Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

After returning to Yuecheng, Hao Qiang frequently participated in seminars on new energy vehicle policies.

At present, the industrial sector is formulating a "Plan on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of Strategic Emerging Industries", which is expected to list new energy vehicles as one of the seven strategic emerging industries.

In the previous life, this program was implemented in June 2010.

In January 2009, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly launched the "Demonstration, Promotion and Application Project of Thousands of Energy-Saving and New Energy Vehicles in Ten Cities", which was the first policy in China to promote new energy vehicles on a large scale.

Today, the advent of Future Technology Group's high-performance lithium batteries has accelerated the progress of these two policies.

Hao Qiang put forward many pertinent suggestions and significantly raised the threshold for subsidies for new energy vehicles.

For example, in 2010 in the previous life, the country decided to officially launch a pilot program of subsidies for private purchases of new energy vehicles in Shanghai, Changchun, Pengcheng, Hangcheng and Feishi.

The subsidy standards at the time were relatively low: 3000 yuan per kilowatt-hour, with a maximum subsidy of 5 yuan for each plug-in hybrid vehicle and a maximum subsidy of 6 yuan for pure electric vehicles.

The subsidy funds are directly allocated to automobile manufacturers, and the manufacturers sell new energy vehicles to private users or leasing companies at prices after deducting the subsidies.

In addition, the subsidy standard will be reduced after each company's subsidies reach 5 vehicles.

This means that as long as a pure electric new energy vehicle has a battery capacity of 20 kWh, it can receive a subsidy of up to 6 yuan. This standard is obviously too low, which has led some car companies to cheat on subsidies.

In fact, the battery capacity of pure electric new energy vehicles with a range of more than 500 kilometers is usually between 50-60 kWh.

Based on these historical experiences and current situations, Hao Qiang suggested significantly raising the subsidy threshold to promote the healthy development of the new energy vehicle industry and avoid repeating the same mistakes.

After hearing Hao Qiang's suggestions, the leaders and experts who attended the seminar felt that his considerations were more thoughtful and respected his opinions very much.

After all, Hao Qiang's identity and status are different.

If it were an ordinary person, even if his suggestions were good, people might not necessarily listen to him.

This is the truth that people of low status speak with insignificance.

At 3:00 PM on August 20th,

Hao Qiang met with Wang Chuanfu, the founder and chairman of BYD, at the company.

On Friday, Hao Qiang received a visiting letter and was somewhat surprised by Wang Chuanfu's request for a visit.

He respected Wang Chuanfu, so he agreed to the meeting, but that didn't mean he would definitely cooperate with Bia Di.

If it is not beneficial to you, even if the world's richest man comes, it will not help.

Looking back at BYD's past development, in 2003, BYD acquired Qinchuan Automobile and officially entered the automobile manufacturing industry. Especially after its listing last year, BYD has strong capital.

In 2006, BYD began to develop electric vehicle technology.

In 2007, F3 sales reached 100,000 units, with the best model priced at less than 100,000 yuan.

In 2008, BYD launched the world's first mass-produced plug-in hybrid model F3DM.

This was followed by the launch of the first pure electric vehicle, the e6, in 2009.

Before this, their company's main business was the production of secondary rechargeable batteries and mobile phone components.

Hao Qiang estimated that the large investment from Future Technology Group might have disrupted Biyadi's plans.

Wang Chuanfu is just 40 years old this year. His net worth was several billion yuan last year and was expected to reach 10 billion yuan this year.

However, after Future Technology Group developed high-performance lithium batteries and announced its entry into the new energy vehicle industry, BYD's stock price suffered a heavy blow.

What worries Qing Wang Chuanfu even more is another matter.

BYD began developing lithium iron phosphate battery technology as early as 2004, but it was not until 2008 that it applied its independently developed lithium iron phosphate battery in the plug-in hybrid vehicle F3DM.

Although they have currently developed lithium iron phosphate batteries with good performance, they are still not comparable to the products of Future Technology Group, and the latter's technology cleverly avoids the scope of BYD's patent coverage.

This means that in the field of high-performance lithium iron phosphate battery technology patents, BYD has been taken over by Future Technology Group.

