Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 384 A fatal blow

For now, the gas station industry is still profitable.

Therefore, Wujiang Group’s plan to spend huge sums of money to acquire gas stations on a large scale will not lose money.

At this time in the previous life, the number of domestic gas stations was only increasing.

……

……

Zhao Ye's plan to "draw money from under the cauldron" was quickly implemented.

Since January 2009, gas stations of all sizes on the market have been acquired one after another.

"Old Zheng, has Wujiang Group sent someone to contact you?"

Zheng Yu received a call from Wu Jun, a friend who was traveling with him.

Both of them are owners of a gas station chain, with no less than ten gas stations under their names.

"Not yet, but I have heard that many gas stations have been sold to Wujiang Group!" Zheng Yu shook his head and said.

"I've also heard that Wujiang Group is going to completely monopolize and even subvert the entire gas station industry!" Wu Jun paused and said, "It is said that Wujiang Group plans to buy the gas station and turn it into a charging station! In this way, people will have to buy new energy electric vehicles in the future, because there is no place to refuel traditional fuel vehicles!"

Hearing this, Zheng Yu couldn't help but nodded, feeling shocked inside.

"Such a big deal, in today's world, only Wujiang Group can accomplish it!" Zheng Yu smacked his lips, and then sighed, "It seems that new energy electric vehicles are the general trend, and gas stations will soon withdraw from the market!"

Wu Jun heard this and nodded in agreement: "Well, I think so too! If Wujiang Group does this, everyone will only dare to buy new energy electric vehicles in the future. Moreover, the value retention rate of traditional fuel vehicles will also drop crazily, and it is even possible It collapsed into a complete mess!!!”

When many people buy a car, they attach great importance to the car's value retention rate. In this case, if the new car is driven for two years and then sold, the loss will not be too great.

But now that Wujiang Group is doing this, how can fuel vehicles maintain their value? Just imagine, in a few years, all gas stations will disappear, and fuel vehicles will become just a decoration. It would be strange if the value retention rate does not plummet!

Zheng Yu and Wu Jun chatted for a long time. They are still undecided whether to sell the gas station to Wujiang Group or continue to operate it themselves...

Not long after.

People from the Wujiang Group also contacted them.

"Mr. Zheng, new energy electric vehicles are sweeping the country. Either we change the gas station into a charging station, or we sell the gas station as soon as possible and still sell it at a high price. Otherwise, we will definitely lose money in the future!" The person who went to buy it He persuaded them with a sincere face.

As the saying goes, "Listen to others and eat enough"!

It is an indisputable fact that traditional fuel vehicles are facing a serious situation in China.

Anyone who has a brief understanding of national policies should know that new energy electric vehicles will inevitably replace traditional fuel vehicles.

Although you can still make money by opening a gas station now, the future is hard to say.

"If you are willing to change the gas station into a charging station now, then our company can support you and provide you with some subsidies!"

Since the number of new energy electric vehicles is still relatively small, it is naturally not very profitable to open charging stations now, so some subsidies must be given to them appropriately and more profits should be given to the other party.

"If you don't want to, then you won't have such good conditions in the future, and you won't even be able to get entry tickets to enter the charging station market!"

Sweet dates plus a big stick, giving both grace and power.

It depends on how the other party chooses.

……

……

There is a saying that "money can make the world go round"!

More and more gas stations are being acquired by Wujiang Group.

For a time, the automobile market was in turmoil!

Not long after, rumors spread like wildfire that Wujiang Group was going to convert its gas station into a charging station, causing uproar in the city!

Many people who plan to buy a car will now face a very serious problem. If they buy a fuel car now, they will have no place to refuel in the future...

Since the "grapevine" spread, fuel vehicles have been seriously unsalable.

However, new energy electric vehicles are selling like crazy.

In February 2009, sales of new energy electric vehicles increased 2 times compared with the previous month, a shocking increase. Prices of various domestic fuel vehicles have plummeted. Even so, it is of no help to the increase in sales.

On the Internet, news comes out every day that Wujiang Group has acquired several more gas stations.

This news is like a reminder, ringing the death bell of fuel vehicles!

Because domestic car brands have obtained the new energy electric vehicle technology authorization from Tiangong Technology Company, they can easily transform and develop new energy electric vehicles, but foreign car companies are not so lucky. Tiangong Technology has not authorized their technology, which has caused them to lose the right to compete in the new energy electric vehicle track!

In the past, foreign companies imposed a technological blockade on China, and now they have experienced the same thing.

