Rebirth Starts From 2006

"What?"

Chen Yang was stunned when he heard this, "Isn't Future Era specialized in making power batteries? Why are we making mobile phone batteries again?"

If I want to make a mobile phone battery, do I have to spend one billion to invest in Zeng Yuqun?

Huizhou's Desai, deep formation Biati, Scud, which one I can't vote for!

"Uh, don't be impatient for a moment,"

Huang Shan made a gesture, picked up the briefcase at her feet, took out her iPad, spent less than a minute pulling out the information, and said without raising her head,

"Mr. Zeng has communicated with me. What he means is to first build a few battery production lines, and then sell mobile phone batteries with mature technology while conducting research and development of power batteries. This can reduce the amount of pure capital investment and promote the development of power batteries." The company will enter normal operation as soon as possible.

After the results of power battery research and development are released, these production lines can be seamlessly converted to the production of power batteries.

Because essentially speaking, power batteries and mobile phone batteries are both lithium-ion batteries, secondary batteries, and their working principles are basically similar.

However, in terms of battery energy, discharge capacity and battery life, power batteries are not products of the same order of magnitude as mobile phone batteries.

And in fact, the function of a mobile phone battery is actually equivalent to the function of a single cell in a car power battery. It is the smallest electrical energy storage component.

It can also be considered that the power battery of a car is a battery system that installs, places and manages the operation of hundreds or thousands of individual cells.

Automotive power batteries must not only control charge and discharge, but also ensure that each single cell in the battery pack is in a reasonable working condition and maximize the cycle life of the battery.

In addition to the difference in volume between the two, there are also a series of problems caused by changes in volume.

Such as organizational form, working environment, safety requirements and process requirements,...

Hey, hey, what are you doing? ! "

Chen Yang snatched the iPad away and said without looking back, "Your dialogue skills are too poor and you have no emotion at all. I'd better watch it myself!"

Huang Shan's face fell, she pouted and became silent.

Chen Yang watched for a few minutes and said thoughtfully, "So, now Mr. Zeng's team does not have commercially available power battery technology, but wants to research new technologies?"

He always thought that domestic power batteries started from the Ningde era, but it turned out not to be the case!

As early as 1994, Geely's Lao Li was still tinkering with China's first pedal motorcycle, and BYD was still busy registering the company.

However, the state-owned Victory Bus Factory in the Netherlands, the Westinghouse Company of the United States, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and Beijing Institute of Technology have jointly developed and produced China's first new energy vehicle, the 12-meter-long "Yuanwang" "Pure electric bus,

Although the battery pack is imported from foreign countries, the power battery technology is developed by them themselves. It can be said to be my country's earliest power battery technology reserve.

Damn it, that was 1994!

The world recognized as the first modern electric car, GM ev1, was born two years later.

The Toyota Prius hybrid car was the first to use high-power nickel-metal hydride batteries. It was first launched in Japan in 1997. It took two thousand years for it to leave Japan and enter overseas markets.

Although the "Yuanwang" was subject to price, market and other factors and was not successfully launched on the market, it provided technical reserves for my country's new energy vehicle research and development, one of which is power battery technology.

As for the state-owned Shengli Automobile Factory that developed the "Yuanwang", after several twists and turns, it also became a part of Changan Automobile in the Netherlands, and transformed into Baoding Changan Bus Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in 2005.

In addition to Shengli Automobile Factory, my country's first series hybrid bus developed by Zhongtong Bus played an important transportation role at the just-concluded Beijin Olympics.

In this way, it is not too late for my country’s new energy vehicles to start!

The key technology, power battery, has already had relevant technical reserves. However, due to the low popularity of new energy vehicles, it is difficult for laymen to find out such news.

After hearing what Boss Chen said, Huang Shan thought for a while and said, "From what Mr. Zeng said, the original technology seems a bit backward and not enough to compete with Japanese and Korean counterparts led by Panasonic and LG. The most sensible approach is to get rid of the original technology." Technical system, develop more advantageous products,

This advantage is not only reflected in the battery itself, but also in the manufacturing process and battery control system.

In particular, our goal is to enter the most advanced electric vehicle supply chain, and we must come up with technologies that have certain advantages, at least not weaker than those of Panasonic and LG, in order to have a competitive advantage.

