"Welcome Mr. Xu to inspect this small place of mine. I have asked someone to prepare some good tea in advance. I just don't know if it suits Mr. Xu's taste."

Jia Zhongjie took the initiative to open the car door for Xu Lei, always with a smile on his face when he spoke.

Even though there is a big age gap between the two, there is no hint of contempt or over-familiarity in their words.

The main reason is that he is very aware of Xu Lei's net worth. He doesn't know how many times it is higher than him, a small boss of a battery factory. In addition, he is the sponsor of the purchase of his battery production base, so he must be careful.

But Xu Lei was obviously not interested in drinking tea.

He raised his gaze and stared at the battery base in front of him, and then said lightly: "Let's go to the production line for a walk."

"Of course, no problem. Mr. Xu, please invite me."

When Jia Zhongjie saw that his proposal was ruthlessly rejected, there was no change in the expression on his face. He still made a gesture of invitation with a smile on his face.

After a while.

Surrounded by everyone, Xu Lei put on a set of operating clothes and came to the battery production workshop.

By looking around, you can see that many employees are busy, and the production line is basically automated. This is no different from the information collected.

In particular, the lithium battery production line was purchased not long ago. If the living space was not squeezed by Ningwang New Energy, the idea of ​​selling the company would not have been born at this time.

After a rough browse, it can be said that Xu Lei has made plans to acquire Tianyu Battery Company.

It's just that he has an additional idea.

When his thoughts reached this point, Xu Lei suddenly stopped, turned to Jia Zhongjie and said, "You can go sign the contract."

"Sign the contract?!"

Jia Zhongjie originally thought that Xu Lei would probably transfer all the production lines, so he didn't think about the contract for the time being. He just wanted to entertain Xu Lei first.

Anyway, the final decision-making power rests with Xu Lei.

But he never expected that Xu Lei would decide to sign the contract immediately after just two steps.

After being stunned for a moment, he quickly came back to his senses and responded with excitement: "That's great. Mr. Xu, please come to the office upstairs with me to discuss it in detail."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lei's voice sounded in his ears again.

"Wait a moment."

"I have a heartfelt request. I hope that after the acquisition is completed, Mr. Jia can continue to stay in the company and serve as my vice president."

"certainly."

"This is just a small personal request of mine and will not affect this acquisition."

Yes.

Xu Lei wants Jia Zhongjie to work for him.

From the information collected by Xingtong, we can know that Jia Zhongjie was originally a technician, and he was quite capable of building Tianyu Battery to such a scale in the environment back then.

If the development of technology had not kept up, it would not have been impossible to reach the scale of Ningwang New Energy.

Now that the company has acquired Tianyu Battery, its future development will definitely be inseparable from relevant talents.

Instead of going to a headhunter to find new managers, it would be better to use ready-made ones. After all, Jia Zhongjie, who is about forty this year, is far from reaching the retirement standard.

However, Xu Lei also understands that some people cannot adapt to the change in status.

For him to change from the boss of a company to the vice president, it is inevitable that he will have the illusion of losing face.

Jia Zhongjie can take the money from selling the company and go home to retire, or invest in a new industry to work hard again. There is no need to stay here as a laborer.

Therefore, Xu Lei made this request with the attitude of giving it a try, and did not expect that Jia Zhongjie would actually agree.

Regardless of the final outcome, it will not affect the acquisition of Tianyu Battery Company.

I have to say that Jia Zhongjie was confused after hearing Xu Lei's words. He really didn't expect Xu Lei to make such a request.

But on the other hand, this also indirectly affirms his management ability.

As the saying goes, once an emperor is like a courtier, if Future Technology acquired Tianyu Battery Company, if it did not value his management ability, it would not take the initiative to retain him.

To be honest, it would be absolutely false to say that Jia Zhongjie has no feelings for this company.

After all, he founded Tianyu Battery from scratch, and even if he is forced to sell it now, he will inevitably feel a little reluctant to give up.

If you can take this opportunity to join a future technology company, it may be a good thing. You must know that the development prospects of future technology are obvious to all the world.

And the most important point.

He doesn't accept old age at the moment, and he doesn't think he has reached the age to retire.

In just over ten seconds, a lot of thoughts flashed through Jia Zhongjie's mind and he successfully made the final decision.

Just when Xu Lei was about to give up, he immediately and solemnly replied:

"Mr. Xu, I am willing to stay."

"It is my great fortune to be able to work for someone like you, Mr. Xu."

"With the support of future technology, Tianyu Battery believes that it will still be active in the lithium battery market in the future and even become the world's largest lithium battery supplier."

The more Jia Zhongjie talked, the more excited he became, as if he had already seen Tianyu Battery crushing Ningwang New Energy.

