City: Start A Chip Factory

When it comes to power batteries, there’s a lot to talk about.

As introduced before, there are currently two major types of power batteries for electric vehicles.

One is a ternary lithium battery.

The other is lithium iron phosphate battery.

Ternary lithium batteries are well produced by foreign companies, such as Sonnar Group, lt Group, Sansang Chemical and other major international manufacturers.

Of course, there is also Ningte era in China that is doing pretty well in making ternary lithium batteries.

Power batteries such as lithium iron phosphate are dominated by domestic battery manufacturers.

The most impressive one is Biyanti. The latest blade battery is very powerful. It not only has a long battery life, but also basically solves the problem of battery safety.

Ningte Times recently made lithium iron phosphate batteries and has great experience.

At this time, Jia Haiqing nodded and said: "We have been using ternary lithium batteries from the Ningte era, and we are still using them now, but we are planning to replace them with lithium iron phosphate batteries, so that the cost can be reduced a bit."

Jia Haiqing glanced at Tang Yongsheng: "Moreover, the density of power batteries has increased, the battery life is better, and the price and cost have come down. This is very good for us as electric vehicle manufacturers."

Tao Mingfeng nodded: "It is true. Today's electric vehicles have a much better experience than in previous years because of the increased density of power batteries and reduced costs."

Tang Yongsheng sighed: "This is also a problem."

After everyone heard this, they all looked at Tang Yongsheng.

Yu Chengxi: "Old Tang, tell me why this is a problem."

Tang Yongsheng: "You have all said that the density of power batteries now is higher, the battery life is longer, but the cost has dropped.

Yu Chengxi: "Yes, isn't this bad?"

Tang Yongsheng: "Of course it is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. Think about it, the threshold for power batteries has been lowered, which means that the competition in the electric power industry has become more intense.

Only then did everyone's minds turn around.

Tang Yongsheng is an investor.

The investor's perspective is different from that of the developer. He always thinks from the competitor's perspective.

Nowadays, power batteries are better than before and the price is cheaper. Even Ceres can buy good batteries.

The problem is, the batteries purchased by other car companies will definitely be better.

The key is that there are manufacturers like Biyangdi that can produce both complete vehicles and batteries. The amortized cost of power batteries is even lower.

The batteries that Seris can buy can go 500 kilometers on a single charge, and the batteries purchased by other more powerful electric vehicle companies may be able to go 700 kilometers on a single charge.

And because those powerful car companies sell more cars and purchase more power batteries, the calculated purchase price is even cheaper.

Anyway, in terms of vehicle configuration, Siris still can't escape the situation of being crushed. On the contrary, the situation will be worse.

Yu Chengxi: "This is not a problem, Old Tang. As long as your family's funds come into the market, Siris will have money! When the time comes, it will be possible to purchase in large quantities and lower the quotation."

Tang Yongsheng smiled bitterly and said: "What are my family's funds? The investment company does not belong to me alone. There are many shareholders. If you want to invest money, you must explain it clearly to them. There must be sufficient reasons."

Jia Haiqing's expression dimmed again.

He had already seen hope just now, but seeing that Tang Yongsheng still didn't let go, he felt that there was not much hope.

At this time, Tao Mingfeng said: "Actually, you can also choose another route."

Jia Haiqing: "Hybrid vehicle?"

Tao Mingfeng nodded: "To be precise, it should be similar to an extended-range electric vehicle. Coupled with a certain power return function, battery life, and fuel, the total cruising range of the vehicle can be pushed to more than 1,000 kilometers."

Yu Chengxi praised: "This is indeed a good idea. By the way, there is either a car called Dream One or it uses this solution!"

Tao Mingfeng: “Yes, Dream One is selling well now.

Everyone looked at Tang Yongsheng again to see how he would react.

Tang Yongsheng thought for a while and said: "This solution is feasible, but will the cost of the vehicle increase again? Will the price of the vehicle reach more than 300,000?"

The cost of hybrid vehicles has indeed increased a lot.

In addition to the three-electric system of electric vehicles, an engine is also required, a gearbox matching the fuel engine also needs to be integrated, and a fuel supply system is also required.

0

Anyway, both electricity and fuel are needed, so the cost of building two systems will of course increase.

For Tang Yongsheng, this solution is acceptable, but it is still not the best one, just a compromise solution.

Yu Chengxi thought about it and said, "It's not like the cost cannot be reduced. We at Huawei can help come up with some plans."

Tang Yongsheng nodded, but not very firmly.

After a few seconds, Tang Yongsheng said again: "I will talk to the shareholders, and maybe there will be a chance of approval.

Jia Haiqing said quickly: "Thank you, at least we Siris have retained hope."

............0

This is also Jia Haiqing's true words. Although the hope is not great, at least there is still some.

Just then, a voice suddenly said: "Actually, there is a third option."

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that the person speaking was the boss of Du Bo Semiconductor.

Du Bo didn't interrupt just now. He listened patiently to these people before speaking. He just wanted to understand the situation clearly to avoid saying the wrong thing.

Now is indeed the time to make a big move, and Du Bo takes action decisively.

Jia Haiqing looked puzzled: "The third option?"

Tao Mingfeng, a great expert, also smiled and said: "Boss Du, what is the third option?"

"Solid-state batteries," Du Bo said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they were even more surprised.

Of course everyone knows what solid-state batteries are, but so far, they are only at the laboratory stage and there are no conditions for mass production.

So using solid-state batteries is just a fantasy now.

Of course, although Du Bo is young, he is the boss of Du Bo Semiconductor and a big shot in the technology circle, otherwise he would definitely be laughed at.

Tao Mingfeng: "Solid-state battery technology is immature now and has not been launched on the market. If you can't buy it, even if you can buy it, the cost is quite high and it is not suitable for large-scale mass production.

Yu Chengxi knew Du Bo best and knew that what Du Bo said was definitely not nonsense. .
