If the question is “you will sell the Nintendo Switch 2 despite the price increase” the answer is: yes, a lot

by

469 euros. Is what is worth Nintendo Switch 2 Brand new without a single game. A price that makes it compete with consoles such as PlayStation 5 wave Xbox Series x And that, no matter how much it hurts, it takes on some sense: The switch is no longer a toy. It was possible to wonder if, after this price increase, Nintendo would have easy to sell its new console. The answer is clearer than ever. Not that he is selling well, he is selling more than he had planned. The Price Upon. The Nintendo Switch went on sale in Spain at a price of 329.99 euros. Four years after its launch, the company It reduced it to 299.99 euros. A strategic movement to give way to a switch OLED that went on the Spanish market in 2021 by 349.99 euros. Four years later, the company launches its new switch 2 for 469 euros, and with specifications that few expected. Ability to execute games in 4K 60FPS, an important graphic jump in the games that await you and the great added of Switch: portability. Uncertainty. A few days after your presentation, Nintendo postponed switch 2 reservations in the United States. Reason? The constant changes in tariffs imposed on China and other countries by the Trump administration. The rumors about price increases on the PVP that had been planned were in the air although, after a foreseeable calm, it seems that everything follows its course. Dying of success. Partially loved the stormNintendo has revealed how Switch reserves are going. The answer is “extremely” well. Shuntaro Furukawa has explained in X The current situation. “We have acquired many pieces in advance and state progressing with the production so that we can make the deliveries of Nintendo Switch 2. On April 2, we announced its details and open a lottery for sale in My Nintendo Store. As a result, we receive an extremely large amount of applications: approximately 2.2 million people only in Japan. This far exceeds our initial expectations and far exceed Switch 2 that can be delivered through My Nintendo Store on June 5. The Switch 2 is dying of success before birth in Japan, so much that it will not be able to meet all the initial deliveries. Forced march in production. Nintendo not only has to supply Japan from Switch 2, it has to do the same with the global market. Furukawa has assured that the company will reinforce its production system, one that continues to depend on countries like China, which has been imposed a 125%tariff. The big doubt is what will happen to the price of this console in its long life cycle. Competitors like Sony are clear: They are already uploading prices.

The aid seemed the only way to sell electric cars. Germany is demonstrating that we were wrong

