Blooming America

Anthony is an employee of the Big Mac Battery Company.

He is a very ordinary member of the American citizens.

The name of the Big Mac battery sounds very good, but this is only one of the few companies in the United States that has just been established. Anthony came in when the company just opened, counting the time, it’s already It's been almost three years.

Speaking of, the company's development was very unsmooth at the beginning, but at this time, a venture fund found them.

Venture capital, this thing Anthony also knows, the boss above was ecstatic when faced with the capital injection of these people.

With this funding, the company passed the most difficult hurdle.

"Anthony, have you heard that someone is going to buy our Big Mac battery!" When they were at work, the employees below were whispering.

No way, the situation in these two days is too abnormal.

The boss used to come to the company every day to urge them to come to work, but in the past two days, the boss has not appeared, which is really abnormal.

And it just so happened that news about the acquisition came out at this time, and it's no wonder that these employees talked about it everywhere.

"Investment? The boss won't sell our company just like this, right?" Anthony didn't believe that the company was sold just like this. He knows that his boss treats his company as if he were his own son.

So when faced with this news, Anthony did not believe it.

He prefers to think this is false news.

"Of course, but what if the other party is willing to pay 1 million?" Anthony was stunned.

"One million...? U.S. dollars...?"

This is more than 30% higher than the company's market value. Who would do such a foolish thing?

"Yes, I heard that it seems that the people who are preparing to acquire here are from the Ark Group.

"The Ark Group?"

Anthony was familiar with the name, but Qu did not remember where he had heard the name.

"Four. Apple and American Telecom, these are all companies under the Ark Group!" This is the first time Anthony has heard of this news.

"You mean, it was the Ark Group that created our current computer, Internet, and cloud system?"

Anthony's house uses a cloud system machine. The signal of the cloud system is very good, which is very different from the previous TVs that had problems due to poor signals. And when using the cloud system, users do not need to adjust the channel by themselves, because after each new channel appears, it will automatically log in to the list, and then select the program at that time, which is very convenient to use.

"Yes, that's it."

Why does the Ark Group want to acquire its own battery company?

Anthony suddenly thought of the magic wand game console that his underage brother often played. This game console is the latest mainstream. Nowadays, the “family” young people usually carry an old hip and play music, and then wear a shirt with the Apple logo on their body, and hold a magic wand in their hands. This is the most fashionable now. Dressed up.

Although the wand game console was very good, Anthony saw that his brother had to spend a lot of money on the battery every day, and he felt that this handheld console did not seem as good as he had imagined.

It seems a little...too power-hungry.

Was it because of this that the other party chose to acquire his own giant battery?

[Answer] The case was announced within a few days.

The other party did acquire this company, but they did not just acquire the current Giant Battery. Anthony alone heard about more than ten companies.

Oh my god, this is more than ten million dollars!

Anthony was really taken aback when facing each other's generous hands.

A large amount of investment and funds go down, which directly uses money to crush everything. This is the power of the local tyrants.

The current Ark Group is obviously such a local tyrant.

Although several colleagues chose to leave, more people chose to stay in the company.

For these people, they are simply too lucky, because being acquired by the Ark Group means that they have become a part of the Ark Group, and in the entire Ark Group, there is a power similar to the fourth and Apple. In it!

Isn't it a great thing to be able to sit on the same level as such a great power?

Soon afterwards, Anthony received the news that the new energy companies acquired by the Ark Group will all be integrated into one large company.

These companies are not only companies engaged in battery business like the Giant Battery, but also some small chemical companies and some companies that use solar and wind energy.

Catherine prepared 30 million U.S. dollars this time to acquire these companies.

Although there are only 30 million, after all the companies are unified, such an enterprise is still contagious.

Similar to Anthony and other employees of the original company, Catherine temporarily chose to keep it.

But this is only temporary. If these people fail, Catherine will insert newcomers in, and then gradually replace these people to become the backbone of technology.

But Catherine will not voluntarily dismiss these people. These people can beat them if they want, and even if they do, their company is much higher than when they were at the original company, so it has been like that for hundreds of years. , People who want to do this are not uncommon.

The venture fund has invested in many companies, these companies are all companies that Catherine acquired for her battery business.

Not only lithium batteries, this business also includes dry batteries, but that is not the focus of Catherine's development. Catherine's focus has always been clear, that is, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

The general lithium battery does not mean that it cannot be charged, it is just that the charging of that kind of battery is really not good.

The cathode material of lithium batteries is manganese dioxide or sulfite chloride, and the anode is lithium. After the battery is assembled, the battery has voltage and does not need to be charged. This kind of battery can also be charged but the cycle performance is not good. Lithium crystals are easy to form during the charging and discharging cycle, which causes the internal short circuit of the battery. 1 Therefore, this kind of battery is generally prohibited from charging.

Only lithium-ion batteries can have good charging and discharging performance.

One is that it is also necessary to ensure that the battery will not be overcharged and overdischarged, which will also harm the battery, so if it is not necessary, it is best to keep the battery level of 40% to 80% for civilian lithium-ion batteries and polymer lithium batteries. Left and right are best used to preserve.

It's just that Catherine now wants to worry about overcharge and overdischarge. I am afraid there is no way, because let alone lithium-ion batteries, even metal lithium batteries are rare now. Otherwise, Catherine won't have to think about working with ExxonMobil.

In fact, if Catherine can have the same knowledge as she has in software and hardware, developing lithium-ion batteries is not a very difficult thing. On the contrary, it will become quite simple for Catherine.

"We have acquired 16 large and small companies in total. In addition, we have collected and purchased about 1,789 related patents through these companies."

It took more than half a month, and it wasn't until March that Catherine's acquisition was initially concluded, and I am afraid it will take a while to get things done.

It is not just the acquisition of these companies, but also various related patents, which Catherine bought together.

"Well, although the scale of the company will not be too large at that time, I still have money on my side. I believe they will agree with us."

At this time, this kind of lithium battery has just appeared. Catherine estimates that these people do not know how much market value such lithium batteries have. If possible, Catherine would like to try to ask whether this can be related to this. It’s better to buy a patent and do your own research...

Catherine believes that the market for lithium batteries is huge. In the future, lithium batteries will not only be used in portable devices such as mobile phones, but also in all kinds of new energy vehicles and UPS.

Of course, uninterruptible power supplies like UPS are mainly lead-acid batteries, and lead-acid batteries discharge more stably than lithium batteries.

In fact, the flywheel battery being developed by Xunlei Lab is also a very good battery. If it is not because the battery cannot be miniaturized, the flywheel battery is the best choice.

You know, the flywheel battery has a specific capacity of more than 150KG and a specific power of 5000～10000W/KG.

, The service life is as long as 25 years, if it is used in a car, it can be used for a car to travel 5 million kilometers!

Katherine knows a little about purely mechanical batteries like flywheel batteries~www.wuxiaspot.com~Because such batteries are very different from traditional batteries, Katherine has searched for a lot of relevant information. At least in the 21st century, Catherine knew that a company named Flywheel Systems of the United States successfully converted a Chrysler LHS sedan into an electric sedan with a newly developed flywheel battery. It can travel 600KM on a single charge, and the acceleration time from 96KM/H is 6.5. second.

If it can be miniaturized and used in mobile phones, the use of such a flywheel battery will definitely be very good.

"By the way, what's the name of the company?"

Catherine suddenly thought that although she was planning to start a company, she didn't seem to have a nice name yet.

Katherine thought about it, and was about to give her product a name.

"Um... how about Jinlong battery? Isn't it a popular name?"

Catherine suddenly thought of some kind of magical cow's electricity...

Third, there are two more foreigners~! .