Otherwise, even if our products can be installed in Tesla's battery boxes, they will not occupy too much share and will have more symbolic meaning. That is a situation that none of us want to see.

It is based on this that I agree with Mr. Zeng’s opinion. "

Chen Yang pursed his lips, looked at her and asked, "I'm a little curious. It's been fourteen years since 1994. Hasn't domestic power battery technology made any progress in the past fourteen years?"

Huang Shan shrugged and said, "I have also discussed this issue with Mr. Zeng. How should I put it?"

She looked at Chen Yang and shrugged helplessly, "Domestic companies rarely decide the direction of research and development independently. They basically follow the trend of their foreign counterparts. We learn what they study.

In the past ten years, first the murder of GM ev1, and then the difficult promotion of Toyota Prius, and the high uncertainty of the new energy vehicle market have made almost all companies afraid to invest in this field.

It was not until around 2006 that European and American countries formulated policies to support new energy vehicles that many companies increased investment in this field.

Moreover, despite the policy support from the government, they still have doubts about the new energy vehicle market. Therefore, they have focused on the core power battery of new energy vehicles, especially lithium batteries.

Their entry has also made the technology of lithium batteries develop faster than before.

For example, battery technology in the past was mainly based on nickel metal hydride and lithium manganate, but now the research direction is ternary lithium, lithium iron phosphate and lithium cobalt oxide. Times Future Company also focuses on these three directions.

This is the current state of the industry! "

After hearing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

Domestic companies are following the trend, not just in the battery field. In almost all walks of life, they are following their foreign counterparts, and they are always in the toddler stage.

Under such circumstances, being able to compete with peers in the international arena would be considered a ghost.

That is to say, a few years later, a wave of entrepreneurship and innovation started in China. After many years of hard work, we took advantage of the opportunities arising from the rise of emerging industries such as mobile Internet, artificial intelligence, and new energy to significantly shorten the distance between us, even in some aspects. Also completed corner overtaking.

Reality is like this, what can he do? !

After Huang Shan said what she just said, she tilted her head and looked at Chen Yang, and said with a smile, "I have to praise you, boss, you have a very accurate vision. Investing in power battery projects at this time, even if you are deeply involved in this industry." A veteran, I also feel that neither too early nor too late is just right, you pinched it very accurately at this time!"

Boss Chen grinned, "That's right, Honggu Investment is a good example!"

He casually handed the iPad back to her, squinting his eyes thoughtfully.

The car was still moving forward slowly, and unknowingly it reached the end of the Industrial City. Shen Youshun turned the steering wheel and turned onto another road.

Cai Yaping blinked in confusion. Should I continue the introduction at this time, or should I remain silent?

Fortunately, Huang Shan turned around and smiled, "Mr. Cai, continue."

When she first followed Chen Yang, when she encountered this situation, she was afraid of disturbing the boss's train of thought. Later she found out that Boss Chen had at least three minds. Thinking is just thinking, and it doesn't affect you talking to him at all. Sometimes, even He can also get some inspiration from your speech on the issues he thinks about.

Maybe this is what makes him different from ordinary people.

"Oh well,"

Cai Yaping quickly took a deep breath, gathered her thoughts, and continued what she just said,

"Compared with the Damai Science City factory area, the Damai factory area here is twice as large, with a full area of ​​400 acres, then Hanabi and Future Era are 300 acres, Dajiang is 200 acres, and the other comprehensive factories together occupy 1,000 acres mu,

Including roads, greening and other public areas, the factory area occupies an area of ​​2,500 acres, which is more than half of the entire future industrial new city. The rest is the business district and logistics park.

However, no matter which area it is, only the first phase of construction has been completed, which is all the factory areas of Damai, Hanabi, Oe and Future Times, one-third of the comprehensive factory area, one-third of the business area, and the logistics area a quarter of

Basically they are on both sides of our route. "

At this point, she paused for a moment, and seeing that neither Chen Yang nor Huang Shan expressed any reaction, she continued,

"The direction we are heading now is the logistics park. The logistics park covers an area of ​​600 acres. It is the largest single project in the entire industrial city. It is planned to build 100 large warehouses, which can easily accommodate the entry and exit of large container trucks.

