Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.
Chapter 507 Hao Qiang's Mother Visits the Chip Factory
Higher energy density means that the range of electric vehicles will be greatly improved, which will not only help reduce dependence on charging infrastructure, but also accelerate the popularization of electric vehicles and promote the transition from traditional fuel vehicles to electric vehicles.
In addition to electric vehicles, industries like electric motorcycles, wearable devices, smart home devices and IoT devices are bringing revolutionary changes.
All battery factories of Future Technology Group have rapidly upgraded their equipment and production capacity, and have been optimizing them in recent years. They have also prepared a lot of equipment that needs to be replaced and are ready for equipment upgrades.
The original annual production capacity was about 110GWh. After all the equipment is upgraded, the annual production capacity can be increased to about 145GWh.
At the same time, the third phase of the battery plant, with a capacity of 135GWh, will be divided into two phases. 60GWh will be put into production in early 2013, followed by 75GWh in early 2014.
In this way, Future Technology Group's annual lithium battery production capacity can reach about 280GWh, which can provide batteries for about 350 million new energy vehicles.
The popularization of super lithium batteries will definitely accelerate the popularization of electric vehicles and motorcycles.
At the same time, Hao Qiang plans to reduce the factory cost of ternary lithium batteries.
In 2007, the average comprehensive cost of a ternary lithium battery per kilowatt-hour was 600 yuan, and the ex-factory price was 1000 yuan.
By 2012, with the improvement of technology, the overall cost had dropped to around 500 yuan per kilowatt-hour, even though the prices of battery raw materials continued to rise.
But the factory price is still 1000 yuan per kilowatt-hour.
Today, the comprehensive cost of super lithium batteries has dropped to about 400 yuan per kilowatt-hour, and the ex-factory price has been adjusted to 950 yuan.
If the battery capacity of a new energy vehicle is 70 kWh, the battery purchase cost will be reduced by 3500 yuan.
Generally speaking, car manufacturers have to charge a premium of about 1400 yuan, that is, the price of a 70-kWh battery must be priced at 10 yuan to make a profit, which means that consumers need to spend at least 10 yuan to buy a battery.
In the future, Future Technology Group will continue to lower the ex-factory price of ternary lithium batteries, which may drop to around 700 yuan per kilowatt-hour. Then fuel vehicles will have no advantages at all.
In fact, according to the current national subsidies, it is equivalent to the state paying for batteries for new energy vehicle manufacturers.
However, the national subsidies for purchasing new energy vehicles will become less and less.
Currently, it is 1000 yuan per kilowatt-hour, with a maximum of 8 yuan
For a 70-kWh battery, the government subsidizes 7 yuan, and consumers still have to spend 3 to 5 yuan to buy the battery.
Generally speaking, the engine cost of a fuel vehicle accounts for approximately 10% to 20% of the vehicle's total sales price.
If we take the median value of 15%, it would be 4.5 yuan.
With this calculation, the sales cost of the engine is roughly around 4.5 yuan.
Therefore, the purchase costs of new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles with the same configuration have become comparable.
As battery costs fall, if the national subsidy policy remains unchanged, the price advantage of new energy vehicles will become more prominent.
More importantly, new energy vehicles are more competitive in terms of usage costs, especially in long-term use.
Compared with fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles are not only easy to charge, but also have low overall maintenance costs and gradually improved battery life. This makes consumers more inclined to choose new energy vehicles with higher cost-effectiveness when making choices.
Future Technology Group's lithium batteries have long solved the problems of battery depletion and inconvenient charging, and have even made breakthroughs in battery life.
Nowadays, the popularization of charging facilities has made the use of electric vehicles more convenient, greatly enhancing consumers' purchasing confidence.
If Hao Qiang had made such progress in lithium battery technology in his previous life, fuel vehicles would not be able to compete with new energy vehicles.
Future Technology Group has just announced a major breakthrough in super lithium batteries, which immediately caused a strong response in the industry.
Major automakers have contacted us to learn about the practical application of this technology.
Upon learning that the ex-factory price of super lithium batteries will drop soon and that they are expected to be officially supplied from August this year, all manufacturers have expressed their determination to no longer hesitate and to focus on the research and development and production of new energy vehicles.
It can be said that the announcement of super lithium battery by Future Technology Group means that the era of new energy vehicles has truly arrived.
