My science and technology museum

Faced with everyone's doubts, Xu Lei stopped trying to keep it secret and immediately explained the research content of the project to everyone.

"This time we are mainly conducting research on the raw materials of special electrolytes for metal solid-state batteries, and striving to solve problems such as temperature endurance, charging speed, service life, and cost and price."

The words just fell.

Everyone, including Wu Ziliang and Fu Zhengjun, looked surprised.

I didn't expect that Xu Lei would actually want to use batteries.

The few people who were left behind were basically from the chemical industry and had basically been exposed to the battery technology industry. Naturally, they also understood the metal solid-state batteries Xu Lei was talking about.

Solid-state batteries have many advantages over traditional lithium batteries, but there are also many problems that need to be solved.

The most important thing is the cost price.

It is unlikely that it will replace traditional lithium batteries in the next few years.

Under such circumstances, even if a metal all-solid-state battery is developed, no company will be willing to use it.

After all, technological innovation ultimately serves people. If it cannot be successfully commercialized, there is really no need to spend a lot of energy and time on research.

For example, the price of a mobile phone originally priced at 2,000 yuan has increased significantly after using solid-state batteries. Users will definitely stop and seriously consider whether it is necessary to continue buying.

Moreover, the current research on solid-state batteries by major battery manufacturers shows that the ideal performance is about 40% higher than that of lithium batteries.

But now that they have become members of the Future Technology Research Center, they must play their role and speak out about the problems of solid-state batteries to prevent Xu Lei from blindly diving into this pit.

This saves the time when the batteries developed cannot be sold and are wasted in the hands.

Not only does it cost money, it also pollutes the environment.

"Mr. Xu."

"I participated in the research of solid-state batteries when I was overseas, and I don't think it can replace traditional lithium batteries."

“It’s just too difficult to lower its cost price.”

Finally, when Wu Ziliang had the courage to speak out his opinions, he immediately opened up the conversation, causing several other people to express their opinions based on the technical knowledge they had mastered.

"Dr. Wu is right. The performance of solid-state batteries can be improved by up to 40%, but the overall cost performance is far inferior to traditional lithium batteries."

“There are so many problems that need to be solved to commercialize solid-state batteries.”

"I think that with our strength, we can directly conduct higher-level technical research. There is no need to stick to batteries. The sunk cost is too high."

Xu Lei listened to the arguments of several people and did not immediately respond. Mainly because he knew that everyone was sincerely considering the development of the company.

The reason why they are retained is because these people have considerable experience in battery technology research and can better help him solve the special electrolytes and other raw materials required for metal all-solid-state batteries.

After everyone's voices temporarily stopped, Xu Lei continued: "I fully understand everyone's concerns, but I am very confident in solving the various technical problems we face, and I believe that you, as researchers at the research center, will definitely I won’t give up easily.”

"Everyone should prepare early."

It can only be said that Wu Ziliang, Fu Zhengjun and others have just joined Future Technology. Although they often hear that Future Technology has achieved major technological breakthroughs in various industries when outside, they have never experienced it personally.

In addition, it is now involved in the field that I am good at, so I naturally do not have high expectations for this project.

If Lu Hongbo and Hange had been involved in this project, he would have been thinking about the world-shaking domestic battery technology.

Having said this, it would obviously be inappropriate for others to raise objections.

No matter how difficult and complex the problem that needs to be solved is, we must bite the bullet and at least not let Xu Lei and others in the research center look down upon it.

The research center has just been established, and they are among the first batch of people assigned to research and development projects. If they cannot submit a satisfactory answer sheet, their faces will be disgraced no matter how they look at it.

Fortunately, after thinking about it, compared to domestic and foreign battery manufacturers, they also have Xingtong, a powerful smart assistant, that they can use.

Perhaps we can really develop an all-solid-state battery that surpasses traditional lithium batteries in all aspects of performance.

At that time, it is bound to cause a vigorous change in the battery industry.

After determining the specific members of the project, Xu Lei took Chen Shihe back to the headquarters building and did not stay in the research center for too long.

After last night's efforts, he has transferred all the knowledge about metal all-solid-state batteries in the museum into his mind. With the help of Fu Zhengjun and Wu Ziliang, he believes that he will soon be able to produce electrolyte raw materials and start batch production. Production.

Therefore, the battery base has become extremely important and needs to be determined as soon as possible.

Although the production efficiency of all-solid-state batteries is much higher than that of traditional lithium batteries, the production process is significantly different.

Even if the production base is acquired, the production line still needs to be transformed first.

This all takes time to do.

So Xu Lei planned to find out about the battery production company mentioned by Zhang Xia, and if it was suitable, he could directly go through the acquisition process.

certainly.

At this time, Wu Ziliang, Fu Zhengjun and others did not dare to slack off.

Since we have been assigned such a tricky project, we must not waste a single second of our time.

