Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Naturally, Datang Heavy Industry warmly welcomed the applications from these heavy truck manufacturers.

However, because there are too many people and the itineraries are not necessarily the same, Kangchi cannot receive every one of them. It can only let the public relations department and relevant technical engineers be responsible for the negotiation.

In fact, there is nothing to talk about. It is just to accompany them to visit the battery swap station and battery production line. After that, they will be given two batteries to take back for study. Those who are interested can develop battery swap models based on this module.

When their products are manufactured and the cars are actually delivered, Datang Heavy Industries will naturally send the relevant models of batteries, and then help the car owners apply for an account on Datang Heavy Industries’ paid APP.

In addition to these heavy vehicle companies, battery manufacturers including Guoxuan Hi-Tech, AVIC Lithium Battery, and Yiwei Lithium Energy are also taking action at the same time.

For them, Datang Heavy Industries is ready to formulate a cooperation plan that is consistent with the actual conditions of each company based on their respective actual situations.

However, their treatment and positioning are definitely different from those in the Ningde era.

In order to prevent technology leaks, Kangchi's plan is to support Ningde Times to become the big brother in the field of sodium battery manufacturing, and he will be responsible for coordinating the entire sodium battery manufacturing industry chain.

Because nanobattery technology can actually be split into the entire battery industry chain, with nearly a hundred links upstream and downstream, and hundreds of companies.

If other battery factories and raw material manufacturers want to participate in the manufacturing of sodium batteries, they can only be responsible for one or more of them.

Only Datang Heavy Industries and CATL have truly mastered the full set of technologies.

Kangchi only needs to control CATL, and the full set of technologies that CATL masters is also split between multiple departments.

In this way, even if there is a technical leak in a certain link, the mastermind behind the scenes will not be able to complete the entire technical puzzle.

As for the possibility of all technical aspects being leaked,

It can be said to be almost zero...

The difficulty and cost are too great,

If this really happens, how about playing with a hammer?

Just surrender.

To put it another way, the spy war has become a hot war, and Kangchi still has a back-up of 400Wh/kg.

——

November 3, 9:00 pm.

Exactly 24 hours have passed since Guizhen started pre-sales.

The number of orders on the first day was finally fixed at 46,000!

This result simply blinded everyone.

Last month's top car sales list was Tesla's Model Y, which sold more than 4.5W units, a full 1.1W more than the second-placed Sylphy.

But this wave of Guizhen, in just 24 hours, exceeded the entire monthly sales of Model Y last month!

Moreover, it is a new car with a new energy-replenishing mode. Consumers have never even seen or touched a real car, let alone a test drive.

This achievement can be achieved not only by Kangchi's own reputation support and the extremely cost-effective naked car price, but also by the policy commitment of returning the car without any reason after ordering the car in the first two months.

This gives consumers great courage to try and make mistakes.

So on the Internet, after Datang Heavy Industry's press conference dominated the hot search list, there was another piece of news that sales exceeded 40,000 on the day of his death.

Seeing this number, almost all passenger car companies are jealous.

But those who have really taken action are Qirui and a few other car companies that have yet to make a breakthrough in the field of new energy.

New energy car companies such as BYD, Aion, NIO, Ideal, and Xpeng still decided to wait and see for a while.

Among them, BYD was firmly opposed to the battery swap model, and insisted on having its own complete industrial chain and its own battery factory.

If they cooperate with Datang Heavy Industries, it means that they will make major adjustments to the group's strategy and abandon the entire industry chain and battery factories.

A press conference alone and a sudden boom in sales are definitely not enough for them to make this decision.

What's more, their current main focus is on gasoline-electric hybrids, and the cost of a car's battery is actually not high.

Finally, if we only sell naked bikes in the future and cannot make a fuss about batteries, the profit margin will also be greatly reduced...

This is also the reason why brands such as Aian, Weilai, Ideal, and Xiaopeng all choose to wait and see first.

Before the actual delivery is resumed and the user's acceptance of the battery swap mode is still unknown, the urgency of the matter is actually not as great as imagined.

…

Datang Heavy Industries, in the chairman's office.

Kang Chi was listening to Zhang Qing's work report when Zeng Yuqing from CATL suddenly called and said:

"Mr. Kang, Anil, the head of Tesla's Greater China region, and I just had a phone call and expressed our desire to purchase our sodium batteries."

"Oh?" Kang Chi couldn't help but said with some surprise, "They can't sit still so soon?"

"Well, I guess the three-year order they just signed with LG makes them more passive. If we agree to supply them, we can find a way to let LG go..."

"Then how did you answer?"

"I said CATL is just a foundry now. If you want to buy batteries, go to Datang Heavy Industries." Zeng Yuqing said with a smile.

"He was just a little hesitant after hearing this, but I added that Datang Heavy Industries only sells replacement batteries, and then there was nothing more from him. It is estimated that their big boss still insists on the overcharging strategy and does not want to switch sides so quickly. model."

"Well, it's okay, don't worry about them for now." Kang Chi said nonchalantly,

"The current production capacity of sodium batteries is limited, and it is not enough for our own use. Not to mention that big players like Huaguo Heavy Duty Truck are coming in two days. Even if they figure it out, they probably won't have batteries for them in the short term. "

Zeng Yuqing was not surprised to hear that Huaguo Heavy Duty Truck and the others were preparing to contact Datang Heavy Industry. After all, he had been making batteries for so long, and his ability to grasp the needs and psychology of these customers was better than Kang Chi's.

However, these heavy-duty trucks have a large demand for batteries. Their entry into the market so quickly has put a lot of pressure on CATL.

After promising Kangchi to lead the entire lithium battery industry chain to complete the industrial transformation to sodium batteries within three months, Zeng Yuqing hung up the phone.

Kang Chi here continued to discuss the problems they were encountering with Zhang Qing.

Like batteries, the main issue is production capacity.

The daily sales volume is 46,000, and the monthly sales volume is a little hard to estimate.

Although sales will definitely decline over time, even a conservative estimate of monthly sales will definitely be more than three times the first day's sales.

Such a large order is a bit overwhelming for both Qirui Automobile's body production line and Datang Heavy Industries' motor production line.

The car body is not bad. Qirui is a long-established manufacturer after all. With so many production lines, they will find their own way to solve the problem of production capacity.

However, Datang Heavy Industries’ motor production cannot be expanded immediately just because it is expanded.

After nearly a year of rapid development, Datang Heavy Industry has nearly 30,000 employees, and the factory buildings alone are not enough.

Fortunately, the mountain below Kang Chi's house has been hollowed out by the military's engineering team, and it is now waiting for him to go over and inspect it.