by

Electric car sales do not take off without state aid. And it has logic if we take into account that we are talking about a technology that forces the driver to Make some adaptation And, according to what cars we buy, force him to plan your trips. The electric car has many advantages. In Spain, with current prices and rates, an electric car can be much cheaper That one of combustion shortly time. In fact, The more trips and kilometers dothe car comes out. To this we must add the advantages Undoubted for day to day such as the absence of vibrations, of noise, the comfort of having the entire torque to a throttle pedal … but they are advantages that the client has to discover and that it is normal that it does not encourage it when the disbursement will be of tens of thousands of euros. To foster change, states have focused on giving purchase aid. It is a good way to lower the price and leave it at a cost closer to combustion models, especially when electric were sensibly more expensive than gasoline or diesel. They are decisions for which the reference countries have opted in the electric car market. He did it Norway, he did (and he does) China And Germany did it. And the German case showed us that without purchase aid, Electric car sales are deflated… or deflated. Because they have grows again. What if we have been looking at the wrong place? Direct aid to purchase At the end of 2023 justice forced Germany to withdraw aids to the purchase of electric cars. The reason is that funds had been diverted to combat the crisis derived from the coronavirus to the promotion of the electric car. Without destiny for that money, the government had preferred to reinvest it in the game of electric mobility. For justice, this was illegal and therefore I ordered the aid to immediately withdraw. Overnight, aid fell to the purchase that extended to all cars up to 65,000 euros. Last year, in 2024, a reduction in subsidies was already expected but buyers could expect a mattress of 4,500 euros in cars of up to 40,000 euros and 3,000 euros in which a price of between 40,000 and 65,000 euros appears. The help was complemented by manufacturers with 2,250 euros and 1,500 euros, respectively. That is, savings in the first case could be up to 6,750 euros and in the second of up to 4,500 euros. Figures similar to those we see in Spain with the MOVES III PLANrecently reimputed until the end of the year or exhaust the funds available. Last year, the fall in electric car sales was considerable. In its first year of direct aid to the purchase, Germany enrolled 27.4% less electric cars. A blow to European accounts with the main electric car market by volume falling from 524,219 tuition from 2023 to 380,609 units enrolled in 2024. By market share, the German electric car fell from 18.4% to 13.5%. However, everything has changed in these first months of 2025. They collect in Motorpasion than the 17% of cars Enrolled in Germany are electric. Compared to the month of March of last year, 35.5% have been grown and the trend indicates that it will continue to grow. It is very good news because they lack direct aid to the purchase of cars of this type. What the State is doing is to encourage the purchase of this type of fleet cars. Companies can deduce up to 40% of the value of the car in the purchase of new cars. A decision that has triggered sales since company vehicles reflect 67% of new car registration in Germany. The strategy is not new in Europe and focuses on the importance of aid beyond lowering the price of cars. In Norway, they stood out that if they have made the electric car Your best selling technology It has been because for years they have given themselves constant subsidies related to the property of the electric car. Not paying some taxes or road toll have been definitive attractive for implementation. Yes indeed, 1.8 billion euros have been raised. Belgium has been the other great country where the electric car has exploded in sales in recent months. In Belgium they already exceed 30% quota electric car market. Last year, to February 2024, they exceeded 20% market share and in 2022 they barely exceeded 8%. The secret is in the aids that, again, are given to companies. Depending on income, a company can be deduced up to 100% of the electric car fee. The percentage will fall over the years but prevent maintaining this economic incentive until 2031. In Bloomberg They explain that in a country where the company car is usually used as an incentive when changing work, promoting the purchase of this type of cars is key to popularize them and reach sectors that did not expect to make the leap for a few years (or did not expect it at all, as one of those interviewed in the article recognizes). The strategy contrasts with the one we have been carrying so far in Spain. Our country has also joined the delivery of purchase aids but, in addition to not being direct at the time of signing the contract, Each extension It has been a birth. The suspension for two months In the last extension of the Moves III Plan it has been the best example.

