Enterprise-funded cooperation between Chinese enterprises, The New York Times Times are changing, and cooperation is the only way out
It's the exact opposite!U.S. companies fund and beg Chinese companies to cooperate, The New York Times: Times have changed!
Brothers, this time it's really not a joke, American companies really received money and begged them to cooperate with Chinese companies. I don't know if you still have the impression that at the end of last year, the American technology giant Apple was gearing up to cooperate with BYD and CATL on new energy batteries. However, the offer was rejected at the time.
However, the reason for the rejection at that time was also very simple, that is, Apple couldn't distinguish its own positioning, and even asked BYD and CATL to build a battery factory in the United States for Apple, which was really big.
Data shows that by 2022, CATL and BYD will achieve explosive growth in the global power battery market. Specifically, the growth rate of the installed capacity of power batteries in CATL reached 925%, the market share reached 37%, and the growth rate of BYD's power battery installed capacity reached 1671%, with a market share of 136%, and the combined market share of the two is as high as 50%.
You know, this is a global market, and two Chinese companies can occupy half of the country, which is really not a joke. In the area of new energy batteries, China's leading edge in the world is too big, which is also the main reason for Apple's door-to-door cooperation, but Apple is arrogant after all, and can't accept this reality, so it wants to let CATL and BYD serve themselves at the same time.
Of course, not all American companies are as arrogant as Apple, and Ford, the traditional American auto giant, recognized the reality in time, took the initiative to lower his figure, and expressed the greatest goodwill to CATL, and said:"I have money, I pay to build a factory in the United States, you just need to put the technology online, and we will share the money together!"。
Compared with Apple's arrogance, Ford seems to be more sincere, so after many negotiations, Zeng Yuchun, the founder of CATL, finally agreed to build a factory in the United States, and the two sides cooperated to establish the first lithium iron phosphate battery factory in Michigan, USA.
The specific cooperation model is that Ford will invest 3.5 billion US dollars, Ningde will be the licensor of the patented battery technology, and the factory production will provide technology and services. To put it simply, one has no money and the other has no technology.
To be honest, this kind of cooperation model is not uncommon, in fact, in the early stage of China's development, in order to introduce some powerful technologies from the West, it is also to let us get out of the technical cooperation model outside the capital and the latter. To put it bluntly, this mode of cooperation is that a technologically backward country is forced by reality to make concessions and compromises to a technologically advanced country. Only this time, the situation has changed, it has been completely reversed, and the United States has made concessions to us, begging us for cooperation with money.
This situation is indeed very emotional: after more than 30 years of scientific and technological development, we have finally raised our heads and no longer need to rely on Western technology. Speaking of which, after CATL reached a cooperation with Ford Motor, the famous American ** New York Times also published an article saying:"Times have changed. Twenty-five years ago, China was desperately asking American automakers to bring their investment and expertise to China, but now the role has shifted, and one of America's most famous industrial giants is turning to China for technology in order to survive in the rapidly changing global automotive environment
Here, too, I would like to say that times have indeed changed!The rise of our country is becoming an unstoppable trend, before Huawei's strong rise in the field of 5G, now it is the rise of CATL and BYD in the field of electric batteries, and it is very likely that more Chinese technology companies will emerge in different fields in the future, and at that time, we will be able to truly become the world's first scientific and technological power!