Xu Lei was quite happy when he saw that Jia Zhongjie agreed to his request.

It's a pity that those scenes in the other party's words may never have a chance to appear.

Because after being acquired by Future Technology, Tianyu Battery will directly withdraw from the field of lithium batteries and turn its head towards the embrace of metal all-solid-state batteries.

"It is probably impossible to still be active in the lithium battery market, but congratulations on making a very correct decision. Welcome to join Future Technology."

"no way?"

Jia Zhongjie was a little confused by Xu Lei's words and didn't quite understand the meaning.

Just as he was about to ask more questions, he found that Xu Lei had already walked away.

So I had to put this doubt behind me and quickly followed him.

Since the sale of Tianyu Battery was approved by all shareholders, and Jia Zhongjie and Zhang Xia had finalized a specific acquisition plan in the early stage, the process of signing the contract was very smooth.

When the exchange contract between the two parties is signed, it basically means that this battery production base has been owned by Future Technology.

——

"Mr. Xu."

"The company's current battery base has an annual production capacity of lithium batteries of 60,000 100kW electric power batteries and 6 million mobile phone batteries."

"The manufacturers we cooperate with include several well-known domestic battery car brands, as well as domestic mobile phone brands."

Jia Zhongjie entered his identity very quickly. After officially signing the contract, he immediately found his status as a subordinate and proudly introduced the situation of this battery base to Xu Lei.

After listening to these contents, Xu Lei also understood more clearly the gap between Tianyu Battery and Ningwang New Energy.

Tianyu cannot compare with its annual production capacity of more than one million power batteries.

As for the mobile phone brands that Jia Zhongjie talked about cooperating with, Xu Lei knew that they were all small brands with no reputation, and the entire mobile phone only cost a few hundred yuan.

It really doesn't make much sense.

However, Xu Lei also noticed a new problem.

That is the production capacity problem of this battery base.

Based on the current production line alone, even if the production of solid-state batteries can be more efficient, I am afraid that it will be far from meeting the market demand by then.

In particular, the sales of new energy vehicles have been rising year after year.

As a result, many new energy vehicle brands have encountered the embarrassing situation of difficulty in finding batteries.

However, investing in and building a new base takes too much time. After much deliberation, the most appropriate way is to focus on the production line.

Strive to use artificial intelligence, which is the best in future technology, to transform and upgrade existing production lines into intelligent production lines.

By then, production capacity will surely increase significantly.

"It seems that researchers in other fields within the research center can also use it."

While Xu Lei was thinking about renovating the production line, Jia Zhongjie saw that he had not received a response, so he asked again.

"Mr. Xu, what are our next plans?"

In Jia Zhongjie's view, the so-called three things that a new official should do when he takes office. Now that Tianyu Battery has the support of future technology, it should take some actions to regain the attention of the outside world.

At least he himself was looking forward to it.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Xu Lei's next answer surprised him.

"Tell me your next plan."

"Temporarily stop all production lines. In addition, all batteries in stock will be sold as soon as possible, and all partners will be informed that Tianyu Batteries will temporarily cut off supply."

stop producing?

A complete stock-out?

After Jia Zhongjie listened to Xu Lei's instructions, he thought for a moment that he had heard wrongly.

In all the years he has been a boss, he has never seen anyone do this to seek death.

The survival space of Tianyu Battery is gradually decreasing. If the production line is stopped at this time and the cooperative brands are out of stock, I am afraid that Tianyu Battery will no longer be able to survive in the industry.

Did Future Technology spend so much money to acquire Tianyu Battery just to watch it die?

Jia Zhongjie couldn't figure this out.

Even at this time, he had some doubts about how Xu Lei led Future Technology to become the industry's influence today. After all, these are absolutely outrageous.

Besides, if the company stops production, how will so many employees in the base be accommodated?

If we choose to lay off employees on the spot, it will be difficult to recruit so many skilled workers in a short period of time.

After thinking about these key information, Jia Zhongjie dared to hesitate and quickly reminded Xu Lei: "Mr. Xu, if all production is stopped, it will have a serious impact on the company. I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the lithium battery market in the future."

"Besides, how to arrange the placement of so many employees? Please consider this matter carefully."

Xu Lei was not surprised by Jia Zhongjie's reaction. After all, his agreement to stay at the base showed that he still had feelings for the company.

But since the production line needs to be renovated and upgraded, production suspension is something that must be experienced.

Anyway, Xu Lei didn't even think about developing in the lithium battery market.

So after a moment's hesitation, he explained in detail: "Who said we were going to gain a foothold in the lithium battery market? The reason for the suspension of production is to renovate and upgrade the production line."

"As for employees in the base, their basic wages will still be paid. They can also take on new jobs during the production line renovation period and continue to come back to work later."