sell more pigs in China

by

There is no war without collateral effects. AND Commercial They are no exception. In full climb of the tariff pulse between the US and China, with Gravel crossings of more than 100% to their exports and the uncertainty of how these rates will affect the Milmillonario Comercio Between both countries, the Spanish pig sector seems to have encountered an unexpected “Window of opportunity”. The reason? The US is a relevant supplier of pork for China, but from now on it will be penalized by tariffs, leaving an important (and tempting) hollow in the Asian market. And Spain already It has moved token (with agreements to the highest level) to expand your presence in Chinese butchers. A percentage: 125%. At the end of last year, when Trump (then still elected president) already loved the tariffs to China, Canada or Mexico, from Beijing They launched a notice To navigators: “No one wins a commercial war.” Months later already waiting to see how the tariff pulse evolves, time seems to prove him right. Washington has raised 145% (including 20% for fentanyl) The rates imposed on Chinese exports to the US while the Xi Jinping Executive has reacted by increasing its own to the goods “Made in USA “ 125%. A sector: the pig. This crossing of encumbrances has made the commercial war (extendable to other countries) be intensified between Washington and Beijing, with derivations to multiple sectors. Among all there is one that Spain looks with special interest: pig. The reason is very simple. China is A huge producerbut also a great market that matters every year hundreds of thousands of tons and mobilizes thousands of millions of dollars. And to show a button: according to Reuters, in 2023 China received pork (including casquery) by value of 6,000 million. In that generous flow of swine merchandise to the Chinese market, the US plays a relevant role. The forecasts for 2024 passed through the US It was consolidated as one of the large pork exporters worldwide, with a global flow of 3.24 million of metric tons. In one of its latest balances, US Meat Exportation (USMEF) states that, although last year pork exports to China/Hong Kong descended 6%, they exceeded the 467,200 tonswith a value of approximately 1,140 million dollars. One question: And now what? The big question after the application of 125% tariffs to US exports to China and the battery of Bureaucratic countermeasures displayed by Beijing is … how will they affect that flow of pork directed to the Chinese market? Will it remain competitive or leave a hole? The question is specially interested in other great producers who have already managed to get a place in the butchers of the Asian giant, such as Brazil or the EU. And within the latter Spain stands out. This same week AHDB published A report In which he points out that in 2024 China imported 1.06 million tons of pork, 31% less than the previous year, and about 1.15 million tons of “spoils” (casquería), the latter product and has grown up 4% interannual. According to their data, among the great exporters include the EU-27 (with a key weight from Spain), Brazil and the United States. A country: Spain. As Publish today The country The scenario that have opened the trade war and the 125% tariffs applied by Beijing to the US interests, and much, the Spanish pig sector. After all, the Asian market knows well and in the past it has demonstrated its ability to work on it with figures much higher than the current ones: in 2020, after China had to Sacrifice a good part From his cabin for an outbreak of swine fever, Spain triggered his export there until he added a record volume, with an assessment of 3,117 million of euros, according to The country. Since then the flow of Spanish pig exports to China was reduced in a sensitive way until it was around 1,066 million of euros in 2024. Different factors have entered at stake, such as The general fall in pork imports in China coinciding with the recovery of the Chinese cabin or the increase in the Spanish pig for the impact of the Ukraine War (influenced the cost of feeding the cattle) or the effects of the Swine respiratory syndrome nationally. A advice: “Be attentive”. With that backdrop, the sector sees with a special interest both the tariffs from China to the United States and The steps Qua is already giving Spain to recover land in the Asian market. A few days ago the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of Spain and the General Administration of Chinese Customs signed a protocol for the export of pigs that, In the words of the Moncloa“It will allow expanding the list of authorized products that are exported from Spain.” “You have to be attentive to the opportunities that arise in this changing future. The export protocol signed on Thursday is another sign that China wants to open its market to new suppliers,” Guiseppe Aloisio reflectsGeneral Director of the National Association of Meat Industries of Spain (ANICE). Although it assumes that part of the hole will probably be assumed by Brazil, it also believes that the new scenario can open an “opportunity sale” to Spain. A but: demand for dumping. Not everything is opportunities and advantages. And not only for the interest of other great producers such as Brazil (or even Russia) in the Chinese pig market. Maybe Spain and China have approximate positions in recent days, but it does not so much the prospects of the European (and Spanish) pig sector were tarnished by another Beijing movement: The investigation Open in 2024 to EU imports for the suspicions of unfair competition, a movement that was once interpreted as a replica to The decision of Brussels of Apply tariffs To Chinese electric cars. The key is whether with the beginning of the commercial war that process has gone to the background. “Research Antidumping They are framed in a new … Read more

There are 2,400 Tesla Cybertruck without owner. Fix the failure is to sell them in a SO: Saudi Arabia

