Chapter 297: Broken up on bad terms again
BYD was founded in 1995, and it is still a company that has been established for 19 years.
From the beginning of its establishment, Boatman Brother has always adhered to the development concept of 'technology is king, innovation is the basis', so this is why small domestic companies that were poor at the beginning and had backward technical reserves have slowly developed to what they are today. first-class large enterprise.
In the battery field, BYD has 100% independent research and development, design and production capabilities. Its product categories cover consumer 3C batteries, power batteries, solar cells, and energy storage batteries, forming a complete battery industry. chain.
In addition, BYD is also the largest lithium iron phosphate battery manufacturer in the world in terms of production capacity.
In the automotive field, BYD launched the world's first plug-in hybrid model in 2008. Subsequently, it launched a number of new energy models, which gained great recognition from the market. In April this year, BYD released its first plug-in hybrid model in the evening in Beijing. 542 high sex Performance model series, (5 represents 0-100 km/h acceleration within five seconds, 4 represents full-time electric four-wheel drive, instant response, precise power distribution, good control, high energy efficiency, improved control safety, 2 represents 100 kilometers Fuel consumption is less than 2 liters).
It can be said that BYD itself has a strong technical gene.
That’s why the boatman asked about technical matters first.
When Wang Donglai heard the boatman's question, he didn't feel unhappy. Instead, he admired the boatman even more.
In the past life, BYD swept all directions in the field of new energy vehicles, from the Dynasty series to the Ocean series. The cheapest car cost tens of thousands of yuan, had ridiculously low fuel consumption, and was equipped with high-end technologies such as Yunnan. Some also look up to U8 and other models.
It was also at this time that BYD completely got rid of its reputation as a garbage manufacturer in people's minds.
With this memory of the future, Wang Donglai also wants to see what kind of sparks will emerge if more advanced technologies and companies like BYD come together.
With so much on his mind, Wang Donglai didn’t show it at all on the surface.
“Since Mr. Wang is interested, let me explain one or two.”
“The new composite materials developed in our laboratory are much better than the original hollow carbon nanospheres and our The activated carbon nanospheres prepared by activation with potassium hydroxide have better performance under the same sulfur content. I believe Mr. Wang has seen this in the data.”
"In our company's experiments, we actually found many more interesting phenomena. For example, the sulfur ions in the hollow carbon spheres are released from the surface of the hollow carbon spheres. They are not disordered and hindered like those previous materials. In contrast to normal electrochemical reactions, the new material behaves in these respects. The electrochemical cycle efficiency has become higher and more effective. "
"According to mainstream experiments, long-chain molecules greatly affect battery efficiency and are the biggest cause of the shuttle effect. Many experiments have shown that long-chain molecules greatly affect battery efficiency. Everyone is trying their best to reduce or eliminate this kind of elements, but This has always existed in theory, but has never been truly realized.”
“However, our company’s laboratory has done this, reducing this substance from the source of the long-chain molecule generation mechanism. The effect is naturally huge.”
“…”
“Although there are still many experimental tests that have not been done, judging from the current data such as volume energy density and energy mass density, it is made using the material developed in our laboratory. The battery performance has reached a new level.”
"I can say without exaggeration that this battery will cause a large-scale dimensionality reduction blow to the battery field on the market!"
Wang Donglai introduced calmly, but there was a trace of emotion in his tone. The pride was beyond obvious.
Brother Boatman didn’t feel uncomfortable because of Wang Donglai’s words, even if Wang Donglai included BYD.
“Professor Wang, who is also a researcher, must also know that once a technology is developed, it may not be widely used. It needs market acceptance and low enough cost. "
"Currently, this technology is only being developed in the laboratory and may not be widely used in the market. What do you think about this, Mr. Wang?"
"You know, sometimes it doesn't take good technology to really capture the market!"
The boatman pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his tone was calm, but he pointed to the key point.
“Well, let’s call this material Xirang No. 1. The cost of this material is not high. According to the estimation of our company’s laboratory personnel, adjusting the existing production line will cost at most In just three months, the production line adjustment can be completed and lithium-sulfur batteries made of this material can be mass-produced! ”
< br>Wang Donglai sat upright slightly, and his whole aura suddenly became a little fierce. He looked at the boatman and asked: "Now, the initiative is in Mr. Wang's hands. I have already made my conditions. What does Mr. Wang think? What?”
“By the way, Mr. Zeng from CATL has just chosen to leave!”
Hearing this, Brother Boatman's eyes moved and he said: "To be honest, I didn't understand the three plans you gave. Can Mr. Wang explain it in detail!"
Brother Boatman did not understand the three plans you gave. Instead of rushing to make a decision, he asked the doubts in his heart.
