The gas station industry is still profitable at present.
Therefore, Wujiang Group's plan to acquire gas stations on a large scale with huge investments will not result in a loss.
At this time in my previous life, the number of gas stations in the country was only increasing.
...
...
Zhao Ye's "cut off the fuel supply" plan was quickly implemented.
Starting in January 2009, gas stations of all sizes on the market were acquired.
"Old Zheng, has Wujiang Group sent someone to contact you?"
Zheng Yu received a call from Wu Jun, a colleague.
Both men are owners of gas station chains, owning no fewer than ten gas stations.
"Not yet, but I've heard that many gas stations have already been sold to Wujiang Group!" Zheng Yu shook his head and said.
“I’ve heard that too. Wujiang Group is going to completely monopolize, and even overturn, the entire gas station industry!” Wu Jun paused and said, “It’s said that Wujiang Group plans to buy up all the gas stations and convert them into charging stations! In this way, people will only be able to buy new energy electric vehicles in the future, because there will be nowhere to refuel traditional gasoline cars!”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yu nodded, feeling shocked.
"Such a grand undertaking, in today's world, perhaps only Wujiang Group could pull it off!" Zheng Yu clicked his tongue in amazement, then exclaimed, "It seems that new energy electric vehicles are the inevitable trend, and gas stations will soon be phased out of the market!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Jun nodded in agreement: "Yes, I think so too! With Wujiang Group doing this, everyone will only dare to buy new energy electric vehicles from now on. Moreover, the resale value of traditional gasoline vehicles will plummet, and may even collapse completely!!!"
Many people value a car's resale value when buying one, so that if they drive the new car for two years and then sell it, the loss won't be too great.
But with Wujiang Group doing things this way, what resale value will gasoline cars have left? Imagine, a few years from now, gas stations will all be gone, and gasoline cars will become just decorations. It would be strange if their resale value didn't plummet!
Zheng Yu and Wu Jun talked for a long time. They were still undecided whether to sell the gas station to Wujiang Group or continue to run it themselves...
Not long after.
People from Wujiang Group also contacted them.
"Mr. Zheng, new energy electric vehicles are sweeping the country. Either convert your gas stations into charging stations, or sell them off as soon as possible. You can still get a high price for them. Otherwise, you'll definitely lose money in the future!" The people who came to acquire them advised them sincerely.
As the saying goes, "Listen to advice, and you'll have a full stomach!"
It is an indisputable fact that traditional gasoline-powered vehicles face a severe situation in China.
Anyone with even a slight understanding of national policies should know that new energy electric vehicles will inevitably replace traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.
While opening a gas station can still be profitable now, the future is uncertain.
"If you are willing to convert your gas station into a charging station, our company can provide you with support and subsidies!"
Since the number of new energy electric vehicles is still relatively small, opening charging stations is not very profitable at present. Therefore, it is necessary to provide them with appropriate subsidies and give them more of the profits.
"If you are unwilling, then you will not have such good conditions in the future, and you will not even be able to get the entry ticket to the charging station market!"
Use both sweet treats and harsh measures; combine kindness and severity.
It all depends on what the other party decides.
...
...
As the saying goes, "Money makes the world go round!"
More and more gas stations are being acquired by Wujiang Group.
Suddenly, the car market was in a state of panic!
Before long, rumors spread like wildfire that Wujiang Group was going to convert its gas stations into charging stations, causing quite a stir in the city!
Many people planning to buy a car are now facing a very serious problem: if they buy a gasoline-powered car now, they won't have anywhere to refuel in the future...
Since the "rumor" was leaked, sales of gasoline-powered cars have been severely sluggish.
However, new energy electric vehicles are selling like hotcakes.
In February 2009, sales of new energy electric vehicles increased 4.2 times compared to the previous month, a staggering increase.
Prices of various gasoline-powered vehicles in China have plummeted, but even so, it has had little effect on increasing sales.
News of Wujiang Group acquiring several more gas stations circulates online every day.
This news was like a death knell, tolling the death knell for gasoline-powered cars!
Domestic car brands, having obtained technology licenses from Tiangong Technology, can easily transition to developing new energy electric vehicles. However, foreign automakers are not so fortunate. Tiangong Technology has not licensed its technology to them, effectively depriving them of their competitive edge in the new energy electric vehicle market.
In the past, foreign companies imposed technological blockades on China, and now they are experiencing the same fate.
Moreover, Tiangong Technology is not afraid of them catching up at all.
Tiangong Technology has been involved in the field of new energy electric vehicles for many years, but has only achieved a little bit of success.
It's wishful thinking for Western automakers to think they can catch up in a short time.
Furthermore, getting them to relinquish their technological advantages in traditional gasoline-powered vehicles is extremely difficult. If they were to switch to a new arena, they would be relegated to a less competitive position; they certainly wouldn't be willing to accept that.
Moreover, Western countries are not as lacking in petrochemical energy as China. After all, Western countries are often in cahoots and their access to oil is not blocked.
In addition, the power development in Western countries is clearly not as advanced as that in China.
