Chapter 294 Laying out lithium batteries, the global battery dominance begins to rise
“Director, is this our factory’s brand new product after the BMW 125?”
“It looks a bit crude.”< br>
After Jiang Hui and Qin Hao reported the relevant plans, they also officially launched the "Electric Chicken" project within the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory.
Considering that in the early stages of the development of electric bicycles, consumers were generally those who could not afford motorcycles, so the price naturally could not be very high.
Therefore, it is definitely not advisable to design electric bicycles to be the same as motorcycles.
The electric bicycle solution that Jiang Hui is now putting forward is more like adding electric drive-related parts to the bicycle.
At first glance, it looks quite similar to a bicycle.
Of course, it must not be too similar, otherwise the sense of superiority that people have when buying electric bicycles will not be reflected.
“I plan to set the sales price of this electric bicycle at 998 yuan. The design of various parts will definitely not be like the BMW S.”
"I have simplified everything that can be simplified."
"It will become China's first electric bicycle."
After Jiang Hui said this, Li Zifu still felt a little uncomfortable. So understanding.
But the boss has spoken. Even if you don’t understand, you have to do it seriously.
"Director, if we follow this design plan, other bicycle factories will soon be able to produce their own electric bicycles if they want to learn from it."
"Anyway, as long as you directly use the car's battery, add a motor, and make some other changes, you can almost make an electric bicycle."
"The market competition may be fierce by then. ”
Li Zifu’s worry is quite reasonable.
The popularity of domestic bicycle brands such as Phoenix and Forever is no lower than that of BMW motorcycles.
“The structure of an electric bicycle looks very simple, but it is not easy at all to make it well.”
"I am going to assist BMW Technology in acquiring the Peking Battery Factory. By then, the batteries for our electric bicycle products will be purchased from the Peiping Battery Factory."
"In terms of motors, BMW Technology is also preparing to set up BMW Motors to specialize in the research and development of related products. Product.”
It doesn’t matter if you don’t explain it, but if the people below can understand your ideas, things will move faster.
So Jiang Hui patiently communicated with Li Zifu.
"Director, our BMW 125 is preparing to take the high-end route. By then our BMW motorcycles will also be synonymous with high-end motorcycles."
"If this is because BMW's electric bicycles have ruined the reputation, isn't it a bit worth the loss?"
Li Zifu has been in contact with Jiang Hui for two years, and he has a relatively deep understanding of the factory director's character. , knowing that when working, no matter what suggestions are made, he will not have any objection.
I won’t put too many shoes on you in future work.
So this time Jiang Hui wanted to produce an electric bicycle, and it was an electric bicycle that looked a bit crude. He directly exhibited it and objected.
"What you said does make sense, but bicycles can actually be made very high-end. In the future, we can also make BMW bicycles that cost thousands of dollars each, or even tens of thousands of dollars each."
Jiang Hui said so, and Li Zifu had no choice but to implement it properly.
......
Qin Hao moved very quickly. The result of BMW Technology's acquisition of the Peking Battery Factory was completed in less than half a month.
Because this time it is not a joint venture, but a direct acquisition.
In order to better manage the Peking Battery Factory, Fang Huihui took several employees from the port city and accompanied Jiang Hui to take over.
Because all the conditions have been made clear to the workers during the early negotiations.
Those who are willing to stay at the Peiping Battery Factory will receive a 30% salary increase, and will also have the opportunity to go to Hong Kong City for training in the next step.
As for those who are unwilling to stay, the First Machinery Department will arrange for them to work in other factories.
Coupled with the fact that Fang Huihui brought an order for electric bicycles from the Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory, the capacity utilization rate of the Peiping Battery Factory is expected to quickly return to more than half.
In this way, the factory will not close down.
"Consultant Jiang, our factory will also study lithium batteries in the future?"
Zeng Minqun is the chief engineer of the Peiping Battery Factory. He has high technical ability, but he only understands technology and knows nothing about various management techniques.
And many times in order to pursue better technology, we don’t care much about the increase in costs.
To a certain extent, he also has a certain responsibility for the Peking Battery Factory being acquired by foreign capital.
If this kind of person were replaced by someone from the Peiping Battery Factory to acquire the factory, Zeng Minqun would probably be fired.
But for Jiang Hui, he really felt that the factory was lacking talents like Zeng Minqun who were focused on technology.
