Pegasus Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Plant, General Manager Meeting Room.
General Manager Lin Chen was looking at a purchase agreement and frowned.
A man and a woman sat in front of him.
The man was in his forties, and he was the Deputy General Manager of Ultramicro Batteries.
The woman was in her twenties and was the secretary of the deputy general manager.
Under normal circumstances, as one of the top ten electric vehicle battery brands in the country and one of the shareholders of Ultramicro, he would not come to the Pegasus Electric Vehicle Factory for a purchase cooperation agreement.
This was because Pegasus didn't even rank in the top ten of the country's electric vehicle brands.
Compared to the top ten electric vehicle brands, which sold millions of units a year, Pegasus only sold hundreds of thousands of Pegasus electric vehicles a year, which was really nothing.
Ultramicro batteries supplied at least 10 million batteries to major electric vehicle brands every year. The demand of 200,000 to 300,000 for Pegasus electric vehicles was negligible to the turnover of Ultramicro batteries.
After Lin Chen read the purchase agreement, he suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled faintly."Vice President Liu, isn't it a little inappropriate to raise the price of the batteries purchased by my company by 30%?”
Usually, Lin Chen would address the deputy general manager as President Liu, but today, he had to change his address and emphasize the word "deputy".
Vice President Liu said with a troubled expression,"Mr. Lin, our company has made significant progress in researching graphene batteries and applied them to the batteries produced by our company, increasing the battery life and battery life by at least 20%.”
"For these new energy batteries, my company has spent a lot of manpower and resources, so it's normal to raise the price by 30%.”
Lin Chen chuckled." I can't deny that your company's achievements in the new energy battery industry are impressive. It's understandable that the original price of the new energy battery should be increased."”
"But I heard that your company only increased the price of electric vehicles sold to other electric vehicle brands by 10%, while it was 30% for my company.”
Vice President Liu did not mind." President Lin is also a businessman. You should know the principle of small profits but high turnover. For manufacturers like Aima, Yade, and Xinyang, the annual purchase volume is at least five million.”
After a pause, Vice President Liu smiled playfully and said,"If the Pegasus electric car can meet half of their company's demand, oh, no, even one-fifth, my company will also increase the price by the same margin.”
Lin Chen shook his head." Vice President Liu, you should know that other than Ultramicro, there are many other battery manufacturers like Xingheng and Tianlong. My company might not get the goods from your company.”
"Indeed, President Lin can choose other manufacturers, but you have to know that only our Ultramicro battery has made a major breakthrough in the field of graphene batteries.”
Vice President Liu spread his hands and looked like he had lost his patience. He stood up and left. As he walked, he said,"I can give Mr. Lin three days to consider. After three days, even if Mr. Lin agrees to this agreement, our company will not sell the new energy batteries to you.”
Lin Chen was expressionless and didn't say anything.
After Vice President Liu and his wife left the meeting room, they threw the agreement into the trash bin.
He slowly walked to the window and watched Vice President Liu and his wife get into the car and leave. There was another Mercedes-Benz business car with him.
Sitting in the Mercedes-Benz was General Manager Li of the Ai Ma Group.
He had come to talk to Lin Chen before Vice President Liu.
General Manager Li came to Lin Chen to "discuss" the acquisition of Pegasus.
Of course, Lin Chen rejected him.
Pegasus was founded by Lin Chen's father.
Lin Chen was 20 years old this year. He had returned home to inherit his father's business before graduating from university.
Father Lin was seriously injured in a car accident not long ago. He probably would never be able to stand up again.
Over the years, with the saturation of the electric vehicle industry, coupled with the serious assimilation, Pegasus electric vehicles fell into a disadvantage in the market competition, and part of the market share was constantly taken away by other manufacturers.
The Pegasus electric vehicle, which lacked competitiveness, could only survive in the form of low-end, low-price, and mass production. It could not earn much money at all.
Under such circumstances, if the battery supplier increased the price again, it would undoubtedly make the difficult Pegasus company worse and face the possibility of bankruptcy.
Lin Chen said that he could get the battery from other battery manufacturers.
However, the same electric car had a longer battery life. It was self-evident which brand consumers would choose.
"Is there really no way out for the Pegasus?”
Lin Chen wasn't convinced, but there was nothing he could do.
He had no choice but to accept reality.
The limiting factor for the development of electric vehicles was undoubtedly the new energy batteries.
Only electric vehicles with longer endurance could gain more users 'favor.
Pegasus also had its own research and development organization for new energy batteries, but without technology and funding, it was difficult to develop batteries with better battery life.
At this moment, a crisp loli voice suddenly sounded in Lin Chen's mind.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully binding the black technology system.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the graphene carbon nano technology.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the main mission. You will receive a random reward from the system for selling 10,000 Pegasus electric cars.