by

Tesla expected her cybertruck to become a success of sales. Clearly, he did not calculate well what was coming. The company is in an unknown crisis. When he had managed to settle as another company of vehicles, an unexpected events are complicating his numbers. A stranger. Tesla sold less cars in 2024 that in 2023. It is not uncommon for a company to face this situation but is unpublished for Elon Musk’s company that year after year had settled in sustained growth. Although he did everything possible to improve his numbers at the end of the year, the accounts did not finish leaving. Despite this, investors pointed to an optimistic future. Despite the rejection of some of them, they had seen the Musk bet for autonomous driving And, with Donald Trump in power, the prospects were good enough for the shares to walk towards the 500 euros of value. A Batacazo. But 2025 is being a bad year for the company. Before the end of the year, investors began Adjust action prices. Then came the confirmation that Tesla did not improve numbers of the previous year. And month after month The sales of their cars have been weighed by the renewal of Tesla Model and … and we do not know to what extent because of political opinions and behavior of Elon Musk. The truth is that the company has crashed in Europe. The Tesla Model and, which was The best -selling car in the worldis missing at the moment until the arrival of his renewal. It remains to be seen how much traction it now has that the competition squeezes and seems discarded a Tesla “cheap” of $ 25,000. With name and surname. If a car is being a failure that is the Tesla Cybertruck. The company’s pick-up promised to be a success. It was supposed to accumulated hundreds of thousands of reservations And it did not seem to import that it arrived with a very marked premium and, to top it off, a reduced autonomy. At times, the car was a sales missile and became the best -selling luxury model of Tesla. But, little by little, the globe was punctuing. The multiple arrived Review callsthe videos in which He joked with his offroad capabilities and one Foundation series that seemed impossible to sell. To the point of putting the same car on the street for thousands of dollars less Thanks to remove some sheets. They are not sold. We already explained Why Tesla could have made Cybertruck a special model in its range, well built (to which the plates did not fall), produce it under minimum, generate expectation and risk very little with its proposal. However, the company wanted to believe that its gigantic Cybertruck could be a mass car. And everything indicates that their calculations have been completely wrong. In Motorpasion They collect that the company has an average 30 -day stock available. It could deliver up to 2,400 vehicles that are valued at a price of about 200 million dollars. Right now, they are completely standing waiting for a buyer. Of course, it seems that the production of 1,300 weekly units It is being more a problem than an attractive figure. Looking for solutions. Overdimensizing the demand of a car can be a serious problem for a brand. Having too stock stands out the product and generates serious cost problems when storing vehicles. In addition, he suggests that too much money has been invested in a assembly line that is not profitable. That same problem has had, for example, Stellantis that did not measure (or Tavares did not want to measure) Well your audience in the United States. That caused an excess of stock in some concessionaires that practically gave the fiat 500ethe electrical version of the utility. The decision made by Tesla is also the most obvious: to start selling its cheapest options. The company has opened a new line offering the most modest versions of the Cybertruck. It is the so -called Long Range, with greater autonomy but less benefits and a simpler suspension (springs instead of pneumatic suspension). Saudi Arabia. The other way to open market is Sell ​​your cars in Saudi Arabia. While the company eliminated the Chinese market the Tesla Model X and Model S (almost testimonial there) as a result of the increase in tariffs between the two countries, the company looks at the Middle East. The country has launched a project to fill its cargo points, as part of the plan for converts as a nation for 2030. Aware of the money available for its potential customers, Tesla has not hesitated to offer all its range in the Arab country. Actually, it is a maneuver that makes sense. Tesla can allow you to distribute your cars there and try to open a new market. Perhaps it will not be the one that generates the greatest sales volume but it is likely that you can sell your most expensive and, therefore, profitable cars there. A Tesla Cybertruck can find a very nutritious market in Saudi Arabia. Photo | Tesla and Abdulrhman Alkhnaifer In Xataka | The owners of a Tesla Cybertruck “packed” it with solar panels for $ 10,000.

