My science and technology museum

In order to obtain a sufficient quantity of solid-state batteries, Kulas did not hesitate to come to Binjiang City from Lijiannifu Island in person, and was treated very coldly.

In the past, due to the need to compete for the production capacity share of solid-state batteries, I tolerated it and did not break out.

But now he really can't control it.

I just felt an unknown anger welling up in my chest.

Extremely angry.

Because in this plan, the annual production capacity that Pingguo can obtain is less than 10 million yuan.

It is the least popular among several mobile phone brands present.

You know, this is a year's worth.

As a top smart device technology company, Pingguo's global shipments of one of its mobile phones alone reached 60 million units last year.

Not exaggerating.

The solid-state batteries I got at this time may not even be enough to fit between teeth.

At this time, Kuras still doesn’t understand that Future Technology’s move is to support their domestic brands and secretly suppress their Pingguo mobile phones.

With such a big gap in the number of solid-state batteries, I am afraid that Pingguo’s domestic market share will soon be wiped out by brands such as Xiaomi Warwick.

The key is that Pingguo has no way to deal with this situation, because they do not have the production technology for this kind of solid-state battery.

Even Sanxing Electronics, which we often cooperate with, does not have relatively advanced technology in batteries.

It would be considered a great success if it didn't explode.

Xu Lei took Kulas' performance into account, and it was basically as he expected.

Pingguo has occupied the high-end mobile phone market in China for so many years. If there is an opportunity, Xu Lei will definitely provide appropriate support to domestic brands, and increasing the number of their solid-state batteries is the best way.

In this way, Pingguo loses sufficient supply of solid-state battery mobile phones, and can only shift its market focus overseas.

Moreover, had he not led the Chinese Academy of Sciences project team to successfully develop a top-level lithography machine and get rid of the embarrassing situation of no high-end chips available, I am afraid that the market share owned by Warwick would have gone to Pingguo.

Pingguo now lacks solid-state batteries, just as Warwick was unable to make high-end chips.

However, in front of so many brand company leaders, Xu Lei naturally would not say what is in his heart directly.

Then he pretended to appease Kulas.

"There is no need to worry, Mr. Kulas."

"I have no idea about the allocation of production capacity shares."

"After all, Xingyuan Battery has just been established, and we have a limited production capacity, and we need to use more of our production capacity in the production of power batteries."

"But don't worry."

"When our production capacity increases next year, we will definitely meet your company's needs."

There was nothing wrong with Xu Lei's words, but Kulas felt it was particularly harsh. He stood up immediately when his anger level reached his peak, and said on the spot that he would give up the purchase of solid-state batteries.

"Since you are so insincere, there is no need to discuss this cooperation. Even if our mobile phones do not use solid-state batteries, we can still guarantee sales."

The words just fell.

Before Xu Lei could respond, he immediately turned around and pushed open the door with his assistant Mel to leave.

Xu Lei definitely did not expect this situation to occur.

Originally, he just gave Pingguo the minimum share of production capacity, thinking that even if the other party was dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything.

But I didn't expect that Kulas had quite a personality and actually chose to refuse to cooperate.

Unfortunately, this approach will only affect Pingguo himself in the end.

What is worth mentioning is that when Kulas was about to disappear from sight, Xu Lei still opened his mouth to add something.

"Mr. Kulas, Xingyuan Battery welcomes you to come over at any time to discuss cooperation."

…

As Pingguo voluntarily withdraws from the competition, the remaining process will be much faster.

Major brand companies no longer question their share of production capacity, which can be regarded as a successful conclusion to this investment conference.

in addition.

In addition to allocating Pingguo's share to Xiaomi Warwick, Xu Lei also made certain reservations in the production capacity of power batteries.

Because this is related to Xingyuan Battery’s subsequent layout in the industry.

Due to the flight problem, even though Kuras was extremely angry, he could only stay in his hotel room temporarily and could not fly back to the company headquarters immediately.

But if someone was outside the door at this time, they would definitely hear angry voices.

"It's absolutely abominable."

"They had no intention of selling us enough solid-state batteries to begin with."

"Originally, I thought I could get at least tens of millions of purchase orders for the company this time, but it turned out to be less than ten million. It was obviously targeting us."

Mel, who was standing quietly next to him, listened to what Kulas said. Although he understood that his boss was in a bad mood at this time, he still gave a reminder after a slight hesitation.

"boss."

"Will giving up the purchase of solid-state batteries make our future situation more difficult?"

Now that Huawei, Xiaomi and other mobile phone brands have obtained sufficient quantities of solid-state batteries, when the three large-scale bases of Xingyuan Battery are completed and officially put into use, various solid-state battery mobile phones will inevitably appear on the market like mushrooms after a rain.

