Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Chapter 489: Mass production of 1st generation, reserve of 234th generation, research and developmen

After Wang Xiaofeng finished his report, a few minutes later it was the turn of Wei Wei, general manager of Future Motorcycle Company, to report.

Since the former general manager Lin Yan was transferred to the position of general manager of Galaxy New Energy Company, Wei Wei has taken over this highly anticipated electric motorcycle brand.

Wei Wei briefly reported on the company's recent situation: the annual production capacity of electric motorcycles has stabilized at around 230 million units, basically the same as in previous years.

Thanks to technological upgrades and market positioning, the price of bicycles has increased by about 11% compared with previous years, annual revenue has climbed to 95 billion yuan, and net profit after tax has steadily reached 30 billion yuan.

The company's model range has continued to develop from F1 to F5, with the iconic F1 model undergoing subtle but significant iterative updates every year.

After finishing the report, Wei Wei asked cautiously: "Chairman, the government of neighboring India has repeatedly and sincerely invited us to expand our factory there.

They promise attractive tax incentives and extremely low local labor costs.

Of course, I disagree.”

Hao Qiang remained silent after hearing this. Instead, he asked a seemingly unrelated question with deep meaning: "Mr. Wei, have you ever raised pigs at home?"

Wei Wei was confused, but still responded truthfully: "More than a decade ago, my family did raise pigs when we were in the countryside, but that was taken care of by my parents. I never raised any pigs myself."

Hao Qiang sneered, "If we open factories in these countries, we'll be the piglets. Once we grow fat, haha, we'll be the pigs waiting to be slaughtered. Some countries won't listen to reason or international rules, and they're not afraid of international influence."

They won't harvest you directly, but they will torture you in various ways. Not to mention domestic companies such as VIVO and OPPO, even four-star or Pingguo companies will not be spared in the face of this "hunting".

It may seem very tempting at first, but it is actually a carefully designed economic trap.

For example, a $10 billion investment project promises to return $3 million in investment compensation after achieving a specific output value target.

However, when the company worked hard to achieve the goal, the policy suddenly changed: it required an additional investment of US$50 billion to receive US$20 billion in compensation.

In order to obtain higher compensation, companies have to continue to make additional investments.

When companies try to divest, a myriad of fines and obstacles follow.

These countries have a very clever plan, which is to keep every penny of your money in their pockets.

If they let you take away a penny, it means they are incompetent.

The US still has some dignity, but India might ask: "What the hell is that dignity?"

Taking the mobile phone industry as an example, we have helped others build an almost complete mobile phone industry chain.

In 2014, about 80% of mobile phones needed to be imported.

But a few years later, 99.2% of mobile phones were already made domestically.

Where do the production workshops and equipment come from?

Of course it’s harvested.

Not only the mobile phone industry, but also new energy vehicles, fertilizers, home appliances and other industries.

The companies that fled back did not dare to advertise, for fear of affecting their stocks and being laughed at by the country.

Besides, why should I tell you about the loss I suffered when I spent my own money?

It’s better to let our peers jump into the pit, which will reduce the competitive pressure.

but,

The guy next door is also an idiot. He slaughtered the pig before it was fat enough.

Now that the industrial chain is incomplete, we have to rely on Huaguo in the end.

After hearing this, Wei Wei began to sweat profusely on his forehead.

Hao Qiang's analysis was like a wake-up call, and it probably made him understand the chairman's attitude towards certain countries.

If Wei Wei can't figure it out, he will just step down.

"Yes, these countries have absolutely no bottom line. Some companies can't even see the political risks involved." Wei Wei agreed.

"It's not that I didn't see it, but I felt the profit margin was huge and wanted to take a chance, just like gambling.

They think they are smarter than other governments, but other governments don't have to be smart, they just need to be greedy without any bottom line.

"No matter how good you are at gambling, you can't beat a rogue who won't admit defeat even after losing and thinks you still owe him money." Hao Qiang sneered in response.

Wei Wei couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, the chairman's description is very appropriate."

"It's true. We can't fight against such rogues, so we simply shouldn't play with them and let them play on their own," Hao Qiang smiled. "Some companies think they can win the bet, but they don't follow the rules at all."

After Wei Wei finished his brief report,

Lin Yan, general manager of Galaxy New Energy Company, came to report.

According to Hao Qiang's plan, the company's annual production capacity will reach 200GWh. Currently, 105GWh has been put into production, of which the second phase of 60GWh was put into use in early 2011.

It is expected that the third phase will not be put into operation until 2013, depending mainly on the market demand for lithium batteries.

With the development speed of new energy vehicles, it won’t be long before they are put into use.

Today, Galaxy New Energy Company is the leading domestic automotive power lithium battery company. The technology of its peers is so far behind its own that it has no market at all and can be said to be in a monopoly situation.

According to regulations, any operator who abuses their dominant market position, any concentration of operators that has or may have the effect of excluding or restricting competition, or any abuse of administrative power to exclude or restrict competition are all considered monopolies.

国内暂时没有《反垄断法》,按照历史的话,要到2012年5月8日才出台,2012年6月1日起才开始施行。

Even if Future Technology Group is involved in monopoly, the country will not target it.

But if it is a foreign company, then it must be done, such as Yingtel.