You can no longer sell your chip for the most successful in China

by

The commitment reached Jensen Huang, the general director of Nvidia, and Donald Trump At the end of last week In the restaurant of the Mar-A-Lago Tourist Complex of Palm Beach (Florida) It was a mirage. Wet paper During the last weeks several filters anticipated that the Department of Commerce, which under Trump’s mandate is being led by Howard Lutnick, intended to prevent the chip for artificial intelligence (AI) NVIDIA H20 I continue to arrive in China. At the current situation for the company directed by Jensen Huang this GPU is very important. In fact, her engineers designed her to have a chip for the people who could deliver to her Chinese clients when US sanctions They prohibited Nvidia for sale in the country led by Xi Jinping of the GPU A800 and H800as well as graphics cards with chip GeForce RTX 4090. Previously the Department of Commerce had also radically restricted the sale in China of the GPUs A100 and H100the most advanced of Nvidia at that time. Nvidia’s success in China has the days counted The reception they have given to the GPU H20 The Chinese clients of Nvidia has been very good despite the fact that the capabilities of this chip are clearly lower than those of the other proposals for the this company. In fact, initially the Department of Commerce allowed its sale in China because this integrated circuit met the restrictions it had imposed. And despite its limitations its sales in China 50% quarter to quarter have grown Since he arrived in this market in mid -2024. The US Department of Commerce has imposed export restrictions on China from the GPU H20 Despite all this era of bonanza for Nvidia in China is about to finish. And finally the leaks have been fulfilled: the US Department of Commerce It has imposed restrictions to the export to China of the H20 GPU, and this in practice means that this chip presumably It will not reach Chinese clients in Nvidia. During the dinner I have mentioned in the first lines of this article Jensen Huang presumably committed to Donald Trump to invest more money in data centers for the US. In return, Nvidia could continue selling its H20 GPU in China. After all, this is the chip that currently supports its business in this Asian country. But This pact has faded. And the company led by Jensen Huang is already paying it. His shares have fallen 6% and Nvidia has announced that this prohibition will cause a hole in its accounts of 5.5 billion dollars due to the commitments linked to the H20 GPU that the reserves of this chip had already acquired that it will finally not be satisfied. Among the Chinese clients who have bought large amounts of this GPU, and who presumably planned to continue doing it, are Tencent, Alibaba or Bytedance.

Europe has proposed a 0% tariff for its cars. The only problem is that they have no cars to sell us

by

The United States has hit first and Europe tries to defend itself through negotiation. That is what indicates the first reaction of the European Union to tariffs of 25% imposed by the Donald Trump government to cars, the pieces that compose them, steel and aluminum. Also to the 20% tariff in flat rate format that the United States has imposed on all the countries of the European Union. The response of the European Union has been to put the table and sit down to negotiate. Europe plays the future of many sectors but the car is especially critical. According to UGTon average in Europe, 3.2% of each country’s employees work in the production of vehicles and engines or in activities associated with them such as repair or distribution and sale. The document mentions the Draghi reportthe result of a study commissioned by the European Union to which the European Central Bank was to seek solutions to the European economic decline against emerging powers. It pointed out that in Europe there are 13.8 million people working in the automobile sector, representing 6.1% of the active population. According to the European CommissionWe export vehicles to the United States worth 38.9 billion euros. Only the United Kingdom, who bought cars worth 34,300 million euros, rivals this country. To this we must add that a multitude of European vehicle manufacturers produce in Mexico or Canada as bridges to a cheaper entry in the United States. Vehicle shipments affect German manufacturers to a greater extent. The group Volkswagen is stopping his deliveries in the United States and its shipments on a railroad from Mexico. Mercedes is considering reduce your offereliminating smaller models and, therefore, that report lower profit margin. BMW, for the moment, It seems that it will absorb tariffs. And Stellantis too is sending home to workers from and outside the United States to produce a lower amount of cars. An impossible response proposal To try to save the situation, the European Union has put on the table operate with a zero tariff for vehicles and industrial goods. In The world collect the words of Ursula von der LeyenPresident of the European Commission, who recalled that the proposition on vehicles was already made last February. In the press conference to present the measure, from the European Commission it has been stressed that they did not obtain an adequate response. And the same has happened now. Yesterday afternoon, Donald Trump left the cameras to threaten China with raising tariffs even more and pointing out that the European proposal does not convince him. For the president of the United States, it is not enough. “The EU has been very hard over the years. I always say that it was formed to harm the United States in commerce. That is why it formed (…) joined to create a monopoly situation, to create a unified force against the United States in trade. (…) we pay to protect them militarily and play it in commerce. So it is not a good combination,” The country. The problem for Europe is that The commercial deficit of the United States with Europe in the purchase and sale of cars is very high and from the US government they are not willing to accept that Europe compensates for part of these losses (and other products sold to the United States) with services. In spite of everything, the balance remains positive for Europe, as is checked in this graph of eldiario.es. According to Acea15% of vehicles exported by Europe are destined for the United States. However, the value is high because 22% of the money obtained from exports worldwide comes from the United States. Those 38,500 million euros contrast with the 7.7 billion euros that we import from the country. By units, Europe sent 749,170 light cars to the United States while we bought 164,857 vehicles. On average, a car sold to the United States costs around 51,400 euros. Back, each car sold by the United States to Europe costs about 46,800 euros. This explains that if the United States only wants a balanced trade balance between vehicle entry and exit is almost impossible to meet. The only proposal that came out yesterday from North America is that Europeans buy the energy produced there to compensate for the commercial deficit that the United States has in the purchase of goods. But, in addition, there are many reasons why Europe cannot match in sales the purchases that the United States makes of our cars. First of all because of a purely cultural problem, the United States does not manufacture cars that fit with European philosophy. In general, they manufacture cars of extremely large dimensions for European cities, with larger engines and gastons than Europeans. And not only that, the United States has encountered the problem that much of the manufacturing automobile industry has left the country to place in Mexico and Canada. Commercial treaties with these countries allow them to sell cars “to the American” producing them cheaper than within their borders. However, Europe has been finding a productive market for each car. The highest cost (but greater profit margin) are manufactured, above all, in Germany and France where the costs are higher. The little ones occur in Spain or in countries with lax commercial treaties such as Morocco or Türkiye. Only within its borders (Germany and Poland) distortions such as the United States and Canada are produced. The problem for the United States is that Europeans do manufacture cars that interest there, sending them from Europe or from Mexico and Canada, but they already manufacture cars that interest the Europeans themselves. The United States manufactures a type of vehicle that is not demanded in Europe and, in fact, brands such as Ford have been manufacturing vehicles that interest us locally manufacturing on our ground as the Ford Fiesta has beenthe focus, the puma or the kuga, among many others. In fact, Ford itself is clear that the place to produce the few Ford … Read more

