The black technology empire started with a debt of one billion

Chapter 478 493: Lobbying Congress Rejected
At this time, there are still 10 minutes before the stock market opens.

A small press conference was held at Lithia's headquarters in Medford, Oregon, and major European newspapers received invitations from Lithia's company.

In fact, reporters were not willing to attend Lithia's press conference so early, but Lithia gave too many red envelopes. Everyone who attended the press conference could receive 1000 US dollars.

You should know that this amount of money is equivalent to one week's salary for them.

When reporters entered the venue, they saw four cars on the stage. All four cars were covered with red cloth.

"It seems that it is true that Lithia is the agent of Deep Blue Auto, but I don't know how much Deep Blue Auto sells for."

"I think it has to be sold for at least 7 US dollars. If shipping and tariffs are included, the cost is at least 6 US dollars. It is normal to sell for 7 US dollars."

"I suspect Lithia will sell for at least [-] to [-] U.S. dollars after becoming an agent."

“Is it still cost-effective if it’s so expensive?”

"Do you think Deep Blue Car needs to be cost-effective? Even if Lithia is sold at this price, Deep Blue Car is more cost-effective than Model S."

"The safety of Deep Blue is at least 2-3 times that of Model S, not to mention the powerful endurance of Deep Blue. In addition, the system of Deep Blue is better than Tesla. Even if it sells for [-] to [-] yuan, many people still buy it."

Brian DeBoer straightened his clothes and took to the stage.

"Thank you so much for coming to Lithia's press conference so early. I believe you all have some speculations about today's press conference, but I haven't confirmed whether it is true or not. I am here to tell you that it is true.

Lithia has acquired the European agency rights for Deep Blue Motors.

In the future, Lithia will serve as the sole agent of Deep Blue Automobile in Europe and sell Deep Blue Automobile throughout Europe. ” Brian DeBoer smiled.

After Brian DeBoer finished speaking, the staff pulled off the red cloth covering the car.

"Deep Blue Cars will be sold throughout Europe simultaneously on August 8st, and Lithia cars will be available for pre-sale online. You can go to Lithia's official website to order.

The retail price of Deep Blue Car in Europe is US$9. ” Brian DeBoer continued.

The reporters present were completely shocked when they heard the price. It only costs US$4.4 in China, but it costs double that when imported to the United States. You Lithia are taking us for granted.

"It actually costs 10 US dollars. This price is too expensive."

"I don't know if Lithia set this price or if it was the price set by Deep Blue Auto. To be honest, I can't accept this price."

“I originally thought it would be worth [-] to [-] dollars, but I didn’t expect it to be sold for [-] US dollars.”

"Sure enough, Deep Blue Technology's products are not affordable for us civilians."

"Your monthly salary is more than 1 U.S. dollars, so you can still afford it in one installment."

“You may think this price is a bit expensive, but in my opinion, this price is not expensive at all. First of all, Deep Blue Car has G-class safety performance, and secondly, Deep Blue Car is made with the most advanced technology at present.

We can compare the products of our friends. After comparison, everyone will know how cheap they are. "After Brian DeBoer finished speaking, a projection appeared on the curtain behind him.

Tesla Model S - $71200 (top model $106200).

电池容量75-90kWh，续航里程249-270英里(约400-434公里)，89-101MPGe，电动机输出功率284-568kW。

Tesla Model X – $81200.

电池容量75-90kWh，237-257英里(约381-414公里)，89-92MPGe，电动机输出功率568kW(P90D)
Tesla's car battery capacity is 75-90kWh.

Tesla's top model can only travel up to 434 kilometers, but the price of the top model is 106200. The battery capacity and mileage alone are worth it.

Next, let’s talk about Deep Blue Car’s motor and Tesla’s motor. The output power of both motors is 560KW, but the acceleration and speed of [-] kilometers per hour are beaten by Deep Blue Car. Deep Blue Car’s motor technically beats Tesla in a flash.

The batteries used by Deep Blue Cars have a longer lifespan and are safer than Tesla’s ternary lithium batteries.

Not to mention the safety of Deep Blue cars, which will definitely beat Tesla in this regard.