Almost as soon as Xu Lei left, they started discussing research on metal all-solid-state batteries and searched for the latest developments in related research around the world through Xingpu.

In the afternoon, I entered the chemistry laboratory and began to conduct research experiments on the determined materials.

…

…

"Sure enough, the situation is similar to what Zhang Xia said. It seems that the first battery base is about to be established."

In the office of the headquarters building, Xu Lei leaned on his chair and browsed the content displayed on the computer screen, nodding from time to time to express satisfaction.

Since he couldn't wait for Zhang Xia to investigate and collect information, he first asked Xingtong to conduct a careful search on the battery production company, and finally succeeded in getting a lot of useful content.

The battery production company mentioned by Zhang Xia is called Binjiang Tianyu Battery Co., Ltd.

Mainly provides lithium batteries for domestic no-name mobile phone battery carts.

Sales volume in the past few years has been pretty good.

It is one of the top companies in Binjiang City.

The valuation was once as high as one billion.

It owns a battery production base with an area of ​​several hundred thousand square meters, including advanced lead-acid battery lithium battery production lines.

However, with the rapid development of Ningwang New Energy Co., Ltd. in the past two years, it has gradually occupied the vast majority of the lithium battery market. Due to the backward technology, Tianyu only has a share of lead-acid batteries.

But the demand for lead-acid batteries has been declining year after year, and profits are not as good as lithium batteries.

For this reason, production has to be continuously reduced.

Perhaps because they could not see the future and prospects of the company, several shareholders came up with the idea of ​​selling.

However, for something like a battery base, it is not that easy to negotiate a mutually satisfactory cooperation in a short period of time.

This makes Tianyu's current situation rather embarrassing.

It's like a little girl in trouble, in desperate need of a hero to save her.

And if nothing unexpected happens, future technology is likely to be this hero.

Xu Lei thought for a while, and when he had an idea in his mind, he immediately gave instructions to Chen Shihe, who was sitting in the assistant's seat not far away.

"Shihe, please print out the information I sent and send it to Zhang Xia."

"After reading it, let her bring people and people to Tianyu Company to make appropriate contact and find out their background."

"Okay Mr. Xu."

Facing Xu Lei's instructions, Chen Shihe immediately looked at him and nodded.

Then the operation started.

With Tianyu's current status, although Future Technology will not rely on its own influence to deliberately lower prices, it is not a big fat sheep that can be slaughtered by everyone.

It is most appropriate for Zhang Xia to go out on behalf of the company to interview the other party first and get the company's psychological price.

——

It has to be said that Zhang Xia is indeed very efficient. After grasping the detailed information and situation of Tianyu Battery, she sent people to have multiple contacts with the other party in the next few days.

Basically negotiate a price that is satisfactory to both parties.

In fact, in normal business negotiations, there are often many repeated processes.

And sometimes there may be no progress for ten days and a half.

Zhang Xia can be so successful not only because of the reputation and reputation of Future Technology, but also because the boss of Tianyu Battery knows her situation.

After waiting for a long time, finally a company is willing to take over, and it is also the most popular enterprise in the past two years. If we cannot seize this opportunity, I am afraid that this village will never be able to have this store.

Therefore, as long as the price reaches his heart, he will not deliberately delay time.

that's all.

After Zhang Xia and the other party agreed on a time, Xu Lei was also going to go there in person to formally sign the acquisition contract and check the specific conditions of the production line.

Thursday, November 12th.

On the way to Binjiang Industrial Zone, Xu Lei sat in the car and listened to Zhang Xia's report on the specific matters of the acquisition.

"Based on the results of previous rounds of negotiations, we have acquired all shares of Tianyu Battery for 800 million, including the battery production base located in the industrial zone and all batteries in stock."

"The acquisition contract has been reviewed by the company's legal department and there are no issues in it."

"Well, you did a good job on this matter." As Zhang Xia's voice reached his ears, Xu Lei immediately nodded in affirmation to her.

There was no hesitation in his praise in his words.

After all, if Zhang Xia had not pushed Tianyu Battery out, it would still have taken a long time to solve the problem of the battery production base.

Zhang Xia was very modest about Xu Lei's praise, and then responded aloud: "I was able to complete the negotiation so quickly, but it's all thanks to the information you asked Shihe to send, Mr. Xu. Otherwise, I would have said nothing to Tianyu Battery The actual situation cannot be grasped so clearly.”

Said.

Not long after, they stopped at the entrance of Tianyu Battery Production Base.

Before getting out of the car, Xu Lei saw a group of people coming to greet them through the car window.

The one at the head was about forty years old, with a Mediterranean-style hairstyle, and the hair volume was only a few more than Lu Hongbo's.

Xu Lei is no stranger to this person. From the previously searched information, we know that he is Jia Zhongjie, the boss of Tianyu Battery.