Mrbeast has discovered a much more lucrative business than making videos on YouTube: Sell chocolate

by

Mrbeast became a Internet superstar globally Thanks to his video and challenges on YouTube. However, far from beating content creation, the youtuber has managed to transform its fame into A business empire diversified valued in billions of dollars. Ironically, the main engine of this empire is no longer the more than 377 million Mrbeast followers and its most crazy challenges: selling chocolate has been much more profitable. The teenager who became a millionaire playing. Jimmy Donaldson, the name behind Mrbeast, began his adventure on YouTube in 2012 with only 11 years. Like most kids of his age, his first videos showed him playing fashion video games: Call of Duty and Minecraft. For years, he analyzed what type of content he worked better on the platform, learning the secrets of the algorithm and how to capture the audience’s attention. YouTube was small. He cannot be denied that he knew how to find the correct key and turned what began as a hobby, into a lucrative business that It led him to leave the university to devote yourself completely to your career on YouTube. In recent years, their videos have almost become blockbusters with hundreds of millions of visualizations worldwide, with challenges as popular as the recreation of “The squid game “in real lifetheir experiences of survival in extreme situations or Your own program In Amazon Prime Video. Diversify the business. However, despite the fact that the YouTube channel continues to be a pillar in the Holding of Beast Industries companies that Donaldson has created, it is not, from afar, the most profitable. The conglomerate of MRBASET companies has Lunchly under its umbrella, a brand of snacks, ViewStats, a software company for content creators. However, the real Crown jewel It is feastable, its chocolate bars brand. Feastable: nobody bites a sweet. Mrbeast’s incursion into the chocolate world began in 2021 with the launch of feastable. The brand became popular immediately because youtuber and their adventure companions usually consume them in their videos, and have even turned their chocolates into the protagonist of some of them. To promote their chocolates, Mrbeast challenged his followers to find a golden ticket on their chocolate bars, and invited the winners to compete for a boat of $ 500,000 in cash in one of their videos, to the purest Willy Wonka style. This strategy, combined with the quality of Your chocolate barscatapulted feastable to sales success. The chocolate empire surpasses the media empire. According to published Bloombergdocuments sent to possible investors, feastable registered sales valued at 250 million dollars last year, with benefits that exceeded 20 million. In contrast, the media business of MRBAST, which includes its YouTube channel and its reality show for Prime Video, generated a similar sales volume, but recorded losses close to 80 million dollars. “I lost dozens of millions of dollars in Beast Games,” Donaldson confessed a few days ago In the podcast The Diary of A CEO. The food business ate YouTube. These figures published in Bloomberg’s article reveal that The chocolate business Mrbeast is currently more profitable than what the YouTuber generates with its videos. In fact, Beast Industries forecasts suggest that feastable will triple its size in the next two years. According to that data, last year, the United Arab Emirates investor Alpha Wave directed An investment round For Beast Industries, and valued Donaldson’s holding company in about 5,000 million dollarscompared to its last 2023 valuation that was 1.5 billion dollars. By 2026, the company of MR.BaAST estimates that the income from the business creation business will represent only a fifth of its total income.