With the announcement of Future Technology Group's super lithium battery, the outside world is speculating that Hao Qiang's wealth will skyrocket again.
Two days later,
Hao Qiang's mother Liu Fengqing rushed from her hometown to Shenzhen to visit her grandchildren, and brought a large bag of Xinjiang nut cakes. The bag looked heavy, weighing more than ten pounds.
"Oh, Mom, why did you buy so much?
This is too sweet, and children can’t eat too much.” Hao Qiang saw his mother’s bag of cakes and took out some to taste.
The taste is good, but you can't eat too much.
"I don't want to buy so much either. The boss is too ruthless. I said I would buy a few kilograms.
He said he would sell as much as he could cut, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to sell it.
It sounded reasonable, so I believed it. But who knew that the piece of cake he cut was so big, a big piece weighing more than ten pounds, which really scared me.
"One pound costs 80 yuan, so this bag is over a thousand yuan." Liu Fengqing felt like she was being ripped off when she talked about this, but at least she wasn't shortchanged.
Most people really can’t afford it.
Such a small piece weighs more than ten pounds, and the boss’s big plate must cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Hao Qiang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "This cake is heavy to begin with, so just buy it and forget it. It can be stored, but you can't give it to children to eat frequently."
"As long as you like to eat it, I'm afraid it will be wasted." Seeing that everyone liked the food, Liu Fengqing didn't care that she was tricked.
She took out more cakes from the bag and shared them with everyone, smiling.
The family is not short of money, but she doesn't like being tricked.
She has eaten all kinds of delicacies, no matter how expensive they are, but she feels that ordinary people need to be careful when buying this cake.
Before, Liu Fengqing felt a little unhappy and felt that he had been tricked.
But now, when she sees her grandchildren affectionately calling her "Grandma", her mood instantly becomes much happier.
Whenever she heard this affectionate name, she couldn't help but smile, and felt that all her troubles turned into warm sunshine.
She used to think it would be great to have grandchildren, but now that she actually had four, she felt that was enough.
Especially when the children are together, the scene is often noisy and busy, and even an energetic old person like her feels a little tired.
She thought that if it were an ordinary family, she would probably be unable to take care of the child by herself.
She is now staying in her hometown for some time, and then staying in Shenzhen for some time.
Nowadays, the production of hot pot base for Renjian Yanhuo is no longer the responsibility of the family. Instead, a food processing factory has been set up to specialize in this area.
When Liu Fengqing had some free time, he planted some vegetables and raised some chickens and ducks at home, for fear that he would be idle.
Hao Jianjun still likes to work in the village committee. When he is free, he goes to the industrial park, visits the vegetable base, and coordinates some trivial matters.
It’s not too busy, as people often come to visit my hometown.
Among those who visited were relatives and friends, leaders in county and town governments, local business owners, or bank financial managers.
If it is a business visit, Liu Fengqing generally refuses to visit, especially those who bring gifts, and refuses to accept them all.
Of course, outsiders also know that Hao Qiang's family is not short of material things, so they can only think about other aspects.
Night came,
The family sat around the round dining table. Under the warm light, the dishes on the table exuded an enticing aroma.
Hao Qiang, Liu Fengqing, Qiu Yuqing, Han Qingying, Han Qingying's grandmother, Qiu Yuqing's mother, and two children all sat together happily.
Hao Jianjun comes to the Hao Mansion once a month, while Qiu Hai comes over every week to get together.
Hao Qiang's eldest son and daughter are almost two years old and can eat independently.
The younger son and daughter are still breastfeeding, and are taken care of by servants while the adults eat. The occasional babbling sounds from them add a lot of warmth to life.
The atmosphere at the table was cheerful and harmonious, with constant laughter.
Liu Fengqing looked at his son and suddenly remembered a recent news report. He asked, "Aqiang, I saw a report saying that the chip manufactured by your company ranks first in the world. Is that chip really that powerful?
It's such a small piece, and it's worth thousands of dollars. It sounds a bit too mysterious."
Liu Fengqing lived at the headquarters of Future Technology Group for a period of time. Although she knew that her son's company was awesome, she had never been to the workshop at the headquarters for fear that a visit would affect production.
She gets most of her knowledge about future technology from news and reports, and occasionally asks her son.
However, Hao Jianjun asked Hao Qiang's secretary to take him around whenever he had nothing to do. He saw a lot of the company's operations and had some idea in his mind.