Then we went to Deep Blue Auto's system. Needless to say, the system defeated Tesla in an instant.

PPT compared all parameters between Deep Blue Car and Tesla. It can be said that Tesla was completely crushed by Deep Blue Car.

“However, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is the supply cycle of Deep Blue cars. Tesla’s supply cycle is very long and it takes a long time to deliver, but the delivery cycle of Deep Blue cars is very short.

Deep Blue Auto will supply [-] cars to Europe every day, which means that the waiting period for users will not exceed one month at most, and everyone can receive the car within one month.

In order to provide everyone with a better driving experience, Lithia will deploy super charging piles in Europe in the future.

"Brian DeBoer said a lot.

After hearing Brian DeBoer's explanation, reporters found that selling a dark blue car for 10 was not unacceptable.

Nine o'clock sharp.

The U.S. stock market has officially entered call auction mode. Lithia's press conference has not yet ended, but the press conference information has been released.

Lithia's stock price jumped 28% during the call auction.

Deep Blue Auto provides Lithia with 1.4 electric vehicles every day and 5 vehicles per week, which means it can provide [-] vehicles per month.

按照9万9999元美刀来计算的话，按照每辆汽车4万美刀利润来计算，5万辆深蓝汽车利润就是20亿美刀，一年下来Lithia的利润可以达到240亿美刀。

Even after deducting the 30% of profits paid by Deep Blue to Deep Blue Technology, Lithia still has $168 billion in one year.

After deducting expenses, Lithia's annual net profit is at least US$100 billion.

There are few companies in the United States that can achieve annual profits of US$100 billion.

Tesla's situation is completely opposite to Lithia's.

Tesla's closing price yesterday was $193.32, and the call auction fell directly to $112, with the stock price falling by a full 42%.

Netizens are also discussing this matter.

"Tesla has jumped in half. This decline is somewhat unreasonable."

"I don't think there's anything unreasonable. Do you know the Tesla delivery cycle? Tesla's delivery cycle is 16-20 weeks, which means that after the user pays, they still have to wait 4-5 months. To get it, you only need to wait a month for the Deep Blue car at the same price, and the performance of the Deep Blue car is better than Tesla's.

If you were asked to choose, would you still choose Tesla's electric car? "

"Indeed, Tesla's delivery cycle is too long. I would rather buy a dark blue car at the same price."

"Tesla's electric cars are bound to become slow-selling. It would be strange if Tesla's cars don't fall if they don't buy them. Who will buy Tesla at that time."

"The only thing to blame is that Deep Blue Cars is too good. If Deep Blue Cars can open a factory in the United States, the price of Deep Blue Cars will definitely come down. I believe there will be no problem in selling it to [-] to [-] yuan."

"Deep Blue Cars will not come to the United States to open a factory, so you should stop thinking about it."

"No more talking, I'm going to short the stock first. I think Tesla can still fall."

Office of the President of Tesla Headquarters.

After receiving the information about Lithia's press conference, Max immediately called the head of the think tank to the office for a meeting.

At this time, Max's face was very ugly. Not to mention Tesla's stock price plummeting, Lithia's agency for Deep Blue Motors had already dealt a heavy blow to them.

At this time, the American Internet and major media have been overwhelmingly talking about black Tesla.

"Boss, judging from the current situation, I suggest canceling the afternoon press conference. It is unwise to release Model 3 at this time." Sac Diomande advised.

It makes no sense for Tesla to release Model 3 at this time. Both Model S and Model X were defeated by Deep Blue Motors, not to mention that low-end models like Model 3 are no match.

Although the Model 3 is priced at only US$3.5, the battery life of the US$3.5 Model 3 is very long. It can only last 354 kilometers when fully charged, which is only half of the Deep Blue car.

What's more, they have no way to deliver to customers this year. According to the plan, delivery will have to wait until July next year at the earliest. Even though the cheapest Model 7 only costs 3 US dollars, its performance cannot be compared with Deep Blue Car.

If not many people place orders for the Model 3 at the press conference, Tesla's stock price will definitely plummet as a result.

"If we cancel the afternoon press conference, Tesla's image will also fall to the bottom." Max said very depressedly.