Moreover, Tiangong Technology is not afraid of them catching up at all.

Tiangong Technology Company has been involved in the field of new energy electric vehicles for so many years that it has achieved little results.

It is simply a fantasy for Western car companies to catch up in a short period of time.

Furthermore, it is quite difficult for them to give up their technical advantages in the field of traditional fuel vehicles. If they change to a new track, they will become younger brothers. How can they be willing to do so~

Moreover, compared to China, Western countries are not so short of petrochemical energy. After all, Western countries wear a pair of pants most of the time and work together, and their channels for obtaining petroleum energy are not blocked.

In addition, the power development in Western countries is obviously not as developed as China.

China has a large number of hydropower stations, wind power stations, thermal power stations, photovoltaic power stations, nuclear power stations, etc... This makes China's electricity prices very cheap.

Overall, electricity prices in European countries are generally 3-6 times higher than in China, and the lowest price is about twice as high as in China.

Electricity price factors still have a great impact on the development of new energy electric vehicles.

This means that European car companies will not be as enthusiastic about transformation as Chinese car companies.

……

"It can't be changed! If the gas station is changed into a charging station, where will we go to refuel?!"

On the Internet, more and more car owners are leaving messages online, opposing the conversion of gas stations into charging stations. Due to the large number of people, it quickly became a trending topic on Weibo, sparking public discussion!

At this time, major foreign car companies are fanning the flames and adding fuel to the flames, making the opposition to converting gas stations into charging stations increasingly louder.

Due to the overwhelming public opinion, Wujiang Group immediately provided an explanation on its official Weibo.

"In response to online reports that Wujiang Group plans to convert gas stations into charging stations, our company has the following explanations!"

"First, we do have this plan. As we all know, my country is the world's largest crude oil importer. According to data from the General Administration of Customs, my country imported a total of 2008 million tons of crude oil in 50828, spending a total of 24350 billion yuan! Every year in our country It costs so much money to import crude oil, wouldn’t it be nice if we could replace imported crude oil energy with electricity?”

"Second, in order to ensure energy security, we must also implement the plan to convert gas stations into charging stations. In peacetime, our country may be able to purchase crude oil from abroad. But in the event of a war and crude oil import channels are blocked, we will What should we do? Will the entire country’s transportation system face paralysis?”

"Third, although it is imperative to convert gas stations into charging stations, we will do so step by step. We will decide on the specific arrangements based on market conditions."

"Finally, I call on everyone to support new energy electric vehicles and domestic car brands to jointly promote the development of China's new energy revolution and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!!!"

After Wujiang Group published the article, it immediately aroused heated discussion among the people.

Patriotism is something everyone has.

Everyone expressed support and understanding for Wujiang Group’s actions!

"After reading Wujiang Group's post, I feel a little ashamed of myself. I used to criticize Wujiang Group without thinking, but now I understand Wujiang Group's good intentions! Mad, my little broken BMW will no longer be driven. Let's go now. Buy a new energy electric vehicle from Tiangong Technology Company and contribute to the country’s new energy revolution!”

"Without a country, how can there be a home? I personally support Wujiang Group's actions, although my current car also has gas..."

"Damn it, I didn't know it until I saw it. I'm shocked to see that our country imports so much crude oil every year! If we use this money to develop other areas, wouldn't we be able to fly?!"

"You have to be self-reliant, and it's very uncomfortable to be stuck. If you want to buy a car in the future, it is better to buy a new energy electric vehicle. Moreover, the construction of charging infrastructure in our country is developing rapidly. You don't have to worry about not having a charging place in the future..."

"..."

Foreign automobile companies never expected that after Wujiang Group issued the document, the wave of opposition to converting gas stations into charging stations immediately died down. Immediately, more and more Chinese consumers are more inclined to new energy electric vehicles when buying cars!

In China, fuel vehicles have shown a declining trend.

The whole people are beginning to embrace new energy electric vehicles and are proud to drive new energy electric vehicles.

It is no exaggeration to say that foreign car companies are already in danger!

This situation never happened in Zhao Ye's previous life, even in 2024.

Of course, the achievements of China's new energy vehicles in this generation were entirely made possible by Wujiang Group's money.

Who dared to invest heavily in new energy electric vehicles before 2000?

Who dares to invest huge sums of money in the construction of charging infrastructure?

Finally, he came up with a trick to drain the firepower and buy gas stations on a large scale!

How can traditional fuel vehicles cope with this?