Sell ​​green energy to AI

The purpose of the oil companies in the face of a future seemed In the case of the British oil company BP. However, there are many other ways to follow the green path, and the Italian eni is a clear example. Short. The Italian oil company ENI has created two businesses focused on green artificial intelligence and carbon dioxide emissions, according to He has reported Reuters. In this way, two other oil initiatives that are underway are added: Plenitude and Enilivethat focus on renewable and biofuel energies respectively. Business model diversification. In this way, ENI has estimated that the profitability of their “green” businesses will reach two-digit figures in the next five years, with a performance comparable to that of the traditional oil and gas sector (15%-16%), as collect the Financial Times. A large project. The Italian oil company has focused its strategy on the use of supercomputing and AI to develop sustainable solutions. From its center in North Italy, the company operates The HPC5 supercomputerthe most powerful in the energy sector, together with an energy plant and a carbon capture installation. The objective is to sell processing capacity to technological companies that need to train AI models, but using low emission energy, thus reducing the environmental impact of these operations. Be more sustainable. The oil company It is advancing in the carbon capture and storage initiative (CCS), having almost three gigatons of CO2 storage capacity. An example that he is walking towards that direction is his Hynet North West project in the United Kingdom, which seeks to capture industrial broadcasts and store them in the Ireland Sea. Another market to open. Together with the oil company Malaysia Petronas, both They are exploring A new opportunity in the gas market. In fact, they have planned to join their deposits to create a joint business capable of producing the equivalent of 500,000 barrels of oil per day in natural gas. This operation would represent approximately half of the current production of ENI gas and is designed to supply Asian markets, such as China and India, where the demand for gas It is still increasing.

The Xiaomi Su7 Ultra has unleashed madness by registering 7,000 reservations in 10 minutes. They planned to sell 10,000 units throughout 2025