And it still covers all markets of high, middle and low levels.

By that time, only Pingguo is still using traditional lithium batteries, and its competitiveness will definitely drop significantly.

Will seriously affect mobile phone sales.

certainly.

Kulas is very aware of these situations, and he also understands that the number of solid-state batteries of less than 10 million will still not have much effect.

Therefore, rather than being constrained by future technology, we should decisively give up cooperation and find another way out.

He does not believe that as the world's top smart device technology company, it will be stumped by a small battery.

But just when Kulas was about to respond to Mel's concerns, there was a sudden knock on the door, accompanied by the voice of a foreign girl.

"Ms. Meier, there is someone outside who calls himself Ningwang New Energy Company and wants to see Mr. Kulas."

"Ning Wang New Energy?"

Kuras's expression was startled when he heard these words, and a little suspicion flashed in his heart.

He knew Ningwang New Energy, which was considered a large-scale lithium battery production company in the battery industry.

The other party was able to find his hotel and come to the door at this time, obviously with some purpose, but as a company that mainly produces power batteries, Kuras couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do with him.

Just considering the current predicament Pingguo was facing, he responded immediately after a slight hesitation.

"Let the other person come in."

Not long after.

Led by a blonde beauty, Zhou Jia, who was dressed in formal suits and leather shoes, finally met Kulas, CEO of Pingguo.

Zhou Jia was born overseas and joined Ningwang New Energy after completing his doctoral studies there. He has been responsible for battery technology research for several years.

With the development in the past few years, Ningwang New Energy has quickly become the largest lithium battery production company in the world.

The market value is rising steadily.

But who could have expected that during the critical period of the company's development, Xingyuan Battery suddenly announced that it had conquered solid-state battery production technology and reduced the cost to the same level as lithium batteries.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the lithium battery industry.

Faced with this unexpected situation, Ningwang New Energy could only choose to save itself and use sodium-ion batteries that are still in the laboratory stage.

However, since the new energy vehicle brands that had previously cooperated have all invested in solid-state batteries, they had to change their strategies and choose the mobile phone battery market, hoping to take this opportunity to build a reputation for sodium-ion batteries.

As long as it can compete with solid-state batteries, Ningwang New Energy will still have a chance.

"Mr. Kulas, our sodium-ion batteries are cheaper than traditional lithium batteries, and their performance is also on par with solid-state batteries."

"If you choose to use it, you may be able to get out of your current predicament."

After both parties completed the introduction and expressed their intentions, Zhou Jia stopped wasting time and directly discussed cooperation with Kulas.

Being able to cooperate with a world-renowned brand like Pingguo will definitely help a lot in promoting its new sodium-ion battery. Zhou Jia finally found a suitable opportunity after investigating for so many days, so naturally he didn't want to miss it.

At the same time, Kulas was also thinking about Zhou Jia's words.

He doesn't know exactly what the performance of sodium-ion batteries is. If it can really catch up with the performance of solid-state batteries, he can give it a try.

At least it can resolve Pingguo's current embarrassing situation.

Moreover, unlike Xingyuan Battery, which is building a production base, Yiningwang New Energy’s production capacity will soon be able to deliver batteries.

In this way, Pingguo's sodium-ion battery mobile phone can also be launched as soon as possible.

After careful consideration, Kulas finally made the decision to cooperate.

"I hope we can work together happily."

When he spoke this sentence with a relaxed expression, he immediately stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Jia's hand.

…

With the end of the investment conference held by Future Technology, major brand companies have also issued announcements after leaving Binjiang City, stating that they plan to officially launch solid-state battery new energy vehicles next year.

Due to the continued rise in gas prices, many people are faced with the embarrassing situation of not being able to drive a car.

This makes people who originally planned to buy a car feel a little confused.

Although new energy vehicles are a good choice, there are still many problems in terms of battery range and insufficient charging station facilities.

But things are different now.

Using the latest solid-state batteries, the cruising range has been increased by at least three times compared to before, and it can run even on highways in the province.

It's perfect for use in cities.

So everyone on the Internet was very happy and excited after seeing the good news.

However, some people who are Tesla users have questioned this.

Wondering why Tesla cars aren't included.

“In the past, new energy vehicles could only be called battery vehicles, but now I am willing to admit that they are cars.”

"I finally used a solid-state power battery. I have a goal next time I change my car."

"I have to get it this time."

"It's a pity that when solid-state power battery vehicles are launched, at least the new base of Xingyuan Battery must be completed. I don't know how long it will take."

"Why didn't Truss respond? Don't they plan to use Xingyuan's solid-state batteries?"

"It's normal, isn't there any movement from Pingguo Sanxing?"

"A friend recommended that I buy Tesla. It would be perfect if it was equipped with a solid-state power battery."
