.
Because deep down he felt that Chuanyin really wanted to cooperate with them, but also wanted to exploit them... Heh, the initiative was in his hands. Let's talk about cooperation when they've thought things through!
As they walked out of the Transsion factory, the secretary whispered, "President, Transsion's high-density batteries are indeed quite good."
Should we have the technical department follow up on this?
Takeshi Yamada once again evaded the question: "The high-density battery route is not the only one. Transsion was lucky to get ahead, but we still have many opportunities."
Moreover, we might as well develop the product ourselves instead of relying on that price list.
Meanwhile, Wang Jianguo also made a phone call to Shen Fei.
"Mr. Shen, there's no chance with Toyota."
They look down on us; they're just going through the motions.
Shen Fei showed no anger on his face; instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He wasn't criticizing Wang Jianguo's work ability, but rather he was reminded of the classic 11-0 score in his previous life. No wonder it's Yangcheng Auto!
Could it be that he replaced that guy Yu Dazui? I really don't know if the theory of the soul will still happen.
"As expected. It's okay if the deal doesn't go through, we don't have to worry about selling our batteries."
However, please send me a summary of today's meeting; it will be useful later.
Wang Jianguo's lips also curled up slightly. The boss emphasized this record, and now someone was going to be in trouble!
And it's really bad luck!
…………
After hanging up the phone, Shen Fei also wondered if his plans were too slow.
Is one S7 not enough?
After all, he knew that Yamada Takeshi looked down on Transsion, and he wasn't the only one; the entire traditional automotive industry looked down on Transsion.
But after all this time, they should understand by now, right? The technology that Chuanyin holds is something they've always dreamed of.