As for management matters, they don’t need to worry about it at all. So as soon as he came up, he held a meeting with Zeng Minqun and other technical experts to set the next technical research direction.
Electric bicycle batteries and car batteries must continue to be studied. There is still a big gap in the current technology.
But lithium batteries, a product that represents the future development trend of the battery industry, must not be left behind.
"Yes, lithium iron phosphate batteries and ternary lithium batteries are our key research directions in the future."
"You make a list of the missing equipment and instruments, and we will try our best to find ways for BMW Technology to purchase them. . ”
“Those researchers in China are more proficient in lithium battery research. We can find ways to cooperate with them, or see if we can recruit them.”
“No matter what happens in the future. Whether it is used in electric bicycles or in electronic appliances, there must be a bright future.”
Jiang Hui is absolutely determined to develop lithium batteries.
It’s not too late to start researching this thing now.
Maybe we can seize many technology patents.
At critical moments, I will step in to encourage others and let everyone know more about the research prospects of lithium batteries.
For some technical talents, they are willing to switch jobs only if the Peking Battery Factory has forward-looking research and development results in lithium battery technology.
Otherwise, under the special background of this era, it would be extremely difficult for a foreign-funded company to recruit people.
Especially if the key talents of some research institutions are to be poached, it will be even more difficult.
“No problem, I will implement it right away.”
Zeng Minqun was originally worried that after the factory was acquired by a Hong Kong company, he would be kicked out and would be unable to continue his previous research.
I didn’t expect that the situation was completely different from what I thought.
Not only was he not kicked out, he seemed to have a brighter future.
A soldier dies for his confidant. For a moment, he has the idea of working hard for the new Peking Battery Factory for the rest of his life.
......
"Xiaojiang, lithium batteries are a relatively cutting-edge technology. Maybe teachers from some universities will do more in-depth research in this area than various battery factories."
“If you are really optimistic about this field, I think you should not be afraid of spending money this time.”
“Anyway, BMW Technology has shared a lot of profits in the joint venture of Chaoyang Motorcycle Manufacturing Factory. , it is absolutely very difficult to convert this money into foreign exchange.”
"But take them out and cooperate with some domestic universities and research institutes. You provide funds, and the other party provides manpower. The final honor goes to the other party, and the actual technology and patents belong to the Beiping Battery Factory. I think it is a good plan."
After Zhu Jiansheng learned that BMW Technology had successfully acquired the Peking Battery Factory, he immediately took the time to discuss its development direction with Jiang Hui.
Both Humvee military vehicles and intercontinental missile launch vehicles require batteries. Zhu Jiansheng will definitely find a way to provide these orders to the Peiping Battery Factory.
But this is certainly not enough.
In particular, Jiang Hui hopes to enter the lithium battery industry. Zhu Jiansheng does not know much specific information about this area, but as long as he inquires with other teachers in the school, he will know that the lithium battery industry wants to make some achievements. Coming out is not that easy.
Especially when the United States and Japan have already made great achievements, it will be even more difficult for the Peking Battery Factory to stand out.
“This is indeed a very good plan, but if there is a chance, I would like to recruit these research talents directly.”
“Five hundred yuan a month is not enough. , I will pay 1,000 yuan. If 1,000 yuan is not enough, I will pay 2,000 yuan until the other party is satisfied.” . ”
To Jiang Hui, money is sometimes just like a number.
What he pursues is not the money itself, but the industrial development and various invisible influences behind it.
“This is indeed a method, but it is best to combine it with the construction of family buildings.”
“Nowadays, even university professors have very poor accommodation conditions. Average. ”
“If after leaving school and going to the Peiping Battery Factory, not only can the salary increase significantly, but also the accommodation problem can be solved, more people will be interested. ”
Zhu Jiansheng knows very well the situation and thoughts of university teachers in this era.
If you want to convince these ambitious people, you need to take the right medicine.
Technology cannot be less attractive, and materials must not fall behind either.
Otherwise, even if these talents switch jobs to the Peiping Battery Factory, they will be poached by foreign companies sooner or later.
Compared with the treatment in the United States and Japan, the salary offered by BMW Technology to these people at the Peking Battery Factory is completely unattractive.
“No problem, the family building at the Chaoyang Motorcycle Factory is almost finished, and then we will go to the Peking Battery Factory to continue the construction.”
"As long as money can solve the problem, it is not a big problem for us."