According to European regulations, as long as one company reaches one-third of the market share, or three or fewer companies together reach one-half of the market share, or five or fewer companies together reach two-thirds of the market share, it can be inferred that the merger creates or strengthens a dominant market position.

As long as the country where your company is located targets your company, it will be deemed as monopolistic behavior.

People want to eat meat and won't reason with you.

The report submitted by Lin Yan was very eloquent, and the words between the lines revealed the company's thriving development trend.

Galaxy New Energy's current main product line focuses on NCM622 ternary lithium batteries. This high-performance battery is highly favored in the new energy vehicle field due to its excellent energy density and cycle life.

At the same time, the company is also involved in the production of lithium iron phosphate batteries, but the output is relatively small. BYD's lithium batteries are mainly of this type.

This year's financial data of Galaxy Energy Company is indeed astonishing, with annual revenue reaching 1100 billion yuan.

Among them, ternary lithium batteries for new energy vehicles undoubtedly account for the vast majority of revenue.

As the domestic new energy vehicle industry has grown rapidly, the market demand for ternary lithium batteries has snowballed.

Two years later, Galaxy Energy's annual revenue is expected to reach 2000 billion yuan.

It is worth mentioning that due to the strong rise of Future Technology Group, Ningde Times Company, which was once a powerful company in Hao Qiang’s previous life, has not been able to develop in this time and space.

Even if Ningde Times Company catches up, facing the resource barriers built by the four major lithium mining companies controlled by Hao Qiang, its development path is still full of thorns and it is difficult to compete with Galaxy New Energy Company.

Galaxy New Energy Company not only dominates the domestic market, but even those once-powerful international lithium battery giants now have to bow down to this emerging powerhouse from China.

Galaxy New Energy Company has already established an absolute dominant position in the global lithium battery industry.

After the report, Lin Yan cautiously asked Hao Qiang: "Chairman, when will our NCM811 plan be launched?"

Hao Qiang pondered for a moment and originally planned to announce the super ternary lithium battery on New Year's Day 2013.

It mainly depends on the development of peers and the research and development of solid-state lithium metal batteries itself.

If solid-state lithium metal batteries are mass-produced, the super lithium battery NCM811 will appear too backward.

In terms of energy density, the difference is several times.

Of course, even if solid-state lithium metal batteries are mass-produced, the price will be very expensive, and NCM811 will still be eliminated.

Hao Qiang's mass production strategy is to mass-produce the first generation, reserve the second, third, and even fourth generations, and research and develop the fifth generation.

If a product is too far ahead of its time, it is actually not a good thing for society. It will cause all its peers to go bankrupt, thus causing a global technological gap.

Technological progress is a double-edged sword. It will only produce results. For unknown reasons, if the future technology group declines, human technological development will come to an end.

Therefore, it is best to occupy only the high-end market, occupy a part of the mid-end, and leave the rest of the mid- and low-end to peers.

However, if you want to develop into an interstellar space, you don’t have to worry about the above, and the faster you develop, the better.

But when launching a product into the market, you still have to consider the social impact.

Hao Qiang sometimes wonders. Looking at the history of human development, it is only five or six thousand years old, and the earliest can be traced back to about 8000 years ago. So, is it true that there were no humans on Earth between ten thousand years ago and several billion years ago?

The universe is vast, and there are probably carbon-based species that he doesn't know about.

Who created his golden finger?

Or is it the universe's autonomous evolution?

"How is LG Chem's R&D progress?" Hao Qiang asked.

Lin Yan responded respectfully: “According to the latest reports, they have overcome the technical bottleneck of 190wh/kg at the laboratory level;

In the mass production stage, it can stably reach around 170wh/kg."

Hao Qiang raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise crossing his face: "It's developing quite rapidly."

Lin Yan smiled and explained, "This is thanks to our technological demonstration and leadership.

Our lithium batteries, as an industry benchmark, provide them with valuable reference and inspiration.

As the saying goes, 'standing on the shoulders of giants,' their progress is not surprising."

Hao Qiang nodded in agreement: "That makes sense. Unless we choose to keep our core technologies hidden, the overall progress of the industry is inevitable."

After a pause, he continued to elaborate on his strategic vision: "In the second half of the year, we can announce the NCM811 and mass-produce it, with a price slightly higher than the conventional NCM622 model, to provide customers with more choices.

By early 2014, we will fully transition to NCM811 technology.

By then, our lithium metal batteries may have been successfully developed."

Lin Yan carefully recorded every detail and began to outline a comprehensive and thorough implementation plan in his mind.

After the report, he respectfully left the office, full of admiration for Hao Qiang's strategic vision.

Standing in the corridor, Lin Yan fell into deep thought.

He knew that the chairman was not only laying out the upstream, midstream and downstream of the lithium battery industry chain, but was also drawing a grand blueprint for the country's energy transformation.

In his opinion, new energy vehicles may not be superior to traditional fuel vehicles in all dimensions, but from the perspective of industrial development and national strategy, the domestic development of lithium batteries is undoubtedly the key to breaking the deadlock.

The country no longer wants to be constrained by international fuel vehicle giants and is eager to overtake them through technological innovation.

Galaxy New Energy Company is the backbone of this quietly ongoing development, and Hao Qiang is the founder of the country's new energy vehicles.

If tens of millions of new energy vehicles are sold annually, Lin Yan seems to have seen the magnificent scene of the new energy industry standing at the top of the world.
