Chapter 948 Where is the Advantage?
In Su Yehao's assistant's office, a temporary team was established to help investigate the current development of the electric car industry.
Su Yehao happened to be free, so he listened to their report on-site.
The one responsible for presenting was a pretty intern girl from Singapore of Chinese descent, named Huang Jiayue, who had just joined the company this spring.
According to her resume, she was just twenty-two years old this year, a graduate of ETH Zurich, Switzerland, which is also Einstein's alma mater.
Since Su Yehao began to pay attention to environmental and ecological protection, the assistant's office made preparations in advance. The intern girl who gave the presentation had "Environmental Science" written in the major column, which obviously had no direct relationship with the company's business.
There are quite a few employees with such "unpopular" majors in the assistant's office.
For example, they previously recruited many graduates majoring in biology and chemistry to form teams to conduct investigations and research in the mainland.
When they achieve some results, when the time is right, Su Yehao plans to write a letter himself, proposing a phased ban on the import of foreign garbage, especially non-recyclable foreign waste.
In addition, there is aquaculture.
With Su Yehao's funding, experts were arranged to go to the Yangtze River to investigate the status of fishery resources, and by the way, use equipment to search for the baiji (Yangtze River dolphin), but unfortunately, it was never found. It was probably too late.
Fortunately, there are still many finless porpoises left.
He had seen photos of finless porpoises in the documents. The little guys were chubby and looked very cute.
When the cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences is comprehensive, and conclusions are drawn, it may also be possible to suggest a rotating fishing ban in the Yangtze River basin for recuperation.
As for whether it will work, it mainly depends on whether the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
He doesn't know how many fish are left in the Yangtze River now, but there are indeed no fish in the Pearl River basin. It is said that thirty years ago, fishermen could catch dozens of kilograms of fish every day, but later it became more like a dozen kilograms.
Nowadays, they only catch a few kilograms after working hard for a day, and this is with the upgrade of fishing technology.
According to the initial investigation, many fishermen can't even earn back the fuel cost of their fishing boats, and there are not many sea fish in the offshore areas.
Like Nong Qingying's parents, they have been busy all their lives without rest and continue to work.
They now go to the ocean for fishing, but the harvest is not very good. Last time Su Yehao had dinner with her parents, he also suggested that they simply go to the mainland and invest in a reasonably sized marine aquaculture company.
The demand for seafood in the mainland continues to rise. As long as you don't invest in Zhangzidao, where scallops often run away, other companies should have some prospects.
The north is developing too fast, and has been expanding rapidly until now. Previously, there were many aspects that could not be taken care of.
In 2004, there is actually a trend of overcapacity, and they can only desperately expand overseas markets.
In addition, with the Olympic Games to be held in a few years, which will attract international attention, it is a good opportunity to take the opportunity to mention environmental protection, accelerate the promotion of industrial upgrading, and optimize the industrial structure.
Su Yehao knows that there are a group of people in Europe and the United States who want to use environmental protection issues to restrict developing countries, which is a bit like destroying the natural ecology and then setting up a monument.
However, a team previously investigated the water quality around the Emperor Crab Island project, and the results were not optimistic. Not to mention the serious soil erosion, the water pollution was also quite serious.
Under this situation, we should indeed pay attention to the issue of sustainable development. It is better than paying more for ecological damage in the future for short-term gains now.
Many people are just talking about environmental protection and using it as a job to make money.
Su Yehao is different. He really dares to do it, and he is ready to put money into it, just as a hobby to give back to society.
At this moment.
Intern Huang Jiayue, with a nervous expression, played a PPT slideshow, introducing the preliminary investigation.
From the invention of electric vehicles at the end of the nineteenth century to the replacement of electric vehicles by fuel vehicles, which was limited by the stagnation of battery technology for more than half a century, she talked about the new changes in the market since the advent of lithium batteries in the 1990s.
Since the 1990s, automotive giants such as Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan have begun to try to develop pure electric and hybrid vehicles, but the market response has been particularly cold, attracting only a small number of customers.
A group of countries, including the mainland, have also successively promulgated new energy vehicle strategies. It is estimated that there is no need to open up new markets, so the performance of the old car companies is particularly cold. Occasionally, they develop products just to make a gesture, a bit like cheating subsidies.
Su Yehao sat in a comfortable position. He didn't know much about these things, and he listened with gusto.
It even talked about BYD, which he invested in. This company entered the automotive industry, and its first fuel car was so crude that it was unbearable to look at directly. Recently, it has entered the electric vehicle field by virtue of its advantage in producing batteries.
This is also a piece of news that he ignored.
He knows that BYD will make quite good cars in the future, but it does not meet Su Yehao's needs now.
From the current point of view.
The most efficient way is undoubtedly to start from foreign countries, use the mature industrial system to learn technology and train talents, which can effectively shorten the development cycle.
If Su Yehao had focused on the mainland from the beginning, with his influence, it would only arouse the vigilance of the entire related industry. At that time, he might run into obstacles everywhere and take many detours in vain.
After carefully reading the entire PPT, he was wondering where Tesla went.
The few new car-making forces that have performed well in the past few years are basically concentrated in Silicon Valley in California, but Tesla was not mentioned.
Su Yehao strongly suspected that he had once again fanned away a potential stock, and said without showing any emotion:
"Well done, concise and easy to understand. There is no need to guess the market size forecast for the time being. Anyway, we don't plan to use PPT to attract other investors. I think excellent companies must be adapting to the trends of the times. Now the world is facing high pollution and destruction of the natural ecology, and the most critical issue is the uneven distribution of regional energy. Electric vehicles are very promising. You should contact the small companies mentioned later to see whose technology is the most reliable and has the most investment value."
He has already made a decision, saying that electric vehicles are very promising. Anyone else present would be foolish to disagree.
Zhuang Wei, the assistant who came to join in the fun, said seriously:
"It shouldn't be difficult to produce electric vehicles. I see that these unknown small workshops can produce the products. The real difficulty should be how to mass-produce them and successfully open up the market, right? Things like how to charge, how to maintain and repair, and how to extend the service life must be considered in advance."
Su Yehao smiled and said:
"Good point. I'm afraid it will take a lot of money and a few years to prepare. In the early stage, it's better to sell misery and scare away other potential competitors. There is no need to consider whether it is worth investing. It's like the difference between digital cameras and traditional cameras. It may take a long time to gradually complete the transition, and becoming the mainstream is only a matter of time."
After pondering for a while, Assistant Zhuang Wei continued to ask, "Compared with fuel vehicles, what is its advantage? Is it cheaper? Does it save money?"
Su Yehao smiled slightly and replied:
"Neither, probably. The main reason is that there are more oil-poor countries and fewer oil-rich countries. Coal can generate electricity, and so can hydro, solar, and wind energy. For the sake of energy strategic security, coupled with the need for environmental protection, when we produce perfect enough products, policies will help us find a way out, and capital will also help. I also want to develop fuel vehicles, but the key is that I can't compete, so I have to switch to a new track..."
