Guan Yuntian thinks about the problem very broadly, for the risk of high-energy batteries, he is not entangled in one thing, but looks at the problem from the perspective of development, which makes Tong Wei, an industry expert, also admire.

"Mr. Guan is right, the energy storage equipment of high-energy batteries, as the power plant of environmentally friendly vehicles is one of its main uses, but it has many other uses, such as for field operations, marine fisheries, farmland farming and rescue and other industries or fields that need electricity to provide power, with portable, easy to use, no noise, no pollution and other traditional fuel power generation equipment does not have the advantages, as long as these uses are developed, the risk of the entire project is almost negligible. Tong Wei added.

Ye Jiayi took over, "In fact, even if it is a piece of vehicle power, we also believe that the market for large-capacity energy storage batteries will be bigger and bigger, and now the problem is that whether it is for vehicles or other fields, in addition to policy factors, the key problem is that the cost of batteries is too high, accounting for the cost of the entire equipment, forty or fifty percent, or even fifty or sixty, which is obviously not conducive to the market promotion of batteries." Tong Wei, you said that this is a technical problem, what I want to know is, in the foreseeable future, how much do you think that through technological progress, the cost of battery production can be reduced?

"Ouch, if you want me to give a specific data, I'm afraid it's a little difficult, but the world's relevant scientific research institutions and technical experts are working day and night to carry out technical research in this area, I believe that in the near future, the cost of batteries will drop significantly. ”

"Old classmate, what are the factors that constitute the main cost of high-energy batteries?" Ye Jiayi wanted to analyze from a financial point of view.

"Of course, it's raw materials, such as battery separators and electrolytes, and that's what our lab does. ”

"Oh, no wonder you're so confident in reducing the cost of batteries through technological advancements. I would venture to ask, what is the current level of the existing technology in your laboratory at home and abroad?" Ye Jiayi's question can be said to be both practical and acute for an industry expert.

"This ...... I can only say that our technology is at the advanced level in China, and there are no more than three companies in China that can reach our level. Tong Wei said bluntly.

"Has your technology built a large-scale production base in China?"

"Not yet. Some time ago, two companies contacted us, and we also visited each other's companies, but their enterprises are too small and their strength is limited, so I suggest that the hospital should not easily sign cooperation agreements with each other. ”

"Yo, it seems that there is still a high threshold for cooperating with you, tell me, what kind of conditions do you need to have in order to cooperate with you?" Ye Jiayi said.

"It's not how high the threshold, at least there must be a certain economic strength, because the cooperative construction of production bases, always need to invest in some production equipment and testing instruments, but also have other auxiliary facilities, which do not need to spend money? ”

Guan Yuntian took over the topic, "Professor Tong, can a talent from grassroots management to department executives in the world's top 500 manage such a project?"

Tong Wei blinked, "You mean like my classmate, right? People at Dow Chemical have gone from grassroots management to department executives, and they have seen everything, and it is certainly more than enough to manage such a project." Mr. Guan, what do you mean......?"

Guan Yuntian exchanged glances with Ye Jiayi, "Professor Tong, if."

Changda Group requests for comprehensive cooperation with your unit on battery materials and battery assembly technology, do you think this is possible?"

"This ...... Although Tong Wei knew that Guan Yuntian would make a similar request, he did not expect him to propose comprehensive cooperation, "Personally, of course, I am willing to cooperate with a powerful enterprise like Changda Group in an all-round way, but I need to report to the leaders of the unit and let them come forward, and after the two sides reach a consensus through consultation, the cooperation can be carried out smoothly." ”

"Of course, after all, such a big matter, only with the consent of your unit, can you negotiate cooperation intentions. Tomorrow, you talk to the relevant leaders of the unit to see what their opinions are, and we will wait for your results in the hotel. ”

The application-oriented research institute where Tong Wei works has a special department responsible for foreign cooperation, and its function is to transform the research results of the unit into productivity, and at the same time obtain certain economic benefits for the unit.

After work the next day, Tong Wei came to the foreign cooperation department of the hospital and reported the cooperation wish of Changda Group to Director Zhu, who was very happy, "Dr. Tong, this is a good thing! I have to report this matter to the leaders of the hospital." Uh, this classmate of yours, where are they now?"

"Right in the city, they're still waiting for my reply. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange a car, you go and pick them up in the hospital, and I'll report to the hospital leaders immediately." Director Zhu commanded.

Waiting for the car, Tong Wei called Ye Jiayi, "You prepare a little, I'll pick you up in the courtyard." ”

"What, you told the leader?"

"I told them, I seemed very happy, and immediately arranged a vehicle for me to pick you up and talk to the hospital, and it was said that the leaders of the hospital would also participate. ”

More than 20 minutes later, Tong Wei called downstairs and said that he had arrived at the hotel and was waiting downstairs.

