#256 - The relationship has completely fallen out, and the tense situation is ready to explode.
"I refuse!"
Gao Nian directly rejected Tsuda Akina's words, causing the presidents or representatives of the nine major automobile companies present to turn livid with anger.
Gao Nian did not regret this; on the contrary, it strengthened his conviction.
After all, history has proven countless times how ridiculous the idea of 'buying is better than building' is. How could Geek Technology compromise?
Currently, Western automobile companies are willing to loosen the noose around the necks of domestic automobile companies, willing to sell the latest automobile technology and cars in the Chinese market.
They are even willing to lower the prices of automobile parts such as engines, transmissions, and car computers.
If Geek Technology chooses to compromise now, then domestic automobiles will never have any hope of rising.
After all, originally, due to the high prices of Western engines, transmissions, and other automobile parts, domestic automobile companies had the motivation to develop their own engines, transmissions, and other automobile parts.
But now, Western automobile companies are willing to loosen the noose, willing to release the latest automobile technology and cars into the Chinese market, and are even willing to lower the prices of automobile parts such as engines and transmissions.
Then, from now on, will domestic automobile companies still have the motivation to develop domestic engines, domestic transmissions, and other automobile parts?
Therefore, the compromise that Western automobile companies appear to be making is a huge benefit for domestic automobiles and consumers.
But in reality, it is cutting off the hope of the rise of domestic automobiles and also allowing the 'buying is better than building' faction to completely dominate the mainstream.
This 'buying is better than building' doesn't seem to have any problems on the surface, but once it comes to a critical moment, it will be quite fatal.
The events that happened to Zhongxing Technology and Huawei Technology in the previous life fully proved how ridiculous the 'buying is better than building' faction is.
Therefore, Geek Technology must not give up entering the automobile industry, and must not give up developing domestic automobiles!
"Mr. Gao Nian, are you sure you really want to enter the automobile industry?"
Tsuda Akina, the president of Tsuda Motors, asked with a cold and displeased expression.
"Yes, we at Geek Technology will absolutely not give up entering the automobile industry, and will absolutely not give up developing domestic automobiles!"
Saying this, Gao Nian waved his hand and said:
"Everyone, please leave."
After speaking, Gao Nian also directly left, no longer wanting to waste any more words with them.
This naturally caused the faces of the several presidents and negotiating representatives present to turn livid with anger.
"Your Geek Technology will regret this!"
Just as Gao Nian was about to walk out of the door, Tsuda Akina said with a grim expression.
However, Gao Nian ignored him, simply shrugged his shoulders, and left the meeting room without hesitation.
At this point, Geek Technology had completely broken ties with foreign automobile companies!
On the other side.
After walking out of the meeting room and heading towards the chairman's office, Lei BuSi also followed.
"This time, we've completely broken ties. Next, they're probably going to do everything they can to prevent us from entering the automobile industry and suppress our Geek Motors."
Hearing Lei BuSi's sigh, Gao Nian shrugged and said:
"It's just increasing the difficulty from difficult to hellish. The difficulties we encountered when we entered the computer industry were much greater than they are now."
"That's true."
Thinking of the computer industry, Lei BuSi had to admit that the computer industry was indeed much more difficult to deal with than the automobile industry.
After all, Intel uses the X86 instruction set to prevent other companies from developing computer CPU chips at the computer chip hardware level.
Weiruan Company also refuses to be compatible with computer CPU processors other than the X86 instruction set at the computer system level.
Moreover, what is even more fatal is that even if you obtain the X86 computer instruction set, you will still not be able to develop a powerful computer CPU chip due to the lack of other multimedia instruction sets.
Therefore, the entry threshold for the computer industry is actually much higher than that of the automobile industry, reaching a level where you can't even enter if you want to.
Fortunately, Geek Technology directly jumped out of the X86 computer system and played its own Geek computer system.
Otherwise, under the rules and gameplay set by others, Geek Technology would absolutely not have been able to achieve its current sales performance.
The automobile industry is different. As for whether the automobile industry has a threshold, it does have a certain threshold.
The biggest threshold is that building an automobile factory requires funds in the hundreds of millions, and you need to spend huge sums of money to establish automobile 4S stores.
Once you have your own automobile factory and your own automobile 4S store, you can then purchase those backward technology patents and automobile parts to produce a backward automobile.
Of course, the sales of this automobile cannot be guaranteed, but at least this automobile can be manufactured and sold.
This is also the reason why domestic automobile companies have been able to develop.
Now that Geek Technology has completely broken ties with Western automobile companies.
Whatever tricks Western automobile companies have up their sleeves, Geek Technology can only accept them first, and then, when Geek Electric Vehicles are launched, fiercely counterattack and make them regret it.
And so, with both of them having made their decisions, Geek Technology once again entered a state of diligently honing its internal strength.
However, not many days passed before something quite terrible happened to Geek Technology.
Geek Technology, which was in the process of acquiring shares of Geely Company, discovered that there was off-site capital interfering with Geek Technology's acquisition efforts on the stock market.
"Boss, because this capital is also massively acquiring shares of Geely Company at the same time, according to the current stock price.
If we want to control 67% of Geely Company's absolute controlling stake according to the original plan, the total expenditure will probably reach over 60 billion yuan!
According to our estimated maximum expenditure of 50 billion yuan, the additional expenditure exceeds 10 billion yuan!"
In the meeting room, Lei BuSi was reporting the current situation to Gao Nian, which also caused several senior executives present to reveal angry expressions.
After all, they all knew the source behind this capital.
Clearly, it was the nine major automobile companies interfering with Geek Technology, wanting to prevent Geek Technology from acquiring Geely Company!
"So they really are playing dirty tricks behind the scenes?"
Gao Nian's expression also couldn't help but darken.
If he remembered correctly, Geely Company's total market value did not exceed 40 billion yuan. Geek Technology taking out 50 billion to acquire Geely Company's absolute controlling stake was completely sufficient, or even somewhat excessive.
After all, absolute controlling stake is not 100% of the shares, but 67% of the shares.
Therefore, according to Geely Company's total market value of no more than 40 billion yuan, taking out 50 billion was already completely sufficient, or even somewhat excessive.
But now, those nine major automobile companies were actually also massively acquiring shares of Geely Company, directly raising Geely Company's stock price. What else could this be other than disgusting Geek Technology?!
