432: From now on, Fenglei will be Wuling's big brother

It was Zhou Dafu who spoke first: "General Manager Ren, regarding this Super Production Line, just name your price. I'm genuinely interested in doing this business with you."

"It's not that I'm being stingy or anything, but the Super Production Line is currently our Fenglei's most powerful core competitive product. If we sell it to you, it's like selling ourselves. So, regarding the price, money isn't actually the most important thing."

Ren Yi also understood at this point, realizing he had reached the crux of the matter.

"The price isn't the most important thing, so General Manager Ren wants to..."

Lu Jun was a little afraid that Ren Yi would ask for an exorbitant price.

"I presume both of you saw the news today about our Fenglei and State Grid joining hands to enter the European charging market. What are your thoughts?" Ren Yi asked with a smile.

"This is definitely a great thing!"

"Europe's infrastructure is old, labor costs are high, and building high-voltage power grids and charging pile networks is extremely difficult, but they have money and a market. This is an extremely profitable business!!" Lu Jun immediately replied.

When he first heard this news, he couldn't deny that he was envious.

It's just a pity that Wuling doesn't have related business; otherwise, if he pestered Ren Yi, he might have been able to get on board.

"Our BYD indeed wants to participate in this ecosystem. I wonder if General Manager Ren will give us this opportunity?!" Zhou Dafu looked at Ren Yi with some anticipation.

Ren Yi certainly wouldn't agree.

How could a freshly acquired cake be so easily given away?

And these two guys still wanted to steal from him.

They were eyeing his Super Production Line; their audacity was truly not ordinary.

It's estimated that Captain Fu also felt embarrassed, as his face turned red when he spoke.

Suddenly, Ren Yi laughed heartily: "General Manager Zhou, I can't make the decision on this matter alone. You'll have to talk to Director Zhu of State Grid. As you know, our Fenglei is just a car manufacturer. We proposed this plan, and it's already fortunate that they agreed. How could we possibly bargain with State Grid?"

Hearing this, Zhou Dafu could only echo: "That's right, State Grid, can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend."

However, he did have some thoughts, after all, their BYD is also considered a major client of State Grid, so there's room for discussion.

At this moment, Lu Jun was the most anxious.

Because he definitely couldn't get involved in the charging pile business.

But this Super Production Line, he couldn't let it fall through again.

"General Manager Ren, regarding the Super Production Line, could you tell us what the plan is? Everything can be discussed, right??" He asked again.

"It's like this: the Super Production Line is certainly Fenglei's top priority, but our cooperation with State Grid, this charging pile business, is not something we can handle alone. It's estimated that 100 million charging piles will require how many raw materials to produce?"

"The supply chain involved is also very extensive. Therefore, I propose that we partner up and establish a company: State Grid takes 30%, our Fenglei takes 40%, and your two companies take the remaining 30% to jointly produce Super Charging Piles, how about that?"

"And this Super Production Line can also help you produce your own products, of course, the cost will be deducted from the company dividends." Ren Yi said with a smile.

The reason Fenglei takes 40% of this share split is naturally because they own the intellectual property rights of the Super Production Line and should rightfully take the largest share.

State Grid, as a heavyweight, possesses unique ultra-high voltage power technology globally and shares in various European national grids.

In this cooperative company, it acts as the constructor and seller, and 30% is its rightful share.

As for Wuling and BYD, they indeed had cooperation with Fenglei and are considered acquaintances.

And within the remaining 30%, it is estimated that BYD will take 20% and Wuling 10%.

After all, BYD's OEM scale is much larger than Wuling's.

But then again, if Ren Yi didn't seek their cooperation, it would also be understandable.

Currently, there's a queue of companies wanting to cooperate with Fenglei.

However, to open up the global market now, having one more partner means one more person to share the risks.

Therefore, Ren Yi ultimately proposed such a plan.

Lu Jun of Wuling and Zhou Dafu of BYD are both smart people.

Although Ren Yi's plan didn't sell them the Super Production Line, it did give them a big deal in the charging pile business, which can be considered a worthwhile trip.

Furthermore, due to the Super Production Line's production capacity, they can also produce their own products.

This means that after products are released in the future, they won't need to build their own production lines; they can completely hand it over to Fenglei's Super Production Line.

This is practically no different from getting free money.

As a General Manager, Lu Jun had the authority to act first and report later, and he immediately made a decision: "General Manager Ren, from now on, Fenglei will be Wuling's big brother, and SAIC General Motors won't be able to do anything!"

Ren Yi felt a bit embarrassed hearing this.

After all, his original intention wasn't entirely for the other party's consideration.

"No, no, no, we're all friends. Saying that makes it sound like we're strangers."

Zhou Dafu, standing by, watched as the two so happily decided on a big deal and even formed a long-term cooperative relationship, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He only regretted that he didn't have enough authority to immediately acknowledge Fenglei as his big brother.

"General Manager Ren, I need to report this matter to the board of directors before getting back to you. However, with such a good business, I'm sure they won't refuse, rest assured!" Zhou Dafu patted his chest and guaranteed.

"Hehe, General Manager Zhou, it seems you're not capable either, you can't even make a decision on such a small matter." Lu Jun seized the opportunity to strike.

"Oh, if your board of directors doesn't agree, then my Wuling will take all three tenths."

"Pfft, dreaming!"

...

Meanwhile.

Somewhere in the suburbs of Europe.

Martina looked at her beautiful wind rhombus little mm with some worry. Beside it were an old man's joy and an electric tricycle made in China, bought by her parents.

Previously, their family of three decided to go on a self-driving trip to visit nearby cities.

Unexpectedly, there wasn't even a charging pile in the countryside. They pushed the car for a long time before finding someone's house to borrow a charging pile and start charging.

This made her realize that although she bought a car, she could only move around within the city.

Going a little further was impossible; a fuel car was more reliable.

If State Grid's coverage was wider and there were more charging piles, it would be great.

Martina had always dreamed of self-driving across Europe, or even the world.

But she only had a new energy vehicle, and with so few charging piles, this idea could only be put on hold.

Just then, her phone received a news push from Wuling.

"China State Grid and Fenglei join forces to invest hundreds of billions in Europe to build charging piles and energy storage stations!!"

Seeing this title, Martina's eyes widened.

She had just made a wish, and it was going to come true so quickly?