It is equipped with the most advanced logistics management system in the world and can operate around the clock. "

At this moment, Chen Yang suddenly raised his head, turned to look at her and asked, "Has the later planning for the future industrial new city been finalized?"

"Uh, yes,"

Cai Yaping immediately said, "While the first phase is put into operation, we will start the construction of the second phase simultaneously. We plan to complete the overall construction work of the entire 4,000 acres within one year.

We will then negotiate with the city government based on this year's operating results to obtain more agreed land to prepare for the future expansion of the Industrial City. "

If the new industrial city operates well in the future, the company will definitely not be satisfied with the current area of ​​4,000 acres, but will expand to the periphery.

What's more, after this new industrial city is built, the surrounding land will definitely appreciate significantly in value. Once they get the land in their hands, even if they don't develop it but resell it directly, they can still make a lot of money.

There is money right under your nose, if you don’t pick it up, you will lose it!

"Well,"

Chen Yang pondered for two seconds and asked, "Where do the funds for the construction of the industrial city come from?"

Cai Yaping said, "All of them are low-interest loans. Since the city government approved a special loan amount of 300 billion at the beginning, this project has not spent our own money from the beginning. loan construction,

Moreover, only more than 30 billion has been spent on this quota so far, and there is still a lot of room for use. "

At this time, Huang Shan explained on the side, "The 300 billion loans approved by the city government at that time were not all used for the construction of the industrial city, but also included the capital needs of enterprises moving into the industrial city. They were only used for production and operation, and were not allowed to be used. For other investments, etc.

For example, this time, the loan line was also used for the purchase of production equipment by several companies such as Damai and Huahuo. "

Chen Yang nodded to express his understanding.

Then he said, "Don't wait for a year. Find an opportunity in the next few days and go directly to talk to the city government. You can get as much land as you want. Just ask me for more. If you can, I can get one hundred thousand." Mom, I’ll give you great credit!”

One hundred thousand acres?

Sixty-six point six sixty-six square kilometers?

This is larger than the land area of ​​many small countries, right?

Besides, this economic development zone is only over 80 square kilometers in total. You can take away more than half of it if you open your mouth. Why, you want to turn the eastern suburbs economic development zone into a new industrial city of the future? !

It really comes as soon as you open your mouth!

Huang Shan glared at him angrily, turned to Cai Yaping, who was in a daze, and said, "Let's first negotiate based on the minimum standard of 10,000 acres. With the foundation of these current companies, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Then he looked at Chen Yang, "Don't even think about 100,000 acres. Don't say it's impossible for the city government to approve it. Even if they do approve it, what can we use to fill in the project? Is it possible to build a supporting forest park for the industrial city? ?!”

Chen Yang grinned and said, "Hey, don't tell me, if I can really get 100,000 acres of land, I really have a way to fill it up!"

Huang Shan's face changed slightly, "What other crazy idea did you come up with?"

The familiar feeling comes again. Every time Boss Chen has a new project, he looks as confident as he does now.

But we didn't say anything else just now. What kind of evil did he get into?

Faced with Huang Shan's question, Chen Yang did not answer. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, "Hey, Mr. Shan, I remember that you seem to have a master's degree, right?"

"Well, yes,"

Huang Shan nodded and looked at him strangely, "Why are you asking this? Why? You dislike my low academic qualifications and want to send me to study for a doctorate?"

It sounds like Boss Chen's academic qualifications are even lower. She graduated from a third-rate undergraduate college. How can she have the confidence to laugh at her master's degree? !

As a result, Boss Chen chuckled and said to her, "Don't tell me, I really have this idea. I have a doctorate in economics from one of the most awesome universities in the country. It's not an insult to you!"

Under Huang Shan's surprised gaze, Chen Yang continued with a smile, "I have already thought of a mentor, so I asked Professor Liu. He has a deep research foundation in the Internet industry and industrial development in the new era.

It just so happened that I also enrolled in his graduate program, and we became classmates. Then we collaborated on the graduation thesis. I would choose the topic and you would write the thesis. How about we succeed together and fly together? "
