Richard business logic is set to auto and IT hardware and software, to build a new business empire. He believes that IT has gone beyond the scope of social networking and search engines, 'hardware and software is the future IT industry, especially mobile services, such as cloud computing.'
As a new attempt by the car's new energy auto companies pay more attention to intelligence technology, the electric car industry leader Tesla plans within three years to build a 'autopilot car', Henrik Fisker has tried to co-operate and telecommunications companies when in charge of Fisker. Fisker Fisker became the meat and potatoes in 2007 was established by the program because "tales of vesperia cosplay " the hybrid electric vehicle product positioning smash hit last spring to assess their assets before the onset of the debt crisis, up to $ 2.2 billion.

Soon, Fisker announced that the US Department of Energy's inability to repay the loan, the government sent a team to take over the Fisker company restructuring proposal. However, China's auto companies are dying of this family company is full of interest, there have been Geely Automobile [microblogging], Dongfeng Motor Group, Beijing Automotive Group, Wanxiang Group sent a team to the United States Fisker investigation, bid evaluation. However, in the course of the first three in contact has quit, Universal Group VL GTA Motors Corp. and American companies reached the final.
October 11 auction will be held on the eve of the US Department of Energy, Ni Pin Wanxiang Group, general manager of US companies are still quite confident, he said: 'We did not change the position of Fisk.' But Richard joined changed Ni Pin vision It tracks. Back in May of this year, was forced to flee Henrik Fisker made contact with Richard, expressed the hope that the company's willingness to re-charge Fisker. Fisker deliberate move, Richard funded, but also for Fisker Automotive has long been concerned, already is its investors and shareholders. Richard took his private investment firm Pacific Century, the company's investment team Fisker Automotive was more detailed investigation, with its own advantages fully overshadowed the other competitors. A learned Fisk debt auction condition auto analyst, said: 'Richard did not give other bidders the opportunity to offer high into other bidders can not accept.' October 14, the newspaper reporter called the relevant departments Richard Li Hong Kong , but did not get the information of the purchase price and acquisition-related issues.

To the next big chess? Fisker in April 2011 launched the first product Karma can travel 80 kilometers in pure electric drive, followed by relying on hybrid can travel 403 kilometers, 100 kilometers acceleration time of 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 201 km / h. However, the core technology is only that Fisker bodywork, chassis, hybrid control system, control system, the core technology from the quantum technology partner company, Fisker only use rights. It has also become an important reason for a lot of negotiation by the final withdrawal. However, capital operation known 'Little Superman' Richard Li, the business logic behind it there: Richard campaign in the communications industry for many years, which can be used to master the IT, communications technology and resources to enter the automotive electronics and intelligent, but also find a new way for the IT industry.
According to the relevant information display, Li's PCCW and telecommunications, the main business of Hong Kong to provide local, mobile and international telecommunications services, Internet access services, interactive multimedia and pay television services, sale and rental of telecommunications equipment, as well as the provision of computer, engineering and other technical services, investment and development system integration, network engineering and technology-related businesses.

In the new car networking thinking opinion, the mobile Internet, including things automotive, sensors, cloud computing, cosplay costumes for sale big data, we need a traditional car manufacturers and other technology owners were defragmentation. Car of the future will have to enter two phases: between the car and the vehicle autopilot 'talk' data transmission.