Qiu Yuqing smiled and explained, “Mom, that’s not bragging.
Our company’s chip technology is not only the best in the world, but has also surpassed many of our peers by many years.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Hao Qiang, her eyes full of admiration and pride for him.
Liu Fengqing was picking up some food while thinking about it. She responded, "Oh, so that's how it is."
At the beginning, she paid more attention to the news about her son, but later she found that there was more and more news, and much of it was unreliable. If the news about Future Technology Group was included, she couldn't even keep up.
Hao Qiang picked up the bowl, took a sip of the soup, and said with a smile, "Mom, if you want to know more, why don't you go and see for yourself? I'll have my secretary take you around the production workshop."
After hearing this, Liu Fengqing was actually quite curious and nodded slightly: "Well, I don't have anything to do tomorrow, so I'll go take a look and find out."
The next morning,
After breakfast,
She got in her son's car and went to the company together.
Several bulletproof vehicles were driving on Future Avenue, having a smooth journey.
This one-way six-lane viaduct was just opened to traffic at the beginning of this month.
It is used by Future Technology Group during rush hour and is open to the public at other times.
The company invested in the construction and the locals didn't dare to say anything.
Of course, there are still some negative comments saying that Future Technology Group is occupying public resources by relying on its wealth.
Hao Qiang knew that investing in the construction of this future avenue would certainly be objected to by some people, but he didn't care.
It took about ten minutes for Hao Qiang to reach the company's headquarters building from his home.
Liu Fengqing sat in her son's office and drank tea for a while, then followed her son's secretary Sun Shasha to the workshop.
When she arrived at the chip production workshop, special personnel came to greet her, but Sun Shasha was not allowed to enter the chip production workshop.
Since the chip production workshop is the core area of the company, it is managed extremely strictly and only relevant personnel can enter. Even Hao Qiang's secretary cannot enter at will. Sun Shasha can only wait in the guard room.
"Madam, this is the chip production workshop." After Liu Fengqing changed into anti-static clothes, Chen Zhen, the head of the lithography machine project team, came to greet her in person and took her to the production workshop.
Liu Fengqing didn't expect that the project leader would come to lead her, and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to disturb your work."
Chen Zhen smiled politely, shook his head and said, "Madam, you don't have to be polite, just call me Xiao Chen.
Our recent R&D tasks are not heavy, and the chairman often comes to the laboratory in person to guide our work.
To be honest, I am considered the chairman's apprentice.
It is a great honor for me to have the opportunity to show you around our production facility."
Hearing Chen Zhen's humble words, Liu Fengqing felt much more relaxed.
Besides, she has seen the world.
She looked up at the bright and clean production area, her heart filled with curiosity and anticipation about this mysterious and high-tech world.
Following Chen Zhen's guidance, Liu Fengqing stepped into the production workshop full of high-tech atmosphere.
Inside the workshop, the bright lights and clean environment make people feel like they are walking into a future world.
The operators all wore standard anti-static clothing and observed the advanced machines attentively.
After a while, she finally saw the EBL lithography machine and heard Chen Zhen introduce it as the core equipment of the chip.
"This equipment is worth tens of billions of yuan?" Liu Fengqing was a little shocked.
It only occupies more than ten square meters, but its value is amazing.
She thought it was equipment covering thousands of square meters.
Chen Zhen said seriously: "Yes, if we can sell it, others will rush to buy it.
But we can't sell it, it's our core equipment.
Having such equipment can bring tens of billions of profits to the company every year."
"That's right. Who would be so foolish as to kill a hen that lays eggs?" Liu Fengqing agreed.
But it still refreshed her understanding.
Then she saw the chip production process on the screen.
"Madam, this device currently burns the mobile phone processor 835, which is specially produced for Huawei Company." Chen Zhen explained and took out an unpackaged chip sample to show Liu Fengqing.
"So this is the phone chip. I've never opened a phone, so I'm not sure. How much do we sell it for?"
"The current factory price is 1500 yuan."
"So expensive!" Liu Fengqing exclaimed in amazement. She saw several beads densely packed on a round piece.
That would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that her son's business was really shady.
No wonder the company is so profitable.
After visiting the production workshop, Chen Zhen took Liu Fengqing to visit other R&D areas and answered some of her questions in detail.
Liu Fengqing felt the enthusiasm and professionalism of every staff member in the company and gained a deeper understanding of her son's company.
