Chapter 1672 [The most important scientific discovery of the 21st century? ]
According to the established strategic plan, after the Goose Market, the next stage is to target the wealthy people in the Middle East, and then further expand along the One Belt and One Road. Even though the economy of these places is quite backward, there are also many rich people.
The total market capacity is very large.
After Xingyu Technology's new energy vehicle products showed stronger than expected performance in the goose market, the stock prices of major traditional automobile manufacturers around the world suffered varying degrees of decline during this period.
Obviously, capital is still very pragmatic, and it is not ambiguous when it comes to vital interests.
The drop in stock prices is due to fear that Xingyu Technology will go global, and investors are worried that those car companies will not be able to compete with Xingyu Technology's new energy vehicles.
The global automobile market is only that big and will not see much growth in a short period of time. Especially for high-end luxury brands, the market capacity is only that large.
If you sell more cars, it means that other brands will sell less cars.
Investors obviously lack confidence in those traditional car giants facing the competitive pressure of Xingyu Technology.
Among them, the share prices of European car companies have fallen the most. Surprisingly, the three major Asian brands of BBA have suffered the worst decline. Mercedes-Benz has a market value of only 75 billion US dollars, Volkswagen Group has a market value of only 68.7 billion US dollars, and BMW has a market value of only 68.7 billion US dollars. Only $65.6 billion.
The combined market value of the three major brands is US$209.3 billion, which is equivalent to a total market value of approximately RMB 1.25 trillion excluding exchange rate changes.
From the perspective of market value alone, even Xingyu Technology’s younger brother Tongtai Automobile Group has hoisted BBA and hammered it. The three companies together can’t compare. Tongtai Auto’s current market value has reached 1.58 trillion yuan.
When the NSE 50 Index reached 16,721.76 points, Tongtai Motor's market value peaked at more than 2.29 trillion, surpassing the small Toyota, and second only to Tesla, becoming the second largest car company in the world in terms of market value. It is now also ranked Third in the world.
Of course, this does not include Xingyu Automobile. Xingyu Technology is currently undergoing a spin-off and reorganization, and its new energy vehicle department will be separated separately to establish Xingyu Automobile. Both investors and industry insiders unanimously recognize that Xingyu Automobile After Yu Automobile is split and listed, it will definitely rank first in the world and become the largest car company in terms of market capitalization. The valuation is conservatively estimated to reach 10 trillion, which is more than three times the size of Tesla.
The current BBA is not even as good as its younger brother Tongtai Automobile Group, let alone on par with Xingyu Technology.
However, it is worth mentioning that the stock prices of the three BBA car brands have fallen the most. Another important factor is that Amnesia Capital Group is also deliberately suppressing it, with the purpose of forcing capital to flee from Azhou to Beimei. This book This is one of the purposes of making the geese start hooting.
Therefore, the market values of BBA's three Asian car companies have fallen miserably, and they will continue to fall in the future. Their respective market values will definitely fall below US$50 billion one after another.

Mars Exploration Project Team Research Center.
"This... this... if I guessed correctly, the object in the picture should not look like a natural formation, but more like a... fossilized vertebrae?" A scientist said in shock as he stared at the picture on the screen.
Several other scientists present also looked at each other in shock.
The picture on the computer screen is not from the earth, but the first batch of photos sent back from Mars. Three weeks ago, the "Zhurong" Mars rover successfully landed on the surface of Mars.
After the successful landing, the "Zhurong" Mars rover began to perform sample collection tasks as planned, and also brought back the first batch of high-definition pictures taken at close range on the surface of Mars.
This picture was apparently taken by the "Zhurong" Mars rover while collecting Martian soil samples along the way.
"Everyone, if this is a fossil, it will definitely be a historic and unprecedented discovery!" Another scientist stared at the object that looked like a fossilized spinal bone in the photo and said excitedly.
At this time, the project leader tried his best to suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart, and said: "There are specialties in the art industry, and we are not experts in this field. Copy this picture and ask experts in the field of paleontology and fossil research to authoritatively identify it." . But it must be kept confidential, let alone the picture of Mars, and we cannot ask anyone to identify it. "
After some discussion, everyone reached a consensus and asked professionals to conduct professional appraisal.
If it is proven that the object in this picture is a fossilized biological vertebra, it goes without saying that everyone present knows what that means. It will definitely be the most significant scientific discovery of mankind in the 21st century, and it may not even be one of them.
Because it answers the question of whether Earth is the only planet with life in the universe.
Whether in the private or scientific circles, there has been speculation and discussion about whether there is life on Mars for a long time. Nowadays, academic circles generally believe that Mars was a planet with a global liquid ocean billions of years ago. There is already too much evidence for this. It is proven that the river beds, oxbow lakes, etc. washed out on the surface of Mars are all evidence.
Moreover, "Tianwen-1" has previously discovered that there is liquid water under the formation of Mars, which is solid evidence. If all the water in the bottom layer is released to the surface of Mars, a global ocean can still be formed.
Previous academic research believed that the mystery of the disappearance of water on Mars was that the cooling of the core and the disappearance of the magnetic field caused the atmosphere to be stripped away by the solar wind. Without the protection of the atmosphere, the liquid water on Mars evaporated and was blown into space by the solar wind. After billions of years, the water on Mars finally disappeared.
Only a small amount of frozen water was retained in the polar caps, but the discovery of "Tianwen-1" proved that the water on Mars did not completely escape into outer space. A considerable part of the water still penetrated into the strata and was stored in the form of liquid water.
Although the core of Mars has cooled, it is also relative. At present, academic research generally believes that the temperature of the core of Mars is still 1500 Kelvin, which is about 1200 degrees Celsius. The closer to the core, the higher the temperature. The temperature under the strata of Mars is obviously higher than the surface, which is enough to support the existence of water in liquid form.
"Do you want to inform Mr. Fang of this major discovery first?" The scientist who was in a meeting to discuss asked the project leader. Everyone present knew that the sponsor was very much looking forward to discovering alien life.
If the sponsor knew that there were fossils on Mars, wouldn't the funds be poured into their project? They would definitely increase the intensity of Mars exploration.
At this time, the project leader thought about it and said, "There is no conclusion yet. Let's wait a little longer. It won't be too late to inform Mr. Fang after the subsequent identification results come out."