Director Zhu of the International Cooperation Office told Tong Wei to take the guests directly to the reception room. The car stopped in front of the office building of the hospital, Tong Wei led Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi up to the third floor, came to the door of the reception room, knocked on the door a few times, pushed the door in, and two middle-aged people from fifty miles away were waiting inside, they stood up, "Welcome two guests! Dr. Tong, please introduce me." ”

"Okay, let me introduce you, the two guests are the leaders of Changda Group from M Province, the man is Mr. Guan, the chairman of Changda Group, and the woman is Mr. Ye, the general manager of Changda Group; Mr. Ye, Mr. Guan, this is Dean Lin, who is in charge of technology in our hospital, and this is Director Zhu of our Foreign Cooperation Department. ”

The two sides shook hands and exchanged greetings, the guest and the host sat down facing each other on two couches, separated by a huge coffee table with three different fruits on it, the waiter had poured freshly brewed tea into the teacup in front of each person, and Tong Wei sat on the single sofa at the end of the coffee table.

"Mr. Guan and Ye always made a special trip to H City on a business trip, or did they pass through here?" After sitting down, Dean Lin spoke first.

"We passed by H City, Mr. Ye and Professor Tong were high school classmates, and when we learned that Professor Tong was working here, we came to visit. "Guan Yuntian said.

"Mr. Guan, what industry are you engaged in in Changda Group now?" asked Director Zhu.

"Changda Group started with the traditional manufacturing industry, has been engaged in cord cloth, tires, oil refining and petrochemical, thermal power generation and comprehensive agriculture and other industries, a few years ago through industrial upgrading, the traditional manufacturing industry has been separated, now engaged in the industry including auto parts manufacturing, real estate development, comprehensive agriculture and commercial real estate and other four major sectors, is a standardized private joint-stock enterprise with nearly 30,000 employees and an output value of more than 40 billion. Since the other party cares about the state of the enterprise, there is no need for Guan Yuntian to be too low-key.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It should be told the truth.

"Yo, in this way, Changda Group is a veritable big enterprise!" Lao Lin said sincerely.

Thanks to President Lin's praise, Changda Group is the leading large enterprise in the region, placed in the province, and is in the top three positions among private enterprises. ”

"It is said that you are interested in high-energy batteries, and this visit to Dr. Tong is for this, is that so?"

"We were originally investigating another project, because Mr. Ye and Professor Tong are old classmates, and in mutual exchanges, Professor Tong suggested that we consider energy storage batteries. "Guan Yuntian said.

"You've found the right person, Dr. Tong's lab is an institution that studies high-energy battery materials, but it's another lab below us that does battery research. ”

"As far as I know, the key indicators such as the price, performance and service life of the battery mainly depend on the raw materials of the battery, so we are not only interested in the high-energy battery itself, but in a sense, we are more interested in the battery materials that Professor Tong and they are studying. Guan Yuntian said bluntly.

"Yes, you can't make batteries without raw materials, so you're thinking the right thing. The two CEOs, Changda Group wants to cooperate with our hospital, where are you going to start? Do you have any plans?" asked Lao Zhu.

"I heard my old classmate say that there is a threshold for cooperation with you, and not just any unit is qualified to cooperate with you, so after we discussed to see if we could initially sign an intention, you sent someone to Changda Group for a field visit, confirmed our cooperation qualifications, and then decided on specific cooperation matters, I don't know if the leaders think this is appropriate?" Ye Jiayi said.

"Well, although this is the modesty of the two CEOs, this proposal is very safe, so as not to make useless work. After all, this is a high-tech project, and the requirements for all aspects of the partner are relatively high, so let the relevant personnel go to Changda Group to see on the spot, as long as they feel that they meet the conditions, it is not too late to talk about the specific details of cooperation. Lao Lin agreed.

It is a relatively simple matter to initialize the intention, and Lao Zhu of the Foreign Cooperation Office drafted a letter of intent of three or four hundred words on the spot, and after the two sides confirmed, it was printed and sealed, and it took effect immediately.

At noon, the hospital had to entertain guests, but it was really impossible to refuse, Guan Yuntian and Ye Jiayi had to decide to stay in H City for one more day.

At the reception banquet at noon, the first and second leaders of the hospital came forward to accompany him, did not drink much, talked a lot, at the wine table, the dean decided on the spot, in order to promote the cooperation between the two sides, he instructed the vice president in charge of technology, Lao Lin, the director of the foreign cooperation department, Dr. Tong, the person in charge of the battery material project, and the person in charge of the battery assembly project, to go to Changda Group as soon as possible to investigate, and seize the time to determine the cooperation project.

"Dean Qin, if it is convenient for you, we invite you to go to Changda Group with the inspection team to guide the work, all the expenses of the inspection team are responsible for Changda Group, I wonder if Dean Qin can appreciate it?" Before the end of the wine game, Guan Yuntian sent out an invitation.

"Oh, do I need to go? In fact, Lao Qin is very willing to see what kind of company this Changda Group is.

"Since Mr. Guan sincerely invited, and there is no conflict in time, then you can go and take a look, and help us check by the way. Lao Zhu of the Foreign Cooperation Department catered to him in a timely manner.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, okay, I'll go and see it too. ”

Guan Yuntian invited the top leaders of the hospital, the purpose of which is to let the other party change the impression of the free and loose management of private enterprises through on-site inspections, dispel their concerns, and come up with real technology to cooperate with Changda Group.