by

Xiaomi aspires to sell 10,000 units of your Xiaomi Su7 Ultra. Those were the words of Lei Jun, CEO of the company, a few days ago in his account of the Chinese social network Weibo, as they collect in South China Morning Post. The announcement warmed a little more the event of yesterday, February 27, in which the company was expected to finally reveal all the details of its faster, powerful and radical electric car. The same as has broken the record in the green hell and in Three other circuits. Finally, and although it almost seemed that we already knew everything we could know in advance, Lei Jun in person was by disagreeing All the detailsone by one, what they have in hand. With direct references to Porsche and Tesla He told us that his electric car will be faster and more efficient than German and American models and, if that were not enough, he demonstrated some autonomous driving capabilities that seemed really advanced. And all this for a fraction of its price. Not just that. Also the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra was a car announced at an even cheaper price than expected. And the results did not wait. They wanted to produce 10,000 units … And everything indicates that they will have to expand (if they can) the plans. As we said, Lei Jun affirmed a few days ago that the company hoped to place this number in the market of its most expensive electric car. An electric car that will finally have the following prices: Xiaomi Su7 Ultra: 529,000 Chinese yuan (about 70,000 euros to direct change) Xiaomi Su7 Ultra with the Racing package: 629,000 Chinese yuan (about 83,200 euros to change) Xiaomi Su7 Ultra Nürburgring: 814,900 Chinese yuan (about 107,000 euros) It should be noted that The price of the base model is 34.97% lower to which the first reserves of the car opened when it was announced last October. Then all the characteristics were specified. To get these three versions, there are two ways. The first is to reserve the car for 20,000 Chinese yuan (about 2,700 euros) for seven days. At that time the client can back and guarantee the reimbursement. It is not guaranteed that you want to ensure one of the first units. In that case, the reserve is 40,000 Chinese yuan (about 5,400 euros) but will receive one of the units already manufactured. In addition, if you commission a unit before March 31, “you will be entitled to advantages worth up to 90,000 rmb (12,000 euros) “, in the words of the brand. These prices have led to reservations to shoot. In 10 minutes the company said that 6,900 reservations had already been registered, our colleagues collect Xiaomi world. This does not mean that there have been 7,000 sales but it is confirmed that almost 7,000 people are already thinking about it. The figure gives an idea of back towards the product and the good performance that Xiaomi is taking out at the price of its vehicles. In comparisons they put as a reference to Tesla Model S Plaid, a car that in China is sold for 814,900 Chinese yuan, the same price as the edition Nürburgringthe most radical and in two -seater format. And they were not cut when pointing out that their xiaomi su7 ultra, with the package Racing It already improves the figures of the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, a car knows for 1,998,000 Chinese yuan (263,046.69 euros). That is, three times more than the price of the “with chucheías” version of the Xiaomi Su7 Ultra.

How to “be more expensive” has become a claim to sell

by

Smartphones prices They have shot In the last three years, to the point that the mid -range It is close (or above) of 400 euros, the medium-high is around 700 euros, and the devices Flagship They touch the 1,500 euros. Figures that not all users are willing to assume. Given this reality, brands have adopted a paradoxical strategy: setting high initial prices and then compensating with aggressive offers. The problem arises when those “launch promotions” actually reveal the real price that the product should have had from the beginning. Xiaomi started the way. The price cycle of any product usually (or used) to be quite evident. A high initial starting price for the first remittances that, as the months passed, were decreasing either by official decrease of the PVP itself or by point offers. Xiaomi was a pioneer in popularizing the concept of Early Bird (or “presale offer”), with initially attractive prices that, over time, became the official PVP of the product. The logic is clear: to capture early sales, keep the price high for months and reactivate demand with discounts at the end of the device’s life cycle. The rest joined, differently. As the price of the devices has been increasing, manufacturers have been looking for alternatives to make their devices in the launch more attractive. Some did it imitating Xiaomi with lower launch prices, As Realme. Others (not a few), did it by giving it headphones or smart watches. And others, as an honor, through almost all possible options: charger gift, replacement service, cover and coupon of 300 euros. To the point of the absurd. In the mid -range it is perfectly understandable that, if a phone costs 350 euros, you can buy it on launch offer for 300. The point is that in a high -end the strategy is not so simple. Manufacturers, on the one hand, have the “obligation” to launch their products to a high PVP. It is a marketing strategy rather than a real price. If the reference mobiles cost 1,400 euros, yours “cannot” cost 900 euros, although that is really the PVP you want to sell it. This generates such curious situations as seeing a telephone of 1,300 euros with a discount coupon of 300 euros instead of launching it at the 1,000 euros that it really costs, or telephones such as the I live x200 prowhich came to the market at 1,299 euros and, just a week later, they “reduced” to 1,199 euros. There is no reduction, that is its real price. The consequences for users. This situation has led us to a market where official prices are, in many cases, a strategic fiction. The “offers” are not real discounts, but adjustments to achieve the value that the product should have from the beginning. For the consumer, this translates into an obligation to navigate between promotions and some artificial inflation, until finding the exact point in which he is making a purchase for the real value of the product. Solution? Never buy from PVP. Take advantage of the initial offers, wait a few weeks or observe the evolution of that starting price until it stabilizes in its royal strip is usually the best option.
