Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

After the meeting, Li Dongxi immediately instructed his secretary to send a visiting letter to Future Technology Group and sent Vice President Jin Lixu to Huaguo Yuecheng for negotiations.

For important matters like technology licensing, only by visiting and discussing in person can we demonstrate our sincerity.

How is it possible to get information with just one phone call?!

Although Li Dongxi disapproves of most Chinese companies, Future Technology Group is an exception.

After all, their technology level is far ahead, and the key patents of ternary lithium batteries are also in their hands.

……

Across the ocean, in the United States, Silicon Valley, California.

Meanwhile, Tesla is facing challenges of its own.

Tesla was founded in July 2003. The following year, Musk acquired shares through financing and became the company's chairman.

By 2006, the company had expanded to 200 employees, but the research and development of its first model, the Tesla Roadster, was plagued by difficulties.

It wasn't until last year that the Roadster's research and development achieved a major breakthrough.

Just a few days ago, Tesla began delivering the first batch of Roadsters and is working hard to promote mass production.

In the early years, Tesla signed a cooperation agreement with Panasonic, and the Roadster uses Panasonic's ternary lithium battery.

Each vehicle uses approximately 6,831 battery cells, with a battery pack capacity of 53kWh. The cruising range is approximately 390 kilometers under comprehensive road conditions and can reach 430 kilometers in urban conditions.

However, the battery pack weighs about 450 kg and has an energy density of about 120Wh/kg.

It has to be said that Panasonic's ternary lithium battery technology is still not as good as LG Chem's, whose mass production technology has reached 145Wh/kg.

However, Panasonic's headquarters has strong technical capabilities and abundant financial resources. If it makes a big move into the lithium battery industry, it may make rapid progress.

However, in this life, the entry of Future Technology Group has brought huge changes to the industry.

Tesla is now in an awkward situation, constrained by existing cooperation agreements. It wants to get rid of Panasonic while looking for new partners.

Future Technology Group's advanced lithium battery technology has enabled Tesla's senior management to see the huge prospects of new energy vehicles.

However, Hao Qiang is not in a hurry to provide lithium batteries to Tesla.

He would rather give up the profits from battery sales than see Tesla's rapid rise.

Unless Musk agrees to let Hao Qiang invest in Tesla.

In fact, Musk was also in a dilemma at this time.

Future Technology Group not only enters the automotive industry, but also produces the world's most advanced lithium batteries.

If Tesla purchases their batteries, it will be tantamount to boosting Future Technology Group's development in the field of new energy vehicles.

With the introduction of China's new energy vehicle policy, many investors have sensed the huge potential of this industry and are actively preparing funds to enter the market.

However, most people still take a wait-and-see attitude.

……

In the following period of time, Hao Qiang continued to pay attention to the progress of the future ES6 prototype production.

At the same time, he plans to build the company's first new energy car ET0.

This car may not be mass-produced. He plans to display this model at the Canton Fair this autumn to promote future new energy vehicles and build momentum for the future ES6.

ET0 will integrate the design elements of MISU7 and Pamela, and adopt a four-wheel drive system and super lithium battery.

Its acceleration time from zero to 100 kilometers is just over two seconds, which is enough to kill all sports cars on the market.

In fact, accelerating a car too fast is not a good thing. If a novice drives it, it is easy to get into an accident.

Generally speaking, an acceleration time from zero to 100 kilometers in about five seconds is already quite amazing.

To customize a car, there is no need to verify too many technical things like the future ES6. As long as the materials are sufficient, it will not take long, a few months will be enough.

Hao Qiang decided to take the initiative and draw a concept map of ET0.

With the experience of designing the future ES6, this work seemed easy.

By early March, Hao Qiang handed over the ET0's concept drawings, three-dimensional drawings and technical parameters to the design department, and instructed them to customize the car.

After seeing the 3D rendering, a designer from the design department praised it, saying, "Chairman, this car is so beautiful! It will surely amaze the industry once it's shown at the auto show."

"It looks good but is useless. With current technology, the manufacturing cost is too high. Let's just treat it as an exhibition." Hao Qiang disagreed. It cost at least five million yuan to customize this car.

A custom-made oversized screen will cost tens of thousands of yuan; the best automotive chips; wide 325/35R21-inch rear tires; four electric motors with a total horsepower exceeding 1,000; high-end NAPPA leather seats, and an interior fully wrapped in leather and suede...

Only he has a lot of money and is willful enough to get a big toy.

When Hao Qiang is free, he also participates in the production, purely for entertainment.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was already mid-March.

The CUHK campus is filled with spring, and Hao Qiang returns to campus to relax.

As graduation approaches in the second semester of the senior year, courses are basically over and students are mainly busy completing their graduation thesis.

Hao Qiang has already prepared his graduation thesis and PPT. The two papers he is preparing for defense have been published in the first zone of SCI and can also be used as doctoral dissertations.

"Brother Qiang, how come you have time to come to the dormitory today?"

"Hey, Brother Qiang, it's rare for you to come back!"

Li Yunfeng and his roommates, who were busy working on their graduation thesis in the dormitory, couldn't help but show surprise when they saw Hao Qiang step into the room.

Hao Qiang hadn't set foot in the dormitory for a long time. There was only a mat left on his bed, and the bedding was neatly placed in the closet.

Since his junior year, Hao Qiang rarely attended classes with them. He mostly came to school to audit other professional courses and only stayed in the same room with his roommates during exams.

"I'm back for a walk. My four years of college are coming to an end." Hao Qiang said with some emotion in his tone. He looked around the room and found that all five roommates were there.

Seeing Hao Qiang enter the room, Li Yunfeng hurriedly brought a chair for him to sit down, and Fei Yang handed him an unopened bottle of mineral water.

"Yeah, time flies. After graduation, we all went our separate ways."

"We haven't changed much, but Brother Qiang has changed the most. He might become the richest man in the country after graduating from university."

"Haha, have you become more handsome?" Hao Qiang said jokingly, lowering his posture.

"He's much more handsome than when school started, and his temperament is even more impressive."

"Brother Qiang doesn't care about money, he only cares about whether he is handsome or not, haha."

The roommates' banter filled the dormitory with laughter, as if they were back in their freshman year when they spent every day together.

The graduation plans of the five people have been determined. Li Yunfeng finally chose to be a selected student in Guangdong Province and passed both the written test and the interview.

Li Yunfeng's hometown is Zhejiang Province, but he feels that he can develop better in Yuecheng. Hao Qiang's connections are also here and can help him a little, so he simply applies for the one in Guangdong Province.

Although selected candidates are reserve cadres of the provincial party committee, they still need to train at the grassroots level for a few years.

He will be trained at the grassroots level in Bao'an District, Pengcheng, as an assistant to the director of a street office.

This was the best result Hao Qiang had achieved for him. Otherwise, he would generally be assigned to the county government or town level.

Of course, even if assigned to the town, the position would be assistant to the mayor.

Those who have worked for 3 years and have been rated as competent or above in annual assessments will be assigned to deputy section-level positions.

After Li Yunfeng got the job, his parents came to Yuecheng in person to thank Hao Qiang.

Mu Shi and Luo Wei continued their postgraduate studies, while Fei Yang and Liu Yang found jobs.

Hao Qiang chatted with his roommate for half an hour before leaving the dormitory. From now on, he will not come to dormitory 213 again.

His undergraduate career is almost over.