If Tesla cannot hold a press conference on time this afternoon, it means that Tesla is afraid of the dark blue car. Max feels that the press conference must go on as usual.

After all, what is the price difference between Model 3 and Deep Blue Cars? Considering the price difference of 6.5 between the two, there are still consumers willing to buy Model 3.

However, the think tank believes that consumers may not necessarily buy Model 3 after comparison.

Model 3 has no advantages over traditional fuel vehicles.

Users who are willing to take the plunge and buy electric cars are people with a little money at home. These people don't care about the battery life of Model 3 at all. They just want to experience the latest trendy technology.

“The think tank’s suggestion is to update Tesla products before releasing them, but ultimately it’s up to you, the boss, to make the decision,” said Sac Diomande.

Zach Diomande feels that he does not recommend Tesla to release Model 3 until graphene batteries are obtained.

The core problem is that the lifespan of Tesla's ternary lithium battery is only half that of graphene batteries.

Europeans do not buy cars and replace them as often as Chinese people do. Europeans do not replace their cars easily, otherwise they will not drive a car until it is scrapped. This also causes Europeans to choose to buy a car when buying a car. Some more durable cars.

Tesla is not as good as Deep Blue Car in terms of range and body safety.

Zac Diorman believes that users are likely to be swayed by this. If the sales volume at the end of the conference does not meet expectations, peers will definitely step on Tesla to death, and these peers will definitely take this opportunity to annex Tesla.

With Tesla's peers, it is easy to build electric vehicles. After all, Tesla has complete electric vehicle technology.

"Is there any way for Tesla to buy graphene batteries from BYD?" Marks asked.

If Tesla can purchase batteries from BYD, then Tesla can compete with Deep Blue Motors. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Tesla to compete with Deep Blue Motors.

“With Deep Blue Technology’s temper, they will not sell to us. The only way is to form an alliance with companies in the semiconductor industry and jointly lobby Congress on security grounds to ban all Deep Blue products from being sold in Europe.

Only in this way can we maintain Tesla's market share in Europe. ” said Sac Diomande.

Deep Blue Technology’s semiconductor technology has threatened the semiconductor industry, which can be said to be Tesla’s best ally at present.

Why not find someone in the automotive industry?
At this time, these people are eager to annex Tesla. If Tesla seeks them as allies, these people will definitely put forward very excessive conditions. They may let Tesla license the technology. Without the core technology, how can Tesla survive? Have core competitiveness.

"It is impossible to ban the sales of Deep Blue Technology's products." Max shook his head.

Although Deep Blue Technology has now become the enemy of the entire American semiconductor industry, Deep Blue Technology also has business dealings with these semiconductor companies, and these people will definitely not agree to lobby Congress with them.

By doing so, they are tantamount to completely cutting off their business in China.

In addition to having complete chip research and development capabilities, Deep Blue Technology has also developed core chips, such as CPU, GPU, memory, and automotive chips. There is nothing that Deep Blue Technology cannot produce.

It was developed by the operating system Deep Blue Technology.

Unless they can develop more advanced products, they will not be able to stop Deep Blue Technology. The only thing they can do is to create obstacles for Cao Mang, and they have to be careful when doing so.

Once Cao Mang is offended, the entire semiconductor industry will suffer.

The reason why Cao Mang did not sell the CPU and GPU separately was because he hoped that both parties could maintain a balance. This was already the acquiescence of both parties.

If they make Cao Mang anxious, Cao Mang will sell the CPU and GPU.

Intel, AMD, and Nvidia will definitely collapse as a result. Once the stocks of these three giants collapse, the entire semiconductor sector will collapse. At that time, the entire U.S. stock market will be affected, and the entire U.S. economy will also be affected.

Cao Mang was offended. In addition to these three semiconductor companies, the three giants of Fruit, Microsoft, and Google will also be affected.

Don't forget that Deep Blue Technology has its own research and development system. If Deep Blue Technology takes out its independent research and development system, they will completely lose the Chinese market.

In addition to losing the Chinese market, we may also lose some markets in Asia and Europe.

The impact of angering Cao Mang is no less than that of the 2008 financial crisis.

Max rejected the offer and Sac Diomande had no other options.