Wang Donglai did not answer immediately and glanced at the relevant BYD personnel sitting aside.
Seeing this, the boatman waved his hand, and these people retreated quietly.
It wasn’t until Wang Donglai, Boatman Brother and Xu Songyao were the only ones left in the reception room that Wang Donglai said: “Mr. Wang, the first and second plans are actually very simple, they are just to collect patent licensing fees. , for money.”
"Of course, if Mr. Wang is willing to spend money, I can make the decision and sell this technology patent directly to your company, but the price may need to be raised a bit."
Boatman said without hesitation: "Mr. Wang, let's talk about what the third plan means. I'm more curious about this!"
I don't know why, among the three plans, the boatman always feels that the third plan is the best. Wang Donglai’s real thoughts. The first and second options are completely unlike what a qualified company founder or a researcher who can make so many academic achievements can do.
Brother Boatman doesn’t think Wang Donglai doesn’t know the value of lithium-sulfur batteries in the new energy era.
It is exactly like a hen that lays a golden egg. As long as you hold it firmly in your hand, you will have countless wealth.
When new battery technology breaks through, when will it be the end?
With the current progress in the laboratory, it may take many years for a breakthrough.
To be honest, Brother Boatman is still a little unbelievable. Is the lithium-sulfur battery such a breakthrough?
It’s like a dream!
But when the exact experimental data was placed in front of him, he couldn't help but not believe it.
Wang Donglai didn’t care about the boatman’s inner thoughts. When he heard the boatman asked about the third plan, he smiled and said: “Before explaining the third plan, I have a few questions to think about. I want to ask Mr. Wang, can Mr. Wang give me an answer? "
The boatman didn't hesitate and nodded immediately in agreement.
“Mr. Wang, what level do you think domestic new energy vehicles will reach?”
The first question made Boatman stunned. He didn’t expect Wang Donglai to ask. Such questions.
However, Brother Boatman was not stumped. He just pondered for a moment and said: "I think domestically produced cars will completely replace foreign brand car companies!"
"And the penetration rate of new energy vehicles is also It will reach about 95%, and gasoline vehicles will gradually be discontinued, with only a few Gasoline vehicles are still available in some areas, and most areas will become new energy vehicles."
After Brother Boatman finished his answer, he thought Wang Donglai would ask him why he made this guess, and he organized it in his mind. The language was good, but unexpectedly Wang Donglai didn't ask at all.
"Mr. Wang, how much do you think this technology is worth?" Wang Donglai asked.
After pondering for a while, Brother Boatman gave his answer and said: "To be fair, technology cannot be measured by price, but from the perspective of the market it affects, I think five billion is not Not much!”
"Lithium-sulfur batteries are at this price, but what about solid-state batteries? What about graphene batteries?" Wang Donglai asked again.
Brother Boatman did not give an exact numerical valuation this time, but said: "The value of these technologies needs to be estimated based on the market at that time and the research progress of other researchers. I cannot make a decision now. Judgment."
Wang Donglai showed a smile on his face and said without asking any more: "Mr. Wang just asked what the third option meant. It's actually very simple. I think. Cooperate with major domestic companies to jointly promote the development of new energy vehicles in the country.”
“For example, we use patent authorization as a condition for cooperation, and each manufacturer must also come up with corresponding conditions, such as The choice of factory location, such as the direction of technological development, and the unification of technical standards.”
Hearing Wang Donglai’s words, Brother Boatman immediately laughed.
"Professor Wang, are you kidding me?"
"No one will agree to this condition!"
The boatman said in a very shameless manner.
Wang Donglai was not angry and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, I have already laid out the conditions. Whether you choose to cooperate or not is your company's decision."
"However, I can be friendly A reminder to Mr. Wang, our company is not only researching lithium-sulfur batteries, but also solid-state battery projects for a long time.”
After saying this, Wang Donglai said nothing more.
Boatman's expression also became calmer, he took a deep look at Wang Donglai, and reminded him: "Professor Wang, Professor Christopher from Massachusetts has also made materials to solve the shuttle effect, lithium-sulfur batteries. Your company is not alone in achieving the breakthrough.”
“The longer we delay, the more likely we are to achieve it. The more teams will make breakthroughs, by then, this technology may not be so valuable!”
In response to Brother Boatman’s reminder, Wang Donglai smiled confidently and said, “Mr. Wang, you reminded me! Received."
Seeing this, the boatman frowned and left the reception room without saying any more.
At this point, both companies parted ways with Wang Donglai on bad terms!
Wang Donglai was not worried at all about this, because he knew that they would come back soon, and at that time, they would agree to the conditions he proposed without hesitation.
The reason why he has such confidence is because...