As for ternary lithium battery technology, BYD has not yet entered this field, and considering the current situation, the possibility of entering this field is very slim.

This series of changes not only affected BYD's market position, but also brought tremendous pressure to Wang Chuanfu, prompting him to seek a meeting with Hao Qiang to discuss future development strategies.

One is to purchase high-performance ternary lithium batteries, and the other is to purchase technical licenses for lithium iron phosphate in order to continue research and development and production.

If Hao Qiang wants to monopolize domestic lithium batteries and new energy vehicles, the future of BYD will be very bad.

When Wang Chuanfu saw Hao Qiang, he smiled warmly, extended his right hand and said enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Hao, I have heard a lot about you."

Although he knew Hao Qiang's age beforehand, he was still a little surprised when he saw him in person, and sighed in his heart: He is really young and promising.

Hao Qiang politely shook Wang Chuanfu's hand and responded with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Wang, nice to meet you!"

After the two sat down, Wang Chuanfu first praised the achievements of Future Technology Group, and Hao Qiang also politely praised BYD's contributions.

After the pleasantries, Wang Chuanfu got straight to the point and stated his position:

“The domestic auto market has huge potential, and we sincerely hope that Future Technology Group can join this market as soon as possible.

Only by working together can we jointly resist the strong offensive of overseas brands." Wang Chuanfu's tone was sincere, fearing that Hao Qiang would misunderstand his intentions.

After hearing this, Hao Qiang agreed deeply: "Mr. Wang is right. If domestically produced cars want to rise, they must unite and fight together.

Only in this way can we change the Chinese people’s inherent impression of domestic cars.”

BYD alone cannot completely surpass overseas brands, and Future Technology Group cannot monopolize the entire market share of new energy vehicles.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chuanfu laughed heartily and said, "Great minds think alike, haha!"

Hao Qiang's words also resolved any possible rift between the two companies.

Hao Qiang continued, "We have just applied for the automobile production qualification, but we don't even have any designers. We don't know when we can start mass production, but it will take at least three years.

To be honest, I have no idea.”

Hao Qiang hasn't figured out the car's price positioning, model, etc.

The two sides chatted for a while, and Wang Chuanfu entered the field of lithium batteries, which was also the main purpose of his visit today.

"Currently, the production capacity of ternary lithium batteries is mainly used to supply domestically produced electric motorcycles, with a production capacity of only 4GWh. The remaining very small portion has been reserved by major electric motorcycle manufacturers.

Lithium-ion battery packs for electric motorcycles are different from those for cars. We're also developing them, but we expect to have to wait until the new factory goes into production before we can meet the automotive lithium-ion battery supply." Hao Qiang replied that Bia Di wanted to buy now, but even if he was willing to sell, there was no stock.

"Well, if the product is good, there is no problem with sales. We do have this intention. After your company goes into production, we will discuss this cooperation in depth."

Hao Qiang asked, "Mr. Wang, your company should also produce lithium iron phosphate batteries, right?"

"Yes, but our technology is far inferior to yours. I heard that the light energy density has reached 140wh/kg." Wang Chuanfu smiled awkwardly. "Excuse me, Mr. Hao, do you have any intention of licensing your lithium iron phosphate battery technology?"

The energy density of the lithium iron phosphate battery pack reaches 140wh/kg, which means that a battery pack with 50 kWh of electricity weighs about 357 kilograms, which is barely acceptable.

If ternary lithium batteries are used, the weight of the battery pack can be reduced to 250 kilograms, which will be much lighter and provide a lot more space.

However, the energy density of their company's lithium iron phosphate battery packs has not reached 100wh/kg. At the same capacity, the weight is at least 150kg larger and it takes up more space, which seriously affects the car design and cannot meet the design requirements.

The curb weight of a mid-size sedan is about 1.5 tons, and if it is a new energy vehicle, it weighs nearly 2 tons.

Dragging hundreds of kilograms of batteries is indeed ridiculous.

Therefore, if we use our own batteries, we can only reduce the battery pack capacity and greatly reduce the endurance. The theoretical endurance is up to 350 kilometers, and the actual endurance is less than 300 kilometers.

For consumers, this means that they will have to charge for several hours after driving less than 300 kilometers, which they will definitely not want to do. It can only be used for short distances.
